Chapter 51: Zu Kuan is angry Today's second update
Lin Yi won three battles and three victories in Yongping, seriously injured Amin's main force, and now Amin didn't dare to come again, so he took hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals and Yue Tuo's corpse to find his boss Azig and the overseer Abatei.
Lin Yi became a famous hero in Yongping City, causing a sensation in the entire Yongping City, and the prefect was personally accompanied by the prefect every day.
Lin Yi knew what had changed about them, and he didn't bother with them much, and he would settle accounts when he had the opportunity to clean them up in the future.
In this way, they stayed in Yongping City for a few more days, until Wang Jian and Zu Keyong's injuries healed, and then they decided to leave Yongping and go to the governor Lu Xiangsheng and others to serve their orders.
The prefect repeatedly retained him, and strongly recommended Lin Yi to guard Yongping, and the folds have been reported, and the approval will come down soon.
Lin Yi politely declined him. During this period, there has been no news of Zu Kuan, Zu Keyong held a pimple in his heart, my chief soldier, you let your subordinates be the vanguard for you, where is your main force?
At the time of parting, the prefect Li Qi gave Lin Yi 500 taels of silver, and after Lin Yi thanked the prefect, he gave all the silver to Xiaoying, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, Zhao Tingshou, Yang Fang and Zhao Sheng, etc., of course, the peasant warriors Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan also shared.
I heard that Lin Yi was leaving Yongping, and more than 2,000 soldiers and generals in the city would follow, whether it was a temporarily recruited peasant warrior or the original defender of the city, men, women and children, scrambling to be the first.
Lin Yi is short of army commanders, but of course Lin Yi can't take all of these people, except for the 18 people they came to Yongping, Lin Yi only picked 300 strong.
These 300 people are all peasant warriors who have volunteered and are willing to be loyal to Lin Yi forever, including Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan, of course, and the original military general Lin Yi in the city did not bring any of them.
Lin Yi asked the prefect, and of course the prefect Li Qi had no objections, because Lin Yi and Zu Keyong were going to King Qinwang in Gyeonggi, and the prefect only had full support and cooperation, and of course they did not dare to have objections.
But Lin Yi couldn't chill the enthusiasm of the remaining people, Lin Yi comforted him and cashed in the amount of money he promised them. The original army in the city was still handed over to the prefect, and these were all soldiers in the city, as for those who selected the leftovers, those who temporarily recruited more than 1,000 peasant warriors to defend the city.
Lin Yi suggested that the prefect, according to their own volition, should be incorporated into an army to make up for the shortage in the Yongping garrison, and the prefect Li Qi readily agreed, and promised that Lin Yi would treat them well, and if possible, the prefect would welcome Lin Yi and them back on behalf of the Yongping people.
Lin Yi smiled and said that it must be certain, and there will be a period in the future.
On the day of leaving, from the prefect's staff, down to the ordinary people, the squires and rich people, and the military generals in the city, all came out to see each other, and thousands of people were empty.
Several beautiful girls and sisters-in-law held Xiaoying's hand, and the elder sister begged and the younger sister begged, and finally comforted and blessed each other.
Xiao Ying's eyes were as red as peaches, and after taking a few steps, a little boy with a slingshot chased after her, and she was born with a tiger's brain.
"Sister Xiaoying, let's talk about it, when I grow up, you come to pick me up, and I will kill the Tartars like Lin Yingying."
"Tie Dan'er, my sister promised you, it must be." Xiaoying held him in her arms, tears rippling.
They didn't stay in Yongping for a long time, but Lin Yi and the people of Yongping have formed a deep relationship, this kind of relationship is not family affection, it is better than family affection, it is the deep affection of fish and water with blood thicker than water, especially Lin Yi and their recruited warriors, Lin Yi and Xiaoying and others, have become heroic brothers and sisters in their hearts.
Lin Yi said goodbye to them in tears, how far they went, Yongping people were still waving to Lin Yi and them.
Lin Yi left Yongping with a team of more than 300 people.
The composition of these more than 300 people mainly comes from three sources, one is the Ning Yuan Army from Zu Keyong, although there are few pitiful people, only ten people, but they are the elite of the Ning Yuan Army. The second is from the Sanchakou Guard, including Lin Yi and Wang Jian, no more than ten people, to be precise, they are border soldiers who have entered the station, and this is also the elite after repeated battles and big waves. The third is the common people from Yongping City, there are 300 people, and these 300 people have been selected from more than 1,000 warriors who have been recruited to defend the city. After two battles with the Tartars and Lin Yi's short-term training for them, they also completed the transformation from ordinary people to soldiers.
These more than 300 people are Lin Yi's first team in the real sense, and they are also the first pot of gold in this troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty after he crossed over.
A few days later, Lin Yi and his team arrived in the western part of Qian'an.
In the western part of Qian'an County, that is, in the area of Xinglong County in later generations, Lin Yi's team found Zu Kuan's team.
Zu Band led 6,000 Ning Yuan troops to camp here, these 6,000 men and horses have 3,000 foot soldiers, 3,000 iron cavalry, Zu Kuan has already connected with Lu Xiangsheng who arrived in Yuyang, and Governor Lu ordered Zu Kuan to be stationed here to intercept the Tartars.
In the big tent, Zu Kuan and deputy general Li Mingfu were deliberating.
Zu Kuansheng has broad shoulders and a thick back, a big shoulder, a round waist, and a square face, and he looks like a fierce man in the army.
"Governor Lu is asking us to wait here, and he won't let the troops enter, it's really urgent."
"Don't worry, master, this time the Tartars are overwhelming, and the Governor of Luyan has six soldiers and horses, so he has to complete the deployment of troops in order to encircle and annihilate the Tartars, let's stay here, but we are also idle."
"Hmm......" Zu Kuan snorted long, leaning back with his huge body, "There is a village a few miles to the south, you bring someone to wash it tonight, and get a few delicious girls to come over." ”
Li Mingfu's face was embarrassed, "Master, the Governor has arrived in Yuyang, King Lu Yan is very strict in governing the army, and His Majesty's Shang Fang Sword, if the Governor knows, it will be bad for the Governor." ”
Zu Kuan has a virtue with the original Zu Keyong, they have been guarding the pass outside the pass for a long time, and they have never developed the habit of guarding military discipline, which is called the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, what kind of commander is destined to bring out what kind of soldiers.
If you want to say that Ning Yuan's army is famous, it means fighting, but their military discipline is really poor. Especially worse is Zu Kuan's team, they fought bravely, attacked everything, and were invincible.
But their greatest problem is that they like to plunder villages, bully the common people, and burn people's houses and rape women wherever their army passes, more than those bandits and thieves.
Outside Shanhaiguan, especially under Zu Dashou's subordinates, when Yuan Chonghuan was dominant, Zu Kuan and the others simply did whatever they wanted.
Later, Yuan Chonghuan had an accident and was executed by Emperor Chongzhen Ling Chi, and I heard that a total of more than 3,500 knives were cut, and Ning Yuanjun's image also plummeted. Although Emperor Chongzhen was later frightened and appeased, until now, Zu Dashou, the new leader of the Ning Yuan Army, did not dare to enter Beijing, for fear of being captured by Jinyiwei.
Since then, Zu Kuan has been afraid whenever he leaves the border pass. In the past few years, although he and Zuo Liangyu, the commander of Cao Da, fought with Gao Yingxiang, fought with Li Zicheng, fought with Zhang Xianzhong, and fought with Lao Huihui, he repeatedly made military exploits and annihilated countless enemies.
But this time when he was going to King Gyeonggi Qin, a string jumped in his head, and the shadow of Yuan Chonghuan lingered in his mind.
Now that they have come to Guannai, especially near Gyeonggi, and are serving under King Lu Yan, along the way, Zukuan and their reins have been somewhat restrained, but after all, their nature is difficult to change.
Zu Kuan's heart itched uncomfortably, "Lao Li, why are you so brainless, can't you come to the dark if you can't do it?" Lao Tzu works hard for the court, and he doesn't want his head, can't he play with a girl? ”
Li Mingfu knew that he was the chief master with a hot temper, and if he said another word, he would scold his mother, and other generals would not even dare to say a word in front of him, and he would kill people if he stared.
As a deputy general, he has a bit of face, so Li Mingfu, who is self-aware, has no choice but to nod, "Okay, tonight, my subordinates will send a few people to pretend to be thieves, so that the chief master will be happy." ”
"That's right." Zu Kuan's big face showed an expectant smile.
Outside the tent, a soldier came in and reported: "Lord Qiyu, the guerrilla commander Zu Keyong has returned."
"Who?" Zu Kuan's big square face tensed when he heard the name.
Zu Keyong has not been in contact with him these days, and he thinks that more than 1,000 people and horses are missing, but Zu Keyong is his confidant, right-hand man, and opens the way for him in front.
Now the vanguard of the front is gone, so many days, he hasn't found it two days ago, and then after a long time, Zu Kuan, who is the deputy chief soldier, has no vanguard, of course, this matter can't be counted.
Sent someone to inquire and there was no news, Zu Kuan thought that they were lost, or where to enjoy it, the former is unlikely, and the latter's words will definitely bring more benefits to honor him after he comes back, and beauties are indispensable.
For the first few days, Zu Kuan was still looking forward to good things, but he was always disappointed, and then he scolded his mother.
The night before yesterday, he and Li Mingfu also scolded Zu Keyong, who had been missing, and Zu Keyong suddenly had news now, and Zu Kuan was stunned as if he hadn't heard the difference.
"Back to the master, the guerrilla commander Zu Keyong is back." The doorman who reported the incident had to repeat it.
"Let him come to me!" Zu Kuan said.
After Zu Keyong entered the account, he found that Zu Kuan's face was wrong, and hurriedly gave Zu Kuan a salute: "The last general will see the vice president."
Zu Kuan stared at the flesh on his face and jumped a few times, don't look at Zu Keyong who is irritable and rude, but he is like a sheep in front of Zu Kuan, not just superiors and subordinates, in terms of temper and ability, Zu Keyong can only be a small thing compared to Zu Kuan.
Zu Keyong knew that Zu Kuan was about to break out, and he was ready.
"You still know to come back! Where have you died these days? ”
"The adults are angry, and the subordinates have a love in return...... Zu Keyong also held back the fire in his belly, and said secretly, Master, you still ask me, we fought with the Tartars in front, and more than 1,000 people fought out? Where are you? Trapped in Yongping, it is in danger. We sent people to bring rescue troops, and we wanted to see through it, and the city was almost destroyed, where are you?
But how dare he say this, he can only suppress the fire and explain patiently and truthfully.
How do you know that Zu Keyong just finished explaining, Zu Kuan was furious, and he shot the case, "Dut! Zu Keyong, Zu Keyong, you can't lie, you have more than 1,000 people, can you defeat Yue Tuo and Amin's tens of thousands of eight horsemen? Do you know who Yue Tuo and Amin are? Would the Grand Commander dare to boast about it? Where did a Lin Yi come out, could it be more powerful than this general soldier? After following the Great Commander for so many years, don't you still know the temper of the Great Commander? Dare to talk nonsense, this is worth it. Come on, push it out, cut it! ”
