Chapter 195: The wicked sue first and the second watch
Seeing that the banner was coming from the Ming army, I didn't know whose team it was, so Lin Yi restrained his horse and stopped temporarily.
Under the clear sky, the banner of this team is becoming clearer and clearer. The colorful flags of five red flowers and green are waving in the wind. Among them, there is a red satin banner with gilt border, and the middle of the banner is embroidered with the word "Yang" in the fiery red ancient seal style.
Other banners also have the words "Acting Son of Heaven, Governor of the World Soldiers and Horses, Thieves and Exterminators, Scholars of the Ministry of Rites and Soldiers, and Scholars of the Eastern Pavilion University".
Just look at these to know, the person who came must be Yang Sichang, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the scholar of Dongge University, because he is the first assistant of the cabinet and is also in charge of the military department, so he is called the Yang Pavilion Department.
Lin Yi chuckled in his heart, this old guy is here?
Of course, Lin Yi is no stranger to Yang Sichang, this is a typical surrender faction, he is powerless in front of the Tartars, and he advocates peace. As for these peasant armies, he always had more methods than problems, and his methods were extremely clever, mainly by bloody suppression. The plan of four squares and six corners and ambushes on all sides was put forward by him. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, etc., almost went out under his blow.
Because of his traitorous and reactionary policy of suppressing at home and seeking peace abroad, he was opposed by many colleagues. For example, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Zheng Chongjian, Xiong Wencan, Zuo Liangyu, Shao Jiechun, etc., all have contradictions with him to some extent, but due to his power, they are all inseparable from him.
The most explicit opposition to him is Lu Xiangsheng, this is a typical figure of the main battle faction, the attack on the Tartars, advocating to fight to the death, Yang Sichang and the eunuch Gao Qiqian colluded, making things difficult and obstructing in every way, Lin Yi encountered a grievance, killed Lu Xiangsheng's undercover agent in Dongchang, and offended Yang Sichang and Eunuch Gao.
The two of them conspired to put Lu Xiangsheng and Lin Yi to death, put them in a prisoner car, and almost lost their heads.
Although Lu Xiangsheng is admirable, he is a foolish loyal. And Lin Yi was not a submissive person, he killed all the way, smashed the conspiracy of Yang Sichang and Eunuch Gao, and thousands of factory guards were all executed.
Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian fled back to Kyoto in embarrassment, and during that period Lin Yi became a thief of the imperial court, and Lu Xiangsheng retreated bravely and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Lin Yi was in the mountains and forests, and it was not until the Jingshi broke the siege and rescued the driver and drove away the Huang Taiji father and son that he was able to clear his grievances and become the official of the imperial court.
Because of the suspicion of framing Lin Yi and Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang was imprisoned for a time, and Lin Yi's official position soared, but the two of them became deeper and deeper, and these unforgettable experiences have only passed a year or two, and Lin Yi will certainly not forget them.
In addition, Lin Yi is also very clear about the situation in the DPRK and China now. Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious, and the military department changed one every few months on average, Yang Sichang, Zheng Chongjian, and Fu Zonglong. Although Yang Sichang, who is now up and down in the sea, is equivalent to the post of secretary of the military department, Emperor Chongzhen has a lot of opinions about him.
But in contrast, this Yang Pavilion is still in power, and he has the sword of Shang Fang on Emperor Chongzhen, so that he can be the governor of the world and make every effort to suppress thieves. This shows that Emperor Chongzhen still trusts her, and Fu Zonglong, who has only gone up now, is just in charge of the affairs of the military department, so Yang Sichang's power is still quite large.
Now seeing Yang Sichang's team coming, Lin Yi had to be vigilant about this person. Especially now, Lin Yi and Liu Zeqing have made trouble to such an inseparable point, Yang Sichang may have a crooked mouth, he will be unlucky, after all, he is now exercising part of his rights instead of the Son of Heaven, he must be vigilant, in this troubled era, it is the most important thing to be able to preserve his strength, stay in the green mountains, and he is not afraid of no firewood.
Therefore, he immediately changed his mind when he was sober-minded, temporarily gave up chasing Li Huajing and Liu Zeqing, and Pegasus walked back, he wanted to see what this Yang Gebu was doing? Then what is his attitude towards him and Liu Zeqing, and then make a decision. As for Li Huajing's matter, you can put it aside for the time being. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
After making up his mind, Lin Yi Pegasus walked back.
After walking out of seven or eight miles, he met Zhang Hua, Xiaoying, Zhezhe and others.
Seeing that Lin Yi was safe and sound, their hearts were all relieved.
Zhang Hua and the others are Lin Yi's guards, and the essence of the guards is, of course, to protect the safety of the main general, and they are all in a hurry after leaving the main general for so long.
Of course, the more anxious are Xiaoying and Zhezhe and other female battalion soldiers.
At the beginning, they had been fighting, eager to kill Liu Zeqing's generals and avenge the two tigers, which was too annoying.
But later, they found that Lin Yi was gone. Although they knew that Lin Yi's magic skills were superb, once they couldn't see Lin Yi, they would have no backbone, as if people had no soul. Therefore, they are no longer in love, and their goal is to find Lin Yi.
Now that Master Lin has finally met them, safe and sound, their hearts have been relieved.
Zhang Hua came over to complain about his grievances: "My lord, where have you gone?" If you don't come again, none of your subordinates and the soldiers of the guard battalion will survive. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Xiaoying and Zhezhe, the two aunts and grandmothers, have to eat us, and their subordinates suggest that all the guard battalions be replaced by BMW horses, and we must catch up with the adults' war horses, and we will be inseparable from the adults, and we will live and die together, otherwise we will not die on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and we will be slaughtered by these aunts and grandmothers." Zhang Hua said and glanced at Xiao Ying, Zhe and the others.
The two of them blushed, "Brother Zhang, you are less poor." Then he looked at Lin Yi, "Brother Lin is not injured, have you ever caught up with Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing?" ”
Lin Yi briefly said what had just happened. These people heard that Lin Yi single-handedly entered the joint camp of Liu Zeqing and others, if he entered a no-man's land, thousands of soldiers would not be able to resist him, and the archers stumbling on the horse rope were all useless, chasing Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing and others to the sky and the ground, and finally they both ran out of the camp and fled to the camp of Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei for refuge.
When these people sighed that Lin Yi was brave and invincible, they felt that their Lord Lin was full of guts, but this was too dangerous, in case they fell into the conspiracy of Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing, the consequences would be unimaginable, fortunately, the adults were safe and sound, Xiao Ying, Zhezhe and Zhang Hua They all thanked God in their hearts and blessed them Lord Lin is safe and sound, otherwise if something goes wrong, they feel that the sky has fallen.
"Listen, Yang Sichang is here, and tell the brothers to immediately collect their troops and retreat to the north bank of the Baishui River, and assemble to stand by."
These people have been following Lin Yi for so long, of course they know about Yang Sichang and the festival between Yang Sichang and Lin Yi.
This Shechen is here, and it is estimated that nothing good will happen. Especially in the matter of Lin Yi and Liu Zeqing, maybe he wants to take advantage of the scenery to make love, fight dissidents, and take revenge on Lin Yi, if this is the case, if he dares to be unfavorable to Lord Lin, we will never agree!
Therefore, the generals obeyed the order, followed Lin Yi to collect his troops and retreated to the north bank of the Baishui River, patrolled the camp, cleaned up the battlefield, rested the men, collected the prisoners, and went about their business.
Lin Yi immediately convened a meeting of the battalion officers of the five battalions, and Liu Zeqing was in trouble, Yang Sichang would definitely not ignore it, if he talked about the matter, it would be fine, if this traitor announced a personal vendetta and designed a hook, he had to give him some color to see, so that the army would be aware of it and be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.
In addition, let his subordinate generals take care of the prisoners, and now they still have 20,000 captives of Luo Rucai, including the thief prisoner Luo Rucai, who has not yet had time to deal with them.
Lin Yi sent a scout horse to pay close attention to the movements of these officers and troops on the other side of the Baishui River. lest Yang Sichang launch a surprise attack, detain him on trumped-up charges, let these generals make his dumplings, and he is still in the dark, these ministers and warlords can do anything, and they have to guard against it.
The arrival of Yang Sichang and some staff members can be regarded as solving the immediate crisis and temporarily saving the lives of Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing, otherwise this fatal ghost would have chased down all the way and killed them all, and there was really no one to stop him.
In Zhu Dadian and Hu David, they also had to admire the combat effectiveness of Lin Yi's army, but they didn't expect that Liu Zeqing's troops, who were stronger than Lin Yi and had more soldiers and horses than Lin Yi, would collapse at the touch of a button, and they would be vulnerable in front of Lin Yi's men and horses, no wonder Luo Rucai was so many thieves that he would be wiped out by Lin Yi's troops in one battle.
But this matter can't be hidden, how to explain this matter to Yang Gebu? Zhu Dadian and Hu David gave Liu Zeqing a suggestion, Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing discussed it again, and finally came up with a solution.
After Lin Yi's men and horses retreated to the north bank of the Baishui River, Liu Zeqing's scattered men and horses returned to the barracks one after another, but they could not go back to the dead.
After Liu Zeqing and Li Huajing returned to the camp, they reorganized their troops and horses, and a total of more than 1,000 people were killed and injured in the clashes. Liu Zeqing ordered people to place the thousands of corpses at the gate of the camp and lined them up. Some of the wounded were also "put on standby" near the camp gate.
After weighing the words in his stomach, Liu Zeqing took Li Huajing to see Yang Sichang to complain......
At this time, Yang Sichang's camp had been set up, and the two chief military officers Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei brought their lieutenant generals and generals to visit Yang Sichang and greet this Yang Ge Ministry.
Yang Sichang looked at them and nodded, let them get up and talk, and asked them about the battle situation along the way, the two general soldiers did not dare to conceal it, when it was said that Lin Yi, the general soldier of Miyun, annihilated Luo Rucai's soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Baishui River, and captured the thief chief Luo Rucai alive, Yang Sichang was surprised and delighted.
The soldiers and horses of Luo Rucai, who were completely annihilated, and captured this old thief prisoner, Amitabha Buddha blessed the gods, and finally exterminated this Cao Cao, the emperor knew, maybe how happy he was!
Yang Sichang was in a happy mood: "Where is Mr. Lin, why don't you come to see the Cabinet Department?" Why didn't you see Liu Zongbing in Shandong? ”
Zhu Dadian and Hu David said: "If you go back to the cabinet, something big has happened." There was a discord between the two of them, Lin Zongbing was afraid that he would not dare to come, Shandong General Liu Zeqing and Lord Liu were waiting outside, and the details of the Lord should ask Liu Zongbing. ”
Yang Sichang felt that there was something wrong here: "Since this is the case, let Liu Zeqing come to see the headquarters."
Liu Zeqing had already prepared outside, and after coming in, he knelt on the ground and began to shout grievances.
