Chapter 409: Li Chengdong Gives Advice One Change
Gao Guiying and Li Yan strongly opposed Lin Yi for letting Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie lure the enemy, including Song Xiance.
But in front of the generals, they were not easy to speak, and they pulled Lin Yi to a place where no one was, and they expressed their opinions.
Although Zuo Liangyu is brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, but he, like He Renlong, was the general who escaped at the beginning, fighting with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, he could only win the battle, and if he lost the battle, they would choose to flee, in order to preserve their strength or even a wait-and-see attitude.
Especially this Gao Jie, he is not a good bird, he and Li Chengdong are both people who forget their righteousness, they were born and died with Li Zicheng, like brothers, friends and wives cannot be bullied, but he kidnapped Li Zicheng's wife, he can betray Li Zicheng, and one day he will definitely betray Lin Yi.
That is to say, these two people have low character and cannot be reused, and now Lin Yi's generals are like clouds, and there are many wise and brave people, like Zu Keyong, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong, etc., it is not that there are no generals, why should they be sent for the heavy task of luring the enemy?
Moreover, Li Yan and Gao Guiying also said that during this period of time, the two of them convened a military meeting, and Gao Jie did not come at all, he only lived in his own camp, and he was obviously detached. The reason why he came this time was probably because the Lord of the Prison Country was there, and he didn't dare not come.
Lin Yi nodded after hearing this, of course Lin Yi has a grasp of the past and present lives of Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie.
Lin Yi laughed after hearing this, "Jin is not enough, no one is perfect, don't mention the past, if the two of them can lure the enemy successfully this time, this prison country will still reward them, but if it is the opposite, it will definitely be severely punished." ”
Lin Yi said with a ruthless look on the corner of his mouth, and shouted to someone.
Ma Luan came in and said with a deep salute: "The Jinyi Guards have commanded Ma Luan to serve the Lord."
This person is Ma Shiying's son, because he has good skills, Lin Yi picked him out of the army and took him with him, and let him temporarily take charge of Jinyiwei.
After the establishment of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, Ma Shiying controlled the government, and his son Ma Luan was the role of Jinyiwei. It just so happened that there was a shortage of suitable candidates for Jinyiwei, so Lin Yi temporarily appointed him as the commander of Jinyiwei.
Lin Yi personally brought a special unit this time, this is the elite team of Jinyiwei, with the leader of Jinyiwei Ma Luan personally commanding, and 500 Jinyiwei are available for Lin Yi at any time.
Lin Yi must strengthen the information and intelligence system, not only to collect enemy information, but also to grasp the ideological dynamics of the military's Chinese martial arts.
When it comes to Jinyiwei, some people talk about the tiger's color change. But Lin Yi told them that as long as they were loyal, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and loyal to him, the Lord of the Prison Country, the factory guards would definitely be harmless to humans and animals.
Therefore, Lin Yi did not shy away from it at all, and said to Ma Luan in front of Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance: "Zuo Liangyu's camp and Gao Jie's camp will go out of the city tomorrow to lure the enemy, you send someone to take care of them."
"No." Ma Luan understood what Lin Yi meant, agreed, and withdrew after giving a salute.
Then Lin Yi brought in Zhang Hua, the leader of the pro-soldiers who was on duty outside.
"Zhang Hua serves your lordship."
"Call me the two commanders of the standard battalion and the invincible battalion."
"No." Zhang Hua agreed, saluted, and turned to go out.
There was not much time, and Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng came in to give a salute.
Zu Keyong is now the commander of the standard battalion and the commander of the Dongsheng Invincible Battalion, which is an elite brought out by Lin Yi in the Sanchakou guard.
Dongsheng is no longer a timid sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who was afraid of things, and he has also been trained by Lin Yi in the past few years, the young man is in his 20s, he is very brave in battle, and he is also very experienced, he has made many military exploits over the years, and has grown into a young general with great potential, otherwise Lin Yi would not have handed over the invincible battalion to him.
"Tomorrow, the Commander Zuo and the Tall Commander will go out of the city to lure the enemy, and if the elephant army in Burma appears, and the camel team will deal with them, your two battalions will also be ready to destroy the enemy, not tomorrow, but tonight."
"No." Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng looked at each other, and then the two took the order and left.
Now Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance have figured out Lin Yi's intentions, let the two of them lure the enemy, and that's not all, that's it, Lord Lin is cautious in using troops, can he not be guarded against such a general? Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lin Yi was not just on guard this time, because he had already read a little bit from Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie's eyes when they received the order, and his soldiers would take the initiative to invite them, Lin Yi had a useful intention in sending them alone, but there were some things that could only be understood, not spoken.
"If there is something to do tonight, the three of them will be in charge of the city defense."
"No." Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance spoke in unison, and Lin Yi's intentions were even more obvious.
After Zu Keyong and Dongsheng received the order, they immediately ordered the soldiers of the standard battalion and the invincible battalion not to leave their armor and horses not to unload their saddles tonight.
Of course, the two of them understand Lin Yi's intentions, it seems that there may be a major military operation tonight, and these two generals are also people with brains, who have followed Lin Yi for many years, and they must not ask more when they shouldn't ask, sometimes they can understand Lin Yi's meaning with a glance.
Gao Jie returned to his camp, the first time he had attended such a meeting since he had been incorporated into Gao Guiying's battle sequence.
It was really because Lin Yi personally presided over the meeting, and after receiving the order, he didn't dare not come, but he was indeed a little reluctant to give today's order, because he knew that Sun Kewang's people were too difficult to deal with.
Of course, Gao Jie knew the Great Western Army very well, and when he was a thief in his early years, under Li Zicheng, they cooperated with Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses, and also fought against them. Sun Kewang is one of the most difficult people to mess with under Zhang Xianzhong, and he is also the mainstay of the Onishi Group. Going out of the city to lure the enemy is no small feat.
Just after returning to the tent and sitting down, his generals Li Chengdong and Xu Dingguo came in.
These are his two henchmen, Xu Dingguo once served as a general soldier in Shanxi, and later served under He Long, when Sun Chuanting was ordered to kill Lin Yi and He Renlong, and designed to transfer the two people into the account in the name of a meeting to tie them up and kill.
People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, He Renlong didn't dare to resist, but Lin Yi was not a submissive person, so he made a big fuss in the military tent in a fit of rage, and saved He Renlong from the encirclement.
Since then, He Renlong has followed Lin Yi, but all the thousands of soldiers under He Renlong have been given to Gao Jie, including Xu Dingguoyu and Li Chengdong, all of whom have become Gao Jie's subordinates.
Especially Li Chengdong, he is also from Shaanxi like Gao Jie, and he was also a thief under Li Zicheng back then. Gao Jie kidnapped Li Zicheng's wife Xing, and Li Chengdong, as Gao Jie's iron buddy, also followed Gao Jie to betray Li Zicheng and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
"My lord, the prison country let us go out of the city to lure the enemy, I don't know what your lordship will do."
"Hey." Gao Jie sighed and asked the two of them what to do?
Li Chengdong said: "Please retreat."
Gao Jie waved his hand outside, and all the soldiers who were waiting for him withdrew.
Li Chengdong was still worried about going to the door of the account to take a look, and then returned to Gao Jie's side.
At this time, Xu Dingguo spoke first: "My lord, this time is not trivial, going out of the city to lure the enemy is definitely a life of death, and the surname Lin does not need to let his descendants use it, this is to let us be cannon fodder."
Li Chengdong also spoke, "Dingguo is right, my lord, my subordinates suspect that this matter is Gao Guiying, Li Yan and Song Xiance have slandered the Lord of the Prison State, these people are originally a thorn in our eyes, a thorn in the flesh, and we want to get rid of them quickly, in the opinion of our subordinates, the matter of luring the enemy tomorrow needs to be discussed again." ”
Gao Jie shook his head like a rattle, "Tingzhen, Dingguo, what you two said is reasonable, why doesn't Gao know?" However, it is the order of the Lord of the Prison Country to lure the enemy tomorrow, and if he does not go, he will be the target of the public. How? ”
Xu Dingguo relied on his courage and whispered: "My lord, why don't we surrender Sun Kewang, anyway, we can't make any name here, there are Gao Guiying's gang, and the Lord of the Prison Country believes them." In the next wish, he quietly went out of the city, and with his three-inch tongue, he saw Sun Kewang. If Sun Kewang can promise us, the inside and the outside should be combined, break through the city, capture and kill Lin together, the Qing monarch's side, and Kuang Fu Daming. ”
Xu Dingguo in history was a surrenderer, and at the beginning, he was an official in front of Chongzhen.
After Chongzhen hanged himself, the Qing army went south, and Xu Dingguo handed over his son to Duoduo, the prince of Yu, as a hostage and became a shameful traitor. set up a banquet to trap and kill Gao Jie, which made Shi Kefa beat his chest: "The Central Plains can't do anything, and the state affairs are all ruined by Xu thieves."
The current nature of Xu Dingguo's surrender has been exposed, and the fundamental reason is that he is afraid of death.
"No." Gao Jie shook his head, when it came to surrendering, he didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to take this step easily after all, this time to oppose Daming is completely different from the original anti-Li Zicheng, it is not a simple matter of abducting a woman and patting her ass and leaving.
At present, his battalion of soldiers and horses is only five or six thousand, how dare he openly fall out with the Ming Dynasty? Even Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo don't dare, she Gao Jie is not a fool, and she doesn't want to be this up-and-coming bird, if she can mix, she can't mix it anymore.
Therefore, Gao Jie pondered for a moment, "Sun Kewang is treacherous, and if he goes to the country, he will inevitably be regarded as a trick to surrender, not only will it not help, but he will also be victimized." ”
Xu Dingguo really didn't dare to say anything anymore when he heard this.
At this time, Li Chengdong spoke, and smiled wickedly, "Adults don't have to worry, a certain strategy." ”
"Tingzhen, will the plan be released?"
Tingzhen is Li Chengdong's trade name.
"My lord, who is Zuo Gongliangyu?"
Gao Jie looked at Li Chengdong, that inscrutable face.
Zuo Liangyu, of course Gao Jie knows it. Zuo Liangyu is stronger than him, and compared to Gao Jie and Li Chengdong, Zuo Liangyu is of course an old-timer.
worked as an errand under Yuan Chonghuan, and later Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong were both Chongzhen's favorite generals, and their official positions soared all the way, and they were the crown prince and the prince Ning Nanbo.
But this person was overwhelmed, arrogant and domineering, and later, like He Renlong, the mercenary was self-respecting and did not listen to the court, so Gao Jie knew that Zuo Liangyu was not treated by the court, and the high-ranking officials he got were all appeasement.
I saw Li Chengdong smile slyly, "My lord, at this critical time, my lord and Zuo Gong are connected with the same fate, why don't you discuss one or two with Zuo Gong?" ”
Gao Jie understood, and laughed, "Ting Zhen is reasonable," and shouted outside, "Come on, arrange a wine banquet, the more sumptuous the better, Gao Mou wants to invite Zuo Gong to drink bitterly tonight." ”
"No." The subordinates agreed to make arrangements.
