Chapter 307: Heavy Responsibilities Entrusted to Each Other
The long blow to the water, the iron wheel turned, and the warship went against the wind.
Two days later, the warship arrived at the port outside Qinzhou City, and then sent Luo Cong to personally deliver the news to Yongzhou City.
The rest of the men and horses were waiting in the harbor, and no one was allowed to leave the harbor, let alone outsiders were allowed to approach the warship.
In the letter sent by He Jianjun, in addition to telling Yang Congyi the mission of Xuanwei Army, he also clearly informed Yongzhou and even Guangnan, that all the state governance places have Li Yue's spies lurking, so they asked for strict secrecy.
A day later, He Jianjun, who was far away in Yongzhou, received a secret report from Xuanwei Jun in person: Prince Li Yue had been captured and was now in Qinzhou.
He Jianjun was extremely surprised, and said six hellos on the spot, and spoke incoherently excitedly, this is a great achievement, the official's requirements for the war in Guangnan have finally been completed!
He immediately wrote a letter and sent twenty guards to return to Qinzhou with Luo Cong. At the same time, a lacquer-sealed war report was urgently delivered to Lin'an after traveling 800 miles a day.
Luo Cong rushed back to the port of Qinzhou with the accompanying forbidden army day and night, Yang Congyi read the letter of He Jianjun, and immediately ordered Luo Cong to rush to Guangzhou with the warship, from Guangzhou by land, be sure to send people back to Lin'an within a month, in order to ensure safety, He Jianjun's escort forbidden army and Zhang Liu moved with the ship.
After a little addition, Luo Cong took a hundred Xuanwei troops to the south by boat, bypassing Leizhou and entering Guangzhou, abandoning the ship and landing ashore, along the post road, and running to Lin'an at full speed.
After the warship left, Yang Congyi took the remaining Xuanwei army into Qinzhou City to settle and rest, while he borrowed a few horses from Zhizhou Moltke and went straight to Yongzhou in the north with a few personal soldiers.
As soon as he arrived at the Yongzhou Prefecture Government, after the report, Yang Congyi was taken into a remote courtyard in the inner courtyard of the State Government, which was the temporary residence of He Jianjun in Yongzhou.
As soon as He Jianjun saw Yang Congyi, he immediately praised and said: "Yang Jianjun, although you and I are both prisoners, you are in charge of 4,000 people, and I am in charge of 40,000 people, the number is ten times that of you, but you are not as heroic as you, and you have won several military exploits, which really makes the old man envious." It is not uncommon to have such achievements at such a young age, and in time, become a pillar of the country! ”
Yang Congyi hurriedly thanked him: "Adults have won awards, and small fights are all up to luck." "This high hat is buttoned up, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, I really don't know the bottom of my heart.
He Jianjun said with a smile: "Yang Jianjun doesn't have to be too modest, the old man has been paying close attention to your deeds for a long time, whether it is luck or not, the old man can still judge clearly." Sit down and say. ”
"Master Xie." After the other party sat down, Yang Congyi then sat down.
After sitting down for tea, there was no one else in the room.
He Jianjun smiled: "I don't know if Yang Jianjun still remembers Lord Chen in Taihu County?" ”
Yang Congyi was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know what Lord He said, but Lord Chen, who was in Taihu County a few years ago and was later transferred to Anqing Army to serve as Zhijun?" ”
He Jianjun said: "Exactly. ”
Yang Congyi replied: "Lord Chen was kind to me when he was in Taihu County, and soon after he went to Anqing to take office, the imperial court rebuilt martial arts, and the lower officials were recommended by Lord Chen, so they entered the martial arts. I haven't seen you for three years, I don't know if Lord Chen is okay? ”
He Jianjun said with a smile: "Okay, Lord Chen has now been transferred to Hezhou, and he has been in office for more than a year, you have been at sea for a long time, so you don't know it." ”
Yang Congyi said: "Lord Chen's transfer to Zhizhou is really gratifying. Suddenly, he asked, "I don't know how Lord He knows about the relationship between Xia Guan and Lord Chen?" ”
He Jianjun said: "I am on the list with Master Chen, he is the eye, I am Tanhua, and I am a classmate, although I have not met for more than ten years, and there are occasional correspondence exchanges. A few years ago, when the martial arts school was restored, one day Guozijian came to the Privy Council with a letter of recommendation for martial arts admission, and I happened to see it, so I gave you an extra test, how do you say I know your relationship with Lord Chen? With a smile on his face.
It turned out that he was late and missed the entrance exam, but it was with the help of Lord He that he finally passed the additional test to enter the martial arts.
Yang Congyi immediately got up and thanked: "Thank you Lord He for your support that day, this kindness is in my heart!" ”
He Jianjun nodded and smiled: "The son can be taught." From escorting back to the I Ching to the South Seas to the West, and now to the three wars in Qinzhou, going deep into Li Yue to relieve the worries of the imperial court, it is not in vain to earn this opportunity for you. Sit down and say. ”
Yang Congyi sat down as he said, his heart was still fluctuating, since he was concerned by Lord He when he entered the martial arts school, then his every move in Lin'an may be under his surveillance, and it is unknown.
"I think that although you are a prisoner, you have the potential to be a general, if you temper more, over time, you will be a good talent in the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, you wait for Li Yue to get the sinner, this battle will be explained to the imperial court, but Li Yue's enemy army is still in Fusui has not retreated, just like the disease of the soles of the feet, although it is not fatal, but it is also uncomfortable to be tight, and the Guangnan soldiers will be useless, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Li Yue in a short time, if this battle is delayed for a year and a half, not only will the court be dragged tired, but the lost land will also become the land of Li Yueren, just like Guangyuan Prefecture a hundred years ago, although it is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, but the land lives are Li Yue people, and finally the court has to give it up. At present, it has been three months since this battle, and I still can't see the results, I am worried that if I delay for too long, the lost land will follow in the footsteps of Guangyuan Prefecture, so I have called you here this time, and I have a heavy responsibility to entrust me. After He Jianjun praised him, his expression changed and he got down to business.
Yang Congyi's heart is clear, there are so many relationships in front of him, and he wears a high hat, if there is something wrong, I am afraid it is still difficult to do. But as a subordinate, how can he have the right to refuse, I'm afraid he doesn't even have a choice.
So Zhengsheng replied: "My lord's order is, for the court, for the community, the lower officials should be broken bones!" ”
"Good. Then I will tell the truth, there has been some time in Yongzhou, and the soldiers and generals gathered here either can't avoid the battle and flee from the battle, or they shirk in every possible way, delaying the fighter plane, and even you led the Xuanwei army to go deep behind the enemy to destroy the enemy's military rations, most people didn't believe it, and sent people to investigate for more than ten days, and finally came to a result that could not be determined whether it was true or false. I suspect that many of them have something to do with Li Yueren, and have even been bought by Li Yueren to let them continue to fight, and I don't hold out any hope of winning. You have to fight this battle, otherwise Quang Nam will be in danger. He Jianjun had no choice but to say these words that shocked Yang Congyi.
In Ningming, hundreds of thousands of loads of military rations were destroyed, hundreds of ships were burned and sunk to the bottom of the river, as long as someone got there, these facts could be confirmed, why can't they be determined whether they are true or false? The Yongzhou defenders were really bought by Li Yueren? If this is the case, what can he do with more than 1,000 Xuanwei troops, how can he not beat Li Yue's tens of thousands of people.
"What do you mean to let the Xuanwei army come to Yongzhou and take the initiative to repel Li Yueren?" Yang Congyi is very weak-hearted.
"No, if you come to Yongzhou, all your actions will be blocked by them, and you still have to find a way to repel more than 50,000 Li Yue people outside Fusui City in Qinzhou or behind enemy lines." He Jianjun saw that he had a misunderstanding, and quickly explained it clearly.
There are 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers in Yongzhou, who can't defeat Li Yue's enemy army, and he doesn't want to fight, but he wants more than 1,000 people to repel the enemy army? Now most of the Xuanwei army is building a city in Jingzhou, and the Xuanwei army in the entire Qinzhou is only 500 people, how can this battle be fought? Yang Congyi was a little stunned.
Lord Ho wouldn't think it would be so easy to fight, would he? The Xuanwei army was able to eliminate more than 7,000 people three times, and it was all a well-designed ambush that took advantage of the time and place, and it really had to face the enemy head-on, not to mention the 2,000 Xuanwei army, even if he gave him 20,000, he couldn't beat 50,000 Li Yueren. But the words have already been spoken, how can they retreat.
"Xiaguan also had the intention to retreat from the enemy, so after eliminating the enemy army in Qinzhou, he made a detour to the north and attacked the enemy army to supply military rations. But adults don't know, this kind of sneak attack can not be repeated, and if you are afraid of it, it will fail, and if you don't get it, the whole army will be wiped out, not to mention that now there are more than 1,000 troops in Jingzhou, the hinterland of Li Yue, building a city for defense, it is difficult to withdraw, and all the troops that Qinzhou can use are only more than 500 people. Yang Congyi had to tell the inside story.
"Jingzhou can consider temporarily giving up the defense and transferring all the troops back to Qinzhou to standby, as far as I know, the Xuanwei Army still has 2,000 troops stationed in Anyuan City, you are the supervising army, and you are familiar with them, you can be transferred out and appointed, if you have any concerns, I will give you an order, and you will transfer troops according to the order."
"This is the best, when he was separated from Zhao Anbing, the commander of the Xuanwei Army, he was unwilling to go out of the city to retreat from the enemy, and blindly wanted to defend, if he was also in the army, he was afraid that there would be disagreements in wartime and delay the fighter." If Jingzhou gives up, give up, it is impossible to kill Shenglong City with that thousand troops, but he has great concerns about mobilizing the Xuanwei army in Anyuan City, Zhao An is the commander, half of the people have to listen to him, and if they start a war, once they can't be united, they will definitely be defeated.
"I can consider transferring Zhao An away, and the Xuanwei Army will be controlled by you alone for the time being, and it will be dispatched freely." After a little consideration, He Jianjun promised to solve Yang Congyi's concerns.
Less than 4,000 people, in the face of Li Yue's 50,000 army, there is still no chance of victory, the disparity between the two sides is too big, Yang Congyi thought about it, and said: "My lord, even if the Xuanwei army is all 4,000 people, the disadvantage in front of the enemy army is still very obvious, not the morale of the enemy, if the Yongzhou army does not coordinate the attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the desired result in this battle." ”
He Jianjun immediately replied: "Don't worry, the enemy army is strong, and the imperial court will naturally not let you support it alone." Within three days, 10,000 of the 10,000 Youyi army will march south to Qinzhou and act together with the Xuanwei army and fight in coordination. The Youyi army is the elite of the forbidden army, and Li Geng, who is in charge of the army, has been in battle for a long time, and has rich experience in battle, and the two armies will be able to do something when they are united. But you don't have to worry about the right to command the army, although Li Geng is older than you and has more seniority in the army than you, but after the two armies meet, the Xuanwei Army is still under your independent command, in addition, you can also participate in the command and dispatch of the Youyi Army, as for how to fight against the enemy, it is up to you and the two of you to agree. ”
When Yang Congyi heard that there were 10,000 elites in front of the palace, his heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
The armies of the palace front division are all forbidden army establishments, and the elite are selected from the local armies of the Great Song Dynasty every year to supplement them, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and it is not in vain.
