Chapter 183: Run, Run, Who's Afraid of Whom
In order to make a great achievement, Su Jiakang did not hesitate at all, nor did he put his mind on his dissatisfaction with Diao Leixun, but immediately replied to Diao Leixun, in the letter, he painfully stated the pros and cons, and asked Diao Leixun to be sure to entangle the main force of the puppet Tang thief army, and he could rush over to reinforce Diao Leixun in a few hours.
At the same time, in order to let Diao Leixun work harder and contribute to his own achievements, Su Jiakang did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Diao Leixun in the letter, but praised him in his words.
After receiving Su Jiakang's letter, Diao Leixun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he didn't chase the baggage team of the puppet Tang thief army just now, otherwise it would be troublesome, because Su Jiakang asked him to pursue the main force of the puppet Tang thief army.
If Su Jiakang knew what he was thinking at this time, it was estimated that he would be directly chopped with a knife, you sent me a multiple-choice question, what else can Lao Tzu let you do besides letting you continue to chase the main force of the pseudo-Tang thief army, and you don't need to think about it!
He Diao Leixun, a hereditary military general who has not read much, naturally it is impossible for him to have many twists and turns in his mind with a scholar like Su Jiakang.
Seeing that Su Jiakang did not blame him in the letter, but encouraged him to continue to fight loyally, he thought that his own request was appreciated by Su Jiakang.
Diao Leixun, who didn't know the specific thoughts of Su Jiakang in the rear, led people to chase after Li Xuan and the others.
His idea is much simpler than Su Jiakang's: if the main force of the puppet Tang thief army can be left or even wiped out, then a great credit will not be able to escape.
Su Jiakang's expectation is that after severely destroying or even completely annihilating the main force of the puppet Tang Dynasty thief army, then it will be equivalent to abolishing the force of the puppet Tang Dynasty, and it will not be easy to completely exterminate the puppet Tang Dynasty and capture the puppet emperor Li Xuan.
What Su Jiakang wants is to completely exterminate the puppet Tang Dynasty and take over the great work of counterinsurgency, while Diao Leixun thinks of victory on the battlefield.
Although the plans of these two people are not exactly the same, they are always on the same path, and they both hope to leave the main force of the puppet Tang thief army behind.
Diao Leixun looked at the sky, the sky was gloomy at this time, and it looked as if it would rain at any time, but if there were local old people who knew that the weather in the mountains was very strange, especially in summer, it was unpredictable.
Diao Leixun looked up at the sky not to see if it would rain, he was estimating how long it would be until it got dark, and now looking at the situation, there should be at least two hours before it gets completely dark.
You must catch up with each other in these two hours, and then entangle each other through actual engagement!
Otherwise, when it gets completely dark, it's not certain where the other party will go!
"Pass the order, let the striker catch up, and then try to hit it!" After hesitating for most of the day, Diao Leixun finally issued the first specific combat order.
The front as the vanguard is two hundred households, led by a deputy thousand households, the total strength of about one hundred and twenty people, after getting the order of Diao Lei Xun in the back, the deputy thousand households who are about fifty years old scolded in a voice that others can't hear: "Damn, I know that let's go to death, he himself is hiding behind!" ”
Looking at his expression, you can know that he is very dissatisfied with Diao Leixun!
Can this be dissatisfied, last year, he Ying Tianhu and Diao Leixun were still the same deputy Qianhu, and his qualifications were deeper than Diao Leixun, originally after Zeng Ziwen was defeated and captured, according to the convention, if the imperial court did not parachute a thousand households over, but was promoted from the Tong'an Thousand Households, it should be him Ying Tianhu who became a Tong'an Qianhu.
However, that Diao Leixun took away this thousand households by hugging Su Jiakang's thighs and relying on Su Jiakang's influence.
Now seeing Diao Leixun looking greedy for life and afraid of death in the back, but let himself lead the forward to rush up to fight, Ying Tianhu is quite unhappy.
But the military order is like a mountain, even if Ying Tianhu is dissatisfied in his heart, he still doesn't dare to openly disobey the order.
Immediately, he also stepped forward with the two hundred households to which he belonged!
In fact, at this time, the distance between the forward led by him and the bandits of Huangzhushan was already very close, and the straight-line distance between the two sides was only seven or eight hundred meters, and this distance was basically the distance between the two charges.
However, for the cold weapon army, just the distance of seven or eight hundred meters is enough for the two sides to have a considerable amount of buffer time.
So Li Xuan in front of them didn't take the Ming army chasing soldiers behind them to heart, if you want to chase, you can chase, and I won't stop you, but if I want to run, you can't stop it.
It's a big deal that the two sides will compete for leg strength!
In terms of the kung fu of escaping, he Li Xuan is still very careful!
In a head-to-head duel, he may still be afraid of the large number of Ming troops, but when it comes to running away, just run, who is afraid of whom!
The bandits in Huangzhushan ignored the pursuers behind them, and walked all the way towards the mountain with their own stuffy heads, making Ying Tianhu behind him also depressed.
These pseudo-Tang thieves in front of them were also too slippery, they had just quickened their pace, trying to shorten the distance of seven or eight hundred meters to catch up, and those pseudo-Tang thieves in front of them were trotting in unison.
When Ying Tianfu and the others were out of breath and slowed down, the pseudo-Tang thief army in front also slowed down.
When they were too tired to walk in Ying Tianfu and gave up the pursuit and stopped, those god-killing pseudo-Tang thief troops actually stopped to eat dry food and drink water.
In short, the Ming army chased fast, they fled fast, the Ming army chased slowly, they fled slowly, the Ming army did not chase, and they did not leave.
These fell in the eyes of Ying Tianhu, and it became as if these pseudo-Tang thieves were deliberately playing tricks on them.
However, this is really not the bandits of Huangzhushan teasing him, but a helpless move.
Ying Tianhu and they were tired of chasing, and Li Xuan, who ran away in front, was also as tired as dogs, in order to maintain their physical strength, they would naturally stop and rest for a while when the chasing soldiers were not in such a hurry.
Along the way, the horses that Li Xuan was originally riding were tired and panting, and they couldn't carry Li Xuan to continue to move forward quickly, but soon someone led another horse that had preserved good physical strength to Li Xuan and asked Li Xuan to change horses.
In addition to Li Xuan's ability to change horses and ride, there is no one else in the Tang Dynasty who has this treatment, and it can even be said that except for Li Xuan, there is no second person who can ride a horse to hurry, even if it is Qian Mengjiu, he can only ride a donkey!
After all, horses are very valuable in the Tang Dynasty, most of the horses are in the army, and these thin and weak horses used as military horses are not very good.
Therefore, when marching every day, whether it was Wang Danxu and other officers of the musket team or the thirteen cavalrymen, they actually led their horses and did not ride horses at all.
But Li Xuan is an emperor anyway, so he naturally has the treatment that others don't have, even if he's a bit of an 'emperor', but no matter what, he is also a decent emperor.
Li Xuan is currently in the land of Kyushu, in addition to the emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, the second emperor who ascended the throne and is still alive.
Even among the many names given to him by the local government of the Ming Dynasty, there are Li Reverse and Li Thief, but occasionally such a word "Pseudo-Emperor Li Xuan" is used.
Just such a title is enough to make countless rebels throughout the ages look forward to it, many of them have rebelled all their lives, played for decades until they played themselves to death, and they have not been able to mix up the honorary title of 'puppet emperor'.
As for Li Xuan, there is no need to work so hard at all, the Ming Dynasty awarded him the honorary title of 'puppet emperor'.
From coming to this world to ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, Li Xuan only used a few days of effort, and he ascended the throne and became the emperor on the way to escape.
It is useless for him to accumulate grain and claim the title of king, because he has skipped the king and directly called the emperor!
In contrast, Zhu Chongba seems to be a little out of the flow, this cowherd baby had to be careful when he wanted to be a king, let alone an emperor.
How can the father and son of the Li family be so free and easy, when the father has a dream, he will be called the emperor, and when the son wakes up, he is also confused, and he is put on a dragon robe and shouts long live.
From ancient times to the present, it is estimated that there is no rebel as neat and neat as their father and son!
Since the Ming Dynasty has recognized his identity as a puppet emperor, to a certain extent, Li Xuan's status and status can barely go hand in hand with Zhengde Lao'er, after all, Li Xuan is a puppet emperor in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhengde Lao'er is still a puppet emperor in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty. They are all pseudo-emperors, and no one is much stronger than the other!
And although the strength of the two of them is huge, but they are both monarchs of the same country, how can their dignity be distinguished by the size of the country and the number of people, everyone is an emperor, and no one is more noble than the other!
Based on the above, Li Xuan is fully qualified to ride a horse on the march, and he also rides on two horses in wheels, so he doesn't have to walk like Wang Danxu and the others.
However, even if there are horses to travel, it is quite tiring to ride a horse all day, especially the inner thighs will sting and even wear out the skin because of the friction when riding, so when the Ming army behind him stopped, Li Xuan also got off the horse and rested.
At this time, Qian Mengjiu also walked to Li Xuan's side, and said while handing Li Xuan a bamboo kettle: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the ministers, those Ming army pursuers will not give up easily, if they continue to chase like this, I am afraid they will be able to chase us all the way to the mountains!" ”
Li Xuan nodded slightly: "This is indeed a trouble, and it's not a matter to let them chase after it all the time!" ”
At this time, Butcher Chen also came up: "Your Majesty, why don't we kill one of them?" ”
