Chapter 660: Responses from all sides
The dullness before a decisive battle, even in this howling cold wind in the north, cannot be diluted and resolved, although this cold season is not the season of battle at all.
Du Wenhuan, who was looking down at the map and meditating hard to break the enemy, suddenly raised his head and looked left and right, "What sound?" ”
A pro-soldier was a little careful, and immediately stepped forward, knelt on one leg and reported: "Commander Qiqi, it's the outpost that called the police." ”
Du Wenhuan was stunned for a moment, he actually thought of attacking the army for a long time, but he didn't expect the army to attack so quickly, according to common sense, before a big war, it was the constant fighting of the patrol posts, and the fight until everyone understood each other, and everyone was tired of this kind of fighting, and then everyone set up a dignified formation, and the three armies were opposed, and they decided to live and die.
Of course, this is just a kind of ceremonial battle formation close to the Spring and Autumn Period followed by literati doctors or ordinary military generals at that time, in fact, after the Warring States period, where is there any dignified array?
But in any case, this is not something that a commander in command of an army of tens of thousands should do in a hurry.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't get out of here and probe again." Du Wenhuan is still lucky. After all, an attack on one side is at least a major move, and now I hear that the drums of war are endless from far to near, but it is exactly what the enemy is attacking.
Before the pro-soldier who came in to report withdrew, another small colonel rushed in directly, this kind of behavior was absolutely intolerable to Du Wenhuan, the general soldier of a town.
"Trespassing on the tent should be a capital offense." Du Wenhuan dropped the paintbrush in his hand and shouted with a gloomy face. With a shout: "Come on, pull this damn guy out and cut it down." "Military discipline is there, where is it still slack?
Don't ask why, nothing is more important than maintaining the prestige of a general town.
When the colonel heard this, he shouted: "Commander's life, I have an urgent military report, Commander's town." ”
"Slow down, let him speak." Li Yingqi sat on the top and had been pointing out the position of the country, at this time, he suddenly saw that Du Wenhuan's actions were not in accordance with the old rules and asked for instructions, so he was naturally a little dissatisfied, so he stopped Du Wenhuan's recklessness according to the instinct of showing his own existence, out of the habit of civil officials, in fact, this is an accident is also inevitable in accidents, civil officials are noble, military generals are lowly, this is a habit, but the civil officials' fingers and feet have decided the course of a big war this time, even if it is a thousand mistakes, but, this time, right.
Du Wenhuan is of high grade, but in front of the governor, it is also inferior by three points, in fact, he should also be happy, because just three years later, after Chongzhen implements the governor system, the status of the martial artist will not be as good as that of pigs and dogs.
When Du Wenhuan heard that Li Yingqi had stopped his military order, he didn't dare to be angry, and scolded the colonel who couldn't stop kowtowing to Li Yingzhi and weeping in gratitude: "Why don't you say anything?" ”
"Headquarters, the thief has crossed the river with the men and horses."
"A thief, what's all the fuss?" Du Wenhuan said casually.
"What?" Suddenly I felt the crux of the matter.
"You mean, the Thief Chieftain rushed into our great array through the Celestial Star?" That's good news, really good news.
When this news reached the ears of Li Yingqi and Du Wenhuan, the news couldn't be believed.
"Bastard, probe the payoff again."
Du Wenhuan sent the guards without raising his head, still looking at the map in front of him.
The enemy situation and the map in front of him really made me at a loss, at this time, I really saw my ability, saw in the complicated news, and found the information I needed most, at that time, it was my own ability.
At the same time, the war has been handed over to this time, and the time has come to really test yourself, you have gone through hardships, and at the same time, you have gone through a hundred battles, and it is impossible, and you cannot, let your prestige be discarded here.
At that time, the news of this soldier = was still ignored as a matter of course, but the arrival of He Renlong broke this decision.
"Good news, great news." He Renlong lost his usual calmness, hurriedly rushed into Du Wenchang's big tent, and shouted at Governor Li Yingzhi and General Soldier Du Wenchang, who were not aware of the situation outside.
"What kind of system? (What good news)" Li Yingzhi and Du Wenchang inquired together.
He Renlong didn't care about the etiquette, and shouted loudly: "The thief chief has crossed the stars and single-handedly entered the heavy joint camp of our army." ”
Hearing this, Li Yingqi's expression changed greatly. Du Wenchang stood up suddenly, and stared at He Renlong with his eyes.
"What did you say?" Li Yingzhi asked in a trembling voice. Du Wenchang shouted excitedly.
"Yes, it was the Star Thief Chief, single-handedly, who rushed into our joint camp."
Li Yingqi sat down suddenly, and suddenly lost no strength in his body. Du Wenchang shouted with excited arms: "God bless the Ming Dynasty, the Holy Lord has appeared." Shouting, it was already sad tears.
"My lord, what should I do next, please always calm down." He Renlong didn't have a chance to thank the Holy Lord of God, his heart had flown to the front line, and he couldn't miss the opportunity to come again, this is a golden opportunity to defeat the thief, turn the tide of the war in Shaanxi, and achieve his own achievements for all generations, but he can't let it go no matter what.
Although on the way to ask for his life, he already had an absolutely foolproof plan, but without an order to send troops, even if he got a great merit, it was a place to die, so he still rushed to ask for his life, but, in fact, when he came, he had already sent his reorganized seven thousand descendants to the battlefield, and in a hurry, he showed his quality and ability as a general, decisively divided his troops, and ordered a department to surround and annihilate the reckless man of Tianxing no matter what, the sooner the better, three thousand to one, Even if the king of heaven descends to earth, it is only a moment. The second part is to directly insert the reinforcements along the Wei River to block the rescue of the thieves.
According to Qian Zhongjun's analysis, it may also eliminate hidden dangers for the thieves in the future, but, for now, killing Tianxing will be a devastating blow to the morale of the thieves.
Qian Zhongjun's death, he also received a report at that time, but although Qian Junshi was talented, it was only a trivial matter compared to killing Tianxing.
"Trapped in the stars. At all costs, kill him. Du Wenchang exuded a rare murderous aura, glared at He Renlong, and shouted loudly at the general who was full of tents.
"Yes." The tent will shout excitedly.
"Dispatch He Renlong's most elite troops, divide them into one unit, and immediately rush to the banks of the Wei River, and stop the thief rescue team at all costs."
"Yes." This is the quality of a famous general, everything has a tacit understanding.
Regardless of He Renlong, who ran out without a salute, Du Wenchang shouted loudly to the generals who were full of desire to rob while the fire was in his eyes: "The whole army listens to the order." ”
All the generals stepped forward together with high morale and listened to the order.
"The whole team, the whole army is dispatched, and the stars are annihilated."
"Yes." The generals agreed.
Li Yingqi, who was left out in the cold, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly to the generals who were about to go out to attack: "No matter who has killed Tianxing, I will play the emperor, reward ten thousand gold, and promote the official to the fifth level." ”
It's an incentive, and at the same time, it's a performance, to realize your existence.
Now, although the incident started suddenly, but Du Wen changed a military general without consulting with himself, and acted arbitrarily without asking for his own opinion, Li Yingqi, who was a civilian official, was furious in his heart, this is not a trivial matter, this is a great merit, in the two governments joined forces, in front of everyone's eyes, it was unbearable to put aside himself.
But Li Yingzhi was not stupid enough to completely overthrow Du Wen, who governed the army, in exchange for stirring up the situation, he just jumped out to seal the official and make a wish, so that these pickled men always know that grace comes from above, grace comes out of civil officials, don't get too carried away.
As soon as this decision came out, Du Wenchang immediately rushed to look at Li Yingqi, but he also saw Li Yingqi looking at him, one look vicious, and the other cringe.
Li Yingzhi didn't care about Du Wenchang, and turned his face to Zhang Yuan, who was still sad about the death of his ally Qian Tong, and said, "Lord Zhang." ”
For Zhang Yuan, this is more worthy of his own grief than the death of his father, he is a lowly businessman, in order to repay his father and son, he almost poured out his family wealth, but after the experts' painstaking planning, it is that the thieves are getting stronger and stronger, but they are defeating again and again, and the future is bleak.
God is pitiful, give yourself a Qian Zhongjun, finally have an arm at the top, have a backer, not to mention, that Mr. Qian is full of wisdom and really plans for himself, seeing that the Zhang family is in his own hands, with the support of Mr. Qian, he will soar and prosper, and he will glorify his ancestors, but Mr. Qian died in battle, the building collapsed, and the future was cut off, this is Zhang Yuan's mood now.
"Master Zhang." Li Yingzhi called Zhang Yuan, seeing that his eyes were in a daze, he was depressed, he didn't hear his own shout at all, and he was not angry but happy at that time.
Just now, seeing that Du Wen changed his military achievements, he ignored himself, the dignified governor, and gave orders to guide the country, so that Li Yingqi suddenly realized that now, it is the end of the world, and wars have been generated in various places, a literati, no matter how full of splendid articles, can not resist the fist of a reckless man, the story of the last days of the Han and Tang dynasties will be repeated, at this time, a strong force in hand, is an absolute dependence.
And at this time, what he can rely on is the Zhang family in front of him. Yes, it's the Zhang family.
At this time, the Zhang family, losing Qian Tong, is equivalent to losing the support of the trilateral governors, and has become a lonely ghost. To be a military town at the end of the Han and Tang dynasties, he didn't have that ambition, and he didn't have that opportunity in the Ming Dynasty, but with a military force in hand, he could at least temporarily compete with Du Wenchang, the general soldier who began to alienate from him.
"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang." Li Yingzhi shouted twice, Zhang Yuan woke up from his confusion, and saw that it was the governor who called, so he quickly stood up and saluted in fear: "My lord, just now the last general was sad for the death of Qian Zhongjun, and I didn't hear the adult's inquiry, please atone for your sins." The end will be damned, damned. ”
