Section 153 Defeat the Eastern Xia first
The dawn shines over the city of Chenzhouzhou.
Li Jingsi withdrew his riding boots and eyes from the city tower, and sighed deeply. Chenzhou has fallen into chaos, many officials have begun to plan to abscond, and the Shangzhu States who have just returned to Chenzhou have also kept issuing various instructions to find out what their tribes are doing and whether they will listen to them.
After the first battle of Xilong, Li Jingsi faded out of everyone's sight, he was defeated in that battle, and remembered the man named Borg Abate.
All along, he didn't want to fight, he didn't want to live in Chenzhou, and he wanted to go back to his homeland. Ever since his boss surrendered, this qiē has become a luxury.
At that time, others were also defeated, covering up his defeat, and the defeat did not bring him much evil, but he changed from a military general to a patrol to picket the illegal nobles in the country. I don't know who gave him the name "Patrol", but this official position seems to have been created specifically for him. All his hatred can be expressed harshly, and those who rob the people, those nobles who collude with each other and run amok lawlessly, even if they have amulets and can't move themselves, they will be frightened. In the past few years, all the things that have passed by are open guns and hidden arrows. Once, in the middle of the night, an ambush was arranged to shoot arrows at him, and several of the guards were shot like hedgehogs, and if he had not married Tuoba Qizig, many people would have been afraid of it, and they might have disappeared quietly.
In the past few years, he has been in private contact with the thirteen yamen of the Jingkang court, but at this moment, he decided to cut off the contact.
Not for anything else.
The Tuoba clan is at the end of its rope.
Tuoba Weiwei treats him well, and all along, others are in Chen, and his heart is in Yong, and he can't stand the monarch and his wife, at this moment, thinking of the coming defeat, there are always people to accompany his father-in-law and wife.
Although he no longer led his troops into battle, according to the custom of the nomads, he still had soldiers in his hands, some of them were his old men, some of them were Baya brought by Qizig from his home, and some of them were Yong and slaves that he had collected. He kept the number of troops at about 2,000 and absorbed the characteristics of the Tuoba Department and Jingkangguo's military training, and never slackened for a moment.
But over the years, the relationship between husband and wife, Tuoba Weiwei's love, finally softened him.
Now, these two thousand soldiers and horses trained by one hand, the most powerful soldiers and horses he had ever seen, gave him great confidence.
It is only after suffering and experiencing great changes that people gather together great faith.
On the contrary, the method of training troops is secondary, and it is more about faith.
Only when people have faith will they use unthinkable means.
He wants to use 2,000 soldiers to fight back, or even kill thousands of miles back to Jingkang, these 2,000 people must be strong-willed people, must be skilled in killing, must be skilled in horsemanship, and must be people who have no hesitation...... As he walked, a barracks that belonged to him opened up in front of him, and at the first rays of dawn, the bareback sergeants stood in a row, although the trousers were different, but they were all black trouser belts.
The comrades in the back carried cold buckets of water, pouring them on their heads, and they didn't move, only their eyelids and muscles were beating because of the extreme cold......
Now that it's getting hotter, it's a big deal.
But in the cold winter, they are also trained in this way, their eyes are calm, their muscles are even and bulging, and they are full of explosive power.
Standing in front of the man who was soaking wet and standing like iron, Li Jingsi's heart fluctuated.
Originally, he wanted to fight back, but now that the matter came to him, he knew that he and the Tuoba clan had long been separated, and he changed his mind, and he wanted to use the army in front of him to defend his father-in-law, his wife and children. He suddenly felt out a piece of copper lump, this is the Jingkang official seal he kept, no matter how bad the situation is, he has always kept it by himself, and he has always felt that no matter how much he has achieved in the Tuoba clan, how big an official position he holds, this copper seal is not as important as this copper seal in his mind.
Today, he took out the bronze seal, as if he had made up his mind, and turned around and threw it into the water tank beside him.
Turning around and walking in the direction of Chen Guo's palace, a person from the Thirteen Yamen came to contact him with a monkey's sleeve robe.
Li Jingsi sent the guards away, stood quietly in front of him, waited for him, and when he stretched his body and became a strong and tense man, instead of the man who walked on his arms and monkey sleeves, he looked at him and said, "Ma Yang." Let's go. Don't come to me again. The state of Chen is already doomed. I don't want to help you with anything more. The king of Khan has been kind to me, and his wife has been very fond of me, and from now on, I will cut off a qiē and fight for them. ”
He gently flicked the spy named Ma Yang with his hand, and wanted to stride over, but Ma Yang refused to let him, and sneered, "Can you still stop?" ”
Li Jingsi turned his head to look at him.
Ma Yang chuckled twice and continued: "You know what you have done. Do you think I can't sue the people of the Takuba clan? Sue them, you won't survive a day. You help the court well, after the war is over, I will play the court myself, maybe it is not necessary to keep your wife and children. ”
Li Jingsi was stunned for a moment.
Ma Yang smiled proudly and said, "No matter how good the old chief's daughter is, is it worth your future and life?" You are a guilty person, what about after Chen Zhou is recovered? Have you never thought about it? ”
Li Jingsi smiled faintly.
Ma Yang was relieved and whispered, "I know you can't refuse." If you weren't afraid of death, you'd have died long ago, and you wouldn't have to stand in front of you. Listen. Next, the imperial court will slow down the offensive, and if nothing else, the Tangut people will enter the city first, and then arrange for you to surrender to the Tangxia. Once they don't leave, you will be the inner ...... of the imperial court" As soon as he arrived at this point, his body shook suddenly, and he looked at Li Jingsi with blood on his hands in disbelief.
Li Jingsi said lightly: "What you judged is all wrong. I've been a dead man for a long time. If I'm afraid of death, will I still let the patrol do not do well and collude with you? With the heart of a villain, it is too ridiculous to blackmail your husband, killing you is also getting rid of a poisonous snake for the court. ”
Ma Yang spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Li Jingsi's entire face suddenly became a red flower.
Still in disbelief, he asked, "Why?" Why is that? ”
Li Jingsi sighed and said: "I have always been for the court, and this time for myself." My father-in-law is a hero, my wife is a weak person, do you think everyone else is just as hard-hearted? Kill you. Cut off the past. It's a new beginning for me. I have done everything that should be done for the court, and I just want them to live. ”
He gently pushed Ma Yang in the face.
Mayan fell on his back like a severed piece of wood.
There are already people on the street, and those who are close will run away with a scream. The guards gathered over and handed Li Jingsi a piece of cloth, hoping that he could wipe his face. Li Jingsi refused to answer, and strode forward, a pair of eyes gradually staring at each other, as if there were two white lights hidden in them.
In Chen Guo's palace, there was a dispute early in the morning.
Li Jingsi broke through the guards, handed in his weapons, strode up, walked up the steps, the two doors of the Taiji Hall were already open, and he could see the figure of Tuoba Towering Seat, he was killing from east to west, and the injuries on his body had not improved, but sitting there, he was not moving like a bell, his eyes were like torches, and there was no panic about the soldiers coming to the city.
Li Jingsi knew that they had marched west many times, but they were blocked by people in Gulang, and the guards of Gulang did not know where to come out of a young man, who was well arranged, not at all like an untrained civilian army. Gu Lang can't fight it, and fleeing to the west is an empty word, if you can't retreat to the west, you can only go north. The Shangzhu people have no idea, they must pass through the desert and escape.
Tuoba Weiwei did not express his opinion easily, but Li Jingsi knew that Tuoba Weiwei's heart, he had to defeat Dongxia first before leaving.
Is it easy to march in the desert?
Military rations, livestock, and water are indispensable, and once they are settled now, as soon as the people go out, they will go to burn the people and prepare the supplies for crossing the desert.
This kind of root-breaking business, Tuoba Weiwei refuses to do.
He could give up Chenzhou, but he said that he would come back sooner or later, how could he kill all the people and escape with food and water?
What's more, he still has concerns, the country of Eastern Xia has a large number of cavalry, once it goes north, Eastern Xia will definitely mobilize a large number of cavalry to intercept and kill them on the edge of the desert.
People have just come out of the desert, how can they fight the elite of the enemy?
Once they can't beat it, they will run away, and people and livestock will not be able to escape when they run out of energy. At this time, only by rising up and defeating the Eastern Xia, prompting the Eastern Xia to negotiate peace, or forcing them to mobilize a large number of cavalry into Chen, otherwise fleeing north is doomed to a dead end.
The crowd was already arguing about it.
Tuoba Weiwei was about to make a statement, Li Jingsi stepped in and shouted: "The last general thinks that if you want to go north, you will first defeat the Eastern Xia, and the Khan King has forgotten the last general?" Since the defeat at the hands of Bog Abate, the last general has trained more than 2,000 troops, and asked the king of Khan to give the last general a chance to take the head of Dia Bird's neck. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Tuoba Weiwei knew that he was speaking for himself, indicating that this was an attitude, and with his expression, it was always a temptation for everyone, and with this temptation, he could not use a high-pressure attitude to force everyone in this chaotic time.
He nodded with satisfaction and asked everyone in the hall, "What do you think?" ”
Li Jingsi felt that it was not enough, and strode forward, a red flower bloomed on his face, and now it has dried up for the most part, which makes people feel even more hideous, he went straight into the main hall, it is ten thousand households, Shangzhu Kingdom, he also stared at the face, and pushed people back, only then did he turn back as if he had an event venue, and said loudly: "Jingkang and Dongxia have contradictions, Jingkang's offensive has slowed down, and the gap is revealed, it is the time for us to dispatch soldiers and gather strength to defeat the Dongxia army in one fell swoop." There are not many troops in Chen, if they catch Dia Bird, why can't our Chen State turn defeat into victory? ”
Tuoba waved his hand and suppressed the voices of everyone, the voice was not fast or slow, faint.
He whispered, "If the king remembers well." It was the first time that Jing Si had come forward to talk about military affairs. Jing Si. In times of trouble, you stood on the side of the Tuoba clan, and the king was very happy, and all along, the king thought that you had the talent of a great general, and forced you to exert your strength, but you refused, and at the last moment, you stood up, which is very good. This king agrees with you. ”
