Ma Wensheng didn't pick and choose, but this time he was really sick, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang confirmed this after going to Mafu to see it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, they are in their seventies, and their bodies are not as good as before, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang are in their fifties and are "in their prime", and now they feel that their bodies are unbearable, let alone a dying old man like Ma Wensheng?

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang came out of the Ma Mansion and went directly back to Wenyuan Pavilion to see Liu Jian, explaining the details of the situation, Liu Jian asked: "Who does Ma Shangshu want to come out to preside over the military and politics?" ”

Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang and nodded lightly: "Xiong Shilang!" ”

Liu Jian hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed lightly: "Now that Liu Shangshu is still stranded in Taiyuan Town, he can't lead the troops back to Beijing, Xiong Shilang is the best candidate, and he immediately sent an order......

"Wait!"

Xie Qian raised his hand to interrupt Liu Jian's words, "Young Master Liu, you really don't need to ask Your Majesty or the crown prince now?" ”

Liu Jian said: "Extraordinary measures should be used in extraordinary times, if this matter is delayed indefinitely, Gyeonggi defense will fall into chaos, and it will only be the dawn of the people in the world who will suffer, so let's decide!" Immediately send Xiong Shilang of the military department to enter the palace and enter Wenyuan Pavilion to participate in the important affairs of the military aircraft! ”

It is said that Xiong Xiu is in charge of military politics, but in fact, he is only "participating in the important affairs of the military aircraft", not the person who is actually in power, this is also where Liu Jian is smart, let Xiong Xiu take on major things, and the actual decision-makers are actually the cabinet three, so that everyone has the credit to share, and if there is a mistake, all the responsibility will be put on Xiong Xiu.

Xiong Xiu has been in the sea for a long time, extremely shrewd, at this time the Tatars have begun to attack the city, and the attack on Xizhimen is extremely fierce, Xiong Xiu does not want to be ordered at this critical juncture, because no matter how you look at it, this position is not easy to bear, the prince Zhu Houzhao was set aside is a lesson from the past, and this move may not necessarily offend the emperor, it is purely thankless.

Xiong Xiu is in the west of the city in the Fucheng Gate of the White Pagoda Temple to supervise military affairs, at this time the Xizhimen line fierce battle is in full swing, the first siege of Tatar soldiers and horses is on a grand scale, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are dispatched, the siege equipment is readily available, effortlessly set up a pontoon bridge on the moat, and then push the rushing car, the ladder to attack the city.

The Tartar soldiers were extremely brave, and they killed the city several times, but they were driven down by Gao Hong, the deputy commander-in-chief who was responsible for guarding the city gates.

Hearing that he was transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion to "participate in the important affairs of the military aircraft", Xiong Xiu knew that this was not a good thing, and when several guards collected the Xizhimen battle report, Xiong Xiu was even more worried when he saw it.

Hong She, a guerrilla general in charge of the overall defense of Fuchengmen and Xizhimen, stepped forward and saluted: "Xiong Shilang, there is a general stationed here, you can rest assured to enter the palace to discuss military aircraft." Ben will assure you that during your absence, Xizhimen will never lose an inch of land! ”

Xiong Xiu patted Hong She's shoulder when he heard this, and said, "Then General Hong, everything here is up to you!" After saying that, Xiong Xiu walked out of the temple gate and hurried to the palace on horseback.

After a brief discussion with the generals, Hong Shi immediately led people to reinforce Xizhimen.

Just after Chaotian Palace, I heard the shouting of killing in front of the earth-shattering, and a Hongfu family Ding stepped forward to play: "My lord, the Tartars are brave, their siege equipment is sufficient, and they don't need much effort to climb the city, although our army has driven the Tartars down the city several times, but the hoarded wood, falling stones, fierce fire oil, gold fire pots, etc. are almost smashed, but there are no reinforcements coming in the follow-up, and Xizhimen may not be able to defend it!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Hong Shi was furious: "Don't disturb the morale of the army, the Tartars are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they want to enter the city as soon as they launch the siege?" If they are really allowed to succeed, how can they save face? You go and gather all the members of my Hong family, take weapons and kill the city with me, and fight to the death with the Tartars! ”

The family was extremely embarrassed: "Master, our family ...... Not much! ”

was glared at by Hong She, the family didn't dare to say more, Hong Shi said: "Let the third and fifth children also bring people over, our Hong family will work together to tide over the crisis!" ”

"The sixth master's ......"

The soldier asked again.

Hong Shi said: "The sixth master is now on an errand in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, don't bother him, just bring all the strong men in the family over." I want the world to know that our Hong family is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Hong She's pride, but it is his family who suffers, as the contemporary head of the Hong family in the capital, the oldest one in the third generation, he also has several younger brothers, among which the "six masters" of the Hong family are Hong Xun, who had a lot of connections with Shen Xi before.

Hong Turbidity was originally an errand in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and later transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies as a capital minister through a relationship, engaged in copywriting work, and Hong Turbidity himself was weak and sickly, and he was not suitable to fight in the city.

……

……

The battle on the front line of Xizhimen in the capital is scorching, and Juyongguan is also experiencing war at this time.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, Shen Xi sent several groups of soldiers and horses to harass the Chinese army, but he also reacted strangely, and was repeatedly beaten but could not hold out.

Among the Tatar tribal chiefs, Shen Xi always thought that his plan to lure the enemy would be successful.

Although Shen Xi does not know how it was distributed, he can probably guess that as the leader of the third largest tribe in the Tatars, he is also suspicious of Dayan Khan Batu Munk, and the Yibu tribe was arranged to attack Juyong Pass, as evidenced by the fact that the Yismayin tribe is responsible for gnawing hard bones.

"My lord, the scout sent back the news from the Juyong Pass, it is said that in the direction of the south entrance, the Tartars have thousands of soldiers and horses to attack, and it seems that they are preparing to join forces with the outside to attack the Juyong Pass, at this time, if the soldiers and horses on my north road cannot be withdrawn in time, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the Juyong Pass, but there is a danger of annihilation!"

Hu Songyue saw that Shen Xi had been discussing things for days to convene Lin Heng and others, and ignoring a "talent" like him, he was dissatisfied, and after obtaining information, he rushed to Shen Xi to show his knowledge.

Shen Xi simply replied "um", and then did not react at all, which made Hu Songyue feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart, and pondered: "Lord Shen, did you hear this?" Did I not make it clear enough, or did he disagree with my suggestion? ”

Shen Xi was fiddling with the sand table that reflected the terrain and landform around Juyong Pass, from determining tactics to specific implementation, and then until now, Shen Xi has always looked grim, obviously thinking about the current war.

Hu Songyue didn't get any feedback from Shen Xi, and stood in the big tent of the Chinese army for a long time, and finally felt bored with himself, so he left unhappy.

Not long after, after Lin Heng completed the task of attacking the soldiers and horses on the right wing of the Yibu Division, he came back to report to Shen Xi, obviously he also noticed that the performance of the Yibu Division was wrong.

"Lord Shen, the soldiers and horses of the army seem to have no intention of fighting, the army is disheartened, and the last general suspects that there is a shortage of food in his army, if he takes the opportunity to fight, he may have a chance to win!"

Lin Heng's point of view is the opposite of Hu Songyue.

Hu Songyue felt that the Yibu Department was waiting for the soldiers and horses after the Tatars to arrive at the inner side of Juyong Pass, and the inside should be combined with the outside, which belonged to the pre-war recuperation period, so he hung up the war exemption card and asked Shen Xi to withdraw the soldiers and horses sent by the North Road.

Lin Heng thought that the problem faced by the Yibu Department was very big, and it was estimated that the lack of food and materials had made the morale of its soldiers and horses completely demoralized, and the troops could win a big victory at this time.

There are three paths in front of Shen Xi, or follow Hu Songyue's point of view, avoid the war for the time being, and wait for Juyongguan to decide on the next course of action after the war is over; or follow Lin Heng's advice, pour out of the nest, and fight a decisive battle with the Yibu tribe; Or according to the previous arrangement, continue to harass the enemy, and wait until the trap of the subordinate is not killed before fighting with him.

Similar to Hu Songyue's treatment, what Lin Heng said did not get a positive response from Shen Xi.

But Lin Heng is not so easy to die, the views he advocates will not be easily withdrawn, no one listened to his opinions before, but now the object of the suggestion is his "brother-in-law", which makes Lin Heng have a little more sense of responsibility, no matter what, I want to say what I know, as for whether to adopt it is your business, I just need to have a clear conscience.

Shen Xi put down a small flag representing the Tatar thousand-man team in his hand, and beckoned to the guards at the door: "General Chuan Wang is here!" ”

The guards reacted for a while, and realized that the "General Wang" Shen Xi was referring to Wang Lingzhi, who always liked to stay in the big tent of the Chinese army before, because Shen Xi refused to send him out to fight, and Wang Lingzhi was sullen in the past two days, and even Shen Xi didn't want to see him.

Not long after, Wang Lingzhi carried a big knife into the big tent of the Chinese army, and asked the first sentence: "Senior brother, is there something to do with me?" ”

Shen Xi looked up at him and said, "I'm going to arrange for you to lead the troops into battle!" ”

Wang Lingzhi asked excitedly, "Really?" Is it time for the final showdown? ”

Shen Xi nodded: "I'm going to let you take two thousand cavalry to take the lead, and General Lin will bring three thousand cavalry to protect your flank......"

Wang Lingzhi blinked and asked, "What about you, senior brother?" ”

"Me?" Shen Xi smiled faintly, "I will naturally lead the Chinese army, advance steadily, and strive to annihilate the Tatar soldiers and horses in one fell swoop!" ”

Wang Lingzhi clenched his fists: "With the words of senior brother, I am much more relieved, I will take the lead, senior brother, see who can beat us!" Ha ha! ”

Shen Xi looked at Lin Heng again: "General Lin, do you have any objections?" ”

Lin Heng hesitated a little: "Lord Shen, this matter ...... Don't you need to explain the account of the account? ”

Shen Xi smiled and shook his head: "The whole army is united, once a decision is made, it will be unconditionally abided by." General Lin, this trip is very dangerous, we must guard against the surprise attack of the Tatar wings, and strive for the success of the first battle! ”
