Hu Dawei said a few words to Li Zhi, and then went to salute Lu Xiangsheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a while, Zhang Yan, the counselor of the Xuanfu Mansion, walked in. That Zhang Yan was a tall and thin man, with a pair of slender eyes that were very bright, and he was wearing a white lacquered scale armor and a scarlet cloak, and he was very sleek. He went up to worship Lu Xiangsheng first, and then Lu Xiangsheng introduced him: "This young general is Li Zhi, the general of Tianjin West Road!" β
Zhang Yan didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to attach so much importance to Li Zhi, so he introduced Li Zhi to himself when he came up, and hurriedly walked up to Li Zhi and said, "I've heard General Li's name for a long time, and I only saw it today!" General Su Wen is young, I can't imagine that he is so young. β
"General Zhang has said it, what is the reputation of the young general?"
Zhang Yan said seriously: "General Li beheaded Yang Guli in the Fanjiazhuang formation, captured more than 1,000 Tartar heads, and broke Zhang Xianzhong Luo Rucai in Anqing, and became famous all over the world, is he a nameless person?" Military attachΓ©s in the world, who doesn't know generals? β
Li Zhi didn't expect that he was really famous, so he was happy and said: "General Zhang has won the award, and the young general still has a lot to ask General Zhang for advice!" β
That Zhang Yan also seemed to be a person who didn't talk much, he smiled, sat down in his seat, and didn't speak again.
After a while, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, arrived. That Wang Pu was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he was quite handsome. He was wearing a set of delicate and gorgeous Mingguang armor, and he was holding a beautifully carved helmet with long brocade feathers on it, which was very beautiful. He walked up to Lu Xiangsheng and bowed, and then heard Lu Xiangsheng introduce Li Zhi to him.
"This young general is Li Zhi, the general of Fanjiazhuang!"
Wang Pu smiled, walked up to Li Zhi, patted Li Zhi's shoulder, and said, "Little brother, this war depends on you to make new contributions!" β
This Wang Pu is a self-acquaintance, and as soon as they meet, he calls himself a brother. Li Zhi nodded and said, "It depends on the concerted efforts of all the generals to win a big victory!" β
Wang Pu laughed, lightly punched Li Zhi in the chest, nodded, and returned to his seat.
After a while, other generals arrived one after another, including Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Yutian, Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Wang Tingchen, the general soldier of Qiantun Guard. These generals are all the general soldiers of Jiliao, and they are all very arrogant. Lu Xiangsheng introduced Li Zhi to them, and they all disdained Li Zhi's youth, and they felt a little stupid, so they just exchanged a few words.
In the end, Li Zhi calculated, and there were eight general soldiers in the camp.
When everyone arrived, the reception feast began. Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers brought rice wine, mutton, and rice to the generals. Lu Xiangsheng himself wants to keep filial piety, and there is only rice and water on the table. Li Zhi sat at the bottom of the generals and deputy generals, and at the top of the generals, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to announce the start of the banquet.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the generals gathered in the tent, looked excited, and said loudly: "All the officials in the DPRK and China say that you should not fight lightly, but this generation does not know that the two armies have a method of war, no law, and no way to avoid war. The code is bold, and if you avoid it, you will tremble and tremble, and you will eventually be defeated. Now our army is gathered in the suburbs of Beijing, with 60,000 strong soldiers and horses, and most of them are elite soldiers, who can fight to the death with the Tartars to separate the male and female! β
The generals said loudly:
"Governor Takami!"
"I'm willing to fight to the death!"
Lu Xiangsheng saw that all the generals had no intention of avoiding war, and said excitedly: "Xiangsheng has filial piety, and he is an ominous person. However, the Son of Heaven summoned him, and he didn't dare not serve the country with his body, and he was shrouded in horse leather! Our army is now burdened with family hatred and national hatred, and its morale is like a rainbow, and it is the right time to use it. In the coming day, we will give Dongnu a thunder blow, and we will be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop! β
When the generals in the tent saw Lu Xiangsheng's impassioned passion, they were all a little moved, and there was a little more determination in their eyes. Compared with other scheming governors, there is indeed a difference between a governor like Lu Xiangsheng who is loyal and inspiring.
After a pause, Lu Xiangsheng said: "But now that our army has just assembled, and there is still the suffering of saddle horse fatigue, I decided to let the army repair for five days. Five days later, I led my army to a decisive battle at Dongnu. β
Lu Xiangsheng raised the water cup in his hand and said loudly: "Xiangsheng guards filial piety, and he can't drink, so he salutes the generals with water!" β
The generals raised their glasses and said loudly, "Thank you, Governor! β
Lu Xiangsheng leaned up and drank the clear water in the cup, and the generals raised their glasses and drank the rice wine.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the generals, eased his emotions, and said slowly: "Today's banquet is also a banquet for Tianjin General Li Zhi. This time, Li Zhi led an army of 10,000 to help, all of them were elite and strong soldiers, and they were as immobile as a mountain! Li Zhi even brought 140 Hongyi cannons. As soon as his soldiers and horses arrived, the situation between us and the enemy suddenly changed. β
Hearing Lu Xiangsheng say that Li Zhi brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, the generals present were all very surprised. In the first few years, a total army was only a few thousand battalions, and it was indeed a bit shocking for a general to pull out 10,000 soldiers and horses. One hundred and forty Hongyi cannons are even more shocking. Except for Li Zhi, the other soldiers and horses together did not have so many Hongyi cannons. The generals looked at each other a few times, and they all saw the deep surprise in each other's eyes.
This Li Zhi has so many soldiers and cannons, no wonder he can break Zhang Xianzhong in Anqing.
The generals looked Li Zhi up and down, and secretly said how could Li Zhi have the money to raise so many soldiers and cast so many Hongyi cannons?
Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "Li Zhi, you came all the way from Tianjin, can the road be peaceful?" β
Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "There are a lot of slave riders in the south of the capital, and the scout of the last general also fought with the slave riders, beheaded fifty-six slave riders, and captured seven people alive!" β
Hearing this, all the generals in the big tent stared at Li Zhi in surprise.
The scouts of the Qing army are known to be brave, and the scouts of the Ming army generally do not dare to provoke the Qing army, and generally run away when they see the Qing army scouts, and can only rely on the numerical advantage to force the Qing army scouts to retreat. Like Li Zhi, the generals have never heard of the fact that they can capture more than 60 Qing troops with a few scouts.
The generals looked at Li Zhi with a little suspicion in their eyes, and secretly said that this young general would not be a good man, right?
Lu Xiangsheng thought about it for a while, and said loudly: "You also caught seven alive?" Bring it up and show it to the Governor! β
Li Zhi said: "Wait a minute! β
At this time, Zhong Feng, Li Laosi, and Zheng Kaicheng sat behind Li Zhi, and Li Zhi asked Zheng Kaicheng to bring the Tartar captives. In a short time, seven Tartar captives and fifty-six Tartar heads were carried to the Chinese tent.
The fifty-six heads of the Tartars were all made of lime and piled high together, with a thin braid dragged behind each head. Five of the seven Tartars were shot in the hands and feet by Mini's bullets, and two were wounded by horses, all of them were wounded at this time, and they knelt in the big tent of the Chinese army, moaning from time to time.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the braided tartars and nodded approvingly. As soon as the other generals saw these elite Tartar soldiers on the ground, they immediately believed Li Zhi's words, and their eyes when they looked at Li Zhi were immediately different.
This Li Zhi really captured more than 60 Tartars, and his soldiers and horses were really brave. With such a strong soldier to accompany him, this victory is a few more points.
Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Dongnu soldiers, this governor asks you, this time you entered Gyeonggi, in addition to the commander Dolgon, what other generals are there?" β
One of Lu Xiangsheng's aides stood up and translated Lu Xiangsheng's words into Manchu.
The tartar on the ground snorted a few times, but was unwilling to answer. The soldiers of the Elective Regiment, who were guarding behind the Tartars, raised their whips and snapped at one of the Tartars. There was immediately a bloody streak on the back of the tartar, and he was afraid that Li Zhi's soldiers would whip him again, so he crawled on the ground and said a word.
Lu Xiangsheng's staff listened, and the translator said: "This time, Dongnu has the puppet king Dolgon as the general under order, and Belhaug and Abatai as the deputy generals; Belle Yueto is the general of Yangwu, and Beledudu is the deputy general. β
When the generals heard this, they suddenly realized. It was only then that they knew which Tartar leaders were on the other side besides Dolgon. (To be continued.) )
