Chapter 542. A big gamble on the last hand

Not only the Jinyi Guard, but also the heavy cavalry of Shanxi Wei who were blocked outside the barracks were heavily armored and wore iron helmets, just like the iron man Arhat with a snow hat in the temple in the snow.

Those who can use such equipment are at least the family soldiers raised by the general soldiers, the elite of the elite.

And Wu Fu is not an ordinary person, the former governor of Shanxi, the squire of the military department, and the scholar of Dongge University! The purple crown black yarn on his head was also covered with a layer of snowflakes, and Wu Fu rode on the horse with a stiff expression, holding the holy decree in his arms, and looked forward gloomily.

Especially after a long time in the military, Yuan Chonghuan also found a small detail, the heavy cavalry in the front row pulled the reins of the horse casually, but the horse behind them, unbiasedly staggered half of the body behind them, faintly, you can still see a little bow through, if you guess correctly, the one in the hand must be the crossbow of the border army!

This scene reminded Yuan Chonghuan once again of the night snow in the palace in the third year of Chongzhen, and the gloomy eyes of Emperor Chongzhen had been shackled by the cold shackles of Jinyiwei.

But even so, taking a deep breath and leading more than a dozen generals of the Qin army, Yuan Chonghuan still strode out, stopped five steps in front of Wu Fuma, and then spread his big sleeves, and fell to the ground solemnly, bowing hoarsely.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said!"

It seemed that those cavalrymen were also relieved, and the scholar Wu Fu suddenly unfolded the holy decree at hand, and recited it in the same hoarse voice.

“………… Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides, picked up prisoners from the border and made meritorious contributions, entrusted with heavy responsibilities, but he was in office as a prestige, restrained excessively, and used his own blessings, but he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, supported the army with self-respect, stagnated, and deeply disappointed, and the crime was in the country, and it was not enough to calm people's hearts if he was not punished.

"In addition, Wu Fu, a scholar of Dongge University, is the governor of the five provinces, supervising the soldiers and horses of the prince of the world, and immediately marching east to level the thieves, there must be no mistake! Chin!"

Even if he was mentally prepared, Yuan Chonghuan still had a buzzing head, his eyes were black, and his head was knocked in the deep snow for a long time without raising it, and the pot suddenly exploded behind him, and he promoted him, and the young officers selected from the children of the Yulin Hao clan in Tongguan, such as Tongguan Staff General He Rou, Yansui guerrilla Zhang Keji and more than a dozen people suddenly jumped up in annoyance.

"Who dares to touch my superintendent?"

"Bold, will you rebel?"

The Shanxi heavy cavalry unceremoniously lit up the guys, but listening to this roar, the Qin troops who were patrolling nearby to watch the excitement all unceremoniously picked up the firearms, and the muzzle of Hessen's gun was uncompromisingly pointed at Wu Fu.

In Wu Fu's discoloration, Liu Jieai, the general of Huamachi, directly pulled out a knife and pointed it in front of his horse's head.

"Qin Jun only recognizes one supervisor, Yuan Chonghuan and Lord Yuan! Get out! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kill you pickled and rancid miscellaneous officials!"

"Stand down!"

Seeing that the situation was about to erupt, the tension was like a fuse hissing and bubbling with a spark of explosives, but at this time, an angry roar was poured on everyone's heads like ice water, and when he turned around, Yuan Chonghuan roared out with anger.

"But Inspector, these stolen officials are here to take your ......"

"Ben Governor said to stand down!"

The excited officers of the Qin army had to retreat after all, and in Wu Fu's frightened heart, Yuan Chonghuan knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed.

"Minister Yuan Chonghuan, take the order!"

The sound of horses' hooves kicked and the Shanxi cavalry from afar entered the camp and took over the most powerful hand of the Ming Dynasty.

…………

Chongzhen's hand also exposed his destitude, in fact, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was not without soldiers and horses, on paper, Zuo Liangyu still had more than 200,000 soldiers, as well as Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier of Xuzhou who Yang Sichang brought to Jiangnan to suppress bandits, Huang Degong, the general soldier of Fengyang, added a piece of more than 100,000 horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Shandong and Hebei.

But until now, the majesty of the imperial court has been almost defeated by Chongzhen, and the court has not been able to transfer the military leaders one by one, so they can only take the relatively obedient Yuan Chonghuan to open the knife.

But Chongzhen didn't think that once even this last obedient army was lost, what else could the court that had become the commander of the light pole do!

The entire court is now dancing on the tip of a knife, but even so, Wu Fu, who arrived at the Qin army camp, is still guilty of a big taboo in the army and changes generals on the spot!

In the past few days, he has inserted a large number of generals brought by himself from Shanxi into the Qin army, and the young generals such as Yuan Chonghuan and Liu Jiewai have been put in the air and squeezed down, these are relatively obedient and hard, and those mountains are huge, such as Gao Jie, the general soldier of Shaanxi, Bai Guangen, the general soldier of Yulin, and Niu Chenghu, the deputy general of Yansui, and other veterans such as Youzi, he is also afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard.

In just three days, the Qin army, which was originally considered to have high morale, was made into a miasma by Wu Fu.

Although it was taken down, the scene of entering the barracks made Wu Fu not dare to be rude to Yuan Chonghuan, it was much more comfortable than the last time he took the Jinyi Wei lock, and he drew a tent alone, and Yuan Chonghuan's things were also moved over as they were, as long as he didn't come out, no one cared about him.

But even so, Yuan Chonghuan didn't come out of the account for five days, and in the first two days, he didn't even get a drop of water, and the rice was not stained, and it was only on the third or fourth day that he was forced to eat the next meal every day, if he couldn't let himself die, he couldn't even eat this meal.

On this day, he still sat on the bed with a frown, staring at the brown paper map, and suddenly the tent curtain was jerked up, and he didn't turn his head back habitually, he only said hoarsely.

"This official can't eat it, take it down!"

"Lord Yuan, can you give the old man a face?"

stood up in amazement, but it was Wu Fu, a scholar of Dongge University, who opened the curtain and came in, and Yuan Chonghuan, who saw it, was startled, and hurriedly bent down and bowed to meet him, bowing heavily.

"The sinner meets the elder of the pavilion!"

"Oh, Brother Yuan, please get up! There is no old superintendent in the pavilion today, let's talk about it with our peers, and talk about it with our peers!"

"History of the Ming Dynasty" commented on Wu Fu: "It is really difficult to suppress the current situation, and it is not a talent of the world, and it is necessary to know it without knowing it." It means that although he is not a genius of destiny, he is not a straw bag like Chen Yan Wei Zaode Li Jiantai, the old guy has supervised the division and led the soldiers, and he also knows that the current Qin army is to find death and give people their heads, when it is time to bow his head, Wu Fu also lowered his head, put down the wine and food in the basket, he personally pulled Yuan Chonghuan to sit down, stretched out his hand and poured him a glass of wine, and said with a smile.

"Brother, I am also the emperor's order, let my brother be wronged, my brother is here to make amends for you!"

"Don't dare to be!"

Helplessly picked up the wine glass, and Yuan Chonghuan accompanied him to drink.

In the troubled times, there was a shortage of food, and the people were all changed to eat, and this Wu Fu actually came from Jiangnan at a high price, and the rice wine made from the grain, the flat mouth tasted the taste of this old wine, and the old guy bowed again.

"Brother Yuan! The elder brother has a reluctant request, the elder brother has the right to act cheaply, the elder brother wants you to be the acting governor of Shaanxi, supervise the Qin army, and fight a decisive battle with the thieves, do you think it is okay? ”

The original trilateral governor was given to the governor of Shaanxi, or on behalf of him, and he won the battle because he Wu Fu led the way, added the official and entered the knighthood, and lost the estimate that Chongzhen was punished for several crimes, and he carried the black pot, and this battle was not an ordinary difficult battle, and there was really little hope of winning, if ordinary people were afraid that they would like to throw off their sleeves and leave the old man, that is, now take the shackles to the big neck, and run away, he also has to be happy.

But Yuan Chonghuan is Yuan Chonghuan after all, and he nodded without hesitation.

"Pavilion Elder, let Yuan be the governor of Shaanxi, but Yuan still doesn't change his tactics! Don't move this winter, wait for next year's spring to be warm, and march on the march!"

Full of earnestness, he bowed heavily, spoke heavily, and spoke hurriedly.

"Our army is only 80,000!, and in the entire north of the imperial court, only our army can fight, and once our army makes a mistake! Shaanxi three sides are not guaranteed! If the three sides are lost, the court is like a bird's nest in the pavilion, and the wind blows over!"

"The army is more than ten times that of our army, and in recent years, there have been fierce battles one after another, and the defeated soldiers of the official army have been reined in, and the brave artillery is practiced. Its combat effectiveness is not trivial! However, this is its advantage and its disadvantage! The land of Zhongzhou, Henan Province has been plagued by disasters for many years, the people are thieves, the fields are barren, and the food is difficult to eat! When I don't attack the thief in the spring famine next year, the thief will definitely attack me! When the time comes, relying on the danger of Heluo, the benefits of firearms, and the convenience of the Yellow River, we will transport supplies and nourish the bloodline, and the battle will not take more than three months! Li Chuang definitely can't support it! The scattering of the thieves will fall apart again into thousands of strands, and they will scatter again!"

"When the time comes, the army will be on all sides! And suppress it, it's as easy as a snap! Why take such a risk today and fight the thief? ”

Yuan Chonghuan's strategy is to drag! Anyway, he has surplus grain in the 800-mile pass, and the Qin army can afford to drag it, but Li Zicheng is like a locust robbing from east to west, and he can't afford to drag it out! Now all the heroes of the green forest road follow Li Zicheng, because they can win battles and eat well with him, but the peasant army has no longevity, once they encounter setbacks and have nothing to eat, they naturally begin to fall and scatter internally, and they take care of themselves, and the millions of troops who are twisted together are the power to create a dynasty, and they are scattered into a small team of 1258,000, which is no different from the thieves who wandered around the country in the past few years, and they are twisted and killed!

Besides, as long as this Yuan Chonghuan achieves the results of the battle, Huguang Zuo Liangyu, Xuzhou Liu Liangzuo, and even Datong Jiang Jiao, these local military leaders must be like flies that see stinky meat, and they will also incarnate a counter-revolutionary force that frantically counterattacks, and they will step up their greetings to the peasant army, and they will all be alive!

Why bother these months?

But the most uncomfortable thing in the world is that everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, and Wu Fu also understands the reason, but let him carry Chongzhen's will, but he refuses and does not dare.

"Brother Yuan! Liaodong Mao Jue, called the King of Liao! He still has the heirloom jade seal in his hand!"

"Yuan has been in Liaodong for more than ten years, he knows Mao Jue too well, he is a person who plans and then acts, as long as the court is as stable as Mount Tai! He would never venture south and risk the world's condemnation! It is enough to have Wu Sangui's army stationed at Shanhaiguan!"

"Brother Yuan, you understand this, but the emperor doesn't understand! What he sees now is only Mao Jue's traitor holding the jade seal of the country, separating Liaodong, and eyeing the Jingshi! But now the official army can't even solve a small rogue! The emperor can't wait!"

With the same seriousness, Wu Fu patted his chest and said with difficulty: "Now there is still the old man who supports you Lord Yuan, the Qin army is still concentric, and there is still the power of a battle, if the old man is also taken down by the emperor here, and then another person, even if it is delayed until next year, does Lord Yuan think he has the ability to turn the tide and stop the thieves from millions?" ”

"Old and cheeky, please ask Lord Yuan to act as the commander of the three armies, and lead the Qin army to fight to the death against the thieves!"

Looking at Wu Fu, who bowed down, Yuan Chonghuan was really stunned, last time, he was carried to this damn politics, but I didn't expect it to be this time! Indeed, there are not many options left for him!

In Liaodong for a few years, in the end, he was also contaminated with the heroic habits of some Liaodong men, and sighed deeply sadly, suddenly Yuan Chonghuan reached out and carried the wine jar brought by Wu Fu, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, and drank a small jar of aged flower carvings in one breath.

"Yuan, obey your fate!"

"General Xie!"

He bowed heavily again, and then Wu Fu didn't delay, he knew that Yuan Chonghuan needed to vent, so he turned around and walked away with interest, but before he could go out, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly reached out behind him and stopped him.

"Ge Lao, you say that Mao Jue is called the King of Liao, I don't know if there is a ...... among the princesses of Liao."

"What?"

"Forget it! Yuan is too strong to drink, so he can't send off the elder of the pavilion!"

Shaking his head again, Wu Fu opened the tent, and this time he really turned around and left. It's almost a pound of wine, even Yuan Chonghuan is slightly shaky, but he is incomprehensible, he reached out and grabbed the bottle again, but as soon as he lifted it, he put it down again, holding on to the tent stand, Yuan Chonghuan walked heavily, and swayed back to the front of the bookbox just now.

A small crystal jade bottle was taken out by him, on the bottle, a few pieces of cherry blossoms were as red as blood, unscrewed the cork, and the indifferent fragrance of cherry blossoms also wafted out, holding the bottle, Yuan Chonghuan sighed deeply.

Mo Dao hero is short of breath, who is not a child?

…………

Fortunately, the miasma of the Qin army in the past few days was swept away after Yuan Chonghuan returned from his re-trip, and several excluded generals were reinstated, as long as Yuan Chonghuan was willing to send troops, Wu Fu would not go against him in this regard.

On the eighth day of October, once again, the desolate horn echoed over the dark sky of the ancient city of Yanshi, stepping on the knee-deep snow, the cavalry of the front army walked dullly, and the sergeants pushing cannons and wheelbarrows behind rolled a muddy ravine in the snow.

A pole of Shaanxi governor, the banner of the military department squire Yuan Youyou floated in the wind and snow, riding a horse and walking in the front of the whole army, Yuan Chonghuan was expressionless, and there was no longer a trace of emotion in the world.

Daming's last set of chips was also placed on the table!
