Before the start of the year-end war, Zhu Pingjin asked Fang Luo and others.

Liao Daheng suggested that the local tyrants should be "driven away from starvation" and trapped in Bashan to digest slowly. Cheng Xiangfeng also suggested that the policy of "golden horns and silver borders" should be implemented, with Hezhou as the apex and Qujiang and Jialing rivers as both sides, and defend first and then attack.

However, the strategy of the two implies the implication of backing the rear base of Chongqing. If the guards fight in the front, the Chongqing gentry make trouble behind their backs, and the consequences are unimaginable. At this time, Qian Weihan took the initiative to jump out and offered a plan to "draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle", that is, to transfer Zhao Ronggui and Ding Xianjue's troops stationed in Chongqing out of Chongqing, drive them to the battlefield, and knock out the Chongqing gentry in one fell swoop.

Zhu Pingjin is as good as a stream, Liao Daheng harbors evil intentions, and Qian Weihan's strategy of "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle" has been implemented.

It can be said that Zhu Pingjin was able to stuff a battalion of meager troops into Chongqing, so as to grasp the initiative in the game, and Qian Weihan's plan of "drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle" was indispensable.

However, plans are not as fast as changes. Zhao and Ding sent troops, and the endings were very different.

Ding Xianjue, Feng and Cai knew each other and showed their skills on the battlefield in Dazhou. And Zhao Ronggui was confused by the victory of the escort ** in Luodu and suffered a crushing defeat in the south of Guang'an City. If it weren't for Zhu Pingjin pulling him at the last moment, he would have been in a different place.

Zhao Ronggui's failure in Guang'an turned "drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle" into "borrowing a knife to kill people," which Qian Weihan never imagined when he first offered time. But the result is so perfect, and the prince of the world affirms it in public, that is, this credit is counted on him.

Qian Weihan's heart was first hot, and then cold. What is hot is that if you have merit now, you will be rewarded in the future; The cool thing is that from then on, the black pot that framed Wang Xingjian and Zhao Ronggui was carried by him. If the son of the world loses one day, the account will be counted on his head!

After thinking clearly about this powerful relationship, Qian Weihan suddenly understood that the young arrogant man in front of him was not only trying to win him over, but also reminding him: I still remember what you did before!

Thinking clearly about this powerful relationship, Qian Weihan suddenly left the chair and grabbed the ground with his head against Zhu Pingjin above:

"The minister will not dare to deceive the son of the world! Liao Fu is a member of the imperial court, and the emperor is kind, so there are always some ends of the head! A few days ago, he received a letter from his brother-in-law, Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu persuaded him that the status of the prince is noble, and he is deeply supported by all the people, if he does not become a minister early, he will be abandoned by the king in the future, and he will be deceived by the villain!

Mr. Liu also said that the affairs of the world have been clear, and the court, thieves, tartars, and vassal kings must have one of the four and have the world.

Surrender, alien minions! Insulting the ancestors, the world is ashamed, and it is undoubtedly the next choice;

Descend to the thief, the Qing Dynasty is also a second minister! The bereaved ministers are despised, and the new dynasty is not tolerated, and it is the choice of the middle and lower;

Loyal to the court, observant of the festival for the Son of Heaven, loyal ministers and aspirants, and a hundred generations, regret that the net worth is not guaranteed, and the ambition is empty. Top-of-the-middle only;

Only by following the son of the world, you can not only be able to do the whole Ming Chen Festival, but also show your ambitions. It is as far as Xiao Zhang of the Han Dynasty and Fang Du of the Tang Dynasty, and as close as the two princes of the British and Cheng Dynasty (Note 1). Famous for all generations, glorious ancestors. In the future, the world will be decided, and the king will not lose the prince; Retreat does not lose thousands of acres of fertile land. What a leisurely swim! ”

"Mr. Liu's insight is extraordinary! So how did Liao Gong answer? This prince thought that he was still waiting, waiting for the news of the big city in the Central Plains! ”

Liao Gong did hesitate. However, the minister thinks that with the position of Liao Gong, this is also normal! After all, the vassal king leads the troops, and there is only one son in the world today! ”

Hehe! Zhu Pingjin finally laughed out loud.

The first time Zhu Pingjin competed with this Qian Weihan, it was on the way to Yongxing Field. The three of them sat on a ridge, and in this way completed the preliminary collusion of the feudal government. On the same day, in the battle of Jiangkou, Zhu Pingjin used the call of his relatives to roar down the bandits of Niujiaozhai and completed his first wonderful appearance after returning to Chengdu Mansion.

"Liao Gong's determination is difficult, and this son knows it. However, according to what this son of the world has seen, there is not much time left for Liao Gong to think. Sooner or later, Sichuan will complete its unified rule. Nowadays, the situation of partition and rule of the feudal government is difficult to last. Move early and be active, and be passive if you move late! ”

What is "unitary rule", what is "active" and "passive", Qian Weihan doesn't understand very well, but he can roughly guess the meaning and know that the teenager above is beating him. He decided to ask Cheng Xiangfeng for advice later, and asked Director Cheng to help him fully understand the intentions of the prince. So he bowed again: "The minister must live up to the trust of the prince, please ask Liao Fu to make his attitude clear as soon as possible!" ”

"Good! There is also that article, Mr. Qian wants to urge Liao Fu to write it as soon as possible!

Emperor Taizu Gao ruled the troubled times and paid attention to punishing corruption; Dedication to the king and the rule of Shu, paying attention to benevolence and righteousness and education, these are originally two aspects of the same thing. But there are always some bad literati who wantonly take quotes out of context, distort and slander! There are even rumors and slanders against Emperor Taizu Gao, saying that Taizu gave a steamed goose and killed the King of Zhongshan (Note 2). It's just nonsense, which is tolerable and which is unbearable!

This article was published in Fuxing Daily, which can not only clear the source, but also deal with the current people in Shu who hesitate to wait and see; You can also give a stern warning to those who slander their ancestors and spread rumors: If you don't stop it, the literary prison will be prosperous!

So it's a big article!

Write carefully!

Write well, but also write thoroughly!

Liao has a lot of official affairs, managing the military of a province, Mr. Qian is Liao Fu's staff, please be more attentive and share some of the burden for Liao Gong! If Mr. Qian is embarrassed, you might as well discuss it with Mr. Cheng and Mr. Sun! ”

The words of the prince have all been said to this part, and Qian Weihan can only be said to be the only one. The army searched out a lot of demons from Guang'an City, and I heard Mr. Cheng say that these days, the prince of the world has seen all of them, and he is extremely angry. Liao Daheng was reluctant to be a vassal to the prince, and the prince just took advantage of the topic to play.

"Now let's talk about the urgent matter in front of you, how does Mr. Qian feel, just come!" Zhu Pingjin changed his smile and said.

"One of the ministers' feelings is that the opportunity for the prince to control the whole Sichuan has come; The second feeling is that Wang Chaoyang is not really the opposite! ”

……

Regardless of whether Wang Chaoyang is true or false, since he rebelled, he must use troops to encircle and suppress him. Otherwise, the officer with the troops will say the opposite, and the army will not become a sharp blade to kill the enemy and protect the people, but will become a smoking bomb in his arms, then it will be repaid!

Now around Baoning Mansion, the number of guards includes a brigade of protecting the village of Wang Shengwu in Yilong County, and a brigade of protecting the village of Xu Shoucai of Xinzheng Dam, both of which are full brigades. The Yilong County Brigade is also a super-formed brigade with four squadrons and two squadrons. To the west of Nanfang County, there are two squadrons of Wang Daniu's Tongchuan Zhuangzhuang Guarding Team, and hundreds of Hejiazhuang Ding on the other side of the Baoning Fu River. The total number of troops is more than 2,000.

Of course, these troops still have to defend the localities, and it is impossible for them all to participate in the encirclement and suppression, and the mobile forces that can be drawn out are only 1,02 at most.

If more than 1,000 troops are transferred from the vicinity of Guang'an, it will not affect the reorganization and transformation plan that is being carried out step by step, nor will it affect the combat preparations against the local tyrants, and the comparison of troops against Wang Chaoyang will also be able to gain a one-to-1.5 advantage.

This is the military response plan hastily developed by the General Staff. The General Staff also believed that there had been a change in Baoning, and that Zhang Zuokai, who was near Yuxi, and Jia Denglian, who was north of Yilong, could not sit idly by and watch their rear roads being cut off, and would definitely draw troops to counterattack. In that way, the strength advantage of the officers and the guards will be greater.

With Qian Weihan's analysis and the military response plan of the General Staff, Zhu Pingjin, who felt that Baoning had little problem, nodded in approval, but ordered the news to be strictly sealed from the non-participating troops, so as to prevent the Liu Weiming troops who had already recruited An'an and the local thugs and Guang'an bandits who had surrendered from rioting.

Soldiers are fast. The day after Zhu Pingjin received the news, he secretly led his army to Shunqing Mansion.

The troops that followed Zhu Pingjin on the expedition included a guard battalion; There are three infantry companies, including the first company of the 1st Battalion, the second company of the 10th battalion, and the fourth company of the fifth battalion; Dong Bu's 3rd Cavalry Battalion; one battalion and one company of artillery; A company of baggage and a newly created engineer platoon.

Feng Rubao, who had stepped down from the training errand of the Peach Blossom Guardian Team, had nothing to do all day grinding and rubbing his skin, so Zhu Pingjin took him with him and asked him to command the infantry. He Qiukou, who had just taken over as the commander of the Fourth Regiment, led the first company of the Eighth Battalion to set off directly from Qu County. Lu Yinchang, deputy commander of the Fourth Regiment, was relieved of the post of commander of the Eighth Battalion and acted as the commander of the regiment. Lu Yinchang and Luo Jingyun led the Fourth Regiment to move to Sanhui Town. Lu Yinchang's posthumous post was taken over by Cao Xun, deputy commander of the 8th Battalion.

The first company of the first battalion is one of the oldest companies with the highest qualifications to protect the first battalion; The 2nd Company of the 10th Battalion was a newly reorganized company that had been defeated in Guangmenpu; The 1st Company of the 8th Battalion was formerly a serious officer; The fourth company of the fifth battalion is a Tianquan Tusi company, and it is also a newly completed fire company with equipment, half of the Han and half of the native soldiers after the reorganization. There are more than 1,500 infantry and artillery units in total, and they can form a reinforced battalion-level combat team with an ideal ratio of infantry and cavalry artillery.

On this expedition, the logistics unit brought only one company, carrying artillery ammunition and a small amount of food. Because until the New Deal Dam, there are Wangzhuang along the way. The troops relied on the dry rations they carried, enough to get to the New Deal Dam without the need for additional supplies. That's the benefit of fighting on the inside.

The marching route planned by the General Staff was to first take the main road from Guang'an to Shunqing Province via Yuechi. The road was about two hundred miles long, and it took four days for infantry to cross the Jialing River to the west.

After the meeting with He Qiu Kou in Shunqing Mansion, the land route from Shunqing to Baoning was advanced, and there were more than 200 miles to reach Hejiazhuang, and it took four days to walk.

Two four days is eight days.

Zhu Pingjin was worried about the safety of Hejiazhuang and the situation of Baoning Mansion, so he decided to throw off the infantry artillery and lead the cavalry first. In this way, the time to reach Hejiazhuang will be saved by at least five days. The infantry artillery was left to He Qiukou and Feng Rubao to lead. Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan, who had suffered heavy physical and mental losses, was expected to rest in Guang'an for two days before catching up with the infantry artillery and accompanying the army.

The main road from Yuechi to Sungyeongfu requires crossing the Geumseong Mountains. At the southern foot of the Jincheng Mountains, the guards on the march met many refugees who came out of the mountains.

Refugees in twos and threes faced the drizzle, stepped on the mud, carried burdens, carried baskets, and helped the old and the young. After hiding in the cold mountains for more than two months, many of the refugees looked better than Zhu Pingjin expected. Cheng Xiangfeng stopped a few old men to inquire, only to know that the famous Jin Ziguan in Jincheng Mountain took in many refugees. Now that I have returned home, I can't be in a bad mood!

The cavalry bypassed a small mountain pass, but Zhu Pingjin unexpectedly met He Zengshan, who was waiting on the side of the mountain road.

He was directing the troops to search and clear the Black Tiger Mixed Sky Star, how could he leave his errand and run here with the guards?

……

He Zengshan and Zhu Pingjin walked side by side. He Zengshan's face was solemn, and Zhu Pingjian's face was like an ancient well.

"Shizi, the minister is not worried about Hejiazhuang. In the past, the lord ruled the village with military law, and the old village was fully equipped with weapons, and everyone in the village knew how to fight. Now Hejiazhuang plus the surrounding Zhuangzi, the population is nearly 5,000, and the people who stay in the village can gather 500 soldiers. If the rebels really come, men, women, and children will go into battle together, relying on the village wall and the fortress on Baita Mountain, and there will be no problem in holding it for a month. The only thing that the minister is worried about is that this Wang Chaoyang is coerced by the rebels and has ruined his reputation for a lifetime! ”

The corners of Zhu Pingjin's eyes jumped: "Oh? Is General He saying that this Wang Chaoyang is not really the opposite? ”

"Wang Chaoyang is quite loyal! In the battle of Baiqing Dam, Wang Chaoyang was full of arrows and finally broke out of the encirclement. Later, the bodies of the general Hou Zongbing and the old man were recovered, and Wang Chaoyang cried bitterly and did not enter the water for several days. Minister......"

When He Zengshan, a cold-faced man, said this, his face was a little emotional:

"It's hard for Chen to imagine that Wang Chaoyang will rebel! It is true that he has a deep resentment towards the imperial court, but who does not resent the imperial court in the past?

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Li Weixin was the chief military officer of Sichuan, begging for luxury, attacking Guizhou, and Zhenyongning, and experienced more than 100 battles. In the second year of Chongzhen, Guizhou General Soldier Xu Chengming was defeated by Chishuiwei, and it was Hou General Soldier who supervised the soldiers to counterattack bravely, turn the tide, and create a strange victory in the southwest.

However, after that, those civil servants attacked each other, and the emperor listened to and believed it, and the reward was not good!

In the middle of the hundred acres of dams, it is because the civil servants do not know the soldiers, and they dispatch indiscriminately, how can they blame the general soldiers of Hou? General Hou fought to the death, and the imperial court not only did not compensate him, but took away the official position of General Hou Bing! Master...... There are also generals such as Hou Tianxi and Wang Chaoyang...... If you don't think about this big tomorrow...... It was going to be reversed! ”

He Zengshan's eyes slowly turned red as he spoke. The old things touched the most secret pain in the heart of this strong man.

"Why didn't Wang Chaoyang rebel back then, and why is he rebelling now? This is also where the son of this world is confused! Therefore, this son ordered your second brother to lead the army. On the battle array, I have seen old friends for many years, and I can tell you any hardships! ”

He Zengshan suddenly turned over and dismounted, and knelt down for Zhu Pingjin on the dirt road with potholes in the mountains.

"Dare to fight, please leave Wang Chaoyang alive!"

"General He not only wants to keep Wang Chaoyang alive, but also worries that Hou Tianxi and the Hou family will be involved in the rebellion and cut off Hou Liangzhu's lineage!"

"The prince has insight into people's hearts, and the minister does have this intention! It is really ...... for ministers to harm state affairs with their personal feelings Son, it is unfair for the court to treat the general soldiers and dead soldiers! ”

He Zengshan, a dignified seven-foot man and a veteran general, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Zhu Pingjin was silent for a while, and finally got off the horse. He lifted He Zeng and said:

"The road is walked by people, and everyone chooses a different path. If Wang Chaoyang is lost and returns, this son can be extrajudicially gracious. Liu Weiming, the rebel king, can still not be killed, but he is a veteran with outstanding achievements!

But if he is obsessed and compromises justice with personal grievances, this son of the world will have no choice but to use his head to correct the law of the country!

As for the unjust case of General Hou and the soldiers who died in battle, this prince intends to order the Sichuan No. 2 Taiwan No. 3 Division to retry the case and find out the truth. Then go to the court to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for it, and comfort the souls of the martyrs in the sky! ”

"The ministers, the masters, the young masters, and the dead brothers, thank the prince for his great kindness!"
