Due to the chaos of the army and the difficulty of the road, when Xiao Ruxun received the urgent governor's appointment order issued in the name of the cabinet, it was already the 28th day of the first month seven days later.

At that time, Xiao Ruxun had already transferred back the main force of 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yulin Shanxi in the name of acting governor of the four sides, and ordered 10,000 infantry troops stationed in Xinzhou, 10,000 infantry troops stationed in Taiyuan, 10,000 infantry troops stationed in Qixian County, 10,000 infantry troops stationed in Xiaoyi, 10,000 infantry troops stationed in Fenzhou, and the remaining 50,000 cavalry were ordered to go south to meet with them in Hot Spring County in the southwest of Xiaoyi.

I have to say that the situation Xiao Ruxun faced at that time was still very serious, because the soldiers and horses of Yulin and Taiyuan obeyed the order and went south, not because of the identity of the acting governor, but because of fear.

How Taiyuan was lost, everyone knows in their hearts, those guys were afraid because they lost Taiyuan, so they had to withdraw from the front line, for fear that they would become Wang Shiyang's martyrs or scapegoats.

After they arrived at the current front line against the enemy, they knew that Wang Shiyang had taken all the responsibility and did not drag anyone to die together.

The civil official factions of the Ming Dynasty are full of mountains, and the army is naturally the same, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this is certain, Xiao Ruxun was born in Ningxia, if the Ningxia soldiers come, they will naturally be respectful to Xiao Ruxun, because they are their own people, and they feel very cordial.

The border troops of Xuanfu Datong, the Qi soldiers of Shandong, the southern soldiers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Sichuan soldiers and the Guangdong soldiers of Sichuan also fought side by side with Xiao Ruxun in the Korean battlefield, and they received Xiao Ruxun's favor, and they will definitely abide by Xiao Ruxun's military orders.

Although the Liaodong soldiers under Li Rusong had an unpleasant relationship with Xiao Ruxun, now Li Rusong took the lead in obeying the military order, and the Liaodong soldiers and Jurchen soldiers naturally also obeyed the military order.

But in addition, the five towns of Gansu, Yulin, Taiyuan, Jizhen, and Guyuan on the nine sides have no contact with Xiao Ruxun and belong to strangers.

In the army of the Ming Dynasty, strangeness is antagonism, don't say where you are, first of all, you are either an outsider on your side, outsiders must be warned, no matter how famous you are, it doesn't count if you don't see it.

These border towns have their own hills, and they are all day long, but they are also united in the outside world, and the vigilance of this town and that town of that town is vigilant of this town, and each other is vigilant.

This is true even for several border towns in Xuanda, Taiyuan, Yulin, which are very close to each other, not to mention Xiao Ruxun, who was born in Ningxia Town in the northwest border.

Although you are famous and have achieved brilliant results, you are not our own people, we just can't listen to you, otherwise you will harm us.

This is already habitual thinking.

Besides, although you Xiao Ruxun is famous, but you, the governor, are privately granted and received, and it is not counted, everyone obeys your orders to save face for Wang Shiyang, not because of you, the acting governor, anyway, when the new governor comes, you still have to abdicate, right?

Therefore, although these infantry troops were stationed according to Xiao Ruxun's order, the 50,000 cavalry who were ordered to go to Hot Spring Town had a problem.

The cavalry of Taiyuan Town and the cavalry of Yulin Town stopped and rested in two parts, turning a deaf ear to the military order sent by Xiao Ruxun asking them to march quickly, refusing to obey and repeatedly prevaricating.

Taiyuan General Dong Yikui had been killed in battle before, Wang Shiyang was urgently transferred to Dong Yikui's younger brother Dong Yiyuan to succeed him as Taiyuan General Soldier, but Dong Yiyuan had not yet arrived, and the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Town were now in a state of leaderlessness, and several generals were stubbornly holding on under the leadership of Deputy General Soldier Li Wei.

When the war broke out, Yulin General Army Dayun had just been transferred, and when Wang Shiyang's troop transfer order came, Yulin Town led tens of thousands of Yulin border troops to Taiyuan with Wang Wei, the deputy chief soldier, as the chief officer.

The idea of longing for merit in order to sit firmly in the position of Yulin General Army was the reason why Wang Wei took the initiative to ask to attack the north, which resulted in the loss of Taiyuan and the collapse of the war situation.

The soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Town also thought like this, and the two soldiers and horses felt ashamed, for fear that Xiao Ruxun would do something, so the two soldiers and horses stopped here and were unwilling to come forward, which made Xiao Ruxun very annoyed.

Xiao Ruxun is not Wang Shiyang, and he doesn't plan to do anything about the previous things, after all, Wang Shiyang has already taken all the responsibility, Xiao Ruxun still has to use these soldiers and horses to go north to counterattack, obviously he was kind enough to call them over and prepare to share the profits and give them some credit, but the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan and Yulin actually didn't know what to do!

He had already besieged the last 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Captives in Hot Spring Town, and immediately ordered a general attack when the large army arrived, annihilating the Northern Captives in one fell swoop and preventing any fish from escaping, which would be difficult for him to do with less than 20,000 troops.

A piece of kindness was actually regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and Xiao Ruxun was also angry enough.

"Give them one more order! Issued in the name of the Acting Governor-General! If they continue to cower, they will be punished for cowardice! ”

Xiao Ruxun sent another group of heralds.

To tell the truth, it is the first time that I have encountered such a situation after so many years of fighting, and it is either a guy like Li Rusong who keeps giving orders and just wants to fight, and he will obey it with a stick, or a group of dragons without a leader to defeat the army, and just win the hearts of the people.

But these guys are organized and have a team, the system is complete, and they advance and retreat at the same time, and they are acting as governors in the final analysis, probably these border generals don't think that the imperial court will really hand over the position of governor to themselves, and there will definitely be new civil officials to take over after that, so they don't take themselves seriously in their hearts.

Moreover, they were born in Ningxia Town, and the previous battles did not give them any favors, and it was not surprising that the soldiers and horses of these two towns ignored them.

It's just that now the battle situation is tense, Xiao Ruxun is anxious to clean up the last Beiyu army, you know, he gritted his teeth and hated the culprit of the Beiyu's southward movement, the king of Shunyi, who was besieged in the hot spring town, and he was still waiting to kill the Beiyusheng and capture Lik to sacrifice to the emperor, but these guys actually cowered!

"Bastard!"

After being prevaricated again, Xiao Ruxun was eating, and after hearing the news, he smashed the rice bowl in his hand to the ground.

He only felt that there was a black emotion spreading in his heart.

Li Rusong on the side really couldn't stand it, but he also understood why Xiao Ruxun had to wait for the army to be ready before going to war.

Because it would be a pity if the big fish was let go, so it would definitely not be easy to fight unless it was in a foolproof state, and now it will be able to consume the combat power of the northern captives in a while, and it will be more than one stone.

But the soldiers and horses in Yulin and Taiyuan were too much.

I called you to share the merits of the war, but you didn't come!

"Admiral, just let the last general lead the troops to arrest the two general soldiers, directly take over the military power, and then beat him! How could you delay the fighter for those two rats who were cowering? ”

Xiao Ruxun frowned and sighed.

"In the end, I am just the identity of the admiral, there is no imperial edict, they don't recognize this so-called acting governor, they don't believe that I will be the governor at all, they are here, because they are afraid of being implicated in the past, they want to come to inquire about the news, but now the order to me is of course yang and yin, and they can prevaricate."

Li Rusong said dissatisfiedly: "Are you just waiting for the bird governor who doesn't know who it is to come and pick peaches?" We finally caught up with the northern captives and surrounded here, this is the credit of our brothers, it is already superfluous to distribute it to those fools, how can we let the governor who doesn't know who it is to take advantage? ”
