Chapter 157: Discord
Yang Ho's thoughts are irrelevant...... The first auxiliary party was continuously urged by Zhe and his own soldiers, and Emperor Wanli himself was also inclined to use troops immediately...... Last year, the emperor changed the holy edict of "prevention and suppression" to "clear and suppress", that is, from the initial defense to the active use of troops.
The wind on the head of the city is very strong, the strong north wind from the middle of the city tower and the gap keep blowing over, Yang Hao's red robe hem keeps blowing, he feels a burst of cold blowing on his body, just after the afternoon, the sun has soon sunk to the horizon, as if the cold feeling of deep winter is pressing back, Yang Hao knows, after dark, the muddy land in front of him will freeze as hard as iron, there is still hoarfrost after midnight, and then climb the city tower at dawn to look, The land was hard, the trees and the thatched roofs were white, and people did not go out at this time, except for a few people who lived near the city gates to work for short periods, peasants drove donkey carts into the city to collect dung, or porters brought firewood and grass into the city to sell.
At this time, Yang Hao saw two teams of people galloping from the two official roads, the two teams were far away first, like ants in Yang Hao's eyes, and then gradually got closer, you can see that each team is composed of more than 20 cavalry, without a banner, Yang Hao can't see which general is leading his own soldiers to come, he originally planned to go downstairs directly, but now he decided to wait a little longer.
The people who were galloping from the north to the official road were closer, and soon galloped to the vicinity of the horse wall, and gradually became clear after bypassing a few forts and the horse wall, at this time a sharp-eyed colonel whispered to Yang Haoyu: "Master Inspector, here is He Shixian, the deputy chief military staff officer in charge of Liaoyang." ”
Yang Hao nodded slightly, he was still looking at the other way, and the staff next to him said: "This must be the return of General Du from Fushun Pass." ”
He Shixian is a military general who is ready to be used in Qinghe Pass on the South Road, the commander is Li Rubai, and he is also Yang Hao's most trusted general, He Shixian's department is the elite of Liaozhen, and the core is his family brought over from the northwest.
In addition to being brave and brave, he can fight against a hundred, He Shixian has always been strong and brave, always rushing to kill when encountering the enemy, and his courage is not under Juniper.
Jun Song is known as Du Taishi, is also a family of generals, as a member of the army, in the northwest town like to fight shirtless with the set of Kou, he is brave, holding a heavy knife of lacquer gold, the enemy rushes to kill in front, the arms are black, known as Du Heizi, more than 100 battles and invincible, his tactics are also the standard Ming army generals to the Mongols' tactics, the enemy led the pro-army to ride lightly, attacked and attacked, defeated the enemy and won, as long as the courage and courage are invincible.
Yang Ho did not trust Juniper, in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli when Juniper replaced Li Chengliang to guard Liaodong, the war was unfavorable, in a rage, self-immolation, burning the army grain and grass, because of this matter was impeached and dismissed, Juniper went to post soon Yang Ho patrolled Liaodong, he knew Juniper very well, knew that this person was just a brave man, but looked around, the generals who led the troops were almost exactly the same, as long as the famous ones were brave, the famous generals of the dynasty no longer had Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou such wise and brave generals.
Both groups were in a hurry to enter the north gate, and it was getting late, and soon it would be dark, and after running for a long time on the way, everyone was cold and hungry, and was anxious to return to the city and go to their apartments to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
Everyone is in a hurry to come back, Yang Hao issued military orders in a row, mobilized generals above the guerrilla level of garrison from all walks of life to come to the Shenyang meeting, the arrow is on the line, almost had to be issued, even if Yang Hao still wants to work hard to hold on a little longer, at least it is time to blow the wind with these generals who command the army.
Both men and horses crowded at the city gates, and people on both sides scolded each other in a northwestern accent.
He Shixian was born in the Northwest General, of course, his personal soldiers were brought from the Northwest, and Juniper was also in the Northwest for a long time, and there were many children from Northern Shaanxi among the personal soldiers.
Juniper wore a purple cloak, a cold mountain armor, and his horse was a rare horse, and the famous golden knife hung from the pocket on the side of the horse's belly.
During the period of presiding over the defense of Fushun Pass, Juniper was brave and enterprising, and repeatedly attacked the villages where the Jurchens farmed on the border, killing many people, of course, this also attracted the revenge of the Jurchens, and the sentinels on both sides encountered many times and injured each other.
In this kind of small-scale cavalry battle, the Ming army was not only not afraid of the Jurchens, but also had quite an advantage.
In the battle of Shenyang, He Shixian led his family to fight with the Eight Banners, He Shixian himself killed dozens of people, and the personal martial arts of the Ming army generals and Jiading even surpassed the white swing tooth.
These skirmishes gave Juniper a boost of confidence, and he was determined to make himself a higher commander of the future and even to the rest of the Ming army on the battlefield.
Because of these ideas, even if it was Ma Lin or Li Rubai who came to the city gate first, or Liu Ling, Wang Xuan, Zhao Mengxuan, and Juniper, they would never give in.
He Shixian's face was very ugly, he was not wearing armor, he was wearing the robe of a second-class military attaché, and he was also wearing a purple cloak behind him, and in the pocket on the side of the horse of his war horse were two heavy iron whips, his arm strength was amazing, and it was not difficult to wield a heavy iron whip, Juniper's official position was higher than him, he was only a general and a deputy chief soldier, but Juniper was a general soldier, if Juniper was humble and friendly, he could call He Shixian advanced, He Shixian would wait in the urn city, and then say a few words to Juniper before saying goodbye, This incident made He Shixian feel very embarrassed, but unfortunately he had no choice, if Jun Song reported to the Imperial Governor, or impeached him with this matter, he would be a sure loser.
He Shixian hesitated for a moment, and said to his subordinates in a cold and hard voice: "Get out of the way, tell them to go first, and you won't be able to die if you are late." ”
Juniper entered the city first surrounded by his subordinates, and at the city gate, he glanced coldly at He Shixian.
"Master General, our nest is really suffering."
The temper of the people in northern Shaanxi is not very good, and after Du Song and others entered the city gate, He Shixian's personal soldiers became a pot of porridge.
"Don't worry." He Shixian sneered: "He Du is a madman who wants to be a handsome man and make the first contribution, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see." ”
……
The farce under the city gate was all seen by Yang Hao, he didn't say anything, he made a look, his personal soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, and left with Yang Hao in the arms of his staff.
In the evening, Yang Hao wrote two posts and asked them to be sent to Li Rubai and He Shixian's apartment in the city, inviting the two generals to his residence for dinner, and at the same time he explained the kitchen and prepared some dishes that the Northwest people loved to eat.
A confidant whispered: "Dong Weng seems to have decided to support General Li?" ”
Yang Hao shook his head and said: "Juniper is unruly, so I have to appease Li Rubai and He Shixian, as well as Ma Lin and others, and let him take a step, and this person will be the chief soldier of the West Road." ”
The staff said: "The East Road is the chief soldier of the big sword Liu Ren?" ”
Yang Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light, he once had a grudge with Liu Ling for small reasons, both sides had no desire and idea of reconciliation, Liu Ling was still very young at that time, his father was also a general soldier who had been famous for many years, the Liu family was very powerful in the southwest, and there were many families, so he didn't put Yang Hao in his eyes, now Liu Ling has been a veteran for many years, experienced, and actually qualified to be the commander of the West Route Army, but Yang Hao has decided to put Liu Ling on the East Road, where from Liangma to the side, the road is full of dense forests and valleys, and the road is very difficult to walk, Moreover, the Ming army has withdrawn from Kuandian for more than ten years, and the road from top to bottom is not familiar, it is difficult for Liu Ling to make meritorious contributions, and even he will be late for the time limit, Yang Hao's selfish plan is to make Liu Ling make mistakes, and then he can lock Liu Ling up first, and then impeach Liu Ling for missing the time limit, and ask him to be beheaded.
Yang Hao didn't tell anyone about this plan, but his henchmen and staff would always see something, Yang Hao's handwritten orders, as well as official official documents, documents, and folds, etc., were all taken care of by them, and everyone knew Yang Hao's plans.
After dark, Li Rubai arrived in a sedan chair first.
He was born in the general, but he is far from being a tiger, he has no record in this life, but he is sitting in the position of the chief military officer by relying on his father's Yu Yin, and he also has a younger brother in the court who is the governor of Jinyi Weidu, and he is also a figure with real power, the Li family still has many protégés in Liaodong, and the Li family still has tens of thousands of acres of land, Li Rubai enjoys wealth and wealth, married more than 20 concubines, and the war in front of him is also his biggest concern in the near future...... Li Rubai knew that Jianzhou Jurchen was very strong, and Nuerhachi was not a ruthless character who was easy to get along with, he just wanted to guard the border and be safe with the Jurchens, and he didn't want to bother to conquest, in case of failure, the wealth of the Li family in the past few decades may disappear, he didn't care about the victory or defeat of the war, the most important thing was the strength of the Li family and his existing wealth and enjoyment.
When he got off the sedan chair, Li Rubai looked at the situation in the courtyard, only to see the leopard tail gun squad standing on both sides of the road, the banners of the three armies flying high, and the supervisor in the middle of the hall.
When Li Rubai arrived at the second gate, Yang Hao stepped out to greet him, he and Li Rubai have known each other for many years, when Li Rubai was still in the prime of life, more than ten years have passed, and both of them have gray sideburns.
