Chapter 297: Call for help
General Cao Xun was drinking with Liu Daozhen, and now when he heard Yin Chengqi arrive outside the mansion gate, the two were shocked, glanced at each other, and immediately opened the door and introduced the other party into the mansion.
The wine on the case has not been withdrawn, Yin Chengqi smiled, pointed to the sake on the case and said: "General, now the governor has won consecutive battles in Hanzhong, and in less than a few months, he has successively recovered Nanzheng and Yangxian counties, and now he is confronting the Qing army on the front line of Ziwu Town.
At this critical moment, such an unbelievable thing happened in our Sichuan, and the Sichuan Xingdu commanded Yang Zhanyang to be killed by Li Gande, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others.
The general and General Yang Zhanyang used to be like brothers, how can they drink here now? ”
Cao Xun was slightly stunned, looked at the other party with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "General Senator, you, you said that Yang Lin defeated the Qing army again?" ”
Yin Chengqi smiled, sat opposite Liu Daozhen, took a sip of the teacup, and said: "My lord is mighty and brave, good at training, brave in battle, my soldiers of the three armies of the Volunteer Army use their lives, and the Qing army is undefeated?" ”
Immediately talking about the battle of Hanzhong, Cao Xun and others asked again and again, and only in the end did they feel a little relieved.
Seeing that the other party's face was slightly soothing, Yin Chengqi said straight into the door: "General Cao, Yang Du commanded the unprovoked victimization, and the general now knows what to do." ”
Cao Xun picked up the wine glass, stood up and took a few steps back and forth, stopped and said: "Yuan Tao, Wu Dading Yao Huang was born, there are many outlaws around him, and now there is the will of the imperial court, what can I do?"
Yuan Taowu made a big decision to say that Yang Zhan was in turmoil, and there was a clear decree of the imperial court. ”
Liu Daozhen shook his head and said, "The will of the imperial court? Now the imperial court is controlled by Liu Tieba, and only the edict is issued, so there is a will of the imperial court?
Since the beginning of the army, General Yang Zhan first blocked the southern attack of the Great Western Army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and then led his troops to pursue the Liukou together with Yang Lin, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and now he led the troops to go deep into the territory of Yunnan. ”
Cao Xun shook his head and said: "The world is uneven, what if the world is uneven?"
Yang Lintian is talented, if he defeats the Tartars, of course, he can return to Shichuanzhong, and when the time comes, he will take Li Gande and Yuan Taowu Dading to open the knife, of course I have nothing to say. ”
Yin Chengzhu said with a smile: "The general often prides himself on being a Confucian general, so you should know that Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde fought for Hanzhong back then." ”
Cao Xun said with a smile: "Although the old man doesn't read much, he has also heard storytelling.
After Yang Lin's soldiers attacked Hanzhong this time, the old man thought about it carefully, and the victory or defeat was about five or five. ”
Yin Chengqi poured himself a drink, looked at the other party without looking at each other, and said: "Cao Cao led his troops to fight for Hanzhong that day, how did Liu Bei and Liu Xuande evaluate this matter?" ”
Cao Xun didn't react, and Liu Daozhen, who was born as a person, lit up and said, "In vain, do you mean that the Tartars will work in vain?"
How is it possible, there are many Tartars this time, and Yang Lin has no chance to defeat the other party at all. ”
Yin Chengqi smiled: "Yang Lin has no chance to defeat the Tartars, but does the Tartars have a chance to defeat the Volunteers?" ”
Cao Xun and Liu Daozhen were shocked and asked the reason again and again.
Yin Chengqi said with a smile: "The terrain of Hanzhong is dangerous, the transportation of grain and grass is difficult, and today's situation is almost the same as the situation of Shu Han fighting for Hanzhong.
On the battlefield, the volunteers have the advantage, why not defeat the other party in one fell swoop and occupy the entire territory of Hanzhong, the two sides are really evenly matched, and the adults want to avoid heavy casualties.
On that day, the adults wanted to send a strong team to enter Guanzhong through the plank road, so it was inevitable that the heroes in Guanzhong would rise accordingly.
At that time, the Lord will lead the army to press, so that the Qing army will definitely be defeated.
When the plan was being implemented, who would have expected such a change in Sichuan, the adults hesitated, and they didn't know for a while. ”
Cao Xun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is powerful, such as today's tenth, it has already occupied seven points, and now it is blocked by the Han River, it is completely possible to transfer naval troops from other places, as long as it can cross the Han River, so Yang Lin will definitely be defeated." ”
Liu Daozhen stood up and said, "Having said that, the thousands of miles of grain transporters are hungry, and they can't last long no matter what." ”
Yin Chengqi smiled: "Can't it last long?
As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, the Tartar army went deep into the hinterland of Hanzhong, and the soldiers and horses needed to gather the grain and grass from the pass, so that not only the road was far away, the thousands of miles of food and grain soldiers were hungry, and the more they passed was the post road, and the loss was bound to be far above the volunteers.
Even so, we can also contact our allies, Wang Guangxing, He Zhen, Liu Tichun and other troops control the middle and lower reaches of Han, as long as we send envoys to contact, the other party promises to send troops, so the balance of the sky will inevitably be broken, and the Qing army will be defeated. ”
Thinking about the various historical rumors of the struggle between Shu and Wei in history, and thinking of the scene of seeing the Volunteers besieging and annihilating Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County in the Qing Dynasty, Cao Xun was shocked in his heart, and shook his head again and again: "Having said that, but now the four (Sichuan) are in chaos, and now Yuan Tao and Wu Dading lead the troops to attack the remnants of Yang Zhan, Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai led the troops to besiege Chong (Qing), and Zunyi Wang Xiang is even more impatient.
Now Yang Lin's defense is unstable, and a little carelessness may be like Guan Yu's defeat of Maicheng that day. ”
Yin Chengqi shook his head and said: "Yuan Tao Yao Huang was born and now although he has taken refuge in the official army, he has long been notorious for killing famous generals in Sichuan.
Although Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai are numerous and powerful, and there are many soldiers, most of them are just rabble, and now they accept Zhu Rongfan's false position, almost rebellious.
Although Wang Xiang is strong in martial arts, he was only a family member of Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, in the past, and what he planned was just a small profit.
There are so many people, but they are just clowns who jump off the beam, and they are not enough to succeed and more than to lose. ”
Cao Xun thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Even so, it is still possible for these people to destroy the adults' plans." ”
Yin Chengqi said with a smile: "The general is a big mistake, these people not only have not succeeded enough, but also failed to succeed." Even if the three of them rebelled at the same time, not to mention that the people in central Sichuan did not agree, even the volunteers could not be shaken.
General, please think about it, although the Volunteer Army made a large-scale northern expedition this time, it left Yang Wei's 2nd Association to garrison the front line of Shunqing Chongqing, and Ma Mingluan's 9th Association to garrison the first line of CD.
Now after hearing that there was an accident in Kawanaka, he made the Dragon Frame 3rd Association return to the defense CD.
With these three strong teams, even if all the towns in central Sichuan are opposed, they can also ensure the safety of the rear. ”
Cao Xun was shocked, leaned forward and said, his voice trembled: "You, you said that the 3rd Association of the Dragon Frame has returned to the division?"
Unlike other ministries, Yang Lin often coordinates the 1st Association and the 3rd as the Chinese Army, but he can't imagine that he has returned to Shichuan Province now?
On that day, when they heard that Yang Lin had transferred the 4th town (division) to Hanzhong, everyone thought that the war in Hanzhong was surprising, so they dared to act recklessly. ”
Seeing that the other party was tempted, Yin Chengqi continued: "General, the old man dares to say that even if Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Yuan Taowu, and Dading attack at the same time, they can ensure that the rear is worry-free, this is not a big word.
The strength of our volunteer army lies not in the three soldiers and horses of the 2nd, 3rd, and 9th associations in central Sichuan, but also in the local regimental training.
Adults started as local soldiers, and since they became officials, they have paid more attention to the construction of local soldiers.
Each township under the rule has established a township office, and each township has more than 100 soldiers, which is not a rabble of embroidered pillows, but a truly trained soldier.
Come to think of it, the Volunteers now control the prefectures of CD), Zunqing, Shunqing, Boryeong, Longan, and Tongchuan, and nearly 100 prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction, and can concentrate tens of thousands of militias at any time.
If Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Yuan Taowu, and Dading come to attack, each county only needs to gather local troops and can completely protect itself.
Although Wu Dading, Yuan Tao, Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Wang Xiang and other clowns can jump, what can they jump? ”
Cao Xun was shocked when he heard this, beads of sweat left from his cheeks one by one, and his voice was worried: "General Senator, Yang Du's commander was killed, and I am also very sad.
But no one took the lead to quell the rebellion, and now listening to what the General Senate said, the sword mountain is in the sea of fire, and only the adults are the first to look forward. ”
Yin Chengqi immediately took out the official document of the governor's yamen, and took out the seal of the commander of the four (Sichuan) Xingdu that had just been carved (originally printed in Yang Zhan's office, which was captured by Wu Dading) and officially appointed Cao Xun as the commander of the Sichuan Xingdu.
Cao Xun's seal ribbon, thought for a while and said: "General Staff, I intend to send troops, but there is not enough food and grass for years of war, do you want to supply some grain and grass." ”
Yin Chengqi repeatedly admonished, but Cao Xun just didn't want to take the lead in crusading against the traitors.
Ten days later, news came from the CD that Yang Wei had defeated Li Zhanchun and forced him to retreat.
Since the Volunteers captured Chong (Qing) Mansion City at the beginning of the year, Zeng Ying's generals Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai were quite reluctant.
Now that I heard that Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others led their troops to kill Yang Zhan, the entire four (Sichuan) suddenly lost blood and rain, and felt that they had found an opportunity.
Li Zhanchun Yu Dahai claimed to be the general of the prison country and the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and led more than 30,000 people to approach Chong (Qing), and gathered troops and horses from the south of Fuling Point, demanding that the volunteers return to Chong (Qing) Mansion, and its vanguard occupied Fotu Pass and approached the city of Chongqing.
At this time, Chen Huaixi led the naval army down the river to Chaotianmen, and after seeing the volunteer reinforcements arrive, the rebels burned and retreated.
In such a stalemate for several days, on this day, Yang Wei led his troops out of the city to fight, and the two sides fought together, and when it was inseparable, Long Zhijiao led the 3rd Association to cross the Jialing River and kill from behind.
Yang Wei took the opportunity to attack, the rebels were defeated, everyone took the road and fled, Yang Wei and Long Zhijian joined forces, and the pursuit was a hundred miles away before stopping.
Hearing the news of Li Zhanchun's defeat in the sea, Cao Xun did not dare to delay any longer, and three days later, he ordered his troops and horses to kill Jiading Mansion (Leshan today).
The rebels who were besieging Jiading Zhisuo Leshan County hurriedly led their troops to withdraw, and Cao Xun and others led their troops to chase after them, and the two sides fought for three days in a row, each with a victory or defeat.
At the critical moment, Ma Mingluan led the 9th Association to join the battle group, and suddenly launched an attack on the rebels from behind, and the rebels were defeated, thus lifting the siege of Jiading Mansion by the rebels.
In the name of the Yamen, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, Yin Chengqi appointed Gong Wanjing as the governor of Jiading Prefecture and Yang Rongfang, the general of Yang Zhanbu, as a guerrilla general.
After that, everyone merged together and marched to Xuzhou Mansion, the rebels were defeated, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Fan Yixuan, and the general soldier Zhao Ronggui, who were detained by it, took the opportunity to attack and led the soldiers and horses to respond.
In December of this year, they successively recovered the Xuzhou Prefecture and Luzhou Prefectures occupied by the rebels, and expelled the rebels from Sichuan Province in one fell swoop.
