Chapter 134: Ignite the Fire
After receiving the official documents from Liao Qifang, Ma Mingluan and others, Yang Lin looked at it briefly, then handed it to the people around him, and closed his eyes and pondered.
Yin Chengqi looked at it and didn't say anything, and after reading it, the right capital of the next head, Ying Rui, looked quite dissatisfied and said: "My lord, this, although this Ma Mingluan is familiar with military books, but he is not a general, you see, just led the troops and lost fifty or sixty people, if the news is transmitted back to Guang'an Prefecture, it will definitely be full of public sentiment." ”
Yang Lin secretly pondered to himself, this Chen Yingrui was too arrogant, he hung him for a while, and there was no one in his eyes until now.
opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Chen Dusi, then you, how should this battle be fought?" ”
Chen Yingrui pondered to himself, and said with a smile: "Of course it should be attacked at night, the volunteers are good at night attacks, and the local tyrants are mixed, if they are raided, they will inevitably fall apart."
Look at it, this Ma Mingluan is so arrogant, he actually set up an ambush in the scattered land, I don't know how to read this military book? ”
Yang Lin didn't bother to open his mouth to respond, but Yin Chengqi next to him kept explaining that whether it was a night attack or an ambush, the main purpose was to launch an attack when the other party was the most defenseless.
This Qili Gorge is a mountain on one side, the road bypasses from the foot of the mountain, the terrain is almost scattered, and the local rioters are not guarded at all.
Besides, the local tyrants coerced the displaced people, coerced the people, and carried the looted grain and grass, so that although they were scattered, they were almost dead.
In such an unexpected place for the opponent, launching an attack on the enemy who tied his hands and feet, this battle has not yet begun, and he has already won the opportunity and established the victory.
Although the casualties of this militia were huge, it was really because they were not well trained in the past, and a well-trained army could completely defeat an enemy several times its size, which was clearly proven in the past.
Everyone suddenly realized, and one by one claimed yes. But what is annoying is that Chen Yingrui is still quite unconvinced.
Yang Lin has no choice, now the army of rogues is pressing, and he is stretched.
The Great Western Army is different from other rogues, very good at field warfare, Zhang Xianzhong led the Great Western Army to crisscross the world for decades, one by one has been on the battlefield for a long time, far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers and horses.
In addition, the Great Western Army is also quite good at blasting the city wall, whether it is Chongqing or CD, it is to put gunpowder inside the city wall and suddenly ignite it, so as to win the victory.
Now hearing that the Liukou were about to attack Shunqing Mansion, Yang Lin ordered to strengthen the protection of the city, dig a trench under the city, and arrange a horse rejection array to prevent the other party from attacking the city and preventing the other party from blasting and attacking the city.
Just when the Great Western Army was pressing the border, a bad news came from Chongqing Prefecture, Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, and Zeng Ying, the deputy general, categorically refused to send troops to attack Hezhou.
Qian Bangxin and Zhou Zheng rushed to Chongqing Mansion five days ago to meet Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, Liu Liangchang, who participated in the politics of eastern Sichuan, and Zeng Ying, the deputy general, had not yet sat down, Zeng Ying shouted loudly that he wanted to have a competition with the volunteers.
It turned out that last time Li Zhanchun asked for food, Yang Lin claimed that Zeng Ying's department was a rabble, which made Zeng Ying, who has always regarded himself very highly, unbearable, and always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge.
Thinking of the task of this trip, Qian Bangqi only had good things to say and said non-stop, Zeng Ying said that if you want to understand, you can also understand, that is, to provide 10,000 loads of grain and grass for free.
Qian Bangqi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said the plan, didn't you capture Hezhou last time and open up the passage between the two sides?
Now, as long as you can break through the city of Hezhou in September, 10,000 loads of grain and grass will be offered together, and you will never break your promise.
Although there is no shortage of grain and grass in various departments, natural and man-made disasters are now continuous, and there are no livestock to cultivate in many places, so the harvest will fail in the coming year, and there will inevitably be a shortage of grain.
But Zeng Ying felt abnormal, a few months ago, he sent someone to beg for food and grass but didn't give it, why did he send it to the door in less than a few months.
Qian Bangqi was originally a righteous gentleman, and he was not good at lying for three or two sentences, that is, Liukou was preparing to attack Shunqing Mansion City, and now let the Ming army attack Hezhou City, but it was just to reduce the pressure on the mansion.
Zeng Ying couldn't even breathe, isn't this causing trouble?
I finally led the Great Western Army to fight back with all my might, why did I want to set myself on fire today?
Zeng Ying even called Yang Lin ungrateful, not only did he not report the merits of the day's recommendation, but the last time he borrowed grain to insult his subordinates, the grain was greatly discounted.
It's good now, temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet, and the rogue will want to bring trouble to the east, and such a detrimental act of self-interest is definitely not done by a gentleman.
Qian Bangqian insisted on pleading, hoping to see everyone send troops to rescue for the sake of the Ming army, whether it was Ma Gan, Liu Liangchang, or Zeng Ying, they didn't want to cause trouble, and in the end, they even offered a sky-high price.
That is to provide 50,000 quintals of grain and grass, otherwise everything will not be discussed.
Qian Bangxin was angry, although Yang Lin clearly said that 10,000 quintals, with past experience, if he spelled his old face, 15,000 quintals was possible.
The two sides got along for nearly half a year, and Qian Bangxin thought that he had a way to deal with Yang Lin.
But the other party offered a sky-high price of 50,000 quintals, and it was clear that he didn't want to rescue.
Qian Bangxin claimed that he would impeach Ma Gan and Zeng Ying when he saw death, and on the other hand, he said that if he didn't rescue him, he wouldn't say 50,000 quintals, even if he didn't have the 5,000 quintals.
On the same day, Zeng Ying led his troops to attack Qingqing, provoked Zhang Wenxiu to lead his troops to counterattack, in order to reduce the pressure of the Ming army, Yang Linbing went out of Hezhou to set the fire on the body, and now the Great Western Army attacked Shunqing, and the other party was indifferent.
On the one hand, Qian Bangxin sent people to complain to Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, and Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and returned to Shunqing in a gloomy manner.
Qian Bangxin scolded and scolded, and the anger in his heart was hard to dissipate.
Yang Lin smiled, not angry at all, but comforted everyone.
On the same day, Shunqing Mansion had just set Wang Inspector to lead his troops to attack the Great Western Army, and he did not know the truth of Zeng Ying's misfortune to the north, but for the sake of the overall situation, he resolutely sent troops to contain the other party.
Qian Bangqi was stunned in his heart, opened his triangular eyes and asked, "My lord, did you already expect that Ma Gan, Zeng Ying and others would definitely die and not be saved."
In that case, why did you let the old man run away like this?"
Yang Lin shook his head and said, "Lord Jianjun, I am not the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, how can I expect anything?"
Ma Gan and Zeng Ying's troops were mostly defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, although they were lucky to occupy Chongqing this time, they have been suppressed by Zhang Wenxiu, and it is of course difficult for them to send troops to rescue. ”
Qian Bangqi didn't know what to say, he had been accusing Yang Lin of this in the past, which was wrong, and now it seems that the other generals are still inferior.
was pondering, Yin Chengqi next to him thought for a while and asked: "My lord, Chen Huaixi's navy has arrived at the front line of Yilong, and is preparing to attack the disturbance Liukou, why don't you change the plan and transfer his troops back to guard against Zhang Wenxiu in the south?" ”
Yang Lin shook his head with a smile and said: "No need, relatively speaking, the pressure in the direction of Yilong is greater, Liu Jinzhong is a famous general in Sichuan, and his troops are stationed in Langzhong, and he can attack Fucheng down the river at any time.
Zhang Wenxiu downstream has just been defeated by Zeng Ying, and is now recuperating from his injuries, and this time the troops are just a bluff to lead us to divide our troops to defend.
We can let people go, claiming that Zeng Ying's department has accepted 20,000 taels of aid from our army, and sent a fine work to mix into Zhang Wenxiu's department, so that Zhang Wenxiu is too busy to take care of himself, and it is difficult to pay attention to our loyal army. ”
Everyone was puzzled, and Yin Chengqi asked, "My lord, is this okay?" ”
Yang Lin stood up and smiled bitterly, this is just a way to do it.
Last time, Zhang Wenxiu took advantage of the excitement and attacked Zeng Ying with all his might, but Zeng Ying attacked the old camp in the rear, and then changed into clothes and mixed into the army, and finally returned defeated.
Considering that Zhang Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan gathered heavy troops in Tongchuan Prefecture, there are no troops to send now, so this is the only way.
