Chapter 361: The Chess Game Laughs at the Storm

The origin of the reincarnation king is a local tyrant, and he is very indifferent to the rest of the battalions, it is nothing more than following the powerful people, the thing is so, according to the convention, the five battalions of the left are also in the same breath, and they must be rescued, but now the distance between the two sides is so far, Yingzhou is relatively safe, and it is necessary to go back to rescue when it is about to enter Henan, the two have some disputes in private.

"Lao Liu, they are trapped over there, let them go, let's go four days to enter Henan, then the sea and the sky, such a troubled year, if you take care of everything, then everyone is not good, let's go like this, presumably Lao Liu Lao He can also understand our intentions."

The reincarnation king Lin Chengcheng said that it was high-sounding, but Ma Shouying had his own insistence and said:

"People in the world look at us, always look at the five battalions of the left, I didn't say that we took it out separately, right now in Henan, King Chuang has become a momentum, let's go to vote, it must be the more capital we bring, the better, if we are two lonely in the past, what benefits can we have."

The guards and the soldiers were all kicked out of the door, and the two had no scruples when they spoke, Ma Shouying said very nakedly, and said coldly:

"Listen to the soldier who reported the news, the backbone of the three battalions in the city is still there, as long as they can be rescued, the fifth battalion of Gezuo is still a large number of people in the world, go to the king of Chuang, how can they also have the status of Liu Zongmin, the king of Chuang will personally arrange for us, if the two of us go over, I am afraid that Liu Zongmin will come forward, we will be the first to wait."

This is true, since he has made up his mind to go to Henan, it is not the day when the five battalions are free, but to plan for the future birth and status, Lin Yangcheng immediately had nothing to say, and immediately expressed his obedience to Ma Shouying's deployment, and went to Yingshang City to break the siege and rescue together.

The old Hui Hui and the reincarnation king camp moved. Almost all Nan Zhili could know that there were immediately fast horses and sentinels who were watching nearby to report to General Chen Liu.

As soon as the two battalions of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution left Yingzhou City, they sent out to the outposts and suffered heavy losses, and the news they knew could only be seen and heard by the army, and they were completely blind outside the field of vision, and the rest were completely dark.

But they also stumbled towards Yingshang, after all, it was an army of more than 100,000 people, and the scouts and sentry couldn't help them.

This area of Nanzhili is not like Henan and Shaanxi. The real dominance of the local area is the wealthy family, and these people naturally do not want to have anything to do with the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left composed of displaced people, and they all stand firmly on the side of the Jiaozhou camp, shelter the battlefield for the Huaiyang Army of the Jiaozhou Battalion, and ventilate the news.

Gao Ke, the deputy general of the Huaiyang Army, who was originally stationed in Xuzhou, led his five battalions to Hongze Lake in mid-July, and at this time followed the Huaishui all the way westward, although it went upstream. But he still passed Shouzhou and went straight to Yingshang City.

Nanjing town guard eunuch Lu Jiude lost in the text lawsuit with the Jiaozhou battalion, and the imperial court had scruples about the generals, especially the words that chilled the hearts of the soldiers in the world, and they were the most afraid. That is to connect the signal of trouble, the power of this eunuch is completely from the imperial court, but he can speak more heavily.

As a result, in July, although the world's scholars attacked Shandong Caoyun Lijindi, the attack did not stop. But the imperial court still issued an edict to reprimand Lu Jiude, saying that he should not speculate on his own, so as not to cause trouble.

Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing, was really depressed, and he, the eunuch guarding the town, should obviously be responsible for the transfer of soldiers and horses in the territory of Nanzhili, but the Huaiyang army, which occupied a quarter of the territory, did not listen to the order at all, and also harbored evil intentions, and could not be beaten. said that he was still scolded, which is really helpless.

Seeing that this Gao Ke led these five battalions to pass by the edge of Shouzhou with great momentum, Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Nanjing Town, had no choice but to strengthen his own guard and watched with horror.

However, when the news of the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the old return of Yingzhou City and the two departments of the reincarnation king came to the south, there was nothing more to say about him. Who would have thought that the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution would come back again.

This Shandong soldier is really eventful. Although it is not pleasing to the eye for you to stay in Zhengyang Town, you can stay there honestly. Why bother to besiege what Yingshang City. Waiting for those thieves to go to Henan by themselves, wouldn't everyone save trouble, and spend so much energy to surround and fight, but the ones who were about to leave were killed again, and it was boring to find themselves!

Now Henan is quiet, Li and Luo's coalition army is stationed in the west of Kaifeng City's Zhongmu rest troops, Zhang Xianzhong has gone to Huguang on the south Zhili side, and the fifth battalion of Gezuo is also thinking about going north, who would have thought that this Huaiyang army did not play cards according to common sense, and directly broke the calm situation.

The forces of all sides are about to move again......

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's millions of people were on the edge of Kaifeng City, although there was no movement, it was like a giant beast yawning there, although it was very calm, the people beside the giant beast would definitely be extremely frightened and trembling.

After the current Kaifeng City, Chen Yongfu led more than 9,000 soldiers and horses, governor Li Xianfeng, chief soldier Chen Yongfu, patrol according to Gao Mingheng plus Zhou Wangfu, everyone was scolding those waste officers and soldiers in Zhu Xianzhen, and they began to make a lot of noise, who would have thought of this appearance in the end.

As a result, Yang Wenyue ran to Runing, Zuo Liangyu and Hu Dawei ran to Fancheng, Huguangdi, and Kaifeng City had to face the threat of millions of thieves, which was really unlucky.

Although there were millions of people, the horses and horses that broke into the camp were sent to the areas of Chenzhou and Xiangcheng in the south of Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion to see what the Shandong soldiers and horses were doing.

At present, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai are both judging that Kaifeng Mansion has been defeated, and there is only one Kaifeng City left, which is the top five cities in the world, is it the bottom line of Shandong's soldiers and horses? I remember that I didn't react to any movement in Henan and Shandong, but as soon as I besieged Kaifeng, Shandong immediately mobilized the army.

Moreover, the core personnel of the Chuang Battalion and Cao Cao's Battalion were all pondering, and now that the morale was high, a large number of heavy firearms were seized. The combat effectiveness of the camp and Cao Cao's camp has risen to a new level, whether it is possible to fight another battle with the opponent's Shandong soldiers and horses, and see the high and low.

But in the battle of Whirlpool, the difference in combat effectiveness embodied by each other was really too great, although this time it improved very quickly. But whether it has been able to bridge that gap, no one can say!

After the former Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui was appointed as the supervisor, he led 30,000 soldiers and horses from Beijing to gather troops in Fengqiu on the north bank of Kaifeng City, and joined the 20,000 Jin soldiers led by Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Shanxi.

Not to mention that many of the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp led out by Hou Sui were still ordinary people in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and even many of them were simply homeless people in the market. This time it is tantamount to being forcibly arrested, morale is low, and martial arts are sparse.

The Shanxi soldiers and horses are not those experienced border soldiers in Datong for a long time, and the old border soldiers followed the superintendent Lu Xiangsheng when they entered the Manchu Dynasty, most of them were killed and injured in Julu, and the rest were taken to the outside of the pass by Hong Chengchou and lost all in Songshan.

The officers and soldiers of Shanxi are not much stronger than those of the Beijing battalion, and the 10,000 Huaiyang troops on the Nanzhili side dare to fight to the death with the fifth battalion of the revolutionary left that is ten times their own. But here, on the other side, only more than 10,000 people led by Li Guo were active and acted as the front team of early warning, but these 50,000 officers and soldiers did not dare to cross the river at all.

A letter from Kaifeng City kept sending people to Beijing, crying and begging the imperial court to send troops to relieve the siege and rescue. Emperor Chongzhen and the ministers in the court sent the wills and documents to the camp of Hou Sui in Fengqiu in accordance with the procedures, urging Hou Sui to send troops to cross the south bank of the Yellow River as soon as possible to rescue Kaifeng.

Why did you use this household Shangshu Hou Sui, but Zuo Liangyu started back then, and it all relied on the support of this Hou Sui. Although Zuo Liangyu has suffered heavy losses at present, he is still the most powerful officer and soldier in the Central Plains, and the imperial court hopes to use the relationship between Hou Sui and Zuo Liangyu to mobilize these generals who do not obey orders.

But the crime of this Hou Sui being imprisoned was not because he angered Emperor Chongzhen's stubbornness, or because of common party disputes, but because he committed the crime of greedy ink in Shangshu's office, which is what he was imprisoned for, and he has never had any local political achievements. The merit of leading the army, purely one is to dare to speak, so as to be empty words; The second is that it is right to stand in line, and when the party fights, it is always brave to be in the front, which is why it has come to such a high position step by step. However, with his high position, coupled with the strength of the party members, he can be imprisoned for corruption. You can imagine how dark his hands are.

Such a person is both in ability and conduct. It was a joke to put him in the position of Overseer, hoping that he would go to the rescue or make the war a little better. Unless the sun comes out of the west.

As a result, he came to this Fengqiu, in addition to seeing his son's letterhead every day, that is, drinking and having fun, waiting for the Shanxi soldiers and horses to converge, the supervisor Hou Sui is very proud of his son Hou Fangyu, this Hou Fangyu is known as a big talent, and now he is studying in the south of the Yangtze River, traveling widely, and his fame is moving Jiangzuo, but this fame is more on the Qinhuai River, and he has the name of a merry and talented man.

In recent years, Henan has been in turmoil, the arms are connected, and those poor mud legs have rebelled, causing the gentry to be ruined.

But the hometown of Guide, these years are okay, although that Li Zhenhai is a thief, but he did not dare to harm a big family like Shangshufu, there are a lot of fields in Shangshu Mansion over the years, in recent years, Guide has been greatly developed water conservancy, and the food can even catch up with the day of no disaster, the family treasury is rich, and his son is angry, of course, Lord Shangshu is old and relieved. Originally, I wanted to try my best to make more money this time, and then I would return to Deyi to raise my days, or go to Jiangnan to see the Yangzhou thin horse in the child's letter, Qin Huai was romantic, but he was sued and put in prison.

Fortunately, the sky will not destroy me, but I have this opportunity to go south to lead the troops. Thinking about it this way, when he received Zuo Liangyu, it was also a good move, but unfortunately now Zuo Liangyu is domineering, and whether he can still make a move with his old friendship back then is still two words. Especially when he treated him at the beginning, he was not gentle and lingering, but a little tyrannical.

The will of the imperial court urged, this Hou Sui was anxious, so he had to try to order the crossing of the river, who wanted to give the order of the first day, saying that it was the next day to cross the river, but at night a large number of soldiers deserted, and there were mutinies at the head of several camps. Uncles are supposed to list names to mix up some money, who the sells your life for you, can you afford to serve? Even Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi, couldn't suppress his camp, camped everywhere, and finally made a wish, and coercion, so he barely pressed it down, and almost made a big mess, but even so, he went to three stops in ten stops, and the rest of the land had to rely on his own soldiers to desperately monitor, so he didn't run away. How can such a soldier fight?

I have to say that most of the forbidden armies in the past dynasties were mostly impostors and hooligans. Relying on bribes to enter the camp and receive food and salary, anyway, it was obtained for nothing, and there was no need to order or practice. At that time, the Shence Army of the Tang Dynasty was also a strong soldier, subduing the feudal towns and fighting against Tibet. It was very powerful, but before the world was stable, a large number of children of wealthy families in Chang'an came in, except for setting fire to and looting in Chang'an City during the coup.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses under his command were scattered and there was still some kind of rescue, after Hou Sui and Xu Dingguo discussed, he played Emperor Chongzhen, saying that the situation in Henan was already erosive. The thief is like this, it must be treated carefully, Kaifeng City is a strong city in the world, and there are red-clothed cannons, and the waterway has not been cut off. The food and salary are sufficient, and he has been besieged several times in the past, and the Son of Heaven is Shengming, and the soldiers use their lives. It's all bad luck, and this time it must be able to support it.

Since this is the case, Kaifeng City on the south bank of the Yellow River is not in danger for the time being, so it is better to send people to Shanxi and Shaanxi to collect border soldiers and horses, strengthen the strength, and wait until there is enough strength, and then cross the river to attack, and break into the thieves and garrisons under the fortified city at the right time. The soldiers are tired and sick, and they just gather and annihilate them, so that they can be very completely sure.

Of course, the current Kaifeng City is in danger, since the soldiers and horses of Fengqiu can not cross the river to rescue, then you can use a compromise method, what to do in the past Kaifeng City in distress, Shandong soldiers and horses crossed the river. This time it's better to follow the old example. Sending Shandong soldiers and horses to come here is not the best of both worlds.

Whether it is a military general. Whoever leads the troops outside, the autonomy is a little greater, and the supervisor Hou Sui said this, but since the time of the war in Zhuxian Town, the Shandong soldiers and horses have found all kinds of reasons not to send troops, and the court no longer expects to be able to move.

But when Hou Sui served as the head of the household department that day, he had a lot of connections in the court, and when he was imprisoned, he was very strict in his tone, and he took some responsibility for others, this person is a lot, this time he played, there were people who helped to say, Emperor Chongzhen was in a dizzy state at this time, as long as the ministers below said a little truth, he was allowed.

As a result, Hou Sui and Xu Dingguo each sent people to Shaanxi and Shanxi to collect the border soldiers, and the border soldiers in Shanxi were collected by the imperial court and the displaced people one after another.

In the history without Li Meng, the supervisor Hou Sui led the soldiers and horses of Beijing, Shanxi, and Shandong to the north bank of the Yellow River, but there was no battle, and all the soldiers and horses in Shanxi were scattered in one day and one night, and the Beijing camp was also scattered nearly half, only Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses in Shandong were still there, but they were also hesitant to fight.

At that time, what Hou Sui could do was to play the imperial court, saying that "the minister's place is called the Seven Towns, and the total number of soldiers is only tens of thousands, so for the sake of today, if you stick to the north bank and abandon the land south of the river to entrust it."

That history that has not changed, and today, although the form is different, but in fact the result is no different, fortunately, Li Meng only knows the major events in history, but he doesn't know these details, if he knows that he has changed the world so much, but what should happen still happens, I don't know what he will think in his heart.

Of course, he didn't expect that Hou Sui would think of doing this, but it was actually the seed he planted. Shangshu Mansion is a wealthy family in Guide, and in the previous battle of Vortex Water, several relatives of Hou Shangshu were also in the battle, so Hou Shangshu also knew a lot about Shandong soldiers and horses, so he thought of this one. Moreover, with a human spirit like Hou Shangshu, maybe in these clues, he also smelled some different air. The next idle here may not be a good move.

It is still the water pavilion on the shore of Daming Lake, the sky is cloudy and rainy, the air is very sultry, even if it is the water pavilion of this cool place, sitting in it is also sweating.

However, at this time, Li Meng's mood was better than a few days ago, Sun Chuanting's iron mask was replaced by a bamboo mask, there are guards and clerical tents in this water pavilion, and people keep coming to ask for instructions, document approval, intelligence analysis, after all, people come and go, and they can't be idle.

In this weather, Sun Chuanting was wearing a bamboo mask and it was also stuffy, sweat flowed down the cracks, and from time to time he turned his back and lifted the mask, wiping his sweat with a hand towel.

"Mr. Gongsun, the weather in this Jinan Fucheng is much worse than that of Jiaozhou, at this time, Lingshanwei has several places near the sea, but they are all very cool, and when we are free, let's go over, don't suffer here in summer."

In all fairness, compared to modern times, the city of Jinan in this era is actually not so hot, but Li Meng has been adapting to the climate of this era for more than ten years, and when he came to Jinan, this relative comparison naturally makes him feel uncomfortable.

Hear Li Meng's small talk. Sun Chuanting smiled, put the mask on his face, and replied with a smile:

"Don't say such things, Dashuai, there will be more busy times in the future, I'm afraid that when I think of today, I wonder why I was so leisurely that day."

Everyone in the room laughed along with the haha, and now Li Meng is already the identity of General Zhendong, and he will be even busier in the future. These words are really good prayers and good wishes, everyone is clinging to Li Meng's big tree, if Li Meng is great in the future, everyone will also follow the tide to rise, everyone is happy.

It has been a while since Sun Chuanting changed the title of "adult" to "handsome", and today's joke is like this, which indeed shows that Mr. Sun's mood has changed.

I am so happy today, but it is Sun Chuanting's second son who has achieved excellent evaluation in the training of the Dengzhou Army. This excellent evaluation is the highest evaluation of the soldier's daily performance evaluation, and only the soldiers with this evaluation have the opportunity to be selected into the pro-military camp, and then the non-commissioned officers and officers sit on it step by step.

Sun Chuanting's second son is a half-grown son, looking at this very innocent and childish person, since the Sun family was brought to Shandong. Every day, he watched the training of the pro-military camp and was fascinated, and after he stabilized, he begged to go out to be a soldier, although Sun Chuanting could go into battle to fight. It can also be regarded as a great talent in both civil and military affairs.

But after all, he was born as a civil official, and his own children were still going to teach him to read and know etiquette, but he was already in this situation, and he didn't know what the future would be, and there was no point in blocking him, so he agreed.

Because he couldn't use his original name, he asked for a name from Li Meng's side, and he was directly regarded as the son of a big family in Dengzhou. Zhao Neng, the general of Dengzhou, received the battalion under his command, the children of such officials and eunuchs, firstly, they were well nourished when they were young, secondly, they were smart and insightful, and thirdly, Sun Chuanting was regarded as half a general, and they could be regarded as family history.

What's more, the Sun family's style is not floating, and the children in the family are very real, and the same is true for the second child of the Sun family. I went to the army and started as an ordinary soldier. Solid practice, soon to stand out. was rated as excellent, and such good seedlings should be cultivated.

Sun Chuanting, who received the news, was still worried about what the other party had to take care of, and after inquiring, he found that his son had worked hard, and this father really felt that his face was bright, and he had not broken his smile in the past few days. In addition, his eldest son is also in a similar situation, and he is currently working under Master Ning's curtain, which is also quite well received, and will be reused in the future.

By the way, since he is Sun Chuanting's son, of course he can't use his original name, so Li Meng gave two fake names, and the names are Zhongzheng and peaceful, one is called "Sun Zhong", and the other is called "Sun Shan", and I don't know what it means......

In the Water Pavilion, the documents collected from all over the country were divided into several classes according to their urgency, the first class was the news from Luanzhou and Jingshi, the second class was the news from Henan and Nanzhili, and the third class was the internal affairs of Shandong.

"Yang Chenwu used to be the captain of the fifth team of the pro-military camp, and he was the first batch to be released to be the general manager of Qian, yes, yes, he had such a plan when he was facing the enemy, and he had such courage to fight, he was a general!"

The selection of available personnel in battle is an important means of increasing the talent of officers in a military organization, and the more important it is in such an important situation near the enemy, the more a person's quality can be revealed.

Li Meng took the document that Chen Liu asked his subordinates to work on, pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice:

"Now the overall situation is chaotic, meritorious heroes will be promoted, to stimulate the morale of my Jiaozhou battalion, Henan Guide Mansion is currently several battalions and thousands of general discussions, after all, it is outside, and there must be a person who takes the general decision, this Yang Chenwu is appropriate to go there."

With this sentence, what awaits Yang Chenwu is Feihuang Tengda.

Li Meng raised his hand and waved away the guards and documents in the Water Pavilion, watching everyone leave, Sun Chuanting took off his mask, wiped his face with a handkerchief on the side, wiped away the sweat, Li Meng said in a low voice:

"The fifth battalion of the left is not worth mentioning when it comes out alone, and it only has weight in one prescription, we understand this truth, and the fifth battalion of the left also knows, I thought that we could surround these five battalions in Yingshang City, and directly exterminated Lisuo, who would have thought that the two strongest ones would have gone."

Sun Chuanting wiped his face, and when he heard this, he said:

"This situation is even better!"

"That's right, besiege the city to send reinforcements, surround Yingshang, and meet the reinforcements, but the battle report on Chen Liu's side said that the old Huihui and the reincarnation king had a team of 100,000 in their hands, and there were still 40,000 in the city, and he had 15,000 people to support him, and his self-protection was acceptable, but it was difficult to have any big victory...... In such a big battle, there is no need for the Jiaozhou battalion to bear it alone, isn't there still Lu Jiude's soldiers and horses over there? ”

Speaking of this, both of them showed knowing smiles on their faces, and Li Meng smiled:

"Mr. Sun, do you think it's better to play the urging of the imperial court, or write directly to Lu Jiude!"

"Dashuai, according to Sun's meaning, it is the most appropriate means to play directly to the court, but the old lady's side has been in the inner court for a long time, so there should be a more accurate judgment, can you reveal one or two."

Li Meng thought for a moment and replied:

"During this time, my uncle's side was in charge of the affairs of the Jingshi, and our uncle and nephew were talking about this Lu Jiude, or half a year ago, I only remember that my uncle had a judgment, saying that although Lu Jiude was a person from the Wen Yamen, he was more like a military general, and people who didn't agree with him at that time scolded him for 'Tong Guan'."

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting laughed and said with a smile:

"With the words of the big marshal, Sun Mou knows what to do, or write a letter directly to Lu Jiude, stating the benefits, he naturally understands what to do, they don't move, the Qingzhou army will move, and they can't help it."

Li Meng nodded, this matter was decided like this, he stretched out his hand and checked the proclamation from the Jingshi, but did not find what he wanted, and asked Sun Chuanting a little depressedly:

"Mr. Sun, how long does it usually take for this newspaper to be transcribed and distributed everywhere?"

Sun Chuanting was very puzzled, wondering why he suddenly asked about this......
