Five hundred men, infantry, unarmoured...... Wang Xiufeng really used me as a foot merchant

Li Wenge sat in the carriage with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth; Yi Niangyuan, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him with a pair of eyes open, and the guitar in his hand was placed diagonally on his lap, not knowing whether the general was talking to himself or talking to himself.

Li Wenge was in no mood to pay attention to her thoughts, his body swayed with the carriage on the one hand, and he was thinking about it by himself, and the iron pieces on his back armor rubbed lightly against the wall of the carriage, making a regular metallic sound......

The envoy of the Eighth Route Army, who was sitting in the carriage as when he came, did not wear civilian clothes at this moment, nor did he wear the purple court clothes, but lined with a robe that was also purple, and wore a pair of armbands on his left arm, which was embroidered with gold thread with cross-handled knots, and in the middle was a cross lined with five golden five-pointed stars—the rank that represented him as a "champion general" in the Eighth Route Army; That's not all, sitting in the carriage, the outside of the battle robe was actually covered with the Mingguang armor personally rewarded by the emperor, and the combat boots were on the feet, how weird and weird the situation was.

Liu Qingyi ranked eighth among the ten brothers of the Yishe, and he was only an eight-rank military attache in the guards and pro-army, the military attache of the forbidden army, and the eight-rank military rank of the local miscellaneous soldiers was different after all, in the Li Wenge army, the eight-rank officer was already an officer at the battalion command level, but he was not even a team leader in the guard pro-army, and he only led twelve soldiers. Liu Qingyi is also the lowest level officer even among the ten brothers, not to mention that he can't compare with Li Jixun, Shi Shouxin and others, but even with a palace official like Zhao Kuangyin.

However, it is this Liu Qingyi. leveraged the first major political tide in Zhouguanchang three years after Guangshun.

In fact, it was also by accident that Wang Jun mobilized the troops under the command of the guards and pro-army, and left Bianliang City three days ago in the name of river workers, and secretly ambushed Li Wenge. The commander of this army is Yang Fengduo, the right-hand commander of the guard's pro-army, and Wang Jun's cronies who have been promoted by himself. Liu Qingyi was one of Yang Fengduo's personal guards, and was responsible for staying in the city to monitor the movements of Li Wenge and his party in Jiebei Lane.

After all, Liu Qingyi had drunk with Li Wenge in the Iron Filings Building, and he had some friendship, although Yang Fengduo did not explicitly say why he wanted to spy on Li Wenge, but he instinctively felt that it was inappropriate. It is no small matter for the guards to be sent out to spy on a foreign feudal town. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but it happened to be Li Wenge, who was highly respected by Zhao Kuangyin and other brothers, Liu Qingyi kept an eye on it, and yesterday took advantage of Li Wenge's entry into the palace to quietly find Shi Shouxin, the second brother who served as the Marquis of Duyu in the guards. And he told him what had happened.

Shi Shouxin was a native of Bianjing, and his father had some friendship with Feng Dao in his early years, so Shi Shouxin couldn't make up his mind and led Liu Qingyi to Feng Dao's mansion.

Li Wenge was also taken aback when he first heard about this, but after hearing Liu Qingyi's explanation of Yang Fengduo's troops, he was no longer worried.

Although Wang Jun's power is great. But the transfer of 500 people is already the limit, and these 500 people are still limited to infantry, cavalry is a strategic arm in this era, and without the approval of the emperor, even with the power of the privy envoy and prime minister, it cannot be transferred casually. Otherwise, five hundred cavalry will be dispatched out of the city at once, and I am afraid that Zhang Yongde, who has just left Bianliang and Kaifeng Mansion here, will secretly report to Guo Wei.

Even if it is five hundred infantry, since it is in the name of river workers. Naturally, there is no need to wear armor. In these years, the government soldiers who prepared their own armor and weapons have long been extinct. Under the conditions of the conscription system, the armor of the central forbidden army is managed and stored in a unified manner. It will be allocated and distributed before the expedition. And Wang Jun's purpose of mobilizing the army this time was to go to the river instead of going to the front line, so naturally he didn't need to be equipped with armor. Even earth weapons such as shields and bows and arrows could not be used, and each person could only carry out the robbery mission according to the most standard equipment.

Therefore, there are Li Wenge's opening words.

With 500 unarmored infantry, he wanted to annihilate 100 armored cavalry, Wang Jun's calculation was too arrogant. Last night, Li Wenge, Han Wei, and Kang Shishi repeatedly calculated many times, no matter how they calculated, the attack and defense between the target of the robbery and the person who killed it were obvious. Although it is said that Li Wenge will have 30 carts of supplies to take care of tomorrow, and the range of mobility of the cavalry will always be relatively limited, if the equipment and combat quality of the guards are taken into account, there is still no suspense in this ambush battle.

Since he had an absolute advantage, Li Wenge had an extremely bold idea in his heart, and when he told Han Wei about this idea, even this extremely smart young man was taken aback.

"My lord, you are a border marshal, so blatantly interfering in state affairs, are you not afraid of the suspicion of the emperor and the center?"

Li Wenge's answer at the time was: "Since Wang Xiufeng has been the first year of junior high school, he must blame me for being the fifteenth!" Since he wants to kill me, I will find a reason for him to kill me, isn't it great? ”

Han Wei thought about it for a while: "My lord, you are forcing Wang Xiufeng into a corner......

Li Wenge replied: "Everyone quarrels and quarrels, but he dispatches troops and wants to fight with me, and even wants my life." This is too much deception, just with those 500 live targets that can't run and can't catch up, can they eat me quietly? It's a joke! If I'm really unreasonable, I should go straight to the door with the guards, and tonight this old thing that isn't a thing has arrived home! Now I am willing to obediently eat his bait, and I am willing to hand over his life and death to the emperor, which is already for the sake of today's face! ”

Han Wei was speechless, after all, Li Wenge was the victim in this matter, and it was understandable that he would retaliate more ruthlessly.

"Since the Lord has made up his mind, the rank will naturally obey Jun's orders!"

Li Wenge said very sincerely: "The two most important things in this matter, the first is that I don't have a copywriter by my side now, and I want to trouble Qiren Dacai to prepare a piece of music for me, and I will copy it down and forward it to Zhongshu Temple before I get up tomorrow; The second thing is to trouble the old General Ling Zun Han. ”

Han Wei is such a smart person, even if he understands his intentions, he can't help but smile bitterly: "My lord has tied up all of our Han family......

Li Wenge sneered and was silent......

……

Yang Fengduo was unlucky, and first received an unlucky and dangerous messenger. Li Wenge

If it weren't for Wang Jun's promise to promote him to replace Shi Shouxin's position and kill him, he wouldn't do it, and then his own cronies were responsible for keeping an eye on him, and now the sun is about to set, and he hasn't come back, he is worried that this kid will be discovered, and on the other hand, he is worried that this kid will go to the Si to tell the whistleblower and use his head to dye his official uniform red. Just when he was nervous, the target convoy finally appeared in the scout's field of vision, and the most unfortunate thing finally came.

The target's guards were all cavalry......

Yang Fengduo was dizzy for a while, five hundred infantry against one hundred cavalry, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng actually told himself that the manpower should be "enough".

Even if all his men and horses are wearing armor and shields. It is not half advantageous to fight against a hundred cavalry.

Theoretically, it is okay if you hide it very well, but once the two sides come into contact, in front of the cavalry equipped with archers and arrows, your own 500 soldiers will not be able to catch up with others. If you can't run away and can't run away from people, even if you are basically glued, you can nail all your people to the ground with arrows one by one from a distance.

This battle can't be fought.

The person in charge of cleaning up this guy's ambush was Zhang Guizhi, the deputy of the guards. Kang Shi divided half of the guards out to him, and left fifty people to guard the convoy, and there were dozens of carts in the convoy, as well as dozens of coachmen and porters. In addition, Lu Duan and his entourage pretended to be family members, and the number of non-combatants reached more than 70, and Kang Shi was also responsible for protecting the safety of Li Wenge and Han Wei and Luo Yiniang, two people who were incapable of fighting. Fifty people couldn't be less.

Zhang Guizhi divided the fifty people in his hands into two parts. He himself walked slowly behind with thirty soldiers. The other twenty cavalrymen were scattered, and they were scattered in groups of two. Alert and reconnoiter the enemy situation within a radius of five miles in front of the main road and two miles to the left and right.

These guards were originally elite soldiers and strong generals drawn from the cavalry scout brigade by Li Wenge, and it was their job to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and cover the battlefield, so it was as natural as eating and sleeping. So, when Li Wenge's convoy was still more than ten miles away from Yang Fengduo's ambush, Yang's troops were discovered.

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle, at first Yang Fengduo wanted to capture or kill the two cavalrymen who found him, and he even wanted to snatch the two horses down. Facts have proved that this kind of luck mentality is taboo when it comes to battle, and there are only three people in Yang Fengduo's team on horseback, one of himself, and two battalion commanders on the left and right compartments under his command.

Hiding behind the low slope, the two commanders almost had just urged their horses to step onto the official road, and then turned over and fell off their horses in the sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Judging from that voice, Yang Fengduo concluded that the opponent's land was definitely not a bow and arrow.

So the two scouts appeared in front of the ambush.

They rode on their horses, and after slowly shooting a few men, the other two groups of cavalry came up from elsewhere. So one of the horsemen went back to tell the news.

During this period, Yang Fengduo also launched one or two charges against these five cavalrymen, but the infantry began to pant after running a few hundred steps, and the other party rode on the horse, and every once in a while, he turned around and carried a weapon that was slightly shaped like a bow and arrow but at the same time a bit like a miniature version of a bed crossbow to the pursuing infantry, and almost every time one or two soldiers were knocked down.

After two or three of these games of hide and seek, Yang Fengduo had already lost seventeen soldiers. Seeing what this meant, the cavalry had the patience to annihilate an enemy force that outnumbered them a hundred times their own in this way and with speed - provided they were armed with enough bolts. Yang Fengduo no longer had the delusion to be able to attack now, he was waiting for dark.

As long as the sun goes down, you'll have a chance to ask these pesky cavalrymen.

At this time, Zhang Guizhi rushed to the battlefield with the main force of more than 30 cavalry.

The thirty cavalrymen raised the crossbow arrows in their hands at the same time, and Yang Fengduo immediately understood, looking at this formation, there was no play!

"Below is the commander of a certain unit of the guard's pro-army, please see General Li, there is a feeling!"

Yang Fengduo's behavior made Zhang Guizhi puzzled for a while, according to Kang Shi's explanation, he should start shouting and negotiating with the generals commanded by the enemy army after annihilating some of the ambush soldiers, but now before the fight started, the leader of the other party shouted, what does this mean?

Yang Fengduo didn't mean anything, he decided to surrender.

Five hundred men disarmed fifty men in this way, and the soldiers of the guards all had some unconvinced looks on their faces. It is no wonder that they did not make a single move with the enemy from beginning to end, and most of them only saw a few enemies running around on horseback, and then heard some arrows flying through the air, and then their comrades fell down and howled.

The battle was fought in a terrible way.

Yang Fengduo's surrender was not opposed by anyone, on the one hand, seeing the other party wearing armor and riding a horse with a crossbow arrow, almost all the soldiers understood that this battle could not be fought; After all, the other side is also Da Zhou's own army, even if he fights a mountain of corpses and a river of blood, there is nowhere to repay the merits.

There is nothing to be ashamed of surrendering and disarming your own people.

Yang Fengduo was brought to Han Wei by Kang Shishi.

Young commanded. Are you going to die or live? ”

Han Wei was very unceremonious, looking at Yang Fengduo with a somewhat reserved smile on his face.

Although he was not wearing an official uniform, Yang Fengduo still did not dare to slack off, and said with a wry smile: "Of course you have to live!" ”

"Attack the feudal town. This is a felony and you won't survive! ”

Han Wei's words made Yang Fengduo's face change color.

"General Li ordered that please serve the banner of the festival and behead you in the road!"

Yang Fengduo's eyes immediately darkened. This Li Wenge is also ruthless, and he kills people without asking questions......

"My lord, the lowly duty is wronged, and the lowly duty is just to do what is told. It was also ordered from above, and I asked my lord to be a general, and it was indeed unintentional to do it. Please be forgiving? ”

"If you are not guilty. So who is guilty? Take orders from above. Who's on top? ”

Han Wei asked with a cold face.

Yang Fengduo was helpless at this moment, so he had to tell the matter.

Han Wei sneered: "Nonsense. Wang Cheng is loyal to the country, the pillar of the court, you dare to slander him, don't die

"How many heads does the villain have, dare to slander the prime minister?" Yang Fengduo kowtowed and smiled bitterly.

Han Wei saw that the fire was almost over, and instructed Zhang Guizhi: "Go find a few capable brothers!" ”

Then, he stretched out his hand and patted Yang Fengduo's shoulder: "Since Commander Yang feels wronged, then I will send you to a place to defend yourself, Commander Yang has to be careful, whether your head can be kept depends on whether your own mouth is willing to tell the truth......

"Where do you want to send your humble job?" Yang Fengduo's psychology is beating the drum.

"Baisha Town-your boss, the deputy commander of the guards, the right wing of the Beijing Division, and the inspection envoy of the right wing of the Beijing Division, Master Han's camp, the Chinese army is stationed ......there," Han said with a smile.

Yang Fengduo's legs weakened, and he immediately sat down on the ground.

……

At this moment, the Yanying Palace is bright, Prime Minister Wang Jun, Fan Zhen, Li Gu, Wang, Kaifeng Mansion Yin Zhang Yongde, Privy Deputy Envoy Zheng Renxue, Hanlin Bachelor Dou Yi, these important ministers and close ministers are standing under Dan Zhi into two shifts, and Taiyuan Hou Chai Rong, who has recently returned to Beijing and has been resting and recuperating in the mansion, is also impressively listed.

Guo Wei sat high on the throne, his blazing eyes glanced down at the courtiers in the palace, and at this moment a watch seal was circulating among these ministers......

The Imperial Commander of the Imperial Inspection School, the Taibao Champion General, the Right Xiaowei General, the Eighth Route Army, the Governor of Yanzhou, and Li Wenge, played the ......

Under Xuanyuan, the decline of morality, so the three emperors have no relatives, the five emperors can Zen let, three generations to descend, Shun Cheng and push in Yu, to Qili, then everyone thinks that they are virtuous, and the world is peaceful......

…… The country is also the foundation of the society, and the solid is Bangning. The last years of the Ming Dynasty were dim, and the king of the Song Dynasty was in the outer town, and finally the emperor was chaotic by the princes, the family and the country fell apart, and the world was overturned......

…… Now His Majesty has ascended the Mandate of Heaven, practiced the Great Treasure of Zuo, expelled the Liu family in Hedong, beheaded Murong in the East China Sea, the four seas are stable, the army and the people are happy, only the East Palace is empty, the storage position is undecided, and the people who are afraid of the subjects inside and outside are also ......

…… His Majesty's favor, in charge of Xizhen, plus the number of guards, since the Zhangjing Festival, can not eat sweetly, can not sleep peacefully, lest negligence and slackness, lack of duty, live up to the grace of the Holy Grace......

…… The border soldiers and ministers, patrolling day and night, but the summer captives, the soldiers and armor, the food and straw are sufficient, and those who have nothing to worry about only wish the society to be stable, then the four Yi guests will obey......

…… The head of the public vessel of the depositor, the foundation of the country, the subjects of the four seas look forward to it......

…… The ministers are dull and poor, for His Majesty to be promoted among the servants and lowly people, awarded the axe of the Jiejie, entrusted with the power of the aspect, dare not to exhaust his efforts, and work hard to repay His Majesty.

…… Therefore, the minister risked his death to play and implored His Majesty to set up the East Palace as soon as possible to secure the society, and to establish the national prince to level the Quartet, so that the world can be ruled for a long time, and the government can be stable for a long time......

…… In order to play on the table, Li Wenge of Yanzhou paused again......

……

"Your Majesty, the general of the right Xiaowei is loyal and his words are stubborn, please allow your Majesty to play ......"

Such a good thing, such a good opportunity, it would be a pity not to take advantage of it, this piece was sent by Fan Zhen, and he was naturally the first to stand up and support.

"The minister seconded the proposal—"

Li Gudi's words were very brief, but his attitude was clear.

The rest of the people did not speak.

Guo Wei looked at Wang, the new prime minister seemed to be frowning and pondering something, but did not speak.

Wang Jun's expression seemed to be shocked and angry, his eyes rolled in his sockets, as if he didn't know what to say or how to say it.

Guo Wei began to feel a little interesting, Wang Jun was actually hesitating, strange, what was he hesitating about?

"Hugyi, what do you think?" The emperor asked Zhang Yongde by name.

Zhang Yongde raised his head and looked at Chai Rong who was standing in front of him, his lips squirmed and wanted to speak, but he was a little hesitant.

"I ask you, what do you think you have done? Say whatever comes to mind, and I won't sin people with my words,......" Guo Wei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty forgives me, the minister is secretly admiring this Li Wenge in his heart, he is really a bold person, such a big thing, no one dares to open his mouth first, but he has no scruples to say it, although the minister does not think of his recklessness, but admires his courage and ambition...... " Zhang Yongde said with a smile.

The words made everyone in the palace laugh, except for Wang Jun.

Guo Wei also smiled: "You slippery head, I asked you if you agreed with what he played, but you commented on him." What kind of person Li Wenge is, don't I know? I now ask you, should you be the crown prince, should you be the crown prince? ”

Zhang Yongde no longer hesitated this time: "Of course, Your Majesty, General Li is right in his recital, the affairs of the East Palace are related to the foundation of the country, the country is uncertain, and the society is restless!" ”

"What do you say, king?"

"Your Majesty, the foundation of the country should naturally be decided early, this matter is irrepromising, what the minister is thinking about now is who should be the prince of the East Palace, and who should be the crown prince......"

The king did not squint as he spoke, but as soon as his words came out, almost all the people in the palace turned their eyes to Chai Rong.

Guo Wei stroked his beard and smiled, "Oh...... What a long wait...... Your honor, the ministers are all looking at you, you can talk about it! ”

Chai Rong was neither humble nor arrogant: "Father, the matter of establishing a prince, the son should avoid suspicion!" ”

Guo Wei waved his hand: "I didn't ask who to set up, what I am asking now is whether this matter should be settled!" ”

Chai Rong obviously thought about it, and replied without hesitation: "The national reserve is the foundation of the country, so it should naturally be decided early. In fact, there is no need to discuss this matter, the Son of Heaven is mandated by Heaven to rule all the people, in fact, he is also a mortal, and aging is a natural rule, a hundred years later. The foundation of the Great Zhou must always be inherited. In fact, these things should be the thoughts of the prime ministers and ministers of the DPRK, and it should be embarrassing for Li Wenge and a foreign general to say it......

Guo Wei nodded: "Yes...... Li Wenge can think of the foundation of the country, in the past three years, no one has asked to say, is it really all the people in my court? ”

A word swept everyone in, and the ministers knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Guo Wei squinted at the sight - Wang Jun was still standing upright, with all kinds of emotions on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking......
