Chapter 587: Face
ο»Ώ
Jingshi, Wanping, Gongji City. (.marshmallow)
Wanping in this era is not called Wanping, this city was built by Chongzhen ten years, just a military fortress, is part of the defense system of the capital.
After all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and when you look up, it is a towering city tower. Unlike ordinary cities, there are no streets, markets, drum towers and other civil facilities in the city. There are only two gates in the whole city, the east and west gates and the urn city, and there are also soldiers stationed in it, but they are not very majestic.
The Qin army suffered such a big defeat, and it took a few days of chaos to gather the troops that were scattered by Jiannu, and then drove back to Beijing with a roar, how important the ceremony of sacrificing the Taimiao was, once the auspicious time was chosen, it could not be changed
γ
After a few days of trekking, the Qin army finally arrived at Gongji City as scheduled. However, the defeat was really miserable, and the soldiers were really tired, and the soldiers were all tired and ragged, and they could no longer see the courage and pride of the Northwest men.
In the past, the Qin army was also a character walking sideways in the northwest. In these years, the peasant army was beaten by the children of the Three Qin Dynasty and lost their armor and could no longer gain a foothold in Shaanxi.
The army is a monster that needs to be fed with victory after victory, and the morale of the army and the character of the army need to be cultivated with the blood of the enemy.
It is precisely because of the repeated victories in the past that the Shaanxi army inevitably has an arrogant atmosphere, and only thinks that the sky is the biggest, the earth is the second, if we humble ourselves to the fourth, no one dares to call the third. In the battle, these elite soldiers trained by Sun Chuanting and Hong Laoheng were as brave and fierce as Shaanxi's oily spicy people.
For King Jingqin like this, at the beginning, the Qin army was still very confident. In their opinion, although Jiannu is strong, they are also human beings, and they are also raised by their mothers and fathers, so why are they better than us?
But the reality is cruel, in the first battle of Baoqiushui, the Qin army encountered Jiannu, which can be described as a one-touch collapse, and was beaten by others without the slightest power to fight back.
The total number of Qin troops is 20,000, but the real main soldiers and family members are only about 2,000.
These men are all warriors who have fought old battles, and they will be put on the front line every time they fight. When fighting, these men who are full of maneuver will also fight bravely to be the first, for fear of falling behind and being scolded by others for being "soft eggs" and "melons". It can be said that there is hardly a single thief army in Shaanxi today, and it is all the credit of these two thousand warriors.
But in this battle, after only half a day's work, he was half killed by Jiannu like chopping melons and vegetables, and the entire army was almost disabled. In less than half a year, the Qin army could not recover.
These are all capable warriors in a hundred battles, even if the personnel are replenished, how can they restore their original combat effectiveness. It is conceivable that in the future, Jiannu will become a nightmare for the Qin army.
Thinking of so many brothers dying by the river in vain, Cao Bianjiao's heart was dripping blood. With so many people dead, how can they explain to their families and to General Hong?
Looking at the swarthy city wall, Cao Bianjiao's heart was like pressing a boulder, and he was almost out of breath.
Since the defeat of Baoqiu, all units of the Ming army have suffered great losses, so without waiting for Hong Chengchou's order, all the troops have invariably moved westward
γ The fast team had already arrived in Beijing three days ahead of him.
After resting for a few days, they finally gathered the scattered troops. Soon, Cao Bianjiao also got Hong Chengchou's order.
The order said that Jiannu had crossed the Qingshan Pass and was returning north one after another. Let him come to Wanping as soon as possible with the troops, get closer to the large army, and the emperor will review the troops.
Today, the vicinity of Wanping City has become a large barracks. The Six Towns, the Qin Army, and the Ningxiang Army were full of tents and military flags.
The half-year war finally ended, and the group of plague gods in Jiannu finally grabbed a satisfied and went home, and all the Ming troops were relieved and smiled.
At this moment, the soldiers of each battalion are arranging their equipment, sewing and mending flags, washing their horses, and sharpening their embroidered knives and guns. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, Jiannu entered the Kou three times, and the soldiers and horses of the six towns would enter King Jingqin every time, and they were already familiar with the boundaries around the Jingshi. But the army fights, has its own rules, and cannot enter the city without an edict. Therefore, after so many years, many people still don't even know what the inside of the capital looks like. Back then, Yuan Chonghuan led the Guanning Army of Western Liaoning into the Weijing Division, and when he arrived at the ground, the first thing he thought about was not how to retreat from the enemy, but to lead the troops into the city. What was the result, and in the end it was directly taken down by the Son of Heaven, put into the prison, and after being locked up for a year, Ling Chi was executed----- what do you want to do with so many soldiers and horses without fighting the enemy, and marching into Beijing with full armament?
Therefore, this time, the Son of Heaven ordered meritorious soldiers to enter Beijing for review, and all the people were very excited. To be able to boast of feats in front of the emperor and the common people is an extremely glorious thing.
The person who came to greet Cao Bianjiao was none other than the Shanhaiguan Chief Soldier Ma Ke, a white fat man who didn't look like a soldier.
Ma Ke always has a smile on his face, although he and Cao Bianjiao only have a few faces, but on the surface, he makes a very affectionate appearance. As soon as he saw him, he held Cao Bianjiao's hand and sighed for a while, sighing that General Cao had worked hard all the way. In the Battle of Baoqiushui, the brothers of the Qin army suffered. Blame me, blame me, blame me for not being able to drive the troops over on time and help the general.
People who don't understand read it and think that he and Cao Bianjiao have been friends for many years.
In fact, Cao Bianjiao also understood in his heart that this Ma Zongbing was so affectionate to him, completely because he Cao Bianjiao was the first and closest confidant of General Hong. General Hong is about to take up the post of governor of Jiliao, and Ma Ke is currying favor with himself.
Although he was impatient, Cao Bianjiao still socialized with him for a long time, and was about to ask where General Manager Hong was now
γ Before he could speak, Ma Ke sighed and said, "General Hong is now talking to the general soldiers of each town in the festival hall in the city, discussing which troops to send into the city tomorrow for reading. General Cao is a great general in the Qin army, so he is naturally on the list of people to be read. However, seeing that the general is full of dust, it is better to go to the shower and change clothes first, and then go to see President Hong. β
Hearing him say this, Cao Bianjiao remembered that he hadn't freshened up for some days. At this moment, the armor on his body was full of scars from swords and arrows, and his hands and hair were full of dried human blood. A face, as dirty as the god of the stove.
couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Read, read, and sacrifice the Taimiao?" Defeated repeatedly, the soldiers and sons were almost killed and wounded, and we were injured and had any Dongyi prisoners, and what else did we take to sacrifice to the Taimiao? Why do you want to light up Makua Street, and why do you want to face the people of Beijing? β
Ma Ke smiled: "General Cao's words are wrong, although we don't have prisoners on hand. But there are a lot of Jiannu's heads, including the head of the slave chieftain Yuetuo. Do you know, those Jiannu heads together, all of them are one or two thousand, and there are a lot of Han military flags, and they are dragged into the city with a wrench, and the whole Beijing is a sensation. β
Cao Bianjiao said lightly: "Those heads weren't cut off by us, so what does it have to do with us?" β
Ma Ke was embarrassed: "General Cao's words are not right, that's right, these heads and military exploits were all shot down by Sun Yuan." But General Cao, don't forget, he, Sun Yuan, is the general of Xuanfu Town, and Xuanfu Town is under the control of the General Control of Hong. Therefore, this merit should be recorded on the head of General Hong and Liu Ge, and it is their strategic work. In addition, all armies also have a part. Without everyone suffering so much in front, shedding so much blood, and dragging the serf to the death, his grandson Taichu could make meritorious contributions? To put it mildly, we are sowing, watering, and fertilizing, and he Sun Yuan is picking peaches. β
Cao Bianjiao shook his head: "You can't say that, before I fought directly with Jiannu, I, Cao Bianjiao, was not convinced by him Sun Yuan, and felt that the battle in Jinan, if it was replaced by me, I could also fight down." But this time in the Baoqiu battle, a certain person felt that he was so naΓ―ve at the beginning. Jiannu, tiger wolf, so many brothers...... There were so many brothers, and a single light was eaten up by Dongyi. Now, when it comes to Jiannu, the brothers in the army are already afraid. The Ningxiang army was able to take down Yue Tuo's head and relieve the siege of Jinan, but he didn't know what kind of strong army it had always been. Cao Bianjiao admired Sun Taichu to the ground. This time to the Son of Heaven, Sun Taichu went, deservedly, I, Cao Bianjiao, have no face to touch this light. β
Just kidding, the dignified Cao Bian Jiao, the dignified Sanqin disciples, are as proud as lions, how can they share the credit of others, so, what face will stand in the world in the future?
After speaking, Cao Bianjiao said: "I'll go to see the chief system." β
With a wave of his whip, he gave the war horse a fierce whip, and rushed into the city with his servants
γ
Ma Ke's voice came from behind: "General Cao, General Cao...... Ahem, I'm not done yet! β
As the chief soldier, he was naturally surrounded by staff and family members, and everyone cursed in a low voice: "What kind of thing, isn't it just the favor of General Hong, arrogant like this, even the face of General Ma has been refuted." β
"He, Qin Jun, is the descendant of Hong Laoheng, so he is naturally arrogant, what can we do? Hehe, when Qin Jun came to Beijing this time, his nose was turned to the sky, and he privately scolded us for being afraid of the enemy like a tiger, not like a soldier. Phew, Jiannu is so easy to deal with. If he Qin Jun went up, wouldn't he be eaten by someone even in half a day? β
"That's it, you can do it! You are on, and you are not beaten by other people's slaves to cry and cry for your mother. Our border army and the Qin army are all the same thing. Cao Bianjiao really thinks that he is Sun Taichu, and when Qin Jun is Ningxiang Army, he doesn't pee and look like himself! β
Everyone was very dissatisfied with Cao Bianjiao and Qin Jun's frivolity, this time Hong Chengchou was appointed as the governor of Jiliao, and Qin Jun was his descendant, so he naturally wanted to be of great use. In this world, I have never seen the new people laughing, and who can hear the old people crying. It is conceivable that in the future, whether it is military pay or supplies, Hong Chengchou will favor Cao Bianjiao, and everyone's life will be more difficult than now.
It was precisely because Cao Bianjiao was about to become a celebrity in Jiliao that Mr. Ma came over to make friends deliberately, but before Ma Ke finished speaking, this person threw up his sleeves and left, which was really faceless.
"Alright, stop it!" Ma Ke shook his head, still with a kind face: "This General Cao, his temperament is too anxious, why can't he put himself in the shoes of General Hong?" β
"What's wrong with Mr. Hong?" One of the staff couldn't help but ask.
Ma Ke: "General Hong's life is not easy, but General Cao doesn't understand this, hey, it's also because I didn't make it clear just now." β
All eyes fell on Marco's face.
Ma Ke is a kind person, and he doesn't like to put up a fight in front of his subordinates on weekdays, so he smiled and said: "Have you found that in this battle of Baoqiu, the Qin army was defeated so badly." However, the imperial court's decree did not mention a word, but vigorously commended the merits of various armies in the Shandong battlefield. The words are not gentle, and he ordered everyone to rush to the capital as soon as possible to participate in tomorrow's celebration, don't you notice something? β
"Please make it clear to the general soldier."
