Chapter 338: Entrusting the Seed Army
Six middle films are in an uproar! There are not a few people who went to war with the enemy in Song and Jin, but the rebellion of the marshals and ministers was especially bad! Zhang Shen went all the way to pacify the envoys and guarded the important places in Yan'an. He actually surrendered!
"In terms of city defense. Yan'an has sufficient troops, and the grain and grass should also be sufficient, why did Zhang Shen surrender? .
"I'm afraid that when I see the strength of the Jin army, I will surrender the city to save my life and be rich!"
"If Yan'an is lost, it may be difficult to save Guanzhong!"
The officials gossiped, but they didn't talk about the essentials. Ma Kuo sighed secretly, Zhang Shen surrendered, of course, because he lost his morale, greedy for life and afraid of death. But this is also the evil result of He Shaobao's insistence on going his own way, using the curved end to attack the commanders and guards of all walks of life, in order to unify the military power. The Western Army was the only force that the Great Song Dynasty could rely on at present. But the chiefs are always,
Li looked at the subordinates, the anger on his face could not be concealed, and shouted: "You wait to talk all day long, now that Yan'an has been lost, what countermeasures do you have?" ”
"Xuanxiang, the Jin army is entrenched in Yan'an, and it will want to pass the gates. Fortunately, it is the hot summer time now, and the gold thief will also march in the cool autumn of August. "The one who said this was Wang Shu, the judge of Xuanfu.
Ma Kuo frowned when he heard this, and was looked at by Li Gang, and immediately asked, "What is Zichong's opinion?" ”
Since entering the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division. Because of his special status, his colleagues either deliberately rejected him. Either that, or just stay away. Therefore, Li Gangxia, who listened to it, asked, and said intentionally: "If you transfer troops and horses from all walks of life to aid Chang'an, it doesn't matter whether the commanders from all walks of life come or not." Even if it comes, it's just a grant to Shaanxi
This sentence is like pouring a scoop of cold water on boiling oil! People who don't like him immediately find it difficult. One after another made attacks, some said that he was grandstanding, some said that he was unashamed, and some even said that he had ill intentions! Ma Zhan turned a deaf ear to this, and just sneered again and again.
Li Gang also had a black face, and said with great displeasure: "Where do you start with this?" ”
"Prime Minister Xuan, all the chiefs, colleagues, the gold thieves have stolen Yan'an, and they have already established a foothold in Shaanxi. With Langyan as the support point, and controlling the passage of Hezhongfu and connecting Hedong, the Jin army can continuously increase troops to Shaanxi, transport grain, and take the pass as easily. If you transfer troops and horses from all walks of life to help the pass at this time, you will be defeated by the Jinren! "What Ma Kuo said is categorical and very sure! But in the eyes of others, it's clearly unconventional, what are you? It's just a prisoner! Li Xuanfu looked at Xu Jiu's face and appointed you as a senator, do you really think of yourself as a person?
When Wang Shu saw him refute himself, he asked, "What should I do in Ziyun's opinion?" ”
Ma Kuo was silent, when the officials saw it, they all sneered, and it was just grandstanding, and I didn't know if I really asked, this generation had the best reputation and reputation, and I disdain to be with it!
Li was sudden, and the six gods had no master for a while, and they didn't ask Ma Kuo.
immediately dismissed the officials and left the house. In the past, when He Guan was in Shaanxi, when the military situation was urgent. He often went to the Preparation Division to see He Shaobao, and now that He Guan has been recalled, who is he going to?
Out of the Xuanfu Division Yamen, sit on the official bridge. Went straight to the northwest of Chang'an City. Along the way, the noisy street market outside the sedan chair, and the boiling voices of people could not impress the anxious Shaanxi supreme governor at all, but repeatedly urged the sedan chair driver to go quickly. The pedestrians on the street only saw an official bridge being carried by the sedan chair driver and running like flying, and their hearts said that what happened to burn their butts? Is there such a hurry?
In a street, the sedan drivers parked the official bridge in front of a house. Unlike the bustle of other years, it is very secluded, and large trees are planted on both sides of the street. The sunlight casts through the cracks in the trees and hits the ground, which is very cool.
After Li Gang got off the sedan chair, it was estimated that he was too anxious, so he directly picked up the hem of his clothes and rushed up the steps. Buckle the hoop and slam the door. It's strange to say that this family is doing when you close the door in the middle of the day?
After waiting for Pian Xuan to see no one come to open the door, Li Gang smashed more and more urgently. At this time. I heard someone inside shouting loudly, "The sky is blue and the sun is white, and you dare to have a strong person come to the door!" ”
When the door opened, a hideous face was revealed. When he saw Li Gang, his expression froze, and he pulled open the door in an instant, and hurriedly said: "I don't know if Xuanfu is here, don't be weird, don't be weird." ”
How could Li Gang be as knowledgeable as a person, and asked in a hurry: "Has the illness of the Taiwei ever improved?" ”
The doorman looked gloomy: "The hotter the weather is." Far from getting better, the lieutenant's back gangrene has not improved."
Li Gang's face tightened. No more words, straight inside. Hurry up outside the door and lead the way. It turns out that this is the house of the planters. Since he was transferred back to Shaanxi from Taiyuan, he has not been sent, and the troops were stationed in Fengxiang Mansion until the imperial court appointed him as the deputy envoy of the system.
This kind of house has been to many times, and Li Gang didn't look all the way, and only followed the person to the back hall. The servants in the palace and others saw Xuanfu and acted in a hurry. The face was dark, and they were all surprised, of course, no one dared to ask a sentence. Not much. to a room. But the doors and windows were wide open. but they were covered with a veil. I think the patient can't see the light.
No matter how anxious Li Gang is, he still lifts the veil. Walk softly into the room. The interior was elegantly furnished, but his attention was on the bed facing the window. One person was lying on the bed with his back to the sky, ** upper body. His left shoulder, below the shoulder bone, was a purple-red patch that was extremely eye-catching.
Li Gang stopped at the door, tried his best to restrain his chaotic thoughts, and called in as low a voice as possible:
"Captain."
"Xuanxiang? Sit down, sit down. Although the man on the bed spoke, he did not move. Xiao Te threw himself on the bed, but he didn't want to free up his hand and waved it; Thinking of something, he said angrily, "How can these people be so ignorant of etiquette, and they won't come to Xuanfu Xianggong."
Li Gang hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, it's the prime minister who has rejected the servants. ”
When the planter heard this, he struggled to get up, thinking that the back was so painful that he couldn't turn over. Li Gang strode forward and grabbed his shoulders to help him before he turned his back up. In the end, he is a famous general who has been in battle for a lifetime. Although the planter is nearly seventy years old, this body full of scars is still strong. It's just that from the back to the abdomen, there is a blister about the size of a little finger, and the purple red that Li Gang saw before is the ointment applied.
When he saw the "dorsal gangrene" of the lieutenant from his back to his abdomen, his face changed greatly! Although Li Gang has no research, he has occasionally dabbled in it. Before anything else. The doctor said that the lieutenant was suffering from dorsal gangrene, and he was convinced. But now it seems that how can there be dorsal gangrene to the abdomen? This is clearly the folk commonly known as the "flying snake"! According to the legend of the common people, this "flying snake" once wrapped around the waist. Surely death!
He sat up with great difficulty, took a single shirt and put it on, and said with a smile: "Don't blame you for being sluggish Xuanxiang." ”
Li Gang didn't know how to answer for a while, the former Taiwei was old and strong, and he was full of energy. But now his face is like ashes, his eyes are sunken, and he can't see the slightest blood on his lips. Just thinking like this, the planter had already asked: "Xuanxiang, Qu Duan and the Xu family brothers went to Yan'an. How's the battle going? ”
"The captain is recuperating with peace of mind, Mo Lao is injured, and he must rely on the captain a lot for major military affairs." Li Gang deliberately avoided it. What can he do? The other party is sick like this, although Zigong is a chief, but he is too old, and he can be regarded as his elder in terms of age, how can he bear it in his heart.
The division has brought a lifetime of soldiers, how can you not know the way here. If you go to Yan'an, you must fight in Langzhou, Fangzhou, and there will always be a war report back, right? Xuanfu Xianggong is now avoiding answering, isn't it a loss at the front? Then he asked again and again.
The more he asked, the more depressed Li Gang became, and finally he couldn't bear it, and lamented: "Don't hide it from the captain, Yan'an, it has already fallen." ”
The seed master was in low spirits due to illness, and at this time, his eyes opened sharply, his lips opened, and he stared at Li Gang tightly. I didn't even breathe! Yan'an has fallen! The whole territory of Naduyan will fall into the hands of the golden thief! What does Kuoyan mean all the way to Shaanxi, but anyone who leads the troops knows it! For breeders, Langyan is even more significant!
The grandfather of the seed master, Chong Shiheng, that is, the founder of the "seed general", made many miraculous achievements in those years. It was common sense by Fan Zhongyan, who was in charge of Shaanxi Zhulu at that time. Afterward. Chong Shiheng built a city in the east of Yan'an Mansion, recruited thousands of brave and strong, practiced every day, and the party members did not dare to commit it. In order to commend the merits of Chong Shiheng, the imperial court named this city "Qingjian City".
Later, Qingjian City became the source of the generals, and it became the name of the generals. The world calls the Western Army Generals, and they all say that "Linzhou, Yangjia, Qingjian, Plantation, Fuzhou, and Folded Family" Yunyun.
Now that the pulse is lost, how can the planters not be in a hurry? Half an hour later, the veteran of the battlefield, the veteran of the Western Army, punched him on the bed. shouted loudly: "How could Yan'an fall!" Zhang Shen is my father's old department, and he is quite talented, so it is safe to stick to Yan'an! "Zhang Shen was a petty officer in Xu Zhang, and Xu Zhang was a fierce general under the command of a kind of stunned at that time, so there is such a saying in the seed division.
Li Gang saw that he was angry. But I was afraid of hurting my body, so I didn't dare to say that Zhang Shen had surrendered and betrayed the country, so I only said: "The gold thief is fierce, so the city is broken." ”
The seed master was quietly angry, and he couldn't stop pounding the bed and said: "The golden dog is raging!" This is the time for my generation to serve. Why lie on the sickbed! It's really infuriating! The old man seemed to be on fire, and his bloodless face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth. The face is terrifying!
Li Gang wanted to appease, but at this time he had no countermeasures, and when he came to see Taiwei, he was also seeking a plan, so he hardened his heart and asked: "The matter has come to this, according to Taiwei's opinion, how to deal with it?" ”
The seed master was silent for a while, and as soon as the Jin army occupied Duyan, he gained a firm foothold in Shaanxi. They are next. I'm afraid it's to take the place in the pass, and then trace the Weishui to the west.
"Where are the Xu brothers now? , the seed master suddenly asked.
"Return to Shi Yaozhou and stand by." Li Gang replied.
"Where's the twist?" The planter asked again.
A look of displeasure appeared on Li Gang's face: "I have returned to Huanqing."
The seed master nodded, it was estimated that the pain in his body was tight, he gritted his teeth and held on for a while, and then said: "If you lose it, Guanzhong will not be able to protect it." Xuan Xiang, according to his humble opinion, ordered Xu Yuan to return to Jingyuan, move the troops of Shaanxi Hua into Qinfeng, and take advantage of the geographical advantages of the mountains and rivers to try to last for a long time! ”
When Li Gang heard this, his color changed, and he lost his voice: "What does Taiwei mean, is he giving up Chang'an?" Abandonment of the Guanzhong Land?.
Seeing his reaction, the seed master frowned and said, "Could it be that Xuanxiang wants to gather men and horses to fight in Guanzhong?" The terrain of Guanzhong is conducive to the galloping of the horse army, which is the length of Beiyi. As soon as Lang Yan is lost, the gold thief will have no worries, and he will come with all his might! If you gather teachers in Guanzhong, it is tantamount to self-defeat! ”
Li Gang did not say anything, but said in a deep voice: "Jingzhao is the Shaanxi Mansion, abandon it without a fight, I am afraid that the world will criticize it, and the officials of the DPRK and China will also attack in groups." To the imperial court, it is impossible to explain.
The planter shook his head: "My generation is an official in the affairs of the military, and the rest don't ask anything." What he meant by this was that I was a military minister, and I only looked at the problem from a military point of view, and the political aspect was not something I should consider.
But Li Gang is a civil official, and he is a party guard! : Lou can't help but add more comer from a political point of view, and then ask! "Wanhe gave up Guanzhong, what should he do?
"Shaanxi Zhulu, there are two natural hazards, one is the Meridian Ridge, the other is the Longshan Liupan Mountain. Meridian Ridge can protect the two roads of Qingjing Yuan, and Longshan can protect Qinfeng. Now Quduan has returned to Huanqing, if the Jin army attacks, he will fight to the death to protect the roots. If Xu Yuan is sent back to Jingyuan, there will be no worries on both sides. Shaanxi Hua is located at the entrance of Guanzhong, except for the danger of Dingrong according to Huashan, there is nothing to rely on. Xuan moved Xu Jiu's troops into the Qin Feng garrison. In this way, after the Jin army received the land in Guanzhong, it would march wherever it went. We can all hold on. ”
"If the gold thief wants to stay in Shaanxi for a long time, he must cultivate the fields to enrich the food.
At this time, the commanders of all walks of life have already taken the danger, and they can go out of their way to attack and disturb them. It cannot be cultivated. If this is the case, the gold thief has no choice but to go to the east of the river to ask for food. Over time, there will be a dilemma! ”
Li Gang listened attentively, and compared with other important ministers in the court, he had an advantage. Although he did not understand military affairs, he rarely gave random commands to staff officers, because he knew that fighting a war was not his forte, so he should seek the opinions of those who led the troops. The situation analyzed by the seed master and the suggestions put forward, whether he adopted it or not, finally pointed out a direction. It will not be like before.
But to be honest, let him give up Guanzhong, especially Chang'an, he really didn't dare. Not to mention that this is a kind of Taiwei's family words, even if it is insightful and far-sighted. Those people in the court won't pay attention to you. They will only pull you to give up Guanzhong without a fight. Albeit. Now the Hezhong Prefecture, Tongzhou, and Huazhou in the Guanzhong region have been occupied by the Jin army.
Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "The city of Chang'an is tall and strong, and the food in the city is enough to support 100,000 troops for several years, so give up." Isn't it a pity? ”
"Then dare to ask Xuanxiang, who will defend the city to resist the war?" The planter asked rhetorically. Shaanxi Zhulu soldiers and horses. Can you command? It's easy for you to give orders to transfer troops. But who listens to you?
Li Gang naturally understood this and replied: "Others dare not say it, but Xu Wei has tens of thousands of armor, and he has repeatedly won more than the Jinren War, and there are many victories and defeats, so how about ordering him to lead the army into Chang'an?" Hearing this, the planter smiled bitterly and did not answer for the time being. Seeing this, Li Gang asked again and again: "What's wrong?" ”
"Xuanpeng Rigong, although Xu Jiu is young. But with courage and courage, his troops have been entangled with the Jin Army for many years, and they can be called a strong team! With all due respect. Now in the roads of Shaanxi, the only thing that Xuanxiang can really rely on is Xu Wei. If Xuan Xiangru pulls him to Chang'an, the gold thief will gather all his strength to destroy him. If Xianggong fights Xu Wei out, who can he rely on in the future? ”
Hit the nail on the head! Awakening Empowerment!
After Li Gang heard this, he felt afraid! Yes, although the official family has sent several rising stars in the army to Shaanxi, only the Purple Gold Tiger is really the climate now. Yao Pingzhong was unlucky for a while. Now it's a light pole. Liu Guangshi didn't say anything, Zhang Shen surrendered, and he probably followed.
At the critical moment, only Xu Ziang can really support himself! After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered the stubble of the "deputy envoy of the system", and informed the planter that the Tokyo Left-behind Division had ordered Xu Yuan to temporarily send him on his behalf.
In this regard, although there is no objection among the planters, they can't hide the guests. After being silent for a while, he said: "After the Xu brothers are all in the door, Xu Yide's father had an old relationship with me in his early years, and it is most suitable for him to replace him temporarily." At this point, there was a pause. He added, "I have more than 20,000 soldiers, all of whom have been fighting with me for many years." This disease can't be cured for a while, so the soldiers and horses will be handed over to Xu Yide for moderation. ”
What does it mean to be public and forgetful? What does it mean to focus on the big picture? That's it! The general of the Western Army, who does not value the dispatch of troops more than their lives? But the Seed Master is now not only in a position to be replaced by his dispatch. On the contrary, he offered to hand over the army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high wind and bright festival.
"No!" When Li Gangzheng sighed, Captain Chong remembered something. Xu Yide returned to Jingyuan. With his strength he is enough to protect himself. If Chang'an is abandoned, Qinzhou will be the concentration of the Jin army's attack. Let's move our department to Qin Feng. ”
"Controlled by Qin Fengshuai and Zhao Dian?. Li Gang asked.
The seed master shook his head stiffly: "Zhao is so empty talk." Usually, if the mouth is like a river, pointing out the country, it is useless to be in battle. In addition, "he didn't seem to know whether to say it or not, but when he thought of his situation, his days might not be long, so he let it go."
"Say something that shouldn't have been said by a lowly officer. Qin Feng is very important, and Xianggong should be considered. Although this was said vaguely, Li Gang understood it. The seed master thought that Zhao Dian was not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, and suggested that Qin Fengshuai be replaced. And he had previously proposed that Xu Wei lead the army into Qin Feng, which was tantamount to recommending Xu Wei in disguise. And he turned out to be Qin Fengjing's appeasement envoy, and now most of the people in Qin Fenglu are his old subordinates. With him in town, no one dares to make trouble.
And the reason why Xu Wei is so promoted among the seed masters. First of all, because the Xu family will come from the family, Xu Jiu's father was a stunned general, and this is very important in the Western Army, which attaches great importance to the faction. The second is because of the strong recommendation of his brother and master. In the letter to his younger brother before his death, he even said it. Our family is dying away, and there is no successor, but fortunately we have this now. Xu Jiu. In the end, it was because he saw with his own eyes that Xu Wei was indeed talented, and not only he was capable. The generals under his command are also talents.
Only such a person is worthy of leading my family army!
