Huang You entered the shogunate of Lu Xiangsheng in ten years, and now he follows Sun Yuan and counsellors military affairs. (Marshmallow offers Txt free download)
In the past two years, Huang You's health has not been as good as before because of his age, and his spirit is also poor. Looking back now, I have actually had a very wonderful life in this life, Lu Gong and Sun Yuan are both top people in this era, everyone in the art of war, since following them, they have almost never suffered defeat.
In his opinion, the country has such elite soldiers and strong generals, and it is not a problem to beat him as a Heqing Haiyan.
However, as soon as the troops entered Henan, they saw the uninhabited Yellow Flood area for thousands of miles, the unprecedented drought, and the ragged gangsters, but their hearts were shaken.
The rebellion in the Central Plains, Shanxi, and Huguang has been more than ten years since the early years of Chongzhen. The imperial court has won countless battles, but the more victories it has, the more thieves there are. Now, the chaos has spread to Sichuan, and the imperial court still has no way to deal with it, in two years, where will this civil strife spread?
Beijing, Nanjing...... There was a sudden chill in my heart.
Looking at the heads captured by several large cars, Huang You sighed in his heart. According to the information at hand, Yongcheng had more than 300,000 people in the past, and the place was rich. Because of this, it is a first-class county in eastern Henan. But with the great drought, the crops in the field have all died of drought, and these more than 300,000 people have no livelihood, can they not be chaotic? However, the imperial court was unable to provide relief at all. There is already such a population in a mere Yongcheng, and I don't know how many places like Henan, Shanxi, and Yongcheng are left: maybe Ma Shiying is right, the population of the Ming Dynasty is too much, and only half of them are waiting to die
。
The last years of any imperial dynasty in history have a certain relationship with the country's peak and rapid population expansion. The Tang Dynasty was followed by the Anshi Rebellion, and before the Jingkang Qi of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo had a population of one million, and even the old soldiers who defended the city wore shoes made of silk, and the country was not prosperous...... Since the rule of Renxuan, my Ming Dynasty has been a great reform of Longwan, and the three major expeditions of Wanli are not a great prosperity. But now, how did it become like this?
Ma Shiying is a person who understands, but the face of such an understanding person is so hateful.
……
In front, Yu Xiang was standing in front of the several carts that were transporting people's heads, and shouted at a few auxiliary soldiers: "You guys tie up the goods for me firmly, send them to Governor Ma as soon as possible, and then come back as soon as possible." In front is Yongcheng, and now Liu Chao's army has been completely annihilated by our army, just rush over on horseback, and that big city is in our army's pocket. I warn you, if you miss this great achievement, there is no reward. ”
An auxiliary soldier was counting the bloody heads and putting them in the sack, and when he heard Xiao Yu's words, he smiled and said: "Yu experience, anyway, we are all auxiliaries, and those brothers in the cavalry army are so strong that no matter how fast we are, we won't be able to fight." ”
Yu Xiang kicked him with a smile: "Bastard thing, you still give up on yourself, the general said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." In the past three years, our Ningxiang Army has expanded many times, how many auxiliaries and civilians have been enriched into the army in the past, and how many people have been promoted to officers because of meritorious service, and there are no promising things! ”
The auxiliary: "We can't make it to Yongcheng, but it's a pity that the cavalry brothers who escorted the spoils of war to see Governor Ma can't make it into the city." ”
As he spoke, ten tower-like knights with a fierce aura came running on horseback. The leader shouted: "What if you can't catch up, there is no enemy on the Yongcheng side, and there is no fighting, how can we show our martial arts?" ”
After speaking, the ten people saw that Yu Xiang was here, and at the same time called Yu Xiang, and they were about to dismount. ()
Yu Xiang: "Don't come down, bring the news of our army's victory to Governor Ma as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." All the cavalry roared in response.
Yu Xiang shouted again: "The general has ordered, the ten of you are all warriors who have made great contributions in this battle, this time I have to let him let Lu Fengjun see what the heroes of our cavalry generals look like, can you understand?" ”
"Hey, isn't it just showing off, let's save land
! ”
Everyone laughed, and the cavalryman at the head shouted a long shout: "Brothers, take the capture, let's go!" ”
After speaking, he gave the war horse a whip and rushed out like a splash of wind.
Only one cavalryman did not leave, but jumped off his horse, helped an auxiliary soldier tighten the rope that bound the sack, and asked, "Brother Leng, how are you doing?" I heard people say, you just got a summer heat, does it matter? ”
This cavalry was different from the previous nine cavalrymen who were as fierce as iron towers, this person was a little old, and his face was bitter. A pair of eyes are full of vicissitudes, but his body has always been straight, like the Qi family knife hanging on his mount.
That's right, this cavalryman is Jing Ran, and the Leng brother in his mouth is Leng Ying.
Huang You was attracted by this unexpected episode, and looked at the past, his eyes were unconscious, this auxiliary soldier surnamed Leng was really talented, with good facial features and fair skin, like a scholar.
It's a pity that Yu Xiang seems to have a very bad feeling for this cold brother: "Leng Ying, what are you rubbing, go, go!" Isn't it just heat stroke, just eat two Ren Dan. Jing Ran, Hugh has to delay. ”
Jing Ran raised his head and said with a smile: "Yu experience, you can't miss it, you can't miss it." ”
Then he took the water hyacinth from his body and handed it to Leng Ying.
*********************************************************
The sound of rattling footsteps resounded scattered across the field, startling the resident birds, and rising in the setting sun.
This is the wilderness between Yongcheng and Suzhou, and after months of severe drought, there is no trace of green in the fertile Central Plains. After a day of walking, except for yellow, it was still yellow.
Now, the fiery sunset is covered with a layer of red on the earth, like human blood, so sticky that it can't be dissolved.
It's hot, it's really hot, even if the sun sets, but the windless wilderness is like a steamer, and it makes people want to go crazy.
Ma Shiying looked at the officials and soldiers around him, everyone was so hot that they were staggering, and many of the soldiers took off their clothes, revealing their skinny chests
。 The officials and the clerks were born as scholars and paid attention to decency, so naturally it was impossible for them to be as naked as the lower riba people. However, they still removed their coats, and the folding fans in their hands kept shaking. At the end of the day, the folding fan and the white cotton shirt on his body had already turned yellow, and the heavy smell of sweat permeated the team.
He couldn't help but sigh slightly, fighting on a hot day was really a chore. Fortunately, the climate is very dry, and if it is the rainy season, there is no need for the enemy to attack, and the plague will break out in the army first. Of course, if it really rains, will the situation in Henan be eroded like this?
An official walked up to Ma Shiying's side: "Governor Ma, the sky is already dark, there is no way to leave today, do you want the soldiers to set up camp?" ”
"No, let everyone light torches, march overnight, and continue to pursue Liu Chao."
"During the march in the middle of the night, the soldiers were already tired, and I was afraid that the army would be unstable." The man cautioned.
Ma Shiying shook his head: "Don't forget, Liu Chao is running away, let's camp and rest, he won't rest." I have a bad feeling that if I don't capture Liu Thief as soon as possible, the situation of this battle will be uncertain. When the time comes, I'm afraid it's not something we can grasp. ”
His words made his subordinates' hearts suddenly feel a little heavy, and naturally no one would mention the matter of camping.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Immediately someone shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”
The procession was suddenly chaotic, some were busy putting on armor, others were quickly lifting their weapons, some officers were shouting orders to gather their troops, but many more were fleeing in a hurry.
Several staff members were shocked and rushed to Ma Shiying's side: "Squire, squire, get on the horse, get on the horse!" In the sunset, their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, and they didn't know whether it was heat or fear.
Ma Shiying pushed everyone away, stood on a high place and shouted: "Don't mess up, everyone, it must be the fast horse of the Ningxiang Army, and there should be good news." ”
As soon as the words fell, the joyful shouts of the soldiers were heard in the distance: "Unprecedented victory, unprecedented victory, the battle report of the Ningxiang army is here." ”
"Mighty, mighty!" Hearing that it was not an enemy attack, Sergeant Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was extremely happy, and at the same time let out bursts of cheers.
All the staff members glanced at Ma Shiying in surprise, and their hearts were all shocked, it is rare that this Governor Ma really has the ability to predict the future?
After a while, he saw ten horsemen coming with several carts full of sacks
。
A subordinate of Ma Shiying greeted him and asked loudly: "It's the Ningxiang Army scouts who came, what happened to you over there?" ”
The scout of the Ningxiang Army was led by a fierce athlete, and he laughed: "What else can happen, it's nothing more than meeting Liu Chao on the march, and this guy has gathered more than 10,000 remnants of the army to challenge." ”
"How's the battle going?"
At this moment, the scout leader suddenly drew his saber with a sonorous sound and leaned down to slash.
Seeing the white light, the little official under Ma Shiying retreated sharply with an "ouch", but hit his head on the cart and fell directly to the ground.
But he saw that the lightning-like sword light slashed at the rope that bound the sack on the cart, and by the way, it broke open a sack, and the head of the person poured out and rolled to the ground.
"What else, destroy the withering and decaying!" The scout cavalry put the knife back into its sheath and said proudly: "What can compete with our Ningxiang army in this world has not yet been born!" In this battle, our army beheaded more than 600 levels, all here, please count them to Governor Ma! ”
The severed head was still rolling on the ground, and the little official who had fallen to the ground just now was holding one in his arms. After a long time, he threw the head in his hand on the ground with a scream, and wanted to stand up, but his legs trembled.
"Haha!" The cavalry of the Ningxiang Army burst into laughter.
Seeing that this group of cavalry was so arrogant, the people around Ma Shiying were all angry, and some wanted to come forward to reprimand them.
Ma Shiying waved his hand to signal their patience, stepped forward, and said loudly: "I am Ma Shiying, where is your General Sun now?" ”
The scout at the head bowed his hand: "It turned out to be Governor Ma, and the general of my family is leading his troops to pursue Liu Chao." General Sun said that tomorrow he will definitely cut off the head of Liu Chao and wait for the governor to come in Yongcheng. ”
"That's good, that's good." Ma Shiying showed a look of joy: "Go back and tell you General Sun, the old man Jinghou Jiayin." At the end of this battle, he will definitely play the imperial court to ask for credit for General Sun and the Ningxiang army. It's important to kill the enemy, go ahead! ”
