Chapter 401: Fighting
Huang You's attendant was beside the two, and when he heard Yang Sichang's words, his heart was moved, and he unconsciously fell his eager gaze on Lu Xiangsheng's face, and kept giving Governor Lu a look, signaling him to agree.
To tell the truth, Huang Youduo is a thief who is also hated by gritted teeth. But he also knows that military affairs are not the time to be angry. Moreover, as an old man of the Tianxiong Army Group, his thinking naturally fell on his own interest group.
Now, no one knows better than him, the chief staff, what Lu Xiangsheng has become. It is true that there are only more than ten days of food and grass in the army, and there is some gold and silver. But now Gyeonggi is dilapidated, the people have fled, thousands of miles are uninhabited, and even if they have money, there is nowhere to buy grain and grass. Even if it was the cash on hand, as far as he knew, it was not much, only tens of thousands of taels of silver. To this day, Governor Lu still owes 200,000 taels of silver for the two Huai salt transports and has not been returned.
In the past few years, the Tianxiong army has fought against the thief army in the south, and it also owes a lot of debts to the locality, and there are white slips everywhere.
If Governor Lu led his troops to Tongzhou to join forces with Gao Qiqian, not to mention anything else, he only needed to send the Grand Canal to the south to send the grain to the capital, and he could have as much as he wanted. With food in his hands, he is not panicked, and he can calmly arrange a war against Jiannu.
Cao Yun is related to the food of hundreds of thousands of people and officials in the entire city of Beijing, Yang Sichang dared to open this mouth, this courage is really admirable and admirable.
Lu Xiangsheng bowed his hand lightly: "In this way, I really want to thank the elder Ge." ”
Seeing him speak, Yang Sichang's face was overjoyed, and even Huang You next to him showed joy on his face.
Yang Sichang: "So, did the governor agree?" ”
"Naturally, such a good thing, how can Lu push it away
。 Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "But ......"
"But what, what else is there to do with Jiandou, just say?" Yang Sichang asked hurriedly.
Lu Xiangsheng said leisurely: "However, a military order has been issued, and the old camp of Jiannu will be raided tonight." The soldiers and horses of all armies are ready to go, how can they say that if they don't fight, they won't fight. The matter of moving to Tongzhou will be discussed after tonight. ”
As he spoke, he glanced up at the bright sunlight outside the tent, and his expression became determined.
"You ......" Yang Sichang stood up with a loud voice, and no longer cared about Zaifu's physique, and shouted: "Lu Jiandou, why are you still insisting on going your own way?" I didn't make it clear just now, the Xuan army in your hands and the Guanning army in your hands are the only combat power of my Ming Dynasty in Gyeonggi. If there is a good one, who will defend the city of Beijing? Night raid, night raid, night raid what? Looking at the weather, tonight must be the full moon, how can such a large army hide its whereabouts? ”
"Also, for this night attack, you Lu Jiandou are arguing with Gao Qiqian again, and you are swearing a teacher, and there is a huge movement, I don't believe that Jiannu will not know? Sneak attack, you have now become a strong attack, how can you win this battle? Don't forget, although you are the governor of Xuanda, the border army of the two towns of Xuanda is not your Lu Jiandou's private soldier? ”
Yang Sichang's heart was like a fire burning, and he couldn't care about anything else. This remark alluded to Lu Xiangsheng's arrogance and desire to turn the two towns of Xuanda into feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, but this was a very serious accusation.
Lu Xiangsheng had a bad temper, so he immediately raised his head and laughed, and the laughter aroused a burst of echoes in the big tent.
"What are you laughing at?" Yang Sichang was stunned for a while.
Lu Xiangsheng pointed at Yang Sichang and still laughed: "Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang, you are so kind, you want me to move to Tongzhou." It turned out that he was afraid that a certain person would defeat Jiannu on the battlefield and ruin your peace and negotiation affairs? The dignified cabinet elder, in order to negotiate peace with Jiannu, he did not hesitate to deign to go to a certain military camp to talk about the item, and promised heavy benefits, your heart is too eager, right? ”
He was originally a member of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party has always prided itself on being a clear stream, and he never compromises in life and work, only asking about his position, and not knowing how to maneuver. Lu Xiangsheng already had a disdain for Yang Sichang, and after figuring out his intention today, he was even more bored with this person to the core.
When Yang Sichang heard these unkind words, his face turned red with anger.
Lu Xiangsheng still refused to give up, and shouted: "If you want to negotiate peace with the Qing army, don't you want to think that the alliance under the city is a great shame in the Spring and Autumn Period?" Besides, I am burdened with a heavy responsibility, the capital is like a sharp tongue, if a peace is discussed, it must be Yuan Chonglian's second, even if he is not afraid of the disaster of killing, then a person like me who attaches great importance to filial piety, now do not go to serve the country, move filial piety to be loyal, it is a loss of loyalty and filial piety, what face do I have to stand in the world? ”
He said this again to being robbed of love by the emperor
。
Lu Xiangsheng was robbed of love by the emperor, it was because Jiannu entered the Kou and needed to lead troops to the battlefield, and it was difficult for others to say anything. Even so, after Lu Xiang returned to the court as the governor of Xuanda, he was still impeached by the imperial officials and endured a lot of pressure.
And Yang Sichang was robbed of love by the emperor back then, but there was no such great reason, in the past few years, he has been said by the official to be a villain who is greedy for power.
Now that Lu Xiangsheng mentioned this matter again, he simply sprinkled another handful of salt on Yang Sichang's wound, which was painful.
But he couldn't refute it, so he just stood there dumbfounded, his eyes full of sadness.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Sichang's hoarse voice sounded: "Jiandou, it seems that you are determined to raid the old camp of Jiannu, and the nine cows can't be pulled back...... You have received reinforcements from the Holy Governor, and I have nothing to do with you. Now, you're putting Shang Fang's sword around my neck! ”
In the sunset, Yang Sichang's face looked ten years old.
Yang Sichang advocated peace with the Qing army, in his opinion, the Qing army was unstoppable, and if it fought, the Ming Dynasty could not be the opponent of others at all, but the elite of Xuan, Da and Guanning were compensated. In this way, there are no more usable troops in the whole of North China. In addition, now the situation in Shaanxi has stabilized, but there are thieves in Henan and Huguang, and the Ming Dynasty has weakened, and the treasury is empty enough to run horses, and it is no longer able to wage war on both sides.
If Lu Xiangsheng blindly loves war, he may lose the Jingshi if he doesn't get it right.
Therefore, today's Ming Dynasty can only choose between the peasant army and the Jiannu.
An outside must first fight inside, and the combat effectiveness of the peasant army is not much lower than that of Jiannu. No matter how you look at it, the peasant army is the preferred opponent.
Although the peace talks are humiliating, for the sake of the country and the nation, temporary humiliation is nothing. In that year, Song Zhenzong went on a northern expedition and suffered an unprecedented defeat. No, he also made an alliance with the Liao State of Tanyuan, so that there was peace in the north for decades. If the Song Dynasty at that time fought to the end like Lu Xiangsheng, I was afraid that before the later Mongols went south, they would perish first
。
However, Yang Sichang also knew that the negotiation of peace was too dishonorable and dangerous. Yuan Chonghuan is a living example.
If you continue to fight for yourself, your reputation will be even more stinky, and you will have a good end in the future.
Huang You felt sad for a while, to be honest, he didn't think that Governor Lu's night attack on Jiannu was a good plan, but among all the plans, this was probably the only feasible way. As for what Yang Sichang said, there is also his truth, and it is indeed a serious word.
If you say who is right and who is wrong, you can't tell who is right.
Lu Xiangsheng stopped laughing, snorted disdainfully, and shouted: "Shang Fang's sword must be on my neck first, if I Lu Xiangsheng can't annihilate the enemy, how can Shang Fang's sword easily hit someone else's neck." If you don't fight, I will never agree. ”
After speaking, he waved his sleeves: "Send the pavilion elder!" ”
This is already a merciless expulsion, Huang You smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand towards Yang Sichang, and said in a low voice: "Yang Xiang, please." ”
……
The sun was setting like fire, and the military camp outside Changping City was busy, with soldiers running around everywhere.
Armor came down and piled up in the clearing, like hills.
Some soldiers bent their bows with their feet to wind the infantry's bows, and some even pulled the bows vigorously and tried to use their strength, and the air trembled and buzzed in the bowstrings. The Tianxiong army is full of bows and armor, and the troops are equipped with infantry bows in large numbers. The border armies of Xuan and Da towns fought against the nomads of the northern steppes all the year round, and they were also very good at arching horses.
The craftsmen in the army had made a fire early in the morning, and were repairing broken equipment, and the wind was full of clanging sounds.
Almost everyone knows that tonight, tomorrow dawn at the latest, is an unprecedentedly fierce battle, and the enemy is the brutal and outrageous elite of Liaodong Jiannu. After this battle, even if it is successfully won, but the elite of the more than 10,000 Ming army, I don't know how many people will still be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.
Soldiers are also human beings, especially ancient armies that have not been brainwashed by modern training methods, and it is a lie to say that they are not afraid, not worried, and not nervous.
There were soldiers gathered together and whispering something. Some people looked excited, and kept rubbing the instruments in their hands with their hands; Some people knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together, and muttered something; Others gulped down their allotted dinner and drank spirits
。 As he drank and drank, he threw the flask in his hand on the ground and cursed God in a loud voice; There are even more timid or emotional people who secretly wipe their tears on the side......
"The morale of the army doesn't seem to be very good!" A staff member beside Yang Sichang couldn't help but speak.
After Yang Sichang came out of Lu Xiangsheng's military festival account, he said nothing with a gloomy face.
Just now in Lu Xiangsheng's place, it can be said that he suffered a lot of humiliation. He didn't expect this Lu Jiandou to say such hurtful words, and it can be said that he completely tore his face.
However, after all, Yang Sichang is the chief assistant of the dynasty, and for the sake of the overall situation, he still has to endure it.
But the servant beside him couldn't help it, and a staff member whispered to Yang Sichang: "Yang Xiang shouldn't have come to Lu Xiangsheng this time, this person is nicknamed King Lu Yan, although he is from the two rankings of Jinshi. But in the past ten years of military career, he has been stained with gangsterism, and his face is hateful. I heard that he used to be ruthless when he led his troops to kill thieves, and he was also ruthless to his subordinates, and he had to march if he didn't agree with him. ”
Hearing the discussion of his subordinates, Yang Sichang let out a long breath: "Lu Jiandou doesn't know that this Xuanda and Guanning are the only bones and blood in the northern border defense of our Ming Dynasty, and they must not take risks easily, nor can they afford to lose." That's why I decided to fight for it even at the last minute...... But this Lu Jiandou just likes to gamble ......"
At this, he laughed bitterly.
The staff member said: "It seems that Yang Xiang is not optimistic about Governor Lu's night attack tonight?" ”
Yang Sichang's face was even more bitter: "The matter is not secret, and it is the full moon again, and it will be defeated!" It doesn't matter if Lu Xiangsheng loses the battle, it's a pity that there are more than 10,000 Xuanda elites! If something really happens, how should I explain it to the people of the world and to Your Majesty? ”
Speaking of this, Yang Sichang had two tears in his eyes.
The staff member rolled his eyes and said carefully: "Yang Xiang and Governor Lu have been officials in the same dynasty for more than ten years, don't you know his temperament, but he is a very difficult person to get along with." Yang Xiang said that even at the last moment, it is necessary to fight for it. In my opinion, the elder of the pavilion is simply fighting for the wrong person? ”
Yang Sichang moved: "How do you say this?" ”
The staff member did not answer this question, but asked: "Forgive my subordinates for being rude, let me ask the elder Ge, what is the purpose of Yang Xiang's visit to the Changping camp this time, is it to let Governor Lu Yu Gao join forces with him, or to hinder his adventurous plan to Jiannu, or is it afraid that Lu Jiandou will be defeated, in order to protect his reputation as a commander who has won all battles?" ”
As soon as he said this, another colleague sneered loudly: "What you are asking is really ridiculous, Governor Lu has insulted Yang Xiang very much, why do we want to protect his reputation of winning all battles?" Yang Xiang is just a hundred battles elite who feel sorry for the two towns of Xuanda, and he doesn't want to see these 10,000 soldiers accompany Lu Xiangsheng on his adventure, and he just wants to retain a trace of vitality for the country
。 ”
The staff member who asked the question earlier looked at Yang Sichang with a straight face: "Yang Xiang, but that's the case?" ”
Yang Sichang didn't answer, just sighed, and tears fell.
The staff member: "It seems that the subordinates guessed correctly, the elder of the pavilion is here today for more than 10,000 Xuan soldiers." That's why the subordinates said, Yang Xiang, you are fighting for the wrong person. ”
YANG Sichang; "You go on."
The staff sneered: "Governor Lu is going to take an adventure, just bring his old headquarters of the Tianxiong Army with him, and the two towns of Xuanda are not his personal property." is afraid that he can keep the two armies of Xuanda, Lu Xiangsheng wants to mess around, and let him go. There is no need to rush back to the capital, you might as well go and meet Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, and Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu, to see if you can fight for it. ”
Several staff members buzzed and whispered, and they all whispered: "Wonderful, this method is second!" ”
Yang Sichanghuo stood still, his expression moved.
After a while, he bit it and said: "Yang Guozhu is only afraid that it will not work, this person is quite stylish, and he has a close personal relationship with Lu Jiandou. It is said that he was able to achieve the position of the chief military officer of Xuanfu back then, and he received the favor of Donglin, but I am afraid that he will go to the black with Lu Xiangsheng. It's Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, who can be seen. This person is neither a general, nor a serious background, and he is also a sleek person, but he is sober and steady, but he can talk about it, you go and contact him. ”
The staff member showed joy on his face: "The elder can see it. ”
was about to go down to make arrangements, but Yang Sichang called him out.
After thinking for a moment, he sighed again: "Come to think of it, Wang Pu will definitely agree, so that the Datong border army can be regarded as preserved." As for the Xuanfu, there are many old departments of the Tianxiong Army, if they are not in this battle, it is distressing. Especially Sun Yuan's Ningxiang Army and Wang Yuncheng's Sichuan Army are Lu Jiandou's right-hand men. In particular, the Naning Township Army is said to be a first-class strong soldier that is not inferior to Jiannu Baijia...... They...... Is it possible to ......"
