Chapter 767: Inquiry
.cc [marshmallow]
The situation in front of you is completely different from the information you know in advance.
According to yesterday's report from the scouts, Gao Jie only dispatched 3,000 elite cavalry under Li Chengdong because he knew that Taizhou had become an empty city and was in a hurry to seize this transportation hub and political and cultural center between the Soviet Union and China.
3,000 cavalry, calculated by equipping each main force with one horse and one auxiliary, at most no more than 10,000 people.
The torches in front of him were boundless, and the number of enemies in front of him had reached 30,000 based on one torch per person. Moreover, the sea of enemy torches is still spreading forward, and it is not known how many men and horses are following behind.
Could it be that Gao Jie's whole army has been dispatched?
Not right either.
Gao Jie's troops were all Han in the northwest, and most of the troops were cavalry.
Thousands of troops marched, and the horses' hooves were bursting, and they had already trampled on this dawn land trembling.
The enemy in front of him walked very quietly, and looked like he was all infantry.
Gao Jie obviously doesn't need cavalry, but lets the infantry go ahead, isn't this in line with the art of war?
"Isn't it Gao Jiejun who came?" Fu Shanshan frowned, "Which way is this sacred?" ”
Tang asked: "General, could it be Liu Zeqing." ”
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Sun Yuan was also confused: "Liu Zeqing is now hoarding troops in Tianchang and Liuhe, and he is only a stone's throw away from Yangzhou." () It is also possible to suddenly come over and rob Taizhou. ”
Fu Shan looked at the sea of fire in front of him, and his eyes began to drift, as if he was no longer in focus. Such an expression has not appeared on him for a long time. Obviously, the military advisor of Yangzhou Town fell into thought: "Gao Jie and Taichu have an enmity between you, and he wants to send troops to Rugao, and he has already seized Ningxiang Town, so he provokes first." Our army fought back, and it was also morally defensible. If it is Liu Zeqing, things are a little troublesome, after all, he had a good relationship with Taichu when he was in Shandong. Moreover, he did not provoke Yangzhou Town
。 Taizhou is a borderless land, he wants to rob it, and our army is really not good to turn around. ”
Before Gao Jie's troops converged on Gao, Li Chengdong's forward troops had already occupied Ningxiang Township, Sun Yuan's birthplace. Fortunately, there was only one thousand households in Ningxiang Township, and Sun Yuan had already moved the center of gravity of his strategy south to Chongming Island and Nantong in recent years, leaving only one hundred guards in Ningxiang. As soon as Li Chengdong arrived, the more than 100 people retreated in advance.
The donkey sneered: "Why is it not easy to turn his face, after Liu Zeqing came to Jianghuai from Shandong, he harmed the local people for the sake of harm." It is logical for me to crusade against this thief in Yangzhou Town. Taizhou is our general's, I don't care if he is Li Chengdong or Liu Zeqing, since he is here, he will fight the same. ”
Fu Shan's eyes suddenly froze, becoming as sharp as a knife: "General Jiang Wu is right, no matter who he is, since he appeared in Yangzhou Mansion, he will be killed together." In the beginning, now Beijing has fallen, the imperial throne is vacant, and even the imperial court no longer exists. It is a good opportunity for us to expand our strength and eliminate potential hidden dangers. No matter who comes from the other side, since there are forces of such a size, it is inevitable that they will not become the opponent of our army in the future, and they are about to take this opportunity to destroy them. Otherwise, once the new monarch in the capital ascends the throne and hundreds of officials return to the court, the military courts of Yangzhou Mansion will inevitably be resettled. When the time comes, a holy decree will come down, and you will obey it or not? ”
This is already a naked feudal town mentality.
Hearing this, Sun Yuan also felt strange. It is said that after the fall of Beijing, the hanging of Chongzhen, and the news that the crown prince and the king of Yong and Ding fell into the hands of Li Zicheng reached the south, the officials who stayed in the capital would begin to select a new king. According to the real history, at this moment Nanming has been established.
But it's been so long beforehand, and there hasn't been any movement in Nanjing. Moreover, there is no news from the crown prince, King Yong, and King Ding. Thinking about it, Nanjing's Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Ma Shiying and other big officials are still waiting, and they dare not easily establish the emperor's candidate. Otherwise, if the crown prince and the two kings of Yong and Ding fled from Beijing to Liudu, things would be in trouble, and it would be difficult to make the old things of Yingzong and Xianzong repeat, so that the already weak Ming Dynasty would be divided.
Sun Yuan didn't know that in real history, the person who brought back the news of the crown prince and the two princes falling into the hands of the enemy was called Wei Jiong, who was originally a cabinet scholar, but later escaped from Beijing by luck.
After getting his news, the officials in Nanjing began to establish the new monarch.
But up to now, this scholar of Wei has not yet appeared, and he is already trapped in the city of Beijing.
This is probably the so-called butterfly effect, where everything changes subtly.
At this time, the sea of torches on the opposite side was much wider, and there was still no end in sight, and in terms of its size, it had reached fifty or sixty thousand
。
As the army on the opposite side got closer and closer, the noise and footsteps made the dawn in Taizhou extremely noisy.
Sun Yuan was no longer allowed to think about anything else.
Fu Shan said that it doesn't matter who he comes, he will fight first, which is a bit reckless. If it wasn't Li Chengdong, it wouldn't be Liu Zeqing, and in the Nanzhili area, there were not only Gao, Liu, and Sun Sanlu soldiers and horses, but also Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo. Huang and Liu were stationed in Luzhou with Sun Yuan back then, and when they monitored Zhang Xianzhong, who was wandering eastward, they also had a friendship with Sun Yuan. If it was their troops on the other side, they would rush up to fight like this, and they would be a little embarrassed to meet in the future.
He felt that he had better figure out which army was on the other side first.
"There's no hurry." Thinking of this, Sun Yuan said to Fu Shan: "I'll take ten guards over to see who is coming, and then make a decision." ”
"Ah, General, no!" Tang Wenxing and Fu Shan were taken aback, and stopped them repeatedly.
Sun Yuan was displeased: "That is, come to see what's the big deal, there will be no danger." You don't have to say much about the fact that you should be on the front line in person, so that you can get accurate information. I'll go over and take a look first, Lord Qing, you will command in the center for the time being, this is an order from so-and-so. Let's do it! With that, he took the sword from the guard's hand, jumped on his horse, and rode forward slowly with ten guards.
"General, wait for me!" The donkey also chased after him.
Sun Yuan was unhappy: "Donkey, you are not the kind of person who talks nonsense. ”
The donkey said: "General, the last general will not dare to stop you." If there is a friendly army on the opposite side, then that's it, if it's an enemy, the last general has to cut off a few heads first. I haven't fought in years, and my hands itch tightly. ”
Sun Yuan: "Didn't kill enough yesterday?" ”
Jiang Donkey smiled: "Yesterday there were too few enemies, it was just an appetizing dish, and now it is the main meal." ”
Sun Yuan: "I don't know if the other side is a friend or an enemy, so you want to fight?" ”
As he spoke, the light in front of him became brighter, and after looking at it from here, he roughly calculated that Sun Yuan was about six miles away from the army of unknown origin on the opposite side.
