Chapter 277: Battle (13)

"The minister is not to oppose the transfer of troops to guard Tongguan." Luo Hu's expression was very calm, although he was half-bowed, he looked directly at Li Zicheng, and said eloquently: "At present, the enemy army has not arrived in Shaanzhou, Ma Shiyao and the others can still carry it, and it will be difficult for the army to move back again, so the minister means that you might as well wait a little longer." ”

Liu Zongmin said: "Wait a minute, you have to adjust, why bother so much?" ”

Li Zicheng knew that Luo Hu and Li Yan were very close, so his heart moved and asked, "Luo Hu, what is your intention when you say this?" ”

"The puppet Ming is still deploying troops!"

Luo Hu paused word by word, and his voice was staggered, like the sound of gold and stone.

What he is saying now actually has a lot to do with Li Yan, and all kinds of details are, of course, what Li Yan said when he discussed the war with him in private. However, Li Yan's identity is embarrassing now, and it is inconvenient for him to express himself directly, and he feels quite sad when he thinks about it.

"Xiaohuzi is saying," Tian Jianxiu frowned and said: "The imperial court and officers and soldiers are going to fight in Henan or Shandong, so if you make such a fuss, then the king of Yu from the east can't come to us for trouble, right?" ”

"That's right."

Although Tian Jianxiu's words of "the court, officers and soldiers" are really unorthodox, he has always been like this, and everyone just didn't hear it.

However, this person is also very keen, and he is worthy of the identity of the commander of the battalions.

After more than ten years of fighting and bringing more than ten years of soldiers, this feeling and understanding are still there.

"If that's the case, there's really no hurry."

Li Zicheng became more and more convinced that it was Li Yan's judgment, and frankly speaking, his jealousy of Li Yan came from this.

The people are like in a fog, and only those who see the farthest and brightest are enough to be afraid. When he was in Shangluo Mountain, or when he went to Gucheng to see Zhang Xianzhong, many of his subordinates were discouraged, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were only a thousand people, and almost all the horses, weapons, armor and stomach were lost.

There is not much silver taels and grain left, and after the army, it is not so miserable.

But at that time, Li Zicheng could see that the imperial court was already in the bag, Henan, like northern Shaanxi, suffered major disasters year after year, and the whole Henan was a big powder keg, which could be exploded with a little spark.

Later, as he expected, entering Henan from Shangluo was also the proudest thing in Li Zicheng's life.

But in front of him, a person who sees things more accurately than him, and whose vision is farther than him, whether it is family background or ability, is above him, and the process of transformation from appreciation and joy at the beginning to jealousy and vigilance is not strange at all.

However, beware is beware, Li Yan's judgment Li Zicheng has always been in mind.

Standing up at the moment, he walked around the imperial tent a few times, because he saw that Li Yan had been silent, Li Zicheng felt bored for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Wait a few more days to see if there is any new news." However, I don't think the puppet Ming is likely to make a big move, they can't wait for something to take advantage of Pingkou, the more lively the fight between the East and us, the happier those bastards will be. ”

"Of course this is true for those who have no knowledge, but the pseudo-Ming crown prince is in Huai'an, and he is a knowledgeable person."

When it came to the crown prince, everyone including Li Zicheng was ugly.

Until now, many people think that Wu Sangui resolutely refused to surrender, and it was because the crown prince Feng Chongzhen fled that Wu Sangui and other ministers loyal to the Ming Dynasty insisted on not surrendering.

Li Zicheng's life is longitudinal, Chongzhen thirteen years later, gradually into a good situation, these years have not suffered a loss, that is, in Kaifeng was shot blind by Chen Yongfu in one eye, in addition, the vertical and horizontal eyes have been invincible in the world, as a result of a hairy boy suffered such a big loss, to the hands of the crown prince Zhu Cihong ruined the good situation.

"Cough," Niu Jinxing coughed lightly, flashed out, and said with a dry smile: "What General Luo said also has some truth, the ministers see, just wait a few more days, but the generals still have to be prepared in the past few days, so that after the emperor gives the order, they can leave quickly." ”

"So be it!"

Li Zicheng's face was gloomy, and he said to Liu Tichun: "Erhu, Xiao Liu Ying sent more spies out, don't be afraid of breaking people, by the way, you have a woman from the healthy women's camp, I heard that she went to Huai'an?" ”

"There's one, it's called Huimei."

Speaking of this, Liu Tichun's expression was also very embarrassed, it was Li Yan, and his expression was also moved.

"Let's see, think about it, can you make this girl turn back. Dongyu's side is full of Tartars, we can't do anything, Pseudo-Ming's side, see if there is any way to know some exact news. ”

"Yes, the minister will do it."

"Scattered, scattered!"

Emperor Dashun turned around and entered the inner tent, only Wu Ruyi and Li Shuangxi and other generals followed, and the rest of the generals dispersed in a hurry.

Tian Jianxiu was there, and Liu Zongmin didn't say anything, but when he went out, he glanced at Li Yan.

Today's incident, he has already concluded that it is Li Yan's proposition.

When everyone went out, Song Xiance stopped Li Yan and blamed: "Lin Quan, it's too unwise for you to do this. ”

Li Yan smiled: "I didn't say it. ”

"Who doesn't know what you think?"

Song Xiance complained, but then said: "But the matter of moving the army is too big, you have been running to Luo Hu for the past few days, I know that you must have something to say." Lin Quan, in your opinion, will the imperial court send troops on a large scale? ”

"It's hard, it's hard."

Li Yan's voice was low, and he said to Song Xiance: "Do you think, if you change the emperor or the generals, how can you take the fire for others?" ”

"Well, so do I."

"But...... Let's take a look at it again. ”

There is an unfinished meaning in Li Yan's words, what kind of person Song Xiance is, he immediately looked at Li Yan.

Seeing him like this, Li Yan smiled and said: "When it comes to Huimei, don't you know that Huimei's surname was saved by the Red Lady." ”

"I see!"

There is no need to say much to talk to smart people, Song Xiance is extremely short, and he doesn't know where these seven-trick exquisite hearts come from. Li Yan released the news to Luo Hu, but his news came from Huimei in Huai'an.

Of course, this layer cannot be broken, and those who are not jealous say it as a merit, and those who are jealous say it because they have ill intentions and are in contact with the enemy.

There may be nothing to use now, and it may be used as a handle for incriminating evidence in the future.

Since this is the case, of course, Song Xiance is inconvenient to ask more, just pinched his eyelids, and smiled at Li Yan: "Lin Quan, you are acting now, and you have finally taught me to rest assured." ”

This naturally means that Li Yan has become a little slippery, and everyone understands this matter today, but there is no evidence at all.

"Haha, the military advisor has politely passed the award, and the award has been awarded."

The two parted for a while, and when they arrived at the gate, Li Yan saw that the flag officials had gone out to give orders, and Zhang Nai, a Chinese officer, was checking the grain and grass in the camp with a group of grain and grass officers, and when he saw him coming, he quickly turned his head.

He sighed in his heart, and was about to speed up his horse, but saw Luo Hu coming over.

The two of them joined forces for a while, and Luo Hu said: "Deputy military division, the last general was in a hurry today, and said your opinion, although the emperor and General Liu were silent, they must also know that it was your opinion, and this matter was reckless." ”

"Fine, okay."

Li Yan smiled and said: "I said it to you, that is, to ask you to play the emperor." ”

Luo Hu also knew the reason, but his face was still uneasy, it was indeed a life-and-death crisis in front of him, he was young after all, and he was a little flustered.

"You're so good at training, you don't have to worry about the rest."

In the cold wind like a knife, Li Yan and Luo Hu saw that the soldiers of the Shun army of the brigade were running and busy, and the order to move the camp had gone down, and there were flags waving everywhere and horns whimpering.

On the side of this white water, they have been stationed for a long time, and the soldiers originally thought that they were going north to meet the enemy, but now they suddenly went south to Tongguan, although they were far away, they could clearly feel the breath of panic.

"I hope ...... Hope! ”

Li Yan's facial expression also became extremely resolute, originally in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely contacted the people sent by Huai'an, or ignored them at all.

It's just that the other party seems to recognize him, and every once in a while, he will inform Huai'an of the general strategy and the movement of the army.

Therefore, Li Yan knew much more about the situation in Huai'an and Henan and Shandong than the Shun army. just knows a lot, but he can't say it frankly, this kind of depression really makes him sad.

But at this moment, I can't care about it.

He knows the general trend of the world better than ordinary people, and naturally has simple national feelings. Therefore, after the Qing army entered the customs and occupied Yanjing, he keenly felt that the direction and focus of the struggle should no longer be the Ming Dynasty, but the more brutal and vicious Dongjiao.

It's just that he can't say this kind of understanding, and once he says it, there will be a disaster of killing.

At this time, he had already made up his mind, and after returning home, he sent a letter to Huai'an, playing the crown prince, if the Ming army can attack on the front line of Shandong and Henan, then the Shun army will be able to fight a good battle in northern Shaanxi!

This kind of approach is, of course, very emotional and idealistic, but he Li Yan asked himself, from the son of a family to a lifting person, and then rising up against the army, which step is he taking now, and is not the work of an idealized scholar?

In the wind, Li Yan, who dances like a good son, can only smile.

………… On November 11, Li Yan's letter did not reach Zhu Cihong's side, but the crown prince had already decided to fight.

The results of the cavalry dispatch are very significant, the Ming army and the Qing army have fought for decades, and the decapitation may not add up to as much credit as the young men of his cavalry battalion in the past few months.

Lu Dalei's sentry cavalry alone, there are more than 70 levels of beheading, and the cavalry of the rest of the posts and teams has also won a lot, and the real Tartars plus the Mongolian and Han armies have more than 700 heads.

Ning Jin was victorious, and the beheadings were not half of this number.

Of course, Ning Jin is mainly defending the city, and the Qing army occupies the initiative on the battlefield, and may snatch back most of the dead corpses, resulting in insufficient capture of the Ming army, but removing various reasons, the cavalry battles in the past few months have been defeated, which has already seen the effectiveness of his training in Huaishang for several months!
