Chapter 705: The Trapped Beast is still fighting
The three generals of Datong have different thoughts. 【】
Zhang Hui was worried that after the Tartars were captured by the Holy Driver, he threatened to persuade him to surrender; Sun Zhen is not too worried about the safety of the holy driver, there is an emperor who can not surrender, there is a precedent for this matter, as long as he does it, he is afraid of the Tartars turning their faces, his own soldiers and horses are already unstable, but the other party is coming with the power of a big victory, if you really want to fight, it is not an opponent.
Wang Xun's mind is a little more complicated, his appearance here is actually an accident, according to the original plan, after the emperor and the Tartars fought, he should return to Datong.
Although he made a lot of promises, he and the people behind him, as well as the little prince, knew very well that the cooperation between the two sides would end in the victory of this battle. Therefore, the little prince will always avoid fighting against the approaching Zhengde, because he has to spare his strength to deal with the Ming army in Yanjing and Jizhen.
It is precisely because he knows the other party's ambition that Wang Xun dares to run to a place like Huanzhou where there is no danger to defend, and he bets that the other party will not consume strength in Datong. The relationship between the two sides was quite harmonious in the past, at least the local big families were like this, and the important surnames of Datong were far from being compared with the capital.
But there is always a case, the Tartars have always been untrustworthy, not long after the scouts on the front line returned, the other side came one after another, it is obvious that they won very simply, and they were carried away by the victory, and wanted to be surrendered to the Datong border army as cannon fodder, what is so strange?
“…… Go and see, the Tartars are running all over the mountains like crazy, some have fallen from their horses and died, some have drowned...... There are hundreds of them just by the mark, and even the Sanggan River has been cut off, and the river is full of Tartar corpses! "It was obviously not the Tartars that the soldiers were afraid of, but the strange scenes they had seen with their own eyes.
"Huh?" The three generals were dumbfounded, judging by the scene depicted by the pro-soldiers, the Tartars were clearly fleeing!
But how is this possible? There are a lot of Tartar soldiers, and they are successful in surprise attacks, so the battle situation should obviously be the opposite, right? And, even if there was a chance that the Guards would repeat the miracle of two years ago, it shouldn't be so soon?
"Let's take a look before we ......" This time, the minds of the three of them were finally unified. There was no need to discuss, Wang Xun took the lead, and the other two followed, and the three of them hurried up to the city wall.
"The Tartars really lost, and they lost badly...... Sun Zhen muttered.
Compared with what the soldiers saw, there is more empirical evidence of the defeat and escape of the Tartars, because in the direction of the crossing of the Sanggan River, the banner of the Ming army is faintly visible, and there are small groups of rangers wearing Ming army uniforms chasing and killing the Tartars in the near distance.
These cavalry were mixed in the torrent of rout, and they seemed so weak and weak, but they were very harmonious. Except for the Tartars, who were slashed and slashed by them, the other captives seemed not to see anyone killing their comrades, but only frantically urged their horses to flee north, without sparing the horsepower at all, and did not intend to pay attention to the affairs around them.
"Such a big victory, I'm afraid it's only ...... in the founding years" Zhang Hui's eyes became brighter and brighter, although he didn't know what was happening on the battlefield, but the facts were in front of him, and the Tartars had been so defeated that they didn't even have the will to resist.
Such a mighty record even makes him don't know what words to use to describe it, so it can only be used in the hearts of warriors, and the record of the supreme founding ancestor can be compared with it.
"General Soldier Wang, the Son of Heaven's guards have won a complete victory, and we haven't opened the city quickly and intercepted and killed the Tartar rout, how long will we wait?" Zhang Hui shouted excitedly.
In front of him is the Tatar king's tent elite soldiers, if they kill all these people, the steppe will not be able to recover for at least ten years, in these ten years, the Tartars are not to mention a large-scale Koubian, I am afraid it will be difficult to even protect themselves. You must know that since today's son dares to drive the expedition in person, it is naturally reasonable to follow the example of Chengzu's northern expedition.
Thinking of joining the army in the northern expedition and sealing the wolf Juxu, Zhang Hui's mood became more and more excited.
"Yes, Lord Commander, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you will be damned!" Sun Zhen echoed meaningfully.
Wang Xun's various actions before, in addition to welcoming Wenchen, were not because of the psychology of greed for life and fear of death. But now, it's just about reaping the first rank and the merits of the war, so why not do it?
As far as Sun Zhen knows, the champion Hou is spicy to Wenchen, but he is still quite lenient with martial artists, and when Zhang Yu, who offended him in Jizhen, he was able to save his family. If you can make meritorious contributions, not only can you protect your own people, maybe even Wang Xun can save his surname.
"Uh......" Wang Xun's hand was raised and lowered, and he couldn't make a decision.
He was not reconciled, he did not understand, he really didn't know, how did things come to this point? How perfect was the plan made by Han Butang and Governor Choi? Even if you look at it with his decades of experience in the army, you can't find the slightest flaw.
And, when the plan started, it went smoothly. Isn't Xuanfu Zhang Jun fooled? It's just an urgent document from himself, coupled with an order from the Ministry of War, to bury the 50,000 elites of Xuanfu without much effort, and then smoothly lead out the little emperor.
I have to say that the bigwigs in the court still know the emperor's surname very well, and they know that the emperor, who has been training his troops, will not let go of this opportunity, because since the time of the prince, he has been a person who is unwilling to be lonely and rejoices in his achievements, and Wang Xun also recognizes this.
However, it was such an unobtrusive emperor, and after he came out of the customs to face the battle, everything became wrong. So, there was the little prince who retreated to Datong, there was the big drama with Wang Xun, there was the battle of Yingzhou, and there was the current scene...... Could it be ...... Wang Xun's eyes darkened, are those rumors in the capital true? When today's son is really the holy son of heaven blessed by a hundred gods, all conspiracies and tricks cannot take effect on him? Just like the setbacks suffered by the bigwigs in the court, the conspiracy on the battlefield was easily thwarted by him?
Zhang and Sun Erjun's continuous persuasion, Wang Xun listened to it but did not listen; He also turned a blind eye to the embarrassing scene of the Tartars running suddenly under the city. He has no time to pay attention to these external affairs, he collaborates with the enemy, he traps friendly troops, he ...... All kinds of big crimes, he knows very well that he doesn't have to want to stay in this life, even if the emperor's surname is careless, he can ignore these trivial things, but the champion Hou is ruthless, so his heart is very chaotic, and all kinds of thoughts are staggered, making him at a loss.
"General Soldier Wang......" As if he had received a big slap, Wang Xun woke up suddenly and turned around like a whirlwind.
The person who called him was a middle-aged scribe, and if anyone who had been to the palace of Wang Shilang in the capital would definitely feel that this person was vaguely familiar with his eyebrows, and he was quite similar to Wang Shilang.
"Prince Wang, now...... Can you teach me? Wang Xun asked eagerly as if he wanted to grasp a life-saving straw. This person is Wang Qiong's eldest son, the dynasty, who specially came to assist and supervise Wang Xun, which is equivalent to supervising the army.
"Mr. Wang, take a step to speak...... Although he is quite calm, the dynasty's expression is also very solemn, the Tartars have failed, and the plan is likely to be revealed, even if Xie Hong doesn't know how many specific participants there are, but when did the thief be reasonable? As long as a few people directly involved are arrested, how can Miki not get the truth?
Thinking of the rumored new torture tools of the factory guards, Wang Chao also braved the cold from the heart outward, mixed with the cold wind outside, almost freezing him completely.
"Mr. Wang, the plan has not completely failed, the stakes are very high, I didn't tell you ...... before" dragged Wang Xun to a remote place, Wang Chao whispered: "The adults in Beijing are thoughtful, Jiangnan and Gyeonggi have laid their backs, Gyeonggi is just a disturbance, but Jiangnan is a sure win." ”
When he said this, the dynasty was also a little weak-hearted, but there were too many strategies to protect everything in the Zhengde Dynasty, but most of them failed, although the Jiangnan thing looked beautiful, but who knows what happened? If it weren't for the fact that Zhengde and Xie Hong were both in Datong, he would definitely not be able to take care of Jiangnan, and he wouldn't even have the heart to persuade Wang Xun.
"Lord Ning wants to ......," Wang Xun's eyes widened.
"Shhh, General Wang Bing, don't make a noise first, ...... over there" Wang Chao signaled with his eyes, Zhang and Sun Erjiang only gave in for the time being, and after seeing the defeat and escape of the Tartars, they were already bent on making meritorious service and atonement, and before these two people were settled, the matter could not be spread.
"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to raise troops to respond to Jiangnan."
"But......" Wang Xun hesitated, the holy car was in Datong, and he would definitely be the first target to quell the rebellion if he raised his own troops. Attracting the emperor's attention can delay his trip and buy time for King Ning in Jiangnan, but he has to confess his eight achievements.
He glanced at the city uncontrollably, and even the elite soldiers of the king's tent were beaten into this moral surname, even if the soldiers and horses under his command were desperate for themselves, they were not opponents? What's more, if the enemy is the emperor, the army under his command will either mutiny or collapse, and it is impossible to muster the courage to fight the enemy.
"It's definitely not possible here, and it won't work in the field, for today's plan, I can only go back to Datong first, and then defend the city!" Wang Chao shook his head, "The guards and the captive cavalry fought fiercely for a long time, and the sound of killing shook the sky, although they won in the end, but the casualties will not be small, plus they are here for the field battle, presumably they will not bring siege equipment, and the defense of the city is still somewhat successful." ”
Seeing that Wang Xun nodded, with a little emotion on his face, Wang Chao continued to persuade: "Datong has Governor Cui and Han Butang here, when the time comes, as long as the fake Empress Dowager Yizhi or the edict of the former emperor, saying that the current emperor is not the flesh and blood of the former emperor, and the position is not right, you can make the soldiers and people in the city have doubts, and when the time comes, are you still afraid that you will not be able to hold the city?" ”
"If not, when the emperor arrives and begins to liquidate, how can you and me, as well as Datong and all the righteous people in the court, escape from the poisonous hands of the thief? You know, he went on a killing spree in Jiangnan and killed countless innocent people in vain! ”
"What Wang Gongzi said is that the last general will go to give the order now and return to Datong with the whole army." Wang Xun finally made up his mind, he nodded, raised his hand to summon his henchmen, turned around, he suddenly hesitated again, "Sun Zhen's family is not many, it's okay to say, but Zhang Hui ......"
Wang Chaoyin smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, just be flexible, you only tell them that it is a pursuit, anyway, the direction is about the same, wait until you are halfway, if you have a mental calculation or not, are you afraid that there will be no chance?" ”
"Okay, that's it!"
