Chapter 998: Things Are Turning for the Better



This kind of 'temptation' and 'confusion' of the total annihilation of the Jiannu Duoduo Department is huge, of course, this feat can only be swallowed by Sun Yuan, and there is only one Ningxiang army in the world. (Marshmallow)-.. -Everyone still has self-knowledge, but they understand that their own troops are really on the battlefield, and if they can't say it, it's the life of cannon fodder, and they don't know how ugly it is for Shangjianu to die

Even Gao Jie, who has always been unruly, was a little lacking in confidence in the enemy after he was beaten all over the ground by Haoge's 2,000 Blue Banner soldiers in Henan.

The sky fell, and there was a tall man on top of it, so everyone pinned their hopes on Sun Yuan. As for what Shi Kefa said, the proposal to let all the troops go to Sizhou and Jiannu for a decisive battle is unwilling in his heart.

Sun Yuan asked everyone to only keep Yangzhou's words, which was exactly what they wanted. If you don't have to fight and die, it's naturally better not to be good. If Sun Yuan's plan is successful, he eats 'meat', and everyone shares some soup and water, which is not bad!

As a result, some people took the lead in standing up and applauded Sun Yuan's plan loudly.

Since someone spoke, everyone else also echoed Sun Yuan's strategy, praising Sun Yuan as Sun Wu was alive, and comparing his proposed plan of 'luring' the enemy under the city of Yangzhou and gathering and annihilating him to an ambush on all sides of the Chu and Han dynasties.

This made Sun Yuan a little embarrassed, and he also knew in his heart that giving up Sizhou was not a terrible plan. The reason why he refused to defend Sizhou was that he still refused to let the Yangzhou Suppression Riot he led 'exposed' under the enemy's troops, which caused his strength to suffer. To lead the water of disaster to Yangzhou is to keep the enemy out of the country's 'gate'. It is conceivable that once Duoduo comes, the people of Yangzhou must endure hardships, but they can't take care of that much.

In the end, Chen Qianfu, who was responsible for guarding Yangzhou City, and Liu Zhaoji and He Gang, the commanders of the Zhongguan Battalion, also agreed with Sun Yuan's opinion and felt that it was better not to send troops to Sizhou.

Yue Qijie and Chen Qianfu went back to Nanjing with Sun Yuan to tell Shi Kefa the situation before, and explained to the imperial court the loss of Yudong and Xuzhou by the way. Yue Qijie is a close confidant of Ma Shiying, and there are people in the court, so he was sent by the imperial court to serve in Guangzhou, where there is no war, which can be regarded as a good deal. As for Chen Qianfu, because he had no background, he was sent back to continue to be his Henan patrol. Lord Chen also had no choice but to come to Yangzhou and return to the Henan army.

He sued Shi Kefa this time, and now that it has fallen into the hands of others, he is also worried in his heart, and he doesn't know how Shi Ge will rectify himself.

But to his surprise, Shi Kefa not only did not clean up Lord Chen, but took him under the account, saying that Chen Qianfu had some experience in leading troops and was a talent, if he didn't use it, it would be a pity. [Marshmallow updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, no pop-ups, I like this kind of website the most, be sure to praise]

I have to say that although Shi Kefa is a limited person, he has a big heart and a high personality charm for a civil official who was born as a jinshi

。 If it was replaced by Sun Yuan, Shi Ge Lao would not be so reused!

Shi Kefa was originally a person who did not understand military affairs and had no ideas, and when he saw that the people under his command had spoken out against defending Sizhou, he also felt that Sun Yuan and the generals' words were reasonable.

Slightly bowed: "The east slave is powerful, the morale is flourishing, this time from the south, the sharpness should not be tried, and raise the whole front to wait for it to be killed, but it is also in line with the art of war, so give up Sizhou." At this time, he no longer mentioned, "Could it be that according to the meaning of the Marquis of Yingchuan, he watched Sizhou fall, and the people became the souls of Jiannu?" If there are really people who die under the enemy's butcher's knife, can Yingchuan Hou rest assured? ”

However, he still said: "The soldiers and horses that have retreated from Huai, Si, Fengyang, Xuzhou, and eastern Henan are still on the road and need to be answered." The north of the Huai River was in chaos, and the orders of the Governor could not be conveyed. Unable to pick up the defeated army, the old man was uneasy, no matter what, he had to go to Sizhou in person. Generals, who wants to go with you? ”

Hearing his words, everyone was startled, joking, Duoduo's army of ghosts knows when they will be killed in Sizhou, isn't it going there to die at this time? Moreover, the soldiers are 'chaotic', and it is impossible to meet so many soldiers and horses to return to Yangzhou.

So, everyone secretly lowered their heads, pretending not to hear, for fear of meeting Shi Ke's gaze.

In this way, among everyone present, only Shi Kefa, Sun Yuan, Huaiyang Governor Wei Yinwen and Gao Jie raised their heads.

Wei Yinwen is a civil official, and he has to be responsible for sending a messenger to repair the city defense of Yangzhou, and it is not his turn to do this. As for Gao Jie, if he wants to command the troops in Guazhou, he can't go.

In this way, Sun Yuan held his head high, but it was a bit of an automatic invitation.

Shi Kefa said: "The Marquis of Yingchuan has outstanding prestige in the army, and he also has a mobile cavalry in his hand, so let's go to Sizhou with the old man!" ”

Sun Yuanyi had no choice, and second, he also wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on with today's Jiannu. His subordinates are all cavalry, and he doesn't have to worry about accidents, so he nodded: "Shoufu, the Golden Eagle Battalion under my command is stationed in Wanshou Town, outside Yangzhou City, and I am willing to go." ”

With Sun Yuan coming forward to take on this difficult task, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time

After the meeting ended, Sun Yuan talked with Shi Kefa again and asked which troops he needed to pick up when he went to Sizhou this time.

Shi Kefa replied that in addition to a part of the Qin army that had retreated from Xuzhou and Henan, there were more than a dozen large and small troops. For example, the troops of Ying Tingji of Pisu Dao, Li Qifeng, the general soldier of Gansu Town, and the army of Gao Qifeng, the superintendent of Dao, Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu of Yulin Town, Shaanxi, the Sichuan general Hu Shangyou, Han Shangliang's Sichuan Army, and the Sizhou garrison...... The two palms were not enough.

In addition to the local army and the Xiangyong in Jiangbei, these troops also had the Ming army that had retreated from the north to Jiangbei one after another in the past year. These armies are the same as the four towns in Jiangbei, although the main army is not much, but they can drag their families and mouths, but the number of them is quite large.

For example, although Li Qifeng, the chief soldier of Gansu Town, and Gao Qifeng, the supervisor of the army, only have 4,000 men and horses, the small military family and military households together have 50,000 or 60,000.

If these horses are not taken back to Yangzhou, they may fall into the hands of Jiannu, and these Ming troops who have no discipline will surrender to Jiannu and become the vanguard of the attack on Nanming.

Sun Yuan was surprised when he heard that there was such an army that needed to be answered, and at the same time, he said: "Elder Ge, the situation is already urgent, and it is no longer possible to take them back, and it is too late. ”

Shi Kefa sighed: "Take as many as you can, and do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." My Yangzhou troops are insufficient, and the Qin army, Ningxiang army, and Henan army together are only 40,000, and Jiannu Duoduo has 80,000. We can have one more soldier and one more strength. It would be nice if Lu Fengjun could stay in Jiangbei. ”

Of course, that's just that.

Zuo Liang's 'jade' suddenly killed Nanjing, which was a direct challenge to the throne of Emperor Hongguang. The imperial court was eager to eat its 'meat' and sleep its skin, and constantly urged soldiers and horses from all over the country to suppress the 'rebellion' of the left, so that it reached the point of desperation. Under the situation that the Qing army invaded the south and Zuo Liang's 'jade' committed crimes along the river, Emperor Hongguang once summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures. Yao Sixiao, Yu Shi Qiao Kepin, and Cheng Youqian, the 'waiter' of the Criminal Department, said: "Zuo Liang's 'jade' is a little slow, and the north is especially anxious, and there is no withdrawal of Jiangbei soldiers and horses, sticking to Huai and Yang, and controlling Ying and Shou. Emperor Hongguang also thought that it was not appropriate for Jiangbei soldiers and horses to be transferred from the flood land too much, and replied: "Huang Degong's soldiers should stay in Jiangbei for defense." Ma Shiying was afraid that the left soldiers would come to Beijing, and his own 'life' would not be guaranteed, so he angrily pointed at Yao Sixiao and others and scolded: "Er Donglin, still using the excuse to defend the river, 'wanting' to go against the left? The northern soldiers are to, and they can still negotiate the money, if the left is reversed, then if they are high-ranking officials, my monarch and ministers are dead! The minister has been transferred to the south of the Yangtze River. It is better to die in the north than to die in rebellion. ”

Ma Shiying even had to transfer the defenders in Yangzhou City and the Henan Army to cross the river to conquer Zuoliang's 'jade', but Shi Kefa was the first assistant and he was a political enemy, so he went back directly

As for Sun Yuan, he doesn't 'urinate' Ma Shiying's pot.

Now that Ma Shiying's power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, Sun Yuan and Shi Kefa can ignore it. It is also because of the relationship between these two people that the situation in Jiangbei will not be exhausted because of the 'pumping' of soldiers and horses, and it will not be out of control.

Sun Yuan nodded again: "Shoufu is right, if you can take back one person, it will be counted as one person!" ”

After a day of rectification in the old camp, before Sun Yuan could pull out, there was good news: Zuo Liang's 'jade' died, and the envoy of the imperial court to appease Zuo had arrived in Jiujiang.

At the same time, Emperor Hongguang had ordered Huang Degong's Lufeng army to return to Jiangbei and join the defensive battle of Yangzhou.

This is great news, and it shows that things are already changing for the better.

In general, Ma Shiying is also a rare talent in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, with means, soldiers, and action, which can be seen in his cleaning up of the Donglin Party. It's a pity that in dealing with the crisis on Zuo Liang's 'jade' Qingjun's side, he didn't behave very well, and he was reckless as if he was a child.

However, it can also be understood that first of all, if Zuo Liang's 'jade' enters Beijing, the first thing to be liquidated is Ma Shiying, which involves the 'sex' life of his net worth, and Lao Ma is also confused. Secondly, on the one hand, the left-wing army has been killed in Anqing, and on the other hand, Jiannu has raised the strength of the whole country to attack in three ways, Ma Yaocao can't bear this pressure and becomes hysterical.

Now, the imperial court suddenly agreed to appease the left department, and no matter what, Sun Yuan and Shi Kefa were extremely happy.

In Sun Yuan's view, after Zuo Mengeng and Hui Dengxiang died in Zuo Liang's 'jade', the whole person was 'chaotic'. Zuo's prestige is extremely high, and as soon as he dies, these two people will not be able to suppress their arrogant soldiers at all, and if one is not good, the army will be divided. Now, the imperial court has come to appease them, and with the prestige of the imperial court, the troops have finally been preserved. As long as the imperial court guarantees their interests, accepting the appeasement is also a good way out.

There are also 100,000 horses on the left, and Wuchang can't go back, but the troops can also be stationed in Jiujiang or find another place to settle, and at least they can delay the offensive of Jiannu when Azig attacks in the east, so as to win a respite for the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Kefa was happy that Huang Degong did not have to participate in the civil war and returned to Jiangbei to join the offensive and defensive battle of Yangzhou. Who would think that they have fewer troops at hand?
