Chapter 572: A Sudden Change
Hong Chengchou quickly began to arrange, looking for traces of the wanderers in the huge team of homeless people.
To everyone's surprise, such an arrangement is still a little late.
The change appeared in Qin Liangyu's body.
As the chief military officer of Sichuan, Qin Liangyu is most worried about the wanton plundering of the Liukou, the various changes in Sichuan have made Qin Liangyu anxious, Lu Shanji once led the army, entered the territory of Sichuan, and exterminated the Liukou several times, all in vain, and the situation deteriorated even more, because of his own experience, Qin Liangyu did not trust the army sent by the imperial court very much.
This time, the Jiangning battalion entered Sichuan, although Qin Liangyu said that he was happy, the fame of the Jiangning battalion was too great, and he had repeatedly attacked the Liukou, which could be said to be the nemesis of the Liukou, but he also muttered in his heart, who knows if the Jiangning Battalion entered Sichuan, will he actively respond to the battle and find ways to exterminate the Liukou, if he preserves his strength and deals with it casually, he has no way.
After talking with Su Tiancheng, Qin Liangyu's heart became even more uncomfortable, and he almost decided that the Jiangning battalion would not go all out to exterminate the Liukou, Su Tiancheng found so many reasons, but he refused to send troops, this is the best proof.
Therefore, Qin Liangyu, who was in Chongqing, wrote a letter to his son Ma Xianglin, asking Ma Xianglin to convene the White Pole Army and prepare to launch an attack on the Liukou, last year the White Pole Army fought with the Liukou, and suffered heavy losses, this time, the Jiangning battalion came to Sichuan, although the Jiangning Battalion will not send troops for the time being, but the arrogance of the Liukou has suffered a major blow.
It is impossible to exterminate the rogues, but as long as victory is achieved, this is an ironclad fact, in the face of facts. Su Tiancheng couldn't find any other excuse, so he could only send troops to encircle and suppress the rogues.
Qin Liangyu still pays attention to secrecy, she has suffered such a loss before, this time, she will not dispatch the guard army, relying on the strength of the white pole army. Exterminating a small group of rogues is not too much of a problem.
However, when some officials such as the prefect of Chongqing Prefecture and Tongzhi came to visit, Qin Liangyu still revealed his thoughts, meaning that he wanted to ask the officials of Chongqing Prefecture to have the opportunity to help talk to the governor Su Tiancheng, and begged Lord Su to send troops as soon as possible.
After only staying in Chongqing Mansion for five days, Qin Liangyu took his leave.
Su Tiancheng did not deliberately keep it. He needs time to make a full deployment.
Three days after Qin Liangyu left Chongqing Mansion, the prefect of Chongqing Prefecture and Tongzhi came to visit Su Tiancheng.
Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng was a little impatient. His impression of the Chongqing officials was originally bad, and the officials forced the people to rebel. This is the simplest reason, Chongqing is still a certain distance from Kuizhou and other places, but there are also a large number of local displaced people here, which is worth pondering, if it is not for the officials to exploit too much. Who wants to wander out?
Maybe Su Tiancheng's attitude was a little wrong, the prefect and his fellow acquaintances stammered, didn't say anything, and got up to leave.
A few days later, Su Tiancheng took his own attitude. Paid a heavy price.
Words began to come out below, saying that the White Pole Army was preparing to attack the Liukou on a large scale, but the Jiangning Battalion still did not move, so the Jiangning Battalion, which was brave and good at fighting, was nothing more than that, I am afraid it was not as good as the White Pole Army.
Su Tiancheng, who heard this rumor, was greatly surprised, Qin Liangyu had been away from Chongqing for so long, where did such rumors come from, the chief military officer left Chongqing, could it be that he went back to deploy the attack on the rogue.
Su Tiancheng quickly thought that the prefect of Chongqing and Tongzhi were talking in a rambling manner when they came two days ago.
He immediately sent someone to invite the two of them over, this time, Su Tiancheng asked bluntly, last time, if there was anything to say, just say it, don't have any worries.
In his heart, Su Tiancheng hoped that it would not be the matter of the White Pole Army preparing to go out to exterminate the Liukou, that might be bad, and perhaps the White Pole Army would suffer a greater defeat.
The prefect wiped the sweat drops on his face and said the reason, and sure enough, it was General Qin Liangyu who made the decision to attack the Liukou on a large scale, speak with facts, and urge the Jiangning battalion to launch a full-scale attack.
The prefect also said that General Qin had left Chongqing, and entrusted them to tell Lord Su about it, and implored the Jiangning battalion to send troops as soon as possible.
Su Tiancheng's face was pale, and he couldn't wait to kill the prefect and Tongzhi.
The information he had just received was that the rogues suddenly moved again and began a large-scale assembly, as if they were making some moves, or they were preparing to leave Sichuan.
Su Tiancheng was puzzled, the Jiangning battalion was not prepared to attack, it had been in Chongqing, it was said that the Liukou did not need to panic, and he and Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others analyzed for a long time, but in the end they still did not understand, why did the Liukou leave Sichuan, it was impossible, Su Tiancheng wished that Li Zicheng would do this, as long as Li Zicheng left Sichuan and entered Henan or Shaanxi, the Jiangning battalion would definitely pursue it with all its might, and exterminate the Liukou in one go.
After the analysis of the three of them, they finally came to the conclusion that it was impossible for Liukou to leave Sichuan, and it may also be necessary for some kind of training.
After getting the news that the White Pole Army was preparing to attack, all this was very clear, and it turned out that the Liukou was preparing for the White Pole Army.
Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande, Sun Chuanting, Liu Tiehan, Qu Qingze and others came in a hurry.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong also came over.
Everyone found that Su Tiancheng's face was gloomy, as if he had encountered something very bad.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister wants to ask for guilt today."
"Master Su, why is this, I don't understand."
"The minister once sent Lord Qu to pay attention to General Qin's words and deeds, after General Qin left Chongqing, the minister did not continue to pay attention, but the minister did not expect that General Qin really made a major decision, and the minister knew that it was too late, and the minister was guilty."
"Master Su, what's going on?"
"General Qin misunderstood the meaning of the minister, thinking that the Jiangning battalion was unwilling to suppress the bandits, so he decided to lead the white pole army to launch an attack on the Liukou, and when he left, he informed the prefect of Chongqing Prefecture and Tongzhi and other officials of these ideas, which means that the fact of the victory of the white pole army proved that the minister's idea was wrong, and the Jiangning battalion must launch a full-scale attack, and implored the prefect and the governor to ask the Jiangning battalion to attack and exterminate the Liukou in front of the minister, perhaps because the minister's attitude was not good, and the prefect and the Tongzhi did not say these words when they came for the first time, The minister only learned the news today. ”
"So that's the case, I thought that it wasn't Lord Su's responsibility, General Qin was bent on exterminating the Liukou and ordered the White Pole Army to attack, which is also normal."
"The minister can conclude that the white pole army is facing great danger, the minister learned through intelligence that the rogue a few days ago, began a large-scale assembly, the minister was puzzled, I don't know what the rogue did to do such a move, many analysis, and did not come to a conclusion, now it seems that the rogue assembly, is facing the white pole army, the rogue has hundreds of thousands of people, the soldiers are strong and strong, the white pole army suffered defeat last year, the vitality was greatly damaged, and now there are only more than 20,000 people, more than 20,000 people, the attack has been prepared for the hundreds of thousands of rogues, what will be the end, I can't imagine it. ”
Zhu Cihong's face also changed.
"Master Su, then hurry up and send troops to support General Qin."
Su Tiancheng shook his head, his expression was very painful.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's too late, so much time has passed, General Qin has left Chongqing, it's been ten days, if the minister's expectation is good, the white pole army has already set off, and even began to fight with the Liukou, His Royal Highness the Prince knows that the Liukou sent spies to mingle among the homeless people, these days, through reconnaissance, the minister has captured several Liukou, through interrogation, they confessed, they are here to spy on the intelligence of the Jiangning camp, but the minister never thought that in addition to the intelligence of the Jiangning camp, the Liukou can also find out other intelligence, so it seems, Liukou has mastered, the White Pole Army is about to attack, and the Jiangning battalion is still in Chongqing, and there is no movement. ”
Everyone's faces changed, if more than 20,000 white-pole troops met with an accident, what would be the consequences, the arrogance of the rogue would be greatly increased, and the imperial army would suffer a major blow.
"Master Su, you always have to find a way, you can't watch General Qin meet with an accident."
"The minister convened everyone today to announce the decision, and the time is too late, so the minister will make his own decisions, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for permission."
"Although Master Su has arranged it, I will definitely support it."
Su Tiancheng glanced at everyone.
"Commander Hong, you personally led 20,000 troops from Zhongzhou into Kuizhou Mansion, intelligence shows that Liukou began to assemble in Kuizhou Prefecture Dazhou, Dongxiang and Xinning, if the forecast is good, the battlefield is likely to be here, the terrain around Dazhou is extremely complicated, I don't know when the White Pole Army led by General Lu Dao Qin set off, I hope they will delay some time on the road, the road is not easy to walk, but you have to overcome all difficulties, within five days, arrive at Dazhou, no matter what method you use, no matter how much sacrifice you pay, Be sure to rescue the White Pole Army and General Qin. ”
"Liu Tiehan, order the scout battalion, from now on, every moment to collect intelligence from the Dazhou area of Kuizhou Prefecture, can not be interrupted, the scout must find the location of the White Pole Army, if you can inform the White Pole Army of the danger, the Scout Battalion will make a great contribution."
"Lord Sun, during the period when Lord Hong left Chongqing, you are responsible for all the affairs of the Jiangning battalion, all the soldiers are ready, if the battle is fierce in front, they are ready to attack in an all-out manner at any time, in addition, order the soldiers who reconnoiter the displaced people, make an all-out attack, and capture all the identified rogues and spies, and not let any of them go."
"Father-in-law Qin, the matter is urgent, and the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is entrusted to his father-in-law, and the five hundred brocade guards and the soldiers of the pro-military battalion are all at the disposal of the father-in-law."
"Qu Qingze, step up the collection of intelligence, and at a critical moment, you can use extraordinary means." (To be continued......)
