405, Flashing Beacon Fire and Xianghan (3)
(Asking for a monthly pass~ Could it be that Lao Lei wants to open a single chapter again?) Fang Kongzhi was calm on his face, but he was extremely uneasy in his heart.
He also wanted to give Gao Dazhu more troops, but the five thousand forwards sent were the most elite troops he could call at the moment. He is much more capable than Shi Kefa, and after taking office, he finally trained more than 20,000 passable soldiers and horses, so for more than a year, Zhang Xianzhong has not taken any advantage in his hands. But now in place of Premier Lu Xiangsheng's provincial military affairs is Xiong Wencan, this person is bent on advocating Zhao'an, bringing 3,000 Guang's eastern soldiers to the north, when Fang Kongzhi visited him, he "borrowed" 5,000 Huguang soldiers from Fang Kongzhi, and then asked Shi Kefa for Zuo Liangyu...... In short, the elite soldiers and strong generals have received their own hands. And in the command, he is also lackluster, Zhang Xianzhong in the first half of the year when the south of the Zhili, he just took office, listened to Zhang Guowei's plea and transferred 5,000 troops from Huguang to help defend Hui'zhou, to prevent thieves from crossing the river to the south of the Yangtze River, and when Zhang Xianzhong forced Yunyang Governor Chen Liangxun to be trapped in the city, Xiong Wencan sent 5,000 Huguang soldiers to support, and as a result, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and his own subordinates Guang's eastern soldiers and Zuo Liangyu even fought infighting.
Xiong Wencan wanted to rely on Zuo Liangyu, so he could only send back the Guang'dong soldiers, but he was worried that Zuo Liangyu would be proud of his soldiers, so he once again withdrew 5,000 soldiers from Fang Kongzhi. In Xiong Wencan's view, there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in the south, and Zhang Xianzhong must not cross the river, and Zhang Xianzhong has never taken such a risk before. Although Fang Kongzhi repeatedly argued, he was rejected by Xiong Wencan, and later even reprimanded him several times.
Under such circumstances, Fang Kongzhi could only hold on to the remaining 5,000 people, and at the same time hurriedly re-recruit the people from all over the country. This time the thieves crossed the river, he knew that he could not deploy defenses everywhere, so he could only think of a surprise attack after figuring out the place where the thieves crossed the river.
He was not absolutely sure whether he could win, thinking that Gao Qiqian, Shi Kefa and others had all received a piece of the pie from his son-in-law Sun Lin, but he was afraid that his old Taishan would not have enough manpower, so he not only did not transfer his people, but also gave him manpower, Fang Kongzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This son-in-law is really a frizzy surname, if he has half of the surname of Jimin, he can rest assured.
"Junmen, I don't know if Prime Minister Xiong can arrive in time, it stands to reason that he should follow the thief." A staff member behind him whispered, "Or defend the city?" ”
"Defend the city...... Premier Xiong is worried that there is no excuse. Another staff member shook his head: "He is bent on appeasing, but the military gate advocates suppressing and using it to suppress the main, the first few times he wrote to reprimand the military gate, if he defends himself without fighting, he must be involved in the imperial court." ”
"The thief is not Zheng Zhilong, Xiong Wencan caressed Zheng Zhilong, and then thought of using appeasement for any problem. If the thief is so easy to appease, will it be his turn? Another staff member said, and he was extremely polite to Xiong Wencan: "I don't know what Yang Bingbu means, he actually used such a character!" ”
Yang Sichang won Chongzhen's trust, and was directly promoted from Ding Wei to the secretary of the military department, hooked up with the palace internal supervisor, and learned that Chongzhen had a good impression of Xiong Wencan, so he rushed to recommend Xiong Wencan. Fang Kongzhi didn't know about this matter, but he estimated in his heart that Yang Sichang was also difficult to ride a tiger now. Xiong Wencan's strategy of appeasing is obviously different from Yang Sichang's strategy of suppressing thieves, but if Xiong Wencan is dismissed at this time, wouldn't it seem that he is unclear about his words?
"Hugh take care of those ...... Let's take the tall pillar, have Deputy Chief Yang and General Luo come back? ”
These two people refer to Yang Shien, the deputy chief soldier of Huguang, and Luo Anbang, the general of Jingmen, both of whom are brave fighters who were drawn from the generals by Fang Kongzhi.
"I haven't come back yet, can the military send someone to urge me again?"
"If you don't come back, it's useless to urge." Fang Kongzhi sighed slightly.
These two people were sent by him to recruit troops and horses, and in a hurry, I was afraid that they would not be able to catch up. Now, everything can only rely on the tall pillar, I hope he can lead 5,000 Huguang soldiers to block the footsteps of the thieves.
"Is it Hu Guangbing?"
Zhang Xianzhong pressed the hilt of his sword, his expression was extremely fierce, he stared at his subordinates and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"I'm not Xue Blind, so I can be sure, King, if I say something wrong, just come and cut off my head!"
The spy responded loudly, making Zhang Xianzhong sneer twice: "I heard that Huguang soldiers have been transferred scattered, how many are there this time?" ”
"I estimate five or six thousand."
"Hahahaha...... Five or six thousand people want to be my army of a million? ”
Zhang Xianzhong laughed twice, and then looked around: "Who wants to be my striker and break this officer and soldier?" ”
A young general beside him suddenly stepped forward: "Father, the child is willing to go!" ”
"The villain is willing to go!"
The people who were vying to go were Zhang Xianzhong's son Li Dingguo and his general Bai Wenxuan. After Sun Kewang's death, Zhang Xianzhong paid more attention to the cultivation of his own son and the young generals under his account, and Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Bai Wenxuan stood out. Zhang Xianzhong saw them fighting bravely, and his heart suddenly rejoiced: "Everyone in the world says that Yu Nanhai can train soldiers, and all the young tiger guards under his account are outstanding people, and my righteous son is not inferior to him!" ”
Hearing him mention Nanhai Boyu Guozhen, the left and right sides of the army were dumbfounded. Whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or other leaders, they are all used to being beaten by Yu Guozhen, and they don't know how many losses they have suffered in the hands of Yu Guozhen, so they pay attention to Yu Guozhen's news. They dared to commit Nanzhili again in the tenth year of Chongzhen, and a big reason was that they knew that Yu Guozhen had left Xiang'an and went to his fiefdom.
"Although Yu Nanhai is famous, but it is also because of people, in Nanzhili is relying on Shi Kefa, in Gyeonggi is through Liu Jingyao, although he has won many battles, but I expect that he is young, and he will be jealous of the members of the DPRK and China. Since ancient times, I have never heard of Qin Hui in the court and Yue Fei can make contributions to outsiders, the king can only rest assured, I am afraid that he will not give us a chance to take revenge. ”
When everyone was silent, one of them opened his mouth and said slowly, this person has a high crown of feather fans, a wide coat and a belt, and looks handsome, and he is by no means an ordinary person.
It was Xu Yixian, another military advisor who was relied on by Zhang Xianzhong as the mastermind.
Xu Junshi said this...... What does that mean? Someone asked.
"Yu Guozhen has too much credit, and he is the earl in white, so is there no one in the court who is jealous? Nowadays, the elders of the court and the scholars, all of them are the same party, no matter which side Yu Guozhen takes refuge, he will offend the other party, and if neither side takes refuge, he will offend everyone. He shrank in the South China Sea, like the Mu family as a turtle, the court can still tolerate him, if he makes meritorious contributions everywhere, won't it seem that the ministers of the court and the central government are incompetent, who can tolerate him? ”
His words brought everyone back to their senses, and Zhang Xianzhong snorted: "What Xu Junshi saw is really extraordinary, and besides, it is not Yu Guozhen that we are going to fight this time." Bai Wenxuan is older, and this time he will take Bai Wenxuan as the front...... In addition, you brothers don't have to hide and fold, break this army of officers and soldiers, we can enter the city, the city of Gong'an, the public is no better than other places, but there has never been a disaster, the wealth is no less than the south of the Yangtze River, the advanced one gets first, this is our old rule. ”
When he said this, someone suddenly got up and said, "Since this is the case, let's go back to Lao Luo!" ”
It was Cao Yingluo Rucai who spoke, he was dressed in brocade, his helmet was decorated with gold and silver, and he looked like a statue of a god in the temple. As soon as he said this, the rest of the chieftains also responded, and no one was willing to move forward, but suddenly everyone became enthusiastic.
Zhang Xianzhong sneered in his heart, Luo Rucai really loved money like life, and when he heard that the prince was rich and prosperous, he was in a hurry to rob.
"That being the case, Cao Ying, Ge Liyan, Lao Huihui, the three of you will invite first, and Wen Li will lead the troops to go with the three of you, what do you think?"
The refreshment of his promise made Luo Rucai feel that something was wrong, and he tilted his eyes to look at him: "Eight kings, what about yourself?" ”
"Didn't you also listen to what the scout said, General Xiong Wencan followed us, if you don't hurt him, he will chase after him." Zhang Xianzhong smiled cruelly: "My own royal highness...... Why don't you come to the palace? ”
After hearing this, Luo Rucai blinked and laughed dryly: "I, Cao Ying, never let my brother suffer, let's go and attack the fortifications!" ”
After they made up their minds, Luo Rucai personally led the army forward. In the entire thief army, Zhang Xianzhong is now the most powerful, among more than 300,000 people, he accounts for nearly one-third, there are 100,000 people, and Luo Rucai, Ge Li Yan and Lao Hui Hui are second in strength, Luo Rucai has more than 50,000 people, Ge Li Yan and Lao Hui Hui each have 40,000, and the rest of Zuojin Wang He Jin, Zheng Shi Wang Liu Xiyao, and Chaodi Wang Lin Yangsheng, etc., each have 20,000 or 30,000. Luo Ru only had 50,000 people, so naturally he didn't need to be the striker himself, so he sent a subordinate general first, and all the families were like this, with a total of 30,000 soldiers, and under the leadership of the scout, they went to the Huguang army.
Receiving the news that the rogues were coming to meet him, Gao Dazhu felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He commanded the big battles before, all by Yu Guozhen's side, but this time, he was alone. In terms of military training, because he had been following Yu Guozhen for a long time, the regulations for military training could be described as very familiar, but he had no experience in actually commanding in battle.
"Brother Dazhu, are you worried?"
Although he tried his best to hide his worries, he never thought that he would still be seen, Ji Yan came up and asked with a smile.
Since Yu Guozhen sent a staff group to the Denglai army, it was impossible not to send a staff group to the Huguang army. However, this staff group appeared as a member of Fang Kongzhi's family, and Fang Kongzhi didn't know what his purpose was, he really regarded these fifty people as his own family members and did not send them to various armies.
Therefore, when the tall pillar came out, he was followed by half of the fifty men.
The leader is Ji Yan, the original teenager, in just three years has grown into a young man, eighteen-year-old Ji Yan, inherited his father Ji Xun's blacksmith body, tiger back and bear waist, tall, second only to Qi Niu, and the same as the tall pillar.
"I'm worried about nothing more than you!"
"Don't worry, I'm not Huo Yan...... But Brother Dazhu, how are you going to fight the enemy in this battle? ”
Gao Dazhu pondered for a while, although his spiritual transformation was weaker, but it was only a quick wit, not a slow strategy. After a long while, he said: "The Liukou divided his troops to meet me, and he must have sent scouts to inquire about the news of our army, and he learned that our army was small, but only 5,000, so he dared to come to meet me, which is the case...... I might as well use the strategy of arrogance. ”
"The enemy's strategy?" Ji Yan originally had other plans in his heart, but when he heard Gao Dazhu say this, it was not easy to tell his plan, he pondered for a while, and then asked again: "How to be proud of the enemy?" ”
