Chapter 779 The battle is in full swing

Official residence one product - master of the three rings

Shen Mo expected it to be good, as the most scarce talent in the palace, Lu Lun was quickly reused by King Yu, and because of his loyal performance during Jiajing's serious illness, he won the trust of His Royal Highness King Yu. But in this way, there is no guarantee that he can take over Jinyiwei, because after all, his family's roots in Jinyiwei are too deep, and replacing his elder brother with his younger brother is just a change of soup and not medicine, even if the emperor feels that it doesn't matter, it is inevitable that the villain will chew the root of his tongue and it will be difficult to convince the public.

But it doesn't matter, there is a second trick for silence, to retreat as advance, at the beginning of King Yu's accession to the throne, Lu Gang, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the forbidden army, and the thirteen Taibao under his command, then wrote a letter to ask for transfer, and said very sincerely.

A group of spies begged for fame, which really made people laugh off their big teeth, but Emperor Longqing was very pleased. Although they all know that the new monarch will succeed to the throne, there will be a metabolism, and how many people may know the mandate of heaven and take the initiative to give up the throne? What moved the emperor even more was that they took the initiative to ask to go to the Nine Sides to spy on the military situation and serve for the expulsion of the shoe captives.

What kind of sentiment is it that is willing to give up the comfortable life in the capital and go to the bitter cold land of the frontier to serve the country? If the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty are like this, then what am I worried about as an emperor? Long Qing's heart completely softened, and he kept them a few times, and when he saw that they had made up his mind, he reluctantly agreed to their request. It is reasonable, the emperor can't treat them badly, but Longqing is so poor that he can't open the pot, he can't reward gold and silver, he can only use his power, and the official is different from the civil official, and the emperor can still have the final say. Therefore, Lu Gang and the others were all promoted to one level, and all the funds for engaging in military intelligence work were paid by Jinyiwei.

As for the importance of intelligence work, Emperor Longqing, who already had a certain understanding, could not let the structure of the Jinyi Guard in the capital be paralyzed at once, so he ordered the Thirteenth Emperor to keep two people, assist the successor commander, and assist the affairs of the Jinyi Guard.

As for the candidate for the commander, it can finally fall to Lu Lun's head, and there is still some element of luck, because the original emperor favored his own uncle, that is, the younger brother of Concubine Du Kang, Du Zhong, who has been regarded as an earl, but the old brother is really not a person who can do things, and he has done several errands one after another, and he has also caused internal resentment, which is really embarrassing. Longqing thought of Lu Lun at this time, and there are two wonderful points about using Lu Lun, first, it seems that the emperor can tolerate people, and he did not knock the important ministers of the first emperor into the dust: second, although the original big bosses are gone, but if they want to come to the small bosses and minions, they have to give the Lu family's children another face, and the dispatch is also effective.

Although the emperor's uncle is still the governor of Jinyiwei, the most important north and south town Fu Division has fallen into the hands of Lu Gang, avoiding a major purge, and I believe that as long as the turbulent period of succession to the throne has passed, the Lu family will be able to stabilize for a while. So Lu Lun's gratitude for silence can be understood.

And in order to make the contact between the two sides disappear from people's sight, Shen Mo cut off all other exchanges except for the regular transmission of secret letters, if it weren't for this incident, Lu Lun wouldn't have found a chance to thank him.

"In the future, this kind of thing will be done by the people below......" Shen Mo taught the second nephew: "You shouldn't run away yourself......"

"Uncle Shi rarely sent it once. ......" Lu Lun said with a smile.

Shen Mo smiled and asked, "Are people inside?" ”“

It's ......" Zhu Shisan nodded and said, "The brothers have surrounded Zhuangzi in a net today, and not a single bird can fly out. ”

"Hmm." Shen Mo nodded, and said, "You guys are guarding here, don't expose your ......," and said that he was about to ride his horse into the village.

"Uncle Shi, let's bring more people, if we fight later, we won't suffer." Lu Lun said with concern.

"Silly boy, you know how to fight and ......kill," Shen Mo laughed and said, "If he really wants to fight me, he won't hide here." After speaking, Hu Yong said: "Go and report it, and say that the old man ......is visiting."

Hu Yongce immediately stepped forward, passed through Zhuang Qianfu Road, arrived at the gate, and said loudly: "Hurry up and open the door, the old man is visiting ......" The sound was like a bell, breaking the silence of the night and causing a dog to bark in Zhuangzi.

After a while, someone said loudly: "It's late at night, it's inconvenient to open the door, guests come back at dawn......"

"Then knock the door open......" Shen Mo said lightly.

Immediately, several guards pulled off one of the tethered stakes in front of the village, shouted together, and rushed towards the door. At the moment when it was about to be hit, the door opened, and the people outside couldn't hold back and rushed in, and the people inside were also knocked into a solid one, and in a miserable scream, they fell to the ground regardless of each other.

Hu Yong led the rest of the guards and went in silently, and immediately a family member stopped him and said, "Who are you who dare to trespass on people's houses?" "I am the Shangshu of the Ming Rite Department, the deputy commander-in-chief of the defense of the capital, let your marquis come out to see me quickly......" Shen Mo said from the dantian.

"We don't have a ...... here," the family members showed their blades and put on the shelf: "Don't fight anymore, don't blame us for being polite......"

"Dare to hurt Qincha, there is no forgiveness for killing......" Hu Yong also pulled out his blade and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”

Those family members stared at each other for a while, and they really let out a sharp road and let them go straight in.

"My lord is really a god......" Hu Yong whispered a compliment while walking down the aisle: "I could have expected that they would not dare to do it......"

"What's more divine is still to come...... "Shen Mo looked around, he had already arrived at the main room of the inner house, and a housekeeper came out of nowhere and said: "My master has drunk, I'm afraid I will have to wake up tomorrow, and the adults are still ......" Before he finished speaking, he was carried aside by Hu Yong like a chicken.

Silently pushed open the door of the main room, and couldn't help frowning, it was so drunk. The lights inside are bright, and I saw a big man facing the sky on his back, snoring and sleeping, and he didn't cover the quilt on such a cold day, it seems that the people of the Hou Mansion of Dongning Mansion are not as good as the rules of ordinary rich families.

A smile hung on the corner of his silent mouth, and he ordered the left and right not to follow, and when he entered the house, he began to rummage around without saying hello. After looking for a long time, I didn't find where the talismans were, but I found a lot of **** atlases.

Shen Mo took one of the volumes in his hand, walked to the bed, flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "It turns out that Master Hou likes heavy .........."

"Cough cough cough ......", before the words fell, he caused the step to make him cough again and again, and almost sobered up. But in the end, he was very drunk, so he just turned over and continued to sleep.

Looking at the bed again, there was an extra thing half the size of a palm, what is it that is not a talisman? No wonder I couldn't find it, it turned out that he was crushed under him.

Afraid that there would be any more changes, Shen Mo hurriedly picked it up, copied it in his sleeve, clasped his fists and whispered, "Thank you." "Come back with a victory, or I'll be miserable........." The man turned his back to him and spoke like a mosquito. Many. It's ordinary, but it can't stand Lord Shen's first-class hearing.

Nodding solemnly, Shen Mo turned around and strode away.

At dawn, in the military tent in the Shenji camp.

After a night of intense discussions, the entire battle plan was finally finalized. Although the civil and military officers did not sleep all night, they were all in good spirits, and they were about to act separately when they waited for the commander to assign military orders.

Who knows, but there is no trace of Lord Shen, "Now everyone is dumbfounded, the coach is lost, how can you give an order?"

At this time, I saw Chen Lun standing behind the big case, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the commander has something important to go out of the city, and ordered me to temporarily take the position of the commander and assign military orders!" There must be no mistakes......"

Except for Li Chengliang, an outsider here, the rest used to listen to orders under Fulun, so Shen Mo handed over the power to him, of course, no one questioned it, so the generals roared up and took the order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the enemy is cunning and ferocious, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals, superb combat power, and superior to us in all aspects...... "Chen Lun said in a deep voice: "Now we are fighting more with less, and it is a field battle, which is extremely dangerous, you must strictly abide by the general's orders, if you are a little greedy for life and afraid of death, or slack and hesitate, it will definitely lead to the annihilation of the whole army, and when the time comes, even if I and the commander do not deal with you, the court will not spare your nine clans......"

The generals responded in horror, and they all said, they didn't dare.

"Always keep in mind the honor and disgrace of life and death." Zhen Lun didn't talk nonsense, so he began to order: "According to intelligence analysis, the Mongols are now bypassing Datong and coming to the northeast, and their target is most likely to be the right guard. Once the Wanquan Right Guard falls, I will regain the passage back to the grassland, and this southern invasion will be worry-free, and at that time, not only the Zhangjiakou area will be devastated, but the capital will also be under its direct threat. Now, we need a quick and powerful sortie to deter the shoe captives and make them dare not attack Wanquan......" After a pause, he looked at Ma Fang, who had just entered the city, and said: "General Ma, your deterrent power against the Mongols is incomparable, so you are the ...... the vanguard this time."

"Deling ......" Ma Fang said excitedly: "Guarantee to give him a head-on ......"

"Don't be happy too early," said ...... said: "It's not for you to fight with them, but to attract them firmly, and at the same time, General Yin and General Yin's cavalry will attack from the flank, and General Qi's Shenji battalion, as well as the rest of the troops, will set up an ambush here." As he spoke, the horsewhip pointed at a point on the map, except for the newly arrived Ma Fang, everyone knew that it was the Yanghe area near Datong. And this decisive battle location is also the focus of their dispute, many people advocate choosing between Zhangjiakou and the capital, because it is close to the capital, Qi Jiguang's Shenji Battalion can be put in place in just over a day and less than two days, and it is not easy to expose his whereabouts.

And once it is selected in the Yanghe area, which is 500 miles away from the capital, it will take at least five days for the Shenji Battalion to rush over. Not to mention whether the friendly army can win such a long time, but just such a long journey, will it be discovered by the Mongol rangers and even more unguardable traitors? If the car is known in advance, the whole plan will be completely ruined.

In the end, why do you want to seek the near and far, and the easy to seek the difficult, because Zhen Lun and Qi Jiguang dare not underestimate the IQ of Altan Khan. As the greatest hero of the steppe after the little prince, he has the cunning and suspiciousness of a wolf. If an ambush is set up in the Zhangjiakou area, I will definitely wonder if the Ming army is luring the enemy deep and trying to lure them into their pockets? Even if Ma Fang and they act alike, it is unlikely that they will follow.

So it was necessary to set up the ambush in the place where they had passed. Just walked by, knowing that there was no threat, he would be less cautious and put himself into the encirclement. And from the point of view of the intensity of reconnaissance, it is also the weakest behind the back, often as long as it is guaranteed that there is no trailing, and it will not release dozens or even hundreds of miles of reconnaissance horses like the front and the wings.

In the end, Qi Jiguang made a military order, promising to arrive in Yanghe within three days. Although everyone didn't believe that his troops could cover 500 miles in three days, the military order was guaranteed by their heads. Everyone knew that Qi Jiguang was stable, and they couldn't let Meng Lang joke with his life. Only then did it be unanimously agreed to set Yanghe as the decisive battle.

Seeing that it was Qi Jiguang who sang the leading role, Ma Fang pouted and said: "It turns out that we are just a disguise, so wouldn't it be enjoyable!" ”

As a soldier, there is nothing wrong with being competitive, as long as it is not too much.

"Haha, don't worry, old general." Zhen Lun smiled heartily: "Because according to reliable information, after all these years of rest, the Tuman, the tile spur, the east and the west, and the defeated generals of the two Ida subordinates, have all recovered. Although they are still subservient to Altan Khan in the center, the hatred of the three families has been going on for a long time, how can Altan rest assured of them? Therefore, although he personally commanded the army, he was violent, but in fact, he was very stubble, and he did not dare to lose too much of the army, so as not to make the two families bad again. He winked and said, "You know what I mean, right?" ”

"......" Ma Fang pondered for a moment and smiled: "I know, the more he is afraid of losses, the more we will fight to the death and drive them to Yanghe!" ”

"Yes!" Tan Lun smiled and said: "If you use a feint to lure the enemy, people may not dare to chase after you, but it is better to use the catch, and you can be more obedient." Ma Fang was satisfied.

"What's the problem?" His majestic gaze swept over the generals.

"No more!" The generals stood up and answered.

"Go ahead!" With a wave of his hand, the meeting was dismissed.

The armies were already in a state of combat readiness, so by daybreak, they were all ready, and as soon as the food and grass arrived, they could set off immediately. But they don't have much hope that they will be able to pull it out today. Because judging from past experience, it takes at least two days to prepare so many people to eat and chew, and then divide them into various units. So many people are ready to seize the time to get some sleep and recuperate their spirits.

But soon, almost at the same time, the various departments were ordered to start immediately!

The officers and men lined up on the school grounds, carrying all their weapons and equipment, and after listening to the last mobilization of their respective commanders, they were given the order to set off. The soldiers finally couldn't help but ask, "Where is the military rations?" You can't let us go to war hungry, can we? ”

"Hugh is noisy, just go to the door to get it." The officers spoke in unison.

When the officers and men arrived at the gate of the barracks, they saw the quartermaster handing out a kind of cloth belt like a donkey's intestines, which was heavy in his hands, and some of them were still hot.

They were told that there was enough food for five days, and that someone would teach you how to eat it when it was time to eat. But it is absolutely forbidden to eat secretly, because for for five days there will be no supplies, and if you finish eating, you will only go hungry.

Standing on top of the city, Shen Mo saw the soldiers carrying dry food bags on their backs, marching towards the distance in a mighty way, and couldn't help but sigh to the people around him: "50,000 intestine cloth bags filled with Jiguang can be prepared overnight, Brother Taiyue, it is really a god and a man!" ”

Standing beside him was Zhang Juzheng, who was raising military rations overnight, and he saw a pair of black circles under his eyes, and said with a hoarse smile: "There are one million residents in my capital, and there are only 50,000 intestine cloth bags, and each family has less than one." Saying Zhengse, he said: "I really see what the people want. As soon as I heard that it was for the children who made shoes, they all enthusiastically claimed it, and if you wanted eighty, I would ask for one hundred, lest I be left behind, and all of them were delivered on time. He was a little excited: "What's even more touching is that there is no guarantee of less payment, but most of them have paid a lot more." When they were counted, there were more than 8,600 more...... This time it's definitely enough. ”

"I really know Xiang Yu's feelings this time" Shen Mo was also moved: "If this battle is not good, I will not be able to see the father of the capital." ”

"Don't be stressed." Zhang Juzheng said softly: "Just fight how you want, the teacher has me, and I won't let you be hindered." ”

"Thank you!" Shen Mo patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "It's hard for you......" Zhang Juzheng is a person who is willing to take responsibility, not to mention anything else, just say that this time to mobilize the people of the whole city to prepare food for the army, that is a great injury to some people in the court, senseless self-esteem According to their theory, no matter how poor the treasury is, it can't be borrowed from the people, otherwise how can the face of the court exist?

So there must have been some guys who had enough to eat and had nothing to do, and there were some concerts to impeach Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng was really a little worried, and then returned to his original state: "Where is it, don't think so much, concentrate on fighting!" If you win the battle, hello and me, otherwise, let's go to prison together. ”

"Hmm." Shen Mo nodded heavily, "Clenched his fists and said, "Farewell!" ”

"Waiting for good news." Zhang Juzheng also hugged his fists.

"Good!" Silent responded simply, then flicked the scarlet cloak behind his back and strode down the tower.

At this time, Ma Fang's vanguard had already left the capital for forty miles.
