Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Whole Army Goes to the Side
Shen Yourong hurried to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with Ziren and others. Although the Governor has in fact become a local-level administrative body, it is still the "outer" of the Imperial Historians of the Inspectorate in terms www.biquge.info of establishment. Gu Yangqian was the governor of Liaodong as the right deputy capital imperial history, and his office was located in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Shen Wansan and Ziren had low official positions, and they were not allowed to enter and leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After arriving at the destination, he stayed outside the door and waited, and Shen Yourong and Yang Shaoxun went to ask for battle.
Ziren was bored at the door, and took the opportunity to chat with Shen Wansan: "Brother Shen, looking at the way our Lord Shen and Lord Yang are in their chests, this victory is not small. Brother Shen has been following adults for many years, I don't know what he thinks about this? ”
Shen Wansan waited and was fine, so he talked to Ziren: "Brother Ziren, don't look at the two adults who are full of confidence. But it seems to me that this battle is quite hard, it is a tough battle. The barbarian tribe has always been not weak in combat, and now it has Duoyan Sanwei outside the eastern border of Liaodong as a guide, and it will take several twists and turns to force it back. ”
In fact, Ziren had long thought that this battle should not be taken lightly, but he didn't know what Shen Wansan thought about it for a while, so he made a tentative speech. After all, the cavalry team that had just joined was led by Shen Wansan. If Shangguan underestimates the enemy, there may be many accidents on this battlefield. Fortunately, this person has followed Shen Yourong for many years, and he has already seen his situation at this time after a long time on the battlefield. Only then did he put his mind at ease and continued: "Since ancient times, there have been no weak soldiers under strong generals, and Brother Shen is worthy of being Shen Yourong's henchman, what he said is indeed reasonable. At the beginning of the next year, I was not familiar with the geography. Brother Shen has lived in Liaodong for a long time and can fight habitually, so I don't know if he can see the direction of the enemy's attack. Which route will the adults choose to enter the army on this expedition? ”
Being touted by Ziren, Shen Wansan was very proud in his heart, and he didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Now that the Mongolian cavalry is stationed in the upper reaches of the Daling River, it seems that they should be attacking Yizhou. My lord should rush to Quang Ninh to garrison first, and then wait for the opportunity to move, and there are two routes to choose from.
One is to take the post station in Liaodong, pass through Anshan Station - Niuzhuang Station - Shaling Station - Gaoping Station - Panshan Station, and then arrive at Guangning City. The advantage of this road is that it is all in the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the road is flat, so you don't have to worry about the enemy attacking. The disadvantage is that it needs to bypass the Liaohe Loop, which is a long distance of nearly 300 miles. The firearms camp has a lot of baggage, and it takes at least five or six days to travel.
The second is to go out from Changding Fort, take the Liaohe Loop, and then enter the border from Zhenyuan Fort and go directly to Guangning. The advantage is that the distance is shortened, about 200 miles. The disadvantage is that the Liaohe Loop is now controlled by Duoyan Sanwei and is vulnerable to enemy attacks. Moreover, now that Liaodong is icy and snowy, there are many inconveniences for marching and supplying in the vast grassland. It is estimated that adults will choose to take the road of Liaodong Post Station in order to be thorough. ”
Before Shen Wansan's words fell, Shen Yourong and Yang Shaoxun walked out of the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, seeing that the faces of the two were quite ugly, Shen Wansan hurriedly stepped forward to inquire when he saw this.
After some conversation, it was learned that the Mongol cavalry had entered through the area of Daseungbao and was now plundering around the area of Uiju. Meng Nu committed crimes every year, and Lin Chengliang had long been accustomed to this and was reluctant to fight, but he strictly ordered his two deputy commanders, Li Pinghu and Qin Deyi, to guard the important place. Prepare to wait for the enemy to retreat, and then follow the enemy to attack the old and weak soldiers, or take advantage of the situation to destroy the scattered enemy, and trap those who have taken refuge in the fortress as a merit.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Gu Yangqian urgently ordered Shen and Yang to lead the pacesetter battalion and firearms battalion as the vanguard to immediately send reinforcements. In order to seize the time, the military situation was urgent, and the two were ordered to march along the route of the Liaohetao. He commanded the general Li Ning, the deputy general Zu Chengxun, Sun Shoulian, and the soldier Yang Hao then set off and rushed to reinforcements at the post station in Liaodong. Liaoyang City was left to Liaodong to be guarded by Hao Jie. Shen and Yang knew that the route of the Liaohetao was dangerous, so they were worried.
Seeing this, Ziren suddenly had a plan, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the military order is like a mountain, and now it seems that we must go to this Liaohe Loop." Although this road is dangerous, I know a person below. Although this person has a low official position, he has been outside the border all the year round to investigate the enemy's situation in Liaodong. With their help, this battle will not be difficult. ”
Shen Yourong saw that Ziren seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, thought for a while and said, "Ziren'er, what you are talking about is Li Dequan, an old boy. This person has been in Liaodong for many years, but he has a lot of real skills. However, this person has made many military exploits, but he has not been promoted, and his temper is very strange, how can you please move him. After speaking, he looked at Ziren with Yang Shaoxun.
Seeing that Shen Yourong understood his intentions, Ziren hurriedly replied: "The villain has a relationship with Li Dequan, and he knows a little about this person. It is precisely because he has not been promoted that he must be sincere and will not be afraid of the enemy like the generals of the Li family. And back then, he and Li Ping Hutong were born as sentinels, but now there is a huge difference between the two in low positions, and they must be unconvinced. Now the Yizhou invaded by the Monnu is guarded by Li Pinghu. We can use the excuse that Li Pinghu does not dare to face the battle and needs to send troops to rescue, so as to provoke him to fight. This time to send troops, one can make meritorious service, and the other can take this opportunity to thin Li Pinghu's face, and Li Dequan will definitely not refuse. ”
After listening to Ziren's words, Shen Yourong and Yang Shaoxun felt that this plan was feasible. immediately ordered Shen Wansan to set up the banquet, and at the same time asked Ziren to invite Li Dequan. Li Dequan saw that Ziren was invited, and he did not shirk and went happily. Before the banquet, everyone inevitably praised him, and at the same time belittled Li Pinghu. Coaxed Li Dequan quite happily, and when the time was ripe, Ziren came forward to invite him to fight together.
As Ziren expected, Li Dequan saw that he had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and could regain face in front of Li Pinghu, so he agreed. However, after the request to go out of the border, the route of the march and the affairs of the whole country must be subject to its arrangement. Everyone was not familiar with the border, but when they saw that they were willing to help, they immediately agreed. After that, everyone returned to the barracks, packed their bags and prepared for the battle.
Three days later, the Liao River caught a certain Taining Mongol tribe. The old patriarch Bahar got up early in the morning to take care of the livestock. His tribe has less than 100 people, and there are not many livestock. A snowstorm a year ago lost more than half of the tribe's large and small livestock. As a last resort, the two sons took the prime of life in the tribe and went out with the army to plunder the Ming people, and now the tribe is left with old and weak women and children, so they have to go to the livestock shed to inspect in person.
Bahar was busy as he watched the thinning livestock, and his heart was very anxious. I can only hope that I will lead the warriors of the clan with my son to plunder a little more livestock and grain, otherwise I am afraid that I will not survive the beginning of spring this year. The second son is not young, and I hope that this time I can grab a Ming woman back, so as to add a few more Dingkou to the tribe.
After adding fodder to the animals, they are about to go back to the tent to take care of their little grandson. When he turned around, he noticed that there were many black dots in the sky flying towards him. When he was young, Bahar was also a well-known warrior in the Taining Tribe, and although he was old, with his years of experience in warfare, he recognized it as the enemy's arrow at a glance. Hurriedly shouted loudly for the people to get up and fight, but as soon as the words fell, a sharp arrow pierced the throat.
