Chapter Seventy-Three: The Presence of Soldiers 2
Reinforcements from the Ming army are coming, and it is Pang Yue who is leading the troops. The news of the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Liu Wuyuan, Hu Yousheng and others, who were already preparing to wait for the Qing court's reward.
The notoriety of Huguang Town, even Dolgon, who was far away in Beijing, had heard of it, not to mention the people who had fought face to face with them.
Not only Liu Wuyuan and Hu Yousheng, but also officials and soldiers at all levels were also flustered for no reason. Think about how Shang Kexi and Shen Zhixiang died? There is no one in Ji'an City who thinks that they can be more powerful than these two brothers.
As soon as the military meeting was convened, the atmosphere of panic filled the entire hall.
Looking at his subordinates who were panicked and talking, Liu Wuyuan suddenly had an illusion that he had returned to Liaodong twenty years ago. At that time, he was still paid in the Ming army in Liaodong, and every time he heard that the Jin soldiers were coming, the atmosphere around him was almost like this. Although it has been 20 years, it is so similar.
But the enemy is coming, and no matter how panicked you are, you have to think of a way to deal with it.
"My lord, why don't you discuss with Lord Tan Tai, let our army go north to join forces with the Manchurian soldiers, take Nanchang and then deal with Pang Madman?" The next general hesitated to suggest. That's a beautiful thing to say, but it's just abandoning the city and running away.
"Shut up!" Liu Wuyuan scolded loudly. Although he was a little flustered, his brain was not broken.
In the current situation, the remnants of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren will be surrounded by the main force of the Qing army in the south in Nanchang, and Liu Wuyuan and Hu Yousheng will garrison Ji'an, and they are also about to face reinforcements from the Ming army coming from the north.
How the situation will develop next, the battle situation in Nanchang and Ji'an can be said to be very important. If Nanchang breaks first, Tan Tai and He Luo will wave their troops south to join the Qing army in Ji'an, and the Qing army will seize the opportunity. If Ji'an breaks first, and Pang Yue leads the army north to Nanchang and Jin Shenghuan should join forces outside, then the Ming army will seize the opportunity.
Tan Tai will not be ignorant of this truth. Give up Ji'an in front of him? What's the difference between that and looking for death?
"If you dare to mention giving up Ji'an again, shake the heart of our army, I don't need Lord Tan Tai, I will behead your sacrifice flag first!" Liu Wuyuan shouted loudly, completely stopping the escape wind.
"Lord Liu, that's not as good as ...... Why don't you ask Lord Tan Tai to quickly send Manchurian troops to assist in defending the city? Hu Yousheng's voice trembled a little, his distorted and ugly face was full of panic, and he didn't look like a hellish ghost anymore, but like a living ghost.
It is not for nothing that he behaves like this. It was none other than Pang Yue who made him look like he is now. He had already lost one eye, and he didn't want to lose another. Perhaps, losing another eye is not the most terrible, but losing your life is the most terrible.
"The two thieves of Jin and Wang are very stubborn, Nanchang has not been able to attack for a long time, and Lord Tan Tai may not be able to draw extra troops to help defend Ji'an." Liu Wuyuan frowned and groaned for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "The only way to do this is to stick to Ji'an and wait for Lord Tan Tai to lead the army south after conquering Nanchang." This official also advises all of you present that if you want to survive, you can only rely on ourselves! ”
After overcoming public opinion and determining the policy of sticking to Ji'an, Liu Wuyuan began to deploy various matters to defend the city.
With months of experience in successfully holding on, it was a familiar deployment at this time.
It's just that his opponents were Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren before, but this time it was Pang Yue.
The outcome is unknown.
…………
The news of the upcoming arrival of Huguang Town has made a storm in Ji'an City.
In Ganzhou, Hao Yongzhong, who was the chief soldier of the Ming army in Ganzhou, was also flustered. It's just that what he is panicking about is not losing his head, but worrying about whether his power and status will be affected.
Since taking over Pang Yue as the commander-in-chief of Ganzhou, Hao Yongzhong has also followed the same example and followed a set of development strategies set by Pang Yue. In the past two years, he has cultivated and trained troops and recruited talents, but he has also developed well, and he has become the hegemon of southern Gansu. The growth of strength also made Hao Yongzhong vaguely regard himself as a prince in his heart, and regarded Ganzhou as his own territory, which was not allowed to be touched by outsiders.
The war in Nanchang, he is naturally clear, and he has also received many distress letters from Jin Shenghuan. But he either didn't even bother to reply, and even if he replied, he would shirk in every possible way, or he would not send troops. I did this not for anything else, but because I was worried that my strength would be damaged because of this.
But now, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict, and Huguang Town is about to come, so it is impossible for him to fool around like Jin Shenghuan before. Emperor Longwu made it clear in the edict that he had given Pang Yue the sword of Shangfang and asked him to obey Pang Yue's moderation. Even if he wasn't afraid of Shang Fang's sword, he couldn't help but take the tens of thousands of troops in Huguang Town in his eyes.
What to do? If troops are dispatched, their strength will be damaged, and the grand cause of "building high walls and accumulating grain" in order to rise to the future may also be affected. What's even more terrifying is that maybe it will lure wolves into the house, and even lose the territory. If he doesn't send troops, he knows how powerful Pang Yue is.
I couldn't figure it out, so I had to summon my staff to discuss it together.
Now, Hao Yongzhong, who is bent on achieving great things, has also deliberately imitated the style of raising scholars in ancient times, and many literati and strategists have been raised in the house. Among them, Hao Yongzhong's most trusted is a Zhejiang man named Chen Gongming, and he was the one who was invited to discuss with him this time.
Like the legendary ancient strategists, Chen Gongming has a long beard and flutters, looking like a fairy, but he always speaks and does things directly, and never drags mud and water.
"If you are not mistaken, what the lord is worried about is the arrival of the Marquis of Dingwu, right?" As soon as he entered the door, before Hao Yongzhong could speak, Chen Gongming had already spoken first.
The title of "lord" was also called by Hao Yongzhong implying that his staff were calling it in private, of course, only in private.
"How does the gentleman know?" Hao Yongzhong was a little surprised, and as soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly changed the words in the play: "In this way, why did Mr. Ze teach me?"
"Does the lord think that he can keep the army of the Marquis of Dingwu far out of Ganzhou by himself?" Chen Gongming held a whisk in his left hand and stroked his long beard in his right hand, and asked.
Hao Yongzhong was dumbfounded. He heard that Zhang Xianbi of Nan'an had also closed the city gate in an attempt to avoid Pang Yue, but the result was that Pang Yue only waited for a few hours before entering the city without blood. Although this Ganzhou is better than Nan'an in terms of topography, Pang Yue has also operated here for a long time, and his connections and foundation are not shallower than him. If Pang Yue wants to enter the city, I am afraid it will not be more difficult than entering Nan'an.
Seeing that Hao Yongzhong was silent, Chen Gongming asked again: "Then why does the lord think, why did Zhang Xianbi of Nan'an later agree to go on the expedition with the Marquis of Dingwu?"
Hao Yongzhong also felt strange about this, with Zhang Xianbi's oily temperament, why was he so obedient this time? After thinking for a while, he said tentatively: "Could it be that it is forced by the military might of Dingwu Hou?"
Seeing that Hao Yongzhong still didn't open his mind, Chen Gongming shook his head with hatred, stomped his feet and said, "How confused the lord is!" If it was just coercion, how could Zhang Xianbi be willing! If he was not willing, how could the Marquis of Dingwu rest assured that he would take him on the expedition with him? In addition to coercion, there will be temptation! If the lord doesn't react, I'm afraid that his power will not be limited to Nan'an! ”
Hao Yongzhong woke up like a dream, and couldn't help but scold: "Zhang Xianbi, this guy! Lao Tzu almost let him take the lead! What should I do now, sir? Sending troops? Sending troops ......"
At the thought of sending troops, Hao Yongzhong hesitated again, he was still worried about what he was worried about before.
Chen Gongming seemed to know what Hao Yongzhong was worried about, and said with a smile: "The lord's worries, I also know." Come here today, and you have a plan to offer! ”
After saying that, he sat down and said something like that.
After listening to this, Hao Yongzhong laughed with satisfaction: "Hahaha, sir's method is really fucking ......."
Halfway through the foul words, he quickly changed the words again: "Oh, Mr. is to me, just like the ovary is to Henkel, and Berwyn is to Taizu!" (To be continued.) )
