Chapter 16 The Game
After Yan Yingyuan and Zhou Shang sat down and distributed their respective "armies", the "battle" began,,,,
In the end, the result was as expected by Chongzhen, Yan Yingyuan won, and although Zhou Shang was defeated, it also made Yan Yingyuan lose a lot.
"Well, it's intense." Chongzhen nodded and said.
"Although Liheng is victorious, it can be regarded as a miserable victory, both of them are talents that can be created!" Cao Wenzhao, who had been silent for a long time, said.
"That's right, both of them are pillars." Chongzhen said with a smile, Yan Yingyuan and Zhou Shang both behaved very well, which made him very satisfied.
"Your Majesty has praised it!" The two said modestly.
"Then, in the end, it's up to you to make two moves with Liheng!" Chongzhen said to the last little flag, "I don't know what your name is?" ”
"Your Majesty, the humble surname Cao is changed to Jiao, and I am willing to deduce for Your Majesty!" The little flag replied, looking eager to try.
"What? What do you say your name is? Chongzhen asked in disbelief.
"Humble Cao Jiao." Regarding Chongzhen's strange reaction, Cao Bianjiao felt a little strange.
Cao ...... Change? Chongzhen couldn't believe it. Oh my God, this is also a fierce general, and he is also Cao Wenzhao's nephew.
Cao Bianjiao followed Cao Wenzhao to serve in the army when he was a teenager. Historically, he repeatedly suppressed peasant uprisings and was highly regarded by the imperial court. He was successively appointed as Jinan, a staff general, a deputy chief soldier, a governor of the capital, a governor of the left capital, and a chief military officer. Together with Cao Wenzhao, he is known as General Cao. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, there was a peasant uprising in the Huguang area, and Cao Bianjiao went south to Huguang to suppress it. Since then, the Datong area has been plagued by famine for many years, and there have been continuous uprisings, and he was ordered to aid Datong in the north. In the second year, Cao Wenzhao sent troops to Shaanxi to suppress the peasant uprising led by Li Zicheng.
After Cao Wenzhao's death, Cao Bianjiao became the governor of the First Army, and was recommended by Hong Chengchou as the deputy commander-in-chief. After that, he followed Hong Chengchou to suppress peasant uprisings many times. First, because of his meritorious service in suppressing Gao Yingxiang, he was promoted to the governor's servant and the chief military officer of Lintao. Later, in the suppression of Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army, Cao Bianjiao fought thousands of miles. "Those who do not disarm for twenty-seven days and nights", defeated Li Zicheng's rebel army at Tongguan, and was promoted to the governor of Zuodu. In order to strengthen Beijing's defense, Cao Bianjiao accompanied Hong Chengchou into Beijing. After that, he stayed in Tunzunhua and was used as the chief military officer of the ASEAN Association.
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Jianyu invaded on a large scale, and the situation on the northeast border became increasingly serious. In May, Jinzhou was in an emergency. Cao Bianjiao followed the governor Hong Chengchou out of the pass, stationed in Ningyuan, and fought with Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of Shanhai, the general soldier of Shanhai, Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, and Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, and others, and won many victories.
Later, Jianguo sneak attack on the Ming army's grain storage place in Bijia Mountain, the Ming army lost all its baggage, in the battle with Jianlu, even suffered defeat, and the grain road was cut off at that time, Datong general soldier Wang Pu first fled at night, and then, Shanhai General Soldier Ma Ke, Ningyuan General Soldier Wu Sangui, Shanxi General Soldier Li Fuming also fled one after another. So far, from the south coast of Xingshan to the east of Tashan, they were all controlled by Jianyu, and the Ming army "drowned in the sea and died countless times". In the chaos, only the soldiers of Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen held on, and galloped to Songshan and joined Hong Chengchou to hold on. But not long after, Jinzhou was besieged, Songshan was also besieged, and aid was cut off. By September, Hong Chengchou, Cao Bianjiao and others dispatched all the soldiers and horses in the city, and broke through many times, but failed. After holding out for half a year, due to the rebellion of the deputy general Xia Chengde, Songshan was conquered.
In the face of the temptation of Jianjiao, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, and more than 100 people below the generals all held their temper and died heroically.
And now, Cao Bianjiao has joined the new army, and Chongzhen will naturally reuse this talent.
Cao Wenzhao, who is Cao Bianjiao's uncle, also felt strange when he saw Chongzhen's surprised expression.
Chongzhen didn't notice the expressions of the others, but continued: "You are Cao Zongbing's nephew?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Bianjiao is indeed the nephew of the last general!" But it was Cao Wenzhao who replied first, "Chang Jiao has followed the last general in and out of the barracks since he was a child, and before the new army recruited, Chang Jiao joined the new army. ”
"Haha, good, great!" Chongzhen laughed and said, then found that he had lost his temper, and showed embarrassment, and said, "Cough! is worthy of being the son and nephew of Cao Zongbing, he has such ambitions at a young age, not bad!"
First, Chongzhen laughed loudly and startled everyone, and then, Cao Bianjiao and the others were a little embarrassed when they heard the emperor praise themselves, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for complimenting!"
Cao Wenzhao was also startled by Chongzhen's sudden laughter, and felt a little relieved after hearing Chongzhen praise Cao for changing Jiao. Cao Wenzhao usually cherishes Cao Bianjiao's nephew the most, and he treats it as if he were his own.
"Then please deduce it!" Chongzhen said a little impatiently, he really wanted to see what kind of spectacular scene it would be for Cao Bianjiao and Yan Yingyuan to learn from each other.
"Obey!" The two of them clasped their fists.
First, Cao Bianjiao attacked in two ways, all the way to feint and one to attack. Yan Yingyuan ignored Cao Bianjiao's feint attack, but used the main force to "attack" Cao Bianjiao's main road "army".
Cao Bianjiao also dealt with it calmly and retreated to the city, and the two sides were evenly matched. At this moment, seeing that Cao Bianjiao's base camp was about to be uprooted by Yan Yingyuan, the troops that Cao Bianjiao had originally feinted to attack appeared in Yan Yingyuan's base camp and surrounded him. In the end, the two sides were tied.
"Papapa" Chongzhen and others clapped their hands, and the game between the two sides made everyone addicted.
Chongzhen sighed secretly: It is worthy of being a famous general and a famous minister, they are all so good!
"It's a wonderful game for you. Yan Yingyuan, Cao Bianjiao, Zhou Shang, and Zheng Dahu listened to the order, "Chongzhen returned to his chair and faced everyone.
"Humble duty!" The four of them knelt on one knee with their fists clasped together and said in unison.
"Your performance is good, I specially appointed the four of you as a thousand households, I hope you will perform well and serve the country!"
When the four of them heard this, they were immediately promoted several levels, and they were suddenly overjoyed, and said: "Thank you Your Majesty Longen, you will do your best to be loyal to the country!" ”
After that, Chongzhen motioned for them to get up, and then said to Cao Wenzhao: "Cao Aiqing, I hope you will train the new army well, so that you can counterattack Jianyu and recover Liaodong in the future!" ”
"The last general will obey his fate and live up to his holy hope!" Cao Wenzhao responded.
After that, Chongzhen looked at the northeast direction, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: Huang Taiji, you will be the first stepping stone for my Ming Empire to kill the world, rejoice!
