Chapter 47: Crying on Who's Island Forty-Seven
In the winter of the first year of Changqing, 30,000 Wei Bo soldiers entered the Nangong in a mighty manner. A few years ago, it was here that Tian Hongzheng annihilated 2,000 enemies, thus forming a deep enmity with Chengde, a deep enmity that could not be dissolved. Now, following in his father's footsteps, Tian Bu has also come here. So, here, what will happen to Tian Bu?
In the winter of that year, the weather was particularly cold, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow drifted cold. When the weather is cold, people are also cold, and people's hearts are even colder!
Before the expedition, in order to let Wei Bo's 30,000 uncles go on the road willingly, Tian Bu made a bloody investment. All of the Tian family's properties in Weibo were packaged and processed by Tian Bu in exchange for more than 100,000 yuan, and Tian Bu did not blink, and all of them were rewarded to his subordinates. Also, even the salary, the monthly salary, the field cloth, not a single child, all handed over to those greedy subordinates.
Tian Bu has poured everything he has. However, his subordinates were not satisfied, not at all. Because, this amount of money, so many people average, what they actually get in their hands is really not much, not much at all. However, for the sake of that benevolent old handsome, for Li Yu's impassioned speech, and for Tian Bu's filial piety, we don't have to worry too much, then, let's go.
In this way, the 30,000 army set out on the journey unwillingly and reluctantly.
In such a state, the combat effectiveness can be imagined. However, you think too much, because, the battle, did not work.
As I said, it was very cold that winter. The north wind blows, the snowflakes drift, and the year has not come. What came was resentment, growing resentment: trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, braving the wind and snow all the way, just to fight an unprofitable war! Is it worth it? Worth! This is the voice of 30,000 Wei Bo soldiers. However, fortunately, Tian Bu's prestige is still there, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous. If you have grievances, you have to hold back, or, find a few like-minded partners, have a small meeting in private, and have a good time.
Don't panic, trouble, it's just getting started.
With Wei Bo, there were also a few other groups of people. They are not Tian Bu, and they have no enmity with Chengde. So, they don't panic, they don't panic at all, they just follow from afar. Tian Bu won, and they can get a piece of the pie. Chengde won, and they have nothing to lose. In short, Tian Bu is here to play with his life! They're here to see the excitement.
As a result, Tian Bu became a lone army, a lone army deep behind enemy lines.
It's just a lone army, the key is a lack of military supplies. According to the usual practice, the Jiedu envoys went on expeditions, and military supplies were always supplied by Chang'an. However, that winter, the snow kept falling, and it kept falling. Although Rui needs a mega year, the harvest of the coming year really does not help Wei Bo's current situation. Because the weather was bad, the roads were muddy, and the military quartermasters, it was difficult to get to the front on time. Even with great effort, some were barely brought in, but they were swept away by the army that was left behind. Wei Bo, the lone Wei Bo, couldn't even get a grain of rice or a single grass.
Man, there is no food to eat; Horses, there is no forage to feed. How can this battle be fought? In desperation, Tian Bu had no choice but to order the temporary secondment of Wei Bo's military quartermasters. Unexpectedly, this forced and helpless order was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
General Wei Bo was furious, and he was furious. They ran to the big tent of the Chinese army with great momentum, and asked their commander with confidence: We, working hard for Chang'an, forget it if it is unprofitable! Why should we pay out of our own pockets?
I see! It turns out that avenging their benevolent old handsome is Chang'an's business, and it has nothing to do with them!
Troubles, one after another, the grain and grass did not arrive, but another thing arrived, one after another, such things are the holy decree.
The holy decree, the holy decree from Chang'an, came and went one after another, like a butterfly. The content, but surprisingly consistent, that is, urging, urging them to fight as soon as possible and triumph as soon as possible. Because, Chang'an's treasury is already empty. Chang'an, which does not have enough financial resources, to support a protracted war. Therefore, the emperor and the ministers of Chang'an hope that this damned war will end as soon as possible. Then, each of them went back to his own house and looked for his own mother.
In the ice and snow, the complaining Wei Bo soldiers heard the holy decree from Chang'an, and the holy decree without sympathy completely broke out. In the end, the holy decree from Chang'an triggered an eighteen-magnitude earthquake, and the heart of Wei Bo was cold, completely cold, colder than daylily! In order to gather people's hearts, all the efforts made by Tian Bu have become a bowl of soup and a bowl of soup in a blink of an eye.
In the face of the raging subordinates, Tian Bu was also helpless. Helplessly, he looked at a person for help. Once, this man was his confidant; Today, this man is his vanguard, holding most of Weibo's elite vanguard. However, this person, who was regarded as a confidant by Tian Bu, had an indifferent face and did not respond in the slightest. It's as if everything in front of him has nothing to do with him.
At this critical time, the person who refuses to come forward is called Shi Xiancheng.
Shi Xiancheng was a Xi person, and later became the godson of a family surnamed Shi, so he was surnamed Shi.
In Hebei, it seems to be fashionable to adopt a godson. Although, it can't be said that every family has a godson, it can be not much different. However, since he is a godson, he is naturally inferior to other people's own sons. Therefore, if you want to get the favor of your godfather, you can only work hard as a godson. In Hebei, in Huhua, one of the most common jobs is to fight and rob. Therefore, in general, the godson is very capable of fighting. For example, the aforementioned Zhang Xiaozhong; For example, Shi Xiancheng just mentioned.
Shi Xiancheng's godfather is probably not a bull and cannot provide a bright future for his sons. If you can't have your own son, let alone your godson. So, although, Shi Xiancheng is very capable of fighting; However, he still needs a backer, a backer who appreciates him. Shi Xiancheng was very lucky, because, in the end, he met his own Bole, this person is Tian Bu. In the Battle of Ziqing, it was precisely because of Tian Bu's strong recommendation that Shi Xiancheng obtained an important official position, a vanguard soldier and horse envoy. And, taking this opportunity, Shi Xiancheng became famous. It is precisely because of this origin that Tian Bu regards him as his confidant. The battle of revenge, Tian Bu, did not hesitate to hand over the vanguard seal to Shi Xiancheng. From then on, the elite of the three armies will be in their hands!
