Chapter 267: Heaven Grants Don't Take It
Although the sky was bright, it was still the same gloomy, and there were even some snowflakes falling from the sky, which were getting bigger and bigger. Wang Dou smiled and said, "It's out of the way."
He patted Zhong Xiancai's shoulder: "Xiancai, in the cold weather, you should also pay attention to keeping warm." ”
He looked at the camp: "It's time to beg for breakfast." You go and inform a few of your subordinates to come to my tent together
Zhong Xiancai shrank his body, answered in a low voice, and hurried away.
The senior officers who gathered in Wang Dou's tent again changed a few fresh faces. Han Zhong died in battle, and Zhong Xiancai ascended to the throne. His promotion and Yang Tong's death in battle, and the second department vacated two commanders, who were held by Shen Shiqi and Yin Yijin respectively.
Yin Yijin used to be the officer of Yang Tong's general Ran A team, and concurrently served as the chief deputy, and he was also a veteran of a hundred battles. Yang Tong died in battle, he took the position, and the seat vacated by him was taken over by his deputy team.
Fortunately, Wen Fangliang, the general manager of the C department, and his subordinate Sun Sanjie and other three generals are all there, so that Wang Dou will not be too sad. However, Wang Douzhong's military department Xie Yike and Zhong Tiaoyang were seriously injured, if the two of them couldn't survive, Wang Dou would have a few less familiar faces in front of him, the world is impermanent, nothing more than this.
Wang Dou looked at everyone one by one, Zhong Xiancai and the others were sad and happy, the competition in the Shunxiang army was fierce, and there were many casualties among the brothers in the army in this war, and because of this, they had a chance to take the position. The feelings of war are really complex and difficult to understand.
Shen Shiqi, who Wang Dou looked at, sat abruptly, and the horizontal flesh on his face kept shaking because he was too excited. His eyes swept over the various commanders present, with a smug look on his face, and then at Zhong Xiancai and Wen Fangliang, obviously wondering when he would be able to sit in their seats.
This is a more tyrannical guy than Han Zhong and Gao Shiyin, ruthless to the enemy, can have a fight with Wen Daxing, and has also beaten and bullied Wu Zhengchun, the current general of the first department, and won the love battle. In particular, Xu Yue's Huwei Village is in the dangerous place of Yangjialing.
Xu Yue'e asked Wang Dou to delete the Sun Pillar. Yuan Dawei and a few people entered Xu Lesai to rest and recuperate, and Wang Dou and others did not push some personal guards to move in. The rest of the Xuanda army camped densely on both sides of the river outside the wall, and the whole army rested.
When he arrived at Emperor Zan, the mood of the whole army was also settled, so he just had to rest and calm down.
That night in the village, Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, and Hu Dawei also carefully discussed the future of this army.
There are only three people in the house, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, and Wang Dou, and Wang Dou's series of outstanding performances have won the affirmation of the two veterans. Even Wang Dou faintly became the backbone and morale guarantee of this army. Every word of Wang Dou had to be carefully considered by Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei. In the hearts of the two, only Wang Dou is qualified to sit on the throne of the people below the total army of the army.
At this time, there was silence in the house, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were speechless for a long time, both of them were at a loss and afraid of the future, the coach died in battle, where should they go? If you go to Baoding to find Liu Yuliang, Chen Xinjia and others, you will have the chief officer of the army, but after learning the news of Lu Duchen's death, how will the court punish yourself? Because the future is unknown, they are afraid, and both of them subconsciously avoid mentioning the rendezvous with Chen Xinjia.
Wang Dou is also thinking about this problem, in the battle of Julu, although the three of them have a lot of military merits in hand, and there are reasons for being outnumbered, but the court often only looks at the result, not the process. It is a fact that the soldiers are lost and the main generals are killed.
And Wang Dou thought more, after Lu Xiangsheng died in history, Yang Sichang also carried out a series of difficulties, so that Lu Xiangsheng could not be buried after being martyred, and his body was exposed and decayed for 80 days. Many people were tortured to death by Yang Sichang. In the next few years, he was not allowed to posthumously confer the bereavement, and Wang Dou wanted to avoid all this, so that the gods of heaven would be loyal to the ministers in vain.
However, with the appearance of a disgraced face now, even if he has a lot of military exploits in hand, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the desired result.
Wang Dou pondered for a long time, it is not that there is no opportunity, now that the Xuanda army is defeated, the Guanning army is defeated, the Qing army must be invincible, and the state affairs are erosive. In the gloom of state affairs, if there is an exciting victory and turns the tide, it will surely attract the attention of the whole country and the people will be afraid.
In this small situation, the Qing army took advantage of the victory and drove straight in, trapping Baoda, Pinggu, Wuqing and other places, the Ming army fled in despair, and the Beijing division was shaken. On the 20th, Emperor Chongzhen urgently ordered Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to lead the army into the guard.
After hearing the information sent back by Ye Bu, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei sighed at each other.
At the end of December, as the year approaches. Wen Daxing, who had come out of the sentry, returned with an important piece of information.
"The main force of the wheel, the division is going to Shandong. Only the shoes were left in the red flag to take care of the people and wealth looted from Tongzhou and Zhuozhou. When the end will be in Zhuozhou, there will still be day and night to Tongzhou to transport the plundered livestock grain and rice. According to the rough estimates of the last generals, there are still a large number of people left in Zhuozhou by the godson, and it is estimated that there are at least more than 100,000 plundered people, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and rice, more than 200,000 heads of cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, countless gold, silver, and treasures and satin, and I am afraid that there are as many as one million taels. ”
Wang Dou said lightly: "You said yes, now the slaves and thieves in Tongzhou and Zhuozhou, only the slaves and thieves are in the red flag?" ”
Wen Daxing affirmed: "General Hui, exactly." ”
Wang Dou looked around at everyone in the house, and the generals of the Shunxiang Army were all gathered in the house at this time, and everyone had joy on their faces, this news came too well.
Wang Dou laughed out loud: "The people who sent it to the door are wealthy." Don't, it's damned! ”
He shouted: "Mr. Wen Bai, you immediately spread the word to Mr. Han Qian, who stayed in Baozhou, the old and new armies in Baoanzhou, the old army, the old army, the one general left, and the new army, the two generals." The remaining sergeants were all transferred out and gathered in Yizhou, waiting for our army to meet. ”
Wen Daxing shouted to receive the order, Wen Fangliang said with a smile: "With my Shunxiang army in front, the shoe soldiers also dare to divide their troops to capture this, no, the people and wealth they have worked so hard to capture will make a wedding dress for my Shunxiang army." ”
Everyone in the room laughed wildly.
