Chapter 756: Pursuit
Zhong Susu dressed up slightly, but she was General Hu Ben, one of the five major generals of the Jingbian Army, and she naturally had to wear the winter dress of the Jingbian Army to participate in the military conference. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dressed in a troll, with exquisite wool on the side, wearing a three-mountain warm hat, stepping on felt wool boots, and then tying a cloak, with a sharp sword pinned to his waist, flying confident, and looking forward to pride.
Of course, in the past, Zhong Susu always wrapped her chest tightly, even if she was handsome, many people didn't think much about it, after all, there were many handsome and handsome people in the Jingbian army, such as Gao Xun, such as Wen Fangliang, who were all handsome women.
But now Zhong Susu has let go of his chest, bulging and towering, and at first glance it is his daughter's house, so when Zhong Susu appeared in front of his guards, some people showed a look of surprise on their faces, and some people couldn't hide their surprise in their eyes.
Of course, they are all professional soldiers, with strict discipline, and they don't gossip about it, and each of them only makes eye contact for a while, and then concentrates on their guard duties.
They rode horses, holding high the honor guard banner of General Tiger Ben, the armor and banner all had the logo of the White Tiger Army, they were all straight in the wind and snow, heroic and tough, confident and high-spirited, with a very attractive heroic temperament.
These soldiers are the dream lovers of countless Xuanzhen girls and Anbei girls, and if they marry, they will marry Jingbian soldiers, which can be described as the truth in Xuanfu Town and Anbei. It is completely different from the concept of good men not being soldiers elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty, and good iron is not nailed.
Zhong Susu rode on the horse, the snowflakes swirled and kept falling on her cloak, and soon they were white, but her eyes were still bright, and there was a majesty in her anticipation. As she rode through the streets, she left a cry of surprise.
Hussar General, Eagle Yang General, Leopard Tao General, Tiger Ben General, Tiger Lie General. Among the five major generals of the Jingbian Army, although the hussar generals of the Han Dynasty are the most noble and respectful, as one of the five major generals, Zhong Susu, who is the general of the Tiger Ben, is still the focus of attention of countless well-intentioned people.
Now the city of naturalization is very prosperous. People came and went, so after seeing Zhong Susu passing by, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my God, General Tiger Ben is actually a woman."
"It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go."
"Incredible, strange woman."
"Take off my wartime robes and put on my old clothes. When the window is cloudy. Yellow appliquΓ© on the mirror. When I went out to see the fire companion, the fire companion was frightened. has been together for 12 years, but I don't know that Mulan is a girl...... When the world Mulan appeared, this is a good story and ......"
"How can this be, my Zhonglang ......"
This is the sorrow of some ignorant girls or young women, in fact, there are a lot of dementia women in Xuanfu Town and Anbei who have inexplicable longing for Zhong Susu, and now everyone's dreams are broken.
Soon Zhong Susu entered the yamen of the Dadu Protectorate and entered the meeting hall. The eyeballs that were shocked all the way, some people were shocked, and some people knew it. At this time, the hall was full of people coming and going, especially the paintings, and there was a huge map hanging on the wall, and an equally huge sand table was placed in the middle.
Around the map and the sand table, many people sat or stood and talked.
Their martial arts are dressed like Zhong Susu. Trolling clothes, three mountain hats. Stepping on felt wool boots, pinning swords, and wearing cloaks, flying and cruel, it is like a large group of brocade guards coming. Civilian workers wear soft hats and tight-fitting robes. Covered with short sleeves, he also wears a sword at his waist, and he is elegant and heroic.
They share the same temperament as self-confidence and vigor, symbolizing the vitality of the group.
At this time, many important generals and officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate had already arrived. Such as General Zhenshuo, the general soldier of Xuanfu Town, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the hussar general Han Chao.
Zhang Gui, Minister of Civil Affairs, and Chi Dacheng, Minister of Supervision. There is also the head of the General Staff, General Wen Fangliang. Tiger Lie General Li Guangheng. Huang Shibian, the head of the Zhenfu Division, Li Jinpei, the general manager of the Fufu Division, Qin Yi and others in the senior praise painting.
And Zhang Gui's subordinates, Zhong Rong, Zhong Zhengxian, and Tian Changguo, vice ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Han Chao's subordinates, Vice Minister of Military Affairs Sun Sanjie, Qi Tianliang, Lin Daofu and others all arrived. There is also Zhao Xuan, the commander of the artillery battalion, who is talking to Sun Sanjie and Qi Tianliang.
But for the time being, I didn't see Gao Shiyin, the general of the Leopard Tao, Xie Yike, the commander of the Sentinel Battalion, Shen Shiqi, the commander of the Zhongyi Battalion, and Zeng Qiyi, the commander of the new attached battalion.
Wen Daxing, the chief officer of the Intelligence Department, and Zhong Tiaoyang, the deputy director of the General Staff and the commander of the escort battalion, also did not see it.
When Zhong Susu entered, the meeting hall was quiet, Han Chao and Wen Fangliang were getting together and talking about something, maybe this time was very busy, and their faces were a lot darker.
Seeing Zhong Susu dressed up, both of them were stunned, and then saw that she was a little hasty in front of everyone, and then Han Chao greeted loudly: "Sister Zhong." β
He and Wen Fangliang strode over, and Zhong Susu clenched his fists a little shyly: "Brother Han, Brother Wen." β
Han Chao smiled: "This is good, it should have been like this a long time ago." β
Wen Fangliang also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, women don't let me shave my eyebrows, and I have a good story in the Jingbian Army." β
At this time, Zhang Gui also came over with a smile and greeted: "Haha, isn't this General Mulan Zhong in our army?" β
Zhong Rong and the others smiled and saluted, Li Guangheng and Sun Sanjie smiled and nodded at Zhong Susu, only Zhao Xuan's eyes widened in shock, he rubbed and rubbed, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Seeing the warm greeting of the brothers, their friendly warmth moistened Zhong Susu's heart, her eyes were a little red, and she solemnly saluted: "Little sister, thank you brothers for always taking care of you." β
Only Zhong Zhengxian looked at Zhong Susu with a scrutinizing gaze for a while, and then he thought of something, and his expression softened.
"What's so hilarious?"
With Gao Shiyin's voice, I saw Gao Shiyin, Xie Yike, and Shen Shiqi swaggering into the hall, and there was a new subordinate general Zeng Yiyi next to him.
I heard Gao Shiyin say in a loud voice: "Today, my three crab generals gather, and the world is shaking!" β
Zeng Zhiyi said: "I have been promoted to the fourth general." β
Gao Shiyin squeezed up and beckoned: "Lao Han, Lao Wen, Lao Li, yo, are you running diligently?" Huh......"
Gao Shiyin looked at Zhong Susu, his face was very exciting, and he said expectantly: "Brother Zhong...... Sister Zhong......"
He hurriedly changed the topic, touched his face and said, "Ah, the wind and sand in Dongzhen are too big, look at my burly face is tanned." β
Han Chao smiled: "You are already black. β
Zhong Susu said: "Lao Gao, with your respectful appearance, is it black or white?" β
Xie Yike kept looking at Zhong Susu, his eyes kept rolling. Then he thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled and said, "Sister Zhong." β
Zhong Susu glanced at him: "Xiao Ke'er, do you have any filial piety?" β
At this time, footsteps sounded, and Chi Dacheng, who had been sitting still, suddenly shouted: "Silence! β
Everyone was startled and immediately took their places. Sit quietly, they sit upright and have their own momentum.
Soon, footsteps came from behind the screen, and then Wang Dou appeared in front of everyone.
I saw him dressed in a python robe, walking in a dragon and a tiger, with a calm and majestic bearing.
He was followed by Zhong Tiaoyang, the commander of the guard battalion, Ye Xizhi, the director of the Secretariat Department, and Wen Daxing, the chief officer of the Intelligence Department.
Wang Dou entered the lobby. Everyone roared up, bowed down in unison, and shouted, "See the general." β
Wang Dou sat down in his seat, put his hands comfortably on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and said in a deep voice: "The officials will be exempted!" β
Everyone shouted: "General Xie! β
Seeing that everyone sat down violently, Wang Dou said lightly: "Summoning the officials today is to agree on the future strategy!" β
He didn't say much, went straight to the point, and first let Wen Daxing talk about the defeat of Sun Chuanting, which was rumored some time ago.
Although everyone knew that Sun Chuanting was defeated and died. It is also known that the general summoned them, which has a lot to do with Sun Chuanting's affairs. But I don't understand the details inside, and at this time, I am in good spirits and listen carefully.
Wen Daxing nodded slightly to everyone, he only had one hand left, and he couldn't hold his fists to salute, so he nodded in greeting.
Wen Daxing unfolded a newspaper in his hand. Lang said: "On October 21, under the urging of the holy decree, the Governor Sun Gebu led nearly 100,000 troops from Kaifeng to Nanyang. The thieves initially used the tactic of showing weakness to lure the enemy, but after the army entered Xuzhou. The thieves began to harass and ambush and wear. Due to the heavy rain in the autumn and winter of this year, coupled with the cold and freezing weather, the roads are very difficult to navigate, and it is extremely difficult for the officers and men to transport grain and grass supplies, and the spirit of the officers and men is gradually declining. β
Wang Dou got up and came to the sand table in the middle of the lobby, where mountains and rivers are distributed and rivers are vertical and horizontal, like a miniature version of the Ming Dynasty's geographical topographic map.
Seeing Wang Dou get up, all the officials and generals also came to the sand table one after another, and looked at it carefully.
Wen Daxing also came to the sand table, and he continued: "There are two roads for the officers and soldiers to transport grain, and when the Chusun Pavilion Department arrived in Kaifeng, the supply of grain and grass for the officers and soldiers was transported from Luoyang to Kaifeng. Later, the army went south, and the transportation of grain and grass was changed from Luoyang to Ruzhou, Jiaxian and other places. Only a small amount of grain and grass from Shanxi, Beizhi and Shandong were transported to Kaifeng first, and then turned south. β
He said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's because of the strictness of the holy decree, the Sun Pavilion Department is in too much of a hurry, and they carry less than ten days of grain and grass with the army at most, and they can't help them in the future. In other words, perhaps before November, they were basically out of food, and then they lived a bitter life of hunger and hunger, and the soldiers and horses were hungry and thin. β
Everyone sighed when they looked at the sand table, so deep and lonely, so long food road.
Han Chao pondered: "There are no seizures in the local area? Officers and soldiers can't raise food on the spot? β
He also fought the Battle of Saibei and knew the horror of not having food.
Wen Daxing shook his head and said: "According to the intelligence, the thieves are strong and clear, and many cities and villages have been burned to ashes, and they can't get a grain of grain and rice at all. β
He said: "The officers and soldiers are lone and far away, and they are getting farther and farther away from the grain supply areas in the rear, coupled with the frequent heavy rains, the roads are muddy, the officers and soldiers are extremely slow to transport grain, and the soldiers are hungry and cold. Only when they arrived in Yexian County, they broke the city, grabbed hundreds of mules and horses, and then nearly 100,000 soldiers quickly finished eating. β
He said: "According to the intelligence, at this time, some staff members advised Sun Gebu to return to the division to get food, and Sun Gebu replied: The division has been done, even if it is still hungry. So they continued south. β
He said: "The southbound army reached the territory of Yuzhou, and the main force of the thieves gathered, intending to start a decisive battle. The thieves even wrote a war book with a big card and specified a date, but he secretly sent the thieves to copy Liu Zongmin and 30,000 old battalions from the middle road to the rear of the officers and soldiers, and cut off the food routes of the officers and soldiers in Ruzhou, Jiaxian and other places, and the remaining battalions were completely vulnerable. β
The hearts of the people were filled with sorrow, and they knew that the army of the south was over.
Sure enough, Wen Daxing said: "At this time, Sun Gebu is fighting with the thieves, and his new army is sharp, and the car and artillery battalion are relying on it, and he has made quite a success. However, when the news of the grain road was cut off, the army's heart was immediately unstable, and the army was in an uproar, especially the town and battalion generals asked to withdraw to Shaanxi to welcome grain. Many of the battalions fled one after another, and although they were beheaded, they could not stop. β
Wen Daxing said: "The thieves took advantage of the situation to launch a general attack, and the subordinates have not found out which town battalion ran first, but they caused a total collapse, and the towns fled one after another. The number of dead and wounded in the chaos was estimated at 40,000, and only the New Army and the Governor's Battalion were left to hold on. β
Everyone sighed deeply, and when they heard that the officers and soldiers had been defeated again, they were by no means in a bad mood.
Han Chao said: "I heard that Sun Gebu treats Gao Jie, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, how is he?" β
Wen Daxing said lightly: "Ran away, the second one." Or the third run. He was in charge of the cart and artillery battalion, and in order to escape for his life, the battalion sergeants even untied the horses that pulled the carts and cannons and rode away. They even toppled the chariot over the road, blocking the road just to save their lives. β
"These rats!"
Li Guangheng scolded hatefully, and everyone present also had ugly faces.
Wen Daxing finally said: "Everyone can guess the outcome of the matter, the army of thieves surrounded Sun Gebu to attack, and even used artillery, and also added those newly captured firearms and artillery. Finally, the battle of King Cao was repeated. Sun Gebu was killed on the spot. Most of the casualties of the Shaanxi army this time, and countless weapons and armor were lost, which can be described as a fiasco, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole army was annihilated! β
In silence, Zhong Susu said: "I remember that the Sun Pavilion Governor's Battalion was selected from the new army, and they were all equipped with horses, even if the battalion soldiers fled, he could still escape if he wanted to, right?" Just like King Cao. Although their men suffered heavy losses, they also escaped alive. β
Wen Daxing said: "This last general doesn't know. β
Long. Wen Fangliang sighed: "Sun Gebu will not escape, this result may be better for him to die on the battlefield than to run back." β
He said faintly: "There are too many enemies in the Sun Pavilion Division. β
He served as the chief general of Mo Nanxi Town, and his jurisdiction was not far from Shaanxi, and he also knew a lot about Sun Chuanting.
Han Chao nodded: "He has done all kinds of things in Shaanxi. It's all a shocking thing, he is defeated and returns, and those who oppose it will not give him another chance, and he may even go to prison! β
He said softly: "The last general doesn't know much about him, but he also knows that he is a proud person in his bones. He's already been in jail once. If he is imprisoned again, it is better for him to live than to die, it is better to die on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud will be returned! β
Wen Daxing said: "Indeed, after Sun Gebu goes back, there is a great possibility of recovering the jailer. Even if he packs up the defeated troops and goes back at this time, the emperor does not pursue it, and after the situation eases a little, it is very likely that he will be arrested by Jinyiwei and sent to Beijing. β
He said: "The news from the Jingshi, the emperor is angry and anxious about the defeat of the Sun Pavilion Department, and he puts all the blame on the Sun Pavilion Department, here is what he said." β
He unfolded the Chinese newspaper in his hand and read: "The Ministry of Command: The court is lightly invaded, the overseer is defeated, and the superintendent Shangshu is ordered to be cut down, and the remaining soldiers are guarded with the crime of Qin Doudai, and the merit is redeemed." If a thief enters Qin, the previous sin will be counted together. β
He said: "At this time, the emperor did not know that Sun Gebu was killed in battle, thinking that he also retreated to Tongguan with the defeated army, but he sternly told the army that the defeated soldiers and horses should defend Tongguan to the death. β
He said: "But later I learned that Sun Gebu might die, because Sun Gebu's body has not been found yet, and the DPRK and China even suspect that Sun Gebu surrendered to the thieves, so there has been no talk about chasing the seal and adding a confession." After the loyal servant of the Sun Pavilion Department, the elder of his side followed Ma Weizhong to die for nine lives, and returned to Tongguan with the corpse of the Sun Pavilion Department. β
He said: "When the intelligence of the Jingshi comes, he may chase the 'loyal martyrs', the same as Lu Duchen. β
Everyone sighed for a long time, and Gao Shiyin said: "Loyal ministers and righteous people always make people sigh." β
Wang Dou was also silent, he was sure that even if Sun Chuanting did not die, there was a ninety percent chance that Gao would be arrested in prison after returning to Shaanxi.
Although Emperor Chongzhen has always been lenient with the martial arts, killing the literati is like killing a chicken. Moreover, he has too many enemies, and all kinds of past actions are also based on "victory", and his defeat can no longer stop the reckoning of opponents.
What a proud man he was in his bones, just as he said to Wen Shiyan: "How can a big husband return to the jailer? β
If he goes to prison again, it is better for him to die than to die, and it is better to die on the spot!
Chasing the martyrs, this ending is already very good, in history, Sun Chuanting died in battle, but because his body has not been found, there is no posthumous service.
That's fine.
The loyal ministers finally got the good results.
During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty has been dry, but the decisive battle commanded by Sun Chuanting after his comeback, both in history and now, is one of the causes of continuous rain and defeat.
It's really timely. (To be continued.) )
PS: Old White Bull:
After reading the book review area, book friends have a great reaction to Sun Chuanting's war, in fact, I have left enough shots in this chapter, the picture is fixed, and the characters are displayed in a blank space, and then I write to add to the snake.
And there was also a lesson, I couldn't write about war, as soon as I wrote about war, I would be verbose, and if I wanted to end it in 5,000 words, I couldn't end it in 50,000 words, and I even wrote 500,000 words.
This is not the case once or twice, just like the Battle of Tongguan, I originally only counted and wrote 3,000 words, in fact, I don't know how many chapters and how many tens of thousands of words I wrote. The battle of Qingri was about to end in 500 words, and he tried his best to control it, and still wrote several chapters. There are many battles in the past, such as the battle of King Cao, the battle of Zhuxian Town, etc., I only want to write 5,000 words at most.
This has happened too many times, as soon as I write about the war, I can write hundreds of thousands of words of background information. There are still many things about the war below, and they have to be written in detail, and I don't know how long they will be written. So the main and secondary details are omitted.,Let's omit what should be omitted.,The battles where the protagonist wasn't present are all omitted.,Now it's mainly to fill in some holes.γ
However, in the last battle, Wang Dou fought one against two, and fought against Li Zicheng and Dolgon at the same time, how to destroy the thief Hulu, I will write in detail.
