Chapter 21: A Sense of Foreboding
At this time, the general soldier's mansion has been simply cleaned up by the soldiers, and it is no longer as messy as yesterday.
Last night, Yang He was anxious to find Wang Huazhen, and he didn't look carefully at the layout of the General Military Mansion, and when he came back this time, he found that the Liaodong General Military Mansion was really extraordinary, needless to say, there were dozens or hundreds of rooms alone, and they all had their functions.
After asking Zhang Mingxian about the functions of various departments, Yang He nodded secretly, it should be said that the functional departments of the General Military Office are very comprehensive, and they perform their own duties and are very efficient.
After a while, Yang He came to a room, and when he opened the door, he saw two rows of bookshelves in the room, and the shelves were full of books. Then I saw a desk in front of the bookshelf, on which were a few books and a painting.
Seeing a painting on the desk, Yang He was surprised: "On the occasion of the war, Wang Huazhen is still in the mood to look at the painting?" ”
Yang He subconsciously walked to the desk, wanting to see what kind of painting Wang Huazhen was looking at.
When he got closer, Yang He couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what kind of painting is this, it is clearly a map.
It's just that the map at this time is different from the modern map, and if you don't pay attention to it, you think it's a landscape painting.
Yang He gently picked up the map and looked at it carefully.
Immediately, Yang He found that he didn't recognize most of the words on the map. Yang He held the map, stunned for a while, and finally remembered that he learned simplified characters, and the Chinese characters in the Ming Dynasty were all traditional characters, and the writing habit was from right to left.
Seeing Yang He holding the map and watching, Zhang Mingxian said curiously: "Brother, are you literate?" Can read a map? ”
Yang He shook his head and smiled: "I only know a few words, but I don't dare to say that I can read." If you don't know a word, how can you read a map? ”
Zhang Mingxian smiled: "I thought the brothers would look at the map?" ”
"Big brother can read the map, and ask big brother for guidance." Yang He said busily.
Zhang Mingxian smiled: "I'll watch a fart!" They know me, but I don't know them. ”
Yang He smiled and slowly rolled up the map and tied it. Looking down, he saw a painting tube under the table, and there were several scrolls in it, Yang He knew that these scrolls should also be maps, so he put the scrolls into the painting tube, and then picked up the painting tube.
"Brother, what are you doing? What are you doing with these things? Zhang Ming said strangely.
Yang He said with a smile: "Take it back, and you will have time to learn it in the future." ”
Zhang Mingxian shook his head, didn't say much, and came to the back house with Yang He, and under the guidance of the guards and soldiers, came to a room.
Yang He hadn't slept peacefully for many days, and he was already extremely tired, so he just held on, entered the room, greeted Zhang Mingxian first, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly heard someone outside the door calling urgently, and Yang He hurriedly got up.
Turning his head and seeing that Zhang Mingxian was still asleep, Yang He hurriedly pushed him awake: "Big brother, get up." ”
Zhang Ming rubbed his eyes first, and muttered, "Damn, it's so easy to sleep, but something is wrong." ”
As he spoke, he quickly got down to the ground and opened the door: "What's wrong?" ”
"Dashuai and Shen Rong invite General Zhang and Yang ...... Brother Yang went to discuss the matter. The soldier clenched his fists.
Zhang Ming waved his hand first: "Lead the way in front of the head." ”
The soldier clenched his fists and turned to take the lead, Zhang Mingxian and Yang He hurriedly followed.
Out of the house, Yang He raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart.
Yang He remembers very well that it was morning when he slept, but looking at the current position of the sun, it was obviously still morning. But Yang He felt that his physical condition was very good, obviously he had slept for a long time and his strength had recovered.
After thinking about it, Yang He asked the soldier, "This brother, how long have we been sleeping?" ”
The soldier smiled, "All day." ”
"What? One day? Yang He was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Zhang Mingxian: "Big brother, go quickly, I'm afraid something big will happen." ”
Zhang Mingxian was also taken aback, and he didn't say much, and hurriedly quickened his pace.
After a while, the soldiers took the two to the conference hall, only to see Luo Yiyi, Hei Yunhe, and Li Maochun all there.
Seeing that Luo Yi's face was gloomy, and there were faint traces of blood on his chest, and then he looked at Hei Yunhe and Li Maochun who were also gloomy, Yang He sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
Waving his hand to stop Zhang Mingxian and Yang He from saluting, Luo Yi pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down." ”
Zhang Mingxian nodded and sat down on the chair next to Luo Yi.
Yang He knew that he couldn't be unruly, so he hugged his fists at the three of them and stood aside.
Luo Yi shook his head, and was about to speak, when Heiyunhe hurriedly said: "Dashuai, you take a break, I'll talk about it." ”
Luo always nodded.
Hei Yunhe looked at Zhang Mingxian and Yang He, sighed softly and said, "The soldier who sent a letter to Xiong Tingbi just now reported that Xiong Tingbi retreated to Shanhaiguan with the soldiers and civilians. ”
"What? Is Xiong Tingbi crazy? Actually gave up Quang Ninh? Zhang Ming bounced up from his seat and exclaimed.
Black Cloud Crane smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.
Zhang Ming stared at Luo Yixian, Heiyunhe, and Li Maochun for a while, and slowly sat down on the chair.
After a while, Zhang Mingxian suddenly said: "Did the soldier who delivered the letter see Xiong Tingbi?" ”
"I saw it, and told Xiong Tingbi about the situation in Guangning City." Black Cloud Crane Road.
"Did he tell Xiong Tingbi that we were putting down the rebellion?" Zhang Ming answered first.
"Got it." Black Cloud Crane Road.
"That means Xiong Tingbi already knows what the situation is in Guangning City, but he still retreats to Shanhaiguan with the army and civilians?" Zhang Ming asked first.
"Yes." Black Cloud Crane Road.
"Wait a minute." Yang He hugged his fists at Luo Cheng and the others: "Please forgive the villain for being rude, the villain wants to know whether Xiong Tingbi has already withdrawn when the messenger meets Xiong Tingbi, or whether he has withdrawn after learning the news." ”
Heiyunhe said: "When the messenger saw Xiong Tingbi, he had already withdrawn. ”
Sighing, Hei Yunhe continued: "According to the messenger's inquiry, Xiong Tingbi met Wang Huazhen in the Daling River, when Xiong Tingbi laughed at Wang Huazhen, saying that he said that the 60,000 army could be leveled and captured, but now even Guangning City has been lost, Wang Huazhen is ashamed, and proposed to retreat to Ningyuan and Qiantun, Xiong Tingbi said that it was too late, and now he can only take the people to retreat to Shanhaiguan. Wang Huazhen lost Guangning, and at this time he had lost his temper, so he had to obey Xiong Tingbi's orders. ”
Yang He sighed lightly when he heard this: "That is to say, after Xiong Tingbi learned about the situation in Guangning City later, he refused to return to Guangning only for the sake of temporary morale. ”
"That's it." Black Cloud Crane Road.
"Bastard! Bastard! Xiong Tingbi, this bastard, is so misguided! Zhang Mingxian muttered and scolded.
Yang He shook his head: "Xiong Tingbi made such a decision, didn't anyone persuade him?" ”
It is said that when he learned that the reinforcements who rescued Xiping Fort had suffered a defeat at Pingyang Bridge, Senator Xing Shenyan advised Xiong Tingbi to garrison in Guangning and reinforce Guangning, but was blocked by Han Chu's order. Later, Xing Shenyan persuaded Xiong Tingbi to return to Guangning, but Xiong Tingbi still refused. Black Cloud Crane said.
Yang He sighed softly when he heard this: "I can't imagine that Xiong Tingbi would kill himself for the sake of a momentary mood!" ”
Zhang Mingxian said: "We don't know if Xiong Tingbi is self-defeating, and we can't control him, we should think about what we should do now, are we still guarding Guangning?" ”
"Withdraw your troops. I have already sent someone to investigate, Jianyu is now wandering in the Shaling area, I don't know what to worry about, while Jianyu is still far away from Guangning, let's also withdraw. Li Maochun said.
"We can go, but what about the wounded soldiers? They easily escaped from Xiping Fort, but they were wounded in Quang Ninh, should we leave them behind? Black Cloud Crane said.
Saying that, Hei Yunhe looked at Luo Zhengyi.
Luo has always been not stupid, at a glance he can see that Hei Yunhe doesn't want to defend Guangning anymore, but he doesn't want to abandon the infamy of the wounded soldiers, and wants him to take the idea, so that any infamy will fall on his Luo Yi's head.
But this infamous Luo has always wanted to carry it, and he wants people to know that he abandoned the wounded soldier and ran away by himself, who wants to come to his army in the future?
And Luo has always been very clear about his body, he was seriously injured, after learning that Xiong Tingbi retreated to Shanhaiguan, he was furious, and the wound burst, he doubted that he could return to Shanhaiguan. If you are halfway dead, but you still have to bear the infamy of abandoning the wounded soldiers, it is even more unworthy.
After thinking about it, Luo Yi looked at Yang He and said, "Yang He, what do you think?" ”
Yang He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he had already seen that Heiyunhe, Li Maochun and Zhang Mingxian didn't want to keep Guangning, but Luo Consistent probably didn't want to leave, Luo Consistent asked him, hoping that he could persuade Heiyunhe and the three to stay, otherwise, Luo Consistent would never be able to keep Guangning alone.
After pondering for a while, Yang He said: "Generals, the villain is just a small soldier, what you command, the villain will do, but since General Luo asked the villain what he thought, the villain will dare to say what he thinks, if what he said is not right, I hope that the general Haihan." ”
"You just say it, even if it's wrong." Gauze**.
Yang He nodded and continued: "Just now General Hei said that the wounded soldiers, if they retreat, the wounded soldiers may not be able to escape the pursuit of the Jianyu. There are also those people near Quang Ninh, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the poisonous hands of Jianjiao.
The villain dared to ask the generals, what did the generals fight to the death with Jianlu in Xiping Fort for? ”
Luo Yi and the others were stunned when they heard this, they had never thought about this problem, they only knew that they were asked to defend Xiping Fort, so they fought desperately.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang He shook his head and sighed: "Maybe the generals have the idea of being loyal to the monarch and defending the territory, thinking that guarding the territory is the duty of the soldiers, but if there are no ordinary people here, what is the point of guarding Xiping Fort or not?" The villain can frankly say that if there were no ordinary people in this area of Liaoxi, Jianyu would never send troops this time.
The villain once entered the camp at night, but the villain searched around the camp and did not find food, and later the villain asked Zhang Shun and Brother Zhang to know that the prisoners were fighting with their own food, horses, and ordnance. And if we hadn't even suffered a defeat, the military funds would have been taken away, and the Jianyu would not even have a military account, and we would not have dared to send troops in the winter.
From this, the villain learned that the materials of the Jianyu were extremely scarce. It is precisely because of the lack of materials that they will use troops in winter, and they will rush to use troops before even passing the New Year's Pass. They have only one purpose in using soldiers, to grab supplies! ”
Everyone nodded silently when they heard this.
