Chapter 114: Striker
ps: It's the last day of the month, let's see if there is a missed monthly pass, don't waste it, please vote for Wanming. Thank you.
In the next two days, Chen Xin walked around with the generals of the various armies he could find, especially Ma Xianglin's side, he patted his chest and said that he would do everything he could to get out the martyrs of Liaodong, and no matter how far away he was, he would find someone to send the book to Ma Xianglin, so as to leave a tail for future interactions. Ma Xianglin has a very good impression of Chen Xin, he is reliable in fighting, he does not put on an official show, he is generous in sharing money and military achievements, and he also helped those heroes publish books, and he stood on Chen Xin's side in several meetings. Chen Xin also asked Ma Xianglin to provide ten stone pillar soldiers as instructors on the grounds of training mountain soldiers to fight in southern Liaoning, but in fact, there were quite a lot of mountain people in Dengzhou, and Chen Xin only used these ten people to strengthen the closeness between the two sides.
Others have seen Deng Xi, Chen Xin's most wanted to see Cao Zhao but has not come, the smack in Dengzhou Town broke the guts of the Liukou, many battalion leaders fled back to Shanxi, and now in Zezhou and the officers and soldiers to fight guerrillas, if it is not cornered, they do not want to go to Henan for the time being. That killing night was remembered by many.
Chen Xin's reputation was slightly better than Cao Zhao's, because he did not kill those who surrendered, only the most evildoers were shot, and even some horsemen were released. For those ordinary homeless people, he gave them two meals, and then let them leave on their own, these people remembered his goodness, and even gave him a nickname that was more gentle, because of the red clothes in Dengzhou Town, Chen Xin got a nickname called Red Yama, since this battle, there was no large stream of Liukou close to the station of Dengzhou Town.
Song Wenxian pulled the line in the middle, and finally decided to sacrifice the prisoners, Xuan Mo gave them 2,000 stone of grain, Lu Zhi gave up the mountain tiger to Xuan Mo, and the two sides escorted Zijin Liang to Jingshi together. Chen Xin wrote a private letter to Liang Tingdong, saying that Jinzhou might be attacked. Houjin may have come with the whole division, hoping that the military department would allow him to return to Dengzhou, but he did not mention anything such as armament and horses.
The night attack on Zijinliang not only gave the Liukou a deterrent, but also made the Ming army of other departments look sideways, and a small number of officers and soldiers wanted to come to take refuge, and Dengzhou Town only accepted the night. Some Henan men also came to join the army, many of them were ruined by the rogues, and Dengzhou Town also received more than 100 people after screening and sent them to Linxian first.
during this time. The officers and soldiers of various departments entered Huaiqing Mansion to chase and suppress the Liukou, but Xuan Mo could not move Dengzhou Town, so he only led the other horses to chase and suppress the Liukou. They were stimulated by Dengzhou's great victory, thinking that the rogues were vulnerable, and they thought of themselves as Dengzhou Town. Soaring all the way, looting in the countryside.
The people of Dengzhou Town did not attack, their reason was that Zijin Liang was in the camp, and the army should stay behind to prevent the camp from being robbed. After the screening of the captives were sent to Linxian one after another, after Chen Xin's field investigation, Huixian County did not have the foundation of Tuntian, and nearly half of the land in Weihui Mansion belonged to the various vassal kings of Henan.
The fiefdom algorithm of the vassal king is complex. The numbers really made Chen Xin staggered, the legal farmland of Luwangfu is 40,000 hectares, that is, 2 million mu, and Fuwang is 20,000 hectares. However, these lands are scattered in three provinces, mainly Henan and Huguang, for example, the 40,000 hectares of land in Luwangfu are left over from the previous King Jing, and Wanli gave them to King Lu. In fact, it is not directly sent to the field, but the output of the field. Every year, the political secretary of Huguang has to hand over to the palace of King Lu, this matter has to be ripped off every year, and the political secretary is not such an honest thing, and King Fu once sent someone to measure the land and fought with the locals.
The real land of Weihui is occupied by King Lu, King Fu and so on by various means, the means are more direct than Chen Xin, and the stealing and occupying idle fields are considered gentle, and there are not a few who forcibly occupy them, and the local officials dare not take care of it.
Chen Xin can't compare with them, and he can't afford to provoke them for the time being, not because the vassal kings are strong, but because they represent the imperial power, and it is very unwise to conflict with them, and it is easy for the emperor to have bad associations.
On 11 July, the careless officers and troops were finally attacked head-on, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai joined forces and routed the advancing Henan Mao soldiers in 20 miles southwest of Qinghua Town, and more than 2,000 Henan soldiers were about to be defeated, and less than 500 fled back to the battalion. Their rout also caused confusion among the Jingying soldiers, Li Zicheng and the others did not pursue, but a few sentry horses appeared, and the Jingying was also so frightened that they ran all the way, losing thousands of men and horses.
The actual number of 5,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp who came to Henan was only 3,000, which was also full of green skins and beggars who helped idle, and after Huaiqing caught the strong men all the way, they had already gathered 5,000 soldiers, and after this time there were only more than 3,000 left.
In the end, relying on Zuo Liangyu and Deng Xi, the official army stabilized its position, but the opening of the official army was not small, Li Zicheng was the most courageous, and entered Weihui Mansion from this place, Xuan Mo had to lead the various departments to turn around and chase after him, and the momentum of the official army advancing together was lost, and Huaiqing Mansion entered a chaotic situation again.
When Chen Xin received the news of the defeat of the official army, he had already packed his bags, this situation was the best for him, he was not suitable to kill prisoners, he also released many infantry and horsemen, the characteristics of the rogue allowed them to quickly reorganize, the east family does not fight the west family, the fall of a purple gold beam, and a stronger thief will emerge.
Liang Tingdong's reply was faster than the military order of the Ministry of War, and he was full of promises to Chen Xin's request. This time, Dengzhou Town won one after another, and Zijin Liang was captured, which is no less significant than Cao Zhao killing Wang Jiayin, and he can also sacrifice his majesty. This year, the overall battle situation is very smooth, the convection of the Kou has formed a siege, the northwest Chahar came in to rob, but was also repelled by the border army, his position is relatively stable this year, and he is definitely not willing to be spoiled by Houjin at this time.
What made Wang Mafu strange was that Chen Xin was not in a hurry to leave, he was surprised that Chen Xin could not take Houjin in his eyes so much, and after enduring it for a few days, he finally couldn't help it and asked Chen Xin about it.
Chen Xin smiled when he heard this, looked at Wang Mafu and said: "I, the chief soldier of Dengzhou Town, was obtained by fighting Jinzhou, according to our plan, Jinzhou is not a place to defend, God knows when Zhu Guobin will give up Jinzhou." As soon as Jinzhou is lost, the city is trapped, and the official will be impeached at that time, but I came to Zhongzhou to suppress bandits, and I was also transferred by the Ministry of War, since I am not in Dengzhou, then there is a reason to shirk this responsibility. I have to wait, when will Huang Taiji come, when will I return to Dengzhou. ”……
"Yesterday I wrote down the four times that the cloth shop was put into the army, a total of 200 people, and 30 people came out, and according to the number of people who went out of the fort to fetch water and smoke, it was estimated that the total population in the fort was 700, and there should be 3 or 400 armor soldiers. On the way back, he met Jiannu patrolling the mountains. Kill both opponents and injure both opponents. Three people were killed and one wounded in my team...... The wounded soldier was probably captured by Jiannu, who was shot in the leg and was in critical condition at the time, and Jiannu had more than fifty people. ”
In a hidden camp in Jianzi Mountain, Li Tao waited with red eyes and listened to the feedback of a reconnaissance team, which was the forward base of the special service team near Fuzhou. The camp is tucked away in a wooded area halfway up the eastern slope, and a hundred steps west of the camp is a rock that serves as an observation platform, where the view is open and the surroundings can be overlooked. There are three squads stationed here. There are also two campsites, closer to the Golden State. The camp in Jianzishan is the closest to Jiannu, and it is also the most difficult, they can't light a fire day and night, they rarely get a cooked meal, and they usually have to change it every five days, and Li Tao has been here for fifteen days.
He heard that another person had been taken prisoner. His face was a little gloomy. Now it is getting more and more difficult for the sentinels, the Jiannu sentry cavalry has increased several times, and it is difficult for the Dengzhou sentry cavalry and the special service team to cross the Jianzi Mountain.
In the first few months, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and Jiannu was once oppressed to the west of the Fuzhou River. The vast area on the east bank has become the territory of Dengzhou Town's sentry cavalry, and now there are more and more Jiannu Baijia, and Dengzhou Town has retreated dozens of miles to the east, and does not dare to cross Jianzi Mountain during the day. They usually lurk in the mountains near Fuzhou at night. Stay for a day or two, get information, and then return by night. The timeliness is much worse than before. It has also happened many times that someone has been captured, and as long as there is fighting, this matter cannot be avoided, and Dengzhou Town also captured eleven Houjin scouts, and after interrogation, they were all sent to Lushun.
"Find a letter from the brigade and write down the situation, the civil affairs committee looks at his family, and only hopes that he will have time to break it himself, otherwise he will be asking for trouble if he falls into the hands of Jiannu." Li Tao clapped his hands and praised the team leader, "Be careful in the future, now the Tartars have to patrol even at night?" ”
"Yes, they seem to have discovered the path we take most often, and have set up an ambush nearby, these Tartars are very strong, not only are they not afraid of death, but they are also very good at fighting, and they are like flying in the mountains, and they are about the same as our most well-trained members."
"I know, you go down first, don't take that road in the future, today Lord Zhu came to order, the task of the special service team has changed to blocking, and after Jiannu passes Guò, he will lurk in the mountains and attack the enemy's grain road." After Li Tao finished speaking, the captain saluted and left.
Li Tao rubbed his face with his hands, judging from Jiannu's troop transfer some time ago, the two yellow flags have the most people and horses, so Houjin will definitely dispatch the main force, there are not many scouts in Fuzhou, and there are also changes in the direction of Xiuyan, and the blue flag is restored to the Yellow Bone Island Fort. Zhu Guobin's order shows that the commanders judged that Jiannu would come to attack Jinzhou, and they were unwilling to lose more elites to investigate, after all, the special service team of Dengzhou Town was not easy to train, and more than 40 people were killed and injured this year.
According to Li Tao's own estimates, there is no doubt that Jiannu will attack in a big way, but it is difficult to say how many people will be dispatched, and at present, there should be about 7,000 between Fuzhou and Gaizhou, and the north of Gaizhou cannot be investigated. It relates to whether the Golden State needs to be evacuated. After the Jin soldiers were hit hard, they couldn't just send a few thousand people to take Jinzhou, once there was a cavalry march eastward, there must be more men and horses behind.
Therefore, Li Tao also understood Zhu Guobin's order, the official road from Fuzhou to Jinzhou is the key, and the special service team and rangers should delay the enemy's advance on this road and buy time for Jinzhou's retreat. Li Tao is still a little proud of the special service and cavalry in general, their raid on Fuzhou this year caused a shortage of food in Fuzhou, which could not be used for the march of the army, otherwise Jiannu would not have to transport the grain first, and then strengthen the scout war, and then Dengzhou deduced the intention. Only when there is contact can there be military intelligence, this is Li Tao's own summary, Dengzhou Zhentong guò constantly attacked, not only to attack the other side, but also to obtain the necessary information.
"Captain, there is smoke and dust, thousands of cavalry!"
Li Tao turned his head to see that it was a captain of the second team, who was running from the direction of the observation platform, and the players who were resting around him all looked up.
Li Tao immediately stood up, habitually lifted his backpack, and quickly caught up with the captain, the two did not speak, and ran a hundred steps away to reach the observation platform in a blink of an eye.
"If you really came, if you want to march quickly to besiege Jinzhou, those staff officers have already calculated it for you. First send a message to Jinzhou, and then tell the ones behind, and hang up all the harmful things to Lao Tzu, I see how fast they can run. ”
