Chapter 328: Reinforcements? No reinforcements!
In history, Liu Jin, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, Zhang Yong and others were all described as "traitors". In fact, they can indeed be called traitors. The so-called corruption and seizure of power and framing Zhongliang, they have not done a single thing.
But from beginning to end, they knew very well that their glory and wealth must rely on the emperor. If you want to keep the existing one, one is to ensure that the emperor still has honor and trust in you, and the other is to ensure that the emperor lives in peace and stability.
So rarely, Jiang Bin finally agreed with Jiang Xia's opinion for the first time, and persuaded Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in armor and crossed the sword at this moment: "Your Majesty, the last general has already received the news, and it is said that it is Dayan Khan of Tatar who is leading the troops this time.
He claimed to bring '100,000 Mongolian iron horsemen', even if it was a slight exaggeration, at least there should be 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the four towns of Xuanfu were too dangerous at the moment, or the emperor would temporarily retreat to the back of Juyong Pass and take command. ”
Zhu Houzhao was a little unhappy when he heard this, he shook his head and said: "There are only tens of thousands of Tatars, and there are a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the four towns of Xuanfu. He is the besieging party, I am the defending party, he is not afraid, am I still afraid of him?
It's better if Dayan Khan is here, I happen to meet him, to see if he is powerful or I am powerful. ”
After speaking, Zhu Houzhao reflexively walked down the city tower of Xuanfu and walked towards the Zhenguo Mansion in Xuanfu City.
Dayan Khan was known as the "Little Mongolian Prince" on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why it has such a title is because Dayan Khan is the fifteenth grandson of Genghis Khan.
When he inherited the throne in the fifteenth year of Chenghua, he was still very young, so the Ming people called him the little prince. As mentioned earlier, Dayan Khan can be regarded as the lord of the Mongol kingdom.
Since the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols fled to Guanwai and divided into two, one is "Tatar" and the other is "Warat".
Before Dayan Khan succeeded to the throne, the Guanwai had always been dominated by "Wara", and the living space of the Tatars was very narrow.
However, after Dayan Khan succeeded to the throne, he united the various Tatar Khanate tribes, gradually strengthened himself, and finally drove Warat to the remote and barren areas of the northwest in one fell swoop.
Dayan Khan was only sixteen years old when he was in power, and Zhu Houzhao was fifteen years old when he was in power. So many people have always compared Dayan Khan with Zhu Houzhao.
After a pro-government, the royal family was revived, making the Tatars stronger and stronger. After a pro-government, he was absurd, violent, grotesque and shameless, which made the rule of the Qingming officials in the period of filial piety seem to be smoky and suffocating.
So when it came to Dayan Khan, Zhu Houzhao actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, Zhu Houzhao is also a person who has experienced the chaos in Henan, so this time he is not hot-headed and then stupid and bold to take risks alone.
When Zhu Houzhao returned to Zhenguofu, Jiang Bin also followed. Zhu Houzhao entered the study, and Jiang Bin followed without saying a word.
When he arrived at the study, Zhu Houzhao picked up a pen and wrote a handwritten message.
The content of the edict is probably to ask the Beijing camp to transfer 100,000 troops to rush to the aid of Xuanfu, and this time Zhu Houzhao has his own arrangements for the aid of this 100,000 army.
Among them, 50,000 soldiers and horses galloped to the aid of Xuanfu, and the other 50,000 soldiers and horses marched from Yingzhou, Shanxi Province to Tatar Shajing.
Seeing this message, Jiang Bin's eyes lit up slightly.
That's a good deal to deal with.
Using itself as bait to attract superior Tatar forces to attack the four towns of Xuanfu. After the two sides bite the bite, they will send a surprise army to raid the interior of the Tatars.
If the Tatar army did not withdraw and return to help, maybe the army that had gone around behind them would be able to turn its guns and come back and attack the army on the side of the four towns of Xuanfu on both sides, and directly kill the Tatar army.
After Zhu Houzhao finished writing the edict, he stamped his seal, and then handed the edict to Jiang Bin and said, "How is it?" You don't have to worry about it after I do that. ”
Jiang Bin knew that Zhu Houzhao was unhappy, he hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "The emperor is wise and martial, and the last general is ignorant and ignorant and did not expect the emperor to do this, Weichen deserves to die, Weichen deserves to die."
After speaking, Jiang Bin knelt on the ground.
Zhu Houzhao smiled, personally held Jiang Bin's hand to make him stand up, and then said: "I don't stay in the Jingshi with flowers, why do you come to your windy and sandy Guanwai?" Do you think I'm here to have fun?
Henan was in turmoil, and I suffered the greatest humiliation since I was born. Without a great victory under my own command, how could I wash away this humiliation? ”
Jiang Bin looked at Zhu Houzhao and nodded heavily, and offered his fart: "The emperor has exhausted his wisdom and ingenuity, and we have won three points before this big battle starts." The last general is willing to follow the emperor to fight the enemy on the battlefield with his own hands, so as to help the emperor achieve this real great achievement. ”
Zhu Houzhao was also proud in his heart when Jiang Bin said this, and immediately said loudly: "Okay! Let me take you to win this battle yourself. ”
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the door of the outer room and said, "Come in!" ”
There is only one person in the Zhenguo Mansion who can knock on the door with his own hands, but the guards outside the door will not stop him, and that is Li Feng.
Sure enough, after the door was opened, Li Feng walked into the room with a maid carrying a soup cup.
After staying in Xuanfu for so long, Li Feng's stomach had begun to bulge slightly.
She bowed to a small margin and said, "The concubines see the emperor." ”
Zhu Houzhao felt that he ran over to help her and said, "No courtesy, didn't I say that you don't have to salute?" ”
Li Feng glanced at Jiang Bin, meaning that if there are outsiders, I have to give you a face.
Jiang Bin hurriedly saluted Li Feng and shouted, "See Concubine Feng." ”
"General Jiang is exempt." Li Feng's right hand was raised, and then he turned around and took the soup cup with the maid next to him and put it on Zhu Houzhao's bookcase.
"Your Majesty, the concubine saw that you had been inspecting military affairs recently, so she specially ordered someone to boil ginseng tonic soup for you, and the emperor drank it while it was hot."
"Concubine Ai is bothered." Zhu Houzhao nodded: "After a while, I will discuss foreign military affairs with General Jiang, and then drink." ”
"Then the emperor must remember to drink, and the concubines will retire first."
"Hmm." Zhu Houzhao nodded.
After Li Feng exited Zhu Houzhao's study, Fan Jie immediately frowned slightly, and she had heard all of Zhu Houzhao's words outside the door just now.
The failure of Henan to quell the turmoil left a deep impression on Li Fengtai, so she was different from Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao urgently needed a victory to prove that he could, while Li Feng was worried when he heard that Zhu Houzhao was going to personally command the battle.
Last time, it was just to deal with a rebellious army composed of some homeless people, and this time it was necessary to fight with a Tatar army that could stop children crying at night, how can this be done.
Li Feng hurriedly returned to his room and wrote a letter.
After writing it, Li Feng handed the letter to his personal maid Yi'er.
Yi'er's father was originally a guerrilla general in Xuanfu, but he was unfortunately besieged and killed when the Tatars disturbed the border, and later Yi'er was arranged by Jiang Bin to take care of Li Feng.
Because his father is a military general, Barley also knows some kung fu, and he is even more skilled in equestrianism.
After Li Feng handed the letter to Yi'er, he said: "Yi'er, you immediately set off to deliver this letter to a person named Jiang Xia in Jingshi Xiaoyao Villa, remember, you must hand it over to him personally." ”
After receiving the letter, Yi'er nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Niang'er, Yi'er will definitely deliver this letter." ”
After speaking, Barley retreated first.
The words are divided into two ends.
As everyone knows, from outside the customs to inside the customs, one of the places that must be passed through is Juyong Pass.
Juyong Pass is a famous ancient customs city along the Great Wall of Beijing, and is called the "four famous passes" in western Beijing of the Ming Dynasty together with Bauhinia Pass, Baoma Pass and Guguan.
Jiang Bin sent the people who went to Beijing to transfer reinforcements to Juyong Pass, and they were found by the spies of Dongchang, and then they were killed by the spies of Dongchang as soon as they left Juyong Pass, and the body was thrown in the wilderness, and the letters on their bodies were sent back to Jingshi and handed over to Liu Jin.
On the Jingshi side, Jiang Xia and Huang Feiyue have been closely watching the movements of the four towns of Xuanfu during this time, but their news in Xuanfu is not well-informed, so the news they got is a little incomplete.
However, one thing is for sure, the Xuanfu now seems to have entered a state of full readiness.
Knowing this, Jiang Xia was a little relieved, and the four towns of Xuanfu were all in a state of preparation, so it proved that Zhu Houzhao had received his letter and understood that the Tatars might have a conspiracy this time, so preparations were underway.
Since they have already begun to prepare for war, Zhu Houzhao will not be so stupid that he will not even prepare reinforcements in advance, so Jiang Xia is silently waiting for the transfer of troops and horses in the Beijing Division.
As long as the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division are transferred, Zhu Houzhao will not be in much danger. So many people protect him, even if he can't beat him, will it be difficult to escape?
However, there was no movement in the soldiers and horses of the first-class Beijing Division, and there was no movement in the soldiers and horses of the second-class Beijing Division. Finally, nine days later, Jiang Xia waited for a woman in a red power suit.
Looking at the woman's neat outfit, Jiang Xia thought she was from the rivers and lakes at first. After the woman explained her identity, Jiang Xia realized that she was Li Feng's personal maid, and her name was Yi'er.
After repeatedly confirming Jiang Xia's identity, Yi'er handed over the letter on her body to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia took out the letter and looked at it twice.
Seeing this, Jiang Xia's face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed in his mouth: "It's not good!" ”
Through Li Feng's letter, Jiang Xia knew two pieces of information.
First, Zhu Houzhao had already decided to meet the Tatar army, and second, he sent an edict to send reinforcements from the Beijing Division to the four towns of Xuanfu to support.
However, the so-called reinforcements of the Beijing division did not have any shadow at all, and the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp showed no signs of being pulled out at all.
Jiang Xia was such a smart person, and he suddenly guessed that this qiē must be someone making trouble. Even if there is no evidence, Jiang Xia can be inferred from inference alone, and the person who is making trouble must be Liu Jin.
finally made a move, and Jiang Xia looked cold
