Chapter 199: The End of the Journey (1)
Ren Yingying's beautiful eyes seemed to be full of thousands of resentments, "What's going on here?" It's so easy to say. Henan Eighth Battalion mutiny, although the main force lost most of it, but the remnants also had a few thousand people, but you only sent generals to bring the old troops there, how can you win? ”
"Don't worry, my eldest lady, I guess this battle is coming to an end."
Dasheng Village, is located in Henan Xinyang Fu Guangshan on an inconspicuous village, this place is adjacent to the lake, belongs to the traditional sense of the three regardless of the area, so it is also a good place for the generals to camp in the village. The Zhensong army has won a little victory, but it has been many years. As a general, it is inevitable that there will be times when you miss, and having a stable nest is more important than anything else.
The terrain was precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it had accumulated a lot of money, food, and ordnance, making it a unique refuge. After the border army entered Henan, the eight battalions of the chaotic army fought in the north, Wang Tianzong and Liu Zhenhua saw that the situation was not good, and withdrew in the direction of Guangshan with their own descendants. Xie Chongbao and Liu Jiabin had no choice but to follow the team. Along the way, the officers and soldiers chased after them tightly, and even threw away all the baggage, so they escaped to Dasheng Village by luck.
In the past battles, although the generals were inferior to the officers and soldiers, the battles were not effortless. The local soldiers in Henan were also bitter and ruthless, and the generals opened big accounts, ate the rich, and had a tacit understanding with those bandit troops. As soon as the officers and soldiers charged, the chaotic army threw money, and the officers and soldiers did not chase after the money. Sometimes the rebel army counterattacked, and the officers and soldiers knew that they were short of food and arrows, so they left the heavy supplies for the rebel army. Therefore, the situation in which the bandits were suppressed at the beginning was that the bandits were gone, and the soldiers were nowhere to be found. There is no pressure on anyone to fight such a battle.
But as soon as the border army entered Henan, this method of fighting would not work. In the eyes of those border soldiers, the head is money, and the person is the silver ticket that will go. Whoever cares about your many. He took the knife and slashed it. The generals are good at robbery, but not good at fighting. After all, to be a robber is to seek wealth, not to play with life, and those who are good at fighting have long starved to death. A pair of elite border troops of the imperial court, the degree of collapse. out of everyone's imagination.
In particular, when many soldiers have money, they only want to desert home to buy land and beg for wives, and their will to fight is weak, and they are unable to organize favorable resistance. At the beginning, when the rebellion was the largest, it was known as 80,000 tigers and swept through Zhongzhou. Now it's time to check the people in Dasheng Village. The total number of several coalition forces is less than 4,000, and they have to claim that they have 10,000 soldiers, which is still worthy of a war.
Originally, Wang Tianzhong still felt that the defeat was too miserable, with such a few people, what conditions can be negotiated when talking about Zhao'an? But when it came to the big victory village. After opening the warehouse, he said worriedly: "Why are there so many people left, how can this be a meal!" ”
According to the numbers on the books, there should still be about 3,300 stones of storage valley in Dasheng Village, which is enough for the army to eat for two months. But after opening the warehouse, even if it doesn't weigh it, Wang Tianzong can figure it out. The grain here will never exceed 800 stones.
The big gap of 2,500 stones, what can I make up for here? He angrily grabbed the leader of the warehouse, and he had to make three cuts and six holes. But the leader shouted with a handful of snot and tears: "This is a note from the young master, how dare I not let it go." ”
It turned out that after the Henan Mutiny, the price of grain was rising steadily, and Wang Tianzong's eldest son saw this business opportunity. The master took out the grain from Dashengzhai and sold it, and all the money he earned was taken with his wife and let her go to the old camp. The three sons of the Wang family. It's not a day. The eldest young master has this kind of thought, and Wang Tianzong can understand it, but this is a human life.
When the armory was opened, even Liu Zhenhua was going to vomit blood. This is the ordnance that he has accumulated over the years? The blunt knife broke the spear, and the bow was weak and powerless. The number of arrows and armor is simply 108,000 miles away. It has also been a long time since the victory of the village, and from top to bottom, all of them have slacked off. All sides set up poles to find a way, and asked Wang Tianzong, Liu Zhenhua and other sons, concubines, and brothers-in-law of several big bosses to write notes and resell the weapons in stock. Shaolin and Songshan are their big financiers.
In order to barely match the number, the tattered on the battlefield and the waste equipment damaged after the battle were all regarded as new products and entered the warehouse to pay for them. After a long time, I didn't even have the heart to take care of the warehouse, the house was leaking, I was too lazy to repair it, and I didn't pay attention to it when it rained heavily. As a result, some of the bows and crossbows were called blisters and became waste.
When this remnant army was defeated here, it was already full of baggage, food was not enough, and the armor was not enough. I thought I could get enough supplies and redress here, but I didn't expect it to be the case. Liu Zhenhua said: "There is no way, I have to give them a military salary first to boost their morale." ”
When the manager heard the three words of military salary, even his lips turned white. After inking for a long time, he said: "Some time ago, there were people in Shaanxi who used money, the amount was very large, and the interest rate was quite high......"
The matter of Shaanxi River hedging shares, the cash shortage caused by it, also spread to Henan. There are people here in Xinyang who come out to do money lending business, this person has a good reputation, a hard background, and is not afraid of people to repay their debts. But the problem is that now that the border army is about to chase to the bottom of the mountain, who would dare to die to collect debts in Xinyang?
Liu Zhenhua only felt that a mouthful of old blood reached his throat, and he couldn't wait to kill this pipe warehouse with a knife before he could get angry. But this Guan Cang is an old subordinate, and he also exchanged posts with his own guard captain. If you kill him, I'm afraid that my subordinates will mutiny, but at this time, we can't fight among ourselves anymore.
Wang Tianzong also knew what was going on, so he had to push the pipe warehouse and order, "Pull this dog's head down and beat the eighty military sticks." Invite a few big poles to come and let's negotiate a charter. ”
Among the four big frames, Liu Jiageng was born in the Kaifeng family, not from the green forest, and was separated from the other three by one floor. Xie Laodao and Liu and Wang still have festivals, and they are not people on the same road. Therefore, he temporarily formed an alliance with Liu Jiabin, so as not to be swallowed by the Zhensong army.
At present, in terms of the remaining troops, the Liu family has the most troops, and the Zhensong army is the strongest in the battle. There was his own little Jiujiu in a few clicks, and the meeting lasted all afternoon, and he didn't talk about being ugly. When the dinner was held in the evening, the porridge of the Zhensong army was thicker than that of the other armies, and the two almost caught fire. Hundreds of soldiers pulled out the guys, divided the queue, and tore them apart at the first order.
Finally mediated this matter, let Xie Baocai and Liu Jiageng's troops make their own fires and cook, gave them dozens of stones of food, and dealt with it first. That night, more than 100 soldiers deserted and ran down the mountain. The most terrifying thing is that in this deserted army, there are more than a dozen people who are actually from Liu Zhensong's personal army. Even the soldiers can't maintain their loyalty, what future does this army have?
Since Cai Gongchong coerced the old battalion and defected to the official army, the military spirit of these eight battalions began to fluctuate, and now this evil result has finally been completely reflected. The troops were panicked, and those whose hometowns were nearby had the heart to run away. Liu Zhenhua set up a team of supervisors and cut off dozens of heads, but at night, even the people of the team ran away.
In the end, Wang Tianzong gritted his teeth and took out all the gold and silver left in the treasury for a salary, so that he could barely stabilize the situation, but the big boss knew it in his heart, and I was afraid that such days would not last long.
After another two or three days, I didn't see the envoys of the imperial court coming, nor did I see the border army coming to fight the cottage, so I don't know what kind of heart An's heart was. On this day, several leaders were reading the account books in the righteous hall, thinking about how to divide the remaining food for a few days.
I heard a person outside laughing and walking towards the hall, saying as he walked, "Godfathers, how are you doing?" The child is here to greet you. ”
Liu Zhenhua listened to the voice and knew who was coming. shouted angrily, "Cai Gongchong, you send it to the door yourself." It's a matter of Lao Tzu. "Reach out and draw the knife. Wang Tianzong pressed his arm, "Brother Liu, don't worry." He went all the way to our righteous hall, why didn't there be any movement outside? There's a doorway in this, and you hold your breath. ”
I saw Cai Gongchong walking into the hall with a spring breeze on his face and bright clothes. Behind him was the tall and unusually burly man "Fierce Bird King" Zhou Bofu. This person is known as the first strength in the general, if his mother-in-law does not show up, the entire righteous army will fight alone, and almost no one will be his opponent. Cai Gongchong brought this person with him, no wonder he was full of confidence.
