Chapter 231: Under the City of Daizhou
Li Xin made a circle along Xinshui to the west, and then suddenly turned around, passing through Lubanzhai and Yang Wuyu and went straight to Daizhou. When passing through Laoxian, he set off a cannon for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party's guards were timid and opened the city to ask for surrender, which made Li Xin surprised and felt very troubled, how to deal with these surrendered thieves fell into a big problem. According to the plan, they only intended to scare and scare them and went straight to Daizhou, who would have thought that these bear bags would be so unfrightened and become a burden to drag back.
In the end, Li Xin decided to garrison Laoxian without a soldier or a soldier, first, the three guards were originally small, and second, even if there were people left, they might not be able to defend this small city that was no more than two feet tall in front of the thieves and reinforcements. As for the thieves, if they rebel, it's not too late to clean up after the Daizhou is over!
Before leaving, Gao Shiming called Lu Jiu over behind Li Xin's back and muttered for a while, as if he had explained something, only to see Lu Jiu glance at Gao Shiming and nodded again.
Gao Shiming didn't seem to be at ease, and said again: "Your family's chief soldier is kind-hearted and soft-faced, to deal with these thieves, since you can't restrain yourself, you naturally want to eliminate the evil, you are also doing this for the good of the Three Guards, isn't it?" ”
Lu Jiu nodded, and hurriedly left the army with people, and only rushed back after a while, Gao Shiming glanced at him and smiled. I can't help but feel complacent, since Li Xin likes to sell his reputation and doesn't want to do it, he will do it for himself. Just as, in the face of the messenger of the King of Jin, Gao Shiming was reluctant to get involved in this matter, this is a good work, it is not good to do what has happened, it is too late to hide, and even if Li Xin has not arrived home in a daze, he drove those goods out of Xinzhou City on the grounds of counterfeiting.
After hundreds of miles of rapid marching, although Gao Shiming was still afraid of dancing with swords and swords, he was no longer a fledgling rookie after all, he gritted his teeth and persevered along the way, and he was always secretly glad that he had pressed Li Xin's treasure right. Every victory in this fight has its own half.
Gao Shiming had already planned it, and when the siege of Daizhou was resolved, he would once again secretly play the emperor and ask for credit for Li Xin, of course, he naturally couldn't run steadily. But General Gao couldn't have imagined that Zhu Youzhen, the great emperor in the Forbidden City, looked at his handwritten secret letter with a frown, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Two letters, one for merit, but the descriptions are very different, one is the eunuch he trusts, and the other is the minister he relies on, who is true and who is lying?
Zhu Youzhen suddenly thought of Liu Yuliang's transfer of flowers and trees to Li Xin's killing of Yue Tuo's merits, which made him more inclined to Gao Shiming's narrative in his heart, but Yang Sichang was also a highly respected minister, how could he bully the king in such matters? It's simply unthinkable.
However, the decree of the reward for merit drawn up by him himself has already been issued by the cabinet, that is, the rice has been cooked, and the truth of the matter is powerless to change no matter what, even the emperor who is down-to-earth and honest cannot be an exception.
Zhu Youzhen thought about it for a while, he had a headache, he found that no matter what, this matter was not clear, so it was better to ignore it, put it on hold first, and wait for the chaos in Shanxi to be decided in the future, and then it was not too late to make a judgment. But he didn't stop there, but sent Gao Shiming's secret music to Yang Sichang in an urgent manner of six hundred miles.
Yang Sichang received the secret music from the emperor, and read it more than 20 times, and every time he saw it, he was shocked, only to feel that the mangs were stabbed in his back, and his cotton robe was soaked in cold sweat. What did the emperor mean by sending Gao Shiming's recital to him? Do you believe in yourself or doubt yourself? In the chaos, he forgot to ask Zhu Mei to confirm the matter, and only after calming down did he order someone to invite Zhu Zongbing.
When Zhu Mei saw Yang Sichang's Gao Shiming secret performance handed over to him, he immediately knelt on the ground and told the cause and effect of this matter.
Yang Sichang heard that he had the heart to kick Zhu Mei to death, but the wood was already in the boat, could kicking him to death solve the problem? In desperation, she had no choice but to scold Zhu Mei for a bloody end, and Zhu Mei did not refute, but only endured it silently. Indeed, he told the truth at first, but he was unconscious that night, and when he woke up the next day, he learned that Yang Sichang had reported the matter to Jingshi, although he was frightened, he still had a fluke mentality after all. It wasn't until the emperor promoted him to the chief soldier of Baoding that he realized that this matter was a bit of a big deal, in case it was really like being shaken out that day, but it was a big crime to bully the king!
Sure enough, what should come is always coming, he just didn't expect it to come so quickly, so fast that he didn't have time to go to Baoding as the chief soldier and lead the troops to battle!
After the initial shock, Yang Sichang had regained his composure, and told Zhu Mei a word.
"Talk less, go down!"
Zhu Mei bowed and retreated, he sensed the chill in Yang Sichang's words, and couldn't help but shudder.
Yang Sichang regretted his reckless behavior too late, but he could only make mistakes and confess to the emperor that he was negligent? Then his efforts over the years will be lost, and all his achievements will be wasted. If you don't confess, you have to take precautions, how can you withstand this fatal mistake.
Just when Yang Sichang was entangled in his heart, the spies sent to Shanxi came back and brought the latest news. A series of victories were really Li Xin's doing, not only annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, but even destroying Xinzhou, the gateway town in the north of Taiyuan. The next news made him excited, this guy actually took the Three Guards to Lanxian County to meet the King of Jin who didn't know whether it was true or false when the war was at its most tense.
If it's fake, it's better to say, if it's true, Li Xin has such a relationship with King Jin, and with the suspicious and repeated character of today's emperor, he is already doomed to lose the emperor's trust forever.
Thinking of this joint, Yang Sichang smiled with relief, thinking that he had walked into a dead end, but the treatment was to talk about the dark flowers and the desperate life. Why don't you make any effort to completely push this son to the side of King Jin.
So he immediately ordered that Zhu Mei, the chief soldier of Baoding, immediately go to his post and lead his troops to defend Bauhinia Pass. Zuo Liangyu also had to stand still, lead his troops to guard the front line of Jiyuan and Xiuwu, and firmly lock up the thieves in Shanxi, while Li Xin was left to fend for himself, and a few thousand soldiers would have a day of tossing sooner or later. At the same time, Xiong Wencan was informed, and the generals of the towns of Sichuan and Shaanxi were passed on, and they were divided into key points, step by step, and the thieves were trapped and annihilated.
That is, Yang Sichang has been planning the "four positives", "six corners", and "ten-sided net" encirclement and suppression strategy.
Only Zuo Liangyu disdained Yang Sichang's order after reading it, and accused Yang Sichang of being very selfish with his deputy general Luo Dai, greedy for merit on the one hand, and killing people with a knife on the other!
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"
Luo Dai was taken aback, how could he say that he borrowed a knife to kill people? Yang Xiangmeng is valued by the emperor today, how can he do such a trivial thing? He didn't believe it.
"Isn't Brother Luo naïve? Yang Sichang was ordered to suppress the thieves, and Li Xin's tossing in Shanxi was a good time for his army to take advantage of the situation. ”
Zuo Liangyu handed Yang Sichang's order to Luo Dai, "Look for yourself!" ”
"This, this, the last general is still planning to build yì Zuo Shuai to send troops, Li Xin will be tired of tossing the two armies of thieves, let's just take this opportunity to eliminate the Tianxing who has been standing still, and then our army can drive directly to Taiyuan!"
Zuo Liangyu struck with both palms, got up and came to Luo Dai, "Brother Luo's words are also what I want!" ”
"Then, how does Yang Xiang's order ......?"
Zuo Liangyu snatched the document with his hand, and tore it to pieces in a few clicks, "Let him roll the ball, as long as the enemy is destroyed and the city is restored, he can still have something to say!" ”
Soon, the news of Zuo Liangyu's dispatch to Pingyang Mansion reached Zhending, Yang Sichang was furious, Zuo Liangyu was just a mere general soldier, and Xiong Wencan, who didn't listen to the prime minister's military affairs, didn't pay attention to him, a cabinet scholar, and even sang the opposite tune, which was very hateful!
He Renlong, who had been kept by Yang Sichang's side, was also indignant, and directly reprimanded Zuo Liangyu for being a supreme official, and at the same time said that he would like to be the only Yang Xiangma! Yang Sichang has a scale in his heart, although this He Renlong is a little weaker, but he is better than obedient, if he chooses between obedient and disobedient, he would rather choose the one who is almost capable but obedient, rather than choose the capable but unruly person, such as Li Xin, and such as this Zuo Liangyu.
"What if the general soldier of Wakaga takes his place?"
Yang Sichang suddenly said an inexplicable sentence, which made He Renlong stunned, but then he said that he naturally strictly implemented Yang Xiang's strategy of "opening the net on all sides". Don't look at He Renlong, who is now holding the rank of general soldier, but he has no actual position, no fixed subordinate soldiers, and can only temporarily listen to the transfer under Yang Sichang's account. Zuo Liangyu's general army in Henan, if he can replace it, wouldn't he wake up laughing in a dream!
"Do a good job, and you will replace it!"
Yang Sichang's statement is equivalent to directly suing Sù He Renlong, sooner or later, he will let him replace Zuo Liangyu, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and thanked Yang Sichang again and again for his kindness. Yang Sichang was very satisfied with He Renlong's attitude and helped him up.
……
Daizhou City was already in sight, and a broken scarlet battle flag was still floating at the head of the city, and Li Xin's hanging heart was immediately put down. It is hard to imagine how the city of Daizhou, which was hit hard by the plague, withstood the siege of the Tartars for more than ten days.
Due to the division of troops, there were only more than 20,000 people under the command of the Black God at this time, and in addition to the casualties, it would not exceed 20,000.
Looking at the surging southward waters of the Hutuo River, Li Xin decided to rely on the big river this time, fight against the water, and use the Hutuo River to cover the back road. The next question was how to lure the enemy to attack, but Li Xin soon found out that the Black God had solved this problem for him. The thieves had already rushed over like a tide, densely packed and black.
The reflection of the Black Demon God is rare and rapid among the thieves, Li Xin secretly said that it was not good, and it came too quickly, I am afraid that it will not be able to change the formation!
"Gunner, gunner, get ready to fire the cannon and bomb those bitch-bitched ......"
In every big war, Heisenberg must be the first active officer! The Three Guards immediately changed from a column to a horizontal formation, and prepared to form a double-line Gustav phalanx.
