Chapter 418: Angry Slash High Dive

Chen Xie opened the map, pointed on the map, and told the two about the changes in the battle situation. Yang Tinglin looked at it for a while, and then said in surprise: "Sihua, where did you come from so soldiers?" Chen Xie smiled bitterly: "I knew Boxiang was going to ask that." I'm not afraid to tell you to speak, the source of soldiers registered in the Shandong battalion is 40,000 soldiers, the Dengzhou battalion is registered with 30,000, the Dongjiang battalion is registered with 20,000, and the Weisuo army is registered with 120,000. These soldiers used to be soldiers on the books, but in fact less than 30%. And now? Chen just turned the soldiers on these accounts into the actual number, and this has not been made up yet, and there are still tens of thousands of people missing. ”

With that, I understood both of these and felt a toothache at the same time. Here in Shandong, the household department does not allocate a penny of silver, and in this way, Chen Xie also put out more than 100,000 horses. With so many soldiers, so many officials, and taxes to pay, how do you feed them?

Thinking about it again, some people earn money to live a luxurious life for themselves, but Chen Xie earns money but is supporting the army, supporting the country's officials, and has to pay taxes. By comparison, the difference is too great. The only thing that can be doubted is Chen Xie's loyalty to the monarch Sheji. On this issue, there is no way to doubt that there are so many troops in the Ming Dynasty, and the only one who can rush to the battlefield is the Dengzhou battalion?

"Sihua, the military order, everyone knows. It's really worrying, you shouldn't come here, you should go to Liaodong. Lu Xiangsheng said a word, and he said it sincerely. Chen Xie smiled when he heard this: "Jiannu is not as strong as you think, and if you can't beat Jiannu, it's not that the opponent is strong, but that our army is bad enough." For me, it doesn't matter if it's a merit or not. I just want the aggressor to come and go. ”

Ji Ze, the battalion of Gao Qiqian, Xuanda and Guangning 50,000 troops are stationed here, Gao Qiqian lifted Lu Xiang in front, one is ruthless, the other is afraid of the enemy. It's a bit of both. The matter of pit Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Qiqian has no burden in his heart at all, someone always has to take the blame for this matter, if you don't take the blame, you have to fight. Pull everyone into the water together. Who are you pitting if you don't pit you?

Gao Qiqian, who was holding a copy of "The Art of War" in his hand, still had some military exploits in the internal battle. I have read books in the inner study hall, and Gao Qiqian is not a white ding. Learning, not even bad. These things of the Ming Dynasty. It's not that he doesn't know. Even if he knew, he still made such a choice. The reason is very simple, he commands and chooses to cooperate with the strong. The current powerhouse is Yang Sichang.

The messenger who hurried in brought a message that alarmed Gao Qiqian. Chen Xie arrived at Julu. What to do? Chen Xie is not Lu Xiangsheng, he can be harmed casually. Governor Chen was deeply trusted by the emperor and had a good relationship with Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, and the newly promoted governor of Dongchang was Chen Xie's sworn friend. To harm Chen Xie, there are too many people who have offended. Even Wang Dehua is estimated to have a grudge against Gao Qiqian.

"How did you get this guy?" Gao Qiqian was entangled, and ordered the generals to be called to a meeting, mentioning this matter, the eyes of the Guan Ning generals present were green, and Wu Sangui was the first to jump out and say: "What are you waiting for?" Sending troops to the giant deer. With Chen Sihua here, it is the exploits of Bai Pickup. Do you think so? ”

Don't say it, these words aroused the approval of a group of Guan Ning soldiers, in front of other troops, Guan Ningjun felt that he was powerful, in front of the Dengzhou camp, that obedient. Zu Kuan and Zu Dale both nodded and said, "That's it." ”

Gao Qiqian saw that these people were in this tone, and his heart was also moved. Immediately nodded and said, "Then pack up and go to Julu." "Gao Qi's calculation in his heart is very good, follow Chen Xie's actions, and he will not lose the battle. It's much better than being scared with 50,000 Guan Ning troops. And Chen Xie is not like other civil officials, he looks down on eunuchs, and he has a good relationship with the big eunuchs.

It only took an hour for Chen Xie to receive the news, and immediately summoned Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin to discuss: "Gao Qi has gone out and is coming to the giant deer." Look at the meaning, it is looking for us and coming. ”

Yang Tinglin crooked his mouth and said: "He is afraid of death, so he is looking for a backer." Lu Xiangsheng smiled with a rare smile: "That's fine, the more soldiers, the greater the certainty of this battle." There is a lot of food and grass. ”

Chen Xie thought for a while and said: "I'm a little worried, I don't receive reports at night, the Qing army has been active in Shunde recently. With the marching speed of the Guanning army, it carried a large amount of baggage and grain and grass, and it would take at least a day to walk. In case I met the Qing army on the road, I was afraid that I would not dare to fight, so I would turn around and run away. ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin showed expressions of disbelief, and Yang Tinglin said, "This is not enough, right?" After all, it is a prison army, and it also has 50,000 heavy troops in Guanning, and has the strength to fight. ”

Chen Xie shook his head: "I'm still not at ease, forget it, I'll take the cavalry and pick it up." Chen Xie said this, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin have no opinion, it is a safe move to pick it up. They didn't know that Chen Xie was going to go for the silver, grain and grass carried by the Guan Ning army.

Chen Xie took ten battalions of cavalry on the road, and as soon as he left the barracks, he received the news that the night was not closed, and the Qing army appeared in the area of Ren County. Chen Xie immediately said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Immediately reorganize the army, let He Xian take the rest of the cavalry to go first, and I will immediately go south to rescue." ”

Chen Xie took 5,000 cavalry to take the first step, and He Xian was a little behind, and also chased Chen Xie south. Half an hour later, Lu Xiangsheng led the infantry of the Shandong battalion south, leaving Yang Tinglin and Yang Guozhu behind with baggage.

In the afternoon, when approaching Jiazhuang, he suddenly came back like crazy for a night, bringing a bad news and found that the Qing army was ten miles away. Gao Qiqian was directly stunned, wasn't the Qing army in Shanxi? How do you kill a carbine? Aren't you going back to Lu Xiangsheng? What are you doing with me?

The six gods have no master, and subconsciously called the guards: "Prepare the horse." We have to go first. "Originally, there was a carriage to sit on, but now that I am going to ride a horse, Gao Qiqian is no longer possessed, and I want to leave here.

Wu Sangui stepped forward and said, "Prison army, why don't I take the cavalry and send you first?" Gao Qiqian said continuously: "Okay, okay, so be it." Others stayed to prepare for war, ready to deal with the Qing army. "Wu Sangui has 5,000 Guanning cavalry under his command, which is the strongest force, and he actually wants to escort Gao Qiqian to go first. The faces of the others were not good-looking, and before the fight started, the prison army ran away first. The entire Guanning army has no morale at all.

Chen Xie hurried south, crossed the Artemisia Bridge, and saw Wu Sangui and his subordinates coming north. Chen Xie looked at the back, there were only cavalry and no other troops, and he immediately understood the reason in his heart. immediately slapped his horse forward and said loudly: "Give me all back!" Just as Wu Sangui escorted Gao Qi and dived up, Lao Yuan was shouting: "Lord Chen, Lord Chen." We're here. ”

Chen Xie stepped forward with a dark face, stared at Gao Qiqian for a while, and then glanced at Wu Sangui with disdain, and said angrily: "Is this how you led the troops to fight?" Didn't even collect it overnight? Wu Sangui's face was flushed when he was scolded, and he looked at Gao Qiqian to find out if he didn't defend himself. Gao Qi stepped forward and said, "It's what our family meant, isn't it convenient to hurry?" ”

Chen Xie looked at Gao Qiqian again, as if he was looking at a dead man, and sneered: "Gao Jian Jun, Gao Gonggong." If you abandon the troops and flee north in a hurry, are you not afraid that the Qing army will attack, and the army's morale will be weakened and it will collapse at the first touch? ”

Gao Qi was asked in his heart, but he was not afraid of Chen Xie, he stared at himself to support his aura, and the male duck said sharply: "Our family is bringing troops to reinforce Julu, for fear of delaying the big event, take General Wu's cavalry first." Moreover, you are the governor of Shandong, and you are still in charge of ....... ”

At this time, the two of them were no more than five paces away, and they were both on horseback. Chen Xie slightly pinched the horse's belly, and at the same time as the war horse rushed forward, the war knife on his waist went out of his body, the knife fell in his hand, and the head of the dive flew up. The blood arrow flew out with a pop, splashing Chen Xie's body. The flying head also said the last two words: "Our family?" ”

With a bang, the head of the dive fell to the ground, Wu Sangui immediately got off the horse, knelt on the ground, and said: "Lord Chen, the humble position is just to set off with the senior supervisor, please look at the face of the father of the family, bypass the next life." "Wu Sangui is really scared, Chen Xie is too vicious, Gao Qiqian is a prison army, who has the right to kill him except the emperor? Chen Xie killed him, and he killed him when he said he would kill him. The guards around Gao Qiqian were all stupid, and no one dared to say a word.

Chen Xie coldly swept around and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Turn around and head south to reinforce the rear army. ”

Wu Sangui, who was not possessed by his soul, got up and got on his horse, and took his family to beckon the troops to go back. This will not be the king of Pingxi, and he will be a better general. Facing a general like Chen Xie, who cuts off people's heads at every turn, he almost didn't scare him. More than 100 people on the ground knelt there and didn't dare to move, these people were all high-diving entourages, and several of them were timid, and they had already poured out their and urine. Kneeling on the ground and shivering, he lay on the ground with his head bowed, so frightened that he didn't even dare to say anything to beg for mercy. For fear that if something is wrong, Chen Xie will poison him.

"Go back to Jingshi and go to Baoxin, just say that this governor beheaded Gao Qiqian, the dog thief who escaped from the battle." Chen Xie's disdain to kill these people is not a discovery of conscience, it was Zhu Youzhen who tested Chen Xie before, but this time Chen Xie decided to do the opposite. In short, after this battle, Chen Xie did not plan to leave and enter Beijing again. Even if he entered Beijing, he would take the army with him.

In any case, Chen Xie did too much this time. Gao Qiqian is a slave of the Son of Heaven, and no one can kill him except the emperor. By doing this, Chen Xie is breaking the rules. He did what others didn't dare to do, and his original intention was to constantly break unreasonable rules. As for Zhu Youzhen's reaction, Chen Xie doesn't care anymore.

"What? Chen Sihua cut the high dive? Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin's eyes darkened, this thing is too bold, right? Gao Qiqian is an inner prison, and it won't be your turn to kill this person. Brother, it's too big to play this time. (To be continued......)
