Chapter 456: Expedition
Three more 10,000 words for a monthly pass!!
The days of waiting are long, the days of waiting for war can not be said, the war itself is naturally cruel, if it is not necessary, I am afraid that except for a very small number of people, no one will really like to fight, after all, once it really starts, many things that were originally conventionalized will become a mess, clueless, and as ordinary people, a stable life is what they have been pursuing, so this kind of thing is only a hobby of a very small number of people, and the rest of the people regard him as a means and channel at most, Wouldn't really like that feeling.
Xuzhou soldiers are like this, on the one hand, they don't like to fight, since Song Qing has been talking about the preciousness of peace, but on the other hand, they are also looking forward to war, because war can make military merits and make their lives better, Song Qing is also emphasizing that if there is no way, then it is necessary to use force to promote peace, and kill all those who destroy peace, and naturally the Haiyan River will be clear.
It can be seen that Song Qing, the general of Xuzhou, is a bastard to a certain extent, and he has made all the words inside and outside, and they are all very reasonable......
Only a month later, something more reasonable appeared, Huang Taiji really led his troops in, and this time he did not attack the capital, but began to attack Xuanfu Datong, this ability to be almost an unpredictable prophet has accumulated stronger popularity for Song Qing, because his propaganda is in place, although it is not explicitly said that General Song guessed all this, but this is what he said, and it has been sublimated to a great extent, from speculation to Song Qing's calculation after countless days and nights, Through various indications, this invasion of Huang Taiji was determined.
If it's just a guess, then Song Qing is a demigod, but if it's a judgment, then he is an outstanding military strategist, judging by Song Qing's identity today. Of course he has to accept the latter setting, and he only wants to accept that setting, after all, he is not a charlatan who gains the emperor's trust by pretending to be a god, but a real general, and the benefits of this setting of an outstanding military strategist are self-evident to him.
Subsequently, the outstanding military strategist Song Qing began to order the various departments to speed up the packing of things, and then gave the soldiers an emergency holiday, so that they could return home to meet their families, after all, this time it was not to fight the Liukou, but to go to Xuanda to fight with Houjin. Not only ordinary soldiers, but even those officers could die in any battle, so it is necessary to say hello and meet at this time.
At the same time, he also needs to rearrange the personnel who participated in the battle and those who stayed behind, so as to ensure that there are enough manpower available on both sides, so that they will not always be careless as before, and at the end of the battle will cause a lot of trouble, dragging their tired bodies after the battle. And to solve these things.
Although Song Qing is almost a man of his word in Xuzhou today, he should keep his eyes on the same places, such as the current Zhizhou Ma Hui, because he is afraid that someone in the court will talk too much. said that he was too domineering in the place, so Song Qing left this guy and his wonderful son, and did not use his connections to coax him away. But the relationship between the two sides has never been good, even during the New Year's holidays and the like, there is no sign of moving and gift-giving, both sides are acting as if the other does not exist. Even with Xuzhou Wei and Xuzhou Zuowei, they don't have a good relationship with the state government.
When Song Qing was there, he was naturally not afraid of what the other party was doing, but if he went on the expedition, judging from the abilities of Song Hu and Wang Chang, if Ma Hui really dared to do something, he might not be able to do anything, after all, in addition to his good martial arts, he was still from a serious imperial examination, and he was definitely not as good as Song Hu's big bosses, and they were not like Song Qing, as long as they dared to provoke me to fight first, for these old soldiers, obeying the laws and disciplines of the imperial court is almost a matter of course, so it is easy to suffer in this, It was taken advantage of by Ma Hui.
Therefore, the necessary manpower is to stay, for example, Zhou Zhi'an, a scholar, including Zhao Manxiong's money bag, all need to stay in Xuzhou, in fact, Song Qing now very much wants to search for some serious and useful scribes, that is, commonly known as military advisors, even if it is a master, but there is no result in looking for it, at present, I can only use Zhou Zhi'an, a white-faced scholar, as a donkey, but fortunately, Zhou Shusheng is now familiar with the business, although there is no particularly brilliant move, but it is certainly not a problem to be familiar with the way to do things, The only thing lacking is the ability to change.
This is the literati aspect, and the first choice for the martial arts is Zhou Ling, the former Jingying martial arts hall brought back by Song Qing from the capital, and now he is also a big man in the entire Xuzhou department, although he is not as brave and invincible as Xue Wu and Luo Xiaobei and others, nor is he as old and spicy as Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, but he also has his own advantages, and they are advantages that others cannot replace at all, and he has a strong ability to take care of the home.
If you want to quote a famous saying to describe it, it is the sentence that Zhuge Liang said in the teacher's table' The general is favored, the temperament is gentle, and the military is Xiaochang', Zhou Ling is the type of character who is favored, you expect him to charge into battle, siege the city, he is also an ordinary officer level, there will definitely be nothing brilliant, many times often delay the entire army, counting on others to come over to help wipe the buttocks.
But the same person, you put him in the rear to watch the house, his ability has changed almost instantly, all kinds of affairs that make the military leaders have headaches in their brains and numb scalps, and they can be easily solved in his hands, he is simply the best talent of the big housekeeper, the general's version of Zhao Manxiong, in fact, this person was recommended to Song Qing by Zhao Manxiong, originally Song Qing just felt that Zhou Ling was not too brave in the war, so he subconsciously let him stay in Xuzhou to look after the family, but Zhao Manxiong has been partnering with this man for a long time, and he feels that he is really a talent, I told Song Qing.
Song Qing at this time is not a soldier, but a variety of talents who can be officials, after hearing about it, he immediately called Zhou Ling, and all kinds of questions came out again, and found that this person is indeed a talent in terms of keeping the success, and simply used it as a big housekeeper, partnering with Zhao Manxiong and Ding Kui, and now it seems that the effect is very good, at least in terms of housekeeping, no one can compare to Zhou Ling, even Song Qing himself.
As for the candidates to go to the battle, it is relatively easy, the commander of the whole army, Song Qing, has 12,000 soldiers and horses, and his deputy is Hu Jie, with 3,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are good men of Pizhou Wei, including the 300 seed soldiers who are determined to take revenge. In addition, Song Qing was followed by Ding Kui, who led the Wenxuan team, Xue Wu, who led the sword and shield soldiers and the fire gun team, Wang Jian, who led the cavalry team, Luo Xiaobei, who led the pikemen, Hu Erha who led the sentinels, Li Sanlang and Li Yuncong, who turned over the mountain harrier, and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming of the beggar army, and the rest of Chen Ya, Li Bei, Sun Jin, Lin Yong, Ma Qiang and other generals at all levels.
In particular, the propaganda team went into battle, this is a major move, although the previous time to fight the Liukou, the propaganda team has already gone up, but after the fight against the gold and the Liukou are completely two concepts, in addition to the war is more difficult, all kinds of propaganda methods have to change greatly, or to return to the original intention of Song Qing when he first set up this institution, all kinds of art forms and propaganda slogans in the propaganda team must be changed, and the post-gold pigtailed soldiers are listed as the biggest enemy, and they must continue to demonize each other, what the other party does is wrong, and throwing gold at them is to buy people's hearts, throwing silver is ill-intentioned.
In a word, even if the other party commits suicide in battle, it must be ashamed of himself under the righteous aura of General Song, and he feels that he is purely superfluous in the world, so he draws his sword and kills himself.
In this regard, Song Qing has learned the Donglin Party's speaking mode, in fact, this model is very simple, that is, first seize the position of righteousness, and then start to block at both ends, who is good and who is bad, I have the final say, and the final interpretation right also belongs to me, as long as you dare to question me, you are a heinous person, although this trick is very boring to Song Qing, but when it is used to deal with the enemy, he still appreciates it very much, and he will definitely not use it without guarding the sword.
A few days later, the order came down, Song Qing, the chief soldier of Xuzhou, and Hu Jie, the commander of Pizhou Wei, led the troops and horses to gallop to aid Datong, I don't know if Emperor Chongzhen is particularly fond of Datong, Song Qing can not return to the local soldiers and horses after arriving in Datong, and choose when to join the battlefield, which battlefield to join, this treatment is definitely very high, although Lu Xiangsheng has not yet taken office as the governor of Xuanda, but the Xuanfu and Datong also have a general army, Song Qing, the guest army general, does not listen to other people's orders after the past, and can decide the time and place of the attack by himself, which is definitely the top treatment.
For this reason, Song Qing also announced this matter in public, so that the whole army knew how much he was loved by the emperor, and also paved the way for him to finally explain who is a good person and who is a bastard.
After three days of rectification, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou set off, this time it is different from before, because the war has been commonplace over the years, and this time it is a very hated fight, and the people of Pizhou in Xuzhou have a grudge against the Jiannu, so no one is crying, even if the family comes to see each other, they are all encouraging their children to kill the enemy and serve the country, and make meritorious contributions, etc., compared to the tragedy of the past, this time it is a little more calm, Song Qing saw it in his eyes, and he was somewhat emotional, in this idea now, I am afraid that only by developing similar habits can we work together to tide over the difficulties and fight back the catastrophe more than ten years later.
