Chapter 1219: Gold Medal
There are not many flashes in the pursuit battle, it is just a hot pursuit, either catching up with the other party or forcing the other party to collapse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 So after Wang Xian made up his mind, he ordered Xu Huaiqing to lead 10,000 light cavalry to cross the Tabu River and pursue Abu Zhian's army.
He led the Chinese army to follow, and at about dawn, he also appeared at the place where the Tatar army had camped last night.
At this time, Xu Huaiqing had already sent someone to report to him the situation an hour ago, Wang Xian and Liu Sheng were riding on horses, looking at the messy camp, feeling a little incredible. Liu Sheng was amazed: "It is said that Abu Zhi'an is a reckless man, and he can't think of the ability to run away from the wind is also very good." ”
Tied to a horse and marching with the army, Nirvana sneered and said, "That fool alone wants to escape the pursuit of the king? It must have joined up with the old fox! ”
"Oh?" Liu Sheng was slightly surprised, although there was no basis for what he said, he had a gut feeling that it should be the truth. "In that case, it's a bit tricky." Deserters with Arutai belts, and deserters without Arutai belts are definitely two different concepts.
"Anyway, just chase it." Wang Xian couldn't talk about how frustrated he was, he was ready for a hard pursuit. The Tatars are as cunning as foxes, and such a great victory on the Tarbes cannot be repeated again and again. "No matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the good hunters, keep chasing them, and you will definitely be able to catch them!"
In the next few days, the Tatars ran wildly, and the Ming army pursued them relentlessly, but they could not catch the main force of the Tatars.
There are too many tricks for Arutai to escape, and he can hide the traces of the army, and use the bait troops to create a false impression and lure the Ming army astray. He was also able to take advantage of the change of route to take the Ming army around in circles, leading them into the swampy depths of the grassland, and then suddenly throwing off the Ming army and fleeing.
But Wang Xian and Mo Wen are not vegetarians, and after being played by Arutai a few times, they gradually found their way, and they ordered Xu Huaiqing to spare no effort to entangle with the Tatars...... In this long process of escape and pursuit, it is a matter of science to allocate the physical strength of men and horses. Regardless of which side you are, you must arrange your daily marching and rest time reasonably to ensure that you can continue to march at high intensity in the coming day. Whoever dares to spare his physical strength to be happy for a while will be punished tenfold.
Wang Xian did the opposite, allowing Xu Huaiqing's vanguard army to pursue desperately, and suddenly forced the Tatars to be exhausted, and they were so tired that they almost vomited blood. Arutai had to create an illusion again, wanting to lure the Ming army to deviate, Xu Huaiqing really hit the plan, and the forward army was led by thousands of Tatars to go farther and farther.
Seeing that the Ming army was deceived, Arutai could finally stop the tired army and breathe a sigh of relief, but in the middle of the night, the main force of the Ming army, which had been honestly following the front army, suddenly killed in front of Arutai! Arutai suddenly realized that Wang Xian deliberately let himself and his vanguard army be entangled, and his mind was full of how to get rid of Xu Huaiqing's tarsal maggot, so he would naturally ignore the truly deadly main force of the Ming army.
Although Arutai once again took most of the army with his superhuman insight, four or five thousand Tatars were left behind by the Ming army forever......
Although this battle did not achieve much brilliant results, it broke the myth of Arutai's 'uncatchable', and made the soldiers of the Ming army, who had been full of fire for more than ten days, breathe a sigh of relief. I finally have confidence in whether I can catch up with Arutai.
Just as Wang Xian was about to order the soldiers to continue the pursuit, an uninvited guest caught up.
"Marshal, the court is sent by an angel to deliver the decree." A scout officer galloped in.
Wang Xian and Liu Sheng glanced at each other and were very surprised. First, the army now penetrated deep into the steppe, almost cut off from the interior, but the imperial court's envoys were able to find them. Second, even if you want to make contact, you only need a messenger to deliver the will, and there is no need to send a messenger at all.
"It's not good." Liu Sheng grinned, always feeling a little gloating.
"Indeed, the good do not come." Wang Xian rarely did not refute Liu Sheng, and waved his hand to bring Na Qincha over.
After a while, a dusty eunuch was helped to Wang Xian. This guy has obviously suffered a lot along the way, and the big red python robe representing the senior eunuch has turned yellow-green, and his face is even more weathered, and he can't see his original appearance clearly. What's even worse is that his two legs, because of riding a horse for days, the inner skin and flesh are worn out, and they can't recuperate, and they have already turned purulent and flowed yellow water......
"Zhou An, the deputy head of the official supervision in our family, meet my grandfather and Hou Ye." The eunuch endured the pain and saluted Wang Xian and Liu Sheng.
Listening to the other party's self-report, Wang Xian and Liu Sheng knew that the other party was Zhou An, the top three eunuchs in the palace, Liu Sheng smiled and said: "I said Lao Zhou, how did you make this ghost." ”
Wang Xian said lightly: "Excuse me." My father-in-law has worked hard all the way, I don't know what the emperor's will is? ”
Zhou An laboriously took out a bamboo tube from his back, tore open the fire paint on the seal, poured out a roll of yellow silk and put it in his hand, and said to Wang Xian and others: "Please take the decree!" ”
Liu Sheng gestured to Wang Xian with his eyes, and almost shouted out 'stand and receive the order'. Wang Xian ignored him, knelt down and accepted the order: "Minister Wang Xian accepts the order, respectfully ask for Sheng'an." ”
"St. Bow." Zhou An responded for the emperor, and then read in a long voice: "Lord's edict, Lan Qing played, I am glad to hear that the king has broken the Tartars on the bank of the Tabu River, and Qing wants to take advantage of the time to destroy the Qukui." Seeing the spirit of loyalty and righteousness, he is through the gods, but the enemy is prosperous, and only Qing is Lai. However, the treacherous schemes of the captive chieftain Arutai are still hidden, and the troops and iron horsemen are especially tens of thousands. The art of war is cloudy, and the poor are not chasing. The lonely army goes deep into the grassland, it is really a taboo for soldiers, Wangqing must not be greedy for merit, it is advisable to start a class as soon as possible, and receive rewards for meritorious service, so as to relieve the suffering of the officials and the people. Send this pro-note, I want to understand. Looking forward to the day of the edict, that is, to raise troops and return to the court, remember, remember, admire this. ”
Zhou An's voice was subdued among the eunuchs, and he read the content of the edict slowly and unhurriedly, which was actually very good. However, Liu Sheng and the others were all angry, and it seemed that they might not be able to help it at any time, and tear the holy decree and Zhou An to pieces......
Wang Xian's face gradually sank, and the anger in his chest also rose, he really didn't expect that the capital was actually afraid of his own Dao to this extent, and he would rather give up this God-given opportunity to eliminate Arutai and return peace to the north for decades, and also call his own class teacher to return to the court!
Could it be that all of my previous compromises and concessions have been retreated to the dogs?! Could it be that the emperor's promise not to interfere in the war was all eaten by the dogs?! He really wanted to cut open the chests of those people to see how their hearts and eyes looked?!
Unconsciously after reading the edict, Wang Xian was still immersed in anger and couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't follow the routine at all.
This will be embarrassing next week...... Looking around at the appearance of Liu Sheng and the others who were about to eat people one by one, especially Wang Xian's iron-blue face, he was so frightened that he trembled and broke out in a cold sweat, where is there still a little prestige of passing on the edict? He was helped to stand there, hesitated for a while, and had to bite the bullet and said timidly: "Grandpa, please accept the order." ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Xian frowned, turned a deaf ear, and still refused to accept the order.
Zhou Anxin secretly complained, he was given a death order, and he must send his will to Wang Xian. Seeing that Wang Xian refused to accept the order, he had no choice but to step forward and hand the will to Wang Xian. If you refuse to take it, I'll hand it to you......
Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, Liu Sheng rushed forward angrily, snatched the holy decree from Zhou An's hand, held it in his hand like waste paper, stared at Zhou An with round eyes, and asked angrily: "Whose idea is this, our army is about to win, and at this time, the class teacher will not give up all his previous achievements." If the old fox of Arutai is allowed to escape back, how can the northern border of the Ming Dynasty be peaceful?! ”
Zhou An was unaware of being robbed of the holy decree, and he became more and more helpless, but he still had to say what he had to say, so he could only meet the gaze of An Yuanhou who wanted to eat people, and said with a crying voice: "The old slave is just a talker. Now that the Hou Ye has received the order for the grandfather, please also ask the grandfather and the Hou Ye to prepare and return to the court with our family! ”
"Phew! I'll take a! "Liu Sheng threw the yellow silk to the ground, stepped on it a few times, and then pulled out the sword, and was about to kill Zhou An!" Lao Tzu killed you, a eunuch, and then let's see how you can return to the dynasty with Lao Tzu's class! ”
Zhou An was so frightened that he sat on the ground, screamed: "Kill Qincha, kill Qincha is a rebellion, Hou Ye, do you want to be punished by the Nine Clans?!" "Even though this guy is so frightened that he can't forget his identity. It can be seen that Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi sent this person here, but they also have a bit of knowledge.
"Lao Tzu will kill him!" Liu Sheng laughed evilly, and slashed at Zhou An's head with a sword.
"Stop!" Wang Xian finally spoke up, and as soon as he spoke, the Xinyan monk who was guarding the side picked up his Zen staff and knocked away the sword that Liu Sheng had already cut at Zhou An's neck.
"Humph!" Liu Sheng was annoyed and didn't look away. This guy is always trying to find a way to make Wang Xian make up his mind, and he is about to go crazy.
Zhou An collapsed on the ground like mud, and everyone suddenly asked about a commotion, it turned out that this guy was scared and peed his pants.
Wang Xian propped his legs, slowly stood up, patted the blades of grass and soil on his knees, and didn't look at Zhou Andao: "Mr. Zhou came from afar, and he suffered a lot along the way, so please go down and rest." As for the military's own arrangements, there is no need for the general manager to bother. ”
After Wang Xian finished speaking, there were immediately guards who set up Zhou An and went out, as for the entourage guards brought by Zhou An, they had long been frightened and shrunk into a ball, which one dared to rescue his father-in-law.
That's it, Zhou An wanted to go back and say something more, but he saw the soldiers around him glaring at him with angry eyes, clutching the hilt of their swords one by one, eager to chop themselves to pieces. (To be continued.) )
