144 The north wind rises outside the city (2)
"Your Highness, now that many officers at the level of the department and bureau have heard you talk about the wars of the past generations, we have long regarded Your Highness as a mentor who teaches and solves doubts. His Royal Highness's appointment to lecture on the sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall is really famous...... It's just that I'm afraid of insulting His Highness's name. Xiao Mo explained.
Zhu Cihong went through it twice in his heart, and said: "Let's take Sun Chuanting as the sub-sacrifice, the sacrificial wine seat will be vacant first, and the decision will be made after the saint is revealed in the future." ”
Xiao Mo didn't expect the "emperor" factor at all, although he was still the emperor's royal bodyguard a few months ago.
He couldn't help but feel guilty secretly, for decades, "loyalty to the monarch and serving the country" has been repeatedly talked about, but whether he really has this loyalty is not inevitable. But now he found that even if he couldn't be loyal to the current saint, he was not bad at being loyal to the next saint.
"In addition, I have almost recuperated these days, and the seriously injured have been transported back one after another." Zhu Cihong rubbed his hands: "Seeing that there are still two months to go before the Chinese New Year, we can't spend time here with Li Chuang, we have to beat him up, and then go home." ”
"Beat him up?" Xiao Mo admired the prince's whimsical combat ideas more and more: "Aren't we going to delay the army?" ”
"How could Li Chuang fall into such a strategy when he was old enough to fight in the battle array?" Zhu Cihong chuckled: "He's just a rat trap." If Liu Bang, Taizu and other heroes were replaced, they would have marched in and fought a long time ago. After all, he still can't avoid the kindness of a woman. ”
- Yu Daming is a good thing.
Xiao Mo said secretly in his heart.
"So you have to beat him, don't let him make up his mind to directly lead troops to avenge Liu Zongmin and collect his body." Zhu Cihong stretched out a finger: "You have to hurt him, but you can't go deep alone, you can't be bitten." The beating made him confused and suspicious, so that we could slowly withdraw to Tongguan. ”
Now the rout that can be collected is almost closed. It almost accounted for two-third tenths of Sun Chuanting's exit from Tongguan. However, because there were Henan soldiers mixed in, only about 15 percent of the defeated troops were actually gathered. The rest of the rout either fled back to their hometowns, or fell into the grass, or surrendered to break into the camp - this part is probably the big one, and there is no point in waiting. If the army retreats immediately, it will inevitably be bitten by Li Chuang's troops. Not to mention withdrawing to Tongguan. I am afraid that before the retreat to Luoyang, the Ming army will collapse.
"Beat him to a loose mouth." Xiao Mo nodded in response, and suddenly remembered the situation of snatching a bone from the dog's mouth, and he also went up to beat it, and the dog naturally let go of his mouth. He couldn't help but laugh, a smile on his face.
Zhu Cihong didn't expect Xiao Mo to have such associations, he only thought that he was full of fighting spirit, and also smiled: "There is also training in battle." Pull those routs up and take a spin and see how we fight. Give them a little confidence, too, and don't always hold their tails like defeated dogs. ”
"Humble duty understands!" Xiao Mo agreed.
"Tannin is also on the battlefield this time?" Zhu Cihong saw the name of the tannin from the report of the ten-man regiment and the battle summary of the officers below, and asked casually.
"Yes, it's heroic." Xiao Mo wanted to praise Tannin's martial arts, but found that the East Palace emphasized too much on collective merit, and Tannin only did what he should do at best, and there was nothing to praise at all.
"In that case, let's give him a division first." Zhu Cihong smiled: "Remind him." Don't waste his skills. ”
"Yes!" Xiao Mo responded, but secretly said in his heart: Tannin's good kung fu? Drill soldiers? Not really.
Anyway. After all, Tanni waited for good news, and justifiably became the general manager of a division in the East Palace. Although he was appointed as the general with the rank of lieutenant colonel, which seemed a little abrupt among a bunch of majors and even captains, after being equipped with the combat knife that only military commanders had, Tannin even took a much calmer step.
The only fly in the ointment is that he is not in the Pioneer Division.
This time, as a vanguard, he attacked Li Zicheng's front battalion. It's still She'an.
Liu Laosi, also known as Liu Shi, was awarded the first-class White Blade Combat Medal because of his bravery in battle and his ability to turn the tide of the battle. Promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and became a flag captain. Before he could be promoted to a hospitality, the newly established Military Command Department brought a second promotion order, and promoted Liu Xi to lieutenant and temporarily replaced the 100 general managers of the headquarters.
The word "generation" was finally canceled as the horn of the attack sounded, and Liu Xi officially became a captain Baizong, and it took only three days before and after.
"Stay in formation! Kill! Liu Shi's roar spread far away on the battlefield. Riding on a horse, with only a heavy armor on his body, he still held his rattan card, waved his command knife high, and gave the order to charge.
He didn't know if it was the injury on his leg that was itching, or if he was itching in his heart, and he missed the days when he rushed to the front. Now watching his brothers run ahead of him made him scratch his breastplate fiercely.
……
"This is the prince of the Zhu family who is leaving!" Li Zicheng strode out of the military tent: "Pass the order!" Hit hard! A head will be rewarded with five taels of silver! Beat them and escape, let's chase them slowly! Let's see how many people he can spend with me! ”
Gu Junen stood behind Li Zicheng and didn't squint, as if he hadn't seen Niu Venus at all. He actually agrees with Niu Jinxing's opinion, how can the mountains and rivers in this table be given up because of one person? What's more, who doesn't know the truth that "if the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle"? General Liu has galloped the army for more than ten years, and his prestige is shocking, and it is not a pity that he really fell.
Of course, there are two kinds of truths.
One is the truth that is determined by oneself, and the other is the truth that the owner believes. When there is a difference between these two truths, there is only one truth: the principle that the proprietor affirms.
Therefore, Gu Junen found ten reasons to "dissuade" Li Zi from becoming the world and sacrificing Liu Zongmin. At the same time, he also gave a suggestion that was not a suggestion: boil slowly!
Whether it was the defeat of the officers and soldiers themselves, or the killing of Liu Zongmin, this matter was over anyway.
The mountains and rivers that should be taken in the world still can't let go!
It's just too aggrieved!
Gu Junen glanced at Li Zicheng's back, and said secretly in his heart: Follow a hero with affection and righteousness, or follow a hero who would rather lose the world...... What a dilemma.
"This kid from the Zhu family is really bold, he really deserves to be a bully in the camp!" Li Zicheng turned his head and laughed angrily: "Judging from the forehead, I still have to send someone to inquire about Zong Min's route to Beijing, and let's also come out of the robbery field!" ”
Gu Junen's face did not move. nodded slightly, and said secretly in his heart: This is to sacrifice all the eyeliner of the Jingshi in exchange for Liu Zongmin's life! However, it is easy to get a thousand troops, and it is not a big deal to die a few pawns.
Niu Jinxing tried his best to give Gu Junen a look, but when he saw that Gu Junen didn't even look at him, he even gritted his teeth. Of course, he didn't want Liu Zongmin to come back. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone know the ugly thing of fleeing before a fight, and being captured halfway? Besides, Liu Zongmin's treatment has made him feel deeply threatened, even if Li Zicheng is not a hero, the benevolent side of this woman should be left to him, the prime minister!
"Marshal......" Niu Jinxing couldn't help but speak.
"Marshal! Defeated in front!" The Tang horse who reported the news galloped over, rolled to the ground in front of Li Zicheng, and reported sadly, which just interrupted Niu Jinxing's brewing emotions.
Li Zicheng's one-eyed eyes glared at the boss, and he didn't believe it at all: "This is defeated?" ”
"General Yuan has gathered his rout. Stick to the camp and stop the officers and soldiers from seizing the camp! Tangma reported.
"Why is it like this! Let Yuan Zongdi keep it for us! Li Zicheng shouted loudly: "Someone! Take the forehead and hang it! ”
……
Dangdang!
The small brass hammer struck the bell rapidly, making a series of clanging sounds.
Mingjin retreats!
Liu Laosi had just seen the camp that broke into the camp when he heard this voice. He wanted to pretend to be deaf and rush down the camp. The military judge who accompanied the army had already chased after him on horseback, reminding him that this was a signal for the withdrawal of troops.
"Stay in formation!" Liu Laosi roared, and said weakly, "Withdraw!" ”
The military judge looked helplessly at the captain Bai Zong, who hung the medal on the outside of the armor, and secretly cursed in his heart. He rode forward again to supervise the execution of military orders.
……
"Your Highness. There are only ...... guards in the East Palace Guard Battalion" Sun Chuanting was extremely worried about the collapse of the officers and soldiers left behind the palace all the way, and wanted to remind Zhu Cihong several times of the gap in numbers.
Zhu Cihong knew very well how many people there were in his guard battalion, and he also knew very well that in a geographical environment that was not suitable for the deployment of a large army, Li Zicheng could only fight with himself. Excluding the problems of fighting more with less and taking things by surprise, it would be a fool's dream to defeat the guard battalion of the East Palace with the whole army.
"Why should the military worry about those boys?" Zhu Cihong smiled: "Look." In front of Ruyang County, let's go and settle down first, eat and then hurry. ”
Sun Chuanting was gagged again, so he had to be patient and wait for the next opportunity to advise.
"Report!" Tangma chased after him. A newspaper frightened Sun Chuanting's heart to his throat.
"The Central Military Department has won!"
"Look." Zhu Cihong smiled and said to Sun Chuanting, immediately raised his voice, and said loudly: "Inform Xiao Mo: If you win, you win!" Fight with peace of mind and use less good news! ”
The entourage couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and only after laughing did they realize that they were not surprised that the East Palace Guard Battalion could win the battle, and they had taken it for granted, which may be the sense of security generated by living in the camp day and night.
The local officials of Ruyang County prepared a pomp, and with the county order sent by the East Palace, Zhang Shiqi, went to the county border to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was personally recruited on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Unexpectedly, they set off late, and they ran into the East Palace Brigade not far away. Rao is Zhang Shiqi is old and calm, but he is also scared.
"Humble Zhang Shiqi, meet Your Highness." Zhang Shiqi was soon brought to the crown prince.
Zhu Cihong raised his hand, flattened him, and said with a smile: "I handed over Ruyang to you these days, can you do a good job of a hundred miles?" ”
Zhang Shiqi froze, and the white beard on his chin trembled and said, "I'm afraid I can be a Fang Bo for a while." With that, he took out a booklet from his sleeve and respectfully presented it to the eunuchs around Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong took the booklet, unfolded it and glanced at it, with a smile on his face: "Good, good, sure enough!" After that, he put the booklet in his sleeve and let Zhang Shiqi enter Ruyang County with his attendants.
Wu Weiye followed behind, wondering in his heart: Uncle Fang...... That's the political envoy! A person who was considered by the crown prince to be qualified to serve as a political envoy from the second rank? He has only been in Ruyang County for ten days, and he doesn't know what he has done? (To be continued......)
PS: Today's second update~~~ It seems that this month is expected to rush to full attendance, haha, everyone is quite a little soup.
