Chapter 347: The Liaodong Cavalry Goes to War
On the way to Xiaoguanzhuang, Jiang Wanli roughly explained Yang Yufan's attitude, and Dayong nodded frequently.
"Yang Zhen is willing to make friends with the general, and he also hopes to be able to cut Li Kong's second rebellion to cut off the troubles, but he doesn't want the general to have a bad relationship with Gao Qiqian, if he is good at starting a military affair, Yang Zhen may have to intervene in the imperial court."
"Yang Yufan is young and ambitious, if it weren't for his father Wu Xianggong, how could he be awarded the general town at a young age." Dayong smiled disapprovingly, "But his people have been sticking to Laizhou for several months, and everyone has appeased him, but he is the main one, and his vision is much higher than those roundabout officials." Or, if you admit that he sells us food, you will not make it difficult for him, even if you pass the word to him. ”
"What does the general mean is not to have a bad relationship with Gao Qiqian?" Jiang Wanli pondered Dayong's words, and didn't seem to really want to do anything with Gao Qiqian, but if he didn't do it, how could Gao Qiqian be willing to hand over Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde.
Dayong shook his head and said, "Just raise up and sneak to hand over people, if you don't hand over people, how can this soldier not be able to afford it?" Is there anyone in the world who begs for mercy without holding a knife to his neck? ”
"If the army is mobilized, Yang Zhen will definitely not stand idly, how will he explain to the imperial court afterwards?" Jiang Wanli was a little confused, Da Yong just said that he would not make it difficult for Yang Yufan, but now he said that he would use the knife, wouldn't it be contradictory.
"Yang Yufan has the vision and courage, but I'm afraid that he doesn't have the strength to fight with me in Jinzhou. If he had dared to leave the city, he would not have let the rebels besiege it for months. Dayong raised his horsewhip quite confidently, pointed to the wolf cavalry waiting in front of him, and said proudly: "In the realm of Denglai, are there any soldiers and horses stronger than my Jinzhou?" With this strong army in hand, I can do things happily in Jinzhou, and I don't have to tie my hands and tail again! How fearful is the defenders of Laizhou! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wanli was shocked, this word spread out, wouldn't it be true that Jinzhou was plotting rebellion? But this thought flashed by, and he was only worried: "On the side of the imperial court, how is the general going to explain?" ”
"Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde are thieves who are not dead, they are clearly surrendering, but they are actually fraudulent surrenders, and they can't be detected by high diving and can't be detected, so that the rebels rebel revolt, and the general will lead Jinzhou to quell the rebellion with a thunderous momentum, and capture the thief's first battle under the knife, such a great achievement, will the imperial court still chill the hearts of my Jinzhou soldiers?"
After sending away the Jinzhou envoy, Gao Qi was furious, "Our family has long said that Jinzhou is really a traitor, and the princes of the court and the central government still have suspicions, but today's things are very clear, that Shi Dayong is a thief, called counter-rebellion, it is actually a rebellion, he Jinzhou all the way to surrender and rebel, gathered tens of thousands of thieves, but he did not play a table to the court, hum, what does he Shi Dayong want to do?!" Let's see, he is clearly another Li Jiucheng! ”
In the tent, Lin Qing, Jin Guochen, Le Guoqi, Jia Hongjiao, Deng Yuan, Wang Hong, Zu Dabi, Wu Sangui and others heard Gao Qiqian's words, some nodded yes, some looked angry, and some looked ambiguous.
"If the Jinzhou Army is really the Son of Heaven's soldiers as Shi Dayong said, why did he stop the soldiers in front of the official barracks, this thief is clearly coercing the bus people!"
The one who spoke was Zhang Guochen, the head of the military department who ran out of Laizhou, who failed to appease him last time, but buried Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, and almost called the rebels to attack the city, and the crime was enough to cut Zhang Guochen 10,000 times, but he just stayed in the Gao Qiqian camp like a nobody, and the court did not order Gao Qiqian to take him to Beijing for punishment. Qu Yiyang, the governor of Shuntian Mansion who was with him, was taken to Beijing by Jinyiwei with Liu Yulie. The treatment of the two is really one day and one place.
"Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde were taken by their father-in-law Huwei to descend, if the two of them are handed over to Shi Dayong, how will the world look at his father-in-law, how will the court look at his father-in-law, and how will the emperor look at his father-in-law?" The more Zhang Guochen spoke, the more excited he became, and he got up angrily and shouted: "The only way to plan now is to fight!" The father-in-law is the Son of Heaven personally ordered the Qin to send the supervising army, and the army led by the real court is the one who can compare with the rebellious! ”
"Only one battle?" Gao Qi hesitated, Shi Dayong led the Jinzhou army to the south, the battle was impressive, Shahe slashed Chen for a while, Xiaoguanzhuang forced the rebels not to move, and regained Dengzhou, the battle of Zhuqiao was less than half an hour to break the rebel forward 6,000 soldiers, shocked Zhaoyuan tens of thousands of rebels scattered in the past, and then thought of last year's Jinzhou War, Gao Qiqian did not dare to make up his mind to add up with the Jinzhou army for a while. But just watching Shi Dayong in front of the barracks, showing off his might every day, he really couldn't swallow this breath! Don't even think about handing over Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, the tables have been presented to Beijing, and now everyone in the world knows that Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde have surrendered to him, how can he not even have a face, and then hand over these two to Shi Dayong!
Seeing that there was a look of hesitation on the surface of Gao Qi, Zhang Guochen hurriedly glanced at Zu Dabi, and Zu Dabi saw this, and hurriedly went out to ask for battle: "Father-in-law, rest assured, although the rebellion is strong, but most of its troops are the old troops of Li Kong's rebel army, as far as the last general knows, when his Jinzhou army went south, there were only more than 800 people. Shi Reyi now relies on only the tens of thousands of rebels, but the last general's department is the elite cavalry of Liaodong, how can it be compared to this rabble, as long as the father-in-law gives an order, the last general will lead the troops to defeat Shi Reyi in one fell swoop, cut off his head to see the father-in-law! ”
"If you don't win, please cut down the last general!" His father's revenge was not avenged, Wu Sangui was very emotional, his fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait to go out of the camp to capture Shi Dayong's thief with a thousand knives.
Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui's invitation to fight is like giving Gao Qiqian a reassurance, yes, Shi Dayong only brought 800 soldiers to the south, after a few battles, how many can be left? The thief now relied on nothing more than the remnants of the rebels who were frightened by him, and it was a joke that such a rabble would wave their flags and shout, and it would be a joke to go into battle to kill the enemy.
It's so dangerous, it's almost a thief who bluffs it! With the 3,000 cavalry of the ancestral family, no battle can be won! If Shi Yi can be defeated on this, after returning to Beijing, the Son of Heaven Hongen really can't imagine it.
Gao Qi was very hot in his heart, and he was also excited, and he looked at Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui and praised: "When our family was in the capital, I heard that General Zu and General Wu were brave, but among the thousands of troops, they captured the flag and beheaded the generals, and the elite soldiers of Liaodong are also the crown of the world. ”
After speaking, he looked at Lin Qing, Jin Guochen, Le Guoqi, Jia Hongjiao, Deng Yuan, Wang Hong and others, and ordered: "The Liaodong soldiers are in front, and the elite soldiers are followed by each other, so as to calm down the rebellion in one fell swoop." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Qing looked embarrassed and hesitated: "My father-in-law doesn't know, the Beijing battalion under the command of the last general has not been defeated for a long time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to use it." ”
"The soldiers under the command of the last general are not fine, the armor is not even, and the salary is insufficient, and it may be difficult to use it." Deng Yu and Wang Hong also refused to fight for various reasons, although there was a friendship with Shi Dayong, but there were indeed difficulties, and it was really difficult for his Sichuan soldiers to fight.
However, Jin Guochen and Le Guoqi did not refuse to fight, and were willing to lead the elite troops to cooperate with Zu Dabi's Liaodong cavalry to fight. Jia Hongjiao also rubbed his fists and was willing to lead the elite soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion to fight.
Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui were afraid that the Sichuan army and the Beijing camp would not dare to fight, so they hurriedly said that it was enough for the Jizhen soldiers to cooperate. Zhang Guochen also said that the soldiers of Jizhen are no less than the Liao soldiers, when the eastern captives entered the Kou, the soldiers and horses of Jizhen had a good performance, and this time it was used to calm the rebellion of the rabble, which should be a knife to kill chickens.
Under Zu Dabi's strong request to fight and Zhang Guochen and others' encouragement, Gao Qiqian finally made up his mind to fight. At that moment, Zu Dabi and the others immediately returned to the camp to prepare for the battle.
