Chapter 255: I fought the battle, but the credit belongs to others
Jin Guoqi led Le Guochen and other generals to arrive, and before the horse stopped, he couldn't wait to hold his fists and said: "The last general will see Gao Gonggong!" He turned over and dismounted, and made a great salute.
Le Guochen and others also dismounted one after another, and bowed respectfully towards Gao Qi.
A group of generals saluted themselves, and they were satisfied, with a smile on their faces, and raised their hands to pretend to be humble: "Jin Zhentai please get up quickly, please get up quickly, our family is just a slave of the Son of Heaven, how can we be such a big gift as Jin Zhentai, it is really killing our family." As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and took a few steps forward, wanting to help Jin Guoqi up.
"Father-in-law is the eunuch of the general system of the Jingying Commander, and supervises the army for the Son of Heaven, how can he not be the last general?"
Jin Guoqi insisted on finishing the salute, then got up, and said in an inquiring tone: "Just now, I visited the Malay newspaper and said that the rebels have retreated in the direction of Laizhou, and the last general pondered that it was going to be dark this day, and the wind and snow were heavy, and if we continued to march, I am afraid that we would encounter accidents, so I hereby ask for a public announcement, can our army camp in this small official camp, and then set off to Laizhou tomorrow when the weather improves?" ”
Gao Qi thought for a while, nodded happily and said: "Although this place is only more than 20 miles away from Laizhou, it stands to reason that our family is ordered to beg for thieves, and we should not stop more along the way, and we should go straight to the city of Laizhou in one go." But our army has just gone through a big battle, the sergeants are tired, and there is wind and snow, for the sake of safety, it is better to set off for Laizhou tomorrow. This meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, this battle is naturally to be fought step by step, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, although our family is from the inner court, we don't have much military experience, but our family is the most sympathetic to our subordinates, according to the meaning of Jin Zhentai, we will camp in this small official camp tonight! ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Jin Guoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Gao Qiqian would force him to continue the march, although this place is close to Laizhou, but it is also within the range of the rebels' strength, although the rebels retreat, but the main force is still there, if there is an ambush along the way, it will be sad tonight, and there is a danger of defeat.
Le Guochen, the general of Miyun, was a little worried: "The rebels have besieged Laizhou for some days, we have been ordered to rescue, and we should arrive as soon as possible, although it is dark, but the rebels are newly defeated, and we have no intention of fighting again, why don't we take the opportunity to go straight to the city, and join forces with the inside and outside of the city, and kill them personally on their backs!" ”
"It's true that the soldiers are fast, but we came from afar, the terrain is not familiar, and we rush to advance the army, and I am afraid that there will be accidents." Jin Guoqi did not annoy Le Guochen for holding opposite opinions with him, because although Le Guochen was named his subordinate, the other party was also the chief military officer of Miyun, although he was not as good as his general town, but there was little difference. This time they were ordered to lead the reinforcements, and the two were more of a cooperative relationship than a subordinate subordinate to the top, so they could not simply scold rudely, but discussed with each other and tried to reach a consensus.
Le Guochen was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should insist on continuing the march or camp on the spot.
Seeing this, Gao Qiqian smiled and said, "General Le's worries are not unreasonable, but we are not in a hurry at this time. He pointed confidently in the direction of Laizhou, "Laizhou City has thick walls, and it is as solid as Dengzhou." The loss of Dengzhou was because of the internal response of the Liao soldiers, but there were no Liao soldiers in the city of Laizhou, and the officials defending the city had already seen through the rebels' tricks, so we believe that Laizhou would not be easily lost. Let's rest overnight in this small official camp, raise our spirits, and then go to Laizhou City tomorrow to fight the rebels! ”
Jin Guoqi also said: "Laizhou guard general Xu Congzhi was in Liaozhen with the last general in the past, this person is quite capable of governing the army, and he is very serious, with him, Laizhou should not be in danger." ”
Seeing that Jin Guoqi and Gao Qiqian did not agree to continue the march, Le Guochen was not good at talking, so he nodded in agreement.
After searching in the crowd, no one from the ancestral family was found, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but be surprised, and asked Jin Guoqi: "Why don't you see Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui?" ”
"Zu Dabi is still in the Ma army in the headquarters, and he has already called someone to pass it on in the last tense, but Wu Sangui is here." Jin Guoqi turned around as he spoke, and shouted: "Uncle, come and see Grandpa Gao!" (Author's note: Changbo, Wu Sangui table characters.) )
shouted, but Wu Sangui didn't come out. Take a closer look, there is no Wu Sangui in the crowd. Jin Guoqi couldn't help but sigh and asked the others: "Where is Wu Sangui, where did he go?" ”
Everyone only followed Jin Guoqi to see the eunuch in Jingying, but no one paid attention to the back, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Le Guochen looked back and shouted, "Isn't this coming?" ”
Everyone looked together, and sure enough, more than a dozen horsemen were galloping towards them. When I got closer, I saw that there were a few riders behind this group of people
"The last general, Zu Dabi, has seen Gonggong Gao!" Zu Dabi's voice is like a bell.
"General Zu, please get up!" Gao Qiqian nodded secretly, the second madman of Zu really deserved his reputation.
Wu Sangui, who was following his uncle, also saluted forward, and said with a full sense of anger: "The last general, Wu Sangui, has seen Gonggong Gao!" ”
"Hehe, the three armies of the brave crown, the nine sides of filial piety! What a young general Wu Sangui, when our family was in Beijing, I often heard people mention you, even the emperor praised you for being fair-skinned! Gao Qiqian was very happy to help Wu Sangui up, looked him up and down a few times, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became.
"Your father Wu Xiang is loyal to the country, and he died on the battlefield" Gao Qiqian was about to say something about Wu Xiang, when a serious and inlight voice came from his ears: "The last general Shi Dayong has seen Gao Gonggong!"
Hearing this, Gao Qiqian glanced at it sideways, and nodded coldly: "Well, General Shi will get up." ”
"Yes, father-in-law!"
After Shi Dayong and his subordinates got up, they found that Gao Qiqian was pulling Wu Sangui straight to say something, and he didn't look at them at all. An acquaintance over there, Bai Shangyi, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, was glaring at them angrily.
I have offended Gao Qiqian several times, how can I expect the other party to give me a good look after meeting. Shi Dayong shook his hand slightly, signaling his subordinates not to move. Seriously, he is still quite grateful to Gao Qiqian at the moment, if it weren't for the other party bringing troops to help, he would be afraid that he would have become a corpse lying on this snow, where could he still speak.
When you think about repaying your kindness, people save yourself, that is, there are thousands of no, you must endure it, this is the way of life.
Shi Dayong thought so, and did the same, Gao Qiqian ignored him, and he didn't take the initiative to speak. After nodding to Jin Guoqi, Le Guochen and others, he consciously led his subordinates to retreat to the back.
After Haosheng comforted and encouraged Wu Sangui, Gao Qiqian Fang let out a long sigh, as if he was sad for Wu Xiang's untimely death, Wu Sangui's mouth moved, and he wanted to tell Gao Qiqian about the real murderer who killed his father, but he was stopped by Zu Dabi with a look.
Gao Qiqian didn't pay attention, turned around and walked towards Jin Guoqi and Le Guochen, and said with emotion: "Jin Zhentai has led the army to come to the aid of thousands of miles, and the main force of the rebel army has been severely damaged in the first battle, not only playing the majesty of our official army, but also the majesty of the Son of Heaven. ”
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Guoqi and Le Guochen were stunned for a moment, Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui were also stunned, but the faces of Shi Dayong and his subordinates changed invariably.
This battle was obviously fought by my Jinzhou army, why did the credit become theirs?
