106 Yellow Flag into Luojing He Xiang (2)
Sun Chuanting is the age of knowing the destiny of heaven this year.
After three years in prison, Sun Chuanting returned to the familiar land of Shanshan, only to find that the land had not changed much, but the people were more miserable, and the thieves were growing stronger. When he was in Beijing, he saw Yang Sichang and Xiong Wencan repeatedly make defeats, and he really felt that it was not that the rogue could fight, but that he was really incompetent, so he had the arrogance of "5,000 soldiers and thieves".
After he arrived, he found that the incompetence of the governor was certainly the same, and the officials and soldiers were becoming more and more corrupt, and the Qin soldiers who were known for being good at fighting had not been trained for a long time, while the thief soldiers were as imposing as rainbows and could deceive the people, and everything was not the scene of three years ago. Only then did he brave the charges of arrogant words and resolutely asked Emperor Chongzhen for help. If Yuan Chonghuan is right to talk about comforting the sacred heart, Sun Chuanting is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis - he can't say if he suffers.
Fortunately, the Qin soldiers are the strongest soldiers in the world after all, and with a little training, with the train battalion tactics they invented, they now have the upper hand in the two battles with the thieves, which is somewhat gratifying.
However, when the army was in good shape, the crown prince quickly sent a message ordering the army to retreat to Ruzhou!
Sun Chuanting held the order in his hand, slowly walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, looking back at Baofeng County, there was still a smell of burnt smell wafting in the air, which was a unique breath on the battlefield.
"Sun Du!" The prison soldier Su Jing rode a horse, with a flush of excitement on his face, and rushed in front of Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting's face did not change color, nor did he move, until the horse's snort sprayed on his face, and then he raised his head and said leisurely: "Why is it too late to come to Lingao?" ”
"I came as soon as I heard the news, but I didn't want the road to be full of rubble, corpses, and unable to run a horse." Su Jing was one year older than Sun Chuanting, with a gray beard, and although he was a prisoner, he still couldn't mobilize the Qin soldiers while holding Shang Fang's sword. can only bow his head in front of Sun Chuanting.
In May this year, Sun Chuanting hung up the title of secretary of the military department, and from the trilateral governors to supervise the military affairs of Shanxi, Huguang, Guizhou, Jiangnan, and Jiangbei, he also had Shang Fang's sword in hand, and he also had the merit of capturing and killing Gao Yingxiang, so he did not take this prison army in his eyes at all. He knew that the emperor sent Su Jing to supervise the army, precisely because Su Jing people were not old-hearted. It is really fitting that he should be determined to be enterprising, and let him see the decree of the crown prince.
"This is the order sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Sun Chuanting waited for Su Jing to get off the horse and handed over the order in his hand.
Su Jing took it casually, unfolded it and read it. It was only three or two breaths, and the old man, who was over fifty years old, had already shouted: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean!" Why! Could it be that the blood of the officers and men of the three armies has been shed in vain! ”
"The East Palace uses the Son of Heaven's honor guard to replace the Heavenly Imperial Hunt, can I and other ministers obey?" Sun Chuanting said in a helpless tone, as if he had to withdraw his troops.
In fact, he was not willing to withdraw his troops.
Under the current situation, Qin Bing occupies a great initiative. Because of Li Yangchun's surrender. Sun Chuanting knew that the old camp of the thieves was in Tang County, the puppet officials of various prefectures and counties were gathered in Baofeng, and his own elite was in Xiangcheng. Knowing such accurate strategic intelligence, Qin Bing eliminated Tang and Baofeng counties in one fell swoop, which would inevitably make Li Chuang's heart ache.
Now the horse has returned, saying that in the camp, weeping is all over the place, and it is almost scattered.
And after killing those puppet officials. The thieves will also have great trouble in confusing the people and collecting military rations. It can be said that the fundamentals have been moved.
The rest only need to attack Xiangcheng in one go, completely defeat Li Chuang, and be able to achieve great success after more than ten years of trouble.
It's a pity that the prince's paper edict is actually trying to strangle this great victory alive?
What is the difference between this and the gold medal summoning Yue Wumu!
Sun Chuanting's heart suddenly moved: Could it be that the prince has a traitor like Qin Hui by his side? Want to stop yourself from moving forward so that you can make meritorious achievements?
That's the only way to do it.
The crown prince does not need merit. He just needs to live well, Zuihou can always be the emperor, and Weishenme is going to spoil his own affairs?
"It's a mess!" Su Jing was so red that he shouted loudly: "The superintendent must not obey the prince's order!" ”
"The prince can give a holy decree." Sun Chuanting reminded.
Dai Tian Yu Hunt represents the Son of Heaven. Just sacrifice the sword of Shang Fang. Just like the Son of Heaven came in person, although there are some jokes about killing the generals in battle, it is not impossible to seize the military power and send them back to Beijing in a prison car.
"You and I both have Shang Fang's sword in hand, report it to the imperial court, please Your Highness not interfere in military affairs." Su Jing had a stiff neck, and under the loose skin, he saw green tendons jumping suddenly.
"This matter," Sun Chuanting sighed, "I said a long time ago, how can the eldest husband be in the world, how can he deal with the prison officials again?" As he spoke, Sun Chuanting turned around and didn't let Su Jing see the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Overseer!" Su Jing walked around to Sun Chuanting's side and shouted loudly. Seeing that Sun Chuanting didn't move, he stomped his foot heavily and shouted: "Since the superintendent pities the feathers, I might as well be this 'disloyal minister'!" With that, Su Jing turned over and got on his horse again, raised his horsewhip, made a crisp sound in the air, and drove the horse to the city.
Because Su Jing wanted to take care of local government affairs and urge the payment of grain and grass, the official office was set up in the county seat. At this time, Baofeng County had just been cleared, and the county officials selected by the imperial court had not yet come, and only the local gentry and the military secretary office were governed together.
When the officers and soldiers lined up in Baofeng that day, Chen Kexin, the Baozhou Mu appointed by the thieves, and Jiang Li, the state judge, organized the people to resist the city. Originally, it would take some time to attack Baofeng, but fortunately, on the evening of the 12th, 288 gentry secretly went out of the city and surrendered, thus breaking the city. Sun Chuanting selected two older ones from these two hundred and eighty-eight people and identified them one by one. Among them, more than ten people were not known by the elderly, suspected of being thieves, and were all beheaded.
and those who were thieves in the city were beheaded.
It's just that in one day, more than half of the people of Baofeng were killed and injured, and the people were angry, if it weren't for Su Jing as the assistant manager, I am afraid that it would not be able to operate normally for a long time.
Sun Chuanting ordered a brutal killing that day, not expecting to guard Baofeng, but also hoping that Baofeng would not threaten the back road after the army. Now, if you really want to retreat to Ruzhou, I'm afraid it will be far from enough.
You can't leave a strong man, a mule or a horse, or a grain of grain for the thief!
- Let's see what Su Jing does.
Sun Chuanting stepped on the wet soil under his feet, and had a vague sense of foreboding, but he didn't know if this ominous feeling was from the thief on the opposite side, or the prince behind him.
……
"Let's him, Li Yangchun's eighteenth generation ancestor!"
Li Zicheng stood in the middle of the tent, angrily smashing the ground with his sword, so angry that the arrow wound he suffered in Kaifeng also ached.
Under Kaifeng City, a cold arrow hit Li Zicheng's eye. Although time has passed, whenever his liver qi is in full bloom, it will still cause pinprick pain, and when it is severe, it will also cause headaches.
"Marshal, it's a pity that Baofeng and the old camp didn't have time to withdraw." Niu Jinxing stepped forward and said softly: "But the main trunk of my camp is not injured, and I can still fight with them!" ”
"Marshal, there is a way that mourning soldiers will win, and now the soldiers in the battalion want to kill the thief to take revenge, it is the time when the army's heart is available!" Song Xiance didn't care about pretending to be a ghost, and he also persuaded him.
Li Zicheng's anger gradually subsided, and his gaze swept over these masterminds, and finally fell on a bearded man.
"Can you hit it?" Li Zicheng neither called him by name nor titled him to an official position, as if he were talking to a relative of his own family who knew him too well.
This bearded man was wearing iron armor, wearing a bright helmet, with long knives hanging on both sides of his waist, his eyes were like leopard eyes, and he said categorically: "If you don't fight, it's not enough to calm everyone's hearts." ”
"I'm afraid that the camp will be unstable," Li Zicheng said with a hideous face and hatred, "One day I will cut off Li Yangchun's pair of donkey balls and feed them to the dogs!" ”
"That thief is not the same as the forehead." The strong man said: "There's nothing to say about this, the foreheads are still the same, you hit the front, and the foreheads take people around to cut off their food routes." ”
"What if someone dies again?" Li Zicheng asked.
"If you fight, no one will dare to make trouble, and if you don't beat people's hearts, they will disperse."
What Li Zicheng is worried about is that people's hearts are scattered.
For example, there are only two major rebel armies today - their own camp and Zhang Xianzhong's western camp.
In terms of strength, the western camp is not enough to confront the camp, but the camp is the annexation of Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, King Zuo Jin's fifth battalion, and Yuan Shizhong's small Yuan camp to achieve today's formation. It's not too early to say this, it's not too late, but it's been more than half a year. Because the annexation days are short, the people's hearts are not solid, and if there is a recurrence of the imminent war, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe.
Speaking of which, Li Yangchun was also a solo battalion back then, known as the Four Kings, and he has been in the camp for many years, but now he still says the opposite?
"Report to the marshal! Patrol the camp and catch a spy! Someone outside the tent suddenly shouted: "The confession said that he contacted the inner response for the Sun thief!" ”
When Li Zicheng heard the "internal response", he hated itchy, stared at it with one eye, and shouted: "Bring it in!" We're going to kill him alive! (To be continued......)
