11-18 Inspector Yuan's painstaking efforts

Liu Ziguang and his entourage came to the east gate of Tongguan on horseback, and the soldiers guarding the gate were all from Huguang, and Liu Ziguang's prestige was extremely high in Huguang, so although they were suspicious in their hearts, they still obeyed the order to open the city gate, and more than 300 people rushed out and galloped towards the direction of the camp.

has already fallen out with Yuan Chonghuan, with hundreds of people will definitely not be able to make waves, it is better to pull out Wang Fuchen's forward battalion and do it alone, this alone is not the meaning of merging with Yuan Chonghuan, but to reopen the stove and start a war with the Western Xia people.

Came to the Tongguan camp, Liu Ziguang went straight to the handsome tent, ordered the Chinese army to beat the drum, gathered more than 1,000 officers of the whole army, Yuan Chonghuan was not there, the general of the expedition to the west was the biggest official, the three drums, the officers of the western army battalion came to the handsome account, only to see Liu Ziguang sitting on the handsome chair in a bloody uniform, and he didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic: "The generals listened, the forward battalion packed up the equipment and set up another camp with the commander, and the other battalions did not move for the time being." ”

Liu Zongmin, the commander of the battalion, immediately went out and said: "The general's general will not dare to obey his orders, the forward battalion has been placed under the jurisdiction of our department, how can he camp alone, does the general have a warrant from Inspector Yuan?" ”

Liu Ziguang said: "This marshal is the emperor's imperial general of the expedition to the west, and he can naturally mobilize soldiers and horses to control the western army. ”

Liu Zongmin said: "Yuan Governor is the governor of Shaanxi's trilateral military affairs, and the front line is of course the largest in his old man's family, and the general's chaotic orders will not dare to obey." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "The military order of this commander has been issued, who dares to disrespect and behead on the spot, Wang Fuchen!" ”

Wang Fuchen responded loudly: "The end will be!" ”

"Take your brethren out of the camp, and whoever dares to hinder the sword and soldiers from meeting each other."

"Yes!"

The camp was full of murderous atmosphere, the soldiers of the forward battalion had already put on their armor, their bows and knives were unsheathed and Liu Zongmin's military law team on duty was confronted, and more soldiers of the Western Army were busy wearing armor and walking out of the barracks to prepare to join the confrontation.

In the handsome tent, Liu Zongmin held two big knives in his hands, looked at Liu Ziguang without fear, and had the intention of fighting, Liu Ziguang admired this person a little, he was worthy of being an old bandit in Guanzhong, and his courage was indeed good.

Seeing that an infighting was about to inevitably arise, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a shout came from afar: "Don't do it, Inspector Yuan has an order." ”

The person who came was Wu Sangui, and he rolled the saddle and dismounted before the war horse galloped to the handsome account, and shouted loudly: "Supervisor warrant, the forward battalion will be handed over to the general of the West to take away, and no one can stop it!" ”

The hands that everyone touched the handle of the knife relaxed, Liu Zongmin stopped talking with a dark face, Wu Sangui personally accompanied Liu Ziguang out of the handsome account, the flag officer conveyed the order, and the confrontational army disengaged and made way for a road.

The 3,000 forward battalion slowly drove out of the camp, Liu Ziguang and Wu Sangui stood side by side at the gate of the camp to supervise, Liu Ziguang asked: "Uncle, what does Inspector Yuan mean?" Is he really not welcoming me? ”

Wu Sangui sighed and said: "Big brother, don't blame the superintendent, his old man can't help it, this Xixia people are really not as good as the Manchu Qing, the Manchu Qing is getting poorer, but the Xixia is in full swing, since we came to this Shaanxi, we haven't won a few battles, the superintendent has tried his best to find a way, and still ended up in Shaanxi and retreated to the point of Tongguan, maybe you think it's too bad, in fact, the younger brother understands in his heart that it's good to be able to fight like this, and if someone else is the boss, maybe the Central Plains have been lost." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "If you are afraid, you are forbidden to fight, what kind of logic is this, if you win the battle, you will be killed, what is the reason?" ”

Wu Sangui said: "The Inspector is indeed too jealous of the Xixia people, because the enemy army is cunning and tricky, and our army has suffered a lot of losses in this regard, and the purpose of holding Tongguan and not allowing the battle is to preserve the vitality, although the little brother is dissatisfied, but he also understands, and Jin Shengheng's matter, the Inspector is painstaking, and the Inspector came to Henan to train a hundred thousand strong troops as a civilian official, who are they?" Lawless old bandits and rebelled, rebelled and rebelled officials and soldiers, how can they control these people without an iron fist? This time, Jin Shengheng violated the order to follow the general to fight, although he won, but it made the military order of the superintendent become a dead letter, if it is not punished, it will not be able to lead the troops, so the superintendent will be strict. ”

Seeing Liu Ziguang's suspicion, Wu Sangui said again: "The superintendent knows that he wants to kill Jin Shengheng, you must not agree, eldest brother, this face is not given, it is not given, it is not ......."

"Just force me away, don't you?" Liu Ziguang asked.

Wu Sangui pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "It can be said that now the eldest brother is no longer the eldest brother of the past, he is a great minister with outstanding military achievements, and it is definitely not something that the superintendent can control, rather than bumping and bumping together, it is better to separate the family and go it alone, anyway, the superintendent can't command your redshirt army, and at the same time, the superintendent is not willing to give up the power, after all, the western army is the hard work of his old man." As for Jin Shengheng, this person has always been unruly, if it weren't for the outstanding military achievements of the superintendent, he would have cut him down a long time ago, this time he simply gave it to the eldest brother as a favor, you saved his life, and I haven't served him wholeheartedly. ”

"That's why I connived at robbing Jin Shengheng and sent you to order the release of the forward battalion, Inspector Yuan doesn't want to have any more intersections with me, isn't that so?"

Wu Sangui sighed: "Big brother, don't you understand the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, Yuan Inspector is the secretary of the military department, the general leader of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has led the Western Army for so long, you are a first-class general, the victorious general of the Ming Dynasty, which of the two of you listens to whom?" Either you transfer Inspector Yuan back to the capital and you take over, or you raise another army and do not interfere with each other, in short, the two of you can't pick up a horse spoon in the same pot. ”

"So, my position as a general of the expedition to the west has been a bureau from the beginning? The generals of the Western Army are restless, this is what some people in the imperial court want to see? Liu Ziguang said thoughtfully.

"The fiery temper of the eldest brother meets the stubborn temper of Inspector Yuan, you two are on the tip of the needle, it is strange if nothing happens. Anyway, I said what I should say, and the meaning of the superintendent is also very clear, when most of the Red Shirt Army arrives, you can start a new one, and our two armies are still friendly forces. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ziguang smiled, "Inspector Yuan is afraid that I will seize power, or that I will cause trouble for him, and it is not good to let me leave, so he simply plans to use Jin Shengheng to force me away, this trick is clever, even if the court investigates it, it can't be held accountable to him, at most I say that I am arrogant and undisciplined, anyway, my notoriety has spread far and wide, and it doesn't hurt to have one more one, just go, let's go, anyway, I am not comfortable under others, I have no military power and no financial power, and I can't use my hands and feet at all." Uncle, go back and bring it to the supervisor, and say that it will be useful to get my redshirt army in the future, so let the radio station these three codes. As he spoke, he knocked out three long and two short codes on Wu Sangui's shoulder, "This is SOS, they telegraph soldiers understand, you can tell the overseer." ”

Wu Sangui arched his hand to Liu Ziguang: "Thank you eldest brother for understanding the hard work of the superintendent, the younger brother originally wanted to follow the eldest brother, but there was a shortage of people on the superintendent's side, and the younger brother had to stay. ”

"Okay, you first set me three hundred tents, the forward battalion came in a hurry, and rushed into it lightly, without even bringing tents."

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll have someone send it when I go back."

The forward battalion withdrew from the Tongguan camp, and set up camp in another place with dangerous terrain, saying that camping is actually to cut down trees and dig earth walls, they did not bring tents, they could only build their own houses, the soldiers cut down tree trunks and cut off the book covers, nailed into small wooden houses as handsome accounts, and the others could only use tree branches to temporarily build shacks to live temporarily, and wait for Wu Sangui's tent to be sent and then officially build barracks.

In the cabin, Liu Ziguang gathered his generals for a meeting, a newly made log table with a wine bowl and a copper pot of shabu-shabu, Zhou Peigong, Wang Fuchen, Jin Shengheng are all newly joined the Zhenwu Hou system, words and deeds are very respectful, holding a wine bowl to listen to Liu Ziguang's words, Hou Ye does not raise the bowl They dare not drink, Liu Ziguang said: "Ben Hou here does not pay attention to hypocrisy, everyone let go of eating and drinking, they are all their own brothers, you are welcome, I will introduce you, this is Zhou Peigong, this is Wang Fuchen, they are all heroes of the North Road, This is General Jin Shenghengjin, who is crisscrossing the lake. ”

"Shanxi horse harrier!"

"Henan Golden Sword!"

Wang Fuchen and Jin Shengheng looked at each other and laughed, Zhou Peigong stroked his beard and smiled, and Liu Ziguang couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "It turns out that you know each other." ”

"It's all big locks in all directions, who doesn't know anyone, I think we killed officials and rebelled together." Jin Shengheng said with great interest.

"Now that we are all officials and soldiers of the imperial court, don't mention the glorious things in the past." Zhou Pei is fair.

"What kind of court officials, we are the pro-army of the Marquis of Zhenwu, what is the matter with the court, today Lao Tzu was almost cut by Yuan Manzi, if it weren't for the marshal to come to the rescue, there would be no one to eat and drink under more than 50 brothers below Lao Tzu, since then Lao Tzu is no longer a general of the Western Army, Lao Tzu is a personal soldier under the command of Zhenwu Marquis!" Jin Shengheng was not angry when he talked about today's events, so he drank a bowl of wine and smashed the bowl to pieces, loudly confessing his loyalty.

"Why don't we do this, we rushed to the camp in the middle of the night and didn't let us in, we were drenched in torrential rain all night, and the next day we were assigned a pond to camp, and the brothers carried the soil and clashed with the Western Army, if it wasn't for the Hou Ye coming in time, this would have been cut down, do you know what's going on? Liu Zongmin, who was in Tongguan Daying, turned out to be a horse bandit in Shaanxi, and he had a beam with Lao Tzu, but I didn't expect this kid to remember after so many years, he was so fucking unlucky! Wang Fuchen was also indignant.

Liu Ziguang then understood why when he arrived at the Tongguan camp, the forward battalion was fully armed with helmets and armor, and it turned out that it was on the verge of fire, it seems that Yuan Chonghuan is really clever with this hand, and it is impossible for these people to live in peace with the Western Army, there are contradictions everywhere, and it is not simply separated from each other to hold their breath and endure it.

"Don't say anything, drink!" Liu Ziguang raised the wine bowl.
