In the Battle of Yizhou, Zhang Jujing was defeated and died.

The nearly 40,000 soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition were the main force in Liaoxi, and most of them were half foot soldiers, and they could not outrun Deng She's cavalry. The army is defeated like a mountain, and the army without organization is only a two-legged sheep, no matter how many people there are. Tong Shengyang and Lu Qian's twelve tribes chased in the middle of the night, killing and injuring countless people.

The defeated army, which was full of mountains and fields, was running in chaos everywhere in the northeast, north, south, and north, running in a mess, and completely losing its structure. Some of the fast-legged ones ran again with their heads covered, and instead of running to Daning and Xingzhou, he ran to Luyang. On the way, he met Li Ye's troops who came to take over the defense, and all of them were captured.

The next evening, Li Ye rushed to Yiju.

Yizhou is a hundred miles away from Luyang, and he marched in a hurry for a day and a night, and the soldiers were very tired. Li Ye was a hundred times more energetic, and since someone led the soldiers to the camp, he went straight to the Shuai Mansion. Deng Sheshuai waited in the mansion for a long time, the two met, looked at him, and saw him in the dust, sweating so that his face was black and gray, and he looked like a cat.

Deng She said with a smile: "I often hear in the army that General Li is known as a flying general and does not ride a horse, and his reputation is well deserved. Traveling hundreds of miles in a day and night, tired of it, right? ”

Luo Guoqi's teaching regiment toured the battalions and told the story of General Fei Li Guang, and Li Ye had heard it. He killed the Tartars, Li Guang killed the Huns, and he couldn't write two Li characters in one stroke. Even more coincidentally, he also has the style of Li Guang in governing the army, and shares weal and woe with his soldiers. Where there is a shortage of food and water, when he sees water, the soldiers do not drink enough, and he does not go near water. When he gets food, the soldiers don't eat enough, and he doesn't taste a mouthful of food. Charging into battle, he took the lead. The foot soldier marched without horses, and he did not ride. Because of the generosity and gentleness to the soldiers, the soldiers are happy to use them.

He was not very old, in his twenties, and he saluted respectfully, and replied: "The last general was born in a bitter haha, a man from the mountains, and it is not a problem to walk the mountain road for a day and a night, not to mention that the weather is cold and the river is frozen, and it is very refreshing to walk along the way." It could have come earlier, but there were some remnants of Tartars on the way, and the hour was delayed. ”

"Oh? Met Zhang Jujing's defeat? How many people are there? Were there any casualties among the brothers? ”

"So that the general may rest assured, and the last general will keep in mind the general's command, and whenever there is a march, he will go out to scout. Therefore, I took precautions early, and there were not many injured brothers. Li Ye said, "There are three or four hundred defeated soldiers, mixed with dozens of Tartars, some from the Hongji tribe, and some from the reinforcements in the belly. In order not to delay the speed of the march, there were no prisoners, and they were all cut down. ”

Li Ye hated the Mongols bitterly and had a common hatred. "In order not to delay the speed of the march", Yunyun, purely under the pretext, in all previous battles, unless specifically required by the military order, he did not leave any prisoners under his hands.

Dunshe smiled and didn't blame him. At an extraordinary time, when he practiced an extraordinary method, he annihilated thousands of Yuan troops in this battle, and didn't he have a single prisoner? The war is in full swing, the troops are tight, and if the prisoners are asked, they can't separate the military horses to see them, leaving a disaster in vain.

Li Ye asked: "Lao Pan is useless, he can't hold Yizhou, and he spoils the general's plan." Now that Liaoxi has been defeated and fled, news will come out in a few days, and once the Tartars of Wuping and Huihe have taken precautions, it will be difficult to break through with 20,000 cavalry alone. General, what should our army do? ”

"I was about to talk to you."

After conquering Yizhou, Deng She handed over chores to Tong Shengyang and military affairs to Yang Wanhu, freeing up time, he carefully considered it, and through further analysis of the enemy and me, he came up with four words. He slowly approached the front of the map, looked at it with his hands, and said slowly: "I have made a plan, and it is called: plan the plan." ”

"What does the general mean?"

"Now that the news of our army's surprise attack has been leaked, we simply made a big splash, and still put on the appearance of attacking Wuping and Huihe."

"Will the Tartars believe it?"

"Wuping's Buddhist slave, I have fought with him, this person is suspicious and indecisive, our posture is out, and there is the power of breaking Zhang Ju Jingjun, whether you believe it or not, they will prepare for war. My purpose is not to ask for their faith, but only for them to prepare for war and defend the city. ”

"Then, where does the general want to attack?"

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord." Deng She lifted the scabbard, put a little weight on the map, and said, "I sent dozens of probe horses to Daning last night to investigate the truth and reality. ”

"The general wants to attack Huizhou openly and attack Daning?"

Li Ye is studious, he has learned a lot of combat examples from the teaching regiment, he dare not say that he is proficient in the art of war, the key is that he will learn and use it lively, hesitated for a moment, he said, "There are routs everywhere in Liaoxi, and the general's probe?" If it is seen by the defeated soldiers, the Daning family treasure will not know that it will be difficult for our army to recover the effectiveness of the surprise attack. ”

"Tanma is disguised."

"The morale of the routs will collapse, and our army's scouts will be disguised again, and there will be differences in the details."

"The horses sent are all veterans."

"If you meet an officer in the Tartar and ask about the ownership of the establishment, no matter how experienced you are, you will be speechless." He did his best to stop it, and said, "General, although Zhang Jujing was defeated, most of the more than 30,000 defeated soldiers escaped, and Shijiabao gathered a little, and he was an elite soldier. The general rushed to attack, and the last general was afraid of change. ”

"Even if it is closed, the generals of the defeated army will have low morale and will not be able to fight a battle."

"General, please think again."

Deng She smiled, changed the topic, and said, "It's good that your ministry can arrive in time." What is the situation in Luyang? ”

"From time to time, there are scouts of the Tartars spying around, and other than that, everything is peaceful. Guangning will not go down, and the Tartars will not fight Luyang. ”

"The news of the fall of Yiju and the subsequent recapture of our army, I expect Pan Ren to know soon. How would he react, you say? ”

"Or come and take over. or hold on to the city. ”

"If he were a wise general, he wouldn't divide his troops to come and take over. If he wants to come to take over the defense, you can ask him to camp outside the city, and he is not allowed to enter the city for half a step. Deng She turned around and looked at Li Ye with a bright look. Pan Cheng's combat power is too low, and he must hand over the rear to himself to rest assured.

If you want to talk about the combat power of Pan Cheng's department, he knew before that compared with Guan Duo and Sha Liu Er's elite soldiers, Pan Cheng's department is indeed a little messy, but the combat power is not low to this level.

If you want to fight the capital and Liaodong at the beginning, you should be one of the main forces that you deserve, and you can be called brave. The reason why it declined so quickly, Deng She was not in his army, it is difficult to know the reason, but he has made guesses, and it is estimated that he will not engage in battle for several months, and Pan Cheng is not strict in governing the army, and the soldiers are slack.

Deng She accentuated his tone and admonished: "Remember, whether I go to fight Wuping or Daning, Yizhou is my support. Without Yizhou, my cavalry would have gone deep behind enemy lines, and would have become a lone army, bound to be surrounded by Tartars on all sides, unable to advance or retreat, and a dead end. If you defend Yizhou, you keep the passage with Liaozuo and Liaoyang, and you protect my lifeline, understand? ”

Li Ye held his head high and replied generously: "The last general will be born, and Yizhou is here." The end will be dead, and Uiju is here. ”

Deng She nodded: "Since Liu Pingzhang entered Yizhou, there has been war and chaos nearby, and the residents are sparse. Yesterday, a rough count of the population of the city was in the early 10,000s. General Tong drove them to repair the city gate and city wall, you hurry up and rest, tomorrow, you will be in charge of this matter. ”

Li Ye agreed.

While speaking, Yang Wanhu walked in.

Li Ye was born as a horse thief, and the two of them didn't deal much with each other, so they nodded to each other to say hello. Yang Wanhu said: "General Yu, before Zhang Jujing's escape, he burned down the granary treasury, and our army couldn't rescue it, and captured the heavy battalion from Zhang Jujing's army, and the statistics in my camp were clear, totaling 4,000 stones. ”

The commander of the embassy department and the establishment of the Wanhu Mansion are the same, there is also a town and pacification department, there are two members of the town and appeasement, and the officers who serve are all selected by Deng She himself, do not value force, the first choice is loyalty, and then be careful, and its responsibilities are: to implement the instructions of the superiors for the consensus of the soldiers, and to organize the meeting to remember the bitterness and think about the sweet.

Four thousand stone grains, a lot, tens of thousands of catties. Can't stop the military horses. Deng She cavalry 20,000, Li Ye infantry 10,000 soldiers, you can save some in peacetime, you can't go hungry in battle, even people and horses, two or three days will be consumed.

Deng She asked Li Ye: "How much grain do you bring?" ”

"Hurry day and night, and the soldiers are lightly armed. In addition to the necessary ordnance to defend the city, the amount of grain and grass is only for three days. ”

The foot soldiers brought three days' provisions, and the cavalry brought more for five days. The food of the cavalry was not managed in a unified manner, unlike the foot soldiers, who brought their own food. One bag of dry food per person, to be attached to the body or to a horse. The fried noodles in it are not heavy, and when they are fried, they can be eaten with water, which is convenient and very hungry.

Deng She said: "Order Haizhou, ask Zhao Guo to send grain over." ”

In a few words, he arranged all the matters of receiving and defending. In order to wait for Li Ye, Deng She didn't sleep all night, and at this time he became sleepy and yawned. Yang Wanhu took the initiative to leave, Li Ye wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't bear it, picked up the old words, and said: "General, attacking Daning is a big matter, and you must not ...... it."

Deng She waved his hand and said, "I know it in my heart, you go down." While you have free time, first familiarize yourself with the terrain around the city and take measures to defend the city. You need to guard against the Tartars not giving up and then counterattacking. ”

Li Ye didn't dare to persuade again, so he bowed and retreated.

……

Quang Ninh front, Yuan Marshal Tent.

Since the start of the war, Pan Cheng's troops have been defeated and retreated, losing two outlying towns one after another, and the city of Quang Ninh is in sight. It should be said that the progress of the Yuan army is not slow, because in addition to the peripheral towns, Pan Cheng still has thirteen company camps based on the mountains and rivers, with thousands of people and a few hundreds, and there are very few left.

However, the first and the same were not satisfied with the situation of the battle.

"The January deadline is coming soon, can our army take Quang Ninh within a month?" He asked himself, "In the eyes of this official, it is absolutely impossible!" How do you explain to the Holy One? It's not a pity for you and me to die, the situation in Liaodong has been eroded to this point, after death, how can I explain to the following ancestors in Huangquan? Immortal Heaven is above, don't you adults feel ashamed? ”

The king said, "Don't be anxious. The king has written a memora, sent a fast horse to the Beijing division, explained the battle situation in detail, and asked the saint to give him a little more time, and the way of using troops is to be cautious and not to rush forward. You must know that Guangning City is easy to fight, sweep Pan Chengbu's company camp outside the city, and attack the city. The problem is that the Liaoyang military horses stationed behind the city of Guangning, known as 300,000, must be guarded against. ”

He looked at the generals and said, "Generals, what is the best plan?" ”

"The last general thinks that in order to solve the Liaoyang military horses, the first thing is to judge their reality and reality."

"Oh? How can you tell? ”

"Again, I am judging why Xiao Deng appeared in Yizhou."

The generals thought so.

Zhang Jujing beat Yizhou, they knew, because this was an order for the bag. So, why did Nang give this order? It's a long story. In short, Dunsher facilitated. Because, they misjudged Deng She's intention to ask Pan Cheng for food.

Pan Cheng believed that Deng She's purpose in asking for food was to take the opportunity to delay. The judgment of Nangjiaba is the same as that of him.

He analyzed Deng She's past combat examples and summed up a commonality, that is, Deng She is extremely good at patience, and at the same time good at manipulating fighters. Before the arrival of the fighter plane, he could endure in every possible way; As soon as the fighter arrived, in a fleeting moment, he was able to decisively go out of the army.

For example: He fought Liaozuo, first endured Guan Duo's difficulties, and then took advantage of Naha's exit to compete with Guan Duo's two tigers. He fought Liaoyang, first endured Qian Shide's poisoning and civil strife, and then took advantage of Guan Duo to fight with miscellaneous brands. Pan Cheng's aides thought that Deng She was "patient and unrelated", and he thought that Deng She was "patient and decisive".

Since he "endures and decisively", he is not given the opportunity to be "decisive".

At that moment, Nang Jia urgently ordered Zhang Jujing, urging him to speed up the pace of attacking Yizhou, break Yizhou, attack Deng She's left flank, and threaten Li Yeying on the Luyang side and the Haizhou Inspection Division. As long as Deng She dared to be "decisive", the Yuan army in western Liaoxi could go down from Yizhou to Liaozuo and fight Liaoyang.

As for Deng She's words about hyping up the front line of Quang Ninh in the near future, he said in the words of Nangjia: "Pretending to be a show that I am just a hypocrisy." ”

Unexpectedly, Deng She actually appeared in Yizhou!

Nang Jia pondered and said: "Calculating the route, Xiao Deng should have sent out one to two days in advance, otherwise Yizhou would not have been broken, and he would have appeared outside the city." He is not an immortal, and he does not have the skills of an unpredictable prophet. So, his original purpose must not be Yizhou, where is it not Yizhou? ”

"After he left the army, he went west, and the purpose would not be in my main force, and the general would infer that his original purpose was set in Wuping and Huihe."

Someone agreed: "Not bad. Visiting the Malay newspaper, about because his whereabouts were exposed, he had already made a big announcement in Yizhou, saying that he was going to attack Wuping and Huihe. ”

"Didn't he also make a big deal about beating my main force? Xiao Deng is treacherous, and his words cannot be trusted. ”

"Shi Jiabao sent someone to report that from the defeated army that had been gathered, several of Deng She's fine works had been discovered. He pretended not to know, sent someone to follow, and saw that those few fine works seemed to want to blend into Daning. Wang Ye, Xiao Deng entered the first battle of Goryeo, and he used the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and made a gesture to attack the Po Sa Inspection Division and other places, but in fact, he sneaked hundreds of miles and fought in the twin cities. ”

"You mean?"

"The last general thinks that Xiao Deng is still using the sound to attack the west this time, he may have wanted to fight Wuping and Huihe, but now that there is no miracle effect of the sneak attack, he will not fight hard, maybe he will repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, secretly Chencang, and fight Daning instead."

"What if Daning's fine work was deliberately discovered by Shi Jiabao? Fiction is real, reality is virtual. How do you know which way Xiao Deng is virtual and which way is real? ”

When the generals talked about military affairs, they didn't say a word. He didn't understand, and after listening to it for a long time, he suddenly said: "There are not only Wuping and Huihe in the west, but also the Weisi Supervision Department in Yizhou, where our army's grain and grass are stored, is it possible for Xiao Deng to fight anywhere?" ”

Yizhou is located in the north and west of Guangning, opposite Wuping, and is one hundred and forty or fifty miles away from the main camp of the Yuan army.

"Impossible. Wuping to Yizhou, more than 300 miles, Xiao Deng wants to fight Yizhou, will not pass through Yizhou. Moreover, Yizhou is in my hinterland, and there are heavy troops along the way, which is not as good as Wuping. Even if Xiao Deng has a heart, he is powerless. ”

Analysis comes and goes, and it is not clear what Deng She's intentions are.

Sang Jialu made a decision: "Instead of guessing, it is better to take the initiative." Yizhou can't use it, and Naha is out. He ordered Daning, Huihe and other places to be on strict guard, and ordered Naha to organize the three armies and enter the Liaoyang defense area on the same day, and must fight under the city of Liaoyang within three days to force Deng She to turn back. ”

"Lord Wang, it's difficult."

Stunned, he scratched his ears and suspected that he had misheard: "What? ”

"Naha went out to fight Liaoyang, the surrounding tribes and tribesmen were killed and injured a lot, the patriarchs were asking him for money and food, he was anxious, and he hit Liaoyang City in three days, and there was little hope."

"How can this be true? Is the patriarch elder, or is the holy decree great? This king has the right to cut first and then play, tell Naha to come out, set Liaoyang first, and talk about the rest later. Those who do not follow, chop. ”

The generals received the order and asked, "What about Guangning?" ”

Nang Jia glanced at the wooden-faced Yehu first, and said, "Increase the intensity of the attack and strive to break the city in ten days." ”

1. Bag plus gang.

There is the name of this person in the history books, and there is only one place, that is, in the nineteenth year of Zhizheng, he ordered "the king to add a gang, Zhongshu Pingzhang political affairs Buddha family slave, also do not spend first, know the Privy Council affairs black donkey, etc., and lead the Tanma Red Army to march to Liaoyang".

It is said that this bag is evil, that is, the Taiwei barbarian of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty. The barbarian has participated in many battles with the Ming Dynasty, and in the twenty-first year of Hongwu, he was killed in the battle of Yuerhai.

There are many Mongolians with the same name; Due to the basic transliteration, the notes of the people of the time, including the Yuan history, often have different names for the same person, and even mistaken for two people, "Lie Biography or One Person and Two Transmissions". If you add some paraphrases, it is even more difficult to distinguish.
