Chapter 157: Disaster Comes from the Mouth
Don't say it, Wu Shigong's Qinwang army is getting more and more morale. Although there is a lot of civil engineering work to be done every day when camping, in addition, the daily march is to walk such a small distance, so the physical strength of the soldiers is not very tired.
In addition, because the supply of grain and grass is very abundant, I can eat enough every day. There are also after-entertainment programs that can scold the city officials along the way. If it weren't for the possibility of a war with the Tartar army, this expedition could have been a winter camp.
But happy times are always short-lived. Wu Shigong's Qinwang army stopped and walked like this for more than two months, but it was still some distance away from Tongzhou, the meeting place of Qinwang's army.
But one day, while the soldiers were camping, a fast horse came in at a gallop. The soldier on the horse was none other than a spy sent by Wu Shigong.
The spy entered the camp, jumped off his horse and galloped into the big tent, and said to Wu Shigong, "My lord, at a distance of thirty or forty miles to the northwest, I have found other spies moving. ”
Because Wu Shigong's current spies are all sent out in small teams, that is, in groups of ten. Therefore, the team's method of investigation is as follows: if it detects anything, it will first send a spy back to the camp to report. The other spies will continue to probe the situation. If anything new happens, another spy will be sent back......
The words of the spy, who had come back first to report the situation, immediately attracted everyone's attention. So, on the one hand, Wu Shigong asked the soldiers to step up the construction of the camp; On the other hand, Wu Shigong sent almost half of his cavalry to search in all directions to prevent an enemy from coming to raid. and to strangle all enemy spies who were about ten miles away from the camp.
Fortunately, the tension did not last long. Soon, Wu Shigong received a message from the second wave of returning spies: Wu Shigong's spies had already met with those spies. Those spies were also sent by the army of the Ming Dynasty, the army of King Qinwang of Sichuan.
As more and more spies came back, when they arrived in Zuihou, they even accompanied the spies to come over, leading a few pro-soldiers, and the liaison military attache sent by the army of King Qinwang of Sichuan.
The liaison military attaché's surname is Qin, and he is a thousand households. That Qin Qianhu saw Wu Shigong, and after being introduced by the spies on the side, he saluted Wu Shigong and said, "Wu Qianhu, we are the Qinwang army of the Shizhu Qin General Army. ”
Wu Shigong also returned a salute. However, because the Tartar army was still active in the pass, Wu Shigong did not relax his vigilance. In his previous life, in the limited history that Wu Shigong knew, he knew that the Qing soldiers entered the customs by Wu Sangui, a big traitor, who was put into Shanhaiguan. Now in the army of the Tartars, there are no traitors. In case this Qin Qianhu is impersonating, if Wu Shigong loses his vigilance here, he may suffer a big loss.
Therefore, although Qin Qianhu spoke Sichuanese, Wu Shigong still asked a question about Sichuan. When Wu Shigong watched the Sichuan football team play in his previous life, he kept hearing Sichuan fans say "Xiongqi", "Xiongqi", if that Qin Qianhu is really a Sichuan person, then he will definitely know the word "Xiongqi", which means "come on".
So, Wu Shigong smiled and said to Qin Qianhu: "Qin Qianhu, now the Tartar army is nearby. Don't blame Ben Qianhu for being too careful, I'm here to ask you a question about Sichuan. ”
Wu Shigong's caution is also what it should be. As an old military officer, Qin Qianhu is also very understanding. He smiled and replied, "Yes!" Yes! ”
Seeing that Qin Qianhu agreed, Wu Shigong asked, "What does 'Xiongqi' mean in your Sichuan dialect?" ”
Wu Shigong's question made Qin Qianhu very surprised. He looked at Wu Shigong's face and made sure that Wu Shigong was not joking, so he made up his mind and replied very seriously: "Wu Qianhu, in our Sichuan dialect, 'Xiongqi' means that a man's cock is hard. ”
Hearing Qin Qianhu's answer, all the people in the big tent were stunned, and then they all let out a burst of commotion. Wu Shigong scolded in his heart while daxiao: "It turns out that Sichuan fans use their men's ...... Come on! ”
However, such an answer, which sounded ridiculous, dispelled Wu Shigong's suspicions. Because the meaning of these two interpretations of "Xiongqi" sounds relatively close. And the Ming Dynasty didn't have cars and gas stations, where did the word "refueling" come from? Maybe the original meaning of "Xiongqi" is what Qin Qianhu said.
Let's get down to business. That Qin Qianhu was sent by the leading general of King Qin's army in Sichuan, the general army of Qin. The general soldier of Qin also got the news that his spies had come back to report and knew that Wu Shigong's army of King Qin was near him.
Therefore, she sent Qin Qianhu over to make contact, asking the armies of the two sides to move closer and Zuihou to merge into one place, so that the armies of the two sides could take care of each other.
From Qin Qianhu's mouth, Wu Shigong knew that the army of King Qin of Sichuan had more than 6,700 people, and they also rushed over from Sichuan non-stop after receiving the edict of King Qin issued by Emperor Chongzhen.
Speaking of which, we can see that even the Qinwang army in Sichuan has rushed over, and now they and Wu Shigong's Qinwang army have almost reached a position. It can be seen from this that the speed of Wu Shigong's Qinwang army is like a turtle crawling.
Qin Zongbing's proposal was exactly what Wu Shigong wanted. If you can have friendly forces to take care of you, you will be much less dangerous. Therefore, Wu Shigong immediately agreed.
Seeing that Wu Shigong had already agreed, Qin Qianhu ignored Wu Shigong's retention and hurried back to his army without dinner. Before leaving, the two sides made an agreement: early tomorrow morning, the armies of the two sides will move together towards each other, and a county town about the same distance from the two sides will be used as the meeting point of the two sides.
After Qin Qianhu left, Deng Qifan, who was beside Wu Shigong, made a look of wanting to talk to Wu Shigong. Seeing Deng Qifan's expression, Wu Shigong waved his hand and let the others withdraw from the big tent.
When only Wu Shigong and Deng Qifan were left in the big tent, Deng Qifan reminded Wu Shigong: "My lord, when you meet General Qin tomorrow, you have to be cautious and don't say some slang like today in front of General Qin." ”
“weishenme?” Wu Shigong was reminded by Deng Qifan so seriously, Wu Shigong himself seemed to be such a trivial matter, and it was a little inexplicable.
Deng Qifan could only cough a few times, Deng Qifan felt a little sad because of the lack of learning and unskill of the people he assisted. So Deng Qifan then explained to Wu Shigong: "Then General Qin is a female general." ”
"Oh!" Wu Shigong understood now. It is indeed a little inappropriate to open a yellow cavity in front of a woman.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Wu Shigong felt that he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. Wu Shigong was twenty years old, young and vigorous. Although Wu Shigong is not particularly lustful, he has not touched a woman for two or three months after he set out on the expedition, and he is always a little sad.
In the past two or three months, because of the busy affairs in the army, Wu Shigong's forbearance has passed. But when he heard Deng Qifan say the words "female general" today, the wildfire in his heart burned fiercely.
This is also to blame for the online novels that Wu Shigong read in his previous life. In these novels, as long as she is a female general, she is always young and beautiful, bold and spicy, coupled with strong martial arts, she is a rouge tiger. How can Wu Shigong sleep now?
Don't mention Wu Shigong tossing and turning. That Qin General Soldier is the famous female general of the Ming Dynasty - Qin Liangyu. And the army of King Qin led by her was also the strong force of the Ming Dynasty - the white pole soldiers.
After Qin Liangyu set out from Sichuan to conquer King Qin, he also walked bumps and bumps along the way. Especially after entering Beizhili, she also encountered the same problems as Wu Shigong. The magistrate did not supply her army with food and grass.
And Qin Liangyu is relatively well-behaved, but in these years, those who abide by the rules will have to suffer, and her white pole soldiers will now also face the danger of running out of food.
Therefore, when she knew that there was Wu Shigong's friendly army nearby, she wanted to be united with Wu Shigong's army.
Qin Liangyu is experienced in a hundred battles, and she has achieved brilliant results, so she is very proud. And she learned from the spies' report that Wu Shigong's army of King Qin, Henan, was just an army made up of local military households, and the leader was only a thousand households, so she didn't take Wu Shigong's army to heart at all. He didn't want Wu Shigong's army to take care of his white pole soldiers with excellent combat effectiveness.
The main reason why Qin Liangyu proposed the integration of soldiers was that he wanted Wu Shigong's Qinwang army to allow some grain and grass for the white pole soldiers. In Qin Liangyu's opinion, he, the chief soldier of a single product, ordered a small thousand households, and it was not easy to capture!
I won't say much about those digressions. Anyway, the next day both sides came to a rapid march, and at dusk, finally at the agreed county seat, the two armies met.
After the meeting, the soldiers of both sides set up camp. And according to the rules, Wu Shigong, a military attache with a low rank, is going to meet Qin Liangyu, a military attache with a high rank.
Wu Shigong took dozens of personal soldiers into the camp of the white pole soldiers and came to the big tent where Qin Liangyu was. After the briefing, Wu Shigong entered the big tent.
Qin Liangyu sat behind the big case in the big tent, waiting for Wu Shigong's Jin to see him. Unexpectedly, after Wu Shigong entered the big tent, he did not kowtow to Qin Liangyu at all. It's just rude to poke his head out, and look at Qin Liangyu carefully.
Wu Shigong was trying to see Qin Liangyu, the rouge tiger. Because he had just entered the brightly lit tent from the darkness outside, Wu Shigong's eyes were not yet fully adaptable.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When Wu Shigong saw Qin Liangyu's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but shout: "Old woman! ”
Listening to Wu Shigong's voice, "Old woman! Qin Liangyu's willow eyebrows suddenly rose.
