——

After the departure of Beli Hutai, the sixth day.

The selected troops were drawn out of the camp one by one, escorted by people, and drove to Gaeju and Pyongyang, and most of them went to Pyongyang. There are few people who go to Gaizhou, only about 2,000 people, and the location of Tuntian is set in Jin and Fuzhou, and these two places have the Tuntian garrison left by Meng Yuan. Fields, houses, and utensils are ready-made, and they can be put into use immediately with a little repair and supplementation.

Day 8.

Outside the city of Liaoyang, a Biao military horse came.

The first big flag, a big Lu character, the person who came was Lu Qianwu. Because he was born in the Mengyuan Armament Craftsman Lifting Division, and was familiar with the various procedures of weapon making, Deng She appointed him to the position of a thousand armies households, responsible for supervising the manufacture of firearms, mines, bows and arrows, and guns.

He came this time to replenish the equipment of the defenders of Liaoyang.

There were many large cars accompanying it, and the thick linoleum was covered on the top, which was waterproof and moisture-proof. The fire gun is better, the mines and these things can't be used if they are stained with water, the snow on the road is melting, and the mud is unbearable.

When Deng She heard the news, he greeted him outside the city.

In the first sentence, without asking about ordnance, he looked at Lu Qianwu with concern and said with a smile: "Tired, right?" See how much you have lost a lot. ”

Lu Qianwu stayed in the mountains for several months to open mines, or drilled in the manufacturing yard to smelt weapons, and under the wind and sun, smoke and fire, he became black and thin, compared to the big belly poop in the past, he was simply a different person. He said: "There is General Lao's condolences. The general fought Liaoyang, and his reputation was far away, and the general congratulated the general. ”

"It's all thanks to the soldiers' efforts."

Deng She's greatest advantage is that he is never greedy for credit. The successive civil strife between the Jurchens and Qian Shide made him remember a sentence, Yu and Tang sinned themselves, and their prosperity was also vigorous; The death of sinners is also sudden. Wise monarchs blame themselves and give credit to others, so they prosper quickly. The mediocre monarch blames others and is self-righteous, so they fall quickly.

followed Lu Qianwuyi up, and there was another person, a fat man riding a thin horse, named Liu Yang. Deng Sheda Gaizhou, Xu Ren lent Liu Yang to him, and finally brought it back to Shuangcheng. This time he came to Liaoyang, because of his relationship with Xu Ren, he was placed under house arrest and did not bring it. Now that the situation has calmed down, Xu Ren and others have surrendered, so they have brought him over.

Deng She's condolences are two, Liu Yang was originally a hundred households, Deng She promoted him to be a thousand households, gave soldiers to soldiers, genuine, treated him very sincerely, he was more happy. Now that the dust in Liaoyang has settled, Deng She has really become his superior, he is a little restrained, and he smiles honestly and simply.

He said: "The general didn't know that on the day the good news was transmitted back to Shuangcheng, there were no soldiers and people, and they were happy. Mr. Hong held a banquet for two days in a row to entertain the elders in the city. Mr. Wu made a big show of it, and specially allocated the money from the government treasury to Zhuzhou County, and everywhere there were lanterns and gongs and drums singing to celebrate. ”

The two cities had two civil strife in succession, and although there was an iron fist to calm down, the people's hearts were inevitably impetuous. Hong Jixun invited the leading figures in the city and Wu Henian to set up a stage with great fanfare, the two of them had different practices and the same purpose, hoping to win a big victory, calm the people's hearts, and dispel the thoughts of unscrupulous people.

When Deng She heard this, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It's the farming season, and it's good to be lively." He approached a car, drew his knife, cut the ropes that bound him, lifted the linoleum and mats that were heavily covered on it, and dozens of cans of mines were neatly arranged in front of him.

"How many did you bring?"

"There were only ten carts of mines, and five hundred muskets, most of which were bows, swords, and spears. In addition, according to the general's orders, some grain and grass were brought in. Lu Qianwu sighed and said, "To make mines and firearms, the craftsmen are very skilled, but the gunpowder is insufficient, and the scale of production cannot be expanded." ”

Deng She counted slightly, two or three in a jar, one car had more than 200 mines, and ten cars had more than 2,000. Huoji did not worry, and many were captured from Liaoyang, and his newly set up Shenji Battalion has been upgraded from 1,000 households to 10,000 households.

He asked: "Can't the fleets that go to Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang to trade buy gunpowder?" ”

"You can buy it, but Xiao Mao Pingzhang in Shandong, Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng and others in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all very strict, and they can only buy from some maritime merchants, not much."

Speaking of this, Lu Qianwu saw a group of carriages surrounded by soldiers and rushed up from the back of the convoy. He hurriedly urged away the military-funded vehicles blocking the road, met the carriage in three or two steps, and said to Deng She: "General, your family. He hugged the generals and said, "The families of the generals are also here." ”

Picking up the family members, saying that they would live and die with Liaoyang, it was not a matter of leaving with one shot. Deng She had good intentions, and this move was also to stabilize the hearts of the people of Liaoyang.

In front of everyone, Deng She didn't go to the car to greet him, and ordered him to be sent to the house. Except for Qing Qianxing, none of the generals had a formal marriage, and most of them were concubines. Deng She's concubines, in addition to Luo Guannu and Li Jixiu, and several princesses sent by the king of Goryeo were also among them.

"General Lu, how hard you have worked. Time is urgent, there is no time for you to rest, and when the handover of various materials is completed, immediately start laying mines. In the direction of Guangning, there will be more distribution, and those in Shenyang can be appropriately reduced. In addition to laying mines, I arranged for someone to dig the trap by hand, etc., and you will be responsible for it. ”

"Yes, the last general will start in the afternoon."

Deng She smiled: "There is no hurry. It's been a long time since I've seen your brother, right? He's in the camp now helping with the drill and the pawns, so you can go and meet him first. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. "Lu Qianwu's younger brother, Lu Qianxi, the current commander of Duliaodu.

Watching the military funds enter the city, Deng She then inspected the progress of the repair of the city gate and the city wall, and then met with several provincial civil officials who had something to report at the head of the city, dealt with many urgent matters, and returned to the palace at night. Luo Guannu, Li Jixiu and others knelt down to welcome the dormitory, Deng She chatted with them for a few words, but he was not in the mood, so he sent them out, turned up his military books and notes, compared them with the map of Liaoyang, and pondered how to deal with them if there was a war.

It wasn't until the third watch that it rested.

……

After the departure of Beli Hutai, the tenth day.

Sha Liu Er's first batch of military horses arrived on time, and the first batch was tentative, with a small number of people, three or four thousand, and an establishment of 10,000 households. From western Liaoning to Gaizhou, he passed through three different defense areas along the way. First Pan Cheng, then Liaoyang, and then Gaizhou.

Because Sha Liu Er didn't come, Deng She didn't go to greet him, he met the envoy, and then sent Qing Qianxing to come forward, one to express his welcome, and escort the grain and grass for support; The second is to assist in colluding with Gaizhou. Half of the ships that carried the soldiers across the sea were collected on the spot, and half were transferred from Pyongyang.

"Over there in Shandong, has Liu Pingzhang been contacted?"

Sha Liu Er's envoy said: "There are two generals, Wang Shicheng and Xu Jizu, and Shandong is easy to say." Among the soldiers who crossed the sea, there were guides sent by Marshal Wang. ”

It seems that Sha Liu Er really took a hard time, Deng She promised to give way so far, but it is only ten days, and from Liaoxi to Shandong, whether it is Liaoxi, or Jin, Fuzhou, ten days is not enough time for a round trip. Sha Liu Er must have contacted Wang Shicheng and continued to follow his ancestors a long time ago.

"Liu Pingzhang is loyal to the country, which really makes my generation look up and admire."

Liu Pingzhang has a saying that he will bring to the general, and he will not forget the general's loyalty. When I meet the lord, I will tell you the ins and outs of the matter in detail. The messenger said in an aggravated tone, "Please rest assured, the general, right and wrong, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people." ”

Who said that Sha Liu Er was loyal and coarse? He is loyal, but not straightforward. The meaning of this messenger's words is clear, what is the ins and outs? What does it mean to talk in detail? What does justice mean in the hearts of the people? Why did he accentuate his tone? To put it bluntly, Deng She won too many benefits when he conquered Liaoyang, and he gave too little half-moon grain and grass, and Sha Liu Er was very dissatisfied.

Deng She said: "Lord Pingzhang's kindness, thank you very much." How is the lord now? ”

"It has been found out in many ways, and the lord is now safe." King Xiao Ming and Liu Futong started an incident, first set the capital of Bozhou, and later Polo Timur's father replied that Badulu defeated Liu Futong in Taikang, and besieged Bozhou, and King Xiao Ming moved the capital to Anfeng. Liu Futong laid down Bianliang and officially established the capital.

It can be said that Anfeng is the starting point of King Xiaoming, and the local red scarf is very strong. Deng She said: "If Liu Pingzhang wants to go to Anfeng, he needs to pass through Shandong and Henan. Chakhan Timur only got Henan, and the last general heard that he was strong and wanted to go to Shandong, and Liu Pingzhang took away from his territory, which was not easy. What is needed, though. ”

The messenger took a list out of his sleeve and handed it to Dun She.

Deng She took it, and at a general glance, Sha Liu Er had a lot of appetite. Half a month's grain and grass becomes half a year. Under the grain and grass, there were clear columns: 1,500 firearms, 50 cannons, and 5,000 taels of silver. A certain amount of money, a certain amount of armor, a number of spears, a number of bows and arrows, and a number of supplementary soldiers.

Deng She couldn't help but smile and said, "Liu Pingzhang seems to be very familiar with Liaoyang's family background. "Sha Liu Er has doubled the things he wanted, basically everything he seized.

"Familiar don't dare. If the general has difficulties, he might as well say it directly. "The messenger is very simple. There is a way that is good at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom. What kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, from which you can also get a glimpse of Sha Liu Er's character.

Deng She said: "Serve the country loyally, and it is the duty of a courtier." Liu Pingzhang has a long way to go, not to mention these things, even if he wants to take out all his family funds, it doesn't matter. But there is one, I wonder if Lord Pingzhang and the envoy have thought about it? ”

"Please."

As soon as Liu Pingzhang went, he took tens of thousands of elites with him, and Liaodong was suddenly empty. What should Nahachu, Wei Sijian, Zhang Jujing, and Shijiabao do if they want to take the opportunity to start a war? Although the last general will not retreat, he will try his best to deal with it, and the number of victories and defeats can be between. It doesn't matter if the last general dies in battle, he is loyal to the lord and shrouded in horse leather, which is the duty of our soldiers.

"I don't know if Lord Pingzhang has ever thought that if Liaodong can't be saved, Anfeng's pressure will increase."

"What do you mean by that?"

"If Liaodong falls, the Tartars will no longer have any worries. Hundreds of thousands of military horses from Liaoxi, Shenyang, and Wei Sijian, or by sea, cooperated with Chakhan Timur to attack Shandong; Or go to Liaoxi, pass through the Central Plains and attack Anfeng; Liaodong and Shandong are lost, and Anfeng is a lonely city, how can it be enough to protect itself?

"On today's general trend, if Anfeng is the hinterland, then Liaodong and Shandong are the wings. With Liaodong in my hands, the Tartars have to garrison Liaoxi and Shanxi to prevent us from entering the customs from outside the fortress. With Shandong in my hands, the Tartars have to prepare elite Henan and Hebei to prevent me from attacking the capital.

"In a word, there is no north without south. Our Emperor Song can be the barrier of the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the barrier of our Emperor Song is not in Anfeng, but in Liaodong and Shandong. ”

The messenger smiled and said, "Liu Pingzhang has an explanation, we are asking for a sky-high price, and the general can pay it back on the spot." ”

Deng She had never dealt with Sha Liu Er, and when he heard the confession of the messenger, he was stunned. I thought it would take a lot of talk, but at the moment he couldn't help laughing, and said: "The Grain and Grass Committee can't add it, and Lord Pingzhang also knows that the war in Liaodong has been in turmoil for a long time, most of the farmland is deserted, and the harvest is not enough to supply the daily life of the army." Shandong is rich, please go to Shandong to think of more ways. ”

The messenger simply agreed, saying, "Okay." What about the firebolt? ”

"Many of the firecrackers seized from Liaoyang have been destroyed, and the last general also needs to keep some for his own use to prevent Naha from leaving. Fifteen hundred can't be taken out, so five hundred. "The total number of people seized in the city is more than 2,000 intact, and Deng She is reluctant to give more. Lu Qianwu only sent 500 sticks yesterday, but it didn't arrive.

"Good. And what about artillery? ”

"Defending the city, you can't do it without artillery. Twenty statues. ”

"Good. What about silver? ”

"Two thousand taels."

"Good. What about money? ”

The two of them talked all the way, and the amount of support for various materials was a certain amount. Best, the question of replenishing the non-commissioned officers was discussed. Deng She was quite embarrassed, he himself was not enough, how could he supplement Sha Liu Er? What Sha Liu Er wanted, they must all be elite pawns, and giving some eliminated ones made him angry in vain, as if he was playing with him.

It's better not to give.

If you don't give it, you can't do it, compared to materials, the tens of thousands of soldiers are the greatest wealth. Sha Liu Er will dislike a lot of things, and he will not dislike a lot of veterans who can fight well. The messenger said: "The news of the general's reorganization of tens of thousands of Liaoyang troops has reached Liu Pingzhang's ears. Knowing the difficulties of the general, Liu Pingzhang didn't ask for much, 5,000 people. ”

20,000 soldiers, 5,000 accounting for a quarter. Deng She felt as if a piece of meat had been stripped of him, he inhaled cold air and said, "Five thousand? ”

"What? Too many generals? ”

Dunshe stood up and spun around, unable to make a decision. Sha Liu Er saw King Xiao Ming and poured dirty water on himself, and King Xiao Ming issued an order to reprimand himself for rebellion. What will happen? Deng She thought about it again and again, Pan Cheng was determined to pull up the tiger skin as a banner, it didn't matter.

How will Shandong Xiaomao Pingzhang react? The two Zhejiang provinces are too far away, and Shandong is the most important to trade. The caravan easily borrowed Mrs. Wang's line and caught up with Wang Shicheng, and the trade volume with Shandong skyrocketed in a few months. After he got Guan Duo's treasure house, he specially selected a few pieces and sent someone to give them to Wang Shicheng.

To lose this Shandong, an ally, the loss is too great. As far as this winter is concerned, the reason why various cold-proof materials are well prepared is because of Shandong, and a large number of cotton cloths and cotton clothes have been purchased from Shandong.

Of course, Shandong may not take care of King Xiaoming's holy decree, because it has made money. Moreover, Chakhan Timur may soon send troops to Shandong, and Shandong will be in chaos, and the holy decree of King Xiao Ming will no longer be important, and he can continue to trade. But Deng She was not sure and was not sure.

Going back, if King Xiao Ming's holy decree arrives in Liaodong and Pan Cheng makes a big announcement, what will the generals under his command and the soldiers of the full camp think? Just like when he beat Guan Duo, Pan Cheng immediately stood on the moral side. When it comes to Lu Bu, people think of the three family slaves; When Cao Cao is mentioned, people think of white-faced traitors. The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the bad reputation are not good for future development.

Xu Shouhui's subordinates have two generals, one is named Deng Keming and the other is Rao Dingchen.

Deng She had heard of their great names, because of the indiscipline of the royal public, they were poisonous, one was nicknamed Deng Thief, and the other was nicknamed Rao Daring. Let's ask, if he Deng She also has a similar notoriety, will Hong Jixun and Yang Wanhu come to him? Fang Buzhen and Xu Ren, will they surrender easily?

"The Liaoyang Army has just been reorganized, so it's better to hand it over to Liu Pingzhang. It's just that Liu Pingzhang has to march for a long time, and he is afraid that he will not have time to practice. If something changes, it's not beautiful. I will immediately transfer the garrisons in Gaizhou and other places and hand them over to Lord Pingzhang. Deng She was reluctant, he couldn't help but ask, "Three thousand people?" ”

The messenger laughed and said, "Good." ”

Deng She treats him sincerely, what to say, what he gives is the maximum, and he doesn't play tricks. He also returned the favor and did not do much blackmail. He said: "The recital presented to the lord by Lord Pingzhang has been written in advance, is the general interested in reading the matter of Pingzhangguan in the former Liaoyang Province?" ”

A sentence of "original" Liaoyang Province Pingzhangguan, Sha Liu Er's attitude is fully expressed.

Deng Sheruo, like Guan Duo, has the heart of self-reliance and separation, and will not give him whatever he wants. In troubled times, no one is willing to be caught. Guan Duo's rejection of dissidents was experienced by Sha Liu Er. What he did to Deng She, Sha Liu Er watched coldly, and he really saw it.

Sending Yao Haogu and Qian Shide to Goryeo, placing surveillance, and Deng She's welcome, it is not unpleasant. If you want Deng She to enter Liaoyang, Deng She will come, which is not disrespectful. If you want Deng She to go to Dongmu Mountain and fall into the trap of Naha, Deng She will go, which is not disrespectful. Essentially! Deng She did his best to be benevolent and righteous, although he attacked Gaizhou and did not save Liaoyang, which is understandable. After all, he didn't do it, and gave Mao Jujing and others the opportunity to return to the teacher in time.

And Guan Duo covered up and killed Liu Daqing, and everyone was not guilty and sentenced, who will be next? The generals of Liaodong are all in danger.

All in all, Dunshe may have selfish intentions as well as public intentions. Guan Duo must have selfish intentions, but no public heart, no master in his eyes, and should be killed. Naturally, Sha Liu Er will not pay attention to Deng She because of this, Deng She unfolded his twists and turns, about to write to King Xiao Ming, the writing is much more elegant.

Referring to the part of his dispute with Guan Duo, he wrote:

"Guan Duo killed Liu Daqing and others, but Deng Sheti trapped Liaoyang. Liaoyang Road passes, the minister borrows the road to cover the state, sails and floats in the sea, so that there is today's Qianli Qin King. ”

Pure and objective attitude, did not say bad things about Guan Duo, did not say good things about Deng She. Savor it, there are two unusual places. Why did Guan Duo kill Liu Daqing and others, and why did Deng She fall into Liaoyang because of this. Why did Deng give up Liaoyang, Liaoyang Road was passed, and Sha Liu Er could take advantage of Gaizhou to aid Anfeng?

The meaning is self-evident.
