Chapter 123: The Change of Self (20)
There is no need for Yuan Chonghuan to explain, they all know why the marshal would give such an order? The garrison guarding the head of the Guangqu Gate poured out of the nest and killed the Houjin army one after another, and the city gate was opened again. If you and others follow suit now, Guangqumen will be equivalent to a defensive gap. Once a Houjin army suddenly comes and controls Guangqumen, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Despite knowing this truth, Zu Dashou couldn't help but complain: "Made, what a fucking bunch of fools, want to make meritorious contributions and want to go crazy!" If the capital is lost, it's all fucking dead! ”
Wang Chengyin was also very dissatisfied, full of complaints, and after sending the deputy general to restore the formation, he also complained: "Damn, we have exerted so much strength, lost so many troops, and killed this group of Tartars." The group of bastards who defended the city really took advantage of it, but they just gave artillery support, and now they will take the credit. Day, what's even more shameless is that they actually pushed the responsibility that originally belonged to them to us, what a fucking shame, a bunch of dog day stuff! ”
However, Yuan Chonghuan didn't seem to hear these words, but he was observing the surviving Guanning Iron Cavalry. Although he is still high-spirited, majestic, and high-spirited, it is difficult to hide the tiredness.
For more than a month, the 20,000 Guanning Iron Horsemen either rushed to help, or their nerves were in a tense state, and most of the time they slept in the wilderness, eating and sleeping poorly. Yuan Chonghuan knew that these soldiers were already on the verge of physical limits, too tired to work, and urgently needed a place to rest and replenish their supplies.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan was ruthless, so he secretly made a decision. Although this decision was risky, the chances of success were slim and the emperor would be suspicious.
Two days later, although the city of Beijing was filled with a faint joy after winning the battle, it was still tense, and the city gates were all closed and tightly closed.
In the morning, at the Guangqu Gate, huge hanging baskets floated down from the city wall, and finally docked at the base of the wall. As soon as they landed, Yuan Chonghuan and the others got into the basket one after another, sat there steadily, and waited for the soldiers at the head of the city to pull them up.
At the same time, this scene was also staged at Deshengmen, and some generals entered the capital through this method.
Soon after, on the platform of the Forbidden City, there was a table of banquets, and many generals were listed as the second, among which the generals of the Battle of Deshengmen and the Battle of Guangqumen were the mainstays, and the young Emperor Chongzhen sat upright, with a radiant look between his eyebrows.
Obviously, the great victory of Guangqumen made Emperor Chongzhen's mood very good, and his frowning expression turned into a dark cloud and disappeared, raising his glass to Yuan Chonghuan and others, and said loudly: "Hehe... Inspector Yuan, General Soldier Zu, and General Soldier Wang, you fought well in Guangqumen, and you dealt a fierce blow to the sharp spirit of the Tartar army, and gave me a bad breath! Come, I toast you! ”
Throughout the ages, I have only heard of the emperor giving wine, toasting is unheard of, the last words of Emperor Chongzhen can be called the great glory of Guanning Iron Cavalry, Yuan Chonghuan and others are very useful.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan raised his glass and was about to reply, Dai Chengen, who was sitting on the side, drank all the wine in his hand, with a proud spring breeze on his face, and said with a big sting: "Your Majesty, those Tartars are nothing at all, they have no combat power, they are simply vulnerable." The last general led the city defense army to kill him, and the cavalry of the Houjin army was nothing more than that, and that reckless Gurtai was just in vain. ”
Yuan Chonghuan's expression was very calm, but Zu Dashou pouted, and just wanted to disdain to tear down Cheng En's face, but Yuan Chonghuan glared back fiercely, and was warned not to talk nonsense.
Led by Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Hou Shilu and others, they may not believe Dai Chengen's words, and feel that they are simply bragging and asking for credit for themselves, and they do not realize the true combat power of the Houjin Army at all.
However, Yuan Chonghuan didn't care about this, Dai Chengen's words hit his heart, ignited a certain idea in his heart, but instead set his eyes on Yuan Chonghuan, and said loudly: "Yuan Aiqing, taking advantage of the defeat of Huang Taiji, when are you going to take the initiative?" Defeated the Houjin army and drove them back to the gates. ”
At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan only felt bitter in his mouth, and there were bitter words in his heart, especially when he saw Emperor Chongzhen's fist, he was very much looking forward to it. However, the real situation made Yuan Chonghuan have to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, within twenty days, it is not the time for the army to take the initiative to attack. ”
Suddenly, Yuan Chonghuan's expression collapsed and became cloudy, but he still said softly: "Yuan Aiqing, why do you say that?" According to the results reported by Dai Dusi, in the battle of Guangqumen two days ago, the number of dead and wounded in the Houjin army alone retreated into the glacier was several thousand. After the first battle, Mang Gurtai lost at least about 20,000 troops. ”
It's okay not to mention this, but when this is mentioned, Zu Dashou and others are suffocated in their chests, angry, and even more hateful and disdainful of Dai Chengen. This girl is also too shameless, not only recklessly went out of the city that day, abandoned the safety of Guangqumen, but only knew how to blindly grab credit, this girl actually boasted to people in the past two days, saying that the victory of Guangqumen was the credit of their city defense battalion.
The most annoying thing is that Dai Chengen, this guy, actually boasted to others that the Houjin army was vulnerable, saying how the combat strength of the Liao soldiers was, and Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry was to take the salary for nothing and eat white rice.
Therefore, Zu Dashou, Wang Chengyin and others have long endured their anger, and they are angry when they see Dai Chengen. However, Yuan Chonghuan's lack of anger and self-authority, and the majesty formed in their hearts, were a good deterrent to their attacks.
Yuan Chonghuan's heart was not holding back a nameless fire? However, with his overall view and the next request, Yuan Chonghuan could only pretend to be calm, and did not poke at Cheng En's true face.
These thoughts were just a matter of a moment, as soon as Chongzhen's words fell, Yuan Chonghuan felt the gaze of Man Gui and Hei Yunlong and others, of course he knew the meaning of these gazes, and he thought so in his heart.
Although he had already seen Chongzhen's unhappiness, Yuan Chonghuan still had to say: "Your Majesty, in the battle of Guangqumen, although our army annihilated about 20,000 enemies. However, we have also lost a lot of troops. The most important thing is that even if 20,000 soldiers and horses are lost, Huang Taiji still has at least 50,000 to 60,000 people in his hands, which is far from the time when our army started a frontal battle. ”
The proud Dai Chengen has forgotten who he is, and only knows how to please Chongzhen and blindly cater to him. Before Yuan Chonghuan's words were finished, he couldn't wait to interject: "Lord Yuan, according to the big one, even if Huang Taiji still has 70,000 troops. However, don't forget, the imperial court's garrison in Beijing, plus your Guanning Iron Cavalry and various reinforcements, the total strength is at least more than 200,000, and it can't defeat the 70,000 people in the Huang Taiji District? ”
As soon as Dai Chengen's words were finished, two words popped up in the minds of most generals at the same time: "Idiot~!" ”
Zu Dashou couldn't help it for a long time, and immediately retorted: "Dai Dusi, I want to ask you, in a decisive battle with Huang Taiji, if you put all your troops into it, who will guard the safety of the Jingshi?" Let me ask you again, how many cavalry are there with all the reinforcements combined? And the most important point, does Huang Taiji just listen to you and choose the two armies against each other, hard against hard? ”
In an instant, Zu Dashou had a feeling of refreshment, looked at Dai Chengen, and couldn't help but mock: "When you meet people, you say that the Tartars are vulnerable and not your opponent in Jingying." In that case, why bother with all the troops? You directly led the Beijing camp to kill Huang Taiji, and guaranteed to kill them back to Liaodong, why bother? ”
Dai Chengen was suddenly so angry that his face turned pale, and when he heard Zu Dashou's words, Chongzhen also calmed down a lot. Seeing the tension between the two, he immediately became a peacemaker: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about this matter today." Wait until all the Qinwang troops from all over the country have arrived, and then it is not too late to negotiate. ”
Immediately afterwards, after a burst of wine and food and greetings, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly walked out of his seat, knelt straight there, knelt on the platform, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a request for something, and I hope that the Holy Lord will allow it?" ”
Everyone was stunned, confused by Yuan Chonghuan's actions, and at the same time looked at Emperor Chongzhen to see what the latter said?
"Yuan Aiqing, what is the matter? It is worthy of you to be so solemn and make such a big salute, get up first, and discuss with me slowly. ”
At this time, a eunuch came over and wanted to help Yuan Chonghuan up, but he heard the latter say: "Your Majesty, Weichen requests, I hope that the Guanning Iron Cavalry can follow the example of the Manchu General Army, temporarily take refuge in the city, and let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and replenish their supplies." ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, everyone was very shocked, and a voice came out of their hearts at the same time: "This Yuan Chonghuan is too bold, he is simply arrogant!" The dignified Jiliao Governor is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, doesn't Yuan Chonghuan know that the imperial court has clear regulations? King Qin's reinforcements are not allowed to enter the city, they can only fight outside the city, what do you Yuan Chonghuan want to do? ”
People who have a good relationship with Yuan Chonghuan are secretly sweating for him, and this is too bold! Mo said that the Jingshi was still there, even if it was precarious, it was impossible for any emperor to let King Qin's reinforcements enter the city.
For a while, the atmosphere on the platform suddenly became tense, the silence was terrifying, everyone sat there honestly, and they didn't even dare to gasp.
I'm sorry, I'm in the field, so I can only change it alone!
