336 War (III)
There was turmoil inside the Tartars, and the same was true in River State.
Xu Erlang received a letter from Tonghe for the third time in half a month, saying that he had intercepted and killed several groups of people with bad intentions.
Among them, there are ordinary people in the market, rich businessmen, doomsday maniacs who collect money to work for others, and there is even a lady in the inner house, and this one is still an official's internal dependent.
There is no doubt that these are the female trunks planted by the Tartars in River State. As a result, they did not come in handy, but they were directly damaged at this time.
But fortunately, Tonghe brought a lot of people after coming from the capital, and he has been vigilant against all movements in the house, and he is vigilant and jealous of the people who step into the boundary of the Zhizhou Mansion three hundred meters away, so that all threats can be eradicated before the outbreak of the situation, which protects the lives of Jin Niang and several children.
In fact, it is easy to say, but it is really not easy to do. For example, the lady who went to visit the inner house, her husband is also a six-grade Hezhou official. In the past, this lady was also Wei Jinniang's foresight, and she would not express her opinions easily, as if she was a very unassertive person. But such a woman actually wanted to stun Jinniang and let the maid replace her, which is not a big idea.
That is, Jin Niang is also very alert, and she has always been around people. Otherwise, if you think about it, you will find out that Jinniang disappeared after the fact, and it will be difficult to find it back.
There are so many things, in the final analysis, it is because Xu Erlang is too hateful now. His invulnerability makes people can only attack his wife and children, which is also something that cannot be helped.
But once or twice, Xu Erlang was unwilling to put Jinniang and the others in danger all the time. After these few tricks, some of the more threatening female cadres in Hezhou have been cleaned up, so that they can attract everyone's attention again.
Xu Erlang took advantage of the late night to go to the border again, and Chu Zhong didn't know what to say, and when the morning star on the horizon was about to brighten, he put on his cloak and got on his horse to prepare to leave.
It was at this time that Xu Erlang saw a patrolling general leading people around the side.
The youngster...... Something familiar.
Thinking about it carefully, it was not a small soldier who guarded the city gate in Hezhou before. This person is somewhat similar to Chu Zhong and Chu Suicheng, and he is on an errand at the gate of Hezhou City, so his identity is clear without much speculation. This must be Chu Zhong's son.
Xu Erlang's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Tiger fathers have no dogs, this is not false at all.
Chu Suiming's life experience he knows a little about it, such a rebellious and rebellious young man must be disdainful of inheriting Chu Zhong's power and family business. What's more, Chu Zhong is now in the quagmire, and it is difficult to protect himself, as the son who was expelled, Chu Suiming's guarding the city gate in Hezhou is undoubtedly another self-preservation. But now this person has appeared in the front-line barracks, which shows that the young man is bloody and has revenge, even if he still has a disagreement with his father, he will not cowardly escape in such a big event.
is a responsible one, but I hope that there will be a good creation in the future.
I don't know if Xu Erlang looked at it for a long time, Chu Suiming's original steps of leaving suddenly stopped, and later he greeted a group of soldiers behind him, and saw those people look back at Xu Erlang, and then saluted him, and left first.
Chu Suiming saw Xu Erlang riding his horse and preparing to leave, so he ran forward in three or two steps.
Spring has already begun in Hezhou, but the temperature is still a little cool at night. The young man's blood is hot, and even then he has to wrap his cloak, otherwise the deep cold will freeze and make people's bones numb.
"Xu Zhizhou." Chu Suiming bowed and saluted.
Xu Erlang let out a "hmm", while inadvertently examining the eyes of the kid below, he asked knowingly, "Do you know me?" ”
Chu Suiming was stared at so much that his scalp was numb, and the hairs on his back rose. The person in front of him is the Zhizhou of Xuzhou, and he is still responsible for guarding the city gate, how can he not know the boss of his boss...... Moreover, he is also the second uncle of Changle's relatives.
But the former can say, the latter ...... Can't mention.
Chu Suiming was a little numb, and he hated that he had already walked over just now, why should he turn back. As a result, he now ran to Xu Zhizhou to come to greet him. Xu Zhizhou's eyes were sharp and deep, and he seemed to see through the "dirty" in his heart at once, so that all his careful thoughts could not be hidden.
Chu Suiming clenched the saber at his waist with his fingers, took a deep breath, and then pretended to answer calmly, "My lord is the parent official of Hezhou, and he must bow down to him in everything. Having said that, the kid and Chang'an Changping of your mansion didn't know each other, and they also became friends after that, and they also visited the governor's mansion. It was only at that time that the adults went down to inspect the people's farming, so they did not see each other. ”
Xu Erlang let out an "oh".
Chu Suiming felt that his scalp was bigger, and he was always clever and articulate, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Chu Suiming turned sideways and moved out of the way, "The kid still has to go on patrol, and the adult must also remember to leave." The kid won't delay the solo time. When this war was over, Chang'an Changping came to Hezhou, and the kid went to Fuzhong to visit the adults. ”
Saying that, he saluted again and watched Xu Erlang and his party leave.
The sound of horses' hooves was very loud in the lonely night, and Xu Erlang and the others were in a hurry to leave, and they had no time to speak. When he was about to arrive in Donglin Town, Mohe grabbed a guard beside him and muttered in a low voice, "That little boy of the Chu family, how can I think his words are more interesting?" ”
This guard can also be regarded as Xu Erlang's trained manpower, he is not a native of Hezhou, but the children and grandchildren of some of Xu Erlang's shopkeepers and Zhuang Tou. Xu Erlang makes good use of people, and there are ways to make those people die for him. No, just promote these younger generations. If you have the ability and are more simple in defending the city, you will take care of some ancestral business for him. If they are more clever and capable, they will be carefully cultivated by him. After that, whether it is released for the imperial examination, or to play a hand around you, you have to use it.
And that's how this guard came.
is also because the family is on an errand in the master's mansion, this kind of person may not be able to eat inside and out, but can deliver some things that need to be kept secret.
In other words, there are some things that Mohe would not dare to say. He was very cautious, and hated to think of himself as a saw-beaked gourd.
But now there are only a few of their cronies around, so it's not a big deal.
It's a pity that this guard has a loyal heart, but his brain is not very clever. Hearing Mohe say something was wrong, he touched his head and said in a fog, "What's interesting, why didn't I see it?" Are you thinking too much? ”
Mohe: Forget it, what's the use of him talking about these elm pimples. They only need to complete the things assigned by the master with a discount. As for the rest, I won't force their brains to be smart enough.
Mohe didn't think much about it, because he still had something to do. Now at a critical juncture, I can't wait to divide it into three or five by myself, he has so many things to be busy with, and he doesn't have time to mumble here.
Besides, I haven't eaten for nearly a night, and my stomach has begun to protest.
People are iron rice or steel, and they still have to use something to top the top first.
Xu Erlang went to the barracks to hide it deliberately, but the female cadres of the Tartars are all there, so it's really hard to say whether this matter can be concealed or not.
However, even if Xu Erlang goes to the border, what if he is a civilian official, can he still dictate things on the battlefield?
Don't say that this is overstepping your authority, let's just say that Chu Zhong is not easy to mess with. With a person who is an ancestor and dictates his schemes, can Chu Zhong be happy?
Besides, a civilian official talking on paper has no effect. There is nothing to be afraid of.
It was with this kind of thought that the remaining princes in the Tartars did not take the events of this night to heart at all.
But now that it's almost fifty, it's time for the war to speed up. If this stalemate continues, the supply of grain and grass in the rear will be insufficient, and I am afraid that there will be problems.
Besides, Father Khan is afraid that he will not last long.
It would be nice if the Khan's throne had been decided before the end of the war. After all, no matter who is not convinced, Father Khan can still help to suppress the rest of the people. But if Father Khan takes the first step, not to mention that it will give Hezhou a chance to recuperate, this war should be hastily ended, and giving Hezhou a chance to counterattack is not a good thing for them who want to consolidate their rights and successfully transfer their powers.
So, the sooner the war ends, the better. The sooner the better.
With this thought, several princes even put aside the matter of "iron mine" for the time being. Qi Qi launched an attack on River State.
Chu Zhong finally got Xu Erlang's opinion, and sent a pair of men and horses to outflank the rear of the Tartars from the shortcut found by Xu Erlang.
It's a pity that the soldiers who set off didn't leave for a long time, and it will take some time to "make achievements".
During this time, in the face of increasingly fierce attacks, the Liaodong Army could only resist hard.
Now the casualties of the horses on both sides are somewhat heavy. According to incomplete statistics, there should be about 200,000 troops left in the Tartars, and there are still 160,000 in the Liaodong Army.
Fifty thousand soldiers died in the Tatars, and the Liaodong army lost forty thousand. It seems that the Liaodong Army is superior, but it is not. In the end, the Liaodong Army is not as fierce as the Tartars, and it can still maintain such a large number until now, because the prescription provided by Changle has played a big role. But a large part of these wounded soldiers could not go to the battlefield for the time being. You can only raise it first, if you can't resist it in front...... It's not that they can't go into battle with their swords with their arms broken.
At the beginning of the fifties, a monstrous black smoke came from behind the Tartars, and even from Donglin Town, you could see a thick smoke in the sky, taking advantage of the sound of the wind.
The grain and grass of the Tartars were burned, and Chu Suiming made great contributions to this trip.
Yes, it was Chu Suiming who made a detour to the rear of the Tartars this time. He took the initiative to ask for help, and after thinking about it for a long time, Chu Zhong finally nodded.
When Xu Erlang learned about this, Chu Suiming had already set off. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but read again, "Tiger father has no dog", and Mohe looked at him in surprise for a while.
Xu Erlang was in a good mood at that time, and said a little more to Mohe, "Chu Suicheng's ability is acceptable, and his character is good, but his majesty's skills are insufficient." There are many soldiers of various factions in the Liaodong Army, and Chu Zhong suppressed those people, Chu Suicheng was difficult. However, Chu Suiming has his father's blood, and his ability and means are enough, if he comes to take over the Liaodong Army, the border will be stable for a period of time. ”
Mohe: ......
Chu Suimin led people to copy the rear of the Tartars, and the people of Liaodong Army and Hezhou couldn't help but run to the street after hearing the letter, jumping happily, even more excited than the New Year. There was a merchant who still set off firecrackers with great fanfare, with tears in his eyes, which showed that he hated the Tartars and couldn't help himself with emotion and excitement about the victory of this small battle.
But soon, someone came to report that something was wrong.
Just northwest of Hezhou City, only five or six miles away from the city, there is land washed deep by the rain. Then, a group of merchants passed by, and were killed by the Tartars that suddenly sprang out from below.
Yes, the Liaodong Army copied the rear of the Tartars, and the Tartars had already prepared. A tunnel was dug directly from the grassland, leading directly to the city gate in the northwest of Hezhou.
Now the northwest has gathered 30,000 horses of the Tartars.
The number of people is not large, but for Hezhou, this is a catastrophe - all the people in Hezhou combined, there are less than 100,000. And the officials of the yamen, the officials who have already defended the city, and even all the public officials in Hezhou, do not exceed three hundred at all.
It's 300 against 30,000, and it's the same as an egg hitting a stone.
After Xu Erlang received the news, his eyes were split. Looking back at the years ago, and even the long time since the death of the Khan of Terry, that man was too quiet and silent, this was far from a man who was in charge of power, full of desire to fight, and wanted to keep himself in the hearts of his people forever, and be admired by their time like a god.
This is not in line with the temperament of the Khan of Tjeli.
He is violent, gloomy, and treats human life like a mustard. It is said that as soon as he took over the throne of the Khan, he vowed to set foot in Hezhou and let Hezhou be a slaughterhouse for Tartars.
Careless! Really careless!
But now it's too late to regret it.
An army of 30,000 assembled at the gate of the city, and the city will be attacked with the order of Jieli Wanheng.
And if the nearest Liaodong Army wants to go to the rescue, it will take a day and a night.
One day and one night, enough for so much to happen!
For some people, let alone a day and a night, it is an hour, a stick of incense, too many families are shattered, and too many living people become corpses.
Xu Erlang couldn't wait for a moment, so he rode over. Naturally, his guards also mounted their horses and galloped over to the rescue. Only Mohe stayed, and he had to hand over to the Liaodong Army, and he had to persuade the Liaodong Army to add men and horses to the northwest as much as possible.
Xu Erlang galloped all the way and arrived at Xuhui County at the third watch of the next day.
He thought that this place might turn into a scorched earth, but although there were earth-shaking shouts and killings along the way, he also saw the people fleeing in a hurry. But the city didn't turn into hell on earth......
The officials of Xuhui County heard the orders of their men and ran from afar to meet him. Nuo is an old man, and he can't take care of the official hat that he runs, and he can't breathe when he runs, and he has to salute Xu Erlang.
Xu Erlang wanted to kick it over.
The tunnel was dug so close to the city gate, and he didn't know that this county official was derelict in his duties. However, there is no point in pursuing these now, what matters now is what the situation is here......
