Chapter 687: Each in place
The small Qianshan City, very lively, when the sky is slightly bright, there is a variety of noise outside the city, the people in the city get up early to go to the street to line up to receive subsidies, in fact, it is free three meals a day, although it is not a big fish and big meat but it is better than nothing, as for the full food and drink, that is, the legs stretch out to bask in the sun, no sun on the chatter and brag, anyway, there is nothing to do.
Now there is a war outside the city, the whole city is under martial law, prohibiting anyone from going out, the investigation is strict, it is said that a few nights ago, more than a dozen people took advantage of the night to venture out, but were taken by the officers and soldiers to hang themselves directly at the city gate, and the attack is called a ruthless!
However, even if the officers and soldiers were so vicious, most of the people still couldn't hate it, just because these officers and soldiers were very different from the officers and soldiers in the past, the first of all, they did not disturb the people, as long as you did not provoke and violate the curfew, absolutely no one would look for you for anything, as usual, the door-to-door search for anti-thieves took the opportunity to make money and water did not happen, on the contrary, they also opened six porridge shops in the city, providing gruel and bone broth, and anyone could eat it.
Tang Tong got up very early, and after having a hasty breakfast with his entourage, he began his day's patrol, showing that after wandering around the main streets of the city, he climbed the city wall again, sometimes looking left and right with binoculars, and sometimes with a long sigh.
This kind of behavior was clear in their eyes, and they knew why their deputy commander was upset. It's a long story, but it's just a matter of a few days.
It is said that more than ten days ago, after the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were stationed in Qianshan City, Bai Guangen was stationed along the Qianhe River in the south of the city, Wang Tingchen defended the camp under the Huling Mountains a few miles west of the city, and Wu Sangui explored the mountains step by step for the battalion, and he sat in Qianshan City, everything was in order, just waiting for the cannon fodder of the Qing army to come over and go to the mines into the mountains, and then kill the enemy and capture Zhang Xianzhong alive.
What a beautiful picture. It's a pity that this beautiful picture was completely torn ten days ago, by a group of extremely arrogant people!
The cannon fodder who waited left and right did not come, but they waited for the scourge of the First Army, two divisions, two battalions, and more than 40,000 horses and horses drove into the territory of Qianshan City!
They are all friendly forces, and they will come, but these so-called friendly troops do not pay any attention to the rules of first come, first come, and as soon as the army arrives, the military order comes. Zheng Hong, the acting commander of the First Army, took a fancy to the camp under Huling, and asked Wang Tingchen to immediately set up camp and go to Bai Guangen's military camp on the bank of the Qianhe River in the south to lay a bunk.
Wang Tingchen was naturally unwilling: "Do you understand the rules of first come, first served?" ”
"I don't understand, our First Army never knew what the rules were! Give me an hour to make way! ”
Zheng Hong's answer is very arrogant and unreasonable!
your uncle, who is their good stubble these days, how can your own baby pimple drop, the god king's subordinates rely on their military exploits to speak, and Lao Tzu just came to take a bridgehead. Stand firm, you're a p...... At this time, Wu Sangui, the commander of the Sixth Army, stood up and refused to accept it!
Fuck, I'm afraid of you. There's a kind of heads-up for me!
Xu Wuhou, a-stirring stick, stood up!
Wu Sangui was instigated, it was not that he couldn't beat Xu Wuhou, and he also said that there was no pressure to beat ten Xu Wuhou with his kung fu, but. This man is a scourge and cannot be provoked! It's not that I'm afraid of the background behind him, but I'm afraid that I can't get rid of such a cowhide glue!
"Everything must be a rule, we are the Ming Army. It's not a ruffian, this matter is brought to the god king, and you don't pay ......attention to it anymore" The royal courtiers didn't want to make trouble, and decided to convince people with reason.
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Wang's name, Zheng Hong and the others didn't seem to be so arrogant, but!
"When I came, the prince said, I have the final say here! Everything must obey my arrangement, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the prince to appeal, if you don't listen to the order, then you are embarrassed, even if the military discipline department does not arrest people, buddy will not be soft! ”
Depend on! Wu Sangui and Wang Tingchen spoke in unison, and with a black face, they ordered their subordinates to set up camp and give up their territory to the First Army.
"Zheng Hong, why didn't I listen to my eldest brother say what you said here...... You kid pretended to pass on military orders", as soon as the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army left, Xu Wuhou wondered!
"What's the matter, just bluff them away, I said hurry up and take advantage of them not reacting, grab what should be robbed, grab what should be occupied, and look back on who is quick to start with military merit."
"Awesome, the king of the mountain was born, and he is proficient in this industry......" Xu Wuhou expressed his admiration!
"Your uncle, are you praising me or hurting me......" Zheng Hong rolled his eyes.
In this way, on the day the first army came, all the favorable terrain was occupied, Bai Guangen and Wang Tingchen were squeezed to the river, Tang Tong was not allowed to go out in the city, and even the Tianzhu cottage that Wu Sangui could not occupy, if it was not for his own hard resistance, it was also snatched away, but what made him dumbfounded was that the first army actually took only half an hour the next day to lay another cottage ten miles away from Tianzhu Cottage, and pushed the road into the mountain ten miles. This strength is really not covered!
On the third day when the first army arrived at Qianshan, the person sent by Wu Sangui to Luzhou for verification finally came back, although the God King was not there, but he verified one thing from Xie Xinghua of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Qianshan was not what he Zheng Hong said at all! Instead, the chief and deputy commanders of the three armies will be deployed in a unified manner and will fight in a unified manner, and there is no such thing as anyone being in charge of their own affairs.
After hearing the news, Wu Sangui and the other three army commanders were naturally furious, and immediately protested against Zheng Hong's actions like the Military Affairs Department.
Although the first meeting was an unhappy parting, but then we had to join forces to fight, at least on the surface, Wu Sangui and others also understood, after all, the first army was a descendant, and they had to give more or less face, but they couldn't see Zheng Hong's face!
Since the three companies are united, it is necessary to set up an operational command center, and all military operations here will be decided by the three companies after consultation.
The headquarters was not set up in the city, in Zheng Hong's words, there were too many spies in the city, and the battle was non-stop, and the door could not be opened, so the headquarters was naturally located in the first army camp under Huling in the west of the city.
In the tent of the commander in the barracks, the generals of the First Army at and above the regimental level gathered together, laughing, smoking and farting.
"Have you heard, this place is so funny, there is a village called Sifang in the west, and there is a village called Erfang, and the most ridiculous thing is that the village in the north of our military camp is called Cao Sifang. There's also a thatched hut called the, haha, how did you come up with the name? It's just ......," Hao Shaoqi laughed obscenely.
"What's strange about this, it is estimated that I married a four-room concubine who took turns to, is it rare, when I turn around, Lao Tzu wants to marry eight, let them live together, and call it the eighth room", Li Qingshan laughed.
"Are you okay, don't flash your waist," everyone quipped.
"Hey. Wu Sangui is here", Zheng Hong sat at the door of the tent with sharp eyes.
"Yo, Commander Wu, so early today?" Zheng Hong got up and said hello lazily
"I have something to discuss with Master Zheng", Wu Sangui took Wang Tingchen and the three of them into the tent and found a place to sit down.
"What does Commander Wu want to discuss?" Zheng Hong straightened his face and asked seriously, this thing is usually a gangster. But when it comes to getting down to business, it's still quite responsible, especially in this situation, and there is no room for sloppiness.
"Into the mountains! It's not a way for us to keep guarding this mountain pass. It is impossible for the thief army to go out of the mountain and fight with us. Can't you just stay here and wait? ”
Wu Sangui lit a cigarette and said slowly.
"According to the reconnaissance in the past few days, the thief army has set up many checkpoints in the mountains, and it is not so easy for us to enter in a big way. It doesn't take a lot of effort, or that people who don't die are not close to their roots, and they are talking about being direct. We don't know where the thieves are." Zheng Hong said solemnly, casually spreading out the map in front of him.
Wu Sangui smiled, it was the kind of smile with a sarcastic face: "Senior Commander Zheng, since we are fighting together, we don't say dark words, although I don't know why you have been holding your troops still, but using the excuse of not knowing the location of the thief army is too fake."
"What do you mean by that?" He Renlong and Zheng Hong have been very close recently, and when they saw Zheng Hong's face change, they immediately cheered.
"The meaning is very simple" Wang Tingchen stood up, walked to the table, pointed to a place on the map, and nodded vigorously: "Although the prince said that he didn't know where the thief army was for the time being, but we all knew that it was just the consideration of the God King for us, and everyone knew that the thief army was here, although it was not hit, but it was never far away."
"Oh? Why is Commander Wang so sure? Xu Wenjue also stood up, smiled, and glanced at the place that Wang Tingchen was referring to, Yuexi County! A mountain town deep in the mountains.
"Camp Commander Xu, is this thinking about me?" Wang Tingchen sneered.
"Don't dare, it's to ask for advice", Xu Wenjue clasped his fists and saluted.
Hey! Wang Tingchen sneered again: "Since the joint operation, why hide it, this Yuexi county was occupied by Zhang Xianzhong as early as the ninth year of Chongzhen, and it was renamed Orchid County at that time, he had been operating here for several years, which can be regarded as deep-rooted, although he has been wandering everywhere in recent years, but last year he was driven away by thieves and went to the old Huihui, and then separated again and entrenched in the hidden mountains, even with his toes, he can figure out that he must be in Yuexi County at the moment."
"Hahaha, Commander Wang's toes are so bright......" Xu Wuhou just wanted to make a sarcasm, but was shut up by Xu Wenjue's cold eyes.
"Commander Wang concludes based on this alone?" Xu Wenjue still had a smile on his face, and he looked harmless.
"Otherwise, there is another one, that is, after so many days of investigation, especially the scene captured by the drone, there are many checkpoints on the road to the mountain where the thieves enter the mountain, and the place where those checkpoints lead is Yuexi County!"
Papapapa, Xu Wenjue applauded, and Zheng Hong also applauded with a smile: "Hey, I always think I'm smart, but no one seems to be stupid."
"It seems that Senior Commander Zheng also knew about it for a long time, but I don't know why he hasn't sent troops?"
"Good question" Zheng Hong lit a cigarette: "First, the mountain road is steep and narrow, and it is difficult for the army to walk, and it is even more difficult to prevent the thieves from raiding...... Well, even if we have reconnaissance planes that can see through the ambush in advance, but if we want to defeat those ambushes, we have to pay the price, plus so many checkpoints set up by the thief army along the way......"
"Co-author Zheng is afraid of death" Tang Tong suddenly interjected, Zheng Hong was stunned, and watched his eyes become fierce: "Yes, I am indeed afraid of death, unlike some people who say that they are not afraid of death, and they will run away when they encounter the enemy."
"You ......" Tang Tong was suddenly furious, and even Wu Sangui and the others had embarrassment on their faces, and they couldn't help but glare at Tang Tong, they were simply digging a hole for themselves. Pig teammates.
"In a war, it is inevitable that the loss of troops and generals will be lost, and Senior Commander Zheng will not worry about this and keep consuming it!" Wang Tingchen spoke, avoiding that awkward topic.
"Naturally not, we are waiting for someone, waiting for cannon fodder!" Zheng Hong said with a smile on his face and looked at Xu Wenjue and the others.
"Oh. It turned out to be waiting for those prisoners", Wu Sangui was stunned! "When will they arrive? Also, how do we distribute it, you can't grab the credit in the front and I will pick up the bones in the back, right? ”
"We can discuss this again...... Zheng Hong laughed, and at this time, Zuo Mengeng behind him suddenly stood up and walked out.
"What are you going to do?" Zheng Hong frowned.
"Go out and breathe" Zuo Mengeng walked out of the tent without looking back.
"Damn, it's getting more and more prickly!" Zheng Hong scolded in a low voice, Wu Sangui and Wang Tingchen glanced at each other, and a playful smile appeared on their faces.
"Hey, why did this guy come back again?" Zheng Hong glanced up. Zuo Mengeng, who had just gone out, turned around and walked into the tent, and there was a hint of joy on his face.
"The God-King is back!" When he was surprised, a herald came out from behind Zuo Mengeng, and he roared with joy on his face.
When did he come back, everyone was happy, especially Zheng Hong, who grabbed the herald: "In Luzhou?" Is there a military order? ”
"Yes, there is ......" The herald finally struggled out of Zheng Hong's clutches: "The God King came back last night, and then sent a military order to Lu'an and Shucheng." And here......"
"Don't talk nonsense, what military order?" Zheng Hong interrupted the herald.
"Whoa,,。 The herald hurriedly handed Zheng Hong a piece of military order in his hand.
Zheng Hong blushed, embarrassed, and about to get angry.
"Your uncle's. Knowing that Lao Tzu is illiterate, he must have done it on purpose......"
"Commander, I was wrong, I was wrong. I really didn't mean it", the herald jumped away after taking a few kicks, and quickly opened the military order
"From now on, all ministries are ready to enter the mountain, the cannon fodder has been loaded, and you will be rewarded for your merits, and those who have been loyal to Zhang Xian will be crowned marquis, and those who have returned to the old will be knighted...... The cowardly, the sluggish! ”
Depend on! Everyone was in an uproar, all of them stood up, one by one, their eyebrows fluttered, their expressions were excited, although Chongzhen had said it earlier, and killed Zhang Xianzhong as the marquis, but it was before Lu Wang was airborne, who knew that the current Chongzhen still admitted the account, who knew if the military department would give a fold, but at this time there was finally clear news.
Regardless of whether these generals are born as thieves or second-generation officials, everyone has a dream, success and fame, glory lintel, royal reward whether it is fame or fortune, this kind of honor is unparalleled in this era.
It's over, it looks like they're biting each other, everyone in the tent has passion on their faces, everyone's minds are alive, and everyone knows that the competition starts now!
"When will the cannon fodder arrive? Who leads the team on this side of Qianshan? "Zuo Mengeng has always been steady, and he was also the first to calm down.
"It is estimated that I will be able to arrive tomorrow night at the earliest, and my subordinates only know that the team led by Captain Ji and Captain Hu who went to Lu'an, and it was Captain Liu who came to Qianshan"! The herald hurried back!
Captain Ji? Commander Liu? What do you mean, Zheng Hong and Zuo Mengeng and others are a little confused, didn't they say that Liu Liangzuo's old department was taken over by Ji Ying and Hu Haitian and adapted into a division, why did they only get a regiment leader now, but Liu Liangzuo ......
"Oh, that's the case, about 10,000 people in Liu Liangzuo's old department have been reorganized into the Second Army, and the remaining less than 5,000 have been reorganized into independent regiments with Ji Ying and Hu Haitian as the commanders, as for Liu Liangzuo, he is now the acting commander of the Manchurian Army......"
Fuck, after listening to the words of the herald, the generals were in an uproar again, Liu Liangzuo's good life on this dog day, not falling but rising? You must know that the Qing soldiers captured more than 70,000 people and formed a Manchurian army, then this army is too big!
"Our first army is only more than 60,000 people, where did Liu Liangzuo come from such a good life on this dog day......" Li Qingshan took the lead and scolded.
"A few adults, you have thought too much, although Commander Liu is now the acting commander of the Manchurian Army, he can't command the ...... of so many people," the herald hurriedly explained.
"Can you finish a sentence", Zheng Hongkai scolded!
"Yes, yes, there are more than 70,000 prisoners in the Luzhou military camp, and they have been trained for more than ten days, but the prince said that it is impossible to pull them out at once, and it is easy to have accidents, so the independent regiment will take 10,000 people to Lu'an, and Commander Liu will bring 20,000 people to Qianshan......"
"It's lively, it's lively!" Zheng Hong slammed the table: "Everyone, we have to sum up the ......"
