Section 35 Confrontation
Soon after the herald left, Chen Jisheng came in a hurry. Mao Wenlong threw the report of Huangshi's great victory to him, and after his Xi think tank read it, Mao Wenlong talked about his plan to transfer three battalions to southern Liaoning. At this time, Mao Wenlong also calmed down a little, but his tone was still full of hope: "Jisheng, what do you think?"
At the end of the third year of the Apocalypse, Dongjiang Town was opened, and in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong established the Dongjiang Right Association. At this time, Chen Jisheng was already the deputy general of the Dongjiang River who led the Right Association, and Mao Wenlong always attached great importance to his planning, and this military operation was huge, so of course Mao Wenlong had to seek his opinion in advance.
Although Chen Jisheng was also very excited after reading the report, he still calmed down faster than Mao Wenlong, and he smiled bitterly again and again: "Dashuai, this great victory in Nanguan was ten days ago, even if we immediately draw troops from Liaodong, the fastest battalion will still be able to return to Dongjiang in three days." Five days later, they may be able to send it to Liaonan, and I'm afraid that Jiannu will run away early. ”
"Otherwise," Mao Wenlong pulled the newspaper out of Chen Jicheng's hand, leaned down and found out a few key words, and then lit them for Chen Jisheng to see: "Huang Shi said that Jiannu's armor soldiers with the three banners of blue, white, and red have been dispersed, so Jiannu can't escape at all." Jiannu is sparsely populated, and must be reluctant to leave the unarmored soldiers and escape. ”
Mao Wenlong didn't look up, so he didn't see Chen Jisheng's disapproving look, he said to himself: "Jiannu only has a way to ask Liaoyang for help, the army of Huangshi at the moment is more than enough to protect itself, and it is not enough to annihilate Nanguan Jiannu, as long as I can lead three battalions to rush to Liaoyang Jiannu before they go south, I will be able to annihilate these three flags in one fell swoop!"
Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong smiled and clapped his palms, as long as the three banners of Houjin were annihilated, he would almost be able to give him a knighthood. And if these three banners can be annihilated, the Houjin army will inevitably be greatly injured, and it will also open a big hole in southern Liaoning. I am afraid that Nurhachi's forces will not be enough to maintain the entire front, so that they will be annihilated by the Ming army, and it will be just around the corner. Mao Wenlong flashed the two golden characters "Fenghou" in his mind at this time. The more I thought about it, the more proud I became, and the blood in my chest boiled.
Chen Jisheng next to him quietly waited for Mao Wenlong to finish speaking, and he kept confirming that Mao Wenlong had nothing to say before he began to pour cold water: "The last general thinks that it is useless to transfer troops to southern Liaoning, but it will shake our defense line in eastern Liaoning." ”
This was said very certainly, and Chen Jisheng's tone and expression were also very strict. After Mao Wenlong restrained his smile and looked at it intently, Chen Jisheng coughed and blasted out all the soldiers in the barracks before he arched his hand and said: "The marshal is not the last general, who speaks ill of his colleagues behind his back. But this battle report is really not credible. ”
Seeing Mao Wenlong's contemplative expression, he picked up the newspaper again, and began to look at Chen Jisheng, took two steps closer, and whispered to Mao Wenlong: "Dashuai, these are the three banners of Jiannu." General Huang Shen can collect money and deduct military salaries again, how many families can he train? Two or three hundred is almost over, right?"
"That's pretty much it. Mao Wenlong's eyes darkened. He was savoring the meaning of Chen Jisheng's words.
"The last general also thought it was about the same, I heard that Lord Sun of Liaodong Jingluo admired General Huang Shen very much, but didn't he just give a thousand armor? General Huang Shen also gave a lot to Dongjiang, although later the saint gave it again, but General Huang Shen never swallowed it alone, he probably didn't have two thousand armor left, right? This is not a defective product and weapon, Huang Shen General is afraid that there are not a few soldiers. Chen Jisheng said in his mouth, and calculated the approximate number for Mao Wenlong in his hand. Judging from the comparison of numbers, the equipment of the Huangshi Department is indeed not very optimistic about the three banners of the Houjin Army.
"Besides, General Huang's personal soldiers or family members are all recruits who have followed him for one or two years, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fight head-on with Jiannu's white-armored elite. Chen Jisheng saw that Mao Wenlong's face became very gloomy, and he hurriedly took a step back and bowed deeply: "The last general is not to grow his morale and destroy his own prestige, but to be a piece of loyalty, please be a marshal." ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand weakly to make Chen Jisheng stand up straight, he frowned, thought for a while, and asked coldly: "Then Huangshi should have defeated the Jiannu guard between Jinzhou and Nanguan, this guard, I estimate that there are about more than a thousand soldiers and thousands of unarmored auxiliaries escorting the baggage, and it is about the same as killing nine hundred, do you think this is the case?"
"Dashuai Mingjian. Chen Jisheng was also so speculative in his heart.
Mao Wenlong nodded slightly, he analyzed it according to his many years of military affairs: "Jiannu cavalry went straight to Lushun, after breaking through Lushun, he will definitely have to be taken captive, I am afraid that he will not return north in four or five days, and Huangshi seized the fighter plane to rescue Nanguan." Well, this is much more reasonable, with the strength of two battalions, it is really impossible to compete with the three banners of Jiannu...... But what about the blue banner and the golden helmet of Manguthai?
"I'm afraid this is not the banner of the Zhenglan Banner, but it should be the banner of a certain Niu Lu of the Jiannu Zhenglan Banner, and the golden helmet can also be that Niu Lu, this is probably Huang Shen's over-excitement after successfully rescuing Nanguan, and it was written incorrectly. Chen Jisheng also asked Mao Wenlong to change the chapter, at least it must be written vaguely, otherwise the false report will make the emperor and the court happy. In case the emperor decided to dedicate the Jietai Temple for this, and the Dongjiang army only sent a Niulu flag in the end, then Mao Wenlong would make the emperor lose face in front of his ancestors.
In the end, Chen Jisheng also gave Mao Wenlong an analysis of the progress of the war in Jinzhou these days: "The elite of Jiannu returned from Lushun to the north, and the Huang Shen general could only hold on to Jinzhou, and the old Jiannu division was useless, so he naturally retreated." The last general thought that in a few days, General Huang's next report would come, and Jiannu would definitely retreat, even if Jiannu did not retreat now, he could leave Jiannu when he led the army to Jinzhou. Even if Jiannu doesn't leave, we won't have much chance of winning with five battalions and three flags, but there are 700 well-equipped white-armored soldiers. Therefore, the last general thought that it was not the best policy to risk the collapse of the Liaodong front and transfer three battalions to southern Liaoning, and dared to ask the commander to take a clear look. ”
"Jisheng, you are an old man. Mao Wenlong sat down and began to write a recital, but as he wrote, he became happy again: "Anyway, this is still good news." ”
"What the marshal said is very true," Chen Jisheng also echoed with a smile, and the Houjin army went south to attack Lushun with the Three Banners, but if Jinzhou was not lost, it meant that the large-scale attack of Houjin did not achieve the strategic goal. After reading Huangshi's report, Chen Jisheng and Mao Wenlong both believed that the Lushun army in Nanguan had merged with Jinzhou and Changsheng Army, so no matter how Jinzhou looked, it was not the three banners that the Houjin army could attack: "When Mao Youjie arrives in Jinzhou, it will be even more foolproof." ”
"Well, that's good. Mao Wenlong was also in a good mood when he saw that the situation in southern Liaoning was stable. Although the Ming army suffered a lot of losses, and folded Zhang Pan, such a confidant and favorite general, and let the Houjin army cripple Lushun, but at least it was not a complete collapse of southern Liaoning, and Mao Wenlong's impeachment would not be too violent, he thought of this and sighed again: "Huangshi is really a fierce general." It's not in vain that I left him behind. ”
......
After the Three Banners discussed by Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng of the Dongjiang River, the Jin army was still trapped in Nanguan at this time, and the commander of the Jin army, Mang Ergutai, ordered all the horses to be slaughtered for military rations, and also ordered the wounded and emaciated war horses to be killed and eaten.
Huang Taiji raised his hands in favor of this order, and since they learned that the ships they had stolen from Lushun had been burned by the Ming army, they knew that waiting for reinforcements was their only hope. He ordered a white flag servant beside him who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old: "Kill all the horses except the horses that transport the wounded." ”
The young man's eyes were fixed on his back as he went out. After the white flag Balaya left, he asked curiously: "Such a little child has just joined the flag." ”
"The flag that just entered this year. ”
"How can a sixteen-year-old child be a bara?"
"Brave and brave. Huang Taiji smiled and diverted the topic: "Even if we kill the horse immediately, our military rations will only last for fifteen days." ”
"Why don't you kill all the Han girls who broke Lushun?" It was Bo Erjin Shrimp who spoke, and he finally fled to Nanguan.
The construction of Borjin shrimp made Huang Taiji and Mang Ergutai hesitate for a moment, but they still shook their heads together, and Mang Ergutai sighed with a wry smile: "Everyone has been distributed to the soldiers, how can I come back now." ”
Huang Taiji on the side added: "If the soldiers travel thousands of miles and get nothing, I am afraid that everyone will have resentment in their hearts." ”
Borjin shrimp was not resolute at first, but he listened to the words and stopped insisting.
"Kill Zhang Pan. Let's do it now. ”
Huang Taiji's mention made Mang Gultai pause: "Didn't you say that you wanted to spare his life?"
"I kept him alive at first in the hope that Yellowstone would persuade him to surrender. Huang Taiji Guli smiled strangely: "I thought I could capture Huangshi alive, I concluded that Huangshi would surrender immediately, so I wanted him to persuade Zhang Pan." ”
"Because you think that Huangshi is a scholar?" Mang Gurtai sarcastically said in a vicious voice, and then asked, "Then why didn't you kill him a few days ago?"
"I wanted to put Zhang Pan back, I thought Yellowstone would annex Zhang Pan's people. So I thought about seeing if they would have a bit of infighting. Huang Taiji told him about the news he inquired, Huangshi not only did not annex the Xuanfeng battalion, but also gave them a full of troops, according to Jinzhou's detailed report, Huangshi also gave the Xuanfeng battalion a lot of equipment.
"The equipment is mine, this scholar. Manggutai was so angry that he said with hatred: "Of course Huangshi doesn't look down on our armor, he has iron armor. ”
"In any case, since Huangshi has such a mind, we can't let Zhang Pan go back. Otherwise, it just makes him feel like a tiger. ”
Leaving the Nanguan Council Hall, the young white-armored soldier under Huang Taiji had already conveyed the order, and Huang Taiji took him to his station, and suddenly stopped on the way, Huang Taiji couldn't help but say a feeling in his heart: "That Huangshi seems to be very afraid of me." ”
This kind of thing Huang Taiji would not say to Mang Gurtai or anyone else, after all, the fourth Beile and the eighth elder brother have never been a very favored son, and if he says this, he will only be ridiculed as arrogance. But in front of his white-armored guards, Huang Taiji had a lot less worries, he stopped and recalled from the beginning the experience of getting along with Huangshi, as well as some of Huangshi's reactions in this battle, as well as some of Huangshi's remarks from Jinzhou Xizuo: "That's right, he seems to have a special fear of me, strange, he is not afraid of his father, Khan, Da Beile, Erbeile and Sanbeile, but he is afraid of me alone, why is this?"
For a while, Huang Taiji didn't understand the reason, and he didn't figure out how to use this to make a profit, and the white-armored soldiers behind him silently guarded him. Not a word.
This white-armored soldier is the son of Fei Yingdong's ninth brother, and Huang Taiji is rushing at his illustrious uncle to promote him. But of course he wouldn't tell Mang Gul Taiming about this. Huang Taiji smiled at the young soldier and said, "Let's go, turtle worship." ”
Golden State Staff General Camp.
"Huang Taiji is scheming, we must send more scouts, and we must not let Jiannu succeed in smuggling. As he spoke, Huang Shi slammed his fist on the map.
Zhao Wanxiong paused, and Jin Qiude cautiously reminded: "My lord." The master of the slave will be Mang Gurtai. ”
"I know" Huang Shi waved his hand impatiently: "I know that the enemy who knows but is really dangerous is Huang Taiji......"
Yellowstone wasn't ashamed of his fear, he felt it was a normal reaction of a traverser. If he traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, although Huang Shi knew that the people of the Han Dynasty were not as nutritious as his own, and his bones were calcified, and he was not as good as himself. But in case he encounters Lu Bulai alone, even if he is only one meter and six meters, Huangshi will still turn his horse and leave.
In another barracks, Hong Antong was receiving the envoy from Dongjiang and a few guards accompanying him for dinner, and they were going out to Liaoxi tomorrow. Huang Shi instructed Hong Antong to let them eat and sleep well. Jinzhou has just killed a lot of horses with injured legs, and there are also large pieces of dog meat to eat, which made those soldiers of the Dongjiang headquarters eat with their mouths full of oil.
Hong Antong sat beside them and looked at the eating of these guys and asked with a smile: "Isn't there any meat to eat in Dongjiang?"
"How is it possible to have meat to eat?" the messenger asked rhetorically, and several of the other Dongjiang soldiers also grunted and complained, but they were now busy stuffing meat into their mouths. So I couldn't spare my mouth to speak, and handed over everything to their leader: "You guys are good outside the town, our headquarters has nothing, Mao Shuai has raised more than 5,000 orphans, and there are now 100,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 women and children in the entire Dongjiang River to eat." Only 10,000 soldiers were paid a year. It's no wonder that you have to buy iron weapons and have meat to eat. ”
Hong Antong smiled dumbly: "We don't have meat to eat, that is, there are some dead horses or something when we are fighting." ”
"Everyone is miserable. The messenger sighed and stopped talking, and after stuffing two more pieces of meat into his stomach, he felt that he was full, and after a while of reverie, the messenger shook his head and looked at it: "Mao Shuai said that when Liaodong is recovered, he will use the land to compensate us for our arrears." ”
"That's what my family says. Hong Antong also remembered his record in the merit book. He now owns fifty acres of land, a cow and a horse, and it is the land of Dongjiang Town that can be attacked by his descendants for generations. After sweeping away, Jin recovered Liaodong and avenged the clan land. Hong Antong feels that he should still be able to make a lot of contributions, maybe when the time comes, in addition to his wife, he will also have the money to ask for a little wife to chase back all these years.
"Just wait for Mao Shuai to return to Liaodong. We have suffered so much and are waiting for the day when we will come out. ”
Several soldiers sat around the table and daydreamed. It took them a long time to wake up from a good dream, and then they carefully looked at Hong Antong's iron armor on his horse, and then stared at his saber for a long time: "Are you an officer or Lord Huang's personal soldier?"
To be honest, Hong Antong doesn't know what he is, because in the military system set by Huangshi, the guards are responsible for the position, not a certain person, for example, if He Dingyuan is the commander of the horse team, he can naturally be protected by the horse guards, and if He Dingyuan is transferred from this position, the guards of the horse team will not walk with him. Although the internal guard under the command of Hong Antong is directly responsible to Huang Shi, Huang Shi has given him many secret tasks, and his authority is far greater than that of a personal soldier captain in the ordinary sense.
"I'm a horse team, and I'm temporarily used as a pro-soldier team. Well, that's it. Hong Antong finally reported his official rank, and the internal guard team is a horse team on the surface, so he is not lying when he says this.
"It turned out that Mr. Qian was disrespectful and disrespectful. The Dongjiang envoy and a few fellow soldiers hurriedly got up and saluted, they always thought that Hong Antong was a pro-soldier with no grade.
"I'm not a few years older than you. Hong Antong hurriedly got up and made a polite gesture.
"Hong Qian ordered Xu Yunting. The Dongjiang envoy also reported that he had left the house, and he was busy eating just now, and he didn't say anything.
"Fortunately. ”
Hong Antong felt that this name made him feel comfortable for a while, as if the two of them should be friends by fate.
On February 10, the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the Golden State Counselor General set camp.
"My lord, Immortal Island, urgently. ”
Huang Shi took the letter and was about to open it, when he saw Hong Antong hurriedly coming over, and after he finished speaking, Huang Shi's face also changed greatly.
Although Huang Shi was determined to bleed Jiannu, he also felt that it was best to leave Huang Taiji behind, but he was still thinking about whether to master the degree of bloodletting. lest the slaves die of blood loss. But now......
"Liaodong Jingluo Sun is coming to Jinzhou?" Huang Shi confirmed the news to Hong Antong word by word.
Sure enough, there was ambiguity, Hong Antong's voice was too small just now, and now he replied loudly: "It's not that I'm coming, but Lord Sun's ship has passed through the Jinzhou Wharf." Now Master Sun may have disembarked. ”
