Chapter 539: If You Don't Grab the Credit, It's Gone!
The number of rebellions in history is more than we imagined in later generations, and the reason why we think that there are few is because most of them disappeared without a few flutters, so naturally no one paid attention to them.
In this, it is not always necessary to get the army, intelligence, food and grass, military resources, and so on before starting an incident, and many people do not have that kind of knowledge.
Han King Zhu Gaoxu can be regarded as having seen the world with Zhu Di, and in the end it did not end with absurdity.
That's why Wang Tingxiang didn't bother to think about it.
When he dealt with counterinsurgency matters in Shaanxi last year, he was a combination of rigidity and softness, resolutely exterminating the offenders, and giving priority to appeasing the ordinary people.
The king of Anhua has already sent out even the text, so what else is there to consider, just drive the army over.
In Lingzhou City, even the boats used by ordinary farmers were also requisitioned, and he had to lead his army across the river.
This governor is very anxious, and he has been urging Shi Yong, a thousand households in Lingzhou, not to mention that he will lead the troops to go out before the raft is completed.
Shi Yong persuaded and said: "The imperial army has arrived, for the sake of safety, will Zhongcheng wait any longer?" When the two armies are together, there will be no possibility of escape for the thieves. ”
Wang Tingxiang is not a person with a gentle temper, he refuted: "Killing officials and rebelling, there are many affairs, and the past few days have been the most busy, and his dispatch of troops must be urgent. Now that we are waiting here for a few days, can we let him calmly arrange, calm people's hearts, and consolidate the city's defenses? Don't say anything, do what you are told! ”
This guy is so angry that Wang Shouren can't say anything, but he doesn't think the rebels can make much trouble.
To cross...... Let's go to it......
Wang Shouren was somewhat interested in this person, so when Wang Tingxiang ordered the crossing of the river, he also went to the ferry to watch.
This is the soldiers and horses of Guyuan Town, Shaanxi.
"It should be the soldier that Yang Ge Lao trained at that time." Qiu Yue on the side recognized that he had fought side by side with him in the second year of Zhengde.
Looking down from a high place, Wang Tingxiang's troops and horses were quite neat, and under the unified dispatch of the order to cross the river, the rear army followed the front army, urgent and orderly, and there was no obvious chaos.
The army that crossed the river did not delay, and immediately set up a formation on the bank of the river, so as not to have any accidents.
From here, it can be seen that Guyuan soldiers and horses are still disciplined.
"The ferry is not guarded." Han Shishilang also rode a horse and Qiu Yue to guard Wang Shouren left and right, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's the officers and soldiers who are moving too fast." Qiu Yue analyzed: "The incident was held on the night of August 30, and it was only three days, and there was still time on the road. ”
"Shall we continue to build rafts?"
Wang Shouren replied affirmatively, "Well, after they cross the river, we will also cross the river immediately." Your Majesty has an account. Moreover...... I don't think I'm even guarding the ferry, maybe I'm already on the way, I can try it......"
This is a credit, Wang Shouren himself is okay, the holy favor he has received is enough, but he still has to think about his subordinates.
"Qiu Yue, this official sent you to lead the eight hundred elite soldiers of the left guard to blitz the town, do you dare?"
Qiu Yue was a rough man, and he responded arrogantly, "Why don't you dare?!" ”
The royal court led the footmen, and the court did not have so much silver to raise so many cavalry.
There are 30,000 in Gansu and more than 10,000 in Hetao.
With nearly 50,000 cavalry troops, with the national strength of a mid-dynasty dynasty, it is actually almost at the limit. Others, such as Xuanfu and Yulin, are basically two or three thousand people.
Therefore, once Qiu Yue leads the Left Guard Army to attack, he will definitely be in front of Wang Tingxiang.
Although it is sometimes very important to be gentle and frugal, Wang Tingxiang is not polite to him at all, so anxious, it is difficult to say that there is no suspicion of grabbing credit.
At this time, Wang Shouren can no longer be soft and glutinous. Because you are the commander of an army, the army is full of blood and blood, who will obey a soft person.
Of course, Wang Shouren was not ready to monopolize the whole work, he had already given the raft to Wang Tingxiang and let him cross the river first.
"Then go ahead, if it can be done, this credit is not small. If not, you can't go it alone. ”
"The last general commands!"
With the number of 800 people, it is relatively simple to cross the river, and it is a matter of a few hours.
In fact, the king of Anhua sent people to guard the ferry.
After some discussion, these people decided to take He Jinyi as the general of the thief, Zhou Ang and Ding Guang as the deputy generals, and Sun Jingwen as the military advisor, commanding 12,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to the north ferry port of Lingzhou.
But it is indeed the 'unpredictable prophet' of the imperial court, the action is too fast, there is an accident on the 30th, and in the blink of an eye, there are officers and soldiers stationed in Lingzhou, as if they are waiting.
He Jinyi was also halfway through, and suddenly heard that the officers and troops in Lingzhou had begun to cross the river.
Sun Jingwen was a little flustered when he heard this, and he said eagerly: "General, if the ferry is lost, the imperial army will continue to come!" You must defeat the enemy halfway! ”
"General Ben knows! However, according to the report, there are thousands of soldiers crossing the river, and the specific way to do it should be considered in the long run. ”
Sun Jingwen was dumbfounded after hearing this, "General, time is pressing, and there will only be more soldiers crossing the river in the long run." Our army was less than four miles from the ferry, and just as it was time to rush over, it was crushed with one blow! ”
……
On the other side, Zhang Xuan led a person to meet Wang Tingxiang.
"Jin Yiwei?"
Wang Tingxiang stepped down from the main seat in surprise, and after a little thought, asked Zhang Xuan: "Is it the person who sent the news to you in the first place?" ”
"It's the villain." Yang Shu lowered his head and said respectfully: "The villain was ordered to sneak in the Anhua Palace. ”
This is actually a bit unusual.
Jinyiwei has a north division and a south division, the north division is in charge of the territory, and the south division is responsible for the territory, which is common. But how could it be so coincidental, could it be that the Jinyi Guards sent people to lurk in the palaces?
This time, the counterinsurgency was even more calm than last year, and the speed of the transfer of the court officials and troops was unexpectedly fast, and the key to it was not his Wang Tingxiang, nor Wang Shouren, but the person in front of him.
But this person is the emperor.
Wang Tingxiang's mind came to mind the figure of the emperor he saw when he entered the palace. Young and wise, energetic, and not lacking in means, the kind of power in every question actually makes him a little nervous.
It's amazing.
"Any news?"
"Yes." Yang Shu immediately told what he had seen and heard, "On the night of the 30th, An rebelled and killed Jiang Han, the chief soldier, and Yang Ying, the deputy chief soldier, and raised troops to rebel. After that, the government was burned, the prisoners were released, and the rebel minister Meng Bin was ordered to raise the text and the rebel minister He Jinyi to be the general. ”
Wang Tingxiang and Zhang Xuan were shocked, the traitor is coming?
They were still crossing the river at this time, although the rebels were estimated to be a rabble, but it would not be good if the thieves hit half of the crossing. If you don't know it, you have to ask Wang Shouren to see his jokes.
"Immediately sent an order, ordering the forward battalion Xu Gang to go two miles in front of him, take the town fort and station, and prevent the enemy from raiding. The follow-up troops will speed up the crossing of the river, and there must be no mistake! ”
After a while, someone came to report it,
"Shuo Fang's army has also crossed the river!"
Wang Tingxiangxin said that it was really not the right time," Zhang Yushi. ”
"Understood, the lower official will go to see Wang Shouren."
Anyway, this message is meant to be delivered.
But Wang Shouren didn't react after hearing this, he felt that the soldiers of Guyuan were quite orderly, and they had already crossed most of the river, so it would not be a problem.
Moreover, the cavalry itself was very impactful, and even serious officers and soldiers could not resist it, let alone the so-called rebels.
The rebels are very easy to break up because they are doing very risky things, everyone is highly nervous, and there must be no headwinds until the situation is stable.
On September 3, from early morning to early afternoon, Wang Tingxiang had been nervously directing the troops to cross the river, and after Jinyiwei reported the news, he had sent scouts to reconnoitre, and the results did confirm that there was a rebel army, but what puzzled him was that the gang was very slow.
Qiu Yue doesn't care so much, he is the one who dares to lead the troops to hedge with the Tatar cavalry, a little rebel is nothing.
So he didn't say hello, and the eight hundred war horses set off with a bang.
If there is one thing that Zhu Houzhao failed to deal with well in this counterinsurgency, it is that he did not unify the command of the army. Really, he didn't think that he needed to be surrounded by two ways to get things done...... Even if they act alone, the rebels can't stand it.
Wang Tingxiang saw that Shuo Fang's army had been dispatched, and he couldn't hold it back, others didn't lack credit, but he lacked it! Because he was promoted too quickly, it was the time when he needed to make meritorious contributions to show himself.
So without saying a word, I got on my horse and set out on the expedition.
For a while, the soldiers and horses of the two roads suddenly rushed over like a storm.
Gallop wildly, happy in life!
After He Jinyi heard the report, he immediately began to sweat, but it didn't seem right to fight a fight.
"General! The officers and troops have attacked! ”
"Array up to meet the enemy! Take the sword! ”
The rebels were actually officers and soldiers, and as ordinary sergeants, it was a habit to listen to orders, and they didn't know why they were coerced anyway, but when they really drew their swords and started fighting, it was another emotion.
Under He Jinyi, the two deputy generals Zhou Ang and Ding Guang couldn't care about any emotions or emotions, the distance between the two armies was close, as long as they won the battle, they would have a way to live.
"General, the last general is willing to lead the troops to defeat the enemy!"
He Jinyi wished that someone would stand up, "Okay, Vice General Zhou really deserves the name of a fierce general!" ”
The north wind gusted, blowing yellow sand all over the sky, and the soldiers gathered in the wilderness, like a black scar on the earth.
The royal court is fighting fiercely, but he is a civil servant who is more powerful than a general.
"Drumming!!"
As the governor of Shaanxi, he still doesn't know who is more elite between the soldiers and horses of Ningxia Town and the soldiers and horses of Guyuan Mansion, he doesn't believe that the rebels can defeat him along the way.
Between the valleys, the rebels pushed and the officers and soldiers were aggressive, and finally collided like mud and sand in the earth-shattering shouts.
For a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and flesh and blood flew sideways.
Not only that, Wang Shouren had actually arrived, so he had no reason to watch the play, and after gathering about 800 elite soldiers, he ordered Han Shishilang to lead the army to attack the enemy's flank.
Cavalry is the pinnacle king of the cold weapon era.
War horses with more than a dozen military flags galloped wildly in the wind, with a magnificent and unstoppable momentum.
Han Shishilang is still a brave general, and from the air, this road of soldiers and horses is like a knife, suddenly inserted into the rebel camp, stirring up chaos in the rebel camp.
Then I saw the cavalry rampage, and the long knives kept waving left and right, reaping the lives of the enemy soldiers.
Ordinary people are prone to fear when they see a person rushing over on horseback, let alone a group.
Therefore, Han Shishilang's battle is to chase and kill people, and basically no one will dare to approach them.
"It's the soldiers and horses of Shuofang Town!" I don't know which literate person recognized the military flag and shouted so.
Han Shishilang was quite excited, "Brothers, let them see what a real official army is!" ”
"Up!"
