Chapter 237: March
"Bang! Rumble! ”
Outside the dwelling, the guards of King Ning's Mansion and the men in Tsing Yi were originally standing far away, and the princess's order was to let them not be ordered not to approach half a step, but when they heard all kinds of strange sounds coming from the dwelling, they still couldn't help it, after all, the princess was inside, in case something went wrong...
A louder voice came out, as if someone was pushing the table... The leader of the guards walked boldly to the door, knocked lightly, and called out in fear: "Mother? ”
There was no response inside, but the voice became louder and louder, as if there were still a few coquettish gasps, and several guards looked at each other and wondered what the princess and the hateful scholar were doing inside... It wasn't until something hit the door that the frightened leader of the guards kicked the door, and the dust fell, and he drew his knife, so that he could see the situation in the house.
The scholar in the green shirt sat on a chair with a cup of tea in his hand, and when he saw them come in, he took a sip of the teacup with a blank face, while their princess kicked over the half-man-high table and raised the chair in her hand to see what was being smashed.
The clothes of the two of them were intact, but the heroic lady was a little red, and it seemed that smashing things was also tiring work, and when the house was in a mess, there was almost no intact furniture left, and everything that could be smashed was smashed, Shaning put down the chair in his hand that was about to fall apart, and exhaled refreshedly.
The old bachelor who came back from the field stood outside the courtyard, looking at the murderous guards in the courtyard and his own almost demolished home, and the flat shoulder in his hand slowly fell to the ground.
Shaning gracefully sat on the squeaky chair and waved his hand: "You all go out, give the man some silver, collect some firewood in a while, and burn this house!" ”
"Huh?"
Shaning's tone was light and light, without a trace of anger, but the undulating chest seemed to tear his clothes, and he didn't look as calm as his face at all, and the head of the guards didn't dare to touch Shaning's moldy head, so he hurriedly agreed, put the knife into the sheath and turned around and walked out of the house.
Only then did Shaning turn his fire-breathing eyes to Gu Huai, only to see Gu Huai sitting in a precarious position, not even daring to cast his eyes here, just drinking tea in a muffled voice, but with a somewhat gentle and gentlemanly spirit.
But the more this is the case, the more the anger in Shanning's heart burns with a "Teng", she really wants to pick up the chair under her ass and smash it on the head of this scholar, but in the end she still gasps a few breaths and endures it: "The prince can raise troops, not only Duoyan Sanwei, as long as you give some time, the original three guards and horses can also be recruited to your command, if you can get rid of Chen Heng, the commander of Daning Guard, and Liu Zhen, the governor of Songting Pass, Daning Guard's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are also ready-made troops!" ”
Gu Huai didn't get carried away by the painted pie, he just put down the teacup: "This is not a cost... Daning is vigilant, Duoyan Sanwei is not good to go south, and Liaodong will also move; The three guards of King Ning are already in the hands of the imperial court, and now the station is surrounded by the Daning Guard, and it has no effect at all; As for the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Daningwei... Mother, this is even more impossible to mention. ”
He shook his head: "How can trading do this?" Niangniang's meaning, could it be that the prince wants the prince to lay down Daning, and then he can take out these things? ”
Sha Ning looked ahead, expressionless: "I can't even do this, how can I talk about raising troops?" The predicament of the palace now, didn't you create it single-handedly? Since you are a man, take responsibility! ”
If Zhu Quan heard this, he was afraid that he would pick up the knife and fight hard with Gu Huai, he couldn't smile bitterly: "What responsibility does Niangniang want me to bear?" ”
"The prince needs King Yan to break the siege first, I talked to the prince before leaving the palace, and I feel that the court wants to take this opportunity to start, after all, the previous summoning order can no longer be delayed, Chen Heng will not let go of this opportunity, even if it needs to be reviewed by the court, it will definitely besiege Ning Wangfu to death... The prince is now trapped in Daning City, and Daning Wei is also vigilant against Duoyan Sanwei, the prince needs freedom to touch the military power, and this needs His Royal Highness King Yan to figure out a way. ”
Gu Huai couldn't help frowning: "Songting Pass... It's not easy to fight, the prince's soldiers and horses can't fly, as long as they can't pass the Songting Pass, how can they come to Daning to relieve the siege? ”
Shaning sneered: "What, you can't help it?" You can't just talk nonsense with red mouths and white teeth, and expect the prince to go to help, right? If it weren't for the difficult times, how could we have embarked on such a road of no return? ”
She stroked her hair: "This is the last bottom line of the prince, if you don't solve the siege of Daning, the prince will not be able to raise troops, and even if the siege is lifted, I can only promise that the prince will send troops to help, but Daning and Duoyan Sanwei... It's still the prince's. ”
Gu Huai also smiled: "Niangniang, this is planning to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" After laying down the Songting Pass and relieving the siege of Daning, His Royal Highness King Yan still has to go back to the pass, and then wait for His Royal Highness King Ning to take the initiative to help? ”
It's too outrageous, that is, Zhu Di did all the work, and finally worked for Zhu Quan? Even if Zhu Quan can't send troops, it will depend on his mood at that time?
Sha Ning also expected that Gu Huai would not agree easily, this price is indeed too high, but the bottom line must be raised in business to negotiate the price, although she is a grassland woman, she does not understand these at all.
But what she didn't expect was that Gu Huai stood up with his hands behind his back, paced in a pile of tattered furniture for a moment, and actually spoke: "Yes." ”
This time, Shaning was confused: "What? ”
"The siege of Daning, the prince can solve it, in fact, as long as the soldiers are under the city of Daning, everything is easy to say," Gu Huai pondered, "But Duoyan Sanwei also needs help, and he must go south as soon as possible to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers of Liaodong and Daningwei... And the city gate needs to be found by King Ning's mansion. ”
Sha Ning was stunned and said, "Can King Yan defeat Songting Pass?" ”
"No," Gu Huai paused, "it might even be faster than this." ”
……
For cavalry, it was a very painful thing to go in and out of Yanshan to drill into the forest.
The continuous trees make the speed advantage of the cavalry unable to play, and the rugged mountain road makes the horse's hooves easy to be injured, occasionally a small pebble gets stuck in the horse's hooves, this horse is wasted, since entering Yanshan, there have been hundreds of horsemen left behind, and now the military order comes out, even if the soldiers are tired, they can only follow Gu Cheng's military order and follow the scouts who are exploring the road ahead.
That's right, Gu Cheng.
This time, the army of King Yan rescued Yongping, did not bring high-ranking generals like Zhang Yu Zhang Xin and Zhu Neng, but brought Gu Cheng, who had surrendered not long ago, one of them was naturally because of the last battle of Zhending, Gu Cheng showed his determination and ability, and now he is a trustworthy person, and Zhang Yu and Zhang Xin, as local generals, need to organize the defense line in the south of Beiping, and the newcomer Gu Chengcheng will inevitably seem too idle if he does not follow the expedition.
The second is because Gu Cheng's use of cavalry is really talented... It stands to reason that fighting a war takes time and experience to accumulate, no matter how much you read military books and go to the battlefield, young generals must grow up in blood and gunsmoke, but Gu Cheng does not follow this principle at all, and when it comes to cavalry combat alone, Gu Cheng, who is really sure to take elite cavalry in a battle, is really impressive.
So this time King Yan went to Yongping, and the deputy general was him.
Gently wiping off the sweat on his face under the helmet, Gu Cheng exhaled, only to feel that the green in his eyes was really irritating, and now King Yan was confronting the imperial court soldiers and horses with half of the soldiers and horses in Songting Pass, and this surprise attack on the mountain fell on his head, and he responded to it with a heartfelt meritorious service, but if he knew from the beginning that it was this kind of hard work, he would not want to come if he was really killed.
However, the quality of the Yan army's cavalry really surprised him along the way... If Gu Cheng is now carrying Yingtian's forbidden army, how to coax them into Yanshan is a big problem, Gu Cheng had heard before that a senior general of the three major battalions in the capital was ordered to go on the expedition, and when he arrived at the border, the soldiers in the border belt knew that he was going to fight Wara, so such a group of disobedient and unreliable second-rate sons refused to go to the battlefield as soon as they took off their armor.
If one or two can still serve in military law, but thousands of people are like this, they can't all be killed, right? Under such circumstances, he actually came up with a way to invite a group of hooligans to come to the barracks to gamble, and instructed these people to cheat his gang of hooligan soldiers out of money.
After coming and going, the soldiers lost all their money, and they owed gambling debts, you must know that the soldiers owed gambling debts must also be repaid, not to mention that the generals took the lead in gambling, so the general made a high-profile appearance, encouraging everyone to fight bravely, and when they win, they will not only be rewarded, but also help everyone settle the gambling debts.
was deceived like this, and it can be regarded as inviting those uncles to the battlefield, but the record is also conceivable.
More than 30 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the border army is still maintained at the peak, but what is the quality of the soldiers of the capital battalion and the local government soldiers who are accustomed to living a peaceful life? The Taiping world makes people slack, even Emperor Taizu can't help this, not to mention the current world, the generals in the court don't even have the qualifications to speak.
Therefore, the three major battalions in the capital can really only look at the surface, probably because the current majesty has to engage in military parades from time to time, so the face work of the capital battalion is simply amazing, the armor is distinct, the morale is like a rainbow, the military discipline is strict and immovable like a mountain, and the current majesty is full of joy and shouts that the military force of Gongwei Yingtian Jinling is the elite of the world.
You must know that you can play tricks with the generals, anyway, he can't do anything to himself if there are more people, but if you play tricks with the emperor, you have to touch your neck and think about how you will be cut later.
Sometimes I close my eyes and think about it, maybe the style of the three major battalions in the capital has continued like this, the performance is first-class, the patrol honor guard is first-class, and the bullying place is also first-class, but once it fights abroad, it will immediately admit it, and the kind that dare not go on the battlefield.
It's a desperate future...
Shaking his head slightly, throwing away these unrealistic thoughts as a general of the imperial court, Gu Cheng took out the map, and as the scout probed forward, the place marked on the map was getting closer and closer, if nothing else, if there was no accident, if he marched overnight, he should be able to bypass Songting Pass and appear in that place that no one could imagine.
Dengjiakou.
