Chapter 209: Finish the East Wall and Fill the West Wall
Chapter 209 Finish the East Wall and Fill the West Wall
If the Battle of Chuzhou is the culmination of Gao Yingxiang's life peak, then Lu Xiangsheng is undoubtedly the one who stood behind him, kicked him hard in the ass, and kicked him from the peak to the abyss.
Chuzhou was in danger, and when the officers and soldiers in Jiangnan sent troops back to help, Lu Xiang was promoted.
I dare to say that if there is any department such as the Transportation Administration in the Ming Dynasty, then Lu Xiangsheng will undoubtedly be the first few of the people who have made the greatest contribution to this department.
He is the governor of the five provinces appointed by the emperor personally, including Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, which are basically within his jurisdiction. Like this time, when he ran to Jingshi, Azig had already left, and before he could take a breath, he carried him to Nanzhili again with a holy decree.
I have to say that Lu Xiangsheng is a very dedicated person, dedicated to the point of hard work, hard work, and being able to fight when he is called. Although, this time he came to relieve the siege of Chuzhou, he brought more than 20,000 people with him, and the opponent was more than 300,000 troops. He didn't even blink an eyelid, and just packed it.
Gao Yingxiang was not very happy when he heard the arrival of this old opponent, but this time, he was not too frightened. Without him, others are just bold. A few days ago, although he claimed to be 200,000, but after removing the water of his family and the exiles, the number of soldiers who can actually fight will be greatly discounted, but now he has 300,000 armor, but the 300,000 people who dare to fight are really like a fake, and the essence of the exile army is basically gathered here, and Lu Xiangsheng came with more than 20,000 people this time, in his opinion, it is nothing more than adding another big dish to the feast of Chuzhou. Fifteen of my men beat you to death, and I crushed you to death, so why be afraid.
It's a pity that Gao Yingxiang's arithmetic is very good, but the war is fought by people, not arithmetic, if according to his logic, everyone starts fighting, and there is no need to do it directly, pull out the team, count the number of people, and those with few people can directly admit defeat and go home. The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Huangshui will not be passed down through the ages as an example of winning more with less.
Not to mention, the 20,000 Chinese people, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, there are also 3,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry of the General Soldier Zu Kuan.
The battle kicked off at the Wuli Bridge outside Chuzhou. The fight was not long, half a day, and the outcome was decided. In the east of the city, there is a very wide river called Chushui, which flows very quickly and flows around Chuzhou. In many wars, when describing how fierce the battle is and how many casualties are, I like to use one word--- blood drifting pestle, colloquialism, and it will say, what blood has stained the whole river red, and so on.
However, here, this similar word is absolutely useless, I don't know if I am drifting or not, but it is absolutely impossible to dye the whole river red, because... There is no water in the river at all.
The war started in the morning and ended in the afternoon, and this "very fast" Chushui has been completely cut off, in more official language, it is "the corpses are filled in the ditch, and the Chushui does not flow", it is worth mentioning that the source of these corpses, most of them are Gao Yingxiang's subordinates.
Then, Gao Yingxiang stopped his dream of being an emperor and a general and began to run away with his subordinates, while Lu Xiangsheng still began to chase behind as always, just like in the previous months. This job, the two of them are very familiar with it, and they have a tacit understanding. The only difference is that this time, Lu Xiangsheng seems to be a little passive and less dedicated, and he only drove Gao Yingxiang for fifty miles, and then he won't do it.
Well, you're ruthless!
Gao Yingxiang has completely recognized the situation, as long as there is a place where King Lu Yan is, he will never be able to get anything better, it doesn't matter, there is no place to stay here, I don't want to go to Nanjing, I don't want to go to Chuzhou, I will go to Henan. This person has to talk about some shame, the world is so big, you can't always chase me so skinless and faceless.
Maybe he was tired for a few days, or he was waiting for reinforcements, Lu Xiangsheng stayed in Chuzhou for a few days, and then embarked on a journey, the goal was still Gao Yingxiang. There is no doubt that he is the skinless and faceless person in Gao Yingxiang's mouth, and he still identifies him.
Go to Henan, always have to cross the Yellow River, Gao Yingxiang led the army to Shoushan, where is the ferry, as long as he passes, hold the ferry, this Lu Xiangsheng even if he is not convinced, he will not put on his wings and fly over the Yellow River with people for a while. And without this nemesis, north of the Yellow River, it is still a vast world where he gallops across the king.
When he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, there was already a soldier and horse on the opposite ferry, and on the big banner fluttering in the wind, there was a huge "Liu" character.
Liu Ze, the general soldier of Henan, had already occupied the ferry early in the morning, and he had envisioned the situation for Lu Xiangsheng's army, but Lu Xiangsheng had not yet realized it, but he tasted it first, and his army of displaced people could not grow wings either.
Liu Zeqing is not a lot of people, tens of thousands of people, but he blocked the ferry and burned the boat, even if Zhuge Liang is reincarnated, he can only sigh at the ferry in the face of this situation. Gao Yingxiang is not Zhuge Liang, and his subordinates are not winged birdmen, so he has to find another way.
The road sign of the Liumin Army began to turn again, pointing to Kaifeng, this time, the road was not so peaceful, because, there were officers and soldiers who ran fast, had caught up with him, this time, he met a general from Liaodong, Zu Dale. Does that sound familiar? Zu Kuan, Zu Da Le, Zu Da Shou...... Yes, they are in a group, they are all Zu Dashou's subordinates, and the main force under them, there is no suspense that it is Guan Ning Tieqi.
Don't say anything, let's run! Just now in Chuzhou, the exile army who was killed by the Guanning Iron Cavalry and lost their armor, when they met this group of unreasonable people, they had no fighting spirit, so they casually took a look, left the corpses of thousands of people, and ran away.
However, things are getting more and more wrong, there seem to be more and more officers and soldiers, and one by one is hard stubble, when he ran to Zhuxian Town, Gao Yingxiang met a person, a fierce man who turned his successor into a one-eyed dragon six years later--- Chen Yongfu. At this time, Chen Yongfu, although not as awesome as six years later, the reason why the fierce man is called a fierce man must have his reasons, and it has little to do with time and place, so the exile army was defeated again.
"The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!" This sentence can best describe Gao Yingxiang's mood at this time, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers pressing step by step, maybe the big and small leaders who finally shouted would have to disperse, and what's worse is that he began to realize that he has no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground, it seems that no matter where he goes, he can meet officers and soldiers one by one, and every stubble is a hard idea, although he has more men and horses than in the first half of the year, but the situation seems to be a little more critical.
What should come should be coming, come out to mix, always have to be returned, the meaning of this sentence, in Nanyang, Henan, in Qiding Mountain, this little-known place, Gao Yingxiang once again understood, although he had experienced it in Yunyang a few years ago, obviously, that experience was not as profound as this time. Here, the Wandering Army finally ushered in the last decisive battle with the officers and soldiers. If you don't fight, you can't do it, the exile army is embattled, and they have no way out.
It sounds a little funny, because at that time, even if Gao Yingxiang and Gao Chuangwang's men were defeated all the way, there were still more than 100,000 troops, and the officers and soldiers of Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army were only more than 50,000 people, but these more than 50,000 people were stunned to surround these more than 100,000 people, and they rushed to Qiding Mountain like ducks.
In view of the performance of the Wandering Army in the previous battles, this time, the Wandering Army did not give the world a surprise, the Battle of Qiding Mountain, the Wandering Army was almost wiped out, and Gao Yingxiang only led more than 1,000 horsemen to escape. "The No. 1 Strongman in the World" Gao Yingxiang completely used his own name and the bones of thousands of homeless people to fulfill Lu Xiangsheng.
Fortunately, no matter what, Gao Yingxiang is also a hero, at least, as a hero, Gao Yingxiang has done quite well in terms of not thinking about winning and losing first. Before leaving, he left Li Zicheng and his new army, and he quietly hid some private money for himself, even if it was a big gamble, his family foundation was almost completely lost, but after all, he still had the capital to turn over. Therefore, once he saw the situation clearly, he immediately turned his horse's head without hesitation and went over the mountains to find his own private money.
After Lu Xiangsheng completed this glorious battle, the scenery was gone, Chongzhen came to the will, he changed his position, the new position is the governor of Xuanda, and the opponent is no longer the wandering army of the wandering people, but the Qing Dynasty outside the Guan.
Yes, that's right, it's not the Houjin, it's the Qing Dynasty, because at this time, in the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji founded the country.
In the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen (the novelist said, there is a slight deviation in the historical records, purely for literary creation, and the party should not be more serious), Huang Taiji abandoned the name of the Jin Khanate, founded the country and said the Qing Dynasty, set the capital Shengjing, changed the Yuan Chongde, and the ministers were called the Emperor Kuan Wen Rensheng, that is, the Qing Taizong of the later generations.
In the ministers on the congratulatory table, when the honorific number, there was also a big bad scenery, according to the example, this founding ceremony is such a solemn thing, just like the opening of business, if there are no three or five friends to cheer, just rely on a few children in their own family to be happy there, it is not like that, you have to send an invitation or something.
But you, a guy who was born as a robber, want to clear your name now, and you still count on the people who have been robbed by you before and are still being robbed by you, how much face will you give, and you can't help but look down on yourself. North Korea is the unlucky guy who has been robbed repeatedly, fortunately, although the North Koreans are a little bit of a vegetable in the war, but there are still a few hard bones, this Huang Taiji new store opened, and the golden palace is a piece of gold and a jade pillar, and there is still a person who is holding the pestle at the straight end.
This person's name is Luo Xian, a North Korean envoy.
