Chapter 219: Infighting
Chapter 219 Internal fighting
Windy Hunting.
Wang Ershan's leather armor is full of spirit, and his gray beard is particularly eye-catching against the background of the red cloak behind him. What was Lord Wang waiting for?
After the siege of Guiyang was broken, Wang Ershan did not stop, while sending flying horses to report to the Beijing Division, he led the army all the way to the west to pursue An Bangyan. In just over two months, the Ming army took the Zhenxiao soldiers as the forerunner, and even Kewei Qingwei, Zhenxiwei, Yachi, Shuixiyi, and Luxiangyi were victorious, and the soldiers reached Qianxi.
In front is the generous three hundred miles west of Guiyang.
Wang Ershan didn't wait too long. The spring afternoon sun was shining on his body, and Lord Wang felt a little hot, and was about to take off his iron helmet to breathe, when he suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the military formation of the troops below the slope.
Wang Ershan smiled. The hands stretched out to the iron helmet did not untie the leather cord under the chin, but straightened the helmet again, straightened his waist, and looked at the mountain road in front of him with blazing eyes.
"Report ......" The two knights raised a small flaming red flag, and shouted loudly to Wang Ershanchi. Repay the honorable man, our army has been restored to generosity. In this battle, Qian Wu was beheaded, and Deputy Marshal Tian was leading the army to sweep away the remnants of the thieves, so that the humble lord respectfully invited Lord Fuzun to enter the city! The two military envoys galloped in front of Wang Ershan, rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on one knee and announced the victory loudly.
"Good!" Wang Ershan praised loudly with a smile, and then his face was solemn, "The whole army has entered the city!" Spread this order, each will restrain the tribes, not to set arson to the people, burn and kill the prostitutes! ”
When Wang Ershan entered the Dafang County Ya, Tian Baisheng also returned. Lord Wang, who was in a good mood, had just said a few words of encouragement, but he didn't expect Tian Baisheng to ask to return to his hometown again. Wang Ershan knew that he really couldn't keep him this time.
In the past two months, Tian Baisheng's life has not been easy.
At the beginning, Tian Baisheng promised Lord Wang to send troops to help relieve the siege of Guiyang, and he did it. It was not until in order to eliminate the aftermath of the comeback of the Shuixi Army that the Zhenxiao soldiers successively captured Pingbawei, Weiqingwei and Zhenxiwei, completely removing the threat of Guiyang, at that time, Tian Baisheng proposed to lead the army back to his hometown for the first time. After walking all the way from Zhenyuan to Guiyang for more than half a year, what kind of virtue is the dignified Ming official army who can scare himself at every turn, but the king can be regarded as having a clear understanding, how can he be put back so easily? So Wang Ershan called Tian Baisheng and opened the palace newspaper during this time, the purpose was to let him know his difficult situation, and he was ready to persuade him to stay for a while. Unexpectedly, after reading them all, Wang Ershan himself was so frightened that he was speechless on the spot for a long time - in order to urge Xinfu to enter the army, the court said all the cruel things that could be said: Threats such as dismissal and investigation, and transfer to the ministry are simply pediatric, and going to prison to ask for guilt and family members are not the most powerful, and even "the head of the nine sides thought that the first soldier was afraid of the enemy" was written in black and white on the newspaper!
There is no need to bother to persuade him, seeing Wang Fuzun's old face frozen on the chair, Tian Baisheng finally took the initiative to say cautiously: "Or ...... I still don't go back first, and then I can help the old man lay some ground. Looking at this situation, just to relieve the siege of Guiyang without a few big victories that can be said to be passable, the old man is afraid that he will not be able to explain to the imperial court......"
Wang Ershan regretted it in his heart: he recommended Zhang Fang to be a barbarian general, but as a result, this person who ate live people sold human flesh and promoted Xu Shizhen, this one immediately gave you a whole army to be wiped out, and then promoted to understand Zhongren, and then a pontoon bridge can cost you three months but it was not built! As for the deputy general Tian in front of him, he was originally a local magistrate in Huguang, and it can be said that he has nothing to do with guarding Guiyang and aiding Guiyang, but he still came, and he made great efforts...... Fortunately, no matter what, Guiyang was relieved, and Wang Ershan, who was really upset, thought that he could speak, so he wrote a note to the imperial court to help the solid-eyed deputy general Tian ask for an official position as a general soldier - I didn't expect the song to be rejected in the cabinet!
The reason is very sufficient: first of all, your old king knows people too badly, you can see for yourself what you used to protect, the official position of the imperial court is not a child's play, you can't be told to have nothing to do! Secondly, the court has given a lot of grace to the Tian family, and it is his duty to contribute troops, and if he makes a little contribution, he will be crowned an official, and he is still a little conscious? Third, there is a bunch of nonsense in the clouds, and the elders of the pavilion did not say it explicitly, but between the lines, there is a meaning of "Don't look at this guy surnamed Tian, but in fact, he is also a Miao man who is not of my race, you have to be careful......
Wang Ershan felt awkward, and he couldn't tell Tian Baisheng the truth, so he always felt sorry for him. However, Deputy General Tian didn't take it to heart at all, what should he do, he took the lead in overcoming obstacles, and he didn't care about the name of the commander-in-chief.
However, gradually, Tian Baisheng felt that life was not easy.
Fortunately, the Zhenxiao soldiers arrived and defeated An Bangyan's suspicious troops left near Guiyang to relieve the plight of the lonely city - but Xie Zhongren and other generals did not think so.
The battle of Qilichong was indeed not too intense. It is an indisputable fact that An Bangyan only left six or seven hundred people there to contain and harass, and he took the main force to run to Qianxi, so he was broken by the Zhenxiao soldiers who had an absolute superiority in strength and did not believe in evil. Then Deputy Marshal Xie was not convinced: I knew that this was the case, Lao Tzu had so many soldiers, wouldn't it be the same if he rushed up in one go? You said that you are hateful and hateful—of course, at this time, none of them can think of the fact that those "male soldiers" under their command could scare themselves into blowing up the camp in the middle of the night with a nightmare.
All the generals felt that if they solved the siege of Guiyang, they would complete the task, and they could even make a windfall with their feet. But at this time, not to mention floating wealth, even the living people were eaten by Zhang Fang and Huang Yunqing, and there were not a few left, can you not hold your breath? In other words, although Qilichong was beaten by the barbarian of Natian, doesn't our brothers have any credit? If that's the case, let's all go home and see if the barbarian's three thousand pigs and dogs can put An Wei Ping! As the saying goes, there is no merit, there should always be some hard work, right? But the imperial court didn't have any merit rewarded!
Everyone has walked so far from Huguang and Qiandong with their heads, and it is just that they have not made a fortune or have no rewards, so it is not too much to rest in the city for a while, right? This barbarian has nothing to do but lead his troops westward - yes, no one wants to stop now, they all have to follow! It seems that this dog is going to ask the court for the name of the town no matter what! Phew! Why don't you pee and take a picture of your black and sunken nose, the chief soldier? Handsome? You deserve it?!
There was no hard battle on the way from Zhenyuan Mansion to Guiyang, especially with the experience of Qili Chong, all the generals felt that An Bangyan was actually vulnerable. Since they wanted to go west, they could no longer let Tian Manzi steal the limelight, so everyone fought impassionedly and bravely, but left Tian Baisheng behind.
Then he was beaten up by An Bangyan head-on.
Zhang Fang and Huang Yunqing knew that they had caused too much harm to Guiyang. If the final aid is broken, the two who have horses and guards estimate that they will definitely be able to run away, and Li Jingwu Shi Yongan and several civil officials will be loyal to the country, and if they can't do it, they can also take advantage of the chaos to ask someone to kill them - in this way, there is no proof of death, as long as there are soldiers in hand, the court can only pretend to be confused and close one eye to fool the past, at most it is just a formality such as punishment and demotion. However, An Bangyan was beaten away, and it is impossible for civil officials not to settle accounts with themselves for the sins they created before, and at this time, they must make some merit to save their lives! So without waiting for Wang Ershan to talk nonsense, the second general led the soldiers and horses out of the city first to "find An Bian to take revenge". They took the northern road: from Longchangyi to Luguang, then along the river to Qingshansi, at Huangshadu across the Luguang River, to Xiongsuo Zexi (now Jinsha, Guizhou) - this place is next to Zunyi, as long as the forces of An Bangyan in this area are pulled out, most of the territory can be smoothly incorporated into Zhang Fang's military camp, and Huang Yunqing, who is in cahoots, can also get a piece of the pie.
It's a pity that they are still a step too slow.
Don't look at Vice Marshal Xie Zhongren's slow bridge building and slow marching, he feels that he is not slow at all when he has a cheap time! The day after General Zhang Huang set off, Deputy Marshal Xie also led his headquarters out of the city, went straight to Yachi from Weiqingwei, and crossed the Yachi River first. In order to monopolize the great achievements, you must drag the footsteps of Tian Manzi! After crossing the river, Deputy General Xie drove all the ferries in the direction of Rouyuan of the Sancha River in the south - hehe, look at how you come!
The Luguang River is actually the Yachi River, which is roughly southwest-northeast, and is bounded by the Cheng River (now Dicheng River, Ximao Jumping River, Xiuwen County, Guizhou) that flows in from the middle of the two places, the northern section is called Luguang River, and the southern section is called Yachi River.
An Bangyan led the army to counterattack Qianxi, although he did not know the small abacus of the Ming army generals, but according to common sense speculation, it was estimated that the official army would take advantage of the situation to pursue, so he left a force in Yachi to block it. Unexpectedly, he didn't know the cause at all, but he hit the ground crookedly and got the right result - Deputy General Xie crashed headlong into the encirclement!
As soon as he found out that he was ambushed, Xie Zhongren thought that An Bangyan was another suspicious soldier who had reused his old skills, and he supervised the battalion soldiers to hedge against the Shuixi Army. In less than half an hour, the defeated soldiers fled back all over the mountains, followed by many fierce and vicious Miao soldiers screaming and slashing! Xie Zhongren reacted quickly, and left without saying a word. But he didn't retreat in the direction of Wei Qingwei, but instead led the army to run north along the river - Deputy Marshal Xie has more eyes than ordinary people, and at such an urgent moment, Xie Zhongren did not forget to calculate: he made it clear that he would let go of the road to Guiyang and run north, and you could directly fight to the empty east! Behind is Tian Manzi's town soldiers, tens of thousands of Miao soldiers rushed over, it is definitely enough for Tian Manzi to drink a pot! Moreover, there is an army of Zhang and Huang on the north road, how can there be a response?
Not really.
An Bangyan left behind to fight the attack is Wusa Tusi An Xiaoliang, this is a solid-eyed Hanhan! An Bangyan got into trouble, An Xiaoliang was one of the first toasts to respond, loyal to An Bangyan, don't look at the brain is not very good, but the battle is very violent. People with bad brains often admit to death: Isn't fighting a war just cutting each other off? If you run, won't we have to chase? This truth is simply as clear as one chicken plus one chicken equals two chickens!
So he chased Xie Zhongren and chased all the way north!
Hearing the report of the discovery of friendly troops in the south, Zhang Fang and Huang Yunqing, who had regarded Xiongsuo Zexi as their private property and were pointing to a few mountains to discuss how to divide it, glanced at each other, and both saw the anger in each other's eyes: Damn, are you here to grab the cheap from Lao Tzu's territory? The whole army is arrayed to stop these bastards! Oh, by the way, after all, it's a friendly army, it doesn't matter if you get three or more lives, it's always not good to have too many dead, don't bring knives, guns, guns and guns, or whatever, just take a stick and a pickaxe......
Deputy Marshal Xie, who was running at the front, saw the friendly troops surging in the distance, and his hanging heart was slightly lowered, and when he got closer, he found the weapons in the hands of those friendly soldiers - he was a little confused at first, but then he figured out the reason, and the hatred in his heart!
At this time, Zhang Huang Ermarshal also got the detailed military information from the second batch of detectives: the friendly army was defeated, and there were thousands of Miao Man with knives chasing behind him!
There is no need to think about the result: the two people and horses are running around in one place, and An Xiaoliang chased them all the way to the vicinity of Yanglongkeng before collecting troops. Huang Yunqing died in the chaos of the army, and the staff general attacked the generals of the Ming army above the "killed" seven people, and the garrison killed more than 20 people!
After Xie Zhongren returned to Wei Qingwei in a big circle, before he could take a breath, he got another good news that made him angry: Tian Baisheng, the deputy general of Zhenxiao, did not find the ferry, and wasted all his strength to cut down wood and build rafts, and the whole army had just crossed the Yachi River and blocked the Shuixi thief An Xiaoliang who returned to Shigu with unsuspecting triumph!
An Xiaoliang never thought that he had just chased so many Ming soldiers and was ambushed by the town soldiers at the door of his house!
Yes, Tian Baisheng's department beheaded nearly a thousand, a great victory!
Okay, your surname is Tian, you can't get along with Lao Tzu! Okay, with you, even if we have a tie with you!
After that, Xie Zhongren instigated other generals of the Ming army, and found unhappiness for the town soldiers everywhere: today you blocked the road and told your grain truck to pass, tomorrow you found fault and beat the auxiliary team that sent supplies to Tianbe, and sneered at Tian Baisheng in private on weekdays, but as long as Wang Ershan was present, everyone was full of smiles and respects to Deputy Marshal Tian......
At first, Wang Ershan really didn't notice it, and Tian Baisheng himself didn't say it. But after a long time, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and Wang Ershan finally found out. But what if you know? In addition to beating them and warning them not to go too far, Lord Wang actually didn't have much to do - the Ming army even soldiers with auxiliary soldiers plus the total number of soldiers and civilians with them exceeded 40,000, and the fields were only 3,000, and many things still needed the cooperation of those military leaders.
Therefore, Tian Baisheng proposed to return to Huguang at this time, Wang Ershan had no reason and was embarrassed to force him to stay anymore - these things that people have done, these grievances, and hundreds of brothers who have died, but they are all for you, Lao Wang, no!
After bidding farewell to Tian Baisheng, Wang Ershan was depressed for a while, but soon his mood improved: the generous west is Bijie - and after Bijie, there is Zhenxiong Mansion in Sichuan Province in front of it!
More than eighty percent of the land in Guizhou has been recovered by the officials and soldiers, and An Rebellion can only huddle with extravagance to keep warm, huddled in a few very limited areas to survive and breathe, and people are panicked. Not long ago, a rebel general named Chen Qiyu led his troops to surrender, no, An Shun himself had already sent an envoy to invite peace?
Wang Ershan rejected An Bangyan's invitation and was understandable: since he openly rebelled, he found that the general trend had gone, and he should surrender! And? Which one is the same? If you want to descend, you will descend, who will be with you?
It's a pity that Lord Wang, who has always been a high-ranking Beijing official, knows everything about high-level power struggles and seriously lacks practical experience in local affairs, was carried away by the victory in front of him, made a series of serious mistakes, and in the end, paid the heaviest price for it......
