Chapter 205: The Thief Ship Crashes
Gubeikou was attacked by the Tatars, and Ding Rukui jumped up in shock.
It took him half a day before he calmed down and asked for a face. Yan Song didn't dare to neglect this matter, and immediately took Ding Rukui to find Jiajing.
Jiajing frowned and half-closed his eyes: "How can I seem to have heard someone say about the attack on Gubeikou?" ”
Yan Song frowned, and before he could give Ding Rukui a look, Ding Rukui had already answered quickly.
"It's Xiao Feng who said it! Just when Qiu Luan went to Datong to take office, Xiao Feng asked Qiu Luan, what if the Tatars don't fight Datong and go directly to Gubeikou! ”
Jiajing also remembered, he looked at Ding Rukui: "Since Xiao Feng has thought about this, why didn't you think about this as the secretary of the military department?" ”
Ding Rukui was speechless, he really didn't expect it, but he didn't expect the Tatars to be so fast. Two days ago, he was still fighting Datong fiercely, and then he reported that the Tatars were moving in the direction of Taiyuan. Ding Rukui hurriedly asked people to inform and prepare reinforcements to Taiyuan, who knew that the Tatars made a false shot, and they didn't go to Taiyuan at all, and went straight to Gubeikou!
What Ding Rukui really struggled with was that he had too few cavalry available in his hands, and the Tatars would come and leave as they said, but his reinforcements could not do so. So when he withdrew his troops and horses from the direction of Datong and Taiyuan, the Tatars had already reached Gubeikou.
Although the Gubeikou defenders also made preparations, they also did not expect the Tatars to come so quickly and so fiercely, almost at any cost, and after a fierce battle, the Tatars broke through the defensive line.
Jiajing stood up and paced back and forth, obviously in a hurry.
"Gubeikou is so close to the Beijing Division, and there is almost no danger to defend in the middle, if the Tatars drive straight into the capital for a long time, what countermeasures will there be?"
Ding Rukui was well prepared for this, and immediately gave Jiajing a peace of mind pill.
"Long live, there are nearly 80,000 people in the three major battalions, there are still 20,000 forbidden troops in the city, and there is no problem in holding the capital.
What's more, the Tatars did not dare to stay around the capital for too long, and as soon as the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin arrived, the Tatars would be completely annihilated. ”
Jiajing thought about it in his heart, and felt that Ding Rukui's opinion was basically reliable, so he calmed down. But Yan Song seemed to suddenly think of something.
"Long live, since Xiao Feng can think that the Tatars might attack Gubeikou, it means that this person has military talents. Why not use Xiao Feng and lead troops to aid Gubeikou? ”
Well? Ding Rukui, Jiajing and Huang Jinliu's eyes suddenly looked at Yan Song, but Yan Song's expression was calm, and even a little aggrieved.
"Aiqing? Why do you recommend Xiao Feng? ”
"Long live, although Xiao Feng insulted the old minister, this is a personal vendetta; The battle against the Tatars is an official matter of the imperial court, and this is a big deal! As the first assistant, the old minister does not avoid relatives when he moves internally, and he does not avoid revenge when he moves externally, how dare he abolish the public for personal reasons? ”
Pretty! Huang Jin almost wanted to applaud Yan Song, he lowered his head wisely and didn't say anything.
After all, Ding Rukui is duty, and if he doesn't want to say it, he has to speak tactfully.
"Hooray, Shousuke-sama's words are reasonable and touching. But in the opinion of the minister, Xiao Feng has never led a soldier, and even if he is talented, it is only on paper.
It was too risky to lead the troops for the first time. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, don't forget Zhao Kuo's experience! ”
Yan Song pretended to cough, and then under the cover of the sleeves of his robe, he glared at Ding Rukui fiercely, and Ding Rukui shut up helplessly.
Jiajing nodded, he was not confused, in case Xiao Feng was defeated, Xiao Feng would be finished, the key was that the capital would also be dangerous.
However, he felt that what Yan Song said also made sense. Xiao Feng has been surprising himself, and it is not surprising that he can really win the battle.
"The two Aiqing are thoughtful and very relieved. In this way, you can choose from the military attache in Beijing who has the ability to lead troops, Xiao Feng is a military counselor. ”
This is Ding Rukui's profession, Ding Rukui rushed to recommend candidates before Yan Song spoke.
"Dengzhou commander Qi Jiguang, young and promising, skilled in the art of war, once led troops to level bandits in Dengzhou, and now listens to the tune in Beijing.
The minister talked to him many times about the art of war and warfare, and he knew what he could do. The minister recommended this person to lead troops to aid Gubeikou. ”
Yan Song shook his head and said, "This son is twenty-two years old, leading troops to fight, he is too young. ”
Huang Jin chuckled lightly on the side, and Jiajing looked sideways and said, "Why are you laughing?" ”
Huang Jin knelt down in fear: "Long live forgiveness, the slave heard Lord Ding say Qi Jiguang, and remembered some interesting things about him, so he couldn't help laughing, the king was rude, and the slave was guilty." ”
Jiajing has always been extremely friendly to Huang Jin, and he was very upset to see Huang Jin scared like this.
"Huang Ban doesn't have to be like this, flat body. Laughing and scolding, human nature, how can even laughter become a sin?
But what interesting things about this Qi Jiguang can reach your ears? ”
Huang Jin stood up, smiled and said, "How can the slave know about the foreign minister's affairs?" It was Xiao Feng who came into the palace some time ago and talked about Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang got married at the age of eighteen, his wife was born in Jiangmen, and her martial arts were extraordinary. When Qi Jiguang was in Dengzhouwei, he beat the mountain bandits and robbers to flee in all directions, but when he returned home, he was often beaten by his wife and fled in all directions.
Therefore, Dengzhou Wei rumored that Mrs. Qi Jiguang alone could reach 100,000 soldiers. ”
Jiajing laughed, even Yan Song couldn't help but laugh, but then he felt that the taste was wrong, Huang Jin's words seemed to be a joke about Qi Jiguang, but how did he feel that the focus was on Qi Jiguang's record in Dengzhou Wei?
Without waiting for Yan Song to come back, Jiajing had already made a decision.
"Qi Jiguang is the queen of the general, since he also has actual achievements in Dengzhou Wei, there is no problem in leading the troops.
Besides, Qi Jiguang and Xiao Feng have a very good relationship, Xiao Feng is his counselor, and he must do his best to avoid constrainment, so let's do it. ”
Ding Rukui hurriedly received the order, and then he didn't dare to look at Yan Song, and ran away.
After Yan Song arrived home, the other two corners were waiting. After Yan Shifan's beautiful turnaround, Zhao Wenhua's enthusiasm for coming to Yan's Mansion suddenly rose, and he came around as soon as he was on duty.
But today Yan Shifan was not very polite to him, and he wanted him to leave early, Zhao Wenhua was obedient, anyway, I didn't see my godfather, I can't leave first.
was squeezed by Yan Shifan, Zhao Wenhua overcame rigidity with softness, and turned his head to go to the main courtyard to meet his godmother.
Don't say it, compared to Yan Shifan, the godfather and godmother in this family are not bad to Zhao Wenhua. Mrs. Yan asked her godson to serve tea, and listening to her godson's anecdotes on the way on the business trip was also warm.
Zhao Wenhua saw Yan Song coming in from the main entrance, quickly got up to say goodbye to his godmother, and ran back to Yan Shifan's yard, causing Yan Shifan to roll his eyes for a while.
Yan Song sat down and took a sip of tea and nodded.
"It's not perfect, but it's a success. Qi Jiguang is a yellow-haired child, and I strictly ordered Ding Rukui not to give more soldiers and horses, causing the capital to be empty. They are like sheep in the mouth of a tiger. ”
Zhao Wenhua nodded again and again, cheering for his godfather, but also raised some doubts.
It's just that there are many routes from Gubeikou to the capital, and the Tatars may not dare to approach the capital again. The two of them took the sergeant out for a walk, and joined the Tatars in retreating, which gave them the opportunity to take the lead in the army. ”
Yan Shifan glanced at Zhao Wenhua, and said in his heart that if you don't leave, then you can't leave if you want to. He unfolded his fan and opened his mouth coldly.
"It doesn't matter, the Tatars will inevitably advance towards the capital, and Xiao Feng, no matter which way he goes, I have a way for him to meet the army of the Tatars!"
Zhao Wenhua trembled, looked at Yan Shifan in horror, his lips moved twice, and even Yan Song raised his head unexpectedly.
"Donglou, do your best to obey the fate of heaven, if you can send Xiao Feng into the army, you will ask him for half his life, and you have to do what you say......"
Yan Song suddenly shut up, he understood what his son meant, but he really didn't know that there was such a link in his son's plan before.
Zhao Wenhua suddenly patted his head.
"Oh, Mrs. also said that my wife and brother will visit tonight, you see I'm busy and forgetful, Father, East Building, I'll go home first."
Yan Shifan smiled and nodded: "I don't know how my brother went home?" ”
Zhao Wenhua was stunned by Yan Shifan's sudden politeness, and replied hesitantly.
"By car or in a sedan chair?"
"Let's sit in a coffin."
Zhao Wenhua was so frightened that he sat down and looked at his godfather for help.
This time, Yan Song sighed after a long time.
"East Building, Wenhua is his own person, don't be so mean."
Some people died, but not completely......
