Chapter 404: The Wind and the Clouds (4)
People often pay attention to fate, some people are together every day but how you look at it is not pleasing to the eye, some people just see it once can make you never forget, this kind of fate is something that no one can say. Wu and Lin are both wise men, but wise men are also human beings, although they are more rational, but after all, they are still mortals, so there are inevitably people's feelings, for Yinzuo's sons, Wu and Lin both know each other, although they have never talked about these elder brothers, and the two of them have never publicly expressed their support for which elder brother, but they are very clear to each other - Wu Sidao likes Hongli more, and Lin Xuanyi values promoting more, this is also a matter of fate, and it is impossible to say clearly.
It's just that feelings belong to feelings, as the top wise men today, Wu and Lin will never and dare not take into account their own feelings when making decisions, after all, what kind of person Yinzuo is Wu and Lin are clear - decisive killing, although open-minded, but the means are very spicy, coupled with enough shrewdness, this kind of monarch is the most difficult person to wait, without Yinzuo's permission to participate in the battle of the heavenly family, it will definitely not have a good result.
"Hongli, since you know that this military report is fraudulent, what are you going to do?" Wu Sidao was silent for a long time, and when he saw that the room full of people did not speak, he sighed secretly in his heart and asked.
Hongli smiled harmlessly and said: "If Mr. Wu is returned, the little nephew will not do anything, unless it is the thirteenth uncle or the two gentlemen who explain otherwise." ”
Hongli's words sound simple, but the content is very rich: first of all, he wants to tell everyone that he already knows that this is a trap, a trap to deal with Prince Lian Yunxi; second, it shows that he will never get involved in this matter himself; Third, that is, if it is necessary for him to cooperate, he will definitely do his best. The people present are all thoughtful characters, although Hongli's words are beautiful, but they can't hide the big guys, but whether Hongli should be allowed to come out to act, no one dares to call the shots, Hongli's words came out, and the study immediately fell silent, and all the people fell into contemplation.
"Well, Hongli, you don't have to worry about things outside the palace, tomorrow the rumors of the Jingshi will rise, it is inevitable that someone will spread the word into the palace, it doesn't matter to other people, in short, you can't let the Queen Mother worry, what to do, you have your own ideas." Yunxiang is the person in charge, and it is not a way to stalemate like this when he sees that the big guys don't open their mouths, so he has to find something to let Hongli do it, and it can be regarded as an explanation.
"Yes, the little nephew understands that it's not too early, so the little nephew will leave, and the thirteenth uncle and the two gentlemen will stay." Hongli smiled very briskly, bowed down and made a group salute, turned around and walked out of the study, accompanied by Yunxiang out of the palace, and went back to the palace by himself.
"Two gentlemen, the king didn't do anything wrong about the eldest brother?" After Yunxiang sent Hongli, he returned to the study to see that Wu and Lin, the two major strategists, were sitting silently, and asked a little weakly.
Wu and Lin didn't talk about it, and after glancing at each other, Wu Sidao smiled and said, "Lord Wang, it's time to start the plan, there will be a chaos tomorrow, and the preparations that should be made must be done well in advance." ”
Yun Xiang saw that Wu and Lin didn't mention the matter of the eldest brother, so he knew that these two great strategists would never show interest in the elder brother in front of people, and he was a little weak in his heart, but it was not good to ask again, so he had to shake his head, smiled bitterly, sat down on his own, and put forward the whole plan again, and the four of them discussed it in detail......
Rumors are winged demons, and the speed of transmission is always surprisingly fast, and the military newspaper has already ordered the news to be blocked, but the content of the military newspaper has already spread all over the streets - before the third quarter of the unitary hour, the restaurants in the streets and alleys, the gang of idlers in the brothel have already talked about it, and there are dozens of versions, all of which are vivid, with noses and eyes, as if everyone has witnessed the battle with their own eyes, and there are rumors of everything, and there is even news that the saint was arrested and beheaded, What a "messy" word.
In the past, Prince Lian's mansion, which was always full of traffic and guests, was quiet and lifeless, and all the courtiers who came to visit got the news that Prince Lian was sick and would not be a guest. This seems to be too coincidental, after all, yesterday Yun Xi also feasted guests, witty words with all kinds of people, how to get sick in one day, but well, it is common for people to have three illnesses and six disasters, but no one will have any bad thoughts, and the courtiers who came to visit or come to fight the autumn breeze had to take advantage of the excitement to go away.
At this moment, Yun Xi, who was "sick", was walking back and forth in the secret room of his palace excitedly, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the military advisor Wen Ruihe. Yun Xi doesn't want to fail, he can't afford to lose, after defeat, he only has to be slaughtered, so he can only be careful and careful, in order to keep it secret, his plan of action this time didn't even tell those "henchmen", only the real participants know part of the details, as for the overall plan, only he and Wen Ruihe can be clear, whether it can be done in the end depends on whether Wen Ruihe's actions tonight go well, so Yun Xi is anxious, but there is nothing to do, he can only wait for the judgment of fate.
"Lord Wang." Wen Ruihe interrupted Yun Xu's ramblings with a low snort.
"Oh, sir is back, if you are tired, sit down first, take a sip of tea, and take a breath." Yun Yu was anxious, but he still calmed down and expressed his concern for Wen Ruihe first.
"Lord Xie cares." Wen Ruihe sat down, smiled and said: "Wen's trip is considered to be a disgraceful mission, they agreed not to interfere with the actions of the prince, but they will not come forward to help, the condition is that the prince must take the Eight Banners as the priority, and must not tamper with the Eight Banners firm, and the firearms must be in the hands of the Eight Banners alone, well, I hope that some of the shares in the Eight Banners that originally belonged to the Sixth Master can be distributed to the big guy." Wen Ruihe shook his fan lightly and said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." Yun Yu muttered: "As long as they don't move, the king of the capital will have an eighty percent chance of winning, and if the king wins, Mr. Wen will be the number one hero of the king." ”
"The prince can't be careless, the thirteenth master and the eldest brother are not so easy to bluff, and the fourth master is also watching from the side, all of this will have to wait until tomorrow to really see." Wen Ruihe saw that Yun Yu was a little out of shape, and hurriedly reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes, what Mr. Wen said is very true, now is not the time to relax, this king knows this in his heart." Yun Yu restrained his mind for a moment and said calmly: "Shouldn't something go wrong at the end of the Nine Gate Admiral's Yamen?" ”
"Well, Chongwenmen, Xizhimen, and Deshengmen have now completely fallen into our hands; Andingmen and Zhengyangmen also have nearly half of the people sent by the prince and Qian, which can be regarded as barely controlled; Xuanwu Gate, Fucheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, these four gates also have the prince's people, although the situation can not be controlled, but to create some chaos can still be done, as long as these four gates do not move, our side with the strength of the three gates to attack the palace, it should not be too difficult to take the Shanpu camp, as long as the imperial city is controlled, the big thing will be decided. Among them, Chongwenmen is the key, although Liangcheng has promised to cooperate with the prince, but Puheng is still a little uncertain about this person, well, tomorrow I will see the opportunity to get rid of this person first, so as to save a lot of dreams at night. Wen Ruihe counted with his fingers.
"Okay, tomorrow morning is the day of the collegiate meeting, this king, as the minister of the upper study, will also go to the collegiate discussion, now the rumors have risen, the curfew of the nine gates is imperative, and then the herald will order De Aron to take the lead in killing Liangcheng." Yun Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Well, I think it works." Wen Ruihe took out a topographic map of the capital division from the chair next to him, and pointed and whispered to Yun Yu on the map about the action plan......
At three o'clock in the afternoon of April 12 in the third year of Yuanzhuo, there was a strange war scene on the steppe in the west - the Russian army phalanx continued to advance with guns, and the Qing cavalry kept retreating, whenever the Russian army approached to the point where it was about to attack, the Qing cavalry retreated a distance, but they refused to retreat, nor did they launch a desperate charge, the two sides seemed to be tacitly playing a pantomime, just advancing and retreating, and before three moments, the Russian army marching rapidly rushed to the vicinity of the meadow, At this time, the Qing cavalry seemed to be unable to bear to stop, no longer adopting a loose retreat marching formation, but lined up a triangular formation of arrows ready to attack, with a posture of intending to fight to the death.
"Uh-huh, are you going to die? That's good, General Ben will fulfill you" Major General Bukhrusky looked at the Qing cavalry lined up in the distance, looked at the map in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, scolded with a smile, turned to the herald and said: "Go, inform Colonel Chulyusky to prepare for the attack, and when the cannon goes off, rush forward immediately to drive away those pesky flies." ”
"Yes, General." The herald, who had received the order, gave a military salute and charged towards the cluster of Cossack cavalry on the flank of the Russians.
The Russian phalanx stopped one hundred and fifty zhang away in front of the Daqing cavalry array, and the artillery regiment busily dragged more than a dozen cannons out of the middle of the queue and placed them in front of the Russian phalanx. Suddenly, more than ten shells roared and smashed into the direction of the Qing cavalry array, but did not hit the Qing army array lined up in a dense queue, only a near-missed bullet exploded a few meters in front of the Qing army column, and the flying earth and gravel and the roar of the explosion startled the war horses under the seat of the Qing army to move for a while, and the originally neat queue became a pot of porridge for a while.
"Cossack attack!" Colonel Chulyusky saw that the Qing army array was in chaos, and saw that the time had come, waved the saber in his hand, gave a loud order, and rushed towards the Qing cavalry by himself, and more than 500 Cossack cavalry also shouted "Ula" and rushed up, and at the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky, the acting commander of the 1st Guards Regiment, rode on a horse, and also gave the order to attack at the same time, and the 1st Russian regiment in a neat queue divided into three phalanxes and began to move forward, and the artillery kept firing, Use artillery fire to give favorable support to your own attacking troops.
Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the cavalry of the Qing army could no longer maintain the formation at all, and became a mess, Ada saw that the situation was not good, and the saber in his hand was raised, shouting: "Retreat, retreat!" The chaotic Qing army left behind a dozen corpses and fled desperately behind Ada towards Mount Kalamaili, behind whom the Cossack cavalry was in hot pursuit and the Russian brigade that followed after them.
It's coming, it's finally coming! Yin Zuo stood on the hillside and used a telescope to observe a burst of people rolling in the distance, the strings that had always been taut in his heart finally loosened a little, estimated the time, beckoned and said, "Wang Changtai." ”
"The minister is here!" Wang Changtai, who was standing in the group of generals standing behind Yinzuo, hurriedly stepped forward, made a thousand, and said in a loud voice.
"Order the troops to enter the combat state, this battle cannot be lost, if you let Lao Maozi break out, I will take your head to sacrifice the flag." Yin Zuo ordered in a calm voice.
"Wow!" Wang Changtai shouted a promise, got up and ran to the group of generals, and quickly issued a series of battle orders, and after receiving the orders, the commanders of each department rushed down the hill and returned to the troops, each busy preparing for battle.
"Shengshang, it's dangerous here, Shengshang better go first and then avoid it, and leave it to the minister, and the minister swears that he won't let Lao Maozi rush up this mountain." Wang Changtai saw Yinzuo standing on the top of the mountain, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and admonished.
"I'm not going anywhere, right here, I'm going to watch my soldiers kill the enemy, if Lao Maozi can rush up this mountain, hey, this battle doesn't have to be fought." Yin Zuo laughed, waved his hand and said, "I believe that my warriors will not let the enemy break through the blockade line to attack this place, don't worry. ”
"This ......" Wang Changtai has followed Yinzuo for many years, so he naturally understands Yinzuo's personality, and knows that once Yinzuo decides, he will never change it, and he doesn't dare to persuade more, so he has to secretly find more than a dozen internal guards, and after a low confession, he ran back to his own position to prepare to command the battle......
