Volume 1 Chapter 673 The long-pending Battle of Changsha
Back at home, Xu He somehow, although his mind was still in chaos, his heart was much more relaxed.
In the final analysis, the responsibility for this matter lies with oneself.
In addition to explaining the matter to Zhang Huihui, he also had to hurry to Xu Song's mansion to inform him of the matter.
If the palace learns of his showdown, it is estimated that things will become uncontrollable next.
Xu He waited on pins and needles on Xu Song's mansion until evening, and the uncle returned to the house on duty!
"Uncle!"
Seeing Xu Song, Xu He lowered his head and didn't know where to start.
Xu Song looked at Xu He, sighed after taking a sip of tea, "Have you seen the princess?" ”
"You got it?"
"Xie Kun told me yesterday!"
"......" Xu He was silent for a moment and said, "Uncle, I have not considered this matter......
Xu Song "hehe" chuckled: "Everyone is from your age, and the same is true for uncle, people, if you have to learn a truth from this matter, then there is still a harvest!" ”
"What's the truth?"
"It's not anything, you have to consider the benefits and losses!"
Yes, I think about interests, gains and losses in everything, and I made this mistake.
In this matter, the attitude of the emperor, the attitude of the uncle, and the future of the Xu family were considered.
He always felt that as long as he planned carefully and made up for it later, things would always turn around.
But in the whole thing, he didn't consider Sister Gu's feelings, the princess's feelings, and his own feelings.
Although the word freewheeling sometimes has a derogatory connotation, to be honest, not everyone can live to this state.
"Uncle, what now?"
Xu Song smiled: "You have already decided, then insist!" ”
"But the emperor!"
"You see, you're still being disturbed by the feelings of the outside world." Xu Song put down the teacup, "Being able to stick to one's heart is originally a quality!" ”
"And if the old man says something that he has lost his identity, even if this matter spreads, Shilin's evaluation of you may be unexpectedly good!"
"No, it can't be passed on, if it gets out, what should I do about the princess?"
Xu Song nodded: "Liangsheng, do you know why I like you very much?" ”
Xu He looked at the uncle.
"Because you're a person, although you have a smart brain, you have a human touch!" Xu Song smiled, "After decades of ups and downs, I have seen a lot of smart people, but I smell less and less!" ”
Speaking of this, he got up and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's go, let's go to dinner together, the things in the palace, I think so, to keep changing things, it's thunder, it's rain and dew, that's a later story, now, your mother is about to enter Beijing, you think about it first, how to tell people about these days. ”
……
Two days after coming out of the British Mansion, Xu He has been spending time in anxiety.
Today, he took his subordinates to ride to Tongzhou Caoyun Wharf early, and calculated the time, the official ship escorting his mother and Sister Gu should have arrived.
When I first arrived in Tongzhou, the wharf was bustling with people.
The sound of selling, shouting, and the sound of the foreman whipping Cao Ding made Xu He's heart even more disturbed.
Xiao Er was just about to follow the boat south, so he came along.
"Childe, the battle of Changsha has been unresolved for a long time, and it is still besieging the city, I feel that there is a problem!" Anyway, waiting for the boat was boring, so the two sat on the second floor of the restaurant where they could see the dock, eating melons and fruits and snacks while talking.
The imperial army gathered, and Xu He's original guess was that the other party was going to enter Jiangxi from Liuyang Shui.
But these thieves seem to have made up their minds to stay in Changsha and not leave.
Under the urging of Sheng Butang, the army of the imperial court gathered towards Changsha Mansion.
There are three layers inside and three layers outside, and they are played from morning to night every day.
However, because Changsha is a vast city, the city is fully equipped with firearms, and grain and straw can support 100,000 people to eat and drink for a year.
Seeing that the siege has been almost two months, the other party has no intention of breaking through.
Xu He also reminded Xu Song that according to this situation, the Changsha thieves are likely to be an outcast, and their role is to suck the court officials and soldiers towards Changsha.
When the time is ripe, a wave of anti-thieves will appear out of nowhere, the officers and troops will be transferred to Changsha, and the troops in other nearby provinces will be empty, and these anti-thieves will be able to drive straight in, as if they are in a no-man's land!
Xu Song was also anxious about this matter, so he strictly ordered the local officials to keep an eye on all places, but if there was any trouble, it must be extinguished in time.
Moreover, the garrison of Changsha Prefecture is also quietly withdrawing from each station.
The camp is all there, but only a small number of people can be left to stay.
In the entire Changsha Mansion, the soldiers besieging the city at this moment are only focused on the local officials and troops in Huguang, plus Zhang Jingxian, Xue Yongzhi and other troops drawn from the Battle of Hefei.
The rest of the men and horses originally drawn from Guangxi, Huguang, and Jiangxi have quietly returned to garrison at this time.
Xu He said to Xiao Er: "After you go back, you have to remind Zhou Bi and Qin Lie, just say what I said, the task of the coastal defense battalion is to follow Zhang Bingxian and Sheng Butang to besiege Changsha City, and don't worry about the rest!" ”
"No matter where the thieves come from, we have only one mission!"
"Sheng Butang has been dealing with the captives in the border area for a long time, and he is already old enough to use soldiers! At this time, he is also responding to all changes with the same! ”
"Make your words clear to your brethren!"
"We must have an overall view of the people, but we still have to focus on managing our own one-third of an acre."
Xiao Er nodded, wanting to speak.
Xu He stopped him and said, "After I go back, tell them to fight hard and fight in a daze!" Always remember these six words! ”
Xiao Er said with a serious face: "Childe is right, thirteen they always complain, saying that every time the village is formed, there is no need for a deep ditch and a long trench, and after two days, an order from above will come down, and we will change the station!" ”
Xu He frowned, if what Xiao Er said was true, then the thirteenth and others still hadn't become a qualified leading general.
Tired, of course tired from the front line siege.
But being tired is not an excuse to do a good job defensively.
Neither is cumbersome.
Why did Zeng Guofan fart to death twice in the diving, and there was a slow child?
It's because of his six words.
Take precautions and don't take chances.
Attack, and don't engage in all the bells and whistles.
How can there be so many clever battles for you in the world, yes, that is also in the romance.
"I'll write a letter, you take it back! Don't be sloppy in this matter, you leave it to Zhou Bi, don't tell them yourself! Let Zhou Bi and Qin Lie do their work! ”
"Don't worry, Childe, you know!" Xiao Er knew that this was Xu He thinking about himself, so he smiled.
At this moment, in the canal outside the window, a large ship slowly sailed into view.
Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly ordered the two soldiers: "Go and see, is it the official ship of Master Cao!" ”
At this time, Xu He suddenly became nervous.
When I met Sister Gu, how should I explain this matter?
How did I explain to my mother that she made her old man travel thousands of miles and finally ......
Distressed!
