Chapter 212: The Victory of the Western Expedition (5,000 Words)
The reason why Chang Feng is so sure that the Tatar youth is a fine work is because this joint code word belongs to the important secret stake next to another little prince, the "rock" Hada.
Hada lurked in the Tatar tribe for thirty-one years. I'm 60 years old this year.
The young man in front of him who spoke in code was at most in his early twenties. Patently fake.
However, Chang Feng did not expose him immediately, but made a false accusation to see what his intentions were.
Chang Feng picked up the code words: "There are not as many toads as the eight kings in the Yongding River." It's always the toad that catches the bait. ”
The young man continued to say the code words: "Qianli Jiangling will be returned in one day. ”
Chang Feng said: "A good girl will play with me tonight." ”
Tang Shi and Feng Ma Niu slipped out of their mouths, and the secret words were finished.
The young man said: "I am Nanzhen Fusi Baihu, 'Rock' Hada."
Chang Feng sneered: "Heh, Hada is afraid that you can be your grandfather!" ”
The young man said, "Adults always have to let people finish speaking." I am the grandson of Hada, Battle. ”
Chang Feng stared at Battle: "There is no basis for what he says. ”
Battle took out a stone tablet from his waist, handed it to a border soldier, and handed it to Chang Feng.
Chang Feng checked his waist card: "According to what Sun said by the seniors, this stone card is indeed a token of the rock." ”
"However, is it possible that the rock is sitting on a high position on the side of the Tatars. I can't look down on the identity of the hundred households in Nanzhen Fusi. ”
"He simply betrayed Nanzhen Fusi and took refuge in the little prince."
"And you came to Lingwu City to pretend to be the grandson of the rock and pass on fake military information to us."
When Battle heard this, he was furious: "My grandfather's loyalty and courage really fed the dogs! ”
"At the risk of being chopped up and fed to the eagle, he lurked beside the little prince for more than thirty years. In exchange for the suspicion of the Jinyi Guard? ”
"You bastards live in peace in the Ming Dynasty, majestic, fragrant and spicy. My grandfather couldn't sleep well for 30 years. Wake up from nightmares from a lot."
"Well, I'll give you the information. Believe it or not, it's up to you to do it yourself! ”
Chang Feng asked, "What kind of information are you talking about?" ”
Battle replied: "The garrison of the Tatar army in Helan Mountain, the strategy of using troops!" ”
Xu Fatzi stepped forward and searched Battle's body.
Then he shook his head at Chang Feng: "He doesn't have a piece of paper on him. ”
Chang Feng asked, "Where did you hide your information?" ”
In Chang Feng's view, the garrison situation of the Tatar army in Helan Mountain and the strategy of using troops are so complicated that at least a dozen pieces of paper are required.
Unexpectedly, Battle pointed to his head: "I have it all in my head." I said, "You remember." ”
Chang Feng nodded slightly.
Battle gushed endlessly: "Huling at the northern foot of Helan Mountain, there are 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Chahar; Luoyinggang at the northern foot of Helan Mountain, 1,500 soldiers and horses stationed in Tumut."
Battle memorized two full quarters of effort. The garrison situation of the 50,000 Tatar troops in Helan Mountain and the strategy of using troops were all described.
After speaking, Battle said, "Believe it or not!" I finished the errand that my grandfather had given me. ”
"Whether you want to kill me or let me go, listen to me."
Xu Fatzi said on the side: "Let you go?" There are no doors! We just caught one of you a while ago. ”
Wang Yue interjected: "You can't assert that he is meticulous and the information is false, right?" ”
Chang Feng said: "Bring that fake Bal Mengyan up." ”
A short time later, the false Balmenjan was brought to the Great Tent.
Chang Feng asked the false Bal Mengyang: "Do you know this person?" ”
The fake Bal Mengyan glanced at Battle: "This man is Battle, the grandson of the little prince's tent. I've seen it several times. ”
Chang Feng thought in his heart: the fake Bal Mengyan confessed the detailed list of Tatar purchases in the northwest. There is no going back to Tatar. He is now bent on submitting to the Ming Dynasty, and he should not lie.
It seems that Battle is indeed the grandson of Rock Hada.
But whether Hada betrayed the Ming Dynasty. It is not known whether the grandson will be allowed to send false information.
Chang Feng pointed to the fake Bal Mengyan and said to Zhang Cai, "Take him down." ”
Zhang Cai was about to escort the fake Bal Mengyang away, but Chang Feng made a gesture towards Zhang Cai.
In Jinyiwei, that gesture means "to kill".
Zhang Cai understood and nodded. He took the false Bal Mengjan and left.
The false Balmenjan has no value. If you are a spy of an enemy country, you will be killed.
Chang Feng said: "Fat Xu, give Battle a punishment." See if what he says is true or false. ”
There were no lie detectors in the Ming Dynasty. The best lie detector is the torture of Jinyiwei.
Chang Feng has done so many bad things for so many years, and many errands have been successfully completed by torture on people.
Torture is not a sophisticated interrogation method, but it is effective.
Wang Yue stopped Chang Feng: "Wait a while." I said it's always windy. What if the 'rock' you said didn't betray the Ming Dynasty? ”
"They sent their own grandsons to send us information about the victory or defeat. But you put a great punishment on his grandson? Does it not chill the heart of the loyal and righteous man? ”
Chang Feng said: "If you don't get punished, you can't verify the authenticity of his information." ”
Wang Yue said: "In addition to the punishment, there is another way to verify the authenticity of the information. ”
Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What's the idea? ”
Wang Yue said: "He just mentioned a total of 26 camps of the Tatars in Helan Mountain. ”
"I originally planned to send scouts to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the area of Helan Mountain. Just scout these places, as he said. ”
"If there are Tatars stationed in those places, his information is true."
"Ahem, cough, cough"
After saying this, Wang Yue coughed violently again. His face was pale, and he had no strength in his body.
Wang Yue has prayed to God countless times these days. We must let him win this battle and then return to the West. It is also considered that there is a good beginning and a good ending in the whole life.
Chang Feng thought about what Wang Yue said, and it was true.
Send scouts to Helan Mountain to reconnoitre, and the truth is clear at a glance.
Chang Feng arched his hand: "Okay." I listen to the commander. ”
Wang Yue summoned Zhu Jin, the deputy chief of Yansui, and instructed him to send dozens of scouts to reconnoiter the place according to what Battle said.
Zhu Jin took the order and left.
Wang Yue said: "Chang Feng, you should go back to the salt pond and watch the grain and grass for me." You also take this Battle to the salt pool. ”
"After verifying the authenticity of the information, I will tell you the results."
Chang Feng nodded and was about to leave. Xu Fatzi stopped in the tent.
Xu Fatzi said: "Master Chang, go back to the salt pond by yourself." I want to stay in the main force of Lingwu's Western Expedition and go into battle to kill the enemy as a general. ”
Chang Feng shook his head: "No!" How many times have I told you. You are the prince of Dingguo."
Wang Yue echoed: "Yes." If you weren't the prince of Dingguo, I would definitely give you the opportunity to go into battle and kill the enemy. ”
"But you're noble. Out of the spread pool. You have to have three long and two short. I can't explain it to the court. ”
Xu Fatzi said: "The old man is handsome, Chang Ye." This time, I'm a fat king who eats scales, and I'm iron-hearted! ”
"Do you know what Jingzhong Xungui said about the two veins of the Xu family?"
"They say that the lineage of Nanjing Wei Guogong is the real son of the prince of Zhongshan, loyal and good for generations."
"Jingshi Dingguo Gong is in the same vein, but when Xu Zengshou changed the sky, he turned his back on the lord to seek glory in exchange for the glory of his descendants. Since ancient times, loyal ministers don't do two masters, and good dogs don't do two servants! ”
Chang Feng said: "Who dares to say that? I'll arrest them for the crime of great treason! Give them the hat of the old dynasty with Jianwen in their hearts! ”
Fat Xu sighed: "Alas, there are more people who say this." Can you catch it? ”
"This time, I was able to participate in the Western Expedition easily, and I had the opportunity to wash away the stigma of the Dingguo Gong lineage. proves that Dingguo Gong is also a good man who stands up to the sky. ”
"How could I pass up this opportunity so easily?"
"Master Chang, after so many years, I haven't asked you for anything. I'll beg you this time! ”
After speaking, Xu Fatzi knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Chang Feng, and then turned around and kowtowed to Wang Yue.
Chang Feng was helpless, so he had to look at Wang Yue: "Wang Lao is handsome, do you see?" ”
Wang Yue replied: "Just according to what Xu Shizi said." Let him stay in Lingwu City and make contributions to the battlefield with the army.
Chang Feng led Battle back to Salt Pond City. The only thing he had to do next was to help Wang Yue take care of the military rations.
Half a month later, Wang Yue sent someone to bring the news. Dozens of scouts entered Helan Mountain to investigate, and the location of the Tatar garrison was the same as that Batel said.
After the reconnaissance of the Tongxing Division, it was proved that Panshi Hada was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The information from his grandson Battle is true.
Chang Feng specially set a table of wine for Battle in the Yanchi County Yazhong and apologized to Battle.
In the dining room of the county government, Chang Feng said to Battle: "This time I am suspicious, please forgive me." ”
Battle snorted coldly: "Heh, you actually doubt my grandfather's loyalty to Daming. It's ridiculous. ”
Chang Feng was embarrassed. It can only change the subject: "The rock has been lurking in Tatar for thirty-one years." It's time for the Ming Dynasty. ”
"When this battle is over, you go back to the Tatars. Tell your grandfather and let him find a chance to return south. Jin Yiwei will restore his identity and ask the emperor to reward him heavily. ”
But Battle said, "My grandfather said that. It would be more useful for him to stay with the little prince than to return to Daming. ”
"He will stay on the grassland for the rest of his life. But his heart is always in Daming. ”
Chang Feng was inexplicable: "The Huaxia clan can continue for thousands of years, all because of people like your grandfather who are loyal and brave regardless of gains and losses." ”
A confused look appeared on Battle's face: "But what flows in our bodies is the blood of Genghis Khan." Are we also Huaxia? ”
Chang Feng replied: "Anyone whose heart is to China, who throws his head and spills his blood for the prosperity and survival of China, is regarded as a member of the Chinese clan." ”
"Huaxia has never referred to the Han family."
If Chang Feng is a traverser, sing a song to Battle at this moment: "Fifty-six nationalities, fifty-six flowers." Fifty-six siblings are a family. Battle got it all.
Let's say that Wang Yue already knows himself and the Tatars. This battle that went straight to Helan Mountain can be started.
In the eleventh year of Hongzhi, August 25.
Lingwu City is a high point in the platform.
Wang Yue was already sick and weak. But he still insisted on wearing armor and walked to the point general's platform.
Wang Yue used all his strength, and issued a military order like a bell: "Order Zhu Jin, the deputy chief soldier of Yansui, to lead the Yansui soldiers out of the south road." ”
"Ordered Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the prison army, and Li Jun, the governor of the same army, to lead the Ningxia soldiers out of the middle road."
"Ordered Zhang An, the capital secretary, and Hao Shan, the eunuch who guarded the town, to lead the Shaanxi soldiers out of the north road."
"According to the established strategy, the whole army will attack the northern captives and go straight to Helan Mountain!"
Wang Yue sat in Lingwu City this time and did not go out with the army. He was afraid that the war horse would be bumpy, and he would die of illness in the army, which would lead to a loss of morale.
Xu Fatzi followed Zhang An and Hao Shan's Shaanxi North Route Army to the expedition.
Wang Yue issued a military order. Then he ordered someone to move the four god tablets.
The first god card is written in a big book "Xu Da, the King of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty".
The second god card has a big book: "The king of Kaiping in the Ming Dynasty often meets spring." ”
On the third god tablet, there is a big book: "Da Ming Liang Guogong Blue Jade." ”
The fourth god card has a big book on it: "Da Ming Yingguo Gong Fu Youde." ”
These four people are the famous generals of the early Ming Dynasty that Wang Yue admires the most.
But Lan Yu is a rebellious minister appointed by the great grandfather. Fu Youde was also given death by his grandfather in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu.
Both are criminals.
Wang Yue carved the god card for the two criminals, and put them on the platform in a big way. This is a big taboo.
Wang Yue didn't care. I'm going to die, and after this battle, I'm afraid I'll have to lie in a willow coffin. What about taboos?
Wang Yue knelt down towards the four god tablets.
A group of border soldiers pushed the golden mountain and fell to their knees.
Wang Yue piously shouted: "May the Ming God of War, King Zhongshan, King Kaiping, Duke Liangguo, and Duke Ying have spirits in the sky, bless me with the Ming Dynasty Wuyun Fangchang!" ”
"Bless the 80,000 soldiers of my northwest border army to go straight to Helan Mountain. Driven out of the country! ”
The worship is over. The army is out!
In the following month's war, the Ming army, under the command of Wang Yue, dealt a severe blow to the Tatar forces like a devastating force.
Zhang An and Hao Shansuo led the Northern Route Army to defeat the Tatar army at Huaguoyuan and Pucaogou.
In the battle of Pucaogou, Xu Guangzuo, the prince of Dingguo, moved forward bravely and was wounded six times and did not leave the battlefield. The deputy head of the Tumut tribe was beheaded. Make a great achievement.
After the defeat of the Tatar army, the Southern Route Army continued to pursue and formed a siege in Dadudu. The Tatar army, divided into three divisions, tried to assault. The Ming army dismounted and blocked it with guns and guns. And another big victory.
The results of the Central Route and Southern Route Armies were inferior to those of the Northern Route Army. However, it also made a lot of gains and completed the established strategic goal of driving the enemy to the west of Helan Mountain.
When the little Tatar prince saw that the Ming army was attacking his vital point, he understood: the deployment of troops and the strategy of using troops were all leaked.
And the Ming army is fierce, and the soldiers are full of food. In desperation, he had to order all the Tatar men and horses to withdraw from Helan Mountain.
The battle of the western expedition in the eleventh year of Hongzhi took two months. In the end, it ended with the Ming Dynasty winning a complete victory and recovering Helan Mountain.
Inside Shioike Castle.
Chang Feng stood in the granary. It is expected that the four-month battle will be over in two months. Only sixty percent of the rations were shipped out.
At this time, one of Zhang Yong's personal soldiers came to Chang Feng.
Chang Feng knew him: "If you don't follow Grandpa Zhang, why did you run to Yanchi?" ”
The soldiers knelt on the ground: "Commander Chang, our army has won a complete victory!" The remnants of the Tatars withdrew from Helan Mountain. Gonggong Zhang and the brothers of the Middle Route Army have returned to Lingwu City. ”
Chang Feng was relieved, and his tense nerves finally relaxed: "Victory!" Good! ”
After a while, he asked, "Is there any news of the Northern Route Army?" What happened to the prince of Dingguo? ”
The soldier replied: "The Northern Route Army is far away from Lingwu. Not yet returned. However, the wounded soldiers were sent back to Lingwu first. ”
"Xu Shizi has four knife wounds and two arrow wounds"
When Chang Feng heard this, his face changed suddenly: "What? ”
The pro-soldier said: "Governor Chang can rest assured that Xu Shizi's injury is not serious, and his life is safe." ”
Chang Feng asked: "He doesn't have missing arms or legs, right?" ”
The soldier replied: "Five of them are minor injuries." There was only one arrow wound. Pierced on his buttocks. Now Xu Shizi can only lie on his stomach to recuperate. ”
Chang Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. The average person has a lot of meat in the ass. What's more, Xu Guangzuo is a big fat man of more than 200 pounds.
His big ass is very thick. In the past, when Huzi was alive, he always stared at Xu Fatzi's big ass and couldn't wait to bite twice.
Chang Feng said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good." ”
The pro-soldier said: "The old man is the commander. Not so good. He was very sick, and the doctor said that he might not be able to survive for three or five days. Father-in-law Zhang sent a small one to deliver a message to you. Let you return to Lingwu quickly and see the last face of the old marshal. ”
When Chang Feng heard this, he hurriedly rode on a fast horse and rushed to Lingwu City.
Two days later, Lingwu City was in the tent.
Chang Feng entered the handsome tent and saw a group of border generals standing around Wang Yue's recliner.
Wang Yue was lying on the recliner, his face bloodless and his breath was dying. Barely able to speak.
Seeing that the wind was coming, Wang Yue seemed to be returning to the light.
He barely squeezed out a smile: "Hang your breath and don't swallow, just wait for you to come." I have to thank you for helping me become the trilateral commander. Let me fulfill my wish to go straight to Helan Mountain before I die. ”
"You've fulfilled me."
Chang Feng was inexplicably sad when he saw the first general of the Chenghua Dynasty who was almost thin into a skeleton.
He said: "The old marshal Wang is at ease to recuperate. I have asked the medical officer, it is only a minor illness, and after ten days and a half of recuperation, I will naturally recover. ”
Wang Yue sighed: "Alas, is it useful to sing a happy song on the grave?" ”
At this moment, Zhang Yong walked into the handsome tent: "The emperor has a holy decree. ”
Chang Feng asked: "Is it the reward after this victory?" ”
Zhang Yong shook his head slightly: "The Hongling messenger who reported to the emperor has not yet arrived in Beijing." This holy decree is for the emperor to inquire about the situation in the Western Regions. ”
Wang Yue Qixi said weakly: "Read." ”
Zhang Yongdao: "In August, Turpan Sutan (Sultan) Mahamu wrote a letter to apologize for his sins and release the exiled Hami Zhongshun King Shaanba. ”
"However, my Ming Dynasty has few troops in the Western Regions. The old department of the king of Zhongshun Shaanba does not exist. ”
"There have been repeated suggestions from ministers in the DPRK and China, what do you think of giving up Hami Wangqing?"
Wang Yue held back his last breath and said the two last words that were recorded in the history books.
"Hami cannot be abandoned, and the Western Regions cannot be abandoned."
After saying this, Wang Yue closed his eyes.
Chang Feng probed Wang Yue's snort with his hand, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Prince, let's go!" ”
A group of soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, weeping bitterly.
This group of steel-clad men has never shed a single tear on the battlefield.
But at this moment, it seems that their tears can merge into a great river! They used the river of tears to bid farewell to their favorite commander.
Wang Yue, in the annals of history, is famous through the ages!
Chang Feng picked up Wang Yue's body and walked to the willow coffin.
Several of Wang Yue's henchmen before his death put the remains of the first general of the Chenghua Dynasty into the willow coffin.
Carry the coffin and go out on the expedition, and finally return to the coffin.
Chang Feng knelt down towards the willow coffin and kowtowed three times: "Prince, go all the way!" ”
A group of generals knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting in unison with all their might: "Old handsome, go all the way!" ”
