Chapter 163: Tool Man
Chen Rui went back to prepare for the dispatch of troops.
There were quite a few soldiers and horses transferred to him, plus reinforcements from all walks of life, including more than 5,000 cavalry alone, with infantry, etc., there were 16,700 soldiers and horses, and the grain, grass, and baggage given were also acceptable.
When Li Yan, the uncle of Xiangcheng, heard that Chen Rui was coming back, he hurriedly came to visit, and learned from Chen Rui that he was going to send troops, and Li Yan was also surprised.
"Sending troops? The Tartars have been running for a day, and they must be as panicked as a lost dog, how to chase them? Wang Weining doesn't want Lao Chen to build a champion Hou and level the grassland, right? ”
Li Yan, as the uncle of Xiangcheng, is not a descendant, he is the cousin of the previous Xiangcheng uncle Li Fu, and he has only inherited the title for one year.
Previously, Li Yan, as a noble newcomer, was very stammering with Chen Rui.
is also because Li Yan feels that Wang Weining has always been a civilian official and will not stay in the northwest for a long time, so it is more practical to make friends with these iron-clad nobles, who made Chen Rui very famous in the Northwest Army?
If you can't do it yourself, you can learn from a powerful senior.
So when Li Yan heard that Wang Yue was going to transfer Chen Rui to the grassland, he was first on Chen Rui's side...... Because of him himself, he didn't make an inch of merit in this kind of war, knowing that Wang Weining was awesome, but they still didn't look down on him.
When there is a tough battle, don't tell us clearly, let us run by ourselves, and then if we run, you will blow up the military in the rear and get military merits, and then come back to play us, right?
As a manager, and play your subordinates like this?
Chen Rui said with a dejected face: "If I can chase a few back, it's nothing, but such a big grassland, where can I chase it?" Besides, the military order for this pursuit is not under the orders of the Holy Lord, how far can I go if I march north? ”
What about leading troops into the steppe...... Wang Yue's military order was not for him Chen Rui to level the grassland.
Even if he Chen Rui had this ability, the emperor didn't give an order, he could only go in and chase and make a small fuss.
Chen Rui also figured out that this trip to the grassland was definitely to play him.
"That Wang Weining, in order to get the knighthood, he really did everything!" Li Yan was angry, and he also said cruel words in front of Chen Rui.
Chen Rui looked around and reminded: "Slander the commander of the army, be careful of being punished!" ”
Li Yan said hatefully: "I thought that I could make meritorious contributions by coming to the northwest with him, but he didn't explain to us before the war, for fear that we would rob us of his military merits, and now he is back to make things difficult for us. ”
"Alas!"
Chen Rui sighed.
is also stupid, Wang Yue may give up his head directly to the Tartars, and retreat without a fight?
"When he said he wanted to lure the enemy deeper, he should have thought about his motives." Chen Rui also has some self-hatred.
Li Yan said: "Who would have thought that he would have 3,000 soldiers in his hands, and the chief officer and deputy chief officer were not there, so he would dare to kill back to the pass?" If he had known that he had that mighty gunpowder in his hand, would it be like this? ”
Chen Rui was also very annoyed.
It's all to blame for the mighty gunpowder!
You must know that there is that big killing weapon, understand Wang Weining's intentions, and know that he dares to lead a small number of soldiers and horses to attack at Yatou Pass, and we will not lead the troops to run so fast, at least ...... Will wait halfway and then run depending on the situation.
Li Yan stepped forward and said: "Lao Chen, I heard one thing, he Wang Weining returned to Beijing this time, just by settling with a person next to His Majesty, and that person helped him achieve today's merits. ”
"Gongsheng Zhang Bingkuan, is it?" Chen Rui frowned.
"This ...... Do you know this? Li Yan was surprised.
Chen Ruixin said, do you think that I, the chief military officer, can be the same as the deputy general soldier who was temporarily transferred like you? Even if you've fought before, what rank are you? How many connections do you have in the court?
Chen Rui looked very annoyed and said: "I just didn't expect such a thing as mighty heavenly gunpowder, in fact, this head, I also heard Pang An, the commander of Yongningwei, say it before, but I didn't take it to heart at that time, it was Pang An who told me that this mighty heavenly gunpowder was given by the emperor, and it seems that it was made by Gongsheng surnamed Zhang." Can this be regarded as his own credit to Wang Weining? ”
Li Yan asked: "That Gongsheng, how can he have the ability to decide the battle situation in the northwest?" ”
Chen Rui said: "Why do you think Wang Weining was transferred to the side? Someone calculated it for him...... After Wang Weining arrived at the pass, he kept saying in front of us that it was not easy to guard here, and told us to make use of the terrain as much as possible, introduce the Tartars into the pass, and then close the siege...... At that time, it was lard that blinded the heart! ”
As he was talking, Chen Xun's voice came from the door: "Is Uncle Ping Jiang here?" The oath of sending troops is about to start, so please go over and take a trip. ”
"Got it!"
Chen Rui didn't want to go out to see Chen Xun, because he felt that now Chen Xun had rebelled, and he was obviously cheated by Wang Yue, and he counted the money to Wang Yue.
Li Yan was puzzled: "This is about to set sunset, why do you want to send troops now?" ”
Chen Rui had already lifted his sword and was about to go to the door, but when he heard this, he glared back at him and said, "It's too late to chase after you now, you let me send troops again tomorrow, right?" What's the point? If you want to go with me, I'll mention it to Wang Weining! ”
"Don't! I...... Let's keep it here. ”
Li Yan strongly supported Chen Rui, but let him go to Chen Rui as a subordinate and march to the grassland together, he was not so stupid.
Now it can be seen that you Chen Rui was used as a gun by Wang Yue, no matter whether you have a chance to make meritorious contributions on this trip to the north, I will fucking go with you, and I will offend Wang Weining first, then I am afraid that I will not be able to mix in the northwest in the future.
……
……
Chen Rui still sent troops.
But even Wang Yue himself knew that Chen Rui was tossing blindly.
That night, Zhu Feng was called by Wang Yue to write a note on the performance of the song together, which was regarded as a complete war report two days after the end of the war, and Wang Yue was accompanied by Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the supervising army.
Zhu Feng looked stupid and asked, "Elder Wang, if you let Ping Jiangbo send troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make any progress, right?" He also transferred so many soldiers away, in case Di Yi came back, the city was afraid that the defense would be insufficient. ”
That's right......
Even Zhang Yong was laughing.
Others can't understand it, but Zhang Yong sees it very thoroughly.
Wang Yue was playing Chen Rui openly, and he also played Chen Rui with no temper, the enemy ran away, Wang Yue did not dare to give up the pass to chase because there were not many soldiers and horses under his command, and he would send Chen Rui after the chief soldier Chen Rui came back......
No matter what you say, Wang Yue did it very well with the rules.
As for saying that Chen Rui was late to send troops......
Who told you Chen Rui to run so fast when he was running? The feeling is that my king asked you to run away, right? You sent out late, and you can only blame you for coming back late! At least my Wang has done it, and as soon as you come back, I will arrange for you to send troops!
Even Chen Rui knew that Wang Yue was using his status and rules to pressure him, so that he had no choice, no matter how big his opinion was, he still had to lead the troops out of the jam.
Wang Yue said: "Zhijie, there are some things that you can't see thoroughly, and you will understand when you look back." ”
"Yes."
Zhu Feng felt a grievance in his heart.
I have obviously made war exploits, and Wang Lao also praised me as heroic in the previous battle report, so that I thought I was the champion Hou alive, and now he said that I didn't understand...... Why don't I understand?
Zhang Yong said with a smile on the side: "I estimate Your Majesty's will to level Jiang Bo to go to the side, it will come in these two days, right?" ”
Wang Yue looked at the notes that had been written, and still lowered his head and said: "This is not among the old plans, it depends on the needs of the imperial court in the border stopper." However, I think that the inner three levels are more suitable for him. ”
Transferring a famous general of the border army to the three levels of guarding the inner and retreating from the first line to the second line, everyone can see that Wang Yue really doesn't look down on Chen Rui.
Don't look at the superiors and subordinates now, it is likely that they will all be earls in the future, and the competition between the same level will be.
Especially Wang Yue wants to establish a certain prestige for his eldest son Wang Chun, at least help Wang Chun suppress Chen Rui's reputation first, otherwise after his death, what qualifications does Wang Chun have to argue with Chen Rui?
"Father-in-law Zhang, the old man has prepared a generous gift in Beijing, and this military reward is also as you arranged, you see ......"
In addition to Wang Yue's desire to befriend Zhang Zhou, he also had to serve Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the prison army.
This is the flattery that he carries in his bones.
Zhang Yong said with a smile: "Let's take care of Mr. Zhang's side first, and our family has prepared ......."
"Oh, that's that, that's. But I'm afraid that it is not appropriate for us to send it like this. Wang Yue and Zhang Yongzheng exchanged experiences in giving gifts to Zhang Zhou, and talked about the dangers of border army generals giving gifts to the emperor's close ministers.
Then the two of them brushed together and set their eyes on Zhu Feng.
No matter how stupid Zhu Feng is, he can see that these two guys called me here, not to discuss anything, but to let me be a gift-giver!
"Zhijie, you and Mr. Zhang have made friends, right?" Wang Yue asked.
Zhu Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I've known each other for less than a year." ”
"It's only been a year, that's rare, you have good luck, but I heard that Mr. Zhang was also recommended by you to His Majesty's side, and your future is limitless." Wang Yue said.
Zhu Feng sounded very awkward.
What is the future of my feelings, it doesn't depend on my father who became the prince of the country, it all depends on that brother Zhang, right?
Wang Yue said: "Now that I am in Beijing, I have been counted as a family disciple, and I have sold my ancestral house, so I have made up some of it, and I will send it to Mr. Zhang after the war is over." I just don't know how to reward this military merit ......"
Zhang Yong smiled and said: "Wang Junmen, don't worry, our family will talk to Your Majesty for you, how can such a great merit treat you badly?" ”
"We have achieved military feats together, so why should we divide each other? Naturally, the old man should also try his best to make a contribution to Zhang Gonggong......"
Then Wang Yue and Zhang Yong seemed to be in collusion.
Zhu Feng immediately understood.
This is not a serious discussion at all, it is simply two politicians who took him a political novice here to collude with military exploits.
Zhang Yong didn't see anyone when he was fighting, and now Wang Yue specially pulled Zhang Yong into a group in order to take advantage of military merits, so that he could get more points when rewarding.
As for him, Zhu Feng is here......
In addition to the fact that Zhu Feng and Zhang Zhou are together, I thought it was ...... These two goods want to give gifts to Zhang Zhou, and they can't be given openly, but only with the help of his hands.
Zhu Feng sighed secretly.
I'm a tool man.
