The fighting outside the Piantou Pass lasted for a day and a night.
Zhu Feng stood on the bright tower of the north wall of Pianguan. The rain had been falling, hitting his armor. He thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't understand why this battle took so long.
We agreed not to attack the camp, but we should come back after the attack.
But the thousands of cavalry sent out are still wandering around outside, and there is no mention of encountering the enemy head-on. The battle seems to have been fought all day and night, but nothing seems to have happened.
"Zhijie, why do you have to come in to talk in the rain outside?" Wang Qiong talked with Liu Jin for half an hour in Minglou. When he came back, he found Zhu Feng was drowned outside, and couldn't help but feel distant. Call out.
Zhu Feng then returned to the place where there was a tile covering his head.
The attendant next to him wanted to help him take off his armor, but he raised his hand and said, "The war is not over, and the armor will never leave you."
"Haha."
< p>Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh after hearing such idiotic words.Wang Qiong asked someone to pour Zhu Feng a cup of hot tea and comforted him by saying, "It's okay now, which means nothing will happen. It's probably because the barbarians retreated when they saw the difficulties, but some people still think they are enterprising." Perhaps because of the desire to make great achievements, Zhu Feng chased him for dozens of miles. It was estimated that all the people would be back by nightfall. There were many things on his mind and many possibilities anticipated, but he had to listen to Wang Qiong.
Because the workload of using his brain is too much for him, he still likes to empty his mind and go out in the rain to calm down.
Otherwise, when a war breaks out, your whole body will be filled with heat.
Liu Jin hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for Wang Qiong and asked, "Wang Zhongcheng, do you think it will be a good news?"
Wang Qiong glanced at Liu Jin.
For Wang Qiong and Zhu Feng, after experiencing the Ningyuan War, they have almost calmed down about this kind of tug of war with the Tatar army, and they did not say how big a victory they must achieve.
But Liu Jin is different. After all, this is Liu Jin's first decent battle, and Liu Jin really hopes to have a "clear victory."
Wang Qiong said, "Whether it is a victory or not depends on whether there is contact. If we just drive away the barbarians, the victory will not be reported."
"Uh" Liu Jin was very worried. Difficult.
The emotional whiteness made me excited for a day and a night. So many people were mobilized in the Northwest War, but there was still no contact. It was still going on for a day and a night. No wonder the Anbian Marquis ran out to get wet in the rain.
"The heat in my heart is really hard to calm down. Why don't we let our family go out and get wet in the rain?" Liu Jin said, as if she really wanted to get up and walk to the door.
Wang Qiong stopped him with a smile, asked him to sit down again, pointed to the sky outside and said, "Neither we nor the Hulu can fight head-on today. Let's wait for the result first." ”
As Wang Qiong expected.
Before dark, everyone came back..
The results are hard to describe.
Li Ao was the first to bring his troops back, but he was the one who sent the troops the farthest away. After Li Ao came back, he complained, "Before dawn, I took the Erlangs out to the fortress for hundreds of miles, but they didn't even get there." The turtle bastard has not been seen, and the camp is not there. Who said that the Tatars’ sentinels here should die, causing the city to be uneasy these days?"
Liu Jin asked hurriedly, "There are no Tatars. "
This is something Liu Jin cannot accept.
The intelligence clearly said that the north was full of Tatars. It seemed as if the Tatars were about to attack the border with a large army at any moment. As a result, after the troops left the fortress, not even a Tatar sentry was encountered
So the previous intelligence was a joke
Zhu Feng asked, "Is it possible that the Tatars were indeed active around Pianguan before, but then left?"
"Where did they go? Liu Jin asked quickly.
"This" Zhu Feng couldn't answer.
When Chen Xun, who sent troops on the other side, came back, it had been dark for an hour, and the rain outside had not stopped, but Chen Xun brought back the results of the battle.
"You live up to your expectations." Chen Xun jumped off his horse and walked to the General Military Mansion. A group of people held up umbrellas to greet him.
Li Ao was surprised and said, "Old Chen, you walked on both wings and met the main force of the Tatars."
"The main force was not seen, but three Tatars were killed. Three real heads." Chen Xun looked excited, as if he had killed three thousand people.
Liu Jin was originally excited, waiting for Chen Xun to report a big victory, but when he heard that there were only three heads, the smile on his face almost froze.
"Not bad, not bad, pretty good." Li Tao was envious. "I'm taking the right path and haven't met a single Tatar. It would be nice if I saw a few herdsmen."
Everyone stared at Li Na.
What do you mean by this?
You still want to kill Liang and take credit for your success?
Chen Xun hurriedly explained, "I am killing serious Tatars." "
Liu Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of unorthodox method could he encounter with the "irregular" Tatars?
People from all walks of life came back. Peace returned to the city.
As if this night attack had never happened before, the officers and generals in the room looked a little serious, because everyone felt that this battle seemed a little different.
Li Na said, "Marquis Anbian, I dare to ask you, is this really calculated by Master Zhang Xian?"
"Well" Zhu Feng didn't know how to answer.
Wang Qiong said this, not me. Why are you asking me?
Wang Qiong asked, "Why, in your opinion, driving away the enemy invaders?" Isn’t it just that the credit is in vain?”
“Alas,” Li Wei sighed heavily, “credit is credit, but why is it different from before?”
Those present The officers and generals also looked at each other.
They also have the same doubts in their hearts.
Looking at the previous two battles, it seems thatTouguan and Ningyuan, in the first game, they won a great victory with 3,000 people. In the second game, even if it was a little bit close, nearly a thousand Tatars were captured and killed. How come we went out and came back with only three people killed? They may not necessarily be genuine Tatars, they may be killing good people and taking credit for their actions
Wang Qiong asked, "How much has our side lost?"
All the officers and generals present looked at Chen Xun.
They have never considered this issue before. Logically speaking, you brought one or two thousand cavalry out and only killed three people, so there should be no loss
But wait for them Seeing Chen Xun's troubled eyes, he knew that things were not that simple.
Chen Xundao "broke one off his horse and fell on a stone. Just then a Tatar came and chopped him off, but his head was also brought back."
Liu Jin Frowning, he said, "Uncle Wu Ping, you're a storyteller and a dramatist. How can a dead person die in such a bizarre and tortuous way? You caught him pretty well."
"Ah"
Chen Xun didn't Thinking of Liu Jin speaking so harshly and without a single curse word, it made him lose face.
This is because they don’t understand the character of these East Palace eunuchs. They usually think about how to please the young prince and how to scheming. They can’t say ugly words to teach the prince bad, so they are studying how not to Liu Jin and others are experts in the industry when it comes to verbally cursing people.
"Maybe" Li Wei has been working with Chen Xun for half a year after all. Now I have to say a few words for Chen Xun, "The dead guy only has so many ideas."
Liu Jin I couldn't help it anymore, and started scolding me on the spot, "I think we heard it. People win a great victory, and a victory involves thousands or hundreds of people. If we win, we only win three, and one of us will die. Do you have the nerve to report it to the police?"
Li Nuo looked embarrassed and said, "Speaking of which, it is really different. Maybe the purpose of Master Zhang Xian was not to kill more Tatars, but to let the old minister of Qin come over." Before, regain stability."
A group of people looked at Wang Qiong and Zhu Feng again.
The look in his eyes seemed to be questioning.
Is that the war planned by Zhang Zhou? Why is it also planned by Zhang Zhou? We don’t have the treatment like Wang Weining and Zhu Zhijie. We were given three thousand cavalry to leave the city and then came back lonely
p>Wang Qiong is also a little bit worried about his face.
After all, he is the official governor now. The civil servants are headed by him. At this time, he is also needed to calm people's hearts. He raised his voice and said, "What's wrong with the three heads? Does it affect the victory? Or do you say you don't?" I plan to report it, so I am willing to endure it like this, but you must make it clear that if you don’t succeed this time, you may not know when the Hulu will come again next time.”
“This”
A group of The generals looked at each other again.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to only kill three Tatars, it is better than none. Mosquito legs are not meat
Wang Qiong said, "I am used to you, thinking that everyone in the northwest The battle can be fought with earth-shattering momentum. The most important thing in the defense of the northwest is stability, whether it is His Majesty or the DPRK.What I hope to see, my military commander, is that the border is stable and the people also hope to live and work in peace and contentment. If you, as a general, are here just to achieve great military exploits, then go back and guard the capital as soon as possible."
Li Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Wang Zhongcheng, don't be angry. In fact, we all have the intention to achieve great achievements. Who can He is not a hot-blooded son of the Ming Dynasty."
Chen Xundao said, "Actually, Wang Zhongcheng is right. If we stay in Pianguan from now on, does that mean that our chances of making achievements in the future will be gone? With a famous general like An Bianhou here, the Tatars have been defeated, and now their internal fighting has not subsided. From now on, we will just stay here and face the earth with our backs to the sky."
Liu Jin stared at this, With a sarcastic smile on his face, he said, "Oh, I hear what you are saying. You are very good at fighting. Is it possible that when we send troops to the grassland in the future, you can also rush to the front?"
"Of course. "Even if Chen Xun knew that this was bragging, he still had to respond.
No matter how incompetent Liu Jin is, he is still a guard eunuch sent by the emperor to represent the emperor.
< p>Zhu Feng said with a sad look on his face, "Just don't let the Tatars come again. We'll stay here and wait for the court to change the garrison." ”Suddenly Zhu Feng became the target of public criticism again.
The generals below also heard that the famous general in our eyes was a powerful man who only wanted to be an idler.
Others are waiting to make contributions, but you are thinking of changing garrison, which means you want to return to the capital and live a stable life
Wang Qiong said, "Since you are determined to serve the country on the battlefield, His Majesty will definitely be satisfied with you. , now the Tatar Central Military Tent is within the Hetao. When Qin Zhitai reaches Pianguan, a war to suppress the trap will begin, and you will have the opportunity to realize your ambitions. "
"Suppress the Tao"
Chen Xun just shouted slogans loudly, but when he heard that troops were going to be sent to the Hetao, his face clearly said, whoever wants to go will go, I won't go.
Liu Jin said, "Uncle Wu Ping, there are opportunities, but I feel that there are too few opportunities, so I will eliminate the trap first, and then I will seal the wolf as a slave. There is no ambiguity at all." ”
“Haha. ”
Chen Xun smiled bitterly, and suddenly looked at Zhu Feng with sympathetic eyes.
It seems that he now feels that the Anbian Marquis still “knows the current affairs”. It would be good to change the garrison and return to the capital to live a stable life.
Wang Qiong didn't want to listen to the nonsense of these veterans in the army. , you have to go if you don’t want to.
“Everyone, now that the war is over, it’s time to win. Are there any cattle or sheep captured?” Wang Qiong asked.
“No. "Chen Xun said.
"There are always horses, right?" Wang Qiong continued to ask.
"Two, and one ran away"
Chen Xun was also very embarrassed. .
It is said that three Tatars were killed. If the three Tatars didn't even have horses, wouldn't they just tell others that they were killing good people and taking credit?
At least they have them now. The Tatar horses serve as circumstantial evidence. Look, we killedare really "serious" Tatars.
"Let's play." Wang Qiong said, "I will wait until Pianguan, which can be regarded as a victory. I will reward the three armies. After Qin Zhi arrives, we will discuss the method of sending troops."
"Haha. ”
Several big guys present were smiling bitterly.
I was thinking, why does this sound so awkward?
The military meeting ended.
Liu Jin signed the memorial to Jie and returned to the guest room at the back with a sad look on his face.
Zhu Feng followed in and saw Liu Jin looking a little strange and said, "Since it is a victory, why does Mr. Liu mean to look like this?"
Liu Jin said helplessly, "Xiao General Zhu, do you have something?" Those who have achieved great success do not understand the pain in the hearts of these little people in our family, so they say that the prince has high hopes for our family to come to the northwest. If there is any war situation in our family, we should go to the capital as soon as possible to tell him. How can we tell the prince about this victory today?"
"Oh."
Only then did Zhu Feng understand why Liu Jin was so distressed.
In addition to the fact that Liu Jin himself is pursuing meritorious service, it is also because there is a "spurring" person behind Liu Jin, who is the prince of the dynasty.
"Then Eunuch Liu must tell the truth truthfully." Zhu Feng reminded.
"Ah, General Xiao Zhu, what are you talking about? Even if you write a letter to the prince, you don't have to be too responsible, but our family still can't do the deception. What should be done is what it is said. We can only send troops. Only by eliminating traps can you have a chance to achieve great achievements, right?"
Liu Jin looked eager.
He originally thought that he would stay in the Piantou Pass, waiting for the soldiers to perform meritorious service, and he could just follow suit and take advantage of the victory.
Isn’t this the method that Zhang Yong used to perform meritorious service at Piantou Pass and Ningyuan?
Why do I have to follow the army on an expedition, even go into the grassland, and risk such a big risk? What about the risks?
Zhu Feng said, "I don't know how your Majesty will arrange it. I just follow orders. Brother Zhang told me before leaving that he asked me to listen to Mr. Qin and Mr. Wang, and I will do it." "
"You are really obedient," Liu Jin unconsciously wanted to ridicule Zhu Feng.
The more I hate this kid for not fighting, the more I want to scold him.
You said that you are already a famous general in the dynasty, and others regard you as Wang Weining's second best. You have a big backer like Zhang Zhou behind you, but you actually told me that you plan to follow orders and be beaten by others. Leading the way
To say you have no ambition is putting it mildly.
"I'm going to sleep." Zhu Feng said.
"Heartless" Liu Jin muttered.
Zhu Feng asked, "What did Eunuch Liu say?"
"Oh, it's okay. I mean you need to rest early in preparation for fighting again in the future. It's best if there's no wind or waves." "Yes." Liu Jin explained with a smile.
He doesn’t have to be so polite to others. If he ridicules you, he will ridicule you. How dare you brag about your beard and stare at me?
But to Zhu Feng
Regardless of Zhu Feng’s background,He, let's just say that he, Mr. Liu, is still waiting to establish a career with Zhu Feng. If he offends this big boss, he will not be able to do his job.
Zuojie and the three others were sent to the capital by fast horse.
Before sunset the next afternoon, the battle report reached the capital. The battle report clearly fell into the hands of Zhu Youtang, who was having dinner with his wife and children in Kunning Palace.
"Did you succeed? Okay."
Zhu Youtang smiled and looked at Dai Yi who came to deliver the message.
Zhu Houzhao on the side stared, "Did Liu Jin just say that Liu Jin inherited the ambition of his son, he must have won, haha."
Zhu Youtang frowned.
This son is indeed still uneducated, and he still inherits Liu Jin as your son and my grandson. Are you dead?
When Zhu Youtang opened the lead-sealed memorial to victory, he saw it content, the smile on his face remains unchanged.
For the military generals at Piantou Pass, the achievement of killing three people was really not worth mentioning, because they knew that it would not have any impact on their titles.
But for the emperor, what mattered most was that once Zhu Feng and Wang Qiong reached the Piantou Pass, they dared to send troops to fight and "scare away" the Tatars. This was in line with his initiative As for the strategic intention of the attack, killing three people was simply the icing on the cake. It was just like Zhu Hui and his five-pronged army suppressed Ordos in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi and suppressed a lonely person. Anyway, the result is achieved.
Otherwise, we really hope that there will be a protracted war in the northwest, and the grassland will be settled in one battle
"How, how"
Zhu Houzhao looked eager next to him.
Zhu Xiurong sat there with a rice bowl in her hand, looking at her father and brother with curious eyes. At such a young age, she still didn’t understand what this meant.
"Continue to eat" Queen Zhang could not persuade her husband, but could only persuade her son.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "It's good. We will send troops hundreds of miles away from Pianguan. The Tatars will retreat in response to the situation. The Ming Dynasty will be stable at Pianguan and don't have to worry about the impact of the death of Marquis Weining. Then I can let go and prepare to send troops." "What happened in the Loop?"
Zhu Houzhao blinked and asked, "How many Tatars were killed?"
"Three." Zhu Youtang said these words to his son. .
"Three" Zhu Houzhao almost flipped the table when he heard it.
What's going on?
It was said in such a thrilling way, as if the northwest was about to be pacified, but in the end, three people were killed
"Father, my sons and ministers didn't count. If I'm wrong, there will be at least 30,000 or 300,000 Tatars. If I only kill three of them, I can rest assured and send troops without fear of their coming back." Zhu Houzhao was very dissatisfied with this result.
Zhu Youtang said, "When it comes to using the army, you should just play with the beads on the abacus and eat quickly. In the future, you should study hard on the book. Don't pay attention to the things in the northwest battlefield. It's Bingkuan who led you astray. You can't do it again." If he doesn't care about his studies, I won't let him teach you the art of war again. You can make up your own mind." Please remember to bookmark it.
