Chapter 092: Each has its own plan
Tu Wenxiu's marching tent stood on a hill outside the city, although the hill was not very high, but it could also better monitor the movement in the city. Tonight, there are a number of lieutenant generals and colonels around the big tent, who are taking turns holding three monoculars to watch the movements in the city.
Bibai was originally a general of the Ming army, so it is natural that this telescope was introduced into the army by Gao Pragmatic. It's just that the equipment priority of the three sides of Shaanxi was not too high before, so the Ningxia army was limited. This time, Tuwenxiu went out to conquer Pingyu, and there were only five in the whole army, except for the scout team who took two of them, and the remaining three were concentrated here.
Tu Wenxiu's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be a little unhappy, and a close general beside him saw this and asked cautiously: "Is the general angry at Prince Bi's unfairness?" ”
Tu Wenxiu glanced at him: "When did Prince Bi behave unfairly?" ”
The general raised his eyebrows and said, "The general was originally the number one general under him, but now he can't sit in Ningxia City, but he was sent to Pingyu City to eat sand, isn't this an unfair treatment?" Not to mention you, general, even your comrades are angry when they mention this matter. ”
"Hmph, idiot." Tu Wenxiu sneered: "The generals under the command of Prince Bi, but whoever goes out on the expedition or out of the town, I have the strongest army, is this called injustice?" ”
The general seemed to be a close confidant of Tu Wenxiu, and he was not afraid of being scolded at all, but when he heard this, he stiffened his neck and said: "The general's words are not right, in terms of troops, the general's command is naturally strong, but what about the status?" Why can Liu Dongyang be the chief soldier of Ningxia? He used to be only one of the leaders of the four battalions, and he was not as good as the general, but now he can sit in Ningxia with Prince Bi and his son, and send the general far away to take prisoners, I see that he may have different intentions towards Prince Bi! ”
Tu Wenxiu was silent for a few breaths and sighed: "You tell me the truth, do many people in the army see it this way?" ”
"yes!" The general replied immediately.
"You're shallow." Tu Wenxiu shook his head and said, "I took the initiative to invite Ying." ”
The general was stunned and said in surprise: "Why is this? We fought Pingyu City once before, and it was not easy to fight. Xiao Ruxun is guarding like a turtle shell, and he doesn't know how many hands and feet it will take to take this Pingyu City, and how many brothers will have to die. We are afraid that we will not be able to push off this kind of errand, why does the general take the initiative to ask for help? ”
Tu Wenxiu snorted lightly: "If Ningxia is impregnable, no matter how strong this Pingyu City is, sooner or later, we will surround it until it surrenders, what do you need?" But what if Ningxia can't hold it? ”
He looked at the general with blazing eyes, and said gloomily: "Let's accompany the prince and his son to the death, and we will not be able to be the first master of the capital together?" ”
The general gasped when he heard this, looked around hurriedly, and saw that he and Tu Wenxiu were standing alone, and the surrounding generals were at least four or five feet away, so he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and asked, "General, are you not optimistic about Prince Bi's way out?" ”
Tu Wenxiu didn't answer directly, but was silent for a while before he said slowly: "I was optimistic about it before, but now...... Whether you are optimistic or not, you can't go wrong with the next road first. ”
The general hesitated: "This back road has something to do with the siege of Pingyu City?" ”
"Of course." Tu Wenxiu said lightly: "Ningxia is a wedge embedded in Mongolia, and the head of this wedge is Pingyu City, if the imperial army comes to quell the rebellion, only in the end can it hit Pingyu, do you know what it means?" ”
If the general can't react at this time, it will really be in vain, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "It means that if Ningxia is lost, if we think that we are invincible, we can also escape into the grassland immediately, and we will not even be unable to save our lives." ”
Tu Wenxiu nodded and said, "Now you understand?" ”
The general hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand, the general is really far-sighted, and the last general is beyond his reach." ”
"I'm not done yet." Tu Wenxiu chuckled lightly and said, "What I just said was the situation of the imperial court's dominance, and the situation of Prince Bi's dominance was not said." ”
The general was surprised: "Does Prince Bi still have a chance to take advantage?" ”
"Opportunities are always created by yourself, and if you don't stretch out your hand, any opportunity will be given in vain." Tu Wenxiu said: "If Prince Bi doesn't have a chance at all, what kind of trouble will I make with him, will I have a long life?" Of course, he still has a chance to dominate the side. ”
The general seemed to be more yearning for this future, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "I don't know where this opportunity is?" Please also ask the general for advice. ”
Tu Wenxiu said: "If Gao Guang doesn't lose his official position first, Prince Bi has a good chance, but Gao Guang loses his black gauze hat first, and I don't bother to talk about this." In short, now that it is Gao Shipra, this situation is not so easy - this is also the reason why I temporarily invited Ying to calm the captivity. ”
A trace of fear flashed on the general's face, and he whispered: "I heard that this high-level pragmatic Annan Dingbei has not lost a single defeat, and all the victories are big victories. Annan's matter will not be very clear at the end, but he Mo Nan and Liaonan fought really hard, let's ...... Oh, the sum of the heads obtained by the border marshal in the imperial court in recent decades is probably not as much as these two battles. ”
A haze also flashed on Tu Wenxiu's face, and he nodded heavily: "Otherwise, what am I going to do here?" However, although this high pragmatism is good, I think about it carefully, he is not without weaknesses. ”
The general was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Is it?" What weaknesses does he have? ”
"It's too hard to spend money." Tu Wenxiu said in a deep voice: "I remember that after the battle of Monan, there was a wave of wind in the imperial court, questioning that Gao Pragmatic spent too much money in that battle, and later it seemed that the emperor felt that the money was not spent at a loss, so he suppressed the matter." ”
The general was disappointed: "That's it? Even if it's useless. Everyone in the world knows that Gao Pragmatic is the emperor's favorite minister, as long as he can win, the emperor will not blame him, isn't it still Prince Bi and us who are so unlucky? ”
"Not really." Tu Wenxiu shook his head: "At this time and that time, during the Great War of Monan, although the imperial court was not extraordinarily rich, but under the management of the three generations of Gao Gong, Guo Pu, and Zhang Siwei, at least it was able to achieve a slight surplus, and occasionally spend a sum of money to win a big battle, and the imperial court could still afford it."
But this time it was different, the imperial court began to open the ban last year, and it is said that it would cost tens of millions of taels of silver to do it, so even our military salary in Ningxia was cut a lot, which gave Prince Bi the opportunity to get up. At this time, it was really a bit unexpected for the imperial court to change Gao Shishi, a person who spends a lot of money to fight this war...... I thought about it and thought that the imperial court probably wanted Gao Pragmatism to come up with a three-board axe and pacify Ningxia as quickly as possible, which was better than a long pain than a short pain. ”
The general suddenly said: "Oh, that means that the imperial court is actually gambling, and gambling on high pragmatism can be played fast enough?" ”
"Yes, I thought the imperial court was fighting this idea." Tu Wenxiu sneered: "So now I have to wait and see, and I can see if Prince Bi is worthy of assistance...... If he can carry the high-level and pragmatic three-plate axe, my Tuwenxiu can fight the world with him with peace of mind, even if he can't sweep Liuhe, but he may also have a Qin King to do, and I and you can also have a hope.
But if he can't bear it, then it's no wonder that I and my brothers are there. We are not the little lives that we picked up on the road, we drag our families one by one, how can we easily accompany him to pass on the first Beijing master? You say, don't you? ”
"That's nature, that's nature." The general hesitated: "But general, let's continue what we just said, if Prince Bi still has the upper hand, what is the use of us in Pingyu?" ”
Tu Wenxiu laughed and said, "I also talked about Pingyu's position just now, why don't you take it seriously?" After Ningxia rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, Pinglu was the rear and back road of Ningxia, which was like a war, if it wasn't an absolute cronie, could I hand over the back road to you? My Tuwenxiu is in charge of Pingyu, and no matter how well Ningxia fights, he can't ignore me. ”
The general was overjoyed: "So that's the case, the general really has a good opinion." ”
Tu Wenxiu smiled, and suddenly showed a touch of murderous intent, and snorted lightly: "If you really dare not take me in your eyes, when the Ningxia army is out, I will wave my army south into Ningxia in a fit of anger, and they will all become rootless drifters, I believe that Prince Bi will not understand this truth." ”
The general couldn't help but admire: "The general is really a last resort, this battle is really a wonderful move, and it is a stroke of genius that can be attacked, retreated, and defended." ”
Tu Wenxiu laughed triumphantly. Before he finished laughing, a general came to report: "General, there seems to be no change in Pingyu City, is it that they have cut off the source of information, and they don't know that Bo Shuoketu is gone?" ”
Tu Wenxiu stopped laughing, frowned and thought for a while, and his tone became a little hesitant: "There are also many Mongolians among the Xiao family, and the current strength of our army is not too sufficient, it is not difficult for them to run out to investigate as scouts, and it stands to reason that the news will not be cut off." If you can get the news, how can there be no reaction in the city? ”
The general who came to report said: "Could it be that Xiao Ruxun is timid after being injured a little last time, even if Bo Shuoketu is gone, Xiao Ruxun doesn't dare to chase his ass and follow him?" ”
Tu Wenxiu shook his head and said, "This is not enough, otherwise how could Biyun die?" In my opinion, Xiao Ruxun may be worried that Bo Shuoketu is deceitful about leaving, and that we are deliberately tricking him out of the city, so he is unmoved. ”
The general was distressed: "How can this be good? Otherwise, let's also retreat and let Xiao Ruxun know that there is no ambush around? ”
Tu Wenxiu frowned and scolded: "You have horse urine in your head? The front foot Bo Shuo Ketu is gone, and the back foot is also retreating for a distance, so as long as Xiao Ruxun is not a fool, you can see that we want him to get out of the city quickly, if you are Xiao Ruxun, will you still go out of the city at this time? ”
The general was scolded and his face was flushed, but Tu Wenxiu was not only his superior, but what he said was indeed reasonable, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
The previous Tuwenxiu's cronies and generals made a round and diverted the topic: "Speaking of which, Bo Shuoketu's departure, our troops are indeed not so sufficient. Didn't the book of war say that with the method of soldiers, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and multiple it will be divided. Compared with the troops in Pingyu City now, let's not say five times, not even twice as much, at this time, let's retreat a little later, or come to encircle three and lack one, it seems to make sense, general, what do you think? ”
Tu Wenxiu said: "The retreat is too obvious, but you can try it if you don't have one of the three sides." He was also a cheerful person, saying that if there was a lack of three and one of the siege, he would immediately order the mobilization of the army and let go of the north gate.
At this time, in Pingyu City, Xiao Ruxun did not fight Daxu, and quietly stood on a certain city tower to observe the enemy's situation, and saw that Tu Wenxiu's side suddenly withdrew the defense outside the gate of Beicheng, and couldn't help sneering: "Surround three and lack one, let me out of Beicheng?" ”
Yang, who has been regarded as a heroine, followed him with a hat wrapped in a light veil, and smiled slightly when he heard this: "Tu Wenxiu also wants her husband to leave the city, so that she can take the opportunity to take down Pingyu and leave a way back for Bibai." However, he is not very smart to let go of Beicheng, what is the husband going to do in the north? Is it still possible to sneak up on Ijin Holo? ”
Xiao Ruxun shook his head and said, "No matter what he means, let's just do our own thing." Madam, after your husband leaves, the burden of defending Pingyu City will fall on your shoulders. Although you are a heroine among women, after all, you are not like Mrs. Gao, you have a toast identity, and it is not easy to command it personally. I will keep the seal in the palace, and you will only issue orders in my name on weekdays, so as not to be hurt by the matter in the future. ”
Yang sighed lightly and said, "Xun Lang, it's not too late to worry about these things, the most important thing at the moment is two things: first, the timing of your appearance in front of the high cardinal platform should be just right; The second is that you also have to guard against Bo Shuoketu's counterattack, and suddenly turn around to find your bad luck halfway. There are at least more than 20,000 horsemen around Bo Shuoketu, on this vast field, if he really reflexively attacks you, even if he is a young hero, it is inevitable that he will be invincible with two fists and four hands, if there is a good ......"
Xiao Ruxun smiled: "Although generals should be cautious in using soldiers, prudence is not cowardice, if you are also afraid of that, then what soldiers do you bring, what kind of battle do you fight?" As for Boshoketu, I expected that since he was in such a hurry, the situation must be urgent, although it is not clear what exactly happened, but presumably he has no time to go back and compete with me again, and my departure seems dangerous, but in fact it is not a big deal.
But Madam, you must be careful here, although Tu Wenxiu is not a famous general, but he is also a rare wise general in the army. Especially after the husband leaves, the strength in his hands will be twice as large as the Pingyu, Mrs. must remember not to underestimate him, still have to be cautious and defensive, do not be greedy for merit, as long as you keep the Pingyu and do not lose, wait for the husband to show his face in front of the high cardinal platform, in the future, the Xiao family will be another Ma, and the lady will be more ...... in front of several sisters-in-law."
"Okay, okay, how did you get here?" Yang stretched out his hand and pressed Xiao Ruxun's lips, and said with a smile: "My sisters-in-law are just outsiders to me, and they haven't bullied and suppressed, these things don't have to worry about the husband, as long as the husband fights this battle and leaves him with a young and promising impression in front of the high cardinal platform, it is the best thing." Do you remember what the concubine said to her husband before? Gao Shutai likes to use young generals. ”
Xiao Ruxun laughed and said, "Okay, it's a lot of talk for the husband." Now that the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, Madame doesn't have to accompany me to freeze here, and go back to rest first, and I will lead the troops myself. ”
Yang was not hypocritical, and smiled when he heard this: "This is very good, the concubine wishes her husband success." ”
Xiao Ruxun nodded, glanced deeply at his wife, and turned to leave.
