Chapter 767: General Please
The night is very deep, Huang Degong, who has been in the excitement, has not been sleepy at all, and is still immersed in the joy of the battle just now and can't extricate himself, how can he be so good, in addition to venting his grievances for many years, he also took the first credit!
Huang Degong is a person who likes wine, and after the victory, he is a wine worm scratching his heart, but Chang Yu has ordered the army to ban alcohol and violate heavy penalties, even a general like him is among them, the little eunuch governs the army strictly, and the minions of Dongchang are everywhere, and no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, so that there is no wine to celebrate the achievement, and the only exception in the whole army is Hao Shaoqi's wine jar, which is also something that makes Huang Degong extremely envious and unhappy.
When he sent someone to report the results of the battle before, he also asked Chang Yu to bring a message to see if he could get some wine to reward the soldiers, but Chang Yu disappointed him, not a single drop!
There have been countless examples of drinking and mistaking things, not to mention that at this time when the battle situation is highly urgent and sensitive, Chang Yu can't let go of this mouth, as for Hao Shaoqi's special case, it was his promise when he surrendered: the wine is enough, and the mistake will be killed!
Even if you don't drink wine, Chang Yu ordered you to march south at dawn.
This is to withdraw troops from the Northern Front!
Huang Degong was a little confused, what did the little eunuch mean by this, he didn't think he was beautiful enough in this battle, and he still felt that he couldn't carry the beam alone......
"The little governor should have made some strategic adjustments" Weng Zhiqi said at the right time, Huang Degong's battle was fought cleanly and neatly according to local conditions, almost impeccable, Chang Yu would not be able to pick a bone in his eggs, and the reason why he was allowed to withdraw from the northern line must be an adjustment for the overall situation.
The anxious Huang Degong couldn't wait for tomorrow's dawn, and after telling Weng Zhiqi and other generals some matters, he led more than 100 personal soldiers to the southern line overnight to find Chang Yu to inquire, of course, the inner monologue was: Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil anymore, and the wine you want to drink today has to wait until tomorrow?
Could it be that a big victory is not worth a pot of wine?
Of course, when Huang Degong arrived at the Eucommia forest in the early hours of the morning, Chang Yu got up from his sleep to greet him, and then put someone on a jar of wine, and asked Hao Shaoqi, a wine jar, to accompany him.
It is very likely that the commander of the first army will drink and make a mistake outside, but when he comes to his side, Chang Yu can rest assured that he will open the net, after all, people have just won the battle, and if you really don't drink a sip of this thing's temper, he can make trouble and kill you!
After pouring a sigh of relief, Huang Degong laughed out loud: "Today was the most enjoyable day, the battle was happy, and the wine was also drunk."
Chang Yu was not as enthusiastic as him, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asking about the previous battle, Huang Degong elaborated from beginning to end with a smug face, and everyone nodded again and again.
Wei Changyu's expression was flat, and he said that it was a great victory to the outside world, that was to boost the morale of the army, and to say that it was unpleasant to deceive himself, in fact, the Ming army did not get any big bargains in this battle, and it completely relied on the advantages of crowd tactics and the blessing of the night to achieve such a small result, but in fact it did not achieve many great results, of course, the strategic significance is very large.
"Congratulations to General Huang for winning the first merit, in the future, our family will ask for credit for you in front of the saint" Chang Yu smiled slightly, this battle was very fierce, although it did not hit the Qing soldiers hard, but the strategic significance was extraordinary, so that the rookies saw blood, and the army's heart was excited and the fear of Qing was slightly reduced......
Huang Degong was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, raised a glass to Chang Yu, and Chang Yu did not drink Hao Shaoqi's cup.
"Lord Factory Governor, how to fight next, tomorrow Chen Bing will be under the city of Tongzhou?" When he was drunk, Huang Degong's face was flushed, and he was still excited, wanting to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Next...... Let's watch the play".
"Watching a play?" Huang Degong looked confused.
Li Muxian walked over from the side and said with a smile: "We have been singing for a few days, and we have passed all the literary and martial arts dramas, and we have also enjoyed it, so we want to vacate the stage for other corners to take the stage."
Huang Degong had an epiphany, and couldn't help laughing again: "Niu Nose, if you don't mention this, Lao Tzu has forgotten those two horns"
The summer day dawned early, more than half of the time (about four o'clock in the morning) the sky was already slightly bright, and the tens of thousands of Ming troops on the northern line drove straight to the eucommia forest dozens of miles away to meet with the friendly army, and at this time Chang Yu had re-entered the dreamland, at this time the weather was hot and dry for the coolest time of the day and the most suitable time for sleeping.
The Ming army on the northern front moved suddenly, and the camp went south to attract the attention of Dolgon in Tongzhou City, and he hurriedly got up and discussed with a group of subordinates after staying up all night and just slept, and finally did not see the intentions of the army, but ordered to pay close attention to the movements of the Ming army, and ordered all departments not to move, and at the same time sent a herald to recall the soldiers and horses outside the city who were plundering and returning to prepare to go south.
There is a Lingshan Temple on the halfway slope of the Yan Mountain Range twenty miles north of the three rivers, the morning bell is leisurely down the temple gate, a burly man with a tired face, his eyes are full of red silk, looking at the mountain is slightly anxious, an elderly monk walked out of the temple behind him: "General Zhou has not slept all night, but wait for the news?" ”
This burly man is the general soldier of Sanguan Zhou Yuji, because of the meritorious service in guarding Taiyuan, he was appointed as the chief military officer of Shanxi a month ago, and then went east to cooperate with Shi Kefa to encircle and suppress the thief army, a few days ago by the commander of the Dongchang Chang Yu military order to run thousands of miles to the north, first in the south of the Sanhe ambush army, the day before yesterday the capital fast horse sent a military order, ordered it to go north to hide the tracks, and wait for the time to move.
Zhou Yu Jinai is a veteran of the battlefield and Chang Yu have worked side by side for a long time, and they have a mutual heart, and he knows that the siege of the capital has been lifted, and the Tartars have come.
Although the soldiers and horses have been dormant for a few days, although they are idle and comfortable, in fact, their hearts are not easy about all kinds of gains and losses, when will the Tartars come, how many people will come, what have they done, and can the little eunuch come to help in time......
Finally, the time is finally coming, the little eunuch asked him to move the soldiers and horses north, on the bright side to expand the battle situation, but in fact, to get out of the way to the south, not to expose it too quickly, and then close the siege after putting the Tartar into the set.
After receiving the military order, Zhou Yuji immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to move north, and went north through Sanhe City to the Tibetan soldiers in the mountain pass, and then to the north is the reckless Yanshan Mountain Range, and to the east is Jizhou, which is also a reckless mountain, and at the same time, Jizhen is an important town, and the Tartar plundering will not be too close to this side, so the probability of the Tibetan soldiers being exposed here is extremely small.
At the same time, he sent out his horse to pay close attention to the movements of the Qing army, and the capital was more than 100 miles away from Sanhe, and he had enough time to arrange.
In only half a day, the information of the Tanma was sent one after another: the number of Tatar Tanma in Tongzhou increased......
The Tartars have entered the territory of Tongzhou......
Tartar broke the city of Tongzhou......
The Tartars divided their forces and plundered in all directions......
Spot friendly troops out of the city and follow closely......
Another day, when Zhou Yujibe was transferred, an important piece of information arrived: the Tartar attack followed the Ming army, and the two sides fought in the camel camp......
This information made Zhou Yuji extremely nervous, first of all, he couldn't understand why the little eunuch was so anxious to chase out of the city as soon as the Tartar had just left the camp, isn't this a sheep sending a tiger's mouth, yes, it must be the king's fate!
But with the mind of the little eunuch, even if he was forced out of the city to chase the enemy, he would not follow so closely and so closely, and even if the Tartar took the initiative to attack, he should choose to avoid it, and at this time he dared to challenge others head-on......
And when the time is ripe, he will encircle the Tartars in one fell swoop, how can he do it alone at this time......
If he wasn't quite sure, he wouldn't have done it!
Zhou Yuji still understands Chang Yu after all, leading a group of rookies in the city, he needs a bloody battle and a big victory to improve morale, strengthen the soul of the army, and let those rookies see blood, otherwise, with their accumulated fear of the enemy, let alone kill the enemy, I am afraid that they will not dare to raise their swords.
It's just that this battle is a little certain, if you win, your morale will be greatly boosted, and if you lose the battle, you will get twice the result with half the effort...... I'm afraid that the army's heart is even colder, not to mention, the original plan is going to be messed up, and the chess between him and Li Yan will become a waste chess!
Zhou Yuji, who was concerned about the war situation, couldn't sleep all night, and waited anxiously for news, but this place was still nearly a hundred miles away from Tongzhou, and the two sides only started fighting at dusk.
The mountain breeze was very cool, the bell rang for a long time to sweep away the irritability, Zhou Yuji sighed, shook his head slightly, and the old monk said: "If the general eats first, wait, there will be good news."
Zhou Yuji smiled and nodded, and was about to turn around and return to the temple, when he suddenly seemed to sense something, he took a few steps forward and looked down the mountain. ”
Zhou Yuji slammed his fist with both hands, and it was difficult to hide his joy, so he turned to the old monk and said, "Abbot, please take me to Shangzhu Xiang."
The old monk nodded slightly: "General, please."
