Chapter 179: Farewell to the Long Pavilion
Those who have lost their souls are just farewell.
On the second day of the first lunar month, in the long pavilion outside the Desheng Gate, such a picture was staged.
At noon, the faint winter sun shone on the earth, but in the bitter cold wind, the light seemed so insignificant.
The hundreds of sergeants on the edge of the pavilion were divided into two teams, one was the personal guard of Huang Degong, the new governor of Xuanliao, and the other team.
It is the soldiers who came to bid farewell to the three good big brothers, and most of them have military positions above the small flag.
"General Huang, this is a long way to go to Liaodong Mountain, the situation over there is unstable, and the generals are also reckless, General Huang should be more aware of the law and be cautious in his words and deeds!"
Although Huang Degong can't read big characters, he has been in battle for a long time, and Liu Hong doesn't need to explain too many words.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your advice, I will be conscientious and conscientious, guard Liaodong for the imperial court, and do not teach the Manchu Qing to cross the Lei Chi!"
Huang Degong was dressed in armor, and the red tassel on the top of the iron helmet fluttered in the wind, and he bent down to bow his hand to the official's courtesy.
Although he is the governor of Zhengyipin, it is reasonable that he is on the same level as Liu Hong in terms of military position and title, but he understands in his heart that everything he has is due to the young man in front of him.
What's more, after many years of fighting, he finally understood a truth, the general is in charge of the army, and there must be someone who can speak in the court to take care of him, even if he doesn't help the generals speak, at least don't let some villains hold back.
The former general Yue Wu Muyue, whom he admired, died unjustly at the hands of a villain, which made him extremely vigilant.
Looking at the entire imperial court, if you want to find such a person, who else is there besides the young man in front of you?
"Master Hou, I went to Liaodong this time, and the supervisor appointed by the imperial court is a father-in-law named Kong Dayong, I don't know if Lord Hou knows this person?"
Huang Degong has always been respectful of the eunuchs, and when he was guarding Luzhou, he did not deal with the eunuchs at that time, so that the soldiers died in a hundred battles and could not get any compensation from the imperial court.
In the palace, in the four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve eunuchs, if the power is in addition to the eunuch who is in charge of the seal, it is this imperial horse eunuch, who is not only in charge of horse administration, but also has the responsibility of supervising the world's soldiers and horses.
If there is a battle report, one copy will be sent to the military department by the soldiers, and the other will be submitted directly to the Holy Lord by the supervising army through its own channels.
Moreover, most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty trusted their internal ministers more than their foreign officials.
It is not so much that Huang Degong is questioning this person, but that he is asking An Guohou about the disposition of the prison army.
"General Huang doesn't have to pay attention to the supervising army, you just need to remember that you only have one task when you go to Liaodong, and that is to hold the Xuanliao defense line.
Anyone who disobeys your orders or tries to hinder you from deploying your troops can be killed and set an example without any burden!
If the emperor is to blame, the court will have everything to bear! Liu Hong gradually frowned, supervising the army and supervising the army, staring at it honestly, if you really dare to point fingers at the war, that is to find death!
In the past, maybe the prison army could squat on the head of the general soldier and be majestic, but he Liu Hongjian just can't do it, and he doesn't accept it? I'll kill you!
"However, if Liaodong is lost, no matter what the reason, no matter what situation you are in, you are the only one who asks!" As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Hong gradually gave a military order to Huang Degong.
Huang Degong is recommended by him, if he has merit, everything will be fine, if Liaodong is lost, he will not be caught by the courtiers, with the urine of those civil officials in the court, I can't wait to find a good reason to trample him under his feet.
The reputation is small, if Liaodong really changes, it is not just talking, at that time, it will probably be a desperate battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!
"Obey orders, obey the instructions of the Hou Ye, people are in the city!" With Liu Hongji's package ticket, he can let go of his hands and feet to deploy the generals.
"If the people are gone, the city must be there! Liaodong defense line, there can be no loss! ”
There is only one task, to hold Liaodong, and the way is to do whatever it takes! Until the new army of the imperial court is trained!
"No!" Huang Degong gritted his teeth, and the word seemed to pop out of his teeth.
"General Huang, wait a minute, I'll talk to Lord Yan and them." Liu Hong gradually took a deep breath and beckoned to Yan Yingyuan and the others.
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Yan Yingyuan arched his hand.
"Why is Lao Yan so unfamiliar, everyone has been working together in the military camp for a year, and now you want to go to Liaodong, do you know how many boys in thousands of households cried when they got the news last night!"
Liu Hong has always regarded the three people in front of him as brothers who treat each other with all sincerity, and it is precisely because of the help of the three of them that he can get out of the barracks and do some things of his own.
He also knew that in the hearts of the three of them, there must also be a kind of affection that transcends official positions.
However, he couldn't figure out why these ancients were always so stubborn, burying all their feelings deep in their hearts, and spitting out words that were all ceremonial and humble.
"Your Excellency!" Chen Mingyu didn't know what to say.
"Call me Lao Liu!" Liu Hong gradually smiled slightly, although he had just turned twenty-one, he was also twenty-four or five in his previous life, and he was the same age as the three of them.
He remembered the few bad friends in the university dormitory, the shouts of Lao Liu and Lao Liu every day, and after he arrived here, he never heard them again.
"Old ...... Old Liu, "The three of them are divided.
"Hey, that's enough, I don't know when I'll see you again today, I have already said it last night, I just hope that the three brothers can make contributions in Liaodong, so as to repay the three of them for serving the country!"
Liu Hong gradually gave up.
"Adults should be cherished too!" Feng Dunhou was the oldest, a little deeper, and he didn't speak much.
"You boys, let's say goodbye to your old boss!" Liu Hong gradually turned around and said to the many teenagers in the Thousand Households behind him.
……
Half an hour later, under the eyes of many young people from thousands of households, Huang Degong, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Dunhou turned over and got on the horse.
"Master Hou, don't leave it at that!" Huang Degong gave up his hand on the horse.
"My lord, cherish!" Yan Yingyuan and the three of them waved goodbye to the brothers of the Thousand Households.
A few young men finally couldn't help but redden, and what the ancients were most afraid of was sending relatives and friends to join the army.
Because anything can happen in a land of war!
Liu Hong gradually fell silent, just smiled and waved his hand to say his final goodbye.
"Drive!" After saying goodbye, the four of them did not hesitate any longer, and dozens of war horses rushed towards the camp in Xishan.
There, the 20,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion had already been assembled, waiting for their general to lead them to Liaodong.
The sun is obscured by the clouds, and the sky and the earth are white!
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze helps the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight.
Today, a glass of wine, chattering. Ask you when you will go, and don't linger when you come.
The four of them had disappeared into the snow, leaving only the footprints left by the group of horsemen on the official road, Liu Hong gradually stood for a moment, stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, turned to the teenagers behind him and said:
"Let's go, let's all go back!"
The three brothers left, leaving a mess to wait for him to take care of, and Liu Hong gradually walked to the city in a somewhat irritable mood.
However, to everyone's surprise, this parting is forever!
PS: Here is a tribute to Master Li Shutong and singer Pu Shu, although they have known this song for a long time, but the story after that still makes Han Han cry, there should be a confidant in life, even if it is far away.
I hope that all of you will cherish those friends who have helped you without asking for anything in return.
