Chapter 65: Reinforcements

Things were as Qu Shiyun expected, as soon as Pang Tianshou spoke, Qu Shiyun was dizzy and almost fainted to the ground.

"The Chishui South Camp has been attacked, it has been breached, and the battle has extended to the camp." Pang Tianshou said.

"How's it going?" Qu Shiyun hurriedly asked.

"I don't know." Pang Tianshou said: "This news was also from last night, and I don't understand what the situation is now." ”

Qu Shiyun took two deep breaths, and said secretly in his heart: "Hu Yiqing and Jiao Lian are both good generals, and they should be able to deal with it, but I can't stay in Guilin for longer." ”

"Sir, sir, what shall we do now?" Qu Shiyun suddenly heard Yongli's voice, and when he turned an eye, it was Yongli's pale face.

Qu Shiyun suddenly understood that today's events, he was scared of Yongli.

Yongli's courage is similar to that of a mouse, and he also has a strong understanding of the importance of the front-line army, and the troops that really control the small court in Guilin are also under the command of Liu Chengyin, and the Guangxi army controlled by Qu Shiyun, as for the army in southern Sichuan, it is beyond the reach of the border chief. Second, Fan Yixuan may not be able to control it.

At this moment, Qu Shiyun's department has suffered such a big loss, how can Yongli not be frightened.

Qu Shiyun took a deep breath, and his expression immediately returned to normal. He said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as there are old ministers for a day, the summer thief cannot be presumptuous." It's just that now that the military situation is urgent, let's ask the Duke of Yue to come to the discussion quickly. ”

"Good, good, good." Yongli said three times in a row, his eyes fell on Pang Tianshou, and he stomped his feet and said, "You slave, don't go quickly." ”

"Yes." Pang Tianshou agreed, and hurriedly went to invite Liu Chengyin.

But in about a quarter of an hour, Liu Chengyin arrived.

After Liu Chengyin came in, he first saluted, his eyes fell on Qu Shiyun, and he condensed slightly.

He had already prepared in Guilin, and he didn't know how many means. This time Qu Shiyun came, and he didn't think about letting Qu Shiyun leave. He wanted to cooperate with the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the first step was to turn the Yongli Imperial Court into his Yiyantang. So he prepared a net for Qu Shiyun in Guilin, black, white, bright and dark, if it really doesn't work, he will come hard.

But the change in the south made him hold all the preparations.

After all, in this kind of crisis, if Qu Shiyun died in Guilin, the Yongli small court would not want to worry about the war in the south. Quasi-collapse.

"Let's let this old thing live a few more days." Liu Chengyin said secretly in his heart.

Yongli saw Liu Chengyin and immediately said: "Guogong, the Ming Dynasty depends on Guogong, and in today's situation, Guogong has a good strategy?" ”

Liu Chengyin said: "The war in the south has never been familiar with the minister, and how to solve this matter still depends on the decision of Lord Qu." ”

Yongli's gaze turned to Qu Shiyun again. Qu Shiyun said: "The minister will go south today, and I want to reach the front-line camp in a day or two, but the front-line is already in an emergency." The minister has no fists and no courage, and returning to the camp alone will not help the overall situation. He also asked His Majesty to send a support army to the south with his ministers to help in the war. ”

Yongli turned his head and asked Liu Chengyin, "Can Guogong send a support army?" ”

Liu Chengyin said: "It's not that the minister is unwilling, but that he can't do it." Today's minister also received news that there was an abnormal movement in Zhang Xianbi in Yongzhou City, and the troops and horses were frequently transferred, and there was even a move to increase troops from Changsha. ”

"What?" Yongli was taken aback and said, "Isn't this the Xia army attacking from two directions?" ”

Qu Shiyun said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Xia army will never send troops from Yongzhou. Since last year, Zhang Xuan has fought again and again, and this year he has supported two battles in Guiyang and Chongqing, and the treasury has long been empty. Wuzhou marched all the way, and it was already the limit. Yongzhou must be bluffing. Please also rest assured that you can transfer troops, and you don't need many soldiers, more than 10,000 people. ”

Qu Shiyun was very reluctant to bow to Liu Chengyin. But things have come to this point, and there is no other way.

Liu Chengyin said: "What Lord Qu said is easy to say, my country's public is responsible for the safety of Guilin, and Your Majesty's safety, just relying on your speculation, you will evacuate the front-line soldiers and horses, once the Hunan Xia army comes to attack and threaten Guilin, what should I do?" ”

"Where is Guilin's safety? Where is Your Majesty's safety? ”

Yongli listened to Liu Chengyin's words, and the balance in his heart immediately fell to Liu Chengyin's side.

In Yongli's view, nothing is as important as his life. Never willing to put yourself in danger. He whispered to Qu Shiyun: "What Yue Guogong said is extremely true, Mr. Qu, why don't you recruit soldiers and horses from various provinces in Guangxi to support the front line?" ”

Qu Shiyun was almost laughed at for a moment.

Soldiers and horses all over Guangxi? Are there still soldiers and horses all over Guangxi?

It can be said that from the Longwu period to the present, the soldiers and horses in Guangxi have been harvested several times. In the Battle of Changsha, there were Guangxi soldiers and horses involved. In the Battle of Sanshui, Guangxi soldiers and horses also participated, and every time Guangxi soldiers and horses went out of the province, there were hardly many people who came back. And this time, most of the soldiers stationed on the front line were also recruited from Guangxi.

Not to mention, Guangxi is not a rich place, and preparing equipment for the army exhausts the local geographical advantages. Speaking of this manpower alone, it takes a person eighteen years to grow into an adult, and within a year or two, three or four men and horses have been recruited in a row. has been actively involved in the ground from the beginning, and wants to mix a fame and wealth in the army. Until now, everyone has heard that the conscription has changed, and they have tried their best to report the soldiers and horses of the Tusi. Even beggars have to be stuffed into it.

Where are the soldiers and horses?

Qu Shiyun crossed Yongli and said: "Guogong, now that the situation is like this, we should be in the same boat." There were many offends in the previous things, and I asked the prince to be benevolent and righteous. Come to the rescue. ”

Liu Chengyin sighed and said: "Lord Qu, I, Liu, am a prince of the country who is resting with the country, how can I not think about the Ming Dynasty." If there is a way, I will not sit idly by. It's that I really can't pull people out right now. ”

Liu Chengyin's sentence is half-true and half-false.

Half-truth: Zhang Xianbi did put pressure on the front line. At this point, Liu Chengyin is not lying. But not so much that he couldn't even pull out thousands of men. But in the current situation, Liu Chengyin instinctively grabbed the men and horses under his command.

As a warlord, no matter what time it is, the forces in your hands are where you rely on. The more of a crisis, the more so.

Not to mention, judging by Liu Chengyin's military literacy. The war in the south was not simply over.

Looking at the various battles of Zhang Xuan's southern expedition, it can be said that it is neat and tidy, but the stalemate here has been for such a long time, and at this moment, he will definitely not attack, and he will attack like a tide. Even if Qu Shiyun returns to the front line, I am afraid that he will lose the best opportunity.

The chances of losing this battle are too great.

It is said that Liu Chengyin and Qu Shiyun are sitting in the same boat, and at this moment, Qu Shiyun's department has been destroyed, and Guilin City may not be able to be preserved.

Normal people should think like this, but Liu Chengyin doesn't think like this. What he thought was that if he rescued Qu Shiyun, it was likely that some of the soldiers would be folded together with Qu Shiyun. It has always been easy to add to the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

With the relationship between Liu Chengyin and Qu Shiyun, it is impossible for him to let Liu Chengyin send charcoal to Qu Shiyun in the snow.

He'd rather play his own little calculations. I won't pull the Qu style to take a handful.

"Your Majesty, Guogong, Pavilion Elder. Frontline news. Pang Tianshou was like a crow, silently burrowing out of the corner.

Qu Shiyun asked most nervously, "How is the situation?" ”

Pang Tianshou said: "It has been determined that Nanying has fallen, and General Jiao is only spared. The Xia army was preparing to storm the northern camp. ”

Qu Shiyun asked, "When is this news?" ”

Pang Tianshou said: "At sunrise. ”

Qu Shiyun raised his head and looked out the window, I don't know when, a round of red sun has fallen in the west. In the midst of their arguments, most of the day has passed.

"I can't wait any longer." Qu Shiyun already realized this, and even Yongli was a little shaken, and it was almost impossible to bring some reinforcements from Guilin to the south. And to what extent has the situation at the front developed.

Qu Shiyun was so anxious that he couldn't wait for a moment.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the military situation on the front line is in crisis, and you can't leave it alone. The minister asked for orders and returned to the front line of the army to supervise the division. ”

Yongli said: "Then please sir." I hope that Mr. will be successful again. ”
