Chapter 297 Someone from Xiangyang
Wuchang is bordered by the Yangtze River in the north, in addition to the north gate, in addition to the other three city gates, the Ming army built a camp and surrounded Wuchang to the death.
Three camps, each battalion garrisoned 20,000 troops, respectively led by Hao Shaoqi, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Jincai, each battalion of soldiers and horses is equivalent to Wuchang's strength, can definitely prevent Tong Yanghe's raid.
In addition to the three camps, near the lake, the Ming army built three more camps.
These three battalions were built in the form of finished products, each of which was thousands of acres in size, and there were many military tents inside, each of which was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Wang Yan's soldiers and horses, the Qihuang Righteous Army, the Minfu, and the 25,000 captured Qing soldiers were all stationed here.
When the army first arrived in the city, especially the joint operation of the three forces, it was urgent to run in to make the command smooth, and the affairs were extremely complicated, and Wang Yan had too many things to deal with, especially after a big victory, the distribution of merit and spoils of war was a headache for him.
Although the Ming army defeated Luckedhun, many problems were also shown in this battle, especially the confusion of command.
Although He Tengjiao recognized Wang Yan's command, he was worried that Wang Yan would annex his men, so every military order of Wang Yan that he wanted to convey to He Tengjiao's subordinates had to be known to He Tengjiao in advance. This made the command poor and weakened Wang Yan's authority in the army.
Originally, the imperial court was supposed to choose one person to be the main person and take charge of the overall situation, but for various reasons, in the end, there was no clear order, but only let He Tengjiao, Wang Yan, and Du Yinxi jointly preside over the overall situation, but it caused an open and secret battle between He Tengjiao, the governor of Chu, and Wang Yan, the governor of Guangdong.
Wang Yan had already decided that after he pulled out Wuchang this time, he would ask the Son of Heaven for the title of Governor of the Five Provinces, otherwise he would never be able to act smoothly.
"Wang Shiheng~" Wang Yan was busy in the tent, but his tent curtain was suddenly lifted, He Tengjiao walked into the tent with an angry face, and then sat down on the seat next to him angrily.
The two guards followed closely into the account, their faces were full of self-blame, Wang Yan saw this and waved them to retreat, He Tengjiao was on par with his status, he wanted to break through, and the two guards couldn't stop it.
"What made the Governor so angry, since he wanted to break into the Governor's handsome account?" Wang Yan was naturally unhappy about He Tengjiao's actions, he put down the brush in his hand and said angrily.
"What's the matter?" He Tengjiao looked even angrier than Wang Yan, "Then you have to ask yourself!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Yan naturally understood in his heart that what He Tengjiao was angry about was the matter of war exploits and the distribution of spoils, but he would not take the initiative to say it.
"The matter of leading troops lies in the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, this is what you said." He Tengjiao stood up and said angrily: "This time I got 16,000 war horses, you can take 10,000, why do you give 2,000 to those mud legs?" What credit do they have? ”
He has always been the only one who has the credit for distinguishing people, when can someone dare to take advantage of him, when he didn't send a single soldier, he dared to go to Yuezhou to rob Wang Yan's exploits, and now he finally won a battle, how can he let others get involved!
Wang Yan was very angry when he saw He Tengjiao's appearance, but seeing him fighting against the Qing soldiers this time, he did his best, and for the sake of the current overall situation, he still had to try his best to stabilize He Tengjiao, "Qi Huang Yijun, at the invitation of this governor, came to help in the battle, they surrounded Wuchang, so that Luck Dehun could not return to the city, it is a great achievement, and it should be rewarded." ”
He Tengjiao didn't buy it at all, "Even if you invited it, why don't you take your share to reward it, why do you want to move my horses?" ”
The things have been divided, it is impossible for Wang Yan to take it back, and Qi Huang Yijun should indeed be rewarded and co-opted, but He Tengjiao saw Li Wangyi's character, and Wang Yan also saw it very clearly, once he couldn't satisfy him today, maybe he would play some tricks.
Wang Yan couldn't help but squint and ponder for a while, thinking that it was important to attack Wuchang at the moment, but he couldn't spoil the overall situation, so he raised his head slightly and said: "This governor has long wanted to let the governor have two horses and train into a cavalry that can fight with the Qing soldiers, so the 10,000 war horses that the governor has divided, Inspector He still don't think about it." The 2,000 horses of the Qi Huang Yijun are not going to come back, but the governor can give you all the 20,000 prisoners of the green camp, so that you can supplement the losses of Liu Chengyin's troops, how about it? If Inspector He still thinks that this governor is not fair enough, you can go to this book and join me! ”
After listening to Wang Yan's words, He Tengjiao's face couldn't help but sink, he understood the meaning of Wang Yan's words, this was to remind him that in this battle, Liu Chengyin, who belonged to him, suffered a defeat and suffered the heaviest losses, which made every move of the Ming army fall into passivity after that, and almost fell into Luckdehun's plan.
Seeing Wang Yan's attitude, He Tengjiao knew that the war horse would definitely not come back, and the 20,000 green camp prisoners were Wang Yan's bottom line, if he didn't agree, Wang Yan would not give him anything.
At this time, He Tengjiao weighed in his heart, thinking that he still had to rely on Wang Yan to defeat Wuchang and share greater credit, and he couldn't make the relationship too stiff, so he said: "Okay~20,000 captives will be mine~"
Seeing this, Wang Yan nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then after defeating Wuchang, they will be assigned to the command of Inspector He!" ”
"What?" He Tengjiao heard this, but said angrily again: "You want them to be cannon fodder, how much is left after capturing the city?" ”
The siege battle was extremely cruel, and He Tengjiao also knew that if 20,000 prisoners were killed and wounded, then what Wang Yan said was an empty word, and he naturally would not agree.
"Wuchang City is high and the river is deep, and there is no need for the green camp to open the road, so should the soldiers under the command of this governor be used to fill the moat?" Wang Yan glared at He Tengjiao, and then adjusted his tone and said: "Governor He can rest assured, there are not many Eight Banners soldiers in Wuchang City, and not all the others are of the same mind as the Qing court, and this governor is fully sure of breaking the city." The green battalion soldiers didn't lose much, and their exploits were also recorded in the name of He Commander, how about it? ”
"The merits of the war are recorded in my name, and that way is acceptable!" He Tengjiao thought about it slightly, then nodded and agreed with Wang Yan's statement, he didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers, he just wanted the merits that could be equal to Wang Yan.
He Tengjiao understands very well that he is not as good as Wang Yan in the use of soldiers, and if he wants to obtain meritorious service, it is best to let Wang Yan command, and he will let his men sell some strength, so that he can share enough benefits.
Wang Yan was relieved when he saw He Tengjiao's promise, after all, He Tengjiao's 60,000 soldiers and horses were still of great use for the future war, and they could become Wang Yan's barrier after the war, so that Wang Yan's soldiers and horses could be cultivated.
At this time, Wang Yan saw He Tengjiao leave, and was ready to ask someone to cut the braids of the 20,000 green battalions, and then rectify them to prepare for the siege of the city, but Liu Fangliang suddenly came outside the tent.
"Qi Guogong, Dingguo Hou sent Yang Zizhan over."
When Wang Yan heard this, he was shocked, he agreed with Gao Yigong to let Gao Yi attack and defend Xiangyang for two months, and he would inevitably bring soldiers and horses to support Xiangyang, and now Azig and Wu Sangui have been attacking Xiangyang for a month, could it be that Gao Yigong can no longer hold it?
"Come in quickly~" Wang Yan immediately got up and greeted him.
After the two entered the account, they immediately saluted Wang Yan, but Wang Yan waved his hand again and again, and his gaze crossed Liu Fangliang and fell directly on Yang Yanchang.
Wang Yan looked at his dusty appearance, and knew that he must have not rested all the way, and galloped over, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly asked: "Zi Zhan, but Xiangyang is in danger, and you must be asked to come over to ask for help?" ”
(Thanks for the reward of the wound of the battle, and then push "Demon Yue Zhu")
