Chapter 502: Qin Cha crosses the river
After the Wei army entered Wuchang Mansion, it resolutely destroyed the resisting left army, and gave some money and food to those who returned to obedience.
Soon more than 100,000 people gathered around Wei Wujun, Gao Yihuan took a short rest in Jiayu County, left the old and weak and women, selected the strong, got more than 30,000 people, and then marched east to the west bank of Jinshui, and confronted the left army on the east bank across the river.
The commander of the left army on the west bank was the general soldier Li Guoying, who was ranked as a first-class figure in the "Biography of Erchen".
This person is very capable, the governor of Sichuan, the secretary of the military department, the governor of Shaanxi and Sichuan, has been active in Sichuan, defeated the Southern Ming army many times, and even the last anti-Qing base, the thirteen families in Kuidong, were also destroyed in his hands.
In terms of level, Li Guoying may be more powerful than Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong.
However, although Li Guoying is strong and now has 100,000 soldiers and horses, he still has no confidence in the face of less than 20,000 Wei Wu troops and more than 30,000 vassals.
At this time, outside the camp of the left army, Li Guoying was dressed in armor and led a group of generals to wait outside the camp.
Not long after, a group of cavalry rushed in the distance, it was the Qincha who had rushed over from Wuchang.
Li Guoying and the others hurriedly greeted them, and laughed: "Li Guoying, the chief soldier of Wuchang, greet Qincha." Qin came from afar, fortunately! ”
Wang Yan glanced at Li Guoying, "Mr. Li, how is the situation now?" ”
Li Guoying got Zuo Liangyu's letter to explain, and hurriedly hugged his fists and replied: "Back to Qincha, now the two armies are facing each other, and the situation is quite normal, but there are signs of crossing the river on the other side. ”
Wang Yan frowned, "Prepare a boat for this official, and this official will cross the river immediately!" ”
Li Guoying smiled and nodded, and then waved his hand and ordered someone to do it.
Qin Cha and his entourage did not enter the camp, so they took a boat to the other side, Li Dingguo and others led the generals, stood on the shore and sent Qin Cha on the boat, and when the ship arrived on the other side, Li Guoying suddenly turned around and said to the generals behind him: "Qin Cha went to Gao Jingzhong's side, and this battle will not be able to be fought." You don't have other thoughts, wait for Gao Jingzhong to retire, Wuchang is still the world of our Zuozhen. ”
Gao Jingzhong on the opposite side is very vicious, let out the words, clearly mark the price, the soldiers used to give half a catty of rice every day, and seven yuan a month, and the officers brought over as many people as they wanted, and each time they brought a young and strong soldier, the officers got a commission of one penny of silver, and there was no upper limit.
Although the treatment offered is not as good as that of Wei Wujun, it is better than the situation that the left army does not pay anything and does not have enough to eat, so I don't know how strong it is.
This made the left army unstable, and rumors spread everywhere, there was no need to go to war, I am afraid that they would all be about to turn back.
Gao Yihuan also calculated the accounts, the left army is claimed to be 500,000, but the vast majority of them are old, weak, sick and disabled and their families, and the real usability is actually about 100,000, and it is also cost-effective to spend more than 100,000 taels to disintegrate the left army.
Li Guoying led the people to greet the Qin Cha, the purpose was to give his subordinates a reassurance, tell the generals not to panic, not to be so short-sighted, and let them know that the imperial court is on the side of the left army.
For ordinary soldiers, it is indeed beneficial to join the Wei Wu army, but for the generals of the left army, it is not so certain.
Chicken head and phoenix tail, whether it will be reused in the past is a question, it is estimated that it will not be as comfortable as Zuo Zhen, easy to mix.
This really made many generals of the Left Army who were already moved and ready to take refuge with Gao Yihuan hesitate again.
On the west bank of the Jinshui River, more than 50,000 Gao Yihuan were stationed on the opposite bank of Zuozhen.
On the bank of the river, the patrolling soldiers had already spotted a boat and swayed towards the west bank.
At this time, as soon as the ship docked, a group of patrolling soldiers came up to meet them, led by the chief sentry, and shouted, "Who are you?" What to do across the river? ”
Wang Yan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, was not in a hurry, "This official is a messenger appointed by His Majesty, and he has something important to see the Duke of Han!" ”
I heard that it was the Qin messenger sent by the Nanjing Emperor, and the sentry did not dare to slack off, and bowed his hand, "Please let me report later, and wait for the marshal to speak, so that the people can be enlarged to go ashore!" ”
Wang Yan frowned slightly, just this detail, he knew that Gao Jingzhong's people and horses had strict military laws, and he only listened to Gao Jingzhong.
He couldn't help but sigh, he was another warlord, but he smiled slightly: "Then it's troublesome!" ”
At this time, in the camp of Wei Wujun, Gao Yihuan sat in the big tent and discussed the matter of crossing the river with the generals.
Wang Youcai, who was still on the other side last night, is now sitting in Gao Yihuan's big tent, he stood up and arched his hand: "Dashuai, I have persuaded several left generals, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Yuncheng and others, are willing to serve Dashuai." ”
Gao Yihuan bowed his head with satisfaction, "Mr. has done a good job, Mr. Ben Shuai Ji has done a good job." ”
Wang Youcai's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly saluted and thanked the tall and handsome.
At this time, Gao Yihuan looked at everyone: "Since there are people on the other side who are willing to help, then let's cross the river." Zhao Daxian, you prepare your boats, and cross the river from Ma Jinzhong's defense area. ”
Saying that, he looked at Wang Youcai and said, "Sir, I have to trouble you to go over again tonight, discuss it with Ma Jinzhong and others, and the two sides will agree on a time, and there is a code." ”
Tall and handsome, he is in a high position, but his speech is like a spring breeze, and his voice is good, although it is an order, but it makes Wang Youcai feel very comfortable.
"Dashuai, the humble position will pass tonight!" Wang Youcai said.
Gao Yihuan immediately stood up, walked to a battle map, and waved his hand: "Everyone come here, let's take a look at how this battle should be fought." ”
The generals sitting on both sides got up in unison, and then gathered around.
Everyone was gossiping, but there was only one point of discussion, that is, how to quickly transport the army across the river.
Some people suggested that more boats should be prepared, and some people suggested that the boats should be connected and built into pontoon bridges, but in short, everyone believed that as long as the men and horses crossed the river quickly, the left army on the east bank would be a chicken and a dog, and they would be vulnerable.
Just when everyone was discussing, Zhou Dali lifted the curtain and clenched his fists to report, "Dashuai, the brother of the patrol found a boat docking by the river, and the people who came said that it was the imperial court, and he wanted to see the handsome, but can he see the handsome?" ”
Hearing this, the tent suddenly quieted down, Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "Come so fast!" ”
Zhao Daxian proposed: "Dashuai, why don't you hang it aside first, and wait for us to come to the river." ”
Gao Yihuan shook his head, "I'm here, I still have to see you." It's called political correctness, it's a matter of attitude, you know? Ben Shuai first put his attitude out, and then asked for a sky-high price to see what Qincha's attitude was. If the imperial court has a tough attitude, Ben Shuai just asks Qin Cha to take a look at my Wei Wujun's demeanor and see how the sons and daughters beat the grandson on the opposite side to the! ”
"Wonderful!" Wang Youcai gave a thumbs up, "The handsome man is really wise, this is equivalent to giving Qin Cha a dismount, and he doesn't believe that the court is not convinced." ”
Zhao Daxian's eyes narrowed, he felt a trace of pressure, he looked at Wang Youcai with a little shock, his mother sold batches, isn't this my line.
