Chapter 191: Forced Away

Slowly taking off his scarf, Chen Xie, who was dressed in casual clothes, didn't look mighty at all, like a scholar. The atmosphere was a little dignified, Zhang Yao with a gloomy face, Sun Yuanhua who was haggard, Song Yi who dozed off with his hands down, and Song Guanglan, the deputy envoy of the prison army, who usually didn't have any sense of zài, also came, sitting there like a statue.

There was a stove in the middle, Chen Xie calmly stepped forward to warm his hands, rubbed them vigorously a few times, and said, "What?" Lord Zhongcheng invited everyone to come, are you here to sit still? ”

Well, one sentence stunned everyone, everyone didn't expect Chen Xie to open his mouth like this.

Sun Yuanhua's bloodshot eyes glanced at Chen Xie, and said weakly: "Chen Sihua, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be weird." All of you here are your superiors, what can't you say openly? ”

Chen Xie sighed, scratched his head and said: "Millions of people under Denglai's rule are facing the threat of Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's rebels, half of Shandong is struggling in the flames of war, the rebels are laughing, and the people are wailing. And you guys are in a daze! ”

"Presumptuous!" It was Zhang Yao who spoke, and everyone else was already dumbfounded, when did Chen Xie become so sharp-tongued? Chen Xie faced Zhang Yao and smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhang, wait for me to finish speaking." ”

As soon as he turned around, he faced Sun Yuanhua and arched his hand: "Lord Zhongcheng, you can't wait any longer, the rebels are marching eastward all the way and will reach Dengzhou in a few days." You can't wait for the rebels to come down to the city to react, then it's too late. ”

Song Guanglan, the prison guard, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke at this time: "Chen Sihua, what do you say to change?" ”

Chen Xie stretched out his hand. Pull out the map, walk to the wall, and reach for it with the pin. Raise your hand and point: "This is Dengzhou, this is Laizhou." The rebels are here, the new city. There is still time, and the rebels can't go fast in this weather, so it is imperative to send troops to intercept them, at least to block the rebels in Huangxian. At the same time, the defense of Laizhou will be strengthened. Don't miss anything. ”

"Chen Sihua. What's the idea? Could it be that Laizhou is not under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhongcheng? "Song Guanglan is in a hurry, this idea is too lacking in morality, oh. Hold east of Huang County. It doesn't matter if it's any other area. You are the general of the Dengzhou battalion. Lao Tzu is the deputy envoy of Denglai.

When Song Yi heard this sentence on the side, he didn't fall asleep, and said gloomily: "Song Jian Jun." Why is this not the right idea? Didn't you also say that you should strengthen the defense of Laizhou? Chen Sihua has no more than 3,000 soldiers in his hands, and he has to defend externally and internally, what do you say he should do? You have an idea, and we'll hear it. "Song Yi is the prefect of Dengzhou, and Chen Xie's words are in his interests. Of course he has to speak, and if he doesn't, he will be stupid.

"Master Zhang, you are a soldier patrolling, tell me about it." Sun Yuanhua hurriedly interrupted, he knew Chen Xie's death hole.

Zhang Yao didn't speak immediately, but stood opposite Chen Xie, and said with a straight face: "Sihua, military affairs, how can it be child's play?" ”

Chen Xie said: "There is a saying in the Song Governor's Mansion that is very reasonable, and it is necessary to guard against the outside and the inside. To put it mildly, defeat Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, and raise your hand. The problem is that I'm worried that if I go out with my front foot, I will be slashed in the back heel. I don't dare to try the taste of front and back. ”

"Chen Sihua, don't spew blood." In a word, Zhang Tao and Geng Zhongming's buttocks were on fire, and they spoke in unison. Chen Xie looked at the two of them coldly and didn't speak, and after suppressing the arrogance of both of them, he bowed his hand to Sun Yuanhua and said: "Zhongcheng, the lowly post must be agreed by the adults, and immediately transfer our troops into the city to take over the defense of Dengzhou." General Zhang and General Geng, since I said that my suspicions do not exist, then it is better to take the men and horses of the headquarters to fight. Dengzhou Defense, with me and General Zhang, there will be no problems. ”

It is necessary to pull Zhang Keda, and at this time, it must be a batch of hits. Zhang Keda himself may not be incompetent, he is just a victim of the Ming Dynasty's system of civilian officials controlling military attachés. Zhang Keda in history still hangs the martyrdom. Chen Xie can't look down on him anymore, and he will still be the chief soldier. In this way, the power on Chen Xie's side is strong, and the civil officials include Zhang Yao and Song Yi, a group of officials who have already ascended to the state capital, and the military generals include the general Zhang Keda, the general Chen Xie, the guerrilla Chen Liangmo, and Wang Qinian, who is stationed in Huang County. In terms of military strength, it has the advantage of being on the right foot, and the civilian strength is not bad.

Chen Xie's words are to force Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao to fight, if they don't agree, it means that there are ghosts in their hearts.

"Lord Zhongcheng, it's not that we don't want to fight, but that we have few soldiers and no money and food." Geng Zhongming still wanted to argue, Zhang Tao had already shut up on the side, he knew very well in his heart that it would definitely be useless. Not to mention Sun Yuanhua's recent hot fight with Chen Xie, in terms of force, they are not something that Chen Xie and Zhang Keda can resist together.

Sun Yuanhua was really more willing to believe Chen Xie, Kong Youde's mutiny did leave a psychological shadow on him. I feel that I am so good to them, and these guys are mutinied, which is a clear act of ingratitude. At present, if you want to secure these positions, you must first hold the Denglai area. In this way, the most trustworthy military must be Chen Xie and his green skin soldiers.

"Sihua, what do you think of Geng Yuntai?" Sun Yuanhua is still a bureaucrat in his bones, and holding the position under his ass is the first in his opinion. Kong Youde can rebel, and so can Geng Zhongming. Dongjiang Town is in chaos, and Huanglong almost lost his life, what does this mean? It shows that these old departments of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town are no longer trustworthy.

"Lord Zhongcheng, I don't want to make it difficult for others. In this way, as long as Deputy General Zhang and Geng Guerrilla are willing to take 5,000 Dongjiang troops to battle, they are willing to provide half a month's rations, and then provide a batch every half a month. Until the end of the counterinsurgency. Chen Xie's reason is very strong, and Geng Zhongming has no possibility to refute it. Sun Yuanhua also thinks he is very interesting, it is true that this product is rich. Food is provided, and don't expect him to pay the army.

"Okay, that's it, and so is the Bingxian, who will provide a monthly salary, and then pay it every month. Geng Yuntai, what else do you have to say? "I didn't call him by his name, even if it was very face-saving for Geng Zhongming.

Geng Zhongming was still hesitating, but at this time, Song Guanglan didn't agree, and said gloomily: "What, Deputy General Zhang and Geng Guerrilla, still don't you want to fight Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng?" It seems that if you are rumored to have a good relationship, I am afraid it is true. ”

Zhang Yao and Song Yi saved their saliva and looked at these two with unkind eyes. It's up to them to go on or not.

The two exchanged glances with each other, and Zhang Tao nodded and said: "The lowly army is commanded, but the rebels are powerful, and they are coerced by tens of thousands of thieves, and the lowly and Geng Yuntai are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and half of them are sailors." ”

Zhang Keda spoke at this time: "There are 3,000 new reinforcements from Zhejiang to Liaodong, and they are also assigned to you. "These 3,000 Zhejiang troops, led by Chen Liangmo, were originally assigned to Denglai to command and reinforce Liaodong. By the time it was time for Dengzhou to replenish, the Daling River had been defeated. No, it was temporarily under the command of Zhang Keda and used to quell the rebellion.

"I have thanked the chief soldier for my humble duties." Zhang Tao has nothing to say, all the interfaces have been found, and it will definitely not work if you don't go. If you really don't go, you won't be able to pass this hurdle today.

"Wait a minute, since the two of you have decided to send troops, then wait a little longer, and I will transfer a force into the city, so as not to make Dengzhou City air defense." Chen Xie's words woke everyone up, right, what if these two go back and mess up? Who can guarantee this? Chen Xie's soldiers can fight, his people entered the city and took over the defense, and the rest of the things are up to these two.

"So be it, you guys wait here." Sun Yuanhua also agreed with Chen Xie's meaning, and finally made a decision.

This time, Zhang Tao and Geng Zhongming hated Chen Xie very much, and their eyes were cold when they looked at him. Chen Xie didn't care at all, sitting there holding an American teacup (stainless steel) in his hand, and the old god was there, and he was very hated.

Zhang Yao asked a little worriedly: "Sihua, it's snowing this day." ”

Chen Xie waved his hand very tuggingly and said, "It's okay, it's nothing." Isn't the so-called elite army a unit that can fight under any conditions? What is this bit of snow? Even if Dengzhou is in the earthquake, the military will give an order, go forward and succeed, and do not hesitate. ”

A bunch of people just sit and continue to drink tea and chat, it's one thing to fight or not, and it's another thing to fight whether there is anyone to fight. As for the rest of the follow-up, the civil servants will not consider it. They don't have a strict military plan in mind. This can be seen by looking at the Battle of the Daling River. There was no careful plan in advance, and reinforcements were sent one after another when the fight began, and Sun Chengzong was at this level, and he couldn't get rid of the shackles of civilian officials. In other words, the military operations of these times relied too much on the individual capabilities of the commander.

Chen Xie's side is just the opposite, no matter who leads the troops to fight, he must make a careful plan in advance, take all kinds of possibilities into account, and deduce repeatedly. The final action plan may not be the best, but it will certainly not be bad.

The military gave the order and sent the horse out of the city, but in an hour, the herald returned. The Zhangjiazhuang regimental training camp has been assembled and is on the way to Dengzhou. Sun Yuanhua was also a little excited when he heard it, it was snowing outside, and Chen Xie really transferred the troops. He immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the city." ”

Everyone had no choice but to stand up, go out of the yamen, and step on the snow to the south gate of the city. As soon as he went up to the city tower, another fast horse arrived, and the Qishan battalion had completed the whole army and was going to Dengzhou overnight. I will definitely be able to go to Dengzhou tomorrow morning.

Now Sun Yuanhua was moved, you must know that this is a night march on a snowy day, Li Yuxue entered Caizhou at night, that was seen in the history books, this time it really happened in front of you.

"It's really a strong soldier, and the Qi family army was just like this in the past, right?" Song Guanglan sighed with emotion, Chen Xie's face was expressionless, and he was disdainful. Qi Jiguang is very powerful, but can his Qi family army compare with my modern army? (To be continued......)
