Chapter 320: Trends (Part II)
"General!" At this moment, a personal soldier rushed over: "General, the marshal will pass you over." ”
"Dashuai wants to see me?" Yuan Yu frowned.
I've been here for a long time, and the army I've led has been settled, and I've seen him a few times, but I've been blocked by the marshal's busy affairs, and now I want to see him?
Chang Boyuan is a descendant of King Qin, and King Qin actually controls it relatively strictly, but there are factions in any organization, and generals like Yuan Yu who have no background, even if they have some strength, they are naturally squeezed out and despised by high-level generals in the lineage.
Yuan Yu's official position is not low, his subordinates have real power, and his face is okay, but at this time, Yuan Yu and his army are transferred here, and they will naturally be transferred to be cannon fodder, which is the case with any organization.
Yuan Yu sneered in his heart and stepped up.
In the hall of the General's Mansion, Chang Boyuan was sitting, with a tiger face, sipping tea, and his expression was flat.
At this time, the hall was very quiet, only the footsteps of the pro-soldiers outside were heard, and the six pro-soldiers inside stood in two rows, standing with their hands down.
After a while, I heard a person inside: "The commander of the command Yuan Yu asked to see him." ”
Chang Boyuan had no expression on his face and said, "Come in!"
So Yuan Yu entered, and because of the difference in grade, he was passed in, and saluted respectfully: "Xiaguan Yuan Yu, meet the general, and say hello to the general!"
Chang Boyuan's face was gloomy, his eyes swept over Yuan Yu, and after a while, he said lightly: "General Yuan, get up, this time several support troops came by order, only General Yuan was the most slow, but what do you have to say?"
"General, the road is far away, and there is a wind and rain, so ...... The last will be convicted. Yuan Yu didn't believe that Chang Boyuan didn't know that the city he set out from was the farthest and most difficult to walk from here, so he wanted to defend, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Chang Boyuan sneering above, as well as the faintly murderous aura, and suddenly realized that he was in danger, he was an extremely smart person, he almost didn't even think about it, and immediately put on a respectful attitude to ask for guilt.
"Hmph, it's good that General Yuan is guilty, you have been given up by the king and have given you an official position, you should be grateful to the king! But you are at such a time, delaying the hour is a dereliction of duty!" Speaking of this, Chang Boyuan paused, his eyes swept coldly, and he saw Yuan Yu bowing his head and being respectful, before he continued.
"It should have been punished, but now is the time to employ people, you can make meritorious contributions for your crimes!" Chang Boyuan sneered and said that the person in front of him had some soldiers under him, which could be used.
"No!" Yuan Yu lowered his eyebrows and responded.
Seeing that this person was still quite knowledgeable, Chang Boyuan stopped beating and waved his hand: "You go down, go back and prepare, rest tonight, and replace the city wall tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Dashuai!" Yuan Yu took two steps back before turning to leave.
Returning to the barracks, looking at the barracks in the hazy twilight ahead, the junior officers were constantly patrolling back and forth at this time, but it gave people a mysterious and ominous feeling.
Yuan Yu knew that this was a situation of seeing the scene, he was an old man, so he naturally knew that this situation was the result of attrition if his army filled it, and at the moment, he was afraid that only half of the five thousand soldiers might be left in a few days.
Thinking so, Yuan Yu's bronze face was expressionless, stared for a while, and then looked at his own team of pro-soldiers, and said to a pro-soldier: "Go to the back and tell the tent, saying that you will add some tonight, and you will be full tomorrow to go to the city." ”
Saying that, he returned to his tent, exhaled, and sat down heavily, many people are superstitious about what means, but in fact, there is no need for this in the officialdom army, a fair and honest order can cut off the way of retreat, and it is helpless for the official to crush people to death.
"General, someone is asking to see you. At this time, the soldiers came to report again.
"Nope. Yuan Yu said coldly.
"But...... Someone said they knew you and were your old friend. ”
Yuan Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly remembered what had been agreed, stood up suddenly, walked a few steps, and said, "Let him come in." ”
Yuan Yu looked at who was coming and whether it was the person he thought.
"Is that you?" As soon as someone came in, Yuan Yu's expression moved and he said.
"It's me!" This is a young man, of medium stature, twenty-six or seventeen years old, with thick black eyebrows, as a nine-rank civil official, after Yuan Yu got rid of the left and right, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it over: "This is the token you asked for that day." ”
"So, they were sent to safety?" The jade pendant in front of him was exactly what Yuan Yu had seen in the young son of the lord, so it seemed that the little prince had indeed fallen into their hands.
He started from nothing, only one wife, one son and one daughter, and no clan, and the lord entrusted the little son, he was loyal and always cared, and at this time he got the letter and settled down.
The man arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, Tao, your wife and children, as well as the little son, have all arrived at a safe place, and we will never break our promise." ”
Yuan Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Even if this is the case, I will not break my word." ”
Then he asked, "On what basis did you come in?"
"I brought you a little military ration from the general, only 30% out of ten, and most of them were moldy. ”
Yuan Yu touched his sleeve, there were only ten taels of silver, took it out and put it on the table, and said, "According to the rules, you can go out with this silver!"
Every time the grain was paid, he had to give a kickback, and the official calmly took the silver, saying, "I have accepted the silver." ”
When he went out, his face changed again, and he said, "It's only ten taels of silver, who is this to send?"
When a few small officials outside heard this, they immediately became dissatisfied and scolded away.
After Yuan Yu saw it, he thought silently, and after a long time, he listened to the order three times, knowing that it was already night, and he didn't feel sleepy, and muttered: "It's easy to break the mountain, but it's hard to break the heart...... How many gases!"
I washed my face, blew the lamp, and went to bed and went to sleep, and I already had a plan in my heart.
November 9 of the first year of Hongwu
In the early morning, the autumn wind gusted, with a burst of murderous atmosphere.
With an order, the Dacheng army outside began to attack the city again, still thunderbolts, using boulders, hitting the city wall again and again.
In order to prevent the Dacheng army from succeeding, the city has long been prepared to repair things, as long as there are cracks, the people and soldiers will repair them.
The gravel has no eyes, and such a situation is very easy to die and be injured, Chang Boyuan did not use his own people, but ordered some generals to repair it.
Yuan Yu's department, which was one of them, asked him to lead his troops to hold on to the city.
This kind of is a thankless errand, and it is a duty to do it well, and if it is not a great achievement, it is a big crime to do it badly.
In the eyes of the general, Yuan Yu is a capable and ordinary general, without the unruliness of some generals, and on weekdays, he doesn't say a word, and he can be regarded as a person who keeps to himself.
Such a person has no backstage, so he can use it at ease, and he doesn't have to worry about someone settling accounts afterwards, which is a good scapegoat when necessary.
Naturally, they were sent as soon as possible.
With a "boom", a boulder fell, splashing countless gravel, in a short distance, even like Zi Jian's bullet, whoever hit it pierced a hole.
I only heard a few "ah" sounds, and several soldiers were smashed and let out screams.
"General, what should I do?" At this time, the deputy general came up, this deputy general was a confidant, an old comrade-in-arms and old subordinate for more than ten years, and he had already made a heart, and at this time, there was no reason to oppose the water, and everyone knew that the Dacheng Dynasty was irresistible.
"Wait, now is not the time, the vigilance in the city is not yet tired. Yuan Yu said gloomily: "Chang Boyuan still has a set of soldiers, the city gate and key places are guarded by his people, we are all watched, we must wait for the opportunity." ”
The deputy general thought about it, and it was indeed the case, so he nodded: "That's right, you still need to be patient at this time." ”
Hanzhong, Daying
As soon as he ran in panting, he said before he could salute: "Great handsome, the angel's decree has arrived!"
When Ding Huchen was in Chang'an, he had already set off to Hanzhong to preside over the overall situation, and he had long known that he was going to send troops.
"No!"
Ding Huchen changed his clothes, changed into a first-grade official robe, and greeted him with a solemn expression, and saw a seventh-grade official in his twenties, holding an edict in both hands and entering from the middle door.
"Ding Huchen receives the order!" The official was covered with dust, and he didn't have time to wash it off, so he went to the south in front of the incense case to set up, saw Ding Huchen prostrate and saluted, and unfolded the edict and read:
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: I am ordered by the heavens, unify the rivers, the heroes are tied, and the people are safe, I don't want Guo Wentong to resist the heavenly soldiers, and regard me as the lord who can be bullied.
"Minister, obey the order!" Ding Huchen bowed his head deeply, and when he raised it, his eyes were already blazing, and he shouted: "Fire the cannon and gather the generals!"
For Ding Huchen, this must be the last time he will personally lead the troops.
At the sound of an order, I saw a pillar of red light with purple gas, rising into the sky, reaching into the air.
"The killing qi rushes into the sky, this is the battle of pacification!" At this time, on a nearby mountain, two Taoists watched, one was Tongxuan, and the other was the master.
Tong Xuan listened and looked, but saw the red light passing by, and the sound of screaming and killing suddenly appeared, shocking, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Although it is a good order, but Qin Chuan still can't escape a military disaster!"
The head looked at it and smiled, and said: "This is the last military robbery, since then the fortune has been decided, and the world can finally be peaceful!" Tong Xuan said in a deep voice: "It's just that I see that the grassland still has qi, but I'm afraid it may not be completely calm." ”
The head smiled: "I used the secret method of the master's sect, and I saw that Luoyang's golden light was born in all directions, the sun was red, and the grass was already in the west cloud, and there was no reason to resist, what else do you have to be confused?"
Tong Xuan suddenly understood at this time that he was confident enough to be competent for the future road, so he no longer asked, and said, "I don't know when I will be able to return to the mountain?"
The head laughed: "You are practicing in the public gate, you can help the Dragon Court, and you have a great future, remember to take every step of the way!"
said, and sighed: "This catastrophe in the world, I don't know how many people are gray because of this, you can survive and enjoy, it's already amazing." (To be continued)
