Hey, what are you thinking of? Cao Wenzhao is difficult to talk to due to his status, but the two young men Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao don't have so many scruples, especially Qin Liangyu, who has already slapped the table and stared, "Master Ning
Right? Please go back and tell your lords that the military affairs of Jiuhua Mountain are under the responsibility of the Superintendent. Naturally, it is the Superintendent who has the final say on how to fight, how to fight, and when to fight."
As soon as Qin Liangyu finished speaking, Wu Sangui squinted his eyes and sneered: "Some people, even if they don't know what they are thinking, are thick-skinned enough, they don't take pictures to see how virtuous they are."
Ning Guolun's face turned red and white. If Qin Liangyu was being rude, Wu Sangui was just pointing his nose and scolding him. He was more or less the Deputy Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate was mostly a decoration,
The status was there, and now being scolded by a young man in a roundabout way, no one could bear it. So, Ning Guolun looked at Wu Sangui with a dark face, "Who are you, how dare you talk to me like this?"
"Ah, I dare to let you know, young general Wu Sangui. But when did the last general talk to you, sir? I mean Gao Yingxiang and that bunch of bastards..." Wu Sangui still squinted his eyes, not even bothering to turn around.
Come and see me as a gift.
"You...bastard...Wu Sangui, I'm going to fight you..." Ning Guolun rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit him. Wu Sangui was young and energetic, and Cao Bianjiao was helping him.
He stood up and was about to beat Ning Guolun. Now Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujiao couldn't stand it any longer, so they just scolded him secretly. If they really wanted to beat Ning Guolun, they would definitely have to suffer.
"Wantless, Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui, you two bastards, come here, drag these two people down and beat them with twenty army sticks." Several soldiers rushed in and dragged the two people down directly. As for Ning Guolun, he also
Ning Guolun was asked to leave. Ning Guolun didn't want to leave, but Cao Wenzhao had a good reason. He said he wanted Ning to calm down and take a rest, so he was dragged away by force.
Not long after Ning Guolun was dragged away, Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui came back angrily. Naturally, they were not hit with military sticks, but they were not acting just now. They really wanted to beat Ning Guolun. Others had scruples, but they were both naive.
Boy, you really don’t have to worry so much.
"Generals, those people just don't have good intentions." Cao Bianjiao wanted to say more, but Cao Wenzhao glared and cursed: "Shut up, you think you are the only one who understands, just sit back and listen."
Cao Wenzhao, Zhou Dingshan and others really couldn't make up their minds, so they had to send people to Tie Mo quickly. However, Cao Wenzhao was not idle either. He immediately ordered to strengthen the alert and block the intersection, let alone rogue bandits.
No bird can fly over. This is on the one hand to scare the bandits, and on the other hand it is for the eyes of the Nanjing officials, so that those people in the province will find excuses to cause trouble.
How to fight the rogue bandits? Tie Mo had already planned, how could he change it because of the request of the Nanjing officials? After the news was sent, not only Tie Mo, but also Xu Hongji found it ridiculous. According to the idea of Mr. Gu Tongen of the Ministry of War, the North and the South
The army on the road worked together and wiped out the rogue bandits in a few days.
It can only be said that Gu Shangshu is not familiar with military affairs. Although the rogue bandits are now trapped in the Straw Hat Slope area and cannot move. However, Gao Yingxiang still has an army of hundreds of thousands, and the leader has not suffered much losses. The total number of Beijing camp and border troops is only more than 80,000.
If Gao Yingxiang is really driven into a panic and the bandits are determined to break out in one direction, the consequences will not be something Tie Mo and Xu Hongji can bear.
It is said that there are 80,000 troops, but one can be divided into north and south, and one south and one north are at most 40,000 people. However, the rogue bandits can concentrate their forces to attack one place, and only need a small number of troops to contain the other place. It can be said that Gao Yingxiang only needs to be iron.
They were determined to break through the encirclement, and with the existing troops and horses of Tie Mo and Xu Hongji, they could not stop them at all.
Defeating the bandits and exterminating the bandits are completely different things. Unfortunately, these differences are the same in the eyes of Nanjing officials. It can only be said that the ignorant are fearless.
They tried their best to kill Gao Yingxiang and forced Gao Yingxiang to break through. Not only did he suffer heavy casualties, but he was still unable to stop the rogue bandits from breaking out. According to the plan formulated by the Nanjing Ministry of War, in the end, all the frontier troops and the Beijing camp were crippled, and the rogue bandits were also crippled.
However, people like Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were still able to escape with the remaining soldiers.
It cannot be completely wiped out, but it is still a good thing to severely damage the rogue bandits, but what can Tie Mo and Xu Hongji get from it? Especially Xu Hongji, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp under his are the capital to live and work, so really crippling the Beijing camp,
Even after the fight was over, Mr. Xu had no place to cry.
He felt like a mirror in his heart, so after a while, Xu Hongji threw the official document directly into the charcoal basin and burned it to ashes, "Whatever, let's fight them how we want to fight? Isn't it just wrangling? I will stay with them until the end of time. Hey,
If you are really capable, you can send people here to suppress the bandits. You can really suppress the bandits and save us a lot of trouble."
Tie Mo tilted his head, resting his chin with his left hand, smiling a little weirdly. Xu Zhixin knew Tie Mo a little bit, so she picked up the scabbard on the ground and stretched it out to poke it, "Do you have any ideas again? You might as well tell me.
.”
"Haha, I have some ideas. Don't those officials want to wipe out the bandits? We can't do nothing. Otherwise, if the bandits are really let go, then those people will slap a bucket of shit on us, and the common people will not scold us to death.
?In this case, let’s stop the mouths of this group of people. Since they want to wipe out the bandits once and for all, then let’s wipe them out. Let’s reply with an official document and say that our troops are limited and we need reinforcements. Let’s see what they are.
reaction!"
The eyes of the Xu family's father and daughter all brightened up, and Xu Hongji couldn't help but shout out. Yes, we want to wipe out the bandits, so don't just use words, but also use your strength. If we can really wipe out the bandits, then
It's a good thing. At worst, more people can share the spoils, but if the Nanjing Sixth Department fails to live up to expectations and something goes wrong later, then don't blame others.
Xu Zhixin wrote and Xu Hongji stated that an official document would be sent to Nanjing soon. It would take two days to send an urgent document to and from Nanjing. Tie Mo and others were not in a hurry. Anyway, Gao Yingxiang and his gang were trapped in the Cao Mao Slope area and did not dare to do anything.
What a big move.
In fact, as long as Tie Mo doesn't push too hard, Gao Yingxiang really doesn't dare to do anything extraordinary. After all, the shock brought by the previous battle at Mopan Camp was too strong. The Yunfu cavalry and artillery, after the first battle, Li Zicheng
, several groups of Wang Yan and Xu Beichuan killed more than 50,000 people. If we continue to fight like this, how many people will survive in the end?
The cavalry can still cope with it, but Gao Yingxiang is really helpless against the terrifying artillery. In short, as long as he breaks through, he will be covered by artillery fire. Although the previous battle cost a lot of artillery shells, it is not sure that the officers and soldiers still have them.
How much artillery fire. But I don’t dare to gamble on this kind of thing. If those idiots still have more stocks in their hands, then if they continue to break through, aren’t they looking for death?
If you force a breakout, you can definitely break out, but this kind of thing is very unsafe. Maybe someone else breaks out, but Gao Yingxiang died on the way to breakout. As his power increases, his status becomes higher and higher, Gao Yingxiang
He is becoming less and less willing to take risks. If he dies on the way to break out, then there is no point in breaking through successfully. What is important is that he can survive. It is not that he cannot take risks, but the risk is too great. Once he breaks through forcefully, he will
The personality of the living king of hell must be focused on his Gao someone. When the time comes, the possibility that his Gao someone can escape alive is estimated to be less than 20%.
Gao Yingxiang didn't want to take that road unless he had to, so he kept wasting his time in the past few days. But wasting was not a solution after all. He had to think of a way out. Looking at the group of frowning leaders, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Chu Lai said, "Everyone, our army is now trapped in Jiuhua Mountain. Please brainstorm and come up with some solutions. If any brother has any strategy, it's okay to just say it."
At this time, not to mention others, even Li Zicheng didn't have a good idea. The breakout would definitely be successful, but everyone also understood that once the siege broke out, then their famous leaders must be the focus of care, and others could escape.
, the possibility that these big bosses can escape is very small.
If the rebel army is not destroyed and we are destroyed, then it is best not to take this road yet. Li Zicheng can be said to have the same idea as Gao Yingxiang, and so do others. But apart from breaking out, is there anything else to pay attention to in the meantime?
Almost unanimously, everyone focused their attention on Niu Jinxing, who was in the first position on the right hand. Niu Jinxing felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, as if there was an extra piece of ten-thousand-year ice on his back. In desperation, he had no choice but to stand up and said: "King Chuang, according to the
My subordinates have observed that this matter is not completely impossible. In recent days, my subordinates have secretly observed the movements of the officers and soldiers in the north and south. It can be said that the officers and soldiers have been blocking the intersection and there is no sign of attacking our army."
"From this point of view, it seems that the officers and soldiers do not want to fight with us. Everyone must know that the living king of hell is a bold man who often does things that are unbelievable. He even dares to disobey the court's orders and dare to
We make our own decisions. In this case, we might as well put more effort into the living King of Hell."
After saying this, the expressions of Li Zicheng and others changed. Everyone has seen how terrifying the Living King of Hell is. If you work hard on him, isn't this the old man who hangs himself because he doesn't want to live long? Li Zicheng is an arrogant person, but let him find a job.
He definitely didn't want to cause trouble to the King of Hell. He lost nearly half of his elite troops, all thanks to the gift of the Living King of Hell. He was still not that stupid to fight against the Living King of Hell.
Looking at everyone's faces, Niu Jinxing knew that everyone had misunderstood. Afraid of causing public anger, he quickly raised his hands and explained: "Everyone, please listen to Niu's detailed explanation. Niu is not talking about dealing with the Living King of Hell, but that we can find the Living King of Hell.
Let’s talk, as long as there are enough chips, it’s not impossible to let the living King of Hell open a way.”
Li Zicheng frowned, "Mr. Niu, are you crazy?"
"Hey, General Li, Niu is not crazy. Looking at Huoyan Wang's previous behavior, this person pays attention to practical interests and rarely dares to lose money. What's more, Huoyan Wang is a real Shanxi merchant who started out, and he has always been a businessman in his heart.
It's deceitful. Now that the officers and soldiers are not taking any action, there is a high probability that the Living King of Hell is also thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity. The Living King of Hell is not stupid, and if he really wants to fight to the death, he will not get any benefits. It is impossible for him to understand this truth. "
After a pause, Niu Jinxing turned around and saluted Gao Yingxiang, "I thought it might as well send someone to try. If it doesn't work, we won't have much to lose. Of course, I leave it to King Chuang to make the final decision."
Gao Yingxiang's scalp wrinkled up, and in the end, the ball was kicked back. However, he was still a little tempted by Niu Jinxing's proposal. If the Living King of Hell could take the initiative to get out of the way, that would be a great thing.
But the hope is very slim. Even if the King of Hell agrees, he will still have to swallow a lot of things with the appetite of the King of Hell.
"Then send someone to try?" Gao Yingxiang felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was afraid of the king of hell, so his face didn't have any luster. Li Zicheng and others looked at each other and nodded awkwardly.
Let's talk about it. If we really can negotiate, we don't have to fight with the Living King of Hell. We won't mess with the Living King of Hell if we can. This is a tacit consensus among everyone. The negotiation can't be delayed, and soon Li Yan
He was sent out. It wasn't that Li Zicheng meant to trick Li Yan, but he had been in the army several times, and the only one suitable for doing such a thing was Li Yan.
Li Yan is talented and eloquent, so he is very suitable for this kind of thing. Furthermore, when the two armies are facing each other, the King of Hell is also a man of integrity and will not embarrass Li Yan.
Li Yan went to Zhangjiaying with mixed feelings. He never thought in his life that he could be a peace messenger. What Li Yan didn't know was that as soon as he set out, someone had already started to take action.
On February 15th of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the weather became warmer and the branches and leaves showed new green. In this early spring season, Nanjing mobilized troops from surrounding states after emergency consultations, and a total of more than 30,000 people went to the Jiuhua Mountain area. At the same time, the Nanjing War Department
When writing about Jiuhua Mountain, he ordered all the troops to cooperate with each other to destroy the bandits entrenched in Jiuhua Mountain.
As soon as this news came out, Southern Zhili was shocked, and the people jumped for joy, waiting for the good news to come. Tie Mo was still a little surprised by Nanjing's troop deployment. In just a few days, Nanjing mobilized 30,000 troops
The attack on the bandits in Jiuhua Mountain was considered well-intentioned. The person leading the army was not too unfamiliar to Tie Mo. This person was Xu Changlu, the former commander-in-chief of Ningguo Mansion.
After the army was defeated and retreated to Nanzhili, Yue Zicong, who had led the army at the time, was idle at home, waiting for punishment from the court. Another garrison general, Nangong Sen, was disabled and returned home to retire. Xu Changlu, on the other hand, took the opportunity for a while and was reactivated.
After getting the news, Xu Zhixin's first reaction was to laugh. If others don't know what kind of virtue Xu Changlu is, how can she not know it? Xu Changlu is an out-and-out second generation ancestor, and his skills are not as good as those of his incompetent brother Xu Wenjue.
.
"Interesting, do Gu Tongen and the others think that rogue bandits are no longer a thing and they can take credit for their achievements casually? Send Xu Changlu to lead the troops, haha... now there is something good to watch...
..”
Tie Mo smiled and curled his lips. He didn't have much thought about Xu Changlu because Li Yan was here.
