Chapter 138 The Battle of Three Rivers (1)
No matter what, the news that the emperor decided to command the emperor in person still had a certain domineering effect.
The troops from all walks of life who had been slowing down and unwilling to get close quickly to Sanhe County from all directions.
He rushed to the scene and finally arrived in Sanhe County on the date designated by the emperor.
But when the generals settled down and went to the Beijing camp beside Chaobai River to pay homage to the admiral, they heard a message that made them stunned.
"What, the personal quest has been cancelled?!" He grabbed his chin and said, "Is this kind of thing still the final word?"
"Why are you yelling around? The holy bow has been bad all these years, and you don't know. A while ago, I had an old problem of dizziness and dizziness, so I could only stay in bed and rest." Yin Bingheng glared at him and coughed:
"Your Majesty must insist on expedition in person. But what came was just a partial army with less than 10,000 people, and it was not the main force of the rebels. Why should Your Majesty force him to hold on to the sick body? In order to protect the sage, I asked the emperor to suspend the expedition in person."
"That's how..." The generals nodded suspiciously, and vaguely saw the admiral taking the blame.
"Then will the war start date be postponed?" Wang Huaxi asked in a deep voice.
"The war date remains unchanged, it is the next day." Yin Bingheng said lightly.
"Think twice..." Zhang Chen, who was lying on the stretcher, coughed twice: "The enemy's strength is far beyond imagination, just like an adult bullying a child..."
"Yes." The other two people also nodded vigorously to agree. "The gap is so big, you can't plot..."
"The military gate knows me. Old Zhang came out of a big soldier with one sword and one shot. When will he be afraid of death?" Zhang Chen said the sad part and couldn't help but cry:
"But the problem is that when we face such an enemy, we don't even have the chance to shoot a single shot! This way of death is too cowardly, and I, Lao Zhang, can't stand it..."
Wang Huaxi and Du Tong also had red eyes, and the former sighed: "I really failed and have no temper at all."
"Military Sect, we have nearly 200,000 troops gathered in Sanhe County." Du Tong also said unluckyly: "But the opponent is still laying the tracks step by step and rushing towards us. What does this mean? People don't take us seriously at all!"
"You guys are quiet first, prick up your ears and listen to it. What's going on outside?" Yin Bingheng raised his hand and said expressionlessly: "Did you hear it? It's the sound of water! Chaobai River has already opened its linger!"
"..." The three of them shivered, obviously thinking of something terrible.
The Chaobai River has been opened, and 80% of the sea has resumed navigation. The main force of the Jiangnan Group may have landed in Caofeidian!
"So there is no time, everyone." Yin Bingheng stroked his gray beard and said slowly: "The reason is very simple. If we can't defeat an opponent's side troops with all our strength, there is no need to let our subordinates die in front of the opponent's main force."
The three of them understood in a second. After all, there were only 10,000 people on the other side, and they could not wipe out them all no matter what.
And if you face the main force, you may not be able to escape...
"So we must fight with this army before the opponent's main force arrives to see if we can find a suitable tactic." Yin Bingheng said in a deep voice: "The so-called great way is fifty, the heavens are four nine, and people escape one! There is no undefeated enemy in this world. As long as we find one of the escaped ones, it is the secret of victory!"

The three of them thought, I guess the old man will play "The Book of Changes" at home every day for years after retirement...
But Yin Bingheng is a famous general with both civil and military skills, and immediately followed the actual situation.
"After all, we now have an absolute advantage in numbers, and we are fighting in plains, which can maximize the advantage of their firearms. It is most suitable for cavalry combat in Shenshu Camp and the Five Military Camps."
"Yes." The three of them nodded. Fighting on the Sanhe Plain was indeed much more comfortable than attacking Tangshan City.
At least the enemy only brought two hundred cannons. On the battlefield where a horse was flat, it was impossible to repel the enemy from all directions with artillery and cold guns, just like in Tangshan.
Therefore, the cavalry of Shenshu Camp and Wujun Camp can take advantage of their maneuverability and break into the weak links of their defense line!
No wonder the Admiral didn't give up...
Finally, Yin Bingheng looked at the three of them and said, "Thank you all for the hard work before. This battle is enough to plunder the three camps!"
This is also impossible. Because the enemy has always maintained a dense formation, and there is no distinction between the left and right camps of the vanguard camps. I only go all the way.
Although it is easy to make dumplings, the battlefield is reduced to only one place, which greatly limits the strength that the government forces can invest.
No matter how many people there are, they can only watch it, and they will be messed up.
Of course the three of them couldn't ask for it, so they agreed after being polite.
On March 12, 19th year of Wanli, Zheng Yiluan led his Tangshan garrison troops to the Dachang area of Sanhe County.
Dachang was the original royal horse farm of the Yuan Dynasty, commonly known as "Dachang", which gradually evolved into "Dachang". Although horses are no longer raised here, the flat terrain will not change.
Just five miles away from Chaobai River, the two armies finally met.
Opposite the 10,000 Tangshan garrison troops was the direct strategic force of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, with a total of 100,000 elite troops from the three battalions!
Except for the 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Shenshu Camp who stayed in the capital to guard the house, the three major camps have already emerged in full swing.
In addition, there are nearly 100,000 government troops on the other side of Chaobai River to the south and Sanhe County to the north.
This focus battle with huge disparity in troops is destined to attract the attention of countless people!
In addition to the emperor of Beijing and Zhao Hao of Pudong and other commanders, the generals who guarded one side were also closely watching the outcome of the battle.
Under the plaque of the world's No. 1 level, Yang Siwei held the arrow pile with his hand and looked up, as if he wanted to see the grand occasion of this life-and-death battle with his own eyes.
Unfortunately, when I went to the capital six hundred miles, even if the hot air balloon left by Qi Jiguang was raised, I could only see loneliness.
But he did not dare to leave Shanhaiguan, because the task Zhao Hao gave him was to nail him here to prevent Qi Jiguang from leading his army south.
This is no longer a problem at the combat level. The soldiers were born from the Qi family army. Zhao Hao could not imagine what the morale of the army would be like when his commanders and soldiers faced Qi Jiguang.
So he had to transfer Qi Jiguang to the outside of the pass first, and then let Yang Siwei watch the door and block him outside.
Although Zhao Hao believed that Qi Jiguang would not wade into this muddy water again, and for such a short time, his crossing river dragon should not be able to deal with those Liaodong generals who are too big to lose.
But that was Qi Jiguang after all, it was the "light of miracle"! Who knew if he would be surprised that he would really bring his army back?
During the great changes, people's hearts are unpredictable, and capriciousness is the most common scene...
Even Yang Siwei was not really determined to do it with Zhao Hao.
When the world is in chaos, if there are soldiers, they will be the king of grass. To be honest, the generals cannot have the self-respecting force, at least they have the intention to wait for the price.
But before the lion could speak loudly, Yang Si was stunned and his heart was stunned by the battle of defense of Tangshan.
He had already thought about it. If the three rivers battles were still defeated, then he would completely correct his mindset and obey orders and obey orders. Zhao Hao asked him to chase dogs and never chase chickens. After the world was pacified, he would always be able to make a fortune by relying on his achievements today.
On the contrary, we have to have a good talk about the status issue in the future... For example, can we listen to the tune or not?
Xuanfu Town, thousands of miles away from Shanhaiguan.
Li Rusong, general of Xuanfu, was receiving Ma Gui, general of Ningxia who came from afar.
Ma Gui's trip was ordered by Wei Xuezeng, the governor of the Three Borders, and led 50,000 border troops in four towns in Shanxi to enter the capital to serve the king!
An old friend who had been passing by his territory for many years, of course Li Rusong had to fulfill his friendship with the landlord.
Ma Gui was invited to the General's Office as a guest. At this time of storm, he also wanted to touch Li Rusong's bottom.
They were all straight-key warriors, and they didn't have that kind of twists and turns. After three rounds of wine, Ma Gui asked in a deep voice: "Zimao, have you not received the imperial edict to come to Beijing to pay tribute to the king?"
"Received." Li Rusong said frankly: "But I have a governor and a governor on my side, so it's not my turn to do this."
Of course, there was a governor on Ma Gui's head, but the three-sided governor Wei Xuezeng was the mortal enemy of Zhang Juzheng at that time. He was only restored by Zhu Yijun after the fifteenth year of Wanli, so of course he had to serve the emperor.
As for the Governor of Xuanda Wang Daokun, a native of She County... Zhao Hao was the one who recovered from his own hands. His positions were different, so his choices were of course different.
"What do you think? Don't avenge your father's revenge?" Ma Gui said in a muffled voice. He knew that a fierce man like Li Rusong would not take the governor seriously if he had an imperial edict in his hand.
So he didn't move, so he probably didn't want to move himself, so he would go with the flow...
"My father is so good, why should I take revenge?" Li Rusong skillfully played with the sterling silver lighter and lit a thick cigar.
Looking at his style, a hint of enlightenment arose in Ma Gui's heart.
"You can't..."
"What's the point?" Li Rusong asked with a smile.
"Get the Shengli brand cigar too?" Magui took out a cigar from his sleeve, and it turned out to be the same brand.
The two immediately showed the expression of seeing the comrades.
"I didn't expect that Lao Ma, you, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also... smoke a cigar?" Li Rusong smiled and gave Ma Gui some more.
Ma Gui took a deep breath and said intoxicatedly: "This is an irresistible temptation."
"Yes, it's so addictive." Li Rusong nodded with a smile.
"How old are you?" Ma Gui asked.
"I have never stopped learning from my master." Li Rusong said. His master is Xu Wei...
"And you?"
"I, I've been in contact with them...it's not as long as you." Magui said: "Do you remember the Battle of Baimiao Township?"
"Well, it's about the twelfth year of Wanli." Li Rusong nodded.
In the 12th year of Wanli, the commander of Pingliang Guard, Harin, instructed his troops to disguise as bandits and beat up the Jiangnan Group Immigration Office. This was the "Pingliang Tragedy" that shocked the world.
After the tragedy, the governor of the three sides was pulled down to the end, and Ma Gui was also urgently transferred to the General of Guyuan.
"It is true that I led my army to surround Baimiao Township at that time, but I didn't take any action at all, just built a fence outside." Ma Gui smiled bitterly and said, "I took the blame for an executioner for nothing."
"That's the one who took action..." Li Rusong asked softly.
"Yes, it's them." Ma Gui nodded and said, "I saw with my own eyes how they razed the strong Baimiao Township of the village to the ground. I decided that I'll make up for this friend."
"Hahaha." The two of them laughed at each other.
After laughing, Ma Gui whispered: "Tell me, what are you going to do! I will advance and retreat with you..."
"Let me smoke cigars for two days first, and then let's talk about the results." Li Rusong said lightly.
"Okay, listen to you." Ma Guizhong pointed.
But this naive man didn't know that Li Rusong's father was already the chairman of Northwest Company...
