Fu Zonglong collapsed directly to the floor. If it weren't for the hot water spurting out of his mouth, Cheng Shijie would have thought Fu Zonglong was dead.

"Master Fu, why are you doing this?"

Cheng Shijie shrugged and said, "Can't we just let Cheng finish this battle with peace of mind?"

Fu Zonglong looked at Cheng Shijie, whose eyes were also bloodshot, while Sun Chengzong stared sharply at Fu Zonglong.

Fu Zonglong did not dare to look directly into Sun Chengzong's eyes.

In fact, Fu Zonglong was recommended by Sun Chengzong. It is said that Fu Zonglong is Sun Chengzong's man, but now his role is to hold back.

Cheng Shijie said: "Master Fu, does the court really want Cheng to withdraw his troops?"

Fu Zonglong nodded but said nothing.

"This is Chief Minister Wen's proposal, and His Majesty agrees!"

Gao Qiqian grabbed the cup in front of Cheng Shijie and drank a cup of hot tea. Then he gasped and said: "The news of the victory at Baliwan has spread throughout the capital. His Majesty Long Yan is very happy. He greatly appreciates General Cheng and is overjoyed.

It’s beyond words. However, Gao Yingxiang’s 200,000-strong rebel army has already captured Zhending. It is overwhelming, sweeping through Shunde, Daming Prefecture, and approaching Baoding, threatening the capital!”

Cheng Shijie knew that in history, Gao Yingxiang indeed broke through Zhending and greatly threatened the capital, but he was blocked by Lu Xiangsheng, and the Tianxiong Army became famous in one battle.

However, in this time and space, there was a huge deviation.

Gao Qiqian then continued: "Your Majesty is worried about the rebels... and Jiannu's siege on Haizhou has been repulsed. It is useless to fight anymore, so he intends to withdraw his troops and deal with Gao Yingxiang's rebels first..."

Cheng Shijie asked: "Where is Lu Xiangsheng?"

Gao Qiqian was slightly startled: "Master Lu?"

"Yes, what is he doing?"

Fu Zonglong said: "The imperial court did intend to order the Tianxiong Army to encircle the rebels. However, Mr. Lu was inspecting the Tianxiong Army's barracks and practicing the fire blunderbuss. Unfortunately, the fire blunderbuss exploded, and the shrapnel hit Lu Jiandou's forehead. Now his life hangs by a thread.

, life or death is uncertain..."

Before Fu Zonglong could finish his words, Cheng Shijie jumped up and said angrily: "It's so brilliant, so brilliant!"

Sun Chengzong asked curiously: "Beiping, are you saying that Lu Jiandou's accident was not an accident?"

"It's a man-made accident!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "In order to force me to retreat, they did everything they could!"

Of Gao Yingxiang's more than 200,000 rebels, almost one-fifth of them were able to fight, which was about 40,000 to 50,000. The rest were made up. Historically, Lu Xiangsheng used the more than 17,000 Tianxiong troops to fight.

On foot and cavalry, he defeated the refugee army and killed eleven leaders of the refugee army.

The actual combat effectiveness of Gao Yingxiang's troops is not very strong, but it is more than enough to deal with the Ming army in Gyeonggi.

Cheng Shijie said: "Master Fu, give Cheng half a month!"

Fu Zonglong has a big head now. He has never encountered such a situation. In the past, the Ming army fought with Jiannu. If the court ordered the withdrawal, it is estimated that the Ming army officers and soldiers would be as happy as the Chinese New Year, except this time.

The great victory at Baliwan in Haizhou was a hundred times more glorious than the emperor and the civil and military officials imagined. More than 8,000 soldiers were beheaded, nearly 10,000 Mongolian soldiers were recruited and surrendered, and 50,000 to 60,000 of the 100,000 slave soldiers were lost. Such achievements have already been achieved

Every officer of the Ming army, big or small, who was enough to participate in the war was promoted to several levels.

"If we continue to fight, what if the Jin army comes to help and the victory turns into defeat?" Fu Zonglong sighed and said: "His Majesty is also worried that the Jian slaves will come to help and the war situation will reverse! In the past few decades, our army has

There are many examples of those who are greedy for merit and rush forward, turning victory into defeat..."

"The slaves are already like this, and they still want to turn defeat into victory? Go ahead and have your fucking dream!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Master Fu, our army's cannons and shells have arrived. As soon as day breaks, the end of slavery will come! After trying, more than 50,000 to 60,000 people were surrounded. Our army fired ten thousand artillery pieces. First, the generals will

They exploded into bloody pieces, and then the cavalry charged, how many of them could have died! We will definitely win this battle!"

It was also very difficult for Fu Zonglong to deal with it. On the one hand, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the withdrawal. On the other hand, he was also afraid that these elite soldiers and generals who had struggled in the sea of ​​blood would suffer unnecessary losses. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that they would just accept it as soon as possible, but he simply didn't want it.

If he doesn't appreciate it, what can he do?

Fu Zonglong could still understand the desire of these generals to kill the enemy and serve the country, but several civil servants who were traveling with him were not so easy to talk to. Seeing that those generals were not willing to do anything, they couldn't help but sneered: "Whatever the court tells you to do, just do it."

Yes! There is no room for you warriors to comment on His Majesty's arrangements!"

"I just know how to fight, and I don't even think about what I will do if I lose! A group of guys who get carried away after winning a few battles. With mediocre generals like you, it's no wonder that our army has been retreating steadily in the past thirty years!"

As soon as they spoke, Cheng Shijie frowned, and even Sun Chengzong looked unhappy.

Cheng Shijie looked at Fu Zonglong: "Master Fu, are these your people? They don't seem to know the rules!"

Fu Zonglong said hurriedly: "They are all Wen's right-hand assistants."

Cheng Shijie slapped his palm on the table, jumped up, pointed at a white-faced and long-bearded civil servant, and roared: "A big-ass official, you dare to point fingers at me in my Chinese army tent, sarcastically, and call me a martial artist."

,What the hell! Throw it out!"

Cheng Shijie's bodyguards pounced on the civil servants before they could shout, grabbed them as if they were catching chickens, and threw them out.

Fu Zonglong was stunned.

During the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the status of civil servants was indeed low, but after the Tumubao Incident, civil servants were superior to military attachés. To put it bluntly, the generals did not dare to say a word when civil servants rode on top of the armed forces and shit.

It is not unusual for a sixth-grade junior civil servant to point his finger at a second-grade military general and scold him until the opponent can't even lift his head. As for how to give blind orders even though he clearly doesn't understand anything, messing up the combat deployment and ultimately leading to the annihilation of the entire army. This

This kind of thing is no longer new, and generals can only accept it and cannot resist it.

To put it bluntly, the army's food and salary, weapons supply, appointment and exemption of rewards and punishments, combat command and other powers are all in the hands of civil servants. They generals can only obey the blind orders of civil servants and go to war. Of course they win.

The civil servants strategized and used the troops like gods. The civil servants made the first contribution, and they, the generals who fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives, also benefited from the glory and made small contributions.

If you lose the battle, don't expect the civil servants to bear any responsibility. It's because the generals are afraid of the enemy and passively fight, so they lose. Anyway, the responsibility is unlikely to fall on the civil servants.

This group of nonsense civil servants make trouble all day long. They cannot fight, scold, speak, or beat. They have to obey their orders obediently and execute what they think is a perfect battle plan, but in fact it is full of loopholes. These are the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

fate!

Cheng Shijie, on the other hand, didn't save any face for Wen Tiren and just threw his people out!

Wen Tiren appears to be gentle and elegant, but in fact he is narrow-minded and will retaliate with anger. If Cheng Shijie offends him, will he still be able to reap the rewards?

Who is Cheng Shijie?

Will he do this?

As early as when he was a fourth-rank guard, the second-rank governor did everything he could without giving him any face. As for Wen Tiren, when Cheng Shijie was happy, he would call him Lord Wen, and if he was not happy, he would be buried.

In terms of officialdom struggles, Cheng Shijie is indeed unable to defeat Wen Tiren, but the problem is that Cheng Shijie is armed with a knife. He is not afraid of anyone when using a knife.

Cheng Shijie frowned slightly at these civil servants who were still shouting outside the tent.

Wu Sheng said: "Commander, the people under my command don't know how to handle things, so I'll go right away!"

"Ahhhh..."

After several screams, the whole world became quiet.

Cheng Shijie said: "Master Fu, it is rare to have a fighting chance. If we can wipe out the Jian slaves, why should we care about the mere bandits?"

"All right!"

Fu Zonglong saw that Cheng Shijie was determined to fight this battle, and he couldn't help but say that Cheng Shijie had the power to make decisions on the spot, and the words "acting cheaply" represented Cheng Shijie's power.

Fu Zonglong said: "I will report to the imperial court immediately and state the enemy's situation. I believe your majesty will not blame you!"

"Thank you, Master Fu!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Come, Master Fu, please go down and have a rest!"

After Fu Zonglong left, Gao Qiqian looked at Sun Chengzong and Sun Zhiwan.

Sun Chengzong knew that Gao Qiqian must have a secret purpose, so he left directly.

After Sun Chengzong and Sun Zhiman left, he sighed and said, "General Cheng, why are you doing this?"

"What?"

Gao Qiqian said: "There is a saying in our family that I don't know whether to say or not!"

"Eunuch Gao, you're welcome, what is our relationship?"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "Is there anything you can't say? Just say it!"

Gao Qiqian curled his lips and said: "I think you should obey the holy order, withdraw your troops as soon as possible, and immediately lead your troops back to the capital to support you. With thousands of contributions, you are not as good as King Qin to save you!"

Cheng Shijie said: "I have already done enough credit. Besides, if I can annihilate Jiannu, why should I withdraw my troops?"

"General Cheng used a weak force to rebuild the slaves, beheaded more than 8,000 people, and captured 50,000 people. This was actually Chengzu's greatest achievement after his expedition to the desert! At this moment, General Cheng's reputation has spread all over the world. Who doesn't know it? Who doesn't know it?

Even if you withdraw your troops at this time, it will not damage the reputation of General Cheng. Why do you have to make an unnecessary mistake and fight to the death with Jiannu, wasting your own strength in vain?"

Cheng Shijie said: "Eunuch Gao, you have to understand one thing: It's not that I like to fight to the death with Jiannu, it's really these bastards who deserve to be beaten! If I don't beat them up, it won't take long for them to jump again.

When you come out to make trouble, there is no time to calm down, and by then, more people will die!"

Gao Qiqian sighed: "General Cheng, everything that is too much is too little. You must know that if a tree is as beautiful as a forest, the wind will destroy it! General Cheng is determined to annihilate all Jiannu, so isn't he afraid that his achievements will shock his master!"

Gao Qiqian understood Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen was not a generous master. He was good at everything when he needed you. When he was not needed, he was just a chamber pot.

"The master is shocked by his great achievements?"

A faint smile appeared on Cheng Shijie's face: "I'm really not afraid of the master with his great achievements!"
