Chapter 231 Ye He's Comrade
The war was in full swing, but the soldiers on the front line did not even have cotton coats. My father-in-law hereby thanked the wealthy businessman "Geati" in the pass for donating 100 taels of cotton gold to the front line. When the army returned to triumphant, he would be the emperor's guarantee as a franchise partner of the inner court.
He has always been a hero in the times!
The military supervisor Zhou no longer wants to live the same life as before. He doesn't want to be pointed at his wife and scolded him for this life. He doesn't even have the ability to earn a "Taijun" for his wife.
As Eunuch Wei said to him at Kuandian’s card table, “War is like playing cards, you have to rush at critical moments, otherwise how can you win a lot of money?”
Shuttle!
People are afraid of death, but what did my father-in-law say?
Oh, yes, a man dies and a bird is facing the sky, and it will never die for thousands of years!
Just like a person who is afraid of ghosts, he is afraid to die before the ghost appears, but when the ghost really appears, will he be scared to death by the ghost?
Now the situation is a risky situation to fight for wealth.
Zhou Jianjun secretly encouraged himself. He could not lose to Ma Xiangde. That old boy was a military supervisor in Li Rubai's army. If he performed better than himself, wouldn't he be overshadowed in his father-in-law's mind?
Therefore, no matter whether Xu Xianchun can succeed, Zhou Tiexin will not cross the south, so he will nail Duli Aha to wait for Ye He's troops!
He did not want Jiannu to know his integrity in defending the Liaohai Road, nor did he want the court to know his Zhou Tiexin's pride, but wanted Eunuch Wei to know him.
This is enough!
I understand, my father-in-law;
Those who understand me are my father-in-law!
For some reason, Zhou Tiexin thought of the words Du Song said to the sending passer when he set out from Shenyang, "Du Song is an illiterate warrior, but he does not learn from scholars to be greedy for money and fear of death."
Do scholars must be greedy for money and fear death?
Zhou Tiexin doesn't think so. He is greedy for money, but he may not be afraid of death.
Although God often lets people down, he occasionally understands people.
Zhou Tiexin bet right, Jilin Cliff succeeded!
Wang Xuan, Zhang Daji, Liu Yujie and others were ecstatic. The simple things were too unexpected. No one expected that Jiannu would be exposed after the great victory.
The area around Sarhu in front of me turned out to be the "vacuum" area mentioned by the princess's relatives and grandson!
"There is something to do, and there is something to do!"
Wang Xuan was very excited and was the first to rush out of the military tent to lead his troops to Jilin Cliff. Liu Yujie, general Gong Niansui and others hurriedly summoned their troops to fight out of the defense camp.
Soon, after seizing Jilin Cliff, Du Songyu's troops recovered the Sarhu Camp, killed 178 left-behind Jiannu, and robbed some of the weapons and horses that were still taken away by Jiannu.
Du Song's body was discovered by the Ming army in the forest, but his head was gone. After asking about the captured Ming army, it was found that after General Du was shot and killed by the Thirteenth Prince of Jiannu, his head was cut off and taken away.
Zhou Tiexin could not regain Du Song's head now, so he had to order people to temporarily bury Du Song's body under Jilin Cliff.
The successive regaining of Jilin Ya and Sarhu has restored a lot of morale that the Ming army had lost due to the great defeat, but many generals still have no idea what to do next.
Some people say that they should take advantage of the main force of Jiannu to concentrate on the Malin tribe on the north road, and attack Jiannu from the rear from Jilin Cliff. Some people say that they should immediately advance eastward and the southeastern routes to join forces. Some people say that they should not move their troops and guard Jilin Cliff and prevent Jiannu from returning to the army.
Among the various opinions, Zhou Tiexin adopted Xu Xianchun's opinion, and used a group of troops to garrison Jilin Cliffs and a group of troops to garrison the defense camps. The rest of the troops chose to choose the brave men to fight and form several advancing teams.
Each team had more than a hundred people, and at least dozens of people, all of whom were wearing Jiannu's armor and carrying out the policy of destroying the area controlled by Jiannu's rear. That is, attacking Jiannu's checkpoints, cutting off its flood roads, burning its strongholds, making the rear of Jiannu unstable.
"Although our troops have thousands of troops, they are not enough to attack. We can only wait for the North Road to decide the outcome."
Xu Xianchun secretly told Zhou Tiexin that the Marin tribe would undoubtedly be defeated, so they could not cause too much trouble, as it would instead make Jiannu give up on advancing eastward and instead deal with their remnants.
Therefore, it is wise to make a small move first, and after the main force of Jiannu came out from Shangjianya, he joined Yehe's troops to attack Gule City leading to Heituara. Unexpectedly, when the main force of Jiannu and Liu Ju's troops fought against the east road, the overall situation could be determined.
Xu Xianchun said again: "If Ye He is unwilling to attack the main force of Jiannu with our army, the military supervisor can also let them attack Heituara. In this way, Jiannu lost his base, and would be like a bandit. How could he last forever in this dense mountain forest and valley?"
Zhou Tiexin immediately adopted the case and ordered Baoding General Wang Xuan to lead the remaining troops and rescue more than 3,000 Ming troops stationed in Jilin Cliff to strengthen fortifications to persevere.
The Dushi Liu Yujie was also ordered to guard the Dali Aha defense camp, and the general Gong Nian was stationed in the Sarhu camp with him. The rest of the troops were all organized into the Jianzhou advancing team after being commanded by Xu Xianchun, and attacked and destroyed the Jiannu stronghold in the Sarhu area.
Zhou Tiexin originally intended that Xu Xianchun was both wise and brave, but he could command the overall situation with him in Sarhu, but Xu Xianchun still asked to lead the team behind the enemy to destroy.
Zhou Tiexin couldn't persuade him, so he had to let Xu Ziwei do it.
Two days later, Wang Xuan urgently reported that the North Road Malin was defeated, and the main force of Jiannu had advanced from Shangjianya from Zarkha Guan to the east, and did not realize that Jilinya had been captured by the Ming army.
The news of Malin's defeat made Du Song's troops, who had just breathed, feel a little unstable, but Zhou Tiexin informed the generals that Ye He had more than 10,000 troops from the upper reaches of the Hun River. He also said that Shenyang Jingluo knew that all the northern routes were defeated, so he mobilized more than 10,000 troops left behind in Shenyang to support him.
"The old slave has led his troops eastward. There is no Jiannu master here. I have troops to help, so what's there to be afraid of!"
In order to show that he was advancing and retreating with his soldiers, Zhou Tiexin ordered people to cut down the old forest for a hundred years to make a coffin and put it in front of the military tent of the camp, saying that if he ran away first, anyone could kill him. After death, they either abandoned them in wasteland and let animals share their food, or threw them into the Hunhe River to feed fish and shrimps.
"But if the official died in battle and the person who is alive is concerned about his intention to serve the country, he can put himself in this coffin!"
Zhou Tiexin's move to put the coffin greatly shocked the soldiers. In addition, there were reinforcements, and there was no main force of Jiannu here, so the morale of the army was no longer shaken.
On a path leading to Zarqa Pass, two Eight Banners soldiers kept whipping their whips and whipped their mounts. The two of them were so anxious because they were eager to inform Zarqa Pass of emergency military information. Yesterday, the bold Yehe tribe attacked Shangjianya under the banner of the Ming Jianzhou Guard Division. More than 200 soldiers from Niuluezhenhada and Orchin were killed in battle. Now Yehe tribe has crossed Shangjianya and is marching towards Zarqa Pass.
These two Eight Banners soldiers were Xun soldiers from Yima Village from Shangjianya to Zarkha Pass. Their Yima Village was attacked by Yehe tribe, and the two escaped from death. If the news could not be transmitted back to Zarkha Pass, the unprepared Zarkha Pass would be unimaginable once the Yehe tribe was captured.
While running, the Eight Banners soldier in front suddenly shrank his pupils, and then his head fell from mid-air. He died very quietly and silently. Until his body without his head fell from the horse, the Eight Banners soldier behind him was stunned. But before he could stop, a few arrows shot at him, and then fell from the horse.
Afterwards, dozens of figures rushed out of the forests on both sides. Two people walked to the Eight Banners soldiers who were caught in the arrow and held him tightly.
Xu Xianchun, who picked Jiannu's hair like his subordinates, walked to the edge of the wire wrapped around the two big trees, wiped away the blood from the wire with his hands, and then kicked the Jiannu's head who rolled down on the side to the side.
Not far away, Xu's subordinates were pressing the Eight Banners soldiers who were caught in the arrow. The Eight Banners soldiers knew that they would die even if they said it, so they gritted their teeth and kept silent.
"Are you stubborn?"
Xu Xianchun walked to the captured Eight Banners soldiers, looked at him, signaled his subordinates to take off the Eight Banners soldiers' pants, then took out the dagger and patted the Eight Banners soldiers' crotch.
The cold coldness and the expression on the faces of the Ming army who pretended to be the Eight Banners soldiers in front of them made the Eight Banners soldiers look tight.
He was frightened.
Because, he knew what the other party wanted to do.
He was not afraid of death, but the feeling of the thing being pressed against a dagger was even more terrifying than death.
He called it.
"Yehe's tribe did not disappoint his father-in-law at all."
Xu Xianchun stood up straight, and he was not interested in torture people who were scared. Moreover, he still liked such people very much.
"Stop the bleeding and bring him with you."
Xu Xianchun is a moral person. He can be cruel and ruthless to his enemies, but if the other party satisfies him, he will show mercy.
"Let's go, let's welcome Yehe's comrade!"
