Li Daoxuan silently watched the Gao family villagers prepare for battle in the sky.
Cheng Xu had done a good job in preparing for the war, and Li Daoxuan found that there was no need for him to interfere too much, and he could just leave it to him.
We should still focus our attention on the county town. We can get faster news through Liang Shixian and Fang Wushang.
He stretched out his hand and jumped on the words "Chengcheng County" on the box. His perspective flickered and he jumped to the county seat again.
As soon as I jumped back, I saw an interesting scene.
A Ming army unit is entering the county.
This Ming army was quite large in number, with a full thousand men, all of whom were regular soldiers. They wore the Ming army's iconic cloth armor, and many soldiers carried small bows on their backs.
Liang Shixian and Fang Wushang immediately stepped forward to greet him.
After listening to their greetings for a while, Li Daoxuan recognized that the person coming was "guerrilla general Li Ying."
Guerrilla generals are "miscellaneous generals". They are not formally established and have no fixed grade. Basically, they are temporary appointments to deal with some emergencies.
Li Dao
Of course, even if he does not have a fixed rank, his status is generally below that of a general, and he can be roughly regarded as a "third-rank" military attaché. For the seventh-rank county magistrate Liang Shixian and the ninth-rank inspector Fang Wushang, it is already considered a big deal. The official.
Li Ying looked as arrogant as a high-ranking official: "I have been ordered by the governor to lead the army to quell the Guyuan rebels. I am passing through Chengcheng County and want to rest here for a night. What good food and drinks do you have here? Take them all out, these thousand soldiers under my command are going to suppress the bandits, don't let them starve."
Liang Shixian: "Three years of severe drought, coupled with Baishui Wang Erzuo's robbery of the county's granary, there is no food in the Chengcheng County treasury. Please forgive me for not being able to provide military rations for you."
A flash of anger flashed across Li Ying's face.
He cursed secretly in his heart: Civil servants are fucking awesome, a little county magistrate, so arrogant.
Just as he was about to get angry, Fang Wushang next to him suddenly said: "General Li, I have something unclear about you. I would like to ask the general for advice."
Li Ying: "You ask.
Fang Wushang said: "The Guyuan rebels are heading to Xi'an from Guyuan. If General Li wants to fight the rebels, he should go north via Jingyang or Fuping counties. Why did he lead his army to Chengcheng County? Could it be that General Li deliberately avoided it? No fight? Just come out with your men and show off and show off to the governor?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Ying was furious: "Bold!
Li Daoxuan in the sky heard a "Huh" sound, and secretly shouted in his heart: You are supreme, you are indeed a fierce general. In this case, you dare to ask directly?
In fact, Liang Shixian had the same thoughts as Li Daoxuan. He was a civil servant and didn't know much about strategy. He didn't understand it at first, but Liang Shixian understood Fang Wushang's words and couldn't help but secretly praise Fang Wushang. Come on, you are so good at patrolling. Do you really dare to come on? If I had thought of this, I would have to think about it in my mind first and consider whether I should say it out loud.
This man is brave and reckless!
At this moment, everyone present was thinking so.
Li Ying's face was extremely ugly. On the one hand, it was because he was contradicted by the ninth-grade military attaché.
look. The second aspect is that he was right by Fang Wushang.
The thousand soldiers under his command may look very powerful, but in fact they are all very ordinary guardsmen. They are usually used to suppress bandits, but if they are used to deal with the border troops, they will not die. Know.
Li Ying was a little weak and wanted to avoid the battle.
So after receiving the order from Governor Hu Tingyan, he took the thousand soldiers in a circle, avoiding Jingyang County and Fuping County, and went around to Chengcheng County.
This place deviates from the most likely route of the rebels, which can effectively avoid fighting. At the same time, it is not far from that road. If the rebels are not strong, or something else happens, he will have time to rush to the battlefield to deal with the rebels. .
It can be said that you can advance and attack, and retreat and escape. It is simply an excellent place.
It was a beautiful idea, but when Fang Wushang said it out loud, of course he would become angry.
"How dare you, a ninth-grade patrol inspector, fart in front of me?" Li Ying was furious: "You, a small patrol inspector, know nothing about my general's magical calculations and military formation strategies."
Fang Wushang's neck stiffened, and he raised his head and said, "Then I will venture to continue asking, what is General Li's strategy? Is it to flee eastward when the rebels are strong? When the rebels are weak, flee to the east." Marching west? Chengcheng County is really a convenient place to advance and retreat."
Li Ying was furious and put one hand on the handle of the knife: "That's unreasonable! Who the hell are you hanging out with?
Fang Wushang still stiffened his neck: "No one will...
Liang Shixian next to him suddenly felt something.
Something's wrong!
There's something wrong with Li Ying's tone of voice. I have to think about it carefully.
Liang Shixian, who has learned a lot, immediately turned on the favor accident mode in his mind. Li Ying's expression, his emotion when he asked, his hand on the handle of the knife, and the possible consequences of his question.
Fruit... was spinning in my mind like a revolving lantern, and suddenly it clicked on a possibility.
Li Ying was about to take action. His question was to find out Fang Wushang's background. If Fang Wushang's background wasn't strong, Li Ying would kill him on the spot.
This long string of thoughts only occurred in a flash of lightning. When he thought of the answer, Fang Wushang had not finished saying "The last general will not follow anyone." He still had to say the last two words.
Liang Shixian coughed decisively, interrupted Fang Wushang's words, and rushed to say: "General Fang is my friend. We attended lectures at Donglin Academy together. The bachelors in the academy all admired General Fang's ability. ...
Li Ying made a sound, and moved her hand away from the handle of the knife.
He cursed in his heart: Damn it, no wonder this guy speaks so rudely, Donglin is a mad dog, I can’t afford to offend him. It’s so fucking weird, how did this little ninth-grade inspection officer get into the hands of the Donglin Party?
However, when he thought about it again, he realized that although the position of patrol inspector was a ninth-grade military attache, it actually belonged to the civil service system. This matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words.
Li Ying snorted and thought: Forget it, this county is not easy to treat, there are two Donglin mad dogs, I will not be happy doing anything here, maybe they will take a copy of it and get it all over my crotch. yellow mud
"Okay! You guys are cruel." Li Ying snorted, turned his horse's head, and said to the deputy general behind him: "Let's go and clean up the rebels. Don't waste time here. The idiots here are talking nonsense, which will only destroy the general's A brilliant plan."
When Li Daoxuan saw this, he couldn't help but marveled: It's interesting. Liang Shixian and Fang Wushang, a pair of talented people, actually joined forces for once. Officialdom is really interesting.
