Qi Jiguang took up his pen and wrote the word "war" and asked the question crisply.
"How to break out of this battle?"
Xiao Feng put aside all his emotions and looked at the word "war" intently. Various thoughts gradually emerged in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer. However, this time he hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"There is a single person with two mouths on the left side of the word 'War'. This is a sign of dispute. I am afraid that we will have a dispute when we break out. This is not a good sign. If this really happens, will you listen to my idea?"
Qi Jiguang was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said firmly,
"As a general, you should make decisions immediately and should not be controlled by others. But if Brother Xiao says it, as long as it does not endanger the lives of all soldiers, brothers will obey!"
Xiao Feng nodded and smiled: "Thank you for being a famous general! You also agreed with me in advance not to endanger the lives of all soldiers."
Qi Jiguang's face turned red: "If it is my brother's life, I can give it to Brother Xiao at any time, and I can die for Brother Xiao at any time, but how can Wuqian Paoze be put in danger because of a personal relationship."
Xiao Feng stared at his face and emphasized: "This is what you promised me. As long as the lives of all soldiers are not endangered or there is a dispute, you will listen to me in everything!"
Qi Jiguang felt that what he had just said was a bit harsh, and he was regretting it. When he heard this, he hurriedly expressed his position.
"I can swear that I will never regret it!"
Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, stopped talking to him, and continued to look at the word "war".
"There is a war on the right side of the word 'War', which is a sign of fighting. You can only rush out in this direction. There is a gap on the left side, and there is no soil under the field. After rushing out, rush outward along the soilless road. Do not rush towards inside."
Qi Jiguang was stunned: "You mean, after rushing out, rush along the mountain road towards Gubeikou instead of towards Miyun City? If the enemy sets up an ambush at Gubeikou, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?"
Xiao Feng put down the word apologetically: "The word test only knows that it is natural, but I don't know why. If you ask me, I can't tell you the reason. If you believe me, just do this."
Qi Jiguang thought for a long time and finally nodded: "I believe you."
Xiao Feng silently raised his head and looked at the dark sky: "Pigeon, it should have flown to Taiyuan City long ago, right?"
Qiu Luan was walking in the middle of the team, with the four guards Hu, Miao, Tian, and Fan on the left and behind. Each of them held a telescope and looked into the distance to ensure that Qiu Luan could retreat as soon as he discovered the enemy. Get to the very rear facing the enemy.
"Why do I always feel like I've been fooled?" Qiu Luan muttered to himself.
Three days ago, Hu Zongxian paid a sudden visit and told him that Xiao Feng had sent a message from Feige, asking him to join Qiu Luan and attack the Tatars outside Gubeikou.
Qiu Luan naturally refused, and he patted Hu Zongxian on the shoulder sincerely.
"Old Hu, we each defended Taiyuan and Datong. This is a meritorious service! If you go out to fight in the city, you will lose your life! Why does Xiao Feng think so?"
Hu Zongxian mysteriously told Qiu Luan that Xiao Feng took a test and found that there was a big advantage to be taken outside Gubeikou. This good thing cannot be taken advantage of by others, and he must take care of his own brothers.
Qiu Luan hesitated. He did trust Xiao Feng very much, but he cherished his own life even more. I heard that Gubeikou has been captured. If I go there now, wouldn't I be brave enough to brave mountains of swords and seas of fire?
"General Qiu, Brother Xiao said that Gubeikou was missed and Long Live was furious. Now the Tatars may follow the Miyun City line to kill Huairou, Tongzhou and even the capital at any time!
Guess, when the battle comes, who is the first person that Banzai will think of? "
Qiu Luan was stunned and said hesitantly: "Although Gubeikou also belongs to the Xuanda Defense Line, it has its own defenders. It is not the responsibility of my Datong General Soldier. It will not be blamed on me..."
Hu Zongxian took out a piece of paper with the imperial cabinet seal printed on it. Qiu Luan knew this thing, he was the official of the imperial court.
There were Di newspapers in the Ming Dynasty, which were for external use. Most of them were propaganda-type things that the court wanted the people to see. They would not be stamped with the cabinet seal, but with the seal of the department to which they belonged.
The court records are internal, and are actually equivalent to meeting minutes. That is to say, what happened during the court meeting was recorded by a special person in case the cabinet or the emperor forgot something.
Because court records are open and honest things, different from the emperor's personal daily records, relevant officials can also ask the cabinet to provide a copy for reference if necessary.
This is a transcript of the court records, recording the minutes of a meeting held in the court hall on a certain day.
Long live asked Xiao Feng, the scholar in Zhongshushe: ""What doubts does Xiaoshe have? "
Long live Xiao Fenghui, a member of Zhongshushe: "I have no doubts, but I just think that Datong is important and is the gateway to the capital. Now that General Qiu is guarding it, I am afraid that Anda Khan may not dare to attack Datong. Then he can only take a detour to fight. Gubeikou, if this is the case, I wonder how General Qiu should respond?"
Qiu Luan, the new commander-in-chief of Datong, replied: "Shi Ren is overly worried. If we attack Gubeikou, our troops will pass through Datong City. How can I not know this? I will naturally send troops to stop him. How can I let him go to Gubeikou?" "
Long live Dayue: "It is rare for Xiao Sheren to ask such a question on his first day in office. Qiu Luan answered fluently, and I am very pleased."
This court official was really conscientious and conscientious, and he had the hand speed of being single for twenty years. Not only did he record everyone's conversations verbatim, he was also able to write down "Long live the great joy"!
How happy I was at Long Live at the beginning, I'm afraid I will be very angry when I see this imperial note after being attacked by soldiers.
Xiao Feng reminded you when you first took office, but you had better boast, and in the end, you allowed the Tatars to run over from Datong and beat Gubeikou, right under my nose!
What sin is this? To put it mildly, it is incompetent; to put it more seriously, it is bullying! Do you choose to dismiss from office or to confiscate your property?
Qiu Luan jumped up immediately.
"Come here, order up the troops and horses, and reorganize them with the troops and horses brought by Mr. Hu. All the cavalry will go first, and half of the infantry will be selected to escort the grain and grass. The remaining infantry will stick to Datong!"
In this way, Hu Zongxian and Qiu Luan, with 15,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, rushed out of Datong and headed straight for Gubeikou.
Hearing Qiu Luan's muttering, Hu Zongxian smiled secretly in his heart, but his face still looked serious.
"General Qiu, Brother Xiao is profound in Taoism and has a deep friendship with his subordinates. He will never let Brother Qiu and I suffer.
To be honest, if it weren't for the deep friendship between Xiaguan and General Qiu, Brother Xiao might not have reminded General Qiu about the imperial record! "
Qiu Luan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly a voice came from the front asking: "Who is it?"
Qiu Luan jumped up like a frightened bird, stretched out his hand to draw his sword in panic, and the person in front shouted loudly:
"It's a scouting horse, Tatar cavalry is found ahead!"
Qiu Luan became even more nervous. The sword was hanging next to the saddle, and he couldn't hold it securely after holding it twice.
"How many...how many people!?"
"General, by visual inspection there are no more than three thousand cavalry, carrying a large number of slaves and carts. They should be a transport team escorting the spoils of war!"
Qiu Luan really jumped up this time.
"Are there any troops at the rear?"
"The scouting horse found nothing, at least there are no soldiers and horses within twenty miles!"
Qiu Luan glanced at Hu Zongxian and motioned for you to speak. Hu Zongxian nodded. Although he was a civil servant, he was more reliable in fighting than Qiu Luan.
"Send three thousand cavalry to advance quickly and cut off the route between the transport team and Gubeikou. If you find soldiers and horses coming from the direction of Gubeikou, fight them immediately, and Pegasus will report at the same time!"
"yes!"
"Send 5,000 cavalrymen and gallop around the front of the transport team to block the transport team's route into the grassland! If there are soldiers and horses coming from the direction of the grassland to help, they will fight immediately, and Pegasus will report at the same time!"
"yes!"
"The remaining cavalry, follow the position reported by the scout horse, speed up and meet the enemy before dark!"
"yes!"
"My fellow soldiers, what the transport team is escorting must be slaves and property plundered by the Tatars in the Gubeikou area. Please be careful not to kill slaves without horses when charging! After this battle, half of the property escorted will be used to reward the entire army!"
The army suddenly roared and its morale was greatly boosted. According to Hu Zongxian's arrangement, the army was encircled on three sides. 33
Qiu Luan originally nodded with satisfaction, but the last sentence made him feel distressed, and then he thought about it again.
"There's half left!"
Some people died, but not completely...
