Chapter 220 Friendship
Bijie had already been severely attacked by Sun Jie once, but because of Zhang Heming, he returned in a hurry without success, giving An Bangyan a chance to make a comeback. At this moment, he was once again occupied by the Shuixi Allied Forces. Most of the main force of Anbu gathered here, numbering as many as 60,000 to 70,000 people. The situation of the Chishui Guards was similar. After Luo Qianxiang retreated, She Chongming gathered the remaining troops, built walls, dug ditches, and built many new fortresses, and formed a back-to-back mutual support with An Bangyan.
Although Zhang Heming took the official position of Governor of Sichuan and Guizhou, he still stayed in Chengdu and did not leave the city. At the same time, he quietly tightened the restraint on Sun Jie. Mr. Zhang knew it well: with the great victory when Sun Jie and Luo Qianxiang jointly attacked She'an Erni, oh no, it was two great victories! The court will definitely be able to explain it. Now that most of She Chongming's threats to Yongning have been eliminated, it's time to stop when things get better - otherwise, the war will be dangerous, and if the thieves take advantage of it, Lord Zhang will suffer a big loss!
The reason why Zhang Heming is like this is not only due to his personality, but also due to the underlying system architecture of Ming Dynasty. Regardless of the official titles of manager, general manager, supervisor, or governor, they may sound majestic, but they are actually temporary assignments. Zhang Heming's original position is the governor of Sichuan, and Guizhou itself also has a governor, and now it is Wang Ershan. If the two rebellions of She'an and She'an are completely eliminated in the future, Master Zhang's dispatch of military affairs in the two provinces will be handed over to the imperial court. He himself will either return to Beijing to find another job, or continue to Fuchuan; as for Guizhou, it is still Guizhou and Fu that have the final say. It has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang!
After understanding this level of stakes, it is not difficult to decide how to deal with it: with the title of governor, as long as there is no problem in the province, he can pass the mission. As for Guizhou, send a few official documents, telling Qian Fu "not to be greedy for credit and advance too hastily." , "It is also necessary to stand up and be angry", and just add a few words "to fight with all our strength" and "to repay God's kindness to the common people". If you win, it's because of the Governor's command. If you lose, you deserve your own misfortune - I have clearly warned you, but you just didn't listen. Do you blame me?
So now it is difficult for Sun Jie to even "hunt". Of course, with Master Zhang's situation, it is impossible to say clearly that it is not possible. On the contrary, the boss will write a poem to Sun Shuai from time to time to praise the tiger and leopard skins he gave. If you take a hundred or ten personal guards into the mountain, the boss will definitely ignore you, but don't think about taking an entire battalion out again! During this period, She Chongming and An Bangyan would occasionally send small troops to harass Sichuan Province, stealing outposts and intercepting food teams. Zhang Heming was a little scared at first, thinking that the thieves were coming back again, so he hurriedly asked Sun Jie to organize his army to fight. Sun Jie knew that the enemy was being harassed by a small force based on the time, location, and losses of the attack, but he also held on to a glimmer of hope and imagined that he could block the main force of the thieves in a decisive battle in the mountains like a blind cat killing a mouse, but he ran away in vain. I made several trips and found nothing. When Master Zhang realized that the thieves were just a nuisance, he stopped Sun Jie from leading his army out, and the main force of Sun's tribe was pinned down near Chengdu Mansion. Sun Jie was not a fool, and there was no way he could break up with Zhang Heming and go it alone. Zhu Xieyuan would occasionally ask someone to send him a private letter, and he would give serious warnings both inside and outside, so Sun Jie could only suppress his temper and be honest. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I took Sheng De Gong Shi Er Lei and several others into the mountains to ambush them, and more or less behead them. The three-day mosquito-feeding ambush mentioned earlier is an example.
Wang Ershan settled down safely in Dafang. The current situation is excellent: An Bangyan and She Chongming are suppressed in a corner of northeastern Guizhou, huddled in the small areas of Bijiewei, Chishuiwei and Pushisuo, which are only the size of a palm. Judging from the map, more than 80% of the places in Guizhou Province have been "recovered" by the army. Of course, the most important point has been ignored intentionally or unintentionally: the chieftains in many of these places are either still with their clan members. With An Bangyan, even those who returned to their hometowns and "repented" may not really be of the same mind as the imperial court!
Of course, the court would not care about these embarrassing things. Whether it was the Holy Emperor or the officials in the court, they were very satisfied with the map marked by the Governor of Sichuan and Guizhou and the strategy for defeating the thieves: Sichuan Province is an anvil, the Guizhou army is a hammer, and a thunder blow , Isn't it true that the two revolts are like a mantis's arm acting as a chariot, and how can An De become a piece of cake?
Lord Zhang Heming's wishful thinking worked out well: You Wang Ershan and An Nishe are going to fight. Anyway, the Sichuan provincial government and army are "immovable as a mountain." If you defeat the two rebels, it will be easy to ask Sun Jie to wipe out the remaining thieves. This is all thanks to the governor's strategizing and decisive victory over Qianli. What if you are defeated by the thieves... Haha, such a clever plan was ruined by a useless guy like you. In my hand, I'm sorry, I won't bear this responsibility!
Of course Wang Ershan wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and achieve great success in one battle. However, how is it possible?
Huang Yunqing, his "best friend" who was "defending the enemy" side by side, died in the chaos. Of course Zhang Fang was a little sad, but he didn't feel sad for long. Marshal Zhang looked up at the green mountains in the distance and his sadness turned to joy again - no one was with him Grab it, those hills are all named Zhang! However, this joy did not last long, because Wang Fuzun's order came down: Ask Marshal Zhang to lead a long-distance attack on Chishui Guards where the extravagant thieves are entrenched!
What a joke!
That extravagant thief is so powerful, is he an ordinary person? Speaking far away, they killed officials and rebelled in the Chongqing school field, and then fought all the way to Chengdu Prefecture. Even the King of Shu, Qiansui, almost fell into his hands. And speaking more closely, in the battle of Yanglong Pit, the Yongning Army was able to defeat Marshal Zhang's tiger and wolf army. I was scared to my bones - in fact, it was the Shuixi Army who arrived on the battlefield first, but She Chongming was the leading commander! Besides, Marshal Zhang fled immediately before the thief came forward, so he recorded this account on She Chongming's head. Taking the initiative to provoke the extravagant thief who is known for his toughness, doesn't this mean that Marshal Zhang is looking for his own death? If you don't go, you won't be able to go even if you die!
But even if Zhang Fang had the courage to do so, he wouldn't dare to say no to Mr. Wang directly. He needs to find a good helper to work together to help Wang Fuzun. Fortunately, Dashuai Zhang made a new friend: Xie Zhongren.
If you don't fight, you won't know each other. Deputy Marshal Xie lured An Xiaoliang to Xiongsuo Zexi River, and ordered the troops to send out troops. Zhang Fang, who had forgotten to read the almanac, received a fat beating for no reason. Logically speaking, these two people should never become friends. But Wang Ershan also ordered Xie Zhongren to fight Bijie! It was better now, they felt sympathy for each other and cherished each other. At the military meeting, the two commanders saw the spark of friendship in each other's eyes.
What follows is a simple routine: after the military meeting is over, Deputy Commander Jie takes the initiative to apologize to Marshal Zhang. Marshal Zhang is such an open and bright person, how can he make Deputy Commander Xie unable to take the stage? Without saying a word, I asked Deputy Commander Xie to find a place to have a big drink. At this time, Chen Qiyu, the newly recruited An Nijiang general, came over shamelessly and said, "Originally, the two commanders didn't want to talk to this guy - you were fighting with me yesterday, and besides, you're just a guy Is the barbarian general worthy of sitting with us? Unexpectedly, this guy not only patted his chest and said that he would buy the wine, but also found an excellent place for the two marshals that no one else knew about, making sure that they were "satisfied" and talking in a way that all men know. The expression squeezed the small eyes that were deeply sunk under the brow bone, and his hands made a virtual gesture that made the two handsome men's hearts beat...
Gotta go!
Chen Shen led the two marshals into a remote alley in Dafang City and knocked three times on a closed courtyard door. The person who answered the door was an old woman. She saw several officers and retinues. She showed neither fear nor panic. She bowed hastily and didn't even say anything. She made a gesture of greeting and turned around to walk inside. Chen Qiyu smiled and waved his hand to stop the two of them who were about to have a fit. He took out two twelve large ingots and handed them to the captain of the second commander's bodyguard, asking them to take the brothers to find a place to have a drink. At this time, both of them vaguely understood something, so they both nodded in agreement and sent the guards away to follow General Chen Shen into the courtyard gate.
After entering the main hall, a boy came over to help the three of them take off their leather armor - Dafang City was firmly in the hands of the Ming army, and there was no need to wear a suit of iron weighing dozens of kilograms - and then they brought three basins of clean water for everyone to cleanse their faces. handwashing. After the three of them sat down to serve the fragrant tea, Commander Zhang Jie looked at each other, gave General Chen Shen a knowing smile, and said in unison: "It's a bit interesting..."
You can't tell, but this yard is quite deep. There was the sound of silk and bamboo in the backyard, followed by a jingle of rings. More than a dozen women came in, bowed to the three of them, and stood in a row with their heads bowed. Upon closer inspection, the women were all dressed up in Chinese and Miao attire. Although they were not of national beauty or beauty, for a few military men, these beauties were enough to make them squirm on their chairs and unable to sit still.
Chen Qiyu leaned forward and whispered to the two of them: "Two marshals, just give me orders for whichever one you like. If it's hard to choose, I'll stay together and have a drink with you later. Then...hehe, although it's military affairs It’s busy, but not too busy right now. There are a few reasonably clean guest rooms in the backyard. It’s not too late to go back to camp after a rest, right?”
Zhang Fang slapped Chen Qiyu hard on the shoulder, laughed loudly and said, "Brother Chen, I really belong to you!"
Xie Zhongren smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes: "Brother Chen, how did you find such a good place?"
Chen Qiyu smiled and said: "The general is a local, and I don't dare to deceive the two commanders. I also opened this place with a few friends. I think I am half the owner."
Zhang Fang was startled, then feigned anger and said, "Old Chen, what are you talking about!"
Chen Qiyu was startled, but fortunately Xie Zhongren said: "That's right! The men in our army talk about loyalty and straightforwardness. What kind of low-ranking generals are you treating us as outsiders? We are all good brothers! Hahahaha. "
The sky was almost completely dark, and the three of them had just left the alley and returned to their camps. From then on, Commander Zhang Jie naturally became a close friend, and formed an unbreakable friendship with General Chen Shen. Needless to say, they had such a tacit understanding about sending out troops to suppress rebellion: I will speak for you when you need to replenish military supplies in April, and you will bear witness for me when there is a plague in my camp in May. During this period, although Chen Qiyu was in the way, General Yu Jiang's identity cannot be revealed, but when everyone usually discusses countermeasures in his small courtyard, they often come up with all kinds of good-sounding ideas - for example, look at the clouds on the horizon and say something. There is a heavy rain, and if the flood dam in a certain place is damaged, the water will surge, and it will not be able to survive for ten days and a half... Well, then you can see the marshal's auxiliary troops leaving the city carrying hoes. Got it!
If just a few military leaders passively avoid the battle, they will not be able to stay in the dark for too long. Sooner or later, Wang Ershan will make up his mind to fight them hard. But another major event delayed Mr. Wang’s life for a full year!
Change the soil and return to the current.
