"The new wind is getting colder, and the clouds are flying thousands of miles into the sky; the grass is turning yellow, and the horses are galloping to the place where hundreds of battles have been fought. Climb high and look long, and you can see the wildness and desolation like the south of the Yangtze River; look far from the tower, and drive the barbarians to the north of the desert. Although the captives and cavalry have arrived, the soldiers and the people Don’t be alarmed; when the heavenly soldiers are gone, how can the thieves be bothered? The wolf is placed in Xu, an old feat of the Huoqi in the past; the Lianbao pursues the murderer, but the new merits of the current Ma Zongrong. The holy king is bowing down, and the crowd is in full force..." [Wufeng Note: "Lianbao Chasing the Evil" refers to Ma Fang's great achievements in the Battle of Wanquan Youwei in the 45th year of Jiajing. The place is called Malianbao. ]
"Gao Shidu, my Gao Shidu, you are so elegant!" Huang Mengyu hurried over with a bunch of brightly-armored generals. He saw Gao Pragmatic standing on the tower of Desheng Fort, looking at him from a distance. The Tumochuan army camp, which stretches for more than ten miles to the north of the outer wall of the fort, is still writing poems in a happy mood. I am really anxious and angry.
Seeing that Gao Pangshi had stopped talking and looked back after hearing the words, he quickly stepped forward with an anxious look on his face, and said to the deputy imperial envoy who did not know whether to live or die: "Gao Shidu, I answer that the chieftain's hundred thousand cavalry are pressing down on the border. Although this Desheng Fort last year After fortifying it, it is still relatively strong, but after all, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in the fort. Why do you think you have to come to such a ghost place with your status? If you are really worried, just ask me, Old Huang, to guard it. , I, Old Huang, are guarding Datong, so even if I die here, I will die well..."
"Huang Zhen is loyal and loyal. This imperial envoy will definitely tell His Majesty and His Highness." Gao Pingshi smiled: "However, in order to cooperate with Duke Jianchuan's strategy and Ma Zongrong's decision-making, this Desheng Fort must have a good card. Only with a face-to-face personage can we attract the thieves chief and not abandon the siege. Although Huang Zhenshou has a high position and a high position, after all, he is not as good as me in having the title of imperial envoy. This matter of luring the enemy in Desheng Fort is more secure if I do it myself."
"I, Old Huang, understand all the principles. It's just that the war is fierce and dangerous. If you have any shortcomings, I, Old Huang..." Huang Mengyu's face has completely turned into the look of a bitter gourd. There is no need to say the next words. The implication is nothing more. If something goes wrong with you, Gao Shidu, Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi are civil servants, so their heads will probably be fine. Although Ma Fang is a military minister, his many years of achievements are there, and there seems to be no one in the Northern Army who can do it. The person who replaces him is probably unlikely to lose his life.
But I, Lao Huang, am different! After all, I, Lao Huang, am just a servant of the emperor. As for you, you are not only the nephew of Mr. Gao Ge and the companion of His Highness the Crown Prince, but now you even hold the title of imperial envoy. If something happens to you here, what will happen to me, Lao Huang? It’s really impossible to save your head!
In front of the generals and officers who were sneaking behind Huang Mengyu, Gao Pragmatic naturally couldn't say that his personal safety would not be a problem since all the 800 cavalrymen in Shanxi were gathered in Desheng Fort.
These words are really Gao's pragmatic words. You must know that although the main force of Anda in front of Desheng Fort is at least 50,000 or 60,000, Desheng Fort is at the border of the Great Wall and will not be surrounded by Anda. If there is really any disharmony. , these eight hundred cavalrymen with two horses can save themselves and escape no matter what.
Gao Shidu may be one of the more shameful time travellers. He has no confidence in his serious art of war command, and the current situation is unprecedented in history, so he has since volunteered to take over the task of luring the enemy. , 90% of the preparations made were how to run away if things went wrong, and there was no ambition for the travelers to turn the tide and kill everyone.
However, the excuse Gao Shidu gave himself was quite sufficient: I am an administrative staff member, so there is nothing wrong with me doing some of Xiao He's business. You can't expect me to take over Han Xin's work too! If I had that ability, wouldn't it be wrong to go to the wrong set if I traveled through time to the turn of Longwan? I have to go to Chongzhen Dynasty to suppress the bandits and destroy Hou Jin!
Although Gao Shidu had played many strategy games in the past, and "commanding operations" seemed to be okay, he knew that a game is a game after all, and even if he loses the game, it is nothing more than "Heroes, please start over again", but it is serious. It's different when leading troops to fight. If one person doesn't do it right, they will really lose their lives!
Who knows whether he is Huo Qubing or Zhao Kuo?
Even if you want to find an opportunity to give yourself a "test", it can't be a situation like 3,000 versus 60,000, right? In such a scene, characters like Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang are more suitable to appear. He, Gao Shidu, will not join in the fun. It is only right to take precautions just in case.
Then again, if the escape plan hadn't been studied over and over by Gao Shidu and felt that it was absolutely foolproof, how could he dare to come to the tower to show off and make a fuss?
Of course, although his escape plan was fully prepared, he was not here to escape after all, so he still had to get down to business. It's just that Gao Shidu, the deputy imperial envoy, was originally here to observe the government and had no power to interfere in military affairs, so at this moment he couldn't assign the defenders to do this or that. He just smiled and changed the subject: "Huang Zhenshou, Ma Shenjiang, Is the defense of Fort Desheng fully prepared now?"
Although Huang Zhenshou did a good job at his job, after all, supervising the army was his job, not leading the troops in combat. So when Gao Pragmatic asked him, he just turned around and looked at the General Ma that Gao Pragmatic was talking about. .
General Ma Wei is General Ma Wei who guards North East Road in Datong. He is a typical Mongolian Ming Dynasty border general with a round face, big shoulders, round waist and a little bow legs.
However, I need to explain here that many of the generals in ancient China seem to have the characteristic of "round waists" from the records. Even the statues erected by the people do not show any of the so-called "ape-like arms and wasp-waisted" handsome men. When you see a "round waist", you think you are fat, but it is not the case.
The waist circle here is just a simple shape description, not a description of body characteristics. In other words, this person's waist looks very powerful. According to the wishes of later generations of Jeet Kune Do master Long Ge, when practicing martial arts, waist strength must be sufficient. No matter how good a person's stance is, and how strong other parts are, if the waist strength is insufficient, it is all for show. The waist must be " "Horse unites as one" is the right path.
According to Gao Pingshi's opinion, both Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang and Ma Wei, Ma Fang's adopted son, Ma Wei, all have this characteristic - their waists are round and not cumbersome, just like pillars in a palace.
Liang Zhu, oh no, General Ma Shen saw that Imperial Envoy Gao and Guard Huang were looking at him at the same time. He stepped forward unhurriedly, cupped his hands towards them and said, "Go back to Imperial Envoy and guard. Although Fort Desheng has few troops, Almost all of them were veterans. Although it was impossible to go out to kill the thieves, it was safe to hold on to the city. What's more, after Duke Wang Jianchuan learned that Han Naji had been asked to surrender, he immediately sent a large amount of materials to defend the city and mobilized We have received a batch of food and reward money, and now the commander-in-chief only asks us to stick to it, so I will think that we will be safe."
