Chapter 61 Turn anger into joy
And in the New Year, Xiao Tianjian received the news that Gao Qiqian led his troops to intercept the people who were escorting the south in Zhanghe River. Immediately, he was furious and scolded Gao Qiqian, the castrate. However, on second thought, this matter should not be so simple. Gao Qiqian is not the kind of belligerent. The man in the war, if he is himself, after learning the power of Xing Tianjun, he should not take the initiative to seek to fight with Xing Tianjun. If this man does this, he must be instigated by the current emperor Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang, which is the decision made by the court.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tianjian was so angry that he couldn't help cursing the current emperors Zhu Youjian and Yang Sichang.
Yang Lukai heard Xiao Tianjian's scolding and also learned the news. He said to Xiao Tianjian carefreely, "I'm afraid this matter should be as the marshal thought. It's the saint today... No, it was the decision made by the man in the court today. Now more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of Chen Xinjia are in Zhending Mansion. And to the south of us are the people and horses that have high potential, and there are many slave soldiers around us. If the court is in trouble with the general, I'm afraid it will..."
Xiao Tianjian raised his hand angrily to stop Yang Lukai's words and shouted, "I'm not afraid!" Whoever comes, just let them come here! I just catch it! Let's see how capable they are. What can I do?
At this time, Li Xin also got the news. He hurried over and said to Xiao Tianjian, "Marshal! Otherwise, let's go back to the teacher! Or send some reinforcements to support Deputy Diao as soon as possible! After all, this time, Gao Qiqian led 20,000 troops south to intercept them. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with them with the troops!"
Xiao Tianjian was also a little nervous at this time. This news was passed from the details of Shunde Mansion to the scouts. When the scouts brought the news back, Gao Qiqian was leading his troops south to rush to Changde Mansion. Twenty thousand Guan Ningjun against the two or three thousand criminal Tianjun. Although Diao Zheng was a fierce general and witty, after all, the number of troops were too different. If it doesn't work out, tens of thousands of people will have all kinds of rare materials, and I'm afraid they will not be guaranteed! And this time, these materials taken from the hands of the Tartan are also extremely important for his Xing Tianjun. Among them, there is not only a lot of money, but also the important thing is the grain, livestock, armor and other things. This is extremely important for the strategy of Xing Tianjun in the next year. Once there is a loss, I'm afraid I want to get so much more. It's not easy.
So after thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered Situ Liang to lead the cavalry battalion to catch up with Diao Zheng day and night, and help Diao Zheng escort these people and supplies back to the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army.
And he himself ordered the rest of the department to temporarily give up tracking the main force of the Tarot, and began to move south to Shundefu to see if he could catch up with this battle. He was not the kind of rigid person. This time, although he came to fight Tarots and did not want to fight with the court officials and soldiers, it did not mean that he was afraid of the court. Since the court has made such an immoral decision, it is impolite to come and go, and he doesn't care about cleaning up the officers and soldiers because of this matter. However, he also knows that it is obviously a little too long to catch up with the teams led by Diao Zheng from where he is now. However, after discussing with Li Xin, he thinks that their reality is Li, if once the officers and soldiers in all aspects of the imperial court collectively attack them, and the Taar's Dornon is also an extremely smart person and should be able to judge the situation soon. In that case, the Ta's protection may not take the opportunity to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to attack them. If he is not careful, the more than 10,000 soldiers led by him may fall into a catastrophe. The land of no return.
So he can't take this risk with these soldiers at the time. Although it is important to fight the Taran, it is also carried out with a certain guarantee of self- protection. He has already done what should be done, and the Zhu Youjian in the court is not merciful. Now he is still doing small behind his back. Action, it's too unnatural to take the opportunity to seize the benefits of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army in exchange for their lives. Xiao Tianjian is not a person who likes to suffer secret losses and not return. What's more, he has arrogant capital. Why should he suffer this loss?
It's okay if Diao Zheng can return to the control area of the Xingtian Army smoothly this time, but if Diao Zheng's troops are blocked by high potential troops, rob those people's materials, and kill and injuring a large number of Xingtian army officers, then this matter will never be stopped. He will definitely ask the government and the court to pay more than ten times the price for this. Let them know what the consequences of annoying him are!
Therefore, after Xiao Tianjian was dispatched, Situ Liang, as an advance army, immediately led most of the cavalry to chase Diao Zheng first, while Xiao Tianjian himself led him and drove in the direction of Shunde Mansion. On the one hand, he avoided the dangerous area in the center of Jingfu, and on the other hand, he was close to the official army guarding Shunde Mansion. Once the news came from Diao Zheng that Xing Tianjun had suffered a loss, he was not polite. He directly took the officers and soldiers in Shunde Prefecture first, and then let's talk about it by color.
However, before Xiao Tianjian led the army to return to Shunde Mansion, Situ Liang, who had previously led his troops to leave, turned around and rushed back, merged with Xiao Tianjian's troops in a place, and brought back a piece of news to Xiao Tianjian that made everyone a little stunned. He led 20,000 troops in Zhanghe at the junction of Zhangdefu and Guangpingfu. Bian blocked Diao Zheng, but he not only failed to intercept Diao Zheng and tens of thousands of people. On the contrary, he was beaten by Diao Zheng and fled, and countless armors were captured. Dozens of Hongyi cannons and all kinds of large and medium-sized French cannons were captured.
This news immediately shocked everyone. Although everyone knows more or less about Diao Zheng's skills, and also knows that Xingtian's soldiers are brave and sharp in tactics, this time Diao Zheng only brought two or three thousand soldiers and horses, and has to shoulder the burden of escorting nearly 100,000 people, facing more than several times his officers and soldiers. At that time, while he could not give up the people, he had to lead the soldiers to engage with the officers and soldiers.
Even if Diao Zheng has a large number of self-made fires, he is still at an absolute disadvantage compared with the officers and soldiers in terms of long-range firepower. How can he achieve such a small force, which not only saves a large number of people, but also defeats the enemy?
After hearing the news, Xiao Tianjian, even when he recruited the riders sent by Diao Zheng into the account, he carefully asked about the details of the battle between Diao Zheng and the high-level officers and soldiers.
Several Diao Zheng's subordinates who had just won the battle were all in high-spirited faces. In the account, they told Xiao Tianjian and the generals about the generals of the battle. Most of these people were old and coarse, but one of them was a child soldier, literate and had read several books, and the narrative was also It is relatively organized. Through the complementation of several horses, Xiao Tianjian and the generals have roughly figured out the situation of Diao fighting with the officers and troops by the Zhang River this time.
(Today, thank you for the reward of two friends! Let me explain that the cold wind recently participated in an activity and needs to prepare a large number of manuscripts, so try to save some manuscripts every day, so there will be less updates, but this is also for a bigger outbreak, and it will definitely surprise everyone at that time!)
