Chapter 104 Victory
"Has Li Xin been ambushed a long time ago? When both sides fought fiercely and were exhausted, they would only attack and give the fisherman a chance?" Zhang Chun on the side admired Shi Yuanzhi's wonderful ideas, but at this moment the old man looked beautiful. He looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance coldly. At this moment, he could clearly foresee that Li Xin was about to win.
"Haha, the old man is joking. My lord was originally coming to help the court, how could he become a fisherman?" Shi Yuan said with a smile: "Look, in order to help the court, my lord used all his people who could use it. He was here hundreds of miles away, and in order to confuse Gulusiqibu, he made hundreds of old men pretend to be thousands of troops? Why did the old man say so?"
"Hmph, you can stop talking too. If Li Xin had the intention to serve the country, he should have defeated Jiannu with me. If he had come a while ago, how could this be the case?" Zhang Chunren was old but his heart was not old. The politician and military strategist suddenly saw the mystery and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Looking at Li Xin's ambition, I'm afraid I just want to get benefits in this battle!"
"The old man said this, the students didn't like to listen to it." Shi Yuan couldn't help but be angry, pointing to the battlefield and said, "The old man has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How powerful is the Guanning Iron Cavalry? But when facing Jiannu, he still fled in a panic. How long has it been? If my lord was with such a comrade, he would probably not even know that he would sell it. The old man is the governor of the three armed forces, but now? Just General He led a dozen people to guard the old man, where did the other generals go? Wu Xiang, Song Wei, and even Zu Dashou disappeared without a trace. How could such a person be my lord's comrade?"
Shi Yuanzhi said nothing sadly, just as Shi Yuanzhi said, although he was a military supervisor and held tens of thousands of troops, unfortunately, these generals did not listen to their greetings at all.
"Hey!" Zhang Chun sighed deeply and said, "I don't know what you are going to do to us now? Are you going to kill me? Or something else, hum, don't think about me surrendering. I am a member of the Ming Dynasty, and death is a ghost of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for me to surrender." Zhang Chunyi said righteously. He was very stance that if you want to persuade him to surrender, he would die.
"Haha, my lord's decision is the final decision of how to deal with the elders." Shi Yuanzhi laughed, but he didn't take Zhang Chun's words to heart. A mere Zhang Chun, whether he surrendered or committed suicide, could not affect Shi Yuanzhi's mood at this moment. From birth to now, it has probably not been as exciting as today. He thought he would have been a man of coat slave in the future. If he is lucky, he would hide in Jiangnan, but today it is different. Following Li Xin, there are constant wars, but he has never failed. Today is even more different. Li Xin used Liaodong as the chessboard and Jiannu and Ming army as chess pieces, and he was placing both in the battlefield. After this battle, only Li Xin could whip up the entire Liaodong immediately. What a merit, and no one can compare to others.
"General He, you lead 500 cavalry to gather people and horses. Whether it is the fleeing imperial army or the defeated and surrendered Han Eight Banners soldiers, they will kill all the Jiannu soldiers." Shi Yuanzhi thought of this and quickly said to He Kegang.
"The last general will take the order." He Kegang was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly realized that he quickly bowed like Shi Yuan. Not to mention that He Kegang had no choice at this time, more importantly, according to He Bin's explanation, Shi Yuanzhi played the role of military advisor in Li Xin's army. He Kegang naturally had to listen to his words, which could be regarded as a letter of fame!
"He Kegang, you?" Zhang Chun heard that He Kegang actually obeyed Shi Yuanzhi's orders, and his face showed surprise and angry eyes. Who is He Kegang? He is the deputy general of Guanning Army and has a high rank in the court. In fact, even Zhang Chun's rank is not as high as him. He was just a high literati in the Ming Dynasty, so Zhang Chun could order He Kegang and others, but at this moment, He Kegang actually obeyed Shi Yuanzhi's orders, which made Zhang Chun very uncomfortable and even more angry.
"General He, I'm going to bother you now." Shi Yuanzhi ignored Zhang Chun's anger and bowed to He Kegang. He Kegang was originally extremely ashamed, but when he saw Shi Yuanzhi's appearance, his heart suddenly felt much better. He nodded to him and led Shi Yuanzhi's subordinates to gather the defeated soldiers without mentioning them.
"Do you know why General He is like this?" Shi Yuanzhi saw that Zhang Chun was still angry on his face and asked with a smile.
"It's just that I saw you being powerful, so I turned to you. I, Zhang Chun, disdained to be with you, such a shameless person." Zhang Chun said viciously. He Bin's face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Haha, this is a bad word for the elders." Shi Yuanzhi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "The so-called good birds choose trees to live on, what a person is General He? How could he surrender to our army because of our strong power? It was really incompetent in the court. In desperation, General He joined our army."
"Hmph, it's nonsense. How can you say that the Holy Emperor is in power now? " Zhang Chun's white beard trembled with anger, and the old eyes showed anger, and he looked at Shi Yuan and said.
"I'm afraid the old general himself doesn't believe this!" Shi Yuanzhi said disdainfully: "What do you think my lord? The court has millions of troops, and cannot suppress civil unrest inside, and cannot resist Jiannu. Over the years, Jiannu has repeatedly entered the pass and plundered the population of our Central Plains. What achievements has the imperial army achieved in this regard? But they won, or they fled in a panic. My lord defeated Jiannu repeatedly with hundreds of troops, and was regarded as a major concern by Jiannu Hongtai. This time he was beaten even more.
Jiannu fled in a panic. It can be imagined that after the war, Jiannu did not dare to invade the south for ten years. Hehe, what about my lord? But such a person could only wander around the world. When he killed Jiannu Ajige, such a merit was not only replaced by others, but the court did not have any praise for him. He just pardoned him for his crime. What is the crime of my lord? He actually needs the court to pardon? Such a thing is so ridiculous. What do you think?”
Zhang Chun was silent when he heard this. He could not refute this, nor could he refute it. If the court was far from Liaodong, he did not know what was happening here, but Zhang Chun himself was in Liaodong. Zhang Chun understood everything that happened here. To be honest, he felt worthless and regretful for Li Xin. However, he was deeply influenced by Confucianism. In his thoughts, thunder, rain and dew were both kindness. Li Xin recruited soldiers and made peace with Jiannu in private, and led his troops away without authorization. This was already contrary to Zhang Chun's bottom line, so he disdained Li Xin.
"This battle is over." Shi Yuanzhi ignored Zhang Chun on the side, but looked around. Li Xin led the army to pursue Jiannu. There was only a whine left on the entire battlefield. Some ownerless war horses were standing on the battlefield, looking at all this quietly. He could see Jiang Yi leading some soldiers to clean the battlefield, and he would make up for some Jiannu soldiers from time to time. After all, whether it was Li Xin or Shi Yuanzhi, they all knew that Jiannu would not be able to surrender to Li Xin in a short period of time. Only the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Dynasty could follow Li Xin into the grassland.
"It's over. From then on, the territory of Li Xin within a hundred miles of Jinzhou was his territory." Zhang Chun also said lightly, his tone was filled with a hint of decadence. The tens of thousands of soldiers he brought had escaped at this moment. I really don't know how many soldiers could return to Jinzhou. Even if they returned to Jinzhou, they would be some scattered soldiers and brave men. These people might be okay to defend the city, but it would not be possible to attack Jiannu and recover Daling River. After Jiannu's battle, his strength was greatly reduced and it was impossible to go south at all. In this case, who is Li Xin's opponent?
"What the old man said is very much." Shi Yuanzhi nodded, but he knew that Li Xin could not occupy this place. Jinzhou was the key to rushing south. The Ming Dynasty and Jiannu fought here. The many battles between him and Jiannu were here. It has become sparsely populated. What Li Xin needs now is people. The sparsely populated Liaodong is not suitable for Li Xin to recruit soldiers here, but the vast grassland is different. Lin Danhan was about to fail under the attack of Jiannu. Li Xin could defeat Eastern Mongolia in a short time and then fight against Lin Danhan again. It can be said that Mongolia is the place Li Xin must occupy. As long as he occupied this place, Li Xin could have enough ability to enter the Central Plains.
The war was indeed over. In fact, after Huang Taiji fled in a panic, the war was over. Li Xin personally led his army to chase the Jiannu army for nearly a hundred miles. It was getting late, so he withdrew his troops back to the camp. In the face of the difficult situation, He Kegang was even more relaxed. He led the hundreds of Li Xin's cavalry and under the banner of Zhang Chun, he easily gathered nearly 20,000 troops, and obtained countless food and equipment.
By the time Li Xin arrived at Dalinghe City, it was already night. Under the city gate, Shi Yuanzhi, Jiang Yi, He Kegang and others came to welcome Li Xin's arrival one after another.
"After this battle, the lord will be intimidating China. Jiannu will not dare to go south to herd horses within ten years. The imperial army, hehe, probably hope that the lord will not go south. Haha!" Shi Yuanzhi laughed.
"I am a Han Chinese. My long-cherished wish is to expel the Tartars and restore the Han Chinese descendants." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "The Central Plains has a holy emperor who is in power and peace. How can I go south?" Li Xin's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm. Everyone nodded. The country is peaceful and peace and peace will naturally not go south, but if there is chaos in the world, Li Xin will naturally lead his army to go south.
