Gospel of Lazy Cancer

The emperor looked forward to it, and finally waited for the news from Bailixi.

The letter stated that they would launch a large-scale attack on the savage Jurchen the day after the secret letter was sent out. Counting the time, several days have passed, and the savage Jurchen is still in a stalemate with the Han army at a leisurely pace. Therefore, Yao Chen decided to take the initiative to launch a decisive battle, making it impossible for him to escape.

On this day, the savage Jurchen discovered that the formation of the Han army had changed.

The Liaodong cavalry and Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry, who had been unable to shrink back, appeared on the left and right flanks of the infantry, and there was a bright yellow figure on the chariot where the Liaodong general was standing.

"I will live and die with all the soldiers!"

The emperor's words spread throughout the entire army, and the morale was high, as if countless buffs had been added.

The leaders of the savage Jurchens looked at each other in disbelief.

The Han emperor's personal conquest?Is there such a good thing in the world?It seems that an inexhaustible gold mine is right in front of my eyes.As long as you put in a little more effort, you can take him away, threaten the Han court to offer food and treasures, and throw him in front of the battle when you attack the city in the future. Let's see who dares to shoot an arrow, and don't open the door obediently and let them ask for it?

Yao Chen secretly said: It's okay to live together, but it's fine to die together.

It's not that he hasn't persuaded the emperor to stay in the military tent, but the emperor insisted on helping Yao Chen, thinking that there is no more effective bait than himself, Yao Chen finally agreed, a little happy that the little wolf dog can advance and retreat with him, and at the same time They also set up a backup, if there is an accident, immediately knock the emperor unconscious and send him to the boat, and return to Beijing by sea all the way to ensure safety.

The appearance of the Han emperor not only brought about a change in the morale of his own side, but also the enemy's eyes were red like a wolf who had taken aphrodisiacs, and they were more ferocious and unstoppable than usual and rushed towards the Han army.

The slogan they chanted was simple and unpretentious: "Catch the emperor alive, reward ten thousand gold!"

The prairie people's favorite tactic is to break through the enemy's formation, cut the enemy into two pieces, and then charge again. After repeating this, the enemy will be divided into several small parts that have no resistance, and it is difficult to organize any effective defense and defense. The counterattack, in the end, the whole army can only be defeated in the exhaustion of coping.

Under the desperate charge of countless cavalry, they finally tore through the defense of the Han infantry, and completed the first step with difficulty, and then there was no more, because the right-wing Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry moved. Seeing that the Han army's flanks moved, the Savage Jurchen also mobilized a group of cavalry, trying to go around the Jianzhou Jurchen's rear to attack. Yao Chen resisted the idea of ​​moving the left wing immediately and waited for the battle situation to change. .

Some time ago, the cavalry watched the infantry show off their power, but now they could no longer hold back. The emperor and the major general watched the battle in person. Their blood was boiling with murderous aura, and even their breathing was filled with fiery fighting intent.

In the head-to-head confrontation in the cold weapon war, there are not many tricks and skills. It is the strength of the entire army, including the commander's formation and the bravery of the soldiers.

The two sides are like a game of chess, constantly making moves in the game, increasing the weight, comparing with who can see ten steps in one step, and being able to hold their breath more than anyone else.

Today is also a day of intense fighting.

The results are the most abundant since the war began, but the loss has also reached its peak.

Yao Chen's heart was calm and unwavering, and he didn't have the agitation of ordinary people seeing blood and blood flying around. He quietly listened to his subordinates' report on the battle situation, and then went to visit the wounded in person. The emperor followed him closely, from his calm and composed expression I saw sadness and depression.

He also saw with his own eyes the seriously injured patients moaning/groaning in pain, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a purgatory on earth.

Those are his people, his soldiers.

The emperor hugged the major general carefully.

"They deserve to die, at least they have military exploits and pensions, which will benefit their family and children," Yao Chen said calmly, "From the moment they joined the army, they tied their heads to their waistbands. One more day of life is a gift, and I hope Your Majesty will be more sympathetic to the soldiers. Not easy."

The emperor nodded, and promised himself that he would not provoke the border lightly, cherish the soldiers, and give them a lot of compensation.

"Your Majesty is like this, it is the blessing of all people, and it is also my luck."

The emperor said silently: I am lucky to have you.

The war was at a stalemate, and the atmosphere among the Han people was still good. Except for the variable of the emperor's personal conquest, everything went smoothly as planned, but the savage Jurchen received bad news one after another.

The latest battle report came from the right. The Nuer Gandu Division and the Liaodong Guards were defeated. The losses were immeasurable. They were forced to disperse and flee. It was not a defeat, but a rout. The leader underestimated the enemy and rushed forward again, and finally died a big death, fell into the enemy's trap, and was decapitated.

The news of the attack in the rear has also spread to the front line. The cunning and treacherous Han Chinese bypassed their rear through the navy, burning, killing and looting. Their rear was empty, caught off guard, and suffered great losses.

Bahu Tekeshen, the leader of the savage Jurchen, called the leaders of all tribes to discuss countermeasures.

In this battle, every tribe lost blood.Bahu Tekeshen had seven sons, the third son and the fourth son died in the previous battle, and his favorite youngest son was also injured yesterday, otherwise with the current progress of the war, everyone would have disobeyed his command.

They faced two choices: one was to continue going south and gnaw at the hard bone of Jianzhou; the other was to immediately return to the rear, which meant that this expedition was a complete failure, with losses of soldiers and generals, and no gains.

"I can't go back. This must be a trick of the Han people. They can't hold on any longer. The Emperor of Han is right in front of us! As long as we work harder, we can bite the tortoise's shell!"

"Be careful to bang your teeth. Is Yao an idiot? Since he dared to show the emperor, he is not afraid of us snatching it. Can't you see it? It's a trap to keep wasting!" Hearing that the rear was lost, many people Already have the idea to quit.Didn't they come out to plunder to feed the young and old in the tribe?Moreover, the loss is controllable at this time, and this year can be passed; if the situation continues to deteriorate, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out.

Some people hesitated: "How many Han troops attacked the tribe?"

"It hasn't been identified yet. It may just be a suspected soldier of the Han people, forcing us to abandon the southern expedition and return to the north."

"Why don't you wait?"

"There is not enough food and grass, and the horse will be killed if you wait any longer."

Some people began to curse the Tatars: "This group of cunning wolves have talked so much, but now they have no intention of sending troops!"

"Shut up! What's the use of saying this now?!"

Bahu Tekeshen got a headache from the quarrel, and after a night of deliberation, there was no result, so he could only wait for the news.The next day, he received a report from his subordinates, saying that several tribes had withdrawn their troops in disregard of the order. Those tribes were originally rebellious, but now that the war was frustrated and the power of the big tribe was damaged, they immediately returned to their old ways and refused to accept discipline.He gritted his teeth secretly, making up his mind that he must clean them up after going back.

But this is something that will come later, he must now think carefully about the countermeasures, and his brains will offer a plan.

The little emperor ran into the military tent enthusiastically.

"Jing Xing, the leader of the savage Jurchen wrote you a secret letter, but it seems that the sender was an idiot and sent it to me by mistake." He unfolded the letter in his hand as if offering a treasure.

Yao Chen pinched his brows, the military affairs in wartime were several times as usual, he was almost blind from seeing.

"He didn't make a mistake. He just showed it to you. It's nothing more than implying that I support myself and intend to rebel. Are there any new tricks?"

"Close your eyes and rest for a while, and I'll read it to you." The emperor's little wolf dog didn't care, and read out the sobering letter with deep and pleasant voice.

When Yao Chen heard it, he was quite good at writing. He expressed his admiration for him like a surging river, praising himself for his illustrious reputation. In the north of the Great Wall, only the name of the Major General is heard, not the name of the emperor. The common people only know the name of the Major General. I don’t know what the court said, but at the same time, you made up a story, saying that last time you wrote a letter saying that you want to trade with us, treat the people kindly, and share the world.

"There are a few sentences that praise the major general well, but they are superficial, without depth, and the handwriting has no character, flattering and flattering ears." The emperor commented sharply.

Yao Chen smiled lowly: "Who else has a deep understanding of me besides you?"

The emperor was elated.

A smirk curled his lips: "Why don't we write a reply letter?"

He leaned close to the major general's ear, murmured a few words, couldn't help but licked the major general's ear, and sucked on his earlobe for a while.Recently, the battle situation has become clearer, the atmosphere has become a little more relaxed, and they are also in the mood to make fun.

The emperor studied under Zhang Shoufu, and he had a brilliant literary talent. He discussed with Yao Chen and wrote a reply letter at the same time.

Bahu Tekeshen, the leader of the wild Jurchens, didn't want to read the reply at all.

This was a strategy to sow dissension, to make the emperor doubt the general's loyalty, and the other party replied seriously, which showed that he had seen through his tricks, and not only that, but also responded in the same way.

The letter first expressed respect for the savage Jurchen. We are a peace-loving nation, and fighting is out of defense. Fighting casually is not aimed at you. You must not take it to heart.

The savage Jurchen was so angry that she vomited blood: Oh, just hit us here and block us, making it difficult to enter?

Then, Yao Chen expressed generously, since you sincerely asked for peace, the leader, we will tell you mercifully that if you want peace talks, you can!Bow your head and profess to be the first, and compensate for the war losses. Rough calculations, it is only a few million taels. It is fine if you don’t have money or livestock, or land without livestock. We don’t choose.

This letter directly angered Bahu Te Keshen, and the next day's attack was extremely violent, as if he had lost his mind and was determined to make the Han people look good.

However, Yao Chen could see from the GPS map provided by the system that this was a pretense, and that the barbarian Jurchen camp was only an empty shell, and the large forces had retreated, and the strategy had shifted.

The offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides reversed instantly.

"Leave if you want? It's up to you."

Yao Chen handed over the camp to the emperor, and personally led the cavalry to pursue it.

The emperor was still a little dissatisfied, Yao Chen said: "Wait for me at home." The latter agreed sweetly.

The savage Jurchen who was caught up by Yao Chen first was sluggish. They were left behind when they retreated. They were not elite soldiers in the first place. They were attacked without warning. The sky was full of dust as if there were countless pursuers. In his heart, he only swung his whip and rode the horse desperately, hoping to run faster than his companions and escape the pursuit of death.

From time to time someone fell off his horse, was shot, or was trampled to death by the horses of his companions. The chaos caused by the enemy's pursuit was not as great as the casualties caused by their internal panic.

Yao Chen chased them for half a month, not only drove them out of the territory, but also chased them outside the border.

"Young general, don't chase after the poor." Someone said.

"How much did you gain this time?"

His subordinates reported a number, and Yao Chen did the math. So far, the Savage Jurchens have lost more than 12 men. This is not counting the results of the battle along the Baili Creek. This time, their vitality has been greatly injured, and they will go south on a large scale. , You have to recharge your batteries for more than five years, even if there is a small-scale harassment, you should be fearless.

"Go home." Yao Chen raised his whip.

When Da Ying received the message that the major general was coming back, the whole army was beaming with joy.

"This time the stewed beef brisket with potatoes has been settled?" Xiaoqi said happily, he had just heard from Zongqi that he had reported the battle report of the reward to the imperial court, and he believed that the reward would come soon.Since the general took control of Liaodong, their food and rewards have never been in arrears. If someone is corrupt and violates the law, the army will punish them severely. This is one of the reasons why the whole army respects and supports the young general.

"Yeah, my butt hurts from eating horse meat recently."

"Mad, can you stop talking about shit while eating?!"

"I didn't say it, you said it first!"

"Okay." Xiao Qi comforted the two who looked like fighting cocks. They had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and everyone's emotions had not yet completely calmed down. "Horse meat is really bad, but there's nothing you can do about it. It's a pity to waste so many dead horses. You've been tricked by the major general. If you learn from Jianzhou Jurchen, they won't pick them!"

"Don't talk too early, I saw them secretly asking the cook about when to eat potatoes."

"..."

Yao Chen came back in the evening, which was the time to bury the pot for cooking.

The emperor ordered people to prepare hot water, and ordered some dishes and hot wine.

He personally removed the general's armor and checked for any new wounds on his body. He couldn't help complaining: "You want to lead the way and charge into battle? Swords have no eyes, what if you get hurt? I'm not allowed to go..."

Yao Chen grabbed his fidgeting hand, he hasn't showered for a long time, how dirty it is.

"It's not hurt at all, it's just that I've been on the horse all day, the inner thighs are worn out, and the buttocks are also a little blue. Wash it first, and I'll show you later." The voice behind was already full of frivolity and teasing.

Yao Chen was naked in front of the emperor, not shy, and walked into the tub with long legs.

He wanted to take a combat bath, but was so exhausted that he fell asleep in the warm water.

When he woke up, it was already midnight, the moon was hanging high, and the emperor was guarding the bedside, with a book in his hand.

Yao Chen found that he was wearing a clean and comfortable underwear, and his whole body was cool and warm. He felt the coolness between his thighs, as if he had applied medicine.It must be the little wolf dog's credit.

"Hungry?" the emperor asked in a low voice.

Yao Chen nodded, sat up, and the emperor put a robe on him.

When the hot dishes were served, the emperor had already eaten them, and he served them with Yao Chen.

"Can I drink?" the emperor asked, too tired to drink.

"It's much better after a night's sleep. Rice wine is fine, just one or two glasses."

The two exchanged cups, feeling happy, and unknowingly drank the whole jar of rice wine.

"Lie down together for a while?" Yao Chen invited.

The emperor rushed forward vigorously.

The emperor looked sideways at the satisfied major general beside him.

The dim candlelight seemed to cover the major general with a veil, like a dream.His appearance became more and more like the old general Yao in the memory of the emperor, handsome and handsome, full of the vigor and perseverance of an adult man.

"After the new year, you will be 28 years old..." It seems a little inappropriate to call him a major general, maybe he should be called a general?But no matter how you call it, they are all his people.

"Before I knew it, I had been guarding here for ten years." Yao Chen sighed.

"Will you be reluctant?" the emperor couldn't help asking.

"This is already my second hometown. The cold north wind, the melodious pastoral songs, the rebellious horses, everything is imprinted in my mind, and I will never forget this place." But I don't want to Stay on.

This thing is like the college entrance examination of the ancient blue star. Every student has to go through it once. It is impressive, rewarding and meaningful, but I definitely don't want to go through it again...

The emperor covered the back of his hand comfortingly and held it tightly.

"Beiping is also your hometown and our home. You will like it there," the emperor assured, "I want to promote you to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and you will still be in charge of Liaodong affairs. , you can come back anytime."

The Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion is the highest military institution in the central government. It controls the power of the world's soldiers and horses, manages the capital and various guards, leads the country's military construction, and checks with the Ministry of War. Although there is a faint tendency for the Ministry of War to override it, it has actually been promoted. .

From local real power to central officials, there are advantages and disadvantages.

But Yao Chen's most important thing is to go to the capital to enjoy the blessings and occasional business trips from the resident cold place, of course it is a beautiful thing!

But general officials and Liaodong military officers don't think so.

Although the emperor rewarded him generously after returning to Beijing, and the whole world celebrated together, he still couldn't help but feel chills when General Yao was transferred back to the capital.

When he first received the emperor's decree, Zhang Shoufu sat silently for a while, and he had already started begging for the bones in his heart.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!He really couldn't understand the apprentice of the emperor.

It’s okay to say that he trusts Zongbing Yao. He’s on a northern tour and a personal conquest, and he never forgets to give some good things to the north when he returns. Last time when the Jianzhou Jurchen surrendered, he personally asked Zongbing Yao about his diet. Ask the leader of the other tribe to say hello.

But having said that, this also shows that the emperor has strict control over Yao Zongbing and is very jealous. He even asks him to eat more ice cans. There are spies around the other party to grasp their every move?It was horrible and chilling.

He has just won a big victory, and you want him to hand over his military power. Although some officials in the court secretly murmured that General Yao’s military power is too great, thousands of miles to the north, at least 20 elite soldiers and strong generals, not counting the various tribes It is not an exaggeration to call him a vassal with a large population, vassals and sailors.

It's too fast to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Aren't you afraid of causing the Liaodong soldiers to backlash?
