A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 225 Do You Want To Grab It?
While everyone was discussing, Lu Xiangsheng brought Chen An out, saying that Governor Lu called all the generals to enter the account.

All the people filed into the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw that there were already some tables on both sides, and some wine and vegetables were placed on them.On the top of the big tent, there is also a table. On the table, Lu Xiangsheng is sitting in the middle, talking with Yang Guozhu on the left side of the big tent.

Seeing the generals coming in, he smiled and greeted everyone to take their seats. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

Hu Dawei sat on the first table under Yang Guozhu, and it was obvious that with this batch of military exploits, Xuanfu Town was already the most important in Duchen Lu's mind among the generals of the three towns.Therefore, Yang Guozhu's case is also placed at the top on the left side of the big tent.

Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, was sitting at the head on the right side of the big tent. Like Hu Dawei, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, he couldn't wait to look at the young guerrilla general Wang Dou who was sitting behind Yang Guozhu, watching him calmly Sitting there, without the slightest look of arrogance on his face, he couldn't help but rate him a little higher.

Not only the two general soldiers, but also the participating generals and guerrillas from all the towns who entered the tent, all looked at Wang Dou after entering the tent.Seeing that the young general was questioning and answering questions with Duchen Lu respectfully from time to time, everyone's eyes were either admiration, envy, or jealousy.

Everyone sat down behind their main generals. Zhang Yan, the general of the Xuanfu, Li Jianming and Wen Hui, who came to help, saw Wang Dou's case placed behind the commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu. Guo Yingxian, the general of the Chinese army, didn't care , the three of them were unhappy, but there was nothing they could do. Who kept themselves from chopping off more than 200 Tartar heads?No wonder the military sect valued that Wang Dou.

At present, Zhang Yan sat down under Wang Dou, Guo Yingxian sat down under Zhang Yan, Li Jianming and Wen Hui sat in the second row behind Yang Guozhu.

It was noon at this time, and most of them hadn't eaten. Many generals were overjoyed to see that there was wine and meat on the table in front of them.However, many people sniffed the jug secretly, but they were disappointed. There was no smell of alcohol in it, and it was filled with tea.

Looking at the small case in front of Duchen Lu, there was also a pot of tea on it, and there was no meat on the case, only a big bowl of rough rice and a few dishes of side dishes.Lu Xiangsheng kept his father's filial piety. In addition to wearing sackcloth and filial piety, he also abided by the etiquette system and did not drink alcohol or eat meat.

Seeing that the generals were sitting down, Lu Xiangsheng poured a cup of tea with a smile. He stood up and said in a loud voice: "Today's news is that the officers and soldiers of Xuanzhen have beheaded more than two hundred ranks, which has raised the morale of our Ming army and frustrated the arrogance of the captives! This governor himself Jie Wenfei reported to the capital, and it is expected that the Holy Grail will come down soon!"

He glanced at Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou with a smile, and said: "Today's great victory, but General Yang's command is determined, and General Wang sacrificed his life to serve the country, so this is the result. The situation is tight, and drinking is a mistake, so we use tea instead of wine. General, let us raise our glasses to General Yang and General Wang!"

Iron armor clanging, everyone stood up, raised their glasses and said in unison: "Congratulations to the governor, congratulations to Yang Junmen, and congratulations to the general Wang."

The sound was like thunder, and everyone drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Xiangsheng laughed loudly and waited for everyone to sit down. He said loudly: "Today's great victory shows that the captives are stern and stubborn. As long as my officers and men have the heart to sacrifice their lives to serve the country, I will surely set the captives back. Don't dare to underestimate me. Daming up and down!"

He looked at everyone in the tent with a look of great anticipation.

Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, stood up first, and said loudly: "Dang Lao will remember the teachings of the governors, be loyal and fearless, and kill the enemy to serve the country."

Then everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and Lu Xiangsheng nodded frequently, with an extremely pleased expression.

Wang Pu used tea instead of wine, first toasted Yang Guozhu a cup, then poured another cup of tea, looked at Wang Dou, and said with a smile: "Today I know the power of General Wang Xuanzhen. , toast you."

Everyone in the tent looked at Wang Dou, Wang Dou stood up, and said loudly: "Don't dare, the last general should respect Wang Junmen."

The two toasted from a distance and drank it all in one gulp.

Then Hu Dawei, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, also stood up, and also toasted Yang Guozhu first, and then said to Wang Dou in a deep voice: "General Wang, this army sect also toasts you, beheading more than two hundred slaves, good man! "

Seeing this veteran, Wang Dou didn't dare to neglect, stood up and had another drink with Hu Dawei Yaoyao.

The generals of the two towns toasted Wang Dou in person, and many people in the tent were envious and jealous. Presumably, after today, Wang Dou would become famous, at least in the three towns of Xuanda.General Zhang Yan of the Xuanfu, Li Jianming and Wen Hui, generals of guerrilla warfare, looked at Wang Dou beside them, feeling very uncomfortable.

Lu Xiangsheng watched all this with a smile, and Yang Guozhu also nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng raised his chopsticks, and the tent fell silent, and everyone began to gobble it up. Lu Xiangsheng was meditating while eating.With Lu Xiang ascending to the top, the generals restrained themselves like unrestrained warriors, everyone ate a lot more politely, but they were hungry, so they still ate all the tea, rice and meat in front of them.

After everyone ate and drank enough, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, suddenly remembered something, and respectfully said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Minister, the army is running out of food and grass, what do you think?"

Hearing what he said, everyone else looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who was the leader. Obviously, what Wang Puzhi said was a common problem in all towns.

Lu Xiangsheng said in a deep voice: "Generals, just kill the thieves with peace of mind. For the matter of food and grass, the governor will find a way."

Since everyone's line of defense was close to most of the Qing army, everyone left in a hurry after the banquet in order to prevent any changes.

When parting, many people came forward to greet Wang Dou affectionately, expressing their admiration.Wang Pu's expression was even more affectionate, he patted Wang Dou on the shoulder several times, and said a few words to Yang Guozhu, got on his horse and left in a hurry after leaving the camp.

Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu left Lu Xiangsheng's camp. When they parted, Yang Guozhu said to Wang Dou: "Jiewen Lu Duchen has passed the horse to the capital, and the Holy Spirit will come down soon. There is a shortage of food in the army. If the governor pulls out the food and grass , I will never forget your part."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "If slave bandits aggressively invade your place, you can report it quickly, and our army will definitely lead the army to help."

He patted Wang Dou on the shoulder, nodded approvingly, and then got on the horse.His relative, Guo Yingxian, regretfully said to Wang Dou: "It's a pity that we can't drink alcohol today, General Wang, on that day our brothers won't return if we don't get drunk."

He punched Wang Dou heavily in the chest, got on his horse and ran with Yang Guozhu.

Zhang Yan, Li Jianming, and Wen Hui also said to Wang Dou, "General Wang, congratulations."

The three bid farewell to Wang Dou, and led their personal guards to run separately.

……

Wang Dou returned to his defense village, the place was in full swing, and everyone was still discussing the morning's battle with great interest.

Seeing Wang Dou coming back, everyone gathered around with great interest, and kept asking how the old man would react after meeting the governor, and Wang Dou explained in detail.Hearing that Duchen Lu was very happy, and that the generals of the two towns toasted their generals in person, everyone was happy to see each other. Now their security forces are well-known, and everyone has a good face when they go out.

After a while of jubilation, the crowd quieted down. Wang Dou summoned Li Guangheng and others to encourage them for a while, and asked the town governor Chi Dacheng to carefully register their meritorious deeds.Let him carefully report what he has heard outside the sentry these days.

In front of Wang Dou, who kills people without blinking an eye, and who is as tough as Wen Daxing is also respectful. He carefully reported what his sentry heard in the past few days. In the west of the Tongzhou River, all the boats on the canal have been burned by them. The Tartar army camped for hundreds of miles, and camped all the way to the border of Zhangjiawan in Tongzhou."

He also said: "The last general tortured a few captured Tartar soldiers, and the Tartar generals are dispatching troops, it seems that they have the intention of going south to Baoding, to make sure."

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Dou with admiration, the general was surprised, how did he know that the Tartar soldiers were going south to Baoding and Zhending?If this is the case, my army will go there to fight, the topographical maps of the various places have been drawn, and a large amount of food and grass have been hoarded in Baoding Prefecture and other places. The soldiers have enough food and clothing. supply.

Han Zhong also cracked his lips and said with a smile: "The general has a clever plan, and he is really a man of predictability."

It's rare for him to say such polite words. After he started, everyone praised him.

Wang Dou smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, stop flattering."

He said to Wen Daxing: "Wen Baizong, you continue to talk."

Wen Daxing continued to report, and he provided a very important piece of information: "Many of the grain, rice, camels, horses and fodder captured by the Tartars are stored in Zhangjiawan, Gaolizhuang and other places."

He licked his lips regretfully: "It's a pity, it's only a dozen miles away from the Tartar camp, or if we grab one, our thousands of troops will not have to worry about food, rice, and fodder."

Wang Dou's heart skipped a beat: "Is there a sentry that sent out detailed information about the enemy's situation in this area?"

Wen Daxing said: "The last general, Yebu, did not accept the brothers, but he captured a few Tartars from the vicinity of Zhangjiawan, they are the Tartar defenders there, but they came back in a hurry, and there was no time for interrogation."

Wang Dou said in a deep voice: "If you interrogate now and use torture arbitrarily, you will definitely gain the troops of the slaves and bandits in Zhangjiawan."

A bloodthirsty light flashed in Wen Daxing's eyes, and he led away excitedly.

Then everyone sat in the house to discuss, Han Zhongdao: "General, the last general thinks it is possible to sneak attack, grab a few thousand stones of food and grass, and leave. Now our army has only ten days of food left in the army. If we don't send troops to loot, I'm afraid we can't support it." how long."

Wen Fangliang expressed his concern: "It's too close to the Tartar camp. The Tartars have a lot of cavalry. Tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers will arrive in a blink of an eye. We have only a few thousand people here..."

Having said that, he shook his head, obviously not optimistic about this operation.

Zhong Tiaoyang said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, we can tell Duchen Lu, Yang Junmen and others that the three towns of Xuanda will act together, and the chances of winning are quite high."

Han Zhong also thought of this and agreed repeatedly.

Wen Fangliang said: "I'm afraid it's the officers and soldiers of the three towns, no one dares to go."

Everyone calmed down. If there is no division of troops in Changping, a [-]-strong army may still be able to win, but now... and even so, attacking for the sole purpose of grabbing food will probably be dismissed as absurd by many generals, and it will be difficult to get everyone's attention. people respond.

Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no good way, and Wang Dou was also hesitant. This plan was too risky, and there was a danger of being surrounded by tens of thousands of Qing soldiers if they failed to grab food.I can't fight all the thousands of soldiers in the area.

There was no magic method for the time being, so he went to the next room to watch Wen Daxing's torture of several Qing soldiers. There were bursts of shrill screams, and Wen Daxing yelled at the Qing soldiers in Manchu.Those Qing soldiers were covered in bruises, but they just glared at Wen Daxing and kept yelling.

Wen Daxing grinned grimly and said, "Don't say it? Look at Grandpa's tricks!"

He fixed a Qing soldier with a lot of hair growth, then took a rusty file knife, grabbed his money rattail, cut a knife on his forehead, and then inserted the file knife into the scalp Go, pulled hard with his left hand, the Qing soldier was in pain, his whole body was twitching, his eyes were protruding, it seemed that at this moment, he really regretted coming to this world.

Slowly his scalp opened up more, revealing the bloody, white skull inside. Suddenly, Wen Daxing yelled, and the Qing soldier's entire scalp was torn off by him, and the scalp was bloody and bloody. The Qing soldier let out a loud cry , Passed out from pain.

Wen Da admired the scalp in his hand with interest for a while, then turned to the remaining three Qing soldiers with a smile: "Say it or not."

Although he was smiling, his expression was extremely ferocious.

The three captives had long since lost their role as tough guys, all of them were pale, and one of them even peed his pants in fright, and just nodded desperately.

Wen Daxing praised: "That's right."
