Chapter 502 Can't Stop

9days ago Historical fiction 8
Zhang Fu and others were not in Nanjing. After returning from business, they had no wife and children around them, so they were with two close-knit military officials, asking their servants to make a table of dishes and a pot of wine. The three of them drank two cups together to spend the evening.

In addition to Xue Lu, who was recently in front of him, there is also a general named Wu.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Fu mentioned the poem he recited by the emperor, and couldn't help but sigh.

After hearing this, Xue Lu said in shame: A few years ago, the last general in Changde failed to destroy the rebels at a low level, and today it caused a great disaster.

The British Duke shook his head and said: In the Battle of Yuanshui, the defeat of the official army should be reasonable.At that time, we didn't know Zhang's bandits, knew ourselves but not our enemy, and underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. Moreover, General Xue led tens of thousands of troops, all of whom were soldiers who had not known the war for a long time, but now it seems that there are not many chances of victory.However, the Battle of Jiujiang last year was somewhat regrettable.

Xue Ludao: Last year, the imperial court mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, and the Duke of the State divided his troops into three groups to fight against him, but he was defeated. Why did he reach this point?

I'm afraid it's just luck.

Zhang Fu shook his head and sighed, I also thought it was a sure win at that time.Although the Huguang rebels were sharp in firearms and used evil forces, I had long known it. In any case, although there were nearly 100,000 rebels at that time, the surrender of the King of Han in Jiujiang and the later tens of thousands of new recruits in Wuchang were not comparable to the elite of the official army. The only ones that were difficult to deal with were more than 10,000 real bandits.Our army has trapped the real bandits in a small area of ​​Jiujiang, and it is impossible to escape.The war was delayed for several months, and finally the generals were defeated and retreated without success... Looking back, the result of only one of them was beneficial to me, so why did this happen?

Zhang Fu fell into memories, Zhu Mian misled me, in the battle of King E, the elite troops of the fifth army of Shenji Camp should not be annihilated by Zhou Mengxiong's new army at all.Even if Zhou Mengxiong uses troops like a god, as long as Zhu Mian does not make mistakes, there will be no such result.I understood that it was a sure victory situation and reversed it; there were also the elite soldiers and other soldiers who besieged the northwest corner that day, 10,000 or 20,000 people, but they were defeated in one go.

Xue Ludao: Rumors suddenly arose in the army, which affected morale in the last battle.It is really strange that there are giants flying with people in the world.Last year, I remembered that a strange thing happened in a village in Chizhou last year. The villagers caught a fish in the river and actually spoke human words, saying, "The country is about to perish, and there are many monsters." This scared the village to chaos.This matter is only a matter of being managed by the Jinyiwei, but I don’t know if it will be reported...

Don't talk about this kind of thing casually.Zhang Fu hurriedly stopped him.

Xue Lu then said: The last general is brave, and the emperor still seems to have the intention to pacify Huguang as soon as possible.Why did the Duke of the State strongly recommend turning off the offensive into defense? Why not take advantage of the three sides to encircle the overall situation and use troops to Huguang again? Who else can take on this great task today?The last time Zhang Fei (the official does not recognize Zhu Wenbiao's royal bloodline, and he often uses his former name) was lucky, but how could he pass the test by luck after returning?

Zhang Fu said coldly: If there is still the previous situation, how could I beg the one who is ignorant?To put it nicely, it is a three-sided encirclement, but I heard that the Mu family in the southwest and Jianwen were in private. I don’t know how many people in Yunnan and Guizhou stood on the shore to watch the fire. What would happen if they really attacked?The Sichuan army, who were ordered to leave Sichuan, seemed to be unrelated to their own affairs. They believed that this was a scene of the Zhu family fighting for the world outside of Sichuan, and they had no intention of working hard. In addition, there was a battalion of rebels in Lizhou and Yuezhou on the southern bank, which was difficult to cross the heavenly chasm.Now it seems that only the emperor and the court ministers were in charge, and the elite troops were transferred from the nine sides of the capital, and they were willing to fight with the Nanjing Camp; the rest were all watching the limelight.How to encircle such a situation?

I can't say it clearly in the hall, but Master Yang should know it well, otherwise how could he discuss me?Nowadays, there are only rivers and land battles along the river. Since Huguang rebels are trying to build ships and want to go east, instead of rushing troops to attack from afar, why not wait for the effort? The left and right are fighting.If you can win this decisive battle, it will hurt the rebels' vitality, take the lead and attack again, it will be safer than underestimating the enemy.

……

Zhang Ning in Wuchang City rarely mentioned that battle since the Battle of Jiujiang, but the most unforgettable experience in his life is probably one of them.Survival is only based on luck, not manpower.

While the new battlefield is being prepared in full swing, he doesn't seem busy.After experiencing some things, he understood more clearly that sometimes it is not enough to work hard, but he must not stop.

So he returned to his previous style and never saw him going out early and coming back late, but the ministers always found him in time if they had important matters.

I heard that Xiao Qing set up a mourning hall for her father in a yard. She could not collect the body, but could only set up tablets and mourning. Zhang Ning somehow took the time to go and recite it in person.

An irrelevant woman who wanted to help the assassin murder him seemed to have no friendship, probably for Luo Mo's sake.

The people who were traveling with Xin Wei and Chunmei were responsible for the nearby security.

They all wore green robes and plain white robes. Because they were not relatives of the deceased, they did not have to wear mourning clothes and just hang a piece of black silk on their arms to show their condolences.

There was a white cloth hanging at the door, and the gate was not closed. The servants welcomed the mourning people in and saw some round paper money scattered in the yard.

In the spring, this scene adds a bit of solemnity and withering and sadness.

This place is not Yang's mansion. The Yang family is a wealthy family. There are no dead people in the family. Of course, guests will not be allowed to do funerals at their own home.

The three of them walked into the mourning hall and saw that the funeral was extremely deserted. There were only two people inside, and only Xiao Qing was wearing mourning clothes.

She tied her white mourning clothes with a hemp rope on her waist, and tears were hanging on her weak and elegant face. She was so beautiful that she looked so beautiful.

Luo Mo Niang obviously didn't expect Zhang Ning to come in person, so she couldn't help but look at him in surprise because she felt an inexplicable mystery in the mourning hall, so she naturally didn't talk much.

Xiao Qing hurriedly knelt on the cushion and bowed to Zhang Ning, probably thanking him for coming to pay tribute to his father.

Zhang Ning didn't say anything, first took a few incense on the table and lit it on the candle, distributed it to the other two people accompanying him, bent down to the tablet in the center, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

After worshiping, he walked up to Xiao Qing and said sincerely: I'm really sorry, although I was willing to help, I was unable to rescue Ling Zun.

Xiao Qing choked and said: The little woman doesn’t blame King Xiang.Thank you for coming to pay tribute to my father today... My father was my only relative, but now... I cried after saying that.

Zhang Ning hurriedly said kindly and comforted her, but her words were low but seemed to be born with gentle care. You are not a bad person, everyone understands your previous difficulties, and Miss Luo will not blame you and will not ignore her in the future.

Luo Mo Niang heard it in her ears, and she was secretly warned of this guy's insignificance, but he was very comfortable when he spoke, and no one could hear any lewd feeling, as if it was true.

No matter what, according to the rules, her parents need to be filial, and it takes more than 20 months to die. Xiao Qing is a filial daughter, and Zhang Ning can't tempt her to do things that are contrary to her conscience.

At this moment, Zhang Ning felt that the light in the main hall dimmed slightly, and he felt that someone had come to the door again.

When he turned around, he saw a woman in plain white clothes. The key was that she seemed to be carrying a pillow on her back. Even if Zhang Ning had never actually seen her, she had watched TV. Maybe she was a kimono. Is this a Japanese?

Everyone did not act rashly for a moment, just to see what she was going to do.

The woman had wide sleeves in her clothes. She raised one sleeve to cover her face, gently pinched the cuff with her other hand, and walked in carefully with very restrained and fine steps.

As she approached, she finally moved her sleeves away and saw a pretty face, with big eyes and a drooping expression that looked very obedient and obedient.

Zhang Ning understood as soon as he saw a Japanese woman named Wang Yue Hongying in the provincial prison not long ago. The girl in front of him looked very similar. If she didn't look carefully, she thought Hongying had escaped from prison.

I heard that Miss Xiao’s father was the immortal, so I set up a spirit here and came here without invitation. I came here to apologize for guilt and asked Miss Xiao to allow me to give me a incense stick for Lord Lingzun.

Very fluent Chinese, with a slightly special accent, and the pronunciation is inaccurate but the pronunciation is clear.Moreover, he has a good grasp of the speed of speech, neither fast nor slow, so he should be a tone that only people with stable psychological qualities can grasp.

The people who came to mourn were polite and polite. The owner had no reason to make a fuss in the mourning hall. Naturally, Xiao Qing did not refuse and asked her to burn incense.

The atmosphere in the mourning hall suddenly became strange. Xiao Qing silently got up to refill the candle, and the woman in the kimono hurriedly went up to help.
