The former commander of Yongding Guard, Liu Heju, surrendered to the Zhuque Army after being captured. He claimed that he was framed and excluded by the generals of Chengguo Duke and revenge.
Ning was not very interested in his intrigue stories among bureaucrats, but Liu Heju recommended someone and aroused Zhang Ning's great interest: the criminal general Feng Youxian.
Feng Youxian was the former cavalry commander of Zhu Yong. He was locked in the military camp for crimes and failed to participate in the last battle in Gaodu City.
Liu Heju claimed with certainty that if Feng Youxian, the person who led the cavalry in Xicheng at that time, wouldn't have won so easily.
So Zhang Ning asked someone to check Feng Youxian's whereabouts.
A few days ago, the Zhuque army took advantage of the victory to capture Zhu Yong's camp about five miles west, and captured a group of people. The detained criminals in the army were treated as prisoners and were brought together. Then the generals responsible for counting the list of prisoners reported that there was indeed a person named Feng Youxian in the prison camp.
At this time, Feng Youxian was in the horse farm where the Zhuque Army was feeding the horses. Because the army lacked manpower, he selected some surrendered soldiers who were familiar with the habits of horses to help take care of the horses.
After guidance from the generals guarding the stable, Zhang Ning and Wang Xian and two or three personal soldiers walked over together. Suddenly, there was a person in the stable carrying a bucket and washing the horse's body intently.
This person should be Feng Youxian, and it looks different than I imagined.
This person is very young, probably in his twenties, and is completely different from the big and thick generals such as Liu Heju, and looks a bit like a scholar.
As Liu Heju said, this person was originally a landlord family from Chenzhou Prefecture, and was not a hereditary military household, but became a general through the military exercises of the Ministry of War.
At this moment, Feng Youxian turned around and looked at Zhang Ning and his group, and his work stopped temporarily.
Zhang Ning was wearing a gray military uniform. At first glance, the clothes looked not much different from ordinary soldiers, but they were wearing a square hat on their heads. Feng Youxian's eyes stopped on Zhang Ning's belt gold buckle and politely said: Is the general here to get the horse?
Zhang Ning was slightly stunned and nodded: I want to choose a mount in the military horse, but I am not very expert in horses. Can you help me choose a good one?
Please follow me, General.
Feng Youxian walked a long way into the stable and pointed to a brown horse path. This one should be the best horse here.Most of the others have mediocre qualifications because there are very few real good horses and have long been chosen by those who know the goods.
It is not necessarily true that there is something to say that there are often horses with men and women, but there are not often men. Perhaps some good horses are just not appreciated.Zhang Ning teased.He thought to himself that I am very amateur, but I am still a little insightful about my appearance.
Feng Youxian smiled and said: A thousand-mile horse may not be willing to be taken by others. Whether it is driven by the powerful or not, it is still a thousand-mile horse and does not need to cling to others.
Zhang Ning also smiled, pointed to the horse and said: What's so special about it?And he is smaller than the horse next to him.
Feng Youxian said: He is small because he has not grown up completely, and this horse has not been completely tamed yet, so he is not a military horse at all.I don't know how it was in the stable of the military horse... He stepped forward and opened his mouth and looked at his teeth, patted the horse's shoulder. The flesh was very beautiful, with brown hair all over his body and white four hooves. This horse is called Qianlixue, a rare good horse.However, as a military horse, it still takes some time to experience growth.
I didn't realize it just now, after you said this, it looks really perfect.When Zhang Ning saw its toned muscles, he couldn't help but slap it. Brother, he is indeed very expert in horses.
Feng Youxian stroked the face of the horse and said lightly: Horses are the most dignified animals. They walk with their heads raised and their chests are elegant. They are very expensive on weekdays and need to be fed with food and someone to serve them, but they can also put down their figure and pull the cart to endure the difficulties and heavy weight.It can not only be arrogant or impatient when being treated as a treasure, but also endure silently when being beaten. It is neither humble nor arrogant. Not to mention animals, there are very few people with this kind of demeanor.Horses are very human. Even if they are treated cruelly, they will not attack people. However, war horses can charge bravely among thousands of horses. They have the courage but do not abuse them... He suddenly came to his senses and said with a loss of melancholy and apologetically, "I've said too much. Generals want good horses, and this horse will not disappoint you."
There are often horses with a thousand miles apart, but there are not often men and good generals.General Feng is a thousand-mile horse, but Zhu Yong is not a Bole, which is a pity.
Zhang Ning said, General Feng knows why he was imprisoned?Zhu Yong defeated our army with 6,000 people, but he was unwilling to take responsibility and wanted to shirk the blame to others, so General Feng was the scapegoat.Unfortunately, it was a bit too expensive to lose a good general.
You are... Feng Youxian.
Zhang Ning said: I am Zhang Ning, who Zhu Yong dreamed of capturing and killing. Of course, my surname was Zhu.General Feng also saw that our Suzaku Army is not a bandit, but a storm was for justice.When King Yàn Zhu Di raised an army to rebel and illegally conquer the Ming Dynasty. There will always be justice and right and wrong in this world, and we cannot succumb to injustice and cruelty.As long as General Feng joins our Suzaku Army, this is the place where you realize your ambitions. No one will persecute you for no reason.
Feng Youxian said: Please forgive me for your crime. I am determined but powerless. I am just a criminal general who misses the opportunity to fight. I am not a thousand-mile horse.I am afraid that your highness will be valued now, and in the end, the mediocre qualifications will cause a big mistake.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning knew his tactful attitude, and immediately smiled indifferently: General Feng doesn’t need to rush to answer, I hope you will consider it again.Now that Zhu Yong is completely defeated, your crime is not clear, and you may be added with a charge of colluding with the enemy. Your family will be shamed for you, and you will never have a future in the court. Is this really what you want?We will conquer Chenzhou Prefecture soon, and I hope to see General Feng again then.
He turned around and called the generals outside in and ordered, Feng Youxian was no longer a prisoner, let him go home.
Feng Youxian said inconsolably: Your Highness is serious, why should you let me go easily?
Zhang Ning took off the reins of the snow of thousands of miles and brushed his back. Such a good horse, its posture is noble, neither humble nor arrogant, and its perfect muscles are full of strength and courage.If I can't tame it for my use, would I be willing to kill it?I would rather put it in the grassland and forests to let it live in its own place... Unfortunately, the world is so big that it has been dominated by others. No place is a homeless land, and sooner or later it will be captured.
……
The prisoners of the Suzaku Army and the enlisted official army led by Liu Heju quickly launched a battle against Chenzhou Prefecture.
Some people were worried that Liu Heju would have repeated surrenders just now, but Zhang Ning still boldly appointed this person and asked him to command the reorganized guards, because the strength of the Suzaku Army was already in short supply.
This ancient big city was once again subjected to ten days of shelling after being sieged by the Miao army for several months. The mortars in the Vermillion Bird Army were reimbursed for three of them for a long time due to long-term use.
The defenders were already unbearable. Finally, when a large number of troops ravaged by artillery, they had no combat power to engage in street fighting, and the chief general of the defenders surrendered to the Suzaku Army.
At this point, the entire Chenzhou area fell into the hands of Zhang Ning.
The entire Chenzhou area, Gaodu of Changde Prefecture, Cili Shimen Lizhou of Yuezhou Prefecture and other places are now under the rule of the Zhuque Army. The entire plain area on the west side of Dongting Lake, except for the periphery of Changde Prefecture, is occupied by Zhang Ning.
The main force of the Suzaku Army is in Chenzhou, and the position of other areas is very weak.
The official army could no longer mobilize troops to attack these areas, but the more than 2,000 Yuezhou soldiers close to Lizhou had the opportunity to recover the three counties of Yuezhou.
However, Qin Yousheng, who was the chief general of Yuezhou, was unable to move forward in the face of three almost unpreserved empty cities.
His aides around him advised: Duke Cheng has been defeated, and the situation in Huguang is now in chaos. The general may be criticized for delaying the marching, but there is no name or real crime; on the contrary, if three counties are captured and there is no reinforcements, if they are taken back by the rebels, the general will be confirmed for losing the city and lost land.
Qin Yousheng was not from Huguang, but a general who came with Zhu Yong. After listening to the advice of his staff, he thought it made sense, so he immediately ordered the marching to stop and declared that the previous military orders might have changed. He needed to go to Changde Prefecture first and ask Duke Cheng whether he would continue his previous strategy.
This is completely unnecessary. In Zhu Yong's combat plan, the main part is to attack Gaodu County. Now that the main battlefield has failed, is there still a plan?
Zhu Yong had no intention of taking care of the affairs of the three counties of Yuezhou at this time.
He tasted the intense pain and humiliation of failure.
In fact, victory or defeat is common. The battle between the two armies is either victory or defeat; it is just that after being defeated by an opponent who is completely at a disadvantage, the sense of shame and unwillingness are particularly troubled.
After Emperor Jianwen was defeated, it was probably the same.
Zhu Yong could not taste his feelings carefully, and he had to try his best to explain to the emperor and write this apology.
The failure of this battle will have a great impact on Zhu Yong, especially his position in the emperor's mind.
Not long after Emperor Xuande ascended the throne, he would have a new assessment against the civil and military officials and generals under his command, but Zhu Yong missed this opportunity.
To be pleased, Zhu Yong believed with certainty that he would not have to be punished for death or to be taken away from his title.
In any case, Emperor Xuande would definitely be willing to let him go if he remembered his father Zhu Neng's hard work and made a big contribution.
If there were no soldiers who fought bravely in the Jingnan Campaign, how did the Zhu Di family gain the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Yong's father Zhu Neng died in battle when facing hundreds of thousands of troops rushing forward. Emperor Xuande should have some old feelings!
Moreover, it is not just about emotions that are placed before Emperor Xuande. If he punishes Zhu Yong and executes him, it is very likely to trigger a deep political struggle.
During the Yongle, Hongxi and Xuande dynasties, the heroes and nobles of Jingnan occupied a great influence in the distribution of power, and if Zhu Yong moved, it might be regarded as a signal of a power reshuffle...
Just like the later Chongzhen Dynasty, you could not touch the eunuch Wei Zhongxian casually. Although the emperor really didn't like the disgusting Jiu Qiansui; the public opinion was praised for praise, the Chongzhen Dynasty was obviously worse than the Tianqi Dynasty.
Ning was not very interested in his intrigue stories among bureaucrats, but Liu Heju recommended someone and aroused Zhang Ning's great interest: the criminal general Feng Youxian.
Feng Youxian was the former cavalry commander of Zhu Yong. He was locked in the military camp for crimes and failed to participate in the last battle in Gaodu City.
