Chapter 357 Volume C for the Country
With the arrival of Datong soldiers, the army in Yulin Town is also speeding up its adjustment.
However, Tatar activities on the Zhenjingbao and Yongjibao lines have become increasingly active, and they continue to harass the Baozhai settlements along the lines.
You Shigong's army had to temporarily shelve its operations to deal with the worsening situation.
"Since the Tang Dynasty, it seems that your son's opinion is very pertinent. If you want to attack freely, you really need to deal with the Tatars in the north." Chai Ke had only been in Yulin for a few days, but he had lost weight, his eye sockets were sunken deeper, and the corners of his mouth were also distorted. There were a few big blisters, obviously because of the rising anger in my heart.
"Master Chai, Master Yang, I do have contact with Shitu, but this guy is elusive, unpredictable, and extremely cunning. Of course, the most important thing is that Su Nang's army is pressing down on the border, which also makes him a frightened bird. He is deeply afraid of being attacked. The vegetable bags are served in one pot."
Feng Tang seemed very relaxed. With Chai Ke in charge, all risks and responsibilities were placed in Chai Ke's hands. He only needed to act according to Chai Ke's requirements.
Looking at Feng Ziying next to him and Yang He sitting side by side with Chai Ke, Feng Tang always felt that something was not right.
The adjustment of the forces of various units in Yulin Town has been placed in front of Chai Ke. Which unit is elite, which unit is slightly weaker, which unit is good at attacking fortresses, which unit is good at field battles, the characteristics and temperament of the leading generals of each army, Feng Tang They all reported to Chai Ke with all their treasures in mind, only waiting for Chai Ke to give the order.
Even if Chai Ke ignored the Tatars and ordered You Shigong to launch an attack directly to the west, he would not express his opinion, as long as Chai Ke had the courage.
"What about Zhu Li Tu and Zai Seng? I heard that these two people are very resentful towards A Chi Tu and Lady Bin Tu?" Chai Ke said with a smile.
"Oh? It seems that Mr. Chai is also familiar with the situation in our Hetao. Zhulitu and Zaiseng Xiaguan also know each other. They have dealt with each other before. They were expelled from Songshan and have been staying in the Hetao. They are quite honest. , of course, this is only compared with Achitu and Bintu Lady." Feng Tang was also a little surprised, realizing that there was something wrong, and subconsciously glanced at his son, "You can contact these two guys, But it may take some time, as they have always been elusive in the Hetao and work in groups.”
"Zi Tang, why do you think Su Nang is showing such aggressive momentum now? Does he think that with his support, Kuai Bai and Liu Dongyang can take over Ningxia?" Chai Ke stopped beating around the bush, "Zi Tang, you are the old man. Northwest, from Datong to Yulin, for more than ten years, the Feng family has served the country in Jiubian for decades, and has worked hard and made great achievements. The court will remember it. The emperor specially summoned me before I left and asked me to tell you. I hope you will be well. Fight this battle well and live up to Feng Jiaying’s reputation..."
Feng Tang sneered in his heart, maybe he had to fight to the death, right? If you really want to fight this battle well, just Datong will send these ten thousand soldiers? There are tens of thousands of people in the capital camp, and only 500 people come? Of course, it is estimated that the emperor will not be able to mobilize the tens of thousands of Beijing troops.
"Master Chai, Master Yang, since Zitang is in the position of the commander-in-chief of Yulin Town, he will naturally serve with all his heart. Master Chai and Master Yang are in charge of the war. Zitang is also confident that it will be settled as soon as possible. However, this force is limited. If Xuanda cannot mobilize its troops, Come on, can some guardsmen be transferred from Henan and Sichuan to form a battalion for reinforcements? You two adults should also have seen the corrupt situation in Ningxia Town. If Gansu Town is as we guessed, the situation will probably be even worse... "
Feng Zitang answered easily and without any burden at all.
"As for Su Nang Taiji, this guy has been oppressed by Zalik and Sanniangzi for so many years. When Zalik died, Sanniangzi was ill for a long time, and the people below regarded him as the heir of Zalik and Sanniangzi. But Bu Shitu After staying in Xihai for so many years, he suddenly came back with a group of subordinates to seize the position. How could he be convinced? He also knew very well that the court always respected the right name. Bu Shitu was the eldest grandson, so he should naturally take over the position of King Shunyi. , but just give up the position, let alone him, even his subordinates will not agree..."
"What do you think is the relationship between Kuai Bai and Liu Dongyang and him since Tang Dynasty?" Chai Ke was patient. The old cunning man seemed to have noticed something and started to go around in circles, unwilling to get to the point.
"Let's make use of each other. Since the imperial court is unwilling to give him a good name, he feels that with his strength, he may be able to support a force that is willing to support and respect each other. In the case of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the north, Su Nang may have many more cabinets than our imperial court. I know better. Didn't I see him make a few casual moves, did Shanxi Town and Datong Town feel like they were facing a formidable enemy? The ten thousand people in Datong were also walking fast. If they were slower, I guess Governor Wang would have to detain them. Of course, even I don’t dare to look down on Su Nang. Before I saw his troops suppressing Jingbao and Yongji Fort, I also felt frightened. We at You Shigong’s Department would not dare to act rashly..."
Feng Tang pondered: "Master Chai, Master Yang, I know you want to solve the threat of Su Nang, but what conditions can the court offer? And when the situation has developed to this point, I am afraid that it is not enough to make an empty wish to Su Nang. , He can't stop now. If he wants to stop, it will take time, but do we have that much time now?"
"Since Su Nang can't stop on his own, we have to find external forces to make him stop." Chai Ke said solemnly: "Let Bu Shitu join forces with Zhu Litu and Zai Seng, and the court is willing to give them status and support. …”
"It's useless to unite them. Compared with Su Nang, they are too far behind. Most of the fortune telling rabbits are in the West Sea. He only brought back a part of his troops. Ji Li rabbit and Zai Monk are cunning and will not be easily fooled. "Feng Tang said casually.
"Two months?" Feng Zitang shook his head and laughed, "Master Chai, it's not that Zitang didn't trust the imperial court. From the time it was mobilized and established to the time when food and grass were ready and on the road, it took three months to reach the capital Amitabha. If you don't believe it, let's wait and see. Bar."
Chai Ke is also a little impatient. When you meet this kind of soldier, you can talk about any topic for a long time, but it doesn't follow the path you lead.
"Since Tang Dynasty, let's not mention this matter for now. I intend to send people out of the fortress to Hetao to contact Bu Shitu. I know that Yulin Town has connections with Bu Shitu, Zhulitu and Zai Seng here, so I want to promote the joint containment of the three parties. Su Nang,…”
Feng Tang's expression changed slightly, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he said hoarsely: "Since you have this intention, I will cooperate with you."
Chai Ke took a deep breath, "I intend to let Ziying and Long Jinwei's deputy Qianhu Zhang Jin enter the Hetao together..."
Feng Tang's face turned grim and he interrupted Chai Ke's words rudely: "Master Chai, do you want our Feng family to have no heirs? Ziying is just a commoner and has no responsibility to participate in military affairs. Who did this? The Feng family will be at odds with him!"
Yang He's eyes also twitched for a while. This guy seemed to doubt himself. But this made Feng Ziying go out, and he refused to say anything. Could it be that Chai Ke didn't think of it?
Chai Ke would have had a fit if any other general dared to talk to him like this, but today he knew that this matter was indeed a bit embarrassing, and he really had no choice but to endure it.
But after all, if you want to go to Hetao to meet Divining Stone Rabbit, Zhuli Rabbit, and Zai Seng, these are tribal leaders who have been on the grassland for many years. They are all characters who only value strength and benefits. It is difficult for ordinary officials to obtain their information. I am convinced, but Feng Ziying is undoubtedly the most suitable role.
“Since the Tang Dynasty, this matter has been of great importance,…”
"Master Chai, I understand your difficulties, but our Feng family has been guarding the border for decades, and only my father and son are left. My eldest brother died in the battle in Hulunse, and my second brother died of illness in Datong Town. Now you want to Isn’t it too much to let my only legitimate son go to the battlefield? If Ziying had one or two brothers, Feng would not complain. If Ziying had an heir, Feng would not say such evil things, but Feng has already There is such a son in fifty families, are you doing this to deliberately prevent our Feng family from having any descendants?"
Feng Tang’s eyes turned red.
He had already noticed something was wrong before, but he only thought that Chai Ke and Yang He were aware of the relationship between the Feng family and these tribes on the grassland, and wanted to take advantage of these relationships, or take the opportunity to blackmail them.
Feng Tang didn't care about this.
As the commander-in-chief, he has the right to maintain necessary contact and communication with the various departments outside the Great Wall. Not to mention the Mongolian right wing, he also has contact with the left wing and the Mongolian side of the West Sea. This is also the foundation accumulated by the Feng family for decades.
But he never thought that Chai Ke and Yang He would actually ask Feng Ziying to go out to contact Bu Shitu, Zhuli Tu, and Zaiseng. This was an act even worse than digging up ancestral graves, and it immediately angered him. If it weren't for the natural awe of military commanders towards civilian officials, he would almost have cursed.
"Father,…"
"Needless to say, I will never agree to this matter!" Feng Tang glanced at Feng Ziying fiercely. Chai Ke was also a little sullen at this time: "General Feng, state affairs are of paramount importance. Since Feng Keng is a subordinate of this officer, he has to do it by himself. Official arrangement,..."
"Oh?" Feng Tang's face also turned cold. "In that case, let Master Dechai make the arrangements. Why do you need to ask for my opinion? I still have military affairs, so I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he walked away.
Chai Ke was so choked that he couldn't breathe, but Yang He waved his hand and said, "Ziying, go and persuade your father first."
"Master Chai, Master Yang, my father is a little rude, please forgive me. I will go and persuade my father first. I believe he will be able to accept it when he calms down..." Feng Ziying also bowed her hands in salute.
