Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 289
"The new wind is getting colder, and the clouds are flying thousands of miles into the sky; the grass is turning yellow, and the horses are galloping in battle. When you climb up and look far, your eyes are as wild as the south of the Yangtze River; from the tower, you see the barbarians in the north of the desert. Although the captives arrive, the scholars and the people Don't be alarmed; the heavenly soldiers are gone, why would the bandits be? Sealing the wolf to live in Xu, the old honor of the Huo hussars; Note: "Lianbao chasing the murderer" refers to the great contribution made by Ma Fang in the Battle of Wanquan Youwei in the 45th year of Jiajing. The place is called Malianbao. ]
"Gao Shidu, my Gao Shidu, you are so elegant!" Huang Mengyu hurried over with a group of brightly armored generals, and saw Gao Wushi standing on the tower of Desheng Fort, watching from a distance. To the north of the outer wall of the fort, the Tumochuan army camp, which stretches for more than ten li, is still doing Fu with Yixing Trent, really anxious and angry.

Seeing that Gao Wushi had already stopped his voice and looked back after hearing the words, he hurried forward anxiously, and said to the lifeless imperial envoy, "Master Gao, I have 2000 cavalry from the captive chieftain. Although this Desheng Fort last year It has been reinforced for a while, and it is barely strong, but after all, there are only more than [-] soldiers in the fort. Why do you come to such a ghostly place with your status? If you are really worried, just ask my old Huang to guard it. My old Huang is the guard of Datong, even if he dies here, he will die well..."

"Huang Zhenshou is loyal, and this imperial envoy will definitely tell your Majesty and Your Highness." Gao Wushi smiled: "However, in order to cooperate with Jianchuan Gong's strategy and Ma Zongrong's decision-making, this Deshengbao must have a card that can be played Only by being a decent person can you attract me to answer that the bandits will not abandon the siege. Although Huang Zhenshou has a high position and respect, he is not as good as I have the title of imperial envoy. It is safer for me to come here to lure the enemy in Deshengbao."

"I, Lao Huang, understand the truth. It's just that the war is fierce and dangerous. If you have any troubles, my Lao Huang..." Huang Mengyu's face has completely turned into a bitter gourd, and there is no need to say the following words. If something goes wrong with you, Gao Shidu, Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi are civil servants, and they will probably be fine. It is unlikely that the person who replaced him would lose his life.

But my old Huang is different!After all, my old Huang is just a servant of the emperor, and you are not only the nephew of Gao Ge and the companion of His Royal Highness, but now you even hold the title of imperial envoy. If something happens to you here, I, Lao Huang A head is really impossible to keep!
In front of the generals and officers stalking behind Huang Mengyu, Gao Wushi naturally couldn't say that his family's [-] riders in Shanxi were all concentrated in this Fort Desheng, and there would be no problem with personal safety.

This is really a highly pragmatic statement. You must know that although Deshengbao has at least [-] to [-] main forces in front of me, but Deshengbao is at the border of the Great Wall and will not be surrounded by me. If there is something wrong No matter what, this eight hundred riders with two horses can save himself and escape for his life.

Gao Shidu may be the more shameful kind of traveler, he has no confidence in his serious art of war command, and this kind of thing is not in the original history, so since he volunteered to take over the task of luring the enemy , Ninety percent of the ten percent of the preparation is how to run away in case something goes wrong, and there is no ambition to turn the tide and kill the Quartet.

However, the excuse Gao Shidu made for himself is quite sufficient: I am an administrator, so there is nothing wrong with doing Xiao He's business, you can't expect me to take over Han Xin's job too!If I had that ability, wouldn't I go to the wrong set when I traveled to Long Wan?I have to go to the Chongzhen Dynasty to suppress the bandits and the Empress Jin!
Although Gao Shidu played many strategy games back then, and "command operations" seems to be okay, but he knows that games are games after all, and even if the game is lost, it is nothing more than "Heroes, please start again", but it is serious Leading troops to fight is different. If one fails, it will really kill people!
Who knows if he is Huo Qubing or Zhao Kuo?
Even if you want to find a chance to give yourself a "basic test", it can't be the occasion of three thousand against sixty thousand, right?Under such a picture, characters like Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang are more suitable to appear on the stage, and he, Gao Shidu, will not join in the fun, and it is only reasonable to be honest and take precautions.

Then again, if the escape plan hadn't been studied by Gao Shidu again and again, and he felt that it was safe, how would he dare to come to the tower to show off and make a fuss about it?
Of course, although his escape plan was fully prepared, he didn't come here for his life after all, so he still had to do business.It's just that Gao Shidu, the deputy imperial envoy, was originally here to observe the government and had no power to interfere in military affairs, so at this moment he couldn't assign the defenders to do this or that, so he just changed the subject with a smile: "Guardian Huang, General Ma Can, Is the defense of Fort Desheng fully prepared at present?"

Although Huang Zhenshou did a good job in his job, after all, it is his job to supervise the army, not to lead the army in battle, so when he heard Gao Yushi's question, he just turned his head and looked at the horse general that Gao Yushi was talking about .

General Ma is Ma Wei, the general guarding Datong Beidong Road, a typical Mongolian general of the Ming Dynasty, with a round face, big arms, round waist and a little bow-legged.

But I want to explain here that many generals in ancient China seem to have the feature of "round waist" from the records. Even the statues erected by the people for them are not a so-called handsome man with "ape arms and wasp waist". When you see a "round waist", you think it is fat, but it is not.

The waist circle here is just a simple shape description, not a description of body characteristics, that is to say, the person's waist looks very powerful.According to the meaning of Long Ge, the master of Jeet Kune Do in later generations, for martial arts training, one must have sufficient waist strength. Ma Heyi" is the right way.

According to Gao Yushi's observations, whether it is Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang, or Ma Fang's adopted son Ma Weima, General Ma, all have this characteristic-the waist is round and not cumbersome, just like the beams and pillars in the palace.

Liang Zhu, oh no, when General Ma Shen saw Gao imperial envoy and Huang Zhenshou looking at him at the same time, he took a step forward in a calm manner, cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Return to the imperial envoy and guard, although Deshengbao has not many troops, but Almost all of them are veterans. It is impossible to go out of the city to kill thieves, but it is safe to hold on to the city. What's more, after Wang Jianchuan learned that Han Naji was asked to surrender, he immediately sent a large amount of supplies for the city defense, and allocated A batch of grain and grass and reward money, now the general army only asks us to stick to it, and the general will think that there is no danger in the end."
