Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 408

Gao Guiying and Li Yan strongly objected to Lin Yi asking Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie to lure the enemy, including Song Xiance.

But in front of the generals, they were not easy to speak, and when they dragged Lin Yi to a place where no one was around, they expressed their opinions.

Although Zuo Liangyu is brave and good at fighting, he is brave and resourceful, but like He Renlong, he was an escaped general at the beginning. When he fought Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, he could only win the battle. If they lost the battle, they would choose to run away. Strength is even a wait-and-see attitude.

Especially this Gao Jie, he is not a good bird, he and Li Chengdong are both people who see profit and forget righteousness. At the beginning, they and Li Zicheng were born and died, just like brothers, friends' wives should not be bullied, but he kidnapped Li Zicheng's wife, He can betray Li Zicheng, and one day he will surely be able to betray Li Zicheng.

In other words, the character of these two people is low and cannot be reused. Now Lin Yi has a lot of generals, and there are many people with both wisdom and courage, such as Zu Keyong, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Gao Yigong, etc. It is not that there are no generals. Talent, why should they be sent to lure the enemy?
Moreover, Li Yan and Gao Guiying also said that during this period of time, when they called a military meeting, Gao Jie didn't come at all, and he only lived in his own camp, which was obviously incompatible.The reason why he came this time was probably because Master Jian Guo was here and he dared not come.

Lin Yi nodded after hearing this. Of course, Lin Yi knew the past and present lives of Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie.

Lin Yi laughed after hearing this, "Gold has no feet and no one is perfect, so don't mention the past. If the two of them can lure the enemy successfully this time, the prison country will still reward them, but if it's the other way around, it will be inevitable Severe punishment will not be negligent."

As Ji Dong spoke, a ruthless look appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he called for someone to come.

Ma Luan came in, bowed deeply and said: "The commander of Jinyi Guards makes Ma Luan take care of your lord."

This person is Ma Shiying's son, because he is good at martial arts, Lin Yi picked him out of the army and took him with him, and let him take charge of Jinyiwei temporarily.

Historically, after the founding of Nanming, Ma Shiying took control of the government, and his son Ma Luan played the role of Jinyiwei.Just now that Jinyiwei lacked suitable candidates, Lin Yi temporarily appointed him as the commander of Jinyiwei.

Lin Yi brought a special force this time. This is the elite team of Jinyiwei, led by Ma Luan, the leader of Jinyiwei, and 500 Jinyiwei are at Lin Yi's disposal at any time.

Lin Yi wants to strengthen the information and intelligence system, not only to collect information about the enemy, but also to grasp the ideological dynamics of the military, Chinese and military.

When it comes to Jinyiwei, some people turn pale.But Lin Yi told them that as long as they are loyal, loyal to Daming, and loyal to him, the supervisor of the country, the factory guards will definitely be harmless to humans and animals.

Therefore, Lin Yi did not shy away from it at all. In front of Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance, he said to Ma Luan, "Zuo Liangyu's camp and Gao Jie's camp are going out of the city to lure the enemy tomorrow. Send someone to take care of them." .”

"No." Ma Luan understood Lin Yi's meaning, agreed, saluted and withdrew.

Then Ji Dong brought in Zhang Hua, the leader of the guard who was on duty outside.

"Zhang Hua takes care of your lord."

"Call me the two commanders of the Standard Battalion and the Invincible Battalion."

"No." Zhang Hua promised, made a salute, turned and left.

Not much time, Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng came in to salute.

Zu Keyong is now the commander of the standard battalion and the commander of the Dongsheng Invincible Battalion. This is an elite brought out by Lin Yi at the Sanchakou guard.

Dongsheng is no longer the timid boy who was 20 or [-] years old. He has also trained with Lin Yi in the past few years. The young man is in his [-]s. He is very brave in combat and has rich experience. He has made many military exploits over the years and has grown into a A young general with great potential, otherwise Ji Dong would not have handed over the Invincible Battalion to him.

"Tomorrow, General Zuo and General Gao will go out of the city to lure the enemy. If the Burmese elephant army appears, the camel team will deal with them. Your two battalions should also be ready to wipe out the enemy. Not tomorrow, but tonight."

"No." Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng looked at each other, and then they took orders and left.

Now Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance have figured out Lin Yi's intentions. Let them lure the enemy. defense?Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance let out a sigh of relief.

However, Ji Dong is not just on guard this time, because he has already read a little taste from the eyes of Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie when he received the order. The soldiers under him will take the initiative to invite Ying, and it is intentional for Lin Yi to send them alone. Yes, it's just that some things can only be felt, not expressed in words.

"If something happens tonight, the three of you will be in charge of the city defense."

"Promise." Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and Song Xiance said in unison, and Lin Yi's intention became more obvious.

After Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng took the order, they immediately ordered the soldiers of the Standard Battalion and the Invincible Battalion not to leave their armor and horses to unload their saddles tonight.

Of course, the two of them understand Ji Dong's intentions. It seems that there may be a major military operation tonight. These two generals are also intelligent people. They have followed Ji Dong for many years. They must not ask more when they should not ask. Sometimes a glance is enough. I can understand Ji Dong's meaning.

Gao Jie returned to his camp, this was the first time he had participated in such a meeting since he joined Gao Guiying's battle order.

It was really because Lin Yi presided over the meeting himself. After receiving the order, he dared not not come, but he was indeed a little reluctant for today's order, because he knew that Sun Kewang's men were too difficult to deal with.

Of course, Gao Jie knew the Daxi Army very well. When he was a thief in the early years, under Li Zicheng's command, they had cooperated with and fought against Zhang Xianzhong's men.Sun Kewang is one of the most difficult people under Zhang Xianzhong to mess with, and he is also the mainstay of the Daxi Group.It is not trivial to go out of the city to lure the enemy.

Just after returning to the commander's tent and sitting firmly, his generals Li Chengdong and Xu Dingguo came in.

These are two of his confidantes. Xu Dingguo used to be the chief soldier in Shanxi, and later served under He Long. He was bound in the tent to be killed.

People under the eaves had to bow their heads. He Renlong didn't dare to resist, but Lin Yi was not a person who would be submissive. In a fit of rage, he made a big fuss in the army tent, broke through the siege and rescued He Renlong as well.

From then on, He Renlong followed Lin Yi, but all the thousands of soldiers under He Renlong belonged to Gao Jie, including Xu Dingguoyu and Li Chengdong, all of them became Gao Jie's subordinates.

Especially Li Chengdong, he is also from Shaanxi like Gao Jie, and he was also a thief under Li Zicheng back then.Gao Jie abducted Li Zicheng's wife Xing, and Li Chengdong, as Gao Jie's close buddy, also betrayed Li Zicheng and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with Gao Jie.

"My lord, Jian Guo asked us to go out of the city to lure the enemy. I don't know what your lord's plan is."

"Hey." Gao Jie sighed and asked the two of them what should they do?
Li Chengdong said: "My lord, please turn your back to the left and right."

Gao Jie waved his hand to the outside, and all the serving soldiers withdrew.

Li Chengdong looked at the gate of the account, still not at ease, and then returned to Gao Jie's side.

At this time Xu Dingguo spoke first: "My lord, this time is no small matter. Going out of the city to lure the enemy is definitely a narrow escape. The one surnamed Lin left his direct line troops unused. He wants us to be cannon fodder."

Li Chengdong also spoke, "Dingguo is right, my lord, my subordinates suspect that Gao Guiying, Li Yan and Song Xiance have slandered Mr. Jianguo. These people are thorns in our eyes and flesh, and we want to get rid of them." Then quickly, in the opinion of my subordinates, we need to discuss the matter of luring the enemy tomorrow."

Gao Jie shook his head like a rattle, "Tingzhen, Dingguo, what you two said is reasonable, why didn't Gao know it? However, it is the order of the Lord Supervisor to lure the enemy tomorrow. If you don't go, you will be targeted by everyone. What can I do?"

Xu Dingguo was courageous, and whispered: "Sir, why don't we surrender to Sun Kewang, anyway, we can't make a name for ourselves here, with Gao Guiying and his gang here, Master Jian Guo believes in them. I wish to leave the city quietly for a while." Let’s see Sun Kewang with his sharp tongue. If Sun Kewang agrees to us, we will cooperate from inside to outside, break through the city, capture and kill Lin together, and the Qing emperor will help Daming."

Xu Dingguo in history was a surrendered generation. He was an official before Chongzhen at the beginning.

After Chongzhen hanged himself, the Qing army went south, Xu Dingguo handed over his son to Prince Yu Duoduo as a hostage, and became a shameful traitor.They held a banquet to lure Gao Jie to death, causing Shi Kefa to thump his feet and beat his chest: "There is nothing to be done in the Central Plains, and the affairs of the state will be ruined by Xu Thief."

Now the nature of Xu Dingguo's surrender has been exposed, and the root cause is fear of death.

"Not right." Gao Jie shook his head. When it comes to surrender, it's not like he hasn't thought about it, but he didn't dare to take such a step lightly after all. The anti-Daming this time is completely different from the anti-Li Zicheng back then. It wasn't a kidnapping of a woman. It's a simple matter of patting your ass and leaving.

Right now, his battalion has no more than five or six thousand soldiers, how dare he openly fall out with the Ming Dynasty?Even Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo didn't dare. She, Gao Jie, is not an idiot, and she doesn't want to be such an early bird.

So Gao Jie thought for a while, "Sun Kewang is a treacherous person, and Dingguo's departure will definitely be regarded as a trick to surrender. Not only will it not help the matter, but he will also suffer harm."

Xu Dingguo did not dare to speak any more after hearing the words.

At this time Li Chengdong spoke, and smiled cunningly, "Your Excellency, don't worry, there is a certain strategy."

"Tingzhen, Ji Jiangan will come out?"

Tingzhen is Li Chengdong's name.

"My lord, who is Zuo Gong Liangyu?"

Gao Jie looked at Li Chengdong's elusive face.

Of course Gao Jie knew about Zuo Liangyu.Zuo Liangyu is stronger than him, compared to Gao Jie and Li Chengdong, Zuo Liangyu is of course an old senior.

He worked under Yuan Chonghuan, and later Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong were favorite generals under Chongzhen's subordinates. Their official positions soared all the way, and they became Prince Taishi Ning Nanbo.

But this person was aggressive, arrogant and domineering, and later, like He Renlong, he was a mercenary who respected himself and refused to listen to the court, so Gao Jie knew that Zuo Liangyu was not favored by the court, and the high officials and rich salary he received were all a way to appease him.

Li Chengdong smiled slyly, "My lord, at this critical time, my lord and Mr. Zuo share the same fate, why don't you discuss with Mr. Zuo?"

Gao Jie understood, and laughed, "Ting Zhen is right," he shouted to the outside, "Come here, arrange a banquet, the richer the better, Gao is going to treat Mr. Zuo to drink tonight."

"No." The subordinates promised to make arrangements.
