Chapter 1013 Jizijuan Heroes of the Beijing Camp

Santun Camp is located in the northeast corner of Yongping Prefecture, and is also the most remote place in Qian'an County. It is located on the edge of the birthplace of Lihe River, a tributary of the upper reaches of Chaohe River, at the foot of the southern foothills of Lululing.

At the same time, the Henghe River flows out from the east and passes through Santunying to the north, and flows into the Luanhe River from the southeast.

Lulu Ridge is also called Luer Ridge. In the early Ming Dynasty, when Chang Yuchun left Zunhua, he passed through Luer Ridge and went north to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

 In fact, it is more appropriate to assign this place to Zunhua. It is less than 60 miles away from Zunhua, but more than 120 miles away from Qian'an, and 60 miles northwest of Xifengkou.

Santun Camp is not far from Jingzhong Mountain. On Jingzhong Mountain, there is Sanzhong Temple dedicated to Yue Fei, Zhuge Liang and Wen Tianxiang. There is also Bixia Yuanjun Temple, which is also a famous Taoist mountain in Jingdong.

To the north, a series of valley mouths, passes and main camps are located in the mountains such as Hongshankou, Longjingguan, Hanerzhuang, Panjiakou and Xifengkou. It can be said that the Ji Town General Military Mansion chose this place as its base with great pains. .

Although this is not a large county town, since the Ji Town General Military Mansion is stationed here, it naturally forms a small market town.

However, as the main force of Ji Town moved westward in the early stage, the place suddenly became depressed. Many of the craftsmen, female courtesans, and merchants who had long served several armies in Ji Town simply moved westward with the army of Ji Town, until Went to Zunhua, Jizhou and Pinggu.

But during this period, Santun Camp became lively again, even more lively than when the Ji Town army was stationed here.

Liu Guoquan staggered out of the house with a swollen belly. He stood on the front steps and looked at the sunset slowly setting in the west. He put one hand on his waist and used a toothpick to pry the flesh between his teeth. Silk burped happily.

This trip is really cost-effective.

 He originally thought it would be a chore.

He was extremely angry when Chen Jixian sent himself out, but now that Chen Jixian was favored by the emperor, he had no choice but to fight with the Ministry of War.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke actually accepted all the opinions of their group, saying that as long as they fought this battle well and passed this autumn, everything would be easy to talk about.

 It is estimated that the Ministry of War is indeed stretched thin.

The "Today's News" in the capital city has also been preaching all day long about the invasion of the Mongolian army. The more than 100,000 troops in the Beijing camp have been performing martial arts and showing off their power. It is time to fight a battle in order to show the majesty of the first army of the Great Zhou Dynasty - the Jingying camp. .

The city was filled with shouts and shouts. The officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp went out feeling proud and proud, but this was considered as setting the 140,000 people in the Beijing Camp on fire.

These words are all said nicely, and Liu Guoquan knows it well. It is one thing to perform martial arts in the school grounds every year, but it is another thing to go into battle with the Mongols.

In the 140,000-strong army in the Beijing camp, the officers don't even think about getting free pay. Everyone with some connections in the city wants to occupy a position here. They come here every day and do whatever they need to do at other times. , What a good thing, so working as an errand in the capital camp has become a hot spot in the capital city.

 Out of 140,000 people, are there 30,000 that can be beaten? In addition to the personal troops of the various commanders and generals, Liu Guoquan himself didn't know how many other armies could fight. It was probably the same for Chen Jixian.

On the contrary, Qiu Shiben's Shenshu battalion did not come out this time. It is said that there are still a few battalions that can be fought, but they were not sent out. It is said that the emperor felt uneasy and wanted to stay in the capital city to guard the palace for him.

In the end, there was no further push, and 80,000 people from the Fifth Military Camp and the Shenji Camp were pushed out. After returning from the promise of this war, even ordinary soldiers would receive thirty taels of silver. The officers It also increases in sequence.

As a lieutenant general like Liu Guoquan, he only needs to come and go like this. After the war is over, he will be rewarded with two thousand taels when he returns to the capital. If he wins the battle, there will be another reward.

Even so, Liu Guoquan was not willing to come before. After all, this was a war. Although the Jizhen Army was the main force, there would basically be no war. He just wanted to help out, but what if?

 But from the current point of view, this battle is worth fighting.

You Shigong is also an obedient person. As soon as he sat down there, he knowingly allowed him to choose his garrison position, and also gave a clear and clear introduction to the enemy situation in the entire Jizhen territory.

Shuntian Prefecture is the main direction of the Chahar invasion. Nowhere from Heihan Ridge to Malanyu is safe. Look at how almost all the main forces of Ji Town have been transferred to this line, and even the entire north of Yongping Prefecture. Once you give up, you will know how serious the situation you are facing is.

Of course Liu Guoquan would not join in the fun.

Among the 80,000 people in the Beijing Camp, the Fifth Army Camp and the Shenji Camp each accounted for 40,000 people. Except for the 10,000 troops led by Chen Jixian himself, the Fifth Army Camp threw out all the other ministries, and the Shenji Camp almost The entire army was dispatched. Except for one deputy general who stayed behind and sat in camp, the remaining 34,000 people plus 6,000 reserve troops made up for 40,000 people. It seemed that the troops were strong and strong, but no one knew what was going on inside.

This time the Beijing camp army went out for the expedition, with Liu Guoquan, the deputy general of the fifth military battalion, as the commander-in-chief, and Mu Tianyan, the deputy general of the Shenji camp, as the deputy commander-in-chief. Together with a group of generals and guerrillas, it was pretty decent.

So when they were asked to send troops to stay in Sanhe, You Shigong specially invited a group of people to discuss it. After all, Sanhe is too close to the capital city, which is too eye-catching. If you want to hang out here for a month or two until the Mongols withdraw It's hard to explain if you go outside the wall.

 So we discussed and discussed again and again, but there was no satisfactory result.

Going to Pinggu? We are also afraid that if the Chahar people break through the Huangsongyu area, they will really be asking for death.

Going to Miyun? Once the Chahar people chose to attack from the Chaohe River frontally, they would not even have time to escape.

Otherwise, we can only go to Huairou, but the wall on the Dashui Valley side is too close. Once the Chahar people break in from the Bohai Sea, they will take the initiative to come to the door.

 All in all, no place feels safe.

In the end, it was You Shigong who introduced that the Mongolian Eastern Route Army was composed of Inner Khalkha people. They had been found in the area from the mouth of the river to Taolinkou. It was estimated that they might break through from this line. The Jizhen Army will build The troops in Changying have moved westward to Taipingying, just to prevent the Inner Khalkhas from advancing westward after breaking through the pass.

However, You Shigong and others also analyzed that the Eastern Route Army composed of the Nei Khalkha people must be mainly focused on plundering and is unlikely to advance westward, because Yongping Prefecture was almost abandoned by Ji Town, and their main target will definitely be They are places like Qian'an, Lulong and Luanzhou.

 Everyone agrees with this point of view. What is the purpose of these prairie barbarians coming to the pass? Do they really want to fight the Zhou army? Isn't it just for Dazhou's Dingkou wealth?

It was finally possible to break through the barrier. Yongping Prefecture was unprepared, so of course we had to attack Yongping Prefecture.

 So in the end, everyone unanimously decided that the Beijing Camp would go to Santun Camp, where the General Military Mansion of Ji Town is stationed. You can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

Of course, it is impossible to advance and attack. As long as the situation is not right, we should immediately retreat to Zunhua in the west. Zunhua has a large army of Jizhen stationed there, and there is a battalion of Jizhen army in the Taiping camp to the east. If there is any disturbance, if you want to run, you can run in front of the Ji Zhen Army in the Taiping Camp.

The situation was as expected. The Inner Khalkha people really broke in from the mouth of the river and went straight to Qian'an. Now they were relieved. The Inner Khalkha people went to conquer Qian'an and conquered Qian'an. , I will definitely have to fight against Lulong, and maybe even Luanzhou or Changli. It won’t take more than a month or two, and it has nothing to do with me.

Thinking of this, Liu Guoquan burped again, stretched, and heard footsteps coming out of the yard.

"Sir, why don't you have a few more drinks today?" Xie Xian, the general, came out with the same face flushed and shaking his head, "I'm not having fun."

"Haha, the days are long. We don't know how long we have to stay here. We have plenty of time to eat and drink." Liu Guoquan and Xie Xian have a normal relationship, but they are incompatible with Chen Jixian, and they are both from martial arts backgrounds, so now they can be regarded as sharing the same hatred. .

"How about playing a game of mahjong later?" Xie Xian said with a smile: "I don't know who came up with this mahjong, but now I have no interest in throwing dice and pushing pai gow. I just like to play this. I made an appointment with Lao Han before. , Old Han lost 300 taels the day before yesterday and refuses to come back again. This guy is so petty, but yesterday I was invited to have a discussion."

"Who?" Liu Guoquan was also interested. Old Han was Han Shangyu, who was also a staff general of the Fifth Army Camp. He belonged to the Han family of Jinxiang Hou. That naturally refers to the generals from the Shenji Camp.

"Lao Qiu." Xie Xian smiled happily, "Lao Qiu is more addicted than me. He has been clamoring to play a game with us yesterday. He also called Master Chen Rui. I heard that Master Chen Rui is here. I came out with two to three thousand taels of silver, what do you think, sir, let’s put it all together and get some money from Master Chen.”

 Qiu Bingzhong, the head of the Qiu family of Marquis of Jingtian, and a branch of the Chen family of Chen Ruishi, Duke of Qi. However, this person actually found a princess who was good at dancing and was also famous in the capital city for his ability to make a living.

 “Where is Mr. Mu?” Liu Guoquan was a little surprised to see that Mu Tianyan was not there, “He also lost a lot the day before yesterday.”

"Haha, haven't you seen that Master Mu has been a little out of spirits these past two days? There are talents in this Santun camp. I was very angry when I saw the pink boy who was sent in, but we don't dare to argue with Master Mu. Xie Xian had a sly smile on his face: "I heard that he had a way out, so he cut himself off and wanted to enter the palace. Who would have thought that his patron in the palace got sick and died, and this line was broken, so he lived in exile?" Master Mu picked up a treasure here, which really makes me feel pity for him."

Liu Guoquan suddenly realized that it was no secret that Mu Tianyan liked this thing. He was well-known in the capital city, but because of the many wives and children at home, he did not dare to make it too public. This time he came out and got a chance.

Thanks to Positive Energy Bookworm, Wang Sanfen, Nickname Too Lazy to Name, Xie Xueshi, Van der Sar Yu Ai, Ai Piao Ren and many other brothers for their continuous rewards. Lao Rui can only insist on coding to repay.
