Chapter 591 Confrontation with Sun Chengzong
The army was successfully formed in an instant, and they were nervously preparing to meet the possible enemy attack. But in the smoke and dust, what flashed was the military flag of the Ming Dynasty. The first person recognized the flag and wrote: Governor Jiliao, Sun.
The one who came was not the Jiannu who had gone and returned, but Master Guan Ningsun who came to the rescue personally with 50,000 cavalry.
Seeing the porcupine-like Dongjiang Town Fu Liao Army formation, Sun Chengzong immediately stationed his horse in front of the formation. Guan Ning, who was running, immediately stopped. His movements were neat and uniform, without any noise or confusion. It seemed that Sun Chengzong had achieved success in training Guan Ning's cavalry.
of.
The armies were confronting each other. Sun Chengzong looked at the formation with great interest and actually studied it carefully.
Mao Wenlong had never met Sun Chengzong, so of course he didn't know who this skinny old man was, so he shouted to the opponent in the formation: "Kill anyone who peeks into our formation."
Following his order, the 0,000 archers attached to the formation immediately shouted. The sound of pulling the bows and arrows and firing the bows made everyone's expressions change drastically.
At that time, King Xin immediately stopped Mao Wenlong's impulse: "That's Master Sun. Don't act rashly. King Gu goes to see him."
As a result, Mao Wenlong did not order the archers to relax. Instead, he grabbed Zhu Youjian who wanted to meet him: "You can't trust the king."
"Why?"
"Jiannu suddenly appeared in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. We judge that they came from Zunhua, but it is more likely that they came directly from western Liaoning."
With just this sentence, the expressions of the distinguished disciples surrounding Zhu Youjian and the civil servants who came for reinforcements changed drastically.
Mao Wenlong is right. If the enemy comes from western Liaoning, it means that Master Sun and Yuan Chonghuan have betrayed the country. Even if they come from Zunhua, it means that the country spends millions of annual military pay to raise the Guanning cavalry.
It's just a waste, and it doesn't even have the effect of suppressing the slaves. In fact, everyone still thinks of the good. In fact, more people have already thought, under the oppression of such a powerful army, why did the Jurchens of Houjin dare to raid the capital?
I don’t dare to think about the rest.
Mao Wenlong stared at the army on the opposite side, but tightly grasped Zhu Youjian's hand: "No matter what, I will never let you leave my formation."
Mao Wenlong's firm eyes made Zhu Youjian feel extremely safe, and his heart was touched by his sincerity. But his trust in Sun Chengzong made him gently push Mao Wenlong's hand away: "If in this world, I can't even see you
I don’t even trust Master Sun, so who else can I trust in this world?”
But Mao Wenlong still held his hand firmly: "I would rather kill 10,000 people by mistake than let you risk it."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Youjian felt Mao Wenlong's loyalty and care for him. In his opinion, for his own safety, Mao Wenlong was now a god who would kill gods and Buddhas.
Mao Wenlong didn't care what Zhu Youjian thought, but at this critical period, he really didn't dare to hand over this King Xin to others. He finally thought about it and shouted loudly to Sun Chengzong outside the formation: "If you want to prove your
Innocent, throw away the sword at your waist and come in alone."
This was definitely an insult to the real number one official of the Ming Dynasty today. The group of literati who knew Sun Chengzong around Mao Wenlong began to look at Mao Wenlong with strange eyes.
Mao Wenlong fought with all the ministers. With his sharp tongue and his recklessness, he could win. But in fighting with this man, failure is doomed. There is absolutely no second option, because the emperor will not do anything.
He stood behind Master Sun without hesitation, but would never stand for Mao Wenlong, and the emperor's lackey Wei Zhongxian would definitely fall out with Mao Wenlong immediately and would never help him.
And everyone is happy to see that Mao Wenlong has completely offended Master Sun this time. Now he has offended him, who was originally a small military officer, and because no matter how you look at it, Sun Chengzong, the commander of Ji Liao,
In charge of this little commander-in-chief, everyone has seen countless pairs of little shoes coming happily from the horizon.
Regarding this almost humiliating request, Sun Chengzong was not as angry as everyone imagined. Not only that, but he also nodded immediately: "You are indeed loyal to the emperor and serving the country, very good, I am very happy." Then he took off the sword from his waist.
He came down, threw it to the ground, turned over and dismounted, and walked proudly towards Mao Wenlong's military formation.
Before receiving orders from Mao Wenlong, rows of forest-like spears were pointed directly at Sun Chengzong. In the eyes of these soldiers, they only recognized the commander, and the rest were bullshit.
"Get out of the way." Just when Sun Chengzong's nose was about to hit the tip of the spear, Mao Wenlong's military order was issued in time. Otherwise, it would be an embarrassment to have a stubborn old man on one side and a soldier who had no doubts about executing the military order.
ending.
The soldiers immediately dispersed through a passage. Sun Chengzong walked in without looking at anyone. He walked directly in front of King Xin and knelt down in accordance with the courtesy of a courtier: "Your Majesty Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, the rescue came late. It is a capital crime."
.”
Zhu Youjian quickly grabbed Sun Chengzong and said, "Master Sun is too worried. How dare Xiao Wang be a gift from Master Sun? Get up quickly."
But when he pulled, he didn't pull, so he had to look at Zhang Zhiji. Zhang Zhiji didn't dare to step forward, so he looked at Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong didn't want to pull him at all. In his heart, Sun Chengzong had nothing to do with what happened today.
You can't touch him, and you don't want to touch him, but letting him kneel down for a while is the appropriate punishment.
Sun Chengzong seemed to feel Mao Wenlong's injustice and hostility. He sighed in shame, stood up after performing the full salute according to the rules, and after talking to King Xin for questions and answers, he turned to Mao Wenlong and said: "Mao Shuai, right? I am guilty."
, of course I will ask for punishment from the Holy Spirit, but here I will first ask for forgiveness from Marshal Mao."
This attitude was beyond Mao Wenlong's expectation, and he was at a loss at that time.
In terms of guilt, of course Sun Chengzong was guilty, because according to the planned jurisdiction, Fengrun was within the jurisdiction of Governor Jiliao, and if King Xin was attacked here, Sun Chengzong would certainly be held responsible.
However, it is okay to say that he is not guilty, because the Jiannu detoured from Duoyan Mongolia and came from the Great Wall in the north. The Zunhua General Soldier on the Nine Sides considered it a serious crime. Therefore, as long as Sun Chengzong shirks his responsibility, he will no longer be responsible. And like this
Whether it is Donglin or the cabinet, the most important thing is that the emperor and King Xin must be happy to agree with it. After all, Sun Chengzong is half of Donglin, a capable minister recognized by the cabinet, and the emperor's most trusted teacher. No one in Liaodong can replace him.
Even after knowing that this was not Sun Chengzong's deliberate indulgence, even Mao Wenlong did not want to touch the only military strategist who could take charge of Liaodong, not a nerd.
But he really didn't expect that Sun Chengzong would say this, plead guilty to himself, and prepare to plead guilty to the court. This is a man who has the courage to take responsibility.
King Xin laughed at this moment: "Generals should communicate more with each other, but the misunderstanding should be gone now. Marshal Mao, please lift your guard."
The embarrassment was revealed like this. Mao Wenlong gave an order and the 10,000-strong army returned to normal in the blink of an eye. Such speed of action made Sun Chengzong sigh. The Fu Liao Army in Dongjiang Town was really able to challenge Jiannu.
His capital, Guan Ningjun, is not as good as it is."
At this time, Mao Wenlong stared at Sun Chengzong reluctantly and asked seriously: "Master Sun, did you know in advance that Jiannu was raiding the capital?"
Sun Chengzong solemnly replied: "I led the army to Ningyuan to prepare for the military parade. Facing the Jiannu slaves on the east bank of the Liao River, I also stepped up my guard and sent out spies constantly to detect the movement to prevent them from coming out to cause trouble during my military parade. The result was that everything was business as usual.
, there was no news that the Jian Nu were peeping, but I didn’t expect that they would actually take a detour to Mongolia, the Mongolian Duoyan tribe, it’s really abominable.”
Mao Wenlong sneered and said: "The Mongols are not hateful, but those who are spying are hateful. Liaodong is such a big place, it is such a big place, tens of thousands of troops are dispatched, or the main force of the Two White Banners is dispatched. Is it possible that there is no trouble at all? This is absolutely impossible.
Maybe, if so, did someone deliberately conceal the results of the spying?"
When he was told this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but murmur in a low voice. Mao Wenlong's suspicion was not unreasonable. With such a large-scale military deployment, he deliberately targeted them to spy on them, but there was no sign of any news. This is absolutely impossible. The only explanation is,
As Mao Wenlong said, someone is deliberately concealing it. Why conceal it? Shouldn't they just let the main force of the slave establishment go east in a detour in the hope that the pressure in front of them will be reduced?
Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but tremble.
But after taking a look at the aggressive Mao Wenlong, he could only say in pain: "I have been busy all day, maybe I have neglected these things, I will plead guilty to myself."
Now that Sun Chengzong has taken this matter on himself, Mao Wenlong has nothing to say, but his goal has been achieved. Sun Chengzong will no longer trust Yuan Chonghuan unprincipled. The rift between them appeared just because of his words.
Well, I hope that from now on, Sun Chengzong can take a good look at that guy who does whatever he wants for merit and specializes in speculation.
With such a dark mentality, Mao Wenlong then took a step back and closed his mouth.
Sun Chengzong also dropped this topic, and after asking for King Xin's opinion on continuing the military parade, he and Mao Wenlong handed over King Xin's guards and took back his two thousand King Xin's retinue, so the two parted ways. If Mao Wenlong still sent two thousand to return to Liao at this time,
If the army follows, then it is really a blatant distrust of Sun Chengzong, and the consequences will definitely be serious. It will offend everyone from the emperor to the entire Guan Ning, which means the gain outweighs the loss.
As a person, you need to know how to advance and retreat. Once you have shown your loyalty, there is no need to do it any more. If you do it any more, it will be counterproductive.
King Xin and the little fat man continued their military parade on the front line under the protection of Sun Chengzong. Mao Wenlong led the troops in two groups. Chen Zhong, who came all the way, led the navy with Mao Zhongming, and took King Xin's handwriting to Tianjin to take over the defense.
