Chapter one hundred and ninetieth Yamen discussion
On August 14, the army defeated the "Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong, "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai, "Chuang Taotian" Liu Guoneng, "Guo Tianxing" Zhang Tianlin, "Hun Tianxing" Hui Dengxiang and "Shoot Tatian" Li Wanqing in Anqing.
A coalition of bandits from six families killed Li Wanqing.
Xiong Wencan let the generals rest for a day, and then summoned the generals again on August 16 to discuss their achievements.
On the 16th, Li Zhi walked into the main hall of the Yamen of Anqing Prefecture and saw all the generals waiting there.
When the generals saw Li Zhi walking in, they all looked at Li Zhi. Li Zhi had made great contributions in this battle, and he had become the mainstay in the hearts of the generals, so he naturally attracted people's attention.
Huang Degong, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, walked up quickly, raised his hands and said to Li Zhi: "The guerrilla general killed everyone in all directions yesterday, and Huang Chuangzi was convinced. If the general hadn't defeated Luo Ru and waited for the thieves to come to the aid of the Chinese army, Huang Chuangzi would have died yesterday.
We are surrounded by bandits in the Great King Valley."
Li Zhi smiled, bowed his hands to Huang Degong and said, "It was only because General Huang took the lead and defended the position that we achieved this great victory. It was not Li Zhi's fault alone."
When Huang Degong heard Li Zhi's words, he raised his head and laughed loudly. He patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said, "The guerrilla general is a cheerful person. I, Huang Degong, am a friend of the general!"
Li Zhi said: "I am also willing to make General Huang a friend."
Huang Degong was very satisfied when he heard this. He raised his head and laughed loudly. He seemed to be very proud of Li Zhi's willingness to make friends with him.
Liu Yuanbin, the supervisor of the Beijing camp, came up and said: "The guerrilla general swept through thousands of troops yesterday, which is so majestic!"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Father-in-law, you deserve the prize!"
Liu Yuanbin laughed and said: "Yesterday, we were surrounded by bandit soldiers. We thought we were definitely dead. Who knew that the general rushed forward and killed all the bandit soldiers, and defeated all the more than 70,000 bandit soldiers? With the general's bravery, we can't believe it."
I have never seen this before." After a pause, Liu Yuanbin said: "The general has made great achievements this time, and a general or even a deputy general cannot escape!"
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "It depends on how the Prime Minister repays his credit!"
Liu Yuanbin smiled and said: "You can't run away, you can't run away no matter what."
Li Zhi said goodbye to Liu Yuanbin and was about to move forward when Fengsi Commander-in-Chief Mou Wenshou and Yunnan Deputy General Long Zaitian came up. When they saw Li Zhi, they bowed to the ground with great respect.
"Thanks to the guerrilla general's timely rescue yesterday, Mou would have died in the King's Valley otherwise!"
"The guerrilla general bravely defeated the three armies and saved 2,000 Yunnan soldiers from Yunnan. I, the dragon, defeated the guerrilla general with 2,000 Yunnan soldiers in Tiandai."
Li Zhi smiled and helped the two warriors up, and said: "Both of you are veteran generals. Such a great gift would offend Li Zhi!"
Next, Henan Deputy Commander Chen Yongfu, Xuzhou Deputy Commander Ma Huoguang and others came up and bowed to Li Zhi to thank him for his contribution to rescuing everyone yesterday. When they met a few days ago, these people also expressed their gratitude to Li Zhi because of his young age.
Even though he was a general, he was very disdainful of Li Zhi, and even suspected that Li Zhi had killed a good person and taken credit for it. Now that these people have seen Li Zhi's ability with their own eyes, and they all have sincere attitudes, how can they still have the contempt of the past few days?
Although Li Zhi didn't know these people, they all responded kindly.
Seeing the generals thanking Li Zhi, Chen Hongfan and Liu Liangzuo's faces were hot as they were defeated in the King's Valley, but they did not have the courage to go up and talk to them. They were defeated yesterday. Not only were they embarrassed, but they might also be punished by the Prime Minister. They would not be able to lead the army to retreat.
It can be said that the enemy suffered heavy losses and missed the opportunity to hunt down and defeat the enemy.
It would have been better if I had persisted for a quarter of an hour longer the day before yesterday.
But under the circumstances at that time, with the style of the two of them, how could they not run away?
Zuo Liangyu and his men stood at the front of the generals, looking at Li Zhi, but also did not go up to talk to Li Zhi. Although he guessed that the bandits would ambush him, so he disobeyed the Prime Minister's order and escaped from being surrounded by the bandits, but because of this
He lost the opportunity to defeat six families of thieves together with Li Zhi. Zuo Liangyu didn't know whether he was smart or not, and stood there feeling a little unhappy.
Especially after hearing that Li Zhi's troops defeated 30,000 bandits and defeated 15,000 bandits and cavalry who charged into battle, Zuo Liangyu was even more disappointed. This Li Zhi's combat power was too strong. Compared with him, his own
The reputation of a strong army is somewhat pale.
Zhao Zhu, the general behind Zuo Liangyu, looked even more embarrassed. He had offended Li Zhi by questioning Li Zhi in public that day by killing a good man and taking credit. At that time, he did not believe that a single guerrilla could kill six hundred thieves and horsemen, but he did not expect that
Li Zhi is such a ruthless character. Nowadays, no one disbelieves that Li Zhi killed an army of 600 horses. He jumped out and accused Li Zhi of killing a good man and taking credit for it. Now everyone regards his behavior as a joke. Seeing everyone
The generals gathered around Li Zhi to talk, while Zhao Zhu looked embarrassed and stood there feeling a little lost.
Everyone was standing in the main hall with their own thoughts, but they saw Prime Minister Xiong Wencan and Governor Zhang Guowei coming out.
Xiong Wencan searched among the crowd, found Li Zhi, and waved to him: "Here comes the guerrilla general. I have something to discuss with you!"
After saying this, Xiong Wencan walked into a main room next to the lobby.
Hearing Xiong Wencan's words, the generals' faces lit up with joy, and they all looked at Li Zhi expectantly.
You can also bargain with the Prime Minister. Even if there is a rule in the army that the salary of the head is divided according to the size of the official position, Li Zhi can also change this rule. You must know that it is the end of the Ming Dynasty where the war is raging, and whoever has the bigger fist will be justified!
Zuo Liangyu can move sideways with 6,000 soldiers and horses. Li Zhi has 8,000 strong soldiers, how can he make Xiong Wencan round and flat?
Li Zhi made up his mind and followed Xiong Wencan into the main room.
In the main room, there is a rosewood desk and a carved wooden chair. There are some official documents on the desk. It is obviously the place where Xiong Wencan handles correspondence on a daily basis.
Seeing Li Zhi coming in, Xiong Wencan stroked his beard and asked: "How many heads were captured by the guerrilla generals in this great victory?"
Li Zhi cupped his hands and said: "I captured and killed 600 cavalry on the road to Anqing. I captured and killed 1,800 cavalry in front of Zhang Xianzhong's camp. I fought against Luo Rucai's three bandits and captured 12,000. I defeated Zhang Kewang's cavalry and charged into battle and killed 6,000."
, chasing the bandits and gained another 3,500. In this battle, Li Zhi's 8,000 men captured and beheaded 24,000 bandits."
Li Zhi's words made Xiong Wencan take a breath of cold air. Although he had already known that Li Zhi had made a huge gain this time, Xiong Wencan was still shocked when he heard the specific figures. Li Zhi's troops are really powerful. These six companies
When a bandit meets Li Zhi, he is in bad luck.
Xiong Wencan said sarcastically: "Excluding the guerrilla general's gains, the other soldiers and horses killed a total of 13,000 enemies this time, which was only half of the guerrilla general's and his family's gains."
Li Zhi did not answer this sentence.
Xiong Wencan stroked his beard and said: "The guerrilla generals must also know the rules in the army. How about sharing the heads of the generals with other soldiers and horses this time?"
