In order to make a great contribution, Su Jiakang did not hesitate at all, nor did he focus on his dissatisfaction with Diao Leixun. Instead, he immediately wrote back to Diao Leixun. In the letter, he expounded the pros and cons and asked Diao Leixun to do something.
The main force of the puppet Tang rebel army was entangled, and it didn't take him a few hours to rush over to reinforce Diao Leixun.
At the same time, in order to make Diao Leixun work harder and contribute to his own achievements, Su Jiakang did not show any dissatisfaction with Diao Leixun in his letter. Instead, he used many words of praise.
After receiving Su Jiakang's letter, Diao Leixun breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not chased the train of the puppet Tang thief army, otherwise he would have been in trouble, because Su Jiakang asked him to chase the main force of the puppet Tang thief army.
.
If Su Jiakang knew what he was thinking at this time, he would probably kill him with a knife. You gave me a damn multiple-choice question. In addition to letting you continue to chase the main force of the puppet Tang thief army, I can also let you go.
Why don't you use your brain to think about it!
He, Diao Leixun, a hereditary military general who had not read much, would naturally not be able to deal with the many twists and turns in the mind of a scholar like Su Jiakang.
Seeing that Su Jiakang did not blame him in the letter, but instead encouraged him to continue fighting bravely, he thought that his request for instructions was appreciated by Su Jiakang.
Diao Leixun, who did not know the specific thoughts of Su Jiakang behind him, excitedly led his men to pursue Li Xuan and others.
His idea was much simpler than Su Jiakang's: if the main force of the puppet Tang rebel army could be retained or even completely annihilated, then it would be a huge achievement.
Su Jiakang's expectation was that after severely damaging or even annihilating the main force of the puppet Tang thief army, it would be equivalent to abolishing the force of the puppet Tang Dynasty. By then, it would not be easy to completely wipe out the puppet Tang Dynasty and capture the puppet emperor Li Xuan.
.
What Su Jiakang wanted was to completely annihilate the puppet Tang Dynasty and conquer the rebellion, while what Diao Leixun wanted was victory on the battlefield.
Although the plans of these two people are not exactly the same, they are still walking on the same road. They both hope to retain the main force of the puppet Tang rebel army.
Diao Leixun looked at the sky. The sky was gloomy at this time, and it looked as if it would rain at any time. However, any local old man would know that the weather in the mountains is very weird, especially in summer. It is unpredictable at all. This kind of weather
Although it looks like a gloomy scene with an approaching heavy rain, there is no certainty as to whether or when it will rain.
Diao Leixun looked up at the sky, not to see if it would rain. He was estimating how long it would be before it gets dark. Looking at the situation, it should be at least two hours before it gets completely dark.
You must catch up with the opponent within these two hours, and then entangle the opponent through actual combat!
Otherwise, when it gets completely dark, there’s no telling where the other party will go!
"Send the order, let the forwards catch up, and then try to fight!" After hesitating for most of the day, Diao Leixun finally issued the first specific combat order.
There were two Baihu who acted as the vanguard, led by a deputy Qianhu, with a total strength of about 120 people. After receiving the order from Diao Leixun at the back, the deputy Qianhu, who was about fifty years old, used the help of others to listen.
The missing voice cursed: "Damn it, he knew he wanted us to die, but he was hiding behind him!"
You can tell from his expression that he is very dissatisfied with Diao Leixun!
Can you be dissatisfied with this? Last year, both Ying Tianhu and Diao Leixun were still the same Deputy Qianhu, and his qualifications were more advanced than Diao Leixun. Originally, after Zeng Ziwen was defeated and captured, according to the usual rules, if the imperial court did not parachute a Qianhu
If he came here and was promoted from Tong'an Qianhu Office, he should be Ying Tianhu who becomes Tong'an Qianhu.
However, that Diao Leixun took Su Jiakang's lap and relied on Su Jiakang's influence to snatch away this thousand households.
Now seeing Diao Leixun behind him looking greedy for life and afraid of death, but instead letting himself lead the forwards to charge forward to fight, Ying Tianhu felt quite unhappy.
However, the military orders were overwhelming, and no matter how dissatisfied Ying Tianhu was, he still did not dare to openly disobey the orders.
He immediately came forward with his two hundred households!
In fact, the distance between the forwards he led and the Huangzhushan bandits was already very close at this time. The straight-line distance between the two sides was only seven or eight hundred meters. This distance was basically the distance between two charges.
However, for the cold weapon army, the distance of only 700 to 800 meters is enough to give both sides a considerable buffer time.
Therefore, Li Xuan and the others in the front did not pay attention to the Ming army pursuing them behind them. If you want to pursue them, you can pursue them. I won't stop you, but you can't stop me if I want to run.
At worst, the two sides will just compete in leg strength!
When it comes to escaping, Li Xuan is very careful!
In a head-on confrontation, he might still be wary of the large number of Ming troops, but when it comes to running away, just run away, who is afraid of whom?
The bandits in Huangzhushan ignored the pursuers behind them and headed straight towards the mountain, making Ying Tianhu behind them very depressed.
The pseudo-Tang rebels in front were too naughty. They had just quickened their pace and tried to shorten the distance of seven to eight hundred meters to catch up. The pseudo-Tang rebels in front started to trot together.
When Ying Tianfu and the others were out of breath and slowed down in pursuit, the puppet Tang rebels in front also slowed down.
When Ying Tianfu and the others were too tired to walk and gave up the pursuit and stopped, those damned puppet Tang rebels also stopped to eat dry food and drink water.
In short, if the Ming army pursues them quickly, they will escape quickly. If the Ming army pursues them slowly, they will escape slowly. If the Ming army stops pursuing them, they will not leave either.
In Ying Tianhu's eyes, it looked like these pseudo-Tang rebels were deliberately playing tricks on them.
However, this was really not a joke by the Huangzhushan bandits, but an act of helplessness.
Ying Tianhu and the others were exhausted from chasing, and Li Xuan and the others who were escaping in front were as tired as dogs. In order to maintain their strength, they would naturally stop and rest for a while when the pursuers were not in such a hurry.
Along the way, the horses that Li Xuan originally rode were tired and panting, and could no longer carry Li Xuan forward quickly. However, someone soon led another horse that had good physical strength to Li Xuan, and asked Li Xuan to
Xuan changed his horse and started walking.
Except for Li Xuan, who was able to change horses and ride on them, no one else in the Tang Dynasty Wangshi had this treatment. It can even be said that except for Li Xuan, no one else could ride on a horse, not even Qian Meng.
For a long time, he could only ride a donkey!
After all, horses were very valuable in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the horses were in the army, and these thin and weak horses used as military horses were not very good. If they were ridden on the road at ordinary times, they would be useless when fighting.
used.
Therefore, during daily marches, whether it was Wang Shanxu and other officers of the musketeers or the thirteen cavalry, they actually led the horses and did not know how to ride on horses.
But Li Xuan is the emperor after all, so he naturally has treatment that others don't have. Even if his 'emperor' is a bit nondescript, he is still a serious emperor anyway.
Li Xuan is currently the second emperor in the land of Kyushu, besides the Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and is still alive.
Even among the many titles he was given by local officials in the Ming Dynasty, including Li Ni and Li Thief, the term "Pseudo Emperor Li Xuan" was occasionally used.
Just such a title is enough to dazzle countless rebels throughout the ages. Many of them have rebelled their whole lives and played for decades until they killed themselves. They have not been able to get the honorary title of 'false emperor'.
As for Li Xuan, he didn't have to work so hard at all. The Ming Dynasty awarded him the honorary title of "Pseudo Emperor".
It only took Li Xuan a few days to come to this world and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor on the way to escape.
The idea of accumulating grain and slowly proclaiming himself king was of no use to him, because he skipped the king and proclaimed himself emperor directly!
In comparison, Zhu Chongba seemed a little out of place. This cowherd boy had to be careful if he wanted to become a king, let alone an emperor.
How can the father and son of the Li family be so free and easy? The father had a dream and proclaimed himself emperor, and when the son woke up, he was put on a dragon robe and shouted long live.
From ancient times to the present, it is estimated that no rebel has been as straightforward as the father and son!
Since the Ming Dynasty recognized his status as a pseudo-emperor, to a certain extent, Li Xuan's status could barely be on par with that of Zhengde. After all, Li Xuan was the pseudo-emperor in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty.
Mr. Zhengde is still a false emperor in the eyes of the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty. They are all false emperors, and no one is much better than the other!
And although there is a huge difference in the strength of their dynasties, they are both monarchs of the same country. How can their dignity be distinguished by the size of the country and the number of people? They are all emperors, and no one is more noble than the other!
Based on the above, Li Xuan is fully qualified to ride on a horse during the march, and he rides two horses in turns, so he doesn't have to walk like Wang Shanxu and the others.
However, even if there are horses for transportation, riding a horse for a whole day is quite tiring, especially the inner thighs will be stinging or even abraded due to the friction during riding, so when the Ming army behind them stops,
, Li Xuan also dismounted and had a good rest.
At this time, Qian Mengjiu also walked up to Li Xuan, handed Li Xuan a bamboo kettle and said: "Your Majesty, I think those Ming army pursuers will not give up easily. If they continue to pursue like this,
, I’m afraid they can chase us all the way into the mountains!”
Li Xuan nodded slightly: "This is indeed a problem. It's not a problem to have them chasing you all the time!"
At this moment, Butcher Chen also came forward and said, "Your Majesty, how about we kill them in return?"
