Chapter 33 Aid Yangzhou (for collection)
Chang Wei was overjoyed when he saw that Xiao Qi had no objection to leading troops to help Yangzhou!
With a wave of his hand: "Time is short, I can't wait to prepare military rations for you. I have ordered someone to withdraw 2000 taels of silver. General Xiao can buy military rations on the way!"
Xiao Qi thought to himself, who the hell is spending such money.
The fact that I am being sent out is definitely not a formal transfer of troops. In this case, at most, the top officials on both sides have a good relationship and send people to help in private. All expenses on the way will be borne by the side being helped.
In order to let him go quickly, Chang Wei sent both the carriage and the money, and the money definitely did not come from the bank.
Chang Wei was instructed by whom to make such a large capital.
However, he did not hesitate and immediately ordered his troops to break up camp and prepare to set off.
Seeing that Xiao Qi only raised his doubts, Chang Wei didn't say any more, and obediently took orders to prepare, and he was very happy in his heart.
When I came here, I was still worried that this kid was being valued by the emperor and was serious with me, so I really didn't dare to do anything to him.
Not long after, 2000 taels of silver and ten carriages were delivered.
Xiao Qi's side was almost ready, knowing that Chang Wei was not a good bird, Xiao Qi didn't talk nonsense with him, and said goodbye to this guy directly, and took his 500 people out of the camp to Yangzhou.
There was no pause all the way, and Xiao Qi didn't send an order to rest where he was until [-] miles away from the boundary of the Health Mansion.
He sent someone to invite the two captains and generals. After they were invited, Xiao Qi directly took out 1000 taels of silver:
"Both of you have heads. All the generals, there may be a big battle when rushing to Yangzhou this time. I planned to take out 1000 taels of silver and distribute it to everyone to boost morale first."
The first of the two is named Lin Zheng, and the other is named Zhang Jiangong.
The two of them thanked Xiao Qi first, and then asked: "Why did General Xiao say this?"
In their opinion, they are there to help. If the situation is not right, they run away first and others can't say anything.
Xiao Qi looked at the two captains and the ten generals: "We are already one, so we should speak clearly about what is in our hearts.
I suspect that rushing to Yangzhou this time will not be easy. Think about it, Chuzhou is only a hundred miles away from us.
We didn't send anyone to help when the city of Chuzhou was broken. This Yangzhou is [-] miles away from the Health City, and it hasn't been attacked yet, so we ordered us to rush to help.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! "
Lin Zheng's childhood name is Shitou. This person's personality is as tough as his nickname, and he can't be tactful.
Immediately said: "What General Xiao said is very true, and the humble officer has always found it strange. This military order is inexplicable!"
Seeing that the others also nodded in agreement, Xiao Qi said directly: "We will lead the army to fight against gold, and we will fight wherever we go.
It's just that when I didn't want to defend the enemy in front of the formation, I was stabbed in the back.
Everyone, take this 1000 taels of silver and share it with the brothers outside, and tell them to be smarter.
Everything must be done according to orders, and don't be fooled by others. "
These people carried the two boxes containing 1000 taels of silver and went out to distribute the money.
As for the remaining 1000 taels of silver, Xiao Qi doesn't want to keep it by himself, but you lead troops to fight.
You must have hard goods in your hand, otherwise when the brave sergeant needs a reward, it will be bad if you don't have something in your hand.
There was a burst of cheers and thunder outside, and the shouts of thank you to General Xiao continued.
Xiao Qi understands that the best way to boost the morale of soldiers in this era is to give them extra money.
As for issuing military orders, it will definitely work, but if you give them extra money, then issuing military orders will be very effective.
After getting up and going outside, Xiao Qi stopped the soldiers who wanted to thank them in person, stood in front of them and shouted loudly:
"Fellow soldiers, we have entered the boundaries of Yangzhou Prefecture, and we are ordered to help defend Xinghua County.
But I was worried that if I waited there, the defenders in the city would either run away, or they would not dare to open the city for us.
No matter what situation we encounter, a battle with Jin Bing is inevitable, since there will be a battle eventually.
All of you should keep in mind the training regulations for these days, and don't get confused.
Also, no matter what the position of the retreating commander is, don't listen to his command, the defeated general is not worthy of commanding us!
Since we have already set off for the expedition, we also need a name. From today on, we are the Changsheng Camp of the Song Dynasty! "
The [-] sergeants yelled, it was not because Xiao Qi told them that his battalion was called the Changsheng battalion.
At that time, there were too many teams named after things like Changsheng and Mighty.
It was Xiao Qi who said that the defeated general was not worthy of commanding them, which made these people's blood boil.
At this time, the Huotou army also distributed the marching rations and pickles cut into small pieces, and distributed the rations for several days again.
When everyone was eating, Xiao Qi told them in detail about some problems they might encounter.
The most important thing is that it is very likely to encounter defeated soldiers who are being chased on the road.
Xiao Qi told everyone that if they see the enemy troops forming a formation immediately, if the defeated troops do not disperse to both sides, they will rush straight to the formation and be killed without mercy!
This is also what Xiao Qi needs to guard against in the battle formation mastery. Once he is merciful, his own formation will be disrupted by his own rout.
What awaited them was the fate of being massacred like those rout soldiers.
While these sergeants were eating, Xiao Qi reiterated all the important things that need to be done when facing the enemy.
After everyone finished eating the marching rations in their hands, they rested for a while, and immediately ordered to rush towards Xinghua County.
These 500 people passed through tens of miles away from Yangzhou City, and had no intention of going to Yangzhou City at all, but went straight to Xinghua County.
The officials in Yangzhou City were also stunned after hearing the spies' report. They did not expect that Jiankang Mansion actually sent a battalion of troops.
I originally thought that those people would come back to Yangzhou City to put on a show, get enough benefits and find an excuse to run away.
Who knew that they went directly to Xinghua County, but it was a bloody Song army.
It's a pity that the guards in Xinghua County have already planned to give up defending the city and return to Yangzhou City. I hope they can go back to garrison Xinghua City together after meeting halfway, and don't go back to Yangzhou to cause chaos.
Xiao Qi led their team, and when they were twenty miles away from Xinghua City, they saw a lot of carriages pulling the whole family, and the young and old who could be taken away, fleeing from the direction of Xinghua.
After catching a coachman and asking him, he found out that the garrison in Xinghua County had been taken over by a general who had retreated from Chuzhou.
Moreover, they are searching for money in Xinghua City, saying that they can't leave it to Jin Bing and have to take it away.
They ran out early when they realized something was wrong, and those who ran later would inevitably be exploited.
Xiao Qi was furious when he heard this, what the hell is this Song army, this is obviously the vanguard of the Jin soldiers who came to loot!
Let the coachman go and let them retreat to Yangzhou City quickly.
He turned his head and shouted to the sergeants standing behind him: "When you meet Xinghua's retreating soldiers, kill anyone who dares to come to trouble!"
