Chapter 128 Rejection of refuge
At this time, Tang Shengzhi commanded his First Army, Fourth Army, Seventh Army and Eighth Army, with more than 120,000 troops under his command. After sweeping Sun Chuanfang across Jiangxi, the troops headed straight to Nanjing.w w. vm)
Faced with the huge military expenditure of Qi Xieyuan's mercifulness, Fang Shaohua frowned. He pushed his glasses and looked at Yang Wei with a sad face and said, "Commander, this matter is not small. Based on my understanding of the military expenditure of the Qi army, I have never distributed so much military expenditure in so many years. I am afraid that something may be strange behind the matter."
"Or?" Yang Wei sneered: "Don't be so skeptical. He must have another idea of being so generous at this time."
Fang Shaohua pursed his lips, sang for a moment, and said, "But the General Qi army sent troops to support him. It is said that the large army has been dispatched and will arrive soon, which is considered support for the commander."
Yang Wei looked at Fang Shaohua for a long time, believing that with Fang Shaohua's ability, he should not be unable to see Qi Xieyuan's real purpose. Qi Xieyuan pressed behind him, and his target might not be the Northern Expedition Army. Qi Xieyuan's suspicious nature is even better than Cao Cao. Yang Wei had long seen Qi Xieyuan's distrust of him. He led his troops to the rear to force him to the front line. In this way, Qi Xieyuan and the Northern Expedition Army general Yang Wei were sandwiched in the middle, and Yang Wei had to fight if he didn't fight.
Qi Xieyuan wanted to learn from Wu Peifu's "retreaters will be killed without mercy", but he did not expect that Yang Wei would turn against him like Liu Zuolong. At that time, Qi Xieyuan and Yang Wei would face the enemy's Northern Expedition Army together with Yang Wei, and the lineup of the Northern Expedition Army will instantly change to the Northern Expedition Army and Yang Wei attacking Qi Xieyuan later.
The battlefield was unpredictable. Qi Xieyuan thought that his three divisions could force Yang Wei to death by expanding his army. However, only he knew Yang Wei's strength. Yang Wei was fully confident and did not even need to be dispatched by the Northern Expedition Army. With Yang Wei's own two brigades, Qi Xieyuan could not even touch the city walls of Hangzhou and wipe out the entire army.
Seeing that Tang Shengzhi led his troops to force Nanjing, it was a great opportunity for Yang Wei to join the Northern Expedition Army. At this moment, Yang Wei immediately prepared a letter in person, expressing his willingness to join the Northern Expedition Army to serve the country. Fang Shaohua took him to Nanjing to meet Tang Shengzhi.
The Northern Expedition Army is also at the forefront. In just a few months, it has been approaching Nanjing from Guangdong. The success or failure of the battle has been seen by everyone. Yang Wei's move to the Northern Expedition Army is a trend. After many bandit suppression and dispatching troops, Fang Shaohua was very confident about Yang Wei's strength. Tang Shengzhi had no reason to refuse such elite troops. However, when Fang Shaohua came to the place where Tang Shengzhi was stationed with enthusiasm, he was stopped outside the door by the guards. Fang Shaohua waited from the sunrise to the west until the sunset, and Tang Shengzhi always said that he was busy with official duties and had no time to receive him.
Seeing that the whole day passed like this, Fang Shaohua was not a fool, and had already seen that Tang Shengzhi didn't take them seriously at all. However, Fang Shaohua came with the task assigned by Yang Wei. He was anxious and angry in his heart and rushed directly to Tang Shengzhi's office using the excuse of borrowing the cottage.
When Fang Shaohua rushed over, Tang Shengzhi was burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the room.
After leading troops to fight for many years, Tang Shengzhi's only thing with him was the Buddha's silhouette. Whenever he was free, he would kneel in front of him and close his eyes and meditate. Before fighting, he would burn incense to ask for good or bad luck. This person highly praised the things of praying to gods and Buddhas and believing in divination, and he had reached the level of being obsessed with "infatuation".
At this time, Tang Shengzhi just opened his eyes and saw that the incense in the Buddha's niche was burning short and two long. His eyebrows were frowning together, and even cold sweat came out. He jumped up and leaned in front of the Buddha's niche and stared at the three incenses, and said anxiously: "Oh no, oh no, this incense hexagram is not good. It seems that this time the troops will probably fail!"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Shengzhi heard the noise at the door. When he opened the door, he saw Fang Shaohua who was fighting with the guard.
Tang Shengzhi was angry. Fang Shaohua was even more angry than Tang Shengzhi. He pointed to the Buddhist niche in the room through the crack of the door and whispered loudly: "Is this what the commander of Tang called a business?"
Fang Shaohua was extremely excited and his eyes were red. This look scared Tang Shengzhi, but he quickly reacted and said at the top of his voice: "What is the matter with you if the commander has anything to do with you? You are the staff officer under the commander of Hangzhou Garrison Yang Wei, right? He dared to shout in front of me even if he was a little arrogant."
When Tang Shengzhi mentioned Yang Wei's name, Fang Shaohua immediately calmed down a lot. After all, he came with Yang Wei's mission. He took two deep breaths and calmed down and said, "Shaohua is not interested. I hope the commander will forgive me. However, Shaohua came this time for our army to surrender to the commander of Tang. I hope the commander of Tang will give him approval."
Tang Shengzhi stared at the eyes and said, "Approval? Why should I approve it?"
After saying that, Tang Shengzhi rushed to the desk and brought Yang Wei's handwritten letter. He tore it to pieces in front of Fang Shaohua, and threw it in front of Fang Shaohua and said, "Qi Xieyuan is a miscellaneous army. You are not even as good as a miscellaneous army. Don't think I don't know. Two brigades were all pieced together. My Northern Expedition Army has a great momentum and a strong force. Why should you, the old, weak, and remnants?"
Fang Shaohua was dissatisfied with the words and said with a stalker: "What the Commander of the Tang Army knows is probably untrue. Our second brigade of the army has strong forces..."
Before Fang Shaohua could finish his words, Tang Shengzhi chuckled with extreme disdain and said, "Since the troops are strong, why do you do such a thing to turn against the enemy in the last battle? Let me tell you the commander, I will only accept unconditional surrender."
Tang Sheng was arrogant and arrogant, and did not take Yang Wei and Fang Shaohua seriously. He spoke extremely disdainful. Fang Shaohua became angry and pointed to the Buddha's silhouette in the room and said, "I didn't expect that asking for gods and worshiping Buddhas is the main business of the Northern Expedition Army. If this happens, even if I don't surrender to the Northern Expedition Army, I would like to keep such a matter of nothingness about gods and Buddhas on my lips. What is the difference between the fortune teller who asks for gods and fortune tellers on the streets and alleys? I'd just ask the monks from the temple to lead troops to fight."
Fang Shaohua was angry and said nothing. As soon as this was spoken, Tang Shengzhi was so angry that he was stunned. He was already in a state of depression because of the incense and burning hexagram, and he didn't expect that Fang Shaohua would dare to scold him in such a rude manner.
Tang Shengzhi waved his hand and said, "Come on! Pull me down and beat thirty military sticks. The two countries will fight for war and not beheaded. I will spare a junior boy once. Go back and tell Yang Wei to dry his neck and wait for death!" Bloody Mountains and Rivers 128
