Volume 1: Young Eagle Chapter 391: Crossing Chishui

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chishui is located in the northwest of Guizhou, and its downstream flows into Sichuan. It is named after the red color of the river water.  There are many cliffs on both sides of the river, and the water is very fast, so it is not easy to cross the Chishui River.  Standing by the Chishui river, Sun Tingting's brows were slightly furrowed, and behind him were several generals.  Everyone had a smile on their face and it was obvious that they were happy.  Since coming to Sichuan to suppress the rebellion, they have made many military exploits and are thinking about what kind of rewards they can get.  Now we are about to have a decisive battle with the rebels, but I don¡¯t feel any nervousness in my heart. Instead, they are all discussing what will happen after the meritorious service.  Listening to the discussion of the generals behind him, a smile suddenly appeared on Sun Chuanting's lips, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Chuanting was in a good mood.  Although the rebels are powerful, Sun Chuanting has nothing to worry about. After all, his men are not free!  Looking back at the generals, Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "The scouts have been searching for thirty miles along the river. This is the most suitable place to cross the river. After crossing the river, we can reach Dafang in half a day. But our crossing does not seem so easy!"  Sun Chuanting looked towards the other side, where scattered cavalry had appeared.  Although Sun Chuanting said this, the generals did not see anxiety on Sun Chuanting's face, nor did he feel anything in his heart.  I really don¡¯t know what the rebels are thinking if they want to prevent people like them from crossing the river.  "Sir, you don't want those low-level officials to be happy. We can go over before the rebels come. Isn't there a pontoon bridge on the river? Let's just go over!" A general stood up with a smile on his face.  There was a bit of flattery on his face and he spoke respectfully.  Slowly shaking his head, Sun Chuanting said meaningfully: "No, it's okay for people to just walk on that pontoon bridge, but now you can't pass people on it. Let people repair it, and then our troops will go over." Several generals  They glanced at each other, and no one knew what kind of medicine Sun Chuanting was selling in his gourd.  There is a pontoon bridge here. It seems to be quite old and it does not look very strong.  But now the river is very wide, and you can vaguely see the other side, which is probably half a mile wide.  If we don't get there quickly now, it may be too late when the rebels arrive.  Sun Chuanting had a smile on his face. It was indeed too late now, but who knew if there was an ambush on the other side?  If you wait until you are halfway across the river and are attacked by surprise, then you will lose more than you gain.  The generals didn't seem to agree with Sun Chuanting's actions. One person quickly stood up and said with a very serious expression: "Sir, the bridge on Chishui River is there. If the rebels destroy the bridge, we won't be able to cross!  We should go directly before the rebels react." After looking at the people who stood up, Sun Chuanting narrowed his eyes and smiled calmly and said, "General Zhou, how many days have we occupied Bijie?  All the rebels in Bijie were wiped out?" Zhou Shenjiang was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face. He took a step back and said, "I have not considered this for a long time. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!" Sun Chuanting smiled and shook his head.  He said softly: "If you have thought carefully, what else do you want me to do?" Several people were stunned. Seeing the smile on Sun Chuanting's face, they knew that Sun Chuanting was not angry.  Several people also laughed. Zhou Shen's face turned red and he smiled sheepishly.  Although the people present are all military generals, they can serve in the three major battalions and become generals, so naturally they are all educated.  Since they had stayed in Bijie for two days, the dispersed rebels had already crossed Chishui and ran over.  Now that the bridge is still there, there is only one possibility, and that is that the rebels deliberately left it behind.  It is very likely that there are rebels ambushing opposite them, waiting to attack people like them head-on.  The rebels may have tampered with the bridge. If you don¡¯t check it, you¡¯re really worried!  Everyone also understood why Sun Chuanting did this. Knowing that there was an ambush on the other side, they naturally had to be more careful.  After looking at General Zhou Can up and down, Sun Chuanting's face became serious, he pondered for a moment, and said: "General Zhou, since you said punishment, I will give you a punishment. When the pontoon bridge is repaired, you and others will be the first to cross the river.  , if there is an ambush by the rebels, don¡¯t pretend to be a coward to me!¡± Hearing that Sun Chuanting was going to punish General Zhou Can, several people looked at each other. They had been Sun Chuanting¡¯s subordinates for a long time, and they knew that Sun Chuanting was different from other literati!  .  Don't say you were punished because of a word. Even if something happened, you wouldn't necessarily be punished. What happened today?  But after hearing what Sun Chuanting said, smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of several people, and they looked at General Zhou with jealousy.  In their view, this is not a punishment, but a kind of cultivation.  Who wouldn¡¯t want this good opportunity to make a contribution?  Taking a big step forward, Zhou Shenjiang raised his fist towards Sun Chuanting and shouted loudly:?: "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely complete the task. If anything goes wrong, Commander will cut off my head and use it as a chamber pot!" Looking at General Zhou Can with a smile, Qin Tian waved his hand and said loudly: "I can  Don¡¯t use your head as a chamber pot, it¡¯s too ugly!¡± Listening to Sun Chuanting¡¯s words, several people looked at each other and suddenly laughed.  The Ming army set up camp and sent engineers to repair the pontoon bridge. They looked unhurried and crossed the river in no hurry.  There are two big mountains not far from the other side of the Chishui River, and a valley is formed where they intersect.  At this moment, the valley is full of camps, and teams of soldiers are patrolling back and forth.  In the innermost part of the valley, a banquet was being held in the largest tent.  The person sitting on the main seat was a young man.  Although there was a smile on his face, it looked very forced.  This young man is the Shuixi Xuanfu envoy, and he is actually a puppet.  On the right side of the young man is a tall man with a beard and sideburns.  There was a large machete beside him, which looked extremely fierce. This man was none other than the young man An's uncle, An Bangyan.  He controls the entire tribe and is the de facto overlord of Shuixi.  On the left side of the young man, there is a middle-aged man who does not look very brave and always has a smile on his face.  This person is An Wei's uncle, She Chongming, who just came from Sichuan.  "Brother An, the Ming army is coming this time. We can't take it lightly!" She Chongming retreated from Sichuan and suffered a great loss in strength. Although the two families were united in name, it was An Bangyan who held the real power.  People had to lower their heads under the eaves, and She Chongming was very polite when he spoke to An Bangyan.  He cut off a piece of meat with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the blood streaks on it. An Bangyan didn't even raise his head and said angrily: "I have 80,000 people here, all of them warriors. The Ming army has less than 30,000.  It's easy to defeat them. Once I destroy the Ming army on this side, I will turn around and deal with the Ming army on the other side. As long as I wipe out these two Ming armies, all of Sichuan and Guizhou will be ours!"  Looking at An Bangyan eating meat, a trace of worry flashed across She Chongming's face. He knew very well the fighting power of the 20,000 Ming army.  With An Bangyan underestimating his enemy, She Chongming suddenly felt a little unsure.  But he didn't know what to say. He was defeated by this Ming army. If he said anything more, it would only make An Bangyan look down on him.  An Si, who was sitting on the side, didn't speak the whole time, and he didn't have the same look on his face. He slowly cut the beef with the knife in his hand.  However, there was a flash of fierceness in his eyes from time to time, and veins popped out in the hand holding the knife.  After a night of silence, the Ming army began to repair the bridge early the next morning, but it seemed that they did not find the ambush on the other side.  These bridge builders are all working slowly and are not impatient at all.  Sitting on the river beach and watching the flowing river, Sun Chuanting had a faint smile on his face and kept recalling his journey along the way.  I was a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, but I was not able to be an Imperial Academy editor or a good scholar.  He was directly appointed as the magistrate of Shangqiu County. He served for three years and worked conscientiously. It can be said that he has been a good official. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? I get a good review from the outside inspection, I originally thought that I would be directly promoted can be directly thought.  Even Sun Chuanting didn't dare to think that he would be in such a situation. Emperor Tianqi had just ascended the throne, and he was thrown into the third camp by an imperial edict.  The grade has not changed, it is still the seventh grade, but the treatment is much different. But what surprised Sun Chuanting was later. When he arrived at the third camp, Sun Chuanting realized that he was not patrolling, but training the army.  The excitement in my heart shows my ambition.  Looking at the place in the capital, Sun Chuanting secretly made up his mind that the emperor was kind to him.  In this life, I will open up new territories for the emperor and serve the country with the Chinese army.  "Commander, the firearm camp is almost ready!" Zhou Shenjiang came to Sun Chuanting's side and said seriously.  Nodding slowly, Sun Chuanting said with a serious face: "Tell those who are repairing the bridge to send a few more teams to repair it in batches. It is best not to let the people on the other side see when we finish the repair, and then there will be you.  The troops must be ready!" Zhou Shenjiang clasped his fist at Sun Chuanting and said loudly: "Commander, don't worry! Just watch!" Sun Chuanting nodded.  : "Go! Go down and get ready!" Early three days later, Sun Chuanting got up early. After breakfast, he ordered all the people.  The first wave of people to cross the bridge were the troops led by General Zhou Shen. There were ten thousand people in total, two thousand of them were firearms battalions, and each of them carried a long musket on his back.  Looking at the soldiers walking past, Sun Chuanting pressed the hilt of his sword at his waist with a bit of coldness in his mouth.  "Your Majesty! The Ming army has begun to cross the river!" A scout horse ran into the room.??, he bowed to An Bangyan and said respectfully.  Glancing at She Chongming on the side, An Bangyan suddenly picked up his sword and said with a big smile: "The day we have finally waited for is coming! Order your troops and follow me on the expedition!" To be continued.  )
