Chapter 179
However, Peng Daya's words were very satisfying to everyone in the hall. Although many people were inconvenient to express their feelings, they were nodding, and there were many discussions between the seats, buzzing.
Peng Daya turned around and bowed to Chen Longzhi and said, "The words of the lower officials are all from public thoughts. What they do is nothing more than how to stick to Shu and avoid further deterioration of the situation. If there is any inconsideration, please forgive me."
After saying that, he sat down and raised his chest and raised his head.
Chen Longzhi's face was a little bad.
His original intention was to drive the Mongols out of Sichuan as soon as possible, rebuild a stable defense line like the four major Rongsi, and keep the enemy out of the country. What Peng Daya said was contrary to his intentions.
So Chen Longzhi frowned and pondered: "What Lord Peng said is safe, but you can defend the east of Sichuan? Compared with western Sichuan, the terrain is much smoother, so we can't even protect the west of Sichuan. How can we ensure that we can defend the east of Sichuan?"
Peng Daya also looked ashamed and felt a little embarrassed: "This is all the incompetence of Xiaguan and others. They lost the extremely dangerous place in western Sichuan, and they were so embarrassed now. However, Xiaguan thought that although the east of Sichuan could not reach western Sichuan, the mountains were also high and the advantages of cavalry running were unavailable. There were also waterways for the mercenary to be transported. The natural danger of the Yangtze River was even more isolated from the north and south. As long as we were willing to work hard and were willing to work hard, we would definitely be able to stand firm and resist the continued rampant momentum of the Northern Barbarians."
He put his face on his face and said seriously: "As long as you last a year or two, the Mongolians come north and are guests. After they cannot advance in an instant, they will eventually retreat. We will slowly plan for it, take back the lost ground step by step, and then look at the future, so that we can be safe."
"Safe? Lord Peng is afraid of war?" Chen Longzhi ignored the obvious expression of the people below who were obviously leaning towards Peng Daya and said angrily: "We should be loyal to the emperor. If we use such an unintentional approach, how will the censors in the court impeach us? How do the lords and officials who sent us view us? How can we face the people who were captured by the Northern Capitol and their families were destroyed and their wives and children were separated? This plan is not feasible! It is absolutely not feasible!"
"Sir! I, Peng Daya, fought in the lonely city of Meizhou for half a month, and the last soldier did not take a step back! I said I was afraid of war? Let's ask the generals of Sichuan first, and ask them, when did I, Mr. Peng, have I, feared the battle?" Peng Daya was also straightforward. Chen Longzhi's words touched his anger switch, and he suddenly became angry. He slapped the table and stood up, shouting.
Chen Longyi Fang Zhenshen, how could he allow his deputy to be arrogant? He immediately slapped the table and shouted: "If you are not afraid of war, why would you not go north? I made it clear that the Northern Barbarians have retreated to Lizhou, and there is no large number of Mongolian soldiers on Chengdu Prefecture Road. As long as you support the army and advance, there is no city to be restored. But you are trapped in the east of Sichuan. What is it that you are afraid of war?"
"It's outrageous!" Peng Daya was also a person who was willing to sacrifice himself. No one could stop him from getting angry. He immediately stared at Chen Longzhi and met with his eyes: "Master Chen, do you understand military affairs? The cavalry quickly traveled back and forth. It took only two or three days to get from Lizhou to Chengdu Prefecture. We are all infantrymen. The defenses of various prefectures and counties along the way from Gongzhou Prefecture to Chengdu Prefecture have been corrupted. If the Mongolians find out the news and the ten thousand horses are coming, how can they fight? You will harm the lives of millions of soldiers!"
"You are afraid of war!"
"You're moving!"
The two of them were like two angry roosters, with red faces and thick necks confronted each other across a table, and they refused to compromise, thinking that they were the one who mastered the truth, and their words made sense, and their purpose was for the public, but they could not persuade them for a while.
Yuan Jianzhi and others were stunned and looked at the two of them with a dumbfounded look. The two chiefs and deputy chiefs of the General Office of the General Office were the first to quarrel in public, and it was probably rare to see the world. The General Office was a high-ranking official and a second-rank official. No matter what, they would quarrel like a woman and would make people laugh to death. Once it was introduced to the ears of the Censors in the court, both of them would not be able to sit firmly.
If this continues, everyone who reacted quickly didn't care much about it. They rushed forward, pulled the two of them apart, and comforted each other separately. Even if the two were pulled apart, they still pointed their fingers through countless heads and shouted from each other, which was a sign of not refuting the other party and never giving up.
The yamen was very busy, and the matter was not discussed in the end. It was over. Peng Daya returned to the official residence in a turbulent manner. The rest of the people also scattered, and Yuan Jianzhi was inconvenient to leave. He accompanied Chen Longzhi to meet several generals who led the troops.
"You have also seen that the reason why the chaos in Sichuan is out of control is not without reason!" An hour has passed, and Chen Longzhi still has not yet disappeared. He said with red eyes in the back hall of the yamen: "With such a person in charge of military affairs, how can he not be confused? He is timid and timid, and he is proud to wait for the Northern Barbarians to retreat. If you don't hit him, will he leave by himself? Is it stupid, stupid!"
"Sir, please calm down, calm down." Yuan Jianzhi had to be a peacemaker and kept laughing: "Sir Peng also had concerns, so he said that."
"Hmph! You don't have to speak for him. I will write down every word he said today and copy it to the court. Right and wrong will be decided by the adults in the court!" Chen Longzhi exhaled a breath of turbidity in his chest, waved his hand, and said to the few commander generals who were left with big eyes and staring at the left: "I won't mention this anymore. What should we do? Don't wait for Peng Daya, we do it ourselves!"
His words made the few people frightened and they all smiled bitterly.
These military officers in charge have fought with the Mongols in the past two years, and they all have them in terms of experience. Just now, when Peng Daya and Chen Longzhi were fighting to stalemate in the lobby, they had a premonition that this commander would not be the one who easily compromised. It seems that he could not escape when he went north to Chengdu Prefecture.
Being stayed by Chen Longzhi confirmed this premonition. Several of them were restless as if they were constipated, and they bulged their eyes and waited for him to write down.
Chen Longzhi looked at several military generals and said, "I decided to go north in these few days, and regain the states and prefectures along the way, appease the people, and restore the garrison. If there is a small group of enemy troops, a large group of invincible people will be defeated, relying on the city nearby to defend it. However, you can rest assured that many horse explorers released from outside have reported that there are no more than a thousand Mongolians in Sichuan, and those who travel around are all riding horse bandits who take the opportunity to cause chaos, which is not worth worrying."
Several people were crying but not crying. I thought to myself, you really didn't listen to Peng Daya's words. Didn't they say that Mongolian soldiers only counted horses, and they didn't run away on two legs like us. The horses ran and ran at lightning. Once they met in the Chengdu plains, would everyone still survive?
But after thinking about it, this adult didn't even listen to Peng Daya's opinions. Is it useful for our brothers to say oppose it? He dared not kill Peng Daya because Peng Daya was a civil servant, or a deputy envoy. But he dared to kill us. Civil officials led the troops and military generals were nothing, and they would kill them without blinking their eyes when they said they were killed.
So everyone looked at Yuan Jianzhi who was speechless and had to hold his fists together to make a heroic gesture: "I will be able to rely on the help of the Lord alone!"
Chen Longzhi was very satisfied. From morning to now, he heard these words the most pleasant words, so he laughed and brought the tea to everyone, "Come on, come on, I'll have a sip of tea, don't even eat breakfast, right? Have lunch with me later."
Everyone thanked each other again and ate a cup of tea.
After the tea, Chen Longzhi asked again: "All the generals are all soldiers in Sichuan. They can tell me how many of them can fight under their command."
