Chapter 192: Xiang Sheng's wisdom plans to retreat from the Qing army
Azig, the king of Yingjun in the Great Qing Dynasty, led his troops back to the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty, and looked around at the generals complacently and said, "How is it like to enter the fortress this time?" ”
The generals said: "The harvest is very rich, and it can be called perfect." ”
Azig said excitedly: "Good one's harvest is very rich, it can be called perfect', let's report the good news to the emperor." ”
Before the words fell, the Chinese army hurriedly came and said: "King Qiyingjun, there are 4,000 people in the rear army who were attacked by the Ming army because they were a little slower, and more than half of them were lost. ”
Azig said: "No, where in the Ming Dynasty is there an army that dares to raid my 4,000-strong army?" ”
Zhongjun said: "If this is the case, those who fled back say so." ”
Azig was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Who led it?" ”
Zhongjun said: "According to the people who fled back, the surname of the soldier is Lu, and his name is Lu Xiangsheng." ”
"Lu Xiangsheng?" Azig asked rhetorically, saw that the Chinese army nodded, and said: "This Lu Xiangsheng has some doorways, although he is a civilian official, he has infinite power, and he knows the soldiers, when the emperor entered the fortress for the first time, the officers and soldiers ran away, but he organized more than 10,000 people to confront the emperor."
After that, he won the appreciation of the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and transferred him to clean up the Liukou, he made many contributions, and soared all the way to the military prime minister of the five provinces. Alas, it's no wonder that I ran into him. ”
The generals were unconvinced: "King Yingjun doesn't want to show the morale of others and destroy the prestige of our own family, Yuan Chonghuan is dead, is he more powerful than Yuan Chonghuan?" ”
Azig said solemnly: "Yuan Chonghuan has trained a Guanning Iron Cavalry, and he has established a Tianxiong Army, which is not inferior to the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Think about it, they came all the way from Huguang, and they still have such combat power, what does this mean? This shows that they are the brave and knowledgeable tiger and wolf divisions. ”
The generals said again: "Are we still afraid of him?" ”
Azig said with a smile: "For the master, if you want to defeat him, you must pay attention to him and study him, know yourself and know that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, why is there such a thing as 'afraid'?" ”
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Okay, that's good." ”
Hearing this, Azig hurriedly turned around to see that it was Huang Taiji!
After Azig led his troops to the expedition, Huang Taiji paid attention to the battlefield situation all the time.
On this day, when he was looking at the map alone, Fan Wencheng came in and said, "Your Majesty, Chongzhen has transferred Lu Xiangsheng to King Qin this time." ”
Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, and said: "Hurry up, order the horse to inform Azig quickly, so that he will not suffer." ”
Fan Wencheng said: "No need, the king of Yingjun has returned to the territory, but unfortunately the rear army is still a little slower and has suffered a little loss." ”
Huang Taiji sighed and said, "This Lu Xiangsheng is really extraordinary, and he has to find a way to get rid of him." ”
Fan Wencheng said: "I'm afraid it's not right now, Chongzhen believes in him." ”
Huang Taiji snorted coldly and said, "Believe it?" For Chongzhen, believing is actually not believing, as long as there is a problem in the defense area of the defense area with my strategy, will Chongzhen believe him again? No, definitely not. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the map with his finger and said: "I ordered Azig's troops to secretly station on the border, and when Chongzhen's trust in Lu Xiangsheng is a little higher, Azig will lead his troops to choose the opportunity to create the illusion of invading Xuanfu, and then deceive Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses to Xuanfu, and then take advantage of the situation to enter Yunyang and Jinyang, see how Chongzhen can believe him again?" ”
Fan Wencheng disagreed, but it was difficult to object, and said: "You can give it a try, but the emperor doesn't have to worry, this Lu Xiangsheng will not be in a hurry." ”
Huang Taiji let out an "oh" and looked at him puzzled.
Fan Wencheng paused for a moment and said: "There is news that Chongzhen has used Yang Sichang to seize affection, this Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng are not the same kind of people, the two will have a dispute, even if Chongzhen trusts again, he will be more constrained, won't the opportunity come?" ”
Huang Taiji said happily: "What is said is very true, in fact, the most unbearable thing in the Ming Dynasty is this kind of endless infighting, well, let them fight, the more they fight, the more opportunities we have."
So, my plan must be carried out, not that I am greedy, but that I must add a little spice to their infighting. ”
"Condiments?" Fan Wencheng muttered to himself, suddenly realized, and said: "The emperor means that if the plan is successful, he will take the opportunity to plunder, if not, he will add a credit to Lu Xiangsheng, and also add some capital to his internal fighting." ”
Huang Taiji smiled and nodded, and suddenly remembered something and said: "Let's go, go with me to have a look, don't let Azig lose his sharpness." ”
Fan Wencheng hurriedly followed.
Because both of them were dressed in civilian clothes, no one paid attention to them when they arrived in Azig's army. The two of them didn't speak, and listened to Azig's talk in earnest. Huang Taiji was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help but speak.
When Azig saw that it was him, he hurriedly dismounted and hurried up to salute.
Huang Taiji helped him up with one hand, as if to Azig, but rushed to the generals and said, "Won't Lu Xiangsheng take revenge?" ”
Azig and the generals said, "I dream of it." ”
Huang Taiji said: "What do you report? Have you ever thought about it? ”
Azig and the generals lowered their heads and thought, and after a while, Azig said, "I ask that you lead your troops to kill back." ”
Huang Taiji shook his head and said his calculations.
Azig and the generals said one after another: "In this way, wouldn't it be cheap for Lu Xiangsheng?" ”
Huang Taiji didn't say anything, and said: "Do what you want." ”
Lu Xiangsheng beckoned the generals to sit down, and just as he was about to speak, the Chinese army hurriedly came in and said, "Marshal Qiqi, there are war police in Xuanfu." ”
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No way, today's research and judgment meeting will be dispersed for the time being, and we will talk about it after the Qing soldiers are retreated." ”
As he spoke, he got up and walked out, and continued as he walked: "Go, quickly, go to the heavenly city." ”
His brother Lu Xiangjin said: "It's getting late now, can't you go early tomorrow?" ”
The generals also chimed in.
Lu Xiangsheng said solemnly: "The military situation is like fire, how can you be lazy for a general?" Besides, now that the enemy situation is unknown, it is like a doctor who does not know the symptoms, how can he prescribe the right medicine? ”
The generals didn't dare to say anything more, so they followed together.
When I arrived at the Heavenly City, it was already the second half of the night, and there was a panic in the Heavenly City, and Lu Xiangsheng asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Tanma said: "The inscriptions from all over the country continue to shoot arrows, saying that the cavalry of the Qing army is coming in a row of 40 miles from 200 miles. ”
Lu Xiangsheng pondered: "Is this clearly a large-scale offense and entering the pass?" ”
Tanma said: "Not yet. ”
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a while and said: "I expect that the Qing soldiers will attack Yunyang and Jinyang in the east, so as to deceive our army to Xuanfu, and the Qing soldiers just take advantage of the situation to enter directly."
Well, that's a good calculation. The order was that the troops of Yunyang and Jinyang should not move, the border officials should not go into battle easily, and the commander personally led the troops to station the right guard, and no one was allowed to move without the order of the commander. ”
Although the generals were puzzled, they did not dare to disobey.
Finally one day, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly recruited the generals, and said: "It's been a month, according to reconnaissance, the enemy has slackened, there are 36 battalions of enemy soldiers only 60 miles away from the protective wall, and the troops of Yunyang are secretly coming west, and the army of Xuanfu is secretly coming east. ”
When Azig heard the news, he turned to the generals and said, "The conditions set by the emperor have been met, so let's withdraw." ”
