Chapter 419: The Lord Asks Me to Bring You a Message (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
Soldiers are divided into two ways!
In addition to the Pingyu army, there were also 20,000 troops led by Zu Dashou, the governor of Zuodu, who launched an attack on Shenyang. After receiving the letter from the general of Pinglu, he began to prepare for this attack, and after the Pinglu army set out, he ordered Zu Keyong and his lieutenants Yang Zhen and Xu Changyong to lead the troops into Dalinghe City. Then he sent all his soldiers and horses to the Daling River.
Finally, once again the soldiers came to Dalinghe City, looking at the city in the distance, Zu Dashou's mood can be described as extremely complicated.
Many years ago, he was defeated here, and in order to get a glimmer of life, he even had to kill He Kegang, open the city gate, and lead the generals to Jinying to surrender. Since then, it has been almost ten years now, and for ten years, he has dreamed of washing away the shame of the day. This time, it is necessary to recapture the city of Dalinghe and recapture the land that was taken away by the Eastern Captives.
"Dad, Wu Sangui said that without an order from the imperial court, he would never send troops."
Although Wu Sangui is his nephew, he is not only the general soldier of Ningyuan, an important military town of the Ming Dynasty, but also the governor of Liaodong, commanding the Ming army outside the Guanwai. Counting it up, Wu Sangui's status is even above him, and in this regard, Zu Dashou knows very well why the emperor would arrange it like this.
In that year, he was besieged by the Daling River, and he could not relieve the siege for more than a month, so the imperial court urgently crowned Wu Xiang as the chief soldier and ordered him to lead his division out of the customs to rescue the Daling River. Wu Xiang suddenly became a general soldier and became a marshal. A few years later, Wu Sangui became the chief soldier, and Wu Xiang was honored as the old chief soldier, one door and two general soldiers, but he glorified his ancestral family. And Wu Sangui was able to lead the governor of Liaodong, in fact, it was also the move of the imperial court to balance the generals of Liaodong and restrain the ancestral family. The current first gate in Liaodong is the Wu family!
Although Wu Xiang is his ancestor Dashou's old department, although Wu Sangui is his nephew, in the face of glory and wealth, they still think about themselves, just like now, when Zu Dashou sent all the soldiers and horses under his command, Wu Sangui chose not to move.
"I see."
Staring at Da Linghe City in the distance, Zu Dashou said in a sullen voice.
"It doesn't matter if he comes or not, let's take down Dalinghe City first!"
Zu Dashou, who was riding on the mount, raised the whip in his hand and ordered Zu Zeyuan on the side.
"Bombard Dalinghe City immediately, and tomorrow morning at the latest, I want to see you open the city wall!"
"The last general obeys!"
"Zu Zechun, you lead two thousand iron army to break the city, once the city is broken, immediately break the city along the collapsed city wall!"
"The last general obeys!"
"Zu Zeqing, you lead the firecracker team ......"
"The last general obeys!"
"Zu Zeshen, you lead the cavalry, scatter a hundred miles, and prevent the reinforcements of Jiannu."
"The last general obeys!"
"Zu Zepei ......"
"Zu Ze Rong ......"
……
With an order, Zu Dashou assigned orders to the generals around him one by one, just like the description of Zu Dashou by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the history books - the clan party is very strong, and the people and horses under Zu Dashou are not so much the Ming army, but the ancestral army, as for the generals around him, they are all ancestral generals in his ancestral family.
Ancestral army, ancestral general!
Perhaps, this is the biggest feature of the Liaodong Army in this era.
Just when a group of ancestors will be ordered to leave, suddenly there are more than a dozen fast horses rushed over, at the beginning Zu Dashou thought that it was to explore the horse back to the camp, but this team of horses did not wear armor, only the number of leading horses, wearing Dalian Ming iron armor, the leader is none other than Zu Dashou's own brother Zu Dabi.
"Why did Dabi come here at this time?"
When the visitor approached, Zu Dashou couldn't help but be stunned, and the people around him were the same.
"Ze, Zerun ......"
When Zu Dashou muttered in surprise, the people around him all widened their eyes in astonishment.
"It's the eldest prince!"
"The eldest prince is back!"
"Yes, yes, the eldest prince is back......"
For a while, everyone looked at the comer in amazement, more than a dozen horses stopped outside Zhangxu, and Zu Zerun jumped off the mount at the same time, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
"Unfilial son kowtows to his father!"
The ten people behind him also knelt down and kowtowed, they were all the ancestral family members who were detained as hostages in the slave camp when they surrendered in the Daling River, including his sons and nephews, as well as his relatives and family members.
"Zerun, Zerun, quick, hurry up......"
never thought that his son would come back at this time, Zu Dashou hurriedly helped Zu Zerun and looked at him anxiously.
"You, you're back, you're back......"
Zu Zepu, who was standing aside, looked at his father's excited appearance, his mind seemed a little complicated, strictly speaking, he was the eldest son of the ancestral family, because his father had no children in his early years, so he would accept his uncle's son as a slave, since then, Zu Zerun is the eldest son of the ancestral family, and later after he was born, he can only rank as the second son. Whether it is to the ancestral family or the outside world, he will always be the second son, and the only one who will inherit the family business in the future will be Zu Zerun.
Ten years ago, in the battle of Da Ling River, although he was worried about the safety of his eldest brother, Zu Zepu's heart was relieved, all these years, he has been following his father's side, for what? It is not only filial piety, but also to take over the family business of the ancestral family in the future.
But now, the eldest brother is back.
"The little brother has seen the big brother!"
Without waiting for Zu Zepu to salute, Zu Zerun hugged him and said.
"Second brother, I have suffered you all these years, when my father and I were surrounded by the Daling River, you wrote to the court and was willing to bring your family to Liaodong to rescue, these years are thinking of the second brother's affection, thinking that in the future, I will thank the second brother in person, and the eldest brother has survived on Jiannu's side so far......"
When the sincere words were spoken, Zu Zerun's eyes filled with tears.
"Big brother, I miss my little brother all these years......"
The scene of brothers, friends and brothers fell in the eyes of everyone, all of them were moved, and Zu Dashou was even more relieved to nod his beard again and again, and at the same time held the hand of his brother Zu Daxuan and said.
"Da Xuan, it's good for you to come back, it's good to come back, it's just a coincidence, you can see how I take the Daling River......"
As soon as his words fell, Zu Daxuan looked at Zu Zerun, the two glanced at each other, and Zu Zerun stepped forward and said.
"Dad, the kid has something to talk to Dad."
"Oh? What's up? ”
Although Zu Zerun hasn't spoken yet, Zu Dashou has already guessed that he is afraid that it has a lot to do with them coming back, looking at the dozen or so people behind Zu Zerun, he was overjoyed, and his mind couldn't help but sink, what was Dolgon releasing them for at this time?
There are still many people in the ancestral family who are on Huang Taiji's side, hey...... If they hadn't gone with him, I'm afraid they would have been rescued by the prince like Zu Kefa!
But how did they get back?
And at this time. Suddenly, Zu Dashou's mind sank, and he realized that it might not be so simple for these people to come back at this time.
Anyway, they came back. God knows that over the years, there is not a day when the Lord does not want to take back the relatives and brothers who were left in Daling River by himself back then, and Huang Taiji will not let them back no matter what, for Huang Taiji, they are the bargaining chips in his hands.
Of course, the same is true for Dorgon. But why would Dorgon put them back now?
Despite all kinds of doubts in his heart, Zu Dashou still happily led his son into the big tent.
After a while, the silence in the big tent was surprisingly quiet, it was almost audible that the needle had fallen, and Zu Dashou was holding Dolgon's handwritten letter in his hand, and his brows were tightly locked.
"Daddy, what is Dolgon's letter about?"
Zu Zepu asked.
"Second brother, prince, no, Dolgon said that he would give up these places from Daling River to Shengjing to our ancestral family!"
As soon as Zu Zerun's words fell, everyone in the tent widened their eyes in shock, followed by a burst of ecstasy.
What is Shengjing? It's the military exploits of the big guys, and it's the future of the big guys!
And at the moment, Shengjing City doesn't even need big guys to fight. That Dolgon directly gave them Shengjing City.
Where can such good things be found?
Where can you find such a good thing as a military feat, which can be achieved without spending a single soldier?
"Dad, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Zu Zerun looked at his father and said. This was a great gift from Dolgon, an opportunity for his ancestors, and even more so for him, since he had been away from his lord's house for ten years.
At this moment, Zu Zepu asked rhetorically.
"Dad, it's good, but how can the general explain it?"
