The scale of the Confucian Temple is very large, in addition to the main hall of Dacheng, there are rooms on both sides, there are Chongsheng worship behind the palace, the east of the worship is the Minglun Hall, the front of the hall is the Dacheng Gate, the left of the door is the famous eunuch worship, the right is the village sage worship, there are many houses, Pan Pond and water well around. This is a place to worship holes, pedestrians come here, military attaches dismount, civil officials get off the sedan chair. But now the Temple of Literature has become a military headquarters, and the flow of people in and out is like shuttles.

After Chen Zhengcheng and Liu Shengming left, Qi Liang simply ate a little pastry and went to Chongsheng.

"Greetings to the father!"

"Come on, bears! We're talking about war, and you should come and hear about it! Wu Sangui beckoned happily.

There were more than ten people inside, and they saluted Qi Liang one after another, Qi Liang admired it very much, many of these people were people who were drunk with him yesterday, and they didn't want people to get up early to participate in state affairs, and it didn't affect their work at all!

Qi Liang didn't know what everyone was talking about, listened attentively, and after a long time he understood that they were discussing the attack on Linxiang City, and decided to lead the troops to attack by the rebellious general Wu Yinglin.

Qi Liang is not good at military affairs, he seems to understand whether he understands or not, and he doesn't dare to interject a word, but the more he listens, the more wrong he becomes, he actually wants to divert water to flood Xiangcheng! How many innocent people will die here? In a hurry, he said: "Father! Cannot! ”

The generals opened their eyes, and Wu Sangui reprimanded: "The court is deliberating, and the bears can't talk nonsense!" "I don't say anything.

Qi Liang stood up and bowed, neither arrogant nor humble, not flustered, and said: "Father! Erchen thinks that flooding Linxiang is inappropriate! ”

Wu Sangui asked with interest: "What's wrong, let's hear about it?" ”

Qi Liang said: "Flooding Linxiang, what should the people of Linxiang City do?" ”

The generals laughed, and a delicate and elegant scribe who looked like a beautiful woman arched his hand and said: "The son of the world is sad and compassionate, and people say that the son of the world is reincarnated, and the bodhisattva is hearted, and it is true!" This person Qi Liang knew that it was Wu Sangui who sat down with the strategist Wang Shirong, whose appearance was better than Pan An, and he was better than Wu Yinglin, and Qi Liang noticed him when he came in.

Wu Sangui shook his head secretly, thinking that it was a good idea, but it was a woman's kindness!

Qi Liang heard that everyone was disdainful, and secretly thought that they were some heroes, and they regarded human life like a mustard! I couldn't help but sigh secretly: "In ancient times, the people were cheap! ”

Qi Liangmu glanced at these cold-blooded animals with a face, and said, "In ancient times, the sages had already told me: Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!" The people are the foundation of the community, we are now in the Temple of Literature, the Confucian sage who worships said to be diligent in government and love the people, and the sub-sage Mencius also said: The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light! Do you still think that those ordinary people are not important? ”

Everyone was stunned, everyone knew the importance of the people, but no one really took it seriously, and they didn't want the prince to quote the scriptures and make a big comment, so they didn't know how to refute it for a while. Wu Sangui squinted his eyes and smiled silently, feeling that his son had the potential to be a Mingjun. Seeing that everyone was silent, he had no choice but to say, "O bear! You have not long returned, and you still don't know some of the situation, after a period of attack, our army has suffered great damage, and it is not appropriate to attack again! But Linxiang has to be taken again, so he can only outwit and not attack! ”

I see, but we can't ignore the people, right? Qi Liang said: "Father can besiege but not attack!" After a long time, Linxiang City will surrender when it runs out of ammunition and food! ”

A general with a big square face who stood like a bell came out and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't know anything!" A support army of the Qing army has crossed the south of the Yangtze River, they have a Mongolian iron cavalry good at guerrillas, if our army besieges Linxiang but does not attack, it will be everywhere guerrilla harassment of our army's rear, our army is overwhelmed, and it will collapse and disperse after a long time! ”

Qi Liang asked: "What General Hu is referring to is the cavalry with yellow flags led by the Mongolian capital of Mongol Commander Luo Belle Zhu Man?" "This person is Hu Guozhu, a general under Wu Sangui, who drank with Qi Liang yesterday, a man with a bold temperament, Qi Liang likes it more.

Hu Guozhu was surprised: "How can the prince know so clearly? ”

Qi Liang said gloomily: "When Xiao Wang fled south of Beijing, he met this Zhu Man!" One of my cadres has fallen into his hands, and I hate him and eat his bones, so how can I not know him? ”

Hu Guozhu asked urgently: "Does the prince know anything else?" ”

Qi Liang said: "When Xiao Wang escaped from Jiangnan, he was captured by him and did hard labor for a few days, and I don't know anything else!" ”

It was the first time for many people to hear Qi Liang tell about his escape process, although the account was plain, but they could understand the hardships and sufferings, fear and despair to some extent.

Hu Guozhu thought for a moment and asked again: "Dare to ask what kind of hard labor did the prince do after he was captured?" ”

Isn't this a sad thing to poke people's hearts? Everyone frowned, only Wu Sangui was fine, Qi Liang also knew that Hu Guozhu must have something to mean when he asked this, and said truthfully: "Xiao Wang escorted grain, grass and baggage in Zhu Manhou's army that day!" ”

"Where?" Hu Guozhu asked.

Qi Liang thought about it and said: "Not far from the Yangtze River, it should be the junction of Hunan and Hubei!" ”

"How did the prince escape that day?"

Qi Liang said: "At night, a large number of soldiers and horses poured in from the south, and I heard that Yuezhou was lost, and the rear army was also in chaos, so I took advantage of the chaos to escape!" ”

Hu Guozhu pursed his lips and smiled, turned to Wu Sangui, who was in the middle, and said, "Your Highness!" Our army may be able to adopt the advice of the prince to besiege Linxiang City without attacking! ”

Qi Liang was confused, just a few words of dialogue, that is, to overturn an agreed military strategy?

Wu Sangui asked with a smile: "General Hu thinks that the garrison of Linxiang City is not enough food and grass, and he can't help it, so he can't last for a few days?" ”

Hu Guozhu bowed: "Exactly!" ”

Wu Sangui smiled: "Tell me what you think!" ”

Hu Guozhu was confident: "Heavy troops besieged Linxiang City, sent an army north to Zhaoli Bridge to block the enemy's reinforcements to the south, and within five days, Linxiang City was self-defeating!" ”

Wu Sangui praised: "Good! ”

flashed out, and the voice was like Hong Zhongdao: "I am willing to lead an army to block the enemy!" "This person's voice is like Zhang Fei, but he is not like Zhang Fei, on the contrary, he looks beautiful.

Wu Sangui asked: "How many soldiers and horses do you need to return to the forest?" "This general's surname is Qin, and his name is Lin!

Qin Guilin said: "Five thousand is enough!" ”

Wu Sangui shook his head: "Lone can only give two thousand!" ”

Qin Guilin hesitated for a moment, but then said firmly: "If you are humble, you will take two thousand to stop the enemy!" ”

Qi Liang admired the heroism of the ancients, and knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so he went to Tiger Mountain.

Wu Sangui said with relief: "General Qin, don't worry! Don't you listen to the bears? The Qing army was already trembling and timid, how could they dare to go south for reinforcements? The general only needs to guard the Zhao Li Bridge! ”

Qin Guilin was overjoyed, full of confidence and retreated, Qi Liang sighed that celebrities are celebrities, generals are generals, just a few words of dialogue, Hu Guozhu read so much information, and Wu Sangui seemed to understand much more than him.

"Father! Erchen wants to go with the army to attack Linxiang City! Qi Liang hesitated to stand up.

Wu Sangui opened his arms: "Okay! My son knows that he has shared his father's worries! I will order you to be the commander of this attack on Linxiang City! ”

Qi Liang was stunned, he just wanted to go with the army to see if he could save the subordinates who were captured by Zhu Man? He didn't know anything about ancient military affairs, how could he command a war? Isn't that child's play? But this is another excellent opportunity to grasp the military power, gritted his teeth and bowed down: "Erchen obeys!" ”

In ancient times, having a good identity was good, and you could be a general without knowing anything, which is unimaginable in modern society!

Many of them were blushing, and a few were smiling.

Wu Sangui was satisfied with Qi Liang's reaction, and continued: "You led 10,000 troops and 2,000 Qin Guilin troops to form a vanguard battalion to attack Linxiang City, I know that you are not familiar with military affairs, I will let General Guozhu help you." ”

I said, how can this thing of fighting and killing people be so childish? It turns out that he is just an ornament! Qi Liang knew that this was Wu Sangui's painstaking arrangement, this was a battle without suspense, there was no danger and he could win easily, and his cheap father wanted him to pick something cheap.

Wu Sangui said again: "Alone in Yuezhou, right behind you, you can let go and fight!" ”

Qi Liang deeply understood Wu Sangui's hard work as a father, and was moved: "The son will definitely live up to his father's expectations!" ”

"Lin'er!" Wu Sangui still doesn't seem at ease.

"The last general!" Wu Yinglin, who was dressed in snow-white, came out of the ranks.

"You lead 5,000 soldiers to fight for the bear!"

Wu Yinglin responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Of course, everything is worry-free, Qi Liang is happy, and Wu Yinglin secretly retreats angrily, this should have been his handsome position and was snatched away in a blink of an eye.

"Does the bear have any more requests?" Wu Sangui asked with concern.

Qi Liang said: "Erchen wants Liu Qilong to lead and Tang Daomu Qianhu to go on the expedition with me!" ”

Wu Sangui said heartily: "Okay! Let them both follow you, and their armies will be transferred to your tent to listen to orders! ”

Qi Liang was overjoyed, but Wu Yinglin's face became more and more gloomy, this time it was okay not only to rob him of his handsome position but also to rob his people!

"Father! Erchen has one more request! Qi Liang said.

"If you have any request, just say it, and my father will satisfy you!" Wu Sangui never tires of it.

Qi Liang said: "There is no one waiting beside Erchen!" I want all the people of the former Efu Mansion to come back to me! ”

Wu Sangui shouted: "Accurate!" Those people are all warriors selected by my Pingxi Palace, and they made them suffer a little bit some time ago, and now they should be allowed to come back! ”

"Thank you, Father!" This is what Qi Liang cares about the most.
