Chapter 424: Layout
Chang Yu had a historical material in his mind, long before Li Zicheng captured Beijing, the Qing army had a plan to enter the customs again and plunder the Central Plains.
Immediately raised the army to the south, planning to enter the customs from the north of Beijing, and when he arrived in Fuxin, he met Wu Sangui's envoy who said that the capital had been lost, and the beggar suppressed the bandits.
At that time, Dolgon didn't believe it, Lao Tzu entered the customs several times, and the army besieged Beijing several times, but he never fought down, how could that group of mud-legged people get down so quickly? felt that Wu Sangui was a fraud.
After the exact information arrived, he turned around from Fuxin and went southeast to Ningyuan, and then outside Shanhaiguan, and waited for Wu Sangui to recognize his father before sending troops to defeat Li Zicheng and officially enter the Central Plains.
However, history changed the direction because of Chang Yu's butterfly wings fluttering a few times, and Li Zicheng returned from the Battle of Taiyuan and turned east into the Central Plains, but the Qing army actually sent troops on time, and it was still the original marching route, preparing to enter the customs from Beijing Beimiyun and other places.
Could it be that the Qing army's intelligence was delayed, and it was not known that Li Zicheng was defeated in the Battle of Taiyuan, or did it not affect their original plan to enter the Central Plains and plunder!
Chang Yu caught profiteers in Zhangjiakou and blocked the port, which caused some damage to the intelligence system of the Qing army, but the intelligence system of the Qing army that had been operating in the customs for many years would not be affected too much, and there must be other channels to send the news of the defeat of the thief Taiyuan.
Either the intelligence is delayed, or people don't care about Li Zicheng's success or failure at all, according to the original plan, he wins, then let's go head-to-head, whoever wins sits on the dragon chair, he loses, then I'll grab something.
And the reaction of the Ming court after receiving the information of the Qing army's dispatch was really ridiculous, they thought for the first time that the Qing army was taking advantage of Li Zicheng's troubles in the Central Plains Imperial Court, and took the opportunity to take the only castle outside the Ming Dynasty, Ning Yuan!
So Chang Yu was sent to oversee the army.
But right now, the little eunuch and Wu Sangui are staring at each other on this beacon tower full of snow, and people are not coming from this side!
Soldiers, thousands of miles to be transferred, food to be transported thousands of miles away, artillery ammunition to be sent across mountains and rivers, you say you are not coming, what about playing?
No, Dorgon must come!
Wu Sangui was secretly a little happy, and even breathed a sigh of relief, it's better not to come, as for him entering the customs from the north of the capital, it is not his own jurisdiction, and it is my business.
But the little eunuch's words made him almost jump.
"You send a letter to Dolgon, saying that if you want to surrender, you must let his army turn around and go this way!"
Wu Sangui almost scolded, you are so stupid, if you say surrender, Dolgon will believe it, and if you let it come, it will come! And why should I let him come and find trouble for himself.
First, Dolgon is thirsty for talent, because of the ancestral longevity, he recruited Wu Sangui's heart to die, and second, Ningyuan City is a very tempting bait, if Wu Sangui surrenders, Daming Pass is lost, which is equivalent to expanding the territory to the door of Daming's doorstep. So whether it was a deception or not, Dorgon would be tempted.
The defense line of the third capital is empty, and Jizhen is short of men and horses, if Dolgon enters the pass from Miyun, Wu Sangui's men and horses will definitely be transferred to the rescue, instead of working hard to send people over to fight, why not let him come over to fight us.
Wu Sangui thought about it again and again and felt that the little eunuch's words were very reasonable, when the thief army besieged Taiyuan, the imperial court urged him to withdraw into the pass and enter the king of Jingqin, if the Qing army came to the city this time, it was really necessary to go all the way to the past as the little eunuch said.
But how could Dorgon believe that he surrendered, and then let the army turn around? After all, he had asked his ancestors for his birthday before to thank him for his surrender letter, and he suddenly took the initiative to surrender to whom's letter! Anyone with a little brain knows that there is a cat.
This requires the next big game of chess, and the little eunuch's head is spinning rapidly.
"Let's just say that after the thief army was in Henan round, the strength of the army increased greatly and was tired, all the way north to the capital, and the Ming court was in danger. This information is true and false, and even if the Qing army has spies in the pass, it is impossible to distinguish the truth from the false so quickly and immediately deliver it to Dolgon."
"In addition, in order to increase the attractiveness, it can be said that Gao Di, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, staged a rebellion drama, which made the situation even more muddy, and the more chaotic and chaotic he became, the more he could not figure out the state, and the more profitable he thought it was."
"The thieves are approaching the capital, and Gaodi rebels and establishes himself as the king, so the last general is going to surrender?" Wu Sangui asked with a sneer.
The little eunuch bowed his head and was silent for a while: "If you don't descend, then talk about the beggar!" ”
It seems that some historical trends are still unchanged.
Wu Sangui frowned and pondered, and finally sighed, it is feasible!
Surrender is Dolgon's wish, but the beggar is also a good thing that can not be found, and the benefits behind it are unimaginable, whether it is Wu Sangui's beggar to quell the Gaodi rebellion, or the beggar enters the customs to suppress the bandits to relieve the danger of the capital. After all, if you want others to send troops to the rescue, you have to pay the same price.
If he just helped Ping Gaodi rebel, he would also have a chance to enter the customs. If you enter the customs to help the Ming court suppress the bandits, the benefits will be greater, and you may even take the opportunity to take the capital! There are a lot of variables here, but no matter how it changes, it will be beneficial to you, and there are many benefits anyway.
Whether Dolgon believed it or not, he bit the bait with the idea of "what if it's true".
What a big game! Wu Sangui sighed.
The wind and snow are getting bigger, the two of them enter the Tibetan soldier cave of the beacon tower to warm up, the cold wind roars outside, the snowflakes dance, the little eunuch glanced at Wu Sangui and suddenly said: "The thieves have ravaged the Central Plains for more than ten years, the imperial court racked its brains to dispatch troops to deal with it, and finally the good generals were lost, the treasury was empty and still powerless, in recent years, the thieves must lose, and the thieves were in the limelight for a while, but a month ago, Li Zicheng commanded 200,000 troops to the east, and the army gathered under the city of Taiyuan but returned with a fiasco!" General Wu knows why? ”
Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, you little eunuch actually came to me to invite merit, do you like to be flattered so much, but he said: "The overseer is brave and resourceful, strategizing, and the thief is not an opponent."
Chang Yu pursed his lips and said: "Chief Wu underestimated Ben Du" How could he not guess what Wu Sangui was thinking.
Wu Sangui hurriedly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Chang Yu.
"Everyone works together, and the strength can break the gold! Our family and Zhou Yuji's general soldiers, Governor Cai Maode and others perform their duties but work together, the soldiers are not afraid of war, they will not be afraid of death, they will unite as one, and they will defeat the thieves, otherwise with the courage of only one person, how can they reach hundreds of thousands of iron horses! ”
Wu Sangui finally reacted, this little eunuch was planning to dig out his heart.
Sure enough, Chang Yu continued: "The Central Plains is in turmoil, thieves are raging, how can it be outside the customs, more than ten years in the Manchu Qing Jiao War, ten battles and nine losses, hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains have become enemy land, tens of thousands of Ming athletes have died here, and now the enemy is coming, the big war is imminent, our family is willing to work together with General Wu like Zhou Yuji to fight with Qinggou, see whose knife is sharper!" ”
Wu Sangui was emotional, clenched his fists hard, Chang Yu's words made him excited, he was only thirty years old, it was the age of full ambition and blood boiling.
"This governor and General Wu are far from having no enmity and no resentment, but there are some misunderstandings and some mustards, please put it aside for the time being, the big battle is imminent, I hope to work together to beat the Qing army, fight my Ming national prestige, and avenge those dead soldiers! A bloody shame for decades! ”
Wu Sangui stood up rubbly, Chang Yu's honesty and sincerity made him very surprised and moved, only to know why this little eunuch was valued by Chongzhen, it was for his heart, his will, his words, and his deeds!
Even so, why not have a bang.
Under the beacon, the two hands clasped together.
