In the lobby of the General Military Mansion, the door is closed, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

The stove in the hall is vigorous, Wu Zhong is burning a pot of hot wine next to him and taking a sip for a while, the aftertaste is endless, the reason why he is reluctant to drink it all is because Chang Yu set a quantity for him, only such a pot, it seems to be harsh, but it is actually a great grace, because from now on, the whole army is forbidden to drink!

Except for Wu Zhong!

In the middle of the lobby, Wu Sangui was sitting with a solemn face, and the six or seven generals on both sides looked heavy, only the little eunuch was holding a teacup.

"As soon as the gong strikes over there, the big drama begins, and Dolgon will inevitably come, and now we have to discuss how to resist it, and how to meet the blow to make him flee in embarrassment."

The little eunuch whispered softly, everyone frowned, no one answered, and everyone was thinking, why did you let the Qing army flee in embarrassment, and who gave you confidence.

With one breath, with fighting spirit! Unity is strength!

Chang Yu naturally knew that the soldiers of the Ming army generally suffered from serious illness, the inland suffered from thief phobia, and the Guanwai suffered from Qing phobia, even if these were the most sophisticated Guanning iron cavalry left in the Ming Dynasty, but because they had fought with the Qing army for a long time, they had lost confidence after repeated defeats.

Therefore, Chang Yu needs to rebuild their self-confidence, which is not something that can be achieved overnight, but gradually.

However, there is a more important thing to do, that is, to assign tasks, perform their duties, and assign responsibilities to people!

"This is more than 200 miles away from Shanhaiguan, there are thieves in the mountains, and they don't dare to provoke the reinforcements, but if the grain and grass are unexpected, we will freeze to death and starve to death without the Qing army beating us! Who can relieve Ben Governor of this? ”。

The little eunuch seemed to be smiling, most of the bandits in the mountains were defeated, if it was said that there was no friendship with the guards of Shanhaiguan and Ning Yuan, it would never be possible, it was the joint people and horses that Chang Yu encountered, it was obvious that there was a behind-the-scenes promoter who did it on purpose, and he was dismounted.

As soon as the truth fell, the generals looked at each other with different expressions, but Wu Sangui sat still and drank tea expressionlessly.

"The thieves are not afraid, they can't escape when the army comes and goes, how dare they come out to find trouble, and these bandits are shameless and know right and wrong, let's fight to the death with Qinggou, they don't help, they can dig the corner of the wall and cut off the back road?"

Wu Sangui's subordinate general named Li Wanzhong said disapprerovitically.

"Very good, this matter is entrusted to you, if there is a problem with the grain and grass, I will ask you for the crime" Chang Yu understated, Li Wanzhong was stunned, and just about to speak, Wu Sangui glanced at him

"Humble Order" Li Wanzhong got up and arched his hand.

"From Fuxin to Ningyuan about five or six hundred miles, the Qing army is hindered by the wind and snow and burdened by the burden of the Qing army's daily march of up to fifty miles, the fastest ten days can be reached, if our plan succeeds, he wanders and ponders and can delay for a few days, but at the latest half a month the Qing army must arrive, in this time the Ming army should make all preparations for war, such as fortifications, dig more trenches and ice walls, and at the same time fortify the wilderness, so that it can suffer from the cold, and also pack firearms, drill soldiers ......."

Chang Yu said with a cautious face, and the generals listened carefully and did not dare to slack off, after all, the little eunuch Yu was the eyes and ears of the emperor in the private factory, and he had the right to command the army Ning Yuan.

"If there is something unclear about the humble position, why should the Qing army definitely take the bait, and the chief soldier will send someone to deliver the letter, and Dolgon will immediately lead the army to come? If you are careful, you will definitely send a team of men and horses to distinguish the authenticity first, but here there are strong soldiers, digging ditches and repairing the city and preparing for war, so it is clear at a glance that it will be missed" A general asked.

Wu Sangui smiled slightly and did not speak.

The little eunuch snorted: "First of all, the bait is fragrant enough, and secondly, even if he sends someone to come, the governor still has a reason, and the most unfortunate thing is that the governor has eaten this team of people who are exploring the way."

The man stopped talking, Dolgon was greedy, and he naturally wouldn't let go of such fragrant bait, and secondly, he came with a large army, and he didn't put a small city in Ningyuan at all, and then sent a group of people and horses over to step on the point and learned that it was swallowed by the Ming army, and you said that he would not come when he was angry.

"You don't have to worry about the plan to lure the enemy, you just need to do your job, I hope you don't have to coax you on the battlefield! It also allows the Governor to see with his own eyes what the combat power of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is, and whether it is like the soft-footed shrimp that outsiders have rumored." As soon as the little eunuch's words fell, all the generals frowned, and their tempers were already stinky.

Chang Yu seemed to be smiling, as if he didn't know that he had inadvertently offended someone, only Wu Sangui was expressionless, but his eyes always looked at Chang Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

"Lord Overseer, no matter how we prepare, Ningyuan is just such an inch of land, the Qing army has many generals, and the firearms are not inferior to our army, dare to ask how to defeat it, Lord Overseer has a good strategy?" Someone jumped out again, obviously dissatisfied with the little eunuch five or six people pointing at him, anyone can say anything, and he has to show some real skills to serve people.

Chang Yu smiled slightly, and looked sideways at Wu Sangui: "Chief Wu still remembers Inspector Yuan's tactics back then?" ”。

Wu Sangui frowned, how could he mention Yuan Chonghuan again, at this time and that time, although Ningyuan City was still a small city back then, the Qing army was stronger now, and at the same time, it was blessed with firepower.

But he still responded: "The wall is clear, and the field is ......"

"Ben Du said the tactic," Chang Yu interrupted.

Wu Sangui was slightly stunned, and then his face changed greatly.

Yuan Chonghuan used a weak force to resist the Qing army's more than 100,000 troops (60,000), digging trenches outside the city to paralyze the Qing army's cavalry to charge the advantage, and using the frozen city wall of the city to increase the difficulty for the Qing army to climb the city, and concentrated firepower to bombard the Qing army......

But these are only auxiliary tactics.

It was Zu Dashou who really fought each other in close combat, and it was Zu Dashou who made the Qing army hit the wall with real knives and guns.

That's right, Yuan Chonghuan in the city suppressed it with bows and arrows and artillery, and Zu Dashou and Man Gui led troops and Qing troops to fight bloodily with the Qing army! Only then can the enemy retreat with the cooperation of the inside and outside.

Chang Yu's words have been made clear, follow Yuan Chonghuan's tactics! Then there must be a team of men out of the city to fight!

The faces of the generals who reacted changed, until today, the soldiers of the Ming army are too afraid of the enemy, and the Qing army is fierce and brave, and no one dares to fight head-on!

"Everyone, guard the city, do a good job, and leave the rest to the governor," Chang Yu said lightly.

Ah, everyone was shocked, listening to the meaning of this, the little eunuch will personally lead the men and horses out of the city to fight, it seems that the rumors of the Taiyuan war are true, of course this person is brave and warlike, or the ignorant are fearless!

However, the fierceness of the Qing army is comparable to those mud legs, and the cavalry of the Qing army is exhausted, sweeping thousands of troops!

"Overseer, think twice about this matter, the last general and the Qing army have fought many times, and I know a lot about it......," Wu Sangui hurriedly said.

"If you know so well, it's not that you will lose every battle"

The little eunuch glanced at everyone with a look of disdain, ignoring the raging anger in their eyes: "During the Battle of Taiyuan, Zhou Yuji's subordinates were also self-righteous to you, but they were cowards, but they always looked down on us eunuchs, but it was ridiculous that we were not as good as those of us who had no eggs!" Hahahaha! ”

With a bang, a grumpy general jumped up, boxed the case, glared at the little eunuch, and was about to speak wildly.

"Get out," Wu Sangui shouted angrily.

The general gritted his teeth and threw the door out.

The little eunuch shrugged, glanced at Wu Sangui and said, "Chief Wu Bing, is this governor wrong?" ”

Wu Sangui clenched his fists, and then slowly let go: "Lord Overseer is not wrong, facts speak louder than words, and the fact that nine defeats in ten battles cannot be changed."

"Even if it's a fact, and the Governor is telling the truth, why do you all blow your beards and stare at you and want to eat people?" Chang Yu sneered: "Do you have to open your eyes and say nonsense to flatter you, but this governor dares to say it, you dare to listen, are you embarrassed to listen?" ”

None of the generals answered, the little eunuch's words were too sarcastic, and everyone was holding back the fire in their hearts, but seeing that Wu Sangui had been forbearing, no one dared to make a mistake and endure his anger.

"It seems that you are very unconvinced, so let's make a bet" Chang Yu smiled, and all the generals couldn't help but look at him.

"Wait for the city to be defended, the governor will fight outside the city, bet on who will kill the enemy more, who will have more in the end and all the achievements will belong to whom, in addition to this governor has another reward, the head of the dog is five taels! Ten officials were promoted to two levels, and those who were cleared were rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and they were sealed as the Marquis of Wanshi! ”

The words were amazing, the generals looked at each other, Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows and looked at the little eunuch, I don't know if this was a promise from the emperor or a letter from him.

"Ben Dome does what he says! With this master's head as a guarantee! Chang Yu smiled and pointed to his head.

The crowd was in an uproar.

The words of the Lord Governor also look down on our Ning Yuan army, although the Qing army is fierce and fights with it, it is more lost and won less, but the brothers have never been intimidated......

Yes, they all have one head and two eyes, and the Qinggou is not three heads and six arms, and I have really not been cowardly in fighting it for a long time......

The generals spoke one after another to vent their dissatisfaction.

"I don't want to coax you to know best in your own hearts, you don't need to explain anything to the governor here, you really have the ability to prove that you are still a man with actions!" Chang Yu looked disdainful and said something heart-piercing: "This governor and you are not making this bet to prove that the eunuchs are stronger than you, but to prove that you are a group of cowards and even inferior to the eunuchs!" ”

"Lord Overseer" Wu Sangui got up and shouted angrily, the generals were also angry, Wu Zhong, who had been drunk and hazy, raised his eyebrows and reached out to hold the hilt of the knife.

Wu Sangui glanced at him, took a long breath, raised his hand and waved his hand to the general, "Wait out!" ”

The fire in the eyes of the "general" subordinates, the kind of fire that raged fiercely.

"Go out" Wu Sangui yelled, and the chiefs of the subordinates sighed and hung their heads one by one, and then faintly came all kinds of scolding from outside, such as dead eunuchs and the like.
