Chapter 449: Digging a Pit
Early the next morning, Wu Sangui ordered Shen Jianghu to lead 2,000 cavalry to expel the Qing army within a radius of 20 miles from Ningyuan City, and all of them were intercepted in the northern mountain pass and not allowed to take a step south.
At the same time, Jia Waixiong in the city led two hundred Jinwu Wei elite cavalry to go straight to the West Mountain.
In the governor's mansion, Chang Yu sat in the hall after washing and looked at the breakfast on the table in a daze, the Qing army was approaching under pressure, and he couldn't sleep well at night, and he had no appetite at this time.
Li Tiezhu and Tu Yuan stood at the door and watched Wu Zhong practice boxing in the courtyard, and the two whispered something from time to time.
Chang Yu glanced sideways at the two of them, and saw that there was a trace of disdain on the corner of Tu Yuan's mouth, so he called him to his side: "That fool in the courtyard is extremely arrogant with a little strength, boasting that there is no one in the army, you go and teach him a lesson."
Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Strength? Bigger than me? But Tiezhu said that he was very powerful! ”
"It's a great begging, Lao Tzu let him lie down in minutes, and he just pretended to force him with some strength, what's the matter, don't you dare to get him?" The little eunuch began to fan the flames.
Tu Yuan only had a lot of strength when he heard it, and the little eunuch instigated him, snorted, turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
Chang Yu sighed and got up, he was under great mental pressure during the war, and he watched the play to relieve him, Li Tiezhu moved a chair and put it under the corridor for the little eunuch to sit on.
After a few punches, Wu Zhong was covered in hot sweat, and he was ready to go back to the room to change his clothes, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a big man in front of him, and he took a step back to see that it was the person who came last night, and it was said that he was a fierce general under the little eunuch.
"Practice?" Tu Yuan seemed to be smiling.
Wu Zhong frowned: "You are not an opponent"
Grass, it's really crazy enough, Tu Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed, Wu Zhong took three or four steps back, and he was shocked, how could this thing have so much strength.
"The overseer said that you are very old, my brother is not convinced and wants to learn a thing or two, Master Wu asks for advice" Tu Yuan smiled.
Wu Zhong turned his head and glanced at the little eunuch watching the play under the corridor with a smile on his face, and knew that it was inevitable today, but who was afraid of who in the fight, and looked back at Tu Yuan, who was half a head taller than him: "Please"
Tu Yuan was no longer verbose when he heard this, raising his leg was a kick sweep, Wu Zhong sneered, seeing that his empty door was open, his left hand blocked his right fist and was about to attack, but with a cold snort he fell over four or five meters away, and the bones all over his body seemed to fall apart.
One force will drop ten times, Tu Yuan is born with divine power, and there are very few people who can block it head-on under a full blow, except for Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, Luo Hu, Wu Sangui, and others with the same divine power.
Wu Zhong relied on his superb martial arts skills, made a mistake in judgment, and took a hard move, and the end was swept away by one leg!
Awesome, the little eunuch shouted and stroked his palms, Tu Yuan looked back and raised his eyebrows, with a proud face.
Wu Zhong's face was blushing, he rolled over from the ground, and rushed towards Tu Yuan with a cold face.
Heh, Tu Yuan sneered, raised his leg and kicked it over, and that knew that Wu Zhong flashed sideways, and swished in front of him, without saying a word, he hit Tu Yuan's chest with a blow.
Rubbing, Tu Yuan took three steps back, clutching his chest with a painful expression.
Good! The little eunuch was chanting again.
You you, Tu Yuan received the stimulus, and rushed towards Wu Zhong with a roar......
"Lord Overseer, General Wu is invited" At this time, a personal guard came to report.
Chang Yu got up violently and left in a hurry, Tu Yuan and Wu Zhong were still rolling on the ground in the courtyard and roaring.
In the General Soldier's Mansion, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong had been waiting for a long time, and Chang Yu entered the door and saw the two of them with solemn faces, and raised their eyebrows: "The Qing army has moved?" ”
Wu Sangui shook his head with a wry smile, and pointed to a person beside him: "Say it again to the overseer."
Only then did Chang Yu notice that Wu Sangui was a weather-faced man, Wu Zhao, who was sent to the Qing army camp to deliver a letter to Dolgon.
Dolgon did not detain him after he was questioned strictly, and released them a day after the departure of the Qing army.
Wu Zhao and his entourage walked day and night in the snow, and finally returned to Ningyuan City this morning.
"The vanguard of the Qing army is 8,000, led by Abatai, Hauge, Nikan, and Luo Luohun, and the main force of Dolgon will arrive in seven days at the latest!"
Eight thousand cavalry, not to be underestimated!
Chang Yu's eyes narrowed, and the four fierce generals sent were all a few of the more powerful guys in the Eight Banners, who fought all year round and made great achievements, each of them was a hard stubble and Wu Sangui's old friend, no wonder his face was so ugly.
"Mr. Wu, do you remember how Inspector Yuan died?" The little eunuch suddenly laughed, picked up the teacup next to him and looked at Wu Sangui.
Fourteen years ago, Yuan Chonghuan was killed by Chongzhen, and the crime is known to the world, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!
But Wu Sangui and Tang Tong's faces changed drastically, and they were silent, because the imperial court had not rehabilitated Yuan Chonghuan at this time.
Many people think that Yuan Chonghuan's crime of collaborating with the enemy was not rehabilitated until the Qianlong period, in fact, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Kuang Lu and Liang Feixin (Yuan Chonghuan's number one staff when he was the second superintendent) were rehabilitated by Yuan Chonghuan, but it was just that Chongzhen was worried about state affairs and had no time to do so, and it was impossible to admit his mistakes with his rigid and conceited character, until 1645 Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty reinstated him and gave him a burial, and in 1648 Emperor Yongli added his praise! In other words, the Ming Dynasty once rehabilitated Yuan Chonghuan.
But at this time, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan's crime was still that he was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, even though most of the people in the government and the opposition now understood that it was just Huang Taiji's counter-plot at that time.
Even the old Liaodong troops who hate Yuan Chonghuan the most must not acquiesce in this fact, although their behavior is controversial, but it is indeed unjust!
Since the imperial court did not rehabilitate him, how could Wu Sangui dare to discuss it, let alone in front of the big boss of Dongchang.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Chang Yu sighed: "Huang Taiji must not have expected that someone would play this trick on his son many years after his death."
"The Governor is going to make a plot against Hauge?" Wu Sangui and Tang Tong were shocked.
The little eunuch held the teacup and said with a smile: "Why not, it is only right for the father to repay the debt of the son"
Wu Weiying never thought that one day he would sleep in a cave, although it was not as magnificent as his Hou Ye's mansion, but it was thousands of times better than the wind and cold in the wilderness.
The cave is wide, the thousands of people and horses that can accommodate it do not seem crowded at all, the cave is warm and clean and there is a clear spring, if it is not during the war, it is really a good place to explore the ancient world.
Wu Weiying was very interested in entering the cave last night, and after walking back and forth several times, he immediately ordered the soldiers to build a compartment for him in the cave with wood and stone, after all, how could the dignified marquis be in the same room with the pawns and sleep on the ground.
Hou Ye's breakfast is also very rich, rice porridge side dishes and game barbecue.
When I was just finished washing up and was about to feast, a cavalry entered the mountain, and the leader was burly and strong, with a fierce face, and greeted him after entering the cave, and then introduced himself.
Why did Jin Wuwei's people also come, Wu Weiying was surprised, and Jia Waixiong said something that made him uncomfortable but helpless: "By the order of the governor, I will now take over the command of the infantry battalion."
Wu Weiying's mouth can be stuffed into a big chicken leg, the Shenji battalion has a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the emperor appointed him as the commander when he left Beijing.
The mouth was slowly closed, and the Marquis of Wu admitted it, this mountain is far away from the emperor, he is just not convinced, where to reason, or that thought, what do you ask me to do, I will do it, win the credit, lose and run first.
Jia Waixiong was not as elaborate as Marquis Wu, nor was he so big, and after the soldiers finished breakfast, he inspected the infantry battalion in the cave
Three thousand five hundred and four people, each with a gun, a bow and a knife on their backs, and ammunition bags tied around their waists.
"Sending troops at the right time" Jia Waixiong's voice is like a bell, and his words are concise and to the point!
Wu Weiying was taken aback: "Let's fight?" Qing, Qing, the Qing army has arrived, how many people? ”
Jia Waixiong glanced at him: "Master Hou atoned for his sins, this is a military secret, and the overseer ordered that it should not be leaked."
"Ben Hou is an outsider?" Wu Weiying was furious, but then reacted and his face softened: "Eh, this time...... Ben Hou doesn't have to go to war? ”
Jia Waixiong nodded: "The overseer ordered the Hou Ye to sit in the mountains to assist Commander Hu in managing the mountain fortifications."
Wu Weiying couldn't help but be happy, but he still snorted coldly, sitting in the mountains and saying it sounded good, as if he was the boss in the mountains, but let the eunuch who assisted the surnamed Hu not set himself up.
After a short pause, Jia Waixiong led 200 Jinwu Wei elite cavalry, together with Fan Jiaqian's more than 200 Gongzi battalion and 3,000 infantry battalions to come out of the cave from the west, and went straight to the direction of the Tiger Pass due north through Heifeng Mountain.
