The factory guard of the Ming Dynasty, in the hands of the emperor today, should be at its peak!

Thinking like this, Wu Sangui couldn't help but be shocked again, would there be factory guards around him?

Immediately, he thought about whether he was disrespectful to the emperor, whether he said anything that should not be said, and whether he did anything that should not or could not be done?

Don't say it, Wu Sangui felt a little cold sweat in his heart when he thought about it, at least when he was in Liaodong, he had already made mistakes!

After being stunned for a long time, suddenly Wu Sangui's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and suddenly, how did the whole person come to life: the emperor didn't seem to care about the things in the past, otherwise, he would not have been confused and would have gone out with the car, promoted himself to the chief military officer, continued to lead the troops, and suppressed the Ming rebels. Now it's a secret decree given to him, this trust, which others don't have......

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Could it be that after he went out with the car, his ability was recognized by the emperor. Yes, it must be himself, no matter how you say it, he is also a capable person, and he is one of the few outstanding young generals among the Ming generals!

Thinking about it, Wu Sangui suddenly thought of bad things as good things. Isn't it very likely that there are factory guards around you? Then if you perform well, you will be able to feedback to the emperor's ears through the secret agents of the factory guard!

Thinking of this, he made a major decision in his heart, and he must perform well in the future!

So, Wu Sangui didn't say a word, immediately assembled the cavalry under his command, and told the general soldiers of Datong that he was ordered to go to Beijing to escort grain and grass, and then left Datong and went east.

He really didn't look like he was fighting a war, and he didn't carry the materials needed for the battle, just like marching in the Guannai in peacetime.

When he arrived in Jindi, when he arrived at the residence of Chen Qiyu, the governor of Xuanda, he went to meet the governor again. It was here that he secretly replenished the supplies, and then exited the customs at a very fast speed and escaped into the vast grassland.

…………

And somewhere in the steppe, far from the Great Wall, a huge contingent was marching. Needless to say, this team was ordered to escort the population and materials back to Liaodong's Chai Shihua Division.

His strength consisted of five hundred cavalry and two thousand infantry.

The people who came from the northwest of the Ming Dynasty and were escorted to Liaodong were all young and strong people selected by Jierharang, and there were not even strong women, all of them were men. All of them have their feet tied, and they can only act together in a group of ten people. drove the grain trucks to Liaodong.

There were about 4,500 of these young men, but the escort force was only 2,500, and they had to watch the grain and grass. The pressure of this guard is still a bit big.

Therefore, after setting off from Guihua City, Chai Shihua took the initiative to say to Xilin Jueluo: "My lord, this is a long way to Liaodong. These fools are definitely unwilling to go, and the last general is wondering, they will definitely think of a way to escape! ”

"Huh?" When Xilin Jueluo heard this, he snorted, looked at him with slanted eyes, and asked noncommittally, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

The vast grassland is too vast, no matter whether these slaves will starve to death after escaping, but if they escape and hide on the grassland, it will be really difficult to search for this number of people.

Therefore, he heard Chai Shihua's implicit meaning, so he asked.

"Exactly, my lord is wise!" When Chai Shihua heard this, he immediately replied with a smile, "The last general thinks, it is better to arrange for the last general to go down in the next few days and expose the flaws of the guards, so that those fools will definitely want to escape, so they will be arrested, and then they will be executed in public in the most painful way, and the chickens and monkeys will be killed." In this way, on the way to Liaodong, even if those fools really found the opportunity to escape, they would think that it was a flaw deliberately exposed by the last general, and they would not dare to escape again! ”

Hearing this ghost idea, Xilin Jueluo couldn't help but glance at Chai Shihua, nodded and praised: "Yes, this is a good idea, you can just watch it, as long as you can safely escort these people and materials to Liaodong, I will ask the emperor for credit." ”

Chai Shihua couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, his eyes were about to laugh into a slit, he thanked him repeatedly, and then patted his chest and assured that he had a way to deal with these fools, and then went to secretly arrange it.

Chai Shihua was indeed not wrong, these young men really didn't want to go to Liaodong. Their home is in the northwest of Daming, although the home is gone, but after all, they are familiar with this side. There are also young and strong, their relatives were also captured by Jianyu and stayed in Guihua City, if they were to be escorted to Liaodong, they didn't know if they would be able to see each other again in the future, and it would be life and death. No matter who is replaced, of course, they are unwilling.

So, on the evening two days later, the young Zhuang who was escorted was stunned to find that the Jianyu army seemed to be lax in its guards. As a result, the groups of people who didn't want to go to Liaodong immediately wanted to escape, but as a result, there was naturally no accident, they were all arrested, and none of them ran away.

Early the next morning, Chai Shihua mercilessly used his trick to "kill chickens and monkeys", and in front of all the young and strong, he dragged the fleeing twenty people to death with war horses. has been dragged by the cavalry, as if to remind them that whoever dares to run away will be the end.

After this incident, even Xilin Jueluo felt that these slaves were more peaceful, so he happily praised Chai Shihua.

"My lord has won the prize, this is what the last general should do!" Chai Shihua, when he heard this, was proud in his heart, but on the surface, he said very modestly, "The adults must also know this method, but they just didn't say it." The last general is an errand runner. Besides, if it weren't for the adults, the last general wouldn't be so at ease, and things would definitely not have been done so properly! ”

Listening to his sycophants, Xilin Jueluo felt very comfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but have a little more affection for Chai Shihua, so he was willing to chat with him.

This made Chai Shihua hug Xilin Jueluo's thighs tightly, and served carefully all the way, and the two of them seemed to be much more harmonious than when they set off.

This team has about 7,000 people, plus so many grain carts, even if it looks small on the grassland, but the movement is not small. Therefore, it was not that the Mongols found out and came to check, but when they saw that it was the banner of Jianlu, they eventually retreated.

At the beginning, Chai Shihua was still a little nervous, afraid that those Mongolians would rob it. To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in the two thousand five hundred paces under his command. The descendants who originally defected with him had long been exhausted in the confrontation with the Ming army. Now these are more of the teams he pulled up later, and they can only bully and bully ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Chai Shihua felt a little hateful. That Wang Shipet is dead, so forget it; A large part of his descendants died at the hands of Wu Sangui of the Guanning Army. This time, even if it was lucky, he was ordered to go back to Liaodong. Otherwise, he will definitely be able to lure him into the ambush circle of the Qing army and kill him!

Now that he has become the general of the Great Qing Dynasty, he has also arrived in Liaodong, with the backing of the Great Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui has also arrived in Liaodong, there will always be a day when the account will be settled!

Several times, Chai Shihua was ruthless in his heart, thinking to himself.

Having said that, when he saw that the Mongols were all retreating and did not dare to covet these grains and grasses, he became emboldened and relaxed his vigilance.

No, in the evening, the cavalry that had been on guard around was reported that another Mongol had come to spy on them.

In this regard, Chai Shihua disagreed, and even said a little impatiently: "Don't care about those poor ghosts, they will naturally retreat when they see the banner of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Of course, there have been special circumstances, that is, there are Mongolians who are unwilling and have so many grains and grass materials, so they come close to verify.

At this time, Xilin Jueluo came forward, scolded the leader of the Mongols and excused himself again and again, and then walked away in disgrace.

Regarding Chai Shihua's sycophants who followed, Xilin Jueluo said confidently: "On this grassland, it is the world of my Qing Dynasty. Those who are not convinced by my Qing Dynasty have all been subdued by my Qing Dynasty. My Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has a will, let them do whatever they want, they have to do! ”

Such a thing, even Ming Guo can't do it. Chai Shihua personally experienced that the strength of the Qing Dynasty in his heart was so admired that he threw himself to the ground. Anyway, it's okay to be idle, so I just pat myself around Xilin Jueluo.

He didn't know that the Mongols who had been spotted by the horses this time had retreated as expected after watching the marching procession from a distance. However, they were not the wild Mongols on the steppe, but the Mongols in Wu Sangui's cavalry who did not collect at night.

Returning to Wu Sangui's resting place, he immediately said excitedly: "Dashuai, Chai Shihua's department is carrying people and materials, and he really camped twenty miles away for the night. ”

Hearing this, Wu Sangui couldn't help but be overjoyed, and finally found it.

"Dashuai, the subordinates didn't have any vigilance at all when they saw those escorted prisoners, and they actually let their subordinates approach. The guards were also loose, and they didn't look like they were elite. The night did not close, and he added excitedly.

When Wu Sangui heard this, he sneered and said, "Just Chai Shihua's idiot, what soldiers can he bring!" If he hadn't escaped fast every time, Ben Shuai would have killed him a long time ago. ”

With that, he immediately began to deploy.

Wu Sangui is not a stranger to fighting on the grassland, after all, he is a family of generals, and Chai Shihua's straw bag is his many defeated generals, and he is also a familiar opponent, knowing what to do in any situation.

……

It was late at night, it was already the end of September, and it was already a little cold in the Mongolian steppe. The grain carts, the leeward ground fenced by the livestock, were the places where the false tartars slept in shelter from the wind.

The people of the Ming Dynasty who were arrested naturally could not have enough clothes, and they were shivering from the cold one by one, but they couldn't get any shelter, so they had to huddle into a pile and hug each other to keep warm.

Under the night, the sky is full of stars, but the hearts of these Ming people are full of despair.

Some of them could not have made it to Liaodong alive. Before, dead people had already begun to appear.

These fake Tartars are also fellow countrymen, but when it comes to dealing with their own people, they are ruthless. After a day's journey, they were given very little food, not even much for the livestock. Some people in the Ming Dynasty are in a hurry, and they can't take care of a lot, so they go to the mouths of the animals to grab food, and they will immediately attract a whipping.

In the silence, suddenly, someone spoke in a low voice with worry: "Second brother, hold on, hold on." Brother heard that Shiba Dog said that the imperial court officials and soldiers won the battle in Liaodong. As long as we get to Liaodong, there will be a chance to go home! ”

Obviously, Chai Shihua's sycophants made Xilin Jueluo comfortable, such a long way, he was so idle and panicked, chatting and chatting, he would naturally reveal something, and he was accidentally heard by these Ming people.

"Brother, don't lie to me. I'm so tired, I just want to lie down, and it's better to die here than to die in Liaodong. ”

"Really, brother didn't lie to you. Do you know why you want us to go to Liaodong? It's that the Han people in Liaodong were rescued by the imperial court more and less labor, you know? ”

“……”

Hearing the conversation between the two brothers, the people of Daming on the side couldn't help but participate in the discussion in a low voice.

"Is it true? Can the imperial court officers and soldiers win the Jianyu? Can you save the people of Liaodong? ”

"It's impossible, Jianyu is invincible, this time, even Wang Dashuai was killed by them!"

"Yes, if the imperial court can win the war, Liaodong will be recovered long ago."

“……”

Most people didn't believe that the court officials and soldiers could win, which made the person who spoke at the beginning anxious, and his voice couldn't help but be a little higher: "Really, my ears are sharp, although I hear it a little vaguely, but the general meaning is eight or nine and ten!" ”

When someone heard this, they immediately became nervous, and immediately reminded in a low voice and anxiously: "Shhh, don't be so loud, alarm those Tartars, we will be beaten together." ”

When the man heard this, he immediately shut up, turned his head to look at the guard, and saw that there was no movement, so he continued in a low voice: "I slept like a pig, it's fine." ”

Even so, no one dared to run, and who knows if the guards were actually pretending to be asleep. Those who fled before were all dragged into a skeleton and hung behind the war horse, which was a warning.

After he had finished speaking, he persuaded his brother to continue to persevere.

However, don't talk about others, even his brother doesn't believe it, it's really that they are in the northwest, and their confidence in the imperial court can be said to be extremely weak. Even if that were the case, they felt that they would have a better chance of dying.

Seeing this situation, he sighed in his heart, seeing that it was not early, and he would have to maintain his strength to hurry tomorrow, so he could only sleep first, and then persuade his younger brother tomorrow.

However, thinking that his family was ruined, he was left with such a younger brother, and he couldn't hold on to it, and if it was gone, he wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. I secretly prayed to the heavens in my heart: "Father, mother, if you have a spirit in the sky, you can give your dream to your brother and let him cheer up, otherwise, the child is really helpless!" ”

Worried, I really couldn't sleep, I opened my eyes and looked around, inspected the environment, and thought to myself, if you might as well run away, maybe you can save your brother.

However, when he saw it like this, he suddenly became a little stupid.
