After confirming that the Tartars had retreated, Lu Xiangsheng, who was just about to risk his life to rescue Tushan, breathed a sigh of relief, and he could no longer stand, even if he was the secretary of the military department and commanded the soldiers and horses of the world, he was like an ordinary soldier, sitting on the cold ground. Compared to other people's, he was still a little confused.

If the retreat of the Tartars is actually to capture the old and let his side relax his vigilance, Lu Xiangsheng thinks it is unlikely. Because the situation just now was critical, there was no need for the Tartars to do this. Evacuated in a hurry, the greatest possibility, is to have to go! Don't...... Could it be that his suspicious tactics have worked?

This thought flashed in his heart, but soon, Lu Xiangsheng denied the idea himself. If his suspicious plan had worked, he would not have hastily withdrawn until now. From this situation, it is more likely that there must be something that made Dolgon make up his mind to withdraw his troops immediately, but what is it? Could it really be that reinforcements have arrived?

Lu Xiangsheng naturally couldn't guess that it was Emperor Chongzhen who knew about his idea by eavesdropping on the seeds, and immediately cooperated, so that the hesitant Dolgon made up his mind to withdraw his troops.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and didn't understand, so he buried this doubt in his heart, and after resting for a while, he stood up and walked over to the bodies of those comrades who died in battle. Now, it's time to tidy up and settle them!

In the military tent where Gao Qiqian was located, he and Wang Chengen both sat opposite each other with sad faces. Due to the consumption of those who dare to fight, especially the casualties of the Tianxiong Army, the speed of advancing towards Jiazhuang here is getting slower and slower, whether it is Gao Qiqian or Wang Chengen, they are at a loss for this.

To be honest, before this, Wang Chengen did not know about military affairs. In his opinion, the battle between the two armies is more of a comparison of numbers, there are 50,000 horses here, how can such a large army rush forward, right?

But since he came here, he has seen those soldiers who usually boast that they are elite divisions and look very powerful, but when they encounter the Tartar army, they can't resist much time, and even some armies are about to collapse at the touch of a button, not to mention one-on-one, even one-to-four, one-to-ten, it's all a problem. Fighting a war is not just a numbers game at all. Including morale, training, command, etc., many things are not what they imagine in ordinary times, nor are they what they look like on ordinary days!

Although if Lu Xiangsheng can't be saved, Wang Chengen doesn't have much responsibility. But when he came from Jingshi, he naturally knew how much the emperor expected from this. As the emperor's servant, he naturally thought that it would be best to save Lu Xiangsheng. However, at this time, he actually didn't have much hope for it!

At this time, suddenly a personal guard rushed into the account, without reporting, with a surprised face, and said loudly: "My lord, the Manchu Tartars have withdrawn, and the Manchu Tartars have withdrawn......

"What?" Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen almost stood up in unison, with an incredulous expression.

Especially Gao Qiqian, who was the most excited, walked quickly to the guards, and shouted: "You say it again, the Tartars have withdrawn?" ”

"Yes, the Tartars in front of us have retreated, and they are pulling out their camps and retreating north!" The guard hurriedly replied, pointing out with his hand, "Your Excellency, you can take a look for yourself!" ”

Needless to say, it's definitely something to see.

Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen both rushed to the outside of the big tent together, climbed the watchtower, and found that the Tartars in the distance were indeed retreating. Under the cover of cavalry, the army was heading north. Seeing that the soldiers of the Ming army in the whole battalion were cheering happily, they were happy for a while, and suddenly they were like a lightning strike, their faces were pale, and they were stupid.

And Wang Chengen, who was beside him, was ecstatic, but he immediately found that Gao Qiqian's expression was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Gonggong Gao, the Tartars have withdrawn, why are you still unhappy?" ”

Lu ...... Lu Shangshu is afraid that he will be more auspicious! Gao Qiqian said a little dejectedly, "It's over, it's over, it's all over!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Chengen was immediately stupid, thinking about it, it seems that the reason why the Manchu Tartars stopped in front was to prevent himself from saving Lu Xiangsheng. If you withdraw now, you will definitely retire when you have achieved your goal.

Thinking about it like this, Wang Chengen's joy disappeared all of a sudden. Thinking that the emperor would know that Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, he would definitely be very disappointed and furious, and he immediately became sad. At the same time, he stared at Gao Qiqian, thinking about whether to arrest him and return to Beijing now.

The two stayed on the watchtower and worried, even if those generals came to the Chinese military tent to report the good news, they ignored it.

For those generals, it was good that they didn't run away, and they did their best, at least compared to before, this time they really did their best. Even if some of them thought of Lu Xiangsheng's killing, they didn't feel that they were in trouble. Therefore, each of them is happy. Only Lu Da and Yang Guozhu were as worried as they were, and asked Gao Qiqian for instructions to send Ye Bushu to Jiazhuang to find out.

At this time, there was already a night galloping in, and while driving the horse to run in the camp, he shouted excitedly: "This soldier has defended Jiazhuang, and Jiazhuang has relieved the siege ......."

Hearing this, a spirit in the midst of a stunned rooster suddenly jumped up, and the amplitude was so great that he almost fell off the watchtower. However, he didn't care about this and hurriedly verified the situation.

After a while, he knelt on the watchtower in a gaffe, thanking God for saving his old life! Then, he immediately ordered the whole army to march and go to Jiazhuang to join Lu Shangshu. And Wang Chengen was also very happy, and hurriedly arranged for someone to return to Beijing to report the good news to the emperor.

When the news spread throughout the army, all the soldiers had a change in mentality that they didn't even know about. These days with the extremely powerful Tartar field, I actually persevered, and the final result was that the Tartars retreated, and their side won!

Although there is a gap in the casualty ratio between the two sides, and although the Tartars are still so arrogant, in the hearts of these Ming soldiers, they no longer seem to be so afraid.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen had just finished arranging the affairs of the refugees and returned to the palace. At this time, he learned the news that Lu Xiangsheng was okay from Wang Chengen's eavesdropping seed, and he couldn't help but be very happy.

In fact, through the eavesdropping seeds on Wu Zhong's side, he already knew that the fake news had successfully passed on to Dolgon. But how effective it was, because Wu Zhong was taken away, he didn't know. When he heard it, he was relieved.

Now at this time, only he knows what the real reason for the withdrawal of the Manchu army is, and he can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart. There is a feeling of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a text in the eavesdropping system displaying: using a trick to make the Manchu army retreat, thus achieving his goal, this is an experience of becoming a commander, and rewarding a C-level eavesdropping seed.
