Chapter 363: Three Birds with One Stone

decided to return to Daming, Wu Sangui thought, after all, Shanhaiguan was opened by him, although it was said to deal with Li Zicheng, but Manchu is a foreign race after all, this is his sin, if he has no credit, even if he returns to Daming in the future, he will definitely be excluded!

"The 140,000 army is only 40,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry is the most elite, and it is not easy to withdraw from Henan at this time without making Dolgon suspicious!" Wu Sangui muttered to himself in a voice that no one could hear except himself!

"Dashuai!" At this time, Yang Kun, another deputy of Wu Sangui, came to Wu Sangui on horseback.

As Wu Sangui's number one confidant, Yang Kun is undoubtedly the most trusted by Wu Sangui, and he is also the only one in the entire Wu Sangui army who knows that Wu Sangui has long been in contact with Daming.

Wu Sangui nodded at Yang Kun and asked, "Are you all ready?" ”

"It's all set." Yang Kun replied.

"In that case, everything is going according to plan!" Wu Sangui said calmly.

"Yes, Dashuai!"

"In the future, if my subordinates are not there, I hope that the marshal will take care of himself!" Yang Kun paused and said something in a deep voice, then rode away!

Wu Sangui nodded, now Yang Kun is in command of the 100,000 army, according to the plan, he will soon surrender back to the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning army has him Wu Sangui and Gao Di is enough, and he can also take advantage of this to take the Guanning army out of Henan!

Piyang County.

After most of the day's march, Zhang Kuishan and the Red Lady led the Ying Long Army and other 150,000 troops to this place, and there was only one day away from Nanyang.

"Newspaper"

"Captured an enemy spy, he specified that he wanted to see Commander Zhang!" A scout came to report.

The red lady frowned and looked at Zhang Kuishan, obviously a little puzzled why an enemy spy would specify to see Zhang Kuishan.

Zhang Kuishan was also puzzled, and then he thought of something.

"Bring him here!" Zhang Kuishan said calmly.

After a while, the captured enemy spies were pressed in front of Zhang Kuishan and the red lady.

This is a thirty-year-old man, he was deliberately arrested, the purpose is to see Zhang Kuishan.

"Which one is Commander Zhang of the Ying Long Army?" The man asked.

"I am!" After Zhang Kuishan finished answering, he stared at this person and asked, "Who are you, why do you want to see this army commander?" ”

Zhang Kuishan had already thought of the identity of this person, but he was not sure yet.

The man didn't answer immediately, but glanced at the many soldiers who were marching around him and said mysteriously: "My master has some words for me to bring to Commander Zhang, but this is not the place to speak, and I also ask Commander Zhang to move, and the little one will not dare to hide it." ”

Zhang Kuishan nodded, hearing this person say this, he was already ninety percent sure of this person's identity.

"General Red Lady should come with you too!" Zhang Kuishan asked the red lady to go with him.

There are some things that he has to tell the red lady after he knows it, rather than this, it is better to let the red lady go with him, and there is no need to waste more time to explain later.

The red lady nodded.

The man glanced at the red lady and did not object.

The trio avoided the army to prevent what they were saying from being heard by others.

"Say, are you Wu Sangui's person, what did he ask you to say?" Zhang Kuishan asked directly.

Before sending troops, Zhang Kuishan was summoned into the palace by Zhu Ci, and Zhu Cishan told Zhang Kuishan that Wu Sangui secretly returned to the Ming Dynasty, and asked him to act when he arrived in Henan, so Zhang Kuishan guessed the identity of the man at once.

Hearing Zhang Kuishan's words that the man was actually sent by Wu Sangui, the red lady was immediately taken aback, but she didn't say a word, she just watched from the side, she believed that Zhang Kuishan would explain to her later.

"The master asked the little one to bring you a letter, and you will know everything after you read it." As he spoke, the man tore open his trouser leg and took out a secret letter sewn on the inner layer.

Hiding so secretly must not be a simple matter, Zhang Kuishan's face suddenly became solemn.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Kuishan opened it and read it carefully.

The more he looked at it, Zhang Kuishan's face gradually became heavy, and he pondered on the spot.

After a while, Zhang Kuishan said to the spy: "You go back and tell Wu Sangui that the commander of this army will act according to his plan." ”

The man nodded, and without saying much, he turned around and left quickly, and disappeared in the forest in an instant, without causing the slightest movement, and his skills were not weak, and it seemed that he had undergone special training.

"This Commander, this" After watching the man disappear, the red lady said to Zhang Kuishan with doubts.

"Let's take a look at this letter from Wu Sangui first." Zhang Kuishan handed the letter to the red lady.

After the red lady took it, she also looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more shocked she became, she couldn't have imagined that Wu Sangui had already returned to Daming, and had set up such a big plan. Not only did he send 100,000 troops to them to attack Li Zicheng together, but he also promised to help the generals burn the grain and grass that Li Zicheng was raising everywhere, so as to hit Li Zicheng's morale and enable them to fight quickly.

Wu Sangui's plan was to reveal his marching route to show them, and let her and Zhang Kuishan lead the army to ambush and ambush at Longfeng Bend, Guangyang Town, thirty miles north of Nanyang.

"No wonder!" The red lady muttered.

She finally knew why in the past few years, every time her army had a conflict with Wu Sangui's army, Wu Sangui's army always retreated first, and she thought that Wu Sangui wanted to deal with Li Zicheng with her, but it turned out that Wu Sangui had already returned to Daming.

"Wu Sangui is really a good plan! Kill three birds with one stone! However, Commander Zhang, do you think this matter can be believed? The red lady asked.

This kind of thing is to take some risks, and the red lady is a little hesitant.

"Naturally, I can believe that he Wu Sangui is not stupid, the Manchus don't treat the Han people under him as human beings at all, besides, the Ming Dynasty is thriving, and the defeat of the Manchus is a matter of time, there should be no fake." Zhang Kuishan chose to believe it, not only believing that Wu Sangui was not so stupid, but also believing in the strength of the Fifth Army under his command, even if Wu Sangui really dared to play any tricks, he would not be able to please him.

"Since this is the case, then how to act, let Commander Zhang make a decision." After thinking about it, the red lady taught Zhang Kuishan the right to command.

Zhang Kuishan nodded, and ordered unceremoniously: "The army will turn around and go to Guangyang Town north of Nanyang first, and then attack Nanyang after solving Wu Sangui's matter." ”

Choosing to listen to Xin and Wu Sangui's plan, Zhang Kuishan will act according to the plan in Wu Sangui's letter and lead the army to Guangyang Town to ambush Wu Sangui's army.
