Chapter 436: Yunyang is in danger
Yunyang Mansion is located in the northernmost part of Huguang, directly bordering Shaanxi.
At the beginning, Wu Sangui led his troops into Huguang to take advantage of the Yunyang Mansion.
It's just that this time it's very different to regain your state of mind.
He no longer expects to make a great contribution to shaking the government and the opposition, but only hopes to be able to take a few cities in Yunyang and find some grounds.
...
...
Now it is Cao Fengnian who guards Yunyang.
This person is not from the old Shun army, but a serious officer and soldier.
The governor of Huguang blocked Yingxi and sent him to guard Yunyang, which was also intended to balance the generals of the Shun army.
After all, Li Guo and Gao Yigong led the heavy troops to sit in Jingmen, and no one dared to guarantee that they would willingly work for the imperial court.
What if it's another Zhang Xianzhong?
You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
The governor did this just in case.
Of course, Cao Fengnian's own strength is beyond doubt.
Among the generals in the late Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to stand out without some real skills.
Cao Fengnian's greatest ability is to suppress bandits.
At the beginning, the imperial court sent Zuo Liangyu to suppress Zhang Xianzhong, and Cao Fengnian was one of the few generals in the left army who could fight.
Although Zuo Liangyu has fallen now, most of his subordinates have not been affected.
A fierce general like Cao Fengnian is naturally very important to the imperial court.
Cao Fengnian is not only good at fighting, but also training.
The soldiers he trained were never afraid to fight.
Both recruits and veterans have a spirit that is not afraid of death.
Except for the Shence Army, which was personally organized and trained by today's son, Cao Fengnian really didn't fear anyone in terms of combat effectiveness.
But he said that on this day, he watched the soldiers practice as usual, and suddenly a personal soldier came to report that he saw the army of the Tartars slaughtering towards Yunyang Fuzhi.
Cao Fengnian was taken aback.
Of course, he knew that this army was led by Wu Sangui, who had also borrowed from Yunyang Mansion to go to Jingzhou.
It's just that he never thought that Wu Sangui would come back.
After all, Yunyang is too poor.
Compared with the wealthy Jingzhou, Yunyang couldn't be poorer.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the world of difference.
Wu Sangui wouldn't choose this kind of place even if he wanted to fight the autumn breeze, right?
"Can you hear clearly? Did the Tartars really come to the city of Chaofu? Lying about the military is a felony! ”
Cao Fengnian glared fiercely, almost scaring the pro-soldier into peeing.
"Cao Junmen, what he said is the truth. I also hope that Cao Junmen will be clear! ”
Cao Fengnian waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's not a big deal if the Tartar really comes." Wu Thief thought that we were a good bully, so we let him see what a real fierce general was. ”
Cao Fengnian looked down on Wu Sangui and his ilk very much.
First, this person betrayed the Qing Dynasty and was a sinner in the Ming Dynasty.
Second, the reason why this person can soar is because of the relationship. Wu Sangui's uncle is Zu Dashou, the first person in Liaozhen, and he has also achieved the high position of the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan by virtue of this relationship.
Born in a poor family like Cao Fengnian, he looks down on a son-in-law like Wu Sangui the most.
Why can you enjoy glory and wealth as soon as you are born, why do you have to work hard step by step? Just because you have a good dad?
Cao Fengnian's heart was full of contempt and disdain for Wu Sangui, he very much hoped to find an opportunity to step on Wu Sangui fiercely, and now this opportunity was actually sent to his mouth.
Wouldn't it be a shame to yourself if you didn't take a bite again?
Cao Fengnian said coldly: "If the order goes down, the whole city will be under martial law." Didn't Wu Sangui want to come to fight the autumn wind? Lao Tzu let him hit his head and break the blood! ”
...
...
Wu Sangui ordered a stop at a distance of twenty miles from Yun County.
Most of the military rations had already been consumed, although it was barely enough, but Wu Sangui decided to order the soldiers to go and fetch food just in case.
Fighting grain is a better way to say, but in fact, it is fighting the autumn wind.
In this regard, the Qing army did not have any psychological pressure.
When they were still in the Guan Ning Army, they often killed good people and risked their merits, and now they are even more fearless when they descend to the Qing Dynasty, and vent all the evil in human nature.
They will not hesitate to snatch up the villagers' food, and they don't care if these villagers will starve to death because of the lack of food.
Wu Sangui gave all the soldiers three days to grab as much food as they could.
Three days later, Wu Sangui would order a general attack on Yunyang Prefecture and Yunxian County, and everything the army would be razed to the ground.
...
...
"Boss, you have an idea. Shall we run or stay! ”
Li Chen's eyes were red, and he said with a little whimper.
Li Laoshi sat on the kang and spit out a smoke ring, and said hatefully: "Run? Where to run? Now that the Tartars have surrounded the whole village, they are going to search from house to house, will you run away? ”
"What then? Are you just waiting for the Tartars to rush into the house and snatch all the food? ”
Li Chen's face was sad, and even his voice was a little miserable.
"What to do? Of course, you can't sit still. The Tartars came to grab food, and if we didn't have food, they would naturally leave. ”
Li Laoshi took a deep breath and said, "Let's dig a big pit in the yard and bury all the grain in it." ”
"Ahh
Li Chen exclaimed: "Master, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it?" ”
"Don't talk about these useless things, let's dig quickly."
Li Laoshi and Li Chen have a son, but the son is still a student who was admitted to Xiucai, and now he is studying in Fuxue, so he is naturally not around on weekdays.
Fortunately, Li Laoshi is the best at digging pits, even if his son is not around.
"Hey, hey, it's dry!"
Li honestly turned over the ground and was a good hand, and Li Chen was more of a hand for him.
I saw Li Laoshi sweating like rain and being busy for a while, and finally dug a deep pit.
"Boss, enough, this pit is deep enough."
Li Chen looked at the pit and said with joy in his heart.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you move the rice jar quickly."
"Okay, I'll go!"
After Li Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left.
After a short time, she went and returned, only to see her move the rice jar to the side of the pit and said: "The master, come and help." ”
Li Laoshi didn't dislike it, and immediately leaned over to help his daughter-in-law lift the rice jar.
Together, the two of them carried the rice jar into the pit with a belt, and then covered it with soil.
Li Chen stepped on it and sprinkled a layer of floating soil on it to be satisfied.
"Alright, now it's alright. When the Tartars saw that our house was empty, they would definitely turn around and leave. ”
The stone hanging in Li Chen's heart finally landed, and now she is in a better mood.
"We don't need to rush now. Just wait quietly for the Tartars to come. As long as the Tartars have been here once, they will definitely not fight us again. ”
Li Laoshi also nodded and said.
"Hey, hey, tell them to go and ho others."
