The vigorous siege mission finally ended with Li Zicheng's death, and the army ran in Liangshan for nearly a month. They were already exhausted, and when they learned that they finally didn't have to crawl in the mountains anymore, everyone was immediately overjoyed.

Cheng Zuo and the others took Li Zicheng's head, and as soon as they returned to Datong Mansion, they heard Mao Wenlong's summons and asked them to go to Yongping Mansion immediately after completing the task.

The military order is like a mountain, and it can't be delayed at all, and it just so happened that Chengzuo saw Li Zicheng's death as he wished. When he parted ways with Zhuang Yexiang in Datong Mansion and left, Chengzuo and Adou rushed to Yongping Mansion with two hundred guards to join Mao Wenlong.

And Zhuang Yexiang took the rest of the army back to Kaifeng Mansion and took Li Zicheng's head back to comfort the clansmen of the Qing family. At this point, the burden that Zhuang Yexiang pressed on her body can be relieved, and there is no longer any burden.

It didn't take long to get from Datong to Yongping Mansion, and it took less than five days to arrive at Yongping Mansion with light travel and fast horses.

Chengzuo and Adou met Mao Wenlong, who had been separated for more than a month, in the government office of Yongping Mansion.

"What's the matter, Li Zicheng hasn't been escaped, right?" Mao Wenlong asked about this when they met.

With a little relief on his face, Cheng Zuo said to Mao Wenlong: "This time it was a fluke that Li Zicheng did not escape, although he did not die at our hands, but he died in the end." “

Mao Wenlong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Was he killed by some irrelevant people, such as ordinary people?" ”

Cheng Zuo was slightly surprised: "How did the chief soldier know about this?" ”

Mao Wenlong did not answer Cheng Zuo, but sighed: "It seems that how a person should die is already destined by God." Li Zicheng still hasn't escaped the shackles of fate......"

After sighing, Mao Wenlong realized that it seemed that he should not discuss these things with Chengzuo. The matter is related to his secret, which naturally cannot be explained. Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, I met a master before, when we talked about Li Zicheng, and the master told me that Li Zicheng would eventually die at the hands of an irrelevant person." In this regard, I have always been skeptical, but I didn't expect to be given a word by this master. ”

In order to fulfill the lie, Mao Wenlong can only continue to make up lies and continue to deceive.

Cheng Zuo and A Dou obviously had a little doubt in their eyes, but they didn't suspect Mao Wenlong, they were just quite interested in the master he just said.

Mao Wenlong didn't want to continue to talk about it, he still understood the truth that if he said too much, he would still lose: "Okay, this matter is over successfully, and there will be no such scourge as Li Zicheng in the future, so we don't have to pay too much attention to it." I still put my mind on this campaign in Liaodong. ”

"Yes, Commander!" The two didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said yes.

After that, Mao Wenlong asked the two to go down to rest first, and began to rush to Liaodong with the army early tomorrow morning to start encircling and suppressing Wu Sangui.

The 100,000 Dongjiang troops are coming, and this is definitely not a small movement. In particular, Wu Sangui has been paying close attention to the Dongjiang Army's every move recently, so when the Dongjiang Army came in a mighty way, Wu Sangui had already learned about it for the first time.

"It's time to come in the end......" Wu Sangui's face was full of sadness, looking up to the sky and sighing.

Wu Sangui's military Li Ao said to him at this time: "Lord Wang, although the Dongjiang Army is powerful, we still don't need to be so pessimistic. ”

Wu Sangui shook his head and said: "The Dongjiang Army is powerful, you don't know that those brave cavalry of Huang Taiji are not opponents, let alone our Liaodong Army." ”

Li Ao still said unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, this time is not that time, we were in Beijing at that time. And now that we are on the outside turf, there is no reason to be afraid of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army. ”

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, why did this king forget this." ”

In the Beijing Division, the Liaodong Army had no backup at all and was in a passive position. And now in Liaodong, the situation is completely different, and the Liaodong Army can rely on the city to defend and have a protracted battle with the Dongjiang Army.

Li Ao saw that Wu Sangui reacted, so he said again: "Lord Wang, yesterday there was already a horse to return to the court, saying that the Dongjiang Army had set off from Yongping Mansion again. With less than five days to reach Guangningwei, should we cause some trouble for Mao Wenlong, at least not let them come and attack us smoothly? ”

Wu Sangui hesitated for a moment, and then said in a condensed voice: "The military advisor wants to ambush the Dongjiang army halfway? ”

Li Ao nodded and said: "It's not about the ambush, it's just to create some trouble for Mao Wenlong, that's all!" ”

The current situation of the Liaodong Army can only be guaranteed by defending the city, and there is little chance of winning a real battle with the Dongjiang Army on the plain. Therefore, Li Ao, the dog-headed military division, naturally would not use the shortcomings of the Liaodong Army to collide with the strengths of the Dongjiang Army.

"Oh, what is the strategy of the military advisor to make Mao Wenlong upset, you might as well talk about it, this king is still quite interested." Wu Sangui's eyes lit up.

As long as Mao Wenlong doesn't go his way, he can be happy, and it is best to directly anger Mao Wenlong to death, and then Liaodong will be saved.

Li Ao knew Wu Sangui's thoughts, he didn't dare to let Wu Sangui have too many expectations, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, it's just a matter of making some small traps to block the speed of the Dongjiang Army's march." With our current strength, we simply can't fight with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army. ”

Wu Sangui's eyes obviously flashed with disappointment, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, as long as Mao Wenlong is unhappy, there is no problem whether it is big or small." This matter will be arranged by the labor army, and this king is waiting for your good news. ”

Li Ao agreed, and then resigned.

Wu Sangui watched Li Ao leave, he looked up at the sky outside, sighed softly in his heart, and then turned around and went back to the backyard.

The arrival of the Dongjiang Army made Liaodong begin to panic, from the Liaodong Army to ordinary people, all of them were like this. Wu Sangui already knew this, and Li Ao's so-called trouble for the Dongjiang Army was actually out of the preparation of damaging the morale of the Dongjiang Army and cheering up the Liaodong Army.

Therefore, Wu Sangui agreed without any consideration, as long as he could have the opportunity to boost the morale of the Liaodong Army, no matter how slim the opportunity was, he didn't want to let it go easily.

Liaodong's preparations for war had long been prepared, and everyone from Wu Sangui to the ordinary soldiers below was tense in their nerves. No one dares to be careless about the arrival of the Dongjiang Army, the shadow of the famous tree, the Dongjiang Army has long been famous, and when encountering such an enemy army, who is not worried in his heart!

Wu Sangui's composure on the surface was just for many subordinates to see. In fact, his heart is also full of uncertainty, and the last defeat outside Jinan City will never be forgotten by him for the rest of his life.
