Chapter 583: Peace Before the Storm

Not afraid of god-like enemies, but afraid of pig-like teammates, Wu Sangui felt that the Wanyan Gusu in front of him was undoubtedly a complete pig teammate. If he doesn't act in time, it is estimated that he will not survive this winter himself.

After some consideration, Wu Sangui discussed with the two guards who came with him, and sent one person to secretly run back to inform Huang Taiji of the current situation. asked Huang Taiji to replace the perfect face Gusu at this moment.

Everything Wu Sangui did in secret did not escape Yan Gusu's eyes, but he did not interfere, but let his guards leave. As he said before, Wanyan Gusu was not afraid of Wu Sangui going to Huang Taiji to denounce him.

On the contrary, he also wished that Wu Sangui would send someone to denounce him, and Wan Yan Gusu was convinced. Huang Taiji would be overjoyed when he learned that he would quietly kill a hundred Dongjiang troops as soon as he arrived in Liaodong.

Wanyan Gusu had such a thought, so he had no fear, and turned a blind eye to let Wu Sangui toss.

Due to Wu Sangui's obstruction, Wanyan Gusu did not dare to make any more troubles before he received a new order from Huang Taiji. In addition, it is now freezing and snowy outside, and the Dongjiang Army has stationed a large army outside, so naturally it does not dare to attack again.

In the same way, Chen Jisheng did not dare to act rashly before he received Mao Wenlong's new instructions. As a result, the two sides calmed down for a while, one hid in a cave deep in the mountains, and the other was always vigilant and defensive.

It snowed heavily in Liaodong, but it did not fall in Xi'an, Jingshi, Henan and other places, except for the small snow in winter, there was no sign of heavy snowfall. This is an extremely unfavorable thing, since ancient times, there has been a proverb handed down in Ruixue Zhaofeng year, the experience of the ancestors, must not be believed.

The absence of heavy snow is a sign that the dry season may indeed continue in the coming year, and locusts have a greater chance of becoming a disaster. These things have temporarily troubled Mao Wenlong, and he has been quite distressed recently.

In the study, the charcoal stove with a chimney burned very strongly, and Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou rarely had Yaxing, and the two began to play chess. As the saying goes, chess can see character, and Mao Wenlong at this moment has a very bad character in the eyes of Hong Chengchou.

"Wait, I haven't figured out this move yet, I have to start again." Mao Wenlong's rogue voice sounded from the study again.

The huge man standing on the side almost couldn't stand it, and a situation like this had been going on for a whole morning. What is rare is Hong Chengchou, this guy is still not impatient in the face of chess like Mao Wenlong, and he is still not impatient, let Mao Wenlong regret it again and again, but he resolutely does not move.

Mao Wenlong took back a horse that had been eaten, and was hesitating about which step to take, but there was a knock at the door.

Haoda took the initiative to walk over, and when he opened the door, he saw the butler leading a dying soldier standing outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Haoda frowned, he had already recognized that the soldier should be a messenger from Liaodong.

"The subordinates are going to leave to meet the general soldiers, something big happened in Liaodong." The messenger's voice was hoarse and inaudible.

"Come with me." Haoda still heard it clearly, and did not dare to slack off, so he immediately stepped forward and carried the messenger into the house.

When the butler had entered the study, he closed the door for them before leaving on his own.

"General soldier, something big has happened in Liaodong." Haoda helped the messenger, who was still panting, to Mao Wenlong's side.

Mao Wenlong turned around and saw that the messenger broke away from the huge support and knelt directly in front of Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, there was another big incident in Tashanwei, half a month ago, a hundred soldiers were attacked when they were on daily patrols. None of the 100 escaped, and all of them died on the spot. ”

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou were shocked when they heard this, and they didn't care about the chess that had not yet been played, Mao Wenlong immediately asked: "Have you found any traces of the enemy, who did it?" ”

The messenger didn't say anything more, and hurriedly took out the letter he had hidden close to him from his arms and handed it to Mao Wenlong: "This is a letter from General Chen to the general soldiers. ”

Mao Wenlong stretched out his hand and took it, and after checking that the envelope was intact, he opened the letter and looked at it.

After a while, Mao Wenlong read the letter, and then said to Hao: "Arrange for him to go down to recuperate, and call Adou by the way." ”

Hao Da replied: "Yes, Chief Soldier." ”

After the messenger and Haoda left, Hong Chengchou asked in a condensed voice, "What happened in Liaodong?" ”

Mao Wenlong handed the letter to Hong Chengchou, and then said: "According to Jisheng's description, the enemy army that attacked Tashanwei this time is likely to be the Liaodong Army or Jin Bing. Moreover, the dead brothers were the last to be killed by arrows, and it is clear that there were quite a few archers in this attacking enemy army. ”

After a while, Hong Chengchou had already finished reading the letter, and he Chen Siyan said: "The lower officials feel that this is the work of the Jin soldiers, which is greater than the Liaodong army. ”

Mao Wenlong raised his eyebrows: "Where did the military advisor start with this?" ”

Hong Chengchou raised the letter paper in his hand and said quite confidently: "Chen Jisheng mentioned in his heart that the Dongjiang Army fought with the enemy first, and finally died with an arrow to seal the throat. It can be seen that there are many archers among the enemy troops who raided, and they are all good hands, otherwise it should not be possible to shoot a hundred people in a row. According to the knowledge of the lower officials, the subordinates of Wu Sangui in Liaodong do not seem to have such ability. ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, riding and archery have always been the strength of Jin soldiers, and it is reasonable that so many archers appear." But now that the snow is flying all over Liaodong, how did Jin Bing quietly reappear in Tashan again? ”

It is extremely difficult to brave heavy winds and snows to travel in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is accompanied by a great crisis, and it is not impossible for a person to accidentally wipe out the whole army. It stands to reason that in such a situation, no matter how unwilling Huang Taiji is, he should not dare to send troops to Liaodong?

Hong Chengchou sneered: "It seems that Huang Taiji should be really anxious at this moment, the general army has all his war horses, and without the assistance of war horses, Jin Guo doesn't even have the ability to protect himself." Once any country entrenched in the vicinity of the Jin Kingdom learns the news, it will inevitably pose a great threat to the Jin Kingdom. And among them, the biggest threat is with the general army, so now that I think about it, it is inevitable that Huang Taiji will send troops to harass Liaodong at all costs. ”

"In other words, Huang Taiji is now jumping off the wall in a hurry?" Mao Wenlong was stunned.

"Very likely." Hong Chengchou nodded in agreement.

"Chief soldier, General Adou is here." Haoda took Adou to Mao Wenlong's face.

"General Soldier." Adou bowed.

"Adou, sit down and discuss something with you." Mao Wenlong pointed to the chair beside him.
