Chapter 281: Defection
From the subtle changes in the Huang Taiji military camp, Shang Kexi estimated that Huang Taiji was very likely to have seen through the plan of the two. There was no hesitation in the update, and he reached a consensus with Kong Youde on the spot that he would defect this time no matter what.
Kong Youde was overjoyed, he knew that he lacked a plan, and if he really wanted to escape from Huang Taiji's control safely, he still needed Shang Kexi's assistance. Without him, Kong Youde alone has almost no hope of succeeding.
After thinking about it for a while, Shang Kexi discussed with Kong Youde: "Now Huang Taiji must have doubts about us. You've only been back for a long time before the barracks on his side has moved. If I'm not mistaken, it's coming at us. ”
Kong Youde's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he said urgently: "Then are we still acting according to the plan?" ”
Shang Kexi shook his head: "No, all his henchmen and subordinates don't know where to go, if we still do things according to the rules, we will definitely fall into the ambush of Huang Taiji." ”
Although Huang Taiji's military talent is ordinary, this person is quite good at strategy. This is Shang Kexi's impression of Huang Taiji during these times of contact with him.
Kong Youde hesitated for a moment, and he said suspiciously: "Then what should we do?" ”
For Shang Kexi's strategy, Kong Youde still trusts him very much. Although he has always been hesitant to do things, he does have his superiority in strategy, which Kong Youde is convinced of.
The big tent calmed down, Shang Kexi fell into deep thought, and didn't say a word for a long time.
This time, Kong Youde was not in a hurry, he waited patiently, and did not urge Shang Kexi.
After a long time, Shang Kexi suddenly said fiercely: "Simply, let's play with Huang Taiji this time." ”
Kong Youde's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked: "How to play?" ”
Kong Youde chuckled softly, and then bowed his head and muttered in Kong Youde's ear. After half a ring, the hearty laughter of the two came out of the big tent.
Inside the Imperial City of the Imperial Palace.
Chongzhen was gloomy and silent, Wu Chengen was waiting below, and in front of the two was a herald, who had just come from Jiayuguan with the latest news.
After the herald finished speaking, he didn't see any reaction from Chongzhen. It was Wu Chengen who gave him a look and asked him to step back.
At this time, Chongzhen, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "What do you say this Emperor Taiji wants?" ”
Wu Chengen saw Chongzhen's brows furrowed, and he immediately relieved: "The emperor doesn't need to worry too much, Jiayu Pass is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now Governor Lu Xiangsheng personally led the troops to defend the town, and our military rations are completely satisfied, so in this case, there will definitely be no possibility of breaking the pass. ”
After Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "The truth is this truth, but for some reason, I just can't settle down in my heart." These Tartars have always been ferocious, and we have fought countless battles with them, big and small, but never a single real victory, so how can I not worry. ”
Wu Chengen smiled bitterly in his heart, what Chongzhen said was completely true, Da Ming has indeed never really defeated these Tartars who come and go like the wind. Especially fighting on the plains, the Ming army was not its opponent.
Although Wu Chengen knew that the Tartars were powerful, he still comforted Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, although the Tartars are powerful, we have indeed never really won a battle. But defensively, we've never really lost. The Tartars are only powerful in their cavalry, and when it comes to siege, we have the upper hand. ”
This is true, Chongzhen also agreed with Wu Chengen's statement, and he was also a lot relieved.
After a short pause, Chongzhen seemed reluctant to mention these troubles again, and he asked Wu Chengen again: "Henan, Shaanxi, what new progress has been made recently?" ”
Wu Chengen immediately said truthfully: "On the Shaanxi side, Li Zicheng has mobilized a large army to enter, and now occupies Xi'an and Hanzhong, and then encircles Xianyang City occupied by Mao Wenlong. ”
"Oh, how did Mao Wenlong react, did they fight?"
"Back to the emperor, no! Both of their armies have always been very restrained, and neither of them has taken the lead. ”
Chongzhen was immediately dissatisfied, he pondered for a moment, and then said viciously: "How can you let them go on like this, pass on my order, let all the Jinyi guards go out, secretly provoke the two armies, and make sure they fight as soon as possible." ”
"The minions obey." Wu Chengen immediately received the order to go down to make arrangements.
Chongzhen's face was fierce, and he secretly said in his heart: "Mao Wenlong, don't think about having a peaceful life, although I can't get out to deal with you now, it will also make you anxious all day long." ”
"Ah...... Sneeze! ”
Mao Wenlong just walked to the door of the study, and sneezed for no reason, he rubbed his nose, and secretly thought to himself: "Damn, who is cursing me." ”
Adou, who followed closely behind him, glanced at Mao Wenlong cautiously, and saw that he was not cold, so he was relieved.
Entering the study, Mao Wenlong asked Haoda: "How is it?" Kong Youde should return to Guanwai, but what news is coming? ”
Haoda shook his head and said, "Chief soldier, there has been no news of Kong Youde so far. However, there was news from the Ming army that the Tartars outside Jiayu Pass seemed to be moving. ”
Mao Wenlong frowned, and said to himself: "It seems that Kong Youde and they are obviously not having a good time, and they should be looked down on by Huang Taiji very closely." ”
Haoda said with a puzzled face: "Chief soldier, since you care so much about the two generals Kong Youde, why didn't you send troops to meet them outside the gate first?" ”
Haoda, as a person next to Mao Wenlong, knows most of his thoughts. Mao Wenlong had been thinking about Kong Youde and Shang Kexi before, but now that he has learned the news of the two, he has the heart to come to join again.
But I don't know why Mao Wenlong wants to embarrass the two of them like this, this doesn't seem to be the style that should be used to recruit talents!
Mao Wenlong looked at the vastness of his face full of incomprehension, and explained with a chuckle: "What do you know? Kong Youde and Shang Kexi had made mistakes before, and later defected to Huang Taiji, our mortal enemy. If you want to come back now, the necessary expressions must be indispensable, otherwise how to convince the soldiers in the army. ”
Haoda suddenly suddenly, but he also said worriedly: "But even if there should be something to say, then the general soldiers won't give them any help, right?" ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head: "If you don't give it, you can't give it at all." As for whether they can successfully escape, it depends on the ability and luck of the two of them. ”
Seeing Mao Wenlong's resolute expression, Haoda didn't dare to ask any more. Then he consciously left quietly, leaving Mao Wenlong alone in the study, thinking about his affairs with peace of mind.
"Report, there is a war in Shaanxi!" A guard suddenly broke into the study and shouted to Mao Wenlong.
