Wang Jian immediately ordered Gao Di, the former general of Shanhaiguan, to preside over the defense of Luanzhou City, and when the assigned task was over, the generals found that Wu Sangui was left aside.

Wang Jian saw that Wu Sangui seemed a little lost, so he comforted: "Wu Aiqing, don't participate in the battle of Zu Dashou, no matter what, he is also your uncle." I know that you are loyal and courageous, but I don't want him to die at your hands, do you know my intentions? ”

Wu Sangui immediately thanked the emperor when he heard this: "Thank you for your love, although you will die, you can't repay it!" ”

In fact, Wang Jian was not so kind, he wanted his concubine to exercise more, make more military exploits to establish his prestige, and also took advantage of the situation to empty Wu Sangui's military power, killing two birds with one stone. It's just that he also underestimated Wu Sangui, although he looked grateful on the surface, there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Wang Jian ordered Ma Mi to lead three thousand iron horsemen out of the city, and before leaving, he looked at Ma Mi Mi who was heroic and slightly excited on the war horse, and was very reluctant: he knew that Ma Mi was eager to lead the troops, and she would feel happy there. If you imprison her by your side, she will only be a canary in a cage, and if she loses the wings to fly, she will eventually lose her luster.

Ma Mimei also looked at Wang Jian tenderly, in her heart, she felt that Wang Jian was almost forced to commit suicide on the coal mountain because there was no general who shared his worries and turned the tide. She loves him and is afraid of repeating it again on the coal mountain, so she must fight, because only victory can have enough power to protect her love.

Wang Jian said softly and lovingly: "Protect yourself, if you can't do it, you will come back, as your man, I should protect you." ”

Ma Mi also nodded emotionally, and Yang spurred the horse out of the city.

Finally, just after the afternoon, the first big battle after Wang Jian's crossing came!

Zu Dashou's vanguard arrived at the city of Luanzhou, but saw that the city gate was closed, and there were rows of guards standing on the city wall, which was very strange. It stands to reason that the Jingshi has been broken, this should be an empty city, how is it completely different from what I imagined! And the Manchu generals around him were all frizzily urging Zu Dashou to attack the city quickly, but he barely stopped it. Looking at Gao Di in the city, he stubbornly said: "It turned out to be Brother Gao, the Ming Dynasty died, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, if you also lead your subordinates to surrender to my Qing Dynasty, you will definitely be able to be crowned an official and enter the knighthood, and you and my brothers will have a good response, wouldn't it be happy!" ”

Gao Di turned around and glanced at Wang Jian behind him, and didn't seem to have the intention of standing up and speaking, so he pointed at Zu Dashou and scolded: "Who is a brother with you, Lao Tzu's surname is Gao, how can you compare with you, a three-surnamed slave who doesn't know what his surname is!" ”

"You..." Zu Dashou was ashamed and angry for a while, but he was even more unhappy about his situation, he didn't want to work for the Qing Dynasty in his heart, and he also had the heart of escapism, but the actual situation forced him to work hard for the Qing Dynasty. And the troops he can command are only more than 1,000 remnants of Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the remaining 2,000 are just the prison troops sent by the Qing court around him, and there are several Manchu generals around him urging, and if he doesn't attack the city, it may cause their dissatisfaction even more, so he has to order the siege.

So the Qing soldiers ignored the command of Zu Dashou and attacked the city first, in their opinion, the defenders of the city were just a group of people who died in the country, and such a big credit for picking up in vain could not let the Han soldiers these minions rob it.

For them, these Ming soldiers are lambs to be slaughtered, and they are all vulnerable, and Gao Di, as the chief soldier of the first level in the world, has ten times the strength of the opponent, and the defense is not leaky.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and after dropping more than 500 corpses, the Eight Banners realized that something was wrong, so they slowly retreated, waiting for the arrival of Hauge's army to attack the city in one fell swoop.

Just when the Eight Banners had just retreated to the camp and were noisy, a cavalry suddenly appeared behind them, led by a young girl, I saw that she was dressed in white armor, her body was full of red true qi, holding a red tasseled spear, and she took the lead in the battle, rushing left and right, and no one was her enemy with a shot!

Zu Dashou saw that the troops were in chaos, and urgently ordered the rear team to turn around and become the front team to resist this cavalry.

Wang Jian personally saw that Concubine had entered the enemy formation, and immediately stood on the city wall, and the luck dragon roared with the strength of milk: "Listen to the Guan Ning army under the city, I am here!! If you help me kill Jianyu and avenge Ning Yuan's comrades, not only will I not be guilty of the past, but I will also be rewarded afterwards! ”

Wang Jian's voice roared out with all the dragon qi spread to every corner of the battlefield, and for a while, both sides on the battlefield looked at Wang Jian on the city wall, only to see that he was wearing a dragon robe, and he was even more majestic against the backdrop of the Huang Luo umbrella behind him!

Zu Dashou and the remnants of Guan Ning around him were also shocked and inexplicable, most of them were summoned by Chongzhen, and naturally recognized that the people on the city wall were the real emperor, and they were all too frightened to move, and the remnants of Guan Ning saw that the generals had no reaction, and they were even more at a loss, and they were soon rushed to pieces. What was even more shocking was the more than 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers who had just returned to the headquarters.

"Grass, I have known for a long time that these minions are unreliable." A Qing general shouted.

"yes, we must have been betrayed!! Otherwise, how could this ruined town be so difficult to attack! Another Qing general suffered heavy losses in the siege battle just now, and he quickly echoed.

I don't know who shouted: "Brothers, kill all these treacherous dog minions!" ”

So the two thousand Eight Banner soldiers who lost their minds turned their horses and killed the remnants of Guan Ning behind them. And the remnants of Guan Ning were not willing to wait for death and rose up to resist.

Zu Dashou saw that the situation was out of control, so he stopped arguing and waited quietly for death.

In order to reduce casualties, Ma Yumei urgently ordered the entire Iron Cavalry Battalion to withdraw from the battle and wait in the rear of Zu Dashou's army.

Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he had envisioned, Wang Jian also opened the city gate and led 30,000 defenders to rush out.

The battle soon ended, and the remaining 1,500 Eight Banners soldiers were completely annihilated under the combined attack of Zu Dashou's remnants of Guanning and Wang Jian's 30,000 defenders. Zu Dashou and his 800 remnants of Guan Ning were captured. However, the Guanning army won a great victory, and completely annihilated 3,000 Haoge vanguard troops at the cost of more than 100 casualties!

Inside the Luanzhou City Prison.

Zu Dashou has been imprisoned here since he was captured, and his nephew Wu Sangui has also come to persuade him to surrender several times but has not been moved. "A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find" Wang Jian naturally understood, so he came to the prison in person, Zu Dashou sat facing the wall, and did not get up to salute, turned his head to look at Wang Jian and said nothing.

"This is also a hard-blooded man." Wang Jian secretly instructed that he did not blame Zu Dashou for being unreasonable, but said kindly: "Cough, Zu Aiqing is fine." ”

"Hmph, if you want to kill, you will kill, why bother talking." Zu Dashou sneered.

Wang Jian was also very helpless, and Zu Dashou had already been mentally prepared for his attitude.

According to Chongzhen's memory, he also knew that Chongzhen had done a lot of things that were sorry for Guan Ning Tieqi. One of them was that Ling Chi executed Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Guanning. It was when the Qing army first entered the pass to besiege the Beijing division, Yuan Chonghuan traveled thousands of miles from outside the pass to Qin Wang, and after repelling the Qing army, he was attacked and accused of treason. Chongzhen was afraid that he would have a rebellious heart, so he ordered someone to throw a basket from the city wall and fish him into the city, and then he was stabbed by Ling Chi for 3,600 knives! And Zu Dashou was also completely disappointed in the imperial court after that incident and no longer accepted the order. The far-reaching impact of this incident is not enough, in the future, after more generals received the edict of King Qin, they were also afraid of Yuan Chonghuan's fate, and they would rather resist the decree than dare to King Qin, it is really a realistic version of the story of "the wolf is coming".

Wang Jian sighed and muttered: "A lifetime of career is empty, and half a lifetime of fame is in a dream." After death, there is no brave general, and the loyal soul still guards Liaodong! In Wang Jian's view, as a Cantonese who traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, no matter what the merits and demerits of later generations were, this loyalty is worthy of affirmation. As a superior, use ability to do small things, and use ability to do big things, even if you use the wrong person, the superior must also bear the corresponding responsibility.

Zu Dashou was shocked when he heard the tiger's body, and finally turned around and looked at Wang Jian angrily, like a fierce tiger who loves people!

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have killed the governor. He is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. O loyal ministers! Zu Dashou roared. The iron-blooded tough guy who had eaten human flesh when Ningyuan City was running out of ammunition and food, and had never cried in countless battles of life and death, heard Wang Jian reciting Yuan Chonghuan's execution poem at this moment, but left tears.

"It's me who has a negative Inspector Yuan." Wang Jian said slowly, "I promise you that after I cross to the south, I will definitely order someone to go to Inspector Yuan's hometown to build a martyr's shrine for him and rehabilitate Zhaoxue for him." ”

"Since the emperor has this heart, he will die without regrets, and he is willing to follow Yuan Dutang underground!" Zu Dashou finally got up and knelt down to say goodbye.

"General Zu, you... Don't you understand my mind? I am not guilty of your repeated things in the past, and I hope you will inherit the will of Inspector Yuan and help me to level Liaodong! Wang Jian said the intention of this time.

"Dangping Liaodong... Swing Liaodong..."Zu Dashou muttered, it was his lifelong wish, but now it is so unattainable, as if it is the longest dream he has ever had in his life. "But, it's late, it's too late..."
