68 The weight of a letter
The army of Geng Kong of Hat Helmet Mountain gradually approached the battlefield outside Phoenix City, which also made the hearts of Hongtang's headquarters and the main generals of the Qing army begin to pinch up.
I don't know if I am deeply lucky or unlucky, the soldiers of the Hongtang Special Operations Battalion who went to inform Geng Zhongming of their Hongtang Special Operations Battalion, after informing Wu Jie of the order, inadvertently found the traces of the Qing Dynasty envoy, and then deliberately inquired about the other party's intention.
Therefore, Wu Jie, who had long been dissatisfied with Geng Kong and the others, had to think a little more because of this reason, worrying about whether Geng Kong would have other changes.
On Dolgon's side, although an envoy was sent to intercede, he did not get a clear reply from Geng Kong and the others, and under the ambiguous relationship, Dolgon did not dare to be careless, for fear that this was Geng Kong's delaying tactic.
did not stop, Geng Kong and the two soldiers of the hat helmet mountain of the main generals, after more than 50 miles of travel, rushed straight to the direction of the main battlefield, and launched the horn of the charge at the moment of approaching the battlefield.
The Hongtang army is more than capable of doing so, and the Chinese army is already overwhelmed by the fierce offensive of the Qing people on the battlefield, where is the spare strength to deal with this unknowable danger?
The Qing Dolgon side also had no confidence, although they were relatively better on the battlefield, but at this time, most of the main forces were attacking the crumbling formation of the Han Chinese army, at most, it was just for the Han soldiers on the periphery to establish an unstable defensive line.
With more energy, Dolgon still focused on eliminating the Chinese army that was already considered fat in his mouth, so that he could seize the time to consume the strength of a wave of Han Chinese troops, and he could also make his own side less troublesome in the future, which was the right thing on the battlefield.
However, the uneasiness of the generals on both sides hanging in mid-air was ultimately due to the fact that the opponent slashed at by the first sword in the hands of Geng Kong's soldiers either turned into a dark cloud or turned into a reassuring stone, and so on.
The choice of Geng Kong and the others was not only unexpected, but also reasonable, in fact, when they launched the clarion call to charge and charged against a flaw on the battlefield, everything had already come to an end.
In the hearts of the generals on both sides, in fact, there are more worries than confidence, perhaps in response to the old saying, the authorities are confused, precisely because they have reasons for each other not to lose, so even if they think they have five or six percent certainty in their hearts, they are still worried about the remaining less than half of the bad possibility.
A hastily formed Qing army front was simply broken up by the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, who came from Hat Helmet Mountain. Although among the many complex teams in Hongtang, the army formed by Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde can be said to be weaker in terms of overall strength, but in the current situation where Hongtang's headquarters and the main force of the Qing Dynasty have been fighting indirectly for several days, its combat power is probably second only to the cavalry armies of the two sides that are independent of the melee on the spacious ground.
"Huh!!"
Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was excited and excited by the arrival of Geng Kong and the others.
"When the war is over, Lao Tzu will definitely go to have a drink with Geng Zhongming and them, and then personally ask for credit for them!!"
To tell the truth, Wu Jie was also ashamed in his heart, since some time ago, he had been dissatisfied with the actions of Geng Kong and the two on the Hat Helmet Mountain, and he was a little suspicious of the two of them. Now it seems that this is just him Wu Jie thinking too much, at this critical moment, the other party can prove their loyalty to Hongmen with their actions is enough to dispel their unfounded suspicions.
As for the frustration and annoyance on the face of Dolgon, the prince of the Great Qing Rui, as well as the confusion and panic that gradually rose in his heart, there is no need to mention it.
It's just that what they don't know is that Geng Kong and the others will make such a choice now, but it has a lot to do with a letter of less than 1,000 words.
In fact, at the beginning, although Geng Kong and the others still had a bit of morality in their hearts, as well as scruples and temptations about Hongmen's strength and prospects, they were more inclined to give real money and silver, as well as a large prospect of being crowned a king and a general that could be realized immediately, but it was far more attractive than Hongmen's unknowable future.
But before the two of them could make a choice, suddenly one of the two of them relied on the most confidant to rebel against the Ming Dynasty with them, and then defected to Houjin, and then returned to Hongmen, etc., and even Guo Zeming, a subordinate of Kong Youde's cousin-in-law, suddenly sent a handwritten letter from Li Tianyang, the supreme head of Hongmen.
It is said that people like Guo Zeming, who have followed Geng Kong and the others through countless tests, and are confidants who know the roots and have in-laws, should not have been bought, but such a person who is the most unlikely to be bought in the eyes of Geng Kong and the others jumped out at a critical time, took the initiative to expose his identity, and handed Li Tianyang's handwritten letter to the two of them.
"Master Geng, Master Kong: Seeing words is like meeting!!"
"It has been nine years since the two division commanders were like-minded and came together with me Li Tianyang and became companions. Because the addition of your two division commanders has really helped me Hongmen, and I, Li Tianyang, am very grateful in my heart......
A letter of less than 1,000 words, the content of the article is not related to the situation of the two of them now, but more Li Tianyang expresses his affirmation and gratitude for the contributions they have made over the years.
At the same time, the article also has various prospects for the future development of Hongmen, and Li Tianyang seems to be sincere and sincere to confess to the two, hoping that everyone can work together for such a future that is not yet invisible.
But it was such hundreds of seemingly nonsensical words, but they made Geng Kong and the others pull back their hearts that were already a little uneasy, so that they could face up to the choice they made again.
I can't help but wonder what the two of them think about it, what is the meaning behind the letter that the supreme leader who is thousands of miles away and has created the powerful Hongmen today actually gave him at such a critical moment.
What worries the two of them even more is that the henchmen who should have been the most trusted and relied on the arms of the two of them have quietly become loyal believers such as the company's Hongmen. So who can guarantee that among the nearly 10,000 soldiers in Dongjiang Town, who seems to have been single-handedly created by Geng Kong and the others, how many people are still chess pieces laid by Hongmen, and how many people can really command him?
After rethinking the meaning behind this handwritten letter from Li Tianyang, Geng Kong and the others were glad that they had not taken that last step, and at the same time began to make their final decision.
