Chapter 993 Shocking news
Wu Sangui led everyone to the outside of the tent, and after a while, he saw Hu Guozhu leading a few people over, one of them, forty miles away, eight feet long, with a majestic appearance, but his expression was very haggard.
The man walked to the front of the tent, saw a group of people standing outside the tent from a distance, immediately took a deep breath, put away his haggard expression, tilted his head and asked Hu Guozhu next to him, after getting the answer, his expression changed, and suddenly walked a few steps quickly, arrived in front of Wu Sangui, and saluted directly: "King Pingxi greeted him personally, Sun was terrified!" After speaking, Sun Kewang was about to salute on one knee, but Wu Sangui dragged him back, "General Sun is a hero in the world, and this king naturally wants to treat him with courtesy on behalf of the saint." ”
Sun Kewang was dragged by him, as if he was out of breath, his bent legs immediately straightened up, and he smiled awkwardly, "A certain defeat in Luzhou, now he is a lost dog, and he has come to take refuge in Dajin, and please Dajin regardless of his previous suspicions, please take in the king of Pingxi!" ”
Wu Sangui glanced at Sun Kewang up and down, and secretly said that Sun Kewang could bend and stretch, but he seemed to be a little unwilling in his heart.
Wu Sangui didn't know what the attitude of the Jin court towards Sun Kewang was, so he decided to make a good gesture for the time being and give Sun Kewang some face, after all, this was nothing to lose for him, and he also needed to know some about the situation in Luzhou from Sun Kewang's mouth.
"General Sun doesn't have to be restrained, we are in the tent first, and this king happens to have a few things to ask!" When the next group of people entered the account, Wu Sangui sat back in the handsome position, and asked people to add a seat to Sun Kewang and put it on the left, which was very courteous.
After sitting down, Wu Sangui spoke: "General Sun has been holding on to Luzhou for more than a month, although he lost Luzhou, but he must have also dealt a heavy blow to the Ming army. ”
Sun Kewang knows the thoughts of the present country, Haoge does not send troops in Fushun, just wants to wait for him and the Ming army to be defeated, and then come to reap the benefits.
This made Sun Kewang secretly hate in his heart, but now that he was in a position to vote, he decided to get on the ship of the Jin State, so he had to think about the Jin State, so as not to make the Jin Army misunderstand.
After hearing this, Sun Kewang shook his head, with a trace of resentment on his face, "King Pingxi misunderstood, although Sun Mou fought against the Ming army in Luzhou for more than a month, but the Ming army really had little time to attack, and this time Luzhou fell, it was entirely because of the conspiracy of the Ming army to attack the east and the west, and the betrayal of the generals, Sun did not cause great harm to the Ming army!" ”
After Sun Kewang entered the Yangtze River from the Tuojiang River, he encountered the pursuit of the Ming army's ships, and he knew very well that the Ming army could not have ships in Luzhou, so it could only be betrayed by Wang Fuchen, who he sent across the river, so that the Ming army obtained a large number of ships.
If we want to understand this, we can infer the entire plan of the Ming army through the abnormal actions of the Ming army in recent days.
The Ming army must have obtained the ship first, and after there was a possibility of a surprise attack on Nancheng from the river, they surrounded the raid on Nancheng and formulated a plan to feint on Xicheng to attract his attention.
As for why the Ming army chose to attack at night, it was to cover the ships from being discovered, and at the same time, attacking Xicheng at night also made it difficult for him to find out that it was a feint to attract his attention.
Wu Sangui listened to Sun Kewang's words, but he was immediately stunned, and the generals in the tent also began to talk in a whisper.
Didn't Sun Kewang mean that the Ming army was not exhausted by the attack on Luzhou.
In the battle of a stone, the Qing army was able to reap the benefits because he and Li Zicheng were inseparable, although they were at a disadvantage, Li Zicheng did not want to defeat him easily, the two sides were exhausted, and Dolgon defeated Li Zicheng in a battle.
Listening to Sun Kewang's words, the Western Army did not seem to have the ability of the Guanning Army at the beginning, and when they fought against the Ming Army, they were not evenly matched, but a one-sided scene.
If the Ming army still maintains considerable strength and energy, then the main force of the Jin army can defeat the Ming army from Fushun, and it is not very certain.
"General Sun! I don't know if when you retreated from Luzhou, did you know if the main force of our army went south? Wu Sangui was a little anxious and asked.
Sun Kewang shook his head, he actually had some secret hatred in his heart, if Jin Guo sent troops south at the beginning of his request for help, then it would be impossible for him to lose Luzhou, but in this way, Jin Guo took the thunder for him, so that he preserved his strength, and he would not decide to surrender to Jin as he is now.
Sun Kewang shook his head and sighed: "I broke through overnight, and I don't know the follow-up situation in Luzhou!" Wu Sangui frowned, it seemed that there was not much news that could be obtained from Sun Kewang, at that moment, he turned his head to the guards standing behind him and said: "Send spies to quickly find out the situation in the direction of Luzhou, and then send someone to contact the emperor to see if the army is going south." ”
When the guards heard this, they hurriedly received the order, and then turned around and went out of the account.
On the Yangtze River, Sun Kewang's fleet landed at Dadukou, and after the men and horses entered Wu Sangui's defense area, the Ming army fleet that pursued all the way from Luzhou also arrived in Chongqing.
Yu Youming and others went to the south bank and were introduced into Chongqing by the Ming soldiers.
In Wang Deren's festival hall, Yu Youming gave Wang Deren a salute, explained the battle situation in Luzhou, and then told the plan of the Ming army to ambush the main force of the Jin army, and finally handed over a warrant, and said solemnly: "Wang Duzhen, in addition to being ordered to hunt down Sun Kewang this time, the last general also brought you a general order of the superintendent, and now the main force of our army is setting up an ambush in the Tuojiang Valley, not surprisingly, the main force of the Jin army will be besieged by our army." The superintendent hoped that Wang Duzhen could contain Wu Sangui on the other side and prevent him from dividing his troops to save the main force of the Jin army. Wang Deren was surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this battle to be fought so well, the main force of the Jin army was actually in the calculation of the superintendent, he hurriedly took the warrant, unfolded it, and then solemnly closed it, and nodded busily: "The meaning of the superintendent, this town knows!" ”
Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang were talking in the tent, he saw that he couldn't get more news, and was about to end the meeting, when at this moment, a rumbling cannon suddenly sounded again.
Sun Kewang has already gone ashore, what kind of strength is the Ming army still bombarding, there are more fucking cannons and more gunpowder, can you just put it away?
Wu Sangui frowned slightly, and a general suddenly opened the curtain and came in, and reported: "Lord Wang, the Ming army on the south bank seems to have signs of crossing the river!" ”
"What?" Wu Sangui and many generals in the tent were shocked when they heard the words, and the Ming army was actually preparing to cross the river at this time.
Wu Sangui stood up suddenly, he had been preparing for many days, and before he started to cross the river to attack, the Ming army began to cross the river first, which made him a little incomprehensible, and he didn't know what the Ming army was going to do, "Go and see!" ”
On this day, the artillery of the Ming army on the south bank suddenly began to bombard the coastal fortifications of the Jin army, and several Ming army squads, under the cover of artillery, tried to storm the north shore by boat.
Wu Sangui led the generals to personally command the blockade, although they repelled the Ming army, but the ships brought by Sun Kewang were taken away by the Ming army.
The abnormal behavior of the Ming army made Wu Sangui a little puzzled, and he even suspected that Wang Deren was playing tricks and bluffing, but he actually wanted to escape.
However, two days later, although the news of Luzhou came, he understood Wang Deren's intentions, not that the Ming army on the south bank wanted to run, but that Wang Deren was worried that he would run.
In Wu Sangui's tent, Hu Guozhu said with a serious face, "Lord Wang, the scouts sent to Luzhou have just returned to the camp. ”
When Wu Sangui saw his expression, his heart jumped, and he got up and asked, "How?" ”
Sun Kewang's words made him a little uneasy, and Wang Deren's abnormality made him even more suspicious, maybe the battle of Luzhou would not be as simple as Jin Guo thought.
This battle of Luzhou is related to the future situation of the Jin State, if it is fought well, the Jin State will become a hegemon, and if it is not fought well, the Ming army will definitely take advantage of the situation to recover Sichuan.
Wu Sangui, as the prince of Jin, has to be nervous, which is related to the national fortune of the Jin country and his personal future.
"The scouts went deep into Luzhou for one hundred and twenty miles, and until the city of Luzhou, there was no trace of the main force, let alone a trace." Hu Guozhu said in a deep voice: "Another team of scouts went to Fushun against the Tuojiang River to investigate, and learned from the countryside that a few days ago, a large army went north along the Tuojiang River at night, stretching for several miles before and after, and the momentum was terrifying, and they went straight to the direction of Fushun. The scout ventured to continue to investigate, and when he arrived at Xishan Town, which is located at the south mouth of the bottom of the Tuojiang Valley, he saw that the military flags in the town were fluttering, and countless Ming troops were gathered, and on the Iron Mountain and the Hard Mountain in the north, the sound of artillery was rumbling, and the smoke of gunpowder was rising, and there was no doubt that a fierce battle was taking place. ”
