Chapter 164: Wu Sangui Makes Suggestions
The next morning, Yuan Chonghuan took a thousand Ningyuan defenders to escort this batch of artillery, and gradually left Ningyuan City in the roar of the salute, and headed towards the border of Mingmeng. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Along the way, Hasbargen looked at the two Mongols who had no doubt about the two of them and was very curious, so he whispered: "Brother Zhou, how did you get these two Mongols?" I'm afraid silver alone won't work, right? β
Zhou Quan smiled, shook his head and said: "Of course only silver is not good, I was very curious when I saw the two of them yesterday, and asked Vice Governor Yuan who they were, and then Deputy Governor Yuan told me that they introduced that they were sent by Lin Dan Khan's eldest son Ezhe, and they also heard that this artillery was going to be sold here, so they hurried over to see if they could buy it and take it back to Lin Dan Khan, so that not only did they have merit, but their masters also had merit, and they were all happy, so I told them that I was sent by Lin Dan Khan, And I still have Lin Dan Khan's documents, they are very curious how I have Lin Dan Khan's documents, and they haven't seen me, I just said that this is Lin Dan Khan secretly sent me to send an envoy over, naturally I want to send people you don't know, you don't know so Huang Taiji naturally doesn't know either, when the time comes, you can successfully buy this batch of artillery, and you can come by surprise! When they heard this, they thought it made sense, and then I secretly stuffed them with silver, and said that I would say in front of Lin Dan Khan that they also had the credit! Blessed to share! Let them keep quiet, now Governor Yuan has promised to sell it to Lin Dan Khan, and the documents have been stamped and signed, if they have any branches here, when the transaction is ruined, we will all not be able to bear the responsibility, this Lin Dan Khan is furious, we will not be able to cut off ten heads, they thought about it and felt that what I said was right, anyway, the cannon has been bought, and they don't want to do it again! β
Hasbargen nodded as if he didn't understand, "But the two of us? β
Zhou Quan touched his forehead and said, "Why can't you figure it out?" Of course, I also told the two of them, saying that the two of you were also sent by Lin Dan Khan, and they were my assistants! β
Hasbargen looked suddenly enlightened, and secretly cocked his thumb and said, "Brother Zhou! Terrible! It's really clever! β
"Haha! Where! Where! Zhou Quan said modestly.
"As long as the Great Khan gets this batch of artillery, the reward is unimaginable!" Hasbargen laughed.
Zhou Quan had an expression that I understood, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! There won't be any shortage of yours! And the Grile Diagram! We are all friends, blessed and shared! Right! β
"Brother Zhou! I've made up your friends! In the future, if it is useful, just command me where it will be! Hasbargen laughed.
"Definitely! Certain! Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"I say! What are you two whispering here? GΕiletu asked.
Geriletu's question startled both Zhou Quan and Hasbargen at the same time.
"Nothing! We're just chatting! Loud for fear of affecting the march of the army! Zhou Quan said with a smile.
"Tell me! I want to hear about it too! Griletu said with a smile.
Zhou Quan smiled, leaned closer to Ge Ri Letu's ear and muttered a few words, and Ge Ri Letu suddenly smiled and said, "Okay!" Good! Brother Zhou, your personality is very good! I like it! β
Zhou Quan was speechless after hearing this, and on the other side, seeing that they were chatting happily, Amu Gulang suddenly came over and said, "What did you say?" Can we have a chat below? This march is so boring! β
Hasbargen waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are talking about which tribe's girl is beautiful, this time it is done, the Great Khan will definitely reward us heavily, we are now thinking about it when the time comes, we can ask the Great Khan for a reward!" β
"Oh?!" Ge Ri Le Tu suddenly came to his senses, so a small group here began to have a deep discussion on this topic, and finally Erdemutu was also attracted to it, and the five seemed to have discussed to a certain level, completely forgetting that they were on the march.
Yuan Chonghuan, who led the army, was frowning at this time, riding a horse and moving forward slowly, not knowing what he was thinking, when a young man's voice sounded beside him: "Uncle Yuan, what are you thinking?" β
Yuan Chonghuan was interrupted by this voice, and turned his head and said, "Sangui, don't you know that it's rude to interrupt others' thinking at will?" β
This young man is Wu Sangui, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't resist him on this mission, so he brought it out at his strong request, Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Seeing that Uncle Yuan has been thinking all the way but has not seen a result of thinking, why don't you say it, boy, listen to it and give you advice?" β
Yuan Chonghuan glanced at Wu Sangui and said, "Just you stinky boy?" β
"Uncle Yuan! Don't underestimate people, I'm also a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, so let's do it, since Uncle Yuan doesn't say it, that kid will dare to guess? Guess right in the end, guess wrong is nothing, march boring should be relieved, how? β
Yuan Chonghuan didn't have a clue for a while, so it was good to relax, so he said with interest: "Okay!" Just give you a chance to perform! β
"Uncle Xie Yuan!" Wu Sangui smiled and made Yuan Chonghuan stunned, and then Wu Sangui said: "If the kid guessed correctly, Uncle Yuan was thinking about whether the Tartars would come to grab it for a while, and we destroyed this batch of artillery!" If you don't destroy Pingbai to increase the combat power of the Tartars, it will also bring trouble to our defenders, which is not conducive to the battle of the Korean friendly forces, and if you destroy it, you are afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Huang Taiji, which will lead to the abandonment of previous achievements and even affect the current situation! Is the kid right or not? After speaking, Wu Sangui looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a mouth.
After listening to this, Yuan Chonghuan looked at Wu Sangui with some surprise, this kid is not simple, this is Yuan Chonghuan's first thought, looking at Yuan Chonghuan's surprised eyes, Wu Sangui was very useful, and continued: "Don't ask me how I guessed, it's actually very simple, although it seems that the imperial court and the Tartar peace talks have also opened a mutual market, and the two sides have entered a period of peace truce, but those who understand know that it is impossible for us to have real peace talks, but why this one happened I haven't figured it out, the holy will is unpredictable, It's not something that our courtiers can figure out casually, but with the war around Phi Dao, it can be seen that the war on both sides has turned into a dark war, and some clues can be seen in this mutual market, all of which are tea, silk, ceramics and other high-priced things, and none of them related to ordnance are on the list of mutual markets. and Lin Dan Khan's fierce eyes have restrained him, so there is a situation that seems to be a secret war with the war, and today's artillery transaction must have been arranged by the imperial court or His Majesty in advance, and it must be related to this dark war, or it is to pave the way for future actions, so this link can't go wrong, Uncle Yuan still listens to the kid's words, don't think about this! β
After listening to Wu Sangui's words, Yuan Chonghuan was even more surprised, but soon returned to normal, and said seriously: "You didn't say these words nonsense to others, right?" β
"Uncle Yuan, rest assured! The kid knows how to measure! Wu Sangui whispered.
"That's good! Don't chew on the root of your tongue, or woe will come out of your mouth! Yuan Chonghuan said seriously.
"Remember Uncle Yuan's teachings!" Wu Sangui hugged his fists.
"Having said that, you surprised me very much, I didn't expect you to see it so thoroughly and clearly, but there are things that you can understand in your own hearts, we just need to act according to His Majesty's will, what you just said is right, I am a little entangled in this batch of artillery, how to say that it is also an old comrade-in-arms, it is really reluctant to give them to the Tartars, I was thinking if there was a way to have the best of both worlds, but I couldn't think of it for a while!" Yuan Chonghuan smiled bitterly.
"Uncle Yuan, the artillery must be given, and it must be given beautifully, so that the task can be completed excellently! Yuan Ge will be satisfied, the court will be satisfied, and in the end, His Majesty will be happy! Then Uncle Yuan's reward won't be able to run away! Wu Sangui said with a smile.
"Then tell me, how can this be sent beautifully?" Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile.
"Uncle Yuan! If the boy guessed correctly, the Tartars must be waiting for us fifty miles away from the plain at the mountain pass, and as soon as we appear, they will charge us directly, and one thing, they will also disguise themselves as Mongols, and the war around Phi Dao is a reason! Wu Sangui said with a smile.
Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan did not object, but nodded, Wu Sangui was greatly encouraged, and continued, "In this case, let's make use of the explosives and grenades brought by these cannons, and after a while, the brothers who carry the cannons will let them slow down and gradually fall last, so as not to deliberately let them do this so as not to attract the attention of those two Tartars, Uncle Yuan can also call them to the front, pretend to be close to them, talk about some things in Mongolia, and distract them, When the Tartars outside charged us, the troops in front of them formed a formation, and fought and retreated, and they could not retreat in a panic, and when they retreated, they left some distance when passing through the artillery, and that distance was to bury the gunpowder, pay attention to their own people not to step on it, do not bury too much, and this range should be controlled, do not injure the artillery, the target of the Tartars is artillery, and they will definitely be ambushed, and we don't have to fight, just retreat! β
"Won't you doubt the fine work of the brother who buried the gunpowder in the back?" Yuan Chonghuan asked rhetorically.
"Uncle Yuan is too worried, we know how our Ningyuan army is a Tartar, if we retreat in a panic, it will arouse the suspicion of the enemy! Even if he doesn't doubt that he has reached Huang Taiji, he will doubt it with his character! Wu Sangui said.
Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while and said: "There is no need to bury the gunpowder near the artillery, it is too dangerous, and if the gunpowder is buried, it is easy to arouse suspicion that the artillery is fine, and the gunpowder is tied to the bow and arrow after retreating into the mountain pass for shooting, the grenade can be thrown, and some small damage can be caused on the artillery, so it can be seen that we have to give up, and there should be someone who can repair the tartar!" Yuan Chonghuan groaned.
"What Uncle said is that the kid is not well thought out!" Wu Sangui said.
Looking at Wu Sangui's slippery eyes, Yuan Chonghuan smiled, "You, you!" Good! That's it! β
