"What!?" Wu Sangui was furious, and slammed the reins with his hand, and the mount man stood up, almost lifting him off his horse.

Left and right hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the horse's head, and a few people worked hard to control the horse, Wu Sangui was gray-faced, and the eight-petal helmet on his head was crooked to the side, and he jumped off the horse regardless of it, jumping eagerly, his right foot hung on the stirrup, and he stumbled once, as if he pounced in front of those few defeated soldiers.

Those defeated soldiers had just fled back from the battlefield with the Kuizhou army, lost two main generals, and were panicking, at this time, seeing the marshal Wu Sangui rushing over like a cannibal, his face suddenly turned a little pale, and he didn't dare to move when he lay on the ground.

"Say it again! How did you lose? Wu Sangui grabbed a person's collar with his hand, he had a lot of strength, and he lifted the defeated pawn who looked like a calf up, roared angrily, and splashed the defeated pawn in the face.

The defeated soldier's face was like earth, his whole body was weak, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle, and replied with a crying voice: "Lord Wang, the Ming army has a powerful firearm, I have never seen it, as soon as the firearm is launched, the cannonballs that come out can blow up everything within a radius of dozens of zhang into flying ashes, no matter how thick the armor is, Wang Junmen and Li Junmen are fighting to the death, and they are defeated without even touching the big array of the Ming army!" ”

Wu Sangui's face was pale, his eyes widened and he looked at the defeated pawn viciously, his eyes rolled a few times, he threw it away, grabbed another person, and asked again in a murderous tone: "You say, how did you lose?" ”

This person had already been frightened by Wu Sangui's angry appearance, and when he was found out at this moment, he was even more frightened, and he reluctantly stammered: "Hui, back to the prince, the master's words, really, really Ming firearms, firearms are sharp, that, that cannon is beaten, the sky is dark, darkened a little ......"

Wu Sangui listened patiently to a few words, and without waiting for this person to finish speaking, he let go and stood up, and ordered left and right with a straight face: "Take them all down, lock them up, don't let them mess up the morale of the army." ”

The guards agreed, rushed up, set up these people, and dragged them down, and those defeated soldiers hung their heads and were at the mercy of them.

Wu Sangui turned around and looked at Meng Qiaofang and Ha Ha Mu with gloomy faces, these two had solemn expressions and anxious faces, just like when they were talking about the disaster money just now.

"Lord Meng, the firearms of the Ming Army in Hanzhong are so powerful, why didn't you have a warning before?" Wu Sangui asked with a gloomy face, his eyes were as resentful as a poisonous snake, word by word.

Meng Qiaofang's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, he had been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he had deep experience, and his heart was bright: Wu Sangui is looking for an excuse to lose the battle! It must be known that the Qing court's military law is strict, but if the army is defeated and the army is lost, the leader will definitely be held accountable, and it is possible to reduce his post and remove the official, and the fiasco of 8,000 people is enough to be beheaded.

He immediately took a step in the direction of Ha Ha Mu, and said urgently: "Lord Wang's words are not to deal with, you just arrived in Shaanxi, and you have not yet entered the city, in the Shili Pavilion, I said that the Ming army is fierce, you should be careful, Lord Ha Ha Mu is also present, all the generals and officials in the audience have heard it, you can't blame me for this." ”

As she spoke, Meng Qiaofang winked at Ha Ha Mu.

In order to befriend this Jurchen nobleman, gold, silver, gems, and treasures, it is an endless stream of gifts to the Qing military camp tent, banquets every day, **** sheng songs, and the restaurants in the city have gone all over and over again, and the two of them have also formed a friendship full of copper smell.

At this time, seeing that Wu Sangui was about to play tricks to push the responsibility, and wanted to get Meng Qiaofang to be used as a meat pad for the butt when the court played the board, Hahamu stood up without hesitation, but considering that the war in Shaanxi had to be settled by the Liaodong Army, he still got into trouble.

"The two of you don't have to argue about this, the Ming army is powerful, the imperial court has already heard of it, presumably all the defeats will not be held accountable, not to mention that our military strength is still strong, the success or failure of a war can not affect the overall situation, the situation in Shaanxi has not reached the point of being out of control, we should be sincerely united, think about what to do next, it is the best policy." Hahamu said a rare soft word, and his tone was extremely incommensurate with his appearance of sincerity: "If you can boost morale and wipe out the Ming army in one fell swoop, this bad thing can become a good thing. ”

Hahamu wears a chain mail, wrapped in a layer of purple brocade robes, made of fine Shu brocade, with his stout figure, it doesn't look like a general, but like an outsider.

Wu Sangui shook his head, and said in a low voice with a calm face: "Destroy the Ming army?" Two adults, a total of 25,000 Liaodong soldiers who entered the customs with me, lost some in Henan, and some were used up in Kaifeng, and only 21,000 people entered Shaanxi, and 8,000 were lost in this battle. ”

He glared at Meng Qiaofang angrily, and said: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for Lord Meng's false report on the military situation, and more than ten times a day to rush me back to the division, I would not have left Qinling, my army will not move, forgive that Wang Huan can't fly even if he has wings, what is today's matter?" ”

Meng Qiaofang was speechless, he couldn't spit out a word for a long time, his face turned even paler, Wu Sangui was right, it was he who exaggerated the scale of Wang Yongqiang's rebels, and it was he who rushed to urge Wu Sangui to come back, and even the person who instigated Ha Ha Mu to use the upward transfer token, or he, if you want to say the culprit, Meng Qiaofang deserves it.

Hahamu was also choked for a while, Wu Sangui took into account his identity and didn't single him out and scold, but everyone could hear that Wu Sangui was scolding Meng Qiaofang, and he scolded him with a twist on his tongue.

"Lord Wu, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say this, let's find a way to deal with the current crisis." Haha Mu snorted for a long time, and finally thought of a way to change the topic.

Wu Sangui's gloomy face is thicker than the clouds in the sky, he is tired of the two people in front of him, one is greedy for money and good money, the other is mediocre and unscrupulous, where is the person who does great things, thinking that Meng Qiaofang was also a brave and resourceful figure when he was in Liaodong, how did he go to Shaanxi to be a feudal official for a few days, and he became a mediocre man, if it weren't for the Ming army, Wang Huan was restless, such a character could actually run Shaanxi well, and it is conceivable what the Ming court as the opponent of the Qing court became corrupt.

"Two adults, the only way to do this now is to rely on the strong to break the enemy!" Wu Sangui groaned, stroked his beard with one hand, and thought about it.

Meng Qiaofang and Ha Ha Mu were in high spirits, Wu Sangui had experienced a hundred battles and had many clever plans, and the two hurriedly asked: "What is relying on strength to break the enemy?" ”

"Relying on the strong to break the enemy, which means to defend the strong city, lure the enemy to attack, ambush the strong army on one side, the enemy army is in the plan, the city is strong and can not be overcome, the morale must be weak, take advantage of the dark night, the ambush is exhausted, echoing inside and outside, and breaking the enemy under the city in one fell swoop!" Wu Sangui shook his beard and said: "Guo Deng guarded Datong during the Yingzong period, and Liu Kun guarded Jinyang during the Western Jin Dynasty, all of which were examples of the trapped Jiancheng and finally defeated the strong enemy. ”

Meng Qiaofang and Ha Ha Mu pondered for a moment, then looked at each other and said in unison: "Lord Wang's clever plan, of course it is feasible!" ”

"However, we have been fighting with the Ming army for many years, and the Ming army knows the temperament very well, so Wang Huan of Hanzhong is really different, is he worthy of the word strong enemy?" Ha Ha Mu then said again, with a half-believing expression on his face: "Is it that Li Benshen carelessly advanced and fell into the trap of the Ming army?" ”

Wu Sangui raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly looked at Ha Ha Mu, the killing intent in his eyes suddenly appeared, and the bloodshot whites of his eyes set off the lead bullet-like eyes, as if he was about to shoot out of his eyes at any time.

Haha Murao is a person who has rolled in the sea of blood, and he was also startled at this moment, and couldn't help but shudder, took a step back, and pressed his right hand on the handle of the knife on his waist with a "sudden".

Wu Sangui didn't move, just looked at Hahamu fixedly, arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Lord Ha, Li Benshen is my deputy general, he has followed Wu for more than ten years, he is like a brother, he knows the roots, he is by no means the kind of person who is greedy for merit, the eight thousand soldiers who followed him are all Liaodong backgrounds, and their combat power is absolutely not to say, even more elite than the more than 10,000 people who stayed with me, Wang Huan ate him in one day, of course he deserves the word strong army!" ”

When Wu Sangui said these words, he gritted his teeth, almost chewing the words and spitting them out one by one, and when he heard this, Ha Ha Mu and Meng Qiaofang took a step back.

"That being the case, in the future, we should ask for merit and compensation for Li Benshen and others, but now, according to the prince's plan, who should be sent to set up an ambush and who should defend the city?" Meng Qiaofang saw that Wu Sangui was angry, most likely because Hahamu was disrespectful to Li Benshen, who died in battle, and hurriedly played a round game.

"Liaodong military horses are good at field warfare, and defending the city is not as good as Meng's Shaanxi soldiers, this ambush will be done by me, and Lord Meng and Lord Harbin can enter the city and defend it." Wu Sangui said.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately shook their heads, this is not good, what if Wu Sangui sees that the signs are not right, turns around and runs away? Aren't there no way to stay in the city for the brothers?

Wu Sangui seemed to see through the thoughts of the two, and then said: "Don't worry, two adults, I still have 13,000 soldiers on hand, and 5,000 troops will enter the city, plus more than 10,000 people from Lord Meng and 2,000 banner soldiers from Lord Ha, there are nearly 20,000 people guarding the city, no matter what, there will be no loss, the two adults can sit back and relax." ”

Hearing this, Meng Qiaofang and Ha Ha Mu breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Sangui sent 5,000 people into the city to assist in defense, and he would definitely not care about the life and death of these 5,000 people, this is his foundation, the veterans brought out from Shanhaiguan are equal to 5,000 hostages, and with these 5,000 people, the pressure to defend the city is much less, and no matter how powerful the Ming army's firearms are, it will not be able to break the city.

So the three of them agreed, discussed some specific matters, sent people to shoot a few shots at Wang Yongqiang, and hurriedly collected the troops and returned to the city, leaving the wooden city on the two hills and leaving.

Meng Qiaofang and Ha Ha Mu didn't see it, after they left, Wu Sangui looked at their backs, and the resentful eyes were so profound.
