"What do you say? General Zu was captured? Yuan Chonghuan said in surprise. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Back to Vice Governor Yuan! Exactly! We were ambushed by the Tartars on Rufeng Mountain, and all but a few of us escaped, the others were either killed or captured! The soldier who fled said.
"What about Adjutant Ho? Also captured? Yuan Chonghuan continued to ask.
"Vice General He jumped off the cliff and died in the country!" Then the soldier cried.
"Martyred?!" Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, then leaned back in his chair and didn't speak for a long time, before he said, "Tell me about the specific process!" ”
"Yes! Back to Vice Governor Yuan, the process is like this, when the Zu General Soldier took us to the foot of Rufeng Mountain, before going up the mountain, the Zu General Soldier sent some people to investigate, and then confirmed that it was safe before we began to go up the mountain, unexpectedly we were halfway to the time when we were about to reach our previous station, and suddenly were ambushed by the enemy, but the Zu General Army quickly organized us to retreat, but the enemy used artillery to attack us, and also cut off our way, Vice General He also failed to stop the enemy because of the disparity in strength, In the end, we had to jump off a cliff and die for our country, and we were also surrounded by Tartars! The soldier said.
"And how did you escape?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.
"Back to Vice Governor Yuan, a few of us are under the desperate efforts of the brothers, and the Tartars may see that we are small soldiers, so we didn't stop us much!" The soldier said.
"Good! I understand! Stand down and recuperate! Yuan Chonghuan said.
"Yes! Vice Governor Yuan! After saying that, he bowed and slowly withdrew.
Looking at the soldiers who had withdrawn, Yuan Chonghuan's face became solemn, and then he stood up, walked to the wall with the map hanging on the side of the table, and said, "Uncle! Tell us what you think! ”
Wu Sangui had been pondering since he heard the soldier's statement, and when he heard Yuan Chonghuan calling himself, he respectfully walked behind Yuan Chonghuan, and then looked at the map and said, "Uncle Yuan! Judging by the information we have received so far, it is very bad for us! From the beginning to the present, the first news we got was that Jinzhou City was besieged, so the cities outside Jinzhou, such as Daling River, Xiaoling River, Youtun and other cities should have fallen at this time, but the news did not come back, I think it should be surrounded by the Tartar army, the news can not be conveyed, and so far, the Tartars have even occupied Rufeng Mountain, so it can also show that the north of Songshan to Jinzhou has fallen into the hands of the Tartars! This Rufeng Mountain is composed of countless large and small hills and mountains, facing the Jinzhou side, and most of the terrain is gentle. Facing the pine mountain side, the same mountain ridge is undulating, and the hills are continuous, but when it is almost to the main bee, the mountain is slightly steep, and there are many barren grass and rocks in front of the ridge, only the elite infantry army can be used, and the cavalry and chariot can not be used. This Tartar occupies Rufeng Mountain, it occupies a favorable location, the north is based on the Xiongshan Mountain, and the south is overlooking the hills of the Sichuan Plain, like an ancient giant beast looking down coldly. They entered the important land of Jinzhou, and if we did not capture Rufeng Mountain, we would not want to enter Jinzhou for half a step. According to Xiongshan, if we want to attack this mountain, I am afraid that we will have to pay a heavy price! And a little Uncle Yuan! We don't know how many troops the Tartars currently have, but since they can concentrate on attacking Jinzhou, it means that they still have enough troops to defend Phi Dao and deal with harassment from the North Korean side! Obviously, there should be plenty of troops here! This is very suspicious! Where did they get so many troops? Moreover, and most importantly, the Tartars now have firearms! Then if we want to break the siege of Jinzhou, it will be even more difficult! ”
"You're right, so what's the solution?" Yuan Chonghuan continued.
"Uncle Yuan! The kid thought that with our troops, it would be impossible to quickly break the siege of Jinzhou! So all we can do today is one word! That's drag! Wu Sangui smiled and continued: "The first thing we have to do is to ask Governor Yuan for help, and the second is to do a good job of defending from Songshan to Xingshan, Tashan and Bijia Mountain, to ensure the smooth passage of our passage and the safety of food, and then we will wait for the arrival of reinforcements before making a specific strategy to relieve the siege." ”
"It's going to drag on like this! What if Jinzhou is broken? Yuan Chonghuan continued to ask.
"Uncle Yuan! How is the defense of Jinzhou City, you understand! Even if they have artillery! I won't be able to break the city for a while! Wu Sangui said.
"I'm just worried that the food and grass will be short! I get the rest! Yuan Chonghuan shook his head.
"In that case! In addition to doing a good job of local defense, we also have to feign to attack Rufeng Mountain from time to time! Attract the attention of the Tartars! That's right! Uncle Yuan! Although we can't attack Rufeng Mountain in a big way now, we can make it difficult for them to have a hard time on the mountain! Wu Sangui said with a smile.
"Oh?! How so? Yuan Chonghuan said with great interest.
Wu Sangui pointed to the dazzling sun outside the tent and said, "Now the sun is so big!" It's hot to come to the mountains! We can add a fire to them down the hill! You can't burn them to death or whatever! But it can also cause them a lot of trouble! In addition, the kid is very familiar with this area! From time to time, you can also bring someone to harass them! ”
"Haha! Good! Good! Good! Yuan Chonghuan patted Wu Sangui's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Very good!" Do as you say! It's all up to you! Go ahead! I'll take care of the rest of the defenses, too! ”
"The last general commands!" Wu Sangui saluted, and then walked out of the tent.
A few days later, in front of Yuan Keli's desk, a piece of information was handed over, Yuan Keli opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned, obviously, he was not satisfied with the situation on the front line, "If it continues like this, Jinzhou will no longer exist!" Sighing, Yuan Keli looked at Ah Fu next to him and asked, "How long will Governor Lu's capital camp arrive?" ”
"Sir! According to yesterday's message! They'll be there as soon as tomorrow! Ah Fu responded.
"That's it! I'll write a few letters, and you'll have them passed on to Governor Lu, so that he can act as soon as he receives them!" And the elements on the Phi Island side and on the front line are the same! Yuan Keli said.
"Yes! Master! Ah Fu bowed.
"Also, how are the troops sent to North Korea ready?" Yuan Keli asked.
"Sir! You're ready to go! Ah Fu bowed.
"Then let them go now! Don't delay! Yuan Keli said.
"Yes! Master! Ah Fu bowed.
Yuan Keli nodded, then waved his hand, Ah Fu bowed, took a few letters handed over by Yuan Keli and gently retreated, after Ah Fu retreated, Yuan Keli walked to the sand table that he had ordered people to do before, picked up a few flags, and planted them around Jinzhou City, and then looked at Shenyang and beyond, and said firmly: "Recovering Liaodong, it's time to regain it!" ”
