Chapter 228: Where is Hong Chengchou?
Under Yanjing City, the Huangtai Camp is a big camp.
The expression on Huang Taiji's face now is very exciting, as if he had just won the lottery and died of his mother, the two eyes are one big and one small, I don't know whether he wants to cry or laugh, it looks quite funny.
"Wu Xiang set up the camp in the northeast? Is he so sure he's going to lose? Gongsun Zan is like this, Wu Xiang is also like this, none of them play cards according to the routine, and they plan to gamble with Ben Khan on the fortune of the country? Who gave them confidence? Suddenly, the entire Liaodong changed to such an unrestrained style of play, and Ben Khan really couldn't accept it. ”
Everyone also followed with a look of crying and laughing, betting on the fortune of the country, this kind of thing often happened in the Manchu Dynasty, or the first time it happened in the Ming Dynasty, is it possible that the arrogant Ming finally admitted that his national strength was weaker than that of the Manchu Dynasty? After all, only a weak country will take the initiative to gamble on the fortunes of the country.
Anyway, everyone can see it, now this battle is likely to be the last battle between the Manchus and the Ming Dynasty, if this battle is won by the Manchus, then the fall of the Ming Dynasty can basically enter the countdown, on the contrary, if the Ming Dynasty wins, then I am afraid that everything will return to before Salhu, even worse than then, and I can't help but raise my spirit.
"Wu Xiang's hand is also clever, alas! Look down on him. ”
It was none other than the one-eyed dragon Li Keyong who spoke, this Li Keyong was extremely capable of Shatuo people's combat strength, and Huang Taiji also attached great importance to his opinion, so he asked: "I don't know what General Li has to say, where is this Wu Xiang?" ”
"I may not say how much higher, but what is rare is his loyalty. Great Khan, think about it, although this place is not far from Shanhaiguan, if it is a foot march, I am afraid it will take a day, if our army charges at them, with his 30,000 men, it will definitely be defeated. ”
"Yes, although the Liaodong Army is brave, it is not difficult to destroy them when they go out of the city to fight in the field."
"Wu Xiang's move is forcing the Great Khan to make a choice, whether to continue to concentrate forces to attack Yanjing City, or turn around and solve Wu Xiang behind us first? If we attack Yanjing City first, whether this Wu Xiang is behind our back, whether it is harassment or destruction, it will give my army a headache, so what makes the difference whether he enters the city or not?
If you concentrate your forces to deal with Wu Xiang first, you will not dare to send reinforcements to help him when you want to come to Yanjing City, as the Han said, Wu Xiang may not have time to return to Shanhaiguan, but it can buy them the most time for the Ming Court! He is now building a village in the mountains, and it is not difficult to keep it for ten days and eight days with his ability, but after ten days and eight days, the Qinwang reinforcements from all over the country should almost arrive, Dahan, don't forget, Gongsun Chan is still in Shenyang, Wu Xiang is handing over his life! ”
This truth is not complicated, everyone present naturally understands, but I didn't think about it so thoroughly for a while, and there is a third point that I didn't say, once Gongsun Zhan's side succeeded first, then Huang Taiji could only go home from the northwest to return the same way and go around, I'm afraid that when the time comes, not to mention Liaodong, even Hetuara will be burned into a sea of fire.
Everyone didn't speak, this is a dilemma, Wu Xiang is using his entire army of 30,000 people as a bet, forcing Huang Taiji to choose, gambling on the fortune of the country, but first put his life on the card table, it depends on whether Huang Taiji eats or not.
"I heard that Wu Xiang's son was just promoted to the general army of Datong a few days ago, and the blue is better than the blue, this Wu Xiang is willing to do it for the future of his son."
Everyone smiled bitterly when they heard this, they and Wu Xiang are also old rivals, this one has always been decent, there has been nothing wrong but nothing has been brilliant, just now I wondered why he did such an outrageous thing, and now Huang Taiji knows the reason for this.
The biggest official of the Ming military generals is the general soldier, and the next one is honor rather than official position, a double general soldier, and they are the most elite troops at the front line, plus the relationship between Zu Dashou, the former first warrior of the Ming Dynasty, and their grandfather, I am afraid this is a bit too much, even if Chongzhen does not doubt the loyalty of their father and son, even if it is out of a balanced position, some measures must be taken.
But Wu Xiang did this, things will be different, if Huang Taiji did not eat his piece of meat, after this battle will inevitably retire with the highest honor of military generals, from then on his son on the road to the road, if Huang Taiji eats him is actually not bad, his grace will be blessed on his son, plus this Wu Sangui's age, I am afraid that it is not necessary to mix a general seal in the future. (The word general in the Ming Dynasty is very precious, and only Zuo Liangyu has a general seal at the end of the entire Ming Dynasty)
This kind of political account can even be understood by the Manchu barbarians, not to mention the old fox here in the Ming Dynasty, less than an hour after Wu Xiang set up camp, whether it is strategic or political intentions, including Chongzhen, everyone's hearts are like mirrors, Chongzhen is naturally overjoyed, and Qin Hao is very excited to say: "Wu Aiqing is loyal and brave, I am very relieved, you see, his son... ”
Qin Hao also frowned and pondered, Wu Xiang's hand was also greatly beyond Qin Hao's expectations, but think about it, in history, Wu Sangui could become a general soldier at such a young age, in addition to his own combat bravery, Wu Xiang's early retirement may also play a decisive role, this is a good father who is dedicated to the good of his son.
At this time, if you don't let go of Wu Sangui, it's really a bit too much to say, originally, Wu Sangui is under house arrest for no reason, when people fought fiercely in the northwest, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a meritorious man, and now that people's fathers have even done such a thing, you still hold on to other people's sons who have no faults and merits, won't your conscience hurt?
While Wu Xiang didn't know that his son was under house arrest, it was the right thing to release him at this time, otherwise don't say what Wu Xiang thought in his heart, I am afraid that the soldiers in Yanjing City will be cold first.
Put.... Or don't let go?
Hong Chengchou's surrender is like a thorn in his heart, this Li Fuyao is very likely to have the same skills as the heart trick, so that people who originally had a destiny in history can do things according to history, even if this matter seems so unreasonable.
"Don't let go! If Wu Xiang has any ideas, I will explain to him, after this battle, the honor of their father and son will not be less, and I can't lose them, but this battle, no matter what, Wu Sangui can't be allowed to go. ”
"This... I know your decision has something to do with Hong Chengchou, but can you tell me why? ”
"Don't ask, I can't explain it to you, I'll think about when to release Wu Sangui, why don't you wait for me to see Hong Chengchou, by the way, Huang Taiji has been attacking the city for several days, except for the first day, has anyone seen Hong Chengchou on the battlefield?"
"Uh... It doesn't seem to be. Hiss~ I only reacted when you said this, if you want to say who is most familiar with Jingshi, it must be him Hong Chengchou! But why haven't you seen him on the battlefield for days? Could it be that one of them ... Have an article? ”
