Su Yangyuan was a little angry, these officers in front of him were all his cronies, and they were also the best among his subordinates. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But except for Wang Sanli, he couldn't see the desire to fight from the eyes of others, and even a hint of cringe. This made him very disappointed and sad. Generals are the backbone of an army, and if even the generals become war-afraid, can this army still fight.

Thinking of the spirit of these generals when they suppressed Yang Huanyuan's uprising the year before last, Su Yangyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in just three years, the north and south of the river have changed like a world, and it has become a little difficult for him to adapt. Perhaps, everything is as Lord Futai said in the Kaifeng Tribute Academy, it is not a good thing for the Qing Dynasty to win the country, and it is not a bad thing to go through some hardships.

What hardships the Qing Dynasty has to go through is a good thing in the mouth of Futai, Su Yangyuan doesn't understand, but he vaguely feels that the current situation is an unprecedented opportunity for Han officials. In the past, no matter how big or small the battle was, the advantage was that the Manchurians had to go, and the commander must be Manchurians, but now, the green battalion has become the main force, and the Han superintendent can really become the actual commander, and there is no need to worry about the credit being robbed by the Manchurians. It can be said that in the 17 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it has only now really opened its upward channel to the Han people.

I heard that the imperial court was going to carry the Han army and the meritorious soldiers of the Green Banner Battalion into Manchuria, which was something that I had never dared to think of before. Even if it can't be carried into Manchuria, it is also a happy thing to be carried into the Han army. There is no braid on the brain, but with braids, it is difficult to give up after a long time.

Su Yangyuan will not surrender again, because he trusts the judgment of Lord Futai. Lord Futai said that the Ming Dynasty has long been exhausted, and now the situation is just a return to the light, and it won't be long before the thief Xiucai or Wu Sangui will abandon the Ming Dynasty and become independent. And the day they stood on their own feet was also the beginning of their downfall.

What is the reason, Lord Futai did not explain much, but he is sure that it will be like this in the future. Su Yangyuan believes in Lord Futai, because over the years, Lord Futai has never expected to miss a thing. After fighting with the loyal battalion for half a year, Su Yangyuan became more and more convinced that the Qing Dynasty would not die, because the Ming army was too bad, and Hao Shaoqi's gang still acted like a rogue. Since ancient times, no bandit or thief has been able to do anything.

Su Yangyuan regretted his carelessness a little, he didn't expect that Hao Shaoqi and Ta Tianbao, the two big guys, would join forces to surround him, if he had known this, he would have burned the inner countryside and took the initiative to retreat to Nanyang. To deal with thieves, you have to have this kind of ruthlessness, as long as they can't raise food and grass, no matter how many young and strong people they are coerced, they will eventually be water without a source, and they won't be able to last long.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and Su Yangyuan can only hope that Nanyang can come to save him now. He actually knew that what Bai Xiao said was right, the soldiers and horses in Neixiang City really couldn't defeat Hao Shaoqi and Ta Tianbao, but what Song Yu said was right, no matter how much action he made, he was afraid that the morale of the soldiers in the city would become more and more depressed.

Did Nanyang just watch the inner countryside fall?

Su Yangyuan still trusts Miao Chenglong, and does not doubt his character because the other party robbed his Nanyang general soldiers. But for a few days, Miao Chenglong has not come to the rescue of the inner countryside, which makes Su Yangyuan doubtful. However, he still did not suspect that Miao Chenglong would die or not, he was only worried about whether something had happened in other places that caused Miao Chenglong to be unable to come to the aid of the inner countryside.

Su Yangyuan put his hands on the battlement, quietly staring at the camp of the Ming army, and suddenly he turned to look at the generals.

"General!"

All the Qing generals are all in the same place, and Su Yangyuan's expression gives them a backbone.

"It's just a gang of bandits, what's there to be afraid of? If they had the ability to break the city, would they have waited until now? In the past, when I was going to follow Lord Futai and the army, I was never afraid of them, but now I have nothing to be afraid of against the remnants of the bandits! If they were good, they wouldn't be what they are now! ”

Su Yangyuan was full of energy, and his face was full of pride.

The generals' spirits were shocked, that's right, the Ming army outside the city really had the ability to attack the city, and they would have already killed it, how could it be surrounded until now! What does this mean, it shows that the Ming army outside the city is not capable of breaking the city at all, since this is the case, what is there to be afraid of!

"Mr. Miao will definitely come to the rescue of us, as long as we keep the inner countryside, we must be the ones who win!"

After cheering up his subordinates, Su Yangyuan asked them to return to their respective posts to guard, as long as Song Yu stayed.

Song Yu didn't know what the general had left him to explain, so he stood aside and waited for orders. Su Yangyuan thought about it for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth and ordered Song Yu: "You personally break through to Nanyang." ”

"General?" Song Yu was stunned.

Su Yangyuan smiled bitterly and said to Song Yu: "Those words were said to them just now, but now these words are said to you." Although the Ming army outside the city is a rabble, there are also tens of thousands of horses, and if it is surrounded for a long time, there will definitely be people in the city who will be shaken, so reinforcements must come immediately. You go in person and tell Mr. Miao that Neixiang is in danger, and he must come to the rescue immediately! ”

Song Yu hesitated: "General, judging from the last general, it is impossible for the Ming army to attack it." ”

"It's never bad to plan for the worst." Su Yangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he explained to Song Yu: "After dark, you choose ten of your subordinates to go out of the city, let them go first, and you last." ”

Song Yu nodded: "Don't worry, general, the last general will definitely see General Miao alive and move to the rescue!" ”

........

That night, ten fast horses suddenly rushed out of the inner countryside and broke through at the same time in several directions. The Ming army outside the city hurriedly intercepted, taking advantage of the chaos, Song Yu broke out with two relatives and rushed to Nanyang with two relatives.

Before dawn, Song Yu and the others finally saw Nanyang City. Without waiting for a breath, the three of them beat their horses to the city and shouted to the city: "We are from the inner countryside to ask for help, let us into the city!" ”

"From the countryside?"

When the Qing troops guarding the city heard the shouts, they did not care. In the past few days, three groups of people have come to the inner countryside to ask for help.

After the drawbridge was lowered, Song Yu rushed to the city gate first, and shouted to the Qing army in the city: "Where is General Miao, take me over quickly!" ”

At that moment, there was a member of the general Song Yu who brought the general Song Yu to the general soldier's mansion, and Miao Chenglong, the general soldier of Nanyang who was sleeping, had to report that someone from the inner countryside came to ask for help, frowned, and ordered someone to be brought over.

As soon as he saw Miao Chenglong, Song Yu bowed down: "Chief Miao soldiers, the inner countryside is in danger, please send troops to rescue Miao General Soldier quickly, otherwise, the inner countryside must not be protected!" ”

Song Yu was hoarse and anxious, looking at Miao Chenglong eagerly, waiting for the Nanyang general to order reinforcements. didn't want to, but Miao Chenglong shook his head and said to him: "You go back and tell Su Yangyuan that I won't send troops to save the inner countryside." ”

Song Yu was taken aback and said in surprise: "General, why is this?" Immediately, grief and indignation surged into his heart, and he said loudly: "The general must not be saved when he sees death!" ”

Miao Chenglong sighed, took out an official document from the desk and threw it in front of Song Yu: "Look at it yourself." ”

"This?"

Song Yu picked up the official document from the ground in confusion, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly lost his voice: "What? Wu Sangui broke through the Tong Pass, the pioneers Hu Guozhu and Wang Pingfan entered Henan, and the Lord Futai asked the general army to withdraw and return to Kaifeng! ”
