624, Iron Horse Autumn Wind Cangzhou City (4)

For Yu Guozhen, this is definitely not good news, 20,000 Jianyu entering the south, no matter where the target of the attack is, it may cause him big trouble.

What Yu Guozhen was most worried about was not that they were going to attack the city and plunder the land, but that these captives bypassed the fortified city and began their best looting activities. In some important targets in the east of Shandong, he has armed militia to guard, these prisoners can only cause trouble, but will not do much harm, but in the vast countryside, there are only ordinary militia, and in some places, even Yu Guozhen's decree, can not be reached. It will take more manpower and time to be broken into these places by these bandits, and then to clear them.

However, this is a problem of ringworm and scabies, and it is not worth Yu Guozhen to change his original battle plan.

And it didn't take long for a messenger from Texas to arrive, and the news of Aobai's death in the city of Texas came. Hearing that he had killed another Jianyu general, and although Dezhou City was set on fire for two streets, the casualties and military losses were not large, and Yu Guozhen was still relatively happy. Wu Sangui and Jianyu actually made a mistake in judgment, which made Yu Guozhen feel a little surprised.

He himself returned to Dezhou with 3,000 Huaxia troops, while the rest of the troops continued north to support Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming.

Along with this, there was also Yu Guozhen's order: continue to increase the pressure, trumpet the results of Cangzhou and Dezhou, and let Dolgon, who was patrolling near the Beijing Division, speed up his southward movement.

In addition, Yu Guozhen also ordered the latest issue of the newspaper to hype up the victory of Cangzhou and Texas.

Tianjin Wei, Wu Sangui military camp.

Wu Sangui's hand shook gently. He knew he was in big trouble.

Aobai's southward movement was originally only an attack on him, which was Aobai's own idea, and was also agreed by Azig. If he doesn't intervene, then defeat will be defeat, and Azig can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood in his stomach.

But now that he has intervened, the nature of the matter has changed. It became that he instigated Ao Bai to attack Texas. As a result, he must take responsibility for the defeat.

At least Azig will put all the blame on him, and even Azig will be the first to do so. Come and find him trouble.

"What should I do, why did I make a mistake, why are there so many troops in Texas City?"

Although it is pointless to think about why there are heavy troops in Texas City. Wu Sangui still couldn't help but think about that place in his heart. Just then, he heard a commotion outside, and then his door was kicked open.

Wu Sangui naturally had warrior guards by his side, and they rose up with their swords and hurriedly protected Wu Sangui behind them.

A large crowd of Goshkha swarmed in, and immediately after, Azig walked in. His face was gloomy, and he was carrying a knife in his hand, and the head of the knife was still bleeding. Wu Sangui's pupils contracted suddenly. Obviously, the guards who were blocking Azig outside had already suffered an accident.

"King Yingjun is here, I don't know what you are doing?" Wu Sangui got up and motioned for the guards to get out of the way. He said unhurriedly: "If there is anything, a summons, I will go to listen to it, why do you need the king of the county to come in person?" ”

Azig inserted the knife into the scabbard and looked at Wu Sangui indifferently, as if he was looking at a dead man.

"Moham. The king of the county came here, is Xingshi asking for guilt? ”

Wu Sangui was indeed very panicked in his heart, but he understood that panic could not solve the problem, at this time, he had to be calm, if he showed a panicked look, Azig might even kill him and take his soldiers.

"You know, I'm here to ask for sin?" Hearing this, Azig raised his eyebrows.

"Aobai's death is worth it." Wu Sangui said categorically.

"Oh?" Azig sneered: "Ao Bai is the first emperor's confidant and favorite general, the first emperor entrusted him with the flag affairs, since the army, he has been invincible in the siege of the city, so he was given the brave name of Baturu...... He died in the city of Texas, do you still think his death was worth it? ”

"We have all ignored before that Yu Guozhen's troops are not only the 50,000 troops present now. King Yingjun, think about it, if we were holding on to Yu Guozhen, his elite in Texas was ambushed, and suddenly killed, what would the result be? Wu Sangui said eloquently: "Yu Guozhen is extremely cunning, he has transferred the southern troops on the surface, and it seems that he has not completed the preparations for war, but in fact he has transferred the heavy troops to Texas!" ”

"What do you mean?" Azig was slightly stunned, indeed, Jianyu also had his own intelligence system, in which he did not get any news of Yu Guozhen's mobilization of other troops. Azig could determine that killing Aobai himself and defeating Aobai's 20,000 iron horsemen was by no means something anyone could do.

That must be Yu Guozhen's hidden elite, and there are quite a few of them!

"Yu Guozhen asked Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming to bring 20,000 soldiers here, and he sent 20,000 soldiers here, which seems to be a tactic of adding wine, we all know that this is a taboo for soldiers. Next month, Yu Guozhen will have another 20,000 reinforcements arriving, if we are accustomed to his 220,000 increase in troops, but suddenly 40,000 or even 60,000 will come, and we will divide our troops to attack our rear and destroy our defensive line, we will definitely be caught off guard, even if we support it, the battle will be stalemate for a long time. You and I both know that the stalemate in the war situation is beneficial to Yu Guozhen and a great disadvantage to our side! ”

Wu Sangui was just talking nonsense at first, but after getting the news of the defeat in Dezhou and Cangzhou, he has been thinking about why Yu Guozhen hid such a force in Dezhou. He had found many reasons, and now he analyzed them to Azig.

Azig's face has been gloomy, although he came this time to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but he has no intention of killing Wu Sangui. What he is most worried about is that at present, there are only 20,000 people left in his hands, killing Wu Sangui, and relying on 20,000 people to control Wu Sangui's nearly 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people, it is simply impossible.

This matter, only waiting for Dolgon to come to the end, he can only beat Wu Sangui at most.

"Therefore, we can't wait any longer, Yu Guozhen's secret ambush of the strong army is now tested by Aobai, he will no longer hide it, the ambushed strong army will definitely go north in the starry night!" Wu Sangui said again: "We must urge King Rui and ask him to come quickly." Let's break Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming as soon as possible, and we can break Yu Guozhen's arrangement! ”

"Last time, you speculated that the garrison of Dezhou City was empty, and as a result, Ao Bai gave his life, and now you speculate that Yu Guozhen is secretly ambushing his troops, who do you want to give his life?" After staring at Wu Sangui for a while, Azig said slowly: "I know, King Rui all these years. It's all about letting Aobai contact you, and Aobai is your master......"

When Azig said this, Wu Sangui's pupils shrank slightly. But there was still a smile on his face. Azig didn't see anything unusual on his face, so he continued: "Among my subordinate Han Chinese, some people say that you are Lu. What is Lou, do you know? ”

"Maxima, the minister naturally understands."

"No, it's a nuisance." Azig said: "Chongzhen trusts you and puts the Guanning army into your hands, but when Li Zicheng invaded the Jingshi, he named you an uncle and urged you to come to your aid, but you delayed the patrol, causing Chongzhen **." Listen to you. Raid the South......"

"If the King of Yingjun thinks that I am not right, I am willing to obey the order of the King of Yingjun, anyway, it is not my country that I lost, but the country of your love Xinjue Luo. Of course, Yu Guozhen wants to kill me quickly, but what he wants to kill is only me, Wu Sangui. It won't affect my people. As for whether the Aixinjue Luo clan can survive after the defeat, I think the king of Yingjun can't think about it at that time. Wu Sangui was furious, saying that he was a slave, and he endured it, but he also turned over the old account of Chongzhen's death. made Wu Sangui intolerable.

This is also a manifestation of his weak heart.

Azig sneered: "That being the case, let's go to the Shurui King together." ”

Their letters reached Dolgon at about the same time. Although Azig was eager to shirk the responsibility for Aobai's death, he also implicitly admitted that Wu Sangui's speculation was highly likely.

Dorgon was not in a hurry to make a decision, and he tossed the two letters to a man kneeling in front of him.

"Mr. Fan, look at this."

"The minions don't dare, how can the minions read this letter that is related to the affairs of the military state!" This Mr. Fan is not Fan Wencheng, he hung his neck and said timidly. Fan Wencheng is a Hanchen, and he is not qualified to call himself a slave in front of Dolgon, but this Mr. Fan is not.

"Mr. Fan, since the time of my father, your family has had a lot of dealings with my Aixinjue Luo clan, and when I was the first emperor, you strongly supported my Qing Dynasty's cause, and many of the military funds needed by the Qing Dynasty every year were sent by you with tireless work." Dorgon said gently, "Take a look, and then use the information you have received to advise me whether what is said in this letter is true or false." ”

This Mr. Fan's name is Fan Yongdou, who has been doing business in Zhangjiakou for generations, and is known as "Jia Yu in the border city, written by faith", but his faith is to speak to Jianlu, not to the Ming Dynasty, not only smuggling military funds to Jianlu, but also revealing the reality of the Ming Dynasty to Jianlu, among which Jianyu has invaded and plundered several times, many of which are also sold by them.

Hearing what Dorgon had to say, he opened the letter and read it carefully. Then he said: "What Wu Hou said is not allowed, what Yu Guozhen is hiding in Texas is not the elite, but the armed militia." In the past three years, Yu Guozhen has trained 150,000 armed militiamen in Shandong, and now 100,000 are in Dezhou and Jinan. Several wealthy businessmen who had business dealings with slaves had inadvertently leaked this matter, saying that this was Yu Guozhen's plan to hide his troops from the people. When necessary, he can turn the people into an army, and his combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of elite officers and soldiers. ”

"In other words, Yu Guozhen's troops in the east of Shandong are not 40,000 as previously imagined, but ...... 190,000! "Dolgon was convinced of the news that Fan Yongdou had brought.

"Exactly, if you add the military-trained young and strong, Yu Guozhen can gather hundreds of thousands of troops in the east of the mountain at any time. Moreover, the slave came to see the regent this time because he heard the news from the shopkeeper of Texas with carrier pigeons, saying that after Yu Guozhen returned to Texas, he ordered the militia to start mobilizing, and it seemed that he was preparing to go north on a large scale. ”

"Unexpectedly, Yu Guozhen's layout is far away, and he began to prepare for the current battle three years ago?" Dorgon muttered.

If this is the case, then he really can't go on patrol anymore, and he must defeat the 40,000 troops on the front line of the other side before Yu Guozhen completes his mobilization.

Otherwise, there is no chance of winning this matter!

"Order, the army is also on the way, Tianjin Wei must be obtained within two days, and the decisive battle must be fought within five days!" Dorgon ordered. (To be continued)
