615, the golden drum slowly beats the dragon (3)
Cangzhou has been convenient by land and water since ancient times, and it is a famous town. From martial arts to juggling, from the canal to the Bohai Sea, outstanding people. But at this time, because the war clouds were low, the blood light was faint, and the city was silent, like a dead city.
Tian Boguang looked at the city from afar, and saw that the banner of Wu Sangui's Zhennanhou at the head of the city was still Gaoxian, and he couldn't help but scold: "I am looking for death, but I can't blame me." ”
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and if you don't see the Yellow River, you won't give up, people, it's all like this." Next to him, Gu Jiaming said lazily.
"You are too, you look weak, could it be that your daughter-in-law made you kneel on the washboard again?"
"Nonsense, I've been in the army these days, and my daughter-in-law is still in Jinan Mansion."
"You can remotely control the letter, but I heard that every time Jiang'an Na goes to the Wa Kingdom, his daughter-in-law writes a letter every day......" Speaking of this, Tian Boguang smiled ambiguously.
"You, start a family earlier, settle your mind, and save yourself from talking nonsense. Look at how many of us are still like you! It's not that no one wants it, but it is rumored that there are countless beauties who have secretly promised you. Gu Jiaming is still lazy.
"The world is not peaceful, why should it be a family." Tian Boguang is righteous and stern, but the next sentence reveals his true nature: "Besides, I don't want to be like Jiang'an and you, give up the whole garden for a piece of grass, tsk, now I'm the most popular character in Yokoba Society, jealous, jealous, hahaha......"
The two of them looked extremely relaxed, as did the soldiers around them. Qi Niu never participated in this kind of discussion, but just listened with a smile. Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming quarreled for a while, both of them were bored, Tian Boguang said: "We have to do something like it, let another prisoner in, and say that if we don't surrender, we will bombard the city!" ”
Wu San knelt under the turtle son's subordinates and mingled with the people. We open fire, what about the casualties of the people? Gu Jiaming shook his head and said.
"Scare people, and just shoot a few shots at the wall." Tian Boguang's temperament has always been a little jumpy.
"It's up to you to get it." Gu Jiaming also had no way to take him.
So two shots were fired. Wu Sangui's subordinates simply took the people to the city, and their intention was very obvious, that is, if you bombarded the city again. Then you blew up these people.
Tian Boguang was originally playing, but this method of Wu Sangui's subordinates also aroused his true fire: "Wu Sangui's subordinates in Cangzhou City are very loyal, Wang Haoran gave the killing order at the beginning, it seems that I will also do it next time." ”
"Don't worry, aren't we going to drag our time here anyway?" Gu Jiaming said in a low voice.
Tian Boguang snorted: "I have already given them a killing order in my heart!" ”
"General, the southern thief really stopped firing the cannon!"
The defenders of Wu Sangui in the city found that the Huaxia army had not fired a single cannon for a long time, and immediately went to the guard to report the news with joy. When the guard heard the news, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "God bless me, the southern thief has the kindness of this woman, and we are saved!" The general had already sent troops from Beijing three days ago. The reinforcements have reached Tianjin Wei, and they will come along the canal, and as long as there are two more days, they can reach Cangzhou. Brothers, today we have dragged the people for a day. Tomorrow another day, the Lord will arrive! ”
At the end, he roared again and said, "Kill the pigs and sheep today, and let the brothers eat a good meal, but they are not allowed to drink wine, and be careful at night." Hugh taught the southern thieves to touch the city! ”
After receiving his order, Wu Sangui's soldiers in the city munched on joy, and the people cried gloomily.
For two days in a row, the Huaxia army did not take any action, and the guards in the city did not care, and on the third day, Wu Sangui really led the reinforcements to arrive, and the Huaxia army did not continue the siege because of the arrival of Wu Sangui's corps, but retreated ten miles, and arrived near the Jiedi River excavated in later generations.
Wu Sangui did not enter the city with his whole army, and in the northeast corner of the city, he set up two barracks to ensure his retreat before entering the city.
"The Southern Thieves didn't attack the city seriously?" Seeing the appearance of the city wall, he asked in surprise.
Originally, he thought that it would be good for the Cangzhou defenders to hold the city, but he didn't expect that not only did they hold the city, but they didn't even lose anything at all, and even the city walls were not knocked down.
That's impossible!
"The southern thieves tried to attack, but they were repelled by us." The guard will naturally not forget to show his merits: "And the southern thieves are dull, they have the kindness of women, they want to bombard the city with artillery, and we will escort the people to the city, and the southern thieves can only give up when they see this situation." ”
"When you see the people, you won't attack the city?" Wu Sangui almost laughed when he heard this.
This is impossible, and it's not Zhu Di! At the beginning, Zhu Di was difficult to appease and hit Ji'nan City, but he couldn't attack the city in the face of the tablet of his Laozi Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. The people in Cangzhou City are not Yu Guozhen's Laozi tablet, how can he have this kind of woman's benevolence, there must be fraud behind it!
"Indeed, I haven't attacked the city for two days, so I think I'm asking Yu Guozhen for orders." The guard general is not an idiot: "I heard that Yu Guozhen is the most hypocritical, and he has always flaunted his love for the people, if something really hurts the people, the generals below will be pushed out to take responsibility, right?" ”
Wu Sangui nodded slowly, but in fact, in his heart, he didn't believe it at all.
Yu Guozhen must have some plans, and Wu Sangui also guessed a little bit of Yu Guozhen's plans. However, this plan is the most beneficial choice for him personally, so Wu Sangui not only doesn't want to say anything, but also cooperates.
"Since the other party is not attacking, send a messenger to deliver a letter to Yu Guozhen on my behalf." Wu Sangui said slowly, and then looked at a person beside him: "Mr. Lu'an, would you like to be my envoy and go to see Yu Guozhen for me?" ”
The Confucian scholar known as Mr. Lu'an brushed his beard and shook his head: "I want to go and meet this Yu Jimin." ”
About half an hour later, Tian Boguang received a report that an old man rode a horse and came out of Cangzhou City, and asked to see Yu Guozhen by name.
"Let him come over, it must be Wu San's messenger." Tian Boguang was overjoyed when he heard this: "I'm bored, someone came to the door to scold!" ”
After a while, the old man came to Tian Boguang.
"This old man looks good, but I don't know how eloquent he is." Tian Boguang thought secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "My husband is here, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
Seeing the old man dressed up, Tian Boguang also pretended to look like a crepe when he spoke, and Gu Jiaming next to him knew that he was funny, and he didn't say anything, just watched the excitement.
The old man stood proudly, and the crutches in his hand paused slightly: "Old man Feng Quan, if you want to see Yu Jimin, you will be kind to the old man." ”
"Feng Quan? I've never heard of it, my husband is here, isn't he here to tell me that Wu Sankneel wants to change his name? ”
Feng Quan was stunned for a moment, the officer of the Huaxia Army in front of him was different from any military general he had seen before, not only was he too young, but more importantly, in the face of a well-educated Confucian student like him, he had a kind of calmness, as if the two were also equal in learning.
In the thousands of years of Chinese tradition, ordinary people, no matter how big the official is, will have a kind of respect and crampedness in the face of well-educated Confucianism, even if they are just white. Feng Quan dared to promise Wu Sangui that he would come to see Yu Guozhen to find out the bottom because he was very sure of his knowledge. He doesn't necessarily have to work for Wu Sangui, for him, Wu Sangui is just a ladder, a ladder that helps him climb to the political peak of his life.
"What name does Wu San kneel want to change?" Seeing that the old man was not cooperative, Gu Jiaming had no choice but to make fun of Tian Boguang.
"Naturally, Wu Si is kneeling, ready to surrender to our Huaxia Army, and kneel again." Tian Boguang laughed dryly, but found that a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the old man in front of him, but there was no shame at all.
Feng Quan naturally didn't feel ashamed, he didn't really regard Wu Sangui as his master, and he didn't think much of Tian Boguang's ridicule of Wu Sangui at all, and even felt that there was a bit of a fuss. He coughed, and after Tian Boguang's laughter stopped, he said slowly: "Zhennanhou and Yu Jimin are old friends, and now although they are hostile, they always have to say hello, you should send me to see Yu Jimin." ”
"Uncle, have you looked in the mirror by the river today?" Tian Boguang sneered: "What a big face, what do you say I should do?" Just because of you, you also want to see the commander of my family? ”
"The old man has been a bachelor of two books and three palaces, and he always has the qualifications to come to see Yu Jimin." Feng Quan said with a little smugness: "Yu Jimin is in a position at this time, it is the time to recruit the world's heroes, and seeing the old man will be beneficial to his great cause - if it is because of the delay of the two of you, you two can't afford to be guilty!" ”
"The old man is confident, two books and three halls...... I don't know what this thing is, I just know that Wu Sangui is now working as a dog for Jianyu, and you are running errands for Jianyu's lackeys. It's me, if I'm not bored, I don't want to see you, let alone my family commander? Tian Boguang didn't care about his former identity, and when he opened his mouth, he tried his best to be sarcastic: "No wonder when I see you, I feel that something is wrong, how can there be such a heavy dog smell on a good person...... Wait a minute, two books and three halls? Feng Quan? I remember, I once heard someone say that you are the president of the "Three Dynasties" for Wei Zhongxian, right? ”
Tian Boguang suddenly remembered that this old man's reputation had something to do with that Sun Zhiqi. Since Sun Zhiqi was expelled, some deeds about this eunuch figure have also been circulated in Chinese newspapers, when Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian and burned the "Three Dynasties Classics", Sun Zhiqi was the only one who cried bitterly, and even the names of several eunuch party members who compiled the "Three Dynasties Classics" also entered Tian Boguang's ears.
Feng Quan snorted: "You also know the name of the old man!" ”
In his words, he was very proud, he had been idle at home all these years because of his eunuch background, and Chongzhen had sought to recover in the fourteenth year but could not. He had been following Yu Guozhen's development, and after discovering that Yu Guozhen was not on good terms with his sworn enemies, the Donglin Party, he felt that his opportunity had come.
It is impossible for Yu Guozhen to roll up his sleeves and go into battle in person to fight with the Donglin people, there must always be some literati in his hands. Therefore, Feng Quan felt that this was his opportunity, but Sun Zhiqi's speculation failure made him realize that unless he could endure the loneliness of starting from the grassroots level, it would not be possible to directly join Yu Guozhen. He whimsically found another way to persuade Wu Sangui that if he could let Wu Sangui surrender to Yu Guozhen, then he would naturally be able to have a high starting point in Yu Guozhen's hands.
This plan can't be said to be bad, it's just that he met Tian Boguang.
