Chapter 892: Fan Wencheng's Self-Redemption

After Zilharang retreated from Xuanzhou, there was no delay, he did not choose the route from Tieshan to Xiuyan, at this time, Zierharang must think of Duoduo, the army led by Duoduo is attacking Fuzhou, if his prediction is good, Su Tiancheng will definitely lead the army and move in the direction of Fuzhou, if Duoduo also encounters the ambush of the Jiangning battalion, it will be an irreparable loss. Therefore, the route chosen by Zilharang was to go directly to Fuzhou from Tieshan, but this time, he was much more cautious and sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter in front to see if there was an ambush from the Jiangning battalion.

The speed of the march is very fast, almost day and night are on the road, the situation in Xuanzhou, Zierharang wrote a good note, reported to the Emperor Taiji, at this time, he still doesn't know the situation of the Dao Daishan and the Red Flag soldiers, but it is certainly not very good, otherwise the scouts of Daishan should have come to contact a long time ago, when evacuating Xuanzhou, the scouts sent by Daishan, begging for life and death, but Zierharang can not continue to delay, after the army evacuated the battle, these scouts also disappeared, Zierharang can't take care of so much, Some scouts have been sent to scout the direction of the valley, but no news has been received so far.

Fan Wencheng was very silent all the way, the intelligence network established did not work this time, in fact, this can't be blamed on Fan Wencheng, the intelligence network established by Fan Wencheng is focused on the Ming Dynasty, as for the place ruled by the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng has not been so bold as to dare to establish an intelligence network without authorization, this is the crime of bullying the king, without the permission of Huang Taiji, he will not dare to die, but the Zhenghongqi soldiers led by Dai Shan were ambushed by Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion, Fan Wencheng's heart was very uncomfortable, and he was also extremely worried. I don't know what Emperor Taiji will do when he learns such news.

It's useless to regret, Fan Wencheng can only be doubly careful, analyze some situations, and give Zilharang ideas when it is critical. For example, this time the army went to Fuzhou, Fan Wencheng completely agreed, thinking that Prince Zheng's decision was completely correct, and he had to join Duoduo's army, since he did not plan to attack Xuanzhou, then the Fuzhou direction could not suffer.

In fact, Fan Wencheng already had some ideas in his heart, that is, Su Tiancheng would not launch an attack in the direction of Fuzhou. This time, the direction of the main attack of the Jiangning battalion is the Zhenghongqi of Daishan, as long as the Zhenghongqi can be defeated, or even annihilated by the Zhenghongqi, Su Tiancheng has won a huge victory, and the Great Qing State can be said to be a complete defeat.

This idea, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to say, it was just his analysis. He didn't know what the specific situation was. In case the analysis went wrong, he couldn't afford such a responsibility, relatively speaking, both Zilharan and Dordor could bear it.

The main direction of attack of the Jiangning battalion was not in Fuzhou, which does not mean that Su Tiancheng did not plan to attack. If Daishan fails, Su Tiancheng is afraid that he will lead a large army and quickly rush to Fuzhou, and the inside and outside should be combined to flank the army led by Duoduo. In this case, the losses of the Great Qing Kingdom will be even more heavy.

From this level, it is very wise for Zilharang to lead the army to Fuzhou, the two armies converge, and the strength is as high as 80,000, so many people, Su Tiancheng cannot swallow them in one go.

Fan Wencheng said what should be said, and Fan Wencheng who shouldn't say it won't speak.

In fact, there are also some problems in the relationship between him and Zilharang, the key is that Daishan was ambushed, and Jierharang counted this responsibility on his head, and his attitude will naturally not be so good, Fan Wencheng is also bitter and can't say it, so he can only bear it silently. It's a bad taste, but it's still going to be enduring.

The scouts in front soon came with the news that the army led by Duoduo was stationed in Jinzhou and did not attack Fuzhou City and Lushun.

Zilharang's face changed, he quickly looked at the map, and vaguely understood, all this was the arrangement made by Huang Taiji, according to the original plan, Duoduo was stationed in Jinzhou, this is the best arrangement, restricting the Jiangning battalion sergeants in Fuzhou and Lushun, and when the other two armies rush to Fuzhou, they can launch a general attack on the Jiangning battalion soldiers.

But now the situation has changed, Duoduo is stationed in Jinzhou, which is very dangerous, which is equivalent to being surrounded by the Jiangning battalion, if Su Tiancheng leads the army and rushes to Fuzhou, Duoduo's army will encounter a real flanking attack, at that time, it is very difficult to think about retreating.

Zilharang didn't dare to take risks, he found Fan Wencheng, and at this time, he needed to discuss it with Fan Wencheng.

"Lord Fan, these days I only care about the march, I haven't had time to talk, the situation in front of me is very clear, I just got the information, Prince Yu is stationed in Jinzhou, I don't know what Lord Fan thinks."

Fan Wencheng looked at the map, and his face changed.

Ji'er Harang paid attention to Fan Wencheng's face, seeing Fan Wencheng's expression change, he knew Lu Dao, Fan Wencheng probably didn't know the arrangement of Huang Taiji, it seems that the entire combat deployment was determined by Huang Taiji himself, thinking of this, Zierharang's opinion of Fan Wencheng was better, after all, Fan Wencheng is Han, and it is impossible to know so many secrets of Lu Dao. This is a tradition of the Great Qing Dynasty, and in any case, there is a difference between Manchus and Han Chinese.

"Lord, the slave thinks that Prince Yu is stationed in Jinzhou, which is very dangerous, in this battle, Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion have seized the opportunity, and my Qing Kingdom has lost the best opportunity, the prince led the army to evacuate Xuanzhou, the Jiangning battalion sergeants stationed in Xuanzhou, and the Jiangning battalion sergeants who set up ambushes, can quickly rush to Fuzhou, if Prince Yu continues to be stationed in Jinzhou, I am afraid that he will encounter a flank attack from both sides."

"Yes, I'm also thinking about this, I don't know what choice you think Prince Yu should make."

"The slave thinks that the prince should inform Prince Yu as soon as possible, immediately evacuate Jinzhou, bypass Fuzhou, and be stationed in Yongning, the prince led the army, and also went to Yongning, and the army met in Yongning, and then waited for the news of Prince Li."

Zierharang nodded, stationed in Yongning, it is the safest, it is okay to attack Fuzhou, there is no problem in retreating to Gaizhou, even if the Jiangning battalion wants to pursue, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

"It's just that this letter is not easy to write, I don't know what Prince Lu Daoyu thinks, maybe I won't believe it, my warrior of the Great Qing Kingdom, invincible in the world, has never suffered such a heavy defeat, I don't know what kind of thoughts Lu Dao Duoduo will think when he sees this letter, maybe he won't believe it."

"Lord Wang, the slave is willing to send the letter in person, and he will definitely report the specific situation to Prince Yu."

Zierharang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fan Wencheng to make such a decision, Fan Wencheng has passed the age of not being confused, he is not young, he has always been a civil official, he has not participated in the fight, and his body is thin, but at this time, he volunteered to send a letter to Prince Yu, which is tantamount to playing with his life, but Fan Wencheng is indeed the best candidate to send a letter.

For a moment, Zilharang was a little moved.

"Master Fan, you are old and in poor health, it is very dangerous to send a letter to Prince Yu, I think it is better to forget it, I will send the personal soldiers around me to deliver the letter, in case Prince Yu does not believe it, I will continue to send personal soldiers."

"Lord Wang, let's go and deliver the letter, the time is urgent, in case Su Tiancheng makes other arrangements, I'm afraid it's too late, there is no problem with the minion, these days follow the army, the minion has already adapted."

Zilharang looked at Fan Wencheng for a long time before he spoke.

"Then it's hard for Lord Fan, I will allocate a hundred personal soldiers to follow you to Jinzhou, pay attention to safety along the way, I will especially entrust the personal soldiers, not to fight, in case of danger, immediately destroy the letter and escort Lord Fan back."

"Lord Wang, the slave will pay attention, and he will definitely go to Jinzhou, but the slave has a request that must be put forward."

"If Lord Fan has any request, just say it."

"The slave asks the pro-soldiers who follow to Jinzhou, and they must obey the arrangement of the slave, so that the slave can guarantee that they will arrive in Jinzhou and see Prince Yu."

"There is no problem with this, the pro-soldiers must obey your command, I will send a Niu Lu Ezhen, completely obey your arrangement."

"In this way, the slave will be relieved, the prince can rest assured, the slave will definitely be able to reach Jinzhou."

"Alright, Master Fan will go and prepare immediately, and set off in half an hour."

Fan Wencheng quickly returned to the carriage, all his luggage was in the carriage, this time to Jinzhou, there was no need to bring any luggage, it was not far from Jinzhou, but there were many dangers along the way, in the army, naturally there would be no danger, after Zierharang evacuated from Xuanzhou, the speed of the march was very fast, without the slightest delay, the sergeant of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Xuanzhou was thinking of attacking Fuzhou, and the marching speed was not so fast.

The reason why Fan Wencheng took the initiative to ask for help, in fact, was paving a back road for himself, and he could be regarded as trying his best to redeem himself, he had already expected that the Great Qing Kingdom must have suffered a fiasco this time, to put it mildly, Daishan and Zhenghongqi are more auspicious and less, there has been such a big change, and after such a failure, Huang Taiji must be furious, Duoduo and Zierharang's identities are different, there is not necessarily any problem, at most it is to reprimand, but he is different, it is a Han Chinese, besides, this time the fiasco, More or less it has something to do with intelligence.

At such a critical moment, Fan Wencheng must make meritorious service and save the loss to the greatest extent, only in this way can it be possible to get the intercession of Zilharang and Duoduo when Huang Taiji surrenders, and he may also have the opportunity to continue to stabilize the impression in Huang Taiji's mind, at least he will not lose his life.

Fan Wencheng stabilized his emotions and prepared as quickly as possible, in fact, there was not much to prepare, the letter was not in his hands, all he needed was a map, and two horses, it was impossible to ride a carriage, but fortunately, he was riding a horse these days, and he had already adapted to it.
