The reason why Su Tiancheng made such an arrangement was also a little helpless.

In the Qing Dynasty in history, the status of the pro-soldiers is very special, very glorious, the treatment is very high, but the requirements are also very harsh, just say that the pro-soldiers around Azig, these pro-soldiers are like Azig's family, the treatment is very high on weekdays, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary sergeants, just say that some officers in the Eight Banners do not dare to offend these pro-soldiers easily, but their responsibilities are also significant, if there is a problem with the boss, they will not survive, either desperately to protect the boss, or commit suicide to follow the boss.

Therefore, if you want to capture Azig alive, you can imagine the difficulty.

Through the captured Tartar officers, Su Tiancheng already knew that Azig had two thousand pro-soldiers around him, which was a fearful number, to know that these two thousand pro-soldiers were not afraid of death, if there was a problem with Azig, they would not survive, and everything would become empty, in this case, it was not desperate to protect Azig.

After capturing Aduoga alive, Su Tiancheng saw with his own eyes that the personal soldiers around Aduoga committed suicide.

In his heart, Su Tiancheng didn't want to make such an arrangement, the pro-soldier battalion and the scout battalion were also the elite of the Jiangning battalion, with one enemy and ten, with the courage of ten thousand people, when they exterminated the Tartars who rushed to Fangshan County, they suffered heavy losses, and the two battalions lost more than 800 soldiers, and Su Tiancheng's heart was dripping blood.

But he had to make such an arrangement, all because of the letter written by Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen has a lot of praise and greetings in the letter, these contents, Su Tiancheng is not interested, the key is that Wang Chengen specifically mentioned in the back, the allusion of catching the thief and capturing the king first, Su Tiancheng understood the meaning.

Wang Chengen wrote this letter. It is definitely not his own meaning, he Su Tiancheng is also majestic now, he is one of the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Chengen will not do anything behind Zhu Youzhen's back, besides, Wang Chengen's heart. It's all for Zhu Youzhen, so this is actually what Zhu Youzhen means.

In this case, of course Su Tiancheng would not be careless.

If you want to say that you can capture Azig alive, it is also worth it, at least 80,000 Tartars have lost their commander, and the morale of the army must be weak, not to mention that they can continue to plunder in the pass and be able to escape from the Guan. It's not easy.

Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng had no choice but to arrange Liu Tiehan to complete this arduous task.

Liu Tiehan is a solid eye, once he accepts the task, he doesn't think about anything, he thinks about completing the task in his head, if he can't complete it, he won't eat or sleep well. I can't recover for a long time.

If Liu Tiehan can't complete the task, it will be in vain to hand it over to the rest.

Wang Dazhi came in with a small man.

I saw someone coming. Su Tiancheng stood up, this little guy was a subordinate in his capital mansion, and he followed the housekeeper all the time, this time, Su Tiancheng led the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion. When I came to the capital, I passed by the door of the house twice, but I didn't go in.

Jiangning Camp has won two great victories, and it has been spread all over the capital, to say that Zhu Xianxin and others do not know the way. That's impossible, but Su Tiancheng doesn't have time to go home for the time being, and the heavy military affairs weigh him down, unless he defeats the 80,000 Tartars led by Azig and completely drives the Tartars out of the pass, he can go home to see.

"Sir, the younger one has brought a letter from Madame."

"Oh, Madame is alright, everything is all right at home."

"Madame is very good, but I'm worried about the master, the second Niangniang, the third Niangniang, the fourth Niangniang are all good, the third Niangniang and the fourth Niangniang are about to reach the time, Madame said, if the lord is busy with business, he must go home to see."

"Mingjie and Mingyue are all right."

"The young master and the young lady are very good, but they are clamoring to see their father, so the lady said that the master will go back to the house to see when he is free."

"It's good, I know it, you rushed to Fangshan County, it's hard, go to eat, wash up well, and when you go back, tell your wife and a few ladies that you will definitely go back after I'm done."

The little guy was taken to dinner, Su Tiancheng motioned to Wang Dazhi, took out a gold ingot, a full ten taels, and rewarded the little guy.

Of course, Wang Dazhi knew the importance of the road, and after leaving the city, he arranged two personal soldiers, and after the little guy had dinner, he escorted the little guy back to the capital, anyway, it was not far, two or three hours would be enough, and the army led by Azig was about to come to Fangshan County, and this was not a place to stay for a long time.

Su Tiancheng opened the letter.

Zhu Xianxin's delicate handwriting came into his eyelids, and if he wanted to say that Zhu Xianxin's handwriting was better than Su Tiancheng's.

Zhu Xianxin mainly told Su Tiancheng to pay attention to his body, the prestige of the Jiangning camp has spread in the capital, Su Tiancheng has been regarded as a great hero, and the common people even think that if the Tartar meets Su Tiancheng, he will be defeated without a fight.

Zhu Xianxin didn't say much about family affairs, mainly talking about Su Mingjie and Su Mingyue, the personalities of the two children were a little reversed, Su Mingjie was quiet, Su Mingyue was lively, and the roles of boys and children seemed to be reversed.

Looking at Zhu Xianxin's letter, a smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

For such a long time, he is almost unfamiliar with such letters between husband and wife, hundreds of years later, there is no such thing as writing letters, mobile phones and computers are flooding the world, and they can greet each other at any time, even if they are far away, they can also contact each other immediately, but this era is not good, and they must rely on letters to transmit information.

Su Tiancheng thought of it the most, or to change history and make the country strong, and he did care a lot less about things at home, which was a matter of no way, and he couldn't have both, so he felt guilty about his family.

After reading the letter, Su Tiancheng quickly replied.

The little guy has already eaten and is still waiting for a reply.

Half an hour later, the little servant left Fangshan County and returned to the capital with Su Tiancheng's reply letter and an ingot of gold, escorted by two personal soldiers.

After Wang Dazhi came in, Su Tiancheng suddenly thought of something.

"Daji, sit down, I have something to say."

Wang Dazhi stood opposite Su Tiancheng and did not sit down.

"Dazhi, you have been with me for so long, we have been together for more time than anyone else, these years, I have always advised you to get married, you always refuse, I know that you are afraid of starting a family, there is not much time to be by my side, today I want to make it clear, you must start a family, after this battle, I will personally officiate the wedding for you, in the reply letter to Mrs., I have already talked about this matter, let Mrs. among the maids, carefully select a girl for you, unfilial piety has three queens, your mother is in the capital, It's very lonely, she has always wanted you to get married, can you not be married for me, if so, I am embarrassed to see your mother. ”

Seeing that Wang Dazhi still wanted to speak, Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop it.

"It's an order, you have to start a family, or don't stay with me."

As soon as Su Tiancheng's words fell, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Bi Maokang, Qu Qingze, Xiong Zijian and others hurriedly came in.

Su Tiancheng knew that Azig's army was not far from Fangshan County.

Sure enough, Qu Qingze spoke.

"My lord, the Tartars led by Azig are still thirty miles away from Fangshan County, and the scouts reported that Azig had no intention of setting up camp, and seemed to be thinking of attacking directly."

A sneer appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"Hong Jianjun, is everything ready?"

"Everything is ready, just wait for the order of the adults."

"Okay, tell all the brethren to get ready, Master Bi, I emphasize again, the role of the artillery battalion is very important, don't feel sorry for the shells, don't be afraid of the artillery scrapped, hit hard, so that the Tartars can't find the south, south, west, and north."

Everyone went out, leaving Su Tiancheng alone in the house, which is also the rule of the Jiangning camp, before each battle, Su Tiancheng always has to stay alone for a while.

Xu Er came in.

Su Tiancheng, who was pondering, was about to get angry, when he turned his head and saw that it was Xu Eryi, and hurriedly spoke.

"Teacher, the big war is coming, it is dangerous here, I will send a sergeant to protect your safety."

"Kun Yuan, what are you talking about, I am here to supervise the battle on behalf of the imperial court, where is there a reason to stay behind and hide, I am here to tell you, I want to follow out of the city and watch the soldiers kill the enemy with my own eyes."

"Teacher, this is not good, it is very dangerous."

"Aren't you dangerous, Kun Yuan, to be honest, your current status is much more important than me, the Ming Dynasty can't do without you, you can't do without the Jiangning Battalion, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers all know that you are the soul of the Jiangning Battalion, the Jiangning Battalion can't live without you, even you are in battle and personally commanded, I, the old guy, are hiding behind, where do you put my face."

Su Tiancheng blinked, not knowing what to say.

Su Tiancheng and Xu Eryi walked out of the house.

"Commander Sun, I'll give you a mission."

Sun Yuankun hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lord Xu is on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court, who came to supervise the war, you have to follow to the front line, and watch the brothers kill the Tartars with your own eyes, this is the glory of the brothers, Lord Xu's safety will be handed over to you, there can be no problems, you have to follow Lord Xu every step of the way, understand."

Sun Yuankun clasped his fists and saluted, didn't say anything, and stood beside Xu Eryi.

Looking at the many waiting officers, Su Tiancheng slowly spoke.

"Brothers, the Jiangning battalion and the Datong border army are facing a vicious battle, I don't want to say more, it has no effect to say more, the specific deployment, the brothers have understood, and then we have to behave well, we must persevere, fight hard, completely defeat the Tartars, and drive them out, the officers must take the lead, they must charge ahead, and endure hardships in the front, only in this way can we maximize the morale of the soldiers, one general is incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, and the final result depends on your performance."
