Yulin, the Jiang family compound.

Guyuan General Soldier Jiang Rang and his brother, Yulin General Soldier Jiang Rang discussed things. There is also their third brother, Jiang Xuan, who served as a general in the Datong Army. This time, Cao Yue sent Jiang Xuan, a staff general of the 10th battalion, back to Yulin to ask Jiang Rang and Jiang Jian brothers for help, hoping that the staff general under his command, who was quite good, could move the two brothers who held heavy troops to lead the army to reinforce Datong.

This is also Cao Yue's most expected support army.

The Jiang family is the most powerful family in Yulin, and the second Jiang family has the idea. After receiving the urgent news of Jiang Xuan sent back by Cao Yue, Jiang Rang knew that the matter was important, and immediately sent a message to Jiang Ping, the second brother of Zhenshou Guyuan, and asked Jiang Ping to come back together to discuss the matter.

When he heard that Jiannu had dispatched nearly 200,000 troops and was besieging Datong led by Dolgon, Jiang Jian was taken aback and hurried back to Yulin. After listening to Jiang Xuan, Cao Yue won a big victory in the first battle and eliminated nearly 20,000 Jiannu, Jiang Jian and Jiang Rang changed their faces again.

"Cao Yue is really so powerful, he actually made Dolgon suffer?" Jiang Yan looked surprised and said: "It seems that Cao Yue really has two hits, and he can't be underestimated in the future." The men and horses under his command are so strong in combat, why do they need reinforcements? ”

Jiang Rang said: "Let the third brother tell me about the situation of the Datong Army, as well as the battle situation this time!"

"The Datong army is only 50,000 people, and Dolgon's men and horses have 1780,000, compared with Jiannu, the difference in strength is too far, Liu Zongmin and Li Yan's men and horses are going back, the Datong army is facing more than 300,000 enemies, Cao Zongbing is afraid that Datong will lose, so he asks for reinforcements everywhere!" After staying under Cao Yue for more than half a year, Jiang Xuan, as a general, is still quite familiar with the situation of the Datong Army, and he also knows the current situation in Datong.

Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Rang's intelligence work was not as good as Cao Yue's, and they didn't know the current enemy situation, and if it wasn't for Cao Yue's report, they wouldn't even know that Dolgon had led Jiannu south. The last time Cao Yue led his army to defeat Li Yan's subordinates, they only learned about it much later.

In this era of very backward information transmission, it is not surprising that such a situation occurs, after all, not everyone has the same consciousness as Cao Yue. Datong and Yulin, after all, are separated by a lot of distance, and there is no special communication, and it is not easy to get information.

"Big brother, second brother, General Cao is really similar to his father, leading the army has its own set, and the training is also different, especially the formation of several musket battalions, and the method of splitting shooting is adopted. It was the split shooting tactics of these musket battalions that made Jiannu suffer a big loss," Jiang Xuan was a little indignant, Cao Yue didn't let him serve as the general of the musket battalion, and when he talked to the two brothers about military affairs, he also expressed his emotions, "It's just that Cao Yue let his cronies serve as the general of the musket battalion and don't let others interfere!"

Jiang Rang and Jiang Yan glanced at each other, ignoring Jiang Xuan's later complaints. In their feelings, this is a very normal thing, anyone will hand over the most elite men and horses to their cronies to command, and Cao Yue has great trust in him to let Jiang Xuan be the general of the first battalion.

After listening to what Jiang Xuan said, Jiang Xuan's face was very complicated, and he lowered his voice and said: "Cao Yue led the army to break through Shengjing, which caused Jiannu to suffer great humiliation, and last time he almost wiped out Geng Zhongming's Han army under Datong City. This time, Dolgon led the army to attack Datong urgently, just to destroy Cao Yue's Datong army, in order to avenge the monstrous revenge and boost morale. Therefore, I think that the main place of Jiannu's attack this time is Datong, and the Jingshi will not touch it, let alone attack other places, and our Yulin and Guyuan are safe. However, the Liukou are not in the same mind, they are likely to want to take advantage of the fact that Jiannu and the Datong Army are fighting to the death, come over and pick a bargain, or they may break into other places. Therefore, the eldest brother and the younger brother think that there is no need for us to rescue Datong, otherwise our men and horses will suffer great losses, after all, Jiannu's combat power is far from us. But we can't sit idly by, the rogues want to take advantage of it, and we can't let them succeed. ”

"Second brother means that we will send troops to stop the rogues led by Liu Zongmin and Li Yan, and let Cao Yue and Jiannu fight to the death?"

"Yes, big brother!" Jiang Ji nodded at Jiang Rang, "Junior brother thinks that this is the best strategy." It's not that we don't agree to the rescue, we resist the attack of the rogues for Cao Yue, Cao Yue can't say anything about us, and the court can't blame us. ”

"But, eldest brother, second brother, what if Datong can't hold it and is captured by Jiannu? After all, the strength of the Datong army is almost too much compared with Jiannu, and Jiannu has several times more troops than us, and they may also have follow-up reinforcements. When they surround all four gates of the Datong army, then Datong will be isolated from the world!" Jiang Xuan, who is the general of the 10th Battalion of the Datong Army, thinks about the problem differently from his two elder brothers, and sees that the two elder brothers are unwilling to lead the army to aid Datong, and are only willing to lead the army south to block the Liukou, and can't help but be a little anxious.

"Third brother, don't go back to Datong again, go on an errand under the second brother!" Of course, Jiang Xuan knew Jiang Xuan's worries, "If the second brother is not bad, Datong is now surrounded by Jiannu Tuantuan, and even if you go back, you won't be able to enter the city." You serve under the second brother, and you also command a battalion, and we will fight the rogues!"

"Third brother, what your second brother said is right, don't go back to Datong, send someone back to send a letter, I believe Cao Yue will understand!" Jiang Rang also agreed to Jiang Xuan's suggestion and persuaded Jiang Xuan to come.

Jiang Xuan didn't expect his two elder brothers to ask him to do this, but he didn't react at once, and he was stunned.

But he also immediately rejected the meaning of the two brothers, and said very resolutely: "Two elder brothers, the younger brother is now a general of the Datong Army, Datong is in danger, as a senior general of the Datong Army, the younger brother has the responsibility to live and die with Datong." Therefore, the younger brother must immediately rush back to Datong and assist Cao Zongbing in defending Datong. The two eldest brothers were willing to lead the army to fight the Liukou together, which also happened to solve Cao Zongbing's worries. The younger brother immediately rushed back to Datong, presumably Dolgon's red-coated cannon had already arrived in Datong, and the fierce battle began again. ”

Jiang Xuan said, got up and saluted Jiang Rang and Jiang Xuan: "Big brother, second brother, forgive the little brother for not staying for a long time, so I'll leave!"

"Third child, what are you ......" Jiang Rang was a little annoyed, Jiang Xuan didn't listen to the advice of their two brothers, and insisted on going back to Datong. Jiang Xuan returned to Datong like this, if they let Datong fall, then Jiang Xuan would definitely be more than lucky, how could they let their younger brother take risks again.

"Big brother, let's let the third child go back, I believe that Cao Yue can hold Datong," Jiang Ting, who pondered for a while, finally dissuaded Jiang Rang and let Jiang Xuan return to Datong. "Third child, you go back and tell Cao Yue, just say that we two brothers will help him fight against Jiannu and Liukou together!"

"Yes, second brother, the eldest brother, the second brother, the younger brother will leave first!" Jiang Xuan was overjoyed.
