Wu Sangui is not a stupid person, he naturally understands the coexistence of risks and opportunities, as soon as he arrived, Li Yan asked himself about sending troops, that is, he was testing his loyalty. []

It stands to reason that he has just arrived with the army, and he should let the army rest for a few days, and it is more appropriate to hand over this attack to Zu Dashou, who is the head snake of Jinzhou, no matter how bad Li Yan himself has 20,000 elites, but Li Yan just handed over this matter to himself, and the taste contained in this is even more intriguing.

Wu Sangui didn't answer, he lowered his head and pondered, Li Yan didn't urge on the side, just smiled and looked at Wu Sangui silently, but remembered the words of Pang Gang before leaving Beijing.

"Aiqing is going to Liaodong here, when he solves the border troubles in Liaodong for my dynasty in one fell swoop, the ambition of the Tatar wolf son, for decades he has always slaughtered my Chinese people for no reason, and plundered the finances of my dynasty, and they are also nomadic people, and they have no culture, if they are allowed to enter the Central Plains, it will bring immeasurable disasters to our dynasty.

Aiqing should go with the ancestral family, the Wu family and other local forces in Liaodong to go with this major event, but because the Wu family and the ancestral family have been operating in Liaodong for hundreds of years and their influence is deep-rooted, Qing must be cautious when he goes. The rest of the Wu family are doing nothing, only Wu Xiang's son Wu Sangui is brave and strategic, Qing and others should be careful, as for Zu Dashou, this person is a veteran of the battlefield, and it should not be underestimated. Qing can adopt strategies such as differentiation and co-optation, and must not be in a hurry."

Li Yan carefully recalled what Pang Gang said to him before leaving, but his eyes were carefully staring at Wu Sangui, he wanted to see how this most outstanding general of the new generation of Liaodong forces, who was evaluated by Pang Gang as brave and strategic, but ambitious, responded to his orders.

Wu Sangui lowered his head and thought for a while, then finally raised his head and looked at Li Yan and said, "Since the governor has an order, he should obey it, but before that, the end will have something to ask for." ”

Li Yan said with interest: "You say! ”

Wu Sangui said: "Du Du Mingjian, although there are only 5,000 Tartars, but the Tartars are ferocious, if you want to escape sincerely, the foot soldiers can't stop it, and it is too difficult to annihilate the 5,000 elites of the Tartars with the 6,000 cavalry of the last general." The last general will recognize himself to defeat him. But if it is to be wiped out, it is not certain. ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Li Yan nodded slightly, and his evaluation of Wu Sangui was one level higher, his mind was still sober, and he was not arrogant, so he asked, "Then what is General Wu's opinion?" ”

Wu Sangui said: "The last general is ashamed, and the last general thinks that if you want to completely annihilate this enemy army." {}Unless the Overseer lends one of your cavalry to the last general. ”

Li Yan asked with interest: "Then how many cavalry do you want to "borrow"?" ”

Wu Sangui said without thinking: "Naturally, the more the merrier!" ”

When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but get angry, you think you are Han Xin, the more the merrier, and you are not afraid of being strangled to death. So he shook his head and said, "No, the number of cavalry brought by this officer is not large, but it cannot be handed over to you." Also, didn't this official deliver you more than 10,000 pairs of armor and many weapons a few days ago? Is it so timid to deal with a mere 5,000 Tartars? ”

Wu Sangui opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Li Yan. Li Yan said decisively: "Okay, don't fight the official's idea, if you don't think the troops are enough." You can borrow it from Zu Dashou, as for the official here, there is not a single soldier, if you can't do this thing, how can the official expect you to defend my Dahua territory? If you don't get out within half an hour, don't blame Ben for being ruthless! ”

"Yes, the last general will go and prepare immediately!"

Wu Sangui was speechless, as long as he retreated stupidly.

Looking at Wu Sangui's figure going out, Li Yan sighed lightly. He rubbed his temples with both hands, and it took a while for him to let go, and now he finally realized the cunning of these border generals. These people are purely a group of people who have good things to do, and when you encounter bad things, you have shipped tens of thousands of sets of armor and weapons. They swallowed it all without frowning, but once they were allowed to fight the Tartars, they were more slippery than one by one, and it was not very difficult to expect such people to destroy the Tartars. …,

said that Wu Sangui walked out of the door. More than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate on the street in front of him and the generals from Shanhaiguan saw the main general coming out, and immediately led the horses to meet them, and the deputy general with a long face immediately asked: "My lord, what did the inspector say, did he give us any benefits?" ”

Wu Sangui, who was on fire in his heart, finally found a punching bag, glared at him angrily and reprimanded: "Benefits, what more benefits do you want?" Do you want to send you one hundred and eighty girls, or give you a mountain of gold and silver, or make you a general? ”

The lieutenant general lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "The last general said, we have come all the way to Jinzhou, and the superintendent must show a little bit!" ”

"Fart!" Seeing the greedy faces of his subordinates, Wu Sangui couldn't help but scold, "We just came to Jinzhou, and we haven't made an inch, why should people tell us that he is our father or owes us?" I think about the benefits all day long, and I don't know how you lead the troops on weekdays. ”

The adjutant general who was scolded by Wu Sangui didn't even dare to raise his head, and when he saw his companion embarrassed, another general hurriedly said: "My lord, Lao Zhang, he is such a mouthless person, don't be like him, you can tell us, what did the Inspector tell you?" ”

After listening to the words of this general, Wu Sangui sighed and brought Li Yan's orders just now.

Everyone frowned, this task is indeed very troublesome, the difficulty of destroying the five thousand cavalry of the Tartars is not small, not to mention whether it can be completed, even if it can be completed, then what will Zu Dashou, the local generals of Jinzhou, think if they send troops like this? Originally, the Wu family and the ancestral family could wear the same pair of pants, but if this incident made Zu Dashou mistakenly think that the Wu family was going to leave them alone, it would inevitably cause a rift between the two sides who were originally like a family, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Wu Sangui then smiled bitterly: "Originally, the official wanted to borrow some cavalry from the superintendent, but the superintendent refused, and said that if you want to borrow troops, you can borrow them from your uncle, but your uncle's troops in Jinzhou are not much, can he lend them to us?" Looks like we'll have to do it ourselves! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui himself also felt very ashamed, his nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, but he still looked forward and backward against the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Tartars, no wonder the supervisor did not wait to see him.

The long-faced lieutenant hesitated for a moment and said, "Then should we inform Master Zu?" ”

Wu Sangui hesitated after thinking about it, but shook his head with a wry smile, "That's it, this is my uncle's territory, how can he not know about such a big thing as our sending troops?" If you deliberately tell him again, it will inevitably make the superintendent unhappy, so it's better not to say it. ”

When everyone heard Wu Sangui say this, they didn't say anything, and everyone got on their horses and galloped south

Half an hour later, the news of Wu Sangui's departure with the army reached the ears of Li Yan and Zu Dashou, Li Yan just smiled faintly and took care of military affairs by himself, while Zu Dashou and others gathered in the lobby of the General Military Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Zu Da Congee said a little angrily: "Uncle Chang is really not authentic, and the whole army will not know us when they attack, so now my second uncle doesn't know what's going on, which is too much to take our uncles seriously." ”

Zu Dale and the others did not say anything, but set their eyes on Zu Dashou, who was sitting on the main seat.

Zu Dashou held up the teacup with his left hand, and put his right hand on the coffee table and gently buckled it, making a "beep" sound, and said with a smile for a long time: "Actually, it's nothing, we don't accept it at night." Yesterday, thousands of Tartar cavalry were found more than 100 miles outside Jinzhou City, they were led by Prince Su Haoge, and they were coming to our Jinzhou. ”…,

Zu Da Congee was not happy, and shouted loudly: "But they should tell us what, they do this, it seems that we are like outsiders!" Don't forget, Jinzhou is our territory! ”

"Shut up!" As soon as Zu Da Congee finished speaking, he was drunk by Zu Dashou, and he said reproachfully: "What our territory!" Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The whole world is the emperor's, and if you don't hear it, it will be a lot of trouble! ”

"The lesson of the eldest brother is that the younger brother is wrong!"

was reprimanded by Zu Dashou, and Zu Dacongee obediently lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Seeing Zu Da Congee admit his mistake, Zu Dashou softened his tone and said: "Actually, the reason why the eldest uncle didn't say goodbye to us was because he was afraid that the superintendent would get upset when he found out, which is also human nature, so we don't have to be so harsh on him." It's just that I'm worried about whether the eldest uncle is that Hauge's opponent! ”

Speaking of this, Zu Dashou sighed lightly. Although there was nothing abnormal on the surface after Li Yan came to Jinzhou, Zu Dashou could clearly feel that the knight Li Yan still had a certain degree of wariness against himself as a Liaodong general, otherwise he would not have lived in such a big superintendent's mansion that he dedicated to him, but lived in a small courtyard close to the 20,000 troops he brought.

Such a situation was seen by Zu Dashou, if he was not in a hurry, it would be false, such as the foundation of the Dahua court in the Central Plains is becoming more and more stable, a few days ago came the news, the garrisons stationed in Jiangsu and Jiangxi have begun to move, ready to take action against Zhejiang and Fujian, if these two places are also recovered, then it is said that no one in the land of China can stop the unification of Dahua.

And a border general like himself, if he honestly obeys the orders of the imperial court, it is fine, if he does not obey the order, according to Pang Gang's temper, the generals of Liaodong, including himself, will not have a good end!
