Chapter 436: Da Ling River is lost

Outside the Guan, Liaoxi.

The thick fog was thick, and the sound of horse bells could be heard in the distance, getting closer and closer.

On the city of Daling River, which stood on the west bank of the Daling River, two soldiers who were standing guard in the enemy tower heard the bell and hurriedly cheered up.

"Do you hear that?" One stood up and leaned over the window of the enemy building to look out, but the fog was too thick to see anything.

Another person also came to the window, "It seems to be a horse bell, and it is estimated that it is Wu Jiajun again." ”

"I really don't understand these guys, they come to ask for food every once in a while, and no one pays attention to them every time they come, and they still come again and again, and they come so early today, really."

His companion rubbed his hands and answered, "Yes, the imperial court has already abolished the two towns of Jinzhou and Guangning, but why do you say that they still refuse to dissolve like this." It's not easy to say, the court cut off their food and their salaries, they actually lasted a winter, and they came so early today, it is estimated that they will definitely not be able to resist. ”

"Who is to blame, Wu Sangui really thinks that he is the surname of the country. The surname of the country is the king of Liaodong, who was personally crowned by the first emperor, and the title was won with a knife and a shot based on his true ability, which was obtained by killing the Tartar emperor and besieging the Tartar capital. But why does Wu Sangui want to be the king of Liaoxi, he just relied on the reputation of the generals of the two Wu Zu families, and the children of their Wu Zu families, he became a commander at a young age, but in addition to attacking the Tartars and beheading thousands of heads, has he ever won any battles? The battle of Yizhou was defeated and returned, and there was a great defeat of Songjin after the imperial court, otherwise, the county king had already broken through Shengjing at that time. ”

The soldier said politely.

"But no matter what, Wu Sangui is still very prestigious in Liaoxi, and he has 100,000 soldiers and horses in the two towns under his command. Now he is on a par with the imperial court, refusing to listen to the transfer to Beijing, refusing to hand over the merger of the two towns, and he doesn't know what the result will be. I guess that in the end, the imperial court will definitely make some concessions, at least the two towns will always keep one town. ”

When they talked. The horse bell was getting closer and closer, and a horse team finally broke through the fog and appeared under the city of Dalinghe.

At the beginning, the imperial court cut and merged Jinzhou Town, and divided the defense area of Jinzhou Town into two, the west of the Daling River was included in Ningyuan Town, and the east was divided into Guangning Town. Later, Zu Dashou refused to obey the order, Qin Liangyu personally led the troops to take over the defense area, Zu Dashou and Qin Liangyu confronted each other for a few days, and finally although he refused to obey the order to cut down the troops and horses, he still led the troops to withdraw from Jinzhou. Retreated into the town of Wu Sangui Guangning east of the Daling River.

Since then, Ningyuan Town has also taken over the defense area of the original Jinzhou Town, and controlled the castles such as Jinzhou, Yizhou and Dalinghe City in the area of the Great and Small Ling River.

Later, the imperial court ordered the abolition of Guangning Town, but Wu Sangui refused to accept it, and provoked a border provocation, trying to kidnap the imperial court. However, in the end, neither side of the Ming and Qing dynasties wanted to go to war, and in the end, Wu Sangui was caught in the middle and rode a tiger. But from then on, although the imperial court cut off Guangning's food and wages, Wu Sangui also effectively controlled the area east of the Daling River.

Until now. The town of Quang Ninh is in a peculiar state, still waving the banner of the Ming army, but it does not listen to the orders of the imperial court. In addition to cutting off their food and wages, the imperial court did not take follow-up actions. Seems powerless to control.

In this peculiar situation, Qin Liangyu stepped down, and Zuo Liangyu came with 10,000 Henan soldiers to take over the post of Guanwai Admiral and Ningyuan's chief military officer.

Coming outside the customs was not Zuo Liangyu's choice. When he got to the gate. only to find out that the situation was far worse than he expected.

Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou controlled the area east of the Daling River, and they did not listen to the tune or the propaganda at all, but they had a crowd of 100,000. And he's the admiral outside the gates. Although nominally he was the head of the military generals of the entire Guanwai Military Region, in fact he could only control the 10,000 people he brought.

Nominally, there are now only two towns left in the Guanwai Military Region, Ningyuan Town and Lushun Town. But in fact, Zhenjiang Town was only abolished, and Lushun Town actually had 60,000 troops. And the situation in Ningyuan Town was also more complicated than he expected, when Qin Liangyu was appointed as the governor of Guanwai, Ningyuan Town under his command was actually basically the soldiers and horses of the Chu army.

There are 30,000 people in the entire Ningyuan Town, and 20,000 are Chu troops. When Qin Liangyu stepped down, he dismissed many Sichuan soldiers and returned to his hometown, and the rest were Chu troops. And behind Ning Yuan, the people stationed at Shanhaiguan had already been replaced by the Chu army.

After several rounds of reorganization of the Beijing army, it was the garrison army that controlled the periphery of Gyeonggi such as Changping Shanhaiguan, and the Shanhaiguan garrison was subordinate to the garrison army, but it was a pure Chu army. plus the Beiyang Naval Division stationed on Juehua Island, Qinhuangdao and other places.

In the entire Guanwai, the Chu army had 100,000 people on land and water, and Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou also had 100,000 Liao soldiers, but he, the new governor of Guanwai, only had actual control over 10,000 people.

With 10,000 horses, but sandwiched between the 200,000 Chu army and the Liao army, all of whom were subordinates who did not regard him as their boss, Zuo Liangyu felt very regretful that he came to Guanwai.

After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't move the Chu army, the Chu army was not only strong, but Liu Jun also controlled the center and fought against Liu Jun, so Liu Jun could use the orders of the court to make him have no power to resist at any time. In the end, he felt that the only thing that could change the current situation was to find a way to drive Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou back to Jingshi and annex his subordinates.

He sent people to Quang Ninh several times to meet Wu Sangui and asked Wu Sangui to accept the orders of the imperial court and hand over the troops. It's a pity that Wu Sangui will make a request every time, the court will make up the arrears, and then give the severance pay, so that he can rest assured that he can dismiss his subordinates and obey the order to enter Beijing.

But Zuo Liangyu himself relied on the salary of the imperial court, how could he have the ability to give Wu Sangui severance pay.

Things just froze.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't stay in the end, so he simply lost all of Ning Yuan's original defense area to his deputy commander-in-chief, and let this general of the Chu army, Liu Jun's henchman, take Ning Yuan's Chu army to garrison the original defense area. He took his 10,000 horses and took over the defense areas of Jinzhou, Yizhou, and Dalinghe City.

Although there is only half of Jinzhou Town, at least the Chu army did not intervene again.

The Yu army guarding Dalinghe City shouted to the horse team below in a Henan tone, "What are you doing!" ”

"Hey, brother, we are under Wu Shuai, and the people who come and go are old acquaintances, and we still see each other like this. No, the army has run out of food, and Wu Shuai asked my brother and me to come over and borrow food from Zuo Shuai. ”

The defenders of the city laughed, "What's the matter, the beef jerky of Mongolian tartars is not delicious?" ”

"The bark is gone, so how can there be beef jerky to eat. Brother, make it easy for me, let me see Zuo Shuai as soon as possible. ”

"Wait."

The Henan defenders at the head of the city shouted, and after a while, the defenders had already worked hard to remove the latch on the city gate, and the heavy city gate was slowly pushed open.

The horse team approached.

The defending officer standing by the door smiled at the Liao soldiers who took the lead, as usual, every time the Liao soldiers came to borrow food, although they couldn't borrow it every time, they had to give them some money every time they entered the city. The money is not much, only ten silver dollars, but it is enough for their team to eat a table of good wine and food.

Liao Bing's hand touched his waist.

But in the end, he didn't touch the money bag at his waist, but held the handle of the knife.

The cold light flashed, the sharp blade came out of the sheath, and the unprepared Yu army was cut down.

Those Yu troops who stood at the gate of the city and waited for the benefits were all stunned.

Before they could react, the Liao army had already drawn their swords one after another and pounced on them. They quickly cut down the bewildered Yu guards at the gate, and then more Liao troops rushed out of the fog, and they rode across the drawbridge, through the doorway, and into the city.

At the head of the city, the two Yu soldiers sat down again at this time.

The spear leaning against the wall suddenly fell to the ground, and the two of them noticed that the enemy tower under their feet was trembling slightly.

At the same time, a low, eerie sound came.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both thought of something, and they quickly got up from the ground, ran to the window, and looked out.

In the thick fog outside the city, countless cavalry were rushing out of it.

Exclamations sounded from the city outside the enemy tower here, "The Liao army has rebelled!" ”

"Enemy attack!"

Alarm bells are ringing.

The sound of the trumpet is wafting.

The two of them hurriedly held the spear, and one of them said with trembling lips, "Dog day Wu Sangui is the opposite."

At the city gate, the Liao army has already controlled the city gate, and the Liao cavalry of the brigade is galloping into the city, and many soldiers rush into the city and begin to rush along the horse road to the city.

The Yu army, which was taken by surprise, began to take up arms to fight back, but their counterattack was pale and weak. The Liao army continued to rush out of the fog, rushed into the city, and killed the city.

A fire broke out in the city.

Everywhere there were cries of panic and the cries of the people.

When Zuo Liangyu of Jinzhou received the news of Wu Sanguizu's rebellion and the loss of Dalinghe, Liu Jun, who was far away in Beijing, also immediately received an urgent report from the intelligence officers outside the Chu army.

Wu Sangui rebelled and raided and captured Dalinghe City.

The intelligence officers in Liaoxi not only sent back the news of Wu Sangui's rebellion as soon as possible, but even sent back more detailed information. Wu Sangui not only reversed, but he also took up the name of the Qing monarch and borrowed troops from the Qing army.

After receiving this news, Liu Jun was not the slightest surprised.

In fact, the situation outside the border has always been on his radar. He clearly controls every step of the change in the situation in western Liaoning. When Wu Sangui refused to enter Beijing and refused to merge Jinzhou and Guangning towns, he expected that he might come to this point.

However, when Wu Sangui really went to the point of openly raising troops, and even borrowed troops from the Qing court, and raised the banner of the Qing monarch's side, Liu Jun really admired his decisiveness.

Originally, Liu Jun was not afraid of Wu Sangui's rebellion, anyway, Guanwai had become a red land in recent years, especially after the last defeat of Songjin, the people in western Liaoning added up to less than one million, and they were all concentrated in the defense area of Ningyuan.

Wu Sangui is reversed, even if he occupies Jinzhou in Guangning, it is not a big deal. Even from a military point of view, it is actually beneficial for this time bomb to be detonated earlier, so that it will be more controllable.

However, Wu Sangui pulled the Qing army in, so it would have a relatively big impact on the situation outside the entire Guanwai. Liu Jun is not afraid of war, and he is even willing that the Qing army can't help but send troops at this time.

It's just that now that the epidemic is raging in various places, at this time, Wu Sangui joined forces with the Qing army to send troops, but it was even more chaotic. (To be continued.) )
