Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Road Turns Back
Sun Chengzong did not know at this time that Wang Pu's Datong army had been completely annihilated, and Lu Xiangsheng and Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi, were also in danger in Julu. After tossing for a day, my body and bones are tired, after all, I am old, and I can't catch up with the day and night discussions. However, the recital to the emperor and all kinds of official documents to be passed on to the surrounding military governments had to be rushed out overnight. With a squeak, the subordinate tiptoed into the study, replaced the ginseng tea that had already been cold and had not had time to drink, and lifted the scissors to cut off the candle heart that had been beating the flames, and was about to push the door out, but another subordinate came in a hurry.
"Master, Liu Ge asks to see you!"
"Oh?"
Sun Chengzong put down the pen in his hand, not only did not stretch his brows, but tightened it tighter. Liu Yuliang came here overnight, there must be something important, in the past, he couldn't interfere too much in political and military affairs because of his identity, but now the emperor's grace is vast, and the burden is heavy, and he can't say that he has to pick up big and small things on one shoulder, and there is no reason to hide idlely.
"Please, come directly to the study, slow down, ......"
Sun Chengzong got up, he decided to go to the door of the mansion to greet the first assistant of the dynasty in person, and before he went out of the room, he heard a burst of laughter accompanied by hurried footsteps, and someone had already entered the study. It was Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the dynasty, and Liu Yuliang couldn't be blamed for ignoring etiquette and coming in, he was really anxious.
Although the Tartars have withdrawn, who knows if they will be able to kill them again? At that time, Li Xin couldn't hand over anyone, and the Tartar was even more angry. He never thought that Li Xin really captured the eldest son of the Nanu chieftain alive, which was simply unbelievable, but Dolgon was willing to be fooled, and he was too happy not to debunk it. The immediate priority now is how to respond to the crises that are likely to arise in the future.
He roared and roared straight to the study, and when he saw Sun Chengzong's official document full of cases, he couldn't help but be solemn, this person was not treated by the emperor and neglected for several years, and he should have been in his old age, but when his family and country were in danger, he not only destroyed his family and relieved his difficulties, but also did not complain, and he was really a model for hundreds of officials in the world. In the midst of the crisis, Liu Yuliang's perspective on the problem has undergone slight changes compared with what he used to think in the court.
"Ge Lao's body and bones are tight, Yu Liang is really in a hurry, this Tartar will have to re-encircle this Gaoyang in the next day, Ge Lao, as the governor of the three provinces, must not be in this crisis anymore, take this opportunity, and move to Shandong as soon as possible."
During the day, there were too many officials at all levels in the county, and this kind of hidden core matter was not easy to discuss in public, so it naturally dragged on until the evening. And he thought about it, Sun Chengzong, the governor of the three provinces, moved to Shandong is the most suitable place to go, because according to the current shape shì, Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian may not be Dolgon's opponents, as long as Dolgon defeats one of them, the Tartars will become a general trend, and they can even sweep Shandong, so Sun Chengzong's move to Shandong in advance is not only safe and reliable, but also precautionary. As for why Liu Yuliang didn't consider Shanxi, the terrain of Shanxi is complex and mountainous, and it is impossible for Tatars to cross the Taihang Mountain and work thanklessly to attack Shanxi.
There is a more important point, he, the inspector of the army, has to follow Sun Chengzong's big tree at all times, and if Sun Chengzong is safe, he will be safe, which is one of the reasons why he tried his best to persuade Sun Chengzong to leave.
"How can Father Gao Yang give up?"
Sun Chengzong's rhetorical question choked back all the words that Liu Yuliang had prepared, could he say give up? No! But in fact, giving up is the best way to go. After being stunned for a long time, he bit the crown of his teeth and let it out.
"As the governor of the three provinces, how can the people of a city and a place be worried? Which of the tens of millions of people in the three provinces does not need to worry? Please think carefully about which is more important! ”
The implication is that there are two evils, do you Sun Chengzong take the light, or take the heavy?
Sun Chengzong still categorically refused, and he didn't think that Gaoyang would definitely not be able to hold it, after Gaoyang lifted the siege, the information from the outside was able to enter the city, and he learned that Gaoqi's diving department was in Lixian County, which was an excellent containment of the Qing army of Dolgon, although the soldiers and civilians of Gaoyang City were extremely poor, but they still had the strength to fight. Lu Xiangsheng's department also contained the main force of the right-wing army in the south of Zhili, and if it dragged on like this, the soldiers and horses of King Qinwang of the world went north one after another, and it was absolutely inappropriate for the Qing army.
In the entire strategic situation, Gaoyang City has become a nail firmly nailed to Baoding Mansion, attracting Dolgon's Qing army here, and it is imperative to hold Gaoyang. Sun Chengzong and Liu Yuliang shared the same idea that Dolgon would go and return, although he did not understand why Dolgon would withdraw his troops so hastily.
At the same time, after Sun Chengzong learned the news that Gao Qiqian led the Guanning army in Lixian, he immediately sent a messenger to communicate with Gao Qiqian, hoping that he would lead the army to attack Hejian.
Sun Chengzong analyzed the shape of the eyes one by one with Liu Yuliang, and expounded the necessity of holding Gaoyang, as well as the many factors that made Gaoyang still ready for a battle. Liu Yuliang saw that Sun Chengzong still insisted, and sighed helplessly, "Okay, Yuliang will hand over this net worth and life to the elder pavilion." ”
After that, leave lonely.
In the early morning of the next day, bad news came, and the messenger sent to Lixian County was driven back by Gao Qiqian, and made it clear that Sun Chengzong was the governor of Shanxi, Zhili, and Shandong provinces, and could not control his Guanning army, and he had his strategy and plan, and asked him not to overstep his authority.
When Liu Yuliang learned of this, he took the case at that time, and he, the inspector of military intelligence, has the right to supervise it. Sun Chengzong disagreed, and Liu Yuliang used force.
"Liu Xiang, you and I are both ministers, what do you take to manage others?"
In fact, there is another point, Sun Chengzong is not easy to say, Gao Qiqian is the emperor's confidant, and the emperor's favor for him is no less than that of the first emperor Tianqi to Wei Zhongxian. Gao Qiqian didn't buy it, and they had no other way. Liu Yuliang is so smart, of course he understands this, and he was also depressed after he finished speaking.
There is no problem if Gao Qiqian does not attack Hejian, as long as he is still in Lixian County and can still contain Dolgon, that is his biggest role.
……
Outside Gaoyang City, 300 cavalry stopped to watch, the ruined city was already in front of them, and the people at the head sighed. This Gaoyang City, which he has poured his heart into and made his heart cold, enters or not. If he goes in or not, he will be deprived of his military power by those civilian officials. If he doesn't go in, what should he do to make a difference to the situation.
I hesitated, but I heard a shout.
"Don't enter! Don't enter! ”
Li Xin didn't look at it to know who this person was, this thing is really with you. After a while, the great monk Jiexiu ran out of breath and stopped in front of Li Xinjun, and he gasped for a while before he recovered, "But, I can be regarded as catching up with you." ”
Jiexiu clasped his palms together and said: "The donor must not enter this Gaoyang City, otherwise there will be a disaster of blood and light!" ”
Li Xinzheng was upset, and the big monk came out to make trouble again, and he really wanted to blast him away with a mess, but it was really not easy for him to keep up with this hundred-mile march.
Na Jiexiu saw that Li Xin was not a stubble, and said: "The donor's birth should be in the north, and it will be in the ......."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xin interrupted him angrily, "Great monk, why don't you find a temple, eat fasting and chant Buddha, what are you always dangling in front of me?" Roll on, let me see it again, it's not like this. ”
Jiexiu explained in a scripture: "Jiexiu is to enter the world to practice, and this time he went down the mountain to find the destined person." ”
Li Xin laughed angrily when he heard him say this.
"Go to find your destined person, why bother to always pester me?"
Unexpectedly, Jiexiu asked rhetorically: "How does the donor know that he is not the destined person?" ”
"First of all, I don't meet any of those points you said, neither a hero who is not born in the world, nor has the ability to save the people of Li from fire and water, do you think you are looking for the wrong person?"
Let Jiexiu stir up like this, Li Xin no longer bothered about whether to enter Gaoyang City, turned to Lu Jiu and said: "Send someone into the city and send a message to Sun Gebu, just say that it is inconvenient for me Li Xin to enter the city, and wait for his old man's instructions outside the city." ”
I turned my head and tried to blow away the Jiexiu, but the figure was gone.
……
Baiyangdian Anzhou City, a large number of cavalry stopped outside the city, Duoduo was angry, he could have captured that Li Xin, who expected to let the southern barbarians play, when the army roared by, and stepped on a lot of mines, a wave of evil fire had nowhere to vent.
Dorgon still had the same look of Tarzan that had collapsed to the point of not changing his face.
"Fifteenth brother, don't be impatient, don't forget, we are going to fight this time, and the plot is not here, but the high diving of Nali County!"
Duoduo regained his previous ruthless demeanor with hatred.
"Didn't the fourteenth brother deliberately let go of the southern barbarian slave this time?"
Hearing that he was being questioned, Dorgon smiled:
"How is it possible, even if Hauge is rescued, he will be a waste, do you think the Great Khan will let a person who has been a prisoner of the Ming army inherit the throne?"
Duoduo was stunned, but confused.
"It's better to save Hauge, why let him go?"
Dolgon had no choice but to admit that he had fallen for Li Xin's tricks. With that, Dorgon flipped on his horse.
"Let's go! Back in Gaoyang, the joy of those barbarian slaves should also come to an end. ”
5,000 cavalry marched south and slaughtered Gaoyang City.
At the same time, the main force of the Qing army led by Turge immediately moved south to Suning after crossing the Pigpen River in order to make a detour to Lixian. After tens of thousands of troops suddenly appeared under Suning City, Gao Qiqian heard that the siege of the city was unbelievable at first, and he was so frightened that he cried bitterly after going to the city to watch.
I regret it repeatedly.
"It's better to listen to Sun Chengzong's old man's construction and go to fight the Nalaoshizi River, so you don't have to be surrounded in the city."
Then he suddenly changed color, pointed at the soldiers and cursed.
"Do you all eat for nothing? The army didn't find it when it arrived in the city? ”
The officers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they slandered in their hearts, didn't you say that the old man said that Dolgon could rest easy when he withdrew his troops, so everyone relaxed their vigilance and narrowed the scope of the reconnaissance cavalry.
But I heard a member of the general say loudly: "Why should the father-in-law worry about ......?"
