Out of Fan Wencheng's military tent, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. When he was in Shengjing, he had heard the news that Mr. Fan was captured in Ping'an Road, but it was only under the insistent suppression of the regent, the king of Yu and others that this kind of remarks did not continue to ferment and spread.

But since the army left Shengjing, the army's doubts about Fan Wencheng have become stronger day by day, and now some people have named him behind his back to deceive the regent to cover up his guilt for being captured.

At first, Suppilon didn't believe this kind of statement, thinking that it was a rumor made by someone with ulterior motives, but as more and more people said it, he also became suspicious. It wasn't until the army entered Ping'an Road that it was overwhelming along the way, and almost no decent resistance was encountered, and the balance in the heart of Kupilon had tilted to the side of public opinion.

He just went to find Fan Wencheng, but he wanted to give himself another chance to believe in Fan Wencheng, but the fact was that Mr. Fan, who was extremely favored by the regent, didn't even say a word about it, but only said a few innocuous words.

In the midst of struggles and contradictions, Kubilong finally made up his mind, and now he finally seized an opportunity to go on the expedition, did he really want to tie up to Fan Wencheng's broken ship? If the cruel facts prove that the rumors are true, shouldn't he be convicted along with them?

Although Kubilong's background is extremely noble, and his maternal grandfather is Nurhachi, the founding ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, but within the imperial family that judges success or failure by military merits, just one mistake can make a person stumble for several years or even more than ten years.

It's time to think more about yourself, and Suppilon soon found the main general, Sakha Ran.

"When you came, the regent told me that your task is to protect Mr. Fan."

Sakha unceremoniously rejected Suppilon's request to go on the campaign as a former general.

He was very unconvinced and argued: "Does Prince Ying think that Curb is not competent? ”

Sakha was promoted to Prince Ying after Dolgon took power, he shook his head, the young man in front of him had followed the Huang Taiji soldiers into Songshan, and his performance was really remarkable, but he never had the opportunity to go out with the army later, and he was still just a Niu Lu Zhangjing. But the regent has a fate, and he doesn't want to get involved.

"Since Prince Ying thinks that Curb Pilon is not incompetent, then why not let Curb Pilon lead his division to kill the enemy? Even if you can't be the commander of the former army, you are willing to be a pawn! ”

Suppilon was so passionate that Sakha didn't know what to say for a while, so he didn't speak, and let Suppilon plead over and over again.

"It is said that the generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, doesn't Prince Ying even have this bit of courage? Fan Wencheng is timid and afraid, he hides behind people in everything, and he still needs someone to protect ......"

With the fermentation of emotions, Suppilon was a little unscrupulous, even if Sakha had a good temper, he didn't want people to say that he was a person who had no opinion on everything, especially Fan Wencheng, he didn't want to have anything to do with it.

In short, this person has become synonymous with the cowardly in the army, openly touting how powerful the muskets and artillery are, is it better than the bows and arrows and sabers of the Eight Banners warriors?

"Okay, this king will give you a thousand foot troops, a thousand horse troops, as long as you go deep into Gyeonggi Province to clear the scouts along the way. This king personally asks you for credit to the regent! ”

Hearing Saha's relief, Suppilon was overjoyed and happily slapped a thousand.

"If you can't complete the task assigned by Prince Ying, come and see you!"

……

On September 16, the Qing army penetrated deep into Pyongan Province, bypassing the capital of Pyongan Province and heading straight for Gyeonggi Province.

After Yao Qisheng learned the news, he came to Lin Yizhi, the commander of the new army stationed in Ping'an Road, to discuss, "I heard that the Qing army went to Hancheng, when should we start?" ”

Although Yao Qisheng was an envoy of the Ping'an Province and nominally managed the army and the people, in fact he could only manage the local armies of North Korea, which had very poor combat effectiveness and low morale, and it was acceptable to maintain law and order.

The New Army of the Three Guards stationed in Pyongan Province was not under the jurisdiction of the Disposal Envoy, but was directly under the command of the garrison battalion in Seoul. Therefore, Yao Qisheng can only consult with the commander Lin Yizhi for any major matters related to the use of troops.

Lin Yizhi asked Yao Qisheng to be restless, but Yao Qisheng was still not at ease, so he asked Lin Yizhi to give him a thorough explanation.

"The military gate has already been ordered, without him, just eight words, lure the enemy deep and cut off his back road."

Lin Yizhi couldn't stand Yao Qisheng's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and was defeated, so he had to tell the truth.

After hearing the words "lure the enemy deep and cut off his back road", Yao Qisheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "How, how, tell me in detail, don't sell it, it will make people's hearts itch!" ”

Lin Yizhi, as a rising star of the new army, is also famous for his talents, which is very different from the generals from the bottom in the past. The generals from the bottom looked down on the local civil officials, and there were very few who could get along with them, and even if they could, the local officials were very weak and obeyed the words of the garrison generals. Lin Yizhi is different, he has a good impression of Yao Qisheng, who is also a scholar, and this person wants to be humorous, so they get along quite well.

This is also the reason why Cheng Mingjiu fully considered each person's personality before he sent the two of them to Ping'an Dao together.

"In three days, I will personally send troops to cut off the rear route of the Qing army. At that time, the defense of Ping'an City will depend on Brother Yao and the Self-Defense Army. ”

Yao Qisheng patted his chest and promised, "There is no problem with the city defense, Brother Lin is going to go, if you want to recognize the important things, just look for me Yao someone!" "He has been in the auxiliary camp for a long time, and he has unconsciously become a little rude.

Lin Yizhi really needs Yao Qisheng's cooperation.

……

Sakha sent a total of three pioneers, and the southern road was in charge of the southern road, and after crossing the Qingchuan River, there was the Huanghae Road in front of it. He immediately sent his own soldier Pegasus to report back to Prince Ying Sahaxuan, and everything went on as usual, and then continued the march.

When passing by Ping'an City, he couldn't help but go around and see the low walls of Ping'an City, so he thought about why not take down the capital of Ping'an Road.

However, he only had 2,000 men under his command, a thousand foot soldiers, and a thousand cavalry, which was absolutely not enough to attack the city, but it was difficult to suppress Billon. There is also a strategy called the soldiers who surrender without a fight, so they pretend to be a large army that is about to arrive, and the soldiers are under the city, and then send people to pass the war book to intimidate the defenders in the city, if they do not surrender immediately, they will be killed after the city is broken!

He waited until it was dark, and there was no one in Ping'an City, and there was no news of anyone who entered the city to deliver the message. After a night of waiting, after dawn, Suppilon was shocked to find that Ping'an City had long since become an empty city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city had disappeared.

Stepping on the city wall and looking at the empty city below, a sense of loss arose, and after a while, he laughed twice.

"The defenders were frightened, abandoned the city and fled, and sent good news to Prince Ying, and the road to peace has been down!"

The 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers who followed Curb Pilon cheered in unison!

With only 2,000 people, he captured the government of Pyongan Province in Korea, which was the first achievement since entering the DPRK! The soldiers of the Eight Banners all praised the determination and wisdom of the Suppression, and at the same time arranged the incompetence of the other two vanguard generals.

Sakha didn't expect that the Korean garrison would be so unbearable, and the legendary Ming army would flee without a fight. In fact, in Sakha's impression, the vast majority of the Ming army behaved badly, and it was not uncommon for them to flee without a fight or even surrender. It is rare to encounter the kind of Ming army that is very brave and resists to the end.

It seems that he was still too careful. Sakha Lin no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the Chinese army, with nearly 50,000 rear troops, to advance to Ping'an Province.

The capital city of Pyongan Province is no better than a small county town of the Qing Dynasty, and there are not many soldiers hidden in it, so Sakha is not prepared to delay in these places, and plans to conquer the capital of Seoul and take Seoul like he did before to conquer Korea, and there is nothing to worry about other places.

Who would have thought that the performance of Suppilon was unexpected, and he would take Ping'an City with only 2,000 people.

Sakha led the Chinese army to rest only a short time outside the city of Ping'an, and then put on a posture to prepare to force a force across the Qingchuan River and head for the Yellow Sea Road.

It was late autumn, and the water volume of the Qingchuan River dropped sharply, and the river surface was usually dozens of steps wide, but now there are only a dozen steps left. Usually the water is too deep, but now it is less than one person high. There is shallow water, which is even just below the waist of a person.

Saving the time to build a pontoon bridge, the 50,000 troops crossed the Qingchuan River in less than half a day. The subordinate of the Suppression Pilon was temporarily entrusted by Sakha to garrison the city of Ping'an, and no longer served as the vanguard army.

He also wanted to try to follow Sakha to Seoul, but Sakha never gave him a chance, but instead threw Fan Wencheng to Ping'an City.

Sakha was also reluctant to bring Fan Wencheng, who looked like a prisoner, and because of the orders of the regent and the king of Yu, he could only pinch his nose to work with him. When the army crossed the river, it happened that Fan Wencheng contracted a wind chill emergency, so he happened to stay behind.

After a long circle, Suppilon sadly found himself back to square one. In the end, he still has to be responsible for protecting Suppilon, but those who are content are always happy, and with the first merit of conquering the road of peace, it is enough.

Fan Wencheng had a high fever and had already begun to talk nonsense. When he went to visit, he kept holding on to his hand, and he only said one sentence in his mouth.

"Can't cross the river, can't cross the river, the Ming army has opened its pockets and waits for that ......"

Curb Bilong suddenly felt disappointed, Fan Wen** was stunned, and the sick even talked nonsense for the Ming army and destroyed the prestige of the Eight Banners army.

From then on, for several days, Kupilon no longer visited Fan Wencheng, but instead swept the countryside near Ping'an City with a thousand cavalry. But after sweeping around, he was disappointed to find that the people in the vicinity had gone nowhere, and the looted materials were pitiful.

It was only at this time that he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, and he only looked forward to the good news of Prince Ying's capture of Seoul every day!
