3-29 Flickering
The main generals of the Xuzhou army all collapsed on the Yin'an Palace, and no one could command the battle, and now the Qing army took this opportunity to sneak attack the granary of Tengxian County, and attacked Yanzhou and the East and West Camps on a large scale, attacking from all sides, which was obviously a well-planned conspiracy.
Yuan Chonghuan was shocked: "Teng County still has 17,000 soldiers who are good at fighting, how can they fall into the enemy so quickly?" Wu Sangui replied: "According to the person who reported the letter, there were only 2,000 weak soldiers in Teng County, and the rest were taken away by Miao Kejian. ”
Yuan Chonghuan turned to Cui Chengxiu and said angrily: "It's a good thing for you again, you mobilized the army to leave your post without permission, presumably in order to deal with me, it's good now, the Zhejiang army is infantry, and you can only let the Qing army's iron cavalry rage in the wild, presumably these horses have been slaughtered, Teng County has also fallen into the hands of the enemy, our generals are poisoned, can't get on the horse, can't wield a knife, this is all thanks to you, traitorous villain!" Breaking your body to pieces is not enough to punish you for your heinous crimes! ”
The 15,000 Zhejiang troops who were in the field and were ready to enter the city to consolidate their power after killing Yuan Chonghuan seemed to have been dumpled by the Qing soldiers, Teng County was also lost, and the grain and grass were burned, and Dolgon didn't even wait for himself to send Yuan Chonghuan's head out to start attacking the city, didn't they care about Fan Wencheng's life? Tartars are cunning and treacherous! A cold sweat rolled down Cui Chengxiu's pale face, and he turned to Fan Wencheng and asked in a hoarse voice, "Fan Wencheng, how did you assure this official?" Why did you kill my Zhejiang army, burn my grain and grass, and attack Yanzhou against the agreement! You said! You said! ”
Fan Wencheng's face was as usual, when Liu Ziguang broke out, he knew that things had changed, and promptly sent the military aircraft agents around him, and sent a signal to the outside of the city in accordance with the pre-agreed method, Dolgon immediately launched a full-line attack after receiving the news, as for the Zhejiang army and Teng County in the field, it had been solved as early as yesterday, and this move to divert the tiger from the mountain was only the first plan in Fan Wencheng's serial plan.
The second plan is to kill people with a knife, and kill the henchman Yuan Chonghuan by the hand of Cui Chengxiu, who is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, although this plan did not achieve the most ideal effect, but it is not a complete failure, at least the generals of the Ming Dynasty have been relieved of their combat effectiveness, and it is difficult for the troops who have lost their command to exert their ability in peacetime, and this battle has at least half of the chance of victory. Now it is necessary to implement the third plan of the preparatory plan, that is, "anti-customer-oriented".
Fan Wencheng was not timid at all, the more fierce the Qing army outside the city, the more his life was safe, at this moment he shook his braids in a chic manner, and said to Cui Chengxiu confidently: "Fan Mou, as the prince and master of the Qing Dynasty, how can he deceive you, Prince Rui attacked the city to save you and me, and now that the Ming army is gone, Lord Cui still persuades them to surrender. These words were not only addressed to Cui Chengxiu, but also to the generals of the Xuzhou Army.
Yuan Chonghuan laughed angrily: "This is Lord Fan, the first Hanchen of the Tartars, I heard that you are still a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and your ancestral home is also from Shandong, why is Fan Gong innocent?" Shandong father He Gu, actually raised a hardcore traitor like you, recognized the thief as his father, and aided the abuse, are you still a Han man? ”
Fan Wencheng sneered: "Strictly speaking, Fan is no longer a Han person, I have already entered the flag register, but I always remember the fathers and villagers in Shandong and even the world, the Ming court is mediocre, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the taxes are harsh, the smoke is everywhere, the people are not happy, and the people live a miserable life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, it is my emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who resolutely led the troops into the customs and rescued the people from fire and water, so that the people of the north can live a stable and peaceful life for ten years, and have enough food and clothing. Only then did he raise troops to the south to rescue the remnants of the people under the tyrannical rule, and return the 90,000 miles of rivers and mountains in China to a bright and peaceful world. What a boldness, what a heart! ”
Fan Wencheng's impassioned words aroused a strong resonance with Liu Ziguang, and he vomited out the nine-turn large intestine he had just eaten.
"Old dog! The conferment is imminent, and you are still here to make a big fuss. Eat me a punch! Liu Ziguang hit Fan Wencheng's stomach with a hard hook punch, beating him so hard that he vomited out bitter bile, the severe pain contracted his body, curled up and squatted on the ground with his stomach covered, Liu Ziguang was not happy, grabbed Fan Wencheng's white pigtail, and dragged him up from the ground, "I'll pull you up to the city and slaughter you in front of your master." Liu Ziguang threatened viciously.
Fan Wencheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the bitter bile on his mouth, and said calmly: "You wait for the dog slaughterer, you know that Fan Mou is noble, and for the unification of the Qing Dynasty and the peace of the world, Fan Mou died without regrets, but I want to thank you for fulfilling Fan's first life, the emperor will remember me, Prince Rui will remember me, the history books of the Qing Dynasty will remember me, and you" Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng laughed fiercely, "I will definitely be cut by Prince Rui with a thousand knives, and there is no place to bury my death, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people in poor Yanzhou will also be buried with you." ”
"I'm a college student in the new era, but it's okay to be a dog butcher once in a while, and I specialize in slaughtering traitors and lackeys like you!" Liu Ziguang pumped over with a few big mouths, beating Fan Wencheng to a mouth full of blood.
"Brother Elemental, Fan Wencheng can't be killed, if you kill him, you won't have a shield, it's better to put him on the city to force Dolgon to retreat, old brother, I was bewitched by this traitor, he said before that as long as you kill you, you will retreat to the north of the Yellow River, and I also made this decision for the sake of the court and the people, I hope you will release the old brother on the old friend for many years, and after returning to Beijing, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the nine thousand years old, the soldier of the military department, no, the old brother's Shangshu seat must be given to you." Cui Chengxiu was anxious, if he was escorted into Beijing, he would not be afraid, there were nine thousand years old covering him, but now Yanzhou is in danger, the Tartar soldiers do not recognize the six relatives, and the jade is burned, and the millions of family assets in the capital, and the concubines in more than a dozen rooms will never be seen again.
There was a shouting of killing from outside, it was the Qing army attacking the city, and then the roar of the steam crossbow Katyusha, a hundred carts of ordnance brought by Liu Ziguang came in handy, and the defending army spontaneously resisted to the death, and it would not fall for a while.
"Ben is going to the city to supervise the battle!" Yuan Chonghuan didn't care about Cui Chengxiu at all, the most important thing at the moment was to repel the attack of the Qing army, but it was difficult for people with ten muscles and cartilage to even walk, how to get to the city, or Liu Ziguang had a way, summoned four soldiers, and used two spears to wear under the Taishi chair where Yuan Chonghuan was sitting, and lifted it up to be a simple sliding rod. The rest of the generals followed suit, and one by one they sat in their chairs and were lifted up by the soldiers.
"You wait for each of you to go back to the headquarters to supervise the battle, the success or failure of Yanzhou is in this battle, please leave it to you!" Yuan Chonghuan sat on the sliding pole and saluted the generals, and the generals also resolutely replied: "We will fight to the death and not retreat, and live and die with Yanzhou." ”
Dozens of sliding rods carried the generals to their respective posts, and Yuan Chonghuan took Liu Ziguang, Wu Sangui, Cui Chengxiu, Fan Wencheng and others to the North Gate Tower.
Liu Ziguang rode his horse and walked on Yuan Chonghuan's left side, and the jade phoenix pendant on his waist fell into Yuan Chonghuan's eyes again, this mysterious young man must have a background, if you don't ask now, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.
"General Liu, dare to ask you where this jade pendant comes from?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.
"It was given by a very distinguished friend, and I have a life-saving grace and brotherhood with him." Liu Ziguang's words are also true.
"Dare to ask if this friend of yours is a person from the capital surnamed Zhu, a little brother who is not very old?" Yuan Chonghuan continued to ask cautiously.
It seems that he saw it, Liu Ziguang looked at his own people all around, and began to fool: "Exactly, this little brother is a wealthy family, and his family is controlled by his stepmother and evil housekeeper, although he is young, he is heroic and wise, and he pretends to be playful all day long to confuse his stepmother, but in fact, he secretly accumulates strength and entrusts him to find a loyal old servant, hoping to get back what belongs to him one day." ”
"Then can General Liu help him find a loyal servant?" Yuan Chonghuan continued to ask. There was already a hint of anticipation and eagerness in his tone.
"I found it, but I don't know if the old domestic servant is willing to help the little master." Liu Ziguang smiled and continued to play dumb riddles.
"Dare to ask General Liu who is the loyal and righteous person?" Yuan Chonghuan's face was already a little flushed.
"It is the commander of Xuzhou, Yuan Dashuai!" Liu Ziguang stared at Yuan Chonghuan and said, this person is not the queen mother's family, let alone the eunuch camp, he should be a target that can be used, let's help Zhu Youxiao win over for the time being, the strength of the hundreds of thousands of Xuzhou troops is still very considerable.
Yuan Chonghuan burst into tears: "The saint is wise, and I am hopeful for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty." He immediately ordered the slider to stop, and turned sideways to kneel down to Liu Ziguang: "Yuan Chonghuan see Lord Qincha." ”
Yes! Chincha-sama! Liu Ziguang was startled, and then reacted, but isn't it, I am a messenger sent by the emperor, and it is not false at all. He immediately whispered: "Yuan Dashuai must not make a noise, this matter is confidential and must not be leaked." ”
Yuan Chonghuan reacted, hurriedly stopped bowing down, and let the sliding rod continue to move forward, surrounded by soldiers from the death camp, they didn't care about the dumb riddle between General Liu and the old man who sat on a big gun and lifted a chair.
Liu Ziguang pretended to whisper mysteriously: "The emperor dictated, and Yuan Chonghuan took the order." ”
Yuan Chonghuan responded in a low voice: "The old minister accepts the order." ”
"Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of Xuzhou, was promoted to be the left attendant of the military department, and the governor knew that the prime minister of Shandong's army, horses, money, and food were all suitable, and he was controlled by Liu Ziguang, the governor of the capital and the general who defended the country and rebelled."
"Commandment." Yuan Chonghuan burst into tears with excitement again, finally waiting for this day, he could get rid of the rebellion for the country, he was emotionally unwilling to doubt the truth of Liu Ziguang's words, the emperor must have mastered Cui Chengxiu's conspiracy to send Liu Ziguang to save me. Such a martial warrior is only worthy of being driven by the emperor, and such a great crime against the sky as falsely transmitting the holy decree is not something ordinary people dare to do.
"I don't know about military affairs in Xia, so it's better for Yuan Dashuai to be in charge, and it's more than enough to be a pioneer in Xia." Liu Ziguang continued.
Look at the people, what a mind, they are already the governors of the capital, the generals who protect the country and rebel, and they are willing to be pioneers under their own command. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you so wise and have accepted such a good general. Yuan Chonghuan secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
**************************************************************************************************************************************
After a long truce, the physical strength of the troops has been greatly restored, according to the information transmitted by Fan Wencheng at any time, the cavalry of the Qing army, which has been waiting for a long time, made a big move yesterday to surround and annihilate the 15,000 Zhejiang army infantry hidden near Yanzhou, the sons and daughters killed that is called a happy, the cavalry against the infantry is simply like chopping melons and vegetables, 15,000 Zhejiang troops did not escape, put on the clothing and banner of the Zhejiang army, the Qing army marched to Tengxian County, and easily opened the city gate, Teng County was washed with blood, and the millions of stone military rations of the Ming army were burned. Now his troops are divided into three routes, two strong armies respectively storm the east and west camps of Yanzhou, and the suspicious soldiers in the middle of the road feign to attack Yanzhou under his personal leadership, so that the Ming army can not take care of each other.
His subordinates are all relatively weak Han Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, and their own Zhengbai Banner troops are supervising the battle behind, driving these cannon fodder to climb the city wall of Yanzhou, he just wants to give the city an impression of attacking with all its might, so that they dare not send troops to rescue the East and West Battalions.
At the moment, the most worried is Fan Wencheng, the secret agent sent by the old gentleman told him that the plan to kill Yuan Chonghuan had failed, but the generals of the Ming army were poisoned, and now is a good time to attack.
I don't know if Mr. Fan can be safe, this king would rather not Yanzhou than lose Mr. Fan, with Mr. Fan's banner, he can attract more Han people to surrender, and Mr. Fan himself is also a rare minister, compared with Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms, it is not much concession.
The Manchu generals are holding a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to fight the world, and Dolgon is even more familiar with it, often comparing himself to Liu Bei Liu Huang's uncle, and at this moment suddenly saw his Zhuge Kongming faintly flashing in the city of Yanzhou, as if he was still tied.
