"What is Zug doing? I have to decide everything, so what does he do as a conductor? Tell him that as long as the goal is basically achieved, Jihua should judge for himself! If you are like this mother-in-law again, let him go home and pick up the child! Wu Shigong threw away the urgent report sent by Zug and said impatiently.

Wu Shigong's mood has not been very good in the past few days. When he led people to Xinye County, he was in a stalemate with Yu Zilian.

When King Guabei, together with the troops brought out of the city by Yao Liang, set up a formation to fight the Ruzhou army in the city, suddenly his flank was attacked by "friendly troops", and the Ruzhou army also took advantage of the situation to also kill the troops of King Guabei. Fortunately, King Guabbi was also an old rebel leader, and he reacted quickly and fled immediately. But he only fled alone, and the peasant army that fled with the Guabei King was less than a thousand.

But before the battle was over, Yao Liang retreated into Xinye County with his troops. Yao Liang thought very clearly: don't look at him and Yu Zilian have some friendship, but when snatching the spoils of war, friendly troops will also become enemy troops, not to mention that there are so many homeless people who have taken refuge in Yao Liang, and they may be killed by the Ruzhou army as military merits.

In this regard, Yu Zilian's reaction was a beat slower, and when he found out about Yao Liang's abnormal movements, Yao Liang was already pressing the city gate and waiting for him.

So began the negotiations between Yu Zilian and Yao Liang. First of all, Yu Zilian used his official position to press down the order: let Xinye County open the city gate, and let Xinye Zhixian enter the city to regain the county governance.

For this very reasonable request, Yao Liang couldn't refuse at all. All he could do was keep saying "Wait for the order from above!" "For this reason, the entry into the city of Shinno Prefecture was delayed.

In this regard, Yu Zilian was also a little helpless. Although he had a very poor relationship with Wu Shigong, Yu Zilian did not want to turn his face with Ru Ningjun. Besides, this time, in order to consider the speed of the march, the Ruzhou army did not carry any siege equipment. Therefore, it is not possible to directly attack the city.

So it went back and forth, and it dragged on. Yao Liang didn't dare to offend Yu Zilian too much, so he also transported nearly 1,000 stone of grain outside the city as a reward for the Runing army.

But when Wu Shigong arrived, there was no way to avoid the Runing army. As soon as the negotiations began, Wu Shigong found himself in a very passive situation.

According to reason, the food and materials in Xinye County are all owned by Xinye Prefecture, and the only one that can be disposed of is Xinye Zhi County. But now it is Yu Zilian who controls the magistrate, and whether to investigate the crime of abandoning the city and fleeing. are all in Yu Zilian's pen, so the current Yu Zilian has a bit of a taste of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and he proposed: The grain in Xinye County should be at least 30,000 stone for the Ruzhou Army.

Of course, Wu Shigong refused to give up the meat that had been eaten in his mouth, but it was unrealistic to give the Ruzhou army some food without dividing the profits, so Wu Shigong's bottom line was to give the Ruzhou army 10,000 stone of grain.

But then a question arises: if the relationship between the two is okay. Instead, you can sit down and bargain calmly to reach an agreement. But these two people have old grudges. Therefore, no one wants to meet each other and be abused. Therefore. The man who was talking between the two broke his leg.

However, it was impossible for Wu Shigong to stay in Xinye County endlessly, because in this way, Yu Zilian was inexplicably restrained by a regiment and cavalry battalion of his teaching legion. In addition, this matter is not Wu Shigong's responsibility, if the court learns about it and issues an order, it will be Wu Shigong's loss. So Wu Shigong is a little irritable these days.

And Wu Shigong is such a pro-expedition, Chu Ge must move the center of gravity of the Runing Army to Wu Shigong, that is, to ensure Wu Shigong's safety. Therefore. The pre-war jihua also had to change a lot. But Zug didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he kept asking Wu Shigong, and he happened to be used as a scapegoat by Wu Shigong, who was not in a good mood.

The big tent was also silent, and Wu Shigong also knew that his inexplicable fire was very unreasonable. So he waved his hand and asked all the people in the big tent to retreat.

But at this moment, a personal soldier came in and said, "My lord! Lord Yu has already come to the camp, and he asked you to go out of the camp to discuss. ”

Wu Shigong immediately sighed, then Yu Zilian finally couldn't stand it, and he finally had a step down!

When the two men in military uniforms met each other outside the camp on horseback, they both bowed their hands very perfunctorily, and then they were cold, and neither of them was willing to say the first word. This scene also looks very weird.

Yu Zilian couldn't help it first, he didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Give this official 25,000 stones!" ”

"Fifteen thousand stone at most!" Wu Shigong also gave in, thinking about resolving the stalemate in front of him earlier.

Yu Zilian snorted, took out a few pieces of paper without saying a word, and asked the soldiers around him to send them to Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong took a look, and his pupils suddenly gathered.

These pieces of paper are the latest battle situation and orders issued by the imperial court.

In May, Huang Taiji sent Azig as the commander-in-chief, together with Bel Abatai and Yanggul Vaming, from the Eagle Osprey Fort into Chang'an Ridge. After that, several troops were divided and pointed directly at Yanqing Prefecture, starting the first entrance battle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completely unexpected by the Ming Dynasty court and the border passes, because the northern barbarians in the past were all in the autumn and winter, which was also determined by the law of nomadic grazing.

Therefore, it can be seen from this sudden entry that Huang Taiji has achieved initial results in the national construction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he can already rely on his own production to supply the army.

Therefore, the unsuspecting border passes and military towns of the Ming Dynasty are in a mess, and it seems that Yanqing Prefecture will not be protected. Yanqing Prefecture is one hundred and fourteen or fifty miles northwest of Beijing, and then it is a smooth road to the capital, so the imperial court immediately closed the gate of the capital, consolidated the city defense, and issued an order to the four directions.

The armies in other places have their own tasks and cannot make big moves, and the relatively calm Ming armies in Henan and Shandong are within the scope of this mobilization. Of course, the Runing Army, which has not had any prominent battles in the recent stage, is also on the list of mobilization.

What's even worse is that Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army was not on the list of mobilizations this time because it wanted to encircle and suppress the peasant army.

So if Wu Shigong continues to delay like this, he is really going to miss a big deal. So Yu Zilian took advantage of this good opportunity to meet Wu Shigong in person to exert pressure.

Yu Zilian, as a civil official who can have direct contact with the imperial court, can grasp this information advantage. Therefore, in any era, information is the most valuable! (To be continued......)
