Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 156: Grain and Grass (1)
Ling Jingyang looked at Murong Tu who was punching and kicking the prisoners of war, Li Daoli also looked at it, and saw that it was Murong Tu who was punching and kicking, and he was happy, and said to Ling Jingyang: "This person is what I told you yesterday, Murong Tu, the guard general of Wei County, we will meet him in the past." ”
Murong Tu beat the prisoners because these prisoners surrendered to the Qing army, and there were many people who were former friends, and they all followed Jiang Jiu to surrender to the Qing army, and he saw Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli coming over with the corner of his eye.
"I am not friendly with you, but the two of you did not lose face, so I brought troops to support."
Ling Jingyang smiled with him: "General Murong, respect you as a man, but what can you do, today the number of Dashun army and the rebel army is equal, next time if the number of rebels is more, and there are Qing soldiers to reinforce, I am afraid that your little man will be eaten and the bones and scum will be gone." ”
Listening to Jingyang's kindness, but Murong Tu didn't give face, and forced him back.
"We can fight the soldiers as we want, and you will teach our army less."
Li Daoli sighed and said to him: "Murong Tu, if you really want to fight with the Qing army, cooperate with our army, and don't be broken by the Qing army." ”
Ling Jingyang also struck while the iron was hot: The Qing army is powerful, Wu Sangui and other traitors are willing to be pawns of the Qing army, just like you Jiang Xuan, with the troops to surrender to the Qing army, the Qing army's soldiers and horses are like snowballs, if this goes on, the Qing army will pull out a million troops, and we are still fighting on our own, General Murong, don't you feel panicked? ”
Murong Tu was speechless, thinking that what Ling Jingyang said was like that, but he was still loyal and patriotic, thinking that the Dashun Army was the murderer of His Majesty Chongzhen, and he did not accept the leadership of the Dashun Army in his heart.
"When you are worried about internal and external troubles in my Ming Dynasty, you will poke holes in various places and let the Qing soldiers enter the customs several times, if it is not you, I will destroy Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty."
Murong Tu always thought in his heart that it was the Dashun army that dragged the Ming Dynasty back, so that the Ming Dynasty was attacked by the Qing army and the Dashun army, and now the Shun army was defeated by the Qing army, how could he not be angry?
His vision is very limited, but this is not to blame him, everyone has the limitations of the times, and Ling Jingyang did not think that he was pedantic: "Those things have passed, and the great enemy is now, it is even more important to put aside prejudices and expel foreign enemies, instead of coaxing in the nest." ”
"Why are you coaxed in the nest, you beat yours, I beat mine, let's go to the side of the road, isn't it good?"
Boom, Ling Jingyang's mind was a little angry.
"Murong Tu, if we don't join forces, we will be coaxed in the nest, do you think that my Dashun army will break through the capital and be the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Isn't it?"
"It was before, it is not now, at least until the Qing army is not defeated, we are not an enemy."
As Ling Jingyang spoke, an idea suddenly came to mind, but it was just immature, he continued to look at Murong Tu, hoping that Murong Tu could become his subordinate.
At this time, the scouts on the west side of the Black Rock Ridge found an enemy army killing here, and hurried back.
"Report, ladies and gentlemen, there are thousands of rebels on the west side, and they are killing here."
Ling Jingyang asked Dong Daqi how many people were still in the direct army, and Dong Daqi replied to him that there were more than 300 soldiers who could fight, and there were only more than 60 people left in Li Daoli's own soldiers who could fight with swords, and only Murong Tu's subordinates had more than 400 people who could continue to fight.
The three of them looked at each other and decided to fight an ambush battle, and Murong Tu also learned some information about this rebel from the captives.
These rebels came from Shuozhou, and came to Wei County to collect grain and grass for the army to attack Taiyuan Mansion in the south.
"It's Niu Guangtian."
Murong Tu knew that Niu Guangtian, this person was also quite righteous, and he followed Jiang Hao to surrender to the Qing army, but he was also unwilling, if he came to attack Heishiling, he could know how to reason with emotion and persuade him to defect.
"I know Niu Guangtian, he is not a heinous person, I will meet him, if I can't convince him, it's not too late to use troops."
Ling Jingyang is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, and has also read about Jiang Huang Datong anyway, including a general named Niu Guangtian, after Jiang Huang failed anyway, he still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty until ten years later in 1658, when he was defeated and captured by the governor of Baoding.
"Murong Tu, we are still lurking in the mountains, waiting for that bull general to lead the troops in, pointing a knife and gun at him to persuade him, it is more convincing than you with your mouth."
In the eyes of everyone, the mouth knife is always inferior to the iron knife, and Murong Tu's subordinates are not worried that Murong Tu will go to Niu Guangtian's army alone, it is good to be able to convince him, but if he can't convince Niu Guangtian, as long as he says a word, Murong Tu will die.
Seeing that everyone disagreed, Murong Tu had no choice but to lead his troops to ambush on the west side of Heishiling, Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli led the troops to ambush on the east side, Ling Jingyang also asked Dong Daqi to rush back to Wei County, report to General Li Guo that there were rebels in Heishiling, and ask General Li to send reinforcements.
Dong Daqi didn't want to go back, he hadn't been addicted yet, but when he thought that Bai Lushui was also in Wei County, he still rode a fast horse and ran madly towards Wei County.
Hundreds of people were ambushed in Heishiling, and after a while, the rebels swarmed in, Niu Guangtian was Jiang Xuan's general, stationed in Shuozhou, this time leading 4,000 troops to collect grain and grass in Wei County, they were in the south of Wei County, and they did not know that the county seat of Wei County was captured by the Dashun army. , and also prepared to take the collected grain and grass to Wei County to rest.
The forward passed by the Black Stone Ridge, and the Black Stone Ridge had the Dashun Army, so he entered the Black Stone Ridge, and after the defeat of the Black Stone Ridge, the remnants of the Forward Army withdrew, and Niu Guangtian said that there were the remnants of the Dashun Army in the Black Stone Ridge.
Niu Guangtian immediately rushed over with his troops, wanting to annihilate the Dashun army of Heishiling, when he rushed to the battlefield, but did not see the shadow of the Dashun army, he still had more than 3,000 soldiers, he looked at Heishiling again, and concluded that the Dashun army must be in Heishiling, but his strength was not enough to hide to surround Heishiling, so he and his subordinates ordered to set fire to the mountain and force the Dashun army out with fire.
The subordinates took the soldiers to burn the mountain, which made Ling Jingyang surprised, this Niu Guangtian still had some brains, seeing that the rebels began to attack with fire, Murong Tu stood up and roared: "General Niu, I am Murong Tu, the garrison of Datong Mansion, and I have heard the name of the general for a long time." ”
Niu Guangtian didn't know Murong Tu, but Murong Tu called out his name, he ordered to stop burning the mountain, and shouted in the mountain: "Murong Tu, if you are a subordinate of General Jiang, why do you still surrender to the thief and recognize the thief as your father?" ”
Murong Tu responded loudly: "It is better to recognize a thief as a father than to follow Jiannu as a dog, General Niu, you are also a bright and upright person, are you willing to drive for Jiannu?" ”
"Lao Tzu can't teach you a lesson, you hurry up to Lao Tzu and send the grain and grass to Wei County with me, and when you arrive in Datong City, I will say good things to you in front of Jiang Zongbing, and there is a lack of generals in the army, and Jiang Zongbing will not blame you for surrendering to the thief at that time."
"Ahaha, General Jiang surrendered to the thief in your mouth not long ago, how many days has it been, and he surrendered to the Qing army, is this anyway, or is it a rebellion?"
This was said by Ling Jingyang, after Niu Guangtian heard it, his old face turned red, he was Jiang Huang's general, Jiang Huang said that whoever he followed, he would follow whom, but Jiang Huang rebelled against Daming, surrendered Dashun, rebelled against Dashun, surrendered to Daqing, as a general, Niu Guangtian only had unconditional obedience, but his heart was still dissatisfied and full of disdain.
The general looked at him and asked him if he wanted to burn the mountain, Niu Guangtian looked at the large area of Heishiling, and the effect of his subordinates setting fire to the mountain was not great, so it was better to take grain and grass to Wei County.
"Murong Tu, I'll let you live today, I hope you will do it yourself, don't mess with the thief."
"General Niu, I won't mess with the thieves, but I will fight with the Qing army to the end until the day I die in battle."
This remark was like a bolt of lightning, slashing through Niu Guangtian's heart, making Niu Guangtian feel heartbroken, he also wanted to fight with the Qing army, but Jiang Zongbing led everyone to surrender to the Qing army, and his heart hurt.
"Murong Tu, there will be a period later."
He led the troops to the direction of Wei County, Ling Jingyang watched Niu Guangtian drive in the direction of Wei County, and said to Li Daoli: "Niu Guangtian is delivering food to the door." “”
Murong Tu was a little anxious, Niu Guangtian lost more than half of his forwards, and he still didn't attack, how could he let Niu Guangtian go to Wei County to die?
"Two, I am willing to fight Jiannu with you, and please save General Niu's life."
Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli glanced at each other and smiled knowingly, Li Daoli told Murong Tu very unceremoniously that he didn't need people who were unconvinced, and he didn't like to force others to do things he didn't like.
Ling Jingyang also nodded with Murong Tu, and led the troops to the village on the east side of Heishiling to buy food, the attitude of the two made Murong Tu very dissatisfied, he said: "General Niu is righteous and Bo Yuntian, more than half of the vanguard army was killed by us, and he still repays his grievances with virtue, can the two of you bear to watch him and his subordinates die?" ”
"He refuses to surrender to our army, just like you, he always thinks that our Dashun army is a traitor, but our Dashun army carries the banner of fighting against the Qing army.
Ling Jingyang stimulated Murong Tu again and again, Murong Tu's eyes were red when he was stimulated, and he suddenly gave Ling Jingyang a kneeling down.
"Please save General Niu's life, the last general is willing to swear to follow you."
Li Daoli and Murong Tu said: "I and this General Ling, but the mighty generals left and right in the rear camp of the Dashun Army, are you willing to follow me or follow him?" ”
Both of them are mighty generals left and right, Murong Tu looked at Ling Jingyang and Li Daoli, gritted his teeth, and actually chose Ling Jingyang, which really choked Li Dao's strength, he envied Ling Jingyang, but he was embarrassed to snatch love.
With such a good general, Ling Jingyang was not polite, and hurriedly said to Murong Tu that he did not have to worry that Niu Guangtian and his subordinates would be eaten by the rear camp, he took his direct troops and Murong Tu's troops to rush out of the Black Stone Ridge Mountain and beat the drum towards Niu Guangtian not far away.
The sound of drums resounded all over the sky, Niu Guangtian's troops carried grain and grass, and they did not walk fast, and after hearing the drums, they were a little strange, and they did not wait for Niu Guangtian to order the troops to line up.
Ling Jingyang led the troops to rush in the direction of Niu Guangtian, Ling Jingyang didn't care about Niu Guangtian's army, his eyes were full of more than 20 grain trucks in Niu Guangtian's army, which were full of grain and grass, Ling Jingyang looked at it, there were at least two thousand stones.
