Another elm head?

Ling Jingyang was very sad for a while, this Luo Fu's brain is really a martial arts thought, he used Zhu Youzhen just to use his identity as the Son of Heaven to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to attract more forces to vote, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding his strength.

I had to endure the drowsiness and continue to enlighten Zhang Luofu: "Maybe you think Dashun is better than Daming, but in my opinion, Da Ming, Da Shun, or the Houjin Army, the ultimate goal is to eliminate other forces, that is to say, so many strengths, in the end can only survive one, whether it is Da Shun or Da Ming, it is a banner, a banner that allows us to grow our strength, you don't have to dwell on these, we have to train well, and when we have the strength to wrestle with the Qing army, you can use whatever banner you want." ”

Zhang Luofu thought for a while, and Ling Jingyang said to him again: "The army brought by Baidun are all veterans, and when Taiyuan Mansion is hit, I will transfer Baidun's soldiers and horses into your army, and you give Baidun a false position and turn his soldiers and horses into the backbone of your troops." ”

"Yes, the last general will definitely complete the task."

After Ling Jingyang persuaded Zhang Luofu, he talked to him about some ups and downs, but Ling Jingyang knew about the troubles of the high-level Qing army, and talked to Zhang Luofu about the secrets of the Houjin regent Dolgon and his sister-in-law.

"Zhang Luofu, you can look at the high-level of Houjin, although we verbally insult them, but they do have the ability, from the ice and snow outside the gate, they have broken out of the world, they are our fierce enemies, don't despise them."

This is to say that Zhang Luo Fuxin is in the camp, the Qing army is good at fighting, maybe the Ming border army can still withstand it for decades, but the current Ming army is definitely not an opponent, he also knows the past of the Dashun army in the Dashun army, the elite old battalion troops in the Dashun army, and the strength to fight with the Qing army.

However, the other troops, especially the army that expanded later, were no match for the Qing army.

"My lord, the artillery of the Jiannu army is strong, and the last general once thought that the Jiannu army relied on its cavalry to come and go like the wind to run rampant all over the world, but after these days of fighting, the last general thought that the Jiannu cavalry was not the main force, and the real power was the artillery and the infantry army, these two supported the combat effectiveness of the Jiannu army, as long as one of them was interrupted, the combat power of the other armies would naturally be greatly reduced."

"The Jiannu soldiers and horses are strong, but the number is not large, we are fighting very hard, and they are not much better, as long as they insist on fighting them and consume their main force, they will not be able to hold back."

"Can't hold back, does it mean that our army can fight back?"

He was still a little anxious, and Ling Jingyang and him were looking for progress: "How can it be so fast, after Jiannu enters the customs, they will not retreat outside the customs again, but it is a little certain that they have encountered iron nails in us, and in order to pay the millions of green battalion soldiers, they have to rob more fertile places." ”

"My lord, do you mean that Jiannu will attack Jiangnan?"

Zhang Luofu finally got his senses, Ling Jingyang smiled, and said: "Well, Jiannu can't open the situation here for a long time, those green battalion soldiers who surrendered to Jiannu are not good at stubble, no military salary, no women, no food and grass, what do you guess will happen to those green battalion soldiers?" ”

"It will be the same as Jiang Jiu, betrayed again."

Ling Jingyang ate another piece of jerky: "Yes, Jiannu can't capture Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, only to rob the richer Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and only to rob the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions can we maintain a huge army to operate, and those civil and military ministers who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they are rich and rival the country, Jiannu has no silver, so they have to be squeezed from these people, and by that time, there will be many civil and military ministers who will defect to us again, so we must gain a firm foothold in Shanxi." ”

These words reminded Zhang Luofu of Ling Jingyang leading the army to fight in Yongping Mansion, Miyun Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Mansion and other places, just to have a stable rear and fight a protracted war with the Qing army, and he constantly nodded in agreement with Ling Jingyang's strategy.

Ling Jingyang said again: "Now is a good time, as long as you capture Taiyuan Mansion, rely on Jiang Jiu as the right wing, and join forces with Li Zicheng, at least you can block the next attack of Jiannu." ”

Zhang Luofu was already completely addicted to the strategy that Ling Jingyang conceived for him, and Ling Jingyang said: "The Jiannu army is also a human being, if it can't be defeated once, the next attack will be angry, and after resisting a few times, Jiannu will attack other places, and then our opportunity will come." ”

Seeing that Zhang Luofu was full of confidence, Ling Jingyang stood up slowly, and looked at the jerky on the table with him, which went without saying.

"Luo Fu, it's late, I won't talk about it tonight, but your jerky is good, I'll take it back and try it."

"Governor, you can take it back to eat, enter Taiyuan Mansion tomorrow, and our soldiers and horses are willing to take the lead."

"Well, that's it."

Ling Jingyang came out of Zhang Luofu's military camp and did not go back to his room to rest, but came to the western edge of the city, looking at the east of the city not far away, where Jiang Huang's troops were staying.

Jiang Huang's combat effectiveness is not weak, at least there is no unbridgeable gap with the Eight Banners, and if it is really ruthless, it will be difficult for the Eight Banners to be eaten in a short time.

He looked at Jiang Xuan's military camp, but he didn't know that Jiang Xuan was also Jiang Xuan, accompanied by Jiang Rang and other brothers, looking at the Dashun military camp opposite, the two of them yearned in the dark.

Ling Jingyang looked at Jiang Jing's military camp, the layout was very layered, worthy of the Ming border army, and the troops under his command, the military camp of each unit was very stylish, but it was Murong Tu, Niu Guangtian, the two military camps of the border army generals of Datong Mansion, and Jiang Jingyang's military camp did not fall behind, Ling Jingyang looked at it for a while, and took the soldiers back to rest.

After he left, Jiang Huang and the others in the dark had not gone back, Jiang Hao saw the Dashun Army, and he was also infinitely emotional, the Dashun Army had already surpassed the Ming Army in strength, he and Jiang Xuan said: "You and the Dashun Army are too close." ”

Jiang Xuan was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say a word, Jiang Xuan said again: "It's good to get close to them, at least you can have more friends, so you won't fight alone." ”

"Yes, I have a life-and-death relationship with Li Rufeng, the captain of the Ling Jingyang Cavalry Battalion, and I may be able to open a passage from him."

Jiang Hao looked at the starry sky, and said to his brothers: "We betrayed the Ming Dynasty, betrayed the Dashun, and betrayed the Qing Dynasty. ”

Jiang Rang and Jiang Xuan nodded, and Jiang Xuan said again: "Our brothers have to work together, you all listen well, take Taiyuan Mansion, our army occupies the central area of Taiyuan Mansion, and let Ling Jingyang's troops be stationed nearby, so that our army will not be besieged by Li Zicheng and Dolgon, and you will also recruit old subordinates, it is impossible to fight back and forth on this point." ”

After Jiang Hao entered Shuo County, he had asked his generals to snipe the generals scattered in the western part of the mountain, and he should be able to gather some soldiers these days.

Everyone knows that they have betrayed the two most powerful forces of the day, and only by holding on to the broken ship of Emperor Chongzhen may be able to survive.

At this time, a general asked him for instructions: "General soldier, attack Taiyuan Mansion, do we want to preserve our strength?" ”

The generals are also good for him, but this time, Jiang Hao thought for a long time before saying: "At this time, give me as much as possible, if you can't beat Taiyuan Mansion, I am afraid that you will be killed by the Qing army." ”

Subsequently, he and a group of generals returned to the camp to rest, and after dawn the next day, he specially led hundreds of people to the west of the city to visit Ling Jingyang.

For his visit, many people in the Dashun army expressed dissatisfaction, why didn't they come to visit before, but Ling Jingyang secretly applauded, Jiang Huang came to visit him at this time, it was sincere.

If you come to visit him the day before yesterday, it is very likely that you will come to test Ling Jingyang's injury, if Ling Jingyang is seriously injured, he will wait for the opportunity to raid, swallow Ling Jingyang's soldiers and horses, snatch His Majesty away, and wait until Ling Jingyang's health is better to visit again, that is, with the attitude of joining forces.

Ling Jingyang warmly entertained him, and also used the dried meat and Jiang Jiu that he scavenged from Zhang Luofu last night for breakfast, Jiang Huang was also the first time to eat this kind of salty air-dried meat, the more he ate, the more flavorful he became, and he ate a big bowl of jerky and two bowls of millet porridge in one go.

Ling Jingyang was dumbfounded, he also brought a piece of dried meat from Zhang Luofu, which was half eaten by Jiang Xuan, and he said to Jiang Xuan: "Chief Jiang Bing, no, Governor Jiang, your appetite is really good." ”

Jiang Hao smiled and replied to Ling Jingyang: "Ling Dudu, didn't you also eat a bowl of millet porridge and two big steamed buns?" ”

The two looked at each other at the same time, and almost at the same time, Lang Lang laughed, and officially began to get into the theme.

Jiang Hao and Ling Jingyang proposed that when Taiyuan Mansion was laid, he wanted Taiyuan City, that is, Taiyuan Prefecture attached to Guo Yangqu County (attached to Guo as the capital of the Prefecture), under five states and twenty counties, and he wanted three of them and eighteen counties, namely Daizhou, Pingding Prefecture, Qilan Prefecture, etc., and only gave Xinzhou and Baode Prefecture two small prefectures to Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang looked at the map of Taiyuan Prefecture, Xinzhou and Baode Prefecture are in the north-central part of Taiyuan Prefecture, and they are also the forefront of resisting the Qing army, he sneered: "General Jiang, don't you think I'm a fool?" ”

Jiang Hao didn't blush, but continued: "My brother Jiang Rang used to be stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, and he was quite prestigious in Taiyuan Mansion, and he was in Taiyuan City, so he could recruit many subordinates to come to us, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"That's just cheap for you, you let us stand up to the Qing army in the north, and there are few people in the jurisdiction, so I am not afraid that I will sacrifice Your Majesty to the Qing army and destroy you together with the Qing army in the south"

Of course, he would not surrender to the Qing army, but Jiang Hao had to give up part of the territory, he blackened his face and reluctantly said: "That Daizhou will also give it to you, our army is stationed in the south of Taiyuan Mansion, and it is not easier than you to have territory and soldiers and horses to resist the Qing army in Henan." ”

"Okay, that's it, today you and my two armies entered Taiyuan Mansion from Shuo County, rested in Ningwu Military Town, and then went straight to Taiyuan City, blocked by the Qing army, and worked together to kill them."

"It's a deal."

The two finally reached a not tacit agreement, after the whole army had breakfast, began to move towards Taiyuan Mansion, Ling Jingyang before departure, recruited such as cold iron, and Leng Rutie issued an order, after the army entered Taiyuan Mansion, left a small number of soldiers and horses along the way to meet Wang Mu and others, and let the cavalry battalion transfer one-fifth of the soldiers and horses back to Datong Mansion, Wang Mu and other people led to Taiyuan Mansion.

Leng Rutie and Li Rufeng got the order, and they selected elite soldiers one after another to meet the people on the road, and Ling Jingyang and Zhang Luofu ordered: "After entering Taiyuan Mansion, as long as you see people, whether they are men, women, or children, they will take them with you." ”

Jiang Huang was also the same as him, ordered the troops to enter Taiyuan Mansion and began to rob people, and in the afternoon of the same day, the two troops entered the Ningwu Military Town of Taiyuan Mansion from Yangfangkou, where a small number of Qing troops saw the Dashun army attacking, and immediately retreated to the south.

After Ling Jingyang and Jiang Hao occupied the town of Ningwu Army, thousands of people gathered here, most of whom were hungry refugees who were divided between the Dashun Army and the Datong Army.

Li Rufeng, as the general of the forward army, looked at these people and remembered that those young people in Shuo County were actually the Qing army.

He and Wang Hong ordered that all the young and middle-aged people on the side of the Dashun Army be singled out, and the young and strong were forced to join the army on the spot, and those who resisted were killed.

In order to wipe out all the Qing army, Li Rufeng also deliberately asked Niu Guangtian and Murong Tu for help, and the two were also willing, leading hundreds of soldiers to deploy near the people, Wang Hong waited for them to take place, and selected all the hundreds of young and middle-aged people among the people, most of these people were honest men, but there were really more than ten Qing army members.

They mixed in with the common people in order to transmit information to the Qing army in Taiyuan Prefecture, and after being blasted out of the people by the cavalry battalion, these people also calmed down and let the Dashun army disperse them into various lieutenant troops.

Li Rufeng asked every lieutenant to pay close attention to these people before arriving in Taiyuan City, and if there were deserters, kill them.

His approach was supported by Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang asked the captains of all departments to cooperate with Li Rufeng, and also asked Li Rufeng and Jiang Xuan to talk about it, after Jiang Xuan got the news, he felt that it made sense, and he also selected all the young and strong people and scattered them to various troops.

That night, the army camped in Ningwujun Town, and in the second half of the night, the army maintained a curfew, only dozens of sentries were on guard, and everyone else fell asleep.

At dawn, the Dashun army camp and the Datong army camp slipped out of the front and back and ran out of the city under the cover of night.

They went out of the city surprisingly smoothly, after leaving the barracks, they did not take the main road, but drilled into the nearby ravines, behind them, Li Rufeng and Jiang Xuan each led more than 100 cavalry, and followed slowly behind.

After dawn, these people came to the foot of Guan Shu Mountain, there are dozens of Qing soldiers under the mountain to respond, it seems that these people are lurking among the people of the Qing army meticulously, Li Rufeng and Jiang Xuan said: "We have such a few people, I'm afraid it's not enough, you go back to ask for reinforcements, I'm here to resist, don't let a fine work back to Taiyuan City." ”

Jiang Xuan was also not polite, let his subordinates fight with Li Rufeng here, he went back to ask for reinforcements, after he left, Li Rufeng ordered half of the troops to bypass Guanshu Mountain, go to Houshan Pass to wait, and the others and he continued to wait in the mountain pass for the Qing army to come out.

After waiting for a long time, the Qing army was stunned and didn't come out, Li Rufeng thought about it, the Qing army had to rely on manpower to transmit information, and it didn't come out to deliver information for so long, could it be that this was not the Qing army's intelligence station?
