"The old slave would rather die with Daming than live secretly under the eaves of Jiannu."

Seeing him say this, Ling Jingyang took back his waist knife and said, "Wang Chengen, I want 100,000 taels of silver, 5,000 stones of grain and grass, as well as 100 baskets of pig iron, gunpowder, herbs and other ordnance. ”

"You're a lion's mouth."

With so many weapons and ammunition, it almost hollowed out the not rich family of the Chongzhen Imperial Court, and Wang Chengen, even if he had a good temper, couldn't help but blame Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang is also a cheerful person, and Zhou Yuan nodded on the side.

Zhou Yuan immediately stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation with Wang Chengen, and Mei Shaozuo, who was standing guard outside the door, also stepped forward with two personal soldiers, if Wang Chengen didn't leave, he would have to be carried out.

Wang Chengen fled, and after he left, Ling Jingyang and Zhou Yuan said, "Zhou Yuan, I'm not too much, right?" ”

"It's not too much, our army attacked Datong Mansion, but pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers, just this bit of silver, grain and grass, the lower officials thought it was less."

Ling Jingyang thought that Zhou Yuan had a strategic vision, and promoted him from the army to the Governor's Mansion as a servant and became his think tank.

Zhou Yuan suggested that Ling Jingyang contact the Dashun army stationed in Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi, as long as the Ming army attacked Datong Mansion and the Dashun Army of Yan'an Prefecture sent troops to cooperate, it would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"There are also contradictions between our army and the Dashun army, and Li Guobu, the Dashun army who is good friends with our army, went to Huguang, and the Dashun army stationed in Yan'an Mansion at this time is Liu Fangliang's department, and I just nodded to him."

Zhou Yuan volunteered and asked him to go to Yan'an Mansion to persuade the Dashun army to attack Datong Mansion.

"Zhou Yuan, you are a rare talent in our army, you go to Yan'an Mansion, and the governor of Bendu is reluctant."

Ling Jingyang rejected Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan asked him who should he go?

Ling Jingyang suddenly remembered that Zhang Shun, who was the former captain of the Dashun Army, asked him to go to Yan'an Mansion, perhaps using the old relationship with his comrades-in-arms in the Dashun Army to persuade the Dashun Army to attack Datong Mansion.

Zhou Yuan and Ling Jingyang had different ways of thinking, and he said to Ling Jingyang: "Zhang Shun has just defected from the Dashun army to the governor, although the governor and the court are not strong

The two stand, but in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Shun is a traitor who betrayed the Dashun army and defected to the imperial court. ”

Let Zhang Shun persuade the Dashun Army of Yan'an Mansion that Zhang Shun may be cut down as a traitor by the Dashun Army, but Ling Jingyang didn't expect this, and felt that what Zhou Yuan said was very reasonable.

"Zhou Yuan, you're right, I'm taking it for granted."

"Governor, the lower officials still think it's appropriate for me to go to Yan'an Mansion."

Ling Jingyang finally agreed to Zhou Yuan to go to Yan'an Mansion, he ordered Shi Tie to mobilize 500 soldiers to escort Zhou Yuan to Yan'an Mansion, Zhou Yuan said that there are so many soldiers, and a lot of grain and grass will be consumed on the road, if the Dashun army really wants to kill him, this soldier is tantamount to sending him into the tiger's mouth.

These soldiers were protecting Zhou Yuan on the road, not going to Yan'an Mansion to protect Zhou Yuan, Ling Jingyang insisted on letting five hundred soldiers escort Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan was not easy to refuse, he took five hundred soldiers to Yan'an Mansion.

Ling Jingyang also immediately convened a military meeting, summoning Li Rufeng, Lao Mantou, Zhang Shun, Shi Tie, as well as Wang Mu, Mi Shengguang, Wang Bao and other local officials, to discuss sending troops to Datong Mansion in the Governor's Mansion.

Before attacking Henan Mansion, the generals were not enthusiastic, but this time attacking Datong Mansion, everyone showed great enthusiasm, and they couldn't wait to go to Datong Mansion to attack the Qing army now.

Ling Jingyang was also curious about why his subordinates were so excited, Li Rufeng stood up and bared his teeth with Ling Jingyang, and said: "Dudu, the last time you went to Henan, it was too far, this time we attacked Datong Mansion, which is equivalent to a local battle, and there are two soldiers and horses of He Zhen and Jiang Xuan, which are not worthy of building slaves." ”

Zhang Shun was chased and beaten by the Qing army before, and he had a chance to be ashamed this time, and he asked him to be the vanguard and attack the western towns of Datong.

Shi Tie is not lagging behind, and he is willing to fight with Ling Jingyang, and he is also willing to be the vanguard and attack the southern prefectures and counties of Datong Prefecture.

Ling Jingyang asked the two to sit down and said: "Let's wait for Zhou Yuan to come back and see the attitude of the Dashun army in Yan'an Prefecture, if they send troops to attack Datong Mansion, our army will reduce its losses, if they don't move, we will not only attack the Qing army, but also beware of the surprise attack on the back of the Dashun army." ”

Li Rufeng, Zhang Shun, and Lao Mantou were all from the Dashun Army, and suddenly heard Ling Jingyang say that the Dashun Army might raid, and the expressions on their faces were very complicated.

Especially Zhang Shun, he thought that the Dashun army would not attack the Ming army from behind

, Lao Mantou and Li Rufeng didn't want to think that the Dashun Army would backstab, but they followed Ling Jingyang for so long, and they went further and further away with the Dashun Army.

Li Rufeng and Ling Jingyang said that when fighting against Datong Mansion, they must have a reserve of soldiers and horses to prevent the Dashun army from annexing them.

This is also the best way, Ling Jingyang acquiesced to Li Rufeng's suggestion, and he asked Wang Mu again, how much grain and grass is there in the army, Wang Mule replied to everyone, this time there is a bumper harvest, and the whole army has 500,000 stones of grain and grass, which is enough for the army to expedition to Datong Mansion.

There was so much grain and grass, everyone was full of confidence, Ling Jingyang and the generals ordered, back to the jurisdiction tonight, each selected troops to go to Datong Mansion, and ordered Wang Mu to distribute the grain and grass to the armies, and the armies formed their own grain protection teams.

Fifteen days later, the whole army assembled in Fenyang, and the old steamed bun asked Ling Jingyang, what if He Zhen and Jiang Hao refused to go north?

Ling Jingyang smiled, He Zhen and Jiang Hao are not stupid, if they don't go north at this time, they will have no chance to go north in the future.

All the generals thought that Ling Jingyang was reasonable, and prepared to go back to raise troops to attack Datong Mansion in the north.

Ling Jingyang ordered the meeting to be dismissed, but Wang Mu suddenly said before the meeting: "Everyone, the main force of our army goes north to Datong Mansion, what if it is backstabbed by the imperial court?" ”

The whole venue was silent for a moment, and Ling Jingyang didn't expect this, Zhu Youzhen had instigated the reserve army to rebel once, which made him suffer heavy losses and lose most of his army.

This time he led the main force to Datong Mansion, if Zhu Youzhen once again raided Lingshi County and other large rear, and lost the base area, he and the army would become a rogue without a base area.

Ling Jingyang's face changed unpredictably, and he said to Wang Mu: "Lord Wang, if you say something, we will be deafening." ”

The old steamed bun couldn't hold his breath and scolded: "Lao Tzu fights for the imperial court, if the imperial court raids from behind, Lao Tzu..."

Zhang Shun crossed his eyes and asked him, "What is Lao Tzu?" ”

The old steamed bun was angry and roared.

"Lao Tzu went to Jiannu."

As soon as these words came out, the air was terrifyingly quiet, and the old steamed bun would not have thought that he would say such a thing, Ling Jingyang and the others were stunned, and they all looked at the old steamed bun stupidly, and the old steamed bun was embarrassed by everyone, and pulled out his waist knife and put it on his neck.
