Chapter 431: Heading South (1)
Li Rufeng is not a person who is a crepe crepe, he is a head taller than Sun Kewang, and said sarcastically unceremoniously: "General Zhang, our army is going south to Huguang, what does it matter to your Great Western Army, hurry up and take your people to Henan, don't block the way here." ”
The muscles on Sun Kewang's face moved, and the soldiers of the nearby Daxi Army pulled out their weapons one after another, as long as Sun Kewang gave an order, he immediately attacked the Ming army in the city.
Ling Jingyang came over with the guards at this time, glanced at Sun Kewang, and said, "General Zhang, your soldiers wantonly beat the people in my Guan, and this drunkard doesn't mean to be in the bar?" ”
Sun Kewang's face was not red. "What a drunkard doesn't mean to drink, then I'll tell you clearly, your department will go south to Huguang, and you won't want this Ningwuguan?"
Ling Jingyang despised Sun Kewang in his heart, thinking that this person was short-sighted.
"I didn't expect General Zhang to hold back this fart, if you want it, this Ning Wuguan will be given to you."
Ningwuguan was given to the Great Western Army, Sun Kewang didn't dare to ask for it, he didn't want the Great Western Army to be in front, but he couldn't let the Dashun Army occupy Ningwu Pass, he was also a little contradictory, but the ultimate goal was to let Ling Jingyang, the Ming army, continue to garrison Ningwu Pass, and be on the front line of the battle with the Qing army.
His attitude made Ling Jingyang very angry, it was completely harmful to others and not to himself, and Ling Jingyang was not ambiguous, and one word hit Sun Kewang's weakness.
"If General Zhang has free time, it is better to go to my mansion for a few drinks, but I don't know if the Ming army in Yicheng has gone south to Henan Mansion at this time?"
Ling Jingyang said it lightly, Sun Kewang was indeed sweating and raining, he was here with Ling Jingyang, he could block Ling Jingyang from going south to Huguang, but he didn't think that if the three prefectures of Henan were occupied by the soldiers and horses of the Chongzhen Imperial Court, and cut off the connection between the Great Western Army and the headquarters of the Yunyang Mansion in Huguang, whether his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could be withdrawn to the Yunyang Mansion depended on the eyes of the Chongzhen Imperial Court.
At this time, Sun Kewang felt that Ling Jingyang was also a ruthless character, and at this moment, Li Dingguo came with his own soldiers and said to Sun Kewang: "Big brother, aren't we going to Henan Mansion?" ”
"Well, let's go, let's go now."
Sun Kewang almost gritted his teeth, and ran to Henan Mansion in the south with the soldiers of the Great Western Army, and Ling Jingyang saw tens of thousands of Great Western Army leave,

It took tens of thousands of Western troops half a day to leave Ningwu Pass.
After the Great Western Army left, it was time for lunch, and Ling Jingyang ordered the whole army to assemble the generals above the general level and the officials of the Governor's Mansion in the military camp directly under him.
After a while, dozens of heavily armed generals and dozens of civilian officials came to the barracks directly under their direct subordinates, and Ling Jingyang ordered them here that the whole army was about to march to the Huguang area, and officers at all levels must unify their thinking and implement it absolutely.
And announced in public that Li Rufeng was the envoy of the southward supervising army, Li Rufeng gladly accepted this appointment, and Ling Jingyang asked Wang Mu and other local officials to mobilize, and some were willing to go to the people of Huguang, each with a stone of coarse grain, and the baggage troops to move forward.
Ling Jingyang did this because he valued the labor force of the people, and the people provided the transportation of grain and grass, so that the troops could be liberated from the task of escorting grain and grass, and he could also do his best to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.
Wang Mu and other civilian officials went down to carry out the military order, Ling Jingyang began to arrange the troops, he ordered Wei Lan and Lao Mantou to be the middle army, escorting the army and civilian grain and grass, Zhang Shun was the left wing, Shi Tie was the right wing, Gao Ding was the forward, Li Rufeng was the rear army, and the whole army set off at noon tomorrow.
For Ling Jingyang's military order, the vast majority of soldiers obeyed, but there were also a few soldiers who did not want to travel a long distance, that night, there were hundreds of soldiers and thousands of people left Ningwu Pass, but in Ningwu Pass, the soldiers of the Dashun Army, heard that the army was about to go south to Huguang, did not harm others and himself like Sun Kewang, but also sent weapons and grain and grass to the Ming army, so that Ling Jingyang was very moved, he and Qin Lie and Huang Daozhong and other generals of the Dashun Army who came to say goodbye expressed their gratitude.
After saying goodbye to the generals of the Dashun Army, Ling Jingyang returned to the Governor's Mansion and ordered the officials of the Governor's Mansion to prepare for retreat tonight, and the officials of the Governor's Mansion replied in unison that there was no problem, because the retreat military order was issued very suddenly, and the vast majority of the people left in the city within a day, leaving more than 4,000 people, who followed Ling Jingyang southward with all their hearts, and Ling Jingyang let Wang Mu and other civil officials enter the people to give the people a sense of closeness.
After doing this, Ling Jingyang returned to the mansion where Wen Yuanyang lived, and as soon as he came to the courtyard, he saw Wen Budi, Qiao Delong and other four families, as well as Fan Honghuo and other businessmen, they were all waiting for Ling Jingyang to come back in the courtyard.
In Ningwu Pass
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
All the businessmen came to the courtyard, so that Ling Jingyang was a little surprised, Wen Yuanyang and Wen Bu this morning talked about the general going south to Huguang, Ling Du asked the businessmen to go to Huguang as well, after Wen Bu got the news, he immediately convened the businessmen in the city to discuss whether to go to Huguang?
Dozens of businessmen put interests first, the road from Shaanxi to Huguang is far away, there are other forces along the way, it is better to stay in Shanxi to continue to do business, this group of businessmen finally made the choice to abandon Ling Jingyang.
Wen Bu didn't let Wen Yuanyang stay, after all, there are twenty guards to protect Wen Yuanyang, if anyone dares to be rude to the Dudu woman, the guards don't care if you are the eldest brother-in-law or the younger brother-in-law, they all use big knives to serve.
When the meeting was held in the Ling Jingyang military camp, this group of businessmen came to Ling Jingyang's mansion, after Ling Jingyang came back, Wen Bu was Ling Jingyang's de facto brother-in-law, he represented everyone and Ling Jingyang to express his intentions, thinking that Jiannu retreated, central and southern Shanxi, as well as Henan, Shaanxi and other places are very suitable for trade, and the implication is that he does not want to go to Huguang.
Ling Jingyang's eyes blinked, and sure enough, the businessman valued profit over parting, and Mei Shaozuo on both sides of him immediately showed murderous intent, this group of businessmen who forgot their righteousness and profit, as long as Ling Jingyang gave him a gesture.
Cut down all these people today, Ling Jingyang smiled, and said to Wen Bu: "You and I have gone to war in various places, and we have also suffered a lot, today our army went to Huguang, you don't want to go, and the governor of Bendu does not force it, and my governor's mansion still has some materials that are inconvenient to take away, and they are sold to you at a discount." ”
Wen Buqi and the other merchants' faces suddenly showed a dark expression, Ling Jingyang asked Mei Shaozuo to sell the Governor's Mansion and the sundries in the warehouse to the merchants, and he used a pile of broken copper and iron to get 10,000 taels of silver from the merchants, but he also gave the merchants some good weapons so that they would not be unarmed.
Wen Budi and others knocked out their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs, a group of businessmen left Ningwuguan with a family in the afternoon of the same day, and after Ling Jingyang saw them off, he came to the backyard and saw Wen Mandarin Duck and usually cooked for him, he stepped forward and hugged Wen Mandarin Duck from the back.
"Mandarin ducks, can you ride horses?"
Ling Jingyang thought that the road to Huguang was indeed too far, so she gave Wen Yuanyang a horse and asked her to ride to Huguang, she didn't want Wen Yuanyang to blush, and her mind turned out to be a picture of her galloping on Ling Jingyang's body, she hesitated and said: "Official, don't make trouble in broad daylight." ”
