Chapter 218: Shanhaiguan Township Yong (Second Watch)

Fang Guangchen gave him a half-elbow or an elbow, of course this kind of thing has to be decided by Wu Sangui, and the immortals are not sure whether Tang Tong and Bai Guangen will change or not?

Because the human heart is the most fickle and the most difficult to guess.

Otherwise, how can there be a saying that people know their faces but don't know their hearts, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know how to do things.

Fang Guangchen has read a lot, so of course he would not make such a low-level mistake in front of Wu Sangui.

He can give advice to Wu Sangui, but Wu Sangui has to make decisions about the general direction and decision-making, which is the way of a strategist.

He had to leave a way back for himself, which was Fang Guangchen's shrewdness, lest Wu Sangui be angry with him in the future.

Wu Sangui felt that what Fang Guangchen said was reasonable, and after thinking about it, now that he was employing people, he felt that the 20,000 soldiers and horses were still being used, so wouldn't he just give them a view of the city?

A small piece of Shiguan City is not enough to worry about!

Wu Sangui finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

When he returned to the front hall and saw the second general, Wu Sangui laughed, "The two generals have been waiting for a long time, please go back and tell Da Xuan and Guang En, saying that I, Wu Sangui, welcome the arrival of the two brothers, and ask the two brothers to settle in a Shiguan City immediately."

Liu Chongxi and Zhou Qing were overjoyed, Wu Sangui finally took the bait, and Wu Sangui couldn't escape His Majesty's serial schemes no matter how ghostly he was.

"In this way, the two of us have thanked my uncle on behalf of the chief soldier. In addition, Liu Zongmin's team has arrived in Yongping, this person is strong in martial arts, brave in killing, and is the number one fierce general under Li Zicheng, this time the commander of 40,000 troops as a striker is not good, and the uncle still made a decision early."

Liu Chongxi and Zhou Qing can be regarded as giving Wu Sangui a late important military situation, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to lure Wu Sangui to fight the Dashun army as soon as possible, and Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty is still waiting there!

Although Wu Sangui had already received a report on this, Wu Sangui felt that his decision was correct, and with Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, the 20,000 soldiers and horses, joining forces to face off against Li Zicheng at Shanhaiguan, he felt more confident in his heart.

When it was time to eat, Wu Sangui asked Gao Di to accompany the two generals, and also had a meal of wine and meat.

In the face of the sumptuous banquet, these two people were indeed greedy, they had not eaten like this since Zunhua, but these two people only ate a full meal, and they did not dare to drink for fear of making a mistake.

After the meal. After sending off the second general, Wu Sangui, Gao Di and Fang Guangchen began to discuss the matter of Xiang Yong.

Xiang Yong is the local regimental training arm, not the regular army of the imperial court, but it is not one of those strong men who are caught on the spot and patted on the head.

Because these townsmen are all selected from the locality, the regiment trains the army, the land is farmed in peacetime, the soldiers are trained in their free time, and when there is a shortage of soldiers in the war, they are let go into battle.

It is equivalent to the militia reserve of later generations.

Moreover, the township courage of Shanhaiguan is different from the general township bravery.

This was brought by Wu Sangui from outside the gate.

Wu Sangui's predecessor was the regimental training chief, and later he was promoted to the Ningyuan commander-in-chief, and he was very good at training the township braves.

The people he chose were all local Liao people, not to mention the sturdy, they were all trained by some people who could fight with a martial arts foundation and were tough.

His invincible Guan Ning Army grew up on this basis.

A month ago, when Zhu Youzhen ordered him to enter the King of Weiqin, he crowned him as Ping Xibo.

He gave up Ningyuan City and took his Guanning army with him to protect the internal migration of 200,000 soldiers and civilians outside the Guan, which is also the reason why he marched into the snail.

Wu Sangui did this not because he loved the people like a son.

It's because he has selfish intentions, his Guanning army is not much, there are only 5,000 Guanning iron cavalry, and the other generals are only more than 40,000 horses.

Now the Ming Dynasty is like a lamp in the mouth, the world is in chaos, and there is everything if there is an army. Wu Sangui understands this truth, coupled with the plan of the great strategist Fang Guangchen.

Wu Sangui's heart is higher than the sky.

Because he doesn't have many regular troops, these 200,000 civilians. It is the source of his generals and the bargaining chips he has in his game with the imperial court and other warlords.

It is a matter of his political future, of course, these 200,000 residents cannot be left behind, as for the speed of arriving at King Qinwang in the capital, it is the second thing for him.

When Wu Sanguibing arrived in Yutian, he heard that Chongzhen had hanged himself, so he was ready to go it alone, under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

But the Dashun army put a lot of pressure on him, and his family was in the capital, so he planned to temporarily surrender Li Zicheng, but he didn't expect Liu Zongmin to rob his little concubine Chen Yuanyuan, so he had to turn his face with the Dashun army.

In the face of the surging hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops, Wu Sangui made many preparations, joined forces to help suppress, strengthened the city defense, showed weakness, paralyzed the other party, and put on a posture of planning to surrender, but when Li Zicheng really negotiated with him, he refused to surrender, killing time and striving for the most favorable opportunity.

But these Fang Guangchen felt that it was not enough, the Dashun army is said to have come with 300,000, Shanhaiguan only has 20,000 horses, plus more than 40,000 people brought by Wu Sangui from Ningyuan, it is less than 70,000, and the disparity is huge.

Wu Sangui nodded sympathetically, right now Li Zicheng has 300,000 horses, but now Henan and Shaanxi are his world, and his men and horses are no less than one million, how can he fight with these tens of thousands of horses?

Wu Sangui suddenly remembered his 200,000 residents and hurriedly recruited Xiang Yong

These 200,000 residents are grateful for Wu Sangui's relocation and protection, so they have corresponding, and Gao Di is also recruiting in the Shanhaiguan area.

Within a few days, 20,000 villagers were recruited, and these villagers had a certain military quality. Although it is not as good as the regular army, it can be pulled out in case of emergency.

20,000 Xiangyong, Wu Sangui let the deputy general Leng Yundeng take command.

It came in handy right now.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
