Chapter 66: The Hero Loses His Way
"Nonsense!" After reading the military situation, Huang Taiji slapped the table.
"How can there be any reason why you haven't seen the enemy army and fired artillery on the open ground, it must be that the gunpowder of the Ming Kingdom was not stored well, and it exploded again."
The other Eight Banner Masters agreed, but Dolgon pursed his lips and suggested, "Great Khan, don't ignore it at this time, even if it's just an accident, it also shows that the Ming Kingdom does have actions in the Daling River region. ”
"The minister thinks that it is better to strengthen the surveillance of the Daling River and the right tun of Guangning, and if there is indeed a movement to build a wall, we can march as soon as possible and extinguish it at the source."
Huang Taiji nodded, and said with a contemptuous smile, "It's okay, when my Eight Banners Bayala Camp and the Han Army Banner are completed, and when the Ming Kingdom has just completed the construction of the city, it can also be done." ”
"In this way, Yuan Chonghuan is bound to be in a dilemma, and he will suffer the greatest loss."
When everyone heard this, they all showed admiration.
Sure enough, if you want to engage in this kind of conspiracy, it is still the Great Khan who is doing it!
Liaodong is temporarily fine, and it is said that Wang Jiayin, the king of chaos in the northwest, encountered a hard stubble after separating from Gao Yingxiang.
At this time, the most abundant grain places in Shanxi are Pingyang Mansion and Zezhou Mansion.
But after entering Pingyang Mansion, Wang Jiayin found that the situation here was completely different from that in northern Shaanxi!
At this time, Shanxi had gradually recovered from the drought, so there were not many victims to serve as soldiers.
At the same time, due to the more prosperous literary style in Shanxi, the gentry were far more powerful than in northern Shaanxi.
After a village called Dou Zhuang survived the attack of the peasant army by holding on to the towers, the gentry of Binh Duong began to follow suit, and various towers began to spring up.
The Jin people have a tough temperament and are good at fighting hard. Although Wang Jiayin has tens of thousands of people, there are many people who take advantage of the situation to eat together, and too few are willing to take the lead in battle, so he has suffered repeated setbacks in the Pingyang realm.
It was the end of the year, but there was no rice in the army, and everyone was hungry and screaming. The Jin army led by Chen Qiyu also came up many times, which made Wang Jiayin's subordinates suffer a lot.
On this day, Wang Jiayin was locking himself in a small courtyard and drinking alcohol, but he heard someone slamming the door.
"Who?" Wang Jiayin spoke.
"Brother, it's my Zijin Liang King's own use."
Wang Jiayin reluctantly got up and opened the door for the other party. "It's just in time, let's drink two cups of Fenjiu together."
"Okay, why didn't you drink before noon?"
Wang Jiayin glanced at the other party angrily, which made Wang Ziyong, who originally intended to ridicule, a little embarrassed.
He sat down and poured himself a cup. "I'm here to tell you that I've grabbed food."
"Really? Have you captured the stockade built by the old men? ”
"Nope." Wang smashed his mouth and poured himself another cup.
"In order to surrender, more than half of our firearms, bows and arrows have been confiscated. Condescendingly, what do you have left with two arms to fight them? ”
"It was a handful of villagers from nearby mountain villages, too far away from the county seat and the big village, so they hid in caves to take refuge, and were discovered by the small ones who were hunting wild food."
When Wang Jiayin heard this, he was immediately a little discouraged, "How much food can I grab?" ”
Wang Ziyong sighed, "It's not much, it's their rations." ”
"There are also those who are bold and want to join the gang after being robbed. I told them that we don't have enough to eat, so let them go to the government to ask for food. ”
Wang Jiayin shook his head, "How many days is the food this time?" ”
"If you eat three meals in two days, you can last five days. Bastard King, I didn't say that you have to stand up, the brothers are still counting on you. ”
"Originally, you said that when you arrived in Shanxi, you wouldn't be worried about not being able to grab food, but now we are not as good as our hometown."
Wang Jiayin was poked in the sore spot, snatched the wine jug, and drank the rest of the bottom of the jug.
"I shouldn't have agreed to divide King Chuang with him in the first place, without King Chuang's old battalions, there are always shortcomings in attacking the city. Seeing that he was about to take it, he just couldn't hold that breath. ”
"At the moment, there are still two roads, one is to go back to my hometown. Although there is little food, it is not impossible to get rid of the old and weak and keep only the elite. ”
King Zijin Liang shook his head, "What's left in my hometown?" Except for those difficult counties, even the bark has been gnawed away. ”
"I heard the news that after King Chuang returned, he had no choice but to fight several battles with the new governor in a row. I'm not going back. ”
"If you don't want to go back, you can only go over Taihang Mountain and go to the Central Plains to grab a wave."
When Wang Ziyong heard this, his eyes lit up first, and then he showed a hesitant look.
"The Central Plains is much fatter than our northwest, but there is a flat river there, and I am afraid that I can't hide it when I arrive!"
"I think so too. Moreover, the city of Henan may not be so dilapidated, if you can't capture the county seat, get the county government and the warehouses of the rich households, you will also have to run out of food. ”
Wang Jiayin sighed, "Zijin Liang, I've been thinking about it for the past few days, but I just don't know which way we should go next. ”
"Sometimes I even doubt myself, what if Chen Qiyu really surrendered at that time?"
Wang Ziyong sneered.
"Surrender? Those dog officers may tolerate the brothers below to continue to go back and work for them, but they will definitely not tolerate us. ”
"Hundreds of people under King Tota have been killed by him."
"There is that Wang Yangming in the distance, isn't it just to deceive people to go to the Dao Palace for the New Year, and then kill all the brains?"
When Wang Jiayin heard this, he sighed and stood up with his hands behind his back, obviously extremely tormented in his heart.
Wang Ziyong saw that the other party was impetuous, and patted him on the shoulder.
"The old man in charge of the camp, you can rest assured that you will make up your mind, and everyone will follow you."
"As a subordinate, it's easy to shout twice today. There is a way of life and death, and success or failure is in the sky. Even if there are knife mountains all over the road ahead, let's go through them together!"
"Good!" Wang Jiayin finally got rid of the gloomy look after being hit repeatedly, "Then we will go to Zezhou and prepare to go to Henan from Taihang Bajing." ”
"It just so happens that my brother-in-law is from Shanxi, and he often sells aged vinegar back and forth, and he is familiar with the Taihang Mountain Road."
Wang Ziyong's face was suspicious, "How many years have you been a bachelor, where did you come from?" ”
Wang Jiayin touched the back of his head, "Haha, my daughter-in-law is also a new person after I came to Pingyang Mansion." Isn't it freezing and lacking a warm bed? ”
Wang Ziyong also showed a knowing smile when he heard this, "Okay, you are a bastard king, you are really a bastard." Do a good job, and do not invite the brothers to drink wine, and give you a rush. ”
Wang Jiayin pushed him out of the door, "I don't know about you yet, if I invite you to come, it will be endless for several nights, and the little food left will be wasted." ”
"You hurry up and inform the old man to return to a few of them, I will ask my brother-in-law to go to the surrounding Zhuangzi to collect some cooked salt, and as soon as he comes back, we will plan to go to the Taihang Mountain Road."
Wang Ziyong laughed and parted ways with Wang Jiayin, but what Wang Jiayin didn't know was that his brother-in-law was now bowing down in front of Cao Wenzhao, the deputy chief soldier of Daming Shanxi.
