The sixty-ninth round: On the way to withdraw troops

Zu Tianshou led the army to the front.

After receiving the news from the heralds, Su Xiaojing led the Fengzi battalion to protect the baggage troops.

"What's going on behind the scenes?" Zu Tianshou asked in surprise.

Zu Tianle said: "It's not an accident. Instead, General Yang found that there were many children in the baggage troops, and he and his guards did not have enough horses, so he transferred the Fengzi battalion back. ”

"Oh." Zu Tianshou couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the Jinzhou soldiers are so hard-working!" ”

After that, Zu Tianshou turned over and dismounted, handed over the horse to the guard, and asked him to send the horse to Yang Chengying.

Zu Tianle and Zu Tianchun, as well as a hundred families under their command, also did the same.

Without their mounts, the brothers marched on foot.

Zu Tianle asked meaningfully as he walked: "Big brother, you deliberately show favor, do you plan to continue working under him?" ”

"There are two paths before me. One is to continue to work with him, and the other is to tie up the court through Fang Xun. ”

Zu Tianshou analyzed as he walked: "Following the imperial court, I am hungry for nine meals in three days. Follow him, and I won't starve. ”

"However, I see that the inspector has a lot of dissatisfaction with him, I am afraid...... When we return to the Golden State, these contradictions will erupt. Zu Tianle worried.

"Are you afraid I'll get involved?" Zu Tianshou asked rhetorically.

Zu Tianle nodded.

The Zu family lives in Liaodong all the year round, and has seen too much from the time of Li Chengliang to now.

Not to mention the distance, let's just say that Lai Yungang, a thousand households in Wulianghai, sent his second uncle Python Jin to attack the surroundings of Ningyuan and loot on a large scale.

The general Guo Youzhong led the army to expel him, but he fell for the trick of python gold to lure the enemy, was defeated, and died in battle.

Zu Tianshou, who was originally ordered to respond, led the army to retreat when he saw that everyone was dead and took a fart.

How do you know that the python gold is biting and catching up with Zu Tianshou's soldiers and horses in Caozhuangyi.

At that time, Zu Tianshou took a few family members out hunting without knowing it.

As a result, as soon as Python Jin arrived, the Ming army was defeated due to the loss of command.

Zu Tianshou was frightened, so he ran to kowtow to Yang Hao, who was the governor of Liaodong at the time, and begged him to hide it and not report it.

Yang Haonian has a friendship with his father Zu Chengxun, and Zu Tianshou himself is also brave and good at fighting, so he agreed.

As a result, this defeat directly brought a mess of impeachment to Yang Ho.

mixed all kinds of rumors into this true story, which led to Yang Hao's departure from Liaodong for the first time.

Looking back on the past, Zu Tianshou said: "Today is different from the past, I see that he has a lot of ghost ideas, and I don't have to worry about this aspect at all." It's you and Brother Chun, be careful, don't be pulled by the patrol. ”

Zu Tianle said with a smile: "Our brothers are all from Liaodong, and they follow the imperial court, and at most they will be the chief military officer. Or the kind of chief military officer who doesn't have much real power, what's the point. ”

"It's still important to be fed." Zu Tianchun added.

The three brothers laughed.

Night falls, and the snow falls.

Yang Chengying gave up his tent to the children, and stood outside with his hands clasped around his body.

Keep stomping your feet.

It's cold!

Gongsun Sheng came over and wanted to give Yang Chengying the thin cotton clothes on his body, but he refused.

"You can dress yourself, I'm not afraid of the cold." Yang Chengying said while fighting with his teeth.

"General, you are cold like this, and you say that you are not afraid of the cold. I'm a local, and I'm used to the cold, so let's put on my cotton clothes. ”

Gongsun Sheng said that he wanted to drape the cotton clothes on Yang Chengying's body.

Yang Chengying took a step back and dodged: "Don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and put it on for me, otherwise I'll ...... I gave the military order. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Gongsun Sheng did not wear it either, but went into the tent and put a thin cotton coat over a child's body.

The child was already curled up and sleeping soundly.

When he came out, Yang Chengying noticed that he was not trembling at all, and looked at him in surprise.

"Where are you from?" Yang Chengying asked.

"I am Tieling, fled to Shenyang with the rout, and then went to Liaoyang, and was placed under the command of General Qi."

"General Qi is the Western Army, how can he take you in?"

"Hey, after so many years of fighting, how can there be such a fine score, what is the coach, what are we. Not to mention anything else, General Zu has a lot of Mongolian Yiding. ”

"That's right."

With the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty in the White Mountains and Black Waters, it was not only the Liaodong Army and the Western Army that came to the battlefield in Liaodong, but also the Tusi soldiers in the southwest.

The whole of Liaodong has become a hodgepodge.

"You're from a military family?" Yang Chengying asked again.

"No, I used to be an Orion." Gongsun Sheng replied.

"Then why did you become a military household?"

"Eat with a mouthful of food. At first, I thought I could eat a little full, but I didn't expect it...... It's worse than I used to be. Fortunately, he was the family member of General Qi, and finally had a full meal. ”

When he said this, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

It is estimated that he remembered Qi Bingzhong's death in battle.

Yang Chengying said: "The festival mourns and changes. When I expand in the future, let you lead me with troops. ”

"I repay the adults with death." Gongsun Sheng said excitedly.

"Not for me, but for thousands of ordinary people like you, and your family."

"I ...... I don't have any family. ”

"There will be in the future."

"Perhaps, the head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers, who knows when it will be gone."

Yang Chengying was stunned for a moment and looked at Gongsun Sheng.

Gongsun Sheng looked quite calm, as if the person who was going to be there was not him.

Gaizhou, commanding the yamen.

Liu Xingzuo used a horsewhip to dial the table in the main hall, and it was spotless.

"It didn't take long to go." Liu Xingzuo said.

"Are we chasing? Or report to the old Khan? Li Yongfang asked.

They were stationed at Fort Xinin, with the four beylers.

Hearing that Yang Chengying took the initiative to evacuate Gaizhou, Nurhachi sent the two of them to Gaizhou to inquire and report in time.

"Of course, it is to report to the old Khan king and ask him to decide."

Liu Xingzuo asked his younger brother to send a personal envoy to report to the Great Khan, who was withdrawing his army.

The strong enemy was not there, Li Yongfang relaxed and said with a smile: "Yang Chengying's strategy is really poisonous." You had talked to him alone, but the Khan was suspicious of me. ”

Liu Xingzuo smiled calmly: "You are wrong, it's not that King Khan really trusts me, if he really trusts, that incident won't happen." ”

He was referring to the fact that in the camp of Qianshan, the Great Khan deliberately mobilized a large army to prevent Liu Xingzuo's subordinates from mutiniing.

Li Yongfang smiled: "Hahaha...... This is the balance in my heart, it turns out that you and both are the same, both of them are the same as the old Khan King...... Dog! ”

"I'm going to congratulate you on having such self-knowledge." Liu Xingzuo sneered.

"Humph! You wait for me, and I will find out the evidence of your collusion with Daming. ”

"You should fear for your own safety until you find out."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that Sun Degong recommended his colleague Bao Chengxian to the Great Khan, and the Great Khan conferred the post of deputy general."

"They don't even have the qualifications to be dogs."

"The question is...... Being a dog is not based on qualifications, but on ability. ”

Hearing this, Li Yongfang frowned.

How there is a hint of his meaning in it.

Liu Xingzuo smiled slightly.

At this moment, loud footsteps sounded outside the door.

Eighth brother is here!
