Chapter 61: Contradictions

After Chang Ning arrived, he first learned from Nian Qianyao about the reason why Dorji suddenly appeared in Manchuria.

It turned out that on that day, thanks to Suo Etu's insistence, Geldan's fraudulent surrender was carried out. First, Geldan swore an oath in front of the two armies, saying that he would belong to the Qing court and never betray, and then, he said that the army of Zhun Geer needed to be appeased, and asked the Qing army to send someone of sufficient weight into the camp to express it...... At the same time, Geldan also expressed his willingness to send his son-in-law Musal as a hostage in the Qing army.

As a result, Suo Etu once again hit the trick and sent the meritorious Tong Guogang into Geerdan's military camp. As a result, Tong Guogang was captured by Musar halfway. After that, Suo Etu and others learned that although Musar was Geldan's son-in-law, he was not a Mongolian nobleman who inherited the power of his family under normal circumstances, and he was also the most famous warrior in Western Mongolia, single-handedly bringing out thousands of elite warriors. However, even if this was known, it was too late.

Geldan took Tong Guogang as a hostage and asked the Qing army to give way and let him go back to Mobei.

You must know that Tong Guogang, as Kangxi's uncle and the brother of Minister Tong Guowei, although he doesn't have much ability, his status is not trivial. Feiyanggu and Fuquan, as well as Suo Etu, don't have the courage to ignore his life, but if Geldan is released, it will definitely be a dead end. It's a pity that Geerdan didn't have that much time to wait, and seeing that Feiyanggu and the others didn't say anything, he sent someone to use Tong Guogang as a shield to lead the army to retreat north!

"Faced with this situation, Feijunmen and the others don't know what to do, but at this time, the Wujunmen in front of the emperor has arrived!" Nian Qianyao said again: "Originally, Wujunmen was to send an edict for the emperor, but after seeing the situation at that time, he was so angry that he scolded Tong Guogang for being incompetent in front of the two armies, and as a result, Tong Guogang may have been full of remorse, and he hit the scimitar of the Junggar sergeant next to him and committed suicide!" ”

"Tong Guogang committed suicide?"

"yes, he's a bloody man, too! Otherwise, just because he was captured, even if he could be rescued in the future, he would not have the face to live in the world! Maybe it will affect the Tong family, even if it is Tong Xiangye, it will definitely be difficult to escape the involvement! Nian Qianyao said indifferently, but there was no trace of sympathy on his face.

"Yes, the prime minister's brother actually became a prisoner, and he is miserable enough! ......" Chang Ning sighed, he didn't expect that there were still people in the imperial family who were more unlucky than him, which made his heart balance a little.

"General Nian, why is this Dorji here again?" Yu Zhong asked.

"Who are you......" Nian Qianyao is not yet twenty years old now, but he has already achieved the rank of guerrilla general from the fourth rank with his ability, so he is naturally arrogant. Originally, Chang Ning brought a thousand old and weak soldiers here who seemed to him to be just waste, which already made him very unhappy, but it was only because Chang Ning was a prince that he had to be polite. However, where did Yu Zhong come from? What is it for? Therefore, he even believed in his heart that this was a group of old soldiers, all to take a walk on the battlefield, and by the way, to get his advantage and make some military achievements. Because of this, he was very polite to Yu Zhong's answer.

"Hehe, my name is Yu Zhong, his name is Ma De, General Nian is young and promising, it's really amazing, hahaha......" Although he knew that Nian Qianyao was proud, arrogant and even arrogant, Yu Zhong still didn't expect him to speak so politely. However, Yu Zhong thought that he really wanted to get cheap, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Yes, General Nian, how will the battle be in the future?" Chang Ning looked at Nian Qianyao with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, after all, Yu Zhong and Ma De were the people he brought, but the main force on the scene was Nian Qianyao's army, and he couldn't reprimand him directly, so he changed the topic.

"Well, as soon as Tong Guogang died, the war broke out! Geldan ordered the Junggar army to break through from the northwest with all its might, and Feijunmen commanded the army to fight slowly and quickly, relying on the advantage of artillery, and blocked it with all its might, and the battle situation between the two armies was stalemate for a while, and later, the 70,000 follow-up troops in the northwest of Feijunmen arrived in time, and Geldan saw that he couldn't rush out, so he had to turn to the east to break through! ”

"Feijunmen led a large army in pursuit, and Geldan's baggage was destroyed in that battle, and within a few days, our army won a series of battles ......"

"Later, Geldan met Satido's soldiers and horses again, and when Satidu saw that his whole army was tired, he took advantage of the situation to divide his troops and launch an attack in three directions!" Nian Qianyao paused when he said this, and then continued: "At that time, I led the army to arrive just in time, and I saw that one part of the Junggar army rushed out because the right wing of the Fengtian army horse could not be in place in time, so I led my troops to chase after it! …… I never thought that this Dorji was bold enough to keep coming towards Manchuria, and I didn't dare to relax, so I kept catching up. …… Finally, by luck, we finally caught up with them here! ”

Sighing out, Nian Qianyao finished speaking.

"General, how are you going to attack this Dorji?" Mader asked again.

"I have my own plans, don't bother! ......" Nian Qianyao said coldly, Yu Zhong is a "cripple", and Ma De is a little white face in his eyes.

"Huh? That's right, good, good, that's good, then everything has a working general! …… It's just, I wonder if we can help? Ma Depi gritted his teeth and smiled without smiling, there is a way to reach out and not hit a smiling person, I have never seen this kind of uneducated! He cursed in his heart.

"Help? No need, the two adults can go back with someone first, I don't need these soldiers......" Nian Qianyao became more and more unpolite.

"General Nian, what do you mean by that? Yu Zhong and Ma De are both commanders, and their official positions are higher than you, so you'd better be polite! Chang Ning couldn't stand it, and finally began to get angry, Nian Qianyao's attitude towards the two horses always made him feel like he was targeting himself.

“…… It turned out that the two were all 'adults', and Nian was rude! Although Chang Ning spoke, Nian Qianyao was still like that, ignoring Zhonghe Ma De, but his eyes didn't even look at anyone.

"Nian Qianyao!" Chang Ning let out a muffled roar.

"Lord Wang, the minions chased and suppressed Dorji, don't dare to make a mistake, if you offend, please also ask the prince and the two 'adults' Haihan!" Nian Qianyao is still "neither humble nor arrogant"! He didn't think of putting a prince who was about to fall in his eyes, because his master was the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, and the current fourth elder brother and the prince were very close, not to mention, which sentence of him was rude to Chang Ning?

"Lord Wang," Ma De saw that Chang Ning was on the verge of an outbreak, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve, and leaned into his ear and said, "Lord Wang, control your anger!" ”

"Anger?" Chang Ning turned his head to look at Ma De, and when he saw Ma De's dissuasive eyes, his heart calmed down a little, although he was still very annoyed with Nian Qianyao, but his tone had calmed down, although there was already a murderous aura in it, "Nian Guerrilla, this king wants to hear how you plan to clean up that Dorji!" …… Moreover, this king also hopes that your method is better not to let that guy affect every grass and tree in Mukden! ”

"Of course you can," Nian Qianyao said lightly: "The slave plans to get out of the way of the three roads and let Dorji go down the mountain......"

"Put Dorji down the mountain?"

"That's right!" Seeing Chang Ning's shocked look at his tactics, Nian Qianyao's face did not show the slightest emotional fluctuation, but just put on a cold face and asked, "Could it be that the prince doesn't agree?" ”

"Of course not!" Chang Ning shouted without thinking about it, "If you let this Dorji go down the mountain, with the speed of his cavalry, it will be difficult to destroy, at that time, he ravaged Manchuria, the emperor blamed it, you don't want to live?" ”

"Lord Wang, why bother? Since General Nian said so, he must have his thoughts, why don't you listen to it? Ma De saw that Chang Ning intended to go berserk again, so he had to persuade him. In fact, although he was very unhappy with Nian Qianyao, he and Yu Zhong still had much greater confidence in Nian Qianyao than Chang Ning.

"Okay, this king will listen to it 'well', Nian Qianyao, you'd better give this king a reasonable explanation!" Chang Ning shouted at Nian Qianyao, he originally wanted to have a good talk with Nian Qianyao, but this Nian Qianyao was too disrespectful, first rude, and now he actually wanted to let Dorji go down the mountain......

"Yes!" Nian Qianyao glanced at Ma De in surprise, and was a little surprised by the composure shown by this man after hearing his plan, after all, if Dorji really wreaked havoc on Manchuria, all the people present would be dead.

"It seems that this Chang Ning's subordinates are not all waste!" After glancing at Yu Zhong, who was also "calm", Nian Qianyao made such a conclusion in his heart, and then he began to talk to Chang Ning: "The reason why the slave wants to let Dorji go down the mountain is because he has a cannon ...... in his hand."

"Cannons?" Hearing the word "cannon", Chang Ning turned his head to look at Ma De and Yu Zhong, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. It must have been their thirty-four cupolas.

Sure enough, Nian Qianyao continued: "This is the cupola cannon they grabbed on the way, although we were chasing it very quickly at that time, and the team of the protective cannon also fought back with all their might, but these cannons still fell into their hands!" …… This cupola has a long range and great power, and it is condescending from the mountain, if we get closer, we will definitely become their target, but if it is far away, it is equivalent to letting go of the intersection. Now that Dorji has been running for a few days and nights, he is resting, and we can still block the crossing, but when he is rested, we will not be so lucky! Therefore, instead of being beaten, it is better to let go of a road and concentrate your forces to break it when the enemy army rushes down the mountain! ”

"Since this Dorji can lead people out of the encirclement, he must have some ability, and his subordinates are probably mostly elite, General Nian, we only have more troops with them, even if we can defeat them, can we destroy them?" Mader asked.

"Yes, it's too risky. It is very likely that this Dorji will take advantage of this gecko to break off its tail and escape again, at that time, you will not have such good luck to block him again! Chang Ning said coldly.

"General Nian, otherwise, we can dig more trenches at the intersection of the mountain, since it is to block the enemy cavalry from rushing down the mountain, it can also allow the soldiers to avoid the artillery...... We will be consumed with this Dolji, I see that there is nothing to eat and drink on that hill, we will starve him for a few days and nights, and at that time, I don't believe that he can still stop us......" I don't want to be underestimated, Yu Zhongda said in a big way.

"Trenches? Cannons can crack rocks, and only trenches can prevent shelling? Why haven't I heard of it? Nian Qianyao felt that Yu Zhong and Ma De were cooperating with Chang Ning to find trouble for themselves, and he was even more disgusted.

"General Nian, the trench can indeed conceal the soldiers and reduce the casualties caused by artillery bombardment, which has been demonstrated in practice...... In my opinion, there is some truth in Yu Dutong's words, what do you think? Mader added.

"Even if you haven't gone through any practice, you can't let go!" Without waiting for Nian Qianyao to answer, Chang Ning said impatiently: "Anyway, you must not let this Dorji go down the mountain!" ”

"No, Dorji must lower the mountain!" Nian Qianyao said stiffly.

"Why?" Chang Ning asked in a dark voice.

"Lord Wang," Nian Qianyao said unhurriedly, "Although this mountain is not big, there are thousands of people and thousands of 'horses' on it. How many of them are enough of a horse's flesh and blood? Hmph, if the mountain is really sealed, when will we wait for him to be hungry and have no strength? At that time, what should we do if another defeated army of Dzungar suddenly arrives in Manchuria? "What's more, if you don't hurry, the big battle in the west won't be your turn," Nian thought.

“…… That can't let them go down the mountain! We also brought cannons, so we can bombard them, but we would rather wait a while longer than let them go, they, them, down, and mountain! Chang Ning was also ruthless, and Nian Qianyao's words couldn't scare him.

"Lord Wang, it seems that General Nian's plan just now has not been finished, do you want him to talk about it again......?" Ma De pulled Chang Ning's clothes again and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, everyone has their own thoughts, whose method is suitable, we can also discuss it again, what is this called? That's right, set ...... Brainstorming, brainstorming......"

"Brainstorming!" Seeing Yu Zhong pretending to be stupid, Ma De kicked him lightly.

"Good! Nian Qianyao, this king will listen to your method 'well', don't let this king 'disappoint'! Chang Ning knew that Ma De was reminding him not to go too far, and he also knew that the main forces here were brought by Nian Qianyao, although he could seize the command, but he might not be able to command him, so although Nian Qianyao had a bad attitude, he still gave the other party a face.

"Of course I won't disappoint the prince!" It's not the first time that Nian Qianyao can't think of it, Chang Ning in front of him, as well as his two subordinates, actually took a step back in front of his toughness, which is really rare for a person of Chang Ning's status, but it's better to do this, and he is already lazy to talk to these people, so he said: "Lord, there is a Hun River in Fengtian, from the northeast to the southwest, very close to here, the idea of the slave is to let go of the southeast intersection of this hill, attack from both sides, and force Dorji into this Hun River......"

"Flooding?"

"That's right, it's flooding!"

"Then we'll have to keep the other two roads guarded!" Yu Zhong said again, "General Nian, if you want to block the other two roads, you will definitely divide your troops, but in that case, the soldiers and horses you use to force Dorji into the Hunhe River will not be enough!" ”

"I didn't plan to divide the troops, hmph, although there are not many trees on this mountain, but there is grass, such as today's dry things, it is a good time to set fires......" Nian Qianyao showed a mouthful of white teeth, and Sen Senran was a little scary.

“…… This idea seems to be good, but ......" Chang Ning shook his head and said: "The other party is cavalry, although they can't use cannons when they are marching, but they are also elite after all, Nian Qianyao, how can you guarantee that you will be able to force them into the Hunhe River?" Can't Dorji break through your barrier? …… You're too confident, aren't you? ”

"The prince can't believe me!" Nian Qianyao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly turned to look at one of his personal soldiers, and asked coldly, "Zhang Xing, how many times have we fought Dorji all the way?" ”

"Go back to the general, seven times!"

"Seven times! How many games did we win? ”

"Seven battles and seven victories, more than 3,000 enemies were killed, and more than 1,000 brothers were killed and wounded in our army!"

"Lord Wang!" Nian Qianyao turned his head to look directly at Chang Ning again, "There are more than 3,000 elite minions, if you can't even stop Dorji's soldiers and horses...... I won't have the face to come back to see you alive! ”

……

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Nian Qianyao was obviously dissatisfied with Chang Ning's suspicion of the combat effectiveness of his troops, and then looking at the eyes of his own soldiers looking at Chang Ning, it was also fierce enough......

"Hahaha, the soldiers under General Nian are really powerful, and they can actually be one against three, it's really rare...... In that case, Lord Wang, let's do what General Nian said, what do you think? Ma De's grin was a little ugly, but, unexpectedly, Chang Ning suddenly smiled,

"Okay, General Nian, since you have a bamboo in your chest, this king is waiting for you to play a triumphant song! At that time, this king must find you a palace in Mukden as a temporary residence! ”

After saying that, no one paid attention to it, turned around and left!

……

"This, General Nian, what should we do with the men and horses we brought?" Seeing Chang Ning leave without paying attention to anyone, Ma De and Yu Zhong were at a loss for a while, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with this prince. However, since they came, they always had to ask for an errand, so the two turned to Nian Qianyao again.

"Everything must be taken precaution, since the two adults are interested, let's bring some soldiers and horses to prevent the other two ways down the mountain, this general just gathers more soldiers and horses to attack Dorji......" Nian Qianyao glanced at the two of them coldly, and put down such a sentence, the contempt in it is really obvious.

“…… Uhhahaha, General Nian really takes care of us, okay, let's do it! Ma De smiled and pulled Yu Zhong towards his team.

……

"Damn, this kid is rampant enough, now it's like this, no wonder he will be slaughtered by Yongzheng if he makes great achievements in the future! …… It's a egg - it stinks on all sides! After going far, Yu Zhong finally started to complain.

"Come on, what are you angry with him? ......" Ma De smiled, patted Yu Zhong's shoulder, and said, "This guy will be cleaned up sooner or later, hum!" Don't you see that Chang Ning guy is very angry? Hey, I'm just afraid that this kid will slack off and put Dorji in Mukden to mess around so that he doesn't get angry,...... I will definitely trouble him in the future! Besides, even if Chang Ning doesn't clean him up, can't we clean him up? Damn, I don't know what kind of thing this guy is? is greedy to death, although he doesn't eat much of the soldiers' vacancies, but he dares to do anything to kill people and sell goods, and when the time comes, he doesn't need anything else, find a few imperial envoys to participate in a few books for him, and just one training of soldiers is enough for him to drink a few pots...... Damn, look down on me? He doesn't know what Lao Tzu does, nothing else, Lao Tzu stinks him, let the people know, see how he is promoted! ”

The two of them scolded and walked away!

It's just that neither Ma De, Yu Zhong, nor Nian Qianyao and Chang Ning thought that it was just because of a small omission that this war would completely change the predetermined trajectory! Protagonist...... It's no longer Nian Qianyao!
