In the cold wind, Wujiayuanzi banners were everywhere, and there were Qing troops with braids everywhere.

On the wall, dozens of Qing army generals are clustering one person and looking out towards the mountains in the east.

The person at the head was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Western Front to encircle and suppress the Qing army - Zheng Jiaolin, the governor of Sichuan.

This person was originally the military capital of Ming Guanning, and he has been sticking to Shanhaiguan with Wu Sangui.

After the Qing army entered the customs, Zheng Jiaolin also followed Wu Sangui to suppress the peasant army and the Ming Dynasty, and was recommended by Wu Sangui to the Qing court as the governor of Sichuan because of his military exploits.

Together with Wang Fuchen, the governor of Pingliang, and Li Benshen, the governor of Guizhou, he was recognized as the three fierce generals under Wu Sangui's account.

In the first year of Kangxi, Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, asked the Qing court to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Ming army in Kuidong, Zheng Jiaolin has been commanding the Qing army in Sichuan on the front line against the enemy, and has won several great victories and annihilated more than 20,000 Ming troops, which can be described as Li Guoying's right-hand man.

His outstanding command ability also reassured Li Guoying that he was entrusted with full command of the whole army.

After Chen Jiapo repelled the counterattack deployed by Liu Tichun in the first battle, Zheng Jiaolin has been brewing an offensive against Wu Jiayuanzi, so as to completely disintegrate the defense line deployed by Liu Tichun around this place.

Only the heavy snow fell from the sky, so that the Qing army's transportation was trapped, and then it was stopped.

Who knows that good things will fall from heaven - chaos within the Ming army!

The news was that Hu Jungui, the general soldier of the Ming Hanging Seal who escaped from Wujiayuanzi, said it to Zheng Jiaolin in person.

At first, Zheng Jiaolin was not gullible, but as more and more Ming troops came to the Qing army camp from Wujiayuanzi to ask for surrender, he finally realized that the opportunity to break Liu Tichun was in front of him.

And it's effortless!

Zheng Jiaolin, who had always been quick with his troops, did not wait for the Governor's message to arrive, so he ordered all his troops and horses to drive to Wujiayuanzi.

After arriving, the Ming army had already dispersed and the camp was empty.

It can be described as ten years of operation, once abandoned.

However, when the Ming army left, all the houses and useful materials in Yuanzi were burned down, forcing Zheng Jiaolin to order the general Liang Jiaqi to cut down trees on the spot and rebuild shacks that could be used for living.

Otherwise, the soldiers will not be able to bear it if they sleep outside in the cold.

In addition to the more than 13,000 Chongkui and Jianchang green battalion soldiers commanded by Cheng Tingjun, the chief soldier of Chongkui Town, Liang Jiaqi, the chief soldier of the Fu Suppression Bureau, the Qing army that arrived at Wujiayuanzi with Zheng Jiaolin, there were more than 14,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Tan Yi, Marquis of Xianghua, Tan Hong, and Feng Qifeng, the commander of Xinhua Bo.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians were also recruited.

Compared with the Ming army, which lacked food and clothing, the Qing army was very well-equipped, and carried more than 100 large and small artillery, and its ability to attack fortified positions far exceeded that of the Ming army.

After inspecting the ruins of Yuanzi, Zheng Jiaolin saw the beheaded Tian Shouyi and Suo Yanlong.

Looking at these two old opponents who intended to surrender but were tragically killed, Zheng Jiaolin sighed for a while.

Then he took everyone to climb the heights to inspect the surrounding terrain, and after studying the map, he suddenly asked Hu Jungui, the general standing beside him: "Who is the Wang Wu you are talking about, why has this official never heard of such a person among the thieves?" ”

Hu Jungui, who had already shaved his hair, hurriedly said: "Back to the army, the last general is not very familiar with this person, only knows that it is Tian Shouyi's subordinates. ”

I don't know if he was in too much of a hurry when he shaved his hair, or because the person who helped him shave his hair was not skilled, Hu Zongbing obviously had a few small cuts on his forehead and the back of his head.

As soon as the wind blew, the wound hurt as if it had been sprinkled with salt.

I didn't dare to frown.

"Although the Ming family is dead, the hearts of the people are clear, there are always a few men among the thieves. If Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and others are big thieves, then this Wang Wu is a little thief, but unfortunately the general trend of the world is how they can block the car with their mantis arms. ”

Zheng Jiaolin's words have their own emotional meaning.

Back then, he was also a Ming minister.

After hearing this, Hu Jungui hurriedly said: "What the military gate said is very true! The last general knows that the general trend is irreversible, so he abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and is willing to work for the Qing Dynasty! ”

After glancing at this newly descended person, Zheng Jiaolin said lightly: "The imperial court is extremely lenient to you, and you will have the courage to work hard in the future." ”

"Huh!"

Hu Jungui replied heavily, and waited cautiously to the side like a minion.

This appearance made Mu Yihou Tan Yi in the crowd extremely despised, but he thought that he was so humble to that Li Guoying at the beginning.

It's really the eldest brother laughing at the second brother, it's very boring.

Standing side by side with him, Xianghua Marquis Tan Hong was expressionless, and after his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he was first awarded the general officer of northern Sichuan, under the command of Wu Sangui, and then the general of northern Sichuan was transferred to the southwest, and was promoted by Wu Sangui to the Qing court as the general soldier of Sichuan because of his merits.

Like Zheng Jiaolin, he is highly valued by Wu Sangui, and he is also Wu Sangui's confidant in Sichuan Green Camp.

Feng Qifeng, the Xinhua Bo who had just descended to the Qing Dynasty not long ago, thought about it in the crowd, took two steps forward and said softly: "Yujunmen, since Wujiayuanzi has fallen into the hands of our army, the last general thinks that he should immediately send troops to capture the lock mouth hole, and then choose elite soldiers to attack Lao Mugang, such a great achievement is at his fingertips!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Jiaolin's deputy general Luo Tianyang immediately echoed: "Yes, Lao Mu Kongming's army is now in civil strife, and our army should take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions in one fell swoop and capture the big thief Liu Tichun!" ”

Zheng Jiaolin's brows moved slightly, as if he was very moved by this proposal.

Seeing this, Cheng Tingjun, the chief soldier of Chongkui Town, hurriedly reminded: "The military gate, Lao Mugang, who has always been the main attack in Shaanxi, and the Eight Banners of Xi'an Garrison are involved in this battle, if our army intervenes horizontally, will it anger the Eight Banners?" ”

"What's the big deal about Eight Banners?"

Zheng Jiaolin actually snorted slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "I followed the king of Pingxi from Shanhaiguan all the way south to Burma, a hundred battles of all sizes, which battle was not the first, what is he doing with the Eight Banners?" It's just following us to pick up fruit! Without us waiting, can he really destroy the Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty? ”

When the generals heard this, they were all astonished.

However, some people muttered that Zheng Jiaolin's words were too taboo, and some people thought it was true.

Such as the Sichuan general soldier Tan Hong, such as the Fu Suppression General Liang Jiaqi, such as the deputy general of the Chinese Army Luo Tianyang.

Except for a few people, the generals of the Sichuan Green Camp did not think that what Zheng Jiaolin said was too arrogant, or that it implied great rebellion.

It shows to what extent Wu Sangui infiltrated the Sichuan army.

It also shows how contemptuous the generals of the Qing army under Wu Sangui are to the Eight Banners.

Only Zheng Jiaolin didn't suddenly release words for no reason, but he was also deliberately tempting.

Because the king of Pingxi and the court have been incompatible.

More than a month ago, the Qing court suddenly confiscated Wu Sangui's Pingxi General Yinxin on the grounds that the Yunnan-Guizhou military operation had stopped!

And just half a month ago, the Qing court suddenly issued an edict to cut off Wu Sangui's right to appoint people to make up for it, and re-annexed the appointment power of Yunnan and Guizhou officials to the ministry.

The signals released by these two events were so strong that some generals of the Wu army in Yungui privately began to persuade Wu Sangui to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty!

As a close confidant of Wu Sangui and the commander-in-chief of the Qing army in Sichuan, Zheng Jiaolin is also a member of the "persuasion".

It's just that Wu Sangui never expressed his attitude, and revised the book Zheng Jiaolin to ask him to strangle the thief of Kui Dongshun's army, "There is no distraction, don't move it."

This made Zheng Jiaolin really helpless.

But he also followed Wu Sangui's intentions and tried his best to kill the Ming army.

Just because he knew that the old thief would not be destroyed for a day, King Pingxi would not be at ease for a day.

The Qing court was obviously aware of this matter, so it spared no effort to recruit surrender.

What kind of idea is known to passers-by.

However, Zheng Jiaolin doesn't care about these remnants of Li Zicheng, and he doesn't care about the Eight Banners!

He only knew that he could have today because of King Pingxi!

It's on his own!

If Cheng Tingjun doesn't remind this joint, Zheng Jiaolin may really be able to let the Eight Banners waste in Xi'an snatch the great merit of breaking Lao Mugang.

Now.

Glancing at the general army of Chongkui Town personally promoted by Li Guoying, Zheng Jiaolin didn't think much about it, and ordered Cheng Bu to be the pioneer on the spot, immediately capture the lock hole, and then point directly at Lao Mugang for the vanguard of the whole army.

Cheng Tingjun didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to order the battalion soldiers to set off.

Platoon guns, knives and shields, green flag spearheads.

The Qing army team that set off was not in sight.
