Chapter 56: Hand in Hand
Wang Li, is he a complete scumbag of history?
However, no matter how scummy he is, he has also heard the names of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui!
From the perspective of opera, he "became angry at the crown and became a red face", which is also a good story!
However, he was a general of the Ming Dynasty after all!
Surrendering to Jiannu is despicable after all!
Now, whether he descends to Qing or Li Zicheng, none of this matters!
The important thing is that he accepted Chen Yuanyuan, one of the "Eight Uniques of Qin Huai", as a concubine!
The woman who dared to rob me was also bold!
On that basis, this man cannot stay!
"Princess, how do you know about Wu Sangui?"
Yuan Chonghuan's questioning confirmed Wang Li's guess: That's right, this Wu Xiang is the same Wu Xiang in history!
"Uh...... This one...... I heard about it from Ji Yong......"
Wang Li agreed hesitantly, and Yuan Chonghuan immediately put on a straight face.
During the Ningjin War, Ji Yong and Liu Yingkun, as eunuchs of the prison army, regarded death as home, and fought bravely to kill the enemy, which is indeed admirable.
However, they are all Wei Zhongxian's henchmen!
The first merit that should have belonged to Yuan Chonghuan and the auxiliary merit that should have belonged to the generals under his command were all usurped by Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen!
Wang Li was also a eunuch, but not Wei Zhongxian's party.
Therefore, Wang Li was polite to him.
"Although Wu Sangui is only sixteen years old, he is also famous in the army! He went into battle with his father in armor, and when he encountered the enemy, he was the first to kill countless enemies!
Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Under the command of Inspector Yuan, he is indeed a fierce general! ”
Wang Li casually agreed, and successfully mixed up.
At this time, Wu Xiang served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong and was deeply valued by Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou;
Moreover, Wu Sangui has not officially appeared yet, and it is difficult to find black materials to do it.
Until now, there have been several people who can rob themselves of the "Qin Huai Eight Uniques"!
Among them, Qian Qianyi, who snatched Liu Ruye, has been done;
Zhu Guobi, who snatched Kou Baimen, is about to be killed by Wei Zhongxian;
Wu Sangui, who snatched Chen Yuanyuan, has appeared!
Hou Fangyu, who snatched Li Xiangjun, is the son of Hou Sui, the current imperial envoy of Henan Province, and his black materials cannot be found for the time being;
snatched Dong Xiaowan's Mao Bijiang, snatched Gu Hengbo's Gong Dingyu, and robbed Bian Yujing's Zheng Jiande,
And, Wu Meicun, who made Bian Yujing unforgettable, and Wang Zhideng, who robbed Ma Xianglan of his true feelings, are still missing!
No hurry, no hurry!
"Qinhuai Eight Uniques" has not grown up yet!
There's still time!
Although Liu Ru is dead, the other seven talented women should still be alive!
Add another Changping princess Zhu Huijiao, and you can still get eight of them!
By the way, Zhou Shixian, the attached horse designated by Zhu Youzhen, also wants to find him!
Then, do him out!
……
At this time, it was the end of October.
However, at this time, Liaodong was extremely cold!
"In October last year, it was also snowing in Liaodong! It's weird! ”
"And even stranger! Last year's Zhejiang, it was also snowing in October! Hell yes! ”
"That's it! The climate in recent years has been a bit strange! It must be that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was lazy and didn't sacrifice to the heavens, which angered God! ”
During the march, several soldiers whispered, and Wang Li's heart suddenly tightened!
I'll go!
Could it be that this is what history calls the "Xiaoice Age"?
Alas!
Poor Zhu Youjian, the "Xiaoice River Period", which has not been encountered for thousands of years, actually let you catch up!
If you want to fight with God, you will definitely lose!
"General He, this place is less than ten miles away from Xiping Fort, you should lead the army back!"
"Princess-in-law, Inspector Yuan has an order: if Jiannu comes to stop him, even if he fights to the last person, he must ensure that you are thorough!"
He Kegang's answer was neither hot nor lukewarm.
Along the way, for several days in a row, he always kept a distance from Wang Li.
Zu Dashou and other generals under his command are the same!
They don't like eunuchs in the army!
Whether he's a prison or not!
"General He, the soldiers under your command are all foot soldiers, and if you encounter the Jiannu cavalry, you will definitely suffer a big loss!
For the sake of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, please return quickly! ”
Wang Li persuaded again, but He Kegang was still unmoved.
So, Wang Li suddenly stopped his horse and raised his voice: "He Kegang, obey orders!" ”
"The last general...... In the ......"
He Kegang reluctantly surrendered his order, and Wang Li ordered sharply: "Lead the 29,000 soldiers under your command to return to Jinzhou as soon as possible!" ”
After hesitating for a long time, He Kegang waved his hand, and the footmen behind him finally stopped.
In fact, it was not Wang Li's original intention to send He Kegang to lead the troops to escort him!
Sending Guanning Iron Cavalry to escort it was not Wang Li's original intention!
There is no way, only through the "secret mission" can he hide from Yuan Chonghuan and go to Shenyang from his defense area!
Yuan Chonghuan's labor division mobilized the crowd to send troops to escort him, just because of the eight words "full support, no mistakes" in the holy decree!
These eight words, he didn't dare to be a little lazy!
It's okay, it's okay!
When the army set off, Zu Dashou and He Kegang received a military order to "ensure the thoughtfulness of the prince at all costs";
Moreover, the two were required to obey Wang Li!
At present, the army has left the Guanjin defense line, and there are only more than two hundred miles left from Shenyang!
Tens of thousands of troops are following behind him, which is really in the way!
Wang Li asked He Kegang to lead the troops to withdraw first, just because he was a foot soldier!
After the cavalry of Zu Dashou is broken, this foot soldier will be able to return to Jinzhou safely!
In addition, the six thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry are still heading east, which actually contains Wang Li's selfishness!
If you encounter the Eight Banners cavalry, if Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui happen to die in battle, then ...... Hey, hey, hey......
……
After the Battle of Salhu nine years ago, the main force of the Ming army has always retreated on the front line of Guanjin;
Four years ago, Nurhachi moved the capital from Hetuara to Shenyang and renamed it Shengjing, and the Ming army was unable to recover the lost territory;
Now, the Ming army is advancing eastward without warning, and the several major Baylors of the Houjin are grinding their fists one by one and asking for battle repeatedly.
However, Huang Taiji's attitude was very resolute: "Hold on!" Who dares to go out of battle and cut it! ”
"But...... The Great Khan, the Ming army swaggered and killed, but the Eight Banners cavalry retreated into the city, doesn't it make people laugh? ”
The Great Belle Daishan said, and the three Belle Mang Gurtai also stepped forward to ask for battle: "Great Khan, I only need 5,000 cavalry, and I can kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" Great Khan, give the order! ”
"Nope! Don't fight! ”
Putting down the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand, Huang Taiji smiled confidently: "The Han people's art of war is cloudy: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first";
Yuan Chonghuan is well-versed in the art of war, and without food and grass preparations, he rashly marched to the Liaohe River, isn't it suspicious? ”
The generals still wanted to ask for battle, but Huang Taiji waved his hand to stop it, and continued to laugh:
"The Ming army continued to approach Xiping Fort, and when they saw that I was not fooled, they withdrew their foot soldiers to show weakness!
Isn't this trap obvious enough?
If I go to war, I will be successful!
Therefore, send a herald to all cities, and be sure to defend them!
Whoever dares to fight will not be spared! ”
After that, Huang Taiji continued to hold "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and read it with relish.
The generals were about to retreat, when a messenger hurriedly reported:
"Report ...... Great Khan: The Ming army went and returned, and captured Xiping Fort last night!
Zu Dashou led 6,000 cavalry and continued to march towards Liaoyang! ”
Hearing the news, the crowd will be in an uproar!
Huang Taiji's heart tightened, but his face was unwavering.
Xiping Fort, there are not many defenders, but it is the outpost of the Eight Banners attacking the Guanjin defense line!
Moreover, Huang Taiji imitated the book "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first", and gathered a large number of grain and grass ordnance in Xiping Fort!
Xiping Fort was captured, and the generals were shocked and angry, and repeatedly asked for battle.
Huang Taiji still shook his head.
"As I said just now, He Kegang's foot soldiers are just suspicious soldiers!
Now, it's confirmed!
After he showed weakness and retreated, he saw that I had not yet played, and finally showed his true colors!
Yuan Chonghuan is well versed in the art of war and will never go deep alone!
Behind Zu Dashou and He Kegang, there must be a main force!
If I go to war, I will be successful!
So ......"
Huang Taiji didn't say any more, and smiled confidently.
Waving his hand, the generals had no choice but to retreat.
He Kegang, he did capture Xiping Fort!
He hates the eunuch army the most!
Therefore, for Wang Li's order, he chose to disobey!
He only withdrew more than ten miles, and after a little rest, he immediately quietly followed behind Wang Li!
Unexpectedly, I picked up a leak!
At that time, Zu Dashou led Guanning Iron Cavalry to Xiping Fort;
At that time, no one knew how many soldiers and horses there were in the city!
Wang Li marched close to Xiping Fort to lure out the Eight Banners Army!
Borrow their power to kill Wu Sangui!
He has the identity of a "peace envoy" and has no worries about his life!
What Wang Li didn't expect was that the defenders in the city strictly guarded the military orders and closed the city gates;
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Zu Dashou did not dare to garrison the city, and asked Wang Lihou to go out of the northeast direction for twenty miles to go down to the village;
Seeing the cavalry of the Ming army leaving, the grain carriage hidden outside the city hurriedly marched into the city;
At this time, He Kegang just arrived!
The gate of Xiping Fort is just wide open!
It's a cold day, but it's much warmer to spend the night in the city!
So, He Kegang came to take the sheep by the hand!
More than 1,000 Houjin soldiers in the city were all beheaded!
Unexpectedly, there were 150,000 stones of grain stored in the city!
With 29,000 foot soldiers, you can eat for months!
Moreover, there were large quantities of muskets, gunpowder, and swords, guns, and halberds!
When the news reached the cavalry camp, Wang Li was stunned.
And Zu Dashou is even more confused!
When he was in Ningyuan, this Wang Ergou father-in-law once said that the purpose of his coming to Liaodong was to solve the salary of the Guanning army!
Moreover, there is also a "secret mission"!
It seems that his march to Xipingbao is definitely not a coincidence!
It turned out that there were only a thousand defenders in the city!
He asked He Kegang to withdraw from the army and let himself attack Xiping Fort, because he wanted to make meritorious contributions!
Unexpectedly, he Kegang took the lead!
"Prince, right now, where should we march our troops?"
Zu Dashou's question became very humble!
This is the first time he has shown favor to Wang Li!
"Since General He has captured Xiping Fort, let's just enter the city and wait for the arrival of the Eight Banners!"
"Good! Just according to the will of the prince! ”
So, with an order, Guan Ning's iron cavalry took advantage of the night and quickly drove to the city.
At this time, Wang Li was secretly happy again!
Hum!
robbed Huang Taiji's grain and grass, he will definitely go crazy!
Eight Banners, will be killed soon!
Ha ha!
Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui!
I don't believe I can't kill you!
As long as Wu Sangui dies in battle, I will immediately show Zhu Youzhen's secret edict and negotiate peace with Huang Taiji!
Originally, Zhu Youzhen knew the difficulty of "secret peace", he just said, "Try to hide it from Yuan Chonghuan"!
I've done my best!
Therefore, I can't be blamed for the leakage of the peace talks!
Zhu Youzhen is a person who likes to save face!
Big deal, I helped him carry this black cauldron!
Historical infamy is a fart to me!
In this world, only silver and women are the truth!
Even Qin Hui had someone to help him overturn the case, let alone me!
Moreover, I just negotiated peace with Huang Taiji in exchange for a respite for Daming, and I didn't become a traitor!
Moreover, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty negotiated peace with the Xiongnu, and no one said that he was a traitor!
"Princess, what are we going to do after entering the city?"
"Wait!" Wang Li smiled coldly: "Wait for Huang Taiji to send troops to come!" ”
"Oh!"
Zu Dashou suddenly realized and came over happily: "Princess, what do you mean by "encircling the point to send reinforcements"!"
Ha ha! This trick is ruthless!
Last year, Huang Taiji attacked Ningyuan and Jinzhou successively, which was to "encircle the point to send reinforcements"! However, it was recognized by Inspector Yuan!
Princess, let's ...... How do you surround the point to send reinforcements, so as not to be recognized by Huang Taiji? ”
Hearing this, Wang Li's face was black.
Your imagination is too rich!
Depressed, Wang Li smiled: "It's very simple! Grab the map! ”
