128 Just a man

After a while, the noise got closer and closer, and Hu Guang finally heard a little clearly: "Changli is a great victory, nearly 7,000 casualties are built and captured, and Changli is a great victory......"

Oh, it turned out that Changli Zhan had reported. After a cursory listen, he knew why. This great victory was unprecedented, and it is no wonder that although the strictest martial law was still enforced at this time, the people and soldiers who heard the sound couldn't help but cheer.

Hu Guang actually already knew about this Changli battle report. Therefore, relatively speaking, he seems very calm. However, if you win the battle, you still have to publicize it, at least make a statement.

As a result, Hu Guang had to deal with this great victory first, meet with the messenger who rushed into Beijing at the risk of death, give a reward, and officially announce the news to the people of Beijing, etc.

At this time, Man Gui was at the head of the city, listening to the cheers in the Jingshi City, and was surprised by the emperor's uncertain prophet, and he somewhat relaxed his tense expression for days. Looking at the movements of Jianyu outside the city, he also somewhat understood why Jianyu was preparing to retreat.

Although most of the 7,000 Jianlu are not real Jianlu, the tragic situation of almost the entire army being wiped out will definitely hit the morale of the Jianlu outside the city, so that they can come to their senses, and the Ming army is not all waste. Under the emperor's conspiracy to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, they also realized that even if it was so difficult to conquer the small county of Changli, if Jianyu did not consider the dangers that he might encounter if he stayed in Gyeonggi, then it could not be said how cunning Jianyu was, but how stupid he was.

Man Gui was observing through the telescope, and he noticed that Jianyu's probe horse was shrinking. That's right, if the Jianyu Tanma was tightly sealed, it would be impossible for the messenger to rush into the capital.

From this point, it can also be seen that Jianyu really has the intention of retreating. Because after the messenger rushed into the Beijing Division, the impact on the morale of the defending troops was also obvious. Unless Jianlu is mentally ill, he will let the messenger enter the city and then continue to attack the Jingshi.

Towards evening, hundreds of Jurchen Tartars who had been on display outside the camp for nearly a day were put down and carried into the camp, which further confirmed Man Gui's speculation that Jianyu was preparing to leave.

In the distance outside the city, a group of Ming troops did not collect at night, and they also appeared from time to time, and they were all looking at the camp from afar like the city head. When they saw Jianyu Tanma passing, they hurriedly ran, and when Jianyu Tanma returned, they reappeared. It can be seen that the news of Changli's victory has also affected these nights, otherwise they would not be so bold, and Jianyu would not have been perfunctory.

"Master, the war in Beijing is coming to an end, and Your Majesty will definitely have a heavy reward!" A family leader beside Man Gui said with a smile, "No one can take this credit!" ”

Hearing this, Man Gui's bearded face smiled, and suddenly he opened his mouth and yawned, and then casually handed the monocular to the family next to him and said: "Take it carefully, monitor the movements of the Jianyu camp, don't be sloppy, master, I'll rest for a while." ”

In the city, Han Yi, the former head assistant, also heard the news of Changli's victory, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Seven thousand Jianyu? Zu Dashou has such ability? The old man doesn't believe it! ”

"Didn't you say that more than 3,000 people were captured? It's not fake. Steward Cao shook his head and said, "It seems that Zu Dashou is desperate." ”

"Hehe, this ancestor is really scared after being severely reprimanded by the emperor!" Han Yi said a little sarcastically, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then shouted: "Come on, grind the ink, the old man wants to write a chapter to congratulate the emperor." ”

He's going to brush up on his presence! Steward Cao understood what he meant, so he stood up and bowed his hand to Han Yi and said, "My lord, taking the opportunity of this great victory, I will go back first." ”

Han Yi listened to it and groaned for a while, and then said to Steward Cao: "This great victory over Jianyu, Zu Dashou will definitely be reused." The old man thought that the relationship with the Guanning Army should be strengthened, and if there were as many allies in the army as possible, after all, the Jianyu was still there, and the Northwest People's Rebellion was not settled. ”

"Be sure to bring the words of the adults to my master." Steward Cao nodded and immediately agreed.

"By the way, the Changli County Order will inevitably be reused, and this person will have to win over one or two." Han Yi suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said again, "Money is not a problem, if it is not enough, you can ask King Fan and a few others to send some more." ”

Steward Cao nodded when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something, so he reminded: "I seem to remember that I have seen the materials of this Changli County Order before, and it seems that it is just a person's origin." ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he believed that what Steward Cao said would not be wrong, after all, Steward Cao was Cao Yubian's confidant, and it was normal to see these materials. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Then forget it, it's just a matter of lifting people, even if you make a great contribution this time, it won't stand in the court, it's not worth spending money on him!" ”

"Then take your leave!" Steward Cao smiled slightly when he heard this, and bowed his hands again before saying goodbye.

The news of Changli's victory also affected other officials in Beijing. All of a sudden, officials at all levels pondered what impact this victory would have on the court situation, and thought about how they could benefit from it.

Although they have different ideas, they have one thing in common, that is, they have written chapters to congratulate the emperor and brush up their sense of existence.

At night, from time to time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, from the Tongzhou city gate to the yamen.

The governor and the general soldiers sat in the hall, listening from time to time to the proclamations that would not be taken back at night.

"Report to Zhongcheng, when the sky was getting dark, a large number of horses suddenly dispersed, and the subordinates could no longer observe the camp from afar." A night is not collected in this winter day is also sweaty, breath uncertain said.

When he heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then looked at the generals and said, "What does this mean, is Jianyu going to attack the Jingshi again?" ”

Hearing this, Hei Yunlong stood up and saluted the governor in the hall with a fist: "Judging from the many years of experience of the last general, Jian Yu is preparing to retire tonight!" ”

Ma Dengyun also clenched his fists and chimed in: "Judging from the previous military reports, the last general also thought that Jianyu was about to retire, so he sent a large number of scouts to block the movement. ”

After hearing the commentary, he was not very happy, and after waving his hand to pass the night, he frowned and said, "Is Jian Yu going to retreat?" ”

Hei Yunlong knew the reason for the governor's displeasure, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Zhongcheng, Jianyu scattered a large number of probe horses, which also means that his morale must have been greatly affected, and he is unwilling to find out for me tomorrow night." ”

"Oh?" When he heard this, he looked a little excited and said, "What do you mean, we have a chance?" ”

"The last general thinks that he can send another night and not collect it, and then explore the movements of Jianyu, and then make a decision!" The Black Cloud Dragon's expression was also a little excited, and he replied.

The other generals looked at each other, nodded their heads, and then looked at Zhongcheng, waiting for him to give the order.

After listening to the commentary, he also glanced at a few of them, and suddenly stood up, with an inexplicable light in his eyes and said, "Okay, then it's up to you, do your best!" ”
