Meng Ke also smiled bitterly: "General Wang is a battlefield general, I only have brute strength, Your Highness, you see, although he takes the lead, but his vision is very broad, and every attack point is the weak point of the Funi army, this kind of battlefield experience is not something that can be learned in a while." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at the following: "It is indeed not a fluke that Wang ~ Fuchen can create a great reputation in Shaanxi, to say an exaggerated word, the overlord of Western Chu was able to drive the combat effectiveness of the whole army of Chu with the strength of one person, and now Wang ~ Fuchen also has this meaning, you see that the soldiers behind him follow him left and right without hesitation, this is not something ordinary people can do." ”

Speaking of this, he laughed: "Don't stand and watch the show, otherwise you will be the king ~ auxiliary ministers again." Meng Ke, lead the attack! ”

Meng Ke immediately rushed down with people, and Yang Youcai coughed on the side: "Your Highness, the king ~ the auxiliary ministers are popular, I'm afraid it's not good for us to fight Shaanxi, it's better to take this opportunity to let him lose some more people." ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Don't fight these bullshit ideas, the people's hearts are in the king~ auxiliary ministers, so we can't touch him, otherwise the people's hearts will be back, do you think we can still stay?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian also knows that Wang ~ Fuchen won the hearts of the people, otherwise he would not have been charged with suicide in history, you must know that Geng Jingzhong was escorted to Jingshi Ling Chi to be executed, Geng Jingzhong surrendered in the fifteenth year of Kangxi in history, and the time of the rebellion was only two and a half years, and finally he was charged with Ling Chi's execution, and the Qing court could only force Wang ~ Auxiliary Ministers to death for the stability of Shaanxi, which shows how popular Wang ~ Auxiliary Ministers are.

It's just that what I think and what I see are not the same thing after all, Wang ~ Fuchen can rely on the land of Shaanxi to meet the source left and right in the rebellion of the three feudatories, there is still something outstanding, and now Cheng Xiaolian has just seen the tip of the iceberg has been deeply shaken, so he has determined his strategy of not making enemies with Wang ~ Fuchen in the short term, and not fighting Shaanxi's idea.

Not long after Meng Ke rushed down, Daniel Zhang also arrived with people, although there was a big moon hanging in the sky, but he couldn't tell how many enemy troops were ahead, only that it was absolutely indispensable, so he quickly sent people to shout to greet the enemy troops.

This kind of night attack can cause a lot of damage to the panicked army, but as soon as Daniel Zhang greeted here, the people's hearts over there immediately settled down, and since the commander sent someone to arrive, he would definitely be able to escape.

And Cheng Xiaolian's side is not sure how many people Daniel Zhang came, besides, if he fights, he will definitely attract all Daniel Zhang's people, he doesn't want to fight this kind of confused battle, anyway, he has already caused enough damage to Funiqi, so there is no need to kill them all, so he immediately Mingjin.

Wang ~ Fuchen was in the middle of the military formation, and he heard Mingjin's voice and was furious: "Who is Mingjin?" ”

The adjutant general beside him hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty on the hillside, it seems that Daniel Zhang has a lot of people. ”

"Come on, come on, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed?"

"General, this night battle is always a confused battle, and our soldiers can't see the enemy clearly, so let's withdraw first, we have already killed a lot of people tonight."

Wang ~ Fuchen waved his hand: "Withdraw!" ”

Daniel Zhang naturally did not pursue, immediately gathered the remnants, and began to retreat, and on the way back, he was already thinking about how to deal with Funi.

Kill him? Of course, even if this matter is reported to the imperial court, the emperor can't say anything, but in this case, there will be no general of the Manchu Eight Banners in the army, even if he temporarily finds someone to fill the number, can he gain the trust of the imperial court? Or did the court feel that he was out of control?

Daniel Zhang didn't want to do this kind of thing, although Ferni had it, but when he reported to the imperial court, the imperial court would only feel that they had lost the battle under their own command, and once they lost confidence in themselves, they had no chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, he must ensure that in the eyes of the emperor, he will minimize flaws and gain the trust of the imperial court, so that he will be able to rise to prominence and make contributions in this troubled era, otherwise his achievements will become illusory.

At this time, the battle losses in the army had already been counted, Daniel Zhang's cavalry lost less than 100 horses, while the loss of Funi's army exceeded 2,000 people, which can be said to be a crushing defeat.

Forni was also frightened at this time, he only thought about how to win this battle at first, but he never thought about how to lose the battle, thinking of the killing of the head that Daniel Zhang told him before, he only felt that both legs began to weaken.

When he returned to the camp, he immediately knelt on the ground: "The last general, the last general is guilty of death." ”

Daniel Zhang glanced at him: "What did I tell you before?" ”

"The commander let the last general not attack."

"Why did you attack?"

"The last general received a secret report from the Moluo generals, saying that the king ~ the auxiliary ministers were going to retreat overnight, and they didn't have time to report to the marshal, so they rashly set out!"

Daniel Zhang grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed it in his face: "You still dare to make up lies until now?" ”

Ferni was smashed, and quickly began to kowtow: "It is the last general who has blinded his heart with lard, and the last general should not be greedy for merit." ”

"I've already found out, you got the news earlier, but you forged the commander's order, what did you say about the secret order to attack the enemy camp, according to the military law of the Qing Dynasty, how should you deal with it?"

"Beheaded for public display, and the family was not enslaved."

"If only you knew!"

Fu Ni's head knocked even harder: "Dashuai, the last general is blinded by lard for a while, you give the last general another chance, and the last general will never dare to go against the will of the big marshal again." ”

Daniel Zhang slowly walked to his front and gritted his teeth: "What if there is a next time?" ”

"The last general is willing to come and see you!" Hearing this, Ferni knew that his head was saved.

Daniel Zhang didn't plan to kill Ferni at the beginning, he had already thought clearly about the pros and cons on the way, and keeping him was still obedient, if he killed him, the imperial court would send another arrogant person, and it would be even more difficult to parry.

But even if you don't kill him, you have to let him have a long memory, otherwise he will act rashly next time, so there is a previous conversation.

Daniel Zhang said gloomily: "Tonight the marshal sent you to attack the enemy army, you and Wang ~ auxiliary ministers have mutual damage, invincible and undefeated, understand?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Forni's eyes, and he understood that Daniel Zhang was trying to help him clear his name, otherwise not to mention someone else, the soldiers in his own battalion would have turned against him, and then he would no longer be able to lead the troops.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly kowtowed a few more times: "The last general is quite handsome, this is a letter to the court, Wang ~ Auxiliary Ministers are cunning, there are mutual victories and defeats in the night attack, our army will defeat Wang ~ Auxiliary Ministers within a month and recapture Pingliang!" ”

Daniel Zhang nodded: "If your stupidity leaks out half a sentence, you as a general probably can't do it, you weigh it yourself!" ”

Forni nodded again and again: "Clearly, the last general will definitely do things beautifully, and the soldiers in the army will also let them keep their mouths shut, we will hurt each other in the battle tonight, not ambushed!" ”
