Chen Chengan coughed: "Your Highness, this is not a place to be in a daze, if the matter is urgent, let's go back and talk about it, don't stand here." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, beauties have been like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. Let's go, let's go back to the city. ”

The people present were confused when Chen Cheng'an came out, Yang Youcai just checked whether there was a problem with the intelligence, and did not read the content of the information, at this time he couldn't help but think again, could it be that which of His Royal Highness's old looks has gray hair?

returned to the mansion, Cheng Xiaolian immediately summoned all the generals of Tongguan City to his mansion.

"General Qu, the battle in Tongguan City will be handed over to you. These people and horses are deployed as you like, in a word, to keep Tongguan City. ”

Qu Songjin was confused: "What happened to His Highness?" ”

"Wu Sangui is seriously ill."

Meng Ke was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with Wu Sangui's serious illness?" Even if he's dead, we'll just celebrate. ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "If he can last another two or three years, it is entirely possible for us to consume Shanxi into our own hands, but unfortunately he is seriously ill." If he really returns to the west, his army may not be able to stop the Manchus, and once those Manchu elites free up their hands, we will have a hard time. ”

Chen Chengan laughed: "Your Highness doesn't need to be too anxious, although Wu Sangui is seriously ill, it is expected that as long as he is not in a hurry, it will take him a year and a half, he is skilled in bows and horses, his body is strong, and now he is also a hegemon, it is still easy to recuperate his body." I am afraid that this serious illness is the news that he deliberately released, and I want to see the reaction of all parties. ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned: "Immediately get the information of Wu Yingqi, Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu." ”

Jin Yiwei has a special watch post for these people, but these people are all strong generals in the army, and they often lead troops to fight, so the news cannot be very accurate, you can only rely on what you see, and then Jin Yiwei writes his own analysis next to the intelligence, and then analyzes it after the intelligence is sent back.

For this reason, when Yang Youcai selected Jinyiwei a few days ago, the military men who had always wanted to be literate, and even those who were close to thirty and were illiterate, although the conditions were very good, they were all brushed down.

The level of education in this era was not as high as that of later generations, ten people pulled out, and eight people were illiterate. So Yang Youcai finally made a painful decision that he could only choose some young people with better qualifications, and then teach them to read and write. This cycle has to be at least one year, but he has no better way, is there a tape recorder in this era, even if Jin Yiwei gets the news, he can't run back to tell that they are far away in Jiangnan.

However, since Fengge took root in Jiangnan, their life has been better, and this Fengge's girl naturally doesn't need to say that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Fengge's bookkeeper is also literate and hyphenated, and there is no problem at all in writing something. It's just that some of the news is too confidential, and Jin Yiwei still hopes that the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Soon Jin Yiwei found out the news, and Cheng Xiaolian laughed after reading it: "If it weren't for Mr. Chen's reminder, I was almost deceived by Wu Sangui's old dog, where is he seriously ill, obviously pretending to be sick, the three people closest to him have not been recalled to his side, but he recruited all the generals in the army to the side, wanting to see how they react." ”

Chen Chengan nodded: "That's it, according to our analysis, even if Wu Sangui is seriously ill or even dead, this news will not come out, because once the news comes out, the army's heart will be chaotic, Wu Sangui is afraid that something will happen after his death, so he will erase the obstacles for his grandson first, but doesn't he know in his heart that his grandson's biggest obstacle is his son-in-law and nephew?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It's just that it is very inappropriate to remove obstacles at this time, the news that he is seriously ill, the soldiers in the army must believe it, and the morale must be reduced, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty launches an offensive at this time, can Wu Sangui's men and horses still hold it?" ”

Chen Chengan sighed: "I'm afraid that in Wu Sangui's eyes, these unruly generals of his are much more threatening to his grandson than the Manchu Qing Dynasty." ”

Wu Sangui really thinks so, when the Three Kingdoms were in place, the three-legged stand, the current general trend is not much different from that time, after his death, as long as his subordinates and ministers are single-minded, they can be in a corner of peace, and then wait for the time to move, now the biggest obstacle is not the foreign enemy, that is, the people in the army, his purpose this time is to test that once he dies, those arrogant soldiers can still support their grandson, or have to stand on their own.

However, he did not hide it from his nephew and son-in-law, in his opinion, this is absolutely trustworthy by his own family.

Cheng Xiaolian looked at this information and smiled bitterly: "Wu Sangui can also be regarded as a hero, but these generals under him are all unruly, even if they are protected by Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu, Wu Shifan is afraid that it will be difficult to suppress them." ”

Meng Ke smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, our own affairs are enough for a headache, where is there room to take care of others." ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Although your words are very rough, but they are not rough, since Wu Sangui is fine, let him toss it himself, let's deal with the Tuhai in front of us, this person is a person who is strongly supported by the Manchu court, we will not have the previous luck." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the people around him: "In the end, our foundation is still too thin, if we have ten years to garrison soldiers and food, we can kill him alive, and now we can only fight steadily, we have no chance of failure, once we fail, the overall situation in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo is unstable, and the Ming Dynasty will be ruined." ”

Qu Songjin nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, Tongguan City is in my hands, the city is here, and the city is lost." ”

Cheng Xiaolian shook his head: "If Tongguan can't be defended, you can still return to Xi'an City, with you, it is better than tens of thousands of elite soldiers, you must not sprout the will of life and death." As long as we win the battle in Tuhai, we will be able to enter Shanxi, and the revival of the Ming Dynasty will be in sight, and you will all be the founding heroes. ”

At this time, a person suddenly opened his mouth: "Your Highness, although our Ming Dynasty is now in a safe corner, it can be regarded as the overlord of the world, and even Wu Sangui, the old thief, is the king, should we be called the emperor?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "The time is not ripe, it's not too late to talk about this in a few days." ”

Then Qu Songtin took the men and horses to start rectifying the new sweeping army, which was composed of three mixed soldiers and horses, and was about to face the offensive of the Manchu first-class military general Tuhai, Cheng Xiaolian didn't know if they could hold it.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Yang Youcai came closer: "Your Highness, now that Daniel Zhang runs Ningxia, our Tongguan war is urgent, we can transfer him over to fight, anyway, he is idle." ”

"Are you a fool when everyone else, no one can see your plan to kill people with a knife. Besides, Daniel Zhang is now Daming's general, don't always think about calculating him. ”
