Chapter Fifty-Seven
Sure enough, Zhu Youzhen spoke.
"It's really good that the important minister goes on my behalf, so it's better to let Liu Qing do it for me."
Liu Yuliang was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and the Liu Qing in the emperor's mouth was referring to himself. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that the emperor's gaze was falling on him, and he hurriedly stabilized his mind.
"The minister goes to the soup and fights the fire, and he will not spin his heel!"
Liu Yuliang is like a mirror in his heart, no matter what, this errand will eventually fall on his head, and it is death to be timid, and it is also death to be righteous, why not die He is beautiful and beautiful, and he will be famous for a hundred years.
Zhu Youzhen nodded, worthy of being the first assistant of the dynasty, if the ministers present can have half of Liu Yuliang's life, why would the Ming Dynasty be like this. The problem of hurting the gods is inconvenient to think too deeply in Fengtian Temple, for the courtiers who dare to do things, he has never hesitated to reward, and he has even decided on the reward specifications after Liu Yuliang returns.
"It's just going to Gaoyang, and it's not going to go forever, Liu Qing will go, and I will wait for your triumph in this Forbidden City!"
"Thank you, Lord Ron!"
Liu Yuliang's dry old eyes were moist, he was moved and sad, I am afraid that after many years, it will be indefinite!
The ministers in the palace are very clear that Sun Chengzong's recovery is close at hand, and this battle between the DPRK and China may be surging again. Yang Sichang, Xue Guoguan, Zhang Sizhi, Liu Yuliang, Zhou Yanru, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and now there is a Sun Chengzong who is not a martial arts strategy, or has qualifications far better than others, I am afraid that the future will not be easy. If you accidentally stand on the wrong line, you will never recover.
The next thing that should be discussed is the reward specifications for Sun Chengzong, and Yang Sichang took the initiative to play it.
"The shape of Zhili is complex, the enemy and I are intertwined, and in order to act cheaply, Sun Chengzong is the acting military of Baoding, Zhending, and Hejian."
Zhu Youzhen shook his head, and the ministers were stunned, they still felt that Yang Sichang's temporary dispatch was too petty. Could it be that the emperor didn't want to use Sun Chengzong at all, it was the big guy who would be wrong?
In hesitation, Zhu Youzhen gave the answer.
"Sun Qing is a veteran of the three dynasties, the Han is Kong Ming, and the Tang is Pei Du. How can you use the three mansions? I have made up my mind, awarded the Dongge University Scholar, the title of Secretary of the Ministry of Leadership, and the military of the three provinces of Zhili, Shanxi and Shandong. ”
……
Outside the city of Suning, after a toss in the middle of the night, calm was restored, the Ming army set off the cannon in the middle of the night, but did not attack the city, and continued to send scouts out of the city to investigate, but still did not find the slightest sign of where the Ming army went.
In the middle of the night, Akzia stood on top of the city, waiting for the Ming army to attack again. Sure enough, a cannon in the darkness turned out to be like thunder.
"Where's the thunder?"
Akzia was guarding the south gate, but the sound of the cannon did not come from outside the south gate. After a while, two tartars trotted all the way over.
"Lord Zuoling, the Ming army is firing artillery at the West Gate!"
"Let's go, let's go to Xicheng and have a look!"
Akzia ran from the city to the west gate with his soldiers, but saw the fire flickering outside the west city, and the color of the lights was much weaker than the previous two nights.
"Leader, it's not a long-term solution for us to hide in the city like this, it's better to send troops out of the city to test it!"
Akzia pondered for a moment and rejected the offer.
"No, the Ming army just wants to lead us out of the city to face the battle, so that we can take the opportunity to seize the city! The general's reinforcements are instantaneous, why rush at the moment"
The previous loss of Suning was extremely strange, and a large area of rammed earth city walls collapsed, and it is said that each time it was accompanied by earth-shattering thunder. No one has seen it with his own eyes, Akzia has also carefully inspected the cracked rammed earth wall, there is a strong smell of gunpowder on the ruins, according to him, the side should have been blown up, but can the power of gunpowder really blow up the city wall? If the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty also learned this technique, wouldn't those castles in Ningjin be at your fingertips?
Out of caution, after filling the cracks with clay, he focused on sending people to guard this section of the city wall, in case the Ming army collapsed the city wall again in the middle of the night, it would be dangerous.
Outside the city, Li Xin stared at the swaying lights of Suning City, with a strange smile on his face.
"Report! Yue Tuo's army has already left the city between the rivers."
As soon as the galloping probe horse was out of breath, he couldn't wait to give Li Xin the general's information. Li Xin slapped his palms after hearing this.
"Good! This is the moment that I was waiting for. Collect the troops! ”
"Where did you dare?"
"The last general!"
Zeng dared to wear the scale armor that was softly ground and soaked in Li Xin, and sang with his hands around him, as if he looked like him.
A soldier teased: "You are a pro-soldier, what kind of general is it?" ”
After Zeng dared to put down the shelf of the reader, he mixed up with the soldiers under Li Xin's command, and it became common to laugh and scold on weekdays.
Li Xin glared at the interjecting soldier, and said to Zeng Dare in a deep voice: "The time has come to test you, take the people, and go east to Xianxian County." Remember, once you encounter the Tartar army, you can't fall in love with the war, all of them will be broken into pieces, and go straight to Cangzhou to the sea. ”
once dared to speak and stopped, and finally expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Then, how do you meet the general?"
Li Xin smiled, reached out and patted his left arm.
"Do you really want to be this hill? You are full of poetry and books, naturally you can't empty this ability, there will be more meaningful things waiting for you in the future, as for when to see you again, it is the fate of you and me! ”
Zeng dared not to leave, but he knew that this time he led the people to the east, which was related to the success or failure of Li Xin's entire layout, only in this way, he nodded firmly, and a layer of fog rose in front of him. Li Xin watched thousands of people disappear in the dark, and he was stunned for a while.
"Let's go, follow me to the river!"
……
Hejian Mansion, late at night, the hall of the government office is still brightly lit, and Yue Tuo's eye disease has affected his work efficiency. He lay on the map, carefully identifying the location of the mountains and rivers, and the 6,000 Eight Banner foot soldiers who had just been sent out in the evening had arrived in Suning at this moment.
There are tens of thousands of troops near Suning, and after calculation, there is no one else except Gao Qiqian's Guanning Iron Cavalry, so he still attaches great importance to it. What he needed to do now was to use these 8,000 people plus 3,000 people in Suning City to firmly attract Gao Qiqian's Guanning Iron Cavalry, and then Dolgon would raid from the flank and rear, and then kill them in one fell swoop. In this way, the impasse of Zhili will be opened.
The Great Qing Iron Cavalry has been dragged by this little Gao Yang and this small remnant army for too long, and must quickly cut through the chaos.
Suddenly, there was an urgent report from outside!
"Report to the general, the scouts found a Ming army of about 5,000 people, and went straight to Xianxian from Suning."
Yue Tuo's face changed drastically, and his eyebrows raised, he was keenly aware that the Ming army had begun to act. But they sent a detachment of men and horses to the county to do something. Although Xianxian is the main road leading from Wuyi to the river, but there are only less than 1,000 people left, and now the Ming army is moving so much, is it trying to isolate the main force of the right wing army led by Du Du from the rear?
Thinking of this, Yue Tuo could no longer sit still. Now that he is suffering from eye disease, he is naturally not suitable to lead the troops in person, so he had to send out the deputy general who stayed in the river, and led 5,000 troops to kill Benxian County.
Some staff members persuaded him worriedly, "General, send out the elite metal, once there is a mistake in the river......
Yue Tuo didn't know the risk of doing this, but marching and fighting is like arithmetic, as long as the troops on this territory are all calculated, the more accurate they are, the greater the results can be achieved with the least number of troops.
The Ming army was deployed in Suning and Xianxian, and it was impossible to send enough troops to threaten Hejian Fucheng, not to mention that Hejian Fucheng was high and deep, and a thousand people were not enough to see at all.
It was not until the evening that the military newspaper came back again from the south.
"General, Xianxian County Military Newspaper."
Yue Tuo ordered his staff to read the contents of the military newspaper for him, and his face suddenly changed dramatically when he heard it. The thousands of Ming troops who attacked Xianxian County by Suning were scattered when the army arrived in Xianxian. The Xian County guard captured a few live mouths, and after interrogation, he learned that these thousands of people were not Ming soldiers at all, but outright Ming Dynasty people.
"Medium plan!"
Yue Tuo spurted out a mouthful of blood, unconscious.
At the same time, there was only a shaking of the mountains in the city, and the Tartars in the government office panicked, first the general suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, and then the heavenly general was a strange omen. But they don't know what kind of omen this is.
The city wall in the northwest corner of Hejian Mansion was blown out of a hole more than three people wide, and a group of cavalry galloped here and entered the city through this opening.
The one who took the lead was none other than Li Xin. On his side was Lu Jiu, the officer of the left cavalry team.
"Lu Jiu, you did a good job!"
Lu Jiu said with a smile: "Brother Thirteen's trick can rarely be eaten all over the world, but as long as this rammed earth city wall is used, our Gaoyang Army Zhun Bao can be blown up!" ”
It turned out that long before the plan was set, Lu Jiu was sent to carry out this secret mission with more than a dozen people, and basically every time it was a three-day operation in the middle of the night, and the rooster crowed once it was called. I have been doubly cautious for days, but I have not been discovered by the Tartars.
"Let's go, go to the county office, we'll meet this big Belle Yuetuo for a while!"
In fact, Yue Tuo's background is far better than Aobai, and it is not inferior to Hauge at all. He is the eldest son of Prince Daishan, the head of the four major Baylors, who is good at planning and fighting, and is a rare third-generation figure in the Aixin Jueluo family who has been named a prince for meritorious service. It's just that because of his upright personality, he has never been loved by Huang Taiji, so he has been repeatedly blamed until the prince was cut, but then he was awarded Baylor for his merits.
If it weren't for the death of Yue Tuo in Jinan, after the death of Huang Taiji in the future, the pattern of the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty may not be the dominant Dolgon family later.
Besides, in the city of Hejian, it has been completely chaotic, the general fainted, the Ming army entered the city, and the main army was all sent out, and most of the people who stayed in the city were two Tartars, and the army's morale was very frustrated. After a while, the Tartars basically fell into the embarrassing situation of having no one to command them. Li Xin divided the horse into two, swept the Tartars in the city all the way, and went straight to the government office.
In the main hall of the government office, Yue Tuo let out a long cry of pain and came to his senses. There was a blur in front of him, but his ears were full of panicked sounds.
"Someone, someone!"
After shouting several times in a row, he clearly heard footsteps, but no one responded, and Yue Tuo couldn't help but be horrified.
