Early the next morning, Wu Sangui ordered Shen Jianghu to lead two thousand cavalry to drive away the Qing army's probing horses within a radius of 20 miles of Ningyuan City. They all stopped at the mountain pass in the north and were not allowed to move further south.
At the same time, Jiawai Xiong in the city led two hundred Jinwu Guards elite cavalry and headed straight for the Western Mountain.
In the Governor's Mansion, Chang Yu finished washing and sat in the hall looking at the breakfast on the table in a daze. The Qing army was approaching and he was under great pressure. He did not sleep well at night and had no appetite at this time.
Li Tiezhu and Tu Yuan stood at the door and watched Wuzhong practicing boxing in the courtyard. They whispered something from time to time.
Chang Yu glanced sideways at the two of them and saw a trace of disdain on Tu Yuan's lips, so he called him to his side. "That fool in the yard was extremely arrogant with a little bit of strength, boasting that no one in the army could do it." The enemy, you go and teach him a lesson."
Tu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Stronger? Bigger than me? But Tie Zhu said he is very powerful with his fists and kicks!"
"I beg you, I'll make him get down in a minute, and I'll just use my strength to show off. Why, don't you dare to touch him?" the little eunuch began to fan the flames.
When Tu Yuan heard that it was just because of his strength and the little eunuch's instigation, he snorted, turned around and walked towards the yard.
Chang Yu sighed and stood up. He was under great mental stress during the war and wanted to relax by watching a show. Li Tiezhu was very discerning and moved a chair to the corridor for the little eunuch to sit on.
After several punches, Wuzhong was covered in hot sweat. He stopped and prepared to go back to his room and change clothes. As soon as he turned around, he saw a big man with an iron tower blocking his eyes. Only when he took a step back did he see that it was the man who came last night. It was said that he was A fierce general under the little eunuch.
"Practice?" Tu Yuan smiled half-heartedly.
Wuzhong frowned, "You are no match."
Damn, you are really crazy. Tu Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed, causing Wuzhong to take three or four steps back. He was shocked, how could this guy be so strong?
"The Governor said that you are already very powerful. Brothers are not convinced and want to learn from each other. Master Wu, please give me some advice." Tu Yuan chuckled.
Wuzhong turned his head and glanced at the little eunuch who was watching the show in the corridor with a half-smile on his face. He knew that today was unavoidable, but who would be afraid of a fight? He looked back at Tu Yuan, who was half a head taller than him, "Please"
Tu Yuan stopped hesitating after hearing this and raised his leg with a sweeping kick. Wuzhong sneered, seeing the empty door open, he blocked the right fist with his left hand and was about to attack, but he let out a cold snort and fell to the ground four or five meters away. All the bones in his body seemed to fall apart. .
With one force, Tu Yuan was born with supernatural power. Only a few people could block it head-on with a full blow. Except for Liu Zongmin, Hao Yaoqi, Luo Hu, and Wu Sangui, there was probably no one else in the world who had the same supernatural power.
Wuzhong relied on his superb martial arts skills, made a mistake in judgment, and took a forceful move, only to be swept away with a kick!
Awesome, the little eunuch shouted and clapped his hands, Tu Yuan looked back and raised an eyebrow, with a proud look on his face.
Wuzhong's face turned red with embarrassment, he stood up from the ground and rushed towards Tu Yuan with a chill in his face.
Ha, Tu Yuan sneered, raised his leg and kicked him again. Unexpectedly, Wuzhong sidestepped and came to him in a whoosh. Without saying a word, he hit Tu Yuan's chest with a punch.
Rub rub rub, Tu Yuan took three steps back, clutching his chest with a look of pain on his face.
good! The little eunuch was shouting again.
Damn it, Tu Yuan was stimulated and rushed towards Wuzhong with a roar...
"Lord Governor, General Wu has invited you." At this time, a personal guard came to report.
Chang Yu stood up suddenly and left in a hurry. In the yard, Tu Yuan and Wuzhong were still rolling on the ground and roaring.
In the General Military Mansion, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong had been waiting for a long time. Chang Yu entered the door and saw the two men with solemn faces. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The Qing army has moved?"
Wu Sangui smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointed at the person next to him and said, "Tell the governor one more time."
Only then did Chang Yu notice that Wu Sangui was a man with a weathered face, and Wu Zhao was sent to the Qing army camp to deliver a message to Dorgon.
Dorgon did not detain him after rigorously questioning him, but released them one day after the vanguard of the Qing army set off.
Wu Zhao and his party traveled through the snow day and night, and finally returned to Ningyuan City this morning.
"The Qing army has a vanguard of eight thousand, led by Abatai, Haoge, Nikan, and Luo Luohun, followed by Dorgon's main force, which will arrive within seven days at the latest!"
Eight thousand cavalry cannot be underestimated!
Chang Yu narrowed his eyes, and the four warriors sent were all relatively powerful guys from the Eight Banners. They had been fighting all year round and had great military exploits. Each of them was a tough opponent and was an old friend of Wu Sangui. No wonder they looked like this. Ugly.
"Commander Wu, do you still remember how Inspector Yuan died back then?" The little eunuch suddenly laughed and picked up the teacup next to him and looked at Wu Sangui.
Fourteen years ago, Yuan Chonghuan was killed by Chongzhen. The crime was known to the world, and he was a traitor to the enemy!
However, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong's expressions changed dramatically and they remained silent because the court had not yet vindicated Yuan Chonghuan.
Many people think that Yuan Chonghuan was not vindicated for collaborating with the enemy until the Qianlong period. In fact, in the 15th year of Chongzhen's reign, Kuang Lu and Liang Feixin (the top staff of Yuan Chonghuan when he was in charge of the second time) came to Shu to rehabilitate Yuan Chonghuan, but it was only for Chongzhen. He was too worried about national affairs to do this, and because of his headstrong and conceited character, he could not admit his mistakes. It was not until 1645 that Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty reinstated him and buried him, and in 1648 Emperor Yongli gave him a posthumous title! In other words, the Ming Dynasty once quelled rebellion for Yuan Chonghuan.
But at this time, in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Yuan Chonghuan was still charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. Even now, most people in the government and the public understood that it was just a counterintuitive plan by Huang Taiji.
Even the old Liaodong troops who hated Yuan Chonghuan the most could not acquiesce to this fact. Although his behavior and behavior were not highly controversial, he did die unjustly!
Since the imperial court had not vindicated him, how could Wu Sangui dare to make any rash comments, let alone in front of the big boss of Dongchang.
Seeing that the two were silent, Chang Yu sighed, "Huang Taiji must have never expected that someone would do this to his son many years after his death."
"Is the Governor using counter-intentional tactics against Hauge?" Wu Sangui and Tang Tong were shocked.
The little eunuch held the tea cup and said with a smile, "Why not? It is only right that a father pays his debts to his son."
Wu Weiying never thought that one day she would sleep in a cave. Although it was not as magnificent as his mansion, it was thousands of times better than living in the wild and suffering from the wind and cold.
The cave is wide, and the thousands of people inside it don't seem crowded at all. The cave is warm, clean and has clear springs. If it hadn't been during the war, it would have been a great place to explore ancient times and find tranquility.
Wu Weiying was very excited when he entered the cave last night. After walking back and forth several times, he immediately ordered the soldiers to use wood and stones to build a compartment for him in the cave. After all, how could a dignified marquis sleep in the same room with the pawns and sleep on the floor? .
Marquis's breakfast is also extremely rich, including rice porridge, side dishes and barbecued game.
Unexpectedly, just after washing up and about to feast, a cavalry group entered the mountain. The leader was a tall and strong general with a tough look. After entering the cave, he first saluted and said hello, and then introduced himself.
Why did the people from the Jinwu Guards also come? While Wu Weiying was surprised, Jia Waixiong said something that made him feel uncomfortable but helpless: "By order of the governor, I will now take over the command of the infantry battalion."
Wu Weiying's mouth can fit into a big chicken leg. Shenji Battalion has a total of 5,000 troops. When he left the capital, the emperor appointed him as the commander-in-chief. This was a good thing. Just one night after arriving, most of the military power was released by the eunuch. , and not even a glass of wine.
Slowly closing his mouth, Mr. Wu admitted that he was not convinced that the emperor was far away from him. He still had the same idea, I would do whatever you asked me to do. I would share the credit if I won, and run away first if I lost.
Jia Waixiong was not as elegant as Lord Wu, nor was he as dignified. After the soldiers had breakfast, he inspected the infantry battalion in the cave.
Three thousand five hundred and four people, each with a gun in hand, a bow on his back and a knife across his back, and ammunition bags tied to his waist.
"It's time to send troops!" Jia Wai's voice was as loud as a bell, and his words were concise and concise!
Wu Weiying was startled, "A fight has begun? Qing, Qing, the Qing army has arrived. How many people are there?"
Jia Waixiong glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, this is an important military secret. The governor has ordered that it not be leaked."
"I am an outsider?" Wu Weiying was furious, but then his face softened as he reacted, "Well, this time... I don't have to participate in the war?"
Jia Waixiong nodded, "The governor ordered Mr. Hou to sit in the mountain and assist Commander Hu in running the fortifications in the mountain."
Wu Weiying couldn't help but feel happy, but she still snorted coldly. He said it nicely from the position of being in the mountain, as if he was the boss of the mountain, but letting the eunuch named Hu assist him didn't mean he was being ignored.
After a short break, Jia Waixiong led 200 Jinwu Guard cavalry, together with Fan Jiaqian's more than 200 Gongzi battalion and 3,000 infantry battalions, exited the cave from the west, passed through Heifeng Mountain and headed straight to the direction of Mohu Pass due north. Go, they want to go around to the wild valley separated from Tengjialing by lurking in Hou Ling's camp.
