"Leaving?" Chang Yu put down his tea cup, looked at Zu Dashou at the door of the lobby, smiled and invited him to take a seat, and poured tea for him.
"Let's go, look at that posture, I want to fly over, I can't even hold it back!" Zu Dashou smiled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid that the governor will hold a grudge against them if he plays this trick?"
Chang Yu shook his head and smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid. What can they do to me? Besides, it's not that I hate the Governor alone, but I wonder if General Zu is afraid?"
Zu Dashou laughed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "With the support of Lord Governor, who will be afraid of a barefoot person?".
Old fox, Chang Yu admired Zu Dashou's shameless temperament. He originally wanted to jump away and let the uncle and nephew fight, but the big devil had already seen through his intention and insisted on dragging him into the water to play together.
Forget it, why are you afraid of attracting two more flies when you are covered in shit and urine? Chang Yu coughed slightly and straightened his expression and said: "Wu Sangui is no longer a stumbling block and he can leave now. You are the boss in Ningyuan City now. You have enough food and grass to strengthen your troops and horses. The rest is up to General Zu." How to show off your talents."
Zu Dashou bowed his hand and said: "The general should do his best, but with Ningyuan City's current strength, it is better not to think about how to regain Jinzhou. It will be good if we can balance the situation."
Chang Yu said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Dorgon is in Jinzhou City at this time. He has expected that the governor is very likely to send troops to attack the city. He must be on guard early. He may even use this to offset the pressure from the court. He may even hope that we will attack."
This point is similar to what Li Muxian analyzed. Chang Yu nodded, and Zu Dashou added: "And the troops in Ningyuan City are far from enough to attack Jinzhou!"
"Are there not enough troops and horses?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "There are at least 20,000 more."
Zu Dashou chuckled: "It seems that the factory governor has not verified Ningyuan's troop quota."
"We want to, it's not that we don't dare but that we can't." Chang Yu sighed: "You also understand the reason, so don't beat around the bush and just tell me how many people in the city can fight right now?"
"It's only five thousand," Zu Dashou said with a solemn expression, while Chang Yu frowned.
At this time in history, Wu Sangui had nearly 40,000 troops stationed in Ningyuan. Counting the losses in the Ningyuan battle two months ago, he should still have nearly 30,000 troops. Five thousand had just been transferred away by Shen Jianghu, so there should be about 25,000 troops left. If you go to get 20,000 disabled people, you have to take the risk.
Empty pay! At this time in the Ming Dynasty, everyone was eating their food, and Wu Sangui was no exception, and it seemed that his appetite was not small, at least more than 3,000 people.
But even if Chang Yu knew about it, he couldn't do anything to him, at least not right now.
Ning Yuancheng and Wu Sangui are both too special, unless Zu Dashou is firmly established outside the pass.
Chang Yu didn't want to waste his words on this topic, so he asked instead: "Even if the five thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to attack the city, Dorgon cannot eat well and sleep well."
"That's natural." Zu Dashou smiled slightly: "You can't defeat it, but you can win it, so I used the previous plan to rebuild Tashan Castle step by step, making Dorgon's nerves tense all the time, restless, and laborious. Unspeakable”.
"Why do you have more experience than our family? Let's just go ahead and do it without any worries." Chang Yu stood up and handed over his hands: "Our family will go back to Beijing tomorrow, so I'll leave it to General Zu."
Zu Dashou hurriedly stood up and returned the gift: "I will definitely do my duty and die with all my strength!" Chang Yu hummed and said again: "Wu Sangui will not be able to return to Ningyuan for at least half a year, and the Tatars will not be able to breathe for at least a year. General Zu, you have no chance. Here it comes! The opportunity for revenge has come, the opportunity for display has come, don’t let the court down and don’t let yourself down.”
That night, Zu Dashou couldn't sleep.
He thought a lot, and Chang Yu's words "Don't let the court down, don't let yourself down" lingered in his mind. Putting aside the court for the time being, he always felt that the little eunuch was creating an opportunity for himself, an opportunity for redemption, an opportunity to make up for the past!
Seventy years of life are rare, and I am already sixty-five. It is only a few years since I was seventy years old. There is no need to care about those who have something or not. As the little eunuch said, let go and go big, and realize yourself at the same time. To make a future for the descendants of our ancestors, there will be no regrets even if we die in battle!
At dawn, the young eunuch got on his horse outside the gate of the General Military Mansion, followed by dozens of fully armed guards following him out of the city.
Zu Dashou sent him to the Ningyuan River in the south of the city: "I have to say farewell to you after a long journey, and at the end I would like to congratulate the Lord Governor on your victory in suppressing the bandits and quelling the chaos."
Chang Yu bowed his hand and returned the greeting: "I won't say goodbye for half a year. We hope that by the time we meet again, General Zu will have already arrived at Jinzhou City."
"The general will not dare to agree randomly, but he will definitely do his best." Zu Dashou cupped his hands and said.
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, cupped his hands, and rode away.
It wasn't until he led his troops across the river and disappeared that Zu Dashou withdrew his gaze and stood by the river without saying a word for a long time.
"He really believed in us. Although he left the Jinyi Guards to keep an eye on us, we have only been back for a few days and entrusted Ningyuan City and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. I have to say that he... has a big heart." Zu Dachang sighed.
"Since he believes in us so much, then don't let others down. This boy likes me. If he were decades younger, I would really want to be with him." Zu Dashou said lightly, turned the horse's head and walked slowly towards Ningyuan City.
"This little eunuch is a person who does practical things. If the Ming Dynasty has more like him, it will be just around the corner." Zu Dale actually had a good impression of the little eunuch.
Zu Dacheng sneered: "What's just around the corner? The building is about to collapse. Although there are a few people inside repairing it, it won't help."
Zu Dalue didn't think so: "As the little eunuch said, there are not just a few posters and posters in the imperial court these days."
Zu Dacheng wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Zu Dashou: "One or two more people will not help. What if there are ten and eight more people? Our family will be more than a dozen people. What if there are more than a dozen people like us... Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Although the Ming Dynasty is still gloomy at this time, judging from the changes in the past few months, the time when the clouds and mist are cleared and the blue sky is not far away. Maybe... Well, why are you talking so much nonsense? From now on, please cheer me up and do some practical work. Today, I will first count the armaments and verify the soldiers..."
Chang Yu really left like a hands-off shopkeeper. In just a few days, without Wu Sangui knowing anything about it, he divided his military power, transferred his direct relatives, and lured the wolf into the house for him.
The rest is up to Zu Dashou.
As long as he doesn't surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Chang Yu believes that he will manage the situation outside the customs several times better than Wu Sangui.
As for whether Zu Dashou will surrender to the Qing Dynasty again, Chang Yu is very sure that he will not.
What he was currently worried about was not how Zu Dashou managed the arm-wrestling between Ning Yuan and Dorgon, nor how he went south to quell the chaos. In fact, what he was worried about was how to appease Wu Sangui's anger when he returned to Beijing.
Given Wu Sangui's temperament, he would never give up after being tricked like this, and would use all his connections in Beijing to protest.
If it gets too big, no one will look good.
In fact, he had already set up a stage with Emperor Chongzhen before he left the capital. Chang Yu left the capital to recruit troops and replace generals, and Emperor Chongzhen was responsible for controlling Wu Sangui.
But Chang Yu didn't know for sure, because he could sell Emperor Chongzhen by just turning around because of his urinary properties, or he might have to let him bite the bullet if he found it difficult.
"Taoist Master Yifang, do you think the emperor has dealt with Wu Sangui by the time we return to Beijing?" Chang Yu asked Li Muchian.
Li Muxian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wu Sangui is a difficult person. If Pindao were the emperor and there was someone specializing in peacemaking around him, he would never end up personally."
Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, our family hates this kind of intrigue and intrigue the most. There's no such thing as a simple and enjoyable fight!"
Li Muxian glanced sideways at the young eunuch: "Actually, this matter is not difficult."
Chang Yu said, "I would like to hear your advice." Li Muchian whispered in his ear. Chang Yu nodded from time to time and narrowed his eyes into a thin line.
