After all, he is in his forties, and his physical strength and energy are not as good as those of young people. In addition, he was very tired from a fierce battle yesterday. Marco woke up a little late today, or to be precise, he was woken up.
When he came out of the house, he saw a group of people watching someone making a noise. From the sound, he knew that the enemies Fan Seng and Wuzhong were fighting again. As for why, he was not interested in knowing, and he didn't go to see the excitement. He glanced at the scene and saw Ji Jike and Tu Yuan were arguing and walked straight towards Chang Yu's house.
Entering the house to see Li, he also started eating and drinking.
"General Zu is gone?" Marco asked casually.
Li Muxian and Wang Zhengnan immediately admired each other and fell to the ground. Apparently Ma Ke had expected that Zu Dashou would leave today, which showed that he also saw the crux of the problem. Regardless of whether Dorgon would send troops to attack Tashan Fort, but Zu Dashou was the coach, he He must go back to Ningyuan, that is the foundation. After he returns, whether it is siege or reinforcements, he will be able to deal with everything with ease. Otherwise, the two dragon heads will be trapped in Tashan, and the group of dragons will be leaderless and will be in chaos.
"General Bing Ma, do you think the Tatars will send troops to attack Tashan Fort?" Wang Zhengnan asked curiously, and Ma Ke chuckled: "Whether to fight or not to fight was originally in Dorgon's mind, but now..." As he said He glanced at Chang Yu and said, "The odds are greatly increased."
Chang Yu smiled slightly and said nothing. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Li Muchian then asked, "How many days can Tashan Fort last if we fight?"
Marco exhaled and shook his head with an indifferent expression: "You'll have to fight to find out."
Um... Li Muxian and Wang Zhengnan were confused. It seemed that Ma Ke didn't care at all and didn't care at all.
Chang Yu smiled even more happily.
"The Governor asked just now, how should we respond if the Tatars besiege us and come for reinforcements?" Wang Zhengnan asked again.
Marco still had the same expression: "When water comes, soil will cover us, and when soldiers come, we will block it."
Forehead……
Li Muxian and Wang Zhengnan looked at each other, but Ma Ke looked at Chang Yu: "Master Du Gong, this is what the general said."
Chang Yu smiled and nodded: "Very true, very true."
Ma Ke remained silent and ate and drank peacefully, while Chang Yu sipped his teacup and looked outside. Ji Jike and Tu Yuan walked in while cursing Tu Yuan, while Li Muchian and Wang Zhengnan lowered their heads and fell into deep thought. The two of them were more or less at this time. After some reflection, I finally felt the gap between myself and these actual combat heroes.
With the same problem, Zu Dashou woke up early in the morning and left without any nonsense. Ma Ke said with an indifferent expression that he would just fight and we would talk about it when he came. Looking at the two of them, it seemed like they were talking on paper. They talked in a long way. Absolutely, this analysis, that guess...
What they can think of, Zu Dashou and Ma Ke can obviously think of it too. They don't even bother to say a word, and they are already prepared for the challenge.
Make a judgment.
"Can you two calm down and bite each other when you see them? Didn't you say that we were friends before when we traveled around the world? Why are you acting like enemies now?"
Chang Yu couldn't help but complain when he saw that Wuzhong was covered in mud and had a few bruises on his face.
Wu Zhong snorted: "I don't know what's going on, but my hands are itchy when I see him."
"Maybe it's because there weren't so many people stirring up trouble at that time," Marco chuckled.
Li Muchian and Chang Yu said in unison: "Mr. Ma, please don't slander me!"
Everyone was startled and burst into laughter.
Wu Zhong was confused and shouted to the outside: "Give me a bowl of soup. I want a big bowl!"
There were soldiers outside who quickly responded. When Chang Yu saw Kuang Ren still standing at the door, he invited him in to eat and drink. Kuang Ren was the commander of the soldiers and had always maintained his position. It was at this time that Chang Yu asked him to come in. He also shook his head and said it was fine outside.
"Kowtow to Lord Du Gong." At this moment, brothers Zu Zerun and Zukefa hurried to the door and knelt down on one knee.
The originally noisy room suddenly became quiet. Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the door: "There is no need for courtesy in the military." The two agreed and stood up, lowering their heads and not daring to look inside.
"Come in and talk." The room is not big and it is already full of people. In fact, there is no difference between standing at the door and coming in, but it means a lot to the Zu Zerun brothers.
The two of them entered the room and stood by the wall and quickly greeted Ma Ke. Ma Ke was still eating, nodded and continued eating and drinking without making a sound, but Tu Yuan and others kept looking at the two brothers. Go, the hostility is quite high.
"Have the people from Ningyuan arrived?" Chang Yu didn't let the two brothers sit down. In fact, there was no place to sit, let alone let them drink tea.
Zu Zerun said quickly: "After a few miles of Lianshan Fort, we met him. My father had sent people to Ningyuan to report last night." Li Muchian and Wang Zhengnan couldn't help but look at each other again.
Chang Yu hummed: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the fort at this time?"
"Returning to Lord Du Gong, excluding the troops of General Ma and Dongchang Guards, there are 1,647 soldiers, all of whom are soldiers, and 612 horses," Zukefa rushed to say this time.
Chang Yu nodded slightly, looked at Zukfa and asked, "How many soldiers do you lead?"
Zukefa was startled at first, then blurted out: "Lead...the humble position of leading three people." After speaking, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and his expression became nervous. Chang Yu let out a laugh and looked at Zu Zerun: "What about you?"
"There are also three people in humble positions"
"There are more than 1,600 soldiers in this fort. You only lead three men each. Who will lead the rest?"
"General Ma, lead the army," the two brothers said in unison.
Ma Ke chuckled without raising his head: "My soldiers are in Ningyuan, and there are only about thirty riders here." Zu Zerun's expression changed after hearing this, and he quickly said: "There are thousands of households led by Lu Dacheng."
Wu Zhong, Tu Yuan and even Kuang Ren were confused when they heard this. They didn't know why Chang Yu asked this, and why the brothers from the Zu family were so nervous. However, Li Muchian and others knew that if they answered carelessly, they would have to go to jail. Eye drops, and there are many pitfalls in this problem.
First of all, Zu Dashou is Ningyuan's commander, and Tashan Fort is also his soldier. When he is there, he will naturally lead it. Although his two sons have no military positions, they can also command as family generals.
But when Zu Dashou is away, Zu Zerun and Zu Kefa cannot lead the troops. The reason is simple. They have no military positions or ranks. They are just Zu Dashou's personal soldiers or generals and servants. You have no right to lead the troops, otherwise It means crossing the line and breaking the rules.
The ancestral brothers said that Marco could take it, but Marco obviously didn't want to cross the line, but why didn't they say, Lord Governor, you can take it.
No, Chang Yu is an eunuch. Although he has the actual power to command, he is only a supervisor in name and cannot lead troops. Regardless of whether he actually leads them, but not in name! Just like everyone knows that the Dongchang Guards are his private soldiers, but they are known as the emperor's personal soldiers!
Who would have thought that he was once a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty and later became a high-ranking official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He was already a middle-aged man in his forties. At this time, he was facing a teenage eunuch and was asked several seemingly Simple question, full of trepidation.
"This person, that person, is it possible that General Zu has left, and there is no leader in this Tashan Fort?" Chang Yu showed a displeased look on his face, and Zu Zerun and the other two were frightened: "The humble position is no more than a servant of the Zu family." , the fact of this leadership is unknown.”
This was said very humbly, and the position was very upright. I am just a domestic servant, and I can't control so many things.
Chang Yu hummed and said, "What didn't General Zu tell you two when he left?"
"Returning to Lord Du Gong, when my father left, he only told us to obey orders and did not say anything else," Zu Zerun said hurriedly.
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Go and ask Lu Dacheng to come see you. By the way, go and feed the governor's horse some good bean cakes."
Zu Zerun and the other two hurriedly kowtowed and left.
