He believed that Li Yan could handle the matter successfully, and Li Yan also sent him secret messages from time to time to inform him of the plan and progress. Therefore, although Chang Yu could not immediately He had a grasp of the progress and situation there, but he also had a rough idea. Before going to Tashan Fort, he had expected that something good was coming. Maybe Liu Zongmin would leave before the year. In this way, Li Zicheng's strength in Xi'an would be greatly reduced. This will make it easier to manipulate Li Zicheng in the future, but he is not going to take action against Li Zicheng next. Regardless of whether there is foreign trouble or not, this moment is not a good time to take action.
After all, Li Zicheng is still a centipede, and he is still alive. With the strength of the court at this time, it is still too difficult to kill him, so he wants to further weaken Li Zicheng's strength, and the starting point is Li Zicheng's rear area, Jingzhou and Xiangyang!
Do you think he went to war a few months ago, mobilizing troops from Wuchang and even Huang Degong from Anqing, just to conduct exercises to scare Zhang Xianzhong?
Intimidating and delaying Zhang Xianzhong is only one of them. It can only temporarily intimidate and delay Zhang Xianzhong's expansion and consolidation of power. It is almost impossible to penetrate through waterways, and it is unrealistic to prepare to enter Sichuan to fight in such a hasty manner. The other part of the big exercise is There is a profound meaning that few people can see through, that is, he is plotting against Jingzhou!
And for this reason, he had already prepared a backup plan, otherwise why would he let Huang Degong pass, and why would he leave his two battalions there.
I originally planned to go for a walk outside the customs and then go there, but now it seems that I have to postpone it because there are more important things to do at the moment, and that is to fight with Dorgon!
In fact, Chang Yu didn't expect to have a big fight with Dorgon before he came out of seclusion, but the situation has changed and things have come to this point. The two sides are on the verge of a fight, and it is impossible not to fight!
Moreover, the initiative in this battle is not in his hands, but in the hands of Dorgon. Dorgon, who is suffering from internal and external troubles, needs a war to turn over, a war to change the situation, a war to pour out the internal pressure and Knock on little brother North Korea.
If it were someone else, maybe they would show weakness at this time, such as keeping a low profile, or even withdrawing to Ningyuan.
But Chang Yu’s urinary nature has always been that if you want to do it, we’ll do it!
Not only did he not keep a low profile, he even went to Jinzhou City to set a fire and add fuel to the fire!
So the angry Dorgon ignored him and just touched him!
Both sides knew that this battle was unavoidable and had to be fought, so they sat down to prepare. Dorgon, who originally wanted to strike first, delayed the attack due to a heavy snowfall and cautious considerations, thus allowing Tashan Fort's Ming to attack. The army took a breath, dug trenches, and waited for Zu Dabi's 5,000 reinforcements.
But today, the snow is light, and Chang Yu knows that there is not much time left for him.
Early in the morning, Zu Zerun came over to say hello and said he would lead the team out to continue digging trenches. Chang Yu thought for a while and asked him to go later. As Li Muchian expected, he was going to hold a mobilization meeting.
It is not uncommon to mobilize soldiers to inject chicken blood before a war. It has been a compulsory course at all times and in all countries. Chang Yu is no exception and is good at this.
Snow is still falling in the sky, smaller but faster than yesterday.
Chang Yu stood at the lookout post on Tashan Fort, looking at the dark crowd of heads below. He cleared his throat and started his performance. From family feud to national hatred, from duty to bloodiness, after a few sets of rhetoric, he let the people below The soldiers' blood surged with enthusiasm.
Whether it's motivation, chicken soup, brainwashing, or belief, Chang Yu's goal is to boost morale and make the soldiers fearless. And now the tens of thousands of soldiers in Tashan Fort are doing what he wants, and they are all excited and want to swing their swords right away. Go kill the enemy.
However, this fashion was not the time to kill the enemy, so he went to dig trenches with enthusiasm.
"The governor is so eloquent that the poor Taoist's blood boiled with excitement. He wished he could go to Jinzhou City and kill Dorgon single-handedly." When Chang Yu was having breakfast, Li Muchian came over to speak with admiration on his face.
Chang Yu raised his head and glanced at him, and snorted: "I still remember that time when the Taoist priest outside Zhending Mansion showed a miracle, and there were hundreds of responses, oh no, it was all responses. That scene is still clearly imprinted in my mind. Every time I think about it, I break out in cold sweat. !”
These words made Li Muxian tremble: "Master Governor, don't think too much. I was acting on your orders at that time, and it was definitely not the words of Li Chuang and others who deceived the public..."
Chang Yu interrupted him: "Don't be humble, Taoist priest. This is how Li Chuang got his start, but if you do it, you will definitely do it better than him..."
No, no, no, no, Li Muxian was so frightened that he waved his hands: "To confuse the crowd with evil words, and to gather a crowd to rebel is the death penalty for the nine tribes, poor Taoists will not do that." After saying that, he looked at Chang Yu's face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Foolish people are easily fooled. A poor Taoist is only capable of bewitching, but motivating soldiers requires a lot of skills. Soldiers have a lot of experience in fighting, so they are not easy to fool...especially some veteran veterans, they don't do that at all..."
"Are you saying that the governor is deceiving them?" Chang Yu glared at him, and Li Muchian quickly said: "No, no, no, it's motivation. What Pindao just said was motivation..."
While they were talking, Kuang Ren hurriedly came to report: "Master Du Gong, Zu Dabi was besieged by Tatars in Xingshan!"
Chang Yu stood up suddenly: "How many people are there in the Tatars?"
"It is reported that the Tatars have nearly a hundred riders," Kuang Ren said quickly.
Damn it, Chang Yu slapped the table, why did this guy wander so far away, and then rushed out: "Is there someone to help?"
"A patrol of more than ten cavalrymen near the trench has rushed to the rescue after receiving the news, and there are several more soldiers and horses following. It is estimated that they have reached the end of the field at this time." Kuang Ren followed Chang Yu out of the house: "Zu Dabi himself knows a lot With ten cavalry, the Tatars may not be able to withstand him for a while, and they should be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive."
"Prepare your horses!" Chang Yu shouted, rushed back to the bedroom, bumped into Wang Zhengnan, and said: "Put on your armor and leave the city."
Wang Zhengnan didn't know what happened. When he saw Chang Yu put on his armor, he quickly put on his armor too and said, "What happened to Mr. Du Gong?"
"Zu Dabi was surrounded by Tatars in Xingshan." Chang Yu said and walked out of the house. Tu Yuan and Ji Jike happened to hear about it and came over. Chang Yu waved his hand and said: "Hello people, go quickly" and turned over. At the same time, Renren led more than 20 personal guards to leave the city first.
The wind howled outside the city, mixed with snow foam and swept over his face. It was biting and cold. Chang Yu frowned and ran wildly with a sullen face. Everything he looked at was gray and white. At this moment, he felt extremely worried and incomparable. of anxiety.
Early in the morning, he knew that Zu Dabi led his soldiers out of the city for a walk. They were all of good temperament and had similar styles. He understood and supported Zu Dabi's behavior, but he didn't expect him. After wandering so far, I didn't expect to be besieged by the Tatars.
It can be seen that the Tatars, who had been holding back for several days, finally started to take action. Perhaps they themselves did not expect that they would meet one of the local generals when they left the army.
Zu Dabi deserved his misfortune.
But Chang Yu didn't want anything to happen to him. After all, losing the general before the battle would be detrimental to the morale of the army!
However, there are many things that he can't control!
More than a hundred cavalry surrounded less than thirty cavalry. If the fight goes smoothly, the group will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. I hope Zu Dabi can carry it until reinforcements arrive!
