One is that he has eavesdropping seeds on his body. If he goes to Gao Qiqian's side, he can let Emperor Chongzhen grasp the situation on the battlefield in real time.
The second is to reassure him so that he no longer has worries. After all, everyone hanged himself, which proved that his loyalty to the emperor was unquestionable. Although it has flaws, it is still usable.
The third is to prevent him from meeting Cao Huachun, and through the arrangements for Wang Chengen, it can also indirectly calm Cao Huachun's heart, making him believe that the emperor keeps his word, and he will have no worries if he turns back and starts fighting.
Wang Chengen was naturally happy, but at this dark time, no one else was happy.
Gao Qiqian's headquarters, the Chinese army camp, and generals from all walks of life were all crying here.
"Sir, the general's troops have been crippled by the Tatars, and they really can't be defeated!"
"Sir, the general's men have suffered heavy losses. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to take a look. The servants are almost dead! Those Tatars are too cruel!"
"Sir, the Tatars are getting stronger and stronger, we can't fight anymore!"
"..."
A word from you or a word from me can make everyone in the main seat look as ugly as possible.
In fact, he also knew that the Tatars were very ferocious and powerful. If possible, then, since they were unable to defeat the Tatars, they would have to resort to the thirty-sixth strategy.
However, now he has no way out. If he dares to retreat, the Tatars will definitely attack Jiazhuang with all their strength, and Lu Xiangsheng will definitely die in the battle!
"Lu Shangshu, Lu Shangshu, aren't you good at fighting? Why don't you just break out by yourself, and you still have to advance and retreat with those lowly soldiers?" Gao Qi complained to Lu Xiangsheng with all his heart.
As a supervisor who had worked with Lu Xiangsheng, he naturally knew Lu Xiangsheng's bravery, and he also knew that Lu Xiangsheng ran among soldiers all day long. If he didn't retract his report at night and said that the fighting was still going on in Jiazhuang, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng must be engaging in "life and death" with his men.
Gao Qiqian remained silent, but Yang Tinglin beside him became angry and shouted loudly: "Tatars are human beings, aren't you human beings? Look at the Tianxiong Army. They only have three thousand troops, but they are at the forefront. Why should they retreat?" Pass?"
"Sir, that's not what you said!" When a military general heard this, he quickly defended, "The Tianxiong Army was brought up by Lu Shangshu. It is naturally very powerful, but we are not. How can we fight against Tianxiong Army?" The army goes to compete..."
When Yang Tinglin heard this, his face turned red with anger. This was no excuse at all.
Although he is a civilian official, he has been in the army for a long time and has discovered the problem while observing the formation. He interrupted the man and shouted: "Don't lie to me that I don't know. You are simply afraid of the Tatars and do not dare to fight with them." Fight to the death. If you really have the courage to fight to the death between the Tianxiong Army and the Tatars, I will not believe it. You will be defeated by the Tatars so easily? If you dare not try your best again, I will definitely impeach you. The emperor has a clear purpose , do you know what is waiting for you?"
"Sir, what you said is wrong!" A general immediately retorted, "Sir, please look here. The general is fighting bravely. A Tatar shot an arrow here. Fortunately, the general wears an extra piece of armor, otherwise he would have died. If you die in battle, doesn’t that count as your best effort?”
"Yes, sir, you see that the last general is also injured. This is the testimony of the last general's fight to the death!"
"Sir, what you said is so unfair. The death of the general's men was in vain. They all died in battle!"
"..."
Yang Tinglin pointed at them and refuted them one by one: "I saw clearly that I was hit by a stray arrow. I was so scared that you withdrew from the battlefield immediately, didn't you?"
"And you, when did your men die the most? Was it when they retreated from the battlefield? Was it?"
"..."
There was a huge quarrel in the big tent, and finally Gao Qiqian couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed the table and made a loud "snap", and the tent suddenly fell silent.
Gao Qiqian also stood up at the same time, staring at everyone below with his eyes like a poisonous snake, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Stop arguing, no one should think about withdrawing until Lu Shangshu is rescued! I tell you, Don’t force our family to kill people!”
If a dog is in a hurry, it will jump over the wall; if it is in a hurry, it is also a dog that can kill. These generals also knew that if they were defeated and fled first, the consequences would be unbearable, so they restrained themselves a little and did not dare to go out and make any more noise.
While discussing matters here, matters were also being discussed in Dorgon's tent in the Manchurian Central Army Camp.
"What the hell, these Ming troops in the pass are actually more resistant to fighting than Guan Ning's army!" Hauge cursed and yelled, "They had obviously retreated, but they gathered back again. If Guan Ning's army had escaped, they would have fled long ago. Back to the city!"
Yue Tuo also agreed with this, nodded and said: "The combat power of this Ming army is indeed average. For me, it is not as good as the Guan Ning army outside the pass, but it just won't retreat!"
Hearing their words, Dorgon frowned and said: "It seems that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty should have issued a death order, and anyone who dares to escape will be punished with death. They dare not escape, but you should also be able to feel their attacks. In fact, it’s not very strong!”
"Uncle Wang is right!" Yue Tuo also agreed with this and echoed, "This Ming army is like brown sugar. If you don't beat them, they will arch to the north. If you beat them, they will shrink into a ball. How can you beat them?" I’m not even broken, it’s a bit nerve-wracking!”
When Hauge heard this, he was about to speak, but Dorgon had already said it before him: "It seems that they want to save Lu Xiangsheng. It is very likely that if Lu Xiangsheng is not rescued, they will all be punished with death!"
"Then why is there no news from Jiazhuang?" After hearing this, Hauge changed the subject and asked Dorgon, "If the white flag doesn't work, I will go tomorrow and capture just a Jiazhuang without any trouble!"
Dorgon also frowned after hearing this. It was getting dark now. The previous military order given to Turge was to capture Jiazhuang before dark, but now, there is still no news. It is basically certain that the war in Jiazhuang is not going well.
But even though he thought so, he never thought that Jiazhuang would be defeated. After all, he was just an ordinary Zhuangzi from the Ming Dynasty. Even if he had a few remnants of Lu Xiangsheng's army, what would happen? You know, there are a full 10,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty over there!
"I have seen that Jiazhuang. Although it is considered steep and the walls are high." Dorgon frowned and said, "But that is only for ordinary bandits. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, all the fortified cities have been laid down. There's a lot of damage, there's no reason why they can't even defeat an ordinary village."
Having said this, he immediately shouted: "Is there someone here?"
"Cha!" A personal guard immediately stepped forward to standby.
Just when Dorgon was about to send someone to take a look at Jiazhuang, he heard noise coming from outside, and then a personal guard came in and reported: "Master, Turg is back!"
