Chapter 39 God knows——
Zhang Ruolin, a doctor in the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, sat in the lobby and looked at the livid-faced Cao Bianjiao and said slowly: "General Cao should understand that Hong Chengchou fled Songshan. What kind of crime would this escape be?"
Cao Bianjiao said: "Songshan has been surrounded by Jiannu. If the commander does not break out of the encirclement soon, he may be in danger of annihilation."
p>Zhang Ruolin sneered and said: "If he had listened to my words and fought with Jiannu at the gate of Jinzhou City long ago, how could he have the current miserable situation."
Cao Bianjiao looked at Zhang Ruolin and said: "If the commander-in-chief had not withdrawn from Jinzhou earlier, he would have faced Zu Dashou's backlash."
Zhang Ruolin said: "If Hong Chengchou did not retreat, how could Zu Dashou surrender?"
Cao Bianjiao He stood up and said, "Mr. Sir, you might as well sit down again. Cao will send troops to greet the commander-in-chief right away."
Zhang Ruolin said sternly: "Don't General Cao worry about your wife, children, and children?"
Cao Bianjiao said angrily: "Cao is dedicated to the country, how can he not protect his family?"
Zhang Ruolin said: "If General Cao is sitting in the Xingshan camp, his family will naturally be fine. If The general raised his troops to welcome Hong Chengchou, something terrible will happen to him."
Cao Bianjiao sat on his chair sluggishly and I said feebly: "Yun Zhao, Li Hongji, and Zhang Bingzhong are wreaking havoc on the world, and the slaves are knocking on their knees. We are here today. Lose a city, lose a county tomorrow...
Zhang Langzhong, Cao Bianjiao is tired, he only hopes to retire and return home after this battle."
Zhang Ruolin said: "If you can follow the instructions. My plan is to keep you safe."
Cao Bianjiao smiled bitterly and said: "The fate of killing Han is cheap, just listen to the doctor."
After saying that, he went straight. After paying the bills, the originally tall and burly figure was hunched over at this moment, lifeless.
When Zhang Ruolin saw this, he sighed and said: "Don't blame me, Hong Chengchou has died without a burial place. We people can't be buried with him."
At this moment, a The scouts covered in mud and water hurriedly reported: "Hong Chengchou's army has approached Xingshan, and forward Wu Sangui has requested to enter the Xingshan camp."
"That's right."
Zhang Ruolin replied calmly As soon as there was a report, the officer said: "After Wu Sangui enters the stronghold, order him to come to see me."
For Wu Sangui, the farthest distance in the world is the eighty-mile stretch from Songshan to Xingshan. Land.
As soon as he entered the Xingshan camp, he shouted: "Where is General Cao? Go quickly to meet the commander-in-chief."
I shouted several times, but no one responded. I was about to call again. While shouting, he saw Zhang Ruolin walking out of the wooden house and checking on the exhausted Guan Ning Cavalry with his hands behind his back.
"Can the general fight again?"
Listening to Zhang Ruolin's words, Wu Sangui's pupils widened in an instant. He looked at himself up and down, and then pointed at himself to break. The tattered body said: "Does Mr. Zhang think Wu Sangui can fight again?"
Zhang Ruolin put his hands behind his backSaid: "General Wu bravely defeated the three armies, but now he is exhausted. I wonder if Governor Hong still has the strength to fight again?"
Wu Sangui frowned and said: "Mr. Zhang, Wu is a rough warrior. If there is anything Zhang Ruolin said: "Jinzhou, Tiechang, Dalinghe, Jin'an, Youtunwei, Tuanshan, Zhenning, Zhenyuan, Zhen'an, Jingping, Zhenbian" , Daqing Fort, Dakang Fort, Zhenwu Fort, Zhuangzhen Fort, Luyangyi, Shisanshanyi, Xiaolinghe, Songshan, a total of nineteen forts were lost.
Commander Hong was lost. Can we still take it back?”
Wu Sangui’s eyes widened and he said, “Why did Mr. Zhang say this? Didn’t you force Hong Shuai to rescue Jinzhou in the first place?”
Zhang Ruolin was angry. Said: "I hope to rescue Jinzhou, but I don't want you to lose Jinzhou, let alone the three hundred miles behind Jinzhou."
Wu Sangui sneered and said: "The commander-in-chief will be here in a moment. , Doctor Zhang can tell Commander-in-Chief these things, which is not something that a warrior like me, Wu Sangui, can do.”
Zhang Ruolin sneered and said, “Okay, I will naturally argue with Commander-in-Chief Hong.” Obviously, while we are arguing, I hope General Wu would like to thank His Majesty for his kindness to your Wu family."
Wu Sangui looked at Zhang Ruolin as if he were a dead man. Zhang Ruolin felt weak when he saw it, and some of him asked angrily: "How are you doing?"
Wu Sangui shook his head and said: "I'm waiting to see the excitement."
"Insolent!" Zhang Ruolin Furious.
Wu Sangui chuckled and said: "You're stingy, just don't look at it."
After saying that, he called out to Guan Ning's cavalry who was lying on the ground in a mess, and summoned a good friend. Xingshan guard Wang Xin helped his men to the military camp and invited military doctors to treat their injuries.
Wang Xin saw that although Guan Ning's cavalry were in a sorry state, they were all arrogant, so he asked Wu Sangui in a low voice: "How is it?"
Wu Sangui chuckled and said: "I attacked. Huang Taiji killed many of his Zhenghuang Banner soldiers. If Dorgon hadn't been more than ten miles behind us, we would have killed Huang Taiji even if we risked our lives.
I would still be here. When Jiannu was surrounded on all sides, he defeated the Mongolian cavalry brigade and beheaded no less than three thousand people. He returned from Songshan abruptly. Let me tell you, in this battle, we will not kill less than 20,000 enemies. "
"What?" Wang Xin was surprised.
Wu Sangui patted Wang Xin on the shoulder and said: "If you want to survive, don't listen to those poor people who exchanged Songshan for 20,000 Jiannu. How can this transaction be considered worthwhile?"
p>
"Xingshan?"
"Hey, Xingshan will be the same. The commander-in-chief is going to take us back to Shanhaiguan and fight all the way. When we return to Shanhaiguan, we will build the slave army. It will be almost exhausted.
When the time comes, we will regroup the army inside the pass and go out to recapture those lands. It will not be a big deal."
"Saving land and losing people., people and land are lost, people and land are saved, people and land are saved? "
"Yes, that's the truth. What does that pig Zhang Ruolin know? Anyway, it's us big-headed soldiers who died, not them. For the sake of a little face, they don't care how we die. "
"You have to be careful. Zhang Ruolin has already persuaded the Commander-in-Chief. When the commander-in-chief and his troops arrive at Xingshan, they will leave Xingshan for Bijialing, and they want you to be at the front. "
When Wu Sangui heard this, he was silent for a moment and said: "Treat my injury first..."
Hong Chengchou was the last person to enter the Xingshan camp.
He saw Zhang Ruolin standing in the camp with his hands behind his back from a distance. He ignored this person and continued to watch his subordinates walk into the Xingshan Camp.
Watching the last one. After a sledge pulled by a mule entered the camp, he ordered the camp to be closed.
"Hong Shuai, I have something to say! "
Zhang Ruolin stood ten feet away and yelled at Hong Chengchou angrily.
Hong Chengchou raised his eyes and gave Zhang Ruolin a sinister look and said: "Shut your mouth, and then If you dare to say one more word, I will cut you into pieces immediately! ”
Zhang Ruolin saw Hong Chengchou’s beard and hair curled up, and his mouth wriggled a few times. After all, he did not dare to say another word. He felt that once he angered Hong Chengchou again, there was a high possibility that he would be dismembered. It happened to him.
So, he hugged Hong Chengchou and turned around to leave.
After checking the wounded barracks, Hong Chengchou sat in the Chinese army tent and said. Sipping tea, saying nothing.
Until now, Cao Bianjiao has not shown up, which is already telling.
The Jiannu Camp also followed them to Xing. Shan was stationed just ten miles away.
The scene at this time was no different from Songshan.
Chen Dong stood in the corner of the camp with his arms folded and did not speak. p>Hong Chengchou finally drank all the water in the cup, but no one refilled it, so he handed the cup to Chen Dong and said, "Pour in water. ”
Chen Dong poured a glass of water from his kettle and handed it to Hong Chengchou again.
Hong Chengchou drank the water in the glass in one gulp like a buffalo.
p>
"Here comes my trouble. "
Hong Chengchou whispered.
Chen Dong smiled and said: "Do people like Zhang Ruolin often appear in your army?
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "It was more troublesome in the past. There were often a group of eunuchs in the army." "
Chen Dong heard the sound of troops mobilizing outside the military tent, and said to Hong Chengchou: "I remember that you are the supreme commander of the Liaodong Army.
Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "No matter how high you are, you can't reach the Ministry of War." "
Chen Dong said strangely: "Can the Ministry of War bypass you as the commander-in-chief and mobilize the army privately?
Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "This is a common thing. In the past, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who has not experienced these things?"Where is love?
Chen Dong said: "This is a bullshit fight. The commander-in-chief should kill that person."
Hong Chengchou looked at Chen Dong with a smile and said: "If I kill Zhang Ruolin, I will have to leave the army immediately and go to Lantian." ”
“Let’s go, isn’t this just right?” "
Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "I can't bear to leave these soldiers..."
This time Chen Dong stopped encouraging Hong Chengchou and left immediately. If it were him, he wouldn't dare Leaving this group of soldiers who trusted the commander to escape alone, Lantian might not be willing to accept it if he escaped like this.
"This battle was a good one! "
Hong Chengchou leaned back on the chair, sighed, and fell asleep like this.
Wu Sangui watched Cao Bianjiao's 12,000 troops leave the Xingshan camp and stopped him The subordinates were noisy and walked into Hong Chengchou's tent alone. When they saw Hong Chengchou sleeping soundly, they imitated the strange man in black and stood silently in the corner.
"Cao Bianjiao just left like this?" "Hong Chengchou's voice sounded faintly in the big tent.
"Zhang Ruolin took the Ministry of War documents and transferred Cao Bianjiao away.
Hong Chengchou said: "Go and tell Cao Bianjiao that we have not seen any trace of Duduo during our battle." "
Wu Sangui was startled. He looked up at Hong Chengchou who had woken up and said, "Duduo is in Bijia Mountain?
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "After reporting the news, it's time to rest. Jiannu will not give us too much rest time." "
"Cao Bianjiao left the artillery behind.
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "I know that Lao Cao is unwilling to leave, but he has no choice but to leave." "
"But Duoduo..."
"If you have a good fight, Lao Cao may not lose. It is also a good thing to let Zhang Ruolin see the battlefield, so that he can completely shut down. Having fallen for his bullshit, we will eventually return to Shanhaiguan.
Chen Xinjia always said that our extravagance was extremely heavy. When we arrived at Shanhaiguan, the extravagance would not be heavy anymore, and the Ming Dynasty could sustain it for several years.
Wu Sangui looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Commander Commander, where should we go?" "
Hong Chengchou laughed sadly and said: "God knows! ”
