One hundred and twelve, cheating(1/2)
Fang Guangchen sneered in his heart when he heard this, and said to himself: "This Wang Fuchen pretends to be quite similar!" Then he said with a smile on his face and gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Wang!"
Wang Fuchen waved his hand and said: "I, Wang Fuchen, and Prince Pingxi's Mansion have always been on the same boat. Brother Fang doesn't have to be so polite!"
After Wang Fuchen's words changed, he asked again: "Brother Fang, I wonder what we should do after we destroy the Tatar soldiers in Xi'an? You should just listen to me earlier!"
Fang Guangchen said: "When Brother Wang captures the Tatar soldiers, I have to trouble Brother Wang to send heavy troops to garrison Tongguan County to prevent the Tatars from counterattacking. Tongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With Brother Wang's strength, it will not be possible to defend it for a year and a half."
The problem is, the royal army should have almost arrived in Shaanxi by then. Naturally, there will be no more crisis!"
Wang Fuchen nodded after listening, and Fang Guangchen chatted with Wang Fuchen for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
In the next two days, just as Fang Guangchen had guessed, Wang Fuchen kept using the excuse that the food and grass had not arrived yet and refused to send troops!
Fang Guangchen was actually not in a hurry at all, but he still asked Wang Fuchen at least three times a day where the food and grass were!
Wang Fuchen naturally used various excuses, but every time after dealing with Fang Guangchen, Wang Fuchen would always look at the horizon involuntarily, as if expecting a dove to appear from the horizon!
It is said that Kang Mazi received Wang Fuchen’s letter late at night the next night!
While Kang Mazi was doing something meaningful with his fair and tender concubine in his arms, the little eunuch's voice came from outside the room: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent report from Shaanxi..."
Normally, the little eunuch would never have the guts to disturb Kang Mazi at this time. If he ruined Long Live Lord's interest, he would be slapped with a slap at the very least!
It's just that Kang Mazi had a strict order before. As long as there is news about Shaanxi or Yunnan, he must report it immediately no matter when and where. If the official business is delayed, come and see him!
Between being slapped on the board and losing his head, the little eunuch naturally chose to be slapped on the board. Kang Mazi in the room was about to start an exciting exercise. Listening to the little eunuch's voice, he suddenly became excited and the little bug became smaller!
Kang Anshi didn't care much and let the concubine on the bed help him put on his clothes before walking out of the room and glancing at the little eunuch!
The little eunuch was so cold that sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly handed the small bamboo tube in his hand to Kang Mazi and said: "Your Majesty, this is a flying pigeon message sent from the dove room in the palace. It comes from Shaanxi. I don't mind you."
If you dare to delay, send it over immediately!"
Kang Mazi took the bamboo tube without looking at it first, and just said: "Go to the study!"
After speaking, he walked towards the study room first. The little eunuch next to him heard that Kang Mazi did not blame him, and said to himself: "You escaped a disaster!" Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly followed Kang Mazi's footsteps!
When he arrived at the study room, Kang Mazi sat down on the dragon chair and couldn't wait to take out the note in the bamboo tube and read it!
Slowly, Kang Mazi's face changed from normal to blue, then to purple, and finally to red!
After Kang Mazi pressed the note on the dragon case in front of him, Kang Mazi, who thought he would be furious, unexpectedly calmed down.
The note was sent by Wang Fuchen. It didn't say much, but everything made Kang Mazi a little shocked and angry.
First, Wang Fuchen confirmed that Shunzhi was indeed caught by Wu Yingxiong, and that the person who led all this was not Fang Guangchen as he thought, but Wu Yingxiong, whom he had always looked down upon. He was deceived by the bear Wu Yingxiong!
Secondly, Wu Yingxiong not only captured Shunzhi, but now also wants to capture Shaanxi and wipe out the 10,000 Tatar soldiers in Xi'an!
Third, what should Wang Fuchen do when he asks for instructions?
Kang Mazi sat on the dragon chair for a while, and said to himself coldly: "Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong! You stinky bear is really my good brother-in-law! You want Shaanxi? Don't be afraid.
I’ll hold you to death!”
Kang Mazi shouted to the little eunuch waiting beside him: "Bring me the map!"
The little eunuch hurriedly went to get the map and spread it on the dragon table in front of Kang Mazi.
Kang Mazi leaned down and observed the map, and pondered in his mind: "Wu Yingxiong has not entered Tongguan yet, but is waiting for Wang Fuchen to take people to pick him up. He never expected that Wang Fuchen has always been loyal to me and is waiting for Luying
He was arrested when the soldiers arrived at Tongguan! However, as it concerns my father, we still have to let the Eight Banners soldiers take the lead to prevent the Green Camp soldiers from having inappropriate thoughts! In addition..."
Kang Mazi thought and pointed his finger at Hanzhong in Shaanxi, thinking: "After this time, the Prince of Pingxi will definitely rebel, and it is very important to guard Hanzhong! Wang Fuchen will divide five thousand troops to go to Tongguan, and the remaining troops must be sent
Go to Hanzhong to guard..."
Kang Mazi no longer hesitated and wrote two secret orders to Wang Fuchen and Fu Deng in Xi'an respectively, asking Wang Fuchen to agree to Fang Guangchen's request and send Fang Guangchen 5,000 troops to Tongguan, and to order Wang Fuchen to take the rest immediately after Fang Guangchen left.
Soldiers and horses went to reinforce Hanzhong;
Order Fu Deng to take five thousand Eight Banners soldiers and horses to Tongguan to coordinate the operation, capture Wu Yingxiong and save Emperor Shunzhi!
After Kang Mazi finished writing the secret edict, he checked it briefly and stuffed the two notes into the bamboo tube.
Then he handed it to the little eunuch beside him and said: "Send it out immediately!"
The little eunuch took the bamboo tube, bent his waist deeply, and said, "Hey!" Then he took the bamboo tube and left the study room!
On the other side, Yang Ke, who was helping out near Wang Fuchen's barracks, was a bit over the top. Yang Ke now had more than thirty people under his command.
And Yang Ke has been trying to catch pigeons outside Wang Fuchen's barracks recently. It seems that the two palace guards intercepted Wang Fuchen's pigeons easily last time. In fact, trying to intercept pigeons flying to the barracks from outside is a bit difficult.
Difficult!
Although it can be roughly determined from which direction the pigeons will fly, the areas in these directions are not precise at all. With Yang Ke's current manpower, it is inevitable that some places will be missed!
Just when Yang Ke had a headache, Yang Yizhi rushed over with more than a hundred people. Yang Yizhi originally thought he would meet Fang Guangchen halfway, but he didn't expect that he walked for three days in a row to reach Wang Fuchen's barracks in Chencang!
When Yang Ke saw Yang Yizhi bringing people here, he was overjoyed. The problem of manpower shortage was finally solved!
In the afternoon when Yang Yizhi came with his people, the palace guards intercepted a pigeon flying from the direction of Xi'an!
After catching the pigeon, the guards of the palace returned to where they stayed and gave Yang Yizhi the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg!
After reading this, Yang Yizhi frowned, ordered Haosheng to take care of the pigeons, and then said to Yang Ke: "Yang Ke, I sneaked into the military camp to find Mr. Fang tonight. Mr. Fang still needs to make a decision on this matter!"
Yang Ke cupped his hands and said: "General Yang, I already infiltrated once last time, I will lead the way for you!"
Yang Yizhi thought for a moment and said, "That's fine!"
That night, Yang Yizhi and Yang Ke took advantage of the moonlight to sneak into Wang Fuchen's military camp and found Fang Guangchen!
Fang Guangchen was also very surprised when he saw Yang Yizhi, and asked worriedly: "General Yang, could something happen to the young prince?"
Yang Yizhi said: "Mr. Fang, don't worry. The young prince is very safe now. It's just that the young prince is afraid that Mr. Fang doesn't have enough manpower, so he asked me to come over and help!"
Fang Guangchen nodded first, and then said worriedly: "General Yang, if you leave, what about the safety of the young prince?"
Yang Yizhi smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not worried, it's just that the young prince insists on doing this. But with the young prince's martial arts, there won't be any problems!"
Fang Guangchen could only nod helplessly after hearing this. Being in the enemy camp, Yang Yizhi no longer wasted time and handed the intercepted letter to Fang Guangchen!
Fang Guangchen read the contents of the letter, sneered and said, "This is a simple matter!" He followed Fang Guangchen and took out a pen and paper!
The skill of forging marriage certificates at the Viscount's Palace in Beijing came into play again, and he imitated Kang Mazi's handwriting and wrote a new letter again!
Kang Mazi originally asked Wang Fuchen to lead troops to Hanzhong immediately after Fang Guangchen left, but now he asked Wang Fuchen to take all the troops to Tongguan!
After Fang Guangchen finished writing, he looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, then handed the letter to Yang Yizhi, and said jokingly: "General Yang, didn't the brothers roast the pigeons and beat their teeth as a sacrifice?"
Yang Yizhi smiled as he listened and said: "There is a lot of game in the mountains. Even for a tooth beating ceremony, there is no need for pigeons with only two ounces of meat. Don't worry, Mr. Fang!"
Yang Yizhi didn't stay long, and sneaked out of the barracks with Yang Ke. After returning to the camp, he stuffed the corrected letter into the bamboo tube, tied it to the pigeon's leg again, and released the pigeon!
The freed pigeon flew directly to Wang Fuchen's military camp, and Wang Fuchen was actually quite anxious now. The time had been delayed for four days. Fang Guangchen came over every day to ask about food and grass, and it seemed that it could no longer be delayed. Kang Mazi
The reply has not come yet.
Wang Fuchen was naturally overjoyed when he finally received a letter from Kang Mazi. The letter was sent to the commander's tent by Wang Fuchen's son Wang Jizhen.
Wang Fuchen frowned slightly after reading the letter. Wang Jizhen asked: "Father, what did the emperor say?"
Wang Fuchen pondered and said nothing. He thought for a while and did not answer his son's words. Instead, he said: "Give me the emperor's secret decree!"
Wang Jizhen was a little puzzled, but she still took out the secret order Kang Mazi had given to Wang Fuchen!
After taking it, Wang Fuchen checked it and said softly to himself: "It is indeed the emperor's handwriting!" Then he sighed and said: "The emperor still doesn't trust me!"
Wang Jizhen asked in a low voice: "What does father mean?"
Wang Fuchen said: "I thought the emperor would ask me to send troops to Hanzhong to guard Wu Sangui's northern expedition. Unexpectedly, the emperor just asked me to take all the soldiers and horses to Tongguan, and also asked Fu Deng to send five thousand soldiers and horses together.
Go and assist!"
Wang Jizhen listened and said: "The emperor is afraid that his father will have an old relationship with Wu Sangui, so he will easily hand over Hanzhong to Wu Sangui!"
Wang Fuchen nodded, and Wang Jizhen asked again: "Father, what should we do now? Or else send a message to ask the emperor?"
Wang Fuchen shook his head and said: "No, it takes four days for the flying pigeon to send the message. Since the emperor has made arrangements, if we don't follow the emperor's instructions, we will make the emperor unhappy! Let's follow the emperor's instructions now.
Just go ahead and do it, you can immediately send someone to deliver the food and grass tomorrow morning, and the army will set out for Tongguan tomorrow afternoon!"
Wang Jizhen said: "Yes!" After that, she turned and left the handsome tent.
Wang Fuchen was sitting on a chair, wondering what was going on in his mind. He was slightly shaken and thought to himself, "Should I leave a way out for myself?"
The next day, Fang Guangchen came to Wang Fuchen's commander's tent early in the morning again. As soon as he entered the commander's tent, he saw Wang Fuchen wearing armor.
As soon as Wang Fuchen saw Fang Guangchen, he said directly: "Brother Fang, the food and grass have been shipped one after another early this morning. I will order the front army to prepare to leave!"
Fang Guangchen said happily: "That's great!"
Wang Fuchen then said: "Brother Fang, I've thought about it. To be cautious, I'd better take all my troops and horses to go to Tongguan with you?"
Fang Guangchen pretended to be confused and asked: "Why is this?"
Wang Fuchen said with a serious face: "I have received reports from spies that the Tatar army in Xi'an is preparing to secretly march towards Tongguan. Brother Fang also knows that the Tatar army has always been stronger than the Green Camp soldiers. If it is just
If you run into the Tatars on the way with five thousand soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it will be bad!"
Fang Guangchen also frowned when he heard this, smoothed the beard on his chin, and then said: "Brother Wang's experience in marching and fighting is better than mine. Since you think it is so good, just do what Brother Wang said!"
Wang Fuchen heard some doubts in Fang Guangchen's tone, and explained with a smile: "This is also for safety reasons. If Brother Fang leads five thousand troops, the Tatars may control Tongguan City by then. The young prince is afraid
