"Brother Park, tell me, how long has it been since we didn't have a cup of tea as quietly as now?" Liu Ruyi stood up, poured a cup of hot tea for Pu Sheng herself, and said with a smile!
Pu Sheng was startled and quickly took the tea cup with both hands respectfully. He thought for a moment and then said: "General, I remember that the last time we had tea was when you got married! That time, General Wang and Commander Hu all drank.
After all, only you, me, and Han Yi are awake! The three of us drank herbal tea in your garden for half the night!"
After Pu Sheng finished speaking, he also laughed, and the tension in his body relaxed a lot.
Liu Ruyi smiled and nodded, "Yes! I remember that time, Brother Hanyi also drank too much. I said I wanted to go to bed, but he wouldn't let me. He insisted on dragging the two of us and drinking with him for half the night.
Herbal tea! Brother Hanyi is unreasonable about this matter! We must let him handle it properly in the future!"
"The general is so wise, I can't believe that you still remember these little things!" Pu Sheng complimented with a smile.
Liu Ruyi picked up the tea and took a sip, but then let out a long sigh, "What a pity! In this world, in order to survive, we old brothers all go our separate ways. If we want to get together to drink tea again, I'm afraid
It’s not that easy anymore!”
Pu Sheng also nodded, "Yes! Hanyi is in Anton Wei now, but we are far away in Liaodong. The next time we meet, it will be at least a few months!"
Liu Ruyi picked up the tea cup, clinked it with Pu Sheng, and took a sip. "Brother Pu, you and I, brothers, I don't want to be polite to you about many things! I will say it clearly for some things!"
Pu Sheng was startled and knelt down on the ground, "General, what I am today depends on your support and care. Otherwise, I would have died on the battlefield in the Central Plains! I can be friends with the general and I can serve him."
, even if he died, Pu Sheng would have no regrets!"
Liu Ruyi shook her head and reached out to help Pu Sheng up, "Brother Pu, I know your character better than anyone else! I believe you! Because you are my brother!"
"General..." Pu Sheng choked up, trembling and speechless!
Liu Ruyi patted Pu Sheng's shoulder heavily, "Brother Pu, you must have understood the world now! I only have one sentence, the Rufeng Mountain position must be firmly grasped! This is fundamental! As for the
Over at the main camp, I will greet Governor Hong tonight! However, there is one thing that I must repeat!"
"General, tell me!" Pu Sheng lowered his head respectfully.
Liu Ruyi nodded, "The most critical reason why our Colored Stone Army is invincible is because we have no deep entanglement with the imperial court and are in a system of our own! You have only one mission, then
Even if we defend the Rufeng Mountain position for as little as one month or as long as two months, this will not be shaken even if the earth collapses! As for~, the main camp has nothing to do with us!"
Cold sweat broke out on Pu Sheng's forehead. He finally understood what Liu Ruyi meant and kowtowed a few times, "General, I can save my humble position! If Rufeng Mountain is here, my humble position will be there! If Rufeng Mountain is destroyed, my humble position will be gone."
Don’t dare to live alone in this world!”
Liu Ruyi's expression eased slightly, and she helped Pu Sheng up and said, "Brother Pu, it's good that you have an idea! This time, the main target of the Qing army is the main camp! As for Rufeng Mountain, as long as you don't act rashly, you should not
There will be big mistakes! However, if you are prepared, you will be successful, and if you are not prepared, you will be ruined! You need to be more cautious about the defenses of Rufeng Mountain, and be careful..."
………………
Pu Sheng left, Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief!
Although Pu Sheng is loyal, it is under certain conditions, such as not betraying the imperial court!
But this time, Liu Ruyi never thought of caring about Hong Chengchou's life and death. Therefore, Liu Ruyi must know Pu Sheng's thoughts and understand the bottom line in his heart!
Fortunately, Pu Sheng did not disappoint Liu Ruyi, otherwise, he would never be able to get out of this big tent!
~~~~~
The most important thing about this raid on Shenyang City, ‘Shengjing’, is that ‘gods don’t know it and ghosts don’t know it!’
Therefore, the Rufeng Mountain position must not be abandoned. Instead, a defensive offensive must be built on a larger scale to create the illusion of "defending"!
As a result, Huang Taiji and Dorgon will definitely be wary of Liu Ruyi who is 'in Rufeng Mountain'. Even when they besiege the main camp, they will still have some scruples!
However, Liu Ruyi didn't have any confidence in how long Hong Chengchou could persist!
But now that the matter has come to this, it’s like an arrow is on the string and has to be fired!
After all, sticking to your guns will only lead to death!
But seeking change, there is still a glimmer of hope!
As for such a highly difficult and dangerous 'delicate job', the reason why Liu Ruyi roped in Wang Pu was after careful consideration!
After all, the Caishi Army has too many infantrymen, and only one out of ten soldiers knows how to ride!
In the vast land of Liaodong, if you don't know how to ride a horse, it means you can't walk. Even if the entire Caishi Army is equipped with AK47, they will probably be killed by the Qing cavalry!
Although Wang Pu's Datong Army is not very powerful, he has two thousand elite cavalry under his command!
These cavalrymen all have more than ten years of equestrian experience, and Datong is adjacent to Mongolia and Liaodong. Many of them have a good understanding of the climate, terrain, and ethnic groups in this area, and they are used to serve as ' 'Carter' and 'Guide' couldn't be more appropriate!
After the encirclement and suppression of Azigh, although Liu Ruyi did not gain much, he captured a lot of fine war horses from the Qing army!
As a result, the hardware and software conditions have matured, and Liu Ruyi has the ability to attack Shengjing City from a long distance!
At this time, Wang Pu and Huo Lang walked in from the side tent at the same time. Wang Pu whispered: "Brother Liu, I have arranged everything! We have 4,500 people and 8,000 horses, traveling day and night. If If you're lucky, you can reach Shenyang City in three nights!"
Huo Lang also said: "Brother, apart from killing the meat-eating horses, there are probably more than 6,300 of them, leaving 300 for Pu Sheng. These 6,000, plus General Wang's original two More than a thousand horses are enough for us! I have just discussed with General Wang that if we go west, not far away, we will reach the Mongolian grassland! By then, as long as we can encounter one or two small Mongolian tribes , then we don’t have to worry about our food, grass and war horses!”
Liu Ruyi nodded and launched a long-distance attack. The strength of the troops was not large, but the quality was important!
This time, Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army is preparing to dispatch 2,500 people, including 500 from Xiao Liuer's personal guards, 1,000 from Huolang's elite gunmen, and 800 from Chunwa's elite spearmen. , plus Liu Ruyi’s own bodyguards of 200 people!
On Wang Pu's side, there are two thousand of his most elite cavalry, all dispatched!
"Brother Wang, do you have any specific information about the Mongolian tribes beyond the Great Wall?" Liu Ruyi asked Wang Pu.
Datong has been the throat of the North since ancient times. As the commander-in-chief of Datong, Wang Pu should have some methods he can use!
Wang Pu hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, the Mongolians outside the Great Wall are very mobile, and no one can tell the exact location! However, it is autumn now, and it is the herdsmen on the grasslands who are storing fodder to prepare their cattle and horses for the winter.
At that time! This time the Qing army launched a large-scale expedition to Jinzhou, and almost all the Mongolian tribes that relied on the Manchu Qing went to fight! There should be almost no men on the grasslands now!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, "Brother Wang, do you have any brothers under your command who are familiar with the terrain?"
"Huh?" Wang Pu was startled and said hurriedly: "Brother Liu, I don't know which area you are talking about? If it is Mongolia, my Datong Wang family has business contacts with several neighboring Mongolia.
, I am familiar with this area! However, if we go west from the Mongolian tribes and reach the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then I am not sure what to say!"
"Haha! It doesn't matter!" Liu Ruyi smiled softly, "In that case, Brother Wang, Huo Lang, you two, please make preparations quickly according to our original plan! Remember, keep your movements small, even for those who are not going to the expedition.
Brothers, we must not reveal even a single bit of our whereabouts this time! Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Wang Pu and Huo Lang bowed their hands and were about to exit the door!
"Oh! By the way, Brother Wang, wait a moment!" Liu Ruyi waved her hand to let Huo Lang go first, but left Wang Pu behind.
"Brother Wang, I almost forgot. I need to trouble you to call some brothers who are familiar with the terrain of Mongolia to come to my big tent. I have some things that I must personally proofread with them!"
Wang Pu thought it was some big deal, but when he heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Liu, don't worry, stay here for a while, I'll inform those bastards below to get down to business, and I'll bring them to you right away!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Wang Pu on the shoulder, "Thank you so much, Brother Wang!"
~~~~~
With Wang Pu and Huo Lang taking charge, the Caishi Army and the Datong Army quickly got into action!
However, Liu Ruyi was very confused about the news of the expedition to Shengjing!
In the entire camp, except for Liu Ruyi, Wang Pu, Huo Lang, and the Nine-Life Old Cat who was probing for information, no one knew about it!
Even Liu Ruyi's closest confidants, Xiao Liu'er and Chun Wa, only knew that they were going to follow the general to do a big thing this time, but they didn't know what it was!
~~~~~~
All deployments are proceeding in an orderly manner!
Due to the confidentiality of the news, the soldiers of the various armies did not pay attention. The Caishi Army mobilized much more frequently than other armies, and the soldiers had long been accustomed to it!
In Liu Ruyi's tent, not long after, Wang Pu brought his two nephews in front of Liu Ruyi!
These two people are Wang Pu's close relatives. They used to be engaged in the escort and protection of the caravan in the Wang family's business. In this expedition, they went out as the heads of Wang Pu's personal guards, with the title of "Hundred Households"!
This is actually a common method used by all military generals!
After all, the servants are the cronies among the cronies, and are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the general. These people, even if they are as stupid as Marco, must be firmly in their hands!
It is naturally best to use close relatives to control it!
The two of them came in, and Wang Pu withdrew!
Because Wang Pu knew that although he and Liu Ruyi were very close, he still couldn't see through Liu Ruyi's heart on many strategic matters!
These things are secrets among secrets. Since Wang Pu has chosen to follow Liu Ruyi, he must also obey the rules of the game!
Because he only knows one thing, that his brother Liu will not harm him. With this one thing, that is enough!
Liu Ruyi talked with the two of them for half the night, but no one knew what they were talking about. Wang Pu's two nephews also kept secrets after they came out, and did not dare to say a word!
The more mysterious it is, the more reassured Wang Pu is. Brother Liu is doing things flawlessly, and the chance of success this time will be much higher!
Wang Pu is also becoming more and more attentive to various preparations!
However, it was just getting dark when a few fast horses appeared from the direction of the main camp of the Ming army, leading a hundred households. They were covered in blood, and several arrows on their bodies had been deeply embedded in their flesh. "General Liu, hurry up, I want to see General Liu."
