I heard that the Qing army had besieged Datong, and I was stunned. The crisis in Taiyuan was not far away.
Chen Yongfu sat at the desk with a scroll in his hand, trying to calm down through the sages' words, but all he could think about was the war in Shanxi.
When he was upset, a servant outside the door asked softly: "Master, there is an outsider asking to see you."
"No." This Han, Li Zhiliu just didn't think about danger, but the drunken fans even dragged him around all day long, and sent people to his home to invite him for several days in a row. Chen Yongfu was very annoyed by this.
"It is a disgrace to our generation to associate with such a young boy!" After saying this, he snorted coldly and put the book down heavily, losing all interest.
Seeing the figure outside the door, Chen Yongfu shouted and asked: "Why are you still here?" The servant who was standing at the door of the room trembled when he heard the sound and said: "Then... that person wants the young man to take care of me. Words."
"explain."
With the master's permission, the servant swallowed the saliva that had been holding in his mouth for a long time and conveyed it word for word: "He said that the White King of the Sun and Moon is an alliance under the city."
After saying that, there was no movement in the room. The servant put his ear against the door and listened carefully. You have to get things done after receiving benefits from others, right?
After a while, Chen Yongfu's voice came out: "Bring him to the study to meet me."
When the servant heard this, he rushed to the gate in a hurry. In front of the outsiders who asked to see him, he sighed and said, "Our master said that we won't see any guests today. Please come back."
The man was dressed in coarse cloth but wore a bamboo hat and veil, hiding his true face in Lushan. After hearing such a reply, without saying much, he took out five taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand.
"Master is in a bad mood, so you have to be careful what you say." After accepting the second payment of money, the servant smiled happily and turned to lead the way, not forgetting his instructions on the way.
"It should."
...........
When the door opened, you could smell the smell of soup and medicine. Yang Lianbing walked out with a wooden box with tears on his face. He gave a small salute to everyone outside the door, turned around and walked to the kitchen. Then he carried the medicine box and was sweating profusely. Li Xuan, Wang Chengen gently closed the door and said to the people waiting anxiously outside the house: "Long live the Lord to sleep, everyone, please go back."
Hearing that His Majesty was ill, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit. After Wang Chengen finished speaking, Sun Xuanhuai took Li Xuan's hand and asked: "Doctor Li, what disease does Your Majesty suffer from?"
"Alas, the emperor fell ill from overwork and was infected with wind evil. He needs to take medicine on time and rest for half a month before he can recover."
"That's good, that's good." Everyone felt a little relieved when they heard that the emperor was fine. But in the current situation, if the backbone fell, what should be done next? The Qing soldiers were still watching eagerly outside the city.
Song Xiance wanted to step forward to talk to Wang Chengen, but Sun Xuanhuai beat him to it. Sun Xuanhuai also didn't rest for several days, and his energy seemed a little weak. He steeled himself and said: "Eunuch Wang, what's next..."
"We don't know either, alas." Wang Chengen turned back and looked at the door, with a sad look on his face.
"Eunuch Wang, did you hear the sound?" Song Xiance asked, tilting his ears. Wang Chengen immediately stopped and listened carefully, but there was a sound coming from the room, and he hurriedly returned to the house. After a while, Wang Chengen leaned out of the door. He turned half of his body and waved to Sun Xuanhuai, and Sun immediately understood.
Chongzhen was lying on the couch with beads of sweat on his forehead. Yang Lianbing had just boiled ginger soup and brought it to him to feed him. After a bowl of ginger soup, he was sweating all over, and he briefly woke up.
Wang Chengen wiped Chongzhen's body with a hot towel at the bedside, while Sun Xuanhuai stood aside with his body hunched over.
"Xingsheng."
"I'm here."
"I'm letting you guys watch the joke..." Chongzhen was still thinking of making a joke about his illness, but he felt dizzy and sick again, so he immediately changed his mind and told the story to be more serious.
"Wang Jinchao still needs to be in charge outside the city. Let's call Uncle Yang back first and try to guard for another two days." Chongzhen spoke intermittently, thinking for a long time between each sentence. Sun Xuanhuai listened quietly.
"I have two groups of surprise troops, one is going around and attacking, the other is killing the tiger's mouth."
Chongzhen's voice became weaker and weaker, "Two days...we must keep it for two more days..." After saying this, Chongzhen could no longer support himself and fell asleep again.
Wang Chengen stopped what he was doing and nodded to Sun Xuanhuai, who quietly retreated.
.......
After ten consecutive days of fierce attack, Dagubian, who was guarding the south without making any achievements, became unhappy and led his troops back to the camp to seek explanation from Hedu.
"Master Beile, where is my Dagubian better than Mengcai?" Dagubian was very dissatisfied with Hedu's arrangement. He brought out all the men in the banner and ate all the food he brought with him. As a result, he didn't fight a single battle.
, what will you do in the future if you are so stubborn?
As time went by, Hedu also felt that he was worrying too much. Dashun and Daming were mortal enemies, so there was no way to support each other. He was also a little embarrassed about Dagubian's dissatisfaction, so he smiled and reassured: "Dagu
Bian, don't be angry, I will allocate more to you when the food arrives."
"My young prince, food comes second. My people are going to attack the city today!"
"Okay, agreed." Hedu admired Dagubian's eagerness to fight. Moreover, he was actually anxious. If he continued to delay, all the credit would go to Amma.
"Leave the entire front to your command. Within one day, I want to see results."
Dagubian was overjoyed and immediately returned to the camp with orders to prepare. Mengchai was incompetent! Even the Ming army fought so hard. If Dagubian was in the north, he would have captured it long ago.
........
Hedu set off in a hurry, and only brought about ten days' worth of rations for the soldiers. Subsequent supplies still needed to be transferred from Xuanfu. All the Qing soldiers in Xuanfu were taken to the Datong front line by Hedu, which caused the shipment to be sent from Xuanfu.
There were no soldiers to escort the grain team, only about ten cavalry accompanying them.
In Hedu's view, the current Ming army in the pass was too weak, so weak that it had no ability to make a surprise attack on its rear.
There was a huge team transporting grain, with the carts carrying grain and grass confiscated from all over the Xuanfu. Mongolian cavalry wandered in front of and behind the team, urging the Nikan slaves to move quickly.
"Look, sir." He Qiu pointed to the black spot in the distance and said.
Jiang Xuan squinted and looked in the direction. Behind him, soldiers kept coming out of the forest. They were only a few miles away from the official road of Tianzhen County at the foot of the mountain.
"It should be the Tatar food team. Send the order and let the brothers rest on the spot."
"yes."
Climbing all the way over mountains and ridges, Jiang Xuan took the remaining 2,200 soldiers and appeared near the official road connecting Xuanda. And by chance, he ran into Hedu's logistics and food team. In this case, how could it be wrong?
Why vote for him?
The grain truck moves slowly, so boldly let it go ahead, wait for your own soldiers to recharge their batteries, and then follow the strategy of waiting for the night attack.
"You two come with me." Jiang Xuan ordered two servants to go with him to investigate. He wanted to find out the strength of the grain team and the location where they would spend the night.
