Chapter 238 Fighting Kangxi ([-])
In Kongcheng, the sky was full of flags sweeping across the land. Countless Qing troops lined up neatly and headed all the way to Luting Station. Most of them carried shotguns from the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion on their backs, and wore yellow or white clothes. Cotton armor, at first glance, is the elite of the Eight Banners.

It was very rare for Kangxi not to stay in the chariot, but to wear a full body armor, ride a tall horse, and move forward slowly surrounded by the guard barracks, but his face was slightly pale, even showing an abnormal blue color.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners Guard Battalion on the side surrounded the emperor with the most enthusiasm. Although there was respect for the emperor in their eyes, they couldn't suppress the confusion. They had gone too far. Far.

From the capital all the way south, passed through Shandong, passed through Henan, and stayed in front of the three passes of Yiyang for more than three months. Now they have come to Luzhou, Tongcheng, and Kongcheng. The heart of war has been ground to stone.

Most of the ministers of the Qing court also wore armor. Most of the generals rode horses and walked in front, while the civil servants followed behind. There were also some civil servants who could not ride horses, and they were basically left in Kongcheng. .

Although Zhang Tingyu was also a civil servant, he did not stay in Kongcheng, but followed Kangxi on horseback all the way, without much embarrassment on his face.After all, he was also from the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and he also learned how to ride a horse since he was a child. However, he always felt a little uneasy about this battle, as if he felt that this battle might not be so simple.

Tong Fahai, the new minister of the Ministry of War, also rode a horse and walked side by side with Zhang Tingyu. Everyone knew that the two had something to talk about, so they took the initiative to leave the conversation between the two, but many people were curious. What did the Minister of the Ministry of War talk to a Zuo Shilang from the Ministry of Officials?
Zhang Tingyu was also a little curious, but his temperament has always been to strike late, so facing the current Kangxi celebrity, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't think too much about currying favor with the other party.

Tong Fahai didn't take it seriously either. If it had been two months ago, he should have looked up at the person in front of him. Now that he has risen, Tong Fahai didn't get carried away, but just smiled lightly: "Brother Hengchen, we haven't seen each other for many years, but we It's rusty."

From this sentence, Tong Fahai is quite difficult, because he is only one year older than Zhang Tingyu, and both of them belong to very early-onset young talents. Shu Jishi, walked in the South Study Room, it can be said that the resumes of the two of them in the early years were like glittering gold.

Of course, in the 47th year of Kangxi, because of the case of abolishing the prince, Fahai was implicated by the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, and was involved in it, so that he was left idle for a full eight years until the 54th year of Kangxi It was not until the 55th year of Kangxi that he became a governor of Guangzhou.At this time, Zhang Tingyu was already a cabinet bachelor and minister of rites.

The past is unbearable, this sentence naturally touched Tong Fahai deeply, but Zhang Tingyu is not very used to this kind of intimacy, he is low-key and cautious, at this critical moment, it is not a good thing to get in touch with Tong Fahai too much Said: "Brother Tao An, you and I have been separated for many years, but it has been vicissitudes."

Tong Fahai said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have been studying behind closed doors at home, but I have reflected and reflected on what I have learned in this life. Only now can I realize Brother Hengchen's way of being a human being, which can be called a sea of ​​water."

There was no expression on Zhang Tingyu's face, he just cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Brother Tao An is really absurd, I can't bear it no matter what."

Tong Fahai didn't seem to want to continue the discussion, he just smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Tingyu and said, "As long as Hengchen can stick to his own path, he will surely be able to achieve a great career in the future."

As soon as the words fell, Tong Fahai clamped his legs lightly on the horse's belly and rushed to the front, but Zhang Tingyu began to fall into deep thought. These words were definitely not just the original intention, the mystery seemed to be
By the way, Zhang Tingyu thought of what Tian Wenjing said to him a month ago, and his heart suddenly became agitated. The two people seemed to say completely different things, but in fact they meant the same thing, still in the future. On the road to succession, let Zhang Tingyu stand on the shore and watch coldly.

That is to say, Tong Fahai belongs to the thirteenth brother, and the thirteenth brother also supports Prince Yong. In addition, Nian Gengyao was promoted to the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War. It can be said that the biggest profit this time is still Prince Yong. The entire Ministry of War is in the hands.

Emperor Kangxi rode on his horse and looked around. He hadn't had a good look at his country for a long time. Now that the battle was imminent, his heart was full of enthusiasm.

Tong Fahai rode behind Kangxi on horseback, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "My Majesty, the servant has sent someone to send a secret letter to King Pingjun, agreeing to send troops to Chu Ni in Tongcheng, and immediately launch an attack to cut off the Fu Han The army's retreat."

"Unfortunately, Naersu's whereabouts were discovered by Chu Ni early on. Otherwise, if the troops were sent out in secret, the chances of winning this battle would be increased by at least [-]%." Kangxi's face was slightly gloomy when he thought of this.

Tong Fahai said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Chu Ni that ambushed Puzhao is already in my army's pocket and can't escape. When my army of 5000 people arrives in time, it will be completely wiped out." This department is against Chu."

"If Chu Ni in Tongcheng goes out to rescue him, our army will confront him head-on. When Prince Ping's Xiaoqi Battalion army goes straight into Chu Ni's back, under the attack from both sides, Chu Ni will have no chance."

Kangxi was slightly silent, and he asked: "What if Chu Ni cuts off his tail to survive?"

Tong Fahai sighed slightly. He naturally understood that Kangxi still had a lot of resentment in his heart, but the current situation could no longer allow the Qing army to think about it any more, so he had to cautiously say: "If the Fuhan army does not go out of the city to rescue them, then King Pingjun will be there Huangjiapu stood still and was ready to respond at any time. After our army wiped out the Chu rebels, they turned to Beijiao Pass to open a passage for our army. Army, if you think about it, you can easily get rid of the pursuit of the Fuhan army."

The banner whirred, covering the incoming sunlight, and a part of the shadow shrouded Kangxi's face, making it impossible to see through his expression, but he let out a soft sigh, how sad and helpless it was, maybe Only Kangxi himself can understand.

Back then, it only took a year from the ambitious selection of troops to the south to the hastily fleeing north with a large army.

Kangxi looked at Kongcheng, just like the places he had abandoned before, with loss and sadness on his face.

"I, maybe there is no chance to come back."
