The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 203: When did this victory become so easy to win?

In the original work, the three of them, Ying Tanxi, each have different attitudes towards their fate. Yingchun is resigned and accepts all the arrangements of fate; Tanchun is fighting hard in a positive way; and Xichun is using a negative way. response.

At this time, Xichun did not grow like a roadside weed in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion without anyone paying attention, and was ravaged by wind, frost, rain and snow, as in the original work, and developed a desire to escape the world. She was just a wonderful jade. .

But Daiyu has already prepared for a rainy day, because her status is different now, she is Xichun's sister-in-law. As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother, and she was influenced by Jia Cong and has no admiration for Buddhism, monks and Taoism, so she will I am worried that Xichun will go astray at a young age. Even if he still has some roots in his heart, if he suffers some grievances in the future, he will have some bad thoughts.

Tanchun saw Xichun feeling guilty, wiped her tears, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and said with a smile, "The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are all for your own good. I think what the second sister-in-law said is very reasonable. I I originally thought that as long as I was a man and could go out, I would leave early and start a career, but the second sister-in-law said what was in my heart."

Xiangyun asked, "Third sister, what kind of career do you want to build?"

Tanchun thought for a while and said, "It's just about literary and military affairs, studying for imperial examinations, or joining the army and doing meritorious service. There is always a way to go, which is better than being locked in the backyard of the boudoir all year round. When I came out today, I knew that this The world is so big!"

Xiangyun chuckled and said, "Why don't you ask Brother Cong if there is any shortage of female generals in her army so that he can teach him how to take you under his command!"

Tanchun knew in his heart that this was all a naughty joke, and everyone laughed it off. Even Xichun burst into tears and laughed, and the sea of ​​flowers rippled slightly with the wind, as if there was a faint fragrance coming towards them.

Jia Cong was ready. Azig would raid at night. He deployed his soldiers and divided them into three layers to surround the Muni courtyard. One layer was inside the courtyard, one layer was a mile away, and another three miles away. On the first floor, the powerful soldiers, like lurking cheetahs, were vigilantly watching the movements of Muni Yuan.

In the middle of the night, the lights gradually went out, and a group of figures appeared one after another on a nearby hill. There were about more than 100 people. Looking closer, they were the Jurchens that Jia Cong had seen during the day. The leader was none other than Jurchen. Azigh.

Samushhalu stood behind Azig and whispered, "Master, the Muni Courtyard has been surrounded by soldiers and generals sent by Jia Cong. Although it is outside the city now, we can count on it." I’m afraid it will be difficult to keep him alive.”

After Azig thought for a moment, he nodded, "We have been exposed. It is impossible to say that he has already followed our whereabouts at this time. I saw that he is not old, but I did not expect that he is a tough guy. However, the more he gets older, In this case, it is even more difficult to keep such people.”

"Master is right. The nobles of Dashun have become rotten fishes. Now that a sea turtle appears, we will definitely not let him grow up and learn to fly. However, how can Master handle such a dangerous matter? It's so personal, leave it to me, master, and I'll take care of it."

"Samushha, I know you are loyal! But didn't you say that Jia Cong won many battles against the Japanese? Look, he just glanced at us before driving far away today. He is so vigilant. Gao, I have been targeted, and even I dare not neglect such a person. Once he is transferred to the Liaodong battlefield, I worry that he will be more difficult to deal with than Xia Jin!"

"He is indeed Xia Jin's apprentice. Master, I think, after we have finished the matter, we should leave as soon as possible. At the moment, Xia Jin is in Liaodong, only defending but not attacking, because Dashun has no offensive, the soldiers are weak, and the food and wages are low. It's not enough. As long as we delay him for a few more days and the master comes to Beijing this time, as long as those eunuchs and nobles say a few words in front of Emperor Dashun, Xia Jin will be passive. At that time, the master is afraid that he will not be able to find him. Get the chance to deal with him."

"You're right! If Mr. Gong hadn't come up with such an idea this time, we really wouldn't have been able to come up with such a good idea." Azig said.

Seeing that the matter was hopeless, he didn't bother too much. Once the matter got serious and Dashun was alerted, his efforts this time would be in vain, and it might even be counterproductive.

The reason why Azig came here was just to get lucky. If he could easily kill Jia Cong, he would not hesitate.

Azig turned around and was about to go down the mountain. At this time, he only heard the sound of a firecracker and someone fell to the ground next to him. Azig did not think much and immediately ordered the troops to disperse. His generals and soldiers A group of ten people were ordered to break out, but they saw silhouettes of people under the moonlight. People from all directions were surrounding them. The sound of firecrackers came and went. Soon, Azige's men and horses suffered heavy losses.

"Come here, everyone, break out!" Azig saw that there were many people on the other side. Obviously, when he regarded Jia Cong as his prey, he also became the prey.

So alert!
Samushha's eyes were red. He didn't know when the other party came around. At a glance, he saw a figure standing on the hillside not far away. The cloak was raised behind him, and the sound of hunting seemed to be coming. echoed in his ears.

Samushha nocked an arrow and shot from a long distance. Just when he was about to release the arrow, he saw the man disappear in a flash. The bow in his hand had been opened, and the arrow could not turn back, and flew out with a whoosh.

At this time, gunshots fell where Samushha was, and a guard fell to the ground.

Samushha knew that under the cover of night, the opponent's movements were also very restricted. He hurriedly supported Azig and said, "Master, they have firecrackers. Let's find a way to break out. Master, take this way." side."

Samushha thought that the person who just climbed up and looked into the distance was Jia Cong. There must be a majority of people around him, and they could not escape to the east and south, but to the west and north to escape, and the direction where the person was standing was It happens to be north, so west is the best choice.

Seeing the other party heading west, Wang Lang followed Jia Cong and smiled, "As expected by the Marquis, they went west."

"The sight at night is not good for us, but good for them. If we want to take down Azig, it will not be easy. We must narrow the encirclement and draw the net. Withdraw [-]% of the people from the Muni Yuan and surround them tightly. No one is allowed. leave."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Azig didn't know where he went wrong.

In the words of a great man of later generations, he made an empiricist error.

While Azig was amazed that Jia Cong had made such great contributions at such a young age, he also believed the lie fabricated by some people, that is, Jia Cong's achievements were all given by Xia Jin.

Xia Jin is the most powerful enemy of the Jurchens at the moment. He guards Fushun City and prevents Nurhachi from advancing even half a step. Last winter, countless Jurchen people froze to death and starved to death. Several tribes under his command were also unable to hold back. Nurhaci urgently needs a big victory to turn things around.

Moreover, rumors have recently arisen among the Jurchen tribe that this year's cold winter will be worse than previous years. With the rumors, people's minds have changed. Nurhachi went to war again. Unable to shake Fushun, he had no choice but to listen to the advice of Han military advisor Gong Zhenglu and sent Azig to sneak into the sacred city. In the story, he bribed the ministers of Dashun Dynasty to achieve internal change.

Xia Jin was loyal to the king. As long as Emperor Taiqi was suspicious of Xia Jin, Xia Jin would not be able to do anything in Fu Bian. Not only would he lose credit for his hard work, but he would also be imprisoned.

It has to be said that since ancient times, the Han people have always used their intelligence and wisdom for deception and suspicion.

Jia Cong's men approached step by step and were divided into four levels. The first level was composed of sign-making soldiers, the second level was fire gunmen, the third level was archers, and the fourth level was those holding Yanling knives and clang palladium. of infantry.The sign-making soldiers and fire gunners cooperated in pairs, and the archers and infantry followed, forming a tight organization and slowly narrowing the encirclement and moving inward.

Azig's heart was burning, and he retreated step by step under the cover of Samushha and his loyal bodyguards. They had no hope of breaking out for the time being. They could only wait for the fourth or fifth watch, when there was almost no light, to make a breakthrough. Or there is hope.

Make a bloody way!

This is what Azig and others have in mind.

Seeing that these people did not fight back, Jia Cong guessed what they were thinking, so he mobilized another 1000% of his troops. In this way, he completed the siege with more than [-] troops.

Although he had many people under his command, he could not mobilize his troops without asking for orders from the Holy Spirit. Once he was heard, the officials in the court scolded him and wanted to kill him.

"Pay attention to the opponent's actions!" Jia Cong saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the nearby torches gradually rose, illuminating the mountain forest. The firelight jumped on the trees and the faces of the soldiers on both sides.

At this time, Azig had already seen Jia Cong's face under the firelight. He did not expect that the other party would light a torch at this time. Only then did he realize that the encirclement had been reduced to less than one mile. His people had gathered on a small hill.

And this hilltop was the place where he had climbed up and looked far ahead.

Azig's eyes were red. He raised the knife in his hand. The firelight reflected bloody light on the snow blade. He shouted in a hissing voice, "Kill!"

There is no hope of breaking out of the siege. At the moment, the best thing for Azig is to exchange his own life for Jia Cong's. Once such a person grows up, life in the Kingdom of Jin will become even more difficult in the future.

Jia Cong saw Azig going crazy and smiled slightly. When he was in Ningxia, he would deliberately leave an opening in the south to prevent the Tatars from risking their lives and hoping to survive. The ground counterattacked, but at this time, it was no longer needed.

He just wants to drive Azig to despair, because although this man is brave, he is also unintelligent and has a bad temper.

Seeing Azig swooping down like a crazy lion, his violent appearance made the soldiers frightened. If Jia Cong hadn't been very strict in managing the army, the soldiers would have dispersed at this time.

The sword in Azig's hand stirred up several people, and the eyes of the Flying Bear Guards showed horror. At this moment, Jia Cong had already pulled off the cloak behind him and threw it to the wind. He was holding a long sword in his body. The armor was still dancing with fire, and he rushed towards Azig without hesitation.

"Get out of the way and let me come!"

A sharp shout resounded in the valley, dispersing the fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Seeing the Marquis personally coming to the battlefield, he was also extremely brave. The soldiers, like a chicken blood, closed the circle again and moved towards Azige's guards. They fought in the past.

"Master!" Samushha saw that he and Azig were separated by the encirclement. He couldn't help but become extremely anxious. Wang Lang's sharp sword fell like rain. Samushha was almost cut off an arm by his carelessness. He had to concentrate on fighting, lest his master die first without being injured.

Jia Cong was free to fight with Azig. The long sword and the heavy knife collided together. Jia Cong only felt a numbness in his wrist and the tearing pain from the tiger's mouth. This made him have to admit the Jurchen's bravery.

Azig, on the other hand, was so shocked that his arms trembled slightly and he could hardly hold the handle of the knife. His tiger eyes like copper bells stared at Jia Cong. Unexpectedly, in addition to his superb swordsmanship, the young man in front of him also had a Unparalleled strength.

Jia Cong sold a flaw. After all, Azig once again made an empiricist error. Seeing the flaw exposed, he didn't think much about it. When he slashed away with his sword, Jia Cong was calculating the formula of distance divided by speed in his mind. , already struck Azig's right shoulder with a knife.

His right arm landed with the heavy knife!
At this time, the fight in the forest seemed to have been paused by God. Everyone looked over involuntarily. Azig's face turned white under the light of the fire. He couldn't believe it. Looking at the severed arm and knife on the ground, he could no longer feel the pain.

That night, except for Azig and Samushha, all the Jurchens were left in this mountain forest.

When Jia Cong picked up his cloak, he couldn't help but think that the peony might bloom even more in the coming year!

The next day, Jia Cong ordered Jia Ping and Jiao Da to escort the ladies and ladies back home, and ordered them to book a table at Linyuan Pavilion, the largest restaurant in the city. The ladies and ladies could wander around the city first. When they were tired from shopping, , just go back after finishing your meal in Linyuan Pavilion.

Jia Cong ordered his men to help Azig stop the bleeding and heal his injuries. Azig could not lose his life. A living Azig was more useful than a dead Azig. He changed into his official robe and rushed in quickly. See you in the palace.

The morning court without Jia Cong made Emperor Taiqi feel that something was missing. After listening to the ministers' daily reports, it was nothing more than disaster relief, rivers, refugees, and Liaodong. Now there was a Fujian Japanese invasion.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Revenue now has money again. Last year's autumn harvest and this year's summer taxes can increase the revenue of the Ministry of Revenue a lot. After all, Emperor Taiqi paid for large expenditures with internal funds, and the Ministry of Revenue can only get in but not out. If you can't save money, Zhao Song will no longer need to be the chief assistant.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Ningguo is here to meet you outside the palace!"

As soon as Wu Ji said this, everyone in the court was surprised. It was time to go to court at this time. Marquis Ning Guo had not come to the morning court. Was it late for him to come at this time?

The Ministry of Rites, Lu Hansheng, thought about this, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I impeach Marquis Ning Guo for being late for the morning meeting and disrupting the order of the court. Please issue an order to punish him!"

Emperor Taiqi ignored Yu Lu Hansheng's words and asked Wu Jidao, "Did Marquis Ning Guo say anything?"

"Returning to the emperor, Marquis Ning Guo said that he won a great battle with the Jurchens outside the city last night. He killed 130 of the enemy and captured two of them. This is a very important matter. Marquis Ning Guo asks to meet you!"

Everyone in the court gasped. The Ningguo Marquis had only been back for a few days. I heard that Ningguo Mansion went to Muni Yuan in the west of the city to offer incense yesterday. How could he get involved with the Jurchens?
When did this battle become so easy to win?
This is a victory that falls from the sky!
