Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 374 Spy
Just when Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's troops retreated and Zheng Hongkui's troops retreated victoriously, a spy from the Qing army ran into the Daming Mansion to report to Dorgon and Fan Wencheng that the spies had successfully entered the Ming army!

Dorgon and Fan Wencheng looked at each other and smiled, today's battle was completely planned by Fan Wencheng.If you want to follow Dorgon, you have already started a field battle with Zhu Yousong with Qingqi pulling the cannon.

Although counting Wu Sangui, the six kings lost all their money, Dorgon still couldn't believe that the Ming army could be the opponent of the Eight Banners Army, except that Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry had a fight with the Eighth Cavalry Army, what Mongolia is left? The Chinese, Korean, and Han armies all have to bow down in field battles. This has been proven truth through countless battles.

Dorgon also dismissed Zhu Yousong's two trump cards.Of course he has heard of the prestige of the white soldiers.But Zhu Yousong's loyalty camp is said to have only 3000 troops, and the commander is said to be a teenage girl.And Zhu Yousong's imperial camp had no more than 5000 people.

The combination of the two ace divisions is less than 1 people. This time Dorgon brought [-] Manchurian Eight Banners light cavalry, plus Zu Dashou's [-] elites. Defeat Zhu Yousong's two trump cards.

In Dorgon's view, Zhu Yousong's men and horses were able to win the battle mainly by gunfire and tricks, while the failure of the five or six kings was entirely due to pride and underestimation of the enemy, and mistaken tricks.

Dorgon came this time to personally charge into battle and kill his enemies, avenging his elder brother and his two relatives.

However, Fan Wencheng believes that the main thing in war is strategy. Although he does not believe that the Ming army can defeat the Tartars, it is not advisable to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top.Strategizing, decisively winning thousands of miles, using wisdom without exerting force is his highest pursuit.

This point is due to the great talent of his ancestor Fan Zhongyan. Don't forget that he is the seventeenth generation grandson of Fan Zhongyan, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. It's just that he doesn't have the honor of his ancestors, but only notoriety and infamy.

Dorgon adopted his suggestion, and it happened that Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui asked for orders to fight at this time. The reason why these two were eager to start a war with the Ming army was not to win credit, but to use this method to prove that they were worthy of Da Shou. Qing Zhong is loyal, cleanses himself, and saves his whole family.

So Fan Wencheng designed two sets of battle plans for him. He knew that Zhu Yousong liked to go to battle in person. If Zhu Yousong went out to face the enemy again this time, let Zu Dashou and the others follow the first set of plans, only winning but not losing. , to kill the enemy with all his strength to prove his innocence, and he did not make any connections with Zhu Yousong secretly.

If Zhu Yousong's shadow is not seen before the battle, they will proceed according to the second set of plans, don't do unnecessary fighting, get emotional with the old department and then feign defeat, and he will make his own arrangements for the rest.

Now that Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui were defeated and returned, the second generals came to the city to give orders to Fan Wencheng and Dorgon.

"Okay, well done." Fan Wencheng clapped his hands and praised, and even suggested that Dorgon should credit the two of them.

Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou felt a little awkward, the defeated general was praised and had to record his merits, although it was a fraudulent defeat, but even the two of them didn't know where the fraud was.

If it was to lure the enemy to go deep, they did not ambush at all, and the Ming army was not fooled, and there was no result except failure.

But this is not the most important thing to them. The two of them are concerned about their situation and future, that is, how to cleanse themselves. Dorgon no longer doubts that they have second thoughts about the Qing Dynasty. A family, young and old, able to be free and safe.

Fan Wencheng saw it, and smiled slyly, "My lords have worked hard, and you can be reinstated as officials. In fact, the prince never doubted you at all." He said and gave Dorgon a wink.

Dorgon was also cunning enough, so he quickly took over the words, "Mr. Fan is right, the two of you are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, how can this king not know? The false emperor's little plan of divorce cannot be hidden from this king, so I just let the two Your Excellency has suffered some grievances, and you have no choice but to make arrangements. From now on, the two of you will be reinstated."

In a word, Zu Dashou is still the commander-in-chief, and Wu Sangui is still his Pingxi King.

Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui couldn't help being overjoyed, and they couldn't believe it. Originally, they took the initiative to fight this time to prove their innocence and kill more soldiers of the Ming army, but now they were defeated. Although they were defeated by orders, they didn't mention it A few heads of Ming soldiers.

But just like this, the official was reinstated?Is this the end of Zhu Yousong's two letters?
What, they didn't suspect it at all?

Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui were not fools either, because Zhu Yousong's two letters and Wu Sangui's three generals came back alive from the Ming army camp.

Wu Sangui's nephew Wu Yingguang was punished on the spot, Wu Sangui was imprisoned in the capital and put into death row, Zu Dashou was transferred to the capital, and the military power was over, the whole family was tied up and their heads were to be beheaded. acting?
Only a fool would believe it!

The Tartars will use any means to achieve their goals. The war is imminent. When they are employing people, they know that it is because of their own stupidity that they have fallen into Zhu Yousong's tricks. .

Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui understood at that time, but they still thanked Dorgon and Fan Wencheng with tears of gratitude.

When they learned that when the two armies were in a melee, they had already sent spies to infiltrate the Ming army, they were somewhat disdainful of Fan Wencheng's mysterious strategy.

Because they knew that Tong Yangjia, the former self-proclaimed bloodbathed the Shaolin Temple and pretended to be a monk, and more than 100 masters mixed into Luoyang City, and there were more than 5000 elite Tatars led by Gushan Ezhen'ashan and Zhuo Luo into the city to feign surrender. Well, isn't it all lost?
Now that another spy is sent to infiltrate the Ming army, how much hope can there be?The two expressed their concerns with an attitude of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng looked at the regent Dorgon, and said with a calm smile: "This person is Fan's confidant, absolutely reliable, please rest assured, there will be results soon."

Sure enough, at night Dorgon and Fan Wencheng called Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui to the city to discuss matters.Prince Su Haoge, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Sony, Tulai and other important officials and generals in the court were all there.

Dorgon glanced at everyone enthusiastically, and took out a military map, "The news just came from the Ming camp that the false emperor Zhu Yousong will come here tomorrow to inspect the terrain. This king will avenge the five kings and other 20 soldiers." Here's your chance!"

All the princes and ministers were eager to hear this, their blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they wished to fight Zhu Yousong's ambush now and cut him off the horse!
Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui were astonished.
