Aspiration

Chapter 139
The task of recruiting Tang Tong's general army fell on Li Laiheng.Moreover, he wanted to complete the task before the order of King Chongzhenqin arrived, and before the Manchus appeased them.

He asked Lao Jiu, is it feasible to recruit Tang Tong?

Lao Jiu said: "It's feasible. However, we have to lead some soldiers and horses to cross General Li Guo's forward and reach Juyongguan first. After we get there, we will find a way."

Li Laiheng asked again: "What's the news from Shenyang?"

Lao Jiu said: "Shenyang is eyeing it like a tiger. A few days ago, the Manchu court was still discussing about going south, but now there is no discussion. This is a bit strange."

Li Laiheng pondered for a long time.

Lao Jiu has a habit, except for his own analysis, he rarely interrupts other people's analysis.So, both of them were silent.

After a while, Li Laiheng said: "The situation is not good. The Manchus have already estimated that our troops are insufficient. They will choose Shanhaiguan to enter the customs after we fight with the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They estimate that we only have about [-] troops to reach Beijing, so , let us kill Chongzhen, they will do the work of Wu Sangui and others, and they will be sent out in the name of revenge for the Ming emperor."

"Will it be? Will Wu Sangui be there?" Lao Jiu didn't know the future, so of course he would ask.

Li Laiheng said, yes, Wu Sangui will.

Li Laiheng thought that in history Wu Sangui cooperated with the Manchus to defeat Li Zicheng.This time, slightly different from history, Li Laiheng has a [-] elite corps, which is unprecedented in history.Also, he suggested that Hao Yaoqi led [-] soldiers and horses and had already arrived in Beijing soon.Neither of these two forces existed in history.Therefore, the history of Li Zicheng's [-] against Wu Sangui's [-] in Shanhaiguan should not be repeated.But no one can predict whether the history of the Manchurian soldiers entering the customs from Shanhaiguan will change. If it will not change, then what will change may be the investment of his Li Laiheng Corps, and the battle situation will change accordingly.

Being able to quickly surpass Li Guo's striker and suddenly appear in Juyongguan within a day is only possible with Li Laiheng's [-] elites.Five hundred miles, a war horse can run to death.Running five hundred miles a day is already the limit, and the so-called Maxima is just a beautiful legend.

Li Laiheng's corps suddenly accelerated.

Li Guo's vanguard looked at the rolling black corps, envious in his heart.Li Guo's generals have always been known as the elite troops of Li Zicheng's troops. They saw Li Laiheng's army today, and they knew what kind of soldiers are called elite soldiers.Especially a cavalry of less than a thousand people, all of which are all Western Region war horses, tall and majestic, with a particularly beautiful running posture and extremely fast speed.They interspersed among the cavalry in front without any sense of blockage, just like flowing clouds and flowing water, without affecting the team in front at all.

Eight hundred riders broke away from Li Laiheng's army, their speed was faster than the fast advancing army, and soon they disappeared without a trace.

It was early morning when Li Laiheng's [-] elite entered Changping territory, and they rested on the spot.Except for dozens of people who were in charge of guarding, everyone else closed their eyes and rested their minds. Tomorrow, they will show their majestic appearance in front of Juyongguan. Perhaps, they may also meet the Ming army who came out of the pass.

Li Laiheng also warned them that now they are outside the pass, Manchurian cavalry may appear at any time, and fighting with the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers will be desperate. This group of people is very difficult to entangle, because they have a rule that if the boss dies, the subordinates will also die. death, so there is a saying that Manchurians fight like hornets.

It was quiet in the field, although it was already the beginning of spring, it was still very cold. They didn't light a fire, so they simply slept for a while.

As Juyongguan closed, the guard Tang Tong's mood was also very complicated.He once participated in the Songjin War with Hong Chengchou, and the famous court officials in his mind have now begun to serve in the Qing Dynasty.Beijing is also already turbulent. It is said that Li Zicheng will attack Beijing soon, and there are only less than [-] guards in Beijing.Tang Tong was guarding Juyongguan. He knew that the imperial court could not protect itself. If the Qing soldiers came to attack at this time, what would he do?Although Juyongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, military pay, food and grass are all problems. If you persist for a while, you will collapse if you persist for too long.He also got angry with Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui said nicely, saying that for the sake of Daming, he would be willing to be smashed to pieces, but in fact, he received the order of King Qin half a month ago, and now he is still in Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan In the meantime, he said that the hundreds of thousands of Ming people were born as Daming people and died as Daming ghosts. He had to be worthy of the people and slowly lead the people to move to the pass.Of course Tang Tong knew that Wu Sangui was avoiding the battle.Wu Sangui, together with the soldiers and horses in the pass, had a total of [-] soldiers and [-] King Qin, who were probably eaten by Li Zicheng.

Those who lead the army know that their resources are soldiers. With soldiers, everything is possible. Without soldiers, no matter how much military exploits they have achieved in the past, they are just things on paper.

What should Tang Tong do?

If you stick to Juyongguan, for whom?

Now only Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu can become the teachers of King Qin of Beijing.Wu Sangui moved slowly through Shanhaiguan Pass. Calculated at this speed, the time Wu Sangui arrived in Beijing would not arrive until Chongzhen's beard was gray.Zuo Liangyu was blocked south of the Huaihe River by Li Zicheng's marquis Liu Fangliang. It is said that one of his adopted daughters fell into Li Zicheng's hands, so he did not go northward desperately, using the excuse that the Huaihe River was naturally dangerous and difficult to cross.

Beijing is unreliable, and the Manchus are coming to attack, what should he do?Tang Tong was very troubled.

Sleepless Tang Tong wakes up his seventh concubine, strokes her boobs for a while, wakes her up and gets her high, then lets her on him toss.This concubine is clever and clever, and he is the only favorite among Tang Tong's many wives and concubines, because he can make Tang Tong happy.Tonight, when he saw Tang Tong waking her up in the middle of the night, he just wanted to be ecstasy.This concubine is very good at making men ecstasy. Her figure and her delicate appearance have already made men ecstasy. What's more, she has a good skill, which made Tang Tong exhausted. fall asleep.

"General, it's not good. A troop has appeared outside the pass." Tang Tong's soldiers shouted.

Tang Tong opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn.

"Are the Qing soldiers here to break through?" Tang Tong asked in surprise.

"I don't know. A black flag unit. There are no black flags in the Eight Banners."

"Black Flag" Tang Tong was shocked.

He knew, or he had heard of, that there was a young general in Li Zicheng's army, who would kill the enemy's main general when he went out into battle, and his combat power was unparalleled.If he met him, it would be tantamount to meeting the god of death. Tang Tong had to figure out whether it was him, and if it was him, how did he get outside the Great Wall?

Tang Tong led his men to close the wall immediately.Sure enough, far away, there was an elite cavalry, all of them were tall horses.

Suddenly, a young man riding a white horse galloped up and stopped 250 steps away.At this distance, even the most powerful crossbow could not hit it. Even with the only closed Hongyi cannon, it would not be able to hit it without a test shot.

Tang Tong wanted to hear what this young general on a white horse said, but it was too far away to hear him, and besides, the young man didn't speak.

Suddenly, the white horse of the young general came galloping, so fast that he was within a hundred paces in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

Tang Tong saw the young man open his hand, followed by the sharp sound of air tearing, and he knew that the arrow was shot at him. He hid, but it was too late, and the arrow was firmly inserted on the top of his helmet , with a letter on it.

Tang Tong, still in shock, knew that this life was left to him by the White Horse General.He opened the letter tremblingly, and there were only a few words on it: "Visit tonight!"

The shocked Tang Tong stared at the letter blankly, visiting tonight?Can he come in and visit?
Tang Tong was a little confused.Who is this young general?Why is he visiting tonight?
Li Laiheng returned to the team after shooting the arrow.He knew that tonight, Tang Tong had to agree to his conditions.Li Zicheng offered him a very high price, let him continue to be the chief military officer, and gave him a marquis.Very tempting reward.

The old nine came in and said to Li Laiheng, "There is news from Shenyang that Dorgon has secretly prepared to activate the army, and two-thirds of each of the eight banners are ready to enter the customs, but the time to enter the customs has not yet come. It has not been officially confirmed, or it is their top secret and cannot be heard."

"Well. After all, there will be a war. Tonight, I will enter the customs, you can go with me." Li Laiheng said.

"Okay. There is another news. The Qing soldiers dispatched a few Jiala, and they disappeared after going south. I guess they are scouting the location of the entry, or they raided a certain section of the Great Wall to enter the pass first." Lao Jiu said .

Li Laiheng attached great importance to this situation, thought for a long time, and said: "You are right, they may be the advance team entering the customs at any time, sneak attack, or attack by force. Maybe, at some point, there will be such a team in Juyongguan. Appear."

Step up your guard.Travel farther away.

Li Laiheng assigned tasks to his subordinates.

Tonight, he is going to sneak into the pass to have an interview with Tang Tong.The reason for adopting this form is firstly that he must grasp this pass as soon as possible, and secondly that he needs to be intimidated in front of Tang Tong. In the future, he will also recover Wu Sangui. If he does not find another way, it will be difficult to succeed.

Therefore, he was about to break into Tang Tong's camp.A special soldier has completed many difficult tasks, and it is not too difficult to enter Juyongguan, so he chose this way to enter.
