Yunyang Mansion is located in the northernmost part of Huguang, directly bordering Shaanxi.
When Wu Sangui led his troops into Huguang in great turmoil, it was through Yunyang Mansion that he took this route.
It's just that this time I feel completely different when I return to the battlefield.
Now he no longer expects to make a great contribution to shake up the government and the opposition.
He only hopes to capture a few cities in Yunyang and regain some ground.
Now the person guarding Yunyang is Cao Fengnian.
This man was not from the old Shun Army but was a serious officer and soldier.
Du Yingxi, governor of Huguang, sent him to guard Yunyang with the intention of checking and balancing the generals of the Shun army.
After all, Li Guo and Gao Yigong commanded heavy troops to guard Jingmen, and no one could guarantee that they would willingly work for the imperial court.
What if it’s Zhang Xianzhong again?
You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.
Governor Du did this just in case.
Of course, there is no doubt about Cao Fengnian's own strength.
It is impossible to stand out among the generals in the late Ming Dynasty without some real ability.
Cao Fengnian's greatest skill is to suppress bandits.
When the imperial court sent Zuo Liangyu to suppress Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Fengnian was one of the few capable generals in the Zuo army.
Although Zuo Liangyu fell now, most of his subordinates were not affected.
A strong general like Cao Fengnian was naturally highly valued by the court.
Cao Fengnian is not only good at fighting but also training troops.
The soldiers he trained were never timid.
Whether they are new recruits or veterans, they all have the energy to not be afraid of death.
Except for the Shence Army who was personally trained by the emperor today, Cao Fengnian really had no one to fear in terms of combat effectiveness.
But he said that that day he was watching the soldiers drill as usual, and suddenly some soldiers came to report that they saw the Tatar army marching towards Yunyang Prefecture.
Cao Fengnian was shocked.
Of course he knew that this army was commanded by Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui also borrowed a road from Yunyang Mansion to go to Jingzhou.
But he never thought that Wu Sangui would come back.
After all, Yunyang is too poor.
Compared with the wealthy Jingzhou, Yunyang is extremely poor.
It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a world of difference.
Even if Wu Sangui wanted to catch the autumn wind, he wouldn't choose a place like this.
"Have you found out clearly that the Tatars are really coming to the capital to kill and lie about military information?
This is a serious crime."
Cao Fengnian glared so hard that he almost made the soldier pee.
"Cao Junmen, what I said about my humble position is the truth.
I hope Cao Junmen will take notice."
Cao Fengnian waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it won't be a big deal if the Tatars really come.
The Wu thief thinks that we are easy to bully, so let's show him what a real fierce general is."
Cao Fengnian looked down upon Wu Sangui and his ilk.
Once this person was betrayed and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
Secondly, the reason why this person was able to achieve great success was because of his connections.
Wu Sangui's uncle was the first ancestor of Liao Town, Dashou.
Relying on this relationship, he also reached the high position of Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief.
People like Cao Fengnian who came from a poor family looked down upon young masters like Wu Sangui the most.
Why can you enjoy glory and wealth as soon as you are born?

Why do I have to work hard step by step?
Just because you have a good father.
Cao Fengnian's heart was filled with contempt and disdain for Wu Sangui.
He very much hoped to find an opportunity to step on Wu Sangui hard, but now this opportunity came to his lips.
If I don't take a bite again, wouldn't I be sorry for myself?
Cao Fengnian said coldly: "Send the order, the whole city is under martial law.
Didn't Wu Sangui want to come and beat the autumn wind?
I'll let him hit his head and bleed."
Wu Sangui ordered to stop twenty miles away from Yun County.
Most of the army rations had been consumed.
Although it was barely enough, Wu Sangui decided to order the soldiers to collect food just in case.
Beating grain is a nicer way of saying it, but it actually means beating the autumn wind.
The Qing army did not have any psychological pressure on this.
When they were still Guan Ning's army, they often killed good people and took credit for their merits.
Now that they have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they are even more unscrupulous and vent all the evil in human nature.
They will rob the villagers of all their food without hesitation, and they don't care at all whether these villagers will starve to death due to lack of food.
Wu Sangui gave all the soldiers three days to grab as much food as they could.
Three days later, Wu Sangui ordered a general attack on Yun County, Yunyang Prefecture, and everything in the army's reach would be razed to the ground.
"Master, you have to make up your mind.
Should we run or stay?"
Li Chen's eyes were red and she was whimpering a little.
Li Laoshi sat on the edge of the kang and blew out a smoke ring, and said angrily: "Where are you running?
Now that the Tatars have surrounded the whole village, they are going to search every house.
Can you escape?"
"Then what should we do?
Just wait for the Tatars to rush into the house and steal all the food."
Mrs.
Li Chen had a sad look on her face, and even her voice sounded a bit miserable.
"Of course we can't just sit back and wait for death.
The Tatars are here to steal food.
If we don't have food, they will naturally leave."
Li Laoshi took a deep breath and said, "Let's dig a big hole in the yard and bury all the food in it."
"ah" Mrs.
Li Chen exclaimed: "Master, you are so smart, why didn't I think of that?"
"Stop saying these are useless, let's dig quickly."
Li Laoshi and Li Chen did have a son, but his son was admitted as a scholar or a junior student.
Now he is studying in a government school, so he is naturally not around him on weekdays.
Fortunately, Li Laoshi is the best at physical work like digging holes, so it doesn't matter even if his son is not around.
"Hey, hey, let's do it" Li Laoshi is a good digger, and Li Chenshi is more of a helper for him.
Li Laoshi was busy sweating profusely for a while, and finally dug a deep pit.
"Master, that's enough.
This hole is deep enough."
Li Chen looked at the pit and said with joy.
"Why are you still standing there?
Why don't you bring the rice vat quickly?"

"Okay, I'll go right away" After Li Chen finished speaking, she turned and left.
After a while, she left and came back.
I saw her moving the rice vat to the edge of the pit and saying, "Master, come here and help me."
Li Laoshi didn't mind it, and immediately leaned over to help his wife lift the rice vat.
The two of them worked together to lift the rice vat into the pit, and then covered it with soil.
Li Chen trampled it firmly and sprinkled a layer of loose soil on it before she was satisfied.
"Okay, it's okay now.
The Tatars will definitely turn around and leave when they see our house is empty."
The stone hanging in Li Chen's heart finally fell to the ground, and her mood is now much better.
"We don't need to be in a hurry now.
Just wait quietly for the Tatars to come.
As long as the Tatars come once, they will definitely not bother us again."
Li Laoshi also nodded and said.
"Hehe, ho ho, let them go ho ho ho to others
