Guangwu Mountain is located in the northwest of Xingyang, on the edge of the Yellow River.Wu Sangui stood on the top of the mountain, and the Ming army under the mountain was holding a torch and was busy building fortifications.Looking at the trenches and the Yellow River behind him, Wu Sangui only felt that he was extremely stupid.fled to this mountain, surrounded by Zhao Zamao, he became a contemporary horse.It's good that people who have been in battle for a long time, who have been in the world for decades, have fallen to this point, which is really shameful and has become the name of a vertical son.At this time, on the Guangwu Mountain within a radius of several miles, the defeated army of the Zhou army was all over the place, and the soldiers were all over the mountain, and the groans of the wounded soldiers added a sense of desolation.For a while, it made people feel that their situation was as if Zhao Jun was in Changping and Shu Jun was in the street pavilion, which made people cry sadly.At this time, Wu Sangui was sitting on a big rock, and the generals were sitting around, but no one made a sound, and they didn't want to mention the fiasco during the day.Hong Chengchou came over with a bowl of broth, presented it to Wu Sangui, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, drink some!"
”Wu Sangui pushed it away, "Don't drink it, let the soldiers drink it!"
”Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "Don't worry, the soldiers have it."
Although the grain and grass were lost, there were many horses and mules in the army, and the army could still kill horses for food. ”The Zhou army retreated to Guangwu Mountain, the grain and grass were all lost, and the army had run out of food, but the Zhou army had a large number of war horses and livestock, and for a time there was no worry about running out of food.Wu Sangui pushed it away again, suddenly stood up in anger, and shouted loudly, "The widow said, the widow doesn't eat!"
”Wu Sangui's voice was very loud, and his saliva sprayed Hong Chengchou's face, Hong Chengchou could only take back the bowl stupidly, standing there very embarrassed.After all, he is the minister of state, and being yelled at by Wu Sangui in front of so many people is a very shameless thing.Sure enough, the surrounding generals and soldiers all looked over, but they were still silent.Hong Chengchou touched the spit on his face, handed the bowl to his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, after Luoyang gets the news, Prime Minister Sun will definitely bring troops to help, and Jiang Xiang will also lead the army over, please don't be discouraged." ”When Wu Sangui heard this, he felt that such anger would only shake the hearts of the army and would not help, so he immediately sat down again.Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Besides, although this Guangwu Mountain is a dead land, it may not have no way to live. ”Wu Sangui raised his head when he heard this, and the surrounding generals also looked at Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui grabbed Hong Chengchou as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "The prime minister said that there is still a way to live!"
”Hong Chengchou bowed his head slightly, lowered his head and whispered.…… At the foot of Guangwu Mountain, in the camp of the Ming army, Zhao Ming was listening to the report of the generals."
Your Highness, in this battle, at least 40,000 Zhou thieves were killed, 50,000 were captured, and countless baggage and ordnance were seized!"
Zhang Jiayu said excitedly: "After this battle, the vitality of the Zhou army is greatly damaged, and it is only a matter of time before His Highness dominates the world." ”Zhao Ming was also very happy in his heart, turned his head and instructed Wang Yi: "At night, the army must strengthen its vigilance, and Wu Sangui must not be allowed to escape." ”Wang Yi smiled and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister has surrounded the three family slaves. ”Zhao Ming laughed and said: "That's good, get rid of this big trouble alone, Zhongxing Daming, just around the corner." ”"Your Highness, although Wu Sangui is trapped, the minister thinks that he can't be careless!"
Zhang Jiayu saw that Zhao Ming and the generals were a little complacent, and couldn't help but salute and remind.Zhao Ming thought about it, and he was as good as a stream, but between his words, there was still a trace of arrogance, "What Zhang Senjun said is that Wu Sangui will not die for a day, and everyone should not relax their vigilance." ”"His Royal Highness, Wu Sangui, although he was trapped in Guangwu Mountain and lost all his baggage, there were many war horses, mules and horses in his army, and he would not run out of food in a short time.The enemy army is trapped on the mountain, which is not conducive to our army's upward attack, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve Wu Sangui for a while!
”Zhang Jiayu said: "Now that Wu Sangui is trapped, Zhou Guo will inevitably react.That Sun Kewang and Jiang Xiang are likely to lead the army to come and relieve the siege for Wu Sangui. ”Zhao Ming frowned, then sat up straight, and said, "Joining the army is reasonable." ”"Hebei soldiers and horses want to guard Beijing, and Jiang Xiang can't contain Jiang Xiang, Jiang Xiang will definitely come to help when he learns that Wu Sangui is trapped.In addition, Sun Kewang is expected to get the news, and he will inevitably gather soldiers and horses to relieve the siege for Wu Sangui. ”Wang Yi said in a deep voice.Zhao Ming stood up, took two steps in the big tent, and suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the army must strike while the iron is hot and encircle and annihilate Wu Sangui as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”In the past year, the Ming army invaded the Manchus in the north and recovered Beijing, and then went south non-stop to pacify Nanjing.By this time, the Ming army had defeated Wu Sangui, and the soldiers were actually very tired and began to breed war-weariness.Therefore, Zhao Ming did not want the war to continue to drag on, it was best to be able to deal with Wu Sangui as soon as possible, let the army rest, and then attack in a big way to completely destroy the Zhou State.Zhao Ming walked to the map with his hands in his hand and ordered: "Command the army, rest tonight, and prepare to attack the mountain tomorrow."
In addition, two more envoys were sent to see Jiang Xiang and Sun Kewang.For Jiang Xiang, he was allowed to continue to guard Shanxi, and for Sun Kewang, this person was ambitious, so he could instigate him to stand on his own. ”Jiang Xiang is a warlord and has certain ambitions, but now that the situation is in the situation, he must also know that he has long lost the opportunity to compete for the world.Therefore, at this time, what Jiang Xiang wants should be just to divide one side and be a soil emperor.Zhao Ming wanted to pretend to allow Jiang Xiang to defend Shanxi first, let Jiang Xiang wait and see, and after solving Wu Sangui, it would be easy to clean up Jiang Xiang.Sun Kewang is very ambitious, and he may not be willing to succumb to Wu Sangui, and now that Wu Sangui is surrounded, it is also an opportunity for Sun Kewang.Regardless of whether the strategy can be implemented or not, whether there are dates or not, it is Zhao Ming's consistent style of acting.When Zhang Jiayu and the others heard this, they glanced at each other, and immediately saluted, "The ministers will go and handle it." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, waved his hand to let everyone out of the tent, and at this moment, the curtain was raised, Wang Shuang strode in, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Wu Sangui sent a messenger down the mountain, wanting to cut the land and sue for peace. ”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Cutting the land for peace?"
”Wang Shuang nodded, "The messenger is searching outside the tent, will His Highness see it or not?"
”Zhao Ming was about to get up, but when he heard the words, he sat down again, and pondered: "Let him come in, it doesn't hurt for the Lone King to see him." ”Zhao Ming immediately beckoned, and the generals who were about to leave the tent came back and listened to what the envoy said.After a short time, two soldiers lifted the tent curtains, and one was led into the tent.Zhao Ming and the general in the tent looked at each other, but they saw that the person who came was in his thirties, with a dark face and a strong body, and he was a battle-hardened person.As soon as the man came in, he saw that everyone was looking at him, looking a little cramped, and when he came forward, he saluted Zhao Ming, "Wu Sanfu, the general of Zhou State, pays a visit to the regent of the Ming Dynasty." ”Zhao Ming heard his name and knew that he was Wu Sangui's clansman, so he asked coldly, "Why did Wu Sangui send you here?"
”Wu Sanfu kowtowed and said: "The king of Zhou is willing to cede Henan, declare himself a vassal to the regent, and ask the regent to raise his noble hand and let the Zhou country go." ”(Ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe, ask for a booklist) ()
