Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 390
At this time, Wu Sangui already knew that when Zu Dashou led the troops out, he was surrounded and surrendered by Jian captives, and then Tashan, where other ancestral army was stationed, was also captured by Jian captives. The other members of the Ancestral Army who captured Jianlu were all killed by Jianlu.

For this situation, Wu Sangui was actually a little surprised.Because when he was in Liaodong, he felt that the relationship between the ancestral army and Jianlu maintained a tacit understanding.It can even be said that Jianlu also tried every means to poach the ancestral army, hoping that the ancestral army could be used by Jianlu.

However, in just over a year since he left, the Ancestral Family Army has all gone through such an ending.He was a little puzzled, besides, he also felt very sorry for his uncle, Zu Dashou's behavior.

If I had known today, I should have persuaded my uncle more in the first place. I was in two boats. No, something would happen sooner or later, right?Wu Sangui thought in his heart, and hated Zu Dashou a little bit.If he dies in battle, the imperial court will definitely provide compensation and reward his surviving family members.However, Zu Dashou surrendered to Jianlu, and was then executed by Jianlu.The imperial court has already known about this matter, so of course they will not give compensation to Zu Dashou and others.It even became a negative example to warn others.

Thinking about these things, Wu Sangui's mood was always quite depressed on the way here.

"Master, Datong is ahead. According to the previous itinerary, we have to rest for two days before continuing on our way." Wu Sangui's personal guard reminded him after seeing Datong City.

Wu Sangui heard this, and looked up at the Datong Mansion.In the past, he remembered clearly that he arrived here with his car, waited for a few days, then left suddenly, and then wiped out the Tumote tribe in Hetao.The emperor's method, which is mysterious, is really powerful.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui couldn't help complaining to Zu Dashou and the others in his heart: The emperor is so wise and mighty, why he still can't figure it out, but why he wants to surrender to Jianlu?

Datong is a military town, guarded by the general army of Datong.After verifying Wu Sangui's Guanfang Seal, a barracks was vacated for Wu Sangui's troops to rest.

Wu Sangui was inevitably affected by the destruction of the Ancestral Family Army.The General Soldier of Datong was very indifferent to him, with a businesslike look on his face.This kind of thing was rarely encountered before the ancestral family army was destroyed.As an upstart in the ancestral army, he is very popular and the object of being surrounded by people.

However, Wu Sangui didn't care much about the contrast he encountered.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on the sky and the earth.Wu Sangui's expedition with him this time and his stay in the northwest region to fight also greatly tempered him, making him firmly believe that he is a capable person.The honor that was lost before, you can earn it back by yourself!
He just thought, after returning to Liaodong this time, he must rectify the name of the ancestral army, hit Jianlu severely, regain his fame and prestige!It can be said that at this time, he was holding his breath in his heart, thinking that he must make a big career in Liaodong.

However, what Wu Sangui didn't expect was that the day after he arrived in Datong, he heard the sound of police gongs from the top of the city, and heard the panic shouts, saying something like "Jianlu is here to kill".

Immediately, Wu Sangui, who was in the barracks, was shocked, and immediately went out to check the situation.

At this time, he didn't need to ask anyone else, he could only see the direction of the grassland, and he could see the rising smoke of the wolf, and there were probably four places of the wolf smoke.Looking at it like this, it seems that the scale of the attacking enemy is not small.

As a guest army, he couldn't go directly to the top of the city, so he immediately called on the General Soldier of Datong and expressed his desire to help.

When the general of Datong heard this, he immediately agreed: "There have been Jianlu scouts outside the city. Money Rat Tail is absolutely unmistakable. And they are coming very fast and menacingly. Datong really needs Marshal Wu to fight against Jianlu It’s better to be a prisoner!”

So, Wu Sangui went up to the top of the city with the general soldier of Datong to check the movement.

Sure enough, just outside the city of Datong, there were already Jianlu prowling around.Just like when they were in Liaodong, they were very arrogant. They often drove their horses to a place within a stone's throw of the city, and yelled at the top of the city, which meant contempt.

"The situation is not good. The several piers outside are all the highest-level beacons." Datong General Soldier said with a sad face, "It seems that this time, the Jianlu from Hetao invaded Datong Mansion in a large scale. Yes. Just now I sent a messenger for the first time, and went to the surrounding area to ask for help."

Datong is under the jurisdiction of Governor Xuanda. Here, it has always been an important military town operated by the Ming army, and there are quite a few troops.To the west of Datong Mansion is Yulin Town in Shaanxi Province, where the governor of Yansui is located, and it is also a very important military town in Ming Dynasty.Once several places cooperate to fight together, there are not many Jianlu people, so don't even think about getting a good deal!

Wu Sangui nodded after hearing this, it is very necessary to ask for help.Otherwise, once the city is besieged, it will be very difficult to ask for help.Now that the messenger has been sent out, it is good to stick to it.The importance of Datong Mansion is self-evident, and the imperial court will definitely not fail to save it.It's a pity that I only have two thousand cavalry, otherwise, if my guest army suddenly arrives in Datong, it's not something that Jianlu can count, but Jianlu can suffer a loss.

At this time, Datong City is naturally under martial law.

The next day, the Jianlu army finally appeared outside the city in mighty force.

Looking from the top of the city, there are mountains and plains, and enemies are everywhere almost as far as the eye can see.There are Mongolian cavalry in sloppy clothes, and Jianlu cavalry with money rat tails.The enemies coming from the grasslands are really extravagant, there is no such thing as infantry, all of them are cavalry or mounted infantry.There are so many of them, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes gathers together, as if the earth dragon is about to turn over.

As the commander-in-chief, Wu Sangui naturally judged from the banner at the first time what kind of enemy the enemy outside the city belonged to?After watching the details with the General Soldier of Datong, I probably knew it.

Most of the Mongolian cavalry troops are Mongolian tribes on the line from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and the leaders among the Jianlu are Prince Zheng and Duoluo Wuying County King of Jianlu.This is also in line with the news I heard before: it is said that Jianlu sent Jierhalang and Azig to lead more than 1 people to Guihua City.

"Damn, what are these Jian captives doing so stupid? Instead of attacking the nearest Shaanxi side, they went to attack Datong Mansion!" Check out the city!"

Wu Sangui didn't say a word. Jianlu's army this time was all cavalry. Shaanxi and Shanxi were close together. Wherever they wanted to fight, the distance was not a problem at all.He stared at the flag of Jianlu leader outside the city, thinking about his own affairs.

At this time, the Jianlu army outside the city, under the command of the leader Jianlu, surrounded Datong Mansion in groups.At the same time, it can be seen that there are also cavalry troops galloping out of the encircling army, and nine out of ten are going to plunder the surrounding area.However, there is a beacon message, which should be seen everywhere, and there will definitely be precautions.

"Damn, are those two people Jierharang and that Azig of Jianlu?" Datong General Soldier pointed to the side outside the city, and said angrily, "If you have the ability, get closer and point to Datong. What do you mean? Do you really dare to attack the city?"

Hearing this, Wu Sangui came back to his senses, and looked up upon hearing the sound.It was found that the banners of Jierharang and Azig were indeed close to the city wall.Of course, the so-called closeness is also at a safe distance, and you won't be so stupid as to stand within the effective range of long-range weapons on the top of the city.

Looking at them, it seems that they are watching the movement on the top of the city and making some arrangements by the way.This kind of thing is also very common when the two armies are facing each other.However, Wu Sangui looked a little strange, he blinked, and then looked over there intently.

After a while, Wu Sangui frowned and muttered to himself: "Strange, that Azig is right, but that Jierhalang looks a little different!"

Of course, the General Soldier of Datong had never met Jierhalang and Azig, but Wu Sangui had been in the Guanning Army before and stayed by Zu Dashou's side. Therefore, he had repeatedly dealt with the senior leaders of Jianlu I saw them on the top of the city, so I recognized them.

However, from what he saw right now, there was nothing wrong with that Azig.However, that Jierhalang, although he looks a bit like it, but Wu Sangui has a good memory, he doesn't look like it.

After looking at it for a while, Wu Sangui said decisively: "That's not Jierhalang!"

"What? You said that the slave chieftain is not their Prince Zheng Jierhalang?" The general soldier of Datong heard it this time, and after looking carefully, he still said doubtfully, "Impossible, that Azig is against him. They are all respectful when they speak, what are they asking for instructions. The Jian captives outside the city are all dominated by this Jierhalang. Are you reading it wrong?"

Indeed, judging from the situation outside the city, the General Soldier of Datong was right.Generally speaking, that person is Jierharang, and he definitely didn't run away.However, Wu Sangui knew him. After looking carefully again, he said decisively: "My memory has always been good. Although that person is under the banner of Prince Zheng, Azig seems to be respectful to him. However, this person is definitely not Jierharang!"

Hearing what he said so resolutely, the commander-in-chief of Datong was puzzled: "Since that person is not the real Jierhalang, what the hell is Jianlu doing?"

Wu Sangui was also puzzled. He didn't have the wiretapping system owned by Emperor Chongzhen, so he couldn't tell what Jianlu was doing in the first place.But at this time, since he had discovered something strange, he naturally observed it more carefully.

Needless to say, under Wu Sangui's careful observation, he discovered many problems.

For example, there are some money rat tails. Their words, deeds, and way of doing things are inconsistent with Wu Sangui's long-term impression of Jianlu on the front line of Guanning. More, they seem to be the way of doing things of the Mongols.

For another example, the army outside the city seems to be mighty and mighty, but looking at it personally, it seems that it is not real, and it is not necessarily that there are so many soldiers.In a place that was too far away, although there were still figures swaying, Wu Sangui always felt something was wrong.

…………

The more he looked, the more doubts Wu Sangui felt.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said immediately: "Isn't it possible that Jianlu is making a fuss?"

"What's the sound?" Datong Commander-in-Chief asked curiously after hearing this.

After hearing this, Wu Sangui pointed at the fake Jierhalang and said, "From the fake Jierhalang, we can see that Jianlu wants us to think that this is the real Jierhalang in Datong. Its real intention must be to cover up the whereabouts of the real Jierhalang. This is one of them."

"Secondly, look over there again." Wu Sangui pointed to the distance, and said to the general soldier of Datong all the issues he observed, "Those people should not be the real Jianlu cavalry army. Or, these people should be Mongols. People who have only become Jianlu not long ago. At least in terms of behavior and work, there are still many differences from the army of Jianlu headquarters..."

Hearing what he said a lot, the general of Datong was not stupid. He figured it out, but he said incomprehensibly: "If it is true what Marshal Wu said, what is Jianlu's plan?"

Wu Sangui couldn't guess this point.According to his speculation about the nature of Jianlu, he asked several questions in a row, such as where is there food hoarding, or where is the amount of food and grass materials gathered, or where someone escaped, and the defense is not in place recently, etc. The soldiers refused.

"Today's emperor is wise and powerful, so how dare all the places dare to fool around with military affairs." Datong General Soldier said with a little emotion, "Although most border towns cannot take the initiative to attack the grassland, they have all the precautions they should have. Pier towers, beacon towers , and all repairs have been completed. Now it is not as moneyless as before. Not only are the salaries owed, but even the military salaries are paid on time. As long as the money for repairing the defense facilities is reported to the Governor, basically all funds will be allocated after verification They came down. As for food, grass and supplies, there are wolves on the grasslands for hundreds of years, so they must be guarded against them!"

Wu Sangui heard it very strangely, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to say in the end: "There are two places to verify. First, to see if Jianlu will really attack the city. Second, send someone to break out of the siege to report that if Jianlu doesn't attack the city , or if he can successfully break through, it means that Jianlu is bluffing to attract my Ming's attention, and he will definitely cause trouble elsewhere!"

The general soldier of Datong listened and nodded in agreement.

Even if there is no such guess, the Datong General Soldier should continue to send people to ask for help.However, Wu Sangui's guess will be added to the content of the letter.

Not contrary to Wu Sangui's expectations, Jianlu had been besieging the city and not fighting, at most he was just harassing the city and being arrogant.The messenger also broke out and sent the letter back to Datong.It is said that Yansui was also attacked by grassland tribes, but the scale was not as large as here.

Earlier, the governor of Yansui thought that Jianlu was going to attack Datong, so he delayed Yansui.However, Wu Sangui's guess made Governor Yansui feel that he would be under the key attack of Jianlu, so he did not plan to send reinforcements over.

When Wu Sangui curiously guessed the movement of the Jianlu, the news about the Jianlu army's invasion of Datong also spread wave after wave.
