Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 245 Three General Soldiers
  The battle in Shenyang City took only three hours from start to finish.

When Wei Qi died, the sky had turned white and the winter sun was about to shine on the earth.

After the biting cold wind, comes the warm sun and melting snow.

The actual controller of this battle, who has been hiding behind the scenes and has basically never shown up, is the Duke of Lang Kingdom, Wang Qi, who is standing on the north bank of the Hun River in a blue brocade robe, with more than a hundred personal guards not far away. .

With his body hunched over, Wang Qi was spreading the cumin and chili powder evenly on the roasted lamb with a serious look on his face.

The fire under the grill is blazing, and the aroma has spread into the distance with the breeze.

The fighting in the distance and the tranquility here are like two worlds.

"Sir, Qin Erbao has arrived," Wang Shouxin reported to Wang Qi respectfully, holding a spice plate and a meat cutting knife.

"Let him come over," Wang Qi's eyes stayed on the roasted whole lamb. The brown and tender mutton was now sizzling with oil and water. He used a knife to gently cut off the skin and meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well, the heat is up," Wang Qi nodded. The meat inside has been smoked to perfection, and the fat of the lamb itself is already dripping down.

Not long after, Qin Erbao arrived wearing black armor.

"Qin Erbao pays homage to your lord!" Putting the helmet in his hand on the ground, Qin Erbao respectfully kowtowed to Wang Qi.

"Get up," Wang Qi straightened up and gently turned the iron frame rod.

After Qin Erbao stood up, he smiled, without any trace of the arrogance and murderousness he had just before in the city. He took the spice plate from Wang Shouxin's hand and stood respectfully beside Wang Qi: "Brother Qi's method of roasting a whole lamb is really impressive. It was an eye-opener for me, and the fragrance spread hundreds of miles away."

Brother Qi.
  Qin Erbao, who was the son of the family, followed Wang Qi, just like Brother Qi.

Now when I call again, the respect and closeness are the same as before.

Wang Qi glanced at Qin Erbao and finally showed a smile: "Erbao, after today, we will start thinking about how to run Liaodong in the future."

"I understand!" Qin Erbao looked startled, then nodded solemnly.

Liaodong is Wang Qi's basic base, and Qin Erbao, as Wang Qi's first confidant, will inevitably control the overall situation in Liaodong for Wang Qi when he takes charge of power in the capital.

"What's the damage in the battle?" Wang Qi gently cut off a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Twenty percent of the casualties, but most of them are minor injuries. They have received timely rescue. Don't worry, sir," Qin Erbao replied respectfully: "In addition, the King of Jianzhou Yizheng, Prince Li Daishan, was killed by shelling, and there were Prince Zheng of Jianzhou, Jierhalang, died in battle before the city."

"Well, not bad," Wang Qi nodded.

I don't know if it's a compliment to Qin Erbao or an appreciation for the barbecue.

"Sir," at this time, Wang Shouxin stepped forward again: "Cao Wen's edict has arrived."

When Qin Erbao heard this, he turned around and saw Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan City in armor, walking over with a sad and angry look on his face.

To be honest, Cao Wenzhao didn't have much room to show his talents in this battle. He spent most of the time leading his troops wandering around the south of Shenyang City. Except for the big battles in Fushun and Dongzhou Fort, he didn't even encounter any fierce battles in Shenyang City. of confrontation.

After all, both the north and south cities were occupied by Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng. How much room could Cao Wenzhao have to display his orders?

In addition, Qin Erbao was already a confidant of Wang Qi when he was still young, and Lu Xiangsheng also gave up the opportunity to get a Jinshi and followed Wang Qi to Liao. Following him all the way, he has proven to be worthy of the important task.

He belongs to Cao Wenzhao, and he is not considered a close relative. "The last general, Cao Wenzhao, pays homage to your lord!" Cao Wenzhao removed his armor and bowed to Wang Qi in the same manner.

"Get up," Wang Qi said as he asked someone to carry the roasted whole lamb down, ready to feast.

After hearing Wang Qi's words, Cao Wenzhao still knelt there without making any movement.

Qin Erbao, on the other hand, was also walking around Wang Qi with a plate of spices, ignoring Cao Wenzhao.

Turning his head and looking at General Cao kneeling there, Wang Qi smiled: "Wen Zhao, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, otherwise, don't talk about business during dinner."

"The last general. The last general sincerely requests you to lead your troops to the east to wipe out the remaining slave slaves!" After Cao Wen's edict, he kowtowed to Wang Qi three times, then straightened up, his expression still angry.

"Xiangdong, do you want to plow the court and sweep the holes to wipe out all the remnants of Jianzhou in Hetuala?" Wang Qi smiled and looked at Qin Erbao: "What does General Qin think?"

"This battle will wipe out the slave-building army with the force of thunder. Hetuala should not have reacted yet. At this time, he led his troops to wipe out the army. The winning rate is extremely high," Qin Erbao thought for a long time and then said.

Hearing Qin Erbao's words, Cao Wenzhao's expression changed, and there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

If it ends with the current record and is reported back to the capital, then he, Cao Wenzhao, will have no face to be ranked among the three major generals in Liaodong together with the other two!
  As a general, you establish yourself by fighting!

Cao Wenzhao was not willing to rely on the achievements of the other two to put money in his face.

"If you plan to wipe out Hetuala in one fell swoop, that's fine, but I don't have any extra food, grass, or supplies for you." Wang Qi understood Cao Wenzhao's thoughts. After all, in a battle, there must be someone to attack, someone to plunder, and someone to attack. Sacrifice is normal, and it is normal for Cao Wenzhao to want to establish his authority through war.

No food?

Cao Wenzhao laughed when he heard this: "Sir, the group of quails in Hetuala will be wiped out within ten days!"

"With this statement, I can't be too biased," Wang Qi laughed: "I will ask Yuan Chonghuan to transfer three days of food and grass to you, and it will be in Shenyang City, waiting for your success."

"If the Jiannu cannot be annihilated within ten days, I will be willing to deal with it through military law!"

"Get up," Wang Qi nodded, noncommittal.

At this moment, a rush of horse hooves sounded in the distance.

When everyone looked around, they saw Lu Xiangsheng dismounting from his horse a hundred steps away, accompanied by Horqin Bater and a child of more than ten years old.
  "General Lu Xiangsheng, please pay homage to the Governor!" Lu Xiangsheng always seemed to be so confident.

"Horqin Bat'er, pay homage to the respected Prince Ming Ting!" Bat'er had not seen Wang Qi for a long time since leaving the royal court.

But Wang Qi's reputation became even greater, so Horqin remained respectful.

"That's right, get up," Wang Qi said with a smile on his face, his eyes moving from the two of them to the child not far away.

"Sir, this man is Prince Rui of Jianzhou, Dorgon. He wanted to lead his troops to break out from the north of the city, but was captured by the last general," Lu Xiangsheng bowed and reported to Wang Qi.

Dorgon?
  Wang Qi chuckled when he heard this and looked at the famous emperor and regent in history, who was still a child now.

"Dorgon, meet the Governor of the Ming Dynasty," Dorgon naturally knew Wang Qi, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said tremblingly.
