Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

In Linxiang County, the two armies were fighting fiercely. Chen Shikai, the general of Hangzhou of the David Kingdom, urged his subordinates to launch another offensive, but the 3,000 soldiers under the command of Li Sixing and Liu Zhen, the commanders of the Qing army defending the city, were all experienced "old thieves (the Qing court's nickname for Li Dingguo's army)", and the 5,000 Guangxi soldiers under the command of the deputy commander Meng Yimao were also brave and brave. They were not only experienced in combat, but also fearless in fighting. Once again, the general sighed as he looked at the city.

As a general who surrendered to the Wei Dynasty earlier, Chen Shikai was promoted to general, which was not a slow promotion. However, compared with the surrendered generals of the same period, Xuan Youcai was awarded the third-class Jizhou Earl and the admiral of Huguang Army, Niu Wancai was awarded the third-class Jinghai Earl and the admiral of Tianjin, Cai Lu was awarded the third-class Linzhang Earl and the admiral of Henan, and Zhang Wei was awarded the deputy admiral of Huguang Army. The promotion speed was slow. Even compared with the surrendered generals who surrendered later, Hu Maozhen was awarded the first-class Hanyang Earl, Yang Jie and Guo Yi were awarded admirals, and Yang Laijia was awarded the deputy admiral.

Comparing yourself to others can make you angry. Although Chen Shikai knew that he was only a deputy general in the Qing Dynasty, while other surrendered generals were at least generals, so he was not slow, but he still did not accept it in his heart, always thinking about making great achievements to get his official rank promoted. Unexpectedly, he was ordered to capture the small county of Linxiang, but he failed to capture it repeatedly. How could he not be anxious?

"General, General Feng sent someone to tell us that the soldiers are exhausted today and request to return to the camp to rest and attack again tomorrow." Just as he was feeling frustrated, his subordinates brought a request from Feng Duo, the general of Shanhaiguan. In fact, Feng Duo had a worse career than Chen Shikai. Chen Shikai was promoted to general after surrendering, but Feng Duo was a general in the Qing Dynasty and is still a general today. Not only was he not given a title, he was not even awarded a deputy admiral. Instead, he was transferred away from the important Shanhaiguan by the Wei Ting in the name of accompanying the expedition. Feng Duo thought he had made great contributions to Shanhaiguan, and he could not help but complain that he did not work very hard in this siege.

"Go back to the camp to rest? Humph! It's not dark yet. Tell him that he can only go back to the camp after attacking for another hour." After hearing Feng Duo's request, Chen Shikai, who was already furious, became furious and vented his anger on Feng Duo.

"What! Chen Shikai asked me to attack for another hour?" Feng Duo's face turned red after receiving the military order. In the past, he was the general of the Qing Dynasty, and Chen Shikai was only the deputy general. I didn't expect that he would command me now! Although he was angry, David did not dare to disobey the strict military law, and could only reluctantly attack for another hour.

After returning to the camp, Feng Duo was feeling depressed and paced back and forth in the big tent. Suddenly, a guard came to report, "General, there is a man who claims to be your old friend who wants to see you."

"Oh, did you give your name?"

"The man said his name was Zhu Yingsheng."

"Zhu Yingsheng?" Feng Duo was stunned. He seemed to have heard this name before, but he couldn't remember where.

"That person said if you can't figure out who he is, let me show you this," the guard brought out another piece of paper.

Feng Duo took a closer look and saw a short poem written on it: "Watching the sword energy in Hengqiu, leaping on horseback to cross the golden waves. Riding on a horse with a cloud-like chariot, personally waving the sword", he could not help but feel a sense of awe. This poem is not very literary, but the person who wrote it is very famous, that is, Hong Chengchou, the governor of five provinces in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Hong Chengchou was ordered by the Qing court to go south to Huguang to wipe out the Southern Ming in one fell swoop. In high spirits, he wrote this five-character quatrain "Supervising the Army". Because the Feng brothers had an old relationship with Hong Jinglie, they mentioned this poem in a letter at that time.

Finally, Feng Duo remembered the name Zhu Yingsheng. Could it be Zhu Yingsheng, the aide of Mr. Hong? His heart trembled, and he pretended to be calm and said, "He is indeed an old friend of mine. Please invite him to the account."

"Mr. Feng, I haven't seen you for many years. Do you still remember me? Hahaha~" As soon as they met, Zhu Yingsheng burst into laughter. During the Chongzhen period, this man had formed a society with Zhang Pu, Wu Yingqi and others, "using cinnabar and lead to promote and demote scholars all over the world", which made people follow the trend. Although he is old now, he still has the bold and unrestrained demeanor of a celebrity, as if he was not in the enemy camp but as a guest at an old friend's house.

"Oh, Mr. Zhu, please keep your voice down, please keep your voice down~" Feng Duo was so panicked that he kept trying to persuade him.

"Haha, if it were in public, I would avoid suspicion. But now I am in your tent, and everyone around me is your trusted confidant. Don't you even trust the people around you?" Zhu Yingsheng laughed without restraint.

"Hehe~" Feng Duo sneered, "Mr. Zhu, what do you want from me? Are you here to bring me credit?"

"I am just a corrupt scholar. I can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands. Even if you capture me and hand me over to the fake king, what kind of merit will that be?" Zhu Yingsheng laughed and said, "If you are talking about merit, it would be a great merit if Lord Feng was willing to turn against us and help our army defeat the fake king. Lord Hong said that if you are willing to surrender, you will not lose your title of duke."

"Hahaha~" Feng Duo laughed loudly. He taunted, "Sir, may I ask, who is stronger, Wei or Qing?"

Zhu Yingsheng stroked his beard calmly and replied: "Of course Wei is strong and Qing is weak."

"You know that Wei is strong and Qing is weak, but you want me to abandon Wei and surrender to Qing. Isn't that stupid?" After saying that, Feng Duo looked at Zhu Yingsheng with a playful look, which meant: I am not stupid, don't fool me. "Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng, if it were someone else, it would be fine to abandon Qing and surrender to Wei, but if it were you, it would be a way to death! You don't even know that disaster is coming, what a pity! How sad!" Zhu Yingsheng sighed and stared at the person in front of him as if he were staring at a dead person.

Feng Duo's heartbeat quickened, and he asked tremblingly, "Why do you say that, sir?"

"Have you forgotten how Princess Hami died?" Zhu Yingsheng stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I was not the one who killed Princess Hami. What does it have to do with me?"

"But it was your brother who first suggested to the late emperor to threaten the pseudo-Khan with the life of Princess Hami. If the pseudo-Khan was not jealous, why would he deliberately send your brother to Xuanfu to die? If he really trusted you, why did he transfer you away from Shanhaiguan?"

This sentence hit Feng Duo so hard that he sat on the chair, sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Zhu Yingsheng asked again: "You have contributed a lot to Shanhaiguan, and you have also made many military achievements during the expedition. I wonder if you can be promoted?"

Hearing this, Feng Duo felt stabbed again and became restless.

"The Wei State was founded on military merit, and those who have made contributions have always been rewarded. Your contribution is so great, but you are not rewarded. Isn't it abnormal? Now that the world is not settled, in order to appease the surrendered generals, the pseudo-Khan will not kill you. When the Jin Ou is unified, that will be the day you will be crushed to pieces."

"This~this~this~" Feng Duo's face turned pale, and he collapsed on the chair as if all his energy had been drained away.

Zhu Yingsheng stopped talking and just looked at him silently.

After a while, Feng Duo stood up and bowed to Zhu Yingsheng to express his gratitude, "Thank you sir for your reminder. Please report to Jinglüe Hong that I am willing to obey your orders."

General Zhengbei and Prince of Qingyang Tunqi inspected the defense of Baling City and returned to his headquarters. After years of fighting, he developed the habit of patrolling the camp every day and did not dare to slack off at all.

Suddenly, the second son, General Fuertai, came into the tent and reported, "Father, General Hong has arrived from Changsha and is waiting in the side room."

"Who?" Tunqi was stunned, then quickly walked towards the wing room.

Inside the side room, a white-haired old man was staring at the map with difficulty. Who else could it be but Hong Chengchou?

"Mr. Hong, why did you go to Baling instead of staying in Changsha to recuperate?" Tunqi's voice was filled with both anger and emotion.

"Ahem~ Ahem~" Hong Chengchou wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the time has come for us to fight back!" (End of this chapter)
