Borrow the day to change the day

It was almost evening, without the warmth brought by the sun, the weather became colder.From time to time, the cold wind howls across the ground, making people shiver with cold.

But even so, there is still a large army on the march, rather than looking for a place to camp to escape the cold and keep warm.

Suddenly there was a rider at the front of the team, who galloped back along the team, arrived at a carriage at the intersection of step and ride, rolled off the saddle, and reported to the car: "Report to Zhongcheng, five miles ahead, I found the place where Shangyulin Fort is located. The Great Wall. Forward left guerrilla, General Wu Can ask whether to attack or not?"

It took a while for there to be any movement inside the vehicle, and the window opened, revealing a tired, wrinkled face.He first looked at the sky, then looked at the terrain outside through the car window, then put down the car window and shrank back.

But the old voice came out immediately, and the car said: "I have an order from the general, all the ministries will find a shelter from the wind to camp nearby, and Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui are ordered to come to see this officer."

"Yes, Zhongcheng." The visitor agreed loudly, immediately got on his horse, and galloped forward again.

At this moment, there was another continuous coughing sound from the car.An old knight by the side of the car sighed. He approached the window and said to the inside: "Master, don't open the window in the future, A Fulai will take care of anything."

After a while, Yuan Keli stopped coughing, and replied to Ah Fu, "Understood, pass the order."

This is the 16th time Master No. promised himself, but he broke his promise later.With a sad face, Ah Fu turned around and nodded to one of Yuan Keli's personal guards.

The personal guard immediately passed on the order to set up camp, which relieved the infantry who were busy on their way.

The soldiers in Dalinghe City did not move. These troops were all drawn from Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and Jinzhou.They detoured through the grassland, and under the personal supervision of Yuan Keli, they rushed all the way in the cold wind, and kept on their way with a marching speed that they had never had before.

Fortunately, Jianlu didn't pay much attention to the protection of the grassland, and his attention was concentrated on the Haizhou area. In addition, the weather was cold. Therefore, the march of Guan Ning's army was extremely smooth. Only a small number of Jianlu were encountered, and they were all regarded as vanguards. Cavalry solved.All the infantry needs to do is keep on going.

Before it was completely dark, the army finally set up camp hastily.But Yuan Keli didn't get out of the car, but continued to stay in the car. After all, this car was refitted by Ah Fu, and the effect of keeping it warm was excellent.And the whole car is in the tent, and another layer of shelter from the wind has been added.

Ah Fu didn't take the opportunity to rest. Although he was old, he still cooked medicine for Yuan Keli swiftly.Only Yuan Keli's personal guards and senior generals in the army knew that Yuan Zhongcheng was ill, but no one knew the severity of the illness.

The reason for hiding it from the whole army is because they are afraid that the army's morale will be unstable.

After Ah Fu served Yuan Keli to take medicine and eat, Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui rushed to the Zhongjun tent.

At the gate of the camp, Ah Fu told the two generals who came excitedly: "Zhong Cheng's body needs more rest, can you make a long story short?"

When the two heard it, their high emotions subsided a little bit, they nodded in agreement, and then they entered by roll call.

"Beijing guerrilla Zuo Liangyu sees Lord Zhongcheng!"

"Wu Sangui, general of Ningyuan, has a meeting with Lord Zhongcheng!"

In the original history, Wu Sangui was already the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan at this time.But because of the butterfly effect, Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, was known by Zhong Jinwei when he escaped in support of the Jinzhou War, so he had no chance to make his mark.

However, Zu Dale, one of Wu Sangui's uncles, rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and took refuge in Jianlu, causing heavy casualties to Denglaiming's army.Although I was caught and sentenced to death, it somewhat affected Wu Sangui, my nephew.

The other uncle, Zu Dashou, did not have the power in the Guanning Army in history, which made Wu Sangui less of a help.

The combination of various reasons made Wu Sangui only a general now.However, this general was obtained through Wu Sangui's own efforts.

He was born in martial arts when Emperor Chongzhen came to the throne. The young Wu Sangui was full of vigor and bravery in battle. Because of his family relationship, he was involved in the art of war and strategy.

After the two of them finished reporting, they waited quietly for Yuan Zhongcheng to speak.

Because Yuan Keli had just eaten a meal and drank the medicine, his energy was much better.So he immediately said: "Now we are not far from the Great Wall where Shangyulin Fort is located, that is, we are not far from Shenyang. After the rest of the army, we must conquer Shangyulin Fort tomorrow morning, and then attack it with lightning speed. To the north of Shenyang, block the return route of Jian captives fleeing north. Do you have confidence?"

"The final general asks for the post of vanguard, and he will definitely fulfill the order of Zhongcheng." Zuo Liangyu replied loudly as soon as Yuan Keli finished speaking.

Wu Sangui was not to be reconciled, and immediately followed suit: "Don't worry Zhongcheng, the final general will definitely rush to Shenyang first."

The reason why the two of them did not give in to each other was to compete for the vanguard.Or because of Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli resorted to a method. First, he explained to the whole army that this was the biggest battle against the captives. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to make military achievements, it would be difficult to have such a good opportunity to make military achievements in the future.

Then he used words to make Wu Sangui, a newcomer in the Guanning Army, and Zuo Liangyu in the Jingying Army compete for the vanguard position. In the end, he decided that the two troops were both vanguards, opening the way for the whole army, making them unconvinced and competing with each other. .

As soon as this kind of competition was formed, the momentum of the Ming army along the way was very strong.In addition, with Yuan Keli watching, there was no conflict between them, only healthy competition, which drove the marching speed of the entire army.Because of this, the whole army arrived two days earlier than previously estimated.

But Yuan Keli didn't plan to rest outside the pass for two days, but wanted the army to go straight to the north of Shenyang and block Jianlu early so that Jianlu wouldn't escape.

The reason for this was that he didn't know whether the other two marches were as smooth as the Guanning Army, and the second was that if the purpose was to encircle Jianlu, it was better to arrive early than late.Even if there are a few casualties, the opportunity to block Jianlu in Shenyang will not be missed.

On this point, if Yuan Keli hadn't led the army, no one would have done it.

Now he sees that Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui are still not giving in to each other, they are fighting for this vanguard with high morale, and they don't want to let the other party get it alone.Smiling in his heart, he was very satisfied. In the end, it was still the same as before, letting Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu lead their respective departments and act together.

Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu remembered what Ah Fu said, they didn't dare to stay long after receiving the task, so they went back to make preparations.

As soon as they left, Ah Fu quickly persuaded Yuan Keli to rest.In fact, he didn't need to say that the energy just now was almost exhausted. After Yuan Keli ordered the commander of the standard battalion to patrol the camp for him, he fell into a deep sleep.

Even so, from time to time in a dream, wake up due to coughing.But Yuan Keli was willing, the final battle was about to begin, he had done a good job ahead, the next few days were the most critical, he must do well, Yuan Keli thought to himself.

In a corner of the car, there was a blood-stained handkerchief, and no one knew about it. This was why Yuan Keli didn't allow anyone to serve him in the car.

He's just begging God now to keep him going till the end of the war.
