"That's up to you. But, what's the matter with you running to the north of Sichuan? Do you really think you're an idler?"

"That's right! I'm an idler from Daming."

Chapter 343: Wu Sangui

Wu Sangui has been cautious in the past three years, like walking on thin ice.

He is not happy, at least he is much more uncomfortable than being the commander-in-chief of Daming Shanhaiguan.The title of King Pingxi sounds bluffing, but it is not a fart in the court of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the current Houjin court, there are many princes, and all of them have a higher status than Wu Sangui.Whether it is the prince and grandson of Aixin's family, or King Sanshun who surrendered gold to Wu Sangui in advance, their status is now above Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui's advantage is that he has soldiers in his hands, but now there are many Han princes who have soldiers in their hands, and he is also a junior.

Wu Sangui has learned to endure. Anyway, he is young, and he will kill everyone who stands in front of him.Therefore, since the Battle of Piece of Stone, Wu Sangui almost hid himself.On the one hand, it was Hou Jin who was wary of him, and on the other hand, Wu Sangui himself deliberately did not want to show his head.

Therefore, for the past three years, Wu Sangui has been serving as the captain of the local security brigade, without any outstanding military exploits, and he has not fought any battles.This time, he was still acting as the captain of Azig's transportation team, and he was on the front line.

Wu Sangui led 10 men to guard the Bazhong area. On the one hand, he was preventing the Ming army from attacking Jinbing from Ankang and Dazhou. On the other hand, he was stabilizing the rear and collecting food and grass.

"King Pingxi, recently there is news that the army's No.13 army has been lurking in northern Sichuan. They are our army's old opponent Li Laiheng in southern Shaanxi." Wu Sangui's confidant Ma Bao is reporting military information to Wu Sangui.

"This little Li Laiheng is quite a character. He has been suppressed several times in Shangluo and has not been wiped out. Now he comes here to make trouble?" Wu Sangui now has a beard and looks very dignified, at least somewhat heroic. .

"The stragglers formed by Zhuzi are just stragglers, how can they be compared with my Guanning Army." As Wu Sangui's number one general, Wu Guogui looked down on Yuan Chuang's army at all.

"How's the imitation of the Ming army's new firecracker going?" Wu Sangui had actually been accumulating strength in secret, but he didn't dare to show it openly.

"That new type of firecracker is very easy to make. In the early years, Mr. Bi of the Nanjing Weapons Bureau tried to make it. Now the things used by the Ming army are only more delicate, and the old craftsmen in our army can make them.

It's just that the gunpowder they use is very strange, the color is grayer than black gunpowder, and there is very little smoke after being ignited, how strange! "Wu Sangui's younger brother Wu Sanmei is mainly responsible for these matters.

"If it doesn't work, send someone to bring the gold to Nanjing. You must find the formula. I don't believe that there are still people in Nanjing who don't love gold." Wu Sangui's work is a bit like Wu Xiang's, a typical rich second generation who likes to spend money.

To explain with the famous saying of later generations: a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Wu Sangui also knew that not only he noticed the new firearms of the Ming army, but also Azige, Shang Kexi and others.They also found that the Ming army could gain an advantage in field battles after using these new weapons.

"Prince Pingxi, do you think Azig can win this battle in the middle of Shu?" Liu Maoxia, Wu Sangui's first counselor, looked at Wu Sangui and asked.

This topic is related to themselves. If Houjin wins, according to the plan, Guan Ningjun will start to volunteer. If they don’t make some military exploits, they will not be able to stand in Houjin in the future; The group of people have to consider other ways out, Sichuan can at least allow Daming to survive for a few more years.

"Mr. Liu is worried that Azig will lose?" Wu Sangui guessed Liu Maoxia's thoughts. Since the Battle of Suining, Azig has been weak.Coupled with the vacillation of the Western Army and the difficulty in supplying supplies in northern Sichuan, this battle has begun to show a situation that is unfavorable to the Jinbing.

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, no matter who wins, our Guan Ning army has a way to deal with it." Wu Sangui was calm, without any worries.

"Brother, you mean that brat..." Wu Sanmei blurted out, and Wu Sangui glared at her.

Liu Maoxia understood, there were various reports that a prince of Daming was secretly hidden by Wu Sangui, it must be true.If this is the case, even if Daming wins, Guan Ningjun throws out this prince and continues to play the banner of Kuang Fu Da Ming, and remains invincible.

This is a brilliant move, and Liu Maoxia has to admit that Wu Sangui's scheming is so deep that he is simply No. 1 in ancient and modern times.Of course, in other words, this kind of capriciousness is also No. 1 in ancient and modern times.

"Tomorrow, the king is going to Daluo Town to check the grain and grass reserves. Who would like to go with you?" Wu Sangui didn't want to entangle too much on sensitive topics, so he changed the subject.

"King Pingxi, recently there are rumors that many strangers have come from all over northern Sichuan. You stay in Bazhong, and leave this trivial matter to the bidders. There is no need to trouble you to come forward in person..." Ma Bao hurriedly flattered.

"It's nothing more than Li Laiheng's petty tricks. Am I afraid that he won't succeed?" Wu Sangui looked arrogant.

"It's better to save a lot of money for the prince's daughter." Ma Bao said.

"Then send 1000 people from the king's personal battalion to ambush in the mountains north of Daluo." Don't look at Wu Sangui pretending to look down on Li Laiheng, but in the blink of an eye he mobilized a thousand heavy troops to ambush.This is really a scheming person.

……

However, the Xiong family has no source of information about Guan Ningjun.It is simply impossible to report the latest military situation in a timely manner simply by relying on temporarily collected information.

The Xiong family is a special existence in the Thirteenth Army, belonging to an independent brigade under the Thirteenth Army, but Li Laiheng is not necessarily notified of all its military actions.

This is too difficult for Li Laiheng. To put it bluntly, the Thirteenth Army is actually the nanny of the Xiong family, and they have to complete their own combat missions.If it was a different person to lead the army, it is estimated that he would have resigned from office long ago.

Zhu Youjian rested for half a day under the arrangement of Xiong's family, and began to gather in the middle of the night.As a guerrilla warfare team, it is of course impossible for them to gather teams in broad daylight.

At the beginning, there were only dozens of people starting from this village. After walking for twenty miles slowly, Zhu Youjian found that the team behind him was actually covered in darkness.

Then the faint moonlight, no one lit a torch, all walked silently on the mountain path.

After all, it is a person who has fought guerrillas from the mountains. If he were replaced by a plain army, he might not be able to do this night march, Zhu Youjian sighed.

It was slightly bright, and the troops arrived at the designated location and began to rest on the spot.At this time, everyone has been tired for most of the night. If you fight directly without taking a break, you will suffer a lot in terms of physical strength.Continuous fatigue combat is taboo in army combat.

Zhu Youjian approached Xiong Lijing cheekily and said, "I will protect you when there is a fight."

"You protect yourself first, your sticky beard has fallen off, and the enemy will recognize you later." Xiong Lijing was wearing loose civilian clothes, her face was smeared with pot ashes, and even her hair was rough Very, I thought she was just an ordinary young man.

Zhu Youjian touched it with his hand, and his sticky beard did stick up.He quickly smoothed his beard with drool on his face.It appears that when it comes to makeup, women are naturally crafty.

"Why does it feel a little bit wrong!" Xiong Lijing pushed aside the grass blocking her eyes, and glanced in the direction of Da Luo.

"What's wrong? It's quite quiet." Zhu Youjian held up the binoculars. The town on Da Luo's side was small and quiet, as if everything was peaceful.

"It's because it's too quiet. Think about it, will a prince like Wu Sangui come here and there will be no movement? You bring a lot of people with you when you go out, right?" Xiong Lijing said.

"No! I usually don't like hugging people when I go out. You see, I brought twenty people with me this time." Zhu Youjian stretched out his right hand, looking magnanimous.

"You're a freak. But Wu Sangui doesn't think so. The son of a daughter doesn't sit in the hall. His family tree is great!" Xiong Lijing didn't plan to praise Zhu Youjian.

"Then fight or not?" Zhu Youjian looked at Xiong Lijing, he found that he had lost the temperament of a king, and became a clingy little follower.

"It seems that you are the emperor!" Xiong Lijing looked at Zhu Youjian strangely and said, "We are your soldiers."

"Didn't you say that this battle was not fought for Daming. So it's up to you to decide."

Before Zhu Youjian could wait for Xiong Lijing to answer, a low figure ran over quickly, panting and said, "Quickly withdraw! There is an ambush in the north."

"Humpty, why are you here?" Zhu Youjian was pleasantly surprised to see that the person who came was actually a hunchback.

"It's too late, let's get out!" The hunchback ignored Zhu Youjian's arm and pulled it back.

"Wu Sangui xxx, what a deep-hearted dog."

Chapter 344: Each has a ghost

Daluo Town is also surrounded by hills, with only a few slightly higher peaks in the north.

If the ambush is in the north, it is almost impossible to find the surrounding area.Zhu Youjian they are

"Humpty, how did we get discovered?" After retreating ten miles in one breath, everyone stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not found, but all the fields in the north are deserted, and no one can be seen. It's early in the morning, it's not right."
