0808 Tactical Success
Although Liu Pei brought a tent, sleeping in the tent is definitely not as comfortable as in the room. At least the fire in these small cabins is much warmer than in the tent. Moreover, the soldiers also left a big house for Liu Pei.
In the following days, Liu Pei and his men lived a good life. Not only did Liu Pei rob a large amount of food from the Later Jin army, he also got a large flock of sheep! This little life is much better than the other Ming army!
Liu Pei stayed for a few days, and the Lunar New Year was already in a blink of an eye. Liu Pei and his men celebrated a simple New Year in this small village.
This New Year is very simple for them, but it is very luxurious for the local villagers. Not only did the local villagers get food from Liu Pei, but each family also got a large piece of mutton, which took a fat New Year!
However, Liu Pei was not idle either. He had been sending cavalry to investigate the situation. Not long after the Chinese New Year, he received news of the return of the Later Jin army.
As expected, like in history, except for the Zunhua City and Santun Camp that Liu Pei conquered, all the cities conquered by the Later Jin army when they came, and all the cities conquered by the Ming army attacked outside, driving the Later Jin army out of the city. Huang Taiji was furious and took back all these cities, and many people died and injured. Only the people from Zunhua and Santun Camp escaped more thoroughly, and the only ones that fell into Huang Taiji's hands were only two empty cities.
In fact, Liu Pei did play a very critical role! Huang Taiji received a quick horse notice later, saying that a large number of Ming troops were operating on the way back. His subordinates intercepted many Han people who wanted to return to Liaodong, and received news from them that there were at least tens of thousands of troops! This made him hesitate!
Huang Taiji really believed that there were more than 10,000 Ming troops moving behind him because he knew the combat capabilities of the Ming army very well. The number of Ming troops who could take the initiative to attack was definitely not small, otherwise they would not have the courage to attack! So Huang Taiji knew that the retreat was unstable, so he had to start retreating seven or eight days earlier than in history! This caused fewer deaths and injuries to the Ming army and the people in the Jingji area.
At this time, Huang Taiji was still illusory. After he got Zunhua again, he conquered Luanzhou, Yongping and Qian'an, and sent troops to garrison. He intended to occupy it for a long time.
At this time, a large number of Ming troops had already advanced northward. Under pressure, the Later Jin army had to abandon these cities and retreat outside the pass.
Liu Pei found out that the Ming army, who had no desire to fight, just marched behind the Later Jin army, and even had no idea to attack the city. He just waited for the Later Jin army to give up the city and went to accept it. Liu Pei had to sigh that even when the army had no desire to fight, it was really amazing that the Ming Dynasty could support it for more than ten years!
At the same time, the reconnaissance cavalry also brought news to Liu Pei that among the several Ming generals who were advancing towards Luanzhou were Shanxi general Wang Pu.
This Wang Pu is a famous escape general. Wang Pu is the general of Datong, Shanxi. After the Battle of Songjin, the four cities of Songshan, Jinzhou, Tashan and Xingshan were trapped. Zu Dashou surrendered the city, resulting in "the elites of the Nine Passes, all the food and food, and no one can continue to control it, and the temples and society are in ruins!"
At that time, the capital was shaking, and Wang Pu was arrested for "fleeing first". The judicial department held a trial, and the censor Hao Jin said: "The six towns (referring to the fleeing Ma Ke, Li Fuming, Bai Guangen, Wu Sangui, Wang Pu, Tang Tong) were both guilty and were suitable for death (he believed that it could not be killed only by the general,)! Sangui was a general of Liao Zuo, and fled without fighting, so how could he join the admiral instead?"
Chen Xinjia, Minister of War, replied: "I think he (Wu Sangui) has made contributions to guarding Ningyuan, so he can be demoted to the rank of Li Fuming, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong and others and become officials."
In the end, Wang Pu was killed alone and executed on May 19, the 15th year of Chongzhen. To put it bluntly, Wang Pu did not control the army while running away, resulting in his lack of soldiers and no means to challenge the court. Wu Sangui ran away with his troops, so he only killed Wang Pu and Wu Sangui was promoted!
When Liu Pei heard that Wang Pu was heading towards Luanzhou, he turned his eyes and thought about it. He immediately ordered the soldiers to set off and go to Luanzhou to meet and the main force of the Ming army.
When Liu Pei arrived in Luanzhou, there were already Ming troops camping under Luanzhou city. However, they did not surround Luanzhou, as if they were just waiting for the Later Jin army to retreat and take over Luanzhou.
At this time, Liu Pei had to come forward in person. After all, he was just a garrison, and the people in the camp were all with the rank of general, more than a few levels higher than him. So when Liu Pei brought people to the gate of the camp to register, he didn't expect that he would be affected.
What good treatment?
When Liu Pei's registration was passed to the Central Army tent, Wang Puzheng and several generals were discussing military aircraft. He said that they were discussing military aircraft, but in fact, the few people were just kidding. They had no plans to attack Luanzhou at all.
Hearing the registration of the central officer, a general smiled and said, "A Jiaozhou garrison, and a big official from Sesame brought two thousand people. He is really diligent in the affairs of the king!"
After saying this, there was a burst of laughter in the tent! Wang Pu waved his hand casually and said to the central officer: "Just just a guard, just ask them to find a place to camp by themselves. I won't see him today!"
The central officer received the order and came to the camp gate, and his attitude was very arrogant and conveyed Wang Pu's meaning. Liu Pei was too lazy to speak, so he bowed his hands and turned around and left.
To be honest, Liu Pei really didn't bother paying attention to these people, and he was eager to see them, so he would not get angry!
After leaving the Ming army camp, Liu Pei set up a camp not far away and waited for the night to come. After all, some things are only convenient to handle at night.
When it was late at night, the Ming army camp gradually became quiet. Liu Pei guessed that the generals had finished their meals and drinks, and they should have returned to the camp themselves! He then brought the guards to Wang Pu's camp again to ask for Wang Pu.
Soon, the central officer in the daytime appeared at the camp gate again with an impatient look on his face and said, "Didn't the general tell me that you were asked to find a place to camp and will summon you another day. What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Liu Pei took a step forward, stuffed a ingot of silver into the hands of the central officer, and said, "Please inform me of the general again, and said that there is a very urgent military situation in the lower house. Please make sure to meet with me!"
The central officer weighed the silver with his hand, smiled on his face, and said, "Sir, I'm not asleep yet, so I'll give you a face and inform you. But it's not my business if I don't see you!"
Liu Pei bowed and said, "Since that's the case, then it's time to do it."
Chapter completed!
