Wu Sangui had heard too many rumors about the little eunuch, about being invincible with fists and feet, about taking the lead in killing thieves, and so on.
There are too many rumors and their authenticity is open to question.
Although the little eunuch has not formally learned martial arts skills, he knows he is a strong opponent. Yesterday, the little eunuch said that the invincible attendant was his defeated general. Everyone could see that this was just to put his own face on the line.
Wu Sangui has extremely strong self-confidence in himself. No matter how powerful the little eunuch is, he can be as powerful as he is. His body is not strong enough, his punches are fast and powerful, and his strength is not enough. He will be defeated within twenty moves!
It's a pity that he has never heard the rumors about Zhou Yuji being killed instantly, but even if he heard it, he didn't take it seriously. Zhou Yuji rushed into the formation and was a fierce warrior. His martial arts skills were not high and he was older. He was not like himself at the peak of his physical fitness and strength.
What's more important is that the little eunuch's physical exertion in practicing boxing just now was too great, and his stamina was naturally insufficient.
No matter how you look at it, you have a good chance of winning.
The two of them didn't say much when they got on stage. One deliberately provoked, the other took the initiative to attack in anger, directly confronting each other head-on.
Wu Sangui rushed over and punched him with his fists. He wanted to use his divine power to subdue the little eunuch.
Chang Yu buffered Wu Sangui's attack with a straight kick, and then followed up with a combination of punches, striking as fiercely as the wind and rain.
Wu Sangui leaned over to protect his head and was about to turn sideways to dodge the continuous blows, but suddenly his face was in severe pain, and then he fell down. He was directly knocked out by a heavy knee covered by the little eunuch's combination of punches!
It’s a long story, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a face-to-face encounter. Wu Sangui, the Ningyuan commander with the most powerful martial arts in the Ming army, fell headfirst on the general stand.
Not even three breaths!
It was similar to Zhou Yuji's situation at the time, except that Zhou Yuji was directly locked to the ground by Chang Yu, and Wu Sangui was knocked unconscious. Another embarrassing thing is that Zhou Yuji was in the tower of the south gate of Taiyuan City at that time, and there were only a few bystanders.
In front of us, hundreds of palace battalions and Wu Sangui's soldiers were in full view!
The reason why Wu Sangui was knocked down so quickly was not because Chang Yu was too skilled and Wu Zhong was too good, but because of the same reason, his playing style was different!
Chang Yu's previous life was all about fighting. That kind of systematic and targeted training is definitely not something that martial arts practitioners in this era can adapt to once they get started.
But once you adapt to this style of play and have defenses, the outcome will be a little better. This is why Chang Yu often practiced with Zhou Yuji later, but it became increasingly difficult to knock him down quickly, and he could only rely on ground locks.
.
"General..." Wu Sangui's soldiers finally recovered from their shock and hurried to the point where they threw the platform into chaos.
The little eunuch calmly took the clothes from Tie Zhu and put them on again. Then he walked up to Wu Sangui who fainted, pinched his body and rubbed his temples. After a while, Wu Sangui opened his eyes slightly, with a look of pain on his face.
, seeing Chang Yu in front of him, he looked ashamed.
"Unexpectedly, the governor turned out to be a peerless master! The frog in the well finally showed his shame!"
"It's just a fluke." Chang Yu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face: "General Wu may not know why this governor is favored by the emperor." Seeing Wu Sangui's face showing doubts, he continued: "This governor once defeated the emperor.
No one can beat the city's invincible masters, whether they are the so-called imperial masters, the emperor's twenty-six personal guards, or the masters in the capital camp!"
"The governor is very martial and aggressive, and will fight wherever he goes. But when he hears of a good opponent, he is always eager to find a fight. When he went south to Taiyuan, he swept through all the Xuanda armies without encountering an opponent. He was a fierce general in the bandit camp.
"They who have killed them have abandoned their armor." He stood up and said, "It's so lonely to be invincible."
Ahem, cough, cough, Li Tiezhu and the others behind him couldn't help but sigh to themselves: He's bragging again.
Especially Wuzhong, who had just come over to watch the excitement from the side of the stage, almost couldn't help but want to go up and beat up this pretender several times.
But Wu Sangui believes in it!
With his own bravery, he was beaten down in one confrontation. He is definitely a master. Yesterday, Wuzhong showed off his skills and was shocked that he was invincible. Unexpectedly, the little eunuch was even more awesome!
There is no shame in losing to such a great master!
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere changed drastically. It was as if the tense situation had never happened. The two got on their horses and headed back to the city side by side, laughing and chatting happily all the way, at least on the surface.
The smell of mud and sweat was washed away, and a rich and delicious breakfast was prepared. Wu Sangui was there to accompany him, and no one else was there.
With simple politeness, the two of them sat down and started eating.
Since yesterday afternoon, the two of them have been testing each other's temperament and depth.
Wu Sangui was the most famous among the troops outside Guan. All the troops and horses of Guan Ning obeyed his orders. He was from a family of military generals. He was young and promising, both powerful and influential. He was angry and irritable, and he was sure to retaliate. He could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
The young eunuch is obviously a smiling tiger. He looks cheerful and harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he is as scheming as those old foxes. Needless to say, he is powerful. He just arrived in Ningyuan yesterday and picked out Cao Yong and chopped him up early in the morning.
His methods are sophisticated, and he has already deployed manpower in the city. Jinyiwei or Dongchang Fanzi have been lurking for some time.
Speaking of Jinyiwei, even Wu Sangui couldn't help but tremble.
We must know that his uncle Zu Dashou, although he had great military exploits and defended Jinzhou for the Ming Dynasty, he had made mistakes, such as killing He Kegang, one of the three heroes of Liaodong, when he pretended to surrender to Huang Taiji.
Chongzhen took the overall situation into consideration and did not dare to accuse him, but instead gave him various encouragements. However, Zu Dashou felt guilty. No matter what name the emperor summoned him to the capital, he would make every excuse not to go, and he never left the military camp because he was afraid of being taken away by the Jin Yiwei.
Killed or assassinated.
After Zu Dashou surrendered, Dorgon asked him to write a letter to his nephew Wu Sangui to surrender. Wu Sangui refused, but with Chongzhen's suspicious temperament, how could he not keep an eye on him, so this little eunuch was supervising the army in the morning, but in fact he was monitoring himself.
"Commander Wu, how many troops are in the city at this time?" the young eunuch asked seemingly casually while eating.
When they arrived, Wu Sangui secretly laughed: "Twenty-seven thousand one hundred and forty-seven people" and drew a blackboard to hit the key points: "What the general said is the actual amount!"
The little eunuch said oh and asked again: "Where is the food and grass?"
"Twenty days at most." Wu Sangui frowned.
The little eunuch still had the same expression: "I heard that the court still owes wages. How much does it owe Ning Yuan?"
"More than 194,800 taels"! Wu Sangui stared at the little eunuch: "The last general saw that there are silver cars in the main camp, but there don't seem to be many."
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "There are only 50,000 taels left. What does Mr. Wu think?".
It’s better than nothing, and it’s good news! Wu Sangui forced a smile!
"We heard that the Qing army was invading with 130,000 troops. Ningyuan City's small force was less than 30,000. How could General Wu resist it? How could he encourage the troops this time?"
"The governor has come to supervise the army and take charge of military affairs on the emperor's order. You have to ask the governor about this matter!" Wu Sangui looked at the little eunuch with a sly look and said with a half-smile.
"General Wu is making fun of this governor for this matter." Chang Yu chuckled: "Firstly, I lack experience in marching and fighting, secondly, I am not familiar with the geography outside the Pass, and thirdly, I have never fought against the Qing army, so I don't know the depth."
.
"I have heard for a long time that the governor fought against thieves in Taiyuan, but why are he so humble now? Furthermore, is it possible that the governor has fought against intruders before in Taiyuan and is very experienced?" Wu Sangui refused to give up.
The little eunuch smiled: "General Zhou Yuji is in charge of the gate in Taiyuan alone. This governor is just robbing people of their beauty. The rumors are not credible. Just like before leaving the capital, there were rumors inside and outside the imperial city that this governor was the most handsome man in the world. Now I have met General Wu.
, I wish I could hit him to death, in short, Ningyuan still needs to rely on General Wu to resist the banner!".
