Chapter 436: Yunyang is in crisis

Yunyang Prefecture is located at the northernmost end of Huguang and directly borders Shaanxi.

When Wu Sangui led his troops into Huguang, he was the Yunyang Prefecture that he took the way.

But this time I'm going to get back to my mood again, it's a big difference.

He no longer expects to make great contributions that shock the government and the country, but only hopes to win several cities in Yunyang and find some things to do.

Cao Fengnian is now guarding Yunyang.

This person was not from the Old Shun Army but a regular officer and soldier.

Huguang Governor Du Yingxi sent him to guard Yunyang, and he also had the intention of checking and balancing the generals of the Shun Army.

After all, Li Guo and Gao Yigong led heavy troops to command Jingmen, no one could guarantee that they would willingly work for the court.

What if it’s another Zhang Xianzhong?

You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others.

Governor Du did this just in case.

Of course, Cao Fengnian's own strength is beyond doubt.

It is impossible to stand out among the generals in the late Ming Dynasty.

Cao Fengnian's greatest ability is to suppress bandits.

When the court sent Zuo Liangyu to suppress Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Fengnian was one of the few generals in the Left Army who could defeat him.

Although Zuo Liangyu has fallen, most of his generals have not been affected.

A powerful general like Cao Fengnian is naturally highly valued by the court.

Cao Fengnian is not only good at fighting, but also training troops.

The soldiers he has trained are never afraid to fight.

Whether it is a new recruit or a veteran, they have a spirit of not being afraid of death.

Apart from the Shen Ce Army that Zi personally trained today, Cao Fengnian was not afraid of anyone in terms of combat effectiveness.

But he said that on this day he watched the soldiers practice as usual, and suddenly a personal soldier came to report that he saw the Tatar army rushing towards Yunyang Prefecture.

Cao Fengnian was shocked.

Of course he knew that this army was led by Wu Sangui, who also borrowed from Yunyang Prefecture to Jingzhou.

But he never thought that Wu Sangui would come back.

After all, Yunyang is too poor.

Compared with the wealthy Jingzhou, Yunyang is so poor that it cannot be more poor.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a world of difference.

Even if Wu Sangui wants to fight Qiufeng, he would not choose such a place, right?

"Did you find out clearly? Did the Tartars really come to the capital? Lie about military information is a serious crime!"

Cao Fengnian glared fiercely, almost scaring the personal soldier.

"Cao Junmen, what Bei Zhi said is true. I hope Cao Junmen will be aware of it!"

Cao Fengnian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's no big deal if the Tartars are really here. The Wu thief thought we were a bully, so let him see what a real powerful general is."

Cao Fengnian looked down on Wu Sangui and others very much.

First of all, this person sold his owner to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and was a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, the reason why this person was able to make a fortune was due to the relationship. Wu Sangui's uncle was Zu Dashou, the first person in Liao Town. With this relationship, he also reached the high position of General Shanhaiguan.

A poor family background like Cao Fengnian looks down on a young man like Wu Sangui the most.

Why can you enjoy wealth and prosperity as soon as you are born? Why do I have to work hard step by step? Just because you have a good father?

Cao Fengnian's heart was filled with contempt and disdain for Wu Sangui. He was very eager to find an opportunity to step on Wu Sangui, but now this opportunity was actually delivered to his mouth.

Wouldn't you be sorry for yourself if you didn't take a bite?

Cao Fengnian said coldly: "Send the order to keep the whole city clean. Didn't Wu Sangui want to come and fight Qiufeng? I'll let him hit him and burst into blood!"

Wu Sangui ordered to stop twenty miles away from Yunxian.

Most of the military rations have been consumed, and although they are barely enough, Wu Sangui still decided to order the soldiers to collect grain just in case.

It is a better term to harvest grain, but it is actually to cultivate autumn wind.

The Qing army did not have any psychological pressure on this.

When they were still Guanning Army, they often killed good people and made achievements. Now that they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they are even more unscrupulous and vent all the evils in human nature.

They would snatch all the villagers' food without hesitation, and they didn't care whether these villagers would starve to death because of the food cuts.

Wu Sangui gave all soldiers three days to grab as much food as they could.

Three days later, Wu Sanguihui ordered a general attack on Yunxian County, Yunyang Prefecture, and everything the army went to was razed to the ground.

"Boss, you're going to make an idea. Should we run or stay!"

Li Chen's eyes were red and he said with a little sob.

Li Laoshi sat on the head of the kang and spit out a smoke ring, saying hatefully: "Run? Where to run? Now that the Tartars have surrounded the entire village, they have to search from house to house. Can you run away?"

"What should I do? Are you just waiting for the Tartars to rush into the house and take away all the food?"

Li Chen looked worried, and even his voice became a little sad.

"What should I do? Of course I can't sit still and wait for death. The Tartars came to grab food. If we didn't have food, they would leave naturally."

Li Laoshi took a deep breath and said, "Let's dig a big hole in the yard and bury all the food in it."

"ah!"

Li Chen exclaimed in surprise: "You are so smart, why didn't I expect it?"

"Don't say these useless things, let's dig quickly."

Li Laoshi and Li Chen have a son, but his son is still a student in the imperial examination after being admitted to the scholar. Now he is studying in the provincial school and is naturally not around on weekdays.

Fortunately, Li Laoshi is the best at digging a pit, and it doesn’t matter if his son is not around.

"Hey, hey, that's done!"

Li honestly turned his hand and Li Chen was more of a good move for him.

I saw Li Laoshi sweating profusely for a while and finally dug a deep pit.

"It's enough, this pit is deep enough."

Li Chen said happily as he looked at Shenkeng.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you bring the rice jar here?"

"Okay, I'll go now!"

After saying that, Li Chen turned around and left.

After a while, she returned, and saw her moving the rice jar to the edge of the pit and said, "Original, come here to help."

Li Laoshi didn't dislike it and immediately turned around to help his wife lift the rice jar.

The two of them carried the rice jar together and carried it into the pit, and then covered it with soil.

Li Chen stepped on it and sprinkled a layer of floating soil on it to be satisfied.

"Okay, now it's all right. The Tartars will definitely turn around and leave when they see our house empty."

A stone hanging in Li Chen's heart finally landed on the ground. Now she is in a good mood.

"We don't need to be anxious now. Just wait for the Tartars to come quietly. As long as the Tartars come, they will definitely not have any more ideas."

Li Laoshi nodded and said.
