Chapter 245 Knowing Current Affairs (Revised)
Because Bai Guangen surrendered in time, none of the Shanhaiguan defenders fled. The news that Shanhaiguan fell into Ying Yi's hands was blocked strictly.
Shanhaiguan is a military town, and there is no people living in it, which eliminates most factors that may leak information.
More than 14,000 surrendered troops were detained in the military camp, and there was an elite soldier guarding them, which was foolproof. Wang Yisheng and Bai Guangen came on horseback. After turning over and dismounting, Bai Guangen was beside Wang Yisheng, one step behind, and said respectfully: "There were more than 24,000 people in Shanhaiguan, of which 10,000 were the headquarters of the generals, and 14,000 were Wu Sangui's soldiers. Wu Sangui went to Ningyuan yesterday and took away five thousand people..."
When Ying Yi attacked the troops of Shanhaiguan, there were more than 19,000. Under the swords and weapons, there were about 5,000 people killed, and more than 14,000 were left. There were about 8,000 of these 14,000 people who were left by Bai Guangen's headquarters, and the other 6,000 were Wu Sangui's troops.
This time, the main goal is the 6,000 troops directly under Wu Sangui.
Bai Guangen reached out and pointed out slightly: "General Wang is going first."
When the two of them entered, hundreds of golden armored guards followed behind them. Soon, there was a noise coming, occasionally screaming, and then a head was thrown out of the camp.
It was not until the afternoon when there were more than 200 people piled up outside the camp gate, and the noise in the camp gradually stopped. Soon Wang Yisheng and Bai Guangen walked out of the camp.
Wang Yisheng said: "After the matter, please follow me to see your lord."
Bai Guang's request was unsuccessful, so he immediately bowed and said, "Please, General Wang."
Then he returned to the General's Mansion to meet Ying Yi.
At this time, Ying Yi had already talked with two monks, Zhang Zhenren and Wang Zhenren. When he saw the soldiers coming to report, he called them into the hall.
"But the selection has been completed?"
Wang Yisheng beat his chest and held his fists: "Return to the lord, the selection has been completed. All those who are directly under Wu Sangui are stubborn and unchanging."
Ying Yi nodded: "Okay."
Then he said to Bai Guangen: "Things are urgent. After all, the Eastern Captain Army is here."
Bai Guangen immediately said, "The sin will set off here and go to Qiantunwei."
Ying Yi said: "Okay."
Then he said: "Wang Yisheng, dispatch a hundred families to protect Bai Guangen."
"yes."
"Go." Ying Yi waved his hand and waved his two people away.
Soon after, Wang Yisheng came again and said, "Bai Guangen has already set off."
Ying Yi smiled and said, "Do you think Bai Guangen will be honest?"
Wang Yisheng nodded without hesitation and said, "It is a blessing for him to belong to the lord, how dare he be dishonest?"
Ying Yi laughed and nodded slightly: "Whether he is honest or not, it is actually not a big impact for me. As long as you conquer Shanhaiguan, what can the Tatars be at the verge of being at the verge of? Ningyuan's line of loss or not, whether the Tatars occupy it or not is not difficult for me, but easy or very easy."
Wang Yisheng grinned.
Ying Yi waved his hand and said, "After all, tens of thousands of Liaodong troops are also the most elite in the Ming court. If you choose, you can at least select some soldiers who can use combat formation experience. What you need to do next is to select and eliminate them."
He paused and said, "Three days, I will give you three days. The 14,000 people in detention must be selected. All the elderly and weak will be eliminated, as long as they are young and strong, and then reorganized."
"Here."
Ying Yi said again: "Get some news to Liu Deyi so that he can rest assured. Tell him not to move for the time being, and wait until I clear the Guanning front line."
"Here."
In the next three days, the theme of Shanhaiguan is to select and eliminate.
There were more than 14,000 soldiers, of which more than 5,000 were the soldiers of the Ming army surrendered generals, and only eight or nine thousand were ordinary soldiers.
There was definitely no more family camps in Ying Yi. They were selected, disbanded, and reorganized. As for those surrendered generals, they dared not have any opinions. Even if they had opinions, they could only bury them in their stomachs.
...
Not to mention Shanhaiguan.
Let me talk about Bai Guangen.
Bai Guangen, escorted by a team of golden armored guards, left Shanhaiguan. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the front of Guangning Zhongqian.
As a small military town in Zhongqian, Guangning is extremely well-known. The military town is surrounded by mountains and facing the road, and is far away from the top. If the enemy wants to pass here, they will definitely be hit hard.
There were more than 2,000 troops stationed in Zhongqian, two thousand households, one master and one deputy.
When Bai Guangen arrived at Zhongqiansu, he was already seen by the soldiers on the city tower. He saw a team of elite golden armored soldiers coming, which scared the garrison in Zhongqiansu.
So the alarm bell rang.
When two thousand-household officials rushed to the city tower, Bai Guangen happened to come under the city tower.
"I am Bai Guangen, the garrison of Qianhu, didn't come out to see me quickly!"
Bai Guangen immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly, showing majesticity.
How could the two thousand households on the city tower not recognize Bai Guangen? They urinated down the city tower and went to open the door.
He was still complaining: "The general's servant has changed his clothes again, he is a dog!"
Another Qiango said: "Say less and be careful of being worn with small shoes."
After opening the door, Bai Guangen walked into the garrison with his golden armored guard. Soon after, a noise came from the garrison and finally calmed down.
When Bai Guangen came out, there were ten fewer people in the Golden Armored Guard. However, there were more than 2,000 soldiers in the Guard. However, almost half of them were killed.
For Bai Guangen, he had made up his mind - from the moment Ying Yi fell from the sky, and from when Ying Yi ploughed out a river of blood in front of him with a knife, he accepted his fate.
Not only did he accept his fate, but he was also energetic.
Such a person can have a future, right?
He had no intention at all, because Ying Yi had promised that as long as he did this, his son Bai Liangbi's sin of surrendering to the Tartars could be forgiven.
Since that's the case, what else can't be let go?
The Tartars were powerful, but Bai Guangen knew that Ying Yi was even more powerful. Not only Ying Yi, who was like a god and a demon, but also the incredible army under his command.
Bai Guangen had countless dealings with the Tartars, and he knew how powerful the Tartars were. But he was sure and sure that even the strongest and most elite Tartar soldiers, the so-called white-armored soldiers, were far inferior to those under Ying Yi's army.
To seek profit and avoid harm, human nature is human nature. With such thoughts, Bai Guangen naturally no longer has any entanglement.
What I am thinking about now is how to do what Ying Yi told him well and get Ying Yi's affirmation.
After taking down the Zhongqian Place, Bai Guangen went straight to Qiantun Guard. On the eve of darkness, Qiantun Guard was already in sight.
As for Qiantun Guard, Bai Guangen naturally could not move directly like Zhongqianshe. There were 20,000 soldiers here, and if Ma Ke was killed, he would definitely not be able to suppress it.
Maybe it scattered in a hurry, or maybe it was not something Bai Guangen was willing to see.
