"Governor...Governor Wang?" Bakyong was speechless when he saw Wang Yongji.
Although Wang Yongji was stationed in Jizhou, his position was still the Governor-General of Ji and Liao, and in theory he was the superior of Bakyong and Wu Sangui. Bakyong was inevitably a little nervous when he saw his superior.
He was wondering, why was Wang Yongji, the governor of Ji-Liao, coming to Miyun instead of being stationed in Jizhou?
"It's Lieutenant General Buckyong. I hope you are well." Wang Yongji stroked his beard and smiled faintly.
"I hope you are well!" Bakyong didn't dare to say much in front of so many people. After saying a perfunctory sentence, he stood in the corner of the tent.
There is no way, a third-rank lieutenant general is not enough here.
Seeing that everyone was present, Huang Degong coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, in May of the 17th year of our dynasty, the Jiannu invaded the country again, robbing money and food and slaughtering the people. The government and the people were shocked and uneasy."
"I, Huang Degong, follow the orders of His Majesty and the Ministry of War to fight a decisive battle with the Jiannu inside the pass!"
It’s here as expected!
Buckyon swallowed softly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Wang Yongji nodded solemnly and said nothing.
Gao Di raised his eyelids in surprise, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Huang Degong, Wang Yongji and Bakeyong all have combat soldiers under their command. Regardless of their strength, they are still capable of fighting in the wild.
All his men were defenders. They didn't know how to deploy their troops for defense, nor did they know how to attack. Going to fight in the wild was simply courting death.
Huang Degong took in everyone's performance. He smiled and said, "In this decisive battle, my soldiers will be at the forefront. You just need to cooperate."
Without waiting for anyone to respond, Huang Degong continued, "I will deploy troops next. You must obey my orders, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"All are subject to the orders of Lord Jingnan!" The other three clasped their fists and bowed at the same time.
No matter what plans you have in mind, you cannot show them in front of so many people.
"Okay!" Huang Degong stretched out his hand and spread out the scroll in front of him, and the map of Northern Zhili in the Ming Dynasty came into view.
"Lead your cavalry to Juyong Pass immediately. There is a caravan waiting for you there. Once you arrive, act according to the plan."
"Plan? What plan?" Wang Yongji asked in confusion.
Huang Degong hesitated for a moment and wanted to keep it a secret, but after thinking it over again and again, he decided to tell it.
At this point, he is no longer afraid of leaks.
Speed is of the essence in war. Once Wang Yongji sets out, even if the Jiannu army gets the news, they will not be able to catch up with Wang Yongji.
"The court has prepared some flags of the Jiannu Plain White Banner near Juyongguan. When you arrive, immediately change the flags and disguise yourself as the Plain White Banner of the Jiannu Han Eight Banners and head to Xuanfu."
Wang Yongji frowned and thought for a moment, "A sneak attack on Duoduo?"
"No, Duoduo is not that easy to be fooled. Your mission is to eliminate all the Jiannu scouts in the Yanqing and Longmenwei areas, and then retreat to Juyongguan to join our forces. Remember, you must not clash with the main force of the Jiannu. Once you discover the main force of the enemy, you must retreat to Juyongguan without hesitation!"
"Yes, sir!" Wang Yongji stood up and clasped his hands.
It was not difficult for him to disguise himself as a Han Eight Banners soldier. The only uncertainty was how many scouts he could kill.
"Commander-in-Chief Buck Yong."
"I will be here!"
"Tonight I will switch guard with General Gao. I will let his soldiers stay to defend the camp, and my men will quietly leave and head outside Juyong Pass."
"In order to prevent the Jiannu from taking advantage of the situation and pursuing us, I will lead the cavalry to guard the rear."
Bakeyong did not hesitate at all: "I will obey your orders."
The reason for not hesitating was very simple. If he was really discovered by Dorgon, he could lead the cavalry and get ahead of Huang Degong.
At Huang Degong's signal, Wang Yongji and Bakyong tactfully left the tent.
After the two of them left, Huang Degong looked at Gao Di and said, "General Gao, our troops must change positions tonight under cover of darkness."
"After the change of guard, my troops will go to the outside of Juyong Pass to fight a decisive battle with Duoduo, and your troops will stay to confront Dorgon."
Gao Diyi nodded with an embarrassed look on his face: "This... Lord Jingnan, you have heard that my people are only good at guarding the city from a high position, and are not good at defending the camp."
"If Dorgon finds out and sends his troops to attack, I'm afraid my people won't be able to hold out for long."
"Be more specific." Huang Degong's eyes widened.
Gao Di was a little embarrassed by Huang Degong's look, but he still answered honestly: "One day is the limit."
"That's great! But, General Gao, don't force yourself. If you can defend it, then defend it. If you can't, go back to the city immediately." Huang Degong slapped his thigh fiercely.
Before Gao Di could even begin to shudder, Huang Degong continued, "Tomorrow morning, General Gao will use the method of increasing the number of troops to confuse the Jiannu, and place more flags in the camp."
"Isn't it... a bit deliberate?" Gao Diyi looked puzzled.
If it was the same as usual, Dorgon might not notice anything. But if more stoves and flags were added, it would arouse Dorgon's suspicion.
Huang Degong shook his head and said, "Before I transferred Weng Zhiqi here, he had fought with the Jiannu scouts. This matter cannot be hidden from Dorgon."
"Gaudet obeys!"
As soon as Gao Di walked out of the tent, he was seen by Wang Yongji and Bakeyong who had not walked far.
Bak Yong scratched his head and asked, "What task does Governor Wang think Jingnan Bo assigned to General Gao?"
Wang Yongji shook his head.
"How about we go and ask?" Buck Yong couldn't help but say out of curiosity.
Wang Yongji shook his head again: "No, it can't be done. Asking too much will only arouse suspicion."
"This decisive battle with Duoduo was the idea of His Majesty and the court. Huang Degong is in command. You and I just need to do our part. If we win, it will be your and my contribution. If we lose, Huang Degong will take the blame."
Buckyong's eyes rolled and he asked again, "From what Governor Wang said, is it possible that we will lose this battle?"
Wang Yongji laughed, patted Bakyong on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Do your best and leave it to fate, do your best and let nature take its course."
"Do your best...what did you listen to?" Bakyong was about to repeat it when he realized he had forgotten the words.
He looked at Wang Yongji hurriedly: "Governor Wang, can you say what you just said again?"
Wang Yongji waved his hand and turned away.
Buck Yong was anxious. He took two quick steps and followed him: "It's okay if you don't say it, but you can tell me what that sentence means?"
"Hey? Don't go!"
"Tell me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night!" Bakyong followed Wang Yongji closely, muttering to himself.
Wang Yongji turned around in annoyance and said to the illiterate man in front of him: "What I mean is that whether we can defeat Duoduo in this battle depends on our attitude towards the court and the enemy."
Buck was startled and stopped to stand there, thinking.
Boom!
There was a loud noise in the sky.
