Section forty-third setback(2/2)
Wu Sanmo, who was sent to investigate, returned to the woods and reported his investigation to Deng Ming.
After going around to the southwest of Jianchang, Deng Ming searched along the road to Dongchuan. After finding out that there was any movement at noon today, they secretly peeked around. After confirming that it was a Qing army, they followed them carefully and followed them to camp.
This was indeed not very prepared for the Qing soldiers. He set up a tent and did not dig trenches or build a wall. But then again, there was no need for them to dig trenches every day to build a wall. They wanted to rush to Jianchang to accept surrender, and there has been no surrender or change of mind in the past year. If Di Sanxi changes his mind, then he will be in Jianchang instead of halfway. If Di Sanxi really wants to do it halfway, their 800 lonely troops who have penetrated deep into the enemy's territory will not be able to stick to it even if they build a wall.
"When the smoke rises, it means that the Tartars are having dinner. That is the time when they are most relaxed," the Ming army gathered together to discuss combat plans: "At that time, officials will also eat in the central tent. If the Tartars kick their central tent before they react, they will have a chance to win."
However, even if there are no solid fortifications, there are sentries standing guard around the tent. If twenty people rush over to the horse, they will definitely alarm the sentries. They must have gathered together before they rushed into the camp. Moreover, Deng Ming and the others did not know which of the tent was the central army tent.
"Okay, I'll go and investigate first. Be careful not to expose yourself." Deng Ming ordered the rest of the people to continue hiding, and took the two guards of the same name to leave the brigade, and walked onto Guandao and drove towards the Qing army camp with dignified expression.
When they were still far from the Qing army camp, Deng Ming and the other two jumped off their horses and walked forward with their horses. Soon they saw the sentries in front of the Qing army camp. As the other party was watching, Deng Ming slowly walked to him.
The Qing army sentry looked over vigilantly, Deng Ming laughed and walked closer to salute: "Below is General Di Jianchang: Di Ming."
While speaking, Deng Ming took off his hat, revealing the bald head and braids on it.
"Wait." One of the two sentries stayed in place and looked at Deng Ming, the other turned around and ran into the camp to report.
After a moment, the sentry came out of the camp and greeted Deng Ming: "Come in, the general wants to see you."
"I'm working hard." Deng Ming, Wu San and Wu San tied their horses to the side of the road, and the sentry was waiting for them to tie the horses.
"Brother." After tied up the horse, Deng Ming did not immediately follow the soldiers leading the way into the camp. Instead, he rubbed his arms for a while, took out a silver ingot and handed it to the sentry who had been monitoring the three of them outside the camp: "A little thought is not worthy of respect."
"This..." The sentry took the silver in surprise. They were just ordinary soldiers. Even if someone gave gifts, they would not give them to them. What's the use of giving them? They couldn't speak in front of the general.
"This was explained by the head of the family in person." Deng Ming said with a smile.
When the sentry heard that it was explained by Jianchang Di Sanxi, he thought about it and accepted it with a smile. He guessed that it might be because the newly surrendered army was guilty, so what if he cares about him? Why don’t you want to take it with money?
When the sentry who went in to report was jealous, Deng Ming walked to him and reached into his arms, took out the same little ingot, and handed it to him: "What does the head of the family mean."
"Thank you, thank you General Di." The sentry hurriedly put it away and looked around. It was very good, no other soldiers paid attention to it.
As he followed the sentry deep into the camp, Deng Ming asked, "The team of guides in front are also in the camp, right?"
Seeing that the sentry looked a little puzzled, Deng Ming also showed some surprise: "Didn't you send a team of guides here earlier? Are they not in the camp?"
"You Jianchang has never sent a guide." The sentry said in confusion.
"There are ten people sent out with us." Deng Ming felt relieved. Although he heard Di Sanxi's guards say in Jianchang that this group of Qing soldiers was from his own, there were indeed no other Jianchang people in the camp now, so he could speak unscrupulously.
"I didn't meet." The sentry shook his head.
"That's probably a mistake."
Deng Ming was walking while paying attention to the situation in the camp. A large number of Qing soldiers were packing their tents, and some were chopping firewood and piled up firewood. It was probably some guys who were preparing to cook.
Following the sentry, he walked to a tent deep in the camp. The sentry spoke a few words to the guards at the door, and then turned around and returned. The guards signaled Deng Ming and the other two to disarm the weapons.
He honestly untied his sword and handed it to the guards, then raised his hands and asked the other party to search. The guards lifted the tent and let Deng Ming go in alone.
After the ceremony, Deng Ming first reported himself to his house, then held Di Sanxi's seal in both hands and respectfully presented it forward: "This is the military seal of the head of the family. The general will probably arrive in Jianchang tomorrow, so he can order the whole city and the entire army with this command."
The guard took the seal from Deng Ming and handed it over to the general sitting on it. General Qing looked at it, took out another letter from Jianchang that Wu Sangui sent to him and checked it. He seemed very intimate when he spoke: "General Di is so polite. I am a guest from afar. How can I take over the master and take over his treasure seal?"
The general waved his hand, and his guards took Di Sanxi's seal back and returned it to Deng Ming: "Take it back, and go back to tell you the head of the family that he will be a minister in the same dynasty in the future."
But Deng Ming refused: "General, my head of the family orders that the villain must hand the seal in the general's hands and lead the way in front of the general's horse. If the general wants to return it, he will arrive in Jianchang tomorrow. Then the general will return it to my head of the family."
Qing General thought about it, since Di Sanxi showed obedience, of course he had to do it thoroughly, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you to do it."
After saying that, he asked someone to come out with a tent to Deng Mingteng, who was the guide for one day.
"There is no need." Deng Ming told the other party that he brought some tents, but before he arrived, there were twenty people in his rank. The people behind him were escorting some of the Laojun's wine and walking slowly. After they brought the wine, they could set up a tent to rest on the Qing army's camp.
"General Di is so polite." The Qing general sighed again and turned to instruct the soldiers to send some meat to Deng Ming and the others for a while.
Deng Ming thanked him again and again, then left the camp, and after talking politely with the two sentries he had just met outside the camp, he took Wu San and Wu San to leave, telling the Qing soldiers how he went to see how the wine he escorted had not arrived yet.
"The Central Army's tent is here." After returning to the hidden place, Deng Ming immediately drew what he saw on the ground and asked his subordinates to come and see: "There is a bonfire here..."
"Just wait for their smoke to rise." After discussing the plan, Deng Ming looked over the Qing army camp.
