Chapter 71 Rewards
After confirming that the Tartars had retreated, Lu Xiangsheng, who was just about to risk his life to rescue Tushan, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't stand anymore. Even if you are the Minister of the Ministry of War and commanded the world's soldiers and horses, he was just like ordinary soldiers, sitting on the cold the ground.Compared with other people's carnival, he is still a little confused.

If the Tazi's retreat was actually a desperate attempt to get him, and he wanted to relax his vigilance, Lu Xiangsheng felt that it was unlikely.Because of the critical situation just now, there was no need for the Tartars to do this.Withdraw in a hurry, the greatest possibility is to have to go!Could it be... Could it be that his trick of suspicion has worked?

This thought flashed in his mind, but soon, Lu Xiangsheng denied it himself.If his strategy of suspicious soldiers worked, it would not be until now that the Tartars retreated in a hurry.Judging from this situation, it is more likely that there must be something that made Dorgon decide to withdraw his troops immediately, but what exactly is it?Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?

Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Xiangsheng to guess that it was Emperor Chongzhen who found out about his idea through eavesdropping on the seeds, and immediately cooperated with him, which made Dorgon, who was hesitating, make up his mind to withdraw his troops.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while before he could figure it out, so he buried his doubts in his heart. After resting for a while, he stood up and walked towards the bodies of those comrades who died in battle.Now is the chance to sort them out!
In the military tent where Gao Qiqian was, he and Wang Chengen sat facing each other with sad faces.Due to the attrition of those who dared to fight, especially the casualties of more than half of the Tianxiong Army, the advance to Jiazhuang was getting slower and slower. Neither Gao Qiqian nor Wang Chengen could do anything about it.

To be honest, Wang Chengen didn't know much about military affairs before this.In his opinion, the battle between the two armies is more about a comparison of numbers. After all, there are 5 troops here. How can such a large army charge forward no matter what?

But since he came here, he has seen those soldiers who usually boast that they are elite troops and look very powerful. When they encounter the Tartar army, they can't resist for a long time. Some troops even collapse at the first touch. Don't talk about one-on-one, one-on-four, one-on-ten, it's all a problem.War is not a numbers game at all.Including morale, training, command, etc., many things are not as they are usually imagined, nor are they just what they are in the usual way!
Although if Lu Xiangsheng cannot be saved, Wang Chengen does not have much responsibility.But since he came from the capital, he naturally knew how much the emperor expected this.As a servant of the emperor, he naturally thought that it would be best to save Lu Xiangsheng.However, at this time, he actually had no hope for it!

At this time, suddenly some guards rushed into the tent without reporting anything. They looked surprised and reported loudly: "Sir, the Manchu and Qing Tatars have retreated. The Manchu and Qing Tatars have retreated..."

"What?" Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen stood up almost at the same time, with incredible expressions on their faces.

Especially Gao Qiqian, who was the most excited, walked quickly to the front of the guards, and shouted sharply: "Say it again, the Tartars have retreated?"

"Yes, the Tatars in front of us have retreated and are pulling out of camp to retreat north!" the guard quickly replied, pointing outwards with his hand, "Your Excellency, please go and see for yourself!"

Needless to say, it's definitely a must see.

Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen rushed outside the big tent together, climbed up the watchtower, and found that the Tartars in the distance were indeed retreating.Under the cover of cavalry, the army was heading north.Seeing that the entire battalion of Ming army soldiers were cheering happily, Gao Qiqian was only happy for a while, and suddenly he was struck by lightning, his face turned pale, and he stood there stupidly.

And Wang Chengen beside him was ecstatic, but immediately realized that Gao Qiqian's expression was wrong, he couldn't help asking in doubt: "Eunuch Gao, the Tartars have retreated, why are you not happy?"

"Lu... Lu Shangshu is afraid that something is going to happen!" Gao Qiqian said in a daze, "It's over, it's over, it's over!"

Hearing this, Wang Cheng'en was immediately dumbfounded. Thinking about it, he seemed to be the same. The reason why the Manchu Tartars stopped him was to prevent him from saving Lu Xiangsheng.Withdrawing troops now, they must have reached their goals before retreating.

Thinking of it this way, Wang Chengen's joy disappeared instantly.Thinking that the emperor would be very disappointed and furious when he knew that Lu Xiangsheng had died in battle, he immediately became sad.At the same time, he stared at Gao Qiqian, thinking in his heart whether he should be arrested and returned to Beijing now.

The two of them stayed on the watchtower and worried. Even though the generals came to the central military tent to report the good news, they ignored them.

For those generals, at least they didn't escape, and they were trying their best. At least compared to before, this time they really could be counted as trying their best.Even if some of them thought of Lu Xiangsheng being killed, they didn't feel that something was wrong with them.Therefore, each of them is happy.Only Lu Da and Yang Guozhu were as worried as they were, and asked Gao Qiqian to send Yebushou to Jiazhuang to find out.

At this time, there was already a night without closing and galloping in. While driving his horses to run around the camp, he shouted excitedly: "My soldiers have defended Jiazhuang, and Jiazhuang has rescued..."

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian, who was stunned, jumped up suddenly, so much that he almost fell off the watchtower.But he ignored this and quickly checked the situation.

Not long after, he lost his composure and knelt down on the watchtower, thanking God for saving his old life!Then, he immediately ordered the whole army to set off and go to Jiazhuang to join Lu Shangshu.And Wang Chengen was also very happy, and quickly arranged for someone to go back to the capital to announce the good news to the emperor.

When the news spread throughout the army, all the soldiers had a slight change in their mentality that they didn't know about.In the field battle against the extremely powerful Tartars these days, I actually persisted, and in the end, the Tartars retreated, and my side won!
Although there was a gap in the casualty ratio between the two sides, and although the Tartars were still so arrogant, in the hearts of these Ming soldiers, it seemed that they were no longer so fearful.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen had just finished arranging for the refugees and returned to the palace.At this time, he learned the news that Lu Xiangsheng was fine from Wang Chengen's eavesdropping seed, and he couldn't help being very happy.

In fact, he already knew that the false news had been successfully passed to Dorgon through Wu Zhong's eavesdropping seeds.But what the effect was, because Wu Zhong was taken away, he didn't know.Hearing this, he felt relieved.

Now at this time, only he knew what the real reason was for the Manchu and Qing troops to withdraw, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.There is a feeling of being in the midst of strategizing and winning a victory thousands of miles away.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw text displayed in the wiretapping system: he used a trick to get the Manchu army to retreat, thus achieving his goal. This is an experience to become a commander, and he will reward a C-level wiretapping seed.

 Thanks for the reward of Domineering Cangtian 533 Starting Coin, and thank you book friend 20171026092536680 for your reward!
