Chapter 51: Wu Jia Erlang, unparalleled in filial piety and courage!
In the early morning, the sky brightens.

He rubbed his sore lower back and carefully moved the arms away from his body.

He had some dark circles under his eyes and hadn't been able to sleep well in the past few days.

After all, the news that he was about to cross the sea to fight reached the backyard. The frightened Qiu Niang, along with Liu Rushi and Xue Qing, kept pestering him.

Everyone knew that Marquis Weiyuan had no descendants. In this era, having no descendants was a very important matter.

If a man goes out to fight, it would be a tragedy if something unexpected happened.

Qiu Niang and the others’ idea was simple: to pack in as much as possible before leaving.

Two lines of subtitles floated before my eyes.

'The modification has been completed, and the reward will be issued.'

'Note: 393,300 taels of silver and 274,200 dan of rice were distributed.'

"Is it the reward for Huang Taiji changing the target of attack?" Chen Ran rubbed his face. "After the autumn harvest, there is no shortage of food, and silver is a good thing. Where does this money come from? The losses of the Ming army in history, or the expenses of Huang Taiji's expedition to Dalinghe Fort?"

Chen Ran, who couldn't find the answer, looked out the window at the increasingly bright sky and knew it was time to hit the road. Pfft! It was time to set off.

He got up, packed up and washed up. Xueqing was naturally responsible for cleaning up the chaotic battlefield. He went out to the small kitchen and found some food to fill his stomach.

After leaving the backyard, Chen Ran's spirit suddenly changed.

He is no longer a passionate husband who spends his protein generously, but a strong man who leads thousands of troops to fight.

The personal soldiers had already been dressed in uniform and had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Ran didn't waste any words and simply waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Huang Taiji sent out his troops on July 27th, and Chen Ran received the imperial edict from Emperor Chongzhen urging him to send out troops on August 11th, by which time the autumn harvest had basically been completed.

Gather troops, prepare military supplies, and wait for the fleet.

It was August 16th when Chen Ran and his men boarded the ship.

On this day, Sun Chengzong, who was under tremendous pressure, sent two thousand Songshan defenders to rescue Dalinghhe Fort.

Not surprisingly, the 2,000 reinforcements were defeated in one battle by the Later Jin, and more than half of them were lost.

When Chen Ran arrived at Juehua Island and learned the news, his first reaction was, "The emperor has started the 'machine gun position moved five meters to the left' operation again."

Dalinghhe Fort was surrounded, so Sun Chengzong, as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, naturally had to rescue it.

In fact, he already had corresponding plans before building the fortress.

The problem was that Sun Chengzong's plan was to gather all the reinforcements and then rush to the rescue with lightning speed.

The emperor, who reads war reports and memorials all day long, is an impatient person.

Moreover, there were many people in the court who were unwilling to see Sun Chengzong win this battle, and they used both overt and covert means inside and outside the palace.

The result has now emerged, and the first unlucky guy is Songshan’s 2,000 reinforcements.

The second unlucky guy has already been determined, and they are Wu Xiang and Song Wei.

Here, Chen Ran landed on Juehua Island, and the next day Wu Xiang hurried over from Ningyuan City, twenty miles away.

When they met, they bowed directly, "General, save me~~~"

"No need for that." Looking at the white hair on Wu Xiang's temples, Chen Ran smiled and walked over to help him up. "Sit down first. Bring me some tea."

Wu Sangui and his entourage lined up and stood opposite the generals of Dongjiang Town.

After drinking tea, they started to talk about business.

"General." Wu Xiang looked helpless, and begged with his hands raised, his words were very sincere, "I have been ordered to reinforce Dalinghe Fort, but together with General Song, we only have 6,000 troops. How can we save them?"

"Six thousand?" Chen Ran didn't believe it. "The two generals have allocated 120,000 or 130,000 troops, right?"

After hearing this, everyone from Wu Xiang on down looked unhappy.

Drawing a salary without doing anything is a traditional skill in the Ming army.

Everyone knew it at this time, except the emperor.

In the emperor's view, even if more than 10,000 soldiers could not defeat the Jiannu, they would be enough to contain them and buy time for the defenders in Dalingh Fort.

How could he know that of the more than 10,000 soldiers on paper, there were actually only 6,000.

Among these six thousand, only a thousand or so servants were truly capable of fighting.

This is also the reason why Wu Xiang was impatient, because he knew that going there would mean death.

"This matter." Chen Ran certainly knew the inside story. He said this just to disgust Wu Xiang. After all, he was the father of the King of Pingxi. "It's no use looking for me."

Chen Ran, with a calm expression like a wooden sculpture, picked up the tea bowl and said, "Since it is the order of His Majesty, then why don't we send troops?"

Upon hearing this, the young Wu Sangui's expression changed color.

Wu Xiang, however, seemed not to have heard the sarcasm, and saluted with a sad face, "General, I want to follow you and go to the army together."

"Hey."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ran almost threw the tea bowl in his hand.

Join the Liaozhen troops? Please forgive me.

Others may not know, but Chen Ran knows.

What Liaozhen is best at is not fighting, but moving in front of the enemy to sell out teammates!
Countless elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were defeated by Liaozhen.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Zu Dashou, the man-eating demon king who is trapped in Dalinghhe Fort.

Historically, he was trapped in the fort for several months during this battle. After eating all the civilians, he did not hold on, but killed all his friendly troops and went out to get a haircut.

Go to war with Wu Xiang? Your son, the King of Pingxi, is the best at advancing in front of the enemy in Liaozhen!

"This is not appropriate." Chen Ran refused without hesitation, "I only have a few thousand vanguard troops, and the follow-up troops and supplies have not yet arrived. I cannot send troops out at this time." Wu Xiang was frowning and wanted to pester.

He was sensible and knew that if he wanted to delay the visit, he had to ask Chen Ran for help.

Even if they couldn't delay any longer, they had to follow this invincible commander to ensure their safety.

But Chen Ran was unmoved and ignored her altogether.

After all, he knew the ins and outs of Liaozhen very well, so how could he be a fool?

The dispute lasted for a while and angered King Pingxi.

"Dad!" Seeing his father begging in a low voice, Wu Sangui, with a red face, could not help but jump out and shout, "Let's go by ourselves, why do we have to beg so humbly! I don't believe that the Tartars have three heads and six arms. If the Marshal can win, we can win too!"

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at him sideways.

Wu Xiang was so angry that he was shaking. This idiot was trying to cheat his father.

Chen Ran smiled and said, "See you out."

Just when I was worrying about how to get rid of Wu Xiang's shameless entanglement, Wu Sangui jumped out on his own. That's great, very good.

"You you you~~~" Wu Xiang stamped her feet repeatedly while crossing the sea on a boat. "If you can't speak, don't speak!"

"Dad." The young Wu Sangui was not yet the cunning King of Pingxi who would become decades later. He was very proud. "Chen Ran is nothing special. If he could defeat the Tartars, we can do it too. Don't ask him for anything!"

Wu Xiang was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll prepare a generous gift when I get back, so that they won't bear a grudge against me." Wu Xiang shook his head and sighed, "We'll also need to go through Lord Sun's way and ask him to come forward."

The next day, Chen Ran received a gift from Wu Xiang in his temporary residence on Juehua Island.

'Historical records: Gu Hengbo became famous at a young age, with outstanding talent and beauty, and was known as the 'first in southern opera'. Later, she married Gong Dingzi, a slave of the three surnames, and was named the first-rank lady of the Later Jin Dynasty, but she did not have a good end.'

'You changed Gu Hengbo's fate and gained a point of historical deviation.'

The gift that Wu Xiang sent as an apology was from Gu Hengbo.

He was very good at judging people and knew Chen Ran's preferences, so he specially sent the little girl who stayed in the mansion to sing over.

As for why he came to Wu Xiang's mansion, it was also because Wu Xiang went south to sell goods for Chen Ran and collected them from all over the place.

The original intention was to cultivate it as a gift.

Gu Hengbo was of similar age to Liu Rushi, and his voice was especially melodious when he sang, just like the clear and melodious sound of a yellow oriole.

Of course, Chen Ran kept her not because this beautiful voice had any special uses, but purely because it could change her fate and gain historical deviation value.

Chen Ran did not stay long and quickly sent him to Lushun Fort.

In the battlefront, if a commander keeps a woman by his side, military discipline will immediately collapse as his superiors and subordinates follow suit.

"Zihou."

A few days later, Sun Chengzong, who came from Jinzhou, landed on Juehua Island. "It's great that you can come."

"You are too kind, sir." Chen Ran replied with a smile, "We will naturally come to fight the Tartars."

"Okay, okay." Sun Chengzong looked quite pleased. "If you can come, we can win this battle. Wu Xiang and the others are going to send troops, so let's go together."

"I can't go." Chen Ran refused very straightforwardly. "It's not that I don't want to go, but I only have a few thousand people now, and the follow-up troops and supplies are still at sea. This tactic of refueling again and again is simply giving it away for nothing."

"Ugh!"

Sun Chengzong sighed heavily, "I know that, but there's nothing I can do."

There is indeed no other way. His words are not final in Liaozhen.

There are eunuchs supervising the army here, and there are more than one of them, who send letters to the capital every day.

Moreover, Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, and others also opposed him, trying to seize the dominance of Liaozhen, and insisted on sending reinforcements immediately, as many as possible. They also kept impeaching Sun Chengzong, saying that he did not help the dying.

Sun Chengzong, who was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong for the second time, was under great pressure.

"I can't do anything about this." Chen Ran simply stated, "I will not send troops before the troops and military supplies arrive."

He was not only waiting for the follow-up troops and military supplies, but also waiting for the weather changes. He would send troops when the waves became rough.

That’s right, in the previous subtitle of “Ten Thousands of Ming Army Were Carried Away by the Waves”, he changed the Ming Army into the Tatars.

Sun Chengzong was helpless about this.

He was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, but the imperial court learned from the lesson of Yuan Manzi and kept Dongjiang Town independent.

Chen Ran came to provide assistance this time and is a guest troop, so he can discontinue Sun Chengzong's orders.

In desperation, Sun Chengzong had to come and go in a hurry, and ran to Jinzhou again to urge Wu Xiang, Song Wei and others to send troops to rescue Dalingh Fort.

He didn't want to add fuel to the fire, but the emperor was urging him too eagerly.

The result can be imagined.

The troops of Wu Xiang and Song Wei, who claimed to have 15,000 troops but actually had only 6,000 men, were highly valued by Huang Taiji.

He personally led the reinforcements to fight.

The result was that the Ming army was defeated by the charge of just a few hundred white-armored soldiers.

Even Wu Xiang himself was surrounded and unable to escape.

At the critical moment, Wu Sangui, with twenty servants, broke through the encirclement of the Tartars and rushed into the battle array, successfully rescuing his father.

When the news came out, Liaodong was shocked.

Everyone is saying, "Wu Jia Erlang is a man of unparalleled filial piety and courage!"
