Chapter 10 Lin Kejia Returns to the Ming
Liu Yingnan saw that Zhu Dashan didn't say anything, and it was not easy to ask. Then he said: "Since the general needs it now, then let's go with the general!" Zhu Dashan didn't want to say any more, so he wanted to go out. Just now, he only cared about talking, and he didn't ask anyone to untie Liu Yingnan. This turned around and found that he was busy asking someone to untie it.
Zhu Dashan took Liu Yingnan out and found that Gou Xingwang had already assembled the team. Zhu Dashan left ten people to guard Hexi Pass, and instructed Liu Yingnan to catch those who were going to go to the whistleblower. Then he set off with the team to Nanjin Pass.
From Hexi Pass to Nanjin Pass, the Jialing River must be crossed, and Zhu Dashan and others go out of Hexi Pass to the west. By the time the army crossed the Jialing River, it was already the fourth watch, and it would be dawn in one hour. Zhu Dashan didn't listen to the urging of the army to hurry, but the army had been rushing for more than five hours in a row, and everyone was very tired. Seeing this, Gou Xingwang was afraid that even if he arrived at Baoning Mansion, he would not have the strength to attack the city, so he persuaded Zhu Dashan to let everyone rest. Zhu Dashan said: "Now there is a possibility that the news will leak everywhere, and when the Baoning Mansion is prepared, the five hundred people of the Fuming Battalion will definitely not be defeated." And it will be wiped out, and now it is like an arrow that shoots out, and there is no reason to turn back. We can only take Nanjin Pass in one go, and then take advantage of the failure of Boryeong Mansion to seize Boryeong, which is our only way to survive. ”
Liu Yingnan, who was on the side, also said: "What General Zhu said is reasonable, if you have few soldiers, you will win by surprise, otherwise you will kill yourself." Now the only way to survive is to take Boryeong. After hearing this, Gou Xingwang didn't say anything anymore, and turned his head to appease the army.
After Gou Xingwang informed him that he could only survive by laying down Baoning, otherwise he would be a dead end, everyone really cheered up and hurried away.
When he was in a hurry, Zhu Dashan asked Liu Yingnan to explain the city defense of Baoning in detail. Liu Yingnan didn't hide his selfishness, and told everything he knew. Said: "Baoning City itself is surrounded by water on three sides, only the north gate connects to the land, and the other gates are all Jialing River as soon as they come out. However, only the south gate has a bridge to communicate with the opposite side, so Boryeong Castle does not have a moat. But the Jialing River is a ready-made good river, and it is living water. Better than an artificial moat. Therefore, the important thing in Boryeong City is the north and south gates, and the east and west gates are not guarded by many people. One mile out of the south gate is the Nanjin Pass, and there are one hundred and fifty people guarding the pass. Nanjin Pass almost served as the guard function of the south gate of Boryeong City, and the wall was more than two battles high. Therefore, it will definitely not be able to take it by sneak attack, and even if it is taken, it will definitely alarm the guards of Boryeong. ”
Zhu Dashan heard that Nanjin Pass was only one mile away from the south gate of Boryeong City, and the wall was more than two battles high. Then he said: "In this case, if there is a war in Nanjin Pass, Baoning City will know about it immediately, and it will soon be able to send reinforcements to support?" Liu Yingnan nodded and said: "Yes, so if you want to attack Baoning Mansion, Nanjin Pass must be quickly resolved, and you can't let Baoning City know." Zhu Dashan sighed: "Now that Liu Zongqi is here, I'm afraid it is not difficult." No wonder Liu Zongqi said to give me a big gift. But this gift is big. ”
Liu Yingnan smiled and didn't answer, and walked for another half an hour. Zhu Dashan finally came to Nanjin Pass with the Restoration Camp.
Liu Yingnan said: "The general is waiting in front of the pass, I will go to persuade Lin Kejia to switch and dedicate the city" After speaking, he turned around and went to call the pass. Zhu Dashan stopped Liu Yingnan and said, "I'll go with Liu Zongqi." Liu Yingnan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The general will go with me alone, and I am not afraid that I will trick the general into entering the customs, and then sacrifice it to the Tartars." Zhu Dashan opened his mouth and laughed loudly: "With Liu Zongqi's Tartar, even if I sacrifice it to the Tartar, I have no regrets." Gou Xingwang first heard that Zhu Dashan was going to enter the customs with Liu Yingnan, and thought that he would bring the previous twenty people. Now that I have listened to the dialogue between Liu Yingnan and Zhu Dashan, I know that Zhu Dashan has made up his mind. is anxious and can persuade again, and he is anxious to grasp the braids. When Liu Yingnan heard Zhu Dashan's words, he was a little moved in his heart, he hadn't heard such generous words for many years.
Zhu Dashan also had his own considerations, and when he sneaked into Hexiguan, he wore the armor of the Zhenghuang Flag. And the person who was detained to report the news was also found in Hexiguan, and the state that Liu Yingnan showed when he was arrested in Hexiguan did not look like a fake. Even if Gao Minzhan knew that he was rebelling in the south in Boryeong, he set a trap to trap himself. He didn't know that he would take down the Qincha, if Gao Minzhan knew that he had captured the Qincha and killed the Manchurians of Zhenghuangqi, he could still set a trap so calmly and wait for him to drill. It is estimated that the Manchurian masters on his head can tear him off and eat him bit by bit.
Zhu Dashan basically believes that Liu Yingnan really wants to help him, and Liu Yingnan's explanation along the way has helped Zhu Dashan a lot. Zhu Dashan also agrees with Liu Yingnan's ability very much, so he wants to recruit Liu Yingnan into the Restoration Camp, which can also make Liu Yingnan return to his heart. Besides, Zhu Dashan didn't plan to go in directly after entering the customs, and then he directly approached the gate of the wall, and jumped off the wall as soon as there was any change. A total of two battles high walls, that is, about seven meters in later generations, are all dirt under the gate, and it is not necessarily necessary to die. Gou Xingwang is under the gate, and if he can grab himself and then go directly to the south, there will be a glimmer of life.
Zhu Dashan saw that Liu Yingnan really showed a moved look when he heard his words, and without saying much, he pulled Liu Yingnan and walked towards Nanjin Pass.
When Zhu Dashan and Liu Yingnan arrived at the gate, they heard someone shouting on the wall: "Someone, stop." If you go any further, you'll be shooting. Zhu Dashan thought to himself, Nanjin Pass is really well defended, it is almost dawn, and the patrol is continuous. It seems that this Lin Ke can lead one hundred and fifty people with the general flag, and it seems that it is not without reason. Like Liu Yingnan, who is drunk every day in the gate, no one will treat him.
Liu Yingnan replied: "Lao Tzu and Liu Yingnan of Xiguan, there is something important to find Lin Kejia, it is a matter of life, quickly open the door and let Lao Tzu in" The people who closed it heard that it was Liu Yingnan of Hexiguan and put their minds at ease, which was not far from Xiguan and Nanjin Pass. In addition, the two have a good relationship and often come and go. The guards on the gate were familiar with both of them, and when they saw that there were only two people under the gate, they did not suspect him. Hurriedly said to Guanxia: "Yo, it turned out to be Liu Tou from Hexiguan, you wait and I'll open the door for you." ”
Zhu Dashan and Liu Yingnan waited for another quarter of an hour under the gate, and saw that the gate was slowly opened. Because it was the second half of the night, the door was closed and only a gap was opened for people to pass. A head stretched out from the gap and shouted to Liu Yingnan: "Liu Tou, come in!" A brother went to the head of the forest. Liu Yingnan took Zhu Dashan into Nanjin Pass through the crack in the door. When he entered the door, the guard who opened the door saw that Zhu Dashan was a little angry, so he said, "When did Liu Tou bring a newcomer?" Liu Yingnan scolded with a smile: "Get out, when will it be your turn to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs." The guard, whose name was He Gou'er, stopped talking, closed the door, and went on patrol again.
Waiting for He Gou'er to walk away, Liu Yingnan said: "This person is Lin Kejia's henchman, and he is alert. So he knows a lot of things about Lin Kejia. Zhu Dashan nodded in approval.
Nanjin Pass is not big, and Zhu Dashan and the two didn't walk a few steps to Lin Kejia's place. Seeing this, Zhu Dashan thought in his heart: "If Lin Kejia and Liu Yingnan join forces to deal with me in this way, then Lao Tzu will not have to come." Although Zhu Dashan was worried, he couldn't retreat at this time, so he had to follow Liu Yingnan hard. If there is really any situation, it is better to pull a cushion.
At this time, Lin Kejia's room was already lit up. Liu Yingnan directly pushed the door in, and Zhu Dashan also followed. Lin Kejia saw that it was Liu Yingnan who came in, and said, "You don't drink in your Hexiguan so late, what are you doing here?" As soon as he said a word, Zhu Dashan, who followed behind, saw that Zhu Dashan was wearing the armor of the yellow flag. He had already sat down, but he hurriedly stood up and said, "I wonder what kind of business this general has to go to Nanjin Pass late at night?" ”
Liu Yingnan knew that Lin Kejia also misunderstood that Zhu Dashan was a Manchurian soldier with the Yellow Banner, so he hurriedly said: "Sit down first, you have no one else!" Although Lin Kejia was puzzled, he still sat down and said, "Where are there other people at this time now, this is me." ”
Liu Yingnan pointed at Zhu Dashan and said, "This is General Zhu, the commander of the Ming Restoration Battalion. Liu Yingnan had just gotten up, Lin Kejia stood up several times, stared at Liu Yingnan and said: "You are crazy, you have been excluded from the city now, Gao Minzhan is always on guard against us, and you dare to contact the people of Daming." You're looking for death, take it away quickly, and don't contact you in the future. Zhu Dashan saw that Lin Kejia just asked Liu Yingnan to take him away, and then don't contact him. Instead of directly grabbing it and sending it to the Qing soldiers, Lin Kejia still turned to Daming in his heart.
Zhu Dashan didn't wait for Liu Yingnan to answer: "I won't leave, I still want to take Baoning with Lin Zongqi!" When Lin Kejia heard Zhu Dashan's words, he was shocked and said, "How many soldiers and horses does the general have?" Dare to take Boring. Zhu Dashan said: "Originally, there were only five hundred, but now there are six hundred and fifty people." There are also fifty people from Liu Zongqi, a total of seven hundred. Lin Kejia first heard that Zhu Dashan was going to attack Baoning, and thought that Zhu Dashan had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was wondering why he arrived at Baoning City without any rumors. Now Zhu Dashan said, okay! This mere 500 people dared to come to fight Baoning, either the fool was talking in his dreams or this person was a madman.
Lin Kejia shook his head again and again and said to Liu Yingnan: "You are drunk in Hexiguan and run to me to sow drunkenness, I don't know where to find such a person to be crazy with you." Come back to your Hexi Pass! It's almost dawn, and it's hard for me to be discovered. Liu Yingnan saw that Lin Kejia didn't believe it, so he said, "You think I'm joking with you?" I was helped by them in Hexiguan. I heard that they had a way to take down Boryeong City, so I wanted to help them. In the nine years we have been in the nest, there is no hope. I don't know if I will live tomorrow today, and they want to gamble. Let's just give them a convenience, even if we die tomorrow, this will be more comfortable, isn't it? ”
When Lin Kejia saw Liu Yingnan say this, he also fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "There are still too few people, and now there are 2,000 people in the standard camp in Baoning City, and there are hundreds of prefects. It's not that I won't help you, it's that I really don't have any certainty that I can take down Boryeong. While no one knows now, let's get out of here! ”
Zhu Dashan saw that Lin Kejia still disagreed, and said hurriedly: "Even if we leave now, I'm afraid that Gao Minzhan will know about it tomorrow, and Lin Zongqi will still not be able to get out of it at that time." Lin Kejia said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will handle it myself." Zhu Dashan said again: "You always say it's impossible, how can you know that it's impossible if you don't try it?" Besides, since I dare to come to fight Boryeong City, there is a reason why I dare to come. ”
Lin Kejia heard Zhu Dashan say that he was sure of attacking Baoning City, but he was a little interested. Although Liu Yingnan said that he wanted to help Zhu Dashan, he actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, and now he wants to hear it. Zhu Dashan saw that the two were curious, and saw that Lin Kejia had not been able to decide to help him. Then he said: "You have also seen that I am wearing armor full of eight flags and yellow flags. Liu Yingnan and the others nodded to indicate that they knew. Zhu Dashan continued: "These armors came from the Qincha team a few days ago, and we took them all down in the southern county. Although Liu Yingnan had already guessed, he was still shocked when he heard Zhu Dashan say it himself. Lin Kejia almost fell off the stool. "All? You mean all? That's a hundred Manchurian cavalry with a yellow flag. ”
Zhu Dashan nodded and said, "It's all, of course we didn't defeat them head-on" Liu Yingnan and Lin Kejia relieved. Zhu Dashan said again: "But we have these 100 pairs of armor of the Zhenghuang Banner, and the three Qincha of the Tartars who were captured alive. ”
This is Lin Kejia continued: "So you want to use these armors and Qin to cheat the city?" Zhu Dashan said: "Yes and impossible, and if Gao Minzhan hears that Qin Cha is in Sichuan, will he come to check it out in person?" Liu Yingnan also said: "Then you can take advantage of this opportunity to kill Gao Minzhan with one blow, and then Baoning will be leaderless and seize Baoning." Zhu Dashan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right." ”
Liu Yingnan looked at Lin Kejia and said, "Brother Lin, in this case, you can really take down Baoning." Why not help. Zhu Dashan said: "There is a better condition now." ”
Lin Kejia said: "I'm just switching and letting you go, and Boring won't get my alarm, and he will take it lightly." And they will believe it. Zhu Dashan said: "If you are lucky, Tian Youfeng, the prefect of Baoning, will also come out to check" Zhu Dashan did not continue, but Liu and Lin both knew what he meant.
Lin Kejia looked at the two of them: "It was a last resort to surrender to the Tartars back then, and now how dare you give up with such good conditions." Zhu Dashan was also very happy when he saw that Lin Kejia finally agreed. Lin Kejia said: "You two are waiting for me, I will deal with the affairs of the customs first, and then notify the brigade to enter the customs" Zhu Dashan and Liu Yingnan agreed, and after waiting for about a stick of incense, they saw Lin Kejia come in and said: "You can let the army enter the customs."
Gou Xingwang waited outside the gate for half an hour, and then saw Zhu Dashan come out of the gate, and then he was relieved. Seeing that Zhu Dashan was still with Liu Yingnan and another unknown person next to him, he knew that the matter had been done. Zhu Dashan informed Gou Xingwang and Zhou Dazhu and others who came later to enter the pass, and the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion also entered the pass one after another.
