Chapter 227: The First News of the Nun
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words, "Rub! He got up from the bed, and then said with a slight trembling body:
"They're finally moving!"
"Xiaobao, order someone to closely monitor the movements of Liaoyang!"
Wei Xiaobao didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly responded: "Obey!" Then he turned around and walked out of Zhu Hao's tent, and this night because of the belated news of Hetuara City, Zhu Hao was so excited that he barely rested.
Zhu Hao expected that when Nurhachi heard about the situation in Hetuara City, he would definitely return to the division immediately, because no commander would be in the mood to attack others when the base camp was threatened.
Although Zhu Hao only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, it is not enough to threaten Hetuara City, but the current situation is that Hetuara City does not know Zhu Hao's reality and reality, and Nurhachi does not know his reality and reality.
In fact, it was indeed as Zhu Hao expected, after Nurhachi heard the news sent by Daishan, he was immediately so angry that he slapped the table, scolded his two sons for being wasted, and then fainted without coming up in one breath.
Nurhachi's fainting was not because the hero of the grassland was too poor to bear, but because he was already sixty-two years old, and his body was not very good.
After Nurhachi woke up in bed under the care of the imperial doctor, he ordered the withdrawal of his troops, and with Nurhachi's order, Houjin's troops began to retreat like a tide.
The Ming army in Liaoyang City, seeing that the city was about to break, did not know what the situation of Nurhachi's move was, so under the constraints of Yuan Yingtai, the economic strategy of Liaodong, the Ming army did not pursue Nurhachi's army, which made the Ming army lose a chance to win.
Although Yuan Yingtai did not pursue Nurhachi, Zhu Hao did not give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs, Zhu Hao passed through the scouts, and already knew that Nurhachi was a three-way retreat, Zhu Hao chose a road close to the coastline, and carried out an ambush, Liaodong is more plain, and there is no too good ambush location, Zhu Hao once again chose the method of attacking Eyidu in the Najie tribe last time.
On a not very wide terrain, dig deep into the horse pit, and then the cavalry is divided into left and right roads, the Chinese army only left a thousand people, Zhu Hao does not know how many people there are in this army, but Zhu Hao knows that the number of this forward force should not be too much, so Zhu Hao is planning to eat the opponent's forward troops, and then quickly withdraw from the battlefield.
However, in this world, not everything will go as you want, Zhu Hao's blocking this time was not successful, because this time Houjin retreated in a hurry, and there was no forward force at all, but the whole army marched rapidly.
When the scout told Zhu Hao the news, Zhu Hao decisively ordered a retreat, and along the coastline, secretly marched, not pursuing speed, only pursuing concealment, and slowly approached the Sanshan Sea.
Zhu Hao's retreat this time was not because he was afraid, but because his goal of going deep into the hinterland of Liaodong had been achieved, so he knew that after he could not stop the retreating troops of Houjin, he naturally would not take any more risks and wander in the hinterland of Liaodong.
Zhu Hao attacked Hetuara City at that time, and it took three days to march, but this retreat took him nearly a week in order to conceal, and most of the time they spent during the day were hidden, and only at night, they would march slowly by the moonlight, so they had more than twice the time.
When Zhu Hao arrived at Sanshan Haikou, looking at Zheng Zhilong's fleet, he really had a feeling of escaping at this moment, Zhu Hao first asked people to contact Zheng Zhilong, and then ordered the soldiers to start boarding the ship.
With everything ready and the fleet slowly sailing in the direction of Weihaiwei, Zhu Hao breathed a long sigh of relief.
After Zheng Zhilong boarded the ship with Zhu Hao, he entered Zhu Hao's cabin, smiled with a sneer, and said in a rather admiring tone:
"Lord Wang, you really opened the eyes of the grass people this time!"
"Lord Wang, do you know that the ten carts of property you brought back are worth more than half a year's worth of goods for the grass people?"
"These are rare things, and a lot of things have no price!"
"Lord Wang, you are developed this time!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zheng Zhilong's envious tone, knowing what he brought back, which made Zheng Zhilong a little tempted, Zhu Hao, who was well versed in the art of the Imperial Majesty, even opened his mouth and said:
"This time the king was able to succeed thanks to your fleet!"
"So be it! This king will give you a thirty percent of these ten carts of property, even if it is your labor fee for this trip! ”
Zheng Zhilong listened to Zhu Hao's words, and his heart was quite moved, but the person in front of him was Zhu Hao, and the lives of his family were still in Zhu Hao's hands, so Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to make a mistake, so he gritted his teeth and refused:
"Your Highness, you personally seized these things!"
"The grass people dare not covet it!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zheng Zhilong's insincere words, and knew that Zheng Zhilong thought that he was testing him, Zhu Hao smiled and said:
"Boss Zheng, you haven't been working with this king for a long time, maybe you don't know much about this king's temper!"
"This king has not tempted you, whether it is a reward for your labor!"
"If the king asks you to take it, you can take it!"
Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhu Hao's serious expression, not like a joke, and said with a smile:
"That grass people, for the brothers on the ship, thank the prince for the reward!"
Zhu Hao nodded with a smile and didn't say anything.
Although Zhu Hao has no concept of these gold, silver and jewelry, but after all, he is the one who exchanged his life for it, and to be honest, Zhu Hao is still a little distressed, but Zhu Hao also understands that if you want to make the horse run fast, you have to give the horse good forage, otherwise the horse will only work and not work.
After Zheng Zhilong left, Wei Xiaobao, who had been beside Zhu Hao, spoke:
"A few days ago, we were all marching in concealment, so the slave didn't tell His Highness something."
"Now that we are on the ship, the minion wants to report to His Highness!"
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words, and didn't know what Wei Xiaobao was talking about, so he asked with a somewhat puzzled expression:
"Oh?"
"What's the matter?"
"Say it!"
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly replied:
"Your Highness, here's the thing, a few days ago, the minions received news from Hetuara City that they had found that nun!"
Zhu Hao didn't react for a while, and said in a somewhat confused tone:
"Nun?"
"What nun?"
Wei Xiaobao saw that his master didn't react for a while, so he hurriedly reminded:
"Your Highness, it's the nun you asked the minions to install the Liaodong intelligence officers and let these people go to find them!"
"Your Highness, do you remember?"
