First one, then the second, then the third......

These Han people all ran excitedly to the location of this Ming army, hoping to get the protection of this Ming army, at least to bring them back, and no longer be oppressed by Jianju.

However, before they could get closer, they were stopped by the soldiers on the periphery.

"Stop, what are you going to do?"

"Don't come here, or you'll run into the army and die!"

“……”

When these Han people heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to their senses, and quickly stood up and defended: "This military master, we are not Tartars, we are Han people!" ”

"yes, you can hear it by listening to our accents. We, the money rat tail, were forced to shave by Jianlu, we are not Jianlu! ”

“……”

In fact, when the Ming army saw them being watched and toiling in the fields, they knew that they must be Han Chinese, and most likely, Han Chinese who had been plundered from the Guannei. After all, if the Han people in Liaodong hadn't died, if they hadn't been in the Ming army, they would have almost become Tartar soldiers and wouldn't have worked in the fields.

Therefore, when they heard the justification of these people, they all shouted impatiently: "It doesn't matter who you are, anyone who rushes into the army will be killed on the spot!" ”

"Who knows if there are real Tartars among you, what if you let you go and turn around and kill people?"

"Yes, if I don't kill you and ask for credit, it's already good, get away!"

“……”

To put it simply, it is to let these Han people fend for themselves and not to approach them.

Zu Dashou sat in the middle of the army to rest, turned his head to look this way, just a glance, and then turned back and ignored it!

However, these Han people were already desperate. Now it was hard to see the Ming army suddenly appear near Haizhou, they didn't want to miss this opportunity, so they still refused to leave, and they were still begging there, and even some of them knelt on the ground and begged these Ming troops.

"That general, I'm from the Yonghei Mansion in Guannai, take us back!"

"General, I'm from Jinan Mansion, I'll take us and kowtow to you!"

“……”

These people, seeing the long-lost Ming army at this time, are like grasping the last straw, how can they let go easily.

However, they are already ruined, and they are slaves and maids in Liaodong, and they are the lowest existences, so naturally they will not have any silver or anything valuable. You can't use money to increase your chips, the only thing you can have is kowtow.

Therefore, all of a sudden, these Han people who ran over kowtowed one by one, and even heard the sound of "dong dong". Their foreheads were full of dirt. There were a few of them, and they all bled out. However, even so, they did not stop, hoping that this Ming army general could take them back and get out of the sea of suffering for the sake of them kowtowing like this.

In the ancestral army, most of them were Han people from Liaodong. In fact, they have tried their best to live and die parting, and they are already downplayed. But at this time, seeing the behavior of these Han people, some were silent, and some turned their heads to look at Zu Dashou to see if he would let go.

However, Zu Dashou didn't take a look at this side at all, as if he didn't know what was happening here. As a result, these Ming soldiers had no choice but to continue to stop them, and they should be invisible.

"Report ......" Several people who came at night and galloped over, led by the leader, shouted loudly and told Zu Dashou, "Marshal, there are signs of troop transfer at the head of Haizhou City, and it is likely that Jianyu is going out of the city!" ”

Zu Dashou, who didn't seem to be hearing anything outside the window just now, immediately stood up when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "Pass on the order of the commander, immediately turn back to Tashan!" ”

After saying that, he himself was the first to turn over and get on the horse.

When the other Ming soldiers heard this, they also turned over their horses and prepared to slip away.

Seeing their actions, those Han people couldn't help but despair. Some are still numbly insisting on kowtowing, hoping to let this Ming army see their sincerity; However, most of the people stopped kowtowing, their faces were muddy, full of despair, and they looked at this Ming army in a daze.

It was only at this time that Zu Dashou on horseback seemed to notice these Han people, so he said from afar: "How can this commander bring you to the army to fight?" If you are really sincere, flee back to Ningjin by yourself. Or, you can also flee to Lushun, where there are also imperial troops. ”

When he had said that, he drove his horse and galloped away.

When the soldiers of the Ming army heard Zu Dashou's words, they originally wanted to say, or they could bring one for each person, or they could all be taken away. Anyway, this time out, it's not really a war.

However, Zu Dashou didn't give others a chance at all, and rode away directly after speaking.

When the Ming soldiers saw this, they had no choice but to drive their horses to follow and drove away.

Seeing them go away, some of these Han people kneeling on the ground sighed and stood up helplessly. However, more people knelt there, staring blankly at the back of the Ming army, motionless, and a few of them couldn't hold back tears of despair flowing down their cheeks.

And the few Han people who were still kowtowing seemed to not know that the Ming army had left, and they were still kowtowing there. In fact, a thousand cavalry drove their horses away, and this movement was so great that it was impossible for them not to know it. However, they are still stumbling, but their hearts are desperate.

At this moment, they are abandoned, with no one to call the shots for them, no one to lend a helping hand to them. After Zu Dashou led the army away, the lonely group of people were stuck in the fields, all with numb looks. Not far away, the Jianyu cavalry had already galloped in, and they had no chance to run at all. Once you escape, you will be tortured to death if you are caught!

Such a thing will be somewhat angry for the people of the Hereafter; As an official of the imperial court, how can you ignore the suffering people! However, for Zu Dashou, this kind of thing should not be too normal. In the battle of the Daling River before, when he was surrounded and didn't eat, he even ate human flesh. He Kegang, who also tied up his comrade, and dedicated it to Huang Taiji to show his sincerity in surrendering.

In short, in this world, everything is for the sake of living and living well, which is the principle of Zu Dashou, or a considerable part of people.

At this time, Zu Dashou, there was no psychological burden, galloping back, the purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, and he went back to Tashan directly.

As he expected, this expedition seemed to be going well, and it was okay to join the infantry army, and it was okay to withdraw the army. Seeing that in another day, he would be able to reach Tashan, and Zu Dashou finally relieved the last bit of worry hanging in his heart.

Early the next morning, after Zu Dashou got up, he was burying the pot and cooking, ready to finish eating, but he didn't expect that he would gallop at night without receiving, and told him in a panic: "The big handsome is not good, Tashan is besieged by Jianyu, the specific battle situation is unknown, and the blockade of Jianyu Tanma is powerful." ”

With a "bang", the bowl in Zu Dashou's hand couldn't be pinched and fell to the ground, but he didn't care about the bowl, but stood up at once, looked at the proclamator and asked, "What are you eating, why did Jian Yu suddenly appear?" ”

When he said this, he already understood that the Jianyu besieging Tashan was afraid that he would come from the grassland, so he didn't bump into it. So, he immediately asked: "How many people are there, find out again!" ”

"Yes!" That night did not close immediately in response, and then sped away again.

Looking at the figure that does not close away at night, Zu Dashou is a little irritable, he usually doesn't come out at all, but when he came out like this, how did he encounter such an unlucky thing, Jianyu just came to attack Tashan?

"Big brother, didn't you say that there is a war going on in Lushun, and Jianyu won't make enemies on both sides?" Zu Dacheng's face was not good-looking, so he came over and asked Zu Dashou.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he nodded and said: "As far as Jianyu's belongings are concerned, since he has already started a war in Lushun, it stands to reason that it should be impossible to fight our Ning Jin again!" The previous two letters are not proof ......"

"Big brother, it shouldn't be the Battle of Lushun, it's actually very small, right?" Zu Dacheng guessed.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he frowned and shook his head and said, "No, the governor of Baoding is here, and the scale of the war will definitely not be small." However, why can Jianyu start a war on both sides, and he is not afraid of too much loss of grain and grass? Don't...... Could it be that Jianyu has enough food reserves? ”

"It's impossible, we can probably guess what the grain and grass are in Jianyu." Zu Dacheng denied his brother's opinion and said, "If we weren't sure of this, we wouldn't have come out!" But during this time, I didn't see Jianyu go to the customs to loot, so it stands to reason that there is no new grain and grass......"

Hearing this, Zu Dashou suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and said categorically: "We missed North Korea, and Jianyu must have obtained a lot of food from North Korea, so we are not afraid of a war on both sides." ”

You must know that whether it is the battle of Lushun or the battle on the side of Tashan, it is impossible to get a lot of grain and grass materials after winning. It can be said that the consumption of grain and grass in these two places is certain.

Thinking about it like this, Zu Dashou was very worried, because he felt that since Jianyu came to fight Tashan again, the scale would definitely not be small, and it would be after he was prepared. Tower Hill is in danger!

After getting this conclusion, Zu Dashou couldn't help but panic, and immediately sent out Ye Bu to give a death order, and he must find out the battle situation in Tashan. Then, he was not at ease, and sent out Ye Bu Hui, bypassing Tashan, to Jinzhou for help.

At this time, in Tower Hill, the battle was raging.

The commander of the Jianyu, Zilharang, personally sat in the town, leading Duoduo to besiege Tower Hill. In addition, Azig was sent by him to be stationed on the road to Jinzhou to prevent the news from reaching Jinzhou.

"It's really strange, it's been two days since I fought, and Zu Dashou didn't show up!" Zilharang was fighting outside the city, and said in confusion, "Could it be that he is sick, or that he has been transferred from Tashan by the Ming Kingdom?" ”

When Duoduo on the side heard this, he also frowned and said, "I feel that the defenders in the city this time are much less than the last time I came. It's not good, Zu Dashou is really not in the city. ”

Zilharang nodded when he heard this: "Indeed, I originally thought that this crusade against Tashan was to teach Zu Dashou a hard lesson, so that he could understand that Daqing was not something he could play casually. However, judging from the current battle situation, it is really unexpected to be able to conquer Tower Hill in one day! ”

"It's long overdue!" When Duoduo heard this, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Any enemy, for the Qing Dynasty, should prosper those who obey me and those who oppose me die!" This ancestor Dashou, I have long been displeasing to the eye, this time is just an opportunity, once and for all, once and for all, the Ming army's defense line in Ningjin may be exposed due to the lack of elite troops! ”

When he said this, Zilharang couldn't help but look at him more, but he didn't express any dissatisfaction, but said with a little regret: "It's just this battle, turning back to defeat Tashan, and not being able to capture Zu Dashou, it's a pity after all." ”

While he was saying this, suddenly a horse galloped and told Zilharang that in the rear of the army he had found that the Ming army did not collect at night, and there seemed to be a lot of them.

As soon as he heard this, Duoduo immediately became excited, and immediately said categorically to Zilharang: "There must be a Ming army over there, maybe it's Zu Dashou who led the troops out." Okay, he actually despised me so much, is this the leader of the army coveting Haizhou? ”

Zilharang was a steady man, and he didn't get a conclusion immediately, but immediately asked Tanma a lot of details, and when he learned that the night he encountered from Tanma was well-equipped and indeed the elite of the Ming army, he agreed with Duoduo's statement, and felt that he was right.

They were very excited to come to this conclusion. Usually Zu Dashou hides in the turtle shell, and they can't help him. But now, he actually ran out on his own, and he really deserved to die!

Thinking so, Zilharang immediately sent Duoduo to lead the people and horses of the headquarters, regardless of whether there were really soldiers and horses led by Zu Dashou behind him, so he searched back.

didn't go far, and the horse returned to show that the army was still increasing at night. This made Duoduo as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately ordered his men and horses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and his own cavalry to take the lead in pursuit. The infantry army followed behind, and could not let go of a single Ming soldier.

Not long after, on Zu Dashou's side, the situation of not receiving returns at night became more and more severe, which made Zu Dashou regret it very much, and he shouldn't have come out this time.

However, it is useless to regret at this time, and we must discuss the way to escape immediately.

"Brother, you must not fall into the hands of Jianyu." Zu Dacheng immediately persuaded Zu Dashou to say, "I stay, lead the infantry to block the attack, when I can't stop it, it's a big deal to surrender, if you want to run away, I will be safe, and when I get to Jianyu, I can continue to be an official like a nephew." ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he glanced at Zu Dacheng, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, nodded and said, "Okay, then do it." Remember, don't resist too hard, if there are a lot of casualties, you may be annoyed. ”

"I understand!" Zu Dacheng nodded after hearing this and said, "Big brother, don't worry, you go quickly!" ”

Zu Dashou did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the cavalry to gather, got on the horse, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and explained to Zu Dacheng again: "You can tell them that I have a last resort, the emperor oppresses, trusts the governor to urge, and has no way to come out, and I just came to Haizhou once, and I didn't touch anything in Haizhou." This is my heart, say to Huang Taiji! ”
