Chapter 69: Headhunting

In the forest outside Yeh......

This is all forests, basically out of Yehe City is a forest, the entire Yehe East City is on a platform cut by a mountain torrent at the water's edge, only the east can be stationed, so the main force of Jiannu attacking the East City is stationed on the bank of the river along the river valley to the south.

It was too easy for Yang Xin to sneak in.

All he had to do was go down from the west, from the river to the upper reaches of the river, and then into the forest, which would be easier on a dark and rainy night.

The wild boar skin didn't care about this problem either, because it was useless to go out, to the east was the lofty mountains and mountains they controlled, to the west was the army besieging Yehesi City led by Dai Shan and others, to the north was the wild land infested by the savage Jurchens, and to the south from here to Tieling was all under his control. Unless he has the ability to walk through the mountains and forests without taking the road, he will not be able to run out after all, but unfortunately he doesn't know that the one who goes out of the city is a non-human level. Yang Xin's physical fitness is almost the limit of human beings, and he dares to make such a promise to Jin Taiji because he knows that he is like a 100-kilometer marathon runner, and it is not difficult to run to Tieling in more than six hours. In fact, it is easy to let him run thirteen hours and 100 miles, or even twenty-four hours and 160 miles.

The only problem is the cost of shoes.

So he had six pairs of shoes hanging around his waist.

Human endurance far surpasses that of horses, and the world record for women's 24-hour extreme running is 162.9 miles, equivalent to 262 kilometers.

If it's a horse......

What horses are also tired to death.

But Yang Xin was not satisfied with simply sending a letter, he also had to bring some gifts to Xiong Tingbi to stimulate the morale of the Ming army, which is very important, with the current state of the Ming army, it will definitely not work without a little stimulation, so he has to ......

Headhunting.

In Jiannu's barracks, he quietly walked forward.

The darkness and autumn rain were his best cover, and most of the bonfires were extinguished by the rain, except for a few sheltered piles, which were flickering in the darkness to provide a little light, but there were still patrols, carrying torches of pine resin, patrolling the entire barracks in the rain. At this time, Jiannu was absolutely strict in governing the army, burning, killing and looting returned to burning and looting, but the internal military discipline was extremely strict, especially this was personally commanded by wild boar skin, and he did not dare to have any slackness. In the cold autumn rain, those barbarian soldiers in cotton armor kept walking with weapons, but no one saw the enemy who had hidden in the darkness in advance with their night vision and super hearing.

Yang Xin quietly moved forward in the dark, his goal was a big tent in front of him, anyway, he didn't know the generals under the wild boar skin, so he just followed the tent's biggest move.

He arrived as quickly as a ghost.

But outside the tent there were two guarded soldiers, who were supposed to be clothed, standing silently in the rain to guard their master, and not far from them a patrol group walked by, and a bonfire burned under the canopy, illuminating the tent all around.

Yang Xin picked up a stone and threw it out in the dark......

The two coatings turn their heads together.

At this moment, Yang Xin burst out like lightning, and when they heard the sound and turned their heads, Yang Xin had already reached the shadows behind the tent, and one of the wrappers drew his knife and walked vigilantly towards his previous hiding place. Yang Xin, who had made a circle, came behind the bag that remained in place, who was loyally guarding the door, looking at his companion with a knife. Yang Xin suddenly got up, he turned his head like a sharp heart, and Yang Xin's fist landed on his temple with the sound of the wind, enough force to kill a horse, so that the coat even the bones were dented. His companion turned his head, Yang Xin turned around with the dead body, what the wrapper saw was only a familiar back, and he didn't notice anything abnormal, he walked over again with a knife.

Yang Xin carefully held the dead body, always just letting him see the back.

The latter came unsuspectingly.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pat the dead corpse's shoulder, and suddenly a cold light pierced the rain curtain, and the next moment his head fell, but Yang Xin grabbed his dead corpse and slowly leaned the two dead bodies on the tent behind him, while he stood behind the headless corpse. The soldiers patrolling in the distance looked this way, but in the dim light they saw only two figures leaning together, and they did not notice the abnormality, and then walked away.

Yang Xin got into the tent as fast as he could.

Inside was a veteran, about sixty, sleeping soundly.

Yang Xin walked straight over.

He pressed the knife in his hand against the latter's neck, holding the blade of the knife with both hands at the same time......

Then he coughed.

The veteran was extremely alert, and immediately opened his eyes and reached out to touch the knife, but at the same time, Yang Xin pressed hard with both hands, and the latter stared at his face, which was obscuring his vision, and a head rolled silently to the side. Yang Xin casually pulled a piece of cloth, wrapped the human head, and re-emerged from the tent, blending into the darkness as quickly as possible, just as he got into the mountains and forests, the Jiannu military camp was in chaos.

Yang Xin stood in the rain, glanced back with satisfaction, turned around and went into the dense forest.

At dawn he went out of the forest.

He still walked through the steppe outside the mountains and returned the same way, but in fact he encountered the Mongol cavalry who had been blocked out of the mountains in a nearby deserted ancient city. The latter parted after Nanuk went to the city of Yeh, some of them went back to report the news, the other part roamed the area, and a few went to the nearest Zarut and other departments to report the news. Zhong Nen, Ang An and others of the Zalut Department are all nephews of fried flowers, and they are also closely related to the Yehe Department.

The original situation in this area was that the Ming army formed a barrier directly to the Songhua River in the salient and Yehe of Kaiyuan, separating the Mongol tribes in the west and the Jurchen tribes in the east.

The three sides maintain the balance of the situation along this line, and although there are frequent frictions and wars between them, neither of them tries to change the balance. The Ming army had no interest beyond the border walls, the nomadic Mongol herders had no interest in the mountains and forests, and the fishing and hunting Jurchens had no interest in the steppes, they were settlers and not nomads.

But the expansion of wild boar skins is rapidly destroying this balance.

The Mongolian ministries are also very vigilant.

Just like Fried Flower said, the enemy is still familiar with it, they are familiar with the Ming army, they know what the Ming army wants, and they know where the bottom line of the Ming army is. But they were not familiar with the wild boar skin, did not know where his ambitions went, did not know what he would do after becoming the ruler of Liaodong, and even the Yehe tribe was unwilling to accept his rule, let alone the Mongol tribes? Zhong Nen and Ang An had intercepted and killed the envoys sent to the Horqin Department by the wild boar skin many times before, and although Zhong Nen was a good man, he was still very resolute in cutting off the hand of the wild boar skin reaching out to the grassland.

Now they have to make a choice.

If they wanted to maintain the balance of the past, they had to make sure that the barrier from Yehebu to Kaiyuan Iron Ridge continued to exist, or they would have to confront the wild boar skins they were unfamiliar with.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

Yang Xin learned a general idea of the situation from a Mongolian cavalryman who knew Chinese, and then continued to return to the fried flowers.

He simply stopped riding.

In fact, riding a horse is not as fast as he runs, and it is impossible for a single horse to run two hundred miles a day, but he can do it easily, and even only need more than half a day, so that the next day he will run to the fried flowers, who is already gathering troops, and this treacherous and cunning guy has probably expected this result a long time ago. He sent his son to report to Yehebu, and he joined forces to surround Yehebu with wild boar skins, and under the banner that he must have surrounded his son with wild boar skins, and he had to save his son.

It can also fool his herdsmen.

Then he can tell Xiong Tingbi that he sent troops to help, so that Xiong Tingbi has to give him the promised silver, and if he doesn't give it, he will threaten to join the wild boar skin gang.

And the boar skin had to give in to him.

In other words, at least he can blackmail at both ends, and let Jin Taiji be grateful to him.

This is the old fox.

However, here Yang Xin got a bad news, Zai Sai had been defeated by Wild Boar Skin, and after Wild Boar Skin captured Tieling, he raided Zai Sai, Yang Xin underestimated his wisdom, and Wild Boar Skin was not stupid enough to watch Zai Sai watch next to him and not do anything. The unsuspecting Zaisai was defeated and captured, and then the wild boar skin went north to attack Yehebu, but the losses of Zaisai's coalition army were not large, and the raid of the wild boar skin only captured him and his two sons, and the casualties of the real Mongol cavalry were only a few hundred. Then this coalition army composed of more than a dozen Noyan quickly fled from the Tieling area, and after Oba Daiqing arrived, he just gathered these people in the name of fried flowers, and at present this coalition army is still cruising on the periphery of the battlefield, and the coalition army of fried flowers is rushing to meet peace.

They have to figure out how to rescue Zaisa.

These are not something that Yang Xin can manage, and he goes straight to the next stop.

Next stop, Liaoyang.

He ran to Liaoyang in two days, directly showed Xiong Tingbi's token and then entered the city, and went all the way to Xiong Tingbi's official office.

"You came back alive?"

Chen Yujie looked at Yang Xin in horror.

Yang Xin didn't say anything, slapped Jin Taiji's letter in his arms, and then went straight into Xiong Tingbi's living room, where he was drinking, and a group of civil and military officials gathered around the wine table, one by one they were pushing glasses and changing glasses for wine and food. Yang Xin walked over unceremoniously, and in a stunned gaze, he reached out and grabbed a roast suckling pig directly from the table......

"Where did the madman come from!"

A civil servant shouted angrily.

Yang Xin took half a pig's head in one bite as if no one was around, and then put the package wrapped in the human head on the plate.

"Xiong Jingluo, do you know this old guy?"

He said.

Cao Wenzhao in the back immediately brought him a chair, and he sat down unceremoniously, and Lao Cao immediately glanced at Xiong Tingbi, indicating that this guy was not in the right state.

Xiong Tingbi opened the baggage.

This is the late autumn season, especially the deep autumn season in the northeast, even if it is below twenty degrees during the day, the rot is not serious in such temperatures, and the human head can barely be recognized. A military general beside Xiong Tingbi picked up this thing and looked at it, and then he let out an exclamation and looked at Yang Xin in disbelief......

"Who?"

Xiong Tingbi asked.

"Eyidu, the head of the five ministers of the old slave, regards him as the minister of the humerus."

The military general turned his head and said with a solemn face.

Everyone's eyes turned to Yang Xin, and they found that Yang Xin was actually asleep, and he still had half a roast suckling pig in his mouth
