Yue Xiang's plan was not sophisticated, and it could even be said to be very rough. Small says .. com He knew that with Qinghe's current situation, he didn't have the resources to plan any more complex strategies, and he didn't have this level at the moment.

But he also knows that there are many things in this world that are quite unclear, and many things are planned and prepared very well in advance, but inexplicably when it comes to the implementation stage, such and such problems will arise and eventually lead to failure. On the contrary, the previous strategy that seemed to be leaky from all sides unexpectedly got good luck and smooth sailing, this kind of thing is not unprecedented.

So his only choice this time was to bet on his luck, because he knew that luck is impermanent, and sometimes luck is not on the side of the strong. Judging from his later performance, Nurhachi was an expert in use, and it was difficult for ordinary stratagems to deceive him. If the plan is too well planned, it will arouse his suspicions, so Yue Xiang considers using reverse thinking. He firmly believes in one thing: right and simple.

Moreover, in the current situation, it is much better to have a rough plan than not to have one.

But if this plan is implemented, it will definitely need the cooperation of a general like Zou Chuxian. At present, if you don't leak the bottom to him, you can't convince him. And Zou Chuxian was also waiting for Yue Xiang to let go, because the people outside the city had already withdrawn from the camp in the past few days, and everything was packed, and he was waiting for the order to return to the city.

Both sides have their own needs, but they both hold their mouths open. In the end, Zou Chuxian County could not hold his breath, because the night sentry spies set up outside the Great Wall came back with important military information on June 30, saying that the various departments of Jianzhou had begun to cut down trees on a large scale, and that all the craftsmen in the Han households had been gathered together and isolated from the outside world. Moreover, the western and eastern parts of the Haixi and East China Seas had large-scale transport horse teams assembled in the direction of Jianzhou, transporting all kinds of arrows and grain used by the Jurchens.

Outside the Great Wall is the territory of the Jurchens, and the night sentry spies set up by the Ming army here are simply inefficient compared with the spies deployed by the Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty, and lying about the military situation is almost a necessary means to make a living. But that doesn't mean they're completely useless, and sometimes they happen to be able to get some information. It's just that it's often overlooked in the stories they lie about, but this time this military situation has finally attracted attention.

The Jurchens concentrated on what the craftsmen did, and they certainly did not want them to build houses. Most of them asked them to make some large weapons for war. As a result, on the second day of the seventh month, news came again that the Han craftsmen concentrated in the Jurchens seemed to be making some kind of large wooden planks on a large scale, from one person to covering two or three people at a time, and the boards were covered with cowhides, which seemed to be a kind of super-large shield specially used for attacking fortified positions.

In addition, legend has it that there are large iron arrowheads suitable for bed crossbows and stone bullets for stone throwers are also being made, and the Jurchens are desperately rushing to make weapons to concentrate grain, and almost all of the new weapons manufactured are targeted attack equipment, and their intentions are self-evident.

After receiving the news, Zou Chuxian immediately realized that a great disaster was coming, and now it was almost certain that ninety percent of the Jurchens who made these things were coming for his Qinghe City. So he immediately rushed to Yue Xiang after a little hesitation, at this time he had no choice, it was unrealistic to pray that Nurhachi would go to fight others, and there was no way out at the moment except to unite as one. If you can't say anything, you can only listen to what Yue Xiang's plan is.

In fact, Yue Xiang is also mentally prepared, and there is no way to make a deal with Zou Chuxian. Anyway, if it really starts, who knows what life and death will be? If he loses the battle, it is estimated that the people in the whole city will die and have no place to bury, and if he wins, there will be Yang Hao and the Wei eunuch to deal with Zou Chuxian, and after repeated consideration, he decided to meet Zou Chuxian again.

There is no need to talk about anything else in this meeting, Yue Xiang directly said everything that should be said straight to the point. Hearing this, Zou Chuxian frowned, and his face was blue for a while and white for a while.

"Gao Huai Tibetan gold? This ...... Is this rumor true? Can Nurhachi be fooled? "He has been in Liaodong for decades, and he has naturally heard all kinds of legends about Gaohuai Tibetan gold, but there are many legends in various versions, and it is impossible to tell which one is true. Later, after a long time, no one believed it. Now that I heard that Yue Xiang had mastered the secret of Gao Huai's hidden gold, he was in a daze for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"Naturally, it's true, without this to make an advanced step, how can I climb the big backer of Yang Hao? And the prison soldier Wei Gonggong, do you think he has nothing to do and enjoys Qingfu in the capital, but he came to the wild land of Liaodong to enjoy the mountains and rivers? Don't forget that Gao Huai Tibetan Gold was originally the property of the royal family, but it was not visible. ”

"You mean, Yang Jingluo also knows about this......" Zou Chuxian was already stunned, he realized that he seemed to know something that he shouldn't know, the legend of Gao Huai's hidden gold is the private money of today's son, this kind of incident involving palace secrets Whoever is involved is unlucky, his face changed a few times, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"When you kept asking, I just didn't say it, and I didn't want you to get involved in this matter. It's just that I can't help you today, so I told you the truth. ”

"That brother didn't think that after the fact, we insiders were afraid that we would all be killed by Lord Yang. This battle is won, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death. How good is that? Zou Chuxian was really a little panicked, he didn't expect that there were so many things involved, and it was really too late to regret it at this time.

"That's right, Yang Ho will not let go of anyone in the know." Yue Xiang made a silent gesture as he spoke, holding his breath and carefully perceiving the aura around him, realizing that the Ghost Tiger and the Dark Dragon were not nearby. Only then did he scoop out a piece of paper full of small characters and hand it to Zou Chuxian, Zou Chuxian still knew two words, and after barely reading it, he suddenly gasped and bounced directly from the kang.

"You...... You are! You're crazy......"

Yue Xiang's figure jumped up directly from the kang in a flash, reached out and grabbed Zou Chuxian's shoulder and pressed it down, directly pressing him down again. "Adults are not impatient, do you know what you want to shout?"

Zou Chuxian only felt that the hand on his shoulder weighed a thousand catties, and he couldn't move. But he still lowered his voice and said, "You are ......."

"I know, I'm just looking out for our sake. At this time, only by fighting him and succeeding can he survive. Are you willing to be so squeezed by both ends that you can't finish it? Ants are still greedy, not to mention that we are human. I'm here for the sake of adults and the people of the city, otherwise I'll pat my ass and leave, so why stay and take this risk with you? ”

Zou Chuxian stopped talking, his eyes kept rolling, obviously there was a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. If someone finds out about the murder of Jing Liu, he wants to raid his house and destroy his door, but he himself is not willing to gradually become a fish on someone else's knife board. After all, he has served at the border for so many years, and he has no merit and hard work, and he really doesn't have this consciousness when he dies under the conspiracy of this gang.

"The imperial court has always focused on results, as long as we can kill Nurhachi and defeat the Jurchens, we will be heroes who can turn the tide. Nothing else matters, you know. In the imperial court, what is important is the size of interests, not the right and wrong of justice. Yue Xiang continued to beat the side drum, and he estimated that Zou Chuxian would nod his head.

"Really? If our plan succeeds, will the court really not find out afterwards? Zou Chuxian seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and asked Yue Xiang repeatedly.

"No one is completely sure about this, but I think there is a fifty or sixty percent chance. The point is that the result is the same, it doesn't make a difference. It's better to give it a try. If you want to find a way to survive these days, it's hopeless to fight without tying your head to the waistband of your pants. If you are not ruthless, you can't be a hedgehog, you have to die** upward! Lord Zou, think it out for yourself. ”

“…… Well, I'll trust you today! "Zou Chuxian is a military general in the end, and he is ruthless at the critical moment. Yue Xiang was relieved when he heard this, and finally got the job done. Then I remembered that Zou Chuxian was here to find him, maybe there was something else.

"Your Excellency came to me today, is there anything else?"

"By the way, I almost forgot!" Zou Chuxian patted his head, "There is a military situation from the front, Jianyu is gathering ordnance, grain and grass on a large scale, and may still be secretly building siege weapons, but I am afraid that it is not far from the battle." ”

"What!?" When Zou Chuxian explained the details of the situation, Yue Xiang felt his heart pounding. Nervousness, excitement, fear, anticipation, and other emotions were mixed together, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart. He had long expected that Nurhachi would continue to move westward, and he was indeed waiting for this day. But when the exact news came, he felt that it had come too suddenly.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and what should come will still come......

"Is this true? Don't lie about the reward again. Yue Xiang really didn't dare to be sloppy, he hoped that this news was true, and he also felt that this news was true. But at the same time, I hope that this is fake news.

"No, I think most of the military information sent back from three places at the same time is true."

"Then there is a spectrum, I also think that Jianyu has been honest for more than a month, and he should not be able to bear it. In addition, the envoys of the imperial court went to negotiate, and it happened that Nurhachi saw the reality of the imperial court again. At this time, if you don't take the opportunity to grab as much as you want, when the imperial army gathers, he won't have this opportunity. ”

"Jianyu is good at field cavalry and shooting, if it is an ordinary entry and plunder, those border forts will not be able to stop them at all. Now they are making great shields, which are obviously used to shield the arrows and cannons under the walls of the city; There are also bed crossbows and cannons, which are used against the city walls, I think...... I don't think they're good at it this time......"

Although Zou Chuxian didn't say it explicitly, Yue Xiang also knew that he meant that the Jianzhou soldiers were preparing to attack Qinghe. He forced himself to laugh calmly and said, "Hmph, you really deserve to be a barbarian, and if you don't learn, you don't have knowledge." Field warfare only relies on brute bravery, and when it comes to the art of tackling fortifications, it is to be able to scoop out these old antiques that I don't know what year and month, and I am sneaking around for fear that others will see it. What years are you now? There are still people who use bed crossbows and cannons, can that kind of improvised antique gadget be compared to the fire guns and iron cannons on our city? Can the shield block the bow and arrow, and the bird's gun? Even if you can block the bird's gun, can you block the general's cannon? Nurhachi counted on attacking the city with those broken things, which showed that he didn't know how to siege the city at all, and the barbarians were barbarians. ”

"Even so, the Jianzhou thieves are strong, so it's better to take precautions early." Zou Chuxian is a veteran, so he naturally knows the stakes involved. In a sense, fighting a war in these years relied on a large number of people, and the role of any weapons and tactics was limited, and the result of most battles was that the side with the largest number of people achieved its goal.

"Then the lord will send an order for all the soldiers and horses stationed outside the city to return. However, the original garrison at Yahu Pass could not be withdrawn first. Just leave it as it is. Don't let the Jianzhou side notice anything unusual on our side. ”

"What about you?"

"I have my own arrangements here, in fact, it has already begun, and there should be news back in the next two days." ……

At the same time, on the north bank of the Hunhe River, the Ming army city towered by the Pu River, a tributary of the Hara River section of the Liao River.

Li Liang sat on the roof of a big car, scooping a sword-cut saber in his hand, staring at the refugees and people who were all over the street, and seemed to be a little distracted. And those people also glanced at the convoy around him from time to time, and their eyes showed a look of hunger and thirst. And the team runners and dart masters around him looked vigilant, carrying guys in their hands.

There have been more than one conflict with these refugees, and now at this time, no one can afford to be careless. The slightest mishap can wipe out the entire convoy.

Next to him was a bald man with big ears, with a beard and a gloomy expression.

Some time ago, the Red Banner Army of Jianzhou crossed the Great Wall and wantonly burned and looted on the line from Sancha'er Fort to Songshan in Chaihe. A total of 14 forts in Yanbian of the Great Wall were conquered by the Jianzhou soldiers, and the Jianzhou soldiers implemented the three-light policy, which robbed all of them, and killed all those who dared to resist, and all the houses were burned, and even the city walls were demolished, and the place where they passed was a scorched earth.

Due to the incompetence of the officers and soldiers, the people on the border suffered from it, and tens of thousands of refugees fled to the interior with their families, and the terrible tide of refugees filled the castles in the interior. Shenyang and other big cities were afraid that the Jianzhou soldiers would take advantage of the situation to sneak into the city, and refused to open the city gates, and hundreds of people were stranded in the wilderness, without food and clothing, and starved everywhere. There was even a time when I stood at the top of the city and looked at it, just in the suburbs of the city, there was a large number of refugees sitting or lying down, mourning all over the wilderness, and the scene was unbearable.

Now it is hard to wait for the Jianzhou soldiers to retreat, and some of the refugees who have not died are reluctant to give up the one-third of an acre of land at home, and risk returning to rebuild their homes. Some of them would rather die than go home, and have become homeless beggars who are still stranded inside and outside the cities, and the government is afraid that the homeless people will gather to make trouble.

The planning and layout of the city in Puhe is also built according to the standard layout of the border city of the Ming Dynasty, with three gates in the east, west and south, and the position of the north gate is built to suppress the temple of Guandi in feng shui. The square city has a circumference of more than a kilometer. The east-west and north-south districts are the barracks and the Yamen official office, and the other two districts are civilian areas.

At this time, the Yuejia convoy led by Li Liang was temporarily stationed in an open space under the Northeast Drum Tower. The plan agreed with Yue Xiang had long been unable to be implemented, because they were going to detour on the road from Liaoyang to Shenyang, so they had already heard that the battle had started before they arrived at the place, because they didn't know what Yue Xiang's whereabouts were, everyone had no idea for a while, so they had to stay in this Puhe City. But then there was martial law in the whole territory, and I couldn't go, and the news was cut off, and rumors were flying all over the sky every day. Food was in short supply, and after a period of unspeakable anxiety, he finally heard that the Jurchen soldiers had retreated, so Li Liang sent someone to ride back to Qinghe to report safety.

He wished that this was the end of the matter, but he didn't think it would be that easy. He had already received news from another channel, Yue Xiang had returned to Qinghe safely, and the Jianzhou soldiers seemed to have returned with a complete victory this time, but in fact they went back empty-handed.

It's hard to imagine that guy had such good luck that he was able to escape by thousands of raids.

Can you go back to Qinghe City now? With Yue Xiang's brain, he must have suspected that someone was ventilating the news, and now he went back to the net. With this person's ruthless heart, it is strange that he does not cut himself alive.

"Master Li, the officers and soldiers are here again." The guy next to him whispered. Li Liang looked back, only to see a large group of soldiers and servants armed with sticks and whips and swords hanging from the other side of the street knocking on the gong.

These people were all scared when they faced the Jianzhou soldiers, but now they are fighting bravely to be the first to be ten, and soon these refugees are scattered and fleeing, crying and calling their mothers, like headless flies, running around, some children fell to the ground, screaming and crying for their mothers, and women's cries, and the whole scene was completely chaotic like a bombing camp.

"You Han people are like this, you are an outsider in the civil war, you are like a wolf and a tiger against your own people, but you are helpless against our Jurchen Mongolia. Look at these people, they are all Han Chinese, but they are so vicious. The bald man next to Li Liang whispered with a disdainful sneer.

"Hmph, it's better than falling into the hands of you Jurchens. Could it be that there are still fewer Han Chinese who you have captured to be Aha slaves? Speaking of spicy, you're not qualified to talk about us. Li Liang said neither softly nor hardly.

"Fuck you, the government has issued an order for you to leave the city and go back to your own homes within a time limit, why don't you stay here. The old man doesn't have any extra food to feed you eggs! Fuck off! If you don't get out, you will be caught and thrown into prison! ”

A bandit-like hundred households licked their chests and stomachs, scolding as they walked, and from time to time they shook their hands and whipped at the people around them. Then he went directly to Li Liang and them.

"Alas! Why aren't you guys leaving? Didn't I tell you earlier that I wanted you to make room for you to hurry up!? Have you been in touch with your boss? Lord Qianhu issued a strict order, before noon the day after tomorrow, all outsiders must leave the city, otherwise they will be punished according to the spy, do you understand!? ”

Li Liang was a little anxious, grabbed the sleeves of the hundred households' robes and said in a low voice: "My lord, my boss has made an appointment to let us wait here, and we can't go back without seeing anyone." Besides, my boss is also the general of the Qinghe Army, everyone is a colleague, and please don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, don't be accommodating. ”

The hundred households shook their hands angrily: "I said, why don't you know so much?" I've asked you to stay here for so long, and it's already for the sake of our colleagues. Don't talk nonsense with me, hurry up and pack up and go back to your Qinghe. I think most of your bosses are choking enough, maybe they're already dead outside. Don't delay your work, when the time comes, I will bring the soldiers over to pick up people, and everyone will not look good, I am also a subordinate faction, don't make it difficult for me. After saying that, he walked away.

Li Liang is stupid, now he can't go back to Qinghe at all, maybe it's Yue Xiang who is waiting for him with a knife when he goes back. But he led this large group of people with nowhere to go, and most of them were still kept in the dark.

Did he defect to the Jianzhou Jurchen? But he didn't do anything, and Yue Xiang escaped the round-up of the Jurchens, which means that his task was not completed. Is he still valuable to the Jurchens? I have to go back empty-handed like this, what should the eldest young master do? What do you scoop up yourself for the life of the eldest young master.

He really felt a bit of a run-in.

But there is no endless road, at this time, the henchman he sent to return to Qinghe to report safety came back, and also brought a letter from Yue Xiang, and after he opened the letter and read the contents, he suddenly showed sadness, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"It's really the way to heaven, you can repay your Khan King, what he wanted, he has already delivered it to the door himself." ……
