The letter that Zhu Houzhao completed with Zhang Yuan's help, because there was nowhere to send it, could only be sent to Xie Qian through Jin Gui, and then Xie Qian sent it to Shen Xi, which was the only idea Zhu Houzhao could think of. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But now Tumubao has long been cut off from all contact with the outside world, no one can get out of the Great Wall, even Xie Qian doesn't have the ability to do this, so the matter can only be shelved in the end, and even Jin Gui will not do such a stupid thing to trouble Xie Qian, he is afraid that he will be known to use the prince as a bridge to communicate with the inner court and foreign ministers.

Jin Gui, as a lecturer in the East Palace, does not have the ability to call for wind and rain in the court, and there is a big gap between him and Shen Xi in terms of talent and hard work.

The news of Tumubao has been completely cut off, and the imperial court cannot find out the situation of Shen Xi's department. At this time, Tumubao could only make corresponding judgments on the situation of the Tatar camp through the scouts, and Shen Xi could not determine whether the Tatar soldiers and horses outside the city had withdrawn.

Ah Wulu entered the civil fort at this juncture, which was very incredible in Shen Xi's opinion, and this woman's courage was more outstanding than he imagined.

Shen Xi knew that the main purpose of Awulu entering the city was to spy on the reality of the city, and after he entered the civil fort, Shen Xi made a gesture of greeting, but did not give Awulu the respect that a diplomatic envoy deserved, and just entered the city gate to avoid the eyes and ears of the Tatars, and in the blink of an eye, he ordered his subordinates to detain Awulu and detain him.

“…… Shen Xi, this is the demeanor of your minister of the Heavenly Empire? The two countries are at war without killing the envoys, and you actually treacherously detain the dignified diplomatic envoys, aren't you afraid of angering my people of Dayuan, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses launched an attack on the city, leaving you dead without a place to bury? ”

Ah Wulu couldn't believe his eyes, after Shen Xi welcomed her into the city, he immediately sent someone to send her and her entourage to a closed courtyard to detain, and she could only be in the house for two meals a day and in a thatched house, as if she was treated as a prisoner.

In this case, she scolded in the house every day, even if she couldn't see Shen Xi's people, she scolded very happily, in the eyes of those guards and soldiers, this female tartar was simply crazy.

It's no wonder that everyone thinks so, how idiotic does this woman have to be, so that she will run to the opposite city to die? Now she still dares to scold the commander of the Ming army in the city controlled by the Ming army, is she tired of being crooked?

But there is another person who is even crazier than Ah Wulu, and that is Shen Xi.

Shen Xi actually sent someone next door to the courtyard to quietly record Ah Wulu's daily scolding words, and then sort them out.

Every morning and evening, Shen Xi would look at it, and when he looked at it, he picked up a red pen and sketched a picture, as if he wanted to find clues from it, so as to determine the distribution of soldiers and horses outside the city, as well as the next military plan of the Tatars.

On this day, Zhang Yong happened to come to Shen Xi to discuss things, and when he saw Shen Xi's chatter, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Lord Shen, if you really want to know the situation outside the city through this woman, why don't you torture her, even if she has a hard mouth, she will confide!" ”

"If only it were that easy."

Shen Xi shook his head, "Doesn't Gonggong Zhang know that this woman's true identity is the concubine of Dayan Khan, speaking of which...... Just like my imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, do you think such a person should be guilty? ”

Zhang Yong wanted to say, left and right are just Hu Lu's concubines, what is there to blame? Have you offended fewer people? But when I think about it carefully, I can't help but be stunned:

"Listening to the meaning of the kid surnamed Shen, it doesn't mean that he wants to surrender to the Tatars, or that he wants to keep a backhand, if he really wants to go to the moment when the city is broken, he will be matched by this woman and return to the Tatars, right?"

Zhang Yong's mind is much more complicated than Shen Xi's, his desire to survive is extremely strong, and as a eunuch, he has no bottom line and principles, whether he is fleeing, defeating or surrendering to the enemy, he can accept it, he feels that his life is more important than anything else, and Shen Xi has more things to scruple about, and he can't say that he is acting recklessly according to his own ideas.

Zhang Yong asked tentatively, "Lord Shen, do you want to let ...... Shall we talk to the woman? ”

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Xi looked up at Zhang Yong in surprise and frowned slightly, "I asked Gonggong Zhang to think about the morale of the army to boost the morale of the army before, but now you have eyebrows?" ”

Zhang Yong protested dissatisfiedly: "Lord Shen is a big problem, even if there is a surplus of money and food in the city now, what is the use of giving it to the soldiers?" Now that their lives are almost gone, who cares? On the contrary...... There were some women in the city, who had been ravaged by the Tatars anyway, and now they simply let the soldiers do whatever they wanted...... It should be fine, right? ”

Shen Xi waved his hand and straightened his face: "No!" ”

Zhang Yong sneered: "I know that Lord Shen is not allowed, so Lord Shen himself will talk about it, what else can you do besides this?" If Lord Shen is afraid that those women are my Ming people, he might as well give those Tatar women, even if it is not enough, it is good for the soldiers to watch it and enjoy it, or talk about military merits......"

Shen Xi glared at Zhang Yong, his expression seemed to be smiling: "The woman that Grandpa Zhang said doesn't mean the one who is imprisoned in the courtyard next to the armory in the east of the city and swears, right?" ”

"It's not her...... anyone"

When Zhang Yong said this, he realized that the idea he proposed was simply a bad idea.

Ah Wulu entered the city with a handmaid, but those handmaidens have no appearance at all, even if it is the Tatar female general Huo Aya, who was captured before, she is also a vulgar woman who is more manly than the gentle of her daughter's family, it seems that only Awulu has a little bit of grace, but just a few Awulu, if so many men in the army come......

Zhang Yong felt terrifying when he thought about it.

And if this matter was known to the Tatars outside the city, the Tatars would definitely attack the city with their lives, and completely cut off his way to surrender to the Tatars.

Shen Xi lowered his head again and said, "Father-in-law Zhang must not make such jokes again, it is better to go back and think about what to use to reward the soldiers, Father-in-law Zhang is the overseer of the army, this matter is unshirkable!" ”

Zhang Yong shouted: "Lord Shen, are you embarrassing our family?" This closed civil fort has no reward for women, what else is there to give...... Does it work for silver? Those soldiers are not stupid! ”

Shen Xi is too lazy to argue with Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong is now a broken jar, as a eunuch, he has nothing to worry about, it is a big deal to surrender, he doesn't have so much time to spend with Zhang Yong.

Shen Xi got up and walked out of the gate of the command post, and braved the severe cold to inspect various places inside and outside the city, on the one hand, to check the state of defense and preparation, and on the other hand, to comfort the soldiers.

When Shen Xi went out of the city in the past, he would bring a bunch of personal guards with him, which could not only be used as bodyguards, but also as a herald if he found a problem, but now, he is not so particular, and even when he goes to the trenches outside the city to inspect, he only brings one or two people, and if he encounters any emergency, he will send people away, leaving only one person alone.

When Shen Xi inspected, he never put him on the shelf of a second-class officer, and those big-headed soldiers only knew that their commander was a seventeen-year-old boy at first, but as Shen Xi walked around frequently, he didn't know him for a long time.

Shen Xi himself did not have the slightest concept of dignity and order, and soon mingled with the majority of officers and soldiers, and when it was time to eat, he would sit down with the soldiers to eat together, shouting and asking for warmth, not the kind of simple perfunctory inquiry, but would ask the idea, bringing practical benefits to the officers and soldiers, such as the allocation of drinking water, warm clothes or dry food from the city, and so on.
