"Why does this official believe you, just rely on you alone, who can prove that you are under the command of General Shang of Dongjiang Town?"

After being secretly taken aback, Wu Sangui soon began to interrogate this person named Yu San.

"There is a letter written by Shang Kexi, the chief soldier, which is stamped with the seal of the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, and I ask the general to look at it."

Since Yu San dared to come to see Wu Sangui in person, he naturally brought something enough to prove his identity, but something like this must have been hidden by Yu San in an extremely hidden place, even if he was captured and searched by Wu Sangui's scouts, the other party couldn't find his proof at night.

After a gesture to open the bound hands, Yu San took out a letter written on brown paper from the side of the leather jacket on his body and handed it to Wu Sangui for study.

Looking at the letter in his hand, in addition to the escapable officialdom greetings, the content of the letter is only the last place where the seal of the general army of Dongjiang Town is engraved with the vermilion seal.

Without looking too closely, Wu Sangui could see that the original owner of this seal should be the one on Shang Kexi, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town.

Each general soldier seal has subtle differences, but the overall style is the same, and Wu Sangui, who is also a general soldier, also has a seal on his body that proves his general soldier, so after seeing the seal at the back of the letter, Wu Sangui originally had a somewhat skeptical look, but he already believed in the identity of the other party.

It's just a pity that in this letter, there is no mention of their cooperation with each other to attack the Jurchens, presumably this Shang Zongbing is a cautious person, and it is normal that such important things will not be written down in black and white.

"Even if you prove your identity, the officer believes that you are a close confidant of the general soldier, but why do you think that the officer will take the risk and cooperate with you in the battle?"

Although Wu Sangui believed Yu San's identity, he was not so willing to say that the other party would jointly attack this retreating Jurchen barbarian.

The combat effectiveness of the Jurchen barbarians in the wilderness has long been known to the Ming soldiers who have been fighting against the enemy in the Liaodong border pass for a long time, and if they want to persuade Wu Sangui to send troops to attack this Jurchen, unless Yu San can come up with a convincing reason and plan, it is impossible for Wu Sangui to take this risk.

"The general is gentle, and listen to his subordinates slowly."

Yu San was confident, and he was not worried at all in the face of Wu Sangui's cautious and rejective attitude.

"Tell me, listen to it."

"This time, the female thief chief stationed in Songshan Pass, the actual main force is mainly the two Jialama of the Zhenglan Banner, and the leader is Ezhen Shuoqin, a total of 3,000 people, and the Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers are supplemented by the four Jiala."

"The remaining army is composed of Han troops and Korean soldiers, with a roughly numbering of more than 38,700 people, and its overall combat strength is not even as good as the 9,000 soldiers of the Jurchen and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry."

Compared with Wu Sangui, they have always been played by the Jurchens, the shallow intelligence system against Manchuria, and the intelligence information collection in Dongjiang Town, which has the full support of Hongtang's foreign guards, is more than a step higher than Wu Sangui.

When Wu Sangui and the others could not confirm which Jurchen Banner Lord the enemy on the opposite side came from, Shang Kexi, who was far away in Dongjiang Town, already knew the general information of this Jurchen army.

Yu San talked eloquently, telling the origin of the scale of the enemy on the opposite side one by one, and even used Hong Tang's unique data comparison to deeply analyze the gap between the opposing army and Wu Sangui's army.

Such detailed and meticulous information is exactly what Wu Sangui's subordinates need most, and it is even more important than the support of tens of thousands of troops, but after carefully recalling the information that Yu Sangui said, as well as the unique comparison of combat power, Wu Sangui suddenly felt a sense of jealousy towards this colleague who was far away in the Dongjiang River.

It's not that Wu Sangui can't tolerate the excellence of others, it's really that while the other party digitizes the strength of the Jurchens, he also compares the strength of their Ningyuan garrison, which almost exposes the problem that the other party knows everything about the situation of the army he leads; On the other hand, Wu Sangui and their side, except for hearing about the existence of the other party from the officialdom and their bosses, and rumors about what the other party has done on the Dongjiang side these days, they don't know anything about the other party's real strength.

"I have 5,000 elite bird-gun soldiers in Dongjiang Town, and another 10,000 infantry can land from the enemy's rear coastline at any time, and attack the general's headquarters in front and back, giving this Jurchen barbarian a surprise!"

"Will the plan be released?"

Since listening to Yu San's detailed information, Wu Sangui has a full understanding of the unknown enemy before, and his previous panic and anxiety about the enemy gradually calmed down, and he began to have a great interest in Dongjiang's gratifying plan.

Taking out a few bamboo tubes hidden outside the classroom, Li Tianyang led a group of little children to the outside of the village. In the old days, there were not many children in the village to have fun, and there were no games, such as boys going up to the trees to dig birds, going to the sea to fish, etc., digging earthworms was completely pediatric for them. In less than half an hour, a group of children dug up a large pile of crooked earthworms, and then counted them one by one and threw them into the bamboo tubes that had been prepared long ago.

This is what Li Tianyang specially asked them to do, in this era, things like mathematics are just obscene tricks in the eyes of literati, and they are not elegant, so in the school, the master will not deliberately teach students to count. Therefore, Li Tianyang teaches everyone some simple mathematical knowledge after class, such as counting, addition and subtraction. This time, let them count the earthworms by themselves, which is to subtly let them learn mathematics, which is really useful in daily life. You can't imagine that most of the villagers in the village don't know how to settle accounts, and they are blinded and deceived by people when it is slightly complicated.
