Huang Taiji stood on the gate tower in the south of Liaoyang City, looking at the Ming soldiers who were faintly digging a trench in the distance, his face full of puzzlement.

The Ming army behaved very strangely at this time, a few days ago, they actually built another camp next to the camp in the west of the city, and before it was completed, another fire was burned!

In the past two days, they have stopped shelling, and they have been busy in the camp all day, and they don't know what they are busy with.

Today it is even more strange that they are digging trenches, to be precise, digging the trenches that have just been filled in again.

This Zhang Bin couldn't have been stupid by the eunuch sent by Chongzhen!

He knew that Chongzhen began to suspect Zhang Bin after listening to slander again, and deliberately sent the eunuch Gao Qiqian to Liaodong to investigate, he also knew that this Gao Qiqian had something to do with Xue Guoguan and was the opposite of Zhang Bin.

He could even deduce that after this Gao Qi sneaked over, he would take the opportunity to find fault and clean up Zhang Bin.

However, he didn't understand, what the hell is this Zhang Bin doing, setting fire to his barracks, digging up the trench that has just been filled, it's like his brain is going crazy, what is this guy doing so nonsense?

At this time, Gao Qiqian was full of helplessness, and at this time he was in the south of the city watching Zhang Bin command his soldiers to dig trenches, Zhang Bin seemed to be trying his best to prove in front of him that the Jiannu cavalry had been annihilated by him.

He also thought that Zhang Bin's brain was a little crazy, what is the use of you showing me this, do you really think that I will give you a few good words in front of the emperor, dream about you!

Zhang Bin was still by the side with a smile on his face, as if Gao Qiqian was not an opponent of him, but a good friend.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Ming army dug for a while, and finally dug out a deep ditch about two zhang wide and about ten zhang long, and the corpses of Jiannu and horses had begun to appear in the ditch.

He rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Master Zhang, there's no need for this, don't you believe in the Sprinkle family?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head again and again and said: "This is not good, the first merit of more than 40,000 Jiannu cavalry is more than 4 million taels of silver, and I also want to ask Gonggong Gao to confirm this matter in front of the emperor, and I can't be hasty." Grandpa Gao, otherwise, you go down and take a closer look to see if it is the corpse of the Jiannu cavalry. ”

I want the Sprinkle family to help you ask the emperor for more than 4 million taels of silver, are you in the water!

Gao Qiqian simply said helplessly: "Lord Zhang, the emperor didn't ask the Sprinkle family to come over to accompany you to see this, the Sprinkle family wants to take a walk around, is it okay?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what Grandpa Gao wants to see, I'll accompany you to see it." ”

Gao Qiqian said angrily: "What else can you see if you accompany the Sprinkle family?" Master Zhang, please go back, why should you go? ”

Zhang Bin was not annoyed at all, but pointed to the trench and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to see the corpse of Jiannu, if you don't see it, I will order someone to fill it in." ”

Gao Qiqian snorted coldly: "Don't look at it, hurry up and fill it in." ”

After that, he flicked his sleeves, and took the eunuch to turn the horse's head and go straight to the camp in the south of the city, and no longer bothered Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin looked at Gao Qiqian's back, and couldn't help but show a sneer on his face, hum, play helplessly with me, you should be a great person without eggs.

He stared coldly at Gao Qiqian's back for a while, and then he confessed, asked the soldiers to fill in the trench, and then beat his horse and ran to the camp in the west of the city, and did not pay attention to Gao Qiqian again.

The two parted ways like this, did not see each other again, and after two days of pretending to investigate, they took a horse and returned, ready to go to Da Liaohe Fort to take a boat back to Shanhaiguan.

In fact, he is mainly going through the motions, it is naturally good to be able to catch the handle, and it doesn't matter if he can't catch the handle, because he has already thought of a lot of handles in his mind, and if he didn't catch it, he should have caught it, anyway, Chongzhen listened to his report, not Zhang Bin's, he just talked nonsense, how to drop!

He wanted to play shameless tricks with Zhang Bin, how could Zhang Bin not know that before he arrived at Shanhaiguan, there were rumors flying all over the capital over there.

What eunuchs raised the potential Liaodong as a prestige and asked for bribes from the generals of the Liaodong army.

What Gao Qiqian, the dead eunuch, wanted to frame Zhongliang, pointing to the deer as a horse, and framing Master Zhang, the governor of Jiliao.

Even, some imperial historians have already heard about the rumors and began to impeach Gao Qiqian, and Zhang Bin's annihilation of the Jiannu cavalry was also sent to the capital at this time, which made Chongzhen suspicious again.

Is this high diving really so unbearable?

Did this Zhang Bin really annihilate the Jiannu cavalry?

Gao Qiqian didn't know that Zhang Bin had already made the first move, he didn't want it to be black, as soon as he returned to the capital, he went straight to the imperial study, ready to black Zhang Bin in front of Chongzhen according to the original draft.

Unexpectedly, after Chongzhen summoned him into the imperial study, he didn't ask anything else, and he just said: "Zhang Bin played, he annihilated more than 40,000 Jiannu cavalry, and you have been invited to see the head and corpse, is it true?" ”

Gao Qiqian is so depressed, I really didn't expect Zhang Bin's recital to go to the capital before him, but he has already thought about this problem, as soon as Chongzhen's words fell, he shook his head shamelessly and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know what Zhang Bin means by this, he didn't take Weichen to see the head and corpse of Jiannu." ”

"Huh?" , Chongzhen couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard this.

Who should he believe in this?

He thought about it, simply put aside the topic, and continued to ask, "Then what do you see in Liaodong?" ”

Finally asked the point, Gao Qiqian shamelessly said: "Wechen went around the south and west of Liaoyang City for two days, and carefully explored the camps of each army, and now the military discipline of the various armies in Liaodong is relatively loose, and there is no drill at all, and Weichen also learned that Zhang Bin did not command the army to attack the city desperately, and the soldiers all said that after they arrived outside Liaoyang City, Zhang Bin sometimes ordered them to attack the city, and sometimes ordered them to retreat and rest, and they didn't know what they were doing at all. ”

He didn't make it clear that Zhang Bin was blackmailing Huang Taiji and asking for a huge amount of gold and silver, but what he said was secretly consistent with what Huang Taiji said in the peace letter.

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help frowning and pondering, looking at it, Zhang Bin seemed to be really like what Huang Taiji said, he wanted to blackmail people to ask for money, otherwise why didn't he attack the city desperately, if he really tried his best to attack the city, he couldn't take Liaoyang City for such a long time!

Just when he was suspicious, Cao Huachun suddenly stood at the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Bin, the Governor of Jiliao, has ordered someone to come and make the first contribution." ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at Gao Qiqian suspiciously, and then asked, "Where is it, how many?" ”

Cao Huachun arched his hand and said: "Just outside the yamen of the military department on East Chang'an Street, it seems that there are more than forty cars, each with a thousand heads. ”

Chongzhen seemed to understand, he waved his hand at Cao Huachun at the door and said, "Well, pass on my will and order the military department to take a good inventory." ”

As soon as Cao Huachun left, he snorted coldly, threw a bunch of impeachment recitals in front of him, and then said coldly: "Look at the good things you did, forget it this time, if you dare to do it again next time, I can't get around you!" ”

Gao Qiqian was so frightened that he hurriedly lay on the ground and flipped through the folds to look carefully, looking at it, his face was green, these people are also shameless, what are you asking for bribes to be powerful, he just wants to black Zhang Bin!

However, he didn't dare to refute, because the emperor said that this time it would be over, and if he refuted it, the emperor would be mad!

He also knew that he was tricked by Zhang Bin, why was it inconvenient for so many heads to be sent to the capital, and it was clear that he was digging a pit for him!

However, at this time, even if he understood, it was too late, this one, he was completely defeated in Zhang Bin's hands, fortunately, the emperor did not clean him up because of this.

As for why Chongzhen didn't clean up the high diving technique, it was very simple, because Chongzhen was playing a ridiculous balancing technique again, and he wanted to use the high diving to balance Cao Huachun, who was faintly biased towards Zhang Bin, so even if he knew that there was a problem with this high diving submersion, he still had to use it!
