Chapter 24: Good news

The damned have their own way of taking death, although Li Rulong has some merit in defending the city, but since he put the idea of that silver, he has been betrayed to death in Ye Xun's heart.

Although Li Rulong still tried his best to keep his voice low, he couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart at all in his tone, and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the villain knows what to do."

"Do you think the old slave will come to attack the city today?"

The sky was already completely bright, and there was still no movement in the direction of the Jurchen camp, Ye Xun's heart couldn't help but rise, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and change the topic.

Just now, Li Rulong was thinking about the mountains of treasures in the Li family's treasury, and he forgot that there was a biggest enemy in front of him, and now when he heard Ye Xun ask, he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously said: "There is a father-in-law, I'm afraid that the old slave will also retreat!" ”

Ye Xun looked back at Li Rulong and smiled, the aroma of rice in the cauldron at the head of the city had already wafted over, and he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he was really a little hungry.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, come on, it can scare you away once, and Lao Tzu can also scare you away a second time.

Ignoring Li Rulong anymore, he turned his head to Xiang Baihu and said, "What do you eat in the morning, get one for our family."

Before Xiang Baihu could speak, Li Rulong hurriedly said: "My father-in-law is a noble person, how can I eat here, or go back..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Xun's wave of his hand, Ye Xun listened attentively, and then turned around again and came to the edge of the battlement to look into the distance.

Li Rulong and Xiang Baihu didn't know why, so they also came to Ye Xun's side, followed Ye Xun's gaze and looked into the distance, but they didn't see anything.

Just when the two of them looked at Ye Xun suspiciously, several black dots suddenly appeared in sight, and as the black dots got closer and closer, the two of them saw clearly, but it turned out to be a few Ming army scouts.

Although the fast horses galloped very quickly, Ye Xun still saw the expressions on their faces clearly, and couldn't help but sigh, the old slave should have withdrawn.

There was not much time, and a few fast horses came to the city and shouted to the city: "Brother above, go and report to Gonggong Ye quickly, the Tartars have withdrawn..."

The shouting scout obviously didn't see Ye Xun and the others at the head of the city, but his voice was loud enough, and the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city in this direction heard him shouting clearly.

After a short period of calm, the city suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers, everyone rushed to tell each other, many people were excited to shed tears, the news of the withdrawal of the Tartars for ordinary soldiers and civilians, undoubtedly great news, the big stone that had been pressed in the heart for many days finally moved away, how could people not be happy.

Ye Xun ordered someone to let the scouts in, and first ordered Li Rulong to reward the scouts, and then let them tell them the specific situation.

But it turned out that the scouts first observed the Jurchen camp from a distance according to the usual practice in the past, and then they soon discovered the problem, and none of the Jurchen scouts who chased and killed them in the past were gone.

After observing for a while, the scouts realized that the Jurchen camp had turned into an empty camp at some point.

The scouts split into two, a few of them returning to report the news, while others followed, hoping to learn more about the Tartars' movements.

Ye Xun didn't expect those herbs to have such a big effect, it seems that he has to find that old man to ask for the formula when he goes back, this is an ancient version of chemical weapons, if it is researched, it can come in handy in the future.

The news spread quickly, Ye Xun didn't wait to go back, Gong Quanan and Gao Ying also rushed over, and after meeting, they congratulated Ye Xun one after another.

Ye Xun knew very well that the old slave was a person, and he would definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss from himself, and the pressure on Tieling in the future would probably be greater than now.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Xun did not rush back to his residence, but came directly to the mansion.

This was originally Li Ruzhen's office, and he will definitely not have a chance to use it in the future.

After sitting down, Ye Xun began to assign tasks, and according to the previous assignment, Li Rulong went to gather the rich gentry in the city to raise military salaries.

Gao Ying's task is much more cumbersome, first of all, to report to Shenyang, and secondly, to find the people of Jinyiwei for Ye Xun, and at the same time, he must also take care of the logistics of the entire city, etc.

There's no way, Ye Xun is really unavailable now.

In the end, Gong Quan'an was picked up, Ye Xun waved his hand and ordered the guards waiting on the side to retreat, and then said: "General Gong, no matter what, you are all subordinate to the Kaiyuan Ma General Army, and now our family has no right to keep you, and we will order someone to send you 10,000 taels of silver when we turn back, but our family still has one condition, that is, you must leave me five hundred people."

Speaking of this, Ye Xun looked at Gong Quanan with burning eyes, waiting for Gong Quanan's reaction.

According to the development of the original history, after Salhu, Nurhachi connected the two cities of Kaiyuan and Tieling, and Marin also died in Kaiyuan.

But now because of his appearance, Tieling has been saved, and Kaiyuan should be fine for the time being, which means that Marin will not die yet.

In this case, Gong Quanan's stay in Tieling will definitely not be hidden, and Ma Lin will definitely recruit Gong Quanan to go back to defend the city.

If Ye Xun's official position is big enough, he can naturally keep Gong Quanan, but the problem is that Ye Xun has not yet contacted the capital, and he can't make Gong Quanan disobey the orders of the generals above.

Before the Tartar army besieged the city, Gong Quanan hadn't thought deeply about this matter, he just wanted to hug Ye Xun's thigh, and now that Ye Xun raised this question, he couldn't help but think about it.

He can see that although this little Ye Gonggong is young, he is decisive in killing, and now he has retired from the Jurchen army with a strategy, and he is also the most trusted type of person by the emperor, and his future is definitely unlimited, so let alone five hundred people, even if he leaves all the people and horses to Ye Xun, he is also willing.

Not to mention that the generals are all rough and big, although Gong Quanan's performance has always made Ye Xun a little unhappy, but today he made a decision that surprised Ye Xun...

With the news that the Tartar army had indeed withdrawn was confirmed, Tieling was also really boiling.

The people cheered and rushed to tell each other, Ye Xun's father-in-law's name was called non-stop, and some people even set up an immortal tablet for Ye Xun, and the four seasons of incense were enshrined, Ye Xun was completely popular this time.

After scouts' reconnaissance, the Jurchen army withdrew all the way to Hetuala, although the march was slow, but it did not stop, and the performance of the march was also very strange, one by one as if the dead Lao Tzu, without a little spirit.

This situation was publicized by the scouts, and the soldiers and civilians automatically attributed the credit to Ye Xun, which was of course Ye Xun's idea, but he didn't expect the effect of chemical weapons to be so good, in fact, there was one thing he didn't know, that is, the ghost laugh when he left, so that the originally superstitious Jurchen warriors completely lost their fighting spirit, and the power of the drug could not last long, and the lack of fighting spirit was the real reason for Nurhachi's withdrawal.

Compared with the jubilation with Tieling, the atmosphere in Shenyang is not very good, because Xiong Tingbi has arrived.
