Chapter 382: Governor of Liaodong
There is a manifestation called thief's weak heart, and Dai Shan is like this now.
According to the reports of Jurchen spies hidden in various parts of Liaodong, except for 30,000 horses and horses entering the pass, the rest of the Liaodong Army did not have any abnormal movements, and even the 20,000 Liaodong troops near Hetuala were only conducting routine training and patrols, and there was no abnormal behavior.
But Dai Shan still felt a little uneasy, no one knew better than himself what he had done during the time Ye Xun was gone.
suppressed the tribes that tried to get close to the Ming Dynasty, co-opted some weak tribes, and constantly replenished the strength of his subordinates, etc.
If Daishan gathers all the centaurs together now, he is sure that he will destroy the 20,000 Ming troops near Hetuara in one battle.
But Dai Shan couldn't do that, because the most important thing had not yet been completed, and that was to worry about the new artillery of the Ming army.
In the first battle outside Shenyang, those artillery left a deep impression on Dai Shan, with long range, great power, convenient maneuverability, etc., it can be said that the appearance of this kind of artillery completely subverted the Jurchens' understanding of war.
It was the Ming army that had this kind of sharp new firearms that made Dai Shan dare not act rashly, but unfortunately, after Ye Xun left, the artillery in the Ming army camp opposite was also pulled back to Shenyang, otherwise Dai Shan would definitely snatch the artillery.
Although the Ming army did not act abnormally, his intuition told Dai Shan that the Ming army probably already knew about his small actions, and if that was the case, he would be in danger.
Dai Shan doesn't know how capable the new governor of Liaodong is, but one thing is certain, that is, if this guy doesn't have any skills, Ye Xun can't rest assured that Liaodong will be handed over to him.
Now there are two ways in front of Dai Shan, either continue to pretend to be a grandson, but if Ming Jun knows his true intentions, I am afraid that he will not even be able to pretend to be a grandson.
Another is to rebel again, and then take advantage of Ye Xun's absence and the Liaodong army did not fully react, sack the nearby cities, and finally break through the defense line of the Yalu River and enter the round between Korea and Huang Taiji.
However, this second article is also risky, and the secret agreement between him and Huang Taiji was that he would stay in hiding, recuperate and wait for an opportunity to steal the secrets of the new artillery.
So once Dai Shan raises troops at this time, then his previous efforts will be in vain, even if he arrives in North Korea, can Huang Taiji still treat him like before?
The answer is obvious, because Dai Shan knows his younger brother too well, and there is another point, that is, Dai Shan does not plan to be under the fence, and this time he plans to do it seriously.
Dai Shan has a Han strategist by his side, surnamed Liu Fangzhi, who was rescued by Dai Shan from the hands of horse bandits, loyal to Dai Shan, has read books for a few days, and is also a little clever, so he has always been very relied on by Dai Shan.
"Where is the governor surnamed Sun?"
"You should have arrived at Li Guangrong's camp, Big Baylor, the comer is not good, the minion suggests that you should prepare early"
The servility of some Han people has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, or they are born with servility, and they can't be changed.
"Let it go! The Ming army is very closely monitoring us, and if we move people, it is very likely that we will be alarmed, and I don't want to go to North Korea, can you understand what I mean? ”
"Huh! Baylor doesn't need to worry, the minion has already thought about it for you, isn't this new governor of Liaodong going to inspect! In this name, you will summon the leaders of the various departments to come and pay a visit to the governor, so that the Ming army will not say anything."
"At the same time, we also have to look at the attitude of this Governor Sun, if he is just a routine inspection, then we don't need to be too nervous."
Dai Shan thought about it, but he was still frightened by Ye Xun, it seems that he must overcome this psychological obstacle first, otherwise he will never want to defeat Ye Xun.
"Get ready, let's go meet this Lord Sun"
Before Dai Shan's words fell, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the tent: "Qiyu Belle, the scout has just sent the news that Governor Sun of Liaodong did not go to the Ming army camp, but came directly to my Hetuala."
Dai Shan and Liu Fangzhi were taken aback, and said in their hearts, what does this new governor mean? Why are you in such a hurry?
Dai Shan hurriedly called the guards in and asked, "How many men did he bring?" ”
"Back to Baylor, the scout said that Governor Sun only had three hundred guards with him, and they were all light cavalry"
Dai Shanhu looked at Liu Fangzhi suspiciously, and then waved his hand to let the guards retreat.
"Putting it down, why do I always think that there is something wrong with this surname Sun"
Liu Fangzhi smiled and said, "Lord Belle, are you too nervous?" Not to mention that there are only 300 people around him, even if the 20,000 troops of the Ming army have arrived, we Jurchen warriors are still afraid that they will not succeed? ”
After listening to Liu Fangzhi's words, Dai Shan also reacted, Ye Xun had left Liaodong, although the Liaodong Army was more elite than the Ming Army in the past, but compared with the Jurchen warriors, it was obviously still a step worse, what were you afraid of him doing?
"In that case, let's not let people look down on us, call two hundred brothers, let's go to meet this governor, you don't want to go, let the ministries strengthen their vigilance, and once things change, come and meet us immediately."
People are right with confidence, but overconfidence is the problem, the Liaodong Army is indeed not the garbage of the past, but the Jurchen army is also no longer the courage of the Nurhachi period, and their courage has long been frightened by Ye Xun.
At a place about forty miles away from Hetuala, Dai Shan greeted Sun Chengzong and his party.
As soon as he saw Sun Chengzong's appearance, Dai Shan was startled, and said in his heart Is this a civil official? How long is it thicker than a general?
Sun Chengzong is indeed not like a civil official, he is tall and strong, with a strong face, his eyes are not angry and arrogant, and with that official uniform, it adds a bit of prestige.
However, Sun Chengzong's expression was very amiable, and he dismounted and hugged his fists when he was far away: "I have heard the name of Dabeile for a long time, and it is really better to meet than to be famous!" ”
Dai Shan was confused by Sun Chengzong's attitude, and said in his heart, are we so familiar?
Thinking about it, he also put on a surprised expression on his face, bowed down and saluted: "Welcome to Hetuala, and express my most sincere welcome to Lord Sun in the next generation of Jurchen tribes."
After the two old men talked a few words, they ordered their men to set up camp, because it was getting late, and it was really unnecessary to force the way at this time.
There is not much time, dozens of tents are erected from the ground, not a march to fight, and there is no need for any big tents of the Chinese army, but the tents of Sun Chengzong and Dai Shan are still more eye-catching.
As soon as the tent was set up, Dai Shan personally came over and invited Sun Chengzong to drink at his place.
This is etiquette and an inevitable program, Sun Chengzong didn't even think about it, and he took two of his men to Daishan's big tent.
Dai Shan has been secretly observing Sun Chengzong's every move, until Sun Chengzong only brought two guards, he was completely relieved, it seems that he really thought too much before, this surname Sun's visit this time does not have any special meaning
