After discussing some specific matters related to the burial and peacemaking, everyone dispersed. As soon as Shuo Tuo came back, he worriedly told Yang San the news.

Yang San said with a smile: "Don't worry, Taiji, Master Lu is not a pedantic gentleman, I'm just afraid that Yue Tobel's idea will come to naught." ”

Shuoto patted his chest and put his heart down. He was afraid that the Ming army would fall for the trick and not be able to quickly drag his Great Khan father down from the throne.

The envoy of Houjin came to Liaoyang, and Lu Xiangsheng personally received him, and he fully agreed to the envoy's request for a temporary truce. He also proposed that the Ming people would send people to pay their respects, which made the messenger overjoyed, expressed his gratitude again and again, and promised that he would definitely entertain the Ming people well.

After the envoy left, Lu Xiangsheng summoned the generals and said: "The old slave is dead, and the whole city celebrates today, and he can't stop drinking." Rest tomorrow, and send troops to Shenyang the day after tomorrow. ”

Soon the news of Nurhachi's death spread to every corner of Liaoyang, and cheers and firecrackers rang out everywhere. In the 46th year of Wanli, Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty with seven hatreds, and it has been seven years since then. In the past seven years, I don't know how many Han people were killed by Jiannu, and how many were taken captive by Jiannu as slaves. Nurhachi's anti-Ming history is the history of the blood and tears of the Han people in Liaodong, and it is also the history of the blood and tears of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that this old slave is finally dead, how many people are crying in front of their relatives and telling their relatives the good news. That night, Liaoyang became a sea of joy, everyone cried and laughed, and vented the pent-up anger and happiness in their hearts.

Two days later, the rested Ming army left one brigade to guard Liaoyang, and the rest of the army marched towards Shenyang. It took two days on the road, and when the Ming army Chen soldiers were outside Shenyang, the stunned Dai Shan found an equally stunned messenger and asked angrily: "Didn't they promise a truce?" Why did you attack Shenyang again? ”

The messenger was also puzzled and repeated the whole process in detail. Dai Shan said: "You go and ask the Ming people, why are you treacherous." ”

The envoy hurriedly rode out of the city to see Lu Xiangsheng and said: "The bachelor personally agreed, and the sword soldiers on both sides were suspended, but I don't know why they came to Shenyang again?" Are Ming people accustomed to not believing in their words? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "On the same day, we said that the two sides would not use swords before the burial of your Great Khan. We have no intention of attacking Shenyang. ”

The envoy's heart was on fire and said, "Then so many of you have come to Shenyang, are you here to mourn?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Yes, didn't we talk to the envoy that day, we will send people to Shenyang to condole, and today we are here to fulfill the contract." But the messenger promised to entertain us well, but he would not let us enter the city, but you were the ones who did not believe it. ”

The messenger said, "Who mourns so many people?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said solemnly: "My Han family has always treated people with courtesy, acting according to etiquette, how can there be many people to show our sincerity, more than 20,000 people in the two divisions of my Guards, all want to laugh three times in front of your family's Great Khan, everyone wants to come, I can't stop it, and finally so many people came, just to trouble you to entertain." ”

The envoy knew that it would be useless to talk any further, so he had to go into the city to report the kindness. Dai Shan's face was pale, he knew that with the current strength of Shenyang Houjin, he would not be able to defend against the guards with siege artillery.

Amin said: "The Great Khan has not yet been buried, and our army is grieving at this time. The Han people have a saying that the mourning soldiers will win, and we can take this opportunity to defeat the Ming army. ”

Dai Shan smiled bitterly: "Under the artillery, the mourning soldiers will win, but I am afraid that it may not be." I didn't expect this Lu Xiangsheng to be fooled, it's really strange. At the time of the death of the Great Khan, I had already sent someone to the Ming Dynasty to report the funeral and handed over the surrender table, hoping that the Ming Emperor would be able to prevent Lu Xiangsheng from attacking Shenyang. ”

Yue Tuo pouted secretly, it is not known whether the messenger of Jianzhou has passed the Shanhaiguan Pass now, even if the Ming Dynasty decides to let Jianzhou go first after discussion, and wait for Jianzhou to surrender by itself, it will be at least ten days later. With this time, Lu Xiangsheng is enough to turn Shenyang over.

Du Du stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid it's too late." Let's prepare for both. The first is to transport the coffin of the Great Khan out of Shenyang first, and the second is to fight with the Ming army first. As for whether you can fight or not, you can't run away without a fight. ”

Yue Tuo said: "I'll go and meet Lu Xiangsheng first, and see if I can convince him to postpone the attack, so that we can make some preparations." ”

Dai Shan is now very dependent on Yue Tuo, and said worriedly: "What if they detain you?" ”

Yue Tuo sighed in his heart, Father Khan is old and confused. Lu Xiangsheng has the advantage, how can he detain himself at this time. He replied: "Father Khan, don't worry, Lu Xiangsheng won't do this, he doesn't want to summon up our courage at this time, and he will definitely let the child come back." ”

Dai Shan is relieved. Yue Tuo rode out of Shenyang alone and came to the front of the Ming army. Lu Xiangsheng asked someone to bring him in, and as soon as they met, he said, "Yue Tobel, your hospitality will not be closed. We came here to offer our condolences, not to mention the tea and hospitality, we should have been allowed to go in. ”

Yue Tuo said with a smile: "Condolences can't always hold knives and guns, your country is a state of etiquette, is it like this to mourn?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng also smiled: "We can take a firecracker instead of a knife and a gun, so that we can make a noise in front of your grandfather's spirit, and treat it as a firecracker." It's our custom, Baylor, you know. ”

Yue Tuo said with a smile: "Maybe there is this custom in the Ming Kingdom, but we don't set off firecrackers when we build a state of condolence, so we don't need to take the firecracker." ”

Lu Xiangsheng laughed and said: "Baylor said well, the condolence in Jianzhou is not firecrackers, but now it is not in Jianzhou, it is in Shenyang Wei, Shenyang Wei is the land of the Ming family, not the place of Jianzhou." ”

Yue Tuo bowed his head and said, "Yue Tuo also knows that it is self-inflicted humiliation to have a verbal dispute with Master Lu. It's just that I have a funeral in Jianzhou, can you please wait for us to finish the funeral before we talk about anything else. ”

Man Gui smiled beside him: "Since you don't want to do a battle of words, let's see the real chapter under your hands." When I have a mourning in Liaodong every day, I have never seen you let the people of Liaodong finish the funeral, but continue to create funerals, and even the people of Liaodong who have already submitted to you can do it, but at this time they are talking to us about any reason, it is really ridiculous. ”

Yue Tuo suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Master Lu, you only need to give us a grace period of five days, and wait for us to bury Old Khan." Five days later, what the bachelor wants to do, Jianzhou will all obey, please don't force Jianzhou to carry the coffin and fight. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a solemn face: "Tomorrow at noon, I will enter Shenyang City." Yue Tobel, I didn't say that I would go into the city today, but I was already on your knees, and it would be useless to say more, please. ”
