Chapter 11: The Thirteen Mountains

A group of 8,000 people walked for more than a day and finally came to Ningyuan. Ningyuan City was already somewhat dilapidated, and Yuan Chonghuan ordered people to start building the city. Zhao Shujiao asked in surprise, "Aren't we going to the Thirteen Mountains?" Why build a city here? “

Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile: "You can know the art of war, the Thirteen Mountains are more than 100 miles away from here, if we go to the Thirteen Mountains and Jiannu occupies this place, won't we wait for the back road to be completely cut off?" These 8,000 people will be dead by then. “

Zhao Shujiao retorted: "We go to the Thirteen Mountains, and after defeating Jiannu, we can cover the righteous people and retreat to the seaside. If Jiannu wins, can we still come back? “

Yuan Chonghuan said angrily: "There are clouds in the book of war, if you don't think about victory, you should think about defeat first, if our army is defeated, you can have Ning Yuan to support it." Just do what I want. “

He is the boss and a civil minister, Zhao Shujiao doesn't dare to argue with him anymore, Li Chengxian doesn't care about these things at all, Yuan Zhishi is what he says, and Lu Zhijia has long been frightened and doesn't squeak.

Ningyuan City is small, and it is not very badly damaged, so it only took five days to basically repair the city wall. Zhao Shujiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he watched the progress of the construction three or four times a day, but he couldn't do anything. After building the city, Yuan Chonghuan summoned the three generals and began to assign tasks: "Zhao Xilong, you and Li Guerrilla led 4,000 troops to the Thirteen Mountains, and the official and Lu Guerrilla returned triumphantly in Ningyuan. “

Before Zhao Shujiao could speak, Li Chengxian couldn't help it: "Excuse me, we have 8,000 people, why only send 4,000 soldiers to the Thirteen Mountains?" Ning Yuan defends the city, a thousand soldiers are enough, please think deeply. “

Yuan Chonghuan said: "This official guards the back road for you, so that you can live in the Thirteen Mountains without any scruples, how can the few soldiers guard Ningyuan, and where will you put the safety of this official?" “

Lu Zhijia said: "Matter, the last general is willing to live in the Thirteen Mountains." He had already reacted afterwards and was deceived, but the situation was stronger than people, he was a small guerrilla, and he couldn't resist Yuan Chonghuan, a civil official who was a servant, no matter what, he just wanted to stay away from him, lest he fall for him again.

Yuan Chonghuan glared at him, and when he saw that he lowered his head weakly, he said: "How to deploy troops will be the duty of the officer, and how to fight is the duty of you, don't make a mistake about the guerrilla lu." “

So the controversy ended with a great victory for Yuan. Zhao Shujiao and Li Chengxian led 4,000 people out of Ningyuan City and headed for the Thirteen Mountains.

Thirteen mountains are seventy-five miles east of Jinxian County, about two hundred zhang high, about more than twenty miles in radius, and there are thirteen peaks in total. At this time, it was the Han army led by Li Yongfang who besieged the Thirteen Mountains, as well as a small number of Houjindu troops.

Li Yongfang began the siege in April, and it has not been captured for three months, and a large number of Han people have fled from the Thirteen Mountains to Juehua Island and other places. Nurhachi has already sent someone to scold him once, but he has no choice, the Han army has poor combat effectiveness, and the Thirteen Mountains have a favorable location, their leader Yang San has good martial arts, is righteous, and knows some art of war, and has a very high prestige among the Han people. With the number of Han troops alone, there is no way to surround the mountains to death, there will always be a gap, and if it goes on like this, it will not be able to be defeated in a year.

It was obviously impossible for Nurhachi to give him a year to conquer the Thirteen Mountains, Li Yongfang racked his brains, but failed to capture it, so he had to use the method he was best at - rebellion. He sent his subordinates to blend into the interior of the Thirteen Mountains, befriended the Han people in the Thirteen Mountains who were interested in serving Houjin, and was ready to find an opportunity to kill Yang San, and then wipe out the Han people in the Thirteen Mountains, he sent people into the mountains ten days ago, and at this time, Zhao Shujiao had already led the army to the vicinity of the Thirteen Mountains.

On the Thirteen Mountains, Yang San was convening a meeting of several leaders. Although Li Yongfang can't capture the Thirteen Mountains, but the life of the Thirteen Mountains is not easy, there are not enough weapons, and the food can't support it for long, the only thing to rely on is the location, Yang Sanxian said: "If this continues, we have to change our strategy, if you have any good suggestions, let's talk about it." ”

"No matter what, I will not surrender Jiannu, I am going to go down the mountain at night, run to the beach to find a way, and swim back to Guannai." This is Yang San's sworn brother Liu Yidao.

"You can't walk alone, if you want to go, you have to go together, and you can't bear to lose your brothers and sisters here." This is Yang San's other sworn brother, Zhang Zhaoyun.

"The construction of slaves is strong, and we are short of food now, if it doesn't work, it is better for us to pretend to surrender first, and then find a chance to escape." This is also Yang San's sworn brother Bi Mazi.

"My brother is right, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, it's better to fake surrender first, and talk about it later." This is Bi Mazi's brother Bi San.

……

At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Boze next to Yang San, he was a showman, resourceful, and at the critical moment of the Thirteen Mountains struggle, he destroyed his family and raised a large amount of rice and salt to support, and won the trust of Yang San, faintly the second leader in the mountains, he coughed and said slowly: "Surrender is not good, whether it is true surrender or false surrender." People, you can't retreat, if you take a step back, you will want to take a second step back, and if you retreat, you will slowly get used to retreating, Jiannu is also a person, there are so many of us, at most we will die here together, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one, I want us Han'er to shave our hair and dress up, dreaming! ”

Everyone praised: "Brother Liu said it so well, your head can be broken, your hair can't be shaved, and you have to go to see your ancestors when you die." ”

Bi Mazi also said: "Brother Liu woke me up with a word, I must fight to the end with Jiannu." I'd rather die than shave my hair. ”

Everyone shouted "I'd rather die than shave my hair", Yang San smiled and said: "It's good that the big guys think so, as for the food matter, we can still support it for a while, I have asked Li Zheng to go to Wang Jingluo, the time should have come a long time ago, and soon there will be officers and soldiers to save us, everyone just hold on a little longer." Guard your own lot first, and don't let Jiannu take advantage of it. ”

Bi Mazi returned to his own defense area, Dajian Peak, his face was gloomy. Bi San followed him into the room, saying that it was a room, but it was actually just a grass shed. There were people in the room, and a scribe in his twenties stood up, saluted Bi Mazi and said, "I don't know if Bi Guerrilla has gained anything this time?" ”

Bi Mazi hurriedly replied: "Mr. Li, Yang San and Liu Boze are both brainless, and they want to fight hard with the big gold soldiers. ”

The scribe smiled and said: "I told Bi Guerrilla a long time ago that they will not surrender, for the sake of today's plan, only to strike first and be the leader of Yang San, and then everyone will listen to Bi Guerrilla, and things will be fine." ”
