For the three cities in southern Liaoning, Jiang Chuan has long had an idea. X only came because of the lack of troops before, and secondly, because Yuan Chonghuan made trouble, so he can only think about it.

But now that nearly 40,000 Ming army captives have been captured, their strength has increased greatly, but whether these 40,000 Ming troops join the military or join the civilian nationality, the total strength of the Jiang army can be greatly increased, and this has the strength to attack the three cities in southern Liaoning.

In addition, Yuan Chonghuan was transferred back to fight Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to the death, and there was no one to make trouble and drag him back, so he would naturally be able to deal with the Tartars with one mind.

Therefore, he asked Bai Jinxiu to infiltrate the forces of the Black Ice Platform into the three cities of southern Liaoning and even Shengjing, so as to prepare for the offensive in the spring of next year.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan suddenly asked, "Is the situation in Datong stable now?" Is that Jinyi Wei Qianhu Shen Lian reliable now? ”

"Well, don't worry, this person likes to be vassals and elegant, write and paint on weekdays, but he doesn't have the consciousness of being loyal to the Ming Emperor to accompany the funeral. And his family is now in our hands, and his life with us is much better than before, so he has no reason to kill himself. Besides, if I send someone to follow him, even if he really has any thoughts, I am afraid that he will be noticed by me before he moves. Bai Jinxiu nodded.

"I believe in your arrangement, but when you go back, you arrange for someone to bring this guy over, let him have a good look at our strength, completely dispel his little caution, and let him really do things for us, otherwise, it will be very troublesome to always guard against him." Jiang Chuan thought about it and admonished.

"Well, let me know when you think it's appropriate, and I'll arrange it." Bai Jinxiu said.

"How is Li Yongnian, the chief soldier of Datong, over there? I've heard that this person is not simple, and it is best not to make him suspicious of Jinyiwei. Jiang Chuan asked again.

"The border army has always had little to do with Jinyiwei, and they are basically two independent systems. Therefore, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke the border army, I don't think anything will happen. According to the information we inquired, this person actually admires you, the eldest marquis, after all, he has dealt with Tartars for so many years and knows how powerful Tartars are. If you can beat the Tartar so badly, he must have wanted to make friends with you. If you have the chance, you may want to get in touch with this person. "Bai Jinxiu is confident.

"Okay, when the time is ripe, you can arrange it for me, and I can go to Datong at that time. I'm going to take this Datong City sooner or later. If we can pull Li Yongnian over and become our person, then we may be able to take Datong City without blood. Jiang Chuan nodded.

Bai Jinxiu's heart moved, and asked, "The Tartars haven't been cleaned up yet, do you have a mind about Datong?" ”

Jiang Chuan Zhengse said: "I have a hunch that it won't be long before there will be chaos in this big tomorrow." Datong City is now lonely outside the pass, becoming the only important town in Daming outside the Shanhaiguan. In the future, once there is a great chaos within the Ming Dynasty, this Datong City is our outpost overlooking the Ming Dynasty. Taking a step back, no matter whether Li Zicheng or Daming wants to send troops outside the pass in the future, they will not be able to bypass Datong City. So Datong must be in our hands. Even, even the key to the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty must be in our hands, so that it is enough to attack, retreat and defend, and be invincible. ”

Bai Jinxiu looked at Jiang Chuan blankly and muttered, "You actually think so far!" Although the Tartars have been defeated for a few battles, their vitality has not been damaged, and you haven't even taken a city from other people, how dare you think of coveting Datong and Shanhaiguan? I can't figure it out, where does your confidence come from? ”

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, and did not answer her question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you, since we met, which thing do you think I am sure of victory before success?" But in the end? We've not all succeeded. ”

Bai Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and when she thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the case. Whether it is the officers and soldiers who repelled the invasion of Heiniu Mountain, or the hundreds of troops to capture the lair of the bandit Hai Dongqing, or the later annihilation of the 5,000 Tartar baggage team, the surprise attack on Liaoyang City, the capture of the Tartar princess, to the defeat of the 30,000 army of the Tartars, the car split Aobai, the killing of Yue Tuo, and the repulsion of Duoduo, so that to the recent defeat of Yuan Chonghuan, one by one, at the beginning of the incident, one by one, made people feel that it was absolutely impossible to win, but the final result was a miraculous victory, which was as if God was favoring him.

Thinking of this, looking at the man in front of him who exuded a heroic spirit and strong confidence from the inside out, Bai Jinxiu muttered: "Yes, why can you always do things that seem absolutely impossible to others?" ”

Jiang Chuan raised his eyes at a forty-five degree angle at this time and looked at the roof, and said lightly in a lonely tone that he thought was distant and deep: "That's because I am the chosen one, and God chose me to end this tyrannical and chaotic world." ”

Bai Jinxiu looked at him pretending to be forced, and suddenly sneered, covered his mouth and laughed.

This smile made Jiang Chuan also break his skills, and he felt as if he was pretending to be a god.

However, it also successfully bypassed this difficult question.

It's just that what Bai Jinxiu doesn't know is that although Jiang Chuan's posture is pretending to be forced, his words tell the real secret of all this, but she will never think of it.

The two talked for a long time, and Qi Xuan's voice suddenly came from outside: "Master Hou, Miss Bai, the meal is ready." ”

Jiang Chuan knew that Qi Xuan was careful, and he was afraid that he and Bai Jinxiu were doing something indescribable, and it would be too embarrassing to break in, so he reminded him loudly.

"Come in." Jiang Chuan shouted.

The door curtain was lifted, a maid opened the door curtain, and Qi Xuan walked in with a three-layer food box.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it, but found that the black-clothed maid who opened the curtain felt a little familiar, and couldn't help asking, "Why do I seem to have seen you somewhere, what is your name?" ”

When the maid heard Jiang Chuan's question, her face turned pale, a look of horror and shame flashed in her eyes, and she squatted down slightly and bowed: "Tell the Hou Ye, little girl Yatu." ”

Yatu? Jiang Chuan read the name again, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Qi Xuan put down the food box, set up the food on the round table on the side, and was about to ask Bai Jinxiu to eat when she turned around, but found that her Hou Ye was staring at the black-clothed maid next to him in a daze.

"Master Hou, the white girl can eat. Yatu, you go down first. ”

Qi Xuan smiled, first beckoned Jiang Chuan and Bai Jinxiu to eat, and then gave the black-clothed maid a look.

The black-clothed maid glanced at Qi Xuan with some gratitude, saluted, and hurriedly turned around and went out.

Jiang Chuan and Bai Jinxiu sat at the dinner table, but they looked at Qi Xuan, who was busy serving himself a meal, with a question in his eyes.
