Looking at the generals who were eager to ask for battle, Naren Toya's heart suddenly felt a burst of comfort, which meant that Li Hongyu had been recognized by the soldiers, and his previous hard work was not in vain.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if Zhao Shujiao and the others reacted coldly to going to Shimen Mountain to rescue Li Hongyu, then things would be bad.

"Your feelings can be understood, and the official can't wait to lead the army to Shimen Mountain now, but the scholar has handed over the affairs of Jinzhou City to us, and we must protect the people of Jinzhou."

After a deep groan, Yuan Chonghuan stretched out his hand and motioned for the generals to sit down, and then said with a serious expression, "For this reason, let's think of a way to solve this matter." ”

"My lord, the only way to plan today is to divide the troops into two ways, one to stay in Jinzhou, and the other to fight the siege of Jiannu and go to Shimen Mountain."

Zhao Shujiao pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said to Xiang Yuan Chonghuan with a serious expression, "Your Excellency is the commander of Jinzhou, and you want to sit in Jinzhou, and you are willing to lead an army to Shimen Mountain to rescue the scholars." ”

"Mr. Zhao, the official has considered the method you said, but judging from the current situation, if we divide our troops to break through, it will be difficult to get rid of the Jiannu outside the city, and they will definitely desperately block us from going to the rescue."

Yuan Chonghuan's brows furrowed, he was not optimistic about this method, if Jiannu attacked Shimen Mountain with all his might, he would definitely guard against the rescue of the Ming army in Jinzhou, so the Jiannu outside the city would definitely try his best to stop it, and I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Ming army in the city to get rid of those Jiannu.

The generals at the scene suddenly fell silent when they heard this, to be honest, they did not have the confidence to defeat the Houjin soldiers outside the city, who were equivalent to the strength of the Ming army, once they were entangled by the Houjin soldiers outside the city, they were afraid that they would not be wiped out if they could not reach Shimen Mountain.

"My lord, it's better to kill at night while it's dark." But soon, the general Zhu Mei said to Yuan Chonghuan in a deep voice that it would be difficult for Houjin to intercept him if he had the cover of night.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Yuan Chonghuan, in everyone's opinion, this is a good idea, maybe they can rush out and reach Shimen Mountain.

"I don't know if you have thought about it, Jiannu will definitely follow and kill, they have a lot of cavalry, how many of us can rush to Shimen Mountain after this rush? And how to deal with the Jiannu of Shimen Mountain? ”

The corners of Yuan Chonghuan's mouth couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, he had thought of all these methods, but none of them could be done, there were always various restrictions and constraints.

Obviously, the Houjin army outside the city could immediately guess the intention of the Ming army after seeing it break through in the direction of Shimen Mountain, so they would definitely pursue it with all their might.

There are thirty miles from Jinzhou to Shimen Mountain, and for the Ming army, this thirty-mile journey will become a bloody journey, and I don't know how many people will die there at that time.

Moreover, the Houjin generals of Jinzhou City will definitely send people to fly to the news of the Jinzhou Ming army's aid to Shimen Mountain to inform the Houjin army generals of Shimen Mountain, and the Houjin army of Shimen Mountain will wait for work, and will fight with the pursuing Houjin army to reinforce the Ming army in Shimen Mountain, and the consequences will naturally be unimaginable.

The corners of Zhu Mei's mouth squirmed when she heard this, and she wanted to argue something, but in the end she couldn't say it, because what Yuan Chonghuan said was the truth, and he had no way to refute it.

This made the scene fall silent again, Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and others were not afraid of death, if they could rescue Li Hongyu, they would rather die.

But they didn't want to die in vain, if they couldn't save Li Hongyu, everything would be in vain, so this made everyone's mood extremely lost.

"Lord Yuan, I think things may not be as bad as my lord thinks." Seeing that the generals at the scene were dumbfounded for a while, Naren Toya, who had been silent, bowed slightly to Yuan Chonghuan and said in a coquettish voice.

"Does the Yu Guard have a way?" Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but ask Naren Tuoya when he heard this, he was really powerless now, and he couldn't wait to lead the army to Shimen Mountain in person.

Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and the others also looked at Naren Tuoya, they had felt strange from before, it seemed that they should not participate in such an important discussion as Naren Tuoya, let alone sit at the head of Yuan Chonghuan.

"Lord Yuan, as far as I know, there are a total of 50,000 or 60,000 horses and horses in Jiannu who came to Jinzhou this time, including more than 40,000 Jurchen soldiers and Mongolian soldiers, and the remaining more than 10,000 people are Han people who surrendered to Jiannu."

Naren Toya raised her head and glanced around at the scene, and then said to Yuan Chonghuan in an orderly manner, "Jiannu must also know our troops, and know that there are more than 10,000 officers and troops on Shimen Mountain, if they want to capture Shimen Mountain before the Mongols arrive, then the number of troops invested in attacking the mountain should be about 20,000 people." ”

"Lord Yuan, since Jiannu thinks that the scholars are in Shimen Mountain, then they must be guarding against the breakthrough of the scholars, so Jiannu will definitely leave the Jurchen soldiers and Mongolian soldiers in Shimen Mountain, otherwise once the scholars break through, they will fall short!"

After hesitating for a moment, Naren Toya said what was in her heart, "Therefore, the humble position believes that those people outside the city are the Han army of Jiannu, and their purpose is to deter us so that we will not be able to rescue Shimen Mountain. ”

"Yu Huwei, are you saying that the Jiannu outside the city are the Han people who surrendered to Jiannu?"

Yuan Chonghuan was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and the others also showed surprised expressions on their faces, they had never thought of this.

"Judging from the current situation, it is not impossible to do so." Naren Toya nodded solemnly, the reason why she could think of this was naturally influenced by Li Hongyu.

In fact, since marrying Li Hongyu, Naren Toya's mind has been greatly improved, after all, the capital is the most complicated place in the Ming Dynasty.

Since leaving the customs, Naren Toya has been serving by Li Hongyu's side, so he is very clear about the current situation between Daming and Houjin, and knows that Nurhachi is very jealous of Li Hongyu, so he will definitely attack Shimen Mountain with all his might.

After coming to Jinzhou City, Naren Tuoya didn't think about tea and dinner, tossing and turning, thinking about Li Hongyu very much, and feeling very bad.

After two days of adjustment, Naren Toya gradually eased up, and she realized that she was worried in Jinzhou City and was not the solution, so she had to find a way to help Li Hongyu.

From the move of the Houjin army outside the city to besiege but not attack, Nurhachi not only guessed the fact that Li Hongyu stayed in Shimen Mountain and did not return to Jinzhou City, but also keenly discovered that the Houjin army outside the city was strange, and then boldly guessed that the Houjin army outside the city was the Han army of the Houjin.

"My lord, the Yu guards are right, the Jiannu who came outside the city in the past two days only sent a small patrol team to patrol outside the city, although those people are Jurchens, but it is unknown whether the people in the camp are Jurchens or Han soldiers."

After listening to Naren Toya's words, Zu Dashou pondered for a while, and then said to Yuan Chonghuan, "I also think that Jiannu will put heavy troops on Shimen Mountain, and the Jiannu outside the city may be the Han army that surrendered to Jiannu!" ”

When the generals at the scene heard this, there was a small commotion, and they were talking about Naren Toya's words in private, and they didn't know whether the Jiannu outside the city was a Jurchen or a Han army of the Later Jin, which no one knew now.

"Lord Yuan, according to our humble opinion, we might as well take the initiative to attack the Jiannu camp outside the city, if there are a large number of Jurchens stationed inside, then we will retreat to the city."

Naren Toya knew that there was no time to discuss who the people in the Jiannu military camp outside the city were, and said to Yuan Chonghuan with a solemn expression:

"If there are only a few bluffing Jurchens in the Jiannu camp, and the rest are the Han army of Jiannu, then we can defeat them in one fell swoop, and then rush to Shimen Mountain to rescue!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy conference hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone, including Yuan Chonghuan, looked at Naren Toya in surprise, never expecting her plan to be so bold.

"My lord, this method of the Yu guards is really good, we can test it to see who is in the Jiannu camp outside the city."

Zhao Shujiao was the first to react, bowed to Yuan Chonghuan and said, he thought about it, only Naren Tuoya's method was the safest.

"My lord, if the people in the Jiannu military camp outside the city are really the Han army of Jiannu, then we can support the scholars and go to Shimen Mountain to relieve the siege."

Zhu Mei also agreed with Naren Toya's idea, and then expressed his attitude, after Naren Toya reminded him that he also felt that the behavior of the Houjin army outside the city was a little abnormal, maybe Nurhachi really sent the Han army to monitor the Ming army in Jinzhou.

"My lord, let's fight the Jiannu outside the city!" Immediately, the generals of the Ming army at the scene asked for battle, they didn't want to wait in Jinzhou City in vain, how could they fight.

"Okay, this official has decided to go out of the city early tomorrow morning and attack the Jiannu camp."

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Yuan Chonghuan nodded when he heard this, and announced loudly, "Tomorrow, this official will personally go to supervise the battle." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and others couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all got up and saluted Yuan Chonghuan, if they were lucky, they would rush to Shimen Mountain to rescue Li Hongyu.

Looking at those excited generals, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but feel a burst of envy in his heart, and he naturally hoped to be supported by the soldiers like Li Hongyu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one more thing that the official wants to announce here."

Then, Yuan Chonghuan remembered something, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to Naren Toya, who was sitting on the seat, and said loudly, "In addition to being the guard of the scholar, this guard Yu also has another identity, he is the wife of the scholar, the lord of Caixia of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Lord Caixia?" Hearing this, Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and the others were taken aback, although some of them had already seen that Naren Toya was a woman disguised as a man, but they never imagined that she would be the county lord of Caixia, Li Hongyu's first concubine.

Naren Toya's cheeks couldn't help but redden, and then she stood up and took off the hair towel on the top of her head, and her long, silky hair suddenly fell down, revealing her true identity.

"I've seen Lord Caixia!" Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and the others glanced at each other in surprise, and then hurriedly bowed and saluted, in terms of official rank, Naren Tuoya is the highest-ranking person in Jinzhou City.
