Zhai Shiyun was still dealing with military affairs in the Defense Division at night, and when he learned this information, he was taken aback, and after confirming it again and again, he asked the old monk to keep his mouth shut, and at the same time rushed to the palace to hand over the sign and enter the palace to ask to see the emperor.

During the war, Zhu Youlang also slept very late, although he was very tired after supervising the war, but he still insisted on sleeping after dealing with government affairs.

In the palace study, he quietly listened to Zhai Shiyun's report, and when the report was completed, Zhu Youlang asked, "Can this news be confirmed?" ”

Zhai Shiyun shook his head: "This news comes from the mouth of a wandering old monk, and it has not been confirmed yet, but the minister feels that this matter is too important, so he would rather believe it than believe it." ”

Zhu Youlang nodded, and asked again: "The old monk is Zhao Shenrong who is currently serving as a guerrilla in the patrol battalion?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Sir, do you know Zhao Bingkun's character?" Intuition told Zhu Youlang that the root of the problem was in Zhao Bingkun.

Zhai Shiyun frowned and said: "This person was originally a general in Beijing, he was perverse by nature, and the yamen was angry. When the patrol battalion was established, the minister's subordinates were really short of soldiers and major generals, so they reinstated their posts and let them serve as Wupin guerrillas, helping the ministers to command the patrol battalion and surrender their pawns. ”

"After listening to Mr.'s introduction, I feel that this Zhao Bingkun really has the possibility of surrendering and becoming an internal response, so I must guard against it!"

"Then, in the opinion of the Holy One, what should be done with this person?"

"Immediately close the four gates, not let anyone enter or exit, trap the Qing army spies in the city, and at the same time secretly arrest Zhao Bingkun, interrogate him overnight, and be sure to catch all his henchmen and spies in the city before dawn!"

"Obey." Zhai Shiyun took the order and left, only more than an hour later, he entered the palace to restore his life, in the imperial study, he said angrily: "Shengshang, the interrogation results are out, Zhao Bingkun has confessed, this fang is really an internal response, it has been secretly cleared as early as when Zhaoqing was broken, and now he is planning to look for an opportunity to lure Kou into the city, thanks to the old monk, otherwise the minister will almost make a big mistake for the ages!" In the end, his voice was hoarse, and his face was full of deep remorse.

"Another rebel thief! Another thief lackey! Zhu Youlang slapped the table and said hatefully: "Damn! It's disgusting! ”

"The minister is guilty of negligence, please punish the saint!" Zhai Shi prostrated himself and pleaded guilty.

"Now is not the time to be held accountable." After Zhu Youlang calmed down, he ordered in a deep voice: "Zhao Bingkun's cronies and henchmen and spies in the city must be arrested as soon as possible. ”

"The old minister obeys."

"It's really a book that forgets its ancestors, and people's hearts are not ancient!" Zhu Youlang sighed while pacing back and forth in the study, and after a long time, he suddenly asked with his hands behind his back: "How many crossbowmen are there in the city?" ”

"After days of fierce fighting, the casualties among the soldiers were relatively large, and there were less than a thousand." Zhai Shiyun replied with some regret.

"Well, it will be of great use to mobilize them all to the southern city."

"Useful?" Zhai Shiyun was a little puzzled and said: "The old minister is ignorant, ask the saint to make it clear." ”

Zhu Youlang flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Qingyu doesn't really want to enter the city, since you want to come in, let's treat them well, the guns, spears and swords in the hands of my soldiers are hungry and thirsty!" ”

"Is the emperor thinking-" At this point, Zhai Shiyun already somewhat understood what the emperor meant.

"Since Zhao Bingkun's gang has agreed with the captives to dedicate the city, we might as well take advantage of the situation to make a plan."

"Bring the Qing captives into the city and annihilate them?"

Zhu Youlang nodded, and told him about the plan he came up with temporarily, and after listening to it, Zhai Shiyun glanced at Zhu Youlang with admiration, stroked his beard, and bowed his head frequently: "This method is very wonderful, this method is very wonderful." ”

"Since Mr. doesn't have any opinions, let's act tonight, the longer it drags on, the easier it is to leak the news, as for the arrest of the traitor and the spy, leave it to Jinyiwei to handle!"

"Without further ado, the minister will go back to the government to prepare." Zhai Shiyun is not a person who drags mud and water, and after making up his mind, he is also resolute in doing things.

In the dark night, the entrance of the southern city was crowded with people, the torches were bright, and hundreds of patrol battalion soldiers were digging with shovels, and half an hour later, a large deep pit five zhang long and three zhang wide had been dug at the entrance, completely cutting off the official road leading to the market.

Zhu Youlang was standing on the edge of the big pit, and was asking Jiao Lian to urge the soldiers to dig deeper, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, he raised his head, and saw more than 700 crossbow teams brought by Zhai Shiyun, firecrackers, and a smile couldn't help but show a smile on his handsome face.

Zhai Shiyun walked closer and saluted: "There are too few soldiers in Xingzai, who are proficient in archery, and there are not many who are skilled in artillery, and the ministers can only collect these with all their might." ”

"It doesn't matter, plus the three hundred soldiers in my guard camp who are proficient in firearms, it's barely enough." Zhu Youlang said while walking, and when he arrived at the edge of the pit, he saw that the bottom of the pit was densely filled with thin bamboo tips and blades, glowing with the cold light of the forest in the night.

The soldiers of the patrol battalion covered dozens of brittle and thin wooden planks above the pit to completely cover the pit, and then sprinkled a layer of loess evenly on the wooden plank, and from a distance, there was almost no abnormality.

After Zhu Youlang turned around along the big pit, he ordered a sergeant to raise his foot and step on the edge a few times, and after the sergeant stepped on it a few times, he found that although the plank was a little concave, it did not fall apart all at once, Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and called Wu Jihei, and asked him to take the foreign soldiers and seven hundred crossbowmen into the houses near the city gate to hide. The people in the houses had been sent to another place to settle down.

After the archers and musketeers were ambushed, Zhu Youlang ordered the patrol battalion soldiers to clean up the foreign objects at the city gate, leaving no clues.

When everything was settled, everyone walked up to the city, and in the east and west corridors from the city gate to the city head, there were also a large number of soldiers in armor and sharp armor, who held their breath and waited for the enemy.

The night wind howled, rolling the military flag at the head of the city whirring, Zhu Youlang raised his eyes to look at the Qing army camp outside the city, only to see the lights in the Qing army camp, endless, like a fire dragon entrenched.

Footsteps sounded, and Zhai Shiyun stepped forward to report: "Everything is in order." Zhu Youlang nodded and shouted in a low voice: "Spread the code and hang the lantern." ”

Soon, a Kong Ming lantern slowly rose from the head of the southern city.

Ten miles away from the Qing army camp.

Li Chengdong sat next to the handsome case of the Chinese army's big tent, with a hesitant expression, and on both sides of the big tent stood his righteous son Li Chengyin, his confidant generals and deputy chief soldier Du Yonghe, staff generals Li Hangui and Hao Shangjiu, as well as Zheng Zhilong's general Wu Yibo Shifu, deputy general Shi Lang and some Ming army generals. Shi Fu is Shi Lang's uncle, Zheng Zhilong's general in his early years, and he is a hardcore cronie, and the eight thousand Fujian soldiers and horses under the command of the two are Zheng Zhilong's elite Chinese army and the main force in the field.
