With many years of experience in the Jianyu Army, Fan Wencheng immediately heard the sound of horses' hooves that could only be made by well-trained cavalry. Suddenly, he immediately became nervous, how could there be cavalry of the Ming army here?

Fan Wencheng subconsciously blew out the lamp, picked up the letterheads, and wanted to run out. But at this time, he suddenly heard something again, so he stopped his movements, and after listening carefully, he sat back, and at the same time unfolded the letter and flattened it again.

A voice sounded outside the door, Fan Gou pushed the door in, and when he saw Fan Wencheng's appearance, he couldn't help but admire it very much. Just now, he was frightened, and he thought that the Ming army had come to arrest them.

"Senior brother, on the official road outside the temple just now, a team of cavalry passed by. Judging from their banners, there are three parts: the Guanning Cavalry, the New Army Cavalry and the Dongjiang Cavalry, with a total of about 800 cavalry. Looking at the direction, it is heading towards Jingshi. Fan Gou whispered.

When Fan Wencheng heard this, his brows furrowed, weren't these three cavalry armies fighting against the Qing Dynasty at Anshan Post Fort, why did they send some of them back to Beijing? Could it be that the Ming army won another battle in Liaodong?

He didn't think that the Qing Dynasty could win the battle, because he knew that even if the army could fight again, if there was no food, grass and materials, it would be impossible to win the battle. With the current strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is actually good to be able to maintain the situation before he left!

At this time, Fan Wencheng was very worried, frowned and thought for a while, and then asked Fan Gou: "Is there any movement outside now?" ”

It is also due to the situation in Yongping Mansion City, so Fan Wencheng is very cautious. His men were not all around, but they were on the outside.

When Fan Gou heard this, he hesitated for a while and then replied: "It seems that the rivers and lakes are not very calm, and some people in the rivers and lakes can be seen outside from time to time, looking menacing. It's almost the end of the year, and it's not going to stop yet! ”

At hearing this, his brow furrowed even tighter. Because the strong man who was arrested before was a man in the rivers and lakes.

Seeing Fan Wencheng's expression, Fan Gou knew that he was worried, so he expressed his opinion and said: "Senior brother, this place is already a little far away from Yongping Mansion City, and I haven't heard of any big gangs over there, so it is impossible to affect this side." Besides, it's just a dead person, and even if they find the body, who will know that we did it? ”

In ancient times, if you were an ordinary person, you basically lived in a radius of dozens of miles from your birthplace. Generally speaking, very few people go far away. A 100-kilometer road like in later generations is less than an hour away from a high-speed drive. But for people in this era, it takes at least six or seven days to walk, and the cost on this road is a lot and very expensive.

When Fan Wencheng heard him say this, he thought about it and felt relieved. Then his face turned straight, he folded the letter in his hand and handed it to Fan Gou and said, "You go back to Shenyang immediately and hand over this letter to the emperor." Remember, this letter is very important, and it must be handed over to the emperor by hand. In the letter, I also asked the emperor for several times the amount of money, and the emperor will give it to you. ”

Fan Gou was a little surprised when he heard this. When he came out this time, how much money was worth in total, others didn't know, but as Fan Wencheng's real confidant, he naturally knew.

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface, just nodded and responded: "Don't worry, master, I will set off immediately, and I will definitely send the letter back to Shenyang." ”

Not long after, Fan Gou took only one person with him and went out of the temple gate to leave.

At this time, I happened to meet the host of the temple and walked towards him. Fan Gouhe said: "The master has come back?" ”

When the host saw Fan Gou, his face seemed to be a little strange, nodded and dealt with it, and then took the monks under his hand into the temple.

Fan Gou didn't care either, thinking that the host was tired after being asked to do the Dharma for a day and a night.

He didn't know that in a forest opposite the temple gate, a group of people surrounded a thin man who seemed to be more sick, and the leader of them asked, "Hou San, do you recognize it?" “

This thin man is none other than Hou San, who has been freezing in the wild all night, and his body has been frostbitten. But even so, as long as something unusual was found, he would insist on rushing there and confirm with his own eyes whether it was Fan Wencheng's gang of traitors. Only in this way can we minimize the possibility of startling the snake.

Because of the clues provided by Hou San, it was said that Fan Wencheng and his group were pretending to be monks, so temples in various places were the focus of attention. The monk who came to this temple to place an order, although the number of people was not matched, but the local heroes of the rivers and lakes came forward to verify the situation on the grounds of asking the host to do things.

At this time, Hou San, just glanced at it, and then became excited, stared at Fan Gou and the others, and said through gritted teeth: "My lord, these two people belong to Fan Wencheng's gang, and Cao Mian dares to guarantee with his life!" ”

As soon as he heard this, the Jinyi Wei Baihu led by him was immediately overjoyed, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to quietly follow and find a place where no one was there to arrest these two people.

This time, in order to arrest Fan Wencheng and these dog traitors, whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they are all elite. There are many people bullying people, and it is a sudden attack. It didn't take long for Fan Gou and the others to be escorted to Baihu by Wuhua Tie.

Fan Gou was very shocked in his heart, he looked at the clothes of these people, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "All good men spare their lives, poor monks are just ......"

However, before he had finished speaking, he saw the man who had taken him in the lead and said to one of them, "My lord, the man has been caught." ”

As soon as he heard this, Fan Gou suddenly thundered like five thunderbolts, if the people in the rivers and lakes were good to say, if they smashed it with money, maybe they could smash it out of peace. But this adult, but the identity of these people was revealed, and they turned out to be officials.

The things on his body were presented, Fan Gou was desperate, and said with a hope of one in ten thousand: "This adult, the villain is also forced to do things, as long as you can let me go, how much money you want, this is better than you for ......a lifetime."

He was thinking that if there was a letter stating that the money was so large that even a person in the government might be able to buy it.

However, before he finished his words, he saw the person who was reading the letter, suddenly slapped the letter paper, and was overjoyed: "Confirm that it is correct, that Fan Wencheng dog thief is in the temple, this is the letter he wrote to the slave chief." Hehe, this time our Jinyiwei finally caught someone before Dongchang......"

Fan Gou couldn't hear the latter words clearly, because, when he understood that these officials in front of him were actually Jinyiwei, he knew that his last glimmer of hope was gone.

Jinyiwei is the emperor's own army. If it's just one or two, there's still hope for buying. But such a large group of brocade guards are categorically impossible to be bought.

When Hou San on the side heard it, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and exclaimed: "Big brother, have you heard it in the spirit of the sky, those thieves who killed you have now been caught." That night, you would rather die for your little brother, and you opened your eyes angrily when you were dying, but now, you can look at it! ”

Jinyi Wei Baihu was in a good mood, seeing that Hou San was sick and insisted on going to various places to recognize the thief, he was really moved in his heart, so he said to him: "Don't worry, this time you caught Fan Wencheng's gang of traitors, your credit is not small, this official will play truthfully and present it to the emperor." ”

After that, they began to interrogate Fan Gou and the others. The bones of the two of them are not as tough as strong men, Jin Yiwei just used a little means, and they recruited whatever they wanted.

In the temple, Fan Wencheng almost spent an all-night to finish the letter to Huang Taiji, and when he was just lying on the bed and wanted to close his eyes, he was so silent, suddenly, the door of the wing room was suddenly kicked open, and a big man used it in. Even if Fan Wencheng boasted of being both civil and military, he suddenly hugged a large group of big men, and immediately pressed him on the bed like an arhat, and even almost pressed his out, and only after tying him up in a strong knot did he get out of bed.

Fan Wencheng no longer had the demeanor of a lupine scarf at this time, his face was panicked, and he stammered: "You guys...... Who are you? The poor monk has not sinned against you......"

It's really too ferocious, and he has never seen such a scene after reading too many books. There was some clear despair in my heart, but also a little bit of luck.

"Haven't you offended?" Jinyi Wei Baihu sneered and said, "You offended your ancestors, offended the people of the Ming Dynasty, offended the emperor, you who have forgotten your ancestors, and helped to abuse, Fan Wencheng!" ”

As soon as he heard that even his name was called, even Fan Wencheng was paralyzed. Because he knew that the things he had done fell into the hands of Ming Guo, and it was completely over.

Emperor Chongzhen learned the news of Fan Wencheng's capture alive through the chat group at the first time, and immediately sent a decree to escort these traitors into Beijing. At the same time, after knowing the merits of Hou San and others, he added a holy decree and let Hou San enter Beijing together.

Exiting the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing, thinking in his heart, this dog traitor, caught at this time, just in time for the ceremony he was preparing. This must be the wish of those souls who died by him in the underworld, right?

On his side, there is good news one after another, but on the side of King Dongwu Talong, there is bad news one after another.

In the past year, he has been bent on implementing the New Deal, but it has always backfired, and various places, especially in the northern regions, have always been against him. Flat wave after wave. What he was most concerned about was the constant emergence of fleeing among the Ahmudans. These are the basis of his rule, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big problem. Therefore, it can be said that during this year, his energy was mainly focused on Ahmudan.

But this is not over, now he is furious in the main hall, and bad news from the north is coming one after another. First, the Ming army raided, Mubang was lost, and then the entire Mubang area fell in a short time. Then Mengmi, Mengyang and other places were also declared lost. The Ming army moved together on the entire northern line almost at the same time, without even giving him time to react.

Actually, if it's just that, it's nothing. After all, these places were originally the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and they were taken away before, and now they are lost. However, the Ava region he cared about the most was now exposed to the Ming army. It is the most important grain producing area in Dongwu. Originally, he had already made plans to move the capital to Ava in the next two years, because it was very important.

Ava must not fall into the hands of the Ming army! King Talong broke another cup and swore in his heart. Although he placed heavy troops there, he also had henchmen to guard it. However, Ming Guo was definitely menacing this time, and it turned out that Mu Bang, Meng Mi and Meng Yang were on the same line almost at the same time. He was very worried that Ava would also be taken by the Ming army.

He had always had military power, and it was because of this that he was able to take the throne from his nephew. If you really want to talk about it, he can be regarded as a promising king in the history of Donggo. It's just a pity that in this plane, he was affected by butterfly wings.

Although he didn't know how many troops the Ming Kingdom had attacked, King Ta Long had prepared for the worst. It can be said that he was the soldier of the whole country, and all artillerymen, sailors, elephant soldiers, infantry, archers, round shield soldiers, long shield soldiers, palace guards, and Shan soldiers all went with him.

In fact, it is also, if he fails, he will be in such a small place, and it is not comparable to the Ming Kingdom, and there is no place to escape. This kind of war, for the Ming Kingdom, may be just a war on the frontier, but for him, it is a battle for the country!

King Talong is also ruthless, just like the previous kings of Dongwu, he is the most wary of the Han people. Together with the war in the Ming Kingdom, he immediately issued an order to arrest all the Ming people in the Ava region, take them to the river to kill, and then push them into the river.

Suddenly, the lower reaches of the Dajinsha River almost became the red Dajinsha River. The misery of the Ming people, once again, under the butcher's knife of the aliens, blood spilled on the earth.

The new policy of King Talong, along with this war, was almost completely nullified, and the whole country of Dongwu immediately entered a state of war. But when King Lunlong's army entered the city of Ava, he was relieved, and finally arrived before the Ming army attacked.

King Talong was also accustomed to fighting, so he immediately sent a scout horse to the north to constantly listen to the movements of the Ming army. After more than half a month, the situation of the Ming army was finally clear.

It's okay to not know, but after figuring it out, King Long suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Because he found that the Ming army did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but stationed it after conquering the northern region, and made a show there to settle the people, apparently intending to stay for a long time.

The army was stationed in the north, and could move south at any time, and the terrain was convenient, and if it attacked Ava, it would be like a commanding position. In this way, the pressure on the Ava region can be imagined!

For King Talong, he can't afford this war. Although the Ming army did not attack south, he did not dare to withdraw his troops. But the whole country's army is gathered in Ava, and the logistical pressure is also very large, and the consumption of Dongwu's national strength is also very large, which he does not want to see.

So, while continuing to spy on the news, he thought hard about the best plan.

Not to mention, he is worthy of being the famous King of Talong in history, and this strategy of the Ming army was really found by him in a fatal place!
