Chapter 425: It's hard to say whether it's joy or sorrow

Smoke and dust are billowing and thousands of horses are galloping. [Full text reading]

Yang Haoran knew that the situation was serious, and he had a friendship with Ma Ang first, so he brought out all the cavalry under his command, and there were more than 3,000 people.

In order to catch up with the crows as soon as possible, he also scraped the war horses of Liaoyang City almost empty, basically maintaining one person and two horses, and after converging the five hundred crows, there were nearly 4,000 cavalry, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Because they were in a hurry, there were no threatening enemies on the left, so no scouts were sent out on either side, so no one noticed that on a hill in the distance, there were more than 100 cavalry looking over here.

"Master Hou, this thing seems to be a little wrong, why is that Yang Haoran so familiar with the road? Without even needing my secret message, they went straight to the stockade. ”

The monkey followed Hachi and others all the way to find the other party's lair, and also left a secret note to the crow all the way, but he soon found the problem, at the beginning it was the crow again, but the one who led the way quickly became Yang Haoran, looking at the direction of the other party's travel, but he went straight to the village, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"What's this, that Yang Shen General is also a hereditary general, very familiar with the geography of Liaodong, and a belligerent, I heard that his grandfather also participated in the battle to exterminate Dong Mountain during the Chenghua period. Such a person will be familiar with the terrain near Jianzhou, which is also a proper meaning. Xie Hong smiled slightly.

Yang Haoran was his first harvest when he came to Liaodong, and it was also an unexpected joy. At the beginning, I just felt that this person had a small stomach and a good status, and it was a good target worth working hard to win over.

But what Xie Hong didn't expect was that the effect was as good as it is now. The midnight system is far away in the capital, and the intelligence of Liaozhen was collected by the crow after Xie Hong arrived in Liaodong, and the main source of intelligence for the crow is Yang Haoran's big mouth.

The Yang family has a lot of power in Liaozhen, and Han Fu relies on Yang Haoran as an arm to help him win over the other party and strengthen his own momentum. Therefore, although the latter is a person who does not care much, he is also aware of the various origins and allusions of Liao Town.

And this person doesn't have any concept of secrecy in his heart, a few bowls of spirits are in his stomach, whether it is his own or someone else's, he dares to say anything, and most of the pro-soldiers in this guy also have this temper.

As a result, the crow's intelligence work was carried out extremely smoothly, and the reason why Xie Hong was able to accurately see people and prescribe drugs was that the root cause had to be counted on Yang Haoran.

And this time it's even more exaggerated.

According to Xie Hong's plan, Ma Ang passed by the General Military Mansion with great fanfare, and then went out of the city, mainly to leave an introduction and make everyone know about his hunting out of the city.

As for whether Yang Haoran will catch up and how many people he will bring when he catches up, Xie Hong is not very sure, after all, he has only met the other party once, and the rest of the cognition is obtained from the letterhead.

The worst result is, of course, that the other party does not dispatch, but that doesn't matter, as long as the news spreads, it's okay, five hundred border troops plus five hundred firecrackers, it's still easy to attack the unprepared stockade.

"Master Hou, since you have calculated that he will come, why do you want me to keep an eye on it, those barbarians are ghostly, and they have almost been discovered several times. They can't hurt me, but what if you alarm them and let them run? ”

Xie Hong spread his hands and said, "Where can it be calculated so accurately?" I thought it would be good if he could bring out a thousand people, but I didn't think that there were such a simple person, and he actually poured out of the nest. Alas, what Brother Wu said in his letter was too conservative. ”

Xie Hong really didn't expect that the other party not only pulled out all the cavalry under his command, but also was extremely familiar with the nearby geography, looking at the smoke and dust billowing away, he could only be sure of one thing, that is, this time the harvest was probably more than expected.

"It's not that Brother Wu is conservative, Brother Yang said that Han Fu had a strict order before leaving, so he couldn't easily move troops...... Actually, this is all the friendship between our brothers, Brother Yang is really righteous. Ma Ang, who was supposed to be missing, was next to Xie Hong, and he sighed for a long time, expressing his deep gratitude to Yang Haoran for his brotherly righteousness.

"Then again, Brother Xie, what do you mean by this sheep shearing plan? Could it be that you want to rob the Jurchens? After some emotion, Maang asked.

He knew the name of the plan and the steps to implement it, but the part related to him was only until he left the city, and he was also curious about the changes that followed.

"That's right, the wool comes out of the sheep, the big fist is the wolf, the weak is the sheep, isn't this the rule in the border towns and grasslands? Let's open up Liaodong lacks cattle and horses, there are just a lot of them here in Jianzhou, who will they rob if they don't rob? Well, by the way, you can also grab some ration seeds and the like, which is a great thing to count in one fell swoop. Xie Hong said in a tone that he should have.

"That's it, that's it, not to mention that they made the first move, if it weren't for Brother Xie to let the monkey pretend to be you, and hired dozens of North Koreans as his entourage, then it would be you, Brother Ma, who died. What is this called? By the way, people don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, come out to grab it, and sooner or later it will have to be returned. Jiang Bin nodded his head and expressed his deep admiration for Xie Hong's words.

"After all, it's still not good, it seems to be against the teachings of the saints......" Ma Ang followed Tang Bohu to read for a while, and he also received a lot of edification in the capital, and he was still a little resistant to robbery.

"Actually, it's not," Xie Hong shook his head, making a compassionate gesture: "Robbing the Jurchens, of course, is it a comedy for the people of Liaozhen, expanding its influence, and laying an economic foundation for the Ming Dynasty to shock the world; It may be a tragedy for the Jurchen people, but history develops in multiple dimensions, and it is difficult to say sad or happy about this matter. ”

The words of "......" are too profound, Jiang Bin and the others all look at each other, I don't know why, grab it, grab it, why do you come up with so many inexplicable words?

After a long while, Ma Ang opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Xie, what are you talking about?" I don't seem to understand. ”

"Actually, I didn't understand it myself,...... Xie Hong muttered to himself, and then raised his voice and said: "Actually, it's very simple, to open up Liaodong, you need animal power and manpower, and the Liaodong generals have some in their hands, but the gap is still very big, what should I do?" Of course, only the fastest to grab, who makes us poor? If you don't have it, grab it, isn't this the rule of the grassland? ”

He pointed to the place where the tragedy occurred in the distance, "In addition, we still have to cut wood and build ships in Changbai Mountain, but you have also seen today's events, there are these guys patrolling the mountains and forests, can we rest assured that we will cut wood?" Therefore, it is necessary to kill them and rob their livestock, and by the way, catch some more people to cut down and mine, and even save a lot of manpower. ”

The corners of Xie Hong's mouth twitched, revealing an unfathomable smile: "Brother Ma, you must know that this is called national integration, and the difference is only who robs and who is robbed, haha." ”

He laughed heartily, Jiang Bin and the others also agreed, and Ma Ang was not a real scholar after all, and there were not so many rules and regulations in his mind, although he couldn't figure out what national integration was, it didn't prevent him from feeling the joy of his companions, so he also laughed.

The laughter gathered together, echoed in the quiet mountains and forests, and startled countless birds.

…… The crow and Yang Haoran were moving even more, and of course there were more birds, beasts and people alarmed.

The Jianzhou Jurchens belonged to a primitive tribe of semi-farming, half-fishing and hunting, and most of their villages were also selected in flat places, and the surrounding areas were farmland, and grazing and hunting went further.

The village where Hachi is located is close to the Yalu River, so the usual level of vigilance is also very high, and it is so close to the long-cherished enemy North Koreans, how can you not be vigilant? Therefore, when the huge cavalry queue of the Ming army was still far away, the stockade was already surprised.

"Go and report to the patriarch, there are cavalry, cavalry brigades! Those who came from the south went straight to our stockade! Noor, who was in charge of the guard, shouted hoarsely, his voice full of fear.

He couldn't be afraid, he was used to seeing cavalry, most of the time, he could identify the number of the other party from the smoke and dust, but the scene in front of him made him feel terrified, he couldn't identify how many cavalry there were, because he had never seen such a large cavalry team, obviously not as simple as a few hundred.

He was not very old, and he had not experienced the tragedy of that year, but from the few old people who survived, it was a similar scene at that time, except that it was not cavalry, and the direction was different, but the number was more.

And since the Jurchens settled, the most tragic experience was caused by those people, and now, is that tragedy going to be repeated?

After a short time, the old patriarch hurriedly went up to the wall, but when he looked out, he couldn't stand steadily, and sat on the ground, trembling all over, and muttered: "Cavalry, there are thousands...... What the hell is this ......?"

"Patriarch ......" heard the warning signal, Hachi and other young men also went to the wall, ready to participate in the defense, seeing this and hurriedly stepped forward to help, although the patriarch is old, but it is the backbone of the village, but you must not break the momentum first.

"Hachi, tell me honestly, are the gang you robbed Han or not, did you go to the south?" The old patriarch's eyes were already cloudy, but his eyes were sharp, and he stared at Hachi for a moment, and asked sharply.

"Patriarch, Hachi dares to swear to Changshengtian, I haven't gone down the mountain for a single step, that group of people must also be Koreans, before they started to kill, they all shouted and begged for mercy, it is Korean, not Chinese!"

"And you tell me? Why did the Ming army come here? So much more? The patriarch roared angrily, he pointed to the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer, and said: "Look at this smoke and dust, there are thousands of cavalry, and the dust and smoke are rising, not chaotic at all, it is obviously an elite cavalry, and then there is a direction...... How can it be North Koreans? ”

Ha Chi said fiercely with red eyes: "What about the Ming army, what's the big deal?" They can't beat the Mongols, and they can't beat us either, patriarch, just watch, let's defeat them here first, and then go to Liaodong to rob them! ”
