Thank you to all the brothers for their support. )

Tongjiang City, the prefect's yamen on the ground of Kemu Mountain.

In the back hall, the atmosphere was very tense, and there were more than a dozen generals with armor sitting on the chairs on both sides, and on the right hand side, there was an old man with gray hair.

Santo was pacing anxiously in the hall.

The attack of the Wu Yi army came so quickly that it was unguarded, without any warning beforehand, almost overnight, when the soldiers of the wooden guards climbed to the top of the city in the early morning, they suddenly found that countless snow-white mushroom-like tents had been built outside the city.

Wu Yi's army approached the city.

But Muwei's military report has reached Tongjiang City, and the number of Wu Yi's troops who came to attack is unknown, but it should not exceed 50,000. This news made the high-level people in Tongjiang City breathe a long sigh of relief, but the wooden acropolis is high and deep, the defenders have reached tens of thousands, and the equipment and baggage in the city are also very sufficient. As the saying goes, ten attacks are made, and there is not much difference between the number of Wu Yi Army and the defenders in the city, even if Wu Yi Army is famous, it is impossible to capture the city if it can fight like this!

"Guys, is there any good way to make Wu Yijun retreat?" Santo stood still, glanced around the hall, and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the old man above.

The old man was very thin, an old face was like dead tree bark, although it was already a very warm weather in spring, he was still wrapped in a thick leather robe, seeing that everyone was looking at him, his eyes flashed a trace of triumph, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "My lord." And there's no hurry. We have a large number of soldiers and plenty of food and grass, and for a while, Wu Yijun will definitely have nothing to do with us. ”

"Sang Lao, I know this, but I can't help it for a while, it doesn't mean that I will never be able to! What if Wu Yijun really besieges us like this and traps us to death? But there is a lot of food in Ganymede. There will always be a day when you will finish eating! There was a hint of anxiety on Santo's countenance.

"No, it won't. Your Excellency, you're worried. Nasang Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I dare to conclude that they will not besiege the city for more than two months!" ”

"Two months?" Santo's eyes lit up: "Why did Sang Lao teach me?" ”

Old God Sang mysteriously stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the north, and said, "Don't forget, Xi Shenwei is north." But next to the three surnamed Jurchens! The last time they suffered such a big loss under the Xishen Acropolis, how can they give up this year, they will definitely come to fight! The Jurchens are powerful, and if Lian Zining doesn't want Xishenwei to lose, he must transfer these troops back, and at that time. But won't the siege of Ganymede be solved by itself? ”

"Sang Lao, why did Wu Yibo send troops to attack us? Isn't that useless? One of the generals asked.

"You!" Sang Lao stretched out his finger and pointed at him, with an expression of hatred: "Since you were a child, you didn't know how to study hard, and you even have to ask this kind of question?" Isn't that obvious? He acted like this in order to force us to mess up, in fact, he had nothing to do with us, but once we were in chaos. He had a chance. So, now we have to adapt to all changes with the same. Just spend it with him like this, see who can afford it! ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and let out such an exclamation in unison, Sang Lao obviously enjoyed this gaze very much, stroked his beard, and had an expression of wisdom beads in his hands.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and a general flag officer ran in a panic, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said loudly: "My lord, it's not good, the Suli River guard is lost." ”

"Oh, the Suri Guards are lost...... Santo didn't react at first: "What? The Suri River Guard is lost? ”

His face immediately became extremely gloomy, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed the general flag that reported the news by the collar, and shouted: "How is it possible? To the east of Suli Hewei is the Asu River, surrounded by dense forests, how did those Wu Yi troops come over? Could it be that they are all flyers? Did General Asujiang send troops? Say! ”

The general flag swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said with a smile: "It's not General Asujiang who sent troops, and I don't know the specific situation, the person who escaped from Suli Hewei is outside the mansion, do you want to see it?" ”

After the three tattered and haggard Jurchen defeated soldiers in front of them finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more deadly silent.

It turned out to be a wild girl? This is an answer that no one expected, their own army is gathering the wild Jurchen tribes in the great forest, although it has been a long time since there has been no news back, but no one thinks that they are in danger. Originally, everyone was still counting on bringing back a wild Jurchen army from the forest, and even some of them were anxious to start planning to fight for control of this army, but they didn't expect that unconsciously, the wild Jurchen had all taken refuge in the Wu Yi Army! And also knocked down the Suri River Guard!

For these dogs who specialize in burrowing into wild forests, what is it to travel hundreds of miles of dense forest?

It's like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, smashing everyone in the hall.

At this time, there were dense footsteps outside, and it was still the general flag just now, who came in with a sad face, kneeling on the ground and raising a bamboo tube in his hand: "My lord, but Muwei has an urgent military report!" ”

Everyone's hearts are all in one place, what's the matter?

Waving his hand to let the irrelevant retreat, Santo's face sank like water, opened the bamboo tube, took out a piece of paper from it, read it in three lines and two lines, glanced at everyone, and his face was even more ugly: "Everyone, but the Mu Wei Army reported that Wu Yijun pulled out the camp and moved in the direction of Tongjiang City." ”

Everyone froze in unison, and their chests seemed to be pressed against a big stone, and they couldn't breathe.

There are no idiots here, and such a simple military strategy can still be understood.

There are only three strategically valuable boundaries on the ground of Kemu Mountain, and Suli Hewei has fallen into the hands of people, and now Wu Yi's army has abandoned Kemuwei and moved eastward, there is no doubt that it is coming to attack Tongjiang City.

The three cities on the ground of Kemu Mountain, each other's horns, were originally impregnable, each other's Austrian aid, and now as soon as the Suli River Guard is broken, the situation immediately repeats, and the Wu Yi army can advance east and west together to besiege Tongjiang City.

Now it seems. Wu Yijun clearly fought this idea!

And the most terrible thing is that Tongjiang City can't help fighting! Tongjiang City is the capital, not a fortress, the city is not as high and deep as Kemuwei, the grain and grass equipment are not as sufficient as Kemuwei, and even the guards are less than half of Kemuwei!

In the 52 years since entering Zhengde, Wu Yijun has won successive battles. The name of good war. These days have spread throughout the Guanwai, especially the artillery is extremely powerful, they are not sure of attacking Kemuwei, but if they fight Tongjiang City, those who are not sure will be replaced by the side defending the city.

"Sang Lao. What shall we do? Santo stared at Sang Lao with blazing eyes, his military talent was quite average, and the current situation made him at a loss, so he could only turn to the wisest old man in the original tribe for help.

Sang Lao stroked his beard and groaned silently.

A quick-tempered general hurriedly said, "My lord, why don't we transfer Kemuwei's soldiers back?" ”

"Search for ideas!" Before Santo could speak, Sang Lao sneered: "If the general of the Wu Yi Army has a little brain. I can think of this, if I were them, I would volley halfway! But the reinforcements transferred by Mu Wei are afraid that they will all go to see the king of Hades before they arrive in Tongjiang City. ”

The general was choked with red faces, touched his nose and stopped talking.

"Sang Lao, have you thought of it?" Santo said hurriedly.

"The only way to do it now is to take it by surprise." Sang Lao stroked his beard. With a solemn face, he said: "The Wu Yi army is the Suli River Guard that was broken through yesterday, and the time when the Wu Yi army besieging Kemuwei was pulled out of the camp as shown in the military report was also yesterday. In such a short period of time, they obviously can't communicate with each other, the only explanation is that this is a predetermined plan, and they also have absolute confidence in themselves, Suri Hewei will definitely be able to fight! ”

Sang Lao gasped: "Wu Yijun, these madmen! ”

"The march of the army is no better than the messenger, and the Wuyi army is more than a foot soldier, and it will take at least seven or eight days from Kemuwei to Tongjiang City, but those wild girl mongrels are all cavalry, which is faster, but it will take at least three days. That's a time for us to prepare. My lord, in my opinion, the only way we can do it now is," he took a deep breath: "Abandon Tongjiang City, and the army will go to Kemuwei!" ”

"What?" Many people exclaimed.

"What are you talking about? I'm not old yet! Sang Lao said angrily: "This is the only way, Wu Yijun never imagined that instead of transferring troops from Kemuwei, we ran to Kemuwei." ”

"What about security?"

"As long as we are secretive, we can avoid it completely. Besides, we are all cavalry, light and simple, and each of us only brings the closest family members and some softness, and we are not afraid that they will catch up. ”

Santo was silent, contemplating the feasibility of the issue.

Finally, he suddenly stood up and said, "Just do what Sang Lao wants, trap in the lonely city, sit still, it's not a way!" We must strictly keep secrets, don't leak them to anyone, secretly gather troops, clean up the soft, and when the day after tomorrow, we will set off! Pay special attention to those Han servants, don't let them know, leave an army to keep an eye on them! ”

"Yes!" The crowd responded and dispersed in a hurry.

Sang Lao sat in a soft sedan chair, surrounded by dozens of slaves, and returned home with great pomp.

He was originally a witch doctor in the Jianzhou Jurchen Guerjia clan, but he failed to pass on the ability to treat smallpox, but grew up on the ground of the Han people since he was a child and learned a lot of sinology. Santo also has other generals in the clan, most of whom he has raised by hand, so he has a high prestige in the clan. After the Guerjia clan returned to the imperial court, he also lost his original privileges, but he was just an ordinary Jurchen old man who opened a school in the city and taught for a living. Later, Santo rebelled and respected him as a military advisor, and at this time the tide rose, and he took the mansion of a wealthy Han merchant in the most prosperous part of the city as his own, and by the way, he also took over his slaves and concubines.

Tongjiang City has gradually recovered from the ransacking frenzy of Santo's rebellion, after all, it is a large port with a population of more than 100,000 people, and it has regained its former prosperity. Sitting in the soft sedan chair, the more Sang Lao looked at it, the more upset he became, thinking that these prosperity would soon not be the wealth in his hands, his heart was panicked, and he thought that people would rob it fiercely, but he also knew that the overall situation was important and he couldn't leak the news.

All the way back to the mansion, the soft sedan chair was carried straight into the second door, and immediately a group of subordinates greeted them, and the best Persian red carpet was spread straight from the door of the flower hall to the front, and the soft sedan car fell to the ground, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, very clever little guy knelt in front of the soft sedan chair, and his back was flat into a straight line. The two maids helped Sang Lao out of the soft sedan chair, and Sang Lao stepped on the back of the little guy as a footstep. Got off the ground.

"Master, which ladies will sleep today?" The butler came to his feet and asked with a flattering face.

These days, more than a dozen concubines of the rich merchant have let him go through them one by one, and a pear tree pressed the begonias, so he is not happy. Of course, there is also a fierce life and death disobedience, and Sang Lao gathered everyone in the mansion and raped her in front of everyone. Then he was whipped alive with a snakeskin whip. No one will dare to disobey anymore.

"None of them!" Sang Lao waved his hand irritably: "Immediately pack up the fine and soft cars in the house, collect all the family, and recover all the debts that have been put out, as long as the cash." ”

"Tidy up?" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to say something. was glared at by Sang Lao's cold gaze, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.

"What's wordy, if you are told to go, you will go, get out!" Sang Lao scolded coldly, turned around and entered the flower hall.

Seeing that the old man was angry, everyone was silent. They all obeyed the orders to pack up their things.

The little guy who was a footstep for him rolled his eyes, stood up, walked to the side as if no one was around, and then took advantage of the lack of attention, and quickly went out of the house through the side door.

He is the son of the woman who was whipped to death after being raped by Sang Lao, the original young master of this mansion, but now. These are no longer the case.

Outside the side door of the mansion is a very prosperous alley, and there are candy people inside. There are many people who sell pastries, steamed steamed buns, and jugglers. The little man walked around to an oil seller's stall, argued with the vendor in what seemed to be a low voice, and then went to a few more stalls, bought nothing, and left.

Not long after he left, the oil seller left in a hurry.

Good water river, west to Tongjiang City one hundred and nine miles.

Here is a low gentle slope, the area is vast, not far below the gentle slope is a huge lake, or to describe it more accurately with a swamp wetland, the water depth is less than one person, feasible boats, the lake is more than 100 miles in circumference, the area is vast, it is full of reeds and dwarf trees, the water is sweet, and it can be drunk.

Hence the name Good Water River.

The fish and shrimp are abundant in the good water river, the lake is densely populated, there are hundreds of villages, the population is more than 100,000, the people cultivate fields along the lake, and often fish and touch the shrimp, and the life is very rich.

The 26,000 troops of the Wu Yi Army's Western Route Army were stationed here, and white tents were spread out on the turquoise hillside until the horizon.

The periphery of the barracks was very lively, noisy and shouting, and when the people heard that it was Wu Yijun coming, they were all overjoyed, and they took out the little food they had at home to work for the army. Xiong Tingbi had no choice but to order to accept it.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiong Tingbi is standing in front of a large map and watching carefully.

The voice of the soldier came from outside: "My lord, Wang Qianhu is here." ”

"Please!" Xiong Tingbi turned around and greeted him.

Wang Posan pushed the door in, and a military salute went down: "I have seen the commander under the mark." ”

However, intelligence is extremely important in all marching operations, so there are officers from MI6 stationed in the army, who are always responsible for the intelligence of the operation. Wang Posan followed Xiong Tingbi this time.

Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to take this MI6 cadre, so he quickly helped him up and said, "Excuse me, Wang Qianhu is here, but there is news over there?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Posan said excitedly: "There is news from Tongjiang City that Santo is going to take people to escape, the time is the day after tomorrow, the details are not very clear, but it must be a night operation." The target is Woody! ”

"Okay, this news is too timely, and I can't change my daughter!" Xiong Tingbi was shocked when he heard this, patted Wang Posan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "This time, MI6 has made another great contribution." ”

Wang Po said: "The adult is overrated. ”

"Looks like Santo has smart people under him! I didn't even expect this move. Come! Convene all the guards to discuss the affairs in the envoys' tents! ”

On the sixth day of the fifth month, at the end of the month.

The sun rose early in the northeast, and at this time, the sun had already risen, and a large fiery red ball hung in the sky in the far east.

The line of sight is not very bright, and it is a little dim, and the sky and the earth are faintly gray.

A large team squirmed the ground.

The procession stretched for two or three miles, with hundreds of carts in the middle and a huge cavalry force of about 10,000 on the periphery.

It was evident that the cart was heavy, and the contents were high and like a hill, and the wheels had sunk deep into the mud because of the weight. The tired cart stalled for a while. The coachman shook his whip vigorously, and the horse pulled forward vigorously, and the fur was already strangled with red blood by the leather rope, and the cart still did not move.

Some cavalrymen were helping to pull the carts out of the mud, and some of the carts were filled with the cries of women and the cries of babies.

The team was too large, and the speed of the whole team was ridiculously slow due to the heavy carts that filled it. It's almost one step at a time. If you look at it from above. It felt like an overgrown caterpillar struggling to move forward on the green grass.

Santo watched this scene with a gloomy face, not saying a word.

Although he was talking about only soft and close family members, it was clear that none of these generals really did this. These carts were piled up with the belongings and women they had been looting these days. These poor and frightened Jurchens have a small family style that is difficult to change, and they will not give up anything at hand.

As a direct consequence of this, the team marched at an outrageously slow pace. They had left the city at midnight the previous night, and had planned that four hours had passed, and that they should have arrived at Komuwei by this time, but in fact they were only halfway there.

Santo couldn't say anything yet, because twenty percent of these carts belonged to him. It contained more than thirty of his concubines and family property worth more than 300,000 taels of silver. Among them, there are more than 1,000 fine silk alone!

"Your Excellency. It's already a good water river ahead. "The soldiers came to report.

"Got to the good water river? Good! Very good! Hearing this, Santo breathed a sigh of relief.

The ground of Kemu Mountain is flat and endless, and there is not much dangerous terrain, especially the route he chose, when he reaches the Haoshui River, and then goes to the Kemuwei is a flat river, so he doesn't have to worry about the enemy ambush.

It's a little slower, but it's good to be able to rub it slowly.

The team continued to rub forward little by little, and after a while, a large piece of water appeared in front of them, at this time, the red sun finally erupted, the red light cleared all the dirt and chaos, the heaven and the earth were clear, the sun was sprinkled on the water, and the reflection was the golden snake Wandao.

It's just that the scenery is beautiful, but these deserters don't have the heart to appreciate it - after arriving in the Lake District, it becomes more and more difficult. The ground near the Kosui River has been soaked in abundant groundwater for a long time, and it is very soft and full of water, and such a ground is used for walking, which makes people feel miserable.

One after another, a large cart fell into the earth, and after a while, the bottom of the deep rut mark was oozing water, and suddenly the place became a muddy pond, and half of the wheels of the cart were stuck in it, and there was no way to get it out.

"Get it out for me! Fuck, you shit! A big cart in Sang's house got stuck in the mud, and in a hurry, he jumped to his feet and yelled at the slaves. The blood spray head scolded by those subordinates dragged out with all the strength of their bodies, but the car was loaded with two large silver boxes, each of which was 30,000 taels of silver, only a lot more, how could it be pulled by manpower alone?

Sang Lao's eyes rolled, dragged over a general flag officer next to him, and said, "You, come here, take your soldiers, and pull this car out for me!" ”

How dare a general flag not listen to his words? I had to secretly scream and start towing with my brothers.

When the others saw it, their eyes lit up, and their hearts were right, what do you need to do with so much idle labor? So, under the order of the officer, the cavalrymen dismounted, put the reins on the horses, and dragged the carriage outward.

In this way, the speed of the march of the team immediately increased a lot, but the cavalry team, which was originally built into a large scale, was also divided into pieces.

Santo's instinctive feeling seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't bear the belongings, and just urged loudly: "Hurry, hurry!" ”

After moving forward for more than ten miles, Sang Lao's silver car, which had been devastated by mud and water, finally couldn't bear it, and with a click, the wheel broke.

The housekeeper glanced at it, and said with a sad face: "Master, this car is not done." ”

Sang Lao scolded: "Don't hurry up and carry the silver box to another car." ”

The housekeeper whispered: "Master, our car is full, and we can't stuff it any more." Or, ask someone to borrow a car? ”

"Then where can I borrow it, let others borrow it, and when I get to the land, I can't tell whose it is." Sang Le categorically rejected the idea, thought about it, and said, "Go, drive the eighth child down, let her go, and vacate her car to put the box." (To be continued)
