"Why does this woman seem to have something on her mind?"

"Oh? Don't you have the heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? Otherwise, how can you see that people have something on their minds? Ye Dacheng said with a smile.

"Ye Dusi is talking nonsense, I have a mother-in-law at home!" Ah Gui replied with some embarrassment.

"What about having a mother-in-law? Which family doesn't have a mother-in-law here? Ye Dacheng laughed: "Seeing that he is about to fight with Dongyu, no one knows if he can go back alive, who doesn't have the mind of being happy for a day?" Brother, if you fall in love with this woman, I will open my mouth to the ancestor for you, and with the credit of your birth and death, the chief soldier will never refuse! ”

Ah Gui was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he heard Zu Dashou shouting loudly above: "Ah Guiqian, has Ye Dacheng arrived?" He hurriedly stood up, took two steps forward and knelt down, and said, "The last general will see the chief soldier!" “

"Hmm!" Zu Dashou had already had a few drinks with several deputy commanders and generals beside him, and there was already a little bit of alcohol on his face, he stroked his beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Today, the two of you led the troops to defeat the ambush soldiers of Dongyu, and you are meritorious ministers, and the general soldiers want to reward you, say, what do you two like in this hall, you can speak!" “

Ah Gui was very unfamiliar with this kind of scene, so much so that he replied a little awkwardly: "Tell Zu Shuai, the villain has already received the reward." ”

Zu Dashou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed: "You are an honest man, you just received a public reward, and now the general soldier himself wants to reward you, there are two things, you just have to open your mouth." “

Seeing this, Ye Dacheng on the side was afraid that Ah Gui would say something stupid again, so he hurriedly grabbed the interface and said, "Zu Shuai, this guy is quite interested in that green-clothed beauty." “

"Oh?" Zu Dashou looked in the direction of Ye Dacheng's finger and laughed: "Ah Gui, you have passed the siege of the Tartars, but you can't pass this beauty, it is really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass!" Well, this general soldier will be an adult today. Give it to you. Gui, you have to treat her well! “

Ah Guigang wanted to open his mouth to distinguish it, but was grabbed by Ye Dacheng and said in a low voice: "The chief soldier has spoken, you are not grateful!" Others also spoke up to praise Zu Dashou for spending money like dirt, Corporal Lixian, having the style of an ancient good general, Zu Dashou was surrounded in it, and it was too late for Ah Gui to say more. After a while, the woman in green changed her clothes and stood beside Ah Gui with a package in her hand. looks like a concubine.

"Ye Dusi, what are you calling me for?" Arguidon Footpath.

Ye Dacheng smiled: "Hehe, the beauty is hugging you and don't thank me, Ah Gui, you are really ungrateful!" ”

"The Tartars outside the city are surrounded by several times, and when their lives are at stake, what kind of beauty do you say in the siege?"

"Gui!" Ye Dacheng: "The ancestral army is in the city, Inspector Sun will definitely raise a large army to help, we should cooperate with the outside." I'm sure I'll be able to break the encirclement of the Tartars, you're thinking too much, so you have to be happy and happy! “

Ah Gui saw the appearance of the generals in the hall drinking and having fun, and sighed: "This is what it looks like." Where is the war? ”

Out of the ancestral mansion, Ah Gui said to the woman behind him: "You have relatives in the city who can go to, I will send you back." ”

"You're going to let me go?" There was a look of disbelief in the woman's eyes.

"Is that nature?" Ah Gui smiled bitterly: "I have a mother-in-law at home, and Fang is my friend's nonsense." Don't blame the offended girl! ”

"I'm not a girl, call me Abi!" The woman's face turned slightly red, and she said in a low voice, "Although I still have relatives in the city. But there is no way back. “

"Why do you say that?"

Abi's face suddenly turned pale, her teeth clenched, and she replied after a while: "Now that the city is like this, how can I go back?" “

Ah Gui immediately understood what the other party meant, it is true that at the moment in the city, even if she is a weak woman is sent home, she is afraid that there will be no way to live, it is better to follow Ah Gui, Qiu Ba, maybe there is another way to live. Rao is heart has long been like iron and stone after a hundred battles, and Ah Gui couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, then you can follow me!" “

Houjin army camp, sweat tent.

Fan Wencheng hurriedly came to the sweat tent, only to see two Balaya guards standing at the door of the tent with knives, and the head of the guards on duty, Ji Bilong, was patrolling back and forth, Fan Wencheng hurriedly stopped, lowered his voice and asked, "Has the Great Khan rested?" ”

"Hmm!" Kubilong nodded, he is the sixteenth son of Eyidu, one of the five ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, and his mother is the daughter of Nurhachi and the fourth princess of Heshuo, and in terms of kinship, he is the nephew of Huang Taiji, and he is from the Yellow Banner led by the Great Khan. He knew that although Fan Wencheng was a Han and his official position was not high at that time, he was a confidant whom the Great Khan trusted very much, so he replied quite politely: "Mr. Fan, the Great Khan went to inspect the moats and walls in the west early this morning, and he just came back, and he just came back after eating a few bites of food and lying down to rest, you can come back later!" ”

"That's a bit of a coincidence!" Fan Wencheng sighed and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Huang Taiji's voice coming from inside the tent: "Is it Mr. Fan outside?" Is there a military situation that matters? ”

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Great Khan, it is Weichen, there is a movement of the Ming army in the city!" ”

"Then come in and talk!"

"Wow!"

Fan Wencheng arched his hand towards Ji Bilong, and when he entered the tent, he saw that Huang Taiji had just sat up from the couch, his face was pale, and he looked extremely tired, and hurriedly bowed down and bowed: "Great Khan, you are working so hard, you should rest for a while, and you will raise some spirits!" ”

At this time, a maidservant girl sent a bowl of mare's milk up, Huang Taiji took a sip, and said with a smile: "Now is the time to fight the country, hard work should also be, come, bring a bowl to Mr. Fan, sit down and talk!" “

"Thank you Great Khan for the reward!" Fan Wencheng bowed down, took the bowl with both hands, put it aside, and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, when Turush, the leader of the blue flag, encountered an incident when he led the troops in an ambush, Weichen felt a little strange, so he came to tell the Great Khan!" “

"Oh? How so? Huang Taiji put the bowl down, his two slender eyebrows furrowed, he knew very well that Fan Wencheng was an extremely delicate person, if he wasn't completely sure, he would never come to disturb him like this.

Fan Wencheng first briefly recounted the incident of Turush's ambush of the Ming army and civilians who went out of the city to collect food, and then defeated first, and then said in a low voice: "According to Turush, the assassin who assassinated him in front of the battle was not the real Sauron. It was a fine work of the Ming army, and Weichen thought it was quite strange. ”

"Oh? Mr. Fan, do you think that Turushh is lying and making excuses for his defeat? “

"Not really!" Fan Wencheng shook his head: "Wechen has already asked the guards who fought with that assassin, and what they said is consistent with Turush, and I also inspected the scars on the guards killed by that assassin, it is indeed a sword in the Ming army, these are not fake." “

"Oh? Could it be that any of those Saurons used weapons that were captured from the Ming army? ”

"Wechen has already inquired about the ordinary weapons used in the formation used by the Sauron team that Turushzo led to ambush, and high-grade weapons such as the Japanese sword will not be issued to them." Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng took out an object from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Great sweat." I also found this from Turushzol! “

Huang Taiji took it from the handmaiden, but it was a shovel-shaped arrow, he looked at it very carefully, and said in a low voice: "Is it a Qi Gong arrow?" “

"Exactly!" Fan Wencheng nodded: "It's the Qi Gong Arrow of the Ming Army!" “

Huang Taiji's face became solemn, although after the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, almost a few craftsmen were devoted to the manufacture of weapons, but the number of armor still could not be compared with the Ming army, especially the consumables such as arrows, and the Houjin was not yet extravagant enough to be able to equip the armor-piercing arrows that were very troublesome to make Qi Gong arrows to cannon fodder soldiers like Sauron.

"To be able to have this kind of courage and martial arts. It is definitely not an ordinary Ming soldier, at least a warrior who is one in a hundred. But since the Ming army was ambushed, then it was an accident, and the Ming warriors did not infiltrate the Sauron team in the first place to assassinate Turush. It's for other purposes. Huang Taiji jumped down from the couch, pacing back and forth on the ground covered with animal skins with his bare feet, and said to himself, this is his habit of thinking about problems.

Fan Wencheng high-fived and praised: "Weichen has only thought about it for a long time before he has a clue. The Great Khan understood in a blink of an eye, and the Great Khan really saw thousands of miles! ”

Huang Taiji smiled: "Mr. Fan had no clue at that time, but I am walking along the path that Mr. Fan has leaned out." How can this be compared, but as Mr. Fan sees it, what was the original purpose of this Ming army warrior? ”

"As Wei Chen can see, it is nothing more than wanting to cross the blockade line and communicate inside and outside, it is nothing more than going from Jinzhou to Daling River or from Daling River to Jinzhou."

"Well, that's good!" Huang Taiji nodded, agreeing with Fan Wencheng's inference, for the Ming army, which was separated by the Houjin army, the most important thing at the moment was the exchange of internal and external information. Because there was no radio in ancient times, whether it was to stimulate the morale of the Ming army inside the siege or to cooperate with the Ming army inside and outside the battle, it was necessary to communicate information, and for the Houjin army on the besieging side, in order to prevent the Ming army inside and outside the city from attacking inside and outside, it was extremely necessary to isolate the news inside and outside.

"Mr. Fan, which one do you think it is?"

"It should be from Jinzhou to the city!" Obviously, Fan Wencheng had thought carefully about this issue before coming to Huang Taiji, so he replied very decisively: "If you want to get out of the city, you will definitely not expose yourself for this trivial matter." “

"Mr. Fan is right!" Huang Taiji nodded, it was obvious that compared to such an important task as sneaking out of the city, the victory of a small battle like grabbing food was insignificant, that messenger would never do such a stupid thing because of a small loss, and it was different from Jinzhou to the Daling River, at that time he had already passed through the encirclement line of Houjin, and attacking Turushh was not contradictory to his main mission, and saving friendly troops by the way was just a gesture.

"This is also a rare warrior, but it's a pity that it didn't work for me!" Huang Taiji showed a look of pity on his face: "If you say so, Zu Dashou in the city has already received Sun Chengzong's letterhead, and Sun Chengzong will definitely tell Zu Dashou to let him wait for reinforcements, and make an appointment to attack inside and outside." Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's face became gloomy, although he had long expected the possibility of this happening, but seeing the battle situation developing in a direction that he did not want to see, Huang Taiji's mood still became bad.

"Actually, it's nothing!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Great Khan, you know that Inspector Sun is a gentleman, if this kind of person lets him enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, it would be good, but if he is to govern the army and fight, I am afraid it will not work, after all, his thoughts are too easy to guess!" ”

"Oh? Mr. Fan has a clever plan again, let's talk about it quickly! Huang Taiji was refreshed when he heard this, and sat back on the couch.

"Great Khan, do you know that there are many friends in the Ming court, and they spare no effort to attack each other, a few days ago, the Ming army Songshan and Jinzhou came to help twice, and they were defeated by my Dajin soldiers, Sun Chengzong is the governor of Liaodong, and he is the main advocate of building Dalinghe City, do you say that there will be people above the court to impeach him?"

"There should be, but changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, and the Emperor of Ming won't even know this!"

"That's natural, it's like cutting wood, those who want to cut down big trees, they must first go to its side branches, the Ming Dynasty is above the court are some smart people, naturally they don't think that only two small defeats can bring down such big people as Inspector Sun, they will impeach some trivial things at the beginning, or impeach the incompetence of the generals under the command of Lord Sun, and knock down his powerful subordinates one by one, so that even if Inspector Sun's holy family is thick, the Son of Heaven will be suspicious after a long time, and then he will only have to hang the seal and ask to go." Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng paused slightly and continued: "Sun Chengzong naturally knows this, so he will definitely close his door next, so as not to lose the battle and fall into the truth, and at the same time, he will send reinforcements from everywhere until he feels that the number of troops in his hands is large enough to be sure of victory, and this time is when we make a fuss." ”

When Fan Wencheng said this, he found that there was no joy on Huang Taiji's face, and he thought that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly whispered: "Great Khan, did Weichen say something wrong?" ”

"No, Mr. Fan, what you said is very good!" Huang Taiji sighed: "According to what you just said, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be all smart people, all of them are knowledgeable and full of strategy, wouldn't it be great if you can be as dedicated to state affairs as Mr. Fan?" Why do you spend all your time dealing with your own people? ”

"Great Khan!" Fan Wencheng laughed when he heard this: "The bad things in this world are bad for these smart people, if those ministers of the Ming Kingdom are a little stupid, why did the political affairs get to such a field today?" (To be continued.) )
