Chapter 103: It's so cool to make this decision
Of course, Cao Yue had no way of knowing the movements of Zhou Yuji, the Jiang brothers, and his cousin Cao Bianjiao and others, after all, in the era when information transmission was extremely inconvenient, and it was the current enemy, it was not so convenient for any news to be transmitted. In Cao Yue's feeling, no one would come to the rescue of Datong, everything depended on him, so he did not expect that reinforcements would arrive and someone would help him.
What made Cao Yue wonder was that after Jiannu's artillery battalion arrived at Datong City, Jiannu did not launch a large-scale attack, and the situation was very calm.
Behind this very calm, it is destined to conceal a big conspiracy, but Cao Yue can't guess what Jiannu is planning.
"General Cao Bing, beware of Jiannu digging tunnels to the city and planting explosives to blow up the city!" Sun Chuanting still has experience, and after thinking about it again, he reminded Cao Yue to pay attention to Jiannu digging tunnels to attack.
Sun Chuanting fought with Jiannu many times, and he had points for the moves used by Jiannu.
In the past sieges, Jiannu's favorite moves are as follows: one is to attack, using a fierce offensive to break the fighting spirit of the defenders, and finally easily attack; and bribe the generals who defend the city and use them to open the gates; Then dig tunnels to the city or the city, use the tunnels to sneak into the city or plant explosives, blow up the city gate or city wall, so that the city can be quickly captured; And then there is the long siege.
Sun Chuanting couldn't judge what kind of countermeasures Jiannu would take, and he could only say his guess and ask Cao Yue to be on guard.
Sun Chuanting's reminder Cao Yue certainly wouldn't care, and he made a lot of precautions for this.
Of course, the moat was full of water, and if Jiannu dug a tunnel, the water in the moat might seep in. He also had the soldiers defending the city listen to the movements inside and outside the city day and night, and report any disturbances immediately.
The guards of each city gate, Cao Yue replaced them with people he trusted, and cross-supervised to avoid being bought by Jiannu as much as possible.
The onslaught of Jiannu and the long siege were expected for a long time.
However, Jiannu actually sent a lobbyist, which Sun Chuanting and Cao Yue did not expect.
One day, when Cao Yue and Sun Chuanting were discussing things, a sergeant came to report, saying that there was a messenger from Jiannu under the city, saying that he wanted to meet Cao Yue.
"Jiannu actually sent an envoy, is it to persuade the two of us to surrender?" Cao Yue was amused when he heard it, and laughed at Sun Chuanting, "I want to see who Jiannu sent and how he wants to persuade us." ”
At that moment, without waiting for Sun Chuanting's consent, he ordered the sergeant to bring Jiannu's envoy into the city.
The guards at the north gate lowered the hanging baskets and hoisted the three Jiannu who called themselves messengers to the top of the city.
Soon, three Jiannu with disgusting money rat braids were brought into Cao Yue's line. Looking at their faces, they are all Han faces, "They must be traitors who surrendered to Jiannu, let's see how to clean them up in a while!" Cao Yue doesn't pay attention to any courtesy and good exchanges, if the person who comes is a famous traitor in history and comes to persuade him to surrender, then he doesn't mind using this person's head to boost morale.
"This envoy is Shi Ning of the Hongwen Academy University in the Qing Dynasty, and I have seen the Ming general," the envoy straightened his body and arched his hand at Sun Chuanting and Cao Yue, who were sitting at the top, with his nostrils facing the sky, "Today, this envoy came to Datong to convey the advice of the regent of the Qing Dynasty to the Ming general, hoping that the Ming general can recognize the situation, judge the situation, stop being an enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and give up resistance." ”
Ning Wan said as he took out a letter from his bosom and held it in front of him, "This is a letter from the regent of the Great Qing Dynasty to you!"
"It turned out to be Ning Wan, my big traitor," Cao Yue listened to the music, it seems that he can really let out a bad breath today, this big traitor sent it to the door by himself, and he can't live with heaven if he doesn't take this person's sacrifice flag. Immediately shouted: "The person who came was too rude, when he saw Inspector Sun and the general, there was no etiquette, come and teach him how to salute!"
As he spoke, Cao Messenger, the general of the pro-soldiers who was waiting under the tent, gave a look.
Cao Xin understood, immediately stepped forward, and kicked at the crook of Ning Wan's leg, Ning Wan I didn't expect such a scene to appear, and I was caught off guard, and I knelt on the ground with a thud, and my knees hurt. However, he reacted quickly and immediately struggled to his feet.
But before Ning Wan got up, Cao Xin hit me hard, and Ning Wan, who had not yet stood up straight, knelt down twice again. Ning Wan's two of my retinues tried to rush forward, but they were also thrown to the ground by Cao Xin's men.
"I am an envoy from the Qing Dynasty, and the two armies will not fight and not kill the envoy, you are too rude, I protest!" I yelled with my neck stalked.
Sun Chuanting was very dissatisfied with Cao Yue's decision to deal with Jiannu without asking his opinion, but he didn't say anything to scold, and was very interested to see how Cao Yue was going to deal with this matter.
Cao Yue smiled generously at Sun Chuanting, signaling that the matter would be handled by him.
Sun Chuanting rolled his eyes in response, but still didn't say anything else.
Cao Yue walked to Ning Wan, who was forcibly pressed to the ground, blushing to express disbelief and loud protest, looked at the other party happily, and then signaled the sergeant next to him to pick up the letter that fell on the ground, and tore it to pieces in front of Ning Wan without looking at it, and sneered: "Dolgon is really a superfluous move, I, Cao Yue, led the army to break through Shengjing and destroy their capital, I am already an enemy of Jiannu, can I still surrender?" Hehe! It can only be said that Dolgon was not confident in breaking through Datong, so he sent a traitor over, hoping to disintegrate the morale of the soldiers defending the city by persuading us to surrender. But he didn't think that he had given Ben a chance to boost morale. Geng Zhongming was killed, and it is a pity that his head was not brought back, and I could have used the head of that big traitor to boost morale, but now Dolgon has made up for this opportunity for me. ”
Cao Yue said, deliberately paused, and when Ning Wan stopped struggling and looked at him in horror, he continued: "Dolgon really spared no talent, and even sent one of his great strategists into the city to give us the Datong Army Sacrifice Flag. Ning Da traitor, I'm really embarrassed, I Cao Yue borrowed your head today, and I will hang your head and headless corpse on the city for a period of time, so that those traitors who surrendered to Jiannu can see what the end of betraying the country and seeking glory will be!"
Ning Wan I never dreamed that Cao Yue would be such a person, he didn't give him a chance to explain his intentions and other justifications at all, and he was going to use his head as soon as he met, and his frightened legs were weak, but he still desperately raised his head and struggled: "Cao Yue, Cao Zongbing, I am the messenger of the Qing Dynasty, and I am here to pass on the situation for the Qing Dynasty. If it falls into your hands again in the future, I will kill you or take it to you!"
"Don't be so troublesome," Cao Yue said, Leng might as well raise his leg, kick Ning Wan on my head heavily, kick Ning Wan me a long way away, and then said viciously: "Your corpse is hanging on the head of the city, and Dolgon will know what I mean." Don't talk about the battle between the two armies, don't kill the envoys, if Dolgon sends a Jurchen or a Mongol, I can treat him like this, but he sent you, a big traitor, and I Cao Yue will not talk about any etiquette to a traitor like you who betrays the country and seeks glory. Come, drag this man down and behead him, and hang his body on the top of the city for public display!"
Cao Xin, who was startled by Cao Yue's kick, heard Cao Yue's words, quickly agreed, and motioned to his sergeants to step forward and drag Ning Wan and his two entourages down and behead.
Ning Wan, who was trampled on, was dragged down before he woke up, and his teeth were kicked out several times, and he could only instinctively beg for mercy in pain, but Cao Yue ignored the other party's pig-like howl, and watched happily with his hands behind his back as the sergeant dragged this big traitor down. "It's a fucking good decision!" This is Cao Yue's mood now!
