Chapter 20 Counter-Plots

It's night, Liaoyang.

More than 800 people led by Wang Pu camped here.

Liaoyang is located in the south of Shengjing more than 100 miles, a few decades ago was the town of Liaodong Town of the Ming Empire, at its peak there were hundreds of thousands of Han people living in the city, and then the Jurchens rose, the Han people in Liaodong were either killed or fled, Liaoyang soon declined, after Nurhachi moved the capital to Shengjing, Liaoyang was completely abandoned, and now it has become a ruin infested with wild beasts.

Wang Pu looked at the broken wall overgrown with artemisia grass outside the tent, and sighed: "More than 20 years ago, this Liaoyang was a prosperous big city, but it was unfortunately destroyed by Jiannu, alas. ”

Zhen Youcai's face showed a rare look of sadness, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, after Jiannu broke the city twenty years ago, there were tens of thousands of people who hanged themselves, and the beams of every house were full of corpses, and even the branches outside the city were full of dead people. ”

Zhen Youcai suddenly burst into tears as he spoke: "The villain's parents were also hanged on that day. ”

Wang Pu patted Zhen Youcai's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Youcai, find a gang to get some sacrifices, and then take a pot of water and wine to pay tribute to your parents, I don't know when I will be able to come to Liaodong again after returning to Guannei." ”

"Hey."

Zhen Youcai wiped his tears and shrunk away.

Wang Pu asked Scarface to bring more than a dozen family members to follow, not that he was afraid that Zhen Youcai would run away, in Wang Pu's opinion, Zhen Youcai was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't mean that the people of the Ming Dynasty who were free and easy didn't do it, but ran to be Jiannu's dog slave, not to mention that this time Jiannu's Shengjing was destroyed Zhen Youcai made great contributions, and he would never dare to run back to Jiannu as a slave.

With this kung fu, Xiao Qi has already let Huang Taiji carry Huang Taiji into Wang Pu's account.

At this time, Huang Taiji was really embarrassed, his hands and feet were tied, because he was worried that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide, and his mouth was also stuffed with rags, because Huang Taiji was obese and weighed more than 300 catties, and it was really difficult to walk, Xiao Qi simply let the two family members use a stick to carry Huang Taiji into the tent like an animal.

Because of the bumpy day, Huang Taiji's complexion was very bad.

Wang Pu called Xiao Qi to him and whispered for a while, Xiao Qi understood that he would take people away, Wang Pu then asked Huang Taiji to sit up, and took away the rags stuffed in his mouth, Huang Taiji gasped for a moment, and said to Wang Pu: "Wang Pu, I want to see Concubine Chen." ”

Let Huang Taiji say this, Wang Pu really wants to know whether that charming and natural Hai Lanzhu is dead or alive now?

Wang Pu immediately sent someone to call Li Changfu to his tent, and Li Changfu's ancestors and grandsons had been following the army since they showed their hands in Changyong Fort, and now they seem to have become military doctors with the army.

"Daddy Li." Wang Pu asked, "Is that Jiannu woman dead?" ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but ask: "Is it Concubine Chen?" How is she now? ”

"No, it's a good life." Father Li scratched his head and said, "This matter is about to be reported to the general, it is really evil, this Jiannu woman is about to lose her breath, but after being on the back of the horse for a long time, she actually came back to life, her anger was smooth, her face was ruddy, and the illness was more than half better." ”

Wang Pu frowned and said, "Shouldn't it be a return to the light?" ”

Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to himself: "It's okay, Concubine Chen is okay, I can rest assured." ”

"No, it won't." Father Li shook his head and said, "The old man has already passed her pulse, and it is definitely not a return to the light." ”

"What's going on?"

"The old man estimated that the Jiannu woman might have been depressed due to excessive sadness, and the bumping on horseback for most of the day not only did not make her breath, but accidentally dissolved the stagnant qi in her chest, so the illness was more than half cured."

"I see." Wang Pu nodded and said, "Okay, then Daddy Li, you go down first, the wounded in the army have to worry about you." ”

"Where's that, General?" Father Li hurriedly said, "This is what the old man should do." ”

After Father Li left, Wang Pucai said to Huang Taiji: "Huang Taiji, you should rest assured now, right?" ”

Huang Taiji said: "I want to see Concubine Chen." ”

"It's not time yet." Wang Pu shook his head and said, "Hai Lanzhu's condition has just improved, what should I do if I get excited after seeing you?" ”

"That's right." Huang Taiji thought deeply and said, "It's because I don't think about it." ”

Wang Pudao: "Huang Taiji, I heard that you like to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" ”

"Not bad." Huang Taiji nodded and said, "The culture of your Han people is indeed long-standing, broad and profound, but it is a pity that the monarchs and ministers of your Ming Kingdom do not know how to make good use of it, and only know that the party is the same as the other, and the great country is made into a miasma, and the people are not happy. ”

"You Wang Pu is also a good general, if you can abandon the darkness and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, I will make you the king of Jingnan!"

"King Jingnan?" Wang Pu laughed and said, "Hahaha, interesting. ”

Huang Taiji said solemnly: "You have no jokes, but I am serious." ”

"You don't have any jokes?" Wang Pu said indifferently, "Huang Taiji, you are no longer a slave chieftain, you are now a prisoner of the Ming official army!" Don't say these boring words, General Ben asked you if you like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no other meaning, but I heard that you once got inspiration from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Zhou Yu borrowed a knife to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and used a counter-plot to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan. ”

[Huang Taiji's counter-plot to eliminate Yuan Chonghuan is true or false, it's hard to say, this book is a novel, I believe it in vain, and I don't need to dig into it. 】

"Transfer eight thousand iron horsemen?" Huang Taiji said disdainfully, "Wang Pu, don't dream, there are no more than two roads from Liaodong back to Guannei, except for the land route is the sea route, but now you can't go through these two roads, if you think you can take me as a hostage, then you are very wrong, if you know the current affairs, you will obediently surrender to the Qing Dynasty, I can also protect you for a lifetime of glory and wealth." ”

"Hehe, if it's a dream, just wait and see." After Wang Pu said that, he stuffed the rag ball back into Huang Taiji's mouth, stretched out his hand and pointed to the outside of the tent, and said in a low voice, "Do you know who is locked in the tent next to you?" It's Zilharang. ”

Huang Taiji snorted from his nostrils, unmoved.

Wang Pu smiled, and suddenly deliberately amplified his voice and said: "Huang Taiji, you must be very strange why this army led by General Ben was able to bypass the Jiannu camp in Songshan unknowingly, and why it was able to easily take Shengjing City, right?" General Ben will tell you the truth today, there is our Ming Ming's internal response among your slaves! ”

Huang Taiji obviously thought of something, as if he wanted to say something, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked and he couldn't say anything.

Wang Pu smiled, and then said loudly: "You must be curious to know who these people are, right?" Anyway, you're dying, General Ben will tell you the truth today, these few should be no one else, or Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi! You think they are really descending, but you are wrong, they are false, and they have been given the holy decree of our Lord to be inward! General Ben's army sneaked through the defense area of the three of them, and the gate of Shengjing City was also secretly opened by their house slaves from the inside, and the news that you were outside Shengjing City was also sent by them to inform General Ben, otherwise, General Ben wouldn't be able to catch you, hahaha......"

"Mmmm......mmmm

Huang Taiji desperately wanted to speak, but could only mumble a few times from his nostrils.

Wang Pu continued: "Didn't you just say that it is difficult for General Ben and his troops to fly with wings? General Ben can tell you now that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi have already arranged ships on Lianyun Island, and as soon as General Ben's army arrives, they can immediately sail out to sea and return to Dengzhou by sea. ”

"Don't think that the 8,000 Jiannu cavalry you transferred can stop General Ben, tomorrow General Ben will arrange a suspicious army to march towards North Korea with great fanfare, and General Ben will lead the army to march day and night, secretly going south, and when the 8,000 cavalry you transferred chase to North Korea, General Ben has already boarded a ship from Lianyun Island and set out to sea, hahaha......"

Huang Taiji's face changed greatly, and he finally knew Wang Pu's sinister intentions.

Wang Pu clearly deliberately wanted Jierharang to hear this, and then sold a flaw to let Jierharang escape, and brought what Wang Pu said to the Songshan camp. Shengjing was destroyed, Huang Taiji was taken captive, and the "truth" that Zierharang heard from the enemy camp, those princes and Baylors were furious, and they would kill Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi to vent their hatred.

There are also Duoduo's five thousand iron horsemen, after listening to the "news" of Zierharang, ten ** will chase to Lianyun Island, but ignore the Ming army that turned to North Korea with great fanfare, in this way, Wang Pu's Ming army can smoothly enter the Korean border, although North Korea is now a subject country of the Qing Dynasty, but the heart is always towards the Ming Dynasty, Wang Pu's army entered North Korea, will definitely get the courtesy of the king of North Korea, and the Ming army will be able to board the ship from Incheon Port and go to sea to return to the Ming Dynasty smoothly.

Huang Taiji must be promised, and Wang Pu's counter-plot is very vicious.

Huang Taiji knows very well that after his accident, it is none other than Hauge and Dolgon who will take over the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although Hauge is brave and good at fighting, he has no brains, and it is impossible to see through Wang Pu's counter-plot, although Dolgon is brave and strategic, he is young and vigorous after all, and he may not be able to see through the conspiracy, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan I may be able to see through it, but they are Han, they can't help but worry that they will not be able to defend themselves but cause a catastrophe of death, in this case, they will not come forward to break it at all.

In addition, Huang Taiji also thought of an even more terrifying point, once the news of his capture reached the Songshan camp, the good situation of the Qing army in Songshan would be completely destroyed!

Because of the vacancy of the Khan's throne, there will inevitably be a fierce competition for power within the Qing Dynasty, in this case, the Eight Banners Army has been unable to continue to confront the Ming army on the Songshan and Jinzhou lines, once the Eight Banners Army withdraws from Songshan and Jinzhou, the Ming army can get a precious respite, and re-operate the Ningjin defense line outside the Guan.
