In the dead of night, the lights in the Guanju Palace are bright.

Outside the pavilion, Queen Zhezhe and Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai were in a hurry, the two wanted to push the door in to see what was going on, but they didn't dare to make a mistake, finally, the closed door opened a crack, an old imperial doctor walked out with a tired face, Zhezhe and Bumu Butai hurriedly surrounded them, and asked anxiously: "Imperial Doctor, how is Concubine Chen?" ”

The imperial doctor shook his head and sighed: "Queen Mother, the slave has done his best. ”

"Huh?" Zhezhe exclaimed, "Concubine Chen, she ......"

"Not really." The imperial doctor said gloomily, "Concubine Chen may want to see the emperor for the last time, so she struggled and refused to return to heaven." ”

Zhezhe was already confused: "What can I do, what can I do?" ”

Bumu Butai looked very calm at this time, and said to Zhezhe: "Queen Mother, Concubine Chen is the emperor's favorite concubine, if we hide the news of Concubine Chen's critical illness and don't report it, the emperor will definitely blame him, the most important thing now is to send a fast horse to Songshan, so that the emperor can hurry back to Shengjing to see Concubine Chen for the last time." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhezhe said in a continuous voice, "Come on, hurry up to Prince Li's Mansion and Prince Zheng's Mansion, and ask the two princes to immediately send fast horses to Songshan, tell the emperor that Concubine Chen is critically ill, and let him hurry back to Shengjing." ”

The chief eunuch who was waiting next to him crawled out of the inner court with a rolling belt, and passed Zhezhe's edict to Prince Li and Prince Zheng who stayed in Shengjing.

[Let's talk about the six-hundred-mile expedited: In the Ming and Qing dynasties, ten miles of shops, thirty miles of post, there are special stagecoaches in the post station, and the six-hundred-mile rush is to constantly change the stagecoach halfway, never stop, and rush to send the letter to six hundred miles away within twelve hours.

Under the six-hundred-mile expedited there are four-hundred-mile expedited, three-hundred-mile expedited, and two-hundred-mile expedited.

On top of the six-hundred-mile expedited, there is a more urgent eight-hundred-mile expedited, and the eight-hundred-mile expedited is not as simple as running only eight hundred miles in twelve hours, but running to death, how fast and how fast it is, and it may even run more than a thousand miles in one day, and finally the letter is delivered, the horse runs to death, and the people are tired to death! During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty often did this in order to let Yang Guifei eat fresh lychees. 】

The long street is silent, the night is quiet, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly shattered people's dreams, the Jiannu guarding the door is falling asleep in a daze, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the ears, and he looked up in surprise to see a horse like flying, and a terrible shout sounded under the night sky: "Open the city gate quickly, and Prince Zheng, the minister who stayed behind, will hurry up ......for 600 miles."

The three Jiannu guarding the door stepped forward to block the way, and the leading Jiannu spread his hands and said in a deep voice: "Guanfang." ”

The messenger took out a piece of letterhead from his arms, which was indeed covered with the purple flower seal of the minister left behind in Shengjing, and the gatekeeper turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

More than a dozen slaves rushed out of the gatehouse, swarming up and pushing the bolt open, and the closed gate had just opened a crack when the fast horse blew out like a gust of wind, and disappeared under the vast night sky.

Fort Changyong.

While there was still some time, Wang Puzheng wanted to take a nap, Xiao Qi suddenly pushed the door in, and reported: "General, that Zhen Youcai is clamoring to see you, saying that there is something important." ”

Wang Pu said: "What about people? ”

Xiao Qi said: "Wait outside." ”

Wang Pu said: "Let him come in." ”

"Bring it in."

Xiao Qi turned around and said hello, and the two family members escorted Zhen Youcai into the hall, Wang Pu frowned and asked, "Zhen Youcai, what's the matter?" ”

Zhen Youcai lowered his head, glanced at Wang Pu secretly, and quickly lowered his eyes, and said softly: "General, do you want to take advantage of the fact that the Jiannu on the dark city is not real, and send someone to pretend to be Prince Li's guards to deceive the gate of Shengjing City?" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Pu looked at Xiao Qi with a heavy face, Xiao Qi quickly shook his head, of course he would not tell Zhen Youcai such a major military secret.

Zhen Youcai seemed to have guessed Wang Pu's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Don't be surprised, adults, this is all guessed by villains." ”

"Guessed?" Wang Pu was secretly surprised in his heart and asked, "How did you guess?" ”

Zhen Youcai said: "The villain saw a military master collecting the armor of Prince Li's guards outside the village, and later the general asked the villain if he could speak Manchu, so he guessed that the general You wanted to send someone to pretend to be Prince Li's guards to deceive the city gate." General, if you really have this intention, the villain advises you to dispel the idea as soon as possible, if you want to deceive the city gate of Shengjing, it is not so easy. ”

Wang Pu asked expressionlessly, "How do you say this?" ”

Zhen Youcai said: "When Nurhachi raised troops, Jiannu was only tens of thousands of troops, but he repeatedly conquered Fushun, Kaiyuan, Tieling, Shengjing, Liaoyang and other military towns guarded by heavy troops in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Xiao Qidao: "What does this have to do with us?" ”

"Of course it does." Zhen Youcai said, "Nurhachi seized the entire Liaodong by deceiving the city gate, how could he leave others the same opportunity?" The general sent someone to deceive Prince Li's guards to deceive the city gate, isn't that looking for his own death? ”

"I don't believe it yet." Xiao Qi asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the king of Jiannu called the door under the city, and the Jiannu who guarded the door did not open it?" ”

Zhen Youcai said: "Two generals, you don't know, the old slave chief Nuerhachi had a strict rule when he was alive, all the city gates will be closed after nightfall, if there is no slave chief or the minister who stays behind, unless it is the slave chief Emperor Taiji who comes in person, the Jiannu guarding the gate will never open the city gate!" ”

Wang Pu said: "Dai Shan is the Prince of Li of Jiannu, and he is also the left-behind minister of Shengjing, he must be guarded!" ”

"It's late." Zhen Youcai said with regret, "Of course, Dai Shan has a guard on him, otherwise how would he return to the city?" But now, I'm afraid it's already been destroyed by him. ”

"Damn!" Xiao Qi clenched his fists and said in an unkind tone, "General, the villain goes down and has a look, if that old slave really destroys the guard, it's useless to leave him anyway, it's better to hack him to death with a knife." ”

"Xiao Qi, don't be rash." Wang Pu stopped Xiao Qi, and said to Zhen Youcai, "Zhen Youcai, that's all you want to tell General Ben?" ”

Zhen Youcai's eyes rolled, and then said, "Oh, there is one more thing besides these. ”

Wang Pu said: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Zhen Youcai said: "The general wants to seize Shengjing City by surprise attack, but the villain has a way. ”

"What's the solution?" Wang Pu said coldly, "Let's hear it." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "Jiannu is heavily guarded at night, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed if you want to deceive the city gate, but the guards during the day are relatively lax, and it is not difficult to mix dozens of people into the city." ”

Zhen Youcai's words are true, the Ming army has not been able to invade Liaodong at all in recent years, and Korea and Mongolia have submitted to Jiannu.

In such an environment, Jiannu never thought that Shengjing would be attacked! In fact, this is all people's habitual thinking, because since Nurhachi raised the army, Jiannu has been very smooth, except for Ningyuan City, which suffered two losses, it has not suffered much defeat, and it is impossible not to breed arrogance in this situation.

"Daytime?" Xiao Qida shouted, "What are you kidding, how can more than a thousand people in broad daylight get close to Shengjing City?" Are you all dead slaves in the city? ”

Wang Pu waved his hand to stop Xiao Qi and said to Zhen Youcai: "Say, go on." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "The general may not know, this manor is actually the imperial village, every once in a while, it will send grain, vegetables and some fresh wild game to the palace in Shengjing City, seeing that it is time to send grain again in the past few days, the general can let your subordinates dress up as coachmen, and then hide the weapons in the grain cart, the Jiannu guarding the door is already familiar with the villain, and it is generally not checked, and it should be able to blend into the city." ”

If what Zhen Youcai said is true, this is indeed a way.

First, in broad daylight, Jiannu's vigilance is not high, and second, since Changyong Fort is an imperial village and often transports grain, vegetables and game to the palace, Jiannu guarding the door will not be suspicious. However, the risk of doing this is also extremely great, in case Zhen Youcai opens his eyes and says nonsense, the consequences will be serious, and if he fails to deceive at night, he can also take advantage of the dark to leave, and it will be difficult to escape during the day, Jiannu's riding is not vegetarian.

"Zhen Youcai." Wang Pu narrowed his eyes and suddenly said something incoherent, "Should General Ben thank you?" You saved the lives of General Ben and more than a thousand Ming soldiers, didn't you? ”

"Don't dare." Zhen Youcai hurriedly lowered his head, didn't dare to face Wang Pu's cold and instigated eyes, and replied, "The villain is actually doing this for his own life, if the general defeats Shengjing, the villain will not survive, only if you are done, general, the villain can live well, hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Wang Pu said: "So, should General Ben believe you?" ”

"General, you can't trust him." Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "Be careful of this guy tricking us." ”

Zhen Youcai didn't dare to say anything, only a pair of eyes kept spinning, how did he look like a slippery person.
