Shaking his head with a smile, Sun Chengzong looked helpless, walked to He Shixian's side, and said in a deep voice: "General He, we have tall city walls and firearms, why do we have to go out and fight with Jiannu?" ”

He Shixian was a little stunned, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I understand the humble position." ”

Seeing He Shixian's appearance, Sun Chengzong knew that this guy must have made it clear, but he was still unconvinced and wanted to get out of the city. After pondering for a while, Sun Chengzong said to He Shixian: "That's it! The old man has a plan, and if he can succeed, he will definitely be able to recreate slaves. However, one of these is a very dangerous errand that is likely to die, and the old man has been thinking about being selected. ”

"Dashuai, don't think about it, the last general is willing to go!" He Shixian was in a agitated mood at this time, knelt down on one knee in front of Sun Chengzong, and said loudly.

Glancing at He Shixian, Sun Chengzong was quite moved, such a general was allowed to have no talent, only to lead the troops to kill. But this kind of entry does not hesitate to die, dare to die, they are more lovely than those who are full of loyalty to the country, these are the hope of the Ming Dynasty.

Gently helping He Shixian up, Sun Chengzong said with some emotion: "General He, how is this incident very dangerous, it can be described as nine deaths, General He, you have to think about it!" ”

"Da Jin, as the chief soldier, guarding Shenyang City, if Shenyang is lost, there is no face to go back. At this time, the eldest husband was shrouded in horse leather and died on the battlefield. If I can do it, I He Shixian will not live in vain in this life! He Shixian was very ambitious at this time, his right hand tightly held the hilt of the knife at his waist, and his face was also resolute.

"Okay, since General He has the heart to serve the country, the old man should give you this opportunity, this is the case, like this, and then like this." Sun Chengzong also seemed to be in a mood, with an excited look, and whispered in He Shixian's ear.

When He Shixian left, Sun Chengzong shook his head with a wry smile, glanced at Xiong Tingbi a little helplessly, and smiled at each other.

"Da Jin, what errand was arranged for General He Shixian?" Xiong Tingbi looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile and asked with some curiosity.

A little embarrassed to smile, Sun Chengzong said embarrassedly: "This was originally intended for you to do." ”

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, looking helpless, looking at Sun Chengzong with a resentful expression.

"This, Fei Bai O! If the old man dies, let General He do it! You'd better stay with the old man! Patting Xiong Tingbi's shoulder, Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

Nodding slowly, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "Da Jin, have you done anything to evacuate and resettle the people?" ”

Seeing that Xiong Tingbi was down to business, Sun Chengzong nodded solemnly and said slowly: "I have already asked the magistrate to do it, and Qian Liang, the prefect of Shenyang, is already doing it." ”

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi said with some concern: "Da Jin, isn't it a little inappropriate for those refugees to be handed over to Jinyiwei?" Shall we send one into the watch point o? ”

Glancing at Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "Fly hundred!" These entries were sent by His Majesty from the capital, and there is no problem with their ability and loyalty. As a qualified commander, we must know how to be good at it, and since we are not good at those things, we should leave it to those who are good at it. Glancing at Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "What's more, these entries are all sent by His Majesty, if they are sent in to monitor, I'm afraid it will be very inappropriate!" ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Xiong Tingbi finally understood the gap between himself and Sun Chengzong from this time, although he used to respect Sun Chengzong very much, but because of his official position and status. After getting along for a period of time, Xiong Tingbi understood that this Dajin's ability was very good, and he could coordinate the relationship between various yamen well. He has his own unique views on the situation and grasp of the battlefield, and he is often to the point. But in these aspects, Xiong Tingbi thinks that he also has talent, but at this time he finally understands where the gap between himself and Sun Chengzong is. That is keen insight, as well as an understanding of officialdom, and a grasp of the heart.

Sighing deeply, Xiong Tingbi knew that his temper was very bad, but he couldn't help it and offended a lot. The entry of the military department, the imperial history officials, and the local officials can be said to have offended all over the place. But this Sun Dajin has a very accurate grasp of the heart, whether it is a magistrate, a military general, or a brocade guard, he can make the best use of his talents and talents. At this time, I can also take into account the feelings of Emperor Yaoqi who is far away in the capital, and it can be said that this is a very powerful thing.

"Feibai, have you conveyed the military orders to the defenders in various places?" Just as Xiong Tingbi was pondering, Sun Chengzong asked.

Slightly stunned, Xiong Tingbi smiled and said: "Da Jin, it's all conveyed, let them hold on to the city and don't need reinforcements." ”

Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Jiannu has been affected by the disaster, and there is no food, so he can only come to us to rob it." As long as we hold on and can prevent them from snatching it away, this is a victory. ”

Xiong Tingbi also nodded lightly, and said in agreement: "It's O!" The city of Shenyang is tall and big, as long as the city is defended, there is nothing to do about Jiannu. ”

Turning his gaze on Xiong Tingbi's body, Sun Chengzong said slowly: "By the way, the old man has forgotten to ask, how is your case?" What did the three divisions find out? ”

"I don't know the specifics, in short, it means that it is investigating, and as for whether the investigation has found anything, the lower officials don't know." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiong Tingbi didn't know what to do, for such a thing, maybe he could only resign himself to fate.

Nodding slightly, Sun Chengzong didn't speak, he knew in his heart that there was actually nothing to do with Xiong Tingbi here. At this time, what the three law divisions were waiting for was nothing more than the attitude of Emperor Yaoqi, and it was not the attitude towards Xiong Tingbi, but the attitude towards the Yang family. The Yang family has been in Liaodong for many years, and the local area is also intertwined, and the army is also quite implicated.

What he was waiting for was Emperor Yaoqi's attitude towards the Yang family, but in Sun Chengzong's opinion, Emperor Yaoqi would naturally not let go of the Yang family. Sun Chengzong also believes that the Yang family must be involved in this embezzlement of military salaries and smuggling of goods, and even if he directly raids the house, he will not wronged the Yang family.

Glancing at the city, Sun Chengzong said to Xiong Tingbi: "Shenyang City has spent a lot of thought over the years! The old man picked up a cheap one and didn't do anything! ”

Although Shenyang is not as important as Liaoyang and is not the capital of Liaodong, it is also one of the important towns in Liaodong and is valued as the "domain" of Liaoyang. In order to protect Shenyang and make it play a role in protecting Liaoyang, the border general Zeng Jingxin built a complete set of fortifications. Since the loss of Kaiyuan and Tieling, Shenyang, as the only acropolis in Liaoyang City, has increased its defensive strength. As he spoke, Xiong Tingbi pointed downward.

"Dig a deep trench outside the city and make a fence with large logs. In the place near the city wall, two trenches were dug, each five zhang wide and two zhang deep, and the bottom of the trench was inserted with a sharp pile. On the inner side of the moat, that is, on the side close to the city wall, a horse wall was built, with cannon holes in between, chariots and guns arranged. Outside the trenches, trenches were dug one after another, traps were set, sharp wooden stakes were inserted at the bottom of the well, and straw was laid on top to cover the soil. This huge fortification was designed to deal with the charge of the Houjin cavalry and prevent the infantry from carrying siege equipment to approach the city. When the lower officials came here, they were also taken aback, and it was hard to imagine what kind of army would be able to break through such a city. Looking at the building below, Xiong Tingbi Yi 1ri sighed.

Sighing softly, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "When the old man left the capital, the emperor and the old man said a word, and the old man has always remembered it vividly!" ”

"What are the words? I wonder if I can talk to the lower officials? Xiong Tingbi said curiously.

"The strongest cities are often breached from within!" Smiling lightly, Sun Chengzong said indifferently: "Our difficulties this time are not outside the city, but inside the city!" ”

Xiong Tingbi nodded approvingly, admiring Emperor Yaoqi who had met him, he could be described as far-sighted!

In the early afternoon, Houjin's soldiers and horses gradually assembled outside Shenyang, and scattered soldiers appeared from time to time. At ten points in the evening, Nurhachi's army arrived outside the city of Shenyang and camped outside the city. Although it is claimed to be 150,000, the real Eight Banners Jingrui is only 60,000, and the barracks stretch far away.

In the large tent in the middle of the barracks, Nurha, dressed in armor, was on the main seat, and on either side sat the generals of the Eight Banners. Of the two sides, four of them were obviously of a higher position, as they were all sitting next to Nurhachi.

These four are the famous four major Baylors, namely Da Belle Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji. The one that looks more elegant is Huang Taiji. These four recruits have a very high status in the army, and it can be said that they have made outstanding achievements. The most important four entry did not rely on their father Nurhachi, their military exploits and status were all fought by themselves with a knife and a gun. This makes these four members have a very high status in the Eight Banners Army, and they are not unconvinced.

The two people sitting on the left side are both older and look fierce. These two are the Great Bel Daishan and Amin. The two people sitting on the right side are not very old, but they are also resolute. These two are Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji, and among these four entries, the only one that looks more elegant is Huang Taiji.

Glancing at the generals in the big tent and then at his four sons, Nurhachi's heart was full of spirit. Back then, when he raised his thirteen pairs of armor, how could he have thought that there would be today? looked at his four sons with satisfaction, these are the future of Hou Jin, the hope of Hou Jin, fortunately, they have not let themselves down, each of them can be independent.
