On the south side of the sand river in the south of the pot, sand boats come and go, unloading grain and grass to this front-line base.

A sand boat was waiting on the northernmost pier, Liu Minyou reached the shore end of the wooden trestle, Chen Xin walked beside him, and Liu Minyou stopped on the trestle and turned to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin stopped and smiled: "Brother Liu still has something to nag about." ”

Liu Minyou also smiled and said: "On the battlefield, we only think about the things on the battlefield, and the time is in our hands." ”

Chen Xin buried his head and said slowly: "I understand that the system in Dengzhou was founded by the two of us, and it has tried its best to achieve checks and balances and decentralization, and it is also very stable, but every time there is a storm, I am still very worried. ”

Liu Minyou encouraged: "We have been in this era for more than nine years, you have been fighting for eight years, and the War of Resistance has ended." In the past, I said how many people's surnames do you have to pave the way to compete with Huang Taiji on the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, you have already fought a decisive battle with him in a dominant situation, the world is not more bizarre than this, you are no longer weaker than Huang Taiji. ”

Chen Xin raised his head and asked curiously, "Brother Liu, do you think I am a famous general or an invincible commander?" ”

Liu Minyou scratched his head, "It may be that I am too familiar with you, I know your weaknesses very well, and if there is no distance, I will naturally not have a blind understanding of you." But the soldiers all see you like this, you give them a way out, lead them to victory, and give them confidence and hope for the future. ”

Chen Xin shook his head and smiled: "In the past eight years, I have been learning to command, and I have transformed the strongest army of this era, I have confidence in them, but I often have no confidence in myself, because I find that I have nothing special beyond others' talents on the battlefield." According to Napoleon, it is called a spark of spirit, which is not something that can be trained after tomorrow, and obviously I do not have it, that is, I am only a qualified general, not a famous general......"

"Did Eisenhower have a spark of spirit?"

Chen Xin was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, Liu Minyou continued: "But it does not prevent him from being an outstanding commander of the allied forces, the commander should be the controller and coordinator of the overall situation, this is the system you designed, the simple military has the military order department, the military affairs department and the brigade officer are responsible, there is a supplement to the staff system, and there is a deputy position of control, why do you need an all-round commander." ”

Chen Xin was silent for a while and laughed: "Actually, I just have the dream of a famous general, fortunately, every time Brother Liu reminds me, only Brother Liu will say that I am not a famous general, if you ask other people, it will definitely to the sky." ”

Liu Minyou patted the old brother on the shoulder, "We came with nothing, and in the past nine years, we have established the strongest military town in Denglai Liaodong, and you have done a good job." Known as the invincible Jiannu was beaten back to Liaozhong by you, and it has been at the end of the road, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, these people who can be named in history, were beaten by you and fled, you don't have to doubt this battle, put aside all your concerns, let your system play its full role, there are those brave heroes in Dengzhou Town, Jiannu will definitely be destroyed. ”

Chen Xin nodded and stretched out his hand to Liu Minyou, "Thank you, I have arrangements in Dengzhou, your first priority is to control the mobilized reserves, and severely counterattack those provocateurs. ”

Liu Minyou also stretched out his hand to shake hands with the brother of the two worlds, "I will definitely help you be optimistic about Dengzhou, as long as Dengzhou is here, Huang Taiji will not be able to support you, strengthen your faith, take care!" ”……

In the mansion of Gao Hongzhong in Liaoyang City, the coat named Zhou Wu was already changing into the clothes of a soldier, and now Gao Hongzhong went to participate in a meeting again, Huang Taiji once again expressed Xiàn waver, Salhu's urgent reports came one after another, and the sentinels of the Dongjiang River appeared many times between Shenyang and Fushun Pass, and there were not many guards along the way, and they were unable to search for those scattered sentry horses, many grain fields were burned by them, and the two thousand cavalry who stayed in Shenyang did not dare to transfer reinforcements lightly, because even the direction of Shanguan was also in an emergency.

A hauge was added to the meeting, he came from Haizhou, the road from Haizhou to Xiuyan was defended by the mountain infantry company of Dengzhou, and the road was full of mines and traps along the way, Haoge tried several times, but did not make any progress, according to the report of the white armor soldiers who went over the mountain to investigate, Xiuyan City built a perfect trench system, very similar to Lushun, which contained Dengzhou reserves and people, some labor provided by thousands of Dongjiang Town, and a part of the eighth battalion of Dengzhou, in the narrow terrain of Xiuyan, I am afraid it is difficult to overcome.

Such trench tactics are not a specialty of the First World War, but also appeared in Europe at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the same era, Sweden's Gustav is good at using this kind of thing to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Huang Taiji has also been used in the Daling River, and later in the Songjin War with a trench to besiege the Ming army, so that the Ming army is shaken, Dengzhou Town also used this weapon to deal with the Houjin.

The Houjin nobles hated and helpless the trench defense line in Dengzhou, this kind of trench and earthen wall, as long as the manpower is sufficient, can be built in a short time, if there is not enough food, the attack power of the Houjin is difficult to overcome.

So at the end of the meeting, Huang Taiji and several Houjin nobles studied the shape around Gaizhou, and Huang Taiji also ordered a batch of Liaoyang grain to be transported to Yaozhou Fort, which was a very obvious signal to march south, so this Baoyi decided to set off immediately and report this important movement of Houjin to Chen Xin.

Gao Hongzhong watched Zhou Wu prepare from the side, and there was an indescribable panic in his heart, Gao Hongzhong knew very well the current battle situation, both sides wanted to fight a decisive battle on the battlefield they set, and Chen Xin must also have a reason to fight a decisive battle, otherwise he would not continue to strengthen the offensive in Lianshan Pass and Salhu, so what Zhou Wu sent was a key piece of information. With Zhou Wu's departure, the time for the battle situation in Liaodong to be revealed is even closer, and Gao Hongzhong has an unknown fear of the future.

Gao Hongzhong's throat was dry, and he said to Zhou Wu, who was changing clothes: "Zhou, Lord Zhou is careful all the way, I still send the person who picked you up last time to send you, the boat on the Taizi River has been searched, and there are still sentinel boats in Niuzhuang and other places, I am afraid that you can only take the land route this time, and then go to the beach to pick up the boat near Yaozhou, it is dangerous to go back and forth on this road, and the person who responds will stay there with you, and don't come back for the time being." ”

Zhou Wu knew that Gao Hongzhong was afraid that the man would be arrested on the road, which would drag him down, which was also human nature, Zhou Wu said easily: "I don't need him to send it, I will find a way to go back by myself, so it is safer." You relax your mind, if I am caught, it will not affect you, this battle Dajin can't win, you choose the winning side, and I will tell you one by one about the support you give me this time, you are a hero of Dengzhou. ”

Gao Hong's head relaxed for a moment, and Zhou Wu continued: "Before you, there is also the white flag of Buck Mountain, Lord Chen is the same as the reuse, Wang Tingqian and Lu Zhi on the side of the imperial court, they have a lot of help to the adults in Dengzhou, and now they have no official position, and Lord Chen will also take care of them, and when there is a comeback, you are a smart person, and you should know that Lord Chen's ambitions are not only in Liaodong." ”

Gao Hongzhong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Chen's ambition, such a bird's nest does not dare to guess the degree, and when he arrives in Dengzhou, he also asks Lord Zhou to promote." ”

Zhou Wu shook his head coldly and said: "I am a person from the intelligence system, you must be a civil official in the future, our Dengzhou system is clear, and we have our own rules for doing things, and I can't help each other." With your tall talents, do a good job in Dengzhou, when the future is immeasurable, and more importantly, ......"

Zhou Wu stopped and looked at Gao Hongzhong when he said this, Gao Hongzhong hurriedly bowed down again, putting on a humble appearance, Zhou Wu squeezed out a little smile, "What's more, there are no minions in Dengzhou, you can be an upright person again." ”……

On the avenue in the south of Liaoyang City, a team of ox carts has just left the city to the south, which is full of grain bags, and there are a lot of coated wheelbarrows in front and behind, this kind of cart is also a common human tool in Liaodong, but the coated people are very thin, and there are some tired corpses of the coated clothes on the side of the road.

At the end of the group, there was a soldier in cotton armor, who was carrying two horses. Zhou Wu was dressed as an armored soldier, with a white heart and red border on his back, he disguised himself as a pond horse with a white flag, and asked for two unmarked horses from Gao Hongzhong, and one person and two horses rushed south.

He kept observing the Houjin camps on both sides of the road, and there were signs of two large camps packing up their tents, which strengthened Zhou Wu's judgment, that is, Huang Taiji was preparing to go south desperately.

On the road, the Tang horses of Houjin were constantly galloping, and there were brigades of soldiers of various flags, they did not talk to each other, and occasionally someone greeted Zhou Wu in simple Yi language, and Zhou Wu also replied in Mongolian.

The Later Jin script was created by Nurhachi, and in later generations belonged to the Altaic Tungusic language family, derived from the Mongolian language, although the Later Jin high-level repeatedly asked to use this language, but the professors were insufficient, and the foreign population of the Later Jin was also very large, including the Jurchens of the Haixi and East China Seas, and there were also many Mongolian Han Chinese, so it was often only some Manchu official words used the most, and the people used a lot of Mongolian and Chinese.

Thanks to the training of that simulated village, Zhou Wu was very familiar with the living habits of Houjin, and he didn't talk to anyone along the way, and the Tangma who pretended to deliver an urgent report just rushed to the road, from Liaoyang to Gaizhou 270 miles, to Yaozhou 200 miles, Zhou Wu set off from Liaoyang early in the morning, he had two choices, one was to gallop along the way at any cost, rush to Yaozhou around dark, and take advantage of the darkness to leave the official road to the coast of the last Tibetan ship; The second is to save the horsepower, rest on the road at night, and leave the official road during the day, even if it is discovered, you can get rid of it by horsepower.

Zhou Wu observed the situation on the road again, the Tang Horses came and went frequently, but they all came and went in a hurry, few people would bother, Zhou Wu tried to talk to the oncoming Tang Horses, and most of those Tang Horses ignored him, which provided convenience for him to cover his identity.

Zhou Wu quickly made a decision, he needed to do his best to send the news to the Dengzhou army, so that Dengzhou Town could prepare in advance, and the army could meet the main force of Houjin with leisure. Zhou Wu looked at the coated corpses on the side of the road, whipped the horse strands, and headed towards Gaizhou.
