"Governor? Don't be in a hurry, say slowly, who is the governor of your family? ”

Only then did Mr. Qian straighten up and replied with sadness: "The villain Wang Fifteen, I can't hide it, the governor of my family is the chief soldier of Datong Town today, surnamed Wang Zhipu!" ”

Wang Pu? As a senior lover of Ming history, Li Xin has naturally heard of the name of this Wang Pu, but it is diametrically opposed to the Shanxi General Soldier Tiger Dawei he met before, and this person's reputation is extremely unbearable. When he was the chief soldier of the Beijing battalion, he coveted money and was bribed by thieves, and Zhang Li's generation, who was originally surrounded by death, escaped and revived.

Later, the general army of the eight towns went to Liaodong to participate in the Great War of Preference under the command of Hong Chengchou, Wang Pu and Wu Sangui took the lead in escaping, causing tens of thousands of Ming troops to rush to escape, trample on each other, and collapse without a fight. In the end, he was executed by Chongzhen as the only scapegoat, and it ended miserably.

Based on the above cognition, Wang Pu should not be in much danger now, and if he wants to die, he will have to wait until a few years later to be sentenced to death by Emperor Chongzhen.

"Order, the whole army stops advancing!"

Li Xin ordered the troops to stop marching, and after encountering this Wang 15, he felt that the enemy situation in front of him was unknown, and he should be cautious. Then he said to Mr. Qian, who claimed to be Wang Fifteen:

"Don't worry, you can tell me the cause and effect in detail!"

If the identity described by this person is true, with the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty at this time, there is a good chance that this person named Wang 15 is Wang Pu's family. Only the family would be so worried about the safety of the head of the family and ask outsiders for help. If it were an ordinary subordinate, I am afraid that he would have escaped without a trace at this moment.

"The villain followed all the way from Xian County, Lord Lu's soldiers and horses went all the way south, my family governor was surrounded by the Tartars in Xian County, and he couldn't break through, he didn't want to be taken, and he was taken captive by the Tartars......" The Qian Zong named Wang 15 said that the situation began to become excited, "The villain escaped with his life, and followed the Tartars all the way to this Suning, my family governor is now in the Suning city in front of me, please save my family governor!" ”

I lost the road in a snowstorm overnight, and I accidentally bumped into Suning. Suning is a county in the west of Hejian Province and is the only way to Baoding Province. Hearing that Suning also fell into the hands of the Tartars, Li Xin sighed for a while, although he had known that Hejian Mansion had almost been swept away by the Tartars, but it was a different feeling to hear Wang Fifteen say it himself.

The wheel of history that Li Xin originally tried his best to stop is still rolling forward, except for a little deviation outside Gaoyang City, and he has not fallen according to the original history so far, and the rest is still moving forward according to the original trajectory of history. No, there is another deviation, that is, this Wang Pu. If according to the memory of his previous life, Wang Pu did not enter the southern part of Zhili with Lu Xiangsheng, and should have hooked up with Gao Qiqian, the prison army. It's a bit unbelievable that he has been captured in a battle now.

But having said that, Li Xin couldn't just say a few words with empty teeth and a few words to conclude that Wang Pu must be in Suning City. In the troubled times, all parties competed, and conspiracies and tricks emerged one after another, who can guarantee that Wang Fifteen, who claims to be Wang Pujiading, will be safe and reliable?

"Wang Fifteen, right?"

"It's the villain!"

Because he was afraid of exposing his hiding, he couldn't raise a fire in the dark night, but Li Xin seemed to feel the burning sensation of the eyes of the people under the horse through the barrier of the night, which must have been full of despair and expectation. If this person is acting, then he will definitely be able to win the Oscar 400 years later.

"There is no basis for your words, how do you prove that Wang Pu is in Suning City, and how can you prove that you are Wang Pu's family?"

"This, what the villain said is true! Please also have a good understanding! ”

Wang Fifteen saw that Li Xin doubted his identity, and his tone was a little impatient.

"If you don't believe it, please send someone to follow the villain, the villain found a dog hole under the city wall of Suning, which can allow one person to climb through. The villain had ventured in a few times before meeting the adults. Only then did I find out that there were not many Tartars in the city, but only a few hundred, and they were basically two Tartars......"

Although what Wang Fifteen said was getting more and more outrageous, Li Xin was still intuitively convinced that what he said was basically true, but Lu Jiu and Zhang Shi didn't think so at all.

"Teach and learn, be careful, since the front is a county occupied by the Tartars, it is the best policy for us to avoid it!"

"Thirteenth brother, according to Lu Jiu, this person is a spy released by the Tartars, where is there such a coincidence in the world, there is a dog hole under the city wall?"

Lu Zhang and the two of them are not low in this team, Wang Shifu can see it, seeing that these two people think he is a spy and are also anxious, he was about to refute it, but he heard Li Xin say: "Don't fight, it's still early in the morning, it's better to send a bold person to explore the way with him." ”

Only then did Wang 15 turn his worries into joy.

"My lord, less than a mile in front of us is the Suning City Wall, and under the city wall is where the dog cave is located."

Li Xin was shocked, he never expected that the march under the dark night would be so close to Suning City without realizing it, if he really bumped into the Tartar scouts, the consequences would be unimaginable. Seeing that Li Xin insisted repeatedly, Lu Jiu summoned a person in the team and instructed:

"Go and come back quickly, be careful!"

The soldier nodded, and disappeared into the night with the king fifteen. At the same time, Li Xin hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat two miles, and he only took Lu Jiu and a dozen riders and waited in place.

After about half an hour, Wang 15 and the soldier ran back one after the other.

Lu Jiu hurriedly stepped forward, "How?" ”

The soldier rubbed his hands and smacked his tongue: "I can see clearly, it's a thief hole!" ”

"Cave thieves?"

"Yes, Cave Thief!"

Li Xin watched the conversation between the two and felt a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, "You mean the tomb robbery hole?" ”

The soldier grinned and said, "As the thirteenth brother said, it is a tomb robbery hole!" He saw Li Xin's surprise on his face, so he explained: "It is estimated that the top of the tomb is under the city wall, and it is really not easy for that group of people to hollow out the rammed foundation of the city wall. ”

Lu Jiuqi said: "Can't you dig it with your ability?" Do you know whose tomb it is? "Two questions in a row. Li Xin interrupted, "I'll talk about the tomb robbery later, but the robbery hole leads to the inside and outside of the city?" ”

"Exactly, the thief hole is very narrow, even if a thin person wants to climb over, it is difficult to get tight! At first, there are two zhang straight down, and then it turns gentle, entering the city from the bottom of the city wall, and the exit is also straight up two zhang, and it takes a lot of effort to climb up. ”

"Have you ever entered the city?"

"Back to the thirteenth brother, I went in, the people in the city were ten rooms and nine empty, and the Tartar city defense was tight on the outside and loose on the inside. It's just that these hundreds of us want to get through the guò thief cave and attack the city, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Li Xin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, no matter whether what Wang 15 said was true or not, there was an opportunity in front of him.

"Lu Jiu, go find a dozen burlap bags!"

Previously, he had collected a lot of burlap bags from the Tartars' looted goods, and now they could come in handy.

"It's for the sake of breaking the city!"

Li Xin personally led people to the two carts filled with gunpowder and gave an order.

"Load! Load it all! ”

Soon they were filled with thirteen bags of gunpowder, and the sacks of burlap were propped up, all the size of a man.

"Lu Jiu, you personally take people down and seal the bottom of the thief cave with these burlap bags."

Li Xin's arrangement made Lu Jiu smell a hint of something unusual, and faintly sensed what Li Xin was going to do, but with deep suspicions, he could break the city by doing so? In fact, Li Xin didn't dare to guarantee whether he would succeed, but he would naturally not give up this opportunity to stab Tartar, no matter whether what Wang Fifteen said was true or not, he would blow it up. The only thing that cannot be guaranteed now is whether the burning power of these dozen bags of gunpowder will be enough to blast the rammed earth walls apart.

The team of people and horses were waiting three miles away from Suning City, Li Xin Lu Jiu personally picked out a dozen thin and powerful horse thieves, one of them carried a bag of gunpowder, and followed the soldiers who had explored the road before to Suning City. Before leaving, he told Zhang Shi that once he heard the explosion under Suning City, he would charge with all his men and horses.

Zhang Shi didn't know why, but Li Xin didn't have time to explain more, just repeatedly told him that as long as he heard the explosion, he must rush to the city of Suning in front of him.

Wang 15 was left in place and handed over to Zhang Shi to watch the officials, just in case, Li Xin certainly couldn't go to the city with an uncertain factor. Without Li Xin, there is really no second person who can replace him, because others don't understand the principle of this explosion.

The group cautiously arrived at the bottom of the city, and the soldier led the people to see it, and hid a small inconspicuous hole under a slope against the city wall, which would have been difficult to find even if they had not been aware of it in advance, and that there was a hole for thieves.

Li Xin asked people to pack a few bags of soil, although the snow was heavy at this time, but the ground was not frozen, and the sacks of burlap the thickness of one person were full of mud and stones. Then he ordered the passing soldier to push the burlap bag full of dirt down and block it at the exit of the city, because the hole was narrow, and it was very slow to walk back and forth underneath. But fortunately, the section of the robbery hole that crosses the bottom of the city wall is dug out of a relatively large space every short distance, just enough to allow the next person to turn around, and those who go down will not be trapped in the place and unable to come back.

After only two round-trips, the pathfinder soldier was tired, and then he was replaced by another person who pushed the burlap bag full of gunpowder down, and so on three times before another person was replaced. This went on and on until the day was about to dawn, and not a single Tartar in the city noticed that a dozen people were already busy working under the city in the middle of the night.

More than a dozen sacks were finally buried in the hole under the city wall, Li Xin was the last to go down, and the finishing work could only be done by him, and the gunpowder sacks did not fill the hole that crossed the bottom of the city wall. Li Xin tore open the last bag of gunpowder and sprinkled a thick layer on the mouth of the stacked burlap bag. Sprinkle it underneath and back off......
