Chapter 124: Zu Dashou Reduces Gold (1)
"Why did Mr. Fan say that?" It was Dai Shan who asked, looking at Fan Wencheng with a smile.
Fan Wencheng bowed down and bowed to Da Beile, and then said with a smile: "The slave said that the time is ripe, but it is not without a purpose, but there is a reason. This reason is very credible, otherwise the minions would not dare to say such a positive thing. ”
Hearing this, Huang Taiji smiled, raised his hand and said, "Then Lao Wencheng will tell me this reason."
Fan Wencheng hurriedly said: "This time, Zhang Chun Lao'er led 40,000 Ming troops to help, and the artillery battalion of the Han Army Banner in the West House was under artillery fire on the bank of the Xiaoling River, and the sound of the cannon could be heard clearly and clearly from miles away. Knowing but not daring to fight, one of them was frightened by the Khan's strategy, and he didn't know whether it was true or false, so he didn't dare to send troops to respond. The second is that there is no food in his city."
Dai Shan listened, nodded and said: "Zu Dashou was indeed deceived by the fake reinforcements of the King of Khan, and he folded three or four thousand people last time, which was enough for him to feel distressed." This time, if he can't see the Ming army under the city, where will he dare to go out of the city, otherwise, if we eat him thousands more, he won't have to defend the city. ”
After a pause, he asked Fan Wencheng strangely: "But to say that he has run out of food, I'm afraid he won't." A few days ago, his Liaodong soldiers only came out of the city, and they were all alive and well, and they didn't look like they were running out of food. If the grain and grass in the city are really not enough to eat, Zu Dashou will reduce the rations of the soldiers, and there will be no agitation as he saw before. Well, it's only been a few days, and it doesn't look like it's out of food, Mr. Fan said that he was out of food, and Ben Baylor couldn't agree. ”
Seeing that Dai Shan didn't believe it, Fan Wencheng was not in a hurry, but pinched his hands and calculated: "Da Beile, the slave calculated an account for Zu Dashou, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, if each person eats one and a half catties of grain every day, it will be 45,000 catties a day, 450,000 catties in ten days, 1.35 million catties in 30 days, plus the forage of the war horses, it will be at least 1.8 million catties." Dalinghe City is not a granary, all the grain and grass are sent by Jinzhou, and then transported after eating, at most ten days and half a month at a time, it is impossible to transport millions of catties at a time. And since the siege of the city by the army, Jinzhou has not dared to transport grain, so from the perspective of the minions, the city must have run out of food, if there is no food, and there is no self-produced grain in this Dalinghe city, what can he rely on to live as a city of soldiers and civilians?"
"Mr. Fan is right, there is no food in the city."
Fan Wencheng's accounts were calculated very carefully, and when combined with the siege period, everyone naturally thought that the grain and grass in the city would definitely be gone.
Dai Shan quipped: "Mr. Fan is not only very good at making suggestions, but this is also very exciting, and he can really be a big housekeeper."
Fan Wencheng hurriedly said modestly: "The slave is just a rough calculation, and all the colleagues in this account can calculate it, which is really not worthy of the praise of Big Baylor." In my heart, I yearn for the "big butler", the big housekeeper of a country is not the prime minister, and if you put it in the Ming Dynasty, it is also the high position of the first assistant. If you can be the prime minister of Dajin in this life, it will not be a waste of this life.
Ning Wan glanced at Fan Wencheng sourly, and Bao Chengxian only caressed his thighs, although he applied medicine, it still hurt badly.
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, and then said happily: "Wen Cheng is reasonable, but the situation in Ben Khan City is probably more serious than we imagined. When it comes to persuasion, Ben Khan sees that the time is ripe. Well, this persuasion was unstoppable, and the order was sent down, asking all the newly surrendered Han officials to write a letter to the old ones in the city, telling them the news of the destruction of Zhang Chun's reinforcements. Also... I have to choose someone who has an old relationship with my ancestors, and go to the city to talk to his ancestors in person, but I don't know who can go?" His eyes fell on the group of Han officials who came to accompany him, searching for suitable candidates.
In the line of sight, I saw the deputy general Shi Tingzhu's body move, and he came out and said: "King Khan, Zu Zerun, the son of Zu Dashou, sent someone to find the last general half an hour ago."
"Oh?"
Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Ben Khan said, Zu Dashou is also a person who understands current affairs." ”
Azig glanced at Shi Tingzhu strangely and asked, "Why did Zu Zerun look for you and not anyone else?" faintly doubted whether Shi Tingdong had a private connection with Zu Dashou.
Seeing that the Twelve Belle Lords doubted themselves, Shi Tingzhu panicked and hurriedly said: "Back to the Twelve Belle Lords, the last general and Zu Zerun are righteous brothers, and before the last general invests in Dajin, Zu Dashou takes great care of the last general."
"How did Lord Ben Belle not know about these things?" Azig was unrelenting, staring at Shi Tingdong with a pair of eyes, and Dolgon and Yue Tuo were also suspicious of Shi Tingdong.
Shi Tingdong had no choice but to explain again: "Back to Lord Belle, after the last general invested in the big gold, people are humble, how can Lord Belle ask the last general about the previous things, the last general is also afraid that these things will be said, and the Great Khan will suspect that the small will is not strong, so he will not dare to say it."
"I see."
Azig relieved his doubts, indeed, if Shi Tingdong hadn't stood up by himself, he hadn't taken this general to heart, so where would he ask him about the past. Turning his face to Huang Taiji, he said: "King Khan, since General Shi and Zu Dashou's son are righteous brothers, according to the courtier's brother, this candidate for entering the city is the best for him."
Huang Taiji nodded again and again, but still consulted Shi Tingzhu's opinion: "I don't know if General Shi is willing to go to the city to persuade him to surrender on behalf of Ben Khan?"
"The last general is willing to go" Where would Shi Tingdong say that he was unwilling, not to mention that this is the wealth sent to the door, Zu Zerun's envoy made it clear that the purpose of looking for him was to get on the line with Jin Jun and make it convenient. Now that the Ming army reinforcements are defeated, Zu Dashou will definitely surrender, which will make others enter the city to persuade him to surrender, which is Shi Tingdong's biggest loss.
Listening to Shi Tingzhu's wish, Huang Taiji said happily: "After the matter is completed, there will be many rewards"
"King Shekhan"
Shi Tingdong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times, Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan to take him to the back account, and after explaining some important things, he would find a way to enter the city to see Zu Dashou.
…………
After drinking the wine at the banquet, all the Han officials retreated one after another, and Yue Tuo, Sakhalian and others also went back to deal with the battle today, after all, this battle is not easy to win, the loss of each flag is too great, the number of casualties must be counted, and the loss of war horses and armor must also be counted, and then summarized and reported to the Khan King to know.
In the end, there were only seven people left in the tent, Huang Taiji, Daishan, Jierharang, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoyi, and Mang Gurtai was nowhere to be found, and someone saw him leading his own soldiers back to Shenyang.
There is Haoge in the city of Shenyang, and there are two yellow flag generals who are loyal to themselves, Mang Gurtai's personal soldiers are only a few hundred people, even if they run back, they can't set off a big wave, Huang Taiji is anxious to solve the Daling River, and began to consider whether to take advantage of the situation to take Jinzhou, so he ignored him, as long as the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Degut rushed back with two thousand cavalry, if Mang Gurtai rebelled, he would be arrested, if he did not move, he would be encircled, and the Belle Conference would be held after the sweat tent returned, Execute this Hun man who almost killed him by the heavy armor of the Ming army
