Chapter 286: Fake and True

Two days later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A wolf cavalry guard with a team of Guanning iron cavalry finally rushed to Shanhaiguan after a non-stop wild run.

The Liaodong border army, which was waiting in Shanhaiguan, was overjoyed when they saw the wolf cavalry guards and Guanning iron cavalry who came back from outside the pass, and did not dare to have any delay, so they opened the city gate in the fastest time and welcomed them into the city.

Passing through the Fuchu.

"Smack!"

After reading the letterhead sent by Li Mu, Sun Chengzong slapped the letterhead on the desk with emotion, stood up, and smiled at the Liaodong generals present: "Great victory, Lord Li won a big victory in Shenyang City." ”

For a while, all the generals of Liaodong who came to inquire about the news stood up and looked at the letterhead on the desk in disbelief.

"What? My lord, do you say that Master Li is a big winner? Yuan Chonghuan stood up and wanted to walk towards the desk, but he didn't dare to cross the rules, so he could only keep staring at the letterhead.

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "Element, that's what the letterhead said, in the battle of Shenyang City, Lord Li led the wolf cavalry guard and Guanning Iron Cavalry outside Shenyang City, beheaded 120,000 Jurchen Eight Banners, and captured countless ones, and now they are coming towards Shanhaiguan with the capture, hoping that the Liaodong Border Army can send a large number of chariots and horses to meet it, saying that there are too many goods, and the road is a little slow." ”

Yuan Chonghuan was surprised: "How is it possible." ”

Beheading 120,000 Jurchen Eight Banners, this is simply a fantasy, since the confrontation between the Liaodong Border Army and the Jurchen Eight Banners, the large and small battles combined, the Jurchen Eight Banners killed are impossible to reach the number of people killed in this surprise attack on Shenyang City.

It was shocking.

"My lord, will this letterhead be fake, it is a trick used by the Jurchen Eight Banners, wanting to deceive the Liaodong border army in Shanhaiguan out of the pass, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop, so as to open Shanhaiguan, drive straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and coerce the capital division to important places."

After speaking, Yuan Chenghuan nodded self-identification, only for this reason can he explain the content on the letterhead.

"Yes, what if it's a Jurchen Eight Banners' scam?"

"Yes, what Lord Yuan said is very reasonable, Lord Jinglu, our Liaodong Border Army has the longest deal with the Jurchen Eight Banners, what kind of strength is the Jurchen Eight Banners, the Liaodong Border Army knows best, 23,000 Ming Iron Cavalry, how can it be possible to behead 120,000 heads, there are too many loopholes in the content of this letterhead." Zu Dashou also stood up and analyzed.

"In this way, it is really possible, if the Jurchen Eight Banners are really as said on the letterhead, the troubles on the eastern border of Liaodong have already been solved, where can they be used until now."

"Yes, the content on the letterhead is too fake, and Lord Jingluo can't believe it."

....

Let these subordinates around him question for a moment, Sun Chengzong also regained his composure, and pondered carefully, he really wanted to see the victory of the Ming army's surprise attack on Shenyang City in his heart.

After seeing the content of the letterhead, I subconsciously chose to believe it.

Now that I have come to my senses, I look at the letterhead on the desk again, it is indeed as my subordinates said, it is too exaggerated, and the Jurchen Eight Banners are beheaded 120,000.

Not to mention him, even if he reports to the Ministry of War, he may be reprimanded by the next chapter.

Convict of lying about the military situation and greedy for merit.

Although there is a phenomenon of lying about military achievements in the army, it is really too exaggerated to directly lie about the 120,000 beheadings as written on the letterhead.

Remove the ten and leave the 20,000 alone, Sun Chengzong feels that it is a bit much, you must know that Ning Jin's victory is only a few thousand people killed in the Jurchen Eight Banners, less than 10,000.

Just when Sun Chengzong was thinking about what to do, Yuan Chonghuan spoke again: "Lord Jingluo, I don't know if the messenger who sent the letter can be strict?" ”

"What's the Element's Question?" Sun Chengzong asked suspiciously.

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Lord Jinglu, if you want to know whether the content on the letterhead is true or false, just bring the messenger who sent the letter and ask it, don't you understand everything?" ”

"That's right, Lord Jinglu, call those messengers who deliver the letters, whether they are true or not, and you will know as soon as you ask."

"yes, it's useless for us to guess here."

....

Seeing that his subordinates were all saying this, Sun Chengzong nodded, and asked people to find those messengers who entered Shanhaiguan from outside the customs.

Not long after, the messengers sent by Li Mu to Shanhaiguan to deliver the letter were all brought to the hall.

"I have seen you in the lower ranks." One of them, Guan Ning Tieqi, stepped forward and said.

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and smiled, holding the letterhead in his hand, and asked softly: "The old man asked you, but this letterhead was handed over to you by Master Li himself?" ”

The Guan Ning Iron Rider looked at the letterhead, then looked at Sun Chengzong, and replied: "Yes, my lord, but this letterhead was not handed over to the lowly Guan Ning Iron Rider, but Lord Li personally handed it over to the wolf rider. ”

The voice fell, and he pointed to the burly wolf rider in the middle.

At this time, Zu Dashou walked to Sun Chengzong's side, leaned over and said softly: "My lord, these people are indeed the Guanning Iron Cavalry of our Ming Liaodong Border Army, and the last general will recognize them." ”

Seeing that Zu Dashou could prove the identity of these people, Sun Chengzong smiled with his eyebrows, and at least half of his heart believed the content of the letterhead.

"Then tell the old man in detail, how did Master Li kill the 120,000 Jurchen Eight Banners?"

The Guan Ning Iron Rider retorted: "My lord, the Jurchen Eight Banners killed by Lord Li in this surprise attack on Shenyang City are not 120,000. ”

"Sure enough, I'll just say, how can the Jurchen Eight Banners be so easy to kill."

"It seems that even if this letter is true, it is a lie about military exploits."

....

Looking at the Liaodong generals present questioning the content of the letter, this Guanning iron knight suddenly became emboldened as if he had been slandered, and shouted: "My lords, if the letterhead says that 120,000 were killed, the number is indeed wrong, not more, but less, the Jurchen Eight Banners killed by Lord Li should be 122,000 people, if you count the Jurchens in the city, you think that more than 130,000 are you." ”

Ignoring the voice-absorbing Liaodong generals, this Guanning Iron Cavalry straightened his chest and told everything he knew about what they had done in Shenyang City during this time.

Listening to the narration of this Guanning iron horseman, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and all the Liaodong generals were full of incredulity in their eyes.

"That's all the lowly knows." After speaking, the Guan Ning Iron Rider stood back in the team and did not say anything more.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Chengzong said slowly: "I didn't expect that the wolf cavalry guards under the command of Master Li were so strong, and they dared to shake more than 100,000 Jurchen Eight Banners with only 800 horses. ”

After sighing, Sun Chengzong instructed: "Prepare the carriages and horses, go out of the customs to greet Lord Li and his party, and report the good news to the capital, just say that Shenyang City is a great victory, and send Lord Li's letterhead to the capital together." ”
