Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 117: Leaks (1)

After Zhang Luofu listened, his heart seemed to have been struck by lightning, who leaked the news that His Majesty was still alive, this was explosive information, in order to protect His Majesty, he asked his subordinates to rush the more than forty sergeants captured in Yanqingwei to the city to chop wood, waiting for Ling Jingyang and the main force to settle in Yanqingwei, and immediately report to Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang was still discussing with the generals how to defeat the pursuers, but he received that Wang Bao sent the vanguard to capture the Yanqing Wei army, and asked the soldiers and civilians to quickly settle in Yanqingwei.

Li Li, who was pursuing behind the stone camp, was only five kilometers away from the rear army of the stone camp, and suddenly saw the Dashun army speeding up to Yanqingwei, and immediately thought that Yanqingwei was captured by the Dashun army, and angrily scolded the other parts of the Qing army, only caring about pursuing the main force of the Dashun army, but not occupying these ownerless military important places.

Hong Demao congratulated him, he looked at Hong Demao suspiciously, what is the matter with this sycophant, what is he happy about when the Dashun army captures Yanqingwei?

Hong Demao happily told him that the Dashun army occupied Yanqingwei, perhaps because they wanted to fight to the death in Yanqingwei, otherwise they would not suddenly speed up and advance towards Yanqingwei, and they could completely bypass it.

Yanqingwei has no effect on the Qing army, the Qing army occupies Yanqingwei, the Dashun army has been in front, and it can be bypassed, and the Dashun army stationed in Yanqingwei doesn't want to fight to the death here?

Li Roe deer kept nodding, but he suddenly thought that the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command was really a little low, was he really capable of fighting to the death with the Dashun army?

He asked Hong Demao if he had gathered the nearby scout cavalry, Hong Demao immediately lowered his head in shame, he was a soldier who was on guard, how could he be qualified to gather the nearby Eight Banners scouts, this morning I saw a group of Eight Banner scouts, ran over to gather them, and was beaten by a fourth-class guard with a horse whip and did not dare to speak.

Hearing that he was rewarded with a whip by the fourth-class guards, Li Roe Deer laughed happily in his heart, but he still said on the surface: "Hong Shoubei, help you vent your anger in the future." ”

Hong Demao is also smiling and not smiling, and repeatedly said that General Li has a heart, looking at Hong Demao's fake appearance, Li Demao specially appointed him as the striker, leading a thousand troops to lure the Dashun army out of the city to fight, Hong Demao was angry in his heart, obviously he gave the best advice, but Li Deli was the villain's heart, let him play the striker, what kind of goods are these troops, does Li Roe Deer have any points in his heart?

But after all, Li Roe Deer is the general of the first army, and he killed hundreds of armored people before, without blinking his eyes, Hong Demao was also afraid that Li Roe Deer would stew him with a knife, so he had to take a thousand Qing soldiers to Yanqingwei.

At this time in the Yanqing Acropolis, are the shadow of the soldiers and civilians of the stone camp, the logistics baggage troops rest for a while, and continue to advance to the north under the leadership of the old steamed buns.

The soldiers and horses of all departments did a decisive battle in Yanqingwei, and Ling Jingyang selected arrows in the arrow field, but Zhang Luofu came to Ling Jingyang mysteriously and said to him: "Captain, the last general will capture Yanqingwei and capture some sergeants, these people know that Your Majesty is in a certain Dashun army." ”

Ling Jingyang was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Luofu continued to speak: "There is also the garrison of Xuanfu Town that is determined to surrender to the Qing army, and there is a Qing army from Baoding Mansion to Xuanfu Town in the north, but it should not be as fast as our army. ”

Ling Jingyang was not shocked by the news that someone leaked that Zhu Youzhen was still alive, and he was stunned by the surrender of the Xuanfu Town garrison to the Qing army.

He asked Zhang Luofu how he knew these two pieces of information? Zhang Luofu asked his subordinates to bring the prisoners over, these prisoners worked for a long time, tired and out of breath, and were driven to the arrow field by the soldiers of the stone battalion.

One by one they were so frightened that they cried and grabbed the ground, Ling Jingyang and Zhang Luofu nodded, Zhang Luofu dragged out the five captives who spoke today, and the others all bombarded the logistics baggage camp to help transport supplies and baggage.

The five Yanqing guard soldiers stood trembling in front of Ling Jingyang, and Zhang Luofu asked them, where did they hear the news?

These people didn't dare to speak, for fear of being beheaded if they said the wrong thing, Ling Jingyang asked Dong Daqi to bring a box, which was full of white flowers and silver, and said to the soldiers: "As long as you tell me where the information came from, let them go, and the silver is also theirs." ”

The five sergeants looked at the silver, there were more than five hundred taels of silver, they looked at each other, and a soldier who looked a little older stood up and told Ling Jingyang that they were from the scattered soldiers of the Dashun army, and got the news that Emperor Chongzhen was still alive, as for the surrender of the Xuanfu Town garrison to the Qing army, there were a small number of Xuanfu Town soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing army, and went south from Xuanfu Town to Yanqing Prefecture, passing by Yanqingwei, and passed this information to the Yanqing Wei soldiers.

Before the annihilation of the pursuers, Ling Jingyang temporarily ignored the surrender of the garrison of Xuanfu Town, but who spread the rumor of Chongzhen, if it was just a rumor that Chongzhen was still alive, Ling Jingyang would not pay attention to it, but the rumor turned out to be Chongzhen in a certain Dashun army, this is almost clear-eyed, he attaches great importance to this information, and is eager to know the rumor, or where did the secret leak from?

The five sergeants replied to him that a few days ago, a group of Dashun army routs passed by here, and a person who seemed to be a general of the Dashun army stayed here for one night, and told others that Chongzhen Ye was still alive, and that he was in a certain Dashun army, and that this Dashun army could fight well and fight against the Qing army.

Ling Jingyang stood up suddenly, startling the sergeant who spoke, he did not kill the sergeant, but stuffed the silver in the box to the sergeant, and said to the sergeant: "Go on, well said, I will give you another box of silver." ”

The sergeant looked at the white flowers and silver, this is five hundred taels of silver, and if he gives him a box of silver, there will be more than a thousand taels of silver, and when he returns to his hometown with this silver, he can buy a lot of fields and be a landlord with a nourishing life.

The sergeant licked his mouth, anyway, he was already a prisoner, and he said that he would have silver and freedom in the future, he talked to Ling Jingyang about the news that Chongzhen Ye was still alive, he was an ordinary-looking general, and he was not dressed as a soldier of the old battalion of the Dashun army, like a general of the Ming army who had recently surrendered to the Dashun army, this general stayed in Yanqing for a night, and then continued to go to Shanxi.

Ling Jingyang and Zhang Luofu thought about it for a long time, and thought about it clearly, they couldn't imagine who would leak this secret, Zhang Luofu finally persuaded himself, maybe it was a long tongue spreading rumors, the blind cat met the dead mouse, and it happened that His Majesty was in Shiying, so that he and Ling Jingyang had a feeling that His Majesty was leaked in Shiying.

Ling Jingyang always believed that there must be someone deliberately spreading the news, and the only people who knew Zhu Youzhen in Shiying were him, Zhu Youzhen, Wang Chengen, and Zhang Luofu, Zhang Luofu could tell him the news, Zhang Luofu would definitely not be the one who leaked the secret, let alone him to leak the secret.

So only Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen?
