Chapter 405: Return to Zhenjiang again
Liu Sangu was reminded, and hurriedly returned to the bedroom, took out a small porcelain bottle from it, poured out a red pill from it and handed it to Yu Ren.
After this back and forth buffer, Liu Sangu has regained some composure. Seeing that her third aunt and Yu Ren had a good chat, it seemed that Yu Ren did not look angry. Liu Sangu's hanging heart can be regarded as a little lowered.
She handed the pill to Yu Ren, "This is the last antidote left by the family teacher." It's really not that I want to deceive you. ”
Yu Ren was also pot-bellied, and he didn't blame Liu Sangu much in this matter, but just gave the antidote to Yuqi'er first.
After taking the antidote, Yuqi'er's spirit gradually returned to normal. Yu Ren was still a little worried. Liu Sangu hurriedly took out the best tonic in the village, which made people suffer and gave it to Yuqi'er.
By the next day, she was back to normal.
Yu Ren saw that Yuqi'er had fully recovered, so he came to say goodbye to Liu Sangu and borrowed a horse from her by the way. As for Yuqi'er, Yu Ren didn't think about her anymore. Since the people in the Li family's village already knew her identity, they would not dare to embarrass her no matter what. And he didn't plan to take her back as a prisoner. Where she wants to go, Yu Ren doesn't care about her.
When Yu Ren went to say goodbye to Aunt Liu, Yuqi'er was still sleeping. She was so tired during this time that she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. When she woke up, the little girl who was waiting for her told her that Yu Ren had left.
When Yuqi'er heard this, she got up from the bed with a grunt, put on her clothes and went to find Liu Sangu.
Liu Sangu was talking to a few elders. Although Yu Ren said that he would not blame them for capturing Yu Ren, everyone was still a little uneasy in their hearts. When everyone was discussing how to eliminate this hidden danger and send something to Yu Ren to make amends, Yuqi'er broke in.
"Liu Sangu, what did you do. How to let him go. ”
Seeing that it was Yuqi'er, Liu Sangu quickly stood up. Now that she knows her Jurchen Gege's identity, of course Liu Sangu doesn't dare to hold her up in front of her. But after listening to Yu Qi'er's questioning, Liu Sangu was also aggrieved. Xindao, you two should be life and death rivals, and I'm still wondering how you got together! Now that they're gone, you're coming to me for someone.
I can't afford to offend any of you two Bodhisattvas. People are leaving. What can you do for me!
However, although Liu Sangu thought so in her heart, she naturally didn't dare to say so. Although she didn't have a deep deal with Yuqi'er, Liu Sangu also saw something. This Yu Gege is a very straightforward person. Judging by what she did to Yu Ren, she may have fallen in love with him.
As for how these two original opponents met, and whether Yu Ren would accept Yu Qi'er, Liu Sangu didn't care about this. What she has to do now is to try to satisfy Yu Ren and Yuqi'er's request, so that they will no longer have any dissatisfaction with themselves and the Li family, and that is enough.
As for the gossip between the two of them, Liu Sangu is willing to take care of it, and she doesn't dare to take care of it.
Thinking of this, Liu Sangu hurriedly said, "It's not that I let him go, Gege." It's him who wants to go. You also know that with General Yu's identity, he wants to leave, and I dare to stop him!
However, General Yu asked me to leave you a message, saying that he would return to Zhenjiang first. As for where you want to go, he doesn't care, but I advise you not to take the waterway back to Liaoyang again. To go back, you can take the land route. He won't send anyone to stop you. ”
Yuqi'er blamed Liu Sangu for this, naturally because she was in a bad mood when she heard the news of Yu Ren's departure. In fact, she also knew that Liu Sangu was not to blame for this. At this time, I heard that Yu Ren also deliberately left a message for himself, and his mood was much better. At least it shows that he cares about himself.
Speaking of Yu Ren, he got up early in the morning and left Lijiazhai. Knowing that Nurhachi's march to Quang Ninh was imminent, he had to gather his greatest strength as soon as possible and deliver a heavy blow to the Jurchens behind them.
This blow must hurt him, so that Nurhachi did not dare to enter the Shanhaiguan East. Otherwise, as soon as the Shanhaiguan Pass is broken, the situation in the world will no longer be able to be cleaned up.
Yu Ren asked for two horses and rushed to Zhenjiang day and night.
That night, they rushed to Zhenjiang City. When Liang Zongyi and the others saw Yu Ren appear, they were all taken aback. At first, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the city, and thought it was the cavalry of the Jurchens, but when they saw Yu Ren clearly, Liang Zongyi hurriedly led people to open the city gate and welcome Yu Ren in.
Princess Mochizuki didn't come, because she heard that Yu Ren had been kidnapped back to Liaoyang by Yuqi'er, and she had already taken a boat to go back to Shandong to move the rescue troops. She also knew that although she was a princess, it was impossible to go to the capital to move rescue soldiers. She, the princess, was only crowned by the emperor for her father's contribution to quelling the Shandong Rebellion. Her roots are still in Shandong.
Yu Ren returned to Zhenjiang and immediately gathered everyone to inquire about the recent situation. Hearing that everyone temporarily gave up the attack on the surrounding Jurchens to occupy the cities in order to find him, Yu Ren scolded Liang Zongyi and Ma Dacheng first, and then immediately arranged for the men and horses to attack the several Jurchen cities around Zhenjiang City one by one, and quickly took down all the remaining cities before the reinforcements from the Jurchen Liaoyang arrived.
In addition, Yu Ren sent people to Guanglu Island to summon Cao Wenzhao to discuss the plan. At the same time, he also asked Cao Wenzhao to invite Liu, the big boss of Changshan Island, to Zhenjiang to discuss the plan together. Yu Ren believes that Liu will definitely come. Because the Liu family has a grudge against the Jurchens.
Yu Ren knew very well that his current strength in Liaodong was too small, and the Jurchens would never be willing to lose Zhenjiang like this, and they would definitely send troops to fight back. If he didn't expand the real as soon as possible, as soon as the Jurchen army arrived, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
And the fastest way to expand your strength is naturally to integrate your existing strength. Around Zhenjiang at the moment, the forces that can be used by him are mainly Cao Wenzhao and Liu. What's more, although the Liu family is a pirate, their family lives in Zhenjiang Fort. The connections in this area are basically very good, and with her strength, she can quickly consolidate her control over Zhenjiang.
As for the future situation, Yu Ren has a very clear view. After the Jurchens learned that Zhenjiang City had failed, they would inevitably send troops to recapture it. However, this force will not be too large. Because at the moment, the most important thing for Nurhachi is to attack Quang Ninh.
At such a critical moment, of course, he would not distract too much energy for a small Zhenjiang City.
Therefore, Yu Ren's judgment is that this time the Jurchens' soldiers and horses will be between 1,000 and 3,000. Regardless of success or failure, Nurhachi will not send any more troops and horses until the end of the battle of Quang Ninh.
At present, Nurhachi, who is bent on the east, will not pay attention to this little matter of Zhenjiang at all. And what Yu Ren has to do is to shake his determination to go east.
Cao Wenzhao and Liu's affairs were discussed very smoothly. After Liu heard that the person who captured Zhenjiang Fort was Yu Ren, he immediately rushed to Zhenjiang with several cronies and subordinates and Cao Wenzhao.
I saw that Yu Ren was actually the boy who was embarrassed by himself on the island that day. Liu was taken aback. However, Yu Ren didn't seem to take that day's events to heart, and during the conversation between the two, Yu Ren also took the initiative to mention the events of that day, saying that there was a feeling as if he was back in his youth. Liu was a little hearted at this time.
Yu Ren prepared a complete plan for the annihilation of the upcoming Jurchen cavalry. His heart is very big, and the most scarce material for him at the moment is war horses. He's made the arrangements. Although in this part of Liaodong, because his foundation is too shallow, he can't recruit any soldiers and horses for the time being, even if he forcibly pulls up the team, he is not stubborn, and he will inevitably collapse in the event of a big war. But he has a force at work in Shandong.
Zhang Pan, who had been temporarily arranged by him under Li Zhaoji, the general soldier of Shandong, was the one step he left behind. Zhang Pan was under Li Zhaoji, and Li Zhaoji did not trust him. On the one hand, this is of course because Zhang Pan's background is not correct, and on the other hand, it is also because he is Yu Ren's cronies. Although Li Zhaoji's contribution to the Shandong Rebellion this time can be said to be almost given to him by Yu Ren, he does not want to become a puppet of Yu Ren. Therefore, after the pacification of Shandong, they began to try their best to squeeze out the forces left by Yu Ren and try to eliminate his influence.
And to do this, the main goal is to open the plate. Therefore, Li Zhaoji scattered the more than 2,000 brave soldiers under Zhang Pan to various places, and assigned them the tasks mainly to feed horses and cook meals.
If it weren't for Yu Ren's deep conversation with Zhang Pan before entering Beijing, and asking him to tell his brothers to be patient for a while, he promised that they would soon be useful, and these people would have stopped doing it a long time ago.
After Yu Ren arrived in Liaodong, he immediately sent a crony to Jinan to meet Zhang Pan, asking him to gather his men as soon as possible and join him in Zhenjiang. He believed that as the leader of the Lu faction, it should not be difficult for Qi Shijiao to build a few ships.
In this way, when the two thousand people of Zhang Pan came, the most lacking thing was the war horse. They could bring their own weapons, but horses were not easy to transport from the sea, and they didn't have them.
So, Yu Ren set his eyes on the upcoming Jurchen reinforcements.
