Yu Ren's heart moved, but he shook his head at Wang Zaijin. "I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds. Whatever! Whatever their tricks, I've decided to send troops tomorrow. However, in order to catch these Jurchens off guard, my men and horses can only go out at night, and they cannot light any fires in case they find out. I hope Wang Shangshu can cooperate with me. ”

Wang Zaijin glanced at Yu Ren, although he didn't know what Yu Ren was going to do, but he still decided to fully cooperate with him. Because no matter what tricks Yu Ren uses to deal with the Jurchens, there will only be benefits and no harm to him. What he is most worried about now is that Yu Ren will not go out of the customs, as long as he is out of the customs, then he will definitely start a fight with the Jurchens. As long as the fight starts, it will more or less consume some of the Jurchens' strength.

Wang Zaijin believed that with Yu Ren's talent, although he didn't dare to say that he could repel the Jurchens, he could at least give the Jurchens some consumption, and for him, these were enough, and he didn't expect Yu Ren to really be able to repel this group of Jurchens, because he knew very well what kind of people he transferred to Yu Ren. Although it is said that there are 20,000 people, in fact, most of these people are people who have just escaped from the battlefield of Quang Ninh. These people have just been frightened by the Jurchens, and they want to rely on them to compete with the Jurchens again, so they are naturally fools' dreams.

Yu Ren sent troops outside the pass at the beginning of the second day, and as soon as the team left the pass, Yu Ren immediately pulled them to the west. Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of the team, saw that Yu Ren was not leading the troops to attack the Jurchens in front, but pulling the team into this deep mountain and old forest, and couldn't help but wonder secretly.

At first, Wu Xiang could still bear it, thinking that Yu Ren wanted to go around the back of the Jurchens' tent from the mountain and surprise them. But later, the team went farther and farther into the mountain, and they had climbed the ridge of Qinglong Ridge and could see the Qinglong River under the mountain. Wu Xiang couldn't hold back any longer.

"Dashuai, where are we going?"

Yu Ren glanced at Wu Xiang, "Go to Qinglong River." ”

Wu Xiang was even more puzzled. "Didn't the big marshal say that he was going to fight the Jurchens? Why did you come to this Qinglong River, there are no Jurchens here? ”

Yu Ren gently patted Wu Xiang's shoulder. "Don't worry! They'll be here soon. As long as we wait patiently here for seven days, I guarantee that the Jurchen cavalry will arrive within seven days. ”

Wu Xiang obviously didn't believe Yu Ren's words. "How did the marshal know that the Jurchens would come here?"

Yu Ren smiled lightly, "Because I can count!" ”

Of course, Wu Xiang didn't believe that Yu Ren would calculate, but since Yu Ren refused to say, he didn't ask more. Anyway, this time to send troops, Yu Ren also said that he had a plan. Whether he has military exploits or not has nothing to do with him directly, and it is better not to meet the Jurchens. Wu Xiang was not a general transferred from other places, he had fought several battles with the Jurchens, and he had never taken advantage. Therefore, he is well aware of the interests and disadvantages of the Jurchens. If you can justifiably avoid the Jurchens, for Wu Xiang, this is the best choice.

Yu Ren pulled the team to a halt in a valley less than thirty miles from the Qinglong River. Yu Ren climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the bottom of the valley, and then began to arrange the division of labor.

Wu Xiang couldn't help frowning secretly when he saw that Yu Ren had arranged for people to plant a lot of explosives in the ground at the bottom of the valley. Although using this method to deal with the Jurchens is actually the most labor-saving and effective trick. But this also requires the Jurchens to come!

Judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible for the Jurchens to run into this barren mountain and forest for no reason. Therefore, Wu Xiang thinks that what Yu Ren is doing now is purely useless. But seeing Yu Ren's serious and eager look, as if the Jurchens were about to come, he didn't want to persuade him much. Wu Xiang thought very openly, it was a big deal to wait with Yu Renbai here for seven days, so he would think that he was going out to play with him, and there was nothing to lose anyway.

It took three days for Yu Ren to arrange everything. Then, he pulled the team to the dense forest a little far from the valley and stationed there, sending only two small groups of several hundred people to lurk on the high mountains on both sides of the valley, and when the Jurchens entered the valley, he used rockets to detonate the explosives at the bottom of the valley.

When everything was ready, Yu Ren said to Wu Xiang again, "Do you know why I said that the Jurchens will definitely come?" ”

Wu Xiang shook his head. He had been thinking about this question for many days, but no matter which way he deduced, the final result was that the Jurchens would not come. But Yu Ren wanted to swear that the Jurchens would come, and he didn't know what reason Yu Ren had.

Yu Ren saw Wu Xiang's face of disbelief, so he pointed to the canyon road under the mountain, "Do you know what's special here?" ”

Wu Xiang took a closer look at this canyon, except that this canyon was slightly longer than the average canyon, he couldn't see anything special about it. And the Jurchens would definitely not rush here because of this, and what Yu Ren was referring to was obviously not this. Therefore, Wu Xiang could only shake his head.

Yu Ren shook his head when he saw Wu Xiang and pointed to the far part of the canyon with his finger. "After this canyon, you will be at the mouth of Xifeng. You said that the customs defense of Xifengkou is compared with Shanhaiguan, how is it? ”

"Naturally, there is no way to compare with Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan has a natural trend, which is much more difficult to attack than Xifengkou, and in recent years, the imperial court has allocated silver to repair the customs many times. Today's Shanhaiguan can be said to be the first pass in the world. Naturally, it is not comparable to Xifengkou. ”

Although Wu Xiang said this, he still didn't understand what this had to do with the Jurchens.

Seeing that he still didn't comprehend, Yu Ren said again, "Do you know why those Jurchens didn't attack the mountain pass, but sent people into the mountains to search for the mountain people?" ”

Wu Xiang shook his head again.

"For they are only five thousand. This Jurchen general obviously also knew very well that it was impossible to capture Shanhaiguan with the 5,000 people in his hands. Therefore, he wanted to find another shortcut, planning to bypass Shanhaiguan and go straight to Beijing. ”

Wu Xiang finally understood this time. "What do you mean by that we deliberately lured them here, and then stopped them on the spot?"

Yu Ren nodded. "Not bad!"

"However, the Jurchens are not only heroic, but also cunning, can they be fooled?"

"Don't worry! I've already inquired about this Jurchen general. It was Yue Tuo, who suffered a loss in Zhenjiang Fort not long ago. This kid lost face in Zhenjiang last time, and this time he must want to make a miraculous feat to get back face. As long as he knows about this opportunity, he will never let it go. As for the details of the lure to the enemy, I have already arranged it, so you don't have to worry. ”

Wu Xiang didn't speak, but he still didn't believe Yu Ren's judgment. After all, the Jurchens had never done such a detour, and their war strategy had always been: whoever stood in their way would be overthrown. Although Yu Ren's analysis is reasonable, Wu Xiang believes that it does not fit the combat style of the Jurchens. So, he still didn't believe that the Jurchens would come.

Everyone waited in Qinglongling for five days, but the Jurchens did not come.

On the sixth day, just after noon, the front came to report that he had discovered the vanguard of the Jurchens in the front.

Yu Ren said to Wu Xiang, who looked incredulous, "How about it, I'm right, right?" ”

After speaking, Yu Ren ordered all armies to prepare and proceed as planned.

This Jurchen cavalry was indeed the team of men and horses led by Yue Tuo. However, the number of people is only about 4,000. Because in order to confuse the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, he deliberately left a thousand people.

Yue Tuo went down to Qinglongling, and saw that the valley in front of him was the mouth of Xifeng, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect that he had actually found a shortcut. When I thought that I was about to make this immortal achievement, I couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

"Brothers, there is Xifengkou in front of you. Let's have dinner on the Great Wall of their Han people tonight, what do you say? ”

A cheer rang out behind Yue Tuo, and then the Jurchen cavalry galloped into the valley.

When all the Jurchens entered the valley, the Ming troops lurking on both sides of the valley decisively detonated the explosives buried in the valley. For a while, the sound of explosions was everywhere, and the flames soared into the sky. There was also the sound of people shouting and neighing horses in the middle. The calm valley turned into a living hell in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Yue Tuo shouted "not good", and immediately returned to the horse and ran the way he came.

Unfortunately, the entrance was blocked by a pile of rocks, and the horses could not jump over at all. Yue Tuo had no choice but to abandon his mount and, with the help of his men, fled out of the valley with hundreds of men.

But as soon as they came out of the valley, they were blocked by Yu Ren, who happened to be rushing towards them.

Yu Ren didn't say a word, raised his knife and slashed at Yue Tuo.

At this time, Yue Tuo's arms were already injured, and when he saw Yu Ren's big knife slashing, he couldn't dodge, so he had to raise his knife to meet him.
