In the evening of Xiaoling River, the evening wind swept up snowflakes and swept the camp of the Jin army.

Huang Taiji wore a thick cotton jacket on the outside of the cotton armor. A waist knife made of stainless steel hangs from his waist with the handle facing back. Behind the fat body, leaving deep footprints.

His gaze crossed the Xiaoling River and looked at the quiet city of Jinzhou in the distance.

As the khan of the Dajin Kingdom, Huang Taiji's heart was full of worries.

The Eastern Expedition ended hastily. The population of Dajin was plundered again. The newly appointed Great Khan suffered a series of blows as soon as he came to power, and he couldn't hang up his face and heart.

In order to save face and establish prestige, he could only lead the army to knock Jinzhou City hard.

Squeaky ......

It's the sound of feet stepping on snow.

The guards around him did not stop him, which proved that the people he sent out had returned.

Therefore, Huang Taiji did not look back: "Fifth Brother Liu, how is the situation?" ”

"Extremely bad." Liu Xingzhi sighed and said, "The minister gathered the sentry spies that our army collected from all over the country, and counted the number of people, and there were only thirty people. ”

Huang Taiji frowned slightly, and turned around, "Meaning, I divided my troops in three ways, and I didn't even catch a few small shrimps!" ”

Liu Xingzhi nodded.

Huang Taiji took a deep breath, and his lungs were about to be blown up.

When his father Khan was alive, the Ming army was as stupid as pigs, and they always went out of the city to fight. Even in the later part of his old man's life, except for a small loss from Yang Chengying, he was not like today.

When it was his turn to be the Great Khan, all he encountered was a slippery Ming army like a loach.

"Let's go! Let's go see them. ”

Huang Taiji took a step and left deep footprints on the snow.

Liu Xingzhi followed behind him.

The group came to the cell where Liu Xingzhi was holding the Ming army sentry spies.

It is said to be a prison cell, but it is actually a large tent.

In the tent, the Ming army sentry sentry was tied with ropes and squatted around a pot of charcoal.

This was all done by Liu Xingzhi in accordance with Huang Taiji's orders.

There were soldiers on all sides, and they were in the middle of the Houjin military camp, so they didn't worry about them escaping at all.

Huang Taiji walked inside.

As soon as the Ming army saw such a burly person coming in, they were all frightened and retreated, and instinctively shrank together.

"This is the Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, and you still don't kneel down!"

Liu Xingzhi scolded in fluent Chinese.

The Ming army looked at each other and refused to bow down.

Liu Xingzhi frowned and shouted, "Come on, give these guys a little color." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Taiji raised his hand to stop: "Slow!" ”

The Houjin army, who had already entered the account, stopped when he heard the sound.

Huang Taiji took a step forward, and Liu Xingzhi hurriedly followed.

"You want to live? I still want to die! ”

Huang Taiji asked Ming Jun in a deep voice in unfamiliar Chinese.

Who wants to die if they can live?

The Ming army said one after another that they wanted to live.

"That's good." A strange smile appeared at the corner of Huang Taiji's mouth, "I'll let you go now, you will immediately go outside Jinzhou City, and ask Zhao Shujiao, who is guarding the city, to open the door for you." ”

"Great Khan ......" Liu Xingzhi was taken aback and tried to stop it.

In fact, Liu Xingzhi knows very well what kind of person Huang Taiji is, and he must have other plans to let these Ming soldiers go, and he is just cooperating with him to act.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji turned his head to him and said, "Don't persuade me, this Great Khan has the virtue of a good life." These little shrimps don't have much impact on killing or releasing them, so why not do a good deed! ”

"Hey, I understand." Liu Xingzhi took a step back as a sign of respect.

Huang Taiji glanced at Liu Xingzhi, and as soon as Liu Xingzhi waved his hand, several soldiers of the Houjin Army immediately came in.

"Pull them out of the camp and let them go!"

Liu Xingzhi ordered.

The Houjin soldiers did not hesitate and stepped forward to drive these Ming troops away from the big tent.

Looking at their distant backs, Huang Taiji ordered Haoge: "Lead the army to follow them, and when you see the city gate wide open, immediately open a killing ring, and use the rout to kill into the city." ”

"Whoa, Father Khan." Hauge strode away.

Huang Taiji was still not at ease, and he personally led Turushe and Rausa and other elites of the Zhenghuang Banner, as well as Liu Xingzuo's Han army to follow behind, ready to support at any time.

However, when these Ming troops arrived at the city and called for the door, Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier defending the city, said that he would not open the door at all.

Looking at the Ming army kneeling in front of the city gate and crying in the distance, Liu Xingzhi whispered: "Great Khan, this trick seems to be useless. ”

Huang Taiji was also very depressed: "This Ming army is really well prepared. ”

What he said was Yuan Chonghuan's arrangements before the arrival of the Houjin army, which was very thorough.

Yuan Chonghuan took the most obedient Zhao Shujiao as the defender of Jinzhou, and the Ming army around Ningyuan was commanded by He Kegang.

Ningyuan City was guarded by Yuan Chonghuan and the eunuch Liu Yingkun, and the front guard was guarded by the chief soldier Man Gui.

The walls are all strong and clear, and they do not give the Houjin army the slightest opportunity.

"Hey, by the way, I read that the intelligence says that the eunuchs in the city are disciplined."

Huang Taiji had an idea and had an idea: "How about we send someone into the city and persuade him to surrender?" ”

"This Zhao Shujiao, who is guarding the city, his uncle is Zhao Menglin who died in Salhu, and it is not easy to persuade him to surrender."

Liu Xingzhi said: "Discipline is different. He used to be Yang Chengying's eunuch in the army, and he suffered a lot from Yang Chengying. finally endured hardship, returned to the Ming court, and was sent down again.

Therefore, he did evil in Jinzhou City, and everyone hated him so much. ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji changed his mind: "Okay, let's send people into the city to persuade them to surrender." Even if it is unsuccessful, it can imitate Cao Cao and wipe Han Sui, causing discord between them. ”

Liu Xingzhi nodded, thinking it was feasible.

Huang Taiji immediately asked Haoge to collect his troops, and by the way, he called those Ming army sentries back.

This group of Ming army sentinels saw that the city gate was not open, and they were worried that the appearance of the Houjin army would cause misunderstanding in the city, so they were killed as traitors, so they ran away with the Houjin army.

Zhao Shujiao, who was on the tower of the city, did not embarrass this group of Ming troops for their sake.

The Ming army was recaptured back to the camp and soon escorted to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji smiled: "Your Ming Dynasty is really ruthless, and it doesn't give you a way to live." ”

The Ming army shrugged their heads and said in their hearts, you are ambushing the soldiers behind, what kind of calculation you are making, we can know clearly.

But under the eaves of the house, people have to bow their heads and have to listen.

I only heard Huang Taiji continue: "Ben Khan still doesn't embarrass you, and only asks you to bring two letters into the city, which are sent to the guard general Zhao Shujiao and the town guard eunuch Ji for use. ”

With that, he asked Kur to wrap up the written credit clay and hand it to them.

But no one dared to take it.

Liu Xingzhi sank his face: "If you don't take it, I will kill you." ”

The Ming army put away the letter tremblingly, but did not know what to do next.

Huang Taiji asked Liu Xingzhi to take them outside the camp and let them go, and made it clear that they didn't need to follow.

Liu Xingzhi clasped his fists and saluted, and then asked his men to drive the Ming army away from the Houjin army camp.

Looking at the distant backs of these people, Huang Taiji had some expectations in his heart, hoping that this trick would be useful.
