After Huang Taiji defeated the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, he immediately pursued the Ming army non-stop.

Due to Cha Huizu's obstruction and the heavy snow blocking the mountain, it still greatly affected their marching speed, and finally arrived outside Shenyang at dusk.

However, due to the heavy snowfall for several days before, and the news of the defeat of the Ming army in Salhu a few days ago, the people nearby were panicked, and many people hid in the city in advance.

A few hours ago, Zhou Yongchun, the governor of Liaodong, sent people to evacuate the people urgently, so they did not have much success around Shenyang.

When he saw the heavily guarded Ming army in Shenyang City, Huang Taiji knew that he was still a step late, and the Ming army in Shenyang had already taken precautions.

The Houjin army was sleepy and lacking horses on continuous marches, so it was naturally unable to attack the city, and Huang Taiji could only camp ten miles south of Shenyang; While waiting for Nurhachi's main force, he expanded the scope of the search and plundered the villages around Shenyang first.

Although the Southern Route Army entered the city during the day, and the display of many Tartar heads was greatly inspiring.

However, the appearance of the Tartar cavalry at night, as well as the influx of a large number of surrounding people into Shenyang, once again caused unrest in the city.

After receiving the task of screening the Houjin spies, Chen Yuting, the patrolman, immediately came to a military camp in the city.

Shenyang guerrilla Lu Shan said: "A total of 821 generals, soldiers, and men of the former West Route Army who have returned to Shenyang from the Salhu battlefield in the past few days are all here. ”

After all, Yang Hao has been in the military for a long time, although the level of military command is indeed limited, but the basic military literacy is still there.

He knew that there must be a Tartar spy who would enter Shenyang in this group, so he ordered that all these people be imprisoned in the camp at the beginning.

Chen Yuting was not ambiguous, and immediately arranged for his scribes to take the roster and check the identities of these people one by one. In order to prevent others from impersonating and let them confirm each other's identities, those who do not have others to confirm their identities are screened separately.

thought that in this way, I would be able to find out some spies. Unexpectedly, they were busy for a long time, but they didn't even catch a single spy.

All the information is matched, and someone else confirms the identity.

If it were someone else, it would be like this, but who is Chen Yuting? What they are best at is picking out the bones from the bone eggs, and then picking the thorns from the bones.

If you find out three or five spies, maybe this one will be over.

But now there is not a single spies, which is very problematic.

Although Jun Song is the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, he is a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, and many henchmen under his command followed him from Shaanxi. So he pointed to the name of a native of Yulin and said, "Go and bring this Lu Dayou to me." ”

I saw a man about thirty years old with a sloppy beard being brought up.

Chen Yuting said: "You are Du Zongbing's fellow countryman? ”

The man said in a little panic: "The villain Lu Dayou, a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, is indeed a fellow villager of the general army of Juniper. ”

Chen Yuting suddenly scolded loudly: "Then where are you from Yulin, why don't you speak with a Shaanxi accent?" ”

Seeing that the man was hesitant, he said again: "What is Yulin's specialty, and what month does the Yellow River freeze every year?" ”

Soon Chen Yuting found out a spy, and then he said to his subordinates: "You guys just went to check for me, and who confirmed his identity just now?" That person also has a problem, and he must dig out the spies for this patrol case one by one! ”

I don't know if I don't dig this, but I actually dug up 218 spies.

Some of these people followed Li Yongfang to join the enemy, and more of them were captured by the former Ming people over the years, and now these people are all acting as spies and endangering the Ming Dynasty.

More than 200 spies were dug up at once, which frightened Yang Hao.

He immediately ordered Shenyang to impose a curfew, and strictly forbade anyone to go out on the streets at night.

But before his curfew could be issued, the camp in the north of the city for displaced people began to catch fire.

He had to have people put out the fire first, and sent troops to block the streets to prevent the displaced people from taking advantage of the opportunity to run around.

Just when there was chaos in the north of the city, I saw one or two carriages with straw galloping from east to west near the south gate, and the coachman shouted in panic: "The horses are frightened, everyone hurry to avoid." ”

At this time, the Ming army guarding the south gate was also attracted by this scene, and the Ming army under the city was avoiding the galloping carriage, and the Ming army who came to the city was also watching the excitement.

Just as everyone was paying attention to the carriage, suddenly two knives slashed at the rope from which the two heads were hung.

The two men secretly removed the wooden cage containing the head and threw it into the galloping carriage.

Just when the two thought that the gods didn't know and the ghosts didn't know.

Suddenly, a large number of Ming troops holding torches appeared directly behind him, and Li Huaizhong said: "The big marshal guessed right, there are also Houjin's spies on the city gate, and I will escort these two people down." ”

Then a spear flew down from the city, and I saw that the spear was like a sharp sword, and it was inserted directly from the horse's neck, and the blood splattered directly; With a terrible neigh, the horse fell to the ground, and the coachman was thrown out.

The two boxes containing the heads also tumbled to the ground with the overturned carriage, and suddenly seven or eight masked men with weapons in their hands rushed out of the vicinity to snatch the heads.

They were agile and ran to the edge of the first level in a few steps.

When one person just picked up the head, he heard a "bang, bang, bang......" sound.

Soon the masked men were struck by the firecrackers of the city, and they fell unwillingly with a burst of blood mist.

But the gang didn't seem to be reconciled, and soon a few more rushed out.

At this time, I saw the sound of horses' hooves vibrating nearby, and a large number of Ming cavalry came out from the surroundings and directly killed these people mercilessly.

The riot was quickly quelled.

Soon after, Li Huaizhong said: "Qiyu Dashuai, sure enough, there are a large number of Tartar spies trying to seize the head, and 17 spies were killed in this battle; 3 people were captured alive, including 2 spies who had infiltrated the defenders of the South Gate. ”

Yang Hao said: "General Li has worked hard, and now that the soldiers are in the city, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, and you will continue to enforce the curfew." ”

Wang Keshou, the governor of Jiliao, said: "It is really jaw-dropping that there are so many spies in Shenyang City, and it seems that Juniper's Western Route Army was completely annihilated, which is no accident. ”

"It's still Yang Jingluo's chess master, and he used two fake heads to lure out the spies hiding in the city."

Yang Hao said with a smile: "Governor Wang has praised falsely, this time thanks to your old wisdom and discernment, you arranged for Chen Xun to screen the spies in time, otherwise the spies in this city will definitely cause a big disaster." ”

"There must be more spies in the city, but now that there is a curfew, they can't afford to make any waves."

After the two praised each other, Wang Keshou also went back to rest.

At this time, Yang Hao decided to inspect the gates in person, originally he thought that Shenyang City was as solid as a rock, and the Houjin army was not afraid at all.

If Li Xianzhong hadn't reminded himself to strictly investigate the spies and came up with this method of using a fake head to lure the snake out of the hole, I'm afraid the consequences would have been really unimaginable. The spy can cut the rope with the head hanging today, and tomorrow he may be able to lower the drawbridge and cooperate with the capture of the city.

It's just that this strategy of clearing the wilderness, although it can thwart Houjin's attack, but if it drags on for too long, he will inevitably be punished by the imperial court.

At that time, those imperial historians in the court will probably impeach themselves for entering the customs and plundering the population. Even if you kill as many Tartars as you slew, they will attack them in groups.

I was afraid that I didn't die under the sword and gun of Jianyu, but I fell in the battle of the court first.

Now he can only hope that Li Xianzhong can let Nurhachi withdraw as soon as possible.
