In fact, between Guangning City and Shanhaiguan was a strategic vacuum between the Ming and Jin countries, and the original people either fled into Shanhaiguan with Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen after the Battle of Guangning, or were captured by the Jurchens and taken to the territory of Houjin. Therefore, there are no people here, let alone bandits and bandits, just imagine, even if you can't see people, who will the bandits rob? How can they live?

Gao Jie: The gang of bandits they encountered was actually a copycat, and Huang Debiao was originally a subordinate of Li Yongfang, a guerrilla attack by the Fushun Thousand Households of the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of Li Yongfang, that's a celebrity!

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi became stronger and stronger, and the Ming Dynasty had to strengthen its defense, and Li Yongfang, a native of Liaodong, then in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, "the official guerrilla, guarding the Fushun office", "transferred 600 subordinate Fushun in Kuandian, and changed the reserve to the guerrilla, that is, Li Yongfang took charge of his affairs", and became the highest military governor in the Fushun area. Fushun and Nurhachi's old nest Hetuhara are close at hand, and they are the first front line to defend Houjin, so Li Yongfang shoulders a very difficult task. Nurhachi had close contacts with officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty before he turned his face with the Ming Dynasty, and he was also familiar with Li Yongfang. In the forty-first year of Wanli (1613), Nurhachi's army attacked the Jurchen Yehebu, which aroused the vigilance of the Ming Dynasty. Nurhachi then went to Fushun to meet Li Yongfang in person, and stated in writing that he had no intention of attacking the Ming Dynasty. Li Yongfang also went out of the city for three miles, brought Nurhachi into the teaching ground, talked with him, and accepted the letter. In April of the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618), Nurhachi raised an army to attack Ming with the "Seven Great Hatreds", and his subordinates first came to Fushun Pass, asking to enter the market for trade, and after making money to open and close the door, they surrounded Fushun City. At that time, Nurhachi sent Li Yongfang a letter of persuasion to surrender, on the one hand, he persuaded him to marry, promote his officials, and protect the people in the city, and on the other hand, he threatened to slaughter the city. Faced with the dilemma of soldiers approaching the city, Li Yongfang verbally promised to surrender, but still arranged his subordinates to prepare to defend the city. The Houjin army attacked the city with a ladder, and soon ascended to the city and killed the garrison king's seal. Li Yongfang then went out of the city and surrendered, and prostrated on the ground to meet Nurhachi. Nurhachi replied on his horse, and ordered his men not to kill the people of the city. The next day, Nurha burned the city of Fushun with red fire, organized the people in the city into thousands of households, moved to Hetuala, and set up large and small officials according to the official system of the Ming Dynasty. Li Yongfang was appointed lieutenant general of the third rank and married the daughter of Bel Abatai. Fushun was the first border city of the Ming Dynasty under Nurhachi, and Li Yongfang was the first border general of the Ming Dynasty to surrender.

Huang Debiao was also the first batch of Ming generals in Houjin after the Battle of Fushun surrendered with Li Yongfang. After the battle of Yongning, Wang Huazhen's cronies and generals who contributed to the city, and Sun Degong, who was a general of the western Liaoning border army, was awarded the guerrilla general, subordinated to the white flag, governed the people, and moved to Yizhou, while Guangning City, as the front line of confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, was garrisoned by the Belles of Nurhachi in turn, and paid special attention to it. In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from sending fine work to the rear of the Jin Kingdom, Huang Debiao's subordinates were transferred from Fushun to the Guangning front, disguised as bandits in this vacuum area, and pretended to rob while patrolling the outpost, and probing the true identity of the Ming caravan that ventured to trade with the Houjin.

Fortunately, Gao Jie and the others were suspicious of these so-called bandits from the beginning, and they did not expose their hidden strength, and they also happened to meet Wang Chengming's caravan, so Pang Ji was able to correct his name in Huang Debiao.

Nurhachi is a generation of male lords, knowing that the Dajin country is poor in resources, lack of food and clothing, after the son and the Ming Dynasty turned their faces, the Ming Dynasty forbade trade with the Houjin, if there is no Jin merchants, Hui merchants and other Ming merchants secretly transported food, salt, daily necessities and gold and silver, the Jurchens do not say vain to try to chase the Central Plains, even or not to survive is difficult to guarantee, so the Ming merchants who venture to do business attach great importance to it, strictly order all Jurchen troops not to attack, after seeing must be treated with courtesy. Because of this, Luo Sigong will use the banner of Gaojie Pang Ji firm this time to mix in Houjin.

Huang Debiao was originally a Ming officer, and some bad habits became natural, and after confirming that Gao Jie and the others were indeed Jin merchant caravans, they still dared to secretly accept the silver ticket bribed by Gao Jie and replaced it with a disciplined Jurchen general, which would never be accepted.

As the saying goes, eating people with short mouths and soft hands, after Huang Debiao accepted Gao Jie's silver ticket, he was not only full of smiles, but also had an intimate attitude, and took the initiative to inform Gao Jie that Guangning City would implement a curfew at night in order to prevent the Ming army from sneaking attack, and it was no longer feasible to enter the city at this moment.

Gao Jie thought about it, this Huang Debiao was not a big threat to them, and it was not a big problem to borrow a night in their barracks, so he agreed repeatedly.

So, Gao Jie's Pang Ji caravan and Wang Chengming's Wang Ji caravan, followed behind a group of "mountain bandits" wrapped in white turbans, and drove forward in a mighty way.

Not to mention, this Huang Debiao is a person who knows how to enjoy, and he not only has grain and poultry meat in the garrison Zhenwu Fort, but also has a special cook. So, Gao Jie and his entourage finally ate the first hot meal of the day, and the dishes were quite rich.

Huang Debiao is also a good person, and he knows the importance of these Jin merchants in the heart of the Great Khan Nurhachi, not to mention the benefits, and at the moment he is entertained with good wine and food, and he works hard to make friends, intending to make a good fate. Luo Sigong and the others are now as tents, men and caravan guards, naturally they can't eat at the same table with Huang Debiao, Gao Jie, and Wang Chengming, and they are arranged to eat on the side, and the food is of course a lot worse, Ji Longfeng, a foodie, is eating the food on his own table, and from time to time he glances at Gao Jie and the other table of wine and food, and his heart is quite unbalanced, Luo Sigong and the others all look at each other when they see this.

While eating and drinking, Gao Jie found out from Wang Chengming's mouth that it was Wang Ji's caravan that passed through the stone cave of Changshou Mountain before them. Among the guards of their Wang family, there was a young man's father, who was the personal guard of the original Tulun city lord, that is, one of the guards who once escorted Wang Rui through the stone cave, so this secret passage became a passage between Wang Chengming and Houjin after the Battle of Guangning. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, some Jin merchants and Hui merchants in order to make heavy profits, regardless of the ban of the Ming Dynasty, took the risk of privately trading with Houjin, generally by way of Mongolia, and then detoured to the territory of Houjin, not only the road is far away, but also a lot of bandits along the way, the risk of taking risks, spending manpower and material resources are very large, and with the secret road of the stone cave of Changshou Mountain, they can save a lot of time and manpower and material resources, and the secrecy is stronger, and the security is higher, so Wang Chengming regardless of the age of nearly sixty, this is the second time he has crossed the Changshou Mountain this month. After learning that Gao Jie and others also came through the mountains, Wang Chengming admired his vast magical powers, and also agreed with Gao Jie that he would never share this secret road with other businesses, and it was much better for two people to share this big cake than to share it with a group of people. After having the covenant, Wang Chengming became closer and closer to Gao Jie.

And from Huang Debiao's mouth, Gao Jie also got a lot of information, except for Guangning City, which is at the forefront, the other cities of Dajin Kingdom are not so heavily guarded, that is to say, after Guangning City, it will be much more convenient to go to Shenyang, Liaoyang, including Hetuala, the base camp of the Jurchens. The only thing to pay attention to is that Guangning City, Juehua Island, and the garrison of Daming are east of Shanhaiguan, so let Gao Jie and others go to the northeast and go directly to Guangning, don't turn to the southeast and strayed into the Daming defense area of Ningyuan.

"I heard that Ning Yuan's guard is Yuan Chonghuan, right?!" Gao Jie asked.

"En!" Huang Debiao nodded and said: "This person is scheming, very good at strategy, although he is a literati, he has the courage that is difficult to compare with martial artists, not to be underestimated!"

For this famous Yuan Chonghuan, Gao Jie really wanted to meet him, but this time the timing was not right, and he should still have a chance to get acquainted with him in the future.

After eating and drinking, Gao Jie waited for Wang to become famous, and settled down in several good houses arranged by Huang Debiao.

At this time, it was already the second watch, Gao Jie, Luo Sigong, Venerable Zong Qing and Wang Rui were discussing tomorrow's itinerary in the room, but suddenly heard a chaotic commotion outside, Gao Jie listened to it, and said in a low voice: "It seems that someone has attacked and been discovered!"

Venerable Zongqing asked in surprise, "How are you sure?"

Luo Sigong knew Gao Jie's perverted hearing, smiled slightly, and did not say anything. Gao Jie didn't notice Zong Qing's surprise, he still listened intently, and said in a low voice: "It seems that there are only about a dozen people in this group, it seems that this is not the first time they have come to sneak attack, Huang Debiao is leading people to encircle and suppress!"

Venerable Zong Qing and Wang Rui glanced at each other, not knowing whether to believe Gao Jie's words or not. Venerable Zongqing is not weaker than Luo Sigong's skills, and he can't understand what is going on in this chaotic Zhenwu Castle, Gao Jie, a teenage kid, actually heard it clearly and figured it out, isn't that?!

It's just that they saw that Luo Sigong seemed to be accustomed to it, and asked in a low voice without doubt, "How is the battle?"

Gao Jie frowned and said in a deep voice: "The sneak attackers have been killed and injured, Huang Debiao's men and horses reacted really quickly, it seems that they have been prepared, it is estimated that they have been surrounded, Huang Debiao shouted to persuade them to surrender!"

Luo Sigong pondered for a moment and said: "Don't act rashly for the time being, who knows if it's true or not, be careful of deception!"

Venerable Zong Qing and Wang Rui didn't ask questions at this time, so they had to look at the old man and the young man on the side, with mixed feelings.

After another moment, Gao Jie suddenly asked, "Who is Luo Yi?"

Without waiting for Luo Sigong to answer, Wang Rui preemptively said: "Before the Battle of Guangning, he had always been the deputy chief officer under Lord Xiong, and he commanded 3,000 people to guard Xiping Fort. In the Battle of Quang Ninh, Xiping Fort was besieged, and Lord Luo committed suicide!"

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: Luo has always been a Weiren in Ganzhou. To guard the Xiping Fort with the staff. Liaoyang falls, the west flat is the most rushing, and it has always been defended with all its might. Governor Wang Huazhen said to the court, plus the deputy commander-in-chief. Shi Huazhen was stationed in Guangning, Xiong Tingbi was stationed in Youtun, the general soldier Liu Qu guarded the town with 20,000 people, Qi Bingzhong guarded Luyang with 10,000 people, and always had 3,000 people to guard Xiping. It has been decided that each will build a strong base, and if it is urgent, it will help each other, and those who violate it will be punished. In the first month of next year, the Qing soldiers crossed the river to the west, and they should not fight lightly. The soldiers approached, and the general Black Cloud Crane attacked. Consistently stop, do not follow. Tomorrow, Yunhe will be defeated, run back to the city, and pursue the troops to annihilate. It has always relied on the city's stubborn refusal, and the wounded with artillery are not counted. The Great Qing Shuqi surrendered, and sent an envoy to say, but he always refused. Tomorrow, ride to benefit the people, and attack the city. Always be in the eye, can't fight. The gunpowder was exhausted, and he bowed to the north again, saying: "The ministers are exhausted." So he killed himself. It can be seen that Luo has always been a loyal and brave general.

After listening to Wang Rui's explanation, Gao Jie turned his gaze to Luo Sigong and said: "The person who came said that it was Luo Junjie's son, named Luo Junjie, and there was another one who claimed to be Heiyunhe!
