? Xiong Wei left Guangning and went to Shanhaiguan, thinking about what it would be like to see Xiong Tingbi this time while hurrying. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy].] （ . . He was so anxious that his heart was like fifteen buckets of water fetching water, did Xiong Tingbi know the battle situation on the front line? Does Xiong Tingbi know the mood of the soldiers? The key is whether he can persuade Xiong Tingbi to send troops?

It is not easy to walk all the way from Guangning to Shanhaiguan, Xiong Wei in order to get to Shanhaiguan early, take the small road for a while, take the mountain road for a while, and take the avenue for a while, which road is close to which one.

Xiong Wei climbed over a mountain, and seeing that he was about to reach the Shanhai Pass, Xiong Wei went up the avenue from the mountain road again.

"Drive!" Xiong Wei saw Shanhaiguan City, and couldn't help but whip his horse quickly.

Shanhaiguan is one of the northeast passes of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, known as "the first pass in the world", echoing with Jiayuguan thousands of miles away, famous all over the world.

Shanhaiguan City is a small city, the whole city is connected to the Great Wall, with the city as the pass. The tall walls can be seen in the distance.

Ascending the Shanhaiguan, you can see the majestic posture of the Great Wall of Jiaoshan in the north, and the sea in the south is also hazy. On the city wall of Shanhaiguan, a mighty female general Qin Liangyu stood on the city tower, looking down on the four fields, looking down on the whole city of Shanhaiguan and the wilderness outside the pass.

The plane of Shanhaiguan City is square, the circumference is eight miles, one hundred and thirty-seven steps and four feet, the width is five zhang, and the moat of two zhang and five feet deep surrounds it.

The exterior of the city wall is covered with blue bricks, and the inside is filled with rammed earth.

There are four city gates in Shanhaiguan City, which are called "Town East Gate" in the east, "Ying'en Gate" in the west, "Wangyang Gate" in the south, and "Weiyuan Gate" in the north.

The east gate is "the first pass in the world", there is the first pass of the city tower in the world on the door platform, the building is divided into two layers, the single eaves of the covered gray tile rest on the top of the mountain, the upper and lower two floors, the north, the east and the south three sides open the arrow window sixty-eight, usually close, open when used. In the middle of the west eaves hangs a huge plaque with black characters and a white background, with five big characters on the book "The First Pass in the World", and the handwriting is vigorous and vigorous.

At this time, Xiong Wei had already come to the city gate, and Qin Liangyu had already come down from the city tower and was walking towards the city gate.

There are many ordinary people who come in and out of Shanhaiguan, and they all fled from Liaodong to Guannei. These men did not stop at the city gates, but hurried into the gates.

Xiong Wei did not enter the customs, walked to the city gate, and stood at the city gate to watch.

Qin Liangyu saw Xiong Wei and walked over, looking up and down. He stopped Xiong Wei's way and asked, "Who is coming?"

Xiong Wei fixed his eyes and saw that this was a female general. With a spear in hand, he is heroic.

"May I ask my lord, Lord Xiong, is General Xiong Tingbi in Shanhaiguan?" Xiong Wei saw that although she was a female general, she could stand at the gate of the city and guard the first pass in the world, which was not ordinary.

"Ah!" Qin Liangyu looked at Xiong Wei as if he was an ordinary person who had fled into the pass, and he was about to find Xiong Tingbi when he opened his mouth, it seemed that he did have some origins, "But there is a text"

Xiong Wei thought about it, but he still took out Yang Lian's letter from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "I have a letter from Lord Yang of the imperial court to General Xiong. ”

Qin Liangyu took the letter and asked a soldier to send it away first—and asked, "Have you ever been to Shanhaiguan City?"

"I've been here a few times, but I've been in a hurry and haven't made it into town. Xiong Wei didn't know what was wrong, and when he saw Qin Liangyu, he had an indescribable feeling that he was a relative or a relative.

In appearance, Qin Liangyu is younger than Xiong Wei's mother, but he is much more majestic than Xiong Wei's mother.

"You're from Liaodong, what's the situation over there?" Qin Liangyu inquired about the battle ahead.

Xiong Wei hurriedly said, "That's what I'm here for. ”

Qin Liangyu looked at Xiong Wei again, and when he heard that he was coming for the war, he was also a little anxious. I couldn't help but say to Xiong Wei: "Come with me, nAd2("

Xiong Wei obediently followed Qin Liangyu to a courtyard in Shanhaiguan City, and Xiong Wei saw Xiong Tingbi in the front room at a glance, reading the letter.

Xiong Wei followed Qin Liangyu into the courtyard, Xiong Tingbi looked up, Xiong Wei he recognized. Xiong Wei walked in and saluted, saying, "Lord Xiong, Xiong Wei greets." ”

Xiong Tingbi pointed to the chair next to him, looked Xiong Wei up and down, and saw Xiong Wei panic in his heart.

Qin Liangyu looked at Xiong Tingbi's eyes, and then looked at Xiong Tingbi's embarrassed appearance, the spear was horizontal in front of Xiong Tingbi, and he looked at Xiong Tingbi and asked, "Lord Xiong, is this a spy?"

"Ah!" Xiong Wei was originally standing, although Xiong Tingbi asked him to sit, he hadn't sat yet, and his heart was impatient. Hearing Qin Liangyu's words, Xiong Wei sat down.

"Lord Yang, this letter has been written for two or three months, Xiong Wei, you won't tell me that you have been on the road for such a long time, will you?" Xiong Tingbi did not stop Qin Liangyu's movements, and his face was even more majestic than Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu saw that Xiong Tingbi knew Xiong Wei, and he was even more strange, and the gun in his hand was directly aimed at Xiong Wei. Xiong Wei looked at that and said: Tell me honestly!

Xiong Wei gasped in his heart, why did this Xiong Tingbi look at me more and more unpleasantly. Xiong Wei looked at the spear in Qin Liangyu's hand and laughed in his heart, it seemed that he had to find an opportunity to learn the martial arts of this female general.

Xiong Tingbi saw that Xiong Wei didn't reply, and his face was even more uneasy. Xiong Wei sat up straighter, ignored the spear in Qin Liangyu's hand and pointed it at his chest, and said, "Lord Xiong, I'm from Liaodong." ”

Xiong Wei looked at Xiong Tingbi and looked forward to what he said, so he expressed his opinion on the war in Liaodong. Xiong Wei finally said: "Lord Xiong, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." I, Xiong Wei, am willing to be the vanguard and go to the front line to fight. ”

"Stupid!" Xiong Tingbi opened his mouth and gave Xiong Wei two words.

"Ahh

Ouyang Ying said that I am a big stupid bear, am I also a big stupid bear in Xiong Tingbi's eyes?

Xiong Tingbi didn't care what the expression on Xiong Wei's face was, he didn't look at him, and continued: "Wang Huazhen is greedy for merit, and he only sees Liaoyang and Shenyang in Hedong, ignoring the entire Liaodong war situation. Quang Ninh is the top priority, and the soldiers guarding Quang Ninh can be easily dispatched. Once Quang Ninh's troops were empty and unable to resist Nurhachi's attack, Guangning fell, just like Zhuge Liang lost his street pavilion. ”

Xiong Wei didn't want to just be scolded, thinking to himself, I came down from the front line, is it you Xiong Tingbi who understands the situation or I understand the situation.

Xiong Wei retorted loudly: "Not long after Nurhachi captured Liaoyang and Shenyang, although he moved the capital to Liaoyang, he only set up another Tokyo City in the east of Liaoyang City, which shows that his roots have not been firmly rooted. Lord Wang held Guangning, and now that Zhenjiang has won a great victory, he is pursuing Nurhachi in one go and driving Nurhachi back to Jianzhou, so there is still the worry of losing the street pavilion. ”

Xiong Tingbi is short-tempered, upright, and likes to scold, Xiong Wei is really a teacher now. Xiong Tingbi looked at Xiong Wei and continued to speak with some hatred.

"In the forty-seventh year of Wanli (1619 AD), the battle of Sarhu, the 120,000 army commanded by Yang Hao was defeated, the strength of the Ming Dynasty declined, and our army lost its advantage in Liaodong and had to turn from offensive to defensive. ”

"I have worked hard to this day, building chariots, buying firearms, digging warwalls, building city walls, and preparing to defend the city against the enemy. Now there is a situation in which the garrison is greatly entrenched. ”

Xiong Tingbi said hatefully: "Wang Huazhen's layout along the river? This is the merit of greed for heaven for himself. After the Salhu War, Lao Tzu had already gathered an army of 180,000 people and distributed them in strategic places such as Yunyang, Qinghe, Fushun, Chaihe, Sanchaer, and Zhenjiang. In small battles, each resists the enemy's defense, and when the big enemy comes, they respond to each other and provide assistance. He also selected elite soldiers to organize guerrillas, took the opportunity to attack, attacked Nurhachi's scattered soldiers and horses, disrupted their cultivation and grazing, and attacked in turns, so that Nurhachi was tired of running for his life, and saw the opportunity to enter the army to destroy the enemy. ”

"As far as he Wang Huazhen can fight, Lao Tzu won't joke. Lao Tzu entered Fushun City by playing drums and music under Nurhachi's eyelids, does he dare to turn into a king?"

Although Xiong Wei was not convinced, he had to admire it in his heart.

After the disaster of the Saarhu War, there was no one for hundreds of miles. When Xiong Tingbi first arrived in Liaodi, he ordered his servant Han Yuanshan to go to appease Shenyang, but Han Yuanshan was afraid and refused to go. Then he sent Yan Mingtai to go, and Yan Mingtai walked to the Tiger Skin Station and returned crying. Xiong Tingbi then went to inspect in person, arrived in Shenyang from Hupiyi, and went to Fushun at night in the snow.

The chief soldier He Shixian used too close to the enemy to stop him, Xiong Tingbi said: "The ground is full of ice and snow, and the enemy can't imagine that I will come." So he played drums and music and entered Fushun City.

Xiong Tingbi sacrificed those soldiers who died for the state and cried. Then he showed his military might in Fengji, inspected the local geography, and then returned. Everywhere he went, he recruited displaced people, repaired defensive equipment, and assigned troops and horses to station, so the hearts of the local soldiers and civilians were re-stabilized.

Unexpectedly, the court listened to the rumors, causing Xiong Tingbi to leave Liaodong. However, in less than a year in the first year of the Apocalypse (1621 AD), Shenyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong, and Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong, fell one after another.

The ministers in the court remembered Xiong Tingbi again.

In the imperial court in the capital, Guo Gong tried his best to slander Xiong Tingbi, and connected with the cabinet minister Liu Yixie. When Liaoyang was lost, the soldiers and civilians of Hexi all fled, and the radius from Tashan to Luyang was more than 200 miles, deserted, and the capital was greatly shocked. Liu Yixiao said: "If Tingbi was in Liao, I don't think it would be like this." ”

In the imperial history Jiang Bingqian's book, he recounted Xiong Tingbi's previous achievements in defending Liaodi, and said that it was Guo Gong's sin to squeeze out the meritorious ministers. Ming Xizong then punished those who impeached Xiong Tingbi in the past, and issued an edict to use Xiong Tingbi from the family, and promoted Wang Huazhen to be the governor.

Xiong Wei knew these things, Xiong Wei didn't even dare to raise his head, he really had to be scolded.

"Wang Huazhen despises the enemy, is good at talking big, and does not listen to dispatches. He has a heavy army, Guangning has 140,000 troops, but there is not a single soldier on the Shanhai Pass, I just have such a false name. He had no court in his eyes and sent troops privately. Zhenjiang's victory, Wang Huazhen thought that he had made a miraculous feat, but in fact, it affected my entire Liaodong battle plan. Xiong Tingbi saw that Xiong Wei didn't speak, and his temper eased a little, "I'm going to enter Beijing, and you have just come back from Liaoyang, so you can go back with me to meet the emperor." ”

Xiong Wei said with a tense face: "I won't go, since Guangning is important, I will go back to Guangning to defend the city." ”

"Wang Huazhen insists on going his own way, you know very little about the war in Liaodong, but I am afraid that going forward will not only fail to persuade Wang Huazhen, but will have the opposite effect. Shanhaiguan is the last line of defense, and I have no heavy troops on my hands. You might as well stay at Shanhaiguan and guard the customs with General Qin. You can also learn some military knowledge and use it for the country. ”
