East Factory Governor

Chapter 236 Veterans
Zhang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Does the sect leader know Mr. Chen?"

Qin Shuhuai didn't answer, but urged, "Go on."

"That year when Jiannu invaded Shenyang, I led my brothers to respond to Mr. Chen internally and externally. I fought three battles with Jiannu and won three miserably. Originally, it was difficult for Jiannu to conquer Shenyang City. People turned against the water, joined hands with Jiannu, and finally broke the city of Shenyang. Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong strategist in the city, committed suicide and died for his country. Mr. Meng Chen is very kind, and we must live and die together with him. We originally agreed that he would break out from the city, I would meet him outside the city, and we would fight out together. But we didn't want both of us to be ambushed. Mr. Chen died in battle, and his The lower body was seriously injured, and he fell off the horse and passed out. Later, Jiannu sent soldiers to bury the body, and his subordinates woke up. It happened that the soldier responsible for the burial was an old acquaintance of his subordinates, so he tampered with the burial. That's how I crawled out of the dead man's pit after everyone dispersed!"

Having said that, Zhang Xiao's eyes turned red again.

"After my subordinate came out, I originally wanted to go back to Jinzhou to join the Guan Ning army to avenge Mr. Chen and his dead brothers. I didn't want to go back to Jinzhou city and saw the notice saying that Mr. Chen was in communication with foreign enemies, which led to the fall of Shenyang city. The subordinates knew that As Mr. Chen's confidant, if the government finds out, he will definitely be accused of being an accomplice to the party, so he has no choice but to hide his name and steal his life, hoping to save his body and clear his grievances for Mr. Chen one day. But seven or eight years have passed Well, the gang of thieves who framed Mr. Chen continued to get promoted and made a fortune. Over the years, my subordinates have written countless letters of petition to the chiefs of the Ministry of War, exposing the injustices of those years, but they all fell to nothing... The subordinates wanted to go directly to the Ministry of War to make a statement. The injustice case, but I was afraid that not only would I not be able to redress the injustice, but I would also lose my life in vain, so I did not go to it! The subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, I am sorry for Mr. Chen! I am sorry for the brothers who died that day!"

Speaking of this, Chang Da cried out, "Master Qian, we are the ones who are greedy for life and afraid of death! Back then, when the humble officials led reinforcements, we went all the way to the three miles outside Shenyang City. There were Tartars everywhere, thinking that Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen had died in battle, so they made up their own minds and led the brothers to turn around and run away! Later, we turned into refugees fleeing and entered the pass, and we dared not serve as soldiers again. Think about it With nowhere to go left and right, I had no choice but to become a bandit...Master Qian, this subordinate deserves to die! This subordinate deserves death for their sins!"

After Qin Shuhuai heard it, he felt that Chen Lue was really wronged.Uncle's Wang Huazhen and Wang Baochang, if I don't kill you, you won't be surnamed Qin!
Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Xiao, "Master Zhang Xiang, do you know where the descendants of Mr. Chen are now?"

The Chen family had never revealed their true identity to outsiders, so Zhang Xiao naturally didn't know.

"The subordinates don't know, but the leader... Could it be that the leader knows?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "The Chen Jing family is the descendants of Mr. Chen!"

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Chen Jing... I didn't expect Master Chen's descendants to be in front of me... Chen Jing is a good man, Master Chen will be pleased if he knows." After a pause, he smiled bitterly, "So Come on, come down to the Jianghe Gang, it's Master Chen's arrangement in the sky! Excellent, excellent!"

At this time, Chang Da said to Qin Shuhuai again, "Master Qin, everyone in Jianghu knows that the Jianghe gang is fighting the Tartars and protecting the country. I have a total of more than 300 brothers in Weifengling, all of whom are veterans who have been withdrawn from Shenyang! Please take them in, sir!" Let us, let us go to the battlefield again, to avenge Master Chen, and to avenge the brothers who died!"

Qin Shuhuai thought to himself, many veterans have been lost in this Hengling battle, it would be great if they could replenish some.For an army, the importance of veterans is self-evident.

But his face was icy cold, and he said lightly, "My Jianghe Gang never accepts deserters."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao immediately stepped forward and said to Qin Shuhuai, "Master, although my brothers are not as good as the Jianghe gang, they are definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death. They knew that Shenyang City was in danger, but they still killed Rescuing subordinates is an example. It’s just that they can’t see their subordinates, and the subordinates have already died in battle, so they withdrew. The leader, the subordinates are so greedy for life and fear of death, and the leader even took in the subordinates, so the subordinates dared to beg the leader Take them in. They are just as miserable as your subordinates!"

At this time, Chang Da suddenly took out a dagger, and inserted it into his thigh with a "poof".

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Master Qin, this is San Gouzi's apology for you. You have offended me a lot just now. Please forgive me, Master Qin."

Qin Shuhuai glanced at him lightly, unmoved.

Seeing this, Chang Da pulled out the dagger suddenly, and the blood on his leg gushed out immediately.

His face was pale, but with a flick of his wrist and a swipe of the dagger, he cut off his little finger again.

He said, "This is San Gou Zina's certificate of honor. Do you think it's okay, Chief Qin?"

Qin Shuhuai's face looked better, but he still remained silent.

Chang Da smiled miserably, and said, "Master Qin, San Gouzi understands!" After finishing speaking, the blade turned and stabbed directly at his chest!

"Big Brother!" Niu Hu and Wang Zaiyu exclaimed at the same time!
"Oh!"

With a flick of his arm, Qin Shuhuai knocked Chang Da's dagger into the air, and then said coldly, "You have already died once just now. From today onwards, your life is mine. If I don't let you die, you will die." Can't die, remember?"

Chang Da was taken aback for a moment, then was overwhelmed with surprise, knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, and said loudly, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Not long after, more than a thousand people all entered Chang Da's stockade.Chang Da immediately ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and invited Jiang He to help them with a banquet.

At this time, Hengling was covered with heavy snow, and Qin Shuhuai finally found a place for the troops to hide from the snow. In the warm cave, more than 1000 people finally avoided the possibility of being frozen to death.There are a lot of gold sore medicines stored in the cottage, and many wounded have also received timely treatment.In addition, Qin Shuhuai also recruited [-] veterans, which greatly supplemented the vitality.

On his side, everything looks fine.

But Yuan Chonghuan's side is extremely bad.

After Meng Wei found Yuan Chonghuan with Qin Shuhuai's secret decree, he told him that the slave-building army had appeared in Hengling.Yuan Chonghuan was both surprised and delighted. The surprise was that Qin Shuhuai's prophecy had come true, and the joy was that as a general who had commanded the army for many years, he knew that this was a good opportunity to complete his achievements in one battle and completely defeat Jiannu!
As the governor of Ji Liao, it is hard to escape the blame for the slaves who overcame the wall and entered him this time.But if he could completely wipe out Jian Nu in Hengling, not only would he be able to pay off his merits, it would even be no exaggeration to say that he would have made another miraculous achievement that did not belong to Ning Jin's Great Victory!At the same time, the establishment of slaves and entry into the customs can be said to be the best of the generals. If they can inflict heavy losses, the five-year Ping Liao may really become a reality.

It is impossible for Yuan Chonghuan to let go of such a good opportunity.

So he immediately sent He Kegang to lead four thousand Guanning iron cavalry to Yutian.At the same time, he personally led an army of [-] troops, and rushed to help Hengling immediately.

The original 6000 defenders in Jizhou City, plus the [-] troops brought by He Kegang, made a total of [-] troops, and he dispatched [-] at once.However, compared to the expected benefits, this kind of aggressiveness can be interpreted as courage, a kind of courage that a general must have!
It should be said that Yuan Chonghuan's choice was correct.This is the only chance for the Ming army to fight Hou Jin in the field, and it is also the only chance to completely block them, or even encircle them!

Any insightful general would choose to fight Houjin at this moment.The original intention of Qin Shuhuai to ask Meng Wei to find Yuan Chonghuan is also to hope that Yuan Chonghuan can have a decisive battle with Hou Jin in Hengling!
