Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 265
Following Sun Zhongshou on a fast horse and running for three or four miles, avoiding the sight of most Ningyuan Ming army soldiers, the leader of Shanzong and his party got into a grove covered with snow and ice beside the road, and saw him next to a campfire Huang Taiji and several Jiannu followers.After the meeting, the head of Shanzong forced a smile on his dark and thin face, and asked very kindly: "Sibeile, I heard that you were slightly injured in the battle of Liuzhou River, is it okay? If you need If there is any medicine, just ask, even if there is no medicine in Ningyuan City now, I will definitely find a way to get it for you."

"Thank you Yuan Futai for your concern. I was not injured. I was just spit out a few mouthfuls of blood by that little mad dog Zhang Haogu. It's not a problem." Huang Taiji said politely with a fake smile, and then smiled with the same smile : "I forgot to congratulate Yuan Futai. The grand master of Ming Dynasty Xiong Tingbi married his granddaughter to Futai son. Yuan Futai not only became in-laws with Liaodong Governor Xiong, but also became relatives with Xuanda Zhang Xiantai! From then on, The Xiong, Zhang, and Yuan clans all prospered and all lost, and it would be difficult for Yuan Futai to get promoted and make a fortune."

"Sibeile made fun of me." The head of Shanzong was embarrassed, knowing that he must have Huang Taiji's eyeliner in his confidant, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only forcefully laugh: "Actually, I don't need Sibeile to remind me. That little mad dog has no good intentions. The so-called marriage between his son and daughter is just a sinister trick for him to lure the officials into the trap—the officials are out of the city this time, but they are just pretending to be tricky and have an explanation to the barbarian court. When the army passed under the Ningyuan city, the officials immediately withdrew their troops and returned to the city, absolutely not harming any of the Dajin soldiers."

"Come on, my Yuan Futai!" Huang Taiji coldly interrupted the shameless bragging of the head of the Shanzong, and said unceremoniously: "I don't know who you are? Brave and foolish, narrow-minded and jealous, short-sighted and ungrateful for profit-to put it bluntly, he is as stupid as a pig! After being fed a few bowls of enchanting soup by Zhang Haogu's little mad dog, I am afraid that even his ancestor's last name Forgot everything? If I hadn’t reminded you of Xu Jie’s killing of Yan Song in time, I’m afraid you would not only be sold by Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, but also count the money for him, and finally cry and beg Did he sell you again?"

Huang Taiji's words didn't save the head of the Shanzong any face, almost every time he said a word, the face of the head of the Shanzong turned ashen and black, and finally waited until Huang Taiji finished scolding, the head of the Shanzong's thin face, which was already dark, simply turned black. It has turned into the color of coal, and Sun Zhongshou, the absolute confidant of the leader of the Shanzong, couldn't help but interjected with a livid face: "Sibeile, although you are a distinguished guest of our Shanzong, please be polite when you speak. Some! Don’t forget, Xiong Laohutu and Zhang Haogu’s little mad dog are still beating your buttocks, which really annoyed us..., huh!"

"Isn't what I said the truth?" Huang Taiji's tone became more bitter and mean, and he said with a sneer: "Besides, I really annoyed you, so what does it matter? You are so great that you sent troops to stop us Dajin The army, it doesn't matter, anyway, Zhang Haogu's little mad dog dreamed of killing all of you, but because of the lack of evidence in his hands--just in time, I can just help Zhang Haogu's little mad dog!"

"That's enough, Sibeile, you don't need to be sarcastic and intimidating anymore." The head of the Shanzong couldn't bear it anymore, and coldly interrupted Huang Taiji: "I admit, I almost fell for the evil of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog, But don't worry, I can assure you that when your army arrives in Ningyuan, as soon as the Dajin army charges, I will give way and let your army break through! But you want me to stop Xiong Lao's confused army for you , that is absolutely impossible, my family is still in Guangdong, and my army also needs to continue cheating food and military pay from the imperial court, I don't think you want to cut off Ningyuan, an important food and grass supply place, do you?"

"Very good, this sentence is quite sincere." Huang Taiji nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a sneer: "But this time it is no longer enough for you to stand by and remain neutral. The soldiers and horses are very tired, and the food and supplies have been destroyed by Zhang Haogu's little mad dog who killed thousands of knives. Even if you stand on the sidelines, it will be difficult for us to break out of the encirclement of the barbarian army! So this time, you must act Help our Daikin army, of course, also help yourself! If the main force of our Daikin army is gone, I think you should be very clear about what will happen to you?"

"Do you want me to stop the barbarian army for you?" The leader of Shanzong said in embarrassment: "Let's not say that when I start a war against the barbarian army, some people in my army may not listen to me, even if all [-] troops listen to me Commander, I may not be able to stop Xiong Laohu and Zhang Haogu's chasing troops. Sibeile, you just fought with these two barbarians, don't you know the combat effectiveness of these two barbarian armies?"

"Wrong." Huang Taiji shook his head, and said darkly: "I don't want you to send troops directly to stop the barbarian army, I just want your army to take over their food roads, and you can find any excuses, such as the Qingqi of our Dajin army harassing the barbarians. Liang Dao, and then you send troops to protect Xiong Laomanzi's food and supply team!"

"You want me to cut off the barbarian army's food road in the name of protecting the food road?" The head of the Shanzong understood what Huang Taiji meant.Huang Taiji nodded solemnly, then smiled and said, "That's right, as long as you cut off the supply route of the Manzi army, our Dajin army will be sure to win. By the way, if you can tell me where the Manzi navy is going to stop me, then Maybe something better will happen—Old Barbarian Xiong Tingbi and Little Crazy Dog Zhang Haogu went deep into the army alone, unfortunately the entire army was wiped out and both died in battle, and you can take over Liaodong smoothly."

A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the head of the Shanzong. After bowing his head for a long time, the head of the Shanzong finally said in a low voice: "My eyeliner in the Denglai navy has secretly reported to me that the barbarian's navy is going to set up an ambush on Tashan to stop your northward march." The army, but this year's wind direction is extremely unfavorable to them, and their marching speed cannot be increased—if your army immediately rides lightly to the north, there may be a chance to reach Tashan first, and then set up an ambush to meet them."

"Sure enough, it's Tashan. The little mad dog is really good at making wishful thinking. That location is indeed the first choice for blocking battles." Huang Taiji nodded in satisfaction, stood up and smiled, "Thank you Yuan Futai for your guidance, and Xiao Wang will take his leave first. , if Yuan Futai does as planned, then Xiao Wang will definitely call Yuan Futai Yuan Dudu when we meet next time. At that time, I will ask the governor to help me with food, grass, military supplies and weapons. Of course, we Dajin Kingdom will definitely repay Dudu Yuan well. Haha, hahahahahaha...!"

"Auspicious words from Si Bei Le." The head of Shanzong smiled and said with cupped hands: "If Yuan Mou can really get his wish, then Yuan Mou will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the Great Jin Kingdom, and he will never forget Si Beile Baylor's camaraderie."

........................

The screen changed, almost at the same time, the main force of the Ming army, led by Xiong Tingbi after a night's rest, had already pulled out of the camp and stood up, carefully chasing and killing the remaining main force of Jiannu along the official road, because it was confirmed that the Ningyuan army was already in power outside the city of Ningyuan They lined up and built fortifications to prevent the establishment of slaves, so the Ming army was full of confidence in this battle, and their morale was extremely high. Whether it was Xiong Tingbi, Master Zhang or Yan Mingtai, they all optimistically estimated that this battle would kill at least another [-] soldiers. The above-mentioned main force of building slaves laid the most solid foundation for the complete annihilation of the main force of building slaves in the Battle of Tashan!In order to prevent the main force of Jiannu from bypassing the blocking position of Ningyuan's army, Xiong Tingbi and Young Master Zhang took the risk of dividing up their troops.In the army, there was constant laughter and slogans. Almost every soldier of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have seen the glorious future of the destruction of Jiannu and the restoration of Liaodong, and victory was within reach.

When the soldiers arrived at Caozhuang Bay, new good news came. The main force of slave building who had nowhere to go did not dare to take a detour to delay time, and chose to take the official route and go straight to Ningyuan to block the position!Hearing this news, Young Master Zhang was the first to shout: "Pass the order, the whole army will speed up and hunt down Jiannu! The combat effectiveness of Ningyuan's army is a little weaker. If you arrive at the battlefield earlier, you can share a little more pressure for Ningyuan's army." !"

"Decree!" The soldiers of the Ming army agreed in unison.However, Xiong Tingbi patted Young Master Zhang on the head with a bear paw, and roared: "Bastard bastard, this is not Xuanda, who told you to give the order on behalf of me? Pass on my order, and the whole army will advance at full speed. Within two hours, we must We must rush to the battlefield to attack Jiannu!" Young Master Zhang screamed and Yan Mingtai, Mao Yuanyi, Shi Kefa and others laughed happily, and the soldiers of the Ming army agreed loudly and stepped on their horses one after another, speeding up their journey to the north.

"Father-in-law, after the big battle starts, I think that Jiannu will divide his troops. While the main force is attacking Ningyuan's blocking position, it will resist our main force head-on, leaving the little food and grass in the middle." After screaming, Young Master Zhang Salivating his face, he begged Xiong Tingbi: "When the time comes, father-in-law, give me a cavalry force. When the opportunity arises, my son-in-law will immediately use the slaughtering slave army as an arrow to attack Jiannu's flank. If you can kill Jiannu again Food team, then we will be more confident in Tashan."

"Master Xiong, let the officials go." Before Xiong Tingbi could answer, Yan Mingtai, the governor of Jimen, took the conversation first, and then turned to Young Master Zhang and said, "Zhang Xiantai, it's not that the officials are trying to steal merit from you. The officials have already noticed that. , after the last farewell to Jimen, when we meet again this time, you have obviously lost a lot of weight, and your eye circles are often dark. You must be very tired after fighting three big battles in more than five months? Leave the task of flanking the Jiannu army to me."

"Zhang Xiantai is not only very tired? He is exhausted!" Shi Kefa rushed to say: "From June to now, Zhang Xiantai has personally commanded three major battles and countless small battles. Almost every night he only sleeps for two hours at most. Staying up all night is even more numerous, and he is as tired as a cow. In the past few days, he has just pretended to be in front of you. When he returned to the tent, his coughing has not stopped. I have persuaded him countless times to see a doctor. Look, he just said that he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so he refused to agree to anything."

"Have you got a cold?" Xiong Tingbi glanced at Young Master Zhang, and said with a gloomy face, "Did he catch a cold when he took a detour to attack Jiannu on a snowy night a few days ago? Hu'er is still young, I don't want Hu'er to become a widow at such a young age!"

"It's okay, father-in-law, don't listen to Brother Xian's exaggeration. I am young and vigorous, and my body is strong." Young Master Zhang waved his hand carelessly, but he opened his mouth to speak while rushing, and a breath of snowy wind blew into his mouth. Living in the saddle, he coughed violently.Xiong Tingbi watched coldly, and knew that his son-in-law was really tired these days, and was about to order his son-in-law to stay and rest, when a Ming army scout rushed towards him and shouted from a distance: "Master Supervisor, Master Supervisor, something is not right Already! Ningyuan’s army suddenly gave up their blocking position and retreated to Ningyuan City, the main force of slave building passed the blocking fortifications, and they have already passed Ningyuan City!”

"What?!" Xiong Tingbi and Yan Mingtai were shocked together, and Young Master Zhang, who was coughing violently, also stopped coughing in shock, straightened up and blurted out: "What's possible? Yuan Chonghuan is crazy?"

"Stop! The whole army stops advancing!" Xiong Tingbi decisively waved his hand to stop the whole army, jumped off the horse and asked the scouts with a livid face, "Did Yuan Chonghuan fight Jiannu? Was he beaten back to the city by Jiannu, or Voluntarily giving up the position and retreating without authorization?"

"They retreated on their own initiative." The scout replied with tears in his voice: "You can see clearly that the vanguard of the main force of the slave establishment is still two miles away from the Ningyuan army's position, and the Ningyuan army abandoned the already repaired position." The fortifications were withdrawn to the city of Ningyuan, and the Jiannu army did not chase them down. They directly tore down the fence set up by the Ningyuan army, and flattened the anti-horse sandbags piled up by the Ningyuan army, and went straight north! Superintendent, Is Ningyuan's army crazy, how could they give up such a good opportunity to kill the enemy?"

"Yuan Chonghuan, I'm fucking your eighteenth generation ancestor!" Xiong Tingbi couldn't bear it anymore, and finally yelled at his former disciple.Over there, Young Master Zhang held the reins tightly with both hands, his handsome forehead was throbbing with veins, and he opened his mouth to yell, but he couldn't help but his eyes darkened, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he turned over and fell off the horse amidst the screams of the Ming army generals. , fainted on the spot......

"Zhang Xiantai, Zhang Xiantai! Zhang Xiantai!" Amidst the screams, countless generals of the Ming army jumped off their horses, hurriedly helped Young Master Zhang up, rubbed his chest and pinched him, but Young Master Zhang's teeth were closed tightly, and he didn't see him for a long time. movement.Over there, Xiong Tingbi glanced at his son-in-law with a livid face, then at Ningyuan City in the distance, and shouted angrily: "Take the bastard to see the doctor, and everyone else, follow me to Ningyuan and settle accounts with that bastard Yuan Chonghuan!"

With endless anger and resentment, the [-] soldiers of the Ming army rushed directly to Ningyuan City, but all the gates of Ningyuan City had already been closed, and the red cannons on the city had already been loaded with ammunition, aiming at the aggressive killing. The main force of the Ming army came.Xiong Tingbi was also not polite, and rushed to the downstairs of Ningyuan City, raised his head and yelled frantically: "Where's that bastard Yuan Chonghuan? Tell him to get out, I want to talk to him!"

"Master Xiong, our Futai has suddenly contracted a serious illness and is bedridden, unable to answer you." Zu Dashou's head poked out from the city wall, and said to Xiong Tingbi with a smile: "If you have anything to say, please tell the general." In the end, the general will definitely tell Yuan Futai the truth."

"He's bedridden?" Xiong Tingbi almost went mad with anger, and roared wildly: "Then you open the city gate, and I will go to his bed and tell him in person."

"I'm really sorry, the war is urgent, Yuan Futai has ordered to block the city gate." Zu Dashou replied with a smile: "Without Yuan Futai's order, if the general opens the gate without authorization, he will be charged with beheading, but Yuan Futai Tai is too sick now, and has been unconscious all the time, and the final general is temporarily unable to ask him for orders to open the city gate to welcome the governor into the city."

"Fuck your mother!" Xiong Tingbi was furious, and cursed loudly.Zu Dashou was not angry, but just said with a smile on his face: "Master, in fact, the last general also knows your reason for coming. You must want to support Yuan, why didn't you stop the Jiannu army? Please forgive me for this point Originally, the blocking fortifications of our Ningyuan army had been repaired, but when we were preparing to start a war with Jiannu, our Yuan Futai suddenly fell ill due to overwork, and the morale of the army was also in turmoil. In order not to let the brothers die in vain, Yuan Futai Futai had no choice but to order his troops back to the city before he fell into a coma! By the way, Yuan Futai also said, please rest assured, Governor Xiong, after your main force pursues Jiannu and goes north, our Ningyuan army will definitely send troops to protect your food road. I won’t let Jiannu Qingqi harass your food road.”

"I——!" Xiong Tingbi was so angry that he almost had nothing to say. Under his anger, Xiong Tingbi roared wildly: "Zu Dashou, I am now ordering you as the envoy of the Liaodong Economic Strategy, the Governor of Liaodong, and the censor of the capital of the Ming Dynasty." You, open the city gate immediately!"

"Master Xiong, I'm really sorry." Zu Dashou continued to say with a smile on his face: "The general is away, and the emperor's order is not acceptable. The military situation is too urgent now, and the slave army is watching the tiger from the sidelines, and Yuan Futai is in a coma again. If you don’t wake up, the last general really dare not take the risk of opening the city gate! If Governor Xiong feels that the last general has done something wrong, he can issue a constitutional order to have Yuan Futai punish the last general, and the last general will also be guilty.”

"Are you going to open it or not?" Xiong Tingbi's eyes were red with anger, and he roared: "If you don't open the door again, I will give an order..." Xiong Tingbi wanted to say that I was going to give an order to attack the city, but he didn't finish his sentence However, Xiong Tingbi was held back by the person behind him. When Xiong Tingbi looked back, he saw that the person holding him was his son-in-law Zhang Haogu, but his face was terribly pale. It was obvious that Young Master Zhang had just been rescued.

"Father-in-law, please calm down." Young Master Zhang coughed and said, "We don't have siege weapons, we can't take down Ningyuan City, which is extremely well-defended, and Jianu hasn't gone far, it really drove Yuan Chonghuan into a hurry, Jianu turned around and killed him. If we attack from both inside and outside, we will definitely lose."

"Then forget it?" Xiong Tingbi asked angrily.Young Master Zhang didn't answer, but raised his head, and said to Zu Dashou with a smile on his face: "General Zu, since Yuan Futai is already ill, and you don't dare to open the city gate without authorization, then forget it, please report to Yuan Fu Taiwan, tell him to take care of his health, he must take good care of his health."

"It's still Tanhualang who is reasonable, and will eventually report to Yuan Futai truthfully." Zu Dashou replied with a smile on his face.Young Master Zhang smiled and shouted again: "Also, General Zu, please take good care of your health, and General Zu, you have a family of 120 seven people, 16 males over 59 years old, and 16 children under 12 years old. There are 56 people and women, and you must take care of your health! It’s winter, and it’s too cold here in western Liaoning, so you must be careful not to catch a cold and take good care of your health.” Speaking of this, the smile on Master Zhang’s face became more and more cordial, very He said sincerely: "I will definitely offer incense to General Zu's family every day, and pray that your family will live a long and healthy life. I swear, I will definitely do this."

Young Master Zhang's smile became more and more cordial, but the smile on Zu Dashou's face was completely frozen, and a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, as if falling into an ice cellar.Young Master Zhang said very kindly: "By the way, there is one more thing. I have to remind you, General Zu, that the concubine Long Ganqing you took privately in Jinzhou City, General Zu, also has your flesh and blood in her belly. Please let her protect the fetus in the womb. General Zu, no matter how busy you are, you have to take time to visit them. If you need any medicine to protect the fetus, just write to me and I can get it for you from the inside. The best medicine."

"Long'er has it? Why didn't I know?" Zu Dashou first blurted out in surprise, and then his face lost all color.Young Master Zhang smiled, and said: "Also, Yuan Futai's sudden illness this time must be the root cause of Yuan Futai's accidental medication when he contracted the disease last time—if I remember correctly, last time Wang Futai fell ill. The doctor gave Yuan Futai a prescription with three qian for Fangfeng, two qian for Qianghuo, one qian for Poria cocos, one qian for tangerine peel, one qian for persimmon twig, five fen for cassia twig, and two fen for licorice..." said Now, Young Master Zhang slapped his head, smiled and said: "Look at my memory, I still have three slices of ginger. Please tell Yuan Futai, General Zu, if you think that doctor is not good enough, you can ask him to write down the pulse report and send it to the capital. I will definitely ask the best imperial physician in the palace to prescribe another prescription for Yuan Futai."

There was no sound on the tower of Ningyuan City. Whether it was Zu Dashou who was standing beside the city wall or Yuan Chonghuan who was hiding in the dark, they were already stunned by the seemingly ordinary words of Young Master Zhang. Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan's trousers were wet and dripping water, he didn't know whether it was caused by snowflakes turning into water, or he was so frightened by Young Master Zhang that he peed on his crotch.Under the city, Young Master Zhang laughed three times, cupped his hands to say take care, and then pulled Xiong Tingbi away, laughing and ordering: "Retreat the troops, withdraw the troops, with the great victories in Shanhaiguan and Liuzhouhe, brothers can all be promoted and get rich I fell asleep with my mother-in-law in my arms, so I can sleep peacefully and steadily."

From then on, Young Master Zhang's appearance of calmly speaking with a smile on his face with blood on the corner of his mouth has also become the eternal nightmare of the members of the Shanzong. Whenever they dream of this scene in their dreams, every member of the Shanzong will wake up screaming, " He's coming! He's coming! He's coming to settle accounts with us!"

Pulling Xiong Tingbi and leading the main force of the Ming army to quickly evacuate Ningyuan City, Young Master Zhang coughed and said to Xiong Tingbi: "Father-in-law, go back to Shanhaiguan. The Shanzong has been cornered. We continue to chase Jiannu, and they will definitely cut off our food supply." Dao said, if we continue to fight this battle, we will definitely lose. The only wise choice is to withdraw troops to preserve the army and the existing results. Also, immediately send a fast boat to notify the navy and let them withdraw troops, Shan Zong must have leaked the ambush position to Jiannu, and the wind direction in winter is too unfavorable for our navy, so if the navy continues to go north, I am afraid that the ambush of Jiannu will not succeed, and in turn will be ambushed by Jiannu."

"Oh, I regret it at the beginning." Xiong Tingbi slapped himself on the head with a big hand, and sighed in despair: "At the beginning, if I had listened to you bastard, how could I have made such a situation?"

"Father-in-law, don't blame yourself too much." Young Master Zhang shook his head and sighed: "Actually, Yuan Chonghuan's responsibility is greater than yours. If I didn't think I was smart and put forward a proposal to decentralize powers, Let Yuan Chonghuan dominate outside the pass, how could he manage Ningyuan into his independent kingdom so smoothly?"

"It's a failure." Eldest Young Master Zhang sighed dejectedly, and shouted, "Gou Jiannu, you guys are really lucky!" As soon as the words fell, Young Master Zhang spurted out another mouthful of blood, and fainted again.

Yuan Wenbi’s note that was forgotten in the previous chapter: Biography [-] of "Drafts of Qing History", Fu Ming'a, styled Zhi'an, Yuan, a native of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, and a descendant of Chonghuan, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty.After the death of Chonghuan, his family lived in Runing.
