Chapter 330
"Miss Sun Zhongyu, please come in, Lord Shaobao and Lord Lu Wanling are waiting for you inside." Leading Sun Zhongyu, who calls himself Sun Zhongshou's younger sister, to the door of Young Master Zhang's sleeping tent, the small shop politely bowed to the Sun Zhongyu said: "But I'm sorry, for Zhang Shaobao's safety and for Miss Sun's own good, you must first undergo an inspection to see if you have any weapons on you." Waving his hands, the two young men immediately surrounded him, stretched out all four hands, and searched Sun Zhongyu carefully.

"Master Jun, even if you do a body search, can you find a girl?" Sun Zhongyu protested in a low voice with a blushing face: "Although I come from a lowly family background, I am still a young girl."

Without waiting for the small shop to reply, a young man who searched Sun Zhongyu hurriedly replied in a shrill voice: "Girl, please don't worry, the two of us are eunuchs next to Mr. You won't gain your reputation." Another little eunuch also said with a shrill smirk: "If the girl doesn't believe me, we can take off our trousers and ask the girl to check." Before the words finished, the soldiers of the Ming army outside the tent were already chattering. Smiling obscenely, Sun Zhongyu was ashamed and angry, hated in his heart but dared not speak, so he blushed and let the two young eunuchs search her body carefully.Fortunately, the two young eunuchs searched inside and out and found no weapons, so the small shop stepped aside, made an invitation gesture to Sun Zhongyu, and said with a smile: "Miss Sun, it's all right, please."

"As expected of the soldiers brought out by the little mad dog Zhang, they are really not good things!" Sun Zhongyu gritted his silver teeth lightly, suppressing his anger and followed behind the small shop into the tent, completely turning a deaf ear to the lewd smiles of the surrounding Ming soldiers.But before entering the account, Sun Zhongyu suddenly had another thought, "What kind of person is the little mad dog Zhang Haogu who I swore to Tianming to die with him? And what does he look like? My adoptive father said he was a The most insidious poisonous snake, with a beautiful appearance but deadly fangs! Some people say that he is as ugly as a pig, with blue face and fangs, and children will have nightmares at night when they see his face! Others say that he has a wretched appearance and is greedy for money Lustful, drooling when seeing silver and beautiful women, cowardly as a mouse, peeing his pants when he hears the sound of killing, being able to win so many battles is entirely due to good luck—— these words, which one is true? of?"

With endless questions, Sun Zhongyu entered the tent of Young Master Zhang gracefully, quietly raised his head to look at the seat in the middle of the tent, Sun Zhongyu was inevitably a little dumbfounded, the young man seated in the middle turned out to be extremely handsome, with elegant long His hair hangs down his shoulders, his skin is white, and although his beautiful face is full of sickness, nothing can conceal his handsome appearance, which is comparable to that of a peerless beauty. At first glance, Sun Zhongyu almost thought that this man was just a beautiful woman disguised as a man girl!But when he took a closer look, Sun Zhongyu completely overturned his previous judgment, because although the man in front of him was handsome and delicate, his bright eyes were full of firmness and fortitude, and the two cold eyes swept across Sun Zhongyu. On his body, Sun Zhongyu actually had a feeling that went deep into his soul, as if the deepest secrets in his heart had been exposed in front of him, making Sun Zhongyu not only vigilant, but also his heart beating slightly faster, and his face was feverish.

While Sun Zhongyu was looking at Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang must also be looking at Sun Zhongyu carefully. Just like what Lu Wanling said, Sun Zhongyu is indeed a rare beauty, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, skin like snow, although she is not very old, her figure is already exquisite and embossed The place that should be thin is thin, and the place that should be fat is fat. It has the potential to intoxicate all living beings, but Young Master Zhang is also very clear that this charming beauty in front of him is definitely not just as simple as the special envoy of Shanzong. With a special mission.And it was Lu Wanling who broke the deadlock first, and said to Sun Zhongyu with a big face: "Miss Sun, do you see that? This lord is the famous Zhang Shaobao, Master Zhang, why don't you hurry up and salute?"

"Is he really Zhang Haogu's little mad dog?" The last trace of luck in Sun Zhongyu's heart was shattered, and he knelt down and kowtowed to Young Master Zhang, and said crisply and tenderly: "The daughter of the people kowtowed to the prince of the Ming Dynasty to protect Mr. Zhang, and my lord is blessed." Kim Ann."

"Judging from your accent, you seem to be a native of Liaodong, right?" Young Master Zhang asked darkly.Sun Zhongyu's heart trembled, knowing that although he had learned a lot of Chinese from Huang Taiji, it was only Chinese with a Northeast accent, which was slightly different from the Central Plains dialect.But Sun Zhongyu, who had been prepared for a long time, was not in a hurry, but replied according to the prepared countermeasures: "My lord, Minnv is from Dongguan, Guangdong. The girl is only seven years old, so over the years, the folk girl has learned a Liaodong accent."

"Oh, so that's the case." Young Master Zhang nodded, seeming to agree with Sun Zhongyu's explanation, and asked casually, "What's your name? Have you eaten yet?" Sun Zhongyu was taken aback, not knowing what Young Master Zhang meant, but Fortunately, Young Master Zhang quickly changed to a Shandong accent that Sun Zhongyu could understand and said, "Get up, your name is Sun Zhongyu, isn't it? Have you eaten yet?"

"Master Xie, the Minnv is exactly Sun Zhongyu, General Sun Zhongshou of Ning Yuan, who is the second brother of the Minnv." Sun Zhongyu stood up, and replied in a pleasant voice: "Thanks to the gift of the Lord, the Minnv was already in the barracks just now. We have eaten."

"That's good." Young Master Zhang nodded again, and asked straight to the point: "I don't want to talk nonsense, what did Yuan Gou Thief and Sun Zhongshou send you here for? I don't have time to chatter with you, so finish it all at once."

"Back to my lord, Master Yuan and my elder brother sent this servant to beg your lord to be merciful and spare their lives." Two crystal clear tears slid down Sun Zhongyu's white jade-like cheeks, and he said with a sob: "Over the years, my brother and Master Yuan For personal gain, I did a lot of things to the court of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I deserve death. However, my brother and Mr. Yuan really did not do many things on purpose, but were forced to that point by the situation. Now Mr. Shaobao You personally mentioned that the [-] kings went north to quell the rebellion. My elder brother and Master Yuan regretted so much. I hope you can forgive them and ask the Ming court for an amnesty edict on their behalf. They are willing to lead all the soldiers and civilians in Ningyuan to surrender. Then, for Master Shaobao, you go north to kill slaves and make meritorious deeds, please be kind to Master Shaobao."

When Sun Zhongyu said this, on the surface Sun Zhongyu was crying pear blossoms with rain, but the two big eyeballs covered by tears kept turning around secretly, looking for opportunities to do something, but it was a pity that Young Master Zhang refused to let her get close If there is a chance, there are more than a dozen armed soldiers next to him. As long as Sun Zhongyu makes a slight change, these people will rush up like wolves, and unceremoniously smash Sun Zhongyu's body into thousands of pieces. Sun Zhongyu is helpless. , I can only suppress my excitement for the time being, and wait for the opportunity calmly.After Sun Zhongyu finished speaking, Young Master Zhang said indifferently: "Since Yuan Chonghuan wants to surrender, why didn't he rein in the precipice and plead guilty after I participated in the imperial court's numerous crimes, but openly changed his banner and rebelled against the side? Accept the canonization of slavery? Now that the army of the Northern Expedition is suppressing the border, why has he figured it out again and wants to surrender to the official?"

"Because Master Yuan was deceived by Jiannu." Sun Zhongyu was also prepared for this, and replied with tears in his eyes: "In order to make our Ming army kill each other, Jiannu first lied to Master Yuan that he would send reinforcements to reinforce Ningyuan. But when the No. 1 general of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shaobao, was suppressing the army of Master Zhang, Jiannu was afraid of your divine power, Master Zhang, and did not dare to send troops. Master Yuan and his brothers did not dare to offend your majesty, so they gave birth to the idea of ​​abandoning the dark and turning to the light. Heart."

"So, if Jiannu really sent reinforcements to Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan and your brother would definitely not surrender?" Young Master Zhang asked unceremoniously.Sun Zhongyu didn't dare to answer, but knelt down again, choked up and said: "Master Zhang, my brother and Lord Yuan really know that they have made a mistake, please show mercy and spare their lives. Minnv is just such a brother, As long as your lord is willing to let him live, the women of the people are willing to serve you as a cow or a horse, and tie a grass ring to repay your lord's life." After saying that, Sun Zhongyu covered his face and cried, until the pear blossoms brought rain, and the cuckoo Weeping blood, very moving.

Sun Zhongyu's words are simply a naked temptation, but it is a pity that Young Master Zhang doesn't like this at all, he just sneers and appreciates Sun Zhongyu's passionate performance, neither speaks nor comforts, but Lu Wanling tells Young Master Zhang even With winks, he said hypocritically: "Tan Hualang, for Miss Sun's sake, do you think about it?" As he said that, Lu Wanling even winked at Young Master Zhang who killed a chicken and wiped his neck, signaling Young Master Zhang to sugar-coat this sugar-coated cannonball. Eat it and spit out the shells.Young Master Zhang was unmoved, and just asked coldly: "Since Yuan Dog Thief and your brother know that the end is near and intend to surrender to save their lives, why didn't they restrain themselves to surrender? Why did you send a weak woman like you to come here?" To test the official's attitude?"

"Because... because..." Sun Zhongyu replied hesitantly: "Because my elder brother and Master Yuan are afraid that you will kill them directly, so I sent a minnv to ask you what you mean, if you If you are willing to seek a pardon for my elder brother and Lord Yuan, then Lord Yuan and my elder brother will open the city and surrender immediately."

"The implication is that if I refuse to ask for a pardon for them, they will fight to the death with me?" Young Master Zhang asked coldly.Of course Sun Zhongyu didn't dare to answer, but shed tears silently.Young Master Zhang ignored her, coughed for a while and drank the soup, and then said lightly: "Sun Zhongyu, you are a weak woman, but you have the courage to serve as the negotiating envoy of the rebels in Ningyuan. Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

"My family is not afraid." Sun Zhongyu quickly threw out his high hat, and said coquettishly: "Master Zhang, you are the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty, you have the courage and responsibility, and you will not attack such a weak woman as your family."

"The key is because you are beautiful, right?" Young Master Zhang said with a sneer, "I am young and energetic, and I am at an age when I see a beautiful woman like you pleading so hard, so I must be reluctant to just kill you, right? "

Sun Zhongyu's face was flushed, and after a long while, she said softly: "If your lord is merciful, the daughters of the people are willing to serve you as your slaves and servants, and serve you for life, in order to repay your kindness for your brother's life."

"Lift up your face." Young Master Zhang ordered.Sun Zhongyu didn't dare to be negligent, and slowly raised his pretty face like a peony, allowing Young Master Zhang to examine it carefully.And Young Master Zhang's face was calm at first, but after appreciating it carefully for a long time, Young Master Zhang finally showed a wretched smile on his face, and said shamelessly: "Well, you stay here tonight. The servant is comfortable, I can consider to spare your brother and sister's life."

"Sure enough, he is a womanizer!" Sun Zhongyu was both happy and angry in his heart, but his pink face became more and more flushed.But at this moment, Zhang Shitou suddenly interjected: "Master, no, the imperial doctor said, you can't get close to women yet, and besides, Master Xiong is in Shanhaiguan, if he finds out..."

"So what can he do if he knows? He himself is also three wives and four concubines, so he won't let my son-in-law accept a maid?" Young Master Zhang murmured dissatisfiedly, but couldn't help bending over and coughing violently. Zhang Shitou and the shop again It was hammering the back and feeding water, but it still didn't work. In desperation, Young Master Zhang had no choice but to wave his hand and order: "Take this girl down and lock her up alone. I'll talk about it when I'm free...cough...when I'm free." While Sun Zhongyu was on the verge of failure, and still couldn't find a chance to get close, he had no choice but to follow Young Master Zhang's personal soldiers out of the tent obediently. When he was about to leave the tent, Sun Zhongyu turned around and said: "Master Zhang, if you trust me, Please let the slave family serve your soup, okay?"

"Stop rambling, get out!" Zhang Shitou, who was about to be robbed of his job, shouted angrily.Sun Zhongyu hated even more in his heart, so he had to leave obediently.After Sun Zhongyu left, Lu Wanling was also taken out of the bed tent by Young Master Zhang's personal soldiers. As soon as they left, Young Master Zhang stopped coughing on his hind legs, and Zhang Shitou immediately lowered his voice and said, "Master, none of what this little girl said is true , you have already seen it, why don't you expose her? And leave her in the army?"

"Why would I be willing to push back the great gift Yuan Chonghuan sent?" Young Master Zhang said with a sinister smile, "I will pass on an order that no one is allowed to approach this little girl. It will be of great use for me to take it wherever I go."

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

The night passed quickly, and on the next morning, Young Master Zhang formally held a military meeting in Shanhaiguan to determine the combat strategy and the three-way commander. Because the most stubborn and senior Xiong Tingbi had been persuaded the first day, Young Master Zhang went to the army. The strategy of the Northern Expedition divided into three routes was passed without a doubt.However, Young Master Zhang and Xiong Tingbi had a fierce dispute over the command of the main army. Xiong Tingbi, who was worried about his son-in-law's illness, said that he wanted to command the main force to go north first, and take on the task of confronting the main force of slavery. Young Master Zhang was very clear about his position. The father-in-law is absolutely fine in fighting, but he is inferior to Nurhachi in adapting to changes and commanding on the spot, so Young Master Zhang insisted on personally commanding the main force. live.In the end, Young Master Zhang's eyes were red with anxiety, and he held out Shangfang's sword to threaten him. Only then did he barely suppress the angry old man, and passed the resolution that he would personally lead the main force to confront Jiannu head-on.

After discussing for a while, the formation and composition of the Ming army and the list of the three-way commanders and their deputies were finally confirmed. Young Master Zhang personally commanded the first main force. , Mangui iron cavalry, and part of the Shanhaiguan army, with a total strength of 5 troops, responsible for the task of confronting the main force of the establishment of slaves; the second coach is Sun Chuanting, governor of Datong, and Bi Ziyan, deputy governor of Tianjin, with an army of 3. The Xuanda army and the Shaanxi army are composed, and there are another [-] Tianjin navy troops to assist in the battle. The main task is to besiege Ningyuan, trap the Shanzong army in Ningyuan City, and wait for opportunities; The commander-in-chief and the deputy is Sun Yuanhua, governor of Denglai. The army is mainly composed of the Shanhaiguan army, the Sichuan army and the Denglai water army. As the general reserve of the whole army, it supports two battlefields at any time.Yan Mingtai, the governor of Jimen, was in charge of Shanhaiguan and led some Jimen troops to ensure the safety of Shanhaiguan. At the same time, he organized civilians to transport food and supplies to supply the frontline troops.

Soldiers are extremely fast. On September 13th, 14 horses and horses are ready. Young Master Zhang immediately ordered to set off. The troops set out in three groups in sequence, taking two roads by water and land to fight to the north in a mighty way. The forest and the sea are like weaving ships, sails and flags are like clouds, and the momentum is unparalleled.After the Shanzong rebels received the news, all of them were ashen-colored and panicked all day long. Yuan Chonghuan immediately used the old trick and ordered the whole army to seal the city gate. A miracle happened.At this time, the good news finally came from the Jiannu side. On the third day of September, the Jiannu army totaled more than [-] people. It is estimated that the army has at least reached the Sancha River and is ready to face the decisive battle with the Ming army. Unfortunately, the Jiannu army still did not go directly south to Ningyuan The meaning of rescuing the Shanzong rebels.

"Suzerain! Sovereign! The investigation is clear!" At noon on September 5th, when the main force of the Ming army was less than forty miles away from Ningyuan, Sun Zhongshou, who was sent by Yuan Chonghuan to scout the enemy, finally rushed into the governor of Liaodong. In the lobby of the yamen, he shouted to the restless members of the Shanzong sect in the hall: "The barbarians are divided into three groups. The first route is [-] people, led by Zhang Haogu, a little mad dog, and has arrived at Caozhuangyi! The second route is Datong Sun Chuanting barbarians Leading, there are [-] troops, and they have already passed Heizhuangwopu! The third route is led by the old barbarian Xiong Tingbi, escorting a large amount of food and grass, and has already reached the Liuzhou River!"

"Little mad dog Zhang Haogu is in the first barbarian army?" Yuan Chonghuan's face turned pale upon hearing the news—it can't be helped, Young Master Zhang's posture is too much like wanting to kill the Shanzong rebels in an instant!The other members of the Shanzong also had their legs weak and their faces turned pale. Zu Dashou also screamed: "Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, is it determined that Dajin will not rescue us with all his strength, and plans to concentrate on killing us Ningyuan first. Then use Ningyuan as a transit point for grain and grass, and gradually go north?"

The reason why Zu Dashou came to this conclusion was not because he was inexperienced, but because Master Zhang’s three-way northward plan had too many variables. In addition to fighting according to the pre-booked strategy, the first way could be reached in Ningyuan. After attacking the city on the spot, the second route went north to stop the slave-building reinforcements, and the third route continued to be responsible for transshipment of grain and grass and protection of the grain road. Basically, without the support of intelligence, even Nuerhachi and his son would never try to touch it. Understand the tactical intentions of Young Master Zhang.So the members of the Shanzong nodded one after another, thinking that Zu Dashou's words were reasonable. Young Master Zhang clearly wanted to get rid of us first. slave source.In timidity, Yuan Chonghuan called his confidant Zhang Guobing to the back hall with a wink, and ordered in a low voice: "You arrange some of the most reliable people to guard on the pier outside the east gate, prepare a strong sea boat, and prepare for it." Good fresh water and dry food, no one is allowed to use it."

Knowing that he was definitely not the opponent of Young Master Zhang, Yuan Chonghuan was ready to run away, but something happened that Yuan Chonghuan couldn't believe in his dreams. In the evening, after the main force of Young Master Zhang arrived at the city of Ningyuan, not only did he not Immediately attacked the city, but crossed Ningyuan, took the official road and went directly north, and set up a temporary camp south of Lianshan Post in the north of Ningyuan-note that it was a temporary camp that could be set off at any time, not a stable camp for long-term combat.After the next morning, the main force of the Ming army pulled out its battalion and continued northward. The second batch of Sun Chuanting's army who arrived in Ningyuan set up a camp outside the west gate of Ningyuan.

Shanzong's enemy suddenly changed from the expected most terrifying Young Master Zhang to Sun Chuanting, who had no knowledge of combat power. The members of Shanzong were overjoyed and stunned, and they also speculated about Young Master Zhang's tactical intentions. Young Master Zhang's father-in-law, Xiong Tingbi, is far behind in comparison. After guessing for a long time, he couldn't figure out why, but Zhang Guobing asked Yuan Chonghuan cautiously: "Sect Master, do you want to send a fast boat to report to Dajin Khan and tell Dajin?" The main force, Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, has brought the main force to them?"

"Of course..." Yuan Chonghuan originally wanted to say that of course he should report it, but when the words came to his mouth, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly came to his senses and yelled frantically: "I understand! I understand! Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, knew it a long time ago, Da Jin The main force will definitely not rescue us with all their strength, and will only hide in Jinzhou to watch the fire! So the little mad dog deliberately ignored us, and directly led the main force to the north to fight Jiannu! The purpose is to make Jiannu feel that our Shanzong still has a lot of uses, no He will abandon us casually, and will only honestly fight the little mad dog Zhang Haogu! The little mad dog can't afford to stretch the grain road for hundreds of miles, and go to the line of the Sancha River where there is enough water and it is difficult to cross to fight Jiannu. !"

"It makes sense, as long as our Shanzong is still in Ningyuan, Zhang Haogu's little mad dog's food path will not be safe for a day, and the main force of Dajin will never be willing to abandon us!" Other members of the Shanzong suddenly realized.Zhang Guobing was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked again: "Suzerain, do you still report to Da Jinhan?"

"Idiot!" Yuan Chonghuan yelled, "It's a fool to tell them this important news. What if they find out the purpose of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog and return to Sanchahe? Wouldn't we be miserable? Let Zhang Haogu The little mad dog is going to entangle them, so that they can't withdraw in Jinzhou, Jian slaves will not leave us alone! Quick, send the clippers to report to Da Jinhan, saying that Zhang Haogu's main force of the little mad dog has arrived in Ningyuan, And surrounded Ningyuan, we are fighting bloody battles, desperately resisting, please speed up the march and send reinforcements to rescue us!"

After the truth came out, Nuerhachi and his son wanted to strangle Yuan Chonghuan to death!
