Chapter 335 What Is More Than Patience
(PS: The results of the monthly pass are dismal, friends please give your support! Also, Red Sausage Squad, you haven’t given the monthly pass to Pure Wolf for several months!)
Coming and going is not indecent, Nuerhachi and his son were thinking about how to kill Young Master Zhang in the slave camp, and naturally Young Master Zhang had to think about how to kill Nuerhachi and his son in the camp of the Ming army.Although compared with Nuerhachi and his son, Young Master Zhang, who has been fond of cheating since he was a child and has been prepared for a long time, obviously has a lot more cards in his hand, but he probably has a good understanding. After returning to the camp, Zhang Da The first order issued by the young master is - no matter what the cost, we must find the place where Jiannu's grain is stored!
"Jiannu's food storage area?" Yuan Keli, the new governor of Liaodong and Minister of the Ministry of War, asked in confusion: "Zhang Shaobao, isn't Yizhou City in Jiannu's hands? It is less than ninety miles away from the battlefield and has a city wall Protection, didn’t Jiannu hoard food and grass there? Is it still useful?”

Young Master Zhang didn't answer, but just winked at Shi Kefa. Shi Kefa understood, smiled and answered for Young Master Zhang: "Master Yuan, a few years ago, Xiaosheng also asked Shaobao a similar question, but was severely punished by Master Shaobao." I scolded hard——Yizhou City’s defenses and distance are really suitable for food storage, but its location is too bad. It is located in the north of Jinzhou, far away from the Liaodong official road leading to Liaoyang, which is not conducive to Jiannu’s follow-up food and grass. Transportation is not conducive to transfer and handling. Once the main force of slave building is strategically transferred, hoarding grain and grass in Yizhou will become a big problem. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Nuerhachi, the veteran slave in the battlefield, to put grain and grass in Yizhou. Place it to the east of the Jinzhou Battlefield."

"So that's how it is." Yuan Keli blushed, and said embarrassingly: "I have worked in the military department for many years, but I still don't know anything about such things as commanding on the spot and stationing troops to accumulate food. I interrupted randomly and made Zhang Shaobao laugh. That's it." After that, Yuan Keli stepped back quickly, not daring to speak indiscriminately, Shi Kefa comforted him: "Master Yuan, don't worry, take your time, your foundation is much better than Xiaosheng's. I remember that when Xiaosheng first arrived at Zhang Shaobao's shogunate, Mr. Bao calculated the supply and demand of military rations, and he didn’t even understand that civilians would need to consume a lot of food on the way to transport it. Fortunately, Zhang Shaobao gave advice in time, and this did not lead to a catastrophe. It’s just a glimpse of the door.”

"Xianzhi doesn't need to be humble. You are a fast learner, and you have grown a lot now. It is probably no problem for you to lead an army of [-] to [-]." Song Xiance praised Shi Kefa with a smile, then turned to Young Master Zhang and said: " Boss, destroying Jiannu's grain storage is certainly a good way to deal a heavy blow to Jiannu's morale, but the old Jiannu Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji are not easy, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to raid their granaries. We'd better It’s good to do a few more preparations.” After that, Song Xiance added: “Also, we must guard against Jiannu’s idea of ​​storing food for us, Nuerhachi old Jiannu is also a master of robbing food .”

"Our granary is not a big problem." Young Master Zhang said quite confidently: "Bijia Mountain is isolated in the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Jiannu found out where our granary is, he would have no chance to do anything."

"Boss, be careful sailing for ten thousand years." Song Xiance warned: "Judging from today's contact war, Jiannu is on par with us. This battle is likely to become a stalemate. After a long time, there is no guarantee that we will not Negligence occurred. Moreover, when Bijia Mountain is at low tide, army horses can go directly to the island. If Jiannu has people who are proficient in astronomy and geography, it is not difficult to calculate when Bijia Mountain is most dangerous."

"Then let Zhao Lunlun take the Jiqi team to Bijia Mountain to assist in the defense. He has a cautious personality and can entrust the important task of guarding food." Young Master Zhang was able to listen to other people's advice, and immediately changed his mind and ordered: "From today, every In half a month, a team of slave slaughter troops will be rotated to the island to help defend, just in case." Zhang Shitou agreed, and quickly sent someone to pass the order.Young Master Zhang asked Song Xiance again: "Master Song, do you think the timing is right for us to play Amin's card now?"

"Boss, the students think that Nuerhachi's old Jiannu has a very good saying." Song Xiance did not answer directly, but said slowly: "War is like cutting down a tree. It is impossible to cut it with an axe. The ax is hacked one after another, and gradually breaks; an evenly matched enemy must eat up the enemy's strength bit by bit, weaken the enemy to the limit, and then destroy it in one fell swoop. ——If the army of slaves is compared to a If it is a big tree, then Amin is just a branch of this big tree, or a branch that is not very strong. Even if it is cut off immediately, how much impact will it have on this big tree? It is destined to be cut off by itself, so why should we rush to cut it? Wouldn’t it be better to cut off other branches first and then let this branch slowly cut itself off?”

"Master, what do you mean, don't be in a hurry to play Amin's card?" Young Master Zhang asked thoughtfully.Song Xiance smiled and replied: "Students don't quite mean that. They just think that since the branch of Amin grows on the big tree of Jiannu, why don't we grow on this branch that is within reach of us?" Put some bugs, let the bugs climb up the trunk and eat other branches?"

Young Master Zhang stopped talking, and after thinking for a long time, Young Master Zhang ordered: "Master Song, according to the previous agreement, contact Amin in secret, and let him spread the news of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's sneak attack on the hinterland of Liaodong in the Jiannu army, so as to shake Jiannu's opinion." The heart of the army. Then let him try to frame the blame and put the blame on Nurhachi's other sons."

Song Xiance applauded loudly, and praised: "The boss is really smart. The students just think that Amin still has some uses, but they can't think of how to use it. But the boss can immediately come up with a way to squeeze out more oil from Amin. In this way Come on, the morale of the Jiannu army will definitely be shaken, and Nurhachi will definitely investigate the source of the news in detail, whether or not the investigation finds out, the morale of the Jiannu army will definitely be even more chaotic."

"Master Song has won the prize. Thanks to your reminder, I just remembered that Amin has more uses." Young Master Zhang smiled lightly, and ordered: "Go and do it, and pass on the order as you like. Starting tomorrow, our military commander The battalion continues to build high forts, dig deep trenches, and strengthen defenses. This battle still has to be fought. We must first defend the camp well, and then find a way to slowly cut down trees."

………………

Because both Nuerhachi and Young Master Zhang thought it was impossible to decide the outcome of this decisive battle in a short period of time, in the next two days, neither the Ming army nor Jiannu launched a large-scale battle, and they all fought desperately. For defense, there are many fences and deep ditches, high fortification walls and many archery towers. The Ming army camp on the south bank of the Xiaoling River and the slave camp on the west bank of the Daling River are in full swing, just like construction sites.At the same time, the two armies sent out a large number of scouts to scout the enemy's movements and deploy the troops. The ingenious arrangements of each army and each branch are interlocking without leaving any flaws. They even more cleverly cover up their murderous intentions and create false appearances to confuse the enemy. As a result, the signs and flags on the sand tables of the two armies are changing repeatedly every day. The opponent was exhausted and kept yelling at the opponent for being shameless—is there anyone in the world who deploys five or six troops to support a camp in order to protect the highest point?Also, during the night watch, there are more than one hidden sentry and lurking sentry. Isn't this shameless?
Four days later, the basic construction of the camps of the two armies was completed, and neither of the two sides could find the weakness of the other, and neither of them could grasp the loopholes of the other, so they all died hoping that the other would show their flaws, so they could only use their brains honestly , Thinking about immoral and poisonous moves, luring the enemy to take the initiative to attack, using the solid fortifications of the self-army camp to consume the enemy's vital strength, and exchanging the minimum loss for the maximum enemy casualties.But at this moment, an undercurrent began to surge among the Jiannu army. I don’t know whether it was Amin deliberately spreading rumors at the behest of Young Master Zhang, or whether it was the Jiannu guards who accompanied and protected Nuerhachi when they met and chatted with Young Master Zhang. Shen Zuo revealed his words, in short, rumors spread everywhere, soldiers and officers all said that Master Zhang repeated his old tricks and sent a terrible army to attack the back of Jiannu's hinterland from the sea. There was smoke from the trees, and there was a sea of ​​corpses and blood everywhere. The soldiers and generals who built slaves were worried about the safety of their families in the rear. Naturally, their morale was shaken and their morale was blown.

"Ama, my son has already checked." At night, Huang Taiji came to Nurhachi's tent with a tired face, wiped the sweat on his face and said weakly: "On September 22, I will accompany Ama to meet with you. The thirty guards that Zhang Haogu met all swore to God that they never leaked any information, and the ministers also checked the soldiers who were close to them. These people all proved that these thirty guards did not leak any information. My son can be sure now that they are absolutely fine."

"Since they didn't leak the news, how did the news spread in the army? It spread so fast?" Nuerhachi asked with staring eyes.Next to him, Dai Shan hurriedly said, "Could it be that the spies arranged by the little savage Zhang Haogu sneaked into our camp and spread rumors?"

"Impossible!" Huang Taiji shook his head, and said decisively: "Our army's investigation is very strict, it is impossible for a large number of barbarians and spies to sneak into our camp, even if a few spies sneak into our camp, it is impossible to spread rumors so much Come on, it's so wide."

"How did the rumor spread?" Nuerhachi shouted angrily.Huang Taiji replied hesitantly: "I suspect that in our army, there may be a certain general who is a barbarian's espionage, instructing his cronies to spread rumors wantonly, and this news spread so quickly in our army."

"Have you found out whose military camp first spread it?" Nurhachi continued to ask.Huang Taiji hesitated again, then lowered his head and said softly: "It's Fifth Brother's barracks. My son found out that someone posted a notice in Fifth Brother's barracks three days ago and spread the news. Fifth Brother is afraid that Ama, don't you?" I was happy, so I didn't report it, I just tore up the notice, but there were too many people who saw the notice, and some people deliberately added fuel to the flames, so the news spread."

"Mang Gurtai? Impossible!" Nurhachi said decisively: "The old fifth's mind is a little simpler, but there is no doubt about his loyalty to our Daikin. Someone set it up!"

"Ama, it's better to be more cautious. It's best to call the fifth younger brother to ask him face to face." Dai Shan kindly suggested.The voice did not fall.Huang Taiji has already rushed to say: "Ama, absolutely don't ask, the fifth brother has a violent personality, the reason why I didn't call him to confront him is because I was worried that he would be too impulsive and feel that he was wronged and make a big deal out of it." , even more shaken the morale of the army, so I just told Fifth Brother to conduct a strict investigation, and must find out the spy who posted the notice in his camp, and I will take care of other things for him."

"You did the right thing." Nuerhachi nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, "The old fifth's temper is just too impulsive. Call him to confront him. He must make a fuss, and then it will be even more difficult to deal with." Forget it, Nuerhachi pointed at Huang Taiji, and ordered: "Go and pass an order to Lao Wu, tell him not to worry, I trust him, and tell him to be careful, don't make such a thing happen again." Of course Huang Taiji Agreed, Regent Baylor Daishan felt extremely uncomfortable, and at the same time secretly worried that although his father let him take the post of Regent Baylor, it is obvious that his father trusts and attaches more importance to the eighth child. Kicking, this sweaty bit......

The real source of the rumors has not yet been found out, and Master Zhang’s new poisonous trick came again. In the early morning of September 28, Master Zhang suddenly dispatched two thousand cavalry, ran outside the well-fortified slave camp, and cursed at Nu’er Ha Chi's 12th generation ancestor and Huang Taiji's [-]th generation ancestor also revealed the privacy of Jiannu regent Beile Daishan's adultery with his stepmother.Nuerhachi was furious, and ordered No.[-] son Azig to lead [-] cavalry out of the camp to kill the enemy, but as soon as Azig's army stepped out of the camp, the provocative Ming army cavalry ran away. While running, he scolded Nurhachi's family, Azige, who was so angry that he was so angry that he didn't listen to the fast horse of the envoy of Huang Taiji, immediately swung his troops in pursuit, and the result was very natural. The Ming army's elite rushed forward, gunning, bombarding and slashing with knives, so that Azig had to leave two or three hundred corpses and escape, and then he was scolded by Nuerhachi.

Some friends will definitely ask, Young Master Zhang will send people to provoke and seduce Jiannu to attack his fortified camp, why didn't Jiannu retaliate against him in his own way, and also sent false soldiers to the Ming army camp to drink Scolding and provoking, and seducing Young Master Zhang to fight against Jiannu's equally strong and perfect camp?Let me explain here, in fact, Nuerhachi and his son also wanted to use this trick, but Nuerhachi and his son knew very well that with the thick skin of Young Master Zhang, the soldiers who built slaves scolded the ancestors of Young Master Zhang to the generation of Zhang Liang Zhang's ovary ——Young Master Zhang will also send envoys with a smile on his face, carrying a white flag to bring tea and water to the Jiannu soldiers who are cursing people, lest they be dry and tongue-tied and scold loudly enough—this trick, Young Master Zhang used it in Jinzhou five years ago overused.

The combat effectiveness of the main force of the two sides is comparable, and the coaches of both sides are determined to win the odds and never take risks. If you can't hold your breath and reveal your weakness, the opponent will have a chance to attack. It is also in this situation that Young Master Zhang's thick skin has a great advantage. He can calmly arrange clever provocations, irritate the opponent and then strike later.Although Nuerhachi and his sons understand the truth that whoever reveals his flaws first will be unlucky first, but in terms of thickness, Nuerhachi and his sons combined cannot compare with Young Master Zhang, so Nuerhachi and his son also He didn't intend to provoke Young Master Zhang, but he was trying to resist the anger that Young Master Zhang provoked, while patiently looking for opportunities, hoping that Young Master Zhang would make mistakes.But the question is, can Young Master Zhang make mistakes?

Probably God opened his eyes, and really couldn't bear to see such a brazen young master Zhang flaunting everywhere. On September [-]th, a good opportunity finally came to Jiannu——At noon that day, Jiannu scouts suddenly discovered that in Xiaoling On the south bank of the river, a very beautiful young girl came to the bank to wash her clothes under the protection of a group of soldiers from the Ming army. The soldiers of the army stared at the delay, and the Jiannu scouts did not dare to cross the river to snatch people. They just blew slogans on the other side and said obscene words. Said: "Dog slave, if you want to touch your mother, I only have shoes for you! Jump into the river and pick them up!"

"Jump down the river to pick it up!" This sentence was spoken by Jurchen, and the Jiannu scouts on the other side were naturally stunned.The soldier of the Ming army who was protecting the girl also asked curiously, "Miss Sun, what are you talking about?"

"Jiannu's curse words." Sun Zhongyu replied shyly: "My brother and I have been in Liaodong for a long time, and I learned some Jiannu curse words. When I scolded those Jiannu, I made the soldiers laugh." Several soldiers of the Ming army believed it was true. He also said: "Miss Sun, then you can teach us a few more words when you have time, and you can scold Jiannu when you are on the battlefield."

"I don't know how many." Sun Zhongyu blushed, as if he was ashamed of being a lady who swears.A while later, Sun Zhongyu washed his clothes and returned to the camp with the soldiers. The Jiannu scouts on the opposite side knew something was wrong, so they hurriedly jumped into the river and fished out the embroidered shoes that had been washed away by the current. The oily paper bag……………

Two days later, Sun Zhongyu came to this section of the river again to wash his clothes. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers of the Ming army, Sun Zhongyu stretched his little hand under the bluestone that he used as a seat, and he really touched a small oiled paper bag. Sun Zhongyu was ecstatic in his heart. He hurriedly hid the oiled paper bag next to his body until he returned to his small tent in the Ming army camp. Then he opened the oiled paper bag and took out a note. Then he unfolded the note and looked at the content carefully. Sun Zhongyu burst into tears and choked up. He said softly: "Ama, I know you love me, but my biological parents both died tragically on the Horqin Grassland under the knife of the ancient barbarian Zhang Hao. If you want the password, no matter how much the daughter pays, she will find a way to send it to you."

"Miss Sun, Miss Sun." At this moment, Zhang Shitou's familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.Sun Zhongyu—that is, Xiao Yuer, quickly hid the note, walked over to open the tent door, and asked sweetly, "Brother Shitou, what's the matter?"

"This." Zhang Shitou walked into the small tent, lit up the food box in his hand, and said with a smile, "Today, the kitchen cooked a pot of ginseng and hen chicken soup for the young master. The young master is not healthy enough to eat it all, so I will bring you some."

"Thank you, Brother Shitou." Xiao Yuer quickly took it.Zhang Shitou asked again with concern: "Miss Sun, why are your eyes so red? It seems like you have cried. Did someone in the army bully you? Tell me, and I will vent your anger on you."

"No, the soldiers are very good to me." Xiao Yu'er shook her head, then choked up and said, "I just miss my brother and my family, Mr. Zhang still refuses to promise to pardon my brother, and never see you again For my part, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to intercede with my brother in the future."

"It's nothing, the young master is just too weak these days, so I didn't ask you to come over." Zhang Shitou comforted: "Don't worry, when the young master is in a good mood and free, I will definitely mention Miss Sun in front of the young master." I must ask the young master to meet you again."

"If this is really the case, then I must thank Brother Shitou." Xiao Yuer quickly thanked him.I never thought that Zhang Shitou was not only lacking in modesty, but instead looked at Xiao Yuer's exquisite and convex figure, and asked with a mysterious smile: "Miss Sun, it's not enough to just say thank you, the key is—how are you going to thank me?"

"What does this barbarian want to do?" Xiao Yu'er wondered, when she looked carefully at Zhang Shitou's face, she saw a lot of greed and obscenity in Zhang Shitou's eyes looking at her, Xiao Yuer pretended to be shy and said: "Shitou Brother, how do you plan to thank the slave family?"

"This..." As the saying goes, like a young master, there must be a family member. Zhang Shitou, who was known as the first dog in the dog's family in Linqing back then, was not polite, and suddenly grabbed Xiao Yu'er's little hand, kneading and smiling lewdly. Said: "Miss Sun, I think you also know that I can still speak well in front of the young master. If you have my help with your brother's matter, you don't have to worry about it, do you understand?"

"It turns out that this barbarian didn't have good intentions for me." Happiness came so quickly, Xiao Yu'er's heart couldn't help but jump wildly—you know, Zhang Shitou, the number one dog's leg, is also Jiannu's dream of buying and wooing important object!Zhang Shitou's smile became more obscene, he grabbed Xiao Yu'er's hand and kneaded it harder, and added with a lewd smile: "Miss Sun, the young master is not in good health, but my body is still strong. After marrying a daughter-in-law and not seeing her several times a year, now you should know how to thank me...?"
