Chapter 120
Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, and there was no movement in the Jianlu camp until dawn.

Man Gui could clearly see through the binoculars that Jianlu seemed to be detaining detainees in camps. There were hundreds of them in a mighty way.

It is almost unnecessary to guess, this must be those Jian prisoners who escaped yesterday.It's a pity that he didn't kill it.

Man Gui could see the movement of the Jianlu camp, and the guards on the top of the city could also see the movement. Although they couldn't see clearly, they could still guess what Jianlu was doing, and all of them excitedly looked at Jianlu. Lu Daying pointed and laughed at Jianlu, who would also have a day of incompetence.

Even Li Fengxiang, the Admiral of the Beijing Camp who was still sleeping, got up and watched the excitement.When he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but smiled and said to Man Gui: "Hey, they were tied to the camp gate and beaten? Tsk tsk, it's really spectacular to be whipped with leather whips lined up! It's a pity that your majesty is not here , or make His Majesty happy!"

"The Jurchen Tartars have few people, and there are hundreds of them. They really don't have the courage to engage in military law. It is estimated that the beatings are just for show. Otherwise, adding hundreds of wounded soldiers will be enough for Jianlu to feel distressed." Man Gui said. Then he pointed with his finger, "Please look, father-in-law, these Jurchen Tartars who have fled back are all elites, and some of them are even from the Bala soldiers."

Li Fengxiang nodded, then suddenly turned to look at Man Gui and said, "Are you all right last night?"

"Well, it's okay!" Man Gui nodded in response.

Look, our family is like a god!I knew nothing would happen.Li Fengxiang thought in his heart, seeing the situation outside the city now, he can be sure that Jianlu has no morale to continue attacking.It's just that the emperor taught him a lesson, so he didn't laugh at Man Gui's timidity, but asked Man Gui: "Our family will enter the palace in a while, what happened to what your Majesty asked last night?"

"Please return to Your Majesty, Eunuch. The general believes that even if the Jianlu had cannons, there would be no gunners to use them; even if there were gunners, the range and power of the general's cannons would not be as powerful as the Hongyi cannons at the top of the city. Ruojian If the captives really came to attack the capital with cannons, they will be able to defend the capital in the end." Man Gui had a serious face, as if the emperor was right in front of him, turned to face Li Fengxiang, clasped his fists, and said respectfully.

Li Fengxiang nodded and went back to the Forbidden City.

Man Gui observed for a while longer, and found that there seemed to be a lot less Jianlu visiting horses. The signs in Jianlu's camp showed that Jianlu really didn't have the will to attack the city, which was a bit abnormal.Could it be that Jianlu really had no intention of attacking the city because of the defeat of Changli, and was planning to withdraw?

With doubts, he asked the confidant on duty to watch the movement of the Jianlu camp, while he went to rest for a while.

At the same time, in Tongzhou, the governor, who had a good night's sleep, was sitting in the lobby refreshed and interpreting the scriptures. He looked at the soldiers of King Qin and asked: "Is there any further news about what happened yesterday?"

Hei Yunlong looked at his colleagues around him, stepped forward and clasped his fists in response: "If you go back to Zhongcheng, Ye Bushuo has been sent to investigate, but there is no news yet..."

When he said this, his brows frowned, and he quickly added: "However, the general found out early this morning that it seems that Jianlu's visits to horses have decreased a lot, and the reason remains to be investigated!"

"Well, as soon as there is news, report it to the official!" Xiejing Chuan didn't know if he saw Jianlu's panic yesterday, and his voice seemed a little louder.

When the general soldiers below were about to answer, suddenly there was commotion outside, which seemed to be relatively large, and there seemed to be cheers faintly.

Hearing the biography of the scriptures, I felt unhappy. Could it be that the common people are making trouble again?

In order to rush to transport food before, many people died outside the city, and then some were crushed to death under the city.Some people in the city had made a fuss about this before, which made Xie Jingzhuan very unhappy.

In fact, if this kind of thing is just a nuisance, he is not afraid.It's just that he didn't expect that many gentry's domestic slaves in the city also died in the city, which surprised him a little.

For this reason, he was very slandered in his heart, how could those families still lack this little food, and even sent their slaves to rob it!
The biography of the scriptures is afraid that these gentry have connections in the court. If they bring a message to the official censor and are attacked by political enemies, this kind of thing will be said to have harmed the people. It is really true whether they can escape without incident Hard to say.

Because of this, he was really a bit troubled by the riots of the people in the city, so he kept avoiding them, and asked the magistrate of Tongzhou to come forward to appease him, promising to compensate money and food.

Only this time, he guessed wrong.The noise quickly spread from far to near, and the voice could be faintly heard: "Great victory in Changli, three thousand captives, three thousand prisoners; great victory in Changli..."

In the lobby, no matter whether it was the scripture interpretation or the army chiefs from all walks of life, although they heard the voice clearly, they all looked disbelieving, suspicious that they had heard it wrong.

How could it be possible to capture three thousand captives and kill three thousand captives?Who is lying about the military situation?
Soon, the envoys sent by Sun Chengzong, led by General Ma Dengyun, who was on duty at the head of the city, broke into the hall.Amidst the sound of astonishment, the messenger held his head high and announced in a loud voice: "Under the order of Elder Ge, I will announce the great victory of Changli to every city. This is the battle report of Changli. Please take a look at it, Mr. Zhongcheng!"

Under the current circumstances, Changli actually achieved a great victory. This news was earth-shattering, and made Xie Jingzhuan unable to sit still. He even couldn't wait for his subordinates to forward it to him. He stood up and read the battle report in the middle of the journey.And those general soldiers whispered to each other, with incredible expressions on their faces.

The result of this battle is too great, they really can't believe it, but this is the good news passed by the old man from all over the place, and it is obviously going to be delivered to the imperial court of the capital. If too much water is poured, the official censor is not a vegetarian.

In an atmosphere of doubt, speculation, excitement, and disbelief, the battle report was circulated in the hands of everyone in the lobby.If it wasn't for the seal of Mr. Ge, if it wasn't for the hard-to-forge results of those battles, based on the description of the battle, they would be a hundred thousand people who would not believe it!
Hehe, Changli is only a small county. Seven thousand Jian captives attacked for two days, but they didn't break the city. Is it possible?

Also, a civil official, a magistrate who was born as a Jinshi, was able to lead a group of improvised civilians to fight in and out of the Jianlu army, and fought against Jianlu in field battles without defeat. Who can say that this bragging is true Didn't it blow into the sky?
However, these are facts, as stated in the battle report.The senior bureaucrats and generals of Tongzhou in the lobby suddenly came to a common understanding that, in fact, Jianlu was nothing more than that!

While everyone was envious of the great victory in Changli, Xie Jingzhuan also became excited, and ordered loudly that no one would be sent at night to investigate the situation of Jian captives.

Almost all the cities that received the great victory in Changli were like Tongzhou, and their morale suddenly rose.

 Thank you Qingyingdenglei for your reward!
