    Huang Shi spread out a map on horseback and explained to several foreign generals the situation they would face. "From the capital to Zunhua, Jiannu needs to walk about two hundred and seventy miles along the road. This time they  They robbed a large number of people, money, food and property. I guess they couldn't move too fast, at most fifteen miles a day, so it would take fifteen to twenty days to reach Zunhua. In other words, they started to retreat even three days ago.  , it will take ten days for their main force to arrive in Zunhua." "After Huang Taiji's invasion, the average daily march of the main force of the Hou Jin Army was fourteen miles, which was their march speed before they started to plunder. Think about it now  There is only reason to go slower, not faster, and this invasion has lasted for dozens of days. Huangshi estimates that the horses of the Jin Army have begun to lose weight after repeated battles, and the main force's emergency march cannot be too fast. General Huangshi  He moved his finger to the left and pointed at Yongping, where he is now, and then slid along the official road to Zunhua. He raised his head and looked at several foreign generals around him: "Gentlemen, we are one hundred and sixty miles away.  We have to leave. After passing Yongping, we will enter the area controlled by the Jiannu. We need to conquer the fortress occupied by the Jiannu, ensure the logistics line, and deal with the constant harassment by the Jiannu. But we must arrive within five days.  Santun Camp, attack Zunhua before the main force of the Jiannu Army returns, and block the retreat route of the Jiannu Land." "The Marshal said so." "We received reports a few days ago that the Jiannu Land troops are heading towards Qian'an from the direction of Xifengkou.  It seems that they want to attack Yongping. There is no doubt that for the safety of the main force of their brigade, Jiannu will definitely expand their flanks and rear depth as much as possible. This force will probably number one or two thousand. I need  A fierce force will repel them for me." Huangshi does not plan to dispatch his direct troops prematurely. He intends to keep his troops accumulating strength and maintaining their organization as the final strategic reserve until the most critical moment.  "Marshal, I am willing to be a pioneer." "Marshal, I am willing to fly to support Yongping." "Marshal, I am willing to make meritorious service." Huang Shi looked at several people who made impassioned speeches, and finally  His eyes were fixed on Yao Yuxian: "Let General Yao go." After saying that, Huang Shi took out a command arrow and handed it to Yao Yuxian, and then warned: "General Yao, the soldier is the god, I don't care about General Yao.  Whatever method we use, we must rush to Yongping as soon as possible and push as far as possible towards Qian'an to regain the official road so as not to delay the army's journey." "Marshal, don't worry, the general will not sleep tonight. I will urge the army and horses.  Get on the road." "Okay, with General Yao's words, I can rest easy tonight." Yao Yuxian left happily after receiving the command arrow. Huang Shi smiled at the other two reluctant people and said: "  General Jin and General Zu, I still have important tasks to be entrusted to you two.¡± After hearing this, Jin Guan and Zu Dashou both cheered up and quickly raised their hands and said, ¡°Although the marshal gives orders, I will never refuse.¡± ¡°  General Yao rushed to Yongping at night. He will definitely rest tomorrow afternoon, so I still need a general to attack Qian'an, and at the same time, he also needs a divine Taibao. He will cross Qian'an non-stop and head towards the Santun Camp.  Find out the enemy's situation for me." Huangshi is now able to control the entire Ming army, so he does not plan to force the two battalions of his direct line to march, but wants to use other Ming armies to share the worries for himself. And these Ming army generals  They were all very willing to be appointed by Huangshi. Now what Jin Guan was thinking about was not the issue of victory or defeat, but how much credit he could get from it. He immediately called for help: "Marshal, tomorrow morning. The first watch will make rice, the second watch will go out, and then all the way."  March quickly to Qian'an, and be appointed as the marshal to take this city." Although the ogre ancestor Dashou knew that sweeping the Santun camp was a much more dangerous task, he knew the relationship between Yao Yuxian and Jin Guan and Huangshi.  Unusually, if he wants to not suffer in sharing the work, he must pick an important task in order to leave a good impression on Huangshi. Therefore, after hearing Jin Guan's request to attack Qian'an City, the ogre also felt that it was peaceful.  The abacus in his mind coincided, so he said with emotion: "Marshal, this is not the last general's boast, but in terms of the speed of the rapid march, if my ancestor claimed to be second, then no one among the 100,000 Guan Ning troops would dare to claim to be first!  If the marshal does not give up, the general will be willing to go out at dawn. He will lead all the cavalry battalions in Liao Town to the Santun camp and serve as the marshal's vanguard." Of course Huang Shi knew that the flying general Zu Dashou was not boasting. He would not run, but once he started running, he would definitely do it.  It was faster than Ben Lei. Huang Shi felt relieved when he saw him volunteering: "That's very good, then it will be a burden to the two generals." "The marshal's words are serious, and the generals will not dare to take them seriously." Huang Shi encouraged him a few words, and then he was done.  He took them to have dinner together. Huang Shi had already requested that Jin Qiude, Yang Zhiyuan, He Dingyuan and others be transferred to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as co-presidents. It is estimated that the emperor would not refute this memorial. Naturally, these people also came to have dinner with them.  , Jin Guan and Zu Dashou were both envious and jealous of these confidants in Huangshidi. At the dinner, several senior officers were chatting and laughing happily. While several people were eating, the guard outside the door reported that someone was asking to see them.After opening the tent, a general walked in quickly with a smile on his face. He nodded and bowed to Huang Shi and said, "Marshal, the last general is Hu Yining. Does the marshal still remember the last general?" "How could you not?"  Remember Brother Hu." Huang Shi quickly got up and left the dining table to greet Hu Yining. Hearing that Hu Yining, who was so busy with the world, had not eaten yet, Huang Shi hurriedly asked someone to add a chair, and then pulled him to sit down. Hu Yining was humble and pleased.  He sat down next to Zu Dashou. Hu Yining was originally the deputy general of Qiantun. When he heard that Huangshi had landed at Shanhaiguan, he hurriedly packed his bags and sent out troops immediately. Four days ago, he swore an oath at Qiantun and entered the customs as King Qin. Hu Yining found out after arriving at Shanhaiguan.  Huangshi had already led his army to leave, so he quickly continued southward, but when he arrived at Changli, he found that Huangshi had left again. Vice General Hu simply abandoned the infantry and baggage and ran along the official road. After arriving in Luanzhou, Hu Yining heard that Huangshi had just passed by, so he ignored him  The horse's life and death, with the servants chasing after him, did not even bother to eat. After running all the way, they finally caught up with Huangshi's large army: "I heard that the emperor issued an edict, and the general hurriedly entered Guan Qinwang  , Hu is mediocre, and I don¡¯t know if I can share the marshal¡¯s worries.¡± Huang Shi smiled and said: ¡°General Hu can come to help. I am just adding more wings to a tiger.¡± After saying that, he and everyone toasted to Hu Yining. Deputy General Hu is not the only one.  He refused, and drank five bowls of water and wine boldly before sitting down to eat. He had not eaten for a whole day and night, and he was so hungry that stars appeared in front of his eyes.  direction, Funing's army had a full night's rest. After dawn, he and the flying general Zu Dashou led the army to attack. He expected to catch up with Jin Guan in the afternoon. If Jin Guan had already conquered Qian'an by that time, Zu Dashou could let go.  The horse galloped towards the Santun Camp. They just started eating breakfast, and the officers and soldiers were all taking their time. Huangshi did not force the troops to go out impatiently. The area around here was full of mountains. Huangshi planned to move his troops slowly to avoid  Waste of energy, while constantly sending out exploration horses to maintain contact with the frontline troops. ¡­ In the north of Yongping City, a group of Manchu and Mongolian mixed troops came slowly along the official road in the early morning light. Among them were only more than a hundred Jinman soldiers.  The more than a thousand people in the remaining area are newly joined Mongolian herdsmen. Now Huang Taiji is still distributing food in Duoyan's area to attract Mongolian herdsmen and small tribes, and then organize them into troops to join the war. Come to Yongping  This army was invincible all the way. Although they had no siege weapons, dozens or hundreds of small resistance forces on the border could not stop them. Most of the Ming army abandoned the city and fled. The famous general Qi Jiguang carefully built the  In this area of ??Ji Town, complex warning and defense systems have been established along various dangerous points. However, if there is no one to defend them, no matter how strong the castle is, there is no point. This Houjin army has destroyed a large number of areas around the border wall.  The fortifications have not encountered strong resistance from the Ming army so far. This situation has reassured the newly joined Mongolian herdsmen. Originally, when Hou Jin propagated to them that the Ming army would flee, these herdsmen were still somewhat doubtful. Now they  They have been fighting in the Pass for more than ten days. The Ming army in front often left intact fortresses and warehouses to them, and even the backs of the Ming army were rarely seen. So when they finally marched towards Yongping, what was the appearance of this army?  The morale was very high. They all wore armor discarded by the Ming army. The one hundred soldiers were even more proud and boasted to the newly affiliated allied forces: "Right, we didn't lie. Once we enter the pass, these good things will  Aren¡¯t we allowed to move as we please?  " "Shh!  ¡± After Jin Niulu, the queen of the front, heard the report from the expedition, he suddenly ordered everyone to quiet down. Hundreds of Ming troops appeared on a hillside in front. It seemed that they were planning to fight to the death. Niu Lu asked everyone to speed up and move forward. Soon  The Ming army appeared in front of them. Hou Jinniulu squinted at the flag on the opposite side and let out a contemptuous snort: "Guan Ning's army from the Ming Dynasty. Do they dare to leave the city?"  " After Niu Lu walked closer, he felt a little confused by the attitude of the general on the opposite side. It seemed that the other side was planning a battle. "When did Guan Ningjun become so courageous?  Hou Jinniu Lu felt very strange. He looked closely at the flag again: "Yes, it is the flag of Shanhaiguan." Yao Yuxian sat on a horse with a golden sword, his left hand twirling his beard, and his right hand  Holding a bowl of water and wine, he didn't even look at the approaching Hou Jin army in front of him. He just lowered his head and drank. He waited until the Hou Jin army lined up on the opposite side, and Yao and Xiancai suddenly raised their heads.  He poured a full bowl of wine into his stomach. After drinking, Yao Yuxian slammed the bowl down and suddenly stood up. The red cloak and red scarf around his neck began to flutter in the wind. Yao Yuxian  Holding his left hand on the waist knife, his right arm suddenly stretched forward and pointed at the opposite ground. Jin Jun shouted angrily: "Jian Nu, are you here to die?  ¡± With this majestic roar, heavy footsteps sounded from behind Yao Yuxian. Thousands of Ming troops who had been traveling all night ended their pre-battle rest and marched out in a majestic way.In a short time, the Houjin Army saw thousands of soldiers emerging from the woods on both sides of the mountain ridge and directly in front. The armor scales on their bodies and countless weapons with white blades were shining under the sunlight.  Exuding a cold light, these Ming soldiers stared at the enemy in front of them, as if they were looking at a group of walking silver coins. "Kill!" "Kill the slaves!" Following the majestic shouts, countless people joined in.  Running quickly, the big horse trembled slightly. The foot of the mountain in front of Yao Yuxian was soon filled with the sound of fighting and the sound of fighting. Yao Zongbing looked at the situation for a while, then suddenly pulled the reins of the war horse and got on the horse.  , fiercely pulled the sword out of its scabbard, and with his own troops, he rushed down the mountain: "Chase, don't let the Tatars escape!"  At noon, the Golden Crown troops caught up with them and were cleaning the battlefield.  "Old Jin, I will kill three hundred!" Yao Yuxian shouted loudly at the golden crown on the horse, and the golden crown also responded loudly: "I know, don't forget the marshal's order." "I know,  Don't forget, be careful along the way!" Huang Shi had told Yao Yuxian before he left that his next main task was to block the border wall around the Qinglong River to prevent enemy troops from infiltrating and protect the Ming army's communication lines from harassment.  Yao Yuxian has already made a corresponding plan for this. He will soon lead the army northward and regain control of the border wall east of Lengkou. "Don't worry, I know what I know." Jin Guan shouted in the north wind, leading  The headquarters troops rushed towards Qian'an non-stop. In the morning, the new Mongolian auxiliary troops were already discouraged after the First World War. Some timid people fled directly to Xifengkou without even entering the city. There are also some bold plans to see later  After hearing the news, they felt that they had not grabbed enough. But before these people could take a breath, Jin Guan followed them to the foot of Qian'an City. After arriving in Qian'an in the afternoon, Jin Guan didn't even bother to drink water. He immediately organized  Siege the city. Seeing the ferocious momentum of this group of Ming troops, the defenders began to build ladders as soon as they arrived at the city. They also noticed that this group of Ming troops was under a different banner and was obviously not the same thing as the group in the morning. There were originally other people in the city.  There are thousands of Jin troops, but at least 80% of them are Mongolians. The Ming army is obviously not easy to mess with at first glance, and the number of people is unexpected. The batch in the morning was about 3,000, and this batch is another 3,000.  There are many, and I don¡¯t know how many more there will be in the future. These Mongolians were originally just scattered households. They were less organized and disciplined than the group that accompanied Huang Taiji into the customs at the beginning and attacked Beijing. The reason why they entered the customs was because they had bad intentions.  With a flattering attitude, they will naturally not grab anything if they have it, but it is absolutely impossible for them to fight for the sake of Huang Taiji and the Hou Jin regime with Ming officers and soldiers who are ten times or even dozens of times more powerful. The result is that  Before Jin Guan built the ladder, a group of Mongolians escaped through the north gate. As soon as this opening was opened, most of the Mongolians in the city immediately ran away. Jin Guan was mature and prudent. He couldn't see what was going on for a while, so he didn't send any troops.  People went to grab the door. After Jin Guan finally figured out the cause and effect, the city was full of soldiers and closed the city gate again. This really made Jin Guan so angry that he stamped his feet. But at this time Jin Guan also got good news, and dozens of Mongolians went out.  Later, they did not escape to Xifengkou. They felt that since they had entered the customs, they could not come here in vain. Why should they earn some money for their wives and children back home. So these Mongolians came to the Ming army camp and asked Jin Guan  Are they willing to hire them to work for the Ming army and serve as scouts for a few days? Each of them wants ten taels of silver as a reward. Jin Guan bargained with them and finally settled the deal with five taels of silver each. He also gave the leader a Tartar official land.  Identity. After the transaction, these wage earners took off their gold uniforms, put on Ming army uniforms and became "Ming army scouts". However, before they went to investigate the surrounding areas, they also told Jin Guan everything about what was going on in the city.  After there were only more than 300 people, Jin Guan ordered more than 3,000 Ming troops to besiege on all sides to ensure that the defenders were overwhelmed. However, the efficiency of the siege of the city was still low. The Ming army tried to attack the tower from the city wall several times, but they were all blocked.  After guarding the city tower, Jin soldiers defeated him. The city gate could not be opened for a long time, which made Jin Guan scratch his head and scratch his head anxiously. "Father, General Zu is already ten miles away." Jin Shiqi walked to Jin Guan and reported the news in a low voice, although  Huang Shi said that it didn't matter if he couldn't open official roads and supply lines in one day, but Jin Guan was eager to make a contribution in front of Huang Shi, so he must capture Qian'an as quickly as possible. "Well, I got it." Jin Guan reached out and grabbed it.  His beloved Qinglong Yanyue Sword made a huge slash in the air with a loud shout, and then strode towards Qian'an City. "Father, father." Jin Shiqi quickly went to pull the golden crown, but was grabbed by his father.  Pushing away: "Boy, whether I can join the general army in this life depends on what I do today." The brave Jin Guan was the first to board the Qian'an city tower. In front of more than 3,000 Ming troops, Vice General Jin  Standing on the edge of the city wall, he waved his sword risking his life and started a fierce fight with the Hou Jin soldiers. Jin Guan personally took the lead in climbing the city, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Ming army. He livedUsing a broadsword to open a tiny gap, his son, servants, and the Ming army behind him climbed up from this gap one after another. After Qian'an, the Jin army's death struggle was finally crushed. At the Qian'an gate, one by one was captured  After opening it, the sound of thousands of horses galloping could be heard in the distance. The cavalry column that could not be seen to the end had begun to rush in. The general with thick eyebrows and beards on his face was exactly  The flying general, the ogre, and the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, Zu Dashou, saw him hunched tightly on his horse and rushed into the south gate of Qian'an City first. Amidst the cheers of thousands of Ming troops on the top of the city, Zu Dashou  The flying general and the cavalry behind him made the sound of horse hooves like raindrops, and rushed through the center of Qian'an Fort without stopping for a moment. They went straight out to the north gate and galloped away. The golden crown on the tower shouted to Zu Dashou: "  General Zu, be careful all the way." When he shouted these words, General Zu Fei was running towards Jin Guan, but just halfway through his words, General Zu Fei had already rushed through the doorway at the foot of Jin Guan, and Jin Guan hurriedly turned around and looked outside the city.  Go and send the last few words towards Zu Dashou¡¯s back. General Zu Fei¡¯s response was also sent back from a distance by the north wind: ¡°The merit of this gathering to annihilate Jiannu must be my Zu Dashou!  " Jin Guan looked at Zu Dashou who was leaving the dust, and burst out laughing. A large group of Guan Ning's cavalry were rolling out of the city gate at his feet. Just as Jin Guan turned around, the wound on his shoulder opened.  Jin Shiqi quickly ran over to bandage his father's wound. "Okay, let others do this kind of thing," Jin Guan called a soldier from behind. When the soldier tied a bandage for him, Jin Guan shouted to his son again:  "Hurry to the marshal and show victory to the marshal as soon as possible!" "Yes, it's father." Jin Shiqi agreed in a low voice, turned around and started to leave. "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet." Jin Guan grabbed him.  His son asked, "What should I say when I see the marshal?" "Of course, my father will be the first to arrive at the city" "Confused!" Jin Shiqi was interrupted by Jin Guan before he could finish his sentence.  : "You're confused, of course you were the first to take charge of the city and then moved to An'an." "Well, how can my son" Jin Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Jin Guan meant, but he was still a little unwilling to take the credit from his father.  "Alas, you are already so old that you don't need too much military merit, but you must leave a good impression on the marshal." Although the generals of the fourth rank and above have no right to appoint military commanders on their own, the Governor's Office  , but only if Huangshi puts forward a list of personnel, can the Director of Ceremonies be crowned with glory. Besides, the achievements of specific personnel are not all reported to the Supervisor of Ceremonies by the governor. Jin Guan grabbed his beloved Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and it was at the most critical moment.  Sometimes - such as when being chased by the Hou Jin Army and running around Ningyuan City. Jin Guan did not drop it. Now Jin Guan solemnly handed the blood-stained sword to his son's hand: "Nuo, you just take it."  When it captures Qian'an, you can take it to see the marshal. During the last battle in Juehua, you used it to chop down a Jiannu who was fighting the marshal. The marshal is very nostalgic, and his rewards and punishments are the fairest.  , I think as soon as he sees this sword, he will mark it as a great achievement for you." Jin Shiqi took the sword from his father with both hands, and Jin Guan continued to give instructions: "Remember to see a guerrilla from the Funing Army named Ouyang Xin.  He is a popular person in front of the marshal. Yesterday I found out that he has not yet engaged a wife, so I immediately made the decision to betroth your sister to him. Don't forget to go out and make friends this time. Remember!  If you want to be promoted and make meritorious service in this life, you must hug the marshal¡¯s thick legs tightly.¡± ¡­ On the second day of the new year, Huangshi¡¯s troops crossed Qian¡¯an, and Jin Guan had already sent the main force north to block the northern section of Lengkou. Jin Guan¡¯s troops  Huang Shi was very satisfied with the result, so he left his son Jin Shiqi with him and followed him towards the Santun Camp. Not long after crossing Qian'an, a group of cavalry came from behind and chased after them. The inner guards asked about the situation and rushed forward.  Come and report to Huang Shi: "Marshal, Zhang Guoqing, the general of Ning Yuan, has been ordered to join Guan Qinwang. He asked to be controlled by the marshal." "Okay, let him follow the army." Huang Shi also has an impression of this man. Last time he was with Jin Guan.  One of the two brothers who were chased by the Houjin cavalry and circled around Ningyuan Fort. After Zhang Guoqing let the troops join the team, he hurriedly came up and approached Huang Shitao: "Marshal, after the general heard that the marshal had boarded 6 in Shanhaiguan, he hurriedly ordered  We have mobilized our troops to serve in front of the Marshal's army." "General Zhang is so righteous, I am deeply moved by this." Zhang Guoqing smiled broadly, leaned over and said, "The Marshal has killed the last general." Huang Shihe  Zhang Guoqing hadn't seen each other for a long time, so the two chatted about what they had seen after they parted. After talking for a while, the inner guard from behind rushed over again and loudly reported to Huang Shi: "Marshal, Juehua Councilor Wu Yu has been ordered to join King Guan Qin.  He has arrived behind our army's formation." "Let him come." "Yes!  " After Wu Yu, Zhang Guoqing's fellow sufferer from the last battle, arrived, he hurriedly confessed to Huang Shi: "When the general heard that the marshal was ascending to the mountains and seas, he decided to follow the marshal and his horse and go to the capital together with the king. However, Juehua cut the ice, so he could not get ashore for a while, so it was delayed until today." After the first battle of Juehua, every time he arrived,  Wu Yu was digging ice like crazy in winter, so this time he received the news and set out a little later than Zhang Guoqing. After hearing this, Huang Shi laughed and said: "Ice digging is a perfect strategy. General Wu is really a general."  .¡± ¡°The marshal¡¯s false praise will make me feel ashamed.¡± On the afternoon of the second day of the lunar month, the inner guards came again and reported: ¡°Commander, the guerrilla attack on Changshan Island is still justified. The marshal¡¯s troops came to King Qin and asked the marshal to exercise restraint.¡± ¡°  Let him follow." "As you command. " "Marshal, Kashima Guerrilla Shang Kexi led his troops to come to King Qin, and came here to request to be controlled by the marshal." "Let him come in." "As you command." After Huangshi set off for Shanhaiguan.  , the news of his arrival in Dengzhou reached the ears of the Shang brothers. They all sent people to Dengzhou to investigate. After confirming that Huangshi had gone to Queen Qin of Tianjin, they hurriedly led their elite troops to Tianjin. They arrived in Dagu, Tianjin.  After entering the mouth, they saw the news in Tianjin Wei that the emperor ordered Huangshi to open the governor's palace. The brothers hurried to Shanhaiguan. They turned north in Huizhou and inquired all the way to follow the footsteps of Huangshi.  It was not until the brothers met here in Huangshi that they learned that each other had sent envoys to inform each other. It is estimated that their envoys are still running around on the road, and they are both laughing. On the third day of December in the second year of Chongzhen, Huangshi's troops were still there  Continuously expanding, a large number of well-known and unknown generals from Laiden Town, Liao Town, Ji Town, and Dongjiang Town came to Huangshi with their servants to serve the king. "Marshal, the deputy general of Guanglu Island, Mao Chenglu, and his troops came to serve the king."?¡­  ¡­ ¡°Marshal, Lushun guerrilla Kong Youde, garrison brother Geng Zhongming, and generals are coming to King Qin.¡± Along with Kong Youde and others, there are also the coastal defense guerrillas from Leiden Town and several generals. Now among the Huangshi team, only the generals from various armies are stationed there.  There are more than a dozen of them, and the elite soldiers they brought with them also include more than 2,000 cavalry. And the number is still increasing. Among the few confidant officers brought by Kong Youde this time, there are also Ji Tuisi, Xiao Bailang and others.  These people were extremely excited after seeing Huangshi. When they heard that Huangshi had killed the slave chief, they all praised Huangshi for keeping his word. After Mao Wenlong's death, the Shang brothers, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming all restored their original surnames. Huangshi  At this time, when he saw brothers Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming coming, he jumped off his horse and clasped his fists at Kong Youde and said, "Brother, long time no see." Huang Shi's move shocked the surrounding generals. Kong Youde was also taken aback, and he quickly bowed deeply in return: "Marshal, it's been a long time."  How dare the general be called marshal in the army." Although Kong Youde still honestly called Huang Shi marshal, when he said this, everyone understood that this man must have a very unusual relationship with Huang Shi, and there was something behind Kong Youde.  Geng Zhongming was even more smug. "Why can't you bear it, brother? We haven't reached the battlefield yet." Huang Shi smiled and told everyone about the scene when he and Kong Youde met. At that time, Kong Youde was a refugee protector and combatant.  Kong Youde, a violent and patriotic general, was regarded as a confidant by Huang Shi because of his actions. "Without the eldest brother, the younger brother would have died on the road long ago. How could we have achieved what we have today." Huang Shi told everyone two stories without reservation.  The hardships along the way, and the old story of being beaten to a pulp by Kong Youde: "It was Brother Kong's teachings that gave me a glimpse of the way to be a general. Eight years ago, we talked all night long, as if it was yesterday."  Everyone sighed, and after a burst of excitement on Kong Youde's face, he suddenly sighed: "Not to mention the bravery of the good man, my brother's current military skills, strategies, and martial arts achievements are beyond the reach of my foolish brother in this life." "Today I will conspire with my eldest brother.  drunk!  "Although there is a big gap in status between the two now, since Kong Youde has changed his name back to his original name, Huang Shi can revisit the sworn friendship between the two. Since they parted ways in Dongjiang, the two have not used this title for seven years.  , then Huang Shi smiled again and said: "But when it comes to the battlefield, I will still treat everyone equally." "Of course, brother Yu knows it well." Kong Youde was filled with emotion when he saw that Huang Shi had not forgotten the scene of the two sharing the same hardship after so many years.  Completely unaware that Huang Shi said this, he meant a lot. At this time, Huang Shi was also secretly glad that Kong Youde's history had finally changed, and he no longer had to meet him on the battlefield. At the banquet, Kong Youde appeared as the deputy general of Qiantun.  Hu Yining and he had a good temperament. After a few glasses of wine, the two of them became familiar with each other: "I wonder if Brother Kong has any children?  " Kong Youde laughed and said: "A certain family is so poor that they can't even afford a wife. How can they have children?" Hu Yining was taken aback and quickly asked: "Brother Kong is a Dongjiang guerrilla, how come he can't even afford a wife?" "Kong Youde"  He laughed dryly a few more times. Due to poverty in Dongjiang Town, the officers had no salary, so Kong Youde had been??Married a family, in the original local history, he and Geng Zhongming and others' wives were snatched away during the Dengzhou Rebellion. "I have a daughter, a legitimate daughter, who is only 28 years old. She has not yet been given birth to a maid, so she can be regarded as the daughter of a general.  Well, I wonder if she is lucky enough to be ranked as high as General Kong? "Hu Yining and Kong Youde are about the same age, but they have sons and daughters. He immediately said that the daughter he wanted to betrothed to Kong Youde's son was given to Kong Youde. Kong Youde was overjoyed.  But he didn't even dare to go up. This Hu Yining was already the deputy general of Liao Town, a hereditary general from a rich family. It was natural that he was so virtuous and high-ranking that he could take a fancy to a poor man like himself. ¡­ On the third day of December, in the early morning, a soldier rushed over quickly.  The ogre ancestor Dashou handed over a document with both hands: "Sir, the marshal has something urgent." In this letter, Huang Shi asked where the forward had gone. How far is it from the Santun camp? Zu Fei will squint.  He read the letter in his hand, then twirled his beard and turned to look at the city at his feet. He shook his head and said, "Reporting to the marshal, Zu is already standing on the tower of the Santun camp, waiting for the marshal's army." On the fifth day of the lunar month, Santun.  Outside the camp, General Zu Fei led 9,000 Guan Ning cavalry several miles out of the city to meet Huangshi's Chinese army. Huangshi led the way to General Zu Fei. He jumped off his horse and laughed and said, "General Zu is really a flying general. He has been galloping for two days."  Nearly two hundred miles. I went down to three camps in one day. I should take credit for it!¡±  One person said to Huang Shi: "This time I will be able to go to Zunhua City only because of the help of this strong man." "Oh?" Huang Shi turned around to look at the stranger and asked with interest: "What is this strong man's name?"  Who is your name and what your merits are? Tell me quickly and let me know." After hearing Huang Shi's words, the man immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times before he said respectfully: "The sinner Liu Xingzhi, kowtow to the marshal."  During this invasion, Liu Xingzhi belonged to the second wave of mobilization troops in the rear, responsible for transporting the plundered people and materials out of the customs, and organizing scattered Mongolian herdsmen into troops. He was already a member of the Zhenghong Banner of Manchuria in the Later Jin Dynasty, but  After hearing that Huangshi personally supervised the army, Liu Xingzhi's mind became active again. A few days ago, the Mongols in the direction of Qian'an began to flee back, indicating that the army launched a massive counterattack. Liu Xingzhi determined in his heart that this must be the direction of Huangshi's main attack, so he made his own decision.  He called the police in the direction of Zunhua, and after Zu Fei rushed the soldiers and horses outside Santun Camp, Liu Xingzhi led his cronies to attack and injure people, and opened the gate of Santun Camp for the Ming army. There were only 200 soldiers in the city.  , Liu Xingzhi still brought dozens of soldiers. Anyway, while the remaining Mongolians were panicking, General Zu Fei had already brought nine thousand Guanning cavalry and killed them. The Santun camp changed hands. "Oh, so you are Liu Xingzhi,  Please get up quickly." Huang Shi laughed and helped Liu Xingzhi up. Now there are groups of big traitors around him. In addition to Zu Dashou, there are several people from Guan Ning who will join the flag in the future.  The land, and the Sanshun kings were all here, one more Liu Xingzhi was not too much, and one less him was not too little. Huangshi immediately appointed Liu Xingzhi as a guerrilla at Xifengkou, and asked him to go out immediately to try to seal the east side of Xifengkou  At the same time, he was given the right to attack on his own initiative, allowing him to cross the border wall and invade Duoyan's area: "The Mongols of Karaqin and Yang helped build slaves, and they should be attacked. General Liu can act expediently and not start provocations without authorization.  " "Yes, Marshal." More than 800 Mongolians in the Santun camp surrendered to the Ming army. Liu Xingzhi persuaded Zu Dashou not to kill people. Now he wants to incorporate these surrendered soldiers into his own troops. "If Hong can be retained this time,  Tai, I will definitely recommend you as a participating general, just as I promised you before, it will be easy to do." "Marshal is so kind. The last general will be deeply grateful." That night, Huangshi ordered to celebrate Zu's birthday and at the same time let the troops start setting up camp.  After resting, Zu Dashou got in touch with He Dingyuan that night, and He Dingyuan hired Zu Dashou¡¯s youngest daughter for his son. Not only He Dingyuan, but other celebrities around Huang Shi also became foreign generals.  Focusing on the target, the only thing that makes Huang Shi happy is that no one has come to take advantage of his daughter yet. On the sixth day of the lunar month, Liu Xingzhi had only left for a day, and he came back with his brother Liu Xingzuo. The latter fell down as soon as he entered the tent.  On the above: "The sinner Liu Xingzuo, knocking on the marshal's door, is a capital crime, a capital crime." "Please get up." Huang Shi said casually while sitting in his seat. If this Liu Xingzuo did not bring any great achievements, Huang Shi felt that he did not need to be too polite to him.  Angry. "Marshal Xie." After Liu Xingzuo stood up, his brother went out and dragged in two tied-up women from the outside. He pushed hard and pushed the two women to the ground. Liu Xingzuo pointed at the sluggish  The two women on the ground said: "Marshal, these are the two little wives of the slave chief Hong Tai. They are a pair of daughters of the Horqin Mongolian leader." Liu Xingzhi immediately pounced on the two women, grabbed their heads and beat them.  The ground's face was raised to show Huang Shi"This earth is called Hai Lanzhu, and this little one is called Dayu'er." Huang Shi looked at the sisters for a few times and nodded: "Liu Xingzuo, you have made a great contribution, let them go." Liu Xingzuo let go,  A pair of Horqin Mongolian sisters collapsed on the bed again. Their mouths were tied with a rope, so they could only hear thin whimpering sounds. According to Liu Xingzuo, Huang Taiji also brought this with him when he invaded this time.  They were sisters, but Emperor Taiji had ordered the entire army to retreat a few days ago. He insisted that the large army leave first, so he had the sisters sent out of the customs first. Liu Xingzuo was in charge of logistics and transportation in the Karaqin Mongolian land, etc.  When they left the customs, Liu Xingzuo happened to hear that the Ming army had arrived outside the Santun camp, so he made a determined decision and led his men to kill several escorts, kidnapped the sisters and ran back. He planned to go with his brother Liu Xingzhi anyway. Liu Xingzuo and his few  Ten of his men climbed over the border wall east of Xifengkou, and after entering, they went straight to the Santun camp. They happened to meet his younger brother Liu Xingzhi. "Marshal, the slave chief Hongtai has heard that the marshal has returned to the capital, and the elite slaves are working day and night.  They rushed back at the same time, planning to defend Zunhua and Xifengkou to cover the exit of the large group. It will only take a day or two for them to arrive in Zunhua." "So soon?" "Yes, I heard that Mrs. Hong only stayed behind.  He left a few people to defend the rear group, while the main force abandoned the main group and returned to the division. He also asked the troops in the Karaqin Mongolia to prepare to form an army to enter the pass to help defend Zunhua and Xifengkou. "If the main force is abandoned, the main force will return to the division.  Regardless, the distance that combat troops can travel in a day should be more than fifty miles, but Liu Xingzuo told Huangshi that there were not so many supplies along the way, and it was impossible for those horse teams to carry out continuous long-distance marches. Liu Xingzuo has been working on the plate of Harqin Mongolia these days.  So he knew Huang Taiji's trump cards very well. He pointed at the two women on the ground fiercely: "Marshal, they should know a lot." The Liu brothers didn't know what Huang Shi planned to do with these women.  So they have never been violent to them, but they all suggested that Huangshi torture them to extract confessions, pry open their mouths, and get the information they want to know from them. "I will not ask wives how to kill their husbands, well, neither will I  They will ask their daughters and sisters how to deal with their fathers and brothers." This time the Horqin Mongolian tribesmen and several of their sons followed Huang Taiji in the invasion, and the Horqin clan came with twenty-three Baylor and over two thousand armored soldiers.  The Liu brothers looked puzzled. Huang Shi ignored their doubts and called a few female medical soldiers and asked them to help the two Mongolian ladies down. He also ordered that bath water and comfortable accommodation be prepared for them.  Conditions. Of course, anything that could be used as weapons on these two ladies must be confiscated, and at the same time, people must be placed under strict supervision to prevent them from committing suicide. After explaining the work, several medical soldiers took the sisters down.  When Huang Shi turned around, he saw the expressions of enlightenment on the faces of the Liu brothers. Huang Shi smiled slightly and did not intend to explain. In addition, they also saw their own female soldiers. In this era, bringing women in the army would naturally cause trouble to others.  "Even if Mrs. Hong enters Zunhua, she may not be able to transport the Jian slaves out, but at least some of them can escape." Huang Shi opened the map and looked at it. He planned to attack Zunhua first. Then as long as some of the troops stick to Zunhua.  If Zunhua, Xifengkou and Santun camp all fall into the hands of the Ming army, the Huangtaiji brigade is destined to be unable to attack from here.  After leaving the customs, on a wider scale, the Qin Army, the Bian Army, the Lu Army, and even the white-armed soldiers from the southwest are also rushing towards Beijing. Within three months, the Qinwang Army around the capital will exceed 100,000, and within half a year, there will be more than 100,000 troops.  After meeting 200,000, it would be impossible for Huang Taiji to play hide-and-seek with Huang Shi. ¡°How many defenders are there at Xifengkou?  " "Returning to the marshal, the one thousand to one thousand and fifteen Mongolian soldiers are all men from the Karaqin Mongolia. Most of them are old and weak, and they were recruited at short notice." "Okay, let this go first. They are not rescuing others.  Or it may be possible to hold on for a long time. Well, Zunhua is fifty miles away from the Santun Camp. How many defenders are there in Zunhua?  " "Returning to the marshal, there are 500 full armored soldiers, 300 unarmored soldiers, and about 1,000 Mongolian soldiers. The guard is named Fan Wencheng. He is a Han Chinese promoted by Hong Taixin. It is said that he was a scholar in the past." "Fan Wencheng,  Fan Wencheng." Huang Shi chewed on the name and nodded slightly: "Okay, then we will break into Zunhua City and capture Fan Wencheng alive."
