The Red Mansions

Chapter 955 King Chu: Pure nonsense...

Peking

Li Zan asked someone to prepare a map, hung it on the screen with a small official, and said in a deep voice: "From the current information, the Jurchens have raised their troops to conquer the country, and the Eight Banners have sent out all the elites, while the slave chieftains led [-] to [-] soldiers in Datong and Yongning. Hou confronted each other, but this time it was the two red flags of Hauge and Yue Tuo and his son, as well as the soldiers and horses of Neikalka and Horqin Mongolia, who joined forces in Changping and might want to trap our capital city of Beiping."

At this moment, there are [-] to [-] defenders in Beiping, mainly [-] soldiers from Peking Capital, [-] cavalry from Kang Hong, and [-] soldiers from Jizhen.

In the follow-up, Baoding and Shandong are obviously also sending more troops to Beiping.

In addition, the group training of Xiangyong in the counties of Beiping Prefecture, the previous training of the Xiangyong group in Changping County caused some troubles for Jurchen.

But it did not cause substantial obstacles.

Just as the generals were discussing, news came from the general outside, saying: "Report, enemy attack!"

After a preliminary rest, Hauge, Yue Tuo and his son led tens of thousands of troops to Beiping Fucheng. After a short rest, they sent a group of elite soldiers to attack Fucheng before the Han army could react.

Beiping was the former capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although the city was majestic and tall, it was also known as the seven outer walls, the inner nine emperors and the four gates because of the wide city walls. On the long city walls, after the soldiers and horses were divided, the military strength was somewhat stretched.

At this moment, Li Zan has assigned a large number of generals to guard the Yongding Gate, Zuo'an Gate, You'an Gate... the seven outer gates.

Beside a hill five miles away from Guang'an Gate, inside the military tent, the Jurchen generals sat on chairs, quietly listening to the discussions of several bannermen.

Hauge and Yue Tuo were talking to Daishan and Du Du, as well as a Dutong and two Deputy Dutongs from Zhenghongqi.

Dai Shan, Prince of Li, is nearly seventy years old. He is quite tall, with a slightly fat face and gray hair. In fact, Huang Taiji wanted Dai Shan to stay in Shengjing. Ask Huang Taiji to fight.

So Huang Taiji asked Du Du to lead the troops together as the deputy general. Du Du was actually in charge of marching and camping.

"Uncle, Beiping Prefecture is easy to attack and difficult to defend. As long as our army attacks with all its strength, we will definitely be able to take this city," Hauge said.

If he led the troops to capture Beiping Fucheng, the capital of the former Ming Dynasty would fall into his Qing hands in the future and become a springboard for competing in the Central Plains.

Dai Shan pondered for a moment on his old face, and said in a calm voice: "It's not that easy, our army is small, even if we capture Beiping Fucheng, the entire northern army of the Han court will rush to Beiping to help, it is unwise to be trapped here. "

At this moment, Daishan and Haoge have not received the news of the defeat of Li Guohan, Tong Tulai and others. If they hear the news of the defeat, they are afraid that they will find an opportunity to leave the customs after the looting.

In fact, the Jurchen at this time really did not have the convenience of entering the customs as in the parallel time and space at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because the big man did not have the Xiaoqiang chaos like Li Chuang.

Haoge said in a low voice: "Uncle, it is a good thing to win Beiping Fucheng after all, and it will wash away the humiliation of Prince Zheng's defeat."

As time passed, the truth that the inlaid blue flag led by Jierhalang was defeated by the Han army could no longer be concealed. From Haoge and Yue Tuo, to Zuoling and ordinary bannermen below, all knew about Jierha The bannermen led by Lang were destroyed in the first battle.

And after all this broke through Juyongguan, the low morale of the Qing army recovered a little bit, and after breaking through Changping City, Hauge ordered that the sword should not be sealed for a day.

Hauge said: "Uncle, I tested it first, I will take a rest tonight and attack the city tomorrow."

In the evening, one of the deputy governors who went to test and returned said: "My lord, the Han army is already prepared, and there are a lot of troops on the city."

Dai Shan said: "This city is not easy to attack. It was damaged a lot in Xuanhua City before. It is better to continue the old practice and break through the counties around the city of Beiping, take men, women, children and property, and lead the troops out of the customs."

Every time the Jurchen entered the customs, they would plunder the population, livestock, women and children of the Han Dynasty, and it was through bloodletting again and again that Liaodong has gradually become more populous in these years, and its prosperity is getting better every day.

Hauge looked anxious, and called: "Uncle."

At this time, Yue Tuo's loyal face showed a thoughtful look, and he said: "It's better to attack the city first tomorrow, the Han army will definitely help, and we will besiege the city and fight for help."

Du Du nodded, and said: "This method is still safer. The Han army's Beiping city is besieged, and the reinforcements from the provinces will definitely come to help. They marched forward and backward, and we just happened to wipe them out one after another."

This is what Nurhachi said at the beginning, he only counts the way, and I only go all the way.

In essence, the more wins the less, the stronger defeats the weak, and annihilates the enemy in mobile warfare.

Dai Shan nodded, and said, "I'm not limited to gains or losses in one place or one city, as long as I annihilate the Han army, I'll travel here and there without fear."

The Jurchens drove their troops to the foot of the city of Beiping, and on the second day after preliminary testing, the sky was bright and at dawn, the Qing army attacked the Han army from the Guang'an Gate, the outer gate of the Fucheng, to the Han army on the Fucheng. Preface, prepare the siege equipment and attack Fucheng.

"Woooo..."

The desolate sound of the horn sounded from the turret, which also woke up the sleeping Beiping city. Many peasants rushed out of the streets and alleys, and under the organization of the prefect of Peiping, they went to the city to assist the officers and soldiers in defending the city.

"Rumble..."

The Flang cannon on the city wall roared one after another, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air, and screams rang out where the shells fell.

The attack and defense of Beiping Fucheng has begun!

……

……

Shenjingcheng

A few days ago, due to the fall of Juyongguan, the public opinion in the whole city of Shenjing was boiling for a while, and Concubine Nan'an went to Rongguo Mansion to scare Jia Mu, Jia Mu yawned a few times and ignored it, Concubine Nan'an hated secretly, but also helpless.

On this day, the news of Changping's fall was transmitted to Beijing again.

After the Jurchen broke the city, the swords were not sealed for a day, innocent people were killed indiscriminately, women and children were slaughtered, and such tragic news spread to Shenjing. It has also been circulated in the streets and alleys of Shenjing recently.

At this moment, after all, it has been more than half a month since Jia Heng won the big victory in the grassland outside Datong Town, and the excitement of setting off firecrackers to celebrate after the big victory has gradually dissipated, and instead, he only protects Jia Heng and does not divide the troops. Rescue the Jizhen and Beiping defense area accusations.

At this moment, Chu Palace
The king of Chu dragged his tired body into the hall, sat down on a grand chair, took the tea delivered by the servant, lowered his head and took a sip, put the tea cup on the small table by his hand, closed his eyes and meditated.

The young king's face was full of weariness from travel and dust.

The king of Chu had just escorted a batch of ordnance and supplies to Taiyuan City, and then returned to Shenjing day and night without stopping, preparing to escort another batch of ordnance to Datong.

The attack and defense of the two towns of Xuanda during this period has consumed countless arrows and weapons, and the King of Chu, as the servant of the Ministry of War, has also worked very hard to escort the ordnance to replenish the army.

At this time, Shi Liaoxian, the head of the palace, came in from the outside, saluted the young man who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair with his eyes closed and dozed off, and said, "My lord, are you calling me?"

The King of Chu opened his eyes, bloodshot eyes were evident in his eyes, and he asked, "Is there any news in Beijing recently? When I entered the city, why did I see that everyone was talking about the fall of Changping and the danger of Beiping?"

Although Chen Han did not establish Beiping as the capital of the former Ming Dynasty after the founding of the country, but as the capital of the previous dynasty, its political significance to the Han court was also different.

A look of sadness appeared on Liao Xian's face, and his voice was subconsciously low: "My lord, Changping fell to the enemy not long ago. The Jurchen Tartars were so mad that they sacrificed their butcher knives. Many women, children and children died under the butcher knives of the Tartars. The people were outraged."

The King of Chu was silent for a moment, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he said: "The Marquis of Yongning is in Datong, didn't he just win a battle not long ago? What's going on in Changping?"

Liao Xiandao: "My lord, the governor of Yongning Marquis Xuanda was stationed in Datong. That's why there was no tragedy in Xuanda, but the soldiers and horses who originally besieged Xuanhua were diverted to break Juyongguan and caused a disaster in Changping. It is said that the imperial censor of Beijing has prepared Impeach Xie Zaiyi who took over the Xuanfu on behalf of Jiang Guan, let the enemy flee, break through the passes, and loot the land of Han."

Because Jia Heng had just won a big victory after defeating the elite of the Jurchen headquarters, and he was in Datong, some censors had no way of impeaching him.

However, Xie Zaiyi was in Xuanhua City, with tens of thousands of soldiers, but sat back and watched most of the Jurchen elites make a surprise attack from other places, so he must be responsible for this matter.

The king of Chu sighed when he heard the words, and said: "The battle at the border is raging, and those science and Taoist officials are sitting in the back and talking empty-handed, and when the war goes wrong, they will attack and hinder them. It's really meaningless."

Liao Xian's complexion changed slightly, and he reminded: "My lord, be careful with your words."

"I just said something casually." The King of Chu paused, and sighed: "I'm afraid this battle will go to March."

Liao Xiandao: "The battle between the military and the state cannot be settled overnight. If the Jurchens besiege Beiping, if they follow the past, they will only plunder for two months before giving up."

The King of Chu frowned and asked, "Didn't Marquis Yongning have elite soldiers under his command, why didn't he send troops to help?"

"The last time we won the battle, there were more victories than few. Some people in Beijing said that the Marquis of Yongning was lucky and won the first battle. Even if he didn't seek merit in the future, it would be a great achievement if he didn't hold on. Now he sent troops to help him rashly. , instead of losing face, it is better to let the enemy loot." Liao Xian said.

In fact, such remarks cannot be wrong, because after Jia Heng wiped out the Jurchen Xianglan Banner, this kind of credit can basically be paid, if there is no big defeat in the follow-up.

The King of Chu frowned, and said, "It's purely nonsense, a theory to punish one's heart."

Liao Xiandao: "Recently there have been a lot of such slanderous remarks in Beijing, and there have been many rumors. It is also because Juyongguan has been broken recently, and there have been a lot of scholastic public opinion in Beijing recently."

The King of Chu looked silent for a while, and did not mention this matter, but asked Liao Xian about other matters, and then sent him away.

"My lord."

Suddenly at this moment, accompanied by the sound of jingling pendants, a beautiful woman in a green dress with a cloud bun and pink temples entered the hall through the curtain.

The beauty's eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, but the clear eyes under the curved and beautiful eyebrows have an indescribable melancholy, and under the Qiong's nose, the lips are like cherries, but the cheeks are pale and weak, which makes people feel pity when they see it. Heart.

The King of Chu looked at the person and said, "Concubine Liu, why are you here?"

Concubine Liu is the daughter of Liu Zheng, a scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy. She was born in a scholarly family, with a gentle and quiet face from a small family, with a graceful figure and a soft temperament.

Because of several miscarriages, her body is weak, and she has a delicate and beautiful posture when walking.

"I heard from my servant that the lord is back, so come and have a look." Concubine Liu said softly with a smile on her face. She came behind King Chu, gently pinched King Chu's shoulder, and asked, "My lord, this time Come back, do you still want to go?"

"I have to go again. I don't know how long it will take for this battle to end." King Chu gently put a hand on his shoulder, grabbed Concubine Liu's hand, and said, "I have suffered a lot for you during this period of time." .”

"I'm not suffering." Liu Feiyu smiled brightly, pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "My sister is raising a baby in Jinling, that's the real suffering."

Speaking of the word raising a fetus, the gloom in Concubine Liu's eyes flashed away.

She had two miscarriages, and always felt that something was suspicious, so not long ago, she asked her father to ask the imperial physician for consultation, saying that she might have been poisoned during pregnancy, but how could she come into contact with poison in the back house?
Only... that person!
And when she heard that the little prince had died in the south, she even felt a sense of revenge in her heart.

The cycle of heaven, the retribution is unhappy.

But that man had another child!Heaven has no eyes...

The King of Chu was silent for a moment, and said: "When the war is over, I will go to Jiangnan to have a look."

I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss you a little.

It's just that the concubine has not seen a letter delivered for so long, alas, Xu is still angry with him.

Just as the King of Chu was thinking about his concubine Zhen Qing, a servant outside reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liao said that the Xuanfu sent a messenger from Hongling outside, and Lubu reported victory. , and achieved great victory!"

Compared with Jia Heng who wanted to report the follow-up military strategy, so he reported the victory with closeness and sparseness, Xie Zaiyi was directly the Hongling messenger after the big man won the victory outside, and Lu Bu reported the victory.

At this moment, the Hongling messenger has already rushed towards the Daming Palace, shouting "Great victory!"

Pedestrians on the road gave way one after another, looking at the Hongling messenger in surprise.

Afterwards, the people of Shenjing, who were paying close attention to the war at the border, had already spread the news of Xuanfu's great victory.

The king of Chu, with a pensive expression on his face, beamed with joy, and said to Concubine Liu, "The Xuan Mansion has won the battle."

Concubine Liu seemed to feel the joy of the man in front of her. The soft and bright eyes under the willow eyebrows were filled with a smile, and she said softly: "The front line has won a big victory, and it is not in vain for the prince to escort the armaments these days and travel back and forth."

Just when King Chu was overjoyed, Emperor Chongping, who was in the Daming Palace at the moment, had also received the news.

After receiving the military report from Dai Quan, his face suddenly thawed from the cold expression of just reviewing the memorandum, and said: "This Xie Zaiyi, I heard that the magic shot is unparalleled, and he is known as Xiao Li Guang. The Mongolian elite is really a good general."

On the imperial case at the side, there are already memorials on the impeachment of Xie Zaiyi by officials in Beijing and even the mention of Jia Heng's unknown employment, all of which were kept by Emperor Chongping.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Han Ge, and several military ministers are already waiting in the Wuying Hall." Seeing Emperor Chongping's happy face, Dai Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, Juyongguan was breached, Changping County was occupied, and Jurchen was acting violent near the Beiping Mansion. His Majesty did not know how anxious he was.

"Putting to the Wuying Hall." Emperor Chongping said calmly, got up and walked towards the Wuying Hall.

Just after Beijing received Xie Zaiyi's good news, Datong, hundreds of miles away——

It has been a day since the last attack. The Qing army and the Han army temporarily stopped fighting and faced each other across the city wall.

At this moment, the red flag embroidered with the Chinese character "Han" was fluttering in the spring breeze in late February, and the soldiers of the surrounding Beijing camp held weapons and crossbows and looked at the cavalry in the distance.

Below the city gate tower, Jia Heng held up the binoculars and looked at the Jurchen tents in the distance, and his eyes flicked to the stockade formed by the Jurchen.

The stockade was not built high, and there were many tents in the middle.

"I really want to raise troops to break through the Jurchen brigade in one fell swoop." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

But now the time for a large-scale battle is obviously not ripe.

Chen Xiao also put down the binoculars in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Jurchen's recent offensive has become much stronger. It seems that Jurchen is planning to divide the troops."

Although Huang Taiji deliberately concealed the division of troops, he still found out the movement through some hidden information, and Jia Heng still had a telescope in his hand.

Up to now, the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty did not know that Jia Heng had a military weapon such as a telescope in his hand, and could observe the elite Jurchens in the camp from a few miles away.

"Now the flags on the camp should only be hanging in vain, and Huang Taiji may not be in the camp anymore." Jia Heng said suddenly.

Chen Xiao raised her brows, a light flashed in her clear eyes, and said, "They want to take a long way to Ping'an Prefecture, and they are afraid that we will find out."

Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao, who had a thoughtful look on his face, and said softly, "I can't stay here for too long, I'll leave for Ping'an Prefecture tonight."

It can be seen that something is wrong with Huang Taiji's offensive these days, the more violent it is, the more it is to cover up something.

"Let's go back first." Jia Heng paused and said in a low voice.

With that said, he and Chen Xiao returned to the Datong General Army Yamen Office and walked into the hall.

Jia Heng ordered the guards of the Jinyi Mansion to summon Runan Hou Weiqi, Qi Jianhui, and Cai Quan to prepare for a discussion.

Not long after, two high-ranking military academies from the Beijing camp approached. Marquis Weiqi of Runan was over fifty years old, of medium stature, with a short beard under his chin, and a burly figure, a standard general.

Jia Heng said: "Tonight, I will choose [-] cavalry troops to go to Ping'an Prefecture. Datong Town will entrust Marquis Wei and General Cai to unify the troops and wait for the opportunity."

The Beijing camp dispatched a total of nearly [-] cavalry troops, Xie Zaiyi took away [-], Pang Shili took away [-], Xie Jing took [-] and mixed [-] troops from Taiyuan Town to support Juyongguan.

Because of the division of Taiyuan's [-] cavalry troops to suppress the local town soldiers, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry went to Ping'an Prefecture.

Therefore, there are [-] Jingying cavalry in Datong City at this moment. Of course, there are many infantry in Datong Town, and Jia Heng took away another [-] at this moment, leaving the remaining [-] Jingying cavalry.

Compared with what Cai Quan had expected, Wei Qi, the Marquis of Runan, changed his face suddenly, and asked in surprise, "The general is going to Ping'an Prefecture at this time? If Datong is attacked by Jurchen soldiers and horses, what should we do?"

Because Jia Heng did not describe to Wei Qi the possible actions of the Qing army, Wei Qi did not know why Jia Heng, the coach, was going to Ping'an Prefecture when the two armies were confronting each other.

Jia Heng said: "Datong Beijing has [-] infantry, [-] cavalry, plus [-] and [-] soldiers and horses in Datong Town, so we still have to rely on Marquis Runan. My military situation in Ping'an Prefecture is reported by flying pigeons, and Datong can send troops to cover up and kill the Jurchen soldiers."

In fact, it is not expected that Datong can send troops to defeat Jurchen.

At this moment, the soldiers and horses outside Datong City are the elite of the entire Qing Dynasty, and the famous Jurchen generals are gathered, ready to fight.

Marquis Weiqi of Runan hesitated for a while, and asked, "Why does the general insist on going to Ping'an Prefecture?"

Jia Heng said: "It's the Jurchens who might attack Ping'an Prefecture. I left a loophole there."

After arriving in Ping'an Prefecture one step ahead of time, they can arrange it on the spot and wait for the Jurchen soldiers and horses.

As he said that, he looked at Qi Jianhui and said, "General Qi, this time you will follow me to Ping'an Prefecture."

Letting Cai Quan here is for the convenience of controlling the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and at the same time, it is also good for giving the Jurchen main force a fatal blow when the fighter plane appears.

Qi Jianhui was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The general will obey."

After the task of the generals was assigned, Jia Heng turned his eyes away from Runan Hou Weiqi and others, and was about to go to the camp to order troops.

At this moment, Li Shu, the guard of Jinyi Mansion, stepped in quickly and said: "Captain, thank you General Zaiyi for sending the letter to Feige."

Because Xie Zaiyi was accompanied by people from the Jinyi Mansion, and his commander Qu Lang also followed, so after defeating the two banners of the Han army and the eight banners of Mongolia yesterday, he sent a letter to Jia Heng Feige to report.

Jia Heng stopped reading, and then met the curious eyes of the generals present, and said: "Xie Zaiyi defeated the Eight Banners of the Jurchen Han Army and the Mongolian cavalry outside Xuanhua City, annihilating five thousand enemies and taking one thousand prisoners, another great victory. "

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in Datong City were stunned for a moment, and then cheered.

Jia Heng said: "Earlier, when the Jurchen sent troops to Juyongguan and approached Beiping Mansion, they left two flags of the Han army to attract our army's attention, so we should have thought of this festival."

In fact, these opportunities are very subtle. After Juyongguan was broken, the Qing army that besieged Xuanfu should withdraw in time or join the main force of the Qing army in Datong, or attack the defense line of Jizhen.

Of course, if you stay where you are, not everyone has the courage to take the initiative.

The Jurchens are less than ten thousand and invincible.

In fact, this sentence is only limited to the elite of the Jurchen headquarters. There are less than [-] soldiers in one banner, but it is precisely that there are less than [-] people. If one is not careful, the [-] to [-] Han troops with low combat power and decaying may be crushed by him .

But this is the Eight Banners of the Han Army. Compared with the elites of the Jurchen Headquarters, who were born in the old and the poor, they are already inferior in fighting will. In addition, they have been tossing back and forth between Xuanhua City and Dushikou. Unbearable.

The victory in this battle does not require much skill, it is to use the strong to defeat the weak, and to use the many to defeat the few.

"The war in Xuanhua has been resolved, and Jurchen must be more urgent. Shuozhou is the first defense in Jinzhong. Once it is breached, our army's food road may be interrupted. Therefore, this Marquis needs to rush to help immediately." A group of generals who fell into inexplicable joy.

Wei Qi said: "General, don't worry, we will defend Datong to the death."

Jia Heng nodded, and explained a few words to Cai Quan about the key points of the Hongyi cannon, which he planned to use in the future military affairs, and then ordered Qi Jianhui to order troops, and then went to the barracks with Chen Xiao.

Ping'an

Known as Shuozhou in ancient times, also known as Mayi, this place straddles the Yanmen Pass in the south.

The straight-line distance from here to Datong City is only a little over a hundred kilometers, and Jia Heng has been fighting since the evening, and finally rushed to the city on the third day.

Because Cai Quan sent a general and two guerrillas to lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to sit in the city, while guarding [-] Hongyi cannons.

Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao who was at the side, and said, "Huang Taiji probably hasn't come here yet, but it won't be long."

Chen Xiaodao: "Let's advance to the city. If Huang Taiji attacks the city, we will arrange it one step earlier."

"If Huang Taiji doesn't come here in person, he won't suffer a disadvantage. At least he can eat the Jurchen Banner." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

At this time, a guard of the Jinyi Mansion came to report and said: "Captain, General Qi has already entered the city, please the governor and the army to enter the city."

Jia Heng held the rein in his hand, and said to Chen Xiao who was beside him: "Go, enter the city."

It was evening now, the setting sun in the western sky was like blood, the golden red glow reflected the green and smoky green hills, and a flag with the word "Han" above the city of Ping'an in the distance fluttered with the wind.

At this moment in the city of Ping'an Prefecture, Cui Ling, the governor of Ping'an Prefecture, led the state officials and officials to the gate, while Qi Jianhui, the governor of the Fenwu Camp, led Hu Guan, the Counselor of the Guoyong Camp, and Feng Qiguo, the guerrilla general, who were stationed here. , Yan Xun, out of the city to meet.

The Jiedu Envoy of Ping'an Province has [-] troops under its jurisdiction, but the actual number of troops is less than [-]. If Jia Heng hadn't sent troops here in advance, it is really possible that Jurchen took advantage of the vacancy and broke through the pass. The land cuts off the connection between Taiyuan and Datong.

"Jie Shuai, the general has arrived."

At this time, a soldier said with joy, and came to a middle-aged military officer in his early forties, who was wearing a second-rank military officer's robe and had a fat body.

Cui Ling followed the sound and stared at the young man in the python suit riding on the maroon horse. He was wearing a black cloak and a python robe inside, with a sword hanging around his waist. Looking around, sitting upright on the horse, looking at Yuanting Yuechi, looking around, there is a majestic posture looking around.

"I've seen the Marquis of Yongning before." Cui Ling was anxious, walked a few steps quickly, bowed to the young man and said.

Jia Heng got off the horse, looked at Cui Ling, smiled and said: "Cui Jiedu envoy please hurry up, you and I are also acquaintances."

In fact, Cui Ling has been controlled by Hu Guan, the general of the Beijing camp these days, and all the military power in the city has been taken into his hands.

Hearing this, Cui Ling was flattered and said with a smile on his face: "Back then, when Dukes Ning and Rong were here, the last general was under the tent of Lord Xiaoguo, and when he saw the general just now, he almost thought it was Lord Xiaoguo leading the troops. .”

Jia Heng looked at Cui Ling and said, "Emissary Cui Jiedu heard that he had a close friendship with Master She in the family?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cui Ling's face changed slightly, obviously a little frightened by Jia Heng's remark, he hesitated for a while, and said: "It's just that we had some friendship back then."

"Great General." At this time, Hu Ying led two guerrilla generals over and saluted Jia Heng with fists cupped.

"Okay, let's talk in the official office." Jia Heng interrupted the greetings of several people, and said: "There are so many people here, it's not too late to discuss matters in the official office."

The main reason is to worry about leaking the news. If Huang Taiji notices it again and walks away in fear, then this trip will be in vain.

The army rolled into the city in an atmosphere that could be called silence.

In Ping'an Prefecture, in the government office of the state city, all the generals and civil servants sat in rows. Jia Heng naturally sat on the grand master's chair behind the handsome case, with a brass embossed tiger pattern behind him.

Jia Heng glanced at the generals below, was silent for a while, and asked, "General Hu, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city? Are there any traces of the enemy in the north?"

Shuozhou is bordered by grasslands, so it can be said that a roundabout attack can play a surprise role, but it is not that the Han army did not set up fortifications as a warning.
