Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 110: Hiding the truth and taking a big gamble

It’s night on May 30th, the second year of the Great Tomorrow.

Over Ningyuan City in Liaodong Province, the moon is dark, the clouds are heavy, and the branches and leaves are motionless.

Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Manager, was sitting in his study. He only lit a white candle on the table and covered it with a light-colored gauze. The candle gave off a dim light. In the entire study, with the white candle as the center, a small light-colored aperture was formed. The outer layers of the aperture are blurred, gradually turning gray and black from the inside out, and then becoming invisible, creating a strangely dark atmosphere.

"Is this what your master asked you to give to me?" Xiong Tingbi lowered his eyes and looked at a long sword lying quietly on the table. It was about three and a half feet long. The scabbard was made of copper and had no complicated lines. It was simple and restrained. , the hilt is carved from dark nanmu, and the tail is decorated with golden silk threads, giving it a restrained nobility.

"My lord, he is leading the army to fight, and Ningyuan City cannot afford to lose anything." Qin Erbao was sitting not far from Xiong Tingbi, his figure hidden in the darkness, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He could only tell from his tone that Qin Erbao He was disdainful of the Liaodong manager in front of him.

"To suppress Xiaoxiao?" Xiong Tingbi frowned.

"Hey, there is always some use, if it's urgent." Qin Erbao paused and did not continue.

"Huh?" Xiong Tingbi raised his brows, twitching at the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your master that he can lead the army to fight. I, Xiong Tingbi, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If Ningyuan City is damaged, I will die facing south!”

As soon as Xiong Tingbi finished speaking, there was a crash, and Qin Erbao stood up with a smile on his lips: "I hope you won't use this sword."

"I also hope that your family's expedition will go well together!" Xiong Tingbi leaned on his chair and did not make any movement.

Qin Erbao bowed slightly and stepped out.

There was silence in the study room. Xiong Tingbi's eyes fell on the table again. In the darkness, the sword was full of ancient charm and the moonlight was flowing.
  At the same time, outside Ningyuan City, Zu Dashou had already led his Liaodong cavalry. Luo Yiguan and Qi Bingzhong led more than 2,000 men respectively, totaling 13,000 men and horses. They were divided into three parts: front, middle and rear. Set off for Songshan Fort outside.

Among the large army, in addition to the Zu Zi Banner, Luo Zi Banner, and Qi Zi Banner, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the large banner of Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Wang Qi. His powerful writing power and even the glyphs carry a sharp murderous aura.

The army with fluttering military flags moved along with the army. Looking from a distance, everyone knew clearly that this was an army led by Wang Qi.
  Among the troops, Zu Dashou, Qi Bingzhong, and Luo Guanyi all had serious faces.

An hour before setting off today, the three of them found out that Wang Qi did not intend to set off with them, and had never planned to set out with them from the beginning.

The new commander-in-chief of Liaodong personally led more than 3,000 men out of Xiaoya Mountain, leading the light cavalry towards the grassland.

As for what to do in the grassland?
  Wang Qi didn't say it, Zu Dashou didn't know, and Luo Yiguan, Qi Bingzhong and others didn't know either.

Before Wang Qi left, he left only one order for the three of them: "Capture Songshan Fort, and at the same time lead more than 10,000 troops under his command to defend Songshan Fort for a month! One month later, he will go to the fort in person to meet the three of them. "

One month later?
  Zu Dashou, who was riding the horse, pulled the reins and lowered his head slightly, so that his helmet covered his sad face: When the army moves tonight, Hou Jin must have received the news. Even if Songshan Fort can be taken, the rear of Guangning Guards Station will not be able to win. The Jin army will follow one after another and eat up all the more than 10,000 of his people, leaving no bones or residue behind.
  As for Ningyuan City behind you?

When Zu Dashou heard Yuan Chonghuan's arrogant expression, his heart felt slightly cold.

I hope Wang Qi won’t break his promise
  At this moment, outside Ningyuan City, there is Crow's Mouth Mountain.

Wang Qi, who was supposed to appear in the army, instead appeared in Xiaoya Mountain to the west of Ningyuan City with more than 3,000 of his own elite troops.

"Sir, these nearly 10,000 people have left Ningyuan City, but their life or death is uncertain," Lu Xiangsheng, dressed in black armor, stood beside Wang Qi with a look of unbearability.

Wang Qi did not answer Lu Xiangsheng's words, but quietly looked at the marching army in the distance, his face stern, and even his eyes looked extremely cold under the reflection of the moonlight. In fact, all the calculations and high-profile planning in the past few days were just smoke bombs thrown by Wang Qi to Hou Jin.

All the troops deployed at Songshan Fort were bait to attract Hou Jin's troops, and even Ningyuan City was a sweet cake laid out to allow Hou Jin to move south.

Wang Qi is not concerned about whether Zu Dashou and others can open up the connection with Ningyuan City and consolidate their victory after occupying Songshan Fort.
  Can Xiong Tingbi defend Ningyuan City? Wang Qi didn't know and didn't care.

If Ningyuan City falls, then the sword Wang Qi left to Xiong Tingbi will be useful. After committing suicide, he will avoid falling into the hands of Hou Jin and being infamous for thousands of years.

In fact, in this war, there is little difference between the death of 10,000 people and the death of 100,000 people. Without Wang Qi, the future of the Ming Dynasty will continue to follow the original historical line. The country will be destroyed, the Han will fall, and the barbarians will invade. No difference.

And what about Wang Qi?

This young Liaodong general soldier felt.

The results of the previous few battles were too petty and did not hurt Hou Jin. Lao Nu still had strong troops, and Hou Jin's Eight Banners were still invincible.

The Ming Dynasty has not really regained a trace of the character of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The courtiers are still waging war in the court for the party and government, for Taoism, and for the sake of their family and hometown; the common people still beg for mercy from the Taoist masters just for a bite of food, and are attracted to the Ming Dynasty. The moths on the crumbling body are still full of flesh and blood, and the bulging body will explode at any time.

What he wants to do now is to completely mess up the historical line.

This time, when he decided to go to Liao again, he had already decided that even if he narrowly escaped death, he would have to fight to decide the outcome!

This time, he wants the old slave to be the leader! !
  Not far away, footsteps came.

Wang Qi turned his head when he heard this and saw Qin Erbao, dressed in black armor, bowing to him.

"Sir, the words have been conveyed to Xiong Tingbi," Qin Erbao's tone has become extremely respectful. Compared with his attitude towards Xiong Tingbi, it is completely different from heaven to earth.

"What did Xiong Jinglue say?" Wang Qi withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the army in the distance.

"If the city is destroyed, we will face south and commit suicide!" Qin Erbao lowered his head and replied.

"Ah,"

If Ningyuan City can be defended, that would be the best. If it cannot be defended, Wang Qi is not worried that Xiong Tingbi will rebel. The city is full of soldiers. If he does not want to be dignified, someone will give him dignity.

The sound of clicking footsteps came, and Lu Enguang, wearing a flying fish, python and cow suit, appeared not far away from Wang Qi.

The leader of the Jin Yiwei who had been entrenched in Liaodong for several years bowed to Wang Qi and said, "Sir, everything is ready! We can start as planned!"

"Send the order, let's go!" Wang Qi turned around and looked at a few people not far away: "In a month, I hope that I will open the world again for the Ming Dynasty!"

"The general will wait and I will not give up even if I die!"

Hua la la la, in the dense forest, the sleeping birds fluttered their wings and flew towards the distance.
