Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 105 Spy War

(PS: The first one will be delivered, and the second one will be striven for.)
If Lu Wanling only said the name Dayuer, Huang Taiji would have wanted to break his head, but he would not be able to think that Young Master Zhang was trying to trick his wife, but when Lu Wanling said that his wife was only 12 years old, Huang Taiji immediately came to his senses , said with a smile: "It turns out that little barbarian Zhang Haogu fell in love with Bumbutai (the name of Empress Xiaozhuang), if he has the ability, he can snatch Bumbutai from my arms. It doesn't matter, anyway Even if he snatches Bumbutai away, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold back."

"You dog barbarian, I'm going to skin your dog alive!" Huang Taiji Chengfu held his breath very deeply, but his mature 13-year-old brother Dorgon couldn't help cursing angrily. ——The reason for Dorgon's anger, of course Young Master Zhang knew it, but Lu Wanling didn't, so he was so frightened that he pressed his forehead to the ground and screamed: "Khan, please forgive me, Lord Baylor, please forgive me. This is not what the slave said, it is That bastard Zhang Haogu said it!"

"Don't be afraid, Dorgon wasn't talking about you." Nuerhachi didn't care that Young Master Zhang was taking advantage of his mouth behind his back, but just asked Lu Wanling with a smile: "Dog slave, listen to what you said, what the hell is that little Zhang?" The barbarian can't do anything at all? He has no guts, he doesn't know how to fight, he can only brag and is very lustful, isn't that so? Then is he greedy for money?"

"Khan, you are so wise!" Lu Wanling exaggeratedly shouted: "That little barbarian Zhang Haogu has no guts, and he doesn't know how to fight. He only knows how to brag and flatter. He is lustful and greedy. Nothing!"

Nuerhachi laughed, as if he was very satisfied with Lu Wanling's answer. It was only at this moment that Nuerhachi slowly opened the letter from Young Master Zhang brought by Lu Wanling, and handed it to Fan Wencheng, the most loyal servant, to translate and recite—and Zhang Da The young master also changed his concise and clear style in this letter, and his style of writing was very polite, like a bookworm who has been stupefied in his studies. At the beginning, there was a paragraph of clichés such as sage sayings and Confucius sayings, and his education level was higher than that of Zhang. The young master Jiannu general yawned, and Nuerhachi shouted angrily: "Read the key point, what did the little barbarian Zhang say in the letter?"

"Zha." Fan Wencheng respectfully agreed, picked out those words that were piled up with rhetoric, and began to pick out the key points-in fact, the key points were also very simple. Young Master Zhang told Nuerhachi that he was ordered to serve as Jinzhou's military equipment for the purpose of Eliminate Jiannu and break through Shenyang, but unfortunately, Master Zhang's current soldiers, horses, food and grass are not ready yet, and Gao Di did not agree with him to attack Shenyang, only allowed him to attack Haizhou.Therefore, Young Master Zhang gave Nuerhachi three choices. One is to obediently withdraw the Haizhou garrison and sacrifice Haizhou; Ha Chi tasted his strength.As for the third option, the bodhisattva-hearted Young Master Zhang told Nuerhachi mercifully that if Nuerhachi was greedy for life and afraid of death, and didn’t want to be captured alive, he would immediately lead the whole family and the Jiannu army to disarm and surrender. Otherwise, as soon as Young Master Zhang's heavenly soldiers arrive, the army of slaves will be completely crushed!

Fan Wencheng hadn't finished Master Zhang's beliefs, and the generals who built slaves had already laughed - such letters, Yang Hao, Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen had all written to Nuerhachi, and the tone was not as good as that of Master Zhang Silly.Nuerhachi also laughed and wiped away tears, "Hahahaha, that little savage Zhang can really tell jokes, it seems that after I catch him, I really can't kill him right away, I have to keep him for a while." I smiled happily." After laughing, Nu Erha Chi pointed at Lu Wanling and shouted: "You dog slave, go back and tell that little savage Zhang, if you want Haizhou, you can come and see me, I will accompany you at any time!"

"Yes, yes, the servant must bring the original words of the Khan." Hearing that Nurhachi said that he did not intend to kill the messenger, Lu Wanling naturally hurriedly kowtowed happily in agreement.Over there, Huang Taiji asked darkly: "Lu Wanling barbarian, let me ask you, since that little barbarian Zhang Haogu intends to attack Haizhou, why is he still rushing to repair Jinzhou city defense?"

"Back to Lord Baylor, the little barbarian Zhang Haogu built Jinzhou for himself." Lu Wanling explained: "The little barbarian Zhang Haogu wanted to attack Haizhou, but he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he didn't dare to lead troops into the battlefield himself. He planned to let Sun Chengzong's assistants Ma Shilong and Man Gui lead troops to attack, and he himself stayed behind. He was also afraid that after the army was sent out, Dajin's army would attack Jinzhou by chance, so he used the excuse of repairing the granary to repair the city wall of Jinzhou desperately, so as not to lose time. Not even a chance to stand by and wait for help.”

"How do you know these things?" Huang Taiji asked.Lu Wanling kowtowed and replied: "Back to Lord Baylor, the slave is the man Zhang Haogu brought to Jinzhou from the capital. He is regarded as his confidant. He doesn't need to go to the battlefield. When we discussed how to attack Haizhou, Zhang Haogu was in front of him." From the servant's face."

Huang Taiji nodded, and asked again: "Then when does Zhang Haogu plan to attack Haizhou?" Lu Wanling replied honestly: "Go back to Lord Belle, Zhang Haogu is still waiting for food and reinforcements, and when the food and reinforcements arrive, we will wait for them." Offensive. However, after Zhang Haogu took office in Jinzhou, he found that the amount of grain in Jinyou was not in harmony with the accounts. Yuan Chonghuan's confidant, Yuan Chonghuan insisted that Jin Qizhen refuse to send troops to reinforce Jinzhou, and the reinforcements could not reach Jinzhou for a while, so the troops will not be dispatched for a while."

"Then when will the 15 shi army ration allocated by Gaodi to Zhang Haogu arrive in Jinzhou?" Huang Taiji asked the most concerned question of all Jiannu.Lu Wanling respectfully replied: "Back to Lord Baylor, the batch of grain and grass will be shipped to Jinzhou before the end of the year, but because the grain in Jinyou does not match the account, it is not enough for the army to attack Haizhou, so the amount of military grain that Gao Di promised to Jinzhou is no longer ten." Ten thousand stones, but [-] stones, ten siege weapons Hongyi cannons and a large amount of gunpowder shells bought from the Frang machine."

"15 shi of grain! Hongyi Cannon!" All the Jiannu's eyes were full of lust, almost drooling.After Nuerhachi swallowed hard, exchanged glances with Huang Taiji, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Bold barbarian, how dare you lie to me? Who is that little barbarian Zhang, and how much money does he need?" How much will you give? Come, someone, take this barbarian down, push him out of the hall and behead him for public display!"

"Break!" The guards in the hall agreed in unison, rushed up together, easily pressed Lu Wanling to the ground, and dragged him out.Lu Wanling was frightened out of his wits, struggling to be dragged by the Jiannu guards, leaving a long and large water stain on the ground of the water-polished blue bricks - from the crotch, crying: "Sweat!" I am wronged! I am wronged! This servant is telling the truth! This servant is the governor of Jinzhou, who is in charge of food and fodder. Zhang Haogu’s barbarian’s food and fodder transfer requires the servant to handle the accounts. Gaodi really wants to send 15 to Zhang Haogu. Shi Liang! Zhang Haogu is the godson of Nine Thousand Years Old Wei Zhongxian, Nine Thousand Years is a one-size-fits-all in the court, and Gao Di dare not refuse to give him whatever he wants! Wrong, Wrong——!"

"It seems that it can't be fake." Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji nodded to each other, knowing that what a pustule like Lu Wanling said at this moment would definitely not be a lie.At that moment, Nuerhachi waved his hand and shouted: "Let him go." Jiannu guards stopped according to the order, and Lu Wanling escaped from death. Naturally, he was so frightened that he cried bitterly, kowtowed, and wailed loudly, "Thank you, sweat! Thanks for killing, thank you Great Khan for not killing..."

"Lu Wanling, just now you said that you want to be my slave, is that true?" Nuerhachi changed his smile and said with a smile: "If you want to be my slave, gold, silver and beautiful women, it's very Easy, after returning to Jinzhou, as soon as you know when the food, grass and military supplies that Gao Di gave to Jinzhou will arrive, you will report to me immediately, do you understand? Also, when my army arrives at the foot of Jinzhou City, if you open Jinzhou City for me again door, then even if you want to marry my daughter, it is not impossible."

………………

When Lu Wanling happily returned to Jinzhou with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels, it was already the sixth day of November, the fifth year of Tianqi, and the restoration of the city wall of Jinzhou City was already in full swing. Jinzhou soldiers and civilians could only use rammed earth and old bricks to build the city wall. Although the progress was relatively fast, Mao Yuanyi, who was in charge of the project, was worried. He said to Young Master Zhang who came to inspect the progress of the project: "Master Zhang, there is not enough stone. The city wall may be strong." If you don’t go there, when Jiannu attacked the city, it would have been better if there were no Hongyi cannons, but if there were Hongyi cannons, the city wall would not be able to withstand a few shots.”

"It's okay, I've thought about this a long time ago." Young Master Zhang shook his head, pointing to a construction site in the city and said, "See, that construction site is rushing to manufacture [-] water hoses for fire fighting and spraying water. When it freezes, I let the soldiers spray water on the city wall to completely freeze the city wall. This kind of ice stone city wall is several times stronger than those made of bluestone. Less than an inch of the city wall."

"Ice City Wall?" Mao Yuanyi's eyes lit up, admiring Young Master Zhang's meticulous calculations.However, Mao Yuanyi was still worried, and asked again: "Master Zhang, will the weather be that cold this year? Look, it's already November, and the first snow has not yet fallen in Jinzhou. I'm afraid of the weather this year." It's not that cold."

Of course, Young Master Zhang dare not say that he read in the history book that the weather this year will be extremely cold, so cold that even the sea is frozen, causing the entire Juehua Island defenders to be annihilated. He just looked up at the gray sky and smiled. Said: "It's okay, I know some astronomy and geography, and watching the sky at night, I predict that this winter will be extremely cold, and the dripping water will turn into ice. It is estimated that it will snow in Jinzhou in a few days."

"Master Zhang can still observe astronomy at night?" Mao Yuanyi was skeptical, and then asked worriedly: "Master Zhang, even if the weather is extremely cold this winter, if Jiannu doesn't come to attack the city at the coldest time, but wait until the ice melts and the snow disappears." Attack Jinzhou, then what should we do?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Young Master Zhang smiled even more happily, patted Lu Wanling on the shoulder who had just returned to his life, and said with a smile: "With Brother Lu Nian's help, when Jiannu will attack Jinzhou, it's up to us? ——Lu Brother Nian, don’t you think so?”

"Brother Zhang... Zhang Nian, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?" Lu Wanling asked back tremblingly with a pale face.Young Master Zhang grinned, and said to Lu Wanling, "Brother Lu Nian, what are you pretending to be? I don't know your temper? When you were in Shenyang, didn't you call yourself a slave in front of Nuerhachi and take Nuer away?" Hachi also agreed to be an internal responder, reporting every move in Jinzhou City to Jiannu Nuer Hachi?"

Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang looked at Lu Wanling whose legs were already trembling, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu Nian, don't be afraid, I will report to the court at that time, you are acting as an internal response to Jian Nu according to my order, You are not guilty of leading a slave into a trap. However, who is the mastermind who contacted you in Jinzhou City, you have to confess quickly. The East Factory torture master brought by the capital is about to come in handy."

"I recruit, I recruit, I recruit everything." Lu Wanling's complexion was pale, and he raised his hands in surrender in a very sensible manner.Ma Shilong and Man Gui, who were following Young Master Zhang, were dumbfounded. They looked at Young Master Zhang as if they were looking at aliens...

…………

With the cooperation of Lu Wanling's "Jiannu Internal Response", Young Master Zhang's indirect control of Jiannu's army will inevitably be more handy. He will send some false information to Jiannu every now and then, such as the preparation progress of food and grass to the rear, the recruitment of reinforcements, Who is the surname of the general of the reinforcements? It made the two old foxes, Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji, stupefied. They suppressed their itch and waited for Master Zhang's follow-up food and grass to be transported to Jinzhou, and then went after the sheep were fattened up. Use a knife to slaughter.However, there was an accident. At least Young Master Zhang's nemesis, Fan Wencheng, was a little skeptical. He suggested using the countermeasures of the Jiannu army to test the authenticity of Lu Wanling's intelligence. Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji, who were also suspicious, immediately adopted it.

Fan Wencheng's strategy was very insidious. He ordered a Haizhou Han gentry who was willing to serve as Jiannu's slave to send someone to Jinzhou to contact Young Master Zhang, saying that he did not want to be poisoned by Jiannu and was willing to act as an internal response when Young Master Zhang attacked Haizhou. , Opening the city gate to welcome Young Master Zhang's army into the city, killing two birds with one stone can not only test the authenticity of Lu Wanling's intelligence, but also play a role in luring the Ming army into the Jiannu ambush circle in the future.But it's a pity that Fan Wencheng's tricks are effective against Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan and his like, but for Young Master Zhang, it's a real trick.

"What's the name of the Haizhou gentry who voluntarily surrendered? Did he hold any official position in Jiannu?" Young Master Zhang cunningly rolled his triangular eyes and asked in deep thought.Ma Shilong respectfully replied: "Master Zhang, the Haizhou gentry who surrendered himself is called Yu Xuan. He was a scholar in our dynasty. After the fall of Liaodong, he was tortured by slavery. He also heard that we were going to restore Haizhou, so he volunteered to serve as an internal response. He did not hold an official position with Jiannu."

"Yu Xuan?" Young Master Zhang has indeed never heard of such a traitor in history, but after a long calculation, Young Master Zhang still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Promise him, reward his messenger with 50 taels of silver, and ask the messenger to return Yu Xuan , Let’s say that our army attacked Haizhou in the second half of the first lunar month, and asked him to prepare for the response.”

"Master Zhang, should we be careful? The last general is a lesson for you." Ma Shilong, who had been tricked by traitors, said cautiously.Young Master Zhang shook his head, and said firmly: "Promise him, I have my own opinion!" After finishing speaking, Young Master Zhang patted Song Xiance next to him on the shoulder, and ordered solemnly: "Master Song, ask Lu Wanling to pass this news to Jianu immediately. Send it over quickly, otherwise Lu Wanling may attract suspicion."

"Boss, are you sure this Yu Xuan is a false surrender?" Song Xiance asked cautiously.Young Master Zhang continued to shake his head, and replied in a deep voice: "Insufficient information, I can't tell whether he really surrendered or fake internal response-but I know what is dead time! We can't fight for it without sacrificing this chess piece that we don't know the truth of. Preparation time!"

As Young Master Zhang expected, after Lu Wanling leaked the news of Yu Xuan's "surrender" to Jiannu, Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji were no longer suspicious, and it was far more generous than Young Master Zhang's generous reward of 200 taels of silver to Lu Wanling As a reward, let Lu Wanling continue to report the Jinzhou army's movements, and wait for the lamb to grow fat.But when things got to this point, the Battle of Jinzhou was determined to start when the Ming army took the lead. We only need to wait for Young Master Zhang to calmly repair the city defenses and conquer the main force of the Mangui lineage with action. The slave leads to the city of Jinzhou and hits head-on!But no one thought that this seamless plan of Young Master Zhang, but because of Gaodi's negligence, almost led to the failure of Young Master Zhang...
