(PS: There are two updates today, the first one will be delivered, please order tickets and recommend.)
The fourth watch has just arrived, and the wind is getting tighter. The snowflakes in the sky are no longer falling slowly, but flying in balls in the cold wind. When you open your eyes, the world is hazy, and even the lights and torches on the Jinzhou city wall , It also becomes faint in the wind and snow, the breath is like fog, and the dripping water turns into ice.No matter how bad the weather is, a team of poor Jiannu scouts are still lurking outside the north gate of Jinzhou, closely monitoring every move of the Jinzhou defenders, for fear that the Jinzhou Ming army will sneak out of the city under the command of that cunning barbarian Zhang. door, quietly raided the Jianshou camp or quietly retreated to the south.So all of a sudden, that little barbarian Zhang was not only the most hated object of the Jiannu Aixinjueluo family, but also the most hated object of ordinary Jiannu scouts.

"Fuck it, the weather is even colder than Jianzhou." Huo Yong (deputy captain) of the Jiannu scouting team rubbed his hands and cursed loudly, "It's all because of that damned barbarian Zhang. Brother Ten who was cut by Khan, Khan didn’t want him to escape, so he sent us to monitor him overnight. Otherwise, it would be better for that bastard Zhang to run away. We went straight to the city and slept under the bed with the barbarian woman in our arms How comfortable are you?"

The Jiannu scouts of the same team who huddled together to keep warm with each other echoed, they all hated that little savage Zhang, only the head of the scout team cursed Dai in a low voice: "Shut up, you Ajina (pigs) ), do you want to recruit the barbarian brigade from the city?" Huo Yong retorted unconvinced: "What are you afraid of? "

"Aqina!" Jiannu scout chief Shi Zhang was about to yell, but out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed some red lights flashing on Jinzhou City, which were very eye-catching in the light of orange bonfires and torches.The head of the Jiannu hurriedly called everyone to look carefully, but saw three red lanterns rising from the city wall of the north gate of Jinzhou, rising to the top of the city wall and quickly lowering to the middle of the city wall, repeating this cycle three times, as if sending some signal.The Chief Jiannu couldn't help being startled, and said in a low voice, "What is the barbarian doing? It seems to be sending some signal to the outside of the city?"

"It should be a signal." The Jiannu scouts of the same team nodded together, and the Jiannu Shichang groaned for a moment, and immediately ordered: "You stay here and watch, I'll go over and have a look." After that, Jiannushi Changla Wrap yourself with a piece of white felt, bend over and trot to the bottom of the city wall that sent out the signal, hide in the snow and cover yourself with the felt, and observe the movements above and around the city wall.But after waiting for a long time, the surrounding area was still quiet, no one came to contact the defenders on the city, but the defenders on the city got impatient, put down three red lights, and sent the signal again.There was still no movement around, and it seemed that the people who came to contact the Jinzhou defenders hadn’t arrived yet. Relying on his ability to speak a few words of Chinese, the head of the Jiannu family gave up his heart, gritted his teeth, stood up, and whispered to the city :"I am coming."

"Why did you come here?" The guard on the city complained in a low voice, threw another object, and called out in a low voice: "Take it quickly, this is a letter from Master Zhang to your master, thank you for our Master Zhang Master. Have you brought a letter, and do you want me to put down the basket?"

"No, no." The head of Jiannu never dreamed that it would be so easy. When he quickly picked up the things thrown from the city, he was ecstatic to find that it was a bamboo tube containing letters.The head of Jiannu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "My master didn't let me bring a letter today, so I will contact you some other day." The guards in the city agreed, and the head of Jiannu hurried back to his team In the hiding place, before he had time to explain to the scouts of the same team, he jumped on his horse and rushed straight to the Jiannu camp.

…………

As Young Master Zhang expected, after the old Jiannu Nuerhachi returned to the camp, he immediately summoned the Jiannu generals to discuss the military situation. The three options that the young master expected-withdraw the army, continue to attack the city, and divide the troops to monitor the main force of Jinzhou going south to attack Ningyuan.And Nuerhachi also rejected the first choice without hesitation, but the generals who built slaves had great differences on the choice of continuing to attack the city or bypassing Jinzhou to attack Ningyuan. The fierce generals on the battlefield led by Taihe Dudu were unwilling to fail, and insisted on laying down all their strength to take revenge on the Jinzhou massacre, and to avenge the fallen Jiannu soldiers, De Gelei, and Fei Yangwu!Some civil and military officials, headed by Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng, insisted that the army of founding slaves did not have much food and could not fight for a long time. After solving the problem of insufficient military rations, it will not be too late to turn around and clean up Jinzhou.

The opinions of the generals under his command were completely opposite, and Nuerhachi couldn't help but fell into hesitation. Originally, Nuerhachi, an old sparrow on the battlefield, also knew that Huang Taiji's suggestion was the safest, and his lack of military rations was not enough to support the army for a long time. Erhachi was even more worried, and asked Huang Taiji: "Brother Ba, you said that it is a good idea to go south to attack Ningyuan and Juehua Island to seize grain, but the city of Ningyuan is stronger than Jinzhou, and the grain is placed on all sides. We have no ships on Juehua Island in the sea, so what if there is a stalemate there?"

"Ama, don't worry, my son has already grasped the details of Ningyuan and Juehua Island through the inside line." Huang Taiji replied in a deep voice: "According to the insider report from my son, the weather is very cold this year, and the sea around Juehua Island has begun to freeze. Ice, it is estimated that within a few days, our army's cavalry can directly kill Juehua Island. Even if the ice on the sea surface is not enough to support our army on foot, Erchen's internal line will provide us with enough ships so that we can Take down Juehua Island. Moreover, the insider of the minister even secretly reported that the defender of Juehua Island, Jin Guan, is dying of a serious illness, and this is a great opportunity for our army to attack the island and seize food."

"Is the news reliable? Who is your insider among the barbarians?" Nurhachi asked doubtfully.Huang Taiji knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Ama, please don't worry, I will use my head as a guarantee, the news is absolutely reliable. But who is the insider, please forgive me for not being able to say."

"Do you want to keep it a secret from Ama?" Nuerhachi smiled, and after a long time of calculation, Nuerhachi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Mangurtai, Du Du, you two will lead [-] troops, stay in Here we monitor the Jinzhou barbarian army, do not attack the city, only fight in the field, and do not give Zhang Hao the ancient barbarian a chance to escape. The other troops will follow me south to attack Ningyuan and Juehua Island tomorrow! When we get the food stored there, we will turn back and attack Jinzhou. Late." Mang Gurtai, Du Du and other generals agreed sullenly, while the Nanxia faction headed by Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng happily praised Nuerhachi for his wisdom and determination, and his invincibility.

After making this correct decision, Nuerhachi dismissed the generals, took a few mouthfuls of hibiscus ointment, and went to bed sullenly, but when he slept until dawn, the guards hurriedly woke Nuerhachi up, The letter picked up by the Jiannu scout Shizhang at the foot of Jinzhou City was held in front of Nurhachi.Nuerhachi, who has a little knowledge of Chinese, lazily took the bamboo tube, pulled out the letter and saw the recipient's name, Nuerhachi sat up suddenly from the bed, and shouted: "Immediately send an order to raise the account, and send those who understand barbarian characters The barbarian civil servants also called to participate." The guards left in a hurry, and Nuerhachi quickly opened the letter to read, but the letter was too long and there were too many characters, and it was impossible for Nuerhachi, who didn't know many Chinese characters, to understand it.But one thing Nuerhachi can be sure of is that this letter with the official seal of the barbarian at the end is indeed a letter written by Zhang Haogu barbarian to his eighth son, Huang Taiji...

The horn blew, and the civil and military officials who were sleeping soundly did not dare to be negligent. They hurriedly put on their armor and rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army. Ning Wan, Bao Chengxian and I, who were not qualified to participate in the military conference of the big tent of the Chinese army, were also arrested by Nuerha Chi's bodyguard specially called Jin Zhang to attend the meeting together, which made the two hard-core traitors whom Nurhachi rarely trusted were both surprised and delighted, even more inexplicable.And Huang Taiji, who was already planning how to capture Juehua Island, was even more baffled. After leading his die-hard buddy Fan Wencheng into the camp of the Chinese army, the first thing he said was to ask Nuerhachi: "Ama, what happened? What is the urgent situation?"

"There is no urgent military situation." Nuerhachi shook his head, stared at Huang Taiji again and asked, "Old Ba, let me ask you, do you have any contact with Zhang Haogu, little savage in private?"

"My son and Zhang Haogu, the little savage? My son and him have never met before, how can there be any connection?" Huang Taiji replied inexplicably.Nuerhachi sneered, and suddenly took out the letter written by Young Master Zhang to Huang Taiji, raised his voice and shouted: "Since you have no contact with Zhang Haogu, little barbarian, why did he write to you? Why did he pass the letter secretly?" Signal contact, secretly communicating with him behind everyone's back?"

"Ah!" Almost all the Jiannu civil and military officials exclaimed.Huang Taiji was so frightened that his face paled, he quickly fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed and shouted: "Ama, I am wronged, I have never had any correspondence with Zhang Haogu barbarian, please check carefully!" Cheng Ye fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed and shouted: "Khan, I am willing to pledge my family's wealth and life as a guarantee. Babeile has never had any correspondence with Zhang Haogu barbarian. Please check it out!"

"I have to find out." Nuerhachi sneered and shouted: "Come here, bring in the chief who pretended to be a messenger and received the letter, and let him explain in detail what happened before and after receiving the letter!"

"Zha!" Daqian, the guard of the big tent, agreed, and quickly led the Jiannu scout chief who had found the letter into the big tent of the Chinese army.In order to make meritorious service, the Chief Jiannu was unambiguous, and carefully told the details of how he discovered the signal on Jinzhou City and pretended to be a messenger to deceive the letter. The more Huang Taiji heard it, the paler his face became, and he quickly kowtowed and said: "Ama, I am wronged, I am wronged, I have always been loyal to Ama, how could I contact Zhang Haogu by letter?" Fan Wencheng also kowtowed and said: "The Great Khan Mingjian, that Zhang Haogu The little barbarian has always been treacherous, this must be his trick to alienate people, please check it out."

"Great Khan, this must be Zhang Hao's plan to alienate the ancient barbarians." Amin, the nephew of Nuerhachi and the owner of the Xianglan Banner, also stood up, and said to Nuerhachi: "Khan, the slaves have always been here on weekdays. Discord with Babeile, you must be aware of this, but the servant is the first to not believe that Babeile betrayed Dahan!"

"Yeah, Dahan, who is Babeile? How could he betray you? This must be a trick of the good old barbarian!" Other civil and military officials of Jiannu also stood up one after another, firmly believing that it was impossible for Huang Taiji to betray Nu Erha Chi.And Nuerhachi is also very aware of this, and said with a slow smile: "Old Ba, you don't need to be afraid. Ama knows your loyalty and has no doubts that you betrayed Ama. Get up. But Ama also knows you I have a little contact with some barbarian officials in private, and I can often get important military information for Ama from them, so I want to ask if you also have contact with Zhang Haogu, little barbarian?"

"Thank you, Ama, but I really don't have any connection with Zhang Haogu barbarian." Huang Taiji heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly argued again.A Min asked again: "Dare to ask Da Khan, what did Zhang Haogu barbarian say in this letter?"

"The letter is too long, and I can't understand most of it." Nuerhachi shook his head, handed the letter to Bao Chengxian and Ning Wan, and ordered: "You two slaves, read this letter to me in public. "Although Nuerhachi's action seemed unintentional, the expressions of the shrewd and meticulous Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng changed, knowing that Nuerhachi was still suspicious!You know, the person who usually recites Chinese to Nuerhachi is Huang Taiji's confidant Fan Wencheng. Now Nuerhachi deliberately called Bao Chengxian and Ning Wanwo, the Han slaves who are not qualified to participate in the military council, into the big tent, so that They recited Young Master Zhang's letter. Didn't they doubt what Huang Taiji was?
"Zha." Contrary to Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng whose faces changed greatly, Bao Chengxian and Ning Wanwo, who had finally got the chance to express themselves, were overjoyed, opened the letter together, cleared their throats, and read in unison: "Prince Dajin loves Xin Jue Luo Huang Taiji Baylor, I already know what you said in your letter last time, your good brother Zhang Haogu, thank you for your help, I can continue to stick to it in Jinzhou. Baylor, don’t worry, brother, I am a loyal man If you kill your father Nurhachi and your disobedient brothers, I will risk my life and push you to the Khan of the Kingdom of Jin position, let you inherit your father's position."

"Hehe." Nuerhachi took the lead in laughing, and said tauntingly: "Eighth elder brother wants to kill me and my other sons to succeed? Zhang Haogu, a little savage, is really stupid. Such a shallow plan of divorce, Want us to be fooled too?"

The other sons of Nurhachi and the civil and military officials of Jiannu also laughed, scornful of young master Zhang's superficial schemes - it is far worse than the schemes of separation and opposition in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".Huang Taiji let out a long sigh of relief, thankful that Young Master Zhang's trick was really simple and crude, otherwise, he would have created a lot of trouble for himself.Fan Wencheng laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Is that little savage Zhang Haogu out of his head? As the saying goes, you can't be close. He wants to drive a wedge between Da Khan and Lord Baylor, but he even wants to slander Baylor." Master intends to kill his father and brother, doesn't he know that our Lord Baylor is the most sincere and filial elder brother in the world?"

"Keep reading." Nurhachi lay back on his seat, sneered and waved his hand contemptuously.Bao Chengxian and Ning Wan and I agreed together, and read in unison: "As for the Ming court, Babeile, please rest assured, brother, I have already secretly reported your affairs to Emperor Ming and Jiu Qiansui. I didn't agree immediately, but I was a little tempted, so brother, I can guarantee that as long as you become the Dajin Dahan, I will be able to persuade the emperor and Jiuqian to agree to a truce with you, and I will give you the title of Jin Guo Dahan , What are the requirements for opening the border market and opening the horse market?

"The more you talk, the more exaggerated it is." Nuerhachi sneered loudly, but she was really jealous in her heart—why didn't the barbarian court grant me a border market title?If there is a border market, I still need to take the risk of attacking Jinzhou and Ningyuan to grab food?After snorting again, Nurhachi shouted, "Keep reading."

"Brother, I can pat your chest to make sure you can do it." Bao Chengxian and Ning Wan I felt a little guilty, first repeated the last sentence, and then carefully said together: "Anyway, Babeile, help me get Dege Lei tricked me into the city to kill me. Although I used my knife to get rid of the Dege class who might compete with you, it was also a great contribution to me, brother. How can I forget you when I get promoted and get rich? The benefits? By the way, next time you attack the city, you have to attack harder. Don’t pretend to be too fake like the previous few times. See the flaw. How about it, brother, am I enough?"

"Hmm!" Nuerhachi's face changed, and he subconsciously sat up straight.The faces of the other slave-building generals also changed, and they began to recall Huang Taiji's various performances when Young Master Zhang used tricks to lure Dege into the city to be killed and the previous times when the slave-building army attacked the city.As if struck by lightning, Huang Taiji quickly knelt down on his knees again, kowtowed and shouted: "Ama, you have been wronged! The ministers attacked the city a few times before, and they definitely did not feint on purpose! The ministers did not dare to collude with Zhang Hao, the ancient barbarian!" Trick the tenth brother into Jinzhou City to die!"

Nuerhachi ignored Huang Taiji, and recalled it carefully for a long time before Nuerhachi said coldly: "Keep reading."

I want to know if we don't engage in conspiracies and tricks, it's uncomfortable, how did Young Master Zhang cheat Huang Taiji?Please see the next chapter, "Affinity Between Sparse Energy".
