"Mad dog! It's a mad dog through and through! What the hell did Manzi Mingguo do? How could he give birth to a mad dog like Zhang Haogu, a little barbarian? Wherever he goes, he will cause trouble, and when will he be comfortable—— ?!"

If anyone is the most unhappy to hear the news that Young Master Zhang captured Lin Dan and killed Lin Dan's main force by the way, then it is definitely not Young Master Zhang's political opponents in the Ming court, nor the gangster who was beaten up by Young Master Zhang, and even more so. It wasn't the civil and military officials at all levels of Ming Dynasty who were jealous of Master Zhang's achievements, let alone the governor of Liaodong, or even Lin Dan himself!Instead, the old Jiannu Nuerhachi family!Especially Young Master Zhang's old rival, Huang Taiji, jumped four feet high, beat his chest and stomped his feet, and yelled at Young Master Zhang for being a pervert, Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian for being blind, all of Young Master Zhang's enemies as stupid as pigs, and all Han people in the world. Good luck, how could there be such a freak as Young Master Zhang among the Han people?Every time Jiannu showed signs of victory, this freak would come out and make trouble, ruining all of Jiannu's good deeds?

Huang Taiji had no choice but to be angry. He finally persuaded his father Nuerhachi and a dozen wolf-hearted brothers to accept his opinion, decided to reconcile with Jiannu's old opponent Lin Dan, and established an alliance to deal with Daming together. It took a lot of effort It took a lot of hard work to persuade Lin Dan to be tempted, and he sacrificed a hard-core traitor, which forced Lin Dan to the precipice of war with Ming. Killed out of nowhere, annihilated the main force of Mongolia in World War I, and captured the Mongolian boss Lin Dan and his son alive!Next, Huang Taiji dared to dream that the Mongolian army could continue to form an alliance with Jiannu, and charge for Jiannu to contain the main force of Ming Dynasty. That is really a daydream!
"This mad dog is really unstoppable? More than 2 troops annihilated 25 Mongolian troops. Is this mad dog a human?" Unlike Huang Taiji, Jiannu's regent Baylor Daishan considered another Question, exclaimed in a slightly trembling voice: "Lin Dan is finished. If the barbarian court transfers this mad dog and his mad dog army back to Liaodong, what do we have to fight this little mad dog? This little mad dog used to Without the direct line army, it is more difficult to deal with than ghosts, now with the direct line mad dog army, who among us can be sure to defeat him?"

Facing Daishan's question, although all the Jiannu generals present boasted that they are good at fighting, invincible and invincible, they were all silent and dared not speak up at this meeting. Only Huang Taiji said confidently "Second brother, don't worry. Although Zhang Haogu's little mad dog is powerful, he is not without weaknesses. As long as we are united and work together, it will not be difficult to defeat him. Besides, Zhang Haogu's little mad dog just fought with him." After Lin Dan's battle, there must be casualties in the army, and the soldiers must be very tired. As long as our southern expedition is fast enough and the war does not prolong for a long time, the possibility of meeting him is not great."

"It's best to be like this. We have already got the food and grass outside Ningyuan and Jinzhou City. This year's winter food and grass are no problem. I don't want to make trouble at this time." Dai Shan patted his chest happily, and said annoyedly: "It's just In this way, our goal of forcing the barbarian court to recognize Dajin's independence has basically failed."

"It's still a trivial matter, and that's not what I'm most worried about." Huang Taiji walked to the door of the big tent, lifted the curtain, stared at the distant Ningyuan City towering under the blue sky and white clouds, and said slowly: "I'm more worried about us in Ningyuan. That old friend in the city, for his position as Governor of Liaodong, his subordinates launched a mutiny and killed Bi Zisu, forcing the Manzi court to reinstate him. As long as he is smart enough, he will not fail to guess the Manzi Emperor and the old eunuch Wei It’s not that they don’t understand the truth of the Ningyuan mutiny, but they only made concessions to him due to the situation! Now that Lin Dan has been destroyed, and the threat from the north in the Manzi Xuanda area has been eliminated, if the Manzi court decides to transfer Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, to Liaodong, let Xiong If the old barbarian and Zhang Haogu's little mad dog switch positions, then our old friend will be anxious and afraid."

"What is he afraid of?" Dai Shan snorted coldly, "Zhang Haogu, the little barbarian, really drove him into a hurry. He pulled up the barbarian's army flag and hung up our big golden dragon flag, so he can save his own life. We I can also get tens of thousands more coated aha, I wish he was in a hurry."

"Second brother, to be honest, although I have long wanted to bring him to our Dajin side, I don't want him to rebel at this time." Huang Taiji said solemnly: "Our Dajin and Zhang Haogu Sooner or later, the little mad dog will have a decisive battle to bet on the fate of the country. Although we will not lose to that little mad dog, we are not absolutely sure of winning, so I hope he can turn around and surrender at that time. Stab a knife in the back, so that we will be sure of victory." Speaking of this, Huang Taiji smiled slightly, and added: "Besides, if he rebels now, we won't be able to come to Ningjin to harvest food every year. And to supplement the luggage—kill the old hen that lays eggs, how can you pick up eggs every day?"

"That's true, but this matter has to be decided by himself." Dai Shan said leisurely: "If this old hen is determined to come and kill us, we will have to eat chicken first. It’s better to eat a chicken meal than to beat chicken and eggs?” After that, Daishan also smiled and added, “I bet, there must be a quarrel within them now, some people propose to sacrifice Ningyuan immediately, and some people want to give up Wait and see, see if things turn around."

"It must be so." Huang Taiji nodded, and then pondered: "How about we send another envoy into the city to contact them again and see how they decide, so we can prepare for it."

………………

The fact was unfortunately revealed by Jiannu's words. In the Shanzong meeting place in Ningyuan City, the members of the Shanzong really quarreled. Most of the members of the Shanzong who were frightened by Young Master Zhang's perverted record demanded immediate action, opened the city gate to The members of the slave-building army outside the city surrendered, so as not to wait until the imperial court transfers that little pervert Zhang Haogu to Liaodong, then even if we want to abandon the light and turn to darkness, we may have no chance; It is best not to do anything at the last moment, otherwise you will be left with eternal infamy, and when it comes to Jiannu, it is not certain whether Jiannu will fulfill the previous promise.Only the leader of the Shanzong remained silent and refused to say what countermeasures he would take.

"Bang bang, bang bang." Just as the venue was full of noise, someone knocked lightly on the door of the secret room.The head of the Shanzong listened to the knock signal correctly, so he winked and asked the guards at the door to open the door. A middle-aged man hurried into the room, came directly to the head of the Shanzong, and whispered in his ear.After listening to the report, the head of Shanzong was overjoyed immediately, and waved his hand and said: "Everyone, stop arguing, Brother Sun Zhongshou has obtained accurate information, Zhang Haogu's little mad dog will not be able to come to Liaodong for the time being, and the position of the superintendent Xiong Lao is not available for the time being." Can't move."

"Really?" The members of the Shanzong shouted together.The leader of Shanzong smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Although Zhang Haogu's little mad dog won a big victory in Zhangjiakou, his mad dog army also suffered a lot of casualties. The special ammunition is exhausted, and it will not be replenished for a while. Moreover, his army has fought two decisive battles in more than three months, and the generals and soldiers are already very tired. So the old eunuch Wei wrote a letter to Xiong Laohu, telling Xiong Laohu to stick to Shanhaiguan with peace of mind, and don't expect Zhang Hao That old little mad dog will give him reinforcements."

"God bless you!" The members of the Shanzong cheered together, rejoicing that they had narrowly escaped death and escaped a catastrophe.The leader of the Shanzong turned to another member of the Shanzong, and said with a smile: "Brother Lianghuan, I have another piece of good news to tell you. Your eldest son Wu Sangui was recommended by Zhang Haogu, a little mad dog. His Majesty's Grace has specially appointed him as a Congratulations to the commander of Kaizhou Guard of the fourth rank, and hereditary succession."

"Ah!" Wu Xiang was overjoyed, and said happily, "My son is only 16 years old, so he is the commander of the fourth rank of the hereditary leader?" But after laughing here, Wu Xiang suddenly found that his boss's expression was not right, and quickly changed his words to defend himself. : "Futai, the end general really didn't know about this matter beforehand. It may be that Sangui made great contributions in Zhangjiakou this time, so the emperor specially ordered him to give him grace. The end general can swear to God that he never had a good relationship with Zhang Haogu in private. Little Mad Dog has had any contact, please ask him to take care of the last general's son."

"What are you in a hurry for? I didn't say that you have a private relationship with Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog?" The head of Shanzong said with a smile on his face: "Your Wu family and your ancestor's family are my right-hand men in Liaodong. Yours The Eldest Young Master has received a great reward from the imperial court, and I am too happy." Wu Xiang agreed tremblingly, not daring to speak any more.The leader of the Shanzong smiled again and said: "General Wu, I think you'd better get in touch with Mr. Ling more, he is not young anymore, it's time to make a marriage for him. Also, by the way, why did the emperor want to specialize? Order to seal him?"

"The general understands." Wu Xiang answered comprehensibly: "The general should hurry up and see if there are any suitable girls in the ancestral family and the He family in western Liaoning. .And why the emperor wanted to reward him, the last general will definitely figure it out."

"Very good, then I will congratulate General Wu first." The head of Shanzong nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said, "Okay, since Zhang Haogu's little mad dog can't come to Liaodong for the time being, Xiong Lao is confused and doesn't need it." If we are afraid, then we don’t need to take any risks, we should do whatever we want, and act according to the original plan.” All the members of the Shanzong clasped their fists together and agreed, and the leader of the Shanzong turned to Sun Zhongshou who came in earlier and said: “Tell the news to the four Baylor's envoy, let Si Baylor rest assured, and tell Si Baylor by the way that we will act according to the original agreement, and there is no need to adjust."

………………

Sun Zhongshou took the order to leave, and the emergency meeting of Shanzong was adjourned immediately, and each returned to his post to act according to the original plan.But at night, Sun Zhongshou led another man to the head of the Shanzong. When the two sides met, the head of the Shanzong was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Sibeiler, why did you come in person?" The person who came to the head of the Shanzong's house turned out to be the eighth son of the old Jiannu Nuerhachi, Aixinjueluo Huang Taiji!
"Why did I come in person?" Huang Taiji said with a sneer: "Of course I came to save you. It's ridiculous that you were smart all your life, but you were so confused that you were fooled by Zhang Haogu's little mad dog, and you didn't even know it. If I don’t come to see you in person, I will never have the chance to see you, Liaodong Futai again!”

"What have I been fooled by?" The head of the Shanzong asked nervously, while winking at Sun Zhongshou, telling him to watch outside the door, so as not to let unrelated people intrude in unintentionally.Huang Taiji was not in a hurry, first he sat down across from the head of the Shanzong in a grand manner, until Sun Zhongshou closed the door after going out, and then Hong Taiji sipped the Lingtou single cluster tea offered by the head of the Shanzong, and said slowly: "To be honest At the beginning, I was almost fooled by Zhang Haogu, a little mad dog. I was going to act according to the original plan, and I would just fight with you in the city of Ningyuan and leave. Fortunately, your confidant Sun Zhongshou accidentally told me that Zhang Haogu's little mad dog recommended an important position to Wu Xiang's son Wu Sangui, and it was only then that I realized that Zhang Haogu's little mad dog has already started to lay out traps for you."

"Sibeile means that Zhang Haogu's little mad dog is planning to divide my Shanzong?" The leader of the Shanzong is not too stupid, so he immediately came to his senses.Huang Taiji smiled, and replied: "Smart! Wu Sangui is only 16 years old, and he has no fame. According to the rules of your Ming court, no matter what great achievements you make on the battlefield, how can you award a fourth-rank commander all at once?" In the eight years since Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, apart from the relatives and nephews of the old eunuch Wei, how many hereditary commanders have you been granted?"

"When I heard the news, I also felt that the emperor rewarded Wu Sangui too much, but I didn't think much about it." The head of the Shanzong nodded thoughtfully, "After Sibeile's analysis, it seems that there must be something wrong with it. , but Sibeile, how can you say that this is a signal that Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, is going to attack me?"

"You still don't know Zhang Haogu's little mad dog's method of action?" Huang Taiji sneered, "This little mad dog never acts impulsively. Before killing an enemy, he always sets up a seamless trap first, and then waits for the enemy to take it lightly." , and then kick the enemy into the trap, so that the enemy will never turn over! Wang Huazhen, Zhu Youjian, Lin Dan, and the eight major companies in Zhangjiakou, which one was not killed by the little mad dog with this method? Even our Daikin In Shengjing City, you and I would have thought beforehand that Zhang Haogu’s little mad dog let Mao Wenlong attack Haizhou and Lin Dan attack Horqin, in fact, it was not for his Jinzhou rescue, but to divert our main force, so he had a chance A sneak attack on Shengjing City? Now this little mad dog is spreading the word that he will not be able to come to Liaodong for the time being, and at the same time asking you Ming Dynasty emperor and Wei old eunuch to reward your confidant nephew, isn't this a signal that he is going to attack you?"

"Understood!" The head of the Shanzong suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "What a sinister little mad dog, he let the wind say that he would not be able to come to Liaodong for the time being. Take the risk! Then wait until Sibaile and your troops withdraw, and then he will start to attack again, while using high-ranking officials and rich salary to buy off my team, while his mad dog army suddenly rushed to Ningyuan City and put me to death!"

"This is just one of the possibilities." Huang Taiji said slowly: "This little mad dog is in the dark. If he is determined to kill you, he has a lot of ways. Killing you by force is a way. Buy your cronies to kill you." Getting rid of you is also a way, and even sending assassins to get rid of you is not impossible! But after careful analysis, I think that this method is the most likely for the little mad dog—he first pretended not to come to Liaodong to make you take it lightly, and then His direct army sneaked into Liaodong, and then asked the imperial court to make a decree, either to promote you to an official, or to transfer your post, to trick you out of Ningyuan City and kill you with one knife. Finally, his army suddenly entered Ningyuan City to deter you. Your confidantes, and then slowly split up and buy your confidantes, and uproot your power in Liaodong! In this way, whether it is the army of Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, or the army in Ningyuan City, all casualties can be wiped out. Reduce to the minimum!" (Master Zhang: Damn the sun, this time he was finally guessed by Huang Taiji once.)
"Damn it! This mad dog! It's so dark!" The head of the Shanzong cursed, and then hurriedly asked Huang Taiji: "Si Baylor, what do you think I should do?"

"If that mad dog is determined to alienate and buy your team, then it is absolutely impossible for you to fight against him." Huang Taiji said firmly: "No matter how much money you have, it is not as good as the money of the Ming Dynasty court." A lot! No matter how big the official position you give, it is impossible to exceed the official position given by the Ming Dynasty court! Behind that little mad dog is the old eunuch Wei who fully supports him. He will never be rejected by the Ming Dynasty court. , so if you compete with him for money or officials, you will never be able to beat him!"

"Then...then what should I do?" The head of the Shanzong knew that Huang Taiji's words were true, and he also knew that Wei Zhongxian completely treated Young Master Zhang as his own son, and he would not win the fight for power in the officialdom with Young Master Zhang.Speaking of this, the head of Shanzong's heart was shocked, he looked at Huang Taiji suspiciously, and thought: "Is this dog Jiannu here to take advantage of the fire? Force me to surrender to him with Ningyuan City?"

"You must suspect that I'm here to scare you and trick you into surrendering, right?" Huang Taiji saw the thoughts of the leader of the Shanzong, and said with a dark smile: "If you think so, then you are very wrong. .To tell you the truth, I came here today not only to remind you not to be fooled by Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, but also to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" The head of the Shanzong asked nervously.Huang Taiji remained calm, and replied flatly: "You give me Shanhaiguan, and I will give you the official position of Liaodong Supervisor of Ming Dynasty."

"You gave me the position of Liaodong Supervisor? How do you give it?" The head of the Shanzong was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Also, Shanhaiguan is in the hands of Xiong Tingbi, how can I give it to you?"

"Master Futai, everyone is smart, so don't pretend to be confused." Huang Taiji said with a sly smile: "You think I really don't know, you have a lot of internal responses in Shanhaiguan to prevent emergencies? When necessary, You can donate Shanhaiguan to us at any time, in exchange for your high-ranking official, rich salary, glory and wealth? Also, if you do these things, if you don’t have enough eyeliner in Shanhaiguan, how can you prevent Shanhaiguan’s army from suddenly attacking you? ——Don't worry, I won't be so stupid as to ask your Ningyuan army to go to Shanhaiguan, our Dajin army will only take it by ourselves, and you are still the Liaodong governor who sticks to the isolated city of Ningyuan!"

The leader of the Shanzong didn't speak any more, he was only thinking nervously in his mind.Huang Taiji observed the situation and warned: "My lord Futai, I have said my ugly words before, and now is your last chance! If you dedicate Shanhaiguan to us, then the capital of Manzi will have no danger to defend. No matter how stubborn the Emperor Manzi is, You can only agree to the peace agreement of Dajin’s tribute to the mutual market, and use the recognition of our Dajin’s independence in exchange for Shanhaiguan! And you, stick to the isolated city of Ningyuan, and kill tens of thousands of enemies—it’s just that our Dajin army likes to snatch the corpses back and burn them. That's why we didn't get many heads! When the time comes, we will return Shanhaiguan to you, and the barbarian court will reward you for meritorious deeds. Who else is there besides you for the position of Governor of Liaodong?"

"But what if the imperial court resolutely refuses to agree to your peace agreement?" the head of the Shanzong asked suddenly.Huang Taiji smiled and replied: "Then you will become Marshal Mao Wen and Long Mao who stick to the enemy's rear. The barbarian court wants you to contain our Dajin and cut off our Dajin's food road. Your military pay, weapons and supplies will still pass through The sea routes are sent to Ningyuan in an endless stream, so that you can earn as much as you want, sell as you want, even if you don’t want to make a fortune! And at that time, only your army existed in Liaodong, and the barbarian court could not block it. Are you the governor of Liaodong?"

"Think about it carefully." Huang Taiji said slowly: "If Shanhaiguan is in the hands of Xiong Tingbi's old fool, then your deadly enemy Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, may sneak into Liaodong at any time, kill you, and let you sleep. No peace! But if Shanhaiguan falls into the hands of our Dajin, then you can attack if you advance, and defend if you retreat, and you will be invincible!"

The blue veins on the forehead of the leader of the Shanzong were throbbing, and he gritted his teeth for a long time. The leader of the Shanzong suddenly laughed and said with a smile: "Sibeile, you are really clever. You said that I sacrifice Shanhaiguan now, which is my last chance to survive-but I will sacrifice it now." Going out of Shanhaiguan is not the last chance for you Dajin?"

"You're right, now is basically the last chance for us Daikin." Huang Taiji admitted frankly, "If we don't seize this opportunity to take Shanhaiguan and take the strategic initiative, then we will wait until Zhang Haogu The little mad dog freed his hand, our Dajin army is really not sure to defeat him head-on on the battlefield, if unfortunately we lose, then our Dajin will be doomed! So we can only take Shanhaiguan and let the barbarian capital be safe It can be defended, so that our Dajin army can stand in an undefeated situation of advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending!" After finishing speaking, Huang Taiji grinned at the head of Shanzong again, and asked: "How is it? Master Futai, cooperation will benefit both , two losers, have you considered it?"

The leader of the Shanzong was silent again. After thinking for a long time, the leader of the Shanzong gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's cooperate! But I also said ugly things in front of me. That old fool of Xiong Tingbi is not easy to fool now. He is also guarding against me now." Well, if you expect my neiying to open the gate of Shanhaiguan, you don't have much confidence. So you have to be prepared, if Neiying can't open the gate, you can use other methods to break the city."

"Then what can you do to help us take Shanhaiguan?" Huang Taiji asked tentatively.The leader of Shanzong smiled darkly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, that old fool Sun Chengzong taught me this method. When he inspected Shanhaiguan before, he found a major weakness in Shanhaiguan!"

"What weakness?" Huang Taiji asked nervously.The leader of Shanzong replied with a sly smile: "Jiaoshan, Taipingding! The highest point is only six miles away from the Shanhaiguan pass city. If the Hongyi cannon with a range of ten miles is placed at that position, the shells can go over the pass wall and directly hit the Shanhaiguan pass city. Any position! Sun Chengzong's old fool has discovered this major danger, so he dare not just guard Shanhaiguan, let me build a city in Ningyuan, provide a buffer for Shanhaiguan, and attack you from behind when necessary."

"We only have the five Hongyi cannons you gave us that can shoot ten miles, and the others can only shoot three or four miles." Huang Taiji said calmly: "Master Futai, a good man will do his best, help me get a few more come on."
