Wang Zhichen took a deep breath when he heard this.

When he looked at the corpses of Mongolian soldiers all over the ground again, the symbol of money flashed in his eyes.

This is not a dead body!

It's obviously gold!

When it comes to making mummies, any experienced Taoist priest can do it. Not only can they make elixirs, they are also good at refining people...

Zu Dashou was even more excited and gave the order immediately.

"He Kegang, take people to fish out the bodies in the sand river for me immediately!"

"There's one missing, I'll use you to make up the number!"

Chapter 280 I heard that monks can know destiny

Just as Wang Zhichen and Zu Dashou were collecting corpses with golden light in their eyes, Zhu Youxiao led the central army to the foot of Qianshan Mountain.

Qianshan, located in Anshan, Liaoning in later generations, now belongs to Anshan Post, Liaoyang Prefecture.

Liaoyang Prefecture is surrounded by water on all sides, but there is a gap here, which is also the only passage to enter Liaoyang without crossing the river.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong on the mountain!"

Soon after entering the foot of Qianshan Mountain, Sun Chengzong pointed at the mountain and frowned.

"Normally, when a large army passes by, birds should be startled, but this mountain is too quiet!"

Zhu Youxiao looked up and saw that everything was quiet.

Although there is no wind today, the grass and trees on the mountain are motionless, which is really suspicious!

But then, he smiled calmly and turned to look at Lu Xiangsheng beside him.

"Go, tell Dingguo to fire a few cannons at the mountain!"

"I want to see if there are any Jiannu ambushes up there!"

Lu Xiangsheng clasped his fists and saluted, then turned his horse around and headed to the back of the team.

On the mountain, Dorgon clenched his fists when he saw the Ming army suddenly stop.

In order to prepare for this ambush, he rushed here from Shenyang in the dark yesterday with the Bordered White Banner. It was more than a hundred miles, and his legs were almost broken, but he finally arrived here before dawn.

If the Ming army moves forward another hundred meters, they will be within their attack range!

But why did his father stop?

Cooking a meal?

Seems a bit early, doesn't it?

While he was wondering, he suddenly discovered that a group of Ming soldiers had broken away from the main army and were fiddling with something on the ground.

Soon, a series of thudding sounds were faintly heard coming from that direction.

Looking at the black dots flying towards the mountain from the Ming army, Dorgon immediately thought of the information brought back by the defeated soldier of the Zhenghong Banner.

"Oh no! It's artillery!"

Before he could think of a way to deal with it, he saw the shells whistling and falling more than a hundred meters away from him.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A series of explosions were accompanied by flames, and countless branches, wood chips and the smoke produced by the explosions splashed everywhere.

Several soldiers with white flags were killed on the spot, and others were splashed with water and could not help but run around howling in pain.

Zhu Youxiao had been paying attention to the situation on the mountain. When he saw people moving around, he gave a decisive order.

"Keep bombing for me!"

"The cavalry is ready to go!"

When the order reached Li Dingguo, the little guy immediately grinned.

He loves having sex the most!

Boom boom boom boom…

Another round of artillery shells was fired, and flames rose everywhere on the mountain.

After a winter, the dead branches and fallen leaves accumulated in the mountains and forests were gradually ignited by the shells, and thick smoke spread.

"Cough cough!"

Dorgon covered his mouth and nose and looked at the Ming army at the foot of the mountain with reluctance.

His Bordered White Banner had less than 10,000 men, while the Ming army at the foot of the mountain had no less than 50,000!

Seeing that the ambush was no longer possible, staying here would only lead to death...

He turned and gave an order to the person next to him.

"withdraw!"

"Go to Liaoyang!"

The soldiers of the Bordered White Banner, who were beaten to a pulp by the explosion, heard the order and ran down the mountain as if they had been pardoned.

Of course, they were not stupid enough to run towards the Ming army, but instead ran all the way south along the mountainside.

Zhu Youxiao waited for a long time at the foot of the mountain, but saw no one show up. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up to these Jian slaves in his heart.

You are so damn patient!

This kind of mentality is somewhat inconsistent with historical facts!

But I want to see whether these guys can really endure it or they will all be blown to death.

He ordered Lu Xiangsheng again.

"Give me another round of bombing!"

When the third round of shells landed in the mountains and forests, the raging forest fire had already spread to an area of ​​hundreds of meters!

That’s three hundred shells!

"Your Majesty, this fire..." Sun Chengzong pointed to the mountain with some hesitation, "I heard that there seem to be many temples on it..."

Zhu Youxiao subconsciously asked back: "Monk?"

Sun Chengzong nodded.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

"That's okay, just burn it!"

"I heard that monks can know their destiny and predict the time of their own death. I believe they have already made preparations for what happened today."

"If you can't predict it, you are fooling the people. Keeping such a fake monk will be a disaster."

Sun Chengzong was stunned!

He is indeed the bloodline of Emperor Hongwu, and he is not soft-hearted towards monks!

But until the fire spread down the mountain and there was still no sight of the Jiannu escaping from inside, Zhu Youxiao began to wonder if he had overestimated Dorgon.

"keep going!"

"Go to Liaoyang!"

"I want to see if they dare to set an ambush on the road!"

Qianshan is less than a hundred miles away from Liaoyang. Although the army marched slowly, it arrived at the foot of Yanglei Mountain, southeast of Liaoyang, in the evening.

Zu Dashou and Wang Zhichen had already arrived here earlier with the Guanning Army and the Right Route Army. Looking at the half of the sky in the direction of Qianshan that was illuminated red, Zhu Youxiao casually asked them about the situation of the past two days.

When he heard that Zu Dashou had captured Abai alive, he was immediately excited.

Compared to him, the more than 3,000 war horses captured in the Battle of Huangniwa were all ignored by him!

Before there were Daishan and Yuetuo, and now Abai has been caught!

I just don’t know if the upcoming wars will satisfy my desire to collect and allow me to capture the old slave’s other sons alive!

"Tell me, what is the current situation in Liaoyang City."

The king's minister clasped his fists and replied, "Your Majesty, there are about 60,000 soldiers guarding the city."

"Among them, there are about 30,000 Mongolian and Han slave soldiers, and 20,000 Jian slaves."

"Among the Jiannu, there are more than 4,000 Bordered Blue Banners, more than 8,000 Plain Blue Banners, more than 7,000 Plain White Banners, and more than 6,000 Bordered White Banners!"

"The defending commander is the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner, Jirgalang!"

"By the way, Manggurtai, Duoduo, and Dorgon are also in the city!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at him with some surprise: "You actually snooped so thoroughly? It seems that I have to reward you with something. Tell me, what do you want!"

Wang Zhichen cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "I dare not take credit for it. It's mainly because the Zhenglan and Zhengbai flags just came from Shenyang this morning to reinforce us."

"They walk around so brazenly that it's hard not to be spotted."

"Dorgon entered Liaoyang at the end of the afternoon, but the white bannermen under his command seemed a little embarrassed, covered in dust and dirt, as if they had just escaped from a coal factory."

Chapter 281: Those killed by Lord Mao this time should all be Jiannu, right?

Wang Zhichen had made it so obvious, how could Zhu Youxiao not understand? The Jiannu who had been preparing to ambush them on Qianshan Mountain was actually Dorgon!

Then he smiled contentedly.

Daishan, Yuetuo and Abai have been captured.

Now Huang Taiji has sent Dorgon, Dodo, Jirgalang and Manggurtai to me. If I don't accept them, wouldn't I be letting him down?

The old slave gave birth to a total of sixteen sons. Except for the eldest son Chu Ying who was killed for drawing circles, the remaining fifteen are all alive and well.

So........

Collection!

A family will only feel happy when they are together, right?

Liaoyang is very close to Yanglei Mountain!

It was so close that it was less than ten miles away, which meant it was completely within the range of the Tao!

Just considering that it was inconvenient to catch pigs at night, Zhu Youxiao generously allowed the Jian slaves in the city to have a good night's sleep.

As for whether Dorgon and others could understand it, he said he didn't care at all.

The next morning.

After washing up, Zhu Youxiao took the chewing gum handed to him by Youtong and put it into his mouth.

This kind of chewing gum is absolutely not the junk stuff made of various glues in later generations, but a pure natural herbal product.

Take cloves, licorice, cinnamon and other ingredients, grind them into powder, then mix them with honey and knead them into pills. They are delicious and leave a lingering fragrance.

All medicines have side effects, and chewing gum is no exception.

The side effects of this thing are moistening the lungs, improving eyesight, nourishing the kidneys, and improving essence...

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn’t care about these side effects at all. He just wanted his breath to sound fresher when he talked to people.

As soon as I walked out of the tent, I saw Sun Kangwang walking towards me with a general who was over fifty years old.

"Your Majesty, I am Mao Wenlong, the General of the Dongjiang River.

Zhu Youxiao stared at Mao Wenlong for a moment, then laughed and walked forward to help him up.

"Hahahaha, Lord Mao is finally here!"

"Did the journey go smoothly?"

Mao Wenlong immediately recounted in detail all the battles he had fought since he came ashore.

In fact, these things had been mentioned in previous reports, so Zhu Youxiao had been observing him while he was narrating.
