Chapter 105: Spy War

If Lu Wanling only said the name of Da Yuer, Huang Taiji would definitely not be able to think about it. Master Zhang was trying to beat his wife. But Lu Wanling said that his wife was only twelve years old. Huang Taiji immediately woke up and smiled and said, "It turns out that little man Zhang Haogu is interested in Bumubutai (the name of Empress Xiaozhuang). If he has the ability, just snatch Bumubutai from my arms. It doesn't matter. Anyway, even if he snatched Bumubutai away, I'm afraid he can't stand it."

"Dog Manzi, I'm going to peel your dog skin alive!" Huang Taiji was so envious that his thirteen-year-old brother Dorgon couldn't help but curse him. - The reason why Dorgon was angry was of course known to Mr. Zhang, but Lu Wanling didn't know, so he was so scared that he quickly put his forehead on the ground and screamed: "God Khan, please spare me, Master Beile, this is not what the slave said, it was said by the dog barbarian Zhang Haogu!"

"Don't be afraid, Dorgon didn't mean you." Nuerhaci didn't care about taking advantage of Master Zhang's mouth behind his back, but just asked Lu Wanling with a smile: "Dog slave, from what you said, Zhang and other little barbarians can do nothing at all. They don't have the courage, can't fight, can only brag and be very lustful, isn't that true? Then is he still greedy for money?"

"Khan, you are so wise!" Lu Wanling exaggeratedly shouted: "The little barbarian Zhang Haogu really has no courage, no war, only knows how to flatter, is lustful and greedy, and is useless at all!"

Nuerhaci laughed, as if he was very satisfied with Lu Wanling's answer. It was not until this moment that Nuerhaci slowly opened the letter from Master Zhang brought by Lu Wanling and handed it to the most loyal slave Fan Wencheng to translate and recite it. Their style and tone were very literary like a nerd who was stupid in studying. The beginning was a passage of saints and words like Confucius said. The Jiannu general who had a lower level of education than Master Zhang yawned straight. Nuerhaci shouted angrily: "Think about the key point, what did the little barbarian of Zhang say in the letter?"

"Zha." Fan Wencheng agreed respectfully, picked out the words piled up and began to read the key points - in fact, the key content was very simple. Master Zhang told Nuerhaci that he was ordered to serve as the military preparation in Jinzhou, with the purpose of eliminating Jiannu and breaking Shenyang. Unfortunately, Master Zhang's troops and food are not yet ready, and Gao Di did not agree to him attack Shenyang, and only allowed him to attack Haizhou. So Master Zhang gave Nuerhaci three choices, one is goodness.

The second is to withdraw the Haizhou garrison and give it to Haizhou; the second is to let Nuerhaci lead the main force of Jiannu to fight at the city of Haizhou. Master Zhang wants Nuerhaci to taste his own strength. As for the third choice, Master Zhang, who is kind and kind, told Nuerhaci that if Nuerhaci is afraid of death and does not want to be captured by him and then executed by Lingchi, he will quickly lead the whole family and Jiannu army to surrender. Otherwise, when Master Zhang's heavenly soldiers arrive, the Jiannu army will be filled with powder!

Before Fan Wencheng finished his belief in Master Zhang, the generals of Jiannu had already laughed out loud. Such letters, Yang Hao, Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen, had written to Nuerhaci, and their tone was not as stupid as Master Zhang. Nuerhaci also laughed so hard that he could tell jokes. It seems that after I caught him, I really can't kill him immediately. I have to keep him to make me happy and smile." After laughing, Nuerhaci pointed at Lu Wanling and shouted: "Dog slave, go back and tell the little man Zhang or something. If you want Haizhou, you can bring troops to see me. I will accompany you at any time!"

"Yes, yes, I must have brought the original words of the Khan." Hearing that Nuerhaci's tone was not going to kill the messenger, Lu Wanling naturally kowtowed happily and agreed. Huang Taiji asked over there, "Barma Lu Wanling, I ask you, since that little barbarian Zhang Haogu is planning to attack Haizhou, why are he still desperately repairing the Jinzhou city defense?"

"Go back to Master Beile, Zhang Haogu's little man Xiu Jinzhou for himself." Lu Wanling explained: "Zhang Haogu's little man Xiu Jinzhou wanted to attack Haizhou, but he was greedy for life and feared death and did not dare to lead troops to the battlefield himself. He just planned to let Sun Chengzong's assistants Ma Shilong and Man Gui lead troops to attack. He stayed behind himself, and he was afraid that after the army was sent out, the army of the Jin Dynasty would take advantage of the situation to attack Jinzhou, so he used the excuse to build a granary and strive to repair the Jinzhou city walls so that he would not even have the opportunity to stand firm and wait for aid."

"How do you know these things?" Huang Taiji asked. Lu Wanling kowtowed and replied: "Back to Master Beile, I am the one who brought Zhang Haogu's little maniac from the capital to Jinzhou. He is his confidant. He doesn't have to go to the battlefield. When we discussed how to attack Haizhou, Zhang Haogu's little maniac said in front of the slave."

Huang Taiji nodded and asked again: "So when will Zhang Haogu's little barbarian plan to attack Haizhou?" Lu Wanling answered honestly: "Back to Master Beile, Zhang Haogu's little barbarian was still waiting for food and grass and reinforcements. When the food and reinforcements arrived, they attacked. However, after Zhang Haogu's little barbarian came to Jinzhou, he found that the amount of grain in Jinyou's garrison was in conflict with the accounts. He was in a lawsuit with Jinyou's magistrate Jin Qi's corruption in the military rations. Jin Qi's confidant of Ningqian's military rations. Yuan Chonghuan tried to protect Jin Qi's efforts to refuse to send troops to reinforce Jinzhou. The reinforcements could not reach Jinzhou for the time being, so they could not send troops for a while."

"When will the 100,000 s of military rations that Gaodi allocated to Zhang Haogu to Jinzhou?" Huang Taiji asked all the most concerned questions of Jiannu. Lu Wanling replied respectfully: "Back to Master Beile, the batch of grains and grass was transported to Jinzhou before the end of the year. However, because the grains in Jinyoutun were inconsistent with the accounts and were not enough for the troops attacking Haizhou, the amount of military rations that Gaodi promised to give to Jinzhou was no longer 100,000 s, but 150,000 s, and ten sharp siege weapons, red barbarian cannons and a large number of gunpowder shells bought from the Folang Jimen."

"150,000 stones of grain! Red Barbarian Cannon!" All Jiannu were greedy and almost drained out of the water. After Nuerhaci swallowed his saliva, he exchanged a glance with Huang Taiji, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The bold dog barbarian dares to bully me by lies? Who is that little barbarian who Zhang is? Give him as much food and grass as he wants? Come on, take down this dog barbarian and behead him outside the hall and show him!"

"Ta!" The guards in the hall agreed in unison, rushed up together, and easily pressed Lu Wanling on the ground and dragged it out. Lu Wanling was so scared that he was scattered. He struggled to be dragged by the Jiannu guards. A long large water stain was left on the ground of the water-milled blue bricks. He cried and said, "Sweat, it's unfair! It's unfair! What I said is the truth! The governor of Jinzhou, in charge of food and fodder. Zhang Haogu's barbarians had to handle the accounts. Gao Di really wanted to send Zhang Haogu 150,000 stones of food! Zhang Haogu is the godson of Wei Zhongxian of Nine Thousand Years. Nine Thousand Years said in the court that he would give him as much food and so on. Gao Di dared not to give anything he wanted! Unfair, unfair-!"

"It seems that it's not fake." Nuerhaci and Huang Taiji nodded each other, knowing that pustules like Lu Wanling would definitely not be lies at this moment. At that moment, Nuerhaci waved his hand and shouted, "Let him go." Jiannu's guard stopped after his order. Lu Wanling survived his death. Naturally, he was so scared that he cried bitterly, kowtowed and said loudly: "Thank you for your good khan's grace, thank you for your good khan's grace..."

"Lu Wanling, you said just now that you want to be a slave for me, isn't it true?" Nuerhaci changed his smile and said with a smile: "If you want to be a slave for me, you want gold, silver and beauty, it's easy. After returning to Jinzhou, once 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 city of Jinzhou, if you open the gate of Jinzhou for me again, even if you want to marry my daughter, it is not impossible."

……………………

When Lu Wanling returned to Jinzhou happily with a handful of gold, silver and jewelry, it was already the sixth day of November of the fifth year of the Tianqi period, and the restoration of the city wall in Jinzhou City had already reached a full-scale stage. Because time was tight, the lack of good stones, the military and civilians in Jinzhou could only build the city wall with rammed earth and old bricks. Although the progress was rapid, Mao Yuanyi, who was commanding the project, was worried and said to Master Zhang who came to inspect the progress of the project: "Mr. Zhang, if there are not enough stones, this city wall may not be strong there. When Jiannu attacked the city, it would be fine if there were no red barbarian cannons. If there were red barbarian cannons, the city wall would probably not be able to withstand a few cannons."

"It's okay, I've considered this a long time ago." Master Zhang shook his head and pointed to a construction site in the city and said, "Did you see that the construction site is rushing to build 800 water dragons for fire-fighting and water spitting. When it is cold and freezing, I will let the soldiers spray water on the city wall and completely freeze the city wall. Such an ice stone wall is several times stronger than the city wall made of bluestone. Even if Jiannu had red barbarian cannons, it would not hurt the city wall at all."

"Ice City Wall?" Mao Yuanyi's eyes lit up, and she admired Master Zhang's careful calculations. However, Mao Yuanyi was also worried and asked again: "Mr. Zhang, will the climate be so cold this year? You see, it's November, and it hasn't fallen in Jinzhou yet. I'm afraid that the climate this year will not be so cold."

Of course, Master Zhang didn't dare to say that in history books, he saw that the climate would be particularly cold this year, so cold that even the sea surface was frozen, which led to the annihilation of the defenders of Juehua Island. He just looked up at the gray sky and said with a smile: "It's okay, I understand some astronomy and geography. I look at the astronomical phenomena at night. I predict that this winter will inevitably be extremely cold, and dripping water will turn into ice. It is estimated that it will snow in Jinzhou in a few days."

"Can Lord Zhang still watch astronomy at night?" Mao Yuanyi asked skeptical and worriedly: "Mr. Zhang, even if the weather is extremely cold this winter, if Jiannu did not come to attack the city at the coldest time, but waited until the ice melted and snow melted before attacking Jinzhou, what should we do?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Master Zhang smiled even happier, patted Lu Wanling's shoulder who had just returned to report his life, and said with a smile: "With Brother Lu Nian help, when will Jiannu come to attack Jinzhou, we have the final say? - Brother Lu Nian, do you think so?"

"Brother Zhang Nian, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?" Lu Wanling asked with a pale face and tremblingly. Master Zhang smiled and said to Lu Wanling: "Brother Lu Nian, why are you pretending? I don't know your temper? When I was in Shenyang, did you not call yourself a slave in front of Nuerhaci, and accepted Nuerhaci's benefits and agreed to be an insider and report every move in Jinzhou City to Jiannu Nuerhaci?"

Speaking of this, Master Zhang looked at Lu Wanling, who was already trembling with his legs, and smiled and said, "Brother Lu Nian, don't be afraid. At that time, I will report to the court that you are the inner supporter of Jiannu and lead Jiannu into a trap. You have made contributions and no guilt. However, who is Jiannu who is in contact with you in Jinzhou City? You have to ask for advice quickly. I can arrange for someone to secretly monitor them and catch them all in one place. Otherwise, I will specially bring the torture expert from the East Factory from the capital, but it will be useful."

"I will, I will, I will do anything." Lu Wanling's face was pale and he raised his hand to surrender with great awareness of the current affairs. Ma Shilong and Man Gui, who were following Master Zhang, were stunned. Looking at Master Zhang's eyes, it was like looking at aliens...

…………

With the cooperation of Lu Wanling, the "Insider of Jiannu", Master Zhang's indirect control of the Jiannu's army was inevitably more handy. He sent several fake information to Jiannu every few days, such as the preparation progress of the food and grass to the rear, the recruitment of reinforcements, and who was the surname of the reinforcements general? Leng was fooled by the two old foxes, Nuerhaci and Huang Taiji. He suppressed his itch and waited for Master Zhang's subsequent food and grass to transport it to Jinzhou, and waited for the sheep to be fattened before slaughtering it. However, there were also accidents. At least Master Zhang's mortal enemy Fan Wencheng was a little suspicious and suggested using the counter-espionage strategy of the Jiannu army to test the authenticity of Lu Wanling's intelligence. Nuerhaci and Huang Taiji, who were also suspicious, immediately adopted it.

Fan Wencheng's plan was very sinister, instructing a Han gentry from Haizhou who was willing to be a slave to Jiannu to send someone to Jinzhou to contact Mr. Zhang, saying that he was unwilling to be poisoned by Jiannu and was willing to act as an internal agent when Mr. Zhang attacked Haizhou, and opened the city gate to welcome Mr. Zhang's army into the city. Slaughtered two birds with one stone to test the authenticity of Lu Wanling's intelligence, and could also lure the Ming army into the Jiannu ambush circle in the future. But unfortunately, Fan Wencheng's tricks were effective against Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, but for Mr. Zhang, they were really a real show of their skills.

"What is the name of the Haizhou gentry who voluntarily surrendered? What official position is held on Jiannu?" Master Zhang turned his triangle eyes cunningly and asked in a deep thought. Ma Shilong replied respectfully: "Go to Lord Zhang, the Haizhou gentry who had originally surrendered is Yu Xuan. He was a scholar of our dynasty. After the fall of Liaodong, he was poisoned by Jiannu. He also heard that we were preparing to restore Haizhou, so he voluntarily served as an internal supporter and did not hold an official position on Jiannu."

"Yu Xuan?" Master Zhang had never heard of such a traitor in history, but after a long time of thinking, Master Zhang gritted his teeth and ordered: "Promise him and rewarded him with fifty taels of silver, so that the messenger would repay Yu Xuan. He said that our army would attack Haizhou in the late lunar month and ask him to prepare for the support."

"Mr. Zhang, are we careful? The last general is your past lesson." Ma Shilong, who had been involved in a treacherous surrender plan, said carefully. Master Zhang shook his head and said firmly: "I promise him, I have my own opinions!" After that, Master Zhang patted Song Xiance next to him again and ordered seriously: "Master Song, let Lu Wanling send this news to Jiannu immediately. It must be fast, otherwise Lu Wanling may have suspicion."

"Boss, are you sure this Yu Xuan is a false surrender?" Song Xiance asked cautiously. Master Zhang continued to shake his head and replied in a deep voice: "There is insufficient information, I can't tell whether he really surrenders or fake internal responses - but I know what death is! Without sacrificing this piece that doesn't know the truth or the fake, we can't get time to prepare for war!"
