Chapter 336 Everyone has their own abacus

"Miss Sun Zhongyu, please come in. Lord Shaobao and Lord Lu Wanling are waiting for you inside." Sun Zhongyu, who called himself Sun Zhongshou's sister, was led outside the tent of Master Zhang's bedroom. The shop politely said to Sun Zhongyu, who was down and glad to Sun Zhongyu, "But I'm sorry, for Zhang Shaobao's safety and for your own good, you must first undergo an inspection to see if you have any weapons on you." After that, the shop irrelevantly ignored Sun Zhongyu's agreement and waved his hand. The two young men immediately surrounded him, stretched out their hands together, and searched carefully on Sun Zhongyu.

"Mr. Jun, even if you search for your body, can you find a girl?" Sun Zhongyu blushed and whispered: "Although I am a humble family, I am still a girl."

Before the small shop answered, a young man searched Sun Zhongyu with a sharp voice and rushing to answer: "Please rest assured, my girl, our two are the eunuchs who are the chief officers of the seven provinces, Xue Ziyi, and Eunuch Xue. They will not ruin your reputation." Another eunuch also smirked and said: "If the girl doesn't believe it, we can take off our pants and ask the girl to check it." Before he finished speaking, the Ming soldiers outside the tent had a lewd smile. Sun Zhongyu was embarrassed and angry, secretly hated but did not dare to speak, so he had to blush and let the two eunuchs search carefully on her. Fortunately, the two eunuchs searched inside and outside but couldn't find a weapon. The little shop then made a way out and made an invitation to Sun Zhongyu, and said with a smile: "Miss Sun, there is no problem, please."

"It's worthy of being the soldiers brought by Zhang Xiaomai Dog. It's really not a good thing!" Sun Zhongyu bit his silver teeth lightly, suppressed his anger and followed the small shop and walked into the tent, completely deaf about the negligent and lewd smiles of the Ming army around him. However, before entering the tent, Sun Zhongyu suddenly had this idea again, "What kind of person is Zhang Haogu's little mad dog who vowed to die with him? What does it look like? His adoptive father said that he is the most sinister poisonous snake with a gorgeous appearance but with a fangs to kill people! Some people say that he is as ugly as a pig, with a green face and fangs. When a child sees his face, he will have nightmares in the middle of the night! Some people say that he is vulgar, greedy for money and lust, drool when he sees silver and beauty, and as timid as a mouse, and he will pee his pants when he hears the shouts of killing. He is so lucky to win so many battles. What are these words true?

With endless questions, Sun Zhongyu entered the tent of Master Zhang and quietly looked up at the seat in the middle of the tent. Sun Zhongyu was inevitably a little dumbfounded. The young man sitting in the middle was actually very handsome, with long flowing hair dripping his shoulders, white skin, and beautiful face, although his beautiful face was full of illness, nothing could cover up his handsome appearance as a peerless beauty. At first glance, Sun Zhongyu almost thought that this man was just a woman disguised as a man.

Pretending to be beautiful girl! But when he looked carefully, Sun Zhongyu completely overturned his previous judgment, because although the man in front of him was handsome and delicate, his bright eyes were full of firmness and resoluteness. Two cold and electric gazes swept on Sun Zhongyu, which actually made Sun Zhongyu feel deeply in his heart, as if the deepest secrets in his heart had been exposed in front of him, making Sun Zhongyu both vigilant, but also slightly beating his heart and a fever on his face.

While Sun Zhongyu looked at Master Zhang, Master Zhang must have looked at Sun Zhongyu carefully. As Lu Wanling said, Sun Zhongyu is indeed a rare beauty with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, skin as snow. Although he is not old, his figure is already exquisite and convex. The place where he should be thin and the place where he should be fat is very inverted, which is a bit inverted to the potential of intoxicating all living beings. However, Master Zhang is also very clear that the charming beauty in front of him must be not just the special envoy of the Shanzong. She must have shouldered a special mission. The first to break the deadlock was Lu Wanling, who said to Sun Zhongyu in a big manner: "Miss Sun, have you seen it? This master is the famous Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, why don't you salute him quickly?"

"He is really Zhang Haogu's little mad dog?" Sun Zhongyu's last trace of luck was broken. He hurriedly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Master Zhang, saying crisply and delicately: "The young woman kowtowed to Lord Zhang, the young security guard of the Ming Dynasty, and Lord Jin'an, and Lord Jin'an."

"I heard your accent, it seems that I am a native of Liaodong, right?" Master Zhang asked gloomyly. Sun Zhongyu felt a stern sound. He knew that although he had learned a lot of Chinese from Huang Taiji, he only had a Northeast accent, which was slightly different from the Central Plains dialect. It was basically difficult to hide from the ears of a treacherous hero like Master Zhang. However, Sun Zhongyu, who had been prepared for a long time, was not very anxious. He just replied according to the prepared response plan in advance: "Good Lord, the girl from Dongguan, Guangdong. In the second year of Tianqi, he followed his brother Sun Zhongshou to Liaodong to take office. At that time, the girl was only seven years old, so over the years, the girl had learned a Liaodong accent."

"Oh, so that's it." Master Zhang nodded, as if he agreed with Sun Zhongyu's explanation, and asked casually: "What's your name? Have you eaten?" Sun Zhongyu was stunned, not knowing what Master Zhang meant. Fortunately, Master Zhang quickly changed to a Shandong accent that Sun Zhongyu could understand and said: "Get up, are you Sun Zhongyu? Have you eaten?"

"Mr. Xie, the civilian girl is Sun Zhongyu. General Sun Zhongshou, the general of Ningyuan, is the second brother of the civilian girl." Sun Zhongyu stood up and replied in a pleasant voice: "Mr. Thanks to the gift of the civilian girl, the civilian girl has eaten in the military camp just now."

"That's good." Master Zhang nodded again and asked straight to the point: "I won't say much nonsense. What did Yuan Gouzhe and Sun Zhongshou send you to do? I don't have time to nag you, and I will finish it in one go."

"Sir, Lord Yuan and his brother sent my slave family to ask for mercy and spare their lives." Two crystal tears slid across Sun Zhongyu's white jade cheeks and said sobbing: "Over the years, my brother and Lord Yuan have done a lot of things that are sorry for the Ming court and the people of the Ming Dynasty for personal gain. They deserve to die. But many things, brother and Lord Yuan really did not do it on purpose, but were forced to that point by the situation. Now, Master Shaobao, you personally mention the 100,000 royal army to fight the rebellion. Brother and Lord Yuan regret it. I hope you can make a fuss and spare them for them to seek a pardon edict from the Ming Dynasty. They are willing to lead all the soldiers and civilians in Ningyuan to open the city to surrender, and then go north to kill slaves and make meritorious contributions to Lord Shaobao. Please be sure to be kind to the young master."

When he said this, Sun Zhongyu cried out in tears, but the two big eyes covered by tears kept turning around secretly, looking for an opportunity to take action. Unfortunately, Master Zhang refused to give her a chance to get close, and there were more than a dozen fully armed personal soldiers beside him. As long as Sun Zhongyu had a slight movement, these people would pounce on him like wolves and tigers, breaking Sun Zhongyu into pieces without hesitation. Sun Zhongyu had no choice but to temporarily suppress his excitement and wait for the opportunity calmly. After Sun Zhongyu finished speaking, Master Zhang said lightly: "Since Yuan Chonghuan wants to surrender, after this official reported to the court for his numerous crimes, why didn't he stop himself and apologize for himself, but instead openly changed his flag and rebel against the border and accepted the title of Jiannu? Now that the official's Northern Expedition Army is approaching, why did he figure it out again and want to surrender to him?"

"Because Lord Yuan was deceived by Jiannu." Sun Zhongyu was also prepared for this, and replied in tears: "In order to make our Ming army kill each other, Jiannu first deceived Lord Yuan and said that he would send reinforcements to Ningyuan. However, when the Ming Dynasty's first general Zhang Shaobao and Zhang army were approaching, Jiannu was afraid of your divine power, and did not dare to send troops. Lord Yuan and his brother did not dare to offend your divine power, so he developed the desire to abandon darkness and turn to the light again."

"So, if Jiannu really sent reinforcements to Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan and your brother would never surrender?" Master Zhang asked without hesitation. Sun Zhongyu did not dare to answer, but he knelt down again and choked and said, "Mr. Zhang, my brother and Lord Yuan really know that they were wrong. Please be kind and spare their lives. The only one is the young woman. As long as you are willing to let him go, the young woman is willing to be a cow and horse for you, build grass and hold rings, and repay your great kindness for life." After that, Sun Zhongyu covered her face and cried loudly, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were raining, and the cuckoo cried blood, which was extremely touching.

Sun Zhongyu's words were simply naked temptation, but unfortunately, Master Zhang didn't take this at all, but just sneered and admired Sun Zhongyu's passionate performance. He neither spoke nor comforted him. Instead, Lu Wanling winked at Master Zhang and said hypocritically: "Tanhualang, for the sake of Miss Sun, are you thinking about it?" As he said that, Lu Wanling also winked at Master Zhang who killed a chicken and wiped his neck, signaling Master Zhang to eat the candy-coated cannonball and spit it out. Master Zhang was unmoved and just asked coldly: "Since Yuan Gou Thief and your brother know that the doomsday is approaching and plan to surrender and save their lives, why not bind them to surrender yourself? But send a weak woman like you to test the attitude of my official?"

"Because...because..." Sun Zhongyu replied hesitantly: "Because my brother and Lord Yuan are both afraid, and you will kill them directly, so he sent a civilian daughter to ask for your opinion first. If you are willing to ask for a kind edict for your brother and Lord Yuan, then Lord Yuan and his brother will immediately open the city to surrender."

"What the implication is that if I refuse to ask for a pardon for them, they will fight to the death with me?" Master Zhang asked coldly. Of course, Sun Zhongyu did not dare to answer, but just cried silently. Master Zhang ignored her and coughed for a while and drank the medicine. Then he said lightly: "Sun Zhongyu, you are a weak woman, who actually has the courage to serve as the negotiator of the Ningyuan rebels. Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

"I am not afraid." Sun Zhongyu quickly threw out his hat and said coquettishly: "Because Lord Zhang, you are the number one hero in the Ming Dynasty. If you have the courage and responsibility, you will not attack a weak woman like me."

"The key is because you are beautiful, right?" Master Zhang sneered: "I am young and energetic, and I am at the age of unruly. When I see a beautiful woman like you begging, I will definitely not be willing to kill you like this, right?"

Sun Zhongyu's face turned red, and after a while, he said softly: "If you are kind to me, the young woman will be a slave and a servant, and serve the marquis for life, so as to repay the elder's kindness to his brother's life."

"Raise your face." Master Zhang ordered. Sun Zhongyu did not dare to be negligent, and slowly raised his pretty face as beautiful as a peony, allowing Master Zhang to carefully examine it. Master Zhang's face was silent at first, but after a long time of careful appreciation, Master Zhang finally showed a slight embarrassing smile on his face, and said shamelessly: "Okay, you will stay here tonight and make me feel comfortable serving the marquis. I can consider spareing your brother and sister's life."

"It turns out to be a lustful person!" Sun Zhongyu was happy and angry, but his pink face turned red. But at this moment, Zhang Shitou suddenly interrupted and said, "Young master, no, the imperial physician said, you can't get close to women now. Besides, Master Xiong is in Shanhaiguan, if he knows..."

"So what can he do? He has three wives and four concubines, so he doesn't allow me, the son-in-law, to take a maid?" Master Zhang muttered dissatisfied, but he couldn't help but bent down and cough violently. Zhang Shitou and the shop were both hammered and fed water, but they never worked. In desperation, Master Zhang had to wave his hand and order, "Take this woman down and detain her alone, wait until I have time... cough... let's talk about it later." Sun Zhongyu failed and could not find a close opportunity, so he had no choice but to follow Master Zhang's personal soldiers to issue the bill. When he was about to leave the bill, Sun Zhongyu turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang, if you can trust me, please let me serve your medicine, okay?"

"Stop talking, get out of here!" Zhang Shitou, who was about to be stolen, shouted in anger. Sun Zhongyu felt even more secretly hated and had to leave obediently. After Sun Zhongyu left, Lu Wanling was also taken out of the tent by Master Zhang's personal soldiers. As soon as they left, Master Zhang stopped coughing. Zhang Shitou immediately lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, this little girl's words are nothing true. You have seen it long ago. Why didn't you expose her? You still left her in the army?"

"Why am I willing to push back the gift from Yuan Chonghuan?" Master Zhang smiled and said, "If you send the order, no one is allowed to approach this little girl. If I go there and bring it there, it will be of great use."

………………………………………

The night passed quickly. The next morning, Mr. Zhang officially held a military meeting in Shanhaiguanzhong to determine the combat policy and the commander of the three routes. Because the first day he had convinced Xiong Tingbi, the most stubborn and oldest, Mr. Zhang's strategy of the Northern Expedition to be divided into three routes was undoubtedly approved. However, in the command of the main army, Mr. Zhang had a fierce dispute with Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi, who was worried about his son-in-law's condition, said that he would command the main force to go north first and serve as the leader of Jiannu.

In the task of fighting head-on, Master Zhang knew very well that his father-in-law was absolutely fine in fighting, but he was much inferior to Nuerhaci in adapting to the situation and commanding in the front. Therefore, Master Zhang insisted on commanding the main force himself. The father-in-law and son-in-law refused to give in to each other, and the quarrel was overturned, and no one could stop him. Finally, Master Zhang's eyes were red in an anxious manner and took out the Shangfang sword to intimidate him. Then he barely suppressed his father-in-law who was angry and passed the resolution to command the main force himself to compete head-on with Jiannu.

After a moment of discussion, the organization and the list of commanders of the Ming army and the list of commanders of the three routes and their deputy was finally confirmed. Master Zhang personally led the main force of the first route, and his deputy was Yuan Keli, the new governor of Liaodong and the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. The army was composed of the most combat-capable slave army, the Mangui iron cavalry and some Shanhaiguan army, with a total of 50,000 troops, and was responsible for the task of confronting the main force of Jiannu. The second route was Sun Chuanting, the governor of Datong, and Bi Ziyan, the deputy governor of Tianjin, with 30,000 troops. It was mainly composed of Xuanda army and Shaanxi army. There were also 3,000 Tianjin naval troops assisting in combat. The main task was

It was to besiege Ningyuan, trap the Shanzong army to death in Ningyuan city, and wait for an opportunity to go; the third route was another 50,000 troops, commanded by Xiong Tingbi, and his deputy was Sun Yuanhua, the army was mainly the Shanhaiguan army, the Sichuan army and the Denglai naval army. The Baigang soldiers with strong individual combat power were also on the third route. The main task was to protect the grain route and ensure the supply of food and grass. At the same time, as the general reserve team of the entire army, they would support two battlefields at any time. The Jimen Governor Yan Mingtai was in charge of Shanhaiguan and led some Jimen troops to ensure the safety of Shanhaiguan. At the same time, they organized civilians to transport food and supplies to supply the front-line army.

The soldiers are very fast. On September 12th, 130,000 troops were ready. Master Zhang immediately ordered the army to set out in three directions, and set out in sequence, taking two waters and land, and storms were storms like forests, ships on the sea were weaving, sails and flags were like clouds, and unparalleled momentum. After receiving the news, the rebels of the Shanzong were all looking like earth and were in panic all day long. Yuan Chonghuan used his old tricks to block the city gates, and at the same time he worked hard to strengthen the city defense, preparing to struggle to death.

Just wait for the miracle to happen. At this moment, there was finally a happy news from Jiannu. On the third day of the September 19th, the Jiannu army had a total of more than 140,000 people, composed of the main force of the Jiannu Seven Banners, the traitors, the Mongolian and the traitors, and the traitors of the traitors, and the traitors of the traitors of the Mongolian and the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the traitors of the sect. It is estimated that the army has arrived at least at Sanchahe and is ready to face the decisive battle with the Ming army. Unfortunately, the Jiannu army still did not intend to go south to Ningyuan to rescue the Shanzong rebels.

"Sect Master! Sect Master! Discover clearly!" At noon on September 15th, when the main force of the Ming army was less than forty miles away from Ningyuan, Sun Zhongshou, who was sent by Yuan Chonghuan to reconnaissance of the enemy, finally rolled and crawled into the lobby of the Liaodong Governor's Yamen, shouted to the restless members of the Shanzong in the hall: "The barbarians are divided into three groups, the first group is 50,000 people, led by Zhang Haogu Xiaomaigou himself, and have arrived at Caozhuang Post! The second group is led by Sun Chuanting, Datong, and has 30,000 troops. He has passed the Heizhuangwo Fort! The third group is led by the old barbarian Xiong Tingbi, and escorted a large amount of food and grass. It has now arrived at Liuzhou River!"

"Zhang Haogu's little mad dog is in the first barbarian army?" After hearing this news, Yuan Chonghuan's face turned pale - there was no way. Master Zhang's posture seemed to want to kill the rebels of the Shanzong in seconds! The other members of the Shanzong were all weak and their faces turned pale. Zu Dashou also screamed: "Did Zhang Haogu's little mad dog have made sure that Dajin won't do his best to rescue us. He planned to concentrate the elites to kill us Ningyuan first, and then use Ningyuan as the food and grass transfer place and gradually head north?"

Zu Dashou came to this conclusion, not because he lacked experience, but because Master Zhang's plan to go north by the third route is too variable. In addition to being able to fight according to the pre-booked strategy, the first route can completely attack the city on the spot after arriving in Ningyuan, the second route goes north to block the Jiannu reinforcements, and the third route continues to be responsible for transporting grain and protecting the grain. Basically, without obtaining intelligence support, even Nuerhaci and his son cannot figure out the tactical intentions of Master Zhang. So Shan

The members of the sect nodded one after another, thinking that Zu Dashou's words were justified. Master Zhang clearly wanted to get rid of them first. Whether they could survive depends on whether Ningyuan City Defense could withstand Master Zhang's bombing and persist until the source of Jiannu. In a timid manner, Yuan Chonghuan turned his eyes and called his confidant Zhang Guobing to the back hall, and whispered: "Arrang a few of the most reliable people to guard the pier outside the east gate, prepare a solid sea boat, prepare fresh water and dry food, and no one is allowed to call it."

Knowing that he was definitely not the opponent of Master Zhang, Yuan Chonghuan was ready to run away, but something that Yuan Chonghuan couldn't believe happened. In the evening, after Master Zhang's main army arrived at Ningyuan City, it not only did not attack the city immediately, but instead crossed Ningyuan and took the official road to go north. It set up a temporary camp south of Lianshan Post in the north of Ningyuan - note that it was a temporary camp that could be set off at any time, rather than a stable camp for long-term combat. After the next morning, the main force of the Ming army led the camp to continue north, and the second group of Sun Chuanting's troops arrived in Ningyuan set up a large camp outside the west gate of Ningyuan, with fences and antlers digging deep trenches, and posed for a long-term battle.

The enemy of the Shan Sect suddenly changed from the most terrifying Master Zhang to Sun Chuanting, who had no idea of ​​combat power. The members of the Shan Sect were ecstatic and stunned, and they also guessed that Mr. Zhang’s tactical intentions were too far behind Mr. Zhang’s father-in-law Xiong Tingbi. After guessing for a long time, they couldn’t figure out any of them. However, Zhang Guobing asked Yuan Chonghuan carefully: “Sect Master, should you send the Clippers to report to the Great Jin Khan and tell the Great Jin main force that Zhang Haogu’s little mad dog has already taken the main force to them?”

"Of course..." Yuan Chonghuan originally wanted to say that he would go and report it quickly, but when he said that, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly woke up and shouted wildly: "I understand! I understand! Zhang Haogu's little mad dog had known for a long time that the main force of the big gold would definitely not rescue us with all his strength, but would only hide from the other side of Jinzhou to watch the fire! So the little mad dog deliberately ignored us and directly led the main force to go north to fight with Jiannu! The purpose was to make Jiannu feel that our Shanzong had many uses, and would not abandon us casually, but would only fight with Zhang Haogu's mad dog honestly! The little mad dog would not have to extend the food route for hundreds of miles and run to the Sancha River line where there is sufficient water and it is difficult to cross to fight with Jiannu!"

"It makes sense. As long as our Shan Sect is still in Ningyuan for one day, Zhang Haogu's small mad dog's food road will be unsafe for one day, and the main force of the Dajin Sect will definitely not be willing to abandon us!" Other members of the Shan Sect suddenly realized. Zhang Guobing was surprised and asked again: "Sect Master, will he still report to the Dajin Khan?"

"Idiot!" Yuan Chonghuan cursed, "I told them this important news when I was stupid. What if they discovered the purpose of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog and retreated back to Sanchahe? Isn't our Ningyuan miserable? Let Zhang Haogu's little mad dog entangle them and make them unable to retreat in Jinzhou, so that Jiannu would not leave us alone! Hurry up, send the Clippers to report to Dajin Khan, and say that Zhang Haogu's main force had arrived in Ningyuan and surrounded Ningyuan. We are fighting bloody and resisting to the death. Please speed up the marching and send reinforcements to rescue us quickly!"
