In the shadows, Marco looked uncertain, gritting his teeth at the letter spread out in front of him, and then looking hideous. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He trembled and picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and the purple pen that used to be light and fluttering, but now it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

This is no better than sending someone to contact quietly, this kind of handwritten letter, but also wrote a strategic deployment of the Ming army, which can be regarded as fornicating with the enemy, once the matter is revealed, it will be the end of death and annihilation. Is it really worth it for the sake of the dispute?

Heaven and man were at war in his heart, and it was difficult to make up his mind for a long time, and Ma Zhiren beside him didn't dare to come out, so he shrank aside obediently and didn't say a word.

Mako's body trembled more and more, and he tried to convince himself, constantly thinking back to the humiliation he had received on Wang Dou's side. If Wang Dou can suffer a heavy loss after the letter is sent, it is worth taking this risk.

And maybe the Tartars will turn their attention to the side of the Jingbian Army, so he has made great contributions in Shimen Mountain, and in the future, the damned Wang Dou will also look at his own face.

He made up his mind, and finally made up his mind, put pen to paper, and quickly wrote a letter. He came from the era of noble and martial arts, in order to conform to the elegance, he had practiced calligraphy ruthlessly, and at this time Ma Ke wrote regular script, that is, the average talent could not compare with him.

However, Marco kept an eye on it, and resolutely did not sign his name or seal it, which was also to leave a way back for himself, even if the Tartar did not believe it, he would not go further.

In case such a thing is revealed, he also has room for argument, at present, he is in Daming, as the chief soldier of a town, and he has a good time, except for being like a grandson in front of Wang Dou, he is still satisfied with the rest, and there is no other idea.

In addition to this, he also drew a silk diagram with certain routes and finally put the silk diagram and letterhead into the envelope.

He didn't hand the envelope to Ma Zhiren immediately, but silently lit the cigarette stick again, and the curling smoke enveloped his body again, making his expression look indescribably gloomy.

After a long time, Ma Ke said with compassion: "Is the person you sent reliable?" ”

Ma Zhiren hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the handsome man is reliable." ”

Ma Zhiren stared sharply at Ma Zhiren for a while, closed his eyes and said, "I forgot, what's his name?" ”

Ma Zhiren hurriedly said: "Ma is loyal." ”

He said cautiously: "Dashuai, you forgot?" In the ninth year of Chongzhen, you saved the lives of his family, and from that day on, you were loyal to your brother and determined to die for you. Yesterday, when he went out to make contact, he put poison between his teeth, and if he didn't work, he killed himself to repay your kindness, and this man is definitely reliable. ”

Ma Ke suddenly opened his eyes, with an incomparably sharp look in his eyes, and Ma Zhiren trembled

Then Ma Ke said lightly: "Okay, when he comes back from his errands, he will be treated as a dead guard, and give his family in Shanhaiguan a hundred taels of silver." ”

Ma Zhiren's heart trembled, but when he saw Ma Ke glancing at him, his eyes were full of anger, and he said in a stiff tone: "Yes, the little one understands." ”

Ma Ke picked up the letterhead on the desk, stared at Ma Zhiren's eyes, and handed the letter to him: "Let's do something." ”

Ma Zhiren's face was pale, his forehead was also covered with sweat, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the small one will be arranged." ”

He took the letterhead in his arms and hurried out.

Ma Ke smoked a cigarette stick, looked at Ma Zhiren's figure thoughtfully, and saw that Ma Zhiren was about to step out of the tent, and suddenly said: "By the way, when Ma Duzhong went out yesterday, the journey was smooth?" ”

Ma Zhiren turned around and didn't understand a little, but he still replied: "It's generally smooth, it's just that the Jingbian military sentry rode out in all directions, but it took a lot of twists and turns." ”

Like a thunderclap, it hit Ma Ke's heart hard, and for a while, his face was so pale that there was no blood, and he said in a trembling voice: "You mean...... Ma is likely to ...... Met the Jingbian military sentry on the road? ”

He suddenly shouted, "Come back." ”

Ma Zhiren exclaimed: "Handsome ......"

Marco yelled anxiously, "Come back! ”

Ma Zhiren was stunned, and said authentically: "Big ...... Dashuai, what's wrong with you? ”

Ma Ke suddenly collapsed to the ground, and waved weakly at Ma Zhiren, with a cry in his tone: "Come back quickly." ”

Ma Zhiren finally reacted, looking at Ma Ke's strange appearance, he was frightened and hurriedly walked back.

He looked nervous, and he didn't know what was wrong with the big handsome, God and God.

But seeing that Ma Ke didn't know where to get the strength, he jumped up high, snatched the letter in his arms, and then quickly took out the fire fold, shook it, and set the letter on the spark, and quickly lit it, seeing Ma Zhiren next to him stunned, and he was even more confused.

It wasn't until all the letters were reduced to ashes that Marco breathed a sigh of relief, and he leaned on his desk, gasping for breath and palpitating.

As if he remembered something again, he looked at Ma Zhiren and shouted: "Go, go and kill that horse now, within half an hour, I want to see his head in front of me!" ”

Ma Zhiren's heart was frightened, the capriciousness of the handsome man made him feel like a tiger and wolf, he didn't dare to slack off, answered in a low voice, and hurriedly went out.

Seeing Ma Zhiren go out of the tent, Ma Ke seemed to be a few years old in an instant, and after a long time, he sighed: "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang." ”

At the end of the day, Wang Dou was woken up, and after listening to the report of the person in front of him, he said lightly: "I know." ”

On August 13, the 14th year of Chongzhen, early in the morning.

The morning glow showed a pink dawn on the horizon, looking from the air to the northeast of the Loess Ridge, from the Pingchuan under the mountain range to the west bank of the Xiaoling River, all of which were full of ants-like crowds.

The topography of this area is roughly high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the dry rivers flow vertically and horizontally along the northwest highlands and join the Xiaoling River in the east. These rivers form a flat land with convenient irrigation.

However, along Tianjiagou and further northeast, there is a narrow river valley area formed between Shimen Mountain and Xiaoling River. Meandering along this valley to the northwest, it can lead all the way to the Xiaoling River to the east of Jinzhou City.

And Tianjiagou is not far to the north, it is a place called the hand water camp, and the east of the river is not far from the Xiaoling River Fort. Xiaolinghe Fort was a post station in the Ming Dynasty, and the traffic on both sides of the river was frequent, because this section of the river was the main road for ferrying and boating, and many boatmen gathered here to form a camp.

At this time, the camp had already been occupied by the Qing army, and a deep trench was dug a hundred paces ahead, cutting off the connection between the mountain and the river.

At the same time, from the west side of the sailor's camp, the terrain is from low to high, with mountains undulating and undulating, running from east to west, like stairs, from north to south, until it is not far from the Loess Ridge. This is Shimen Mountain in the northeast of Rufeng Mountain in the east of Jinzhou City.

Compared with the past, there are not many Qing troops stationed on Shimen Mountain, and the fluttering banners are the Eight Banners Manchurian Zhengbai Banner and the Goryeo Army, with a total of less than 3,000 soldiers. Of course, thousands of miscellaneous servants Aha can also be regarded as combat power at critical moments.

These Qing troops looked down from the mountain and saw that the Pingchuan land in the southeast was densely packed with all kinds of banners of the Ming army, and the rolling men and horses seemed to fill the area between the mountains and the river.

If there are more than 10,000 people and horses, there is a sense of innumerability, how many Ming troops are afraid of more than 30,000 or 40,000 in front of them, right?

Even if he despised the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, this feeling of soldiers like a tide still made many Qing soldiers on the mountain breathe, and those Korean soldiers were even more colorless.

The main force of the Ming army, is it really going to attack Shimen Mountain? You have only a few people, can you keep this?

Huang Taiji, who was getting fatter and fatter in the mountain city of Rufeng, held a clairvoyant mirror and looked motionlessly at the Ming army in the east. Look at their black pressure on the sea of people, the boundless array, from south to north is slowly and constantly moving forward.

Looking at their banners, they should be Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, Tang Tong and other departments, among which Ma Ke and Tang Tong are the front army, and Wu Sangui is the rear army.

Huang Taiji also noticed that behind several large armies, the banner of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the Ming Kingdom, was also erected there, and Wang Dou, who he was most concerned about, and his wave, sun and moon flag, were also placed beside Hong Chengchou.

"Did the Ming army really attack Shimen Mountain?"

Huang Taiji pondered in his heart, but he noticed that Wang Dou and the others did not form a formation to fight, and their soldiers and horses were still gathered in the camp. Look at the Ming generals who did not go to war such as Wang Dou at this time, they only brought some personal guards with them, did they escort the battle or watch the battle?

Will they participate in the attack on Shimen Mountain and finally gather the main force to the east of Jinzhou City?

Huang Taiji could not make a decision, of course, he could also use the reason that the battlefield at this time could not be put away from those many soldiers and horses to explain the phenomenon that they did not participate in the war.

When Huang Taiji was pondering, the ministers of the Qing State also paid attention to the movements of the Ming army. Haoge stood beside Huang Taiji, and also looked at the mountain without blinking, the unruly look on weekdays was much less, obviously the battle of the day, Azig's death, touched him a lot.

Dai Shan stroked the white whiskers on his upper lip and lowered his head in contemplation, and the Dorgon next to him was thoughtful, only the Dorgon behind him was looking around.

Hubu Chengzheng Ying Erdai laughed at this time, and said to Huang Taiji: "Congratulations to the emperor, the emperor has seen thousands of miles, and Nanban has really entered me." ”

As soon as he said this, the Qing ministers beside him immediately said that after the Qing soldiers attacked Jinzhou, the Ming army couldn't sit still. Looking at their layout at this time, it is the main force heading towards Shimen Mountain and the Xiaoling River, and when they occupy Shimen Mountain, the soldiers and horses will cross the Xiaoling River, and they will definitely shed blood on both sides of the river.

Haoge said with even more admiration: "On the day's deliberations, we can't decide where the Wuzhenha super artillery battalion is, the emperor will stand up for public opinion, and he will not be led by the nose by the Ming army, and sure enough, they are now in the scheme." When the Jingbian army comes to the river, their heavy artillery will have to cross the river, how can it be so easy? And hundreds of artillery pieces of our artillery battalion can be calmly arranged, and the artillery salvo will be fired at the right time, and the Jingbian army that crossed the river will definitely suffer heavy casualties. ”

The situation in front of him, Huang Taiji is also quite satisfied, he has worked hard and finally achieved results, how can he not be pleased?

A smile appeared on his gloomy face for many days, and he said: "I have a great Qing Dynasty to build a country, I should use my own strengths, attack his shortcomings, and defend the mountains to the death, it will be useless in the end, and I have to fight in the wilderness!" ”

He sighed with emotion: "I read history, and I know that Jin Shizong is really virtuous, and when Xizong and Wanyan Liang are bright, the old system of Taizu and Taizong will be abolished, and there will be no excessive happiness. Sejong ascended the throne, fearing that his descendants would follow the example of the Han people, and he decreed that he would not forget his ancestors and practice riding and archery. Our country is good at riding and shooting, fighting is defeated, and attacking is taken, and the former Bakshi Dahai and others have repeatedly advised me to make Manchurian clothes from the Han system, and I will only wear wide clothes and Bo Yu, and I will abolish riding and shooting, when I am the body, how can there be any change? I am afraid that future generations will forget it, abandon the riding and shooting and serve the Han people, and be full of worries, so you should be cautious! ”

The ministers of the Qing State on the mountain city listened solemnly, and said in unison: "The emperor is Shengming, and the minions are so admired that they are so impressed!" ”
