It's been a long time since I've slept so peacefully.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Meng Wei came to the door of Qin Shuhuai early.

"Has Master Hou gotten up?" he asked the brother on duty at the door in a soft voice.

Before the brother could answer, he saw Qin Shuhuai gently open the door, and then made a silent gesture.

whispered, "Let's go, go to the Changxin store." ”

"Yes, Master Hou. ”

Qin Shuhuai reluctantly glanced back at Chen Qing'er, who was still asleep, and then gently closed the door.

When I came to Changxindian, the army had already been assembled.

When Qiu Dali saw Qin Shuhuai, he said happily, "Stinky boy, I haven't seen you for three months, how did you become black charcoal?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "Why doesn't Master go to sit at home?"

"Dozens of truckloads of military funds have to be delivered, so how can Master have time to go. Qiu Dali said with a straight face, "I heard that the Tartars have an army of more than 100,000 this time, you must be careful in everything! This victory will rise or fall, and you can't sleep even if you think about it." Why don't I go with you?"

Of course, Qin Shuhuai didn't want Qiu Dali to go with him, because Qiu Dali's going would not help much, and besides, Jianghe still needed him to help this old nest.

Seeing Qin Shuhuai smiling and silent, Meng Wei knew his thoughts, and hurriedly said, "Qiu Protector, when did Hou Ye's clever plan fail? ”

Qiu Dali waved his hand, "Just a few old people in the gang, now from the imperial court to the martial arts faction, who doesn't sell the face of our Jianghe Gang, what's the big deal?" Xiaoshu, the master asked you, can you go together?"

Qin Shuhuai saw that Qiu Dali's willingness to go was very resolute, and it was not easy to refute his face, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay then." However, the army is not as good as the gang, Master, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Qiu Dali smiled, "Stinky boy, I'm going to put up a fight with the master so soon!" Okay, the master knows that the army pays attention to orders and prohibitions, you are handsome and I am a soldier, as long as the army is pulled, I will be your subordinate!"

Qin Shuhuai chuckled, "That's good." By the way, are the armies ready?"

Meng Wei said, "Master Hou, everything is ready. ”

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "Ready to pull!"

On July 23 of the third year of Chongzhen, Qin Shuhuai led more than 62,000 Wulin coalition troops to set off from Changxindian to Zunhua for rescue.

However, what is surprising is that Qin Shuhuai did not take the nearest Tongzhou-Jizhou-Zunhua line, but took the Xianghe-Yutian-Fengrun-Yongping line.

From Changxindian to Yongping, there are almost 400 miles. The army walked at a speed close to a rapid march, at least three days.

In Zunhua City, the governor of the yamen.

Yuan Chonghuan sat in the hall and was discussing city defense matters with the generals.

At this time, a staff general hurriedly walked in and said, "Inspector Qiqi, I received a secret letter from the Beijing Division, saying that Qin Shuhuai led the army from Changxindian two days ago and went straight to Yongping. ”

Yuan Chonghuan's brows furrowed slightly, but then he stretched out again.

"This Marquis of Qin didn't come to save Zunhua, but he went to fight Yongping first, hehe, interesting. ”

The general at the bottom said, "Supervisor, it makes sense for Qin Shuhuai to go to Yongping first, but the grain and grass in our city have bottomed out, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for three days." As soon as he goes around like this, we'll be hanging. ”

The one who spoke was Yuan Chonghuan's old subordinate Qin Lang.

The grain and grass in the city was originally only enough for normal consumption for twenty days, but now Jiannu has been besieging the city for a month, and although the army has repeatedly reduced the food ration, it has still bottomed out. At present, even if the army drinks two bowls of porridge per person a day, it can only last for three days.

Yuan Chonghuan was silent and said, "Look at the people in the city again." Let's buy at the market price. If the silver taels are not enough, let's exchange the horses. ”

Qin Lang said with a bitter face, "The people in the city don't have much food, I'm afraid they won't sell it to us." Besides, even if you want to sell it, you will never sell it at the market price, at least three times higher than the market price, and it is still very expensive!"

Another general said, "We have exchanged horses for horses a few times before, but as the siege of Jiannu lasted for a long time, the people felt that they could not eat enough, and the horses were even more difficult to feed, so they did not accept them." Besides, we only have more than 2,500 war horses left, and if we take them out and exchange them again, our iron cavalry can only be used as infantry. ”

The general who spoke was called Zu Dabi, who was Zu Dashou's younger brother, who did not lose Zu Dashou in the war, and liked to shout when he fought, and was known as the "Zu Er Madman".

Yuan Chonghuan said lightly, "People can't eat enough, what's the use of war horses? In short, if Huang Taiji wants to consume with us, let's consume with him to see who can consume whom. ”

At night, five miles south of Zunhua City, the Huangtai Camp was held.

Huang Taiji's second son, Haoge, said, "Father Khan, everything is ready. ”

Huang Taiji bowed his head slightly, and said, "Go! Remember, a quick battle!"

"Yes, Father Khan!"

In the dark, the Houjin army set off from outside Zunhua City and galloped westward.

Huang Taiji was in the tent and said to Fan Wencheng, "Mr. Xiandou (Fan Wencheng table), what do you think of Zu Dashou and Ma Shilong?"

Fan Wencheng smiled faintly and said, "Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of the Santun Battalion, was born in Wuju, and he has a bit of brute strength, but his subordinates are all straw bales. Does the Great Khan remember the absurd Battle of Liuhe? That was Ma Shilong's men. Ma Shilong is brave and does not know how to govern the army, so there is no need to worry. ”

The Battle of Liuhe refers to the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Ma Shilong sent Lu Zhijia to take 7,000 recruits to attack Yaozhou, but at night, he was beaten by hundreds of soldiers in Houjin, and even the main general Lu Zhijia was captured alive. The battle became the biggest joke of Ma Shilong's career, and he himself was dismissed from his post for it. It wasn't until Sun Chengzong was in Jizhen that he was used again.

Huang Taiji asked again, "What about Zu Dashou?"

"Zu Dashou is quite strategic, but he is selfish, and he will not compromise the means to achieve his goals, he is a hero, and he is also an opponent that should not be underestimated. Fan Wencheng said.

Huang Taiji thought thoughtfully, "Selfish? Mr. means that this person can be bribed?"

Fan Wencheng shook his head, "If it was a year ago, this person might have been able to buy it." But now, Qin Shuhuai has curbed the Demon Sect and basically pacified the three sides, and the Ming court has a slight resurgence from the dead. Zu Dashou's family is in a high position in the Ming Court, and the so-called emperor's grace is vast, and if we want to accept him at this time, we are afraid that we will not be able to afford the price. ”

Huang Taiji smiled, "What if he is cornered?"

Fan Wencheng also smiled, "Then it depends on how Haugbel and Azigbel fight." ”

"With Mr. Cunning, Hauge and Azig will definitely be able to return home with a big victory!" Huang Taiji stood up, looked at the stars and moon outside the tent, and said with great ambition, "Although the tyrant has Qin Shuhuai to help the abuse, my Dajin also has Mr. Strategizing, and there are so many loyal and brave soldiers, Ben Khan believes that my Dajin will win the tyranny!"

Fan Wencheng stood up and respectfully said to Huang Taiji, "The Great Khan is wise!
