Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Does the helper also know Lord Chen?"

Qin Shuhuai didn't answer, but urged, "You continue." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That year, Jiannu invaded Shenyang, and I led my brothers to correspond with Lord Chen inside and outside, and fought three battles with Jiannu, and won three battles. Originally, with the strength of Shenyang City, Jiannu was difficult to capture. The Mongols, who did not want to surrender in the city, rebelled against the water, and joined forces with Jiannuli and finally broke the city of Shenyang. Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong Governor in the city, committed suicide and martyrdom, and everyone else also surrendered, but Lord Chen did not surrender and continued to fight to the death with his brothers. His subordinates have received great grace from Lord Chen, and they should live and die with him. We had agreed that he would break through from inside the city, and I would answer him from outside the city, and we would fight together. But they didn't want us to be ambushed. Lord Chen died in battle, his subordinates were seriously injured, and he fell off his horse and fainted. Later, Jiannu sent troops to bury the body, and his subordinates woke up, and it happened that the soldier in charge of burying was an old acquaintance of his subordinates, so he did his hands and feet during the burial, and his subordinates crawled out of the dead man's pit after everyone dispersed!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiao's eyes were crimson again.

After his subordinates came out, they originally wanted to return to Jinzhou to join the Guan Ning Army and avenge Lord Chen and the dead brothers. I didn't want to go back to Jinzhou City and saw a notice saying that Lord Chen was in contact with foreign enemies, which led to the fall of Shenyang. The subordinates knew that as Lord Chen's henchmen, if they were discovered by the officials, they would definitely be unable to escape the charge of complicity in the same party, so they had no choice but to hide their names and live secretly, hoping to keep this crippled body and one day clear their grievances for Lord Chen. But seven or eight years have passed, and the gang of dog thieves who framed Lord Chen back then continued to rise to the rank and make a fortune, and their subordinates have written countless letters of affection to many military directors over the years, exposing the unjust cases of that year, but they have all been lost...... The subordinates wanted to go directly to the military headquarters to complain about their grievances, but they were afraid that not only would they not be able to avenge their grievances, but they would also lose their lives in vain, so they delayed going for a long time! The subordinates were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they were sorry for Lord Chen! I was sorry for the brothers who died that day!"

Speaking of this, Chang Da cried and shouted, "Master Qian, it is we who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" When we brought reinforcements from our humble duties, we went all the way to three miles outside the city of Shenyang, and saw that the city of Shenyang was broken from a distance, and there were Tartars everywhere we looked, thinking that Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen had been killed in battle, so we took it upon ourselves to turn around and run away with our brothers...... Mr. Qian, his subordinates should die!

After Qin Shuhuai listened, it seemed that Chen Luo was really wronged. Uncle's Wang Huazhen and Wang Baochang, if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you, you won't be surnamed Qin!

Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Xiao again, "Master Zhang Xiang, do you know where the descendants of Lord Chen are now?"

The Chen family has never revealed their true identity to outsiders, and Zhang Xiao naturally doesn't know.

"The subordinates don't know, the helper...... Could it be that the helper knows?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Chen Jing's family is the descendants of Lord Chen!"

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Chen Jing...... I didn't expect Lord Chen's descendants to be in front of me...... Chen Jing is a good man, and Lord Chen will be pleased if he knows about it. After a pause, he laughed miserably, "In this way, the Jianghe Gang should be arranged by Lord Chen in the Heavenly Spirit!

At this time, Chang Da said to Qin Shuhuai again, "Qin Gang Master, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the Jianghe Gang fights Tartars and protects the rivers and mountains, and there are more than 300 brothers in my Weifeng Ridge, all of whom are veterans who have been withdrawn from Shenyang!

Qin Shuhuai thought to himself, this Hengling Battle lost a lot of veterans, it would be good if he could add some. For a troop, the importance of veterans is self-evident.

However, his face was cold, and he said lightly, "I have never accepted deserters from the Jianghe Gang." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao immediately stepped forward and said to Qin Shuhuai, "Gang leader, although my brothers are not as good as the good men of the Jianghe Gang, they are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death. On that day, they knew that Shenyang City was in danger, but they still killed to save their subordinates. It's just that they can't see their subordinates, and they have already been killed in battle, so they withdraw. The helper, the subordinates are so greedy for life and afraid of death, the helper still took in his subordinates, so the subordinates are brave and beg the helper to take them in. They are all hard-working people like their subordinates!"

At this time, Chang Da suddenly took out a dagger and inserted it into his thigh with a "poof".

Gritted his teeth and said, "Gang Leader Qin, this is the three dogs who have made amends to you, so I have offended a lot, please forgive Gang Leader Qin." ”

Qin Shuhuai glanced at him lightly, unmoved.

Seeing this, Chang Da suddenly pulled out his dagger, and the blood on his leg suddenly gushed out.

His face was a little pale, but with a flick of his wrist and a slash of his dagger, he cut off his little finger again.

said, "This is the name of the three dogs, can you see the Qin gang leader?"

Qin Shuhuai's face looked better, but he still didn't speak.

Chang Da smiled miserably and said, "Gang Leader Qin, the three dogs understand!" With that, the blade turned and stabbed directly into his chest!

"Big brother!" Niu Hu and Wang Zaiyu exclaimed at the same time!

"Bang!"

Qin Shuhuai flicked his arm slightly, knocked Chang Da's dagger away in the air, and then said coldly, "You have already died once just now." From this day forward, your life is mine. If I don't let you die, you can't die, remember?"

Chang Da was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised, knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, and said loudly, "Subordinates obey orders!"

It didn't take long for more than 1,000 people to enter Changda's stockade. Chang Da immediately ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, and feasted Jianghe to help people.

At this time, the heavy snow in Hengling closed the mountain, Qin Shuhuai finally found a place for the troops to hide from the snow, and in the warm stone cave, more than 1,000 people finally avoided the possibility of being frozen to death. There are a lot of gold sore medicines in the cottage, and many wounded people have also received timely treatment. In addition, Qin Shuhuai also received 300 veterans, which greatly replenished the vitality of the force.

On his side, everything looks pretty good.

But Yuan Chonghuan's side is extremely bad.

After Meng Wei found Yuan Chonghuan with Qin Shuhuai's secret decree, he told him that the army of Jiannu had appeared in Hengling. Yuan Chonghuan was surprised and delighted, surprised that Qin Shuhuai's prophecy had really come true, and happy that as a general who had commanded the army for many years, he knew that this was a good opportunity to finish his work and completely defeat Jiannu!

As the governor of Jiliao, he is to blame for Jiannu climbing over the wall this time. However, if he can completely wipe out Jiannu in Hengling, he will not only be able to atone for his crimes, but it is no exaggeration to say that he has made a miraculous feat that does not belong to Ningjin's great victory! At the same time, this time Jiannu entered the customs can be described as a great general, and if he can deal a heavy blow, it is very likely that Pingliao will really become a reality in five years.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

Therefore, he immediately dispatched He Kegang to lead four thousand Guanning iron cavalry to Yutian. At the same time, he personally led an army of 7,000 and immediately rushed to the aid of Hengling.

There were 9,000 defenders in Jizhou City, plus the 6,000 men and horses brought by He Kegang, a total of 15,000, and he sent 14,000 at once, which is not unradical for him, who has always been good at defending the city. However, relative to the expected gains, this aggressiveness can be explained as boldness, a kind of boldness that a general must have!

It should be said that Yuan Chonghuan's choice was right. This is the only chance for the Ming army to fight with Houjin Ye, and the only chance to completely block them, or even encircle and annihilate them!

In other words, any insightful general will choose to fight Houjin at this moment. And Qin Shuhuai's original intention of asking Meng Wei to find Yuan Chonghuan was also to hope that Yuan Chonghuan could fight a decisive battle with Houjin in Hengling!
