Let's say that after entering the city, the generals gathered together to summarize the results of the battle and discuss the gains and losses.

Li Jingting inadvertently said, "By the way, there is a Han official in the Tartars, whose name is Fan Wencheng, and he was also arrested by us this time." ”

Qin Shuhuai suddenly smiled, "Fan Wencheng, hehe, what about the high staff of Huang Taiji!"

"Do you want to meet this big traitor?"

"Of course I want to see him, bring him in. ”

It didn't take long for Fan Wencheng, who had a rattail on the back of his head, to be brought in.

This kid's face was pale, and his body trembled slightly, but he pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

Qin Shuhuai asked, "You are Fan Wencheng?"

Fan Wencheng twisted his neck and said, "Since you know, why do you have to ask again?

Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly, "It's quite backbone." If you have such backbone, why do you want to be a traitor and help the abuse?"

Lai San'er also added, "Yes, the Tartar has killed so many Han people, and you bastard still go to help him, it's not as good as a pig and a dog!"

But he didn't want Fan Wencheng to sneer, "Hehe, why are you a traitor? Then I'll tell you, our clan has lived in Liaodong for generations, and after the fall of Liaodong, did the imperial court ever manage us? The imperial court doesn't care about us, do we have to find a way to survive by ourselves? I help the Tartars Yes, but I asked him to kill less Han people and persuade him to follow the policy of the Manchu family, and do you know how many Han people have survived because of this? I ask myself if I am worthy of heaven and earth, and I have a clear conscience!"

The words were uttered so that the people were speechless.

Nima looks so reasonable!

Even Lai San'er, who was the most scolding, didn't know how to refute for a while, so he had to skip the topic and scolded, "Oh, hehe, I'm still hard-mouthed at this point!

As he spoke, he grabbed Fan Wencheng's pigtail and pulled it out, it seemed that he was going to take action in person.

Can he not be angry? From the second year of Chongzhen to the present, how many brothers in his White Tiger Hall have died under the Tartar knife? It would be very good that the old people in the hall back then could now have one-fifth left!

"Lai San'er, wait a minute. Qin Shuhuai said, "Fan Wencheng, you said that you helped the Tartars to fight for the survival of the Han people in Liaodong? Then you don't care whether the Han people in the Guannai live or die, right? When Huang Taiji went on his second southern expedition, when there was a shortage of grain, you suggested that you collect grain on the spot in the area north of Jizhen, right? Do you know how many Han people died because of you at that time?"

Fan Wencheng was stunned and speechless for a while.

"My duke asks you again, when Ben Gong almost trapped Huang Taiji in Hengling, since you wanted to fight for the Han people's way to survive, why did you offer advice to help him get out of trouble? Do you know that as long as the battle is completely annihilated by Huang Taiji's department, the Tartars will not dare to go south for at least ten years, and at least more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians can be spared from being slaughtered?"

Qin Shuhuai's voice became more and more intense, and he raised his voice and said, "Now that the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, this Northern Expedition is unstoppable, if you really have the heart to fight for the Han people, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, help the imperial court exterminate the Tartars as soon as possible, and give the Han people in Liaodong a greater way to live? But what about you? But you continue to play for the tiger, and come up with this poisonous plan to trap the officials and soldiers to death! How poisonous are you, a Han thief, who is a high-ranking official, and you dare to claim to be a rescuer of the Han people?"

The questioning made Fan Wencheng tremble even more, and cold sweat came down!

"I, I ......," he muttered feebly, but could no longer come up with a quibble.

He thought that he was also talented, but he heard that Qin Shuhuai attached great importance to talented people, and even Li Dingguo, a rogue on the three sides, was now recruited by him and promoted to the commander of the first army.

But he was wrong.

Qin Shuhuai can appoint rogues regardless of previous suspicions, but he will never appoint established traitors.

At this time, Lai San'er said again, "Helper, if you talk to him, I will pull him to pick his skin, pull his tendons, and cut open his chest to see what color his heart is!"

Fan Wencheng has completely collapsed, and the "wind bones" that were originally supported by it have long been gone.

"Country, grandfather of the country, spare your life! I, I am very familiar with the defense of the Tartars, I can atone for my sins and help the grandfather of the country to kill the Tartars! Please be gracious, and the grandpa of the country be gracious!"

Qin Shuhuai sneered, "The Tartars are deployed to defend the Tartars, but they don't know what to do? The Tartars have been fighting in the south and the north for many years, have you ever heard that the Tartars have been defeated? Now that there are thousands of elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, do you know what it means to destroy the withering and decaying, and it is impossible to do it? It is the destiny of Heaven to exterminate the Tartars, and the Tartars don't need a thief like you to give advice!"

"Grandpa Guo, I was wrong! I was wrong! Spare my dog's life!" Fan Wencheng kowtowed like a green onion, and cried as he spoke.

People who want to be prosperous and rich are really more desperate than ordinary people.

"Okay!" Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "My father will spare your life." Someone, pull him out first. ”

Fan Wencheng never expected the reversal to come so quickly, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately thanked Qin Shuhuai for his kindness.

When I got outside, I was still shouting, "Thank you Grandpa Guo for not killing." ”

Lai San'er was anxious, "Helper, how can this be done?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Why not? Go back and tattoo the word 'rape' on his forehead, and then engrave the words 'Huangtaiji Wang Bastard' on his face, cut off his nose, and then return it to Tartar, isn't it interesting?"

When the generals heard this, they burst out laughing.

Interesting, indeed interesting!

The two major battles in a row made the soldiers extremely tired, so Qin Shuhuai ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate.

The important work during the recuperation period was, of course, to find out the deployment of the second line of defense of the Tartars.

This is not difficult, because there are only a few strategic places in the Tartars, as long as you touch them, you can know it, and Qin Shuhuai and the White Lotus Sect have a steady stream of information sent every day.

After seven days of rest, the second line of defense of the Tartars was basically figured out.

It was the second line of defense based on Ash Niulu, the gateway to Shenyang, the important town of Kaicheng in the west of Shenyang, and the Huangniwa Fort 60 miles east of Ash Niulu.

If Huang Taiji hadn't made a desperate bet, then he should have left at least 20,000 or 30,000 forbidden troops near Shenyang City, so he might only have about 70,000 troops on the second line of defense.

Of course, he still has a lot of pawns, but these pawns can be ignored, on the one hand, there is a shortage of Tartar iron weapons, many of these pawns may not even have weapons, on the other hand, these pawns have not been trained at all, and the Han people account for a large proportion, you expect them to fight the Ming army? It's funny.

After it was determined, Qin Shuhuai considered that there were only 110,000 left in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and this time the troops were not divided into three routes, but first divided into two routes.

One route was led by Zhao to lead 50,000 troops, with Li Dingguo as the deputy marshal, to attack Kaecheng in the west of Shenyang City, cutting off the route of Huang Taiji's inescapability.

On the other hand, the 60,000 army was led by Qin Shuhuai, directly attacking the Shenyang gateway Ash Niulu, forcing the Tartars to send heavy troops and the Ming army to fight here - once Ash Niulu is lost, it will be a flat river again, and there is no big city to defend until Shenyang, so the strategic position here is equivalent to the Shanhaiguan of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Tartars not to defend it.
