Chapter 251
On September [-]th, the [-] army led by Zhang Chun, the Bingbei Road, arrived in Jinzhou.This large army included almost all the mobile troops of the Ming Dynasty in the Northern Zhili area, and they were quite effective. Their arrival boosted the morale of the Ming army, which had been depressed due to consecutive defeats, and seemed to see hope again.No matter how powerful Jiannu is, there are only [-] people. Guan Ning's army lost three battles in a row, and the loss is not small, but [-] people can still make up. If [-] fights [-], even if there is no way to defeat Jiannu , at least it can force them to retreat, break the siege of Daling River, or rescue most of the army besieged in Daling River City?
Then, there was another good news: two flying troops were traveling more than a hundred miles a day, traveling day and night to the west of Liaoning, and they would arrive in a short time!This good news made the Ming army both confused and delighted. What was confusing was who the two flying armies were and how they ran so fast. What was gratifying was that these two flying armies could travel hundreds of miles a day, and their combat effectiveness would definitely not be bad. , With these two flying armies joining, the confidence is even greater!Some optimistic generals said publicly: "If these two flying armies are really so powerful, we will go all out to help, and it will not be as simple as taking back Dalinghe City. We must take off the two layers of Jiannu!" In a word, As the reinforcements arrived one after another, everyone's mood improved.
According to the order of the Ministry of War, Zhang Chun's troops first rested in Jinzhou City to replenish their strength, and waited for the Tianxiong Army and Wuyang Guards to join up.The pigeons at Shanhaiguan Passed the letter that the Tianxiong Army had already passed the Shanhaiguan Pass, and they would arrive in Jinzhou in at most six or seven days.Zhang Chun had worked with Lu Xiangsheng when he recaptured the four cities in the Guannei. He had some understanding of the Tianxiong Army, and because of his understanding, he was surprised by the speed of the Tianxiong Army. Said: "After driving for more than half a month, I can still travel sixty miles a day. Are all the Tianxiong soldiers flying legs?"
Qiu Hejia, governor of Jinzhou, also said: "It's unbelievable! It's unbelievable that even cattle can't support this way of walking. It's unbelievable that they are completely unharmed. How did this army get trained!?"
Sun Chengzong waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either!"
Zhang Chun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how the Tianxiong Army was trained. The important thing is that once the Tianxiong Army arrives, our army will be even more powerful, and our combat power will be doubled! The imperial court will be satisfied if we can solve the siege of the Daling River. However, with this strong army, I don't want to let Jianu go so easily!"
Qiu Hejia said: "Yes, we should teach them a lesson and let them settle down for a few years!"
The excellent performance of the Tianxiong Army during the march not only boosted the morale of the Ming army, but also boosted the confidence of the two old men. They were already planning how to use this dark horse to teach Hou Jin a lesson.
Sun Chengzong didn't pour cold water on it, and let these two old friends indulge themselves.The Sichuan army he named to be transferred was not transferred, which somewhat disappointed him, but the performance of the Tianxiong army gave him a big surprise. He did not misunderstand the person. Lu Xiangsheng is indeed a general. Two years of painstaking efforts He offended many old subordinates by allocating the supplies and soldiers that should have been given to the Guanning Army to the Tianxiong Army many times. Now that he has finally paid off, he is very relieved!He made up his mind that if he could overcome this difficulty, he must give the Tianxiong Army more resources, and try his best to build a powerful army that can compete with Jiannu in the wild.Sun Chengzong was very disappointed by the poor performance of the Guan Ning Army in the reinforcement of the Daling River. Instead of continuing to waste time and limited supplies and food on these useless guys, it is better to train the Tianxiong Army!By the way, that Wuyang Guard should also spend great efforts to train them. Their marching speed is even faster than Tianxiong Army. As long as they can grow up, they will be an elite army...
Sun Chengzong, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Hejia all calmed down, comforted the soldiers, recharged their batteries, and waited for the Tianxiong Army and Wuyang Guards to arrive.They are not in a hurry. Houjin has been besieging Dalinghe City without attacking it. Although the towers around Dalinghe City have been destroyed, the city walls are still intact. Zu Dashou has been waiting for more than a month to eat Dalinghe City within a month, so he doesn't care about waiting another ten days and a half month, right?As soon as these two flying troops arrived, they would rest for a few days, and then they would go out of the city and fight towards the Daling River, wanting to build slaves to look good!
They were not in a hurry, but Huang Taiji had a way to make them anxious.
September 26.
"Did you know? The Daling River was fighting terribly! The defenders ran out of food early in the morning and started eating people!"
"Huh? True or false?"
"Really! Someone escaped from Dalinghe City and told me himself! He said that Jiannu was very cunning. He didn't attack after surrounding Dalinghe City. He just dug three long trenches and built soil. The wall encloses Dalinghe City...there are 4 to [-] people in the city. The food that was originally stored is not enough to eat. It took only half a month to eat up. In a few days, the rats and sparrows will also be eaten up. , Only those generals have a few buckets of rice. When there is nothing to eat, those military leaders start eating people, kill the servants, use bones as firewood to roast the human meat until it is half-cooked, and then gobble it up! Not only do they eat it themselves, but also Distribute the unfinished meat to the servants, fatten them up, and then pick and kill the fat ones next time..."
"Stop talking! If you continue talking, I should vomit!"
"Oh my God, I didn't know if I didn't tell you, but I was shocked when I told you that the fight in Daling River City was so brutal!"
"The fighting in Daling River City was so brutal. Why hasn't Mr. Sun Ge sent reinforcements? Do we have to wait until everyone in the city is dead before we send out reinforcements?"
"The devil knows!"
……
I don't know when, some things about Dalinghe City have spread in Jinzhou City.At the beginning, it was only spread in the streets and alleys, and soon spread to every corner of Jinzhou City, and then spread to the rear like a plague, and it got out of control in a blink of an eye.The city of Daling River has been going on for more than forty days. In addition to more than 1 elite Guanning troops, there are also many servants and merchants from Jinzhou and other places who are surrounded in that damn city. The wife, children, and children were on tenterhooks day and night, fearing that something might happen to their family. Now that they heard that Daling River City had turned into a gloomy hell on earth, all their worries and fears finally broke out. They flocked to the military camp and pointed at The soldiers yelled and cursed, with the same meaning inside and outside the words: why didn't you send troops to support Dalinghe City?In case my family's army heads are eaten up, can you poor soldiers pay me back! ?The crowd in Jinzhou City was raging, like a boiling crater, which could not be suppressed by swords and guns.
After Sun Chengzong received the report, he was startled and angry: "Who is spreading rumors and disturbing the morale of the army? Thorough investigation! We must investigate thoroughly!" The governor of Jinzhou and Jin Yiwei knew that the matter was serious, and immediately dispatched to start a thorough investigation.The investigation process was not smooth. The common people thought that the government was going to gag them, and they reacted very violently. They even started fighting with the officials and Jin Yiwei, and the situation almost got out of control.
Sun Chengzong was worried, and the damn rumor came at the right time!In a few days, the Tianxiong army will arrive, join forces with Zhang Chun, the fighting power of the Ming army will increase greatly, and the chances of repelling Jiannu will increase exponentially, but at this juncture, rumors are rampant and people will be shaken. If this continues, Before sending troops to reinforce the Daling River, Jinzhou was in chaos first, which is okay!Qiu Hejia was also very worried, and issued a death order: "Anyone who spreads rumors will be regarded as a traitor and will be severely punished!" He mobilized a large number of manpower to dig deep all the way, regardless of the cost, and vowed not to stop until the source was found out!
On September 28, the rumors spread even more fiercely. Many people said that Zu Dashou was going to be overwhelmed and was about to surrender in Kaesong.At this moment, the supervisor couldn't sit still anymore, and ran over impatiently. Seeing that Sun Chengzong and Zhang Chun were talking, he called out in a shrill voice: "Mr. Sun Ge and Zhang Bingbei are very elegant. I am in the mood to talk here!"
Zhang Chun got up and bowed, asked the supervisor to sit down, and said, "Don't be too worried, my father-in-law. These are just Jiannu's rumors. Just let it go to your ears. If it is true, it will be in Jiannu's hands!"
The supervisor's voice became even sharper: "When the wind is in your ears? Zhang Bingbei, you are easy to say! Daling River City has run out of food, is it true? The poison is cut off from food. It will collapse, if Zu Shaofu can't hold on and Kaicheng surrenders, not only you, but our family will also be killed!"
Sun Chengzong was about to speak, when Qiu Hejia walked in, with an ugly expression on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Ge Lao, Bing Bei, we have found the person who first spread the rumors!"
Sun Chengzong hurriedly stood up: "Is it the meticulous work of slavery?"
Qiu Hejia shook his head: "No, he is a businessman in Jinzhou City. When Dalinghe City was rebuilt, he also went with the army to Dalinghe City and built a slave siege. Naturally, he was surrounded with the army..."
Sun Chengzong's body shook slightly: "So, these rumors are true?"
Qiu Hejia nodded in pain: "He saw it all with his own eyes, it can't be faked!"
The superintendent stomped his feet and shouted: "Don't bother talking about it, bring that man up and let our family have a trial and we'll know everything!"
Zhang Chun sighed and said, "I'm afraid there is no need to interrogate..."
The supervisor said sharply: "Our family said we want it!"
Qiu Hejia made a gesture, an attendant ran out and shouted, and several officers escorted a middle-aged man in.The man's clothes are fairly neat and clean, but there is always an indescribable strange smell on his body, his expression is terrified, as if he has been frightened greatly, and he always tries to stay away from the officials with knives as much as possible, as if they are devils .Seeing these elders, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and wailed: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, it's none of the villain's business, really it's none of the villain's business!"
The supervisor looked at the man and said, "Don't be afraid. You answer every question we ask. As long as you tell the truth, no one will make things difficult for you. But if you don't tell the truth, hehe, our family will make you regret it." Why didn't you die in Dalinghe City?"
Upon hearing the words "Dalinghe City", the middle-aged man instinctively trembled, his body even began to tremble.Before the supervisor could open his mouth, he poured beans like beans from a bamboo tube: "The villain's surname is Zhang, and he does groceries for a living. He earns a little money by selling grain and cloth. There are two shops in Jinzhou City. I know! In July, when the rebuilding of Dalinghe City began, the villain and a few friends went there with goods to see if they could make some money. The inner and outer third floors of Linghe City are tightly surrounded, and there is no way to get out, even if you think about it, you can't get out!"
"At the beginning, everyone didn't panic, because there was still a lot of food in the city, and there was no shortage of food. But Jiannu didn't attack the city, but just dug long trenches around the Daling River day and night, using three Changhao surrounded the entire Dalinghe City, and built an earthen wall! At this time, General Zu and General He became anxious, and the army rushed out of the city, fighting fiercely with Jiannu for days, trying to destroy the earthen wall and the long trench. However, Jiannu was so powerful that the two generals were no match for them, and they were beaten back after several attacks. Later, the long trench and the earthen wall were repaired, and they were even more unable to attack. Jiannu also pretended to be reinforcements to lure Our army attacked, General Zu was fooled, and personally led people to fight out of the city, resulting in heavy casualties, almost unable to return to the city."
"In a few days, the firewood will be burned out, and we can only go out of the city to cut it in the place controlled by Jiannu. Jiannu is waiting nearby, and every time he goes out to cut firewood, he will lose hundreds of lives. Later, the soldiers couldn't bear it. After staying, I dared not go out of the city to cut firewood, so I had to dismantle the saddle for firewood. But the saddle was limited, and it was burned up soon. The most terrible thing was that the food was also eaten up at this time, and the army began to kill horses for meat. , and we can only look around for sparrows and mice, catch them and eat them raw. When all these things are eaten, they...they start eating people!"
The businessman surnamed Zhang described what he saw and heard in Dalinghe City in a hollow and numb tone. He was calm at first. When he mentioned that Guan Ningjun started cannibalism, his body He started shaking uncontrollably, and Sun Chengzong, Zhang Chun, Qiu Hejia and others also looked sympathetic.In any case, cannibalism is always a horrifying thing. Such a horrific thing happened thirty miles away from them. It was difficult for them to accept it for a while.After a long silence, Sun Chengzong interrupted the businessman and asked, "How did you escape?"
The businessman said: "The villain is in the business of grain and groceries. I have some stored grain in the cellar. Seeing that the situation is not good, I hid in the cellar and hid it. I survived by eating the stored grain. It was just brought by the villain. Those guys were eaten. Later, the villain bought a guarding soldier with the last two buckets of rice, and he let the villain down with a rope at night, and the villain escaped from that hell on earth. I didn't run very far, and was caught by Jiannu again..."
The supervisor sternly shouted: "Then how did you escape?"
The businessman stammered and said, "Yes...it was Jiannu who let the villain back!"
The supervisor was very surprised: "Did they let you back?"
The businessman said: "Yes! After the villain was captured, Huang Taiji, the slave chieftain who built slaves, came in person and asked the villain about the situation in Dalinghe City. After the villain told him, he expressed deep sympathy and said that the villain It is not easy to escape from that ghost place alive, so I gave the villain a bad horse and let the villain come back!"
Qiu Hejia looked annoyed: "So when you return to the city, you will tell everyone what you saw and heard in Dalinghe City, so that everyone can know how you survived, right?"
Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and said, "You really deserve to die!"
The businessman was so frightened that he slammed his head and said with trembling lips: "No! The villain can swear to God that he didn't reveal a word after returning to Jinzhou! This experience is like a nightmare, villain I can't wait to sleep with my head covered for three days and three nights, and then completely forget about it, how can I tell people about it again and again! The villain really didn't reveal a word to the outside world!"
Qiu Hejia yelled angrily: "You didn't reveal a single word to the outside world, so why are rumors flying all over the sky, and the city is full of storms? Do you know that disturbing the morale of the army is a capital offense!"
The businessman turned pale, and said: "The villain doesn't know what's going on. Before returning to Jinzhou, the news in Dalinghe City spread, and it was said that the villain himself said it. Many people came to the door. Ask the villain if it is true or not..."
Qiu Hejia wanted to kill someone: "Then you admitted it, didn't you!?" If it wasn't for his powerlessness, he really wanted to strangle this bastard to death!
Sun Chengzong waved his hand and said, "Don't embarrass him. As an old man, I have had such a terrible experience, and I would definitely not want to tell it, and he is the same. These rumors must have been released by Jiannu's secret work." He said Showing a bitter smile: "No, it's not a rumor...it's all a fact. Because of this, we have no way to refute it, let alone stop those long-winded mouths!"
Zhang Chun's complexion was even uglier than that of Qiu Hejia: "It's Yangmou!"
Yangmou is worse than conspiracy.The conspiracy will still be exposed and thwarted, but Yangmou will put everything in front of you clearly. You know that there is a trap, but you still have to jump in with your eyes wide open!
The supervisor was a little puzzled: "What does Jiannu want to do?"
Sun Chengzong said: "Force our army to reinforce Dalinghe City!"
Just as he was talking, Qiu Hejia's attendant came in and called: "Three lords, General Zu Dale and General Zu Dabi are gathering troops!"
Sun Chengzong raised his thick eyebrows: "Gather generals and order soldiers? What do they want to do?"
The attendant said: "General Zu Dale said that Dalinghe City is in danger, his elder brother and nephew may die at any time, but Mr. Zhang has not moved, so they have to lead the troops to rescue them personally. Even if they fail, they will die with the brothers and nephew of the ancestors Together!"
Sun Chengzong yelled: "Nonsense! Tianxiong and Wuyang flying armies will arrive in a few days. When the three armies join forces, the chances of winning will double. Sending aid at this time will only ruin the event!"
The attendant said: "Also, Jinzhou soldiers and civilians are kneeling all over the ground outside the Governor's Yamen. Even if you can't persuade them to leave, you should go out and have a look!"
Sun Chengzong and others stood up and walked out, only to see a crowd of people outside the governor's yamen, including officers, soldiers and civilians, kneeling all over the ground, and many of them held up banners made of white cloth, which were blood-stained, shocking:
"Please save Daling River City!"
"There are more than forty people defending the isolated city. Their salaries and food are exhausted. The army and the people are eating each other. The bones and bones are still unwilling to surrender. Why did the cabinet not send troops to rescue?"
"No one rescued Dalinghe City today, who will rescue Jinzhou in the future?"
Looking at the bloody books and the crowd kneeling all over the ground, Sun Chengzong's heart sank to the bottom.He knew that he had no choice, and neither did Zhang Chun. From the moment the businessman was released, everything was doomed. Apart from sending reinforcements as Huang Taiji planned, they could do nothing!No reinforcements?The soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City were the first to rebel, and the memorials of the officials of the imperial court were enough to build a grave for them!
Huang Taiji, you are so poisonous!

On September [-]th, the [-] army led by Zhang Chun, the Bingbei Road, arrived in Jinzhou.This large army included almost all the mobile troops of the Ming Dynasty in the Northern Zhili area, and they were quite effective.

According to the order of the Ministry of War, Zhang Chun's troops first rested in Jinzhou City to replenish their strength, and waited for the Tianxiong Army and Wuyang Guards to join up.The pigeons at Shanhaiguan Passed the letter that the Tianxiong Army had already passed the Shanhaiguan Pass, and they would arrive in Jinzhou in at most six or seven days.Zhang Chun had worked with Lu Xiangsheng when he recaptured the four cities in the Guannei.

The most terrible thing was that the food was also eaten up at this time, and the army began to kill horses for meat. , and we can only look around for sparrows and mice, catch them and eat them raw. When all these things are eaten, they...they start eating people!"
The businessman surnamed Zhang described what he saw and heard in Dalinghe City in a hollow and numb tone. He was calm at first. When he mentioned that Guan Ningjun started cannibalism, his body He started shaking uncontrollably, and Sun Chengzong, Zhang Chun, Qiu Hejia and others also looked sympathetic.In any case, cannibalism is always a horrifying thing. Such a horrific thing happened thirty miles away from them. It was difficult for them to accept it for a while.After a long silence, Sun Chengzong interrupted the businessman and asked, "How did you escape?"
The businessman said: "The villain is in the business of grain and groceries. I have some stored grain in the cellar. Seeing that the situation is not good, I hid in the cellar and hid it. I survived by eating the stored grain. It was just brought by the villain. Those guys were eaten. Later, the villain bought a guarding soldier with the last two buckets of rice, and he let the villain down with a rope at night, and the villain escaped from that hell on earth. I didn't run very far, and was caught by Jiannu again..."
The supervisor sternly shouted: "Then how did you escape?"
The businessman stammered and said, "Yes...it was Jiannu who let the villain back!"
The supervisor was very surprised: "Did they let you back?"
The businessman said: "Yes! After the villain was captured, Huang Taiji, the slave chieftain who built slaves, came in person and asked the villain about the situation in Dalinghe City. After the villain told him, he expressed deep sympathy and said that the villain It is not easy to escape from that ghost place alive, so I gave the villain a bad horse and let the villain come back!"
Qiu Hejia looked annoyed: "So when you return to the city, you will tell everyone what you saw and heard in Dalinghe City, so that everyone can know how you survived, right?"
Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and said, "You really deserve to die!"
The businessman was so frightened that he slammed his head and said with trembling lips: "No! The villain can swear to God that he didn't reveal a word after returning to Jinzhou! This experience is like a nightmare, villain I can't wait to sleep with my head covered for three days and three nights, and then completely forget about it, how can I tell people about it again and again! The villain really didn't reveal a word to the outside world!"
Qiu Hejia yelled angrily: "You didn't reveal a single word to the outside world, so why are rumors flying all over the sky, and the city is full of storms? Do you know that disturbing the morale of the army is a capital offense!"
The businessman turned pale, and said: "The villain doesn't know what's going on. Before returning to Jinzhou, the news in Dalinghe City spread, and it was said that the villain himself said it. Many people came to the door. Ask the villain if it is true or not..."
Qiu Hejia wanted to kill someone: "Then you admitted it, didn't you!?" If it wasn't for his powerlessness, he really wanted to strangle this bastard to death!
Sun Chengzong waved his hand and said, "Don't embarrass him. As an old man, I have had such a terrible experience, and I would definitely not want to tell it, and he is the same. These rumors must have been released by Jiannu's secret work." He said Showing a bitter smile: "No, it's not a rumor...it's all a fact. Because of this, we have no way to refute it, let alone stop those long-winded mouths!"
Zhang Chun's complexion was even uglier than that of Qiu Hejia: "It's Yangmou!"
Yangmou is worse than conspiracy.The conspiracy will still be exposed and thwarted, but Yangmou will put everything in front of you clearly. You know that there is a trap, but you still have to jump in with your eyes wide open!
The supervisor was a little puzzled: "What does Jiannu want to do?"
Sun Chengzong said: "Force our army to reinforce Dalinghe City!"
Just as he was talking, Qiu Hejia's attendant came in and called: "Three lords, General Zu Dale and General Zu Dabi are gathering troops!"
Sun Chengzong raised his thick eyebrows: "Gather generals and order soldiers? What do they want to do?"
The attendant said: "General Zu Dale said that Dalinghe City is in danger, his elder brother and nephew may die at any time, but Mr. Zhang has not moved, so they have to lead the troops to rescue them personally. Even if they fail, they will die with the brothers and nephew of the ancestors Together!"
Sun Chengzong yelled: "Nonsense! Tianxiong and Wuyang flying armies will arrive in a few days. When the three armies join forces, the chances of winning will double. Sending aid at this time will only ruin the event!"
The attendant said: "Also, Jinzhou soldiers and civilians are kneeling all over the ground outside the Governor's Yamen. Even if you can't persuade them to leave, you should go out and have a look!"
Sun Chengzong and others stood up and walked out, only to see a crowd of people outside the governor's yamen, including officers, soldiers and civilians, kneeling all over the ground, and many of them held up banners made of white cloth, which were blood-stained, shocking:
"Please save Daling River City!"
"There are more than forty people defending the isolated city. Their salaries and food are exhausted. The army and the people are eating each other. The bones and bones are still unwilling to surrender. Why did the cabinet not send troops to rescue?"
"No one rescued Dalinghe City today, who will rescue Jinzhou in the future?"
Looking at the bloody books and the crowd kneeling all over the ground, Sun Chengzong's heart sank to the bottom.He knew that he had no choice, and neither did Zhang Chun. From the moment the businessman was released, everything was doomed. Apart from sending reinforcements as Huang Taiji planned, they could do nothing!No reinforcements?The soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City were the first to rebel, and the memorials of the officials of the imperial court were enough to build a grave for them!
Huang Taiji, you are so poisonous!
