Brocade tears

Jianzhou Jurchen has always had a special contact mark, especially when the cavalry team drove straight into the enemy's rear, in order to let the follow-up troops find their traces, the vanguard troops would spread horse manure on the ground, write words, and then buried them with floating soil.This kind of writing is based on the Mongolian writing, and the writing symbols created internally by several generals under Nurhachi have a strong encryption nature and cannot be read by the enemy.In addition, horse manure is a common filth on the road, which will not attract people's attention, and few people will destroy it, so it has always been a very effective way of communication.

Follow-up troops usually bring dogs to track them. They are hounds specially trained by the Jurchens' dog training method passed down from generation to generation. The hounds will remember the smell of messengers and horses in advance and track them.But now Shuerhaqi and his party don't have dogs around, so they can only rely on people to identify the signs of horse manure on the road.

Fortunately, the road ahead is not complicated, and the signs are very easy to recognize. Shuerhaqi, Zhang Yunxiu and his team quickly found Alinbao who was ambushing outside the village of Wenshanyi. Alinbao pointed to the village Inside, said:

"The group of people stayed inside. I went around and looked around. Without a boat, they couldn't cross the river. I have been guarding here. This is the only exit. Right now everyone is inside."

"Have you gone in to investigate?" Zhang Yunxiu asked.

"No, I don't dare to scare the snakes, lest they run away." A Linbao said.

Zhang Yunxiu thought about it, and carefully decided to arrange the action after the investigation.When he came, he also noticed that the geographical location of this Wenshan Township was very special, and he was afraid that someone would accidentally fall into an ambush.When Wang Jing received the news that Li Sui'er had been kidnapped, he didn't consider that it might be a decoy, but he still couldn't rule out the possibility of Nurhachi taking action. For this reason, he had to take the risk to come here, otherwise he would not be able to escape after so many years. All the efforts made for this will be in vain, and I will make a wedding dress for others for nothing.

Because the full picture of the beasts and flowers is in Nurhachi's base camp, although Zhang Yunxiu tried every means to take the picture with him when he set off, Nurhachi firmly disagreed, and he didn't even let him bring out the miniature picture for copying and backup.At that time, Zhang Yunxiu was dissatisfied with Nurhachi, and secretly thought that this person had bad intentions, so he was always on guard against him making trouble in the rear.If Nurhachi is allowed to snatch Li Sui'er away again, nothing will be left behind for Zhang Yunxiu, and he will definitely become an abandoned child in an instant.He had to catch Li Sui'er in order to contain Nurhachi.

He asked Shuerhaqi to pick another Jurchen entourage who was good at reconnaissance in the team, and let him go in with Alinbao to check the situation. He had to keep a high degree of concealment and absolutely not be noticed.

The two took orders, and then sneaked into the village.Not long after, they came back, Hui reported:

"The [-] Jurchens were all concentrated in the big ancestral hall in the village. Everyone in the village had fled for their lives, and the rest were empty houses, and there were only a few families in total. We all turned around, and there was no ambush. "

Zhang Yunxiu asked again: "Did you see Li Sui'er?"

"Inside, I was tied up with a few men, probably the Meng family. They were all gagged and lying on the straw pile in the corner of the ancestral hall, and someone was watching." A Linbao replied.

"Are there Guo Dayou and Meng Kuang among those men?"

"No, none of them."

Zhang Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and thought the same thing, if Guo and Meng were here, the situation would not be what it is now.Now that it was confirmed that these two troublesome guys were not there, Zhang Yunxiu decided to do it without delay.

He then asked, "Have you noticed what water they drink? Is it well water?"

"It's well water. There is a well in the backyard of the ancestral hall. The buckets are all wet. It's obvious that the water has just been fetched. There is also a large pot in the hall of the ancestral hall. It is gurgling. I don't know what it is cooking, but it is delicious." As he said that, A Linbao couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After running around for so long, he was tired and hungry, suffering from hunger and cold, and he especially wanted to have something warm to eat.

"Okay, take this, remember, sprinkle half of it into the well and half into the pot. If you can't find a chance to sprinkle it into the pot, don't force it. In short, they can't let them find us in advance. Then you two Stay inside, wait until everyone is down, and then come to inform us, understand?"

When the two got the order, they immediately went to execute it, and returned to the dark village again.On the other hand, Nurhachi, Zhang Yunxiu and others braved the severe cold and waited outside the village. They were extremely cautious and never stepped into the village, absolutely avoiding the danger of being ambushed.

After working like this, after waiting for nearly two hours, A Linbao finally came out and reported excitedly:

"They all fell!"

"Are you sure? There are no omissions?"

"No? We both counted three or four times, one hundred and three people, not one less." The two nodded.

"People are really dizzy? Go in and check to make sure?"

"Dizzy! Absolutely fainted. I even stabbed a few people's hands with a knife, blood holes were poked out, and I just didn't say a word." A Linbao said.

Hearing what they said, Zhang Yunxiu felt relieved.Shuerhaqi on the side has long been impatient, and said cursingly:

"Come on, you are too fucking timid and cautious. A handful of your medicine can stun a bear, so what are you doing here? Go in and take people away, damn it, I want it so cold."

Zhang Yunxiu had no intention of fighting with him, and the group entered the village.Even so, Zhang Yunxiu was still very vigilant about the surrounding situation, for fear that other undiscovered people would ambush here and catch them by surprise.

Fortunately, his worries were superfluous. After entering the ancestral hall, his eyes were full of Jurchens who were stumbling around. Looking closer, they were all stunned. No matter their appearance or hairstyle, they were all very pure Jurchens. Not someone else pretending.It wasn't until this time that Zhang Yunxiu finally confirmed that this group of people was indeed sent by Nurhachi, because he recognized a man in the team, and this man was Nurhachi's personal guard.

They entered the main hall of the ancestral hall, and they saw Sui'er, Mencius Xiu and his party tied up on the haystack in the northeast corner.At this time, they were not stunned, because they had not eaten, and Shuerhaqi's entourage, who was sent in with Alinbao, was guarding them so that they would not escape in disorder.

Seeing Li Sui'er staring at him angrily, Zhang Yunxiu's restless mood calmed down.He couldn't help laughing, standing beside the bound Li Sui'er, said:

"Li Sui'er, after all the twists and turns, you still fall into my hands in the end."

"Zhang Yunxiu...I admit it. I only have one request now. You let the Meng family go. Don't hurt them. I'll go with you. If you promise me this, I will honestly help you solve the whole picture. If you If you hurt them a little bit, even if you torture me to death, I won't do anything for you." Sui'er said to Zhang Yunxiu very calmly.

Zhang Yunxiu thought about it for a moment, thinking that killing the Meng family would do him no good, but it would cause Meng Kuang, a lunatic, to hunt him down thousands of miles away, and he would not be able to live a peaceful life in the future.If you keep your hands, you can keep your hands. Although he has forged a deep enmity with Meng Kuang by kidnapping Li Sui'er, after all, his life is still alive, so there is no need to form a mortal enmity.When Li Sui'er helped him unlock the map, everything would be irreparable. If he let Li Sui'er go, why would the Meng family want to fight him to the death?

What he had to deal with was the Ming court, not the Meng family. The Meng family only wanted to live a happy life for themselves. As long as Li Sui'er's life was still alive, the Meng family's hopes would not be lost.Of course, if the Meng family wants to bite him to death, he doesn't mind fighting them to the end.At this time, coaxing Li Sui'er is the most important thing. If he really senses the danger, it's not impossible to set up a bureau for the whole Meng family in the future to prevent future troubles.Anyway, this family has already committed a big taboo, and there is no need for him to do it himself, the court will get rid of them.

"Okay, I promise you." Zhang Yunxiu said.

So Zhang Yunxiu commanded the Jurchens under him to loosen the Meng family, and Meng Zixiu, Bai Yuyin, Meng An and Luo Daochang were released by them in advance.Under the persecution of the Jurchens' swords, bows and arrows, the four were forced to walk out of the ancestral hall step by step, and were exiled under Li Sui'er's nose.Meng Zixiu and Luo Daochang's eyes were red, and Bai Yuyin and Meng Ai were sobbing. They kept calling Sui'er's name, and Sui'er almost died of crying.The family was separated for life, and the grief made the Jurchen feel a little uncomfortable, as if she and others had done something outrageous.To hide their unease, they drove the Mengs away with horsewhips like livestock, keeping them out of their sight.

Afterwards, Li Sui'er was dragged out of the village by Shu Erhaqi, Zhang Yunxiu and others, got on a horse outside the village, and headed towards the dark mountains to the north.Meng Zixiu and the others kept chasing after them all the way, but they were walking on foot after all, and they couldn't beat the speed of the horses after all. They were left far behind and were never seen again.

Sui'er was tied behind Zhang Yunxiu's saddle and was sobbing all the time. Zhang Yunxiu was a little impatient. In order to stop Li Sui'er from crying, he sarcastically said:

"This is the Meng family you want to follow with all your heart? You didn't even dare to resist us, so you gave us up like this? You didn't dare to say a word, it was cowardly and incompetent."

"Hmph!" Sui'er stopped crying because of this sentence, but she just snorted coldly without any rebuttal.

Seeing that she finally stopped crying, Zhang Yunxiu was liberated from his restless mood, and for a while he couldn't help feeling proud.The Meng family still wanted to use Wang Daoming to trap him, but they didn't know that Wang Daoming reminded him of the trap of the Meng family and Jin Yiwei in the form of hidden characters in the letter.This Li Rusong could be regarded as helping him a lot. He also aimed at the gap between Li Rusong and the Jinyiwei headed by Guo Meng, and provoked their relationship, so as to defeat their plan.

It was also for this purpose that he specially sent a letter to Li Rusong and asked Li Rusong to send Zhan Yu out to meet him.Using Zhan Yu's strategy, Zhang Yunxiu almost began to take shape when he clarified his family background and the ambiguous relationship with the youngest daughter of the Meng family.The relationship between Zhan Yu and the Meng family has never been close or far away. With the Meng family's deplorable kindness, if something happens to Zhan Yu, they will definitely rescue him. To catch this person is to get an important bait. one.Second, it is precisely because of the ambiguous relationship between Zhan Yu and the Meng family that Li Rusong will become suspicious and wonder whether Zhan Yu is colluding with the Jinyiwei and extracting information from him to the people inside the court to punish Liaodong Lee.Coupled with the fact that he asked Zhan Yu to meet him by name, the seeds of doubt in Li Rusong's heart would sink deeper and deeper, and he would even suspect that the fact that Jin Yiwei came to the Korean battlefield to arrest him and recover the pictures of thousands of beasts and flowers might be aimed at him from beginning to end. The Li family in Liaodong framed Li Rusong's conspiracy.In this way, Li Rusong will definitely use his power in the hands of the highest commanding general to thwart Jin Yiwei's arrest plan.

Sure enough, everything was as he expected, and things developed step by step according to his expectation, even if Nurhachi sent someone to rob Li Sui'er, he had foreseen it.Now that he finally caught Li Sui'er, Zhan Yu's bait really played a great role.If Zhan Yu hadn't attracted the Jinyiwei led by Luo Xun to investigate Wangjing, he would not have discovered the frontline Jinyiwei scouts operating near Wangjing in advance, and he would not have discovered the vanguard of the Ming army stationed in the Bitu Pavilion in advance, so that he could formulate a plan. The Japanese army attacked with all their strength, defeated the Ming army, and strangled Li Rusong's plan.Although Li Rusong narrowly escaped death, this battle severely damaged the Ming army, and at the same time completely delayed the Jin Yiwei, making it impossible for them to return. It was basically a success.

Zhan Yu's value is far from being drained, and his background is the key.This kid is dumbfounded and stupid, Zhang Yunxiu is confident that he can reform him and cleanse his mind, making him completely obey his orders.Then release him to Daming, let him use his uncle's powerful background to climb up, especially let him control the military power.He will become a very important pawn, as long as he can control a certain amount of military power, great things will be accomplished in the future.So Zhan Yu is a baby bump in Zhang Yunxiu's mind, and he must be closely guarded.Long before Zhang Yunxiu and Shu Erhaqi left Wangjing to catch Sui'er, Zhang Yunxiu sent several other Jurchens to escort Zhan Yu to leave early and return to the Jurchens' territory.

But he didn't ask Zhan Yu to be sent back to Nurhachi, but to a safer place—Warka Department by the Tumen River.It is the territory of Shuerhaqi's father-in-law Suoerhe.Solhe is the father of Shuerhaqi's favorite concubine Guerjia, who is more partial to take care of Shuerhaqi, and has never been very convinced by Nurhachi.

"Hey, I said Zhang Wu, we can't go back now, my elder brother gave me this, you have to give me some advice, I have followed you to do so many things outside, you have to do it if you want to succeed." People who rely on me. Have you made a plan?" In the dark and silent mountain forest, the eight-man horse team held torches and walked on the mountain road with difficulty.Shu Erhaqi, who was walking side by side with Zhang Yunxiu, suddenly turned his head and whispered to Zhang Yunxiu.Under the light of the fire, his face showed a sinister look.

Zhang Yunxiu knew in his heart that cooperating with Nurhachi would be seeking skin from a tiger, and he had no ability to control Nurhachi.But his younger brother Shuerhaqi is much worse, and he is relatively obedient to himself and better in control. He would rather put aside Nurhachi and cooperate with Shuerhaqi, otherwise he will be in danger of being killed.

So he lowered his voice and replied: "Of course we can't go back for the time being. Let's go to Suo Erhe's territory first to avoid the pursuit of Jin Yiwei. Later, we will find a way to trick your elder brother out of the picture and get it in his hand."

Sui'er, who was lying on the horse's back, was almost knocked to pieces, and seemed to be fainting.But no one noticed that a sharp light flashed in her half-closed eyes at this moment.
