304 Make trouble
The rat tail of the money did not answer immediately, but turned around again and stared at the busy court official army. After confirming that it was not Jianlu's disguise, he turned around and said seriously to Li Laiheng: "This master, Jianlu is already gathering heavy troops and preparing to detour the Mongolian grassland to invade Shaanxi. The former governor of Ji Liao, Hong Chengchou, led the way, trying to occupy the Qin land as the foundation and plot against the world again!"
When he heard this, all the Ming soldiers who heard it were shocked!
Before everyone heard this, they never thought that Jianlu would attack a place so far from Liaodong?
Therefore, after they came to their senses, they began to speak in unison.
"Impossible, how could Jianlu run so far?"
"Who are you? Could it be that you scared us when you saw us arrive and tried to drive us back to the gate?"
"It's true, is Jianlu so ambitious?"
"This scum Hong Chengchou deserves to be damned!"
“…”
Li Laiheng also came to his senses. He was very sensitive when he heard the words Hong Chengchou. When he was still young, he had heard that Jianlu had once expeditioned to Guihua City, which was outside northern Shaanxi.
If Jianlu really had to detour the Mongolian grasslands, as long as he was farther away from the border, no one would have thought that there would be such a possibility, then he would be successfully attacked.
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted, "Who are you? Why should I believe what you say?"
When the others heard this, they immediately stopped and pricked their ears to hear what this person answered?
When the money rat tail heard this, he quickly replied: "I am Wu Liu, a mate of Wu Guerrilla. I brought a letter to General Zu under the order of Wu Guerrilla. I returned to Shenyang just now. So I know!"
Speaking of this, he quickly added: "Jianlu mobilized a large number of troops, and the cavalry south of Anshan Post were also transferred back to Shenyang, just to prepare for the expedition to Qin. Although the news here is unclear, as long as you catch someone and ask if there is any cavalry mobilization, you can know whether what I said is true or false!"
Of course, Jianlu could not tell all over the world about such a thing. The closer it is to the border of Ming Dynasty, the more confidential it is. Except for the leader of the highest status, others do not know what the cavalry was transferred to do.
If you want to go to Shenyang on the border of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the hinterland of Liaodong, Anshan Post is a checkpoint, just like Shanhaiguan on the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, at this time, the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong have cut off contact for many years, and the Ming army is a defensive strategy. Even if it is not taken away at night, it is impossible to penetrate into the hinterland of Liaodong. Therefore, generally speaking, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to know that Jianlu is going to make an expedition.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not notice it before several times when Jianlu entered the pass. Suddenly, he was attacked into the capital, and then there was a chaos. He quickly served the king and the bandits became enraged again.
At this time, Li Laiheng still frowned and didn't say anything when he heard this. Obviously, he was also the kind that he would not believe easily.
It is no wonder that during the years of war he fought with the imperial army, there must be similar situations and those who have learned lessons.
Seeing this, Wu Liu gritted his teeth and reached out to tear open the lower collar of his clothes, took out a piece of rolled up paper from it, and handed it on both hands: "This is the reply letter that General Zu asked me to bring back to Wu Guerrilla."
When Li Laiheng heard this, he took it and looked at it. It was indeed written, but he couldn't understand it because he couldn't read it. It happened that Li Ming came across it and asked him to read it. However, the content of the letter was very strange, and the content inside was messy and he couldn't understand it at all.
When Wu Liu saw this, he quickly explained: "This is a secret letter, only my Wu Guerrilla and General Zu know how to read it."
Hearing this, Li Laiheng handed him back the secret letter and said, "Your master is no longer a guerrilla man, and he has been promoted to deputy general. Now he is ordered to go to Sichuan."
When Wu Liuyi heard this, he couldn't help but feel very happy and was also a little stunned.
He was happy that he didn't expect his master to be promoted twice so quickly. It seemed that he was about to return to the commander.
What was a little dumbfounded was that Wu Sangui ran to Sichuan and sent this secret letter, which was probably the year of the monkey and horse month.
At this time, Li Laiheng had no doubt about Wu Liu's identity. If Jianlu had pretended, it would be impossible for this secret letter to be prepared in advance.
This is also said in time that the news Wu Liu said is true.
After reaching this conclusion, Li Laiheng immediately looked up and down Wu Liu.
The look at him made Wu Liu feel a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, I heard Li Laiheng ask him: "Are you very familiar with Liaodong?"
"Of course!" Wu Liuyi said proudly, "If I were not familiar with Liaodong, my master would not send me to Shenyang to deliver the letter!"
Li Laiheng actually guessed this point and asked him. At this time, he was confirmed and asked him again: "Do you want to make great contributions?"
"Make great contributions?" Wu Liu said with a little puzzled hearing this, "What great contributions? Report the news about Liaodong to the court?"
"This is indeed a credit, but not enough!" Li Laiheng waved his hand immediately when he heard this, and said a little disdainfully, "Do you know what we are here for?"
The person who was chosen by Wu Sangui to deliver the letter to Shenyang was definitely a smart person. When he heard this, he turned around and saw that the cavalry were all coming off the ship. He flashed his inspiration and immediately guessed: "Can it be an attack on the hinterland of Liaodong and restraining Jianlu?"
Although this matter has been gone for many years, the purpose of Dongjiang Town in the past was to restrain the Jianlu of Liaodong! It was just a pity that it was destroyed later!
When he heard what he said, Li Laiheng immediately clapped his hands and said, "I need you to be the guide, and to deal with Jianlu hard and force Jianlu to return to the army. This is a great contribution. I will report your contribution to General Yan of Ming and Duke of Mingxing. By then, you will definitely not be just a servant!"
Of course, the cavalry that went on expedition this time considered the issue of guides. Guanning cavalry were all Liao people, many of them were not only Liao people near Shanhaiguan, but also Liao people who retreated from the hinterland of Liaodong. These people were responsible for the task of military guides.
However, these Liao people have not returned for many years. After the Jianlu occupied it, they didn't know what the situation here was. If there was a choice, Li Laiheng was of course willing to choose a better guide.
Therefore, he asked this question.
For Wu Liu, if General Yan is not very good, Duke Xingguo has come to Shanhaiguan, of course he knows it clearly.
As long as you are a human being, who doesn’t want to go to a higher level. At most, it doesn’t violate the principles or not. It must be better than the moment.
Therefore, Wu Liu's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this. He immediately put his fists on his face and said to Li Laiheng: "I am willing to serve you!"
As for the problem of secret letters, it is easy to solve. Just send someone back. Anyway, other people can't understand this secret letter except Wu Sangui. Not to mention, Wu Sangui has already gone to Sichuan. If you want to see this letter, you don't know that it is the year of the monkey and horse month.
When Li Laiheng heard this, he immediately laughed. He turned around and said to Chen Mingyu, "How about it? If it is a small fight, Jianlu may not return to the army. This time, he will attack Haizhou and beat Jianlu to hurt so that Jianlu can return to the army to relieve the dangers in Qin!"
After hearing this, Chen Mingyu said what else could they say. The purpose of their coming was to not allow Jianlu to leave Liaodong and invade the pass. Yan Yingyuan emphasized this point many times before coming.
So, after the two discussed, they decided to send the clutch back to Shanhaiguan immediately, and report to Yan Yingyuan with this secret letter from Wu Liu, reminding the court to be alert to the invasion of Jianlu. They also reported their plans to ensure that they would make as big a deal as possible and drag back to the Liaodong Jianlu army to fight.
When he saw the clutch leaving the shore and sailing into the sea, Li Laiheng turned around. Anyone could tell that he was a little excited.
Just in the forest beside the beach, Li Laiheng took out the Liaodong map prepared in advance and asked Wu Liu to explain what he knew about the Liaodong Jianlu situation.
Jianlu drew cavalry from all over the place to leave. This news is really good for them. This means that their mobility is incomparable to Jianlu.
When facing Li Laiheng's question, if he wanted to seize Haizhou City, Wu Liu came from there, so he also provided quite valuable information.
He only heard him say to Li Laiheng: "Since Jianlu seized Jinzhou and Ningyuan, the heavy troops have moved forward. Not long ago, 20,000 North Korean musketeers have just passed by to enrich Ningyuan Jinzhou's defense. And the troops in Haizhou City have been much less. But because some of the materials still need to be transferred to Ningjin's line, the forces of Jianlu and the eight banners of Manchu and Han are about 10,000."
"How powerful is the combat power?" Li Laiheng paid more attention to this issue when he heard this.
After hearing this, Wu Liu thought for a while and replied: "The strongest cavalry in Haizhou City had been transferred back to Shenyang, and the main force of Jianlu had also been transferred to Ningyuan. If we talk about defending the original Dongjiang Town army, there should be no problem."
Speaking of this, he turned around and looked at the cavalry that had already disembarked and was about to finish, then turned around and said, "But I think with the elite level of our army, we should be able to beat it!"
Li Laiheng was not satisfied after hearing this. Because Wu Liu's opinion, the loss would be huge. This is not a good deal for Li Laiheng, who was born into a thief.
Therefore, he asked again: "Where are the Han people in Haizhou City? Will they help us?"
Hearing this, Wu Liu did not answer immediately.
