As early as October of the sixth year of Tianqi, the Dongjiang Army detected the internal information of Jianlu. Mao Wenlong sent someone to tell the North Korean border officials, "Nurhachi's fourth son Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne and ordered to seize Dongjiang first to eliminate the fundamental worries.
The second offense was in Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and other cities."
However, North Korea did not pay attention to the reminder to pay attention to border defense, mainly because it had a bad relationship with the Dongjiang Army and also disliked Mao Wenlong.
In December, Mao Wenlong sent another secret message, reminding the North Korean king: You people with the surname Han (referring to Han Run) surrendered to the slaves and told the leaders of the Jianlu people about the situation in your country. The Jianlu were building many siege equipment.
, it looks like they will invade this winter.”
Therefore, the Dongjiang Army had already known the news that Zhou Qing and his companions found out. The fact that he was exposed in order to let his companions go back to report the news was not as important as he thought.
Guo Dajing vaguely remembered that this happened. After Huang Taiji came to power, he first conquered North Korea and then attacked Hu Duntu. He first solved his worries and then opened a way to attack the Ming Dynasty, laying the groundwork for Jisi's change.
Foreshadowing was still foreshadowing, and the conditions were not yet fully mature. When Mao Wenlong was killed and the Dongjiang Army was in civil strife, Huang Taiji finally felt relieved and sent out a large army to detour to conquer the Ming Dynasty.
"That-that-that-" Guo Dajing pointed in the direction and asked the second question in an anxious and unbearable way, "Zhuang-yuan."
Zhou Qing sighed and said, "If it weren't for close reconnaissance, I wouldn't have been discovered and ended up in this situation."
After a pause, he continued: "There are more than twenty Aha in the manor. There were originally twenty-three slaves. Now some have been recruited, and now there are only about ten left."
Guo Dajing blinked and looked at Zhou Qing, expressing doubts that he could obtain such detailed information.
Zhao Qingshan frowned slightly and asked: "Did you sneak into the manor? Or did someone in the manor reveal it to you?"
Zhou Qing did not hesitate and explained: "Aha in the manor, some of them are fellow villagers from Chen's village. They came out to chop wood, and I approached them secretly, and that's how I got the information."
There were only a dozen Jian slaves left, and I killed two of them here.
Guo Dajing's eyes swept across the two corpses, and he raised his head to meet Zhao Qingshan's eyes.
"We can't deal with more than a dozen slaves." Zhao Qingshan denied it simply, "Even if more than 200 people from the village were to attack, we wouldn't be their match."
There were more than a dozen slaves who had martial arts skills and experience. If they were to fight head-on, they would not be able to deal with the common people whose feet were soft due to cold and hunger.
I am afraid that even the Ming army, which does not have several times the strength, cannot defeat the brave Jiannu.
Zhou Qing also agreed with Zhao Qingshan's opinion and said: "The Jianlu cavalry are superb and extremely fierce. No matter how many people there are, it's still sheep versus tigers. I originally thought about using poison, but those Aha didn't have the courage.
"
Zhao Qingshan denied it because he knew that Guo Dajing, a stupid young man, probably thought that a dozen Jiannu were not too strong and would take risks.
Zhou Qing was talking about things based on the facts and did not expect Guo Dajing's intentions at all.
Guo Dajing smiled naively, without commenting, but pointed at Zhou Qing and said, "Look at the horse?"
Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhou Qing and said, "We will find a hidden place for you. Can you keep an eye on these two horses and wait for us for a few days?"
Zhou Qing nodded quickly and said: "I have a hiding place, and it's no problem to take care of these two horses. The horses can survive if they are hungry for two or three days, but they will not survive after a long time."
Guo Dajing stretched out three fingers towards Zhou Qing and felt helpless and tired at his slow, sloth-like speech.
"Okay." Zhou Qing agreed happily, but his eyes glanced at the dead wild boar not far away.
Guo Dajing speaks slowly, but has a flexible mind and quick actions.
He stepped forward, picked up his machete, chopped and chopped, divided the wild boar into several large pieces, gave almost half of it to Zhou Qing, tied it with a rope and put it on the horse's back.
"Thank you, thank you so much." Zhou Qing repeatedly held up his hands and stood up with Guo Dajing's help.
After being dragged through the snow, Zhou Qing miraculously suffered only flesh and blood wounds all over his body. The most serious wound on his head did not have much impact.
He thought that Guo Dajing and Zhao Qingshan were trying to instigate the people in the village to escape together, and when they returned, this would be considered his achievement.
But he never expected that Guo Dajing, a young man with a simple and honest face, had bigger plans, so big that he couldn't even imagine it.
What Zhao Qingshan thought was that with the horses and Zhou Qing's guidance, the "together" mentioned by Guo Dajing would be more likely to be realized. He thought that "together" was the five people living in the same house now.
Guo Dajing and Zhao Qingshan rode together and sent Zhou Qing deep into the woods. There was a dilapidated underground cellar there, which was Zhou Qing's hiding place.
Obviously, this is not the first time Zhou Qing has sneaked here to carry out spying or incitement missions.
Seeing that Zhou Qing was fine, Guo Dajing and Zhao Qingshan only stayed for a while before carrying a few pieces of wild boar meat on their backs and heading out of the forest and down the mountain.
As night fell soon, the two walked out of the woods from the other side and bypassed the crime scene.
The wind blew in waves, and the snow on the trees and the snow dust on the ground were flying in the air, as if it had snowed.
"If the wind blows like this, it can be covered in one night." Zhao Qingshan wrapped his torn cotton jacket tightly, his face turned red from the wind.
Guo Dajing said "hmm" and nodded vigorously, feeling that Zhao Qingshan seemed to be comforting him.
On the way back, the two of them rarely spoke. Guo Dajing knew that Zhao Qingshan had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask, and Guo Dajing didn't want to take the initiative to lie to him.
Not far from the cave where Guo Dajing hid things, Zhao Qingshan said solemnly: "Leave a small piece and put the rest of the wild boar meat in it!"
If a small piece is not enough to satisfy you, you can drink some broth and you can cope with it.
Guo Dajing knew that Zhao Qingshan was preparing to escape, so he readily agreed, took a few pieces of wild boar meat and walked towards the cave.
Climbing into the cave, Guo Dajing did not put the meat in the cave. Instead, while Zhao Qingshan couldn't see it, he put it into the space along with some debris.
Among them are the simple skis and poles he whittled.
Zhao Qingshan was waiting outside, but when he saw Guo Dajing getting out of the cave with a piece of wild boar meat in his hand, his face couldn't help but darken.
"Save strength and energy." Guo Dajing showed an honest smile, raised the meat in his hand towards Zhao Qingshan, and explained.
Zhao Qingshan was silent for a moment, nodded, and didn't think much about this matter.
You must eat and drink enough. These two or three days are the critical, hard and dangerous time.
Although there is food in the space, Guo Dajing will still have great uses in the future, and he cannot create all the light at once. You must know that in his heart, escaping from the Jianlu-controlled area and getting rid of being enslaved is only the first step.
Guo Dajing followed Zhao Qingshan, looked up in the direction of the manor, and had a rough plan in mind.
