"Taitai, Jian Nu has sent out troops, and Mang Gurtai, the son of Lao Nu, is attacking Puhe in a large scale."
A Ming army soldier stayed up late at night and hurriedly came to report.
"How many slave soldiers are there? Which flag are they flying? Apart from Mang Gurtai, are there other slave soldiers around? Have they already attacked the city?"
"Back in Taitai, we only found Mang Gurtai, who was flying the Zhenglan Banner. He has surrounded Puhe on all sides, with about ten thousand people. When we came back, Jiannu had not yet attacked the city! But they We've been around for about half an hour."
When Xiong Tingbi heard this, he frowned and waved his hand to let him go down to rest.
Xiong Tingbi pondered for a while and said to a messenger next to him:
"Inform the public that there will be a meeting, so go quickly!"
And Xiong Tingbi has been thinking that Puhe is the gateway to Shenyang. If Puhe is lost, Shenyang will be an isolated city. The next time Jiannu will attack Shenyang, it will be in danger!
But it would be too risky to rescue them. The soldiers in Shenyang City don't have the courage to go out to fight in the field now. Even if they dare, they can't defeat the slave soldiers. I have been in Liaodong for two or three years, and I know how much the Liao army is. but.
And this is obviously a trap set by Jian Nu. Mang Gurtai besieged and refused to attack. He was obviously using the Pu River as a bait to lead his troops to rescue. The old slave had already been prepared. As soon as he left the city, he would probably be defeated. In this way, even Shenyang might lose.
"Taiwan, I heard that Jiannu sent troops? Please send troops to rescue Puhe as soon as possible!"
He Shixian, the chief military officer of Shenyang, shouted loudly when he came in.
"Everyone, please be patient. Are all the generals here?"
"Taitai, everyone is here!"
"Okay, let's start the discussion now. My intention is not to rescue Puhe. Shenyang City will strengthen its vigilance to prevent the old slave from being caught off guard."
Xiong Tingbi said calmly.
When He Shixian heard this, he became angry.
"What are you talking about? Puhe is the barrier of Shenyang. How can you just watch Puhe being captured by wild boar skins?"
The other generals were relieved when they heard this. They were afraid that Xiong Tingbi would take them out of the city to fight with the slave soldiers. Most of them believed that the slave soldiers were invincible.
Moreover, if Puhe City is lost, it is lost. What’s the big deal? As long as the slave soldiers don’t come to attack Shenyang, they can still live in the city and enjoy life.
Even if the attack reaches Shenyang, they can retreat to Liaoyang. There are Ningyuan and Jinzhou behind Liaoyang. Why panic? The Ming Dynasty is so big, they can just find a place to go.
"Everyone, it's not that this officer is greedy and refuses to save me for fear of death, but he keeps exploring all night. This is obviously a trap set by this old slave for us."
Xiong Tingbi told everyone about the military information about the night-time investigation, and everyone became nervous when they heard it. Even the grumpy He Shixian stopped talking after hearing this, because he knew that what Xiong Tingbi said made sense and that it was indeed something wrong. for.
Xiong Tingbi even said that Lao Nu's target might be Shenyang, and Puhe was just a ploy to confuse him, because only one of the Eight Banners of Jiannu showed up this time, and tens of thousands of troops from the Seven Banners did not show up.
"Everyone, if Puhe is lost, Liaodong will not change much. It's just that we are under greater pressure. But as long as Shenyang is still in our hands, we can take it back in the future. But if Shenyang is lost, Liaodong will change. How can I face His Majesty?"
Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice.
All the generals were silent when they heard this, because most of them did not even have the courage to leave the city, let alone go out to fight in the field.
And those who dare to fight, no matter how brave they are, can only serve as military merits to the slave soldiers by themselves.
Of course Xiong Tingbi knew the twists and turns involved, and he also knew these people clearly. If only half of the people had the courage of He Shixian, he would dare to take some of the elite out of the city to fight. Unfortunately, the reality is so cruel.
"To prevent the old slave from attacking, the whole city is now on alert. Everyone should go back to the military camp and gather soldiers."
After everyone left, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice:
"I hope that His Majesty, who has just ascended the throne, can understand!"
Puhe
At this time, people in the city were in panic, because they knew that once the city was breached, no one would survive. They only hoped that Xiong Jinglue from Shenyang could send troops to rescue them as soon as possible.
It's a pity that they haven't waited for news of reinforcements for a long time. It has been more than two hours since Jiannu besieged the city. The city is now lifeless. Everyone knows that Xiong Jinglue has given up on them and no one has any hope.
Outside the city, Mang Gurtai was very agitated. His father ordered him to attack Puhe, but he told him to besiege instead of attacking. He had to wait for his order before he could attack the city. At first, Mang Gurtai just wanted to enter the city. After killing those despicable Chinese dogs, it had been a long time since he felt comfortable killing all around.
And the impetuous Mang Gurtai finally waited for the messenger from Lao Nu:
"Xiong Manzi will not come. The Great Khan asked Beile to capture Puhe as quickly as possible, kill all those Han dogs, and then destroy the city and return to the old village (Hetuala)!"
Sure enough, this was a trap. Lao Nu personally led two yellow flags to guard the official road from Shenyang to Puhe, while his sons Huang Taiji and Daishan guarded the other two paths respectively, preparing to ambush Xiong Tingbi and eliminate the army in Shenyang City, thinking that In the future, they will attack Shenyang to clear some stumbling blocks. This is also a tactic used by Lao Nu, to surround the point and bring reinforcements.
So Mang Gurtai happily issued the order to attack the city. Jiannu quickly captured Puhe in only a quarter of an hour. Soon the city was filled with wailing cries and thousands of people were attacked. The massacre of slave soldiers.
In the evening, the slave soldiers returned with their loads, and the sounds of slaves bragging and spanking were heard everywhere. They asked each other how many Han people you killed and the money you robbed?
Puhe has become a hell on earth, with dead bodies of Han people everywhere, and the city is empty!

Nanhaizi
Zhu Youxiao moved here directly after the imperial meeting, integrated himself into the army, and became one with the sergeants. During this period, he went out with the sergeants every day, which greatly won the morale of the army, and Zhu Youxiao's martial arts skills , Equestrian skills and archery skills have improved a lot, and he is better than most sergeants. He has won the hearts of the soldiers. They did not expect that the emperor was so hardworking and so powerful.
Since those civil servants were dealt with in the last imperial meeting, they have become much more honest and do not dare to take care of Zhu Youxiao at all.
Moreover, he has to personally handle the entire army competition. He will also participate when the time comes to see how his long training has gone, and also to let himself know how much he weighs.
"Your Majesty, Xu Xianchun is here!"
After Zhu Youxiao shot an arrow, it hit the rake's heart, and he said angrily:
"Bring him to me!"
Xu Xianchun came to the shooting range, knelt down and said:
"I respectfully send you your holy greetings!"
"I am safe and sound!"
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he shot another arrow, then turned back and asked:
"Has the house confiscation been completed?"
Xu Xianchun bowed and said:
"Back to Your Majesty, I found a total of 670,000 taels of silver, 36,700 taels of gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and about 410,000 taels of silver from shop properties from the homes of those ministers!"
"Yeah, that's good. How are the civil servants keeping an eye on you?"
Now the money to support the army is back. As expected, confiscating homes is a good business.
"Your Majesty, everything is under control!"
"good!"
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he drew his bow again and hit the bullseye again!
