Please ask me to be the emperor

"Oh? Shi Tingzhu wants me to attack Jinzhou?" After Sun Degong got the news that night, he couldn't help but hesitate.

It's not that he doesn't understand the meaning of lips and teeth, but he is really uneasy about the rebel army being able to dispatch such a strong force this time.

Yizhou is a hundred miles away from Guangning and ninety miles away from Jinzhou. If we travel both ways, we can get there in one day and one night.

However, the key issue is that Sun Degong was able to rush to Jinzhou City in one day and night, and the "Shun Bandits" who also besieged Guangning were able to rush to Yizhou City in one day and night.

If Guangning is lost, he can still sit and guard the isolated city; if Yizhou is lost, he will become a lost dog. He wants to sit and defend the isolated city but cannot get it.

"No, no, I have to find out the reality of Jinzhou City!" Sun Degong pondered for a while and finally made up his mind.

It turned out that as more and more Liaodong soldiers defected to Hou Jin, the two sides formed a situation where you were surrounded by me, and you were surrounded by me. Therefore, the defensive-oriented Ming army was penetrated like a sieve.

As Zu Dashou's residence, Jinzhou City was well defended, but it was still useless.

Otherwise, there would be no situation where the rebels had just set off and Daishan and Duoduo had already received the news.

Sun Degong was a surrendered general of the Ming Army and had quite a few sources of information in Jinzhou City.

After passing the two people, Sun Degong really understood clearly.

Someone had already come to report: "As soon as Zu Dashou left, there was a unique "Shun Thief" general named Bai Guangen in the city, and there were about seven thousand defenders."

"Among them, there are about three thousand "shun thieves"; there are about a thousand people in the Guanmen infantry group; and there are also three thousand Jinzhou defenders. Apart from that, there is no one else."

"Oh? The number of seven thousand?" Sun Degong pondered for a moment, and suddenly one of them was bigger than the other.

These 7,000 men and horses were either too many or too few, which made him feel uncomfortable.

It turns out that unlike the three powerful Shi brothers, Sun Degong only had seven Niulu under his command.

From these seven Niulu, he could probably mobilize more than 2,000 soldiers.

Of course, these two thousand or so soldiers are all reinforcements capable of fighting. If they are to defend the city, more troops can be mobilized.

However, with only these two thousand, how could they deal with the seven thousand defenders in Jinzhou City?

"It seems that we need to ask Karaqin and Tumote for help!" Sun Degong hesitated for a while and couldn't help but make up his mind.

It turns out that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to eliminate the threat from the Mongolian tribes, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established the Ning Guard in the upper reaches of the Liao River and established the vassal king Ning Wang here.

At the beginning of the Jingnan period, Zhu Di "borrowed troops" from him to avoid worries and to enhance his strength.

When the Jingnan was successful, Zhu Di moved the powerful King Ning to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and deprived him of his military power, so that other vassal kings would not follow suit. As a result, the Daning area became empty.

Later, the three guards of Duoyan moved south, and this area became the residence of the three guards of Duoyan.

During the Jiajing period, the Han'er tribe moved eastward here to avoid the threat of Tumut.

Later, during Hongtai's Western Expedition, he was defeated and inserted into the Han Dynasty's Khan King Hu Duntu, forcing him to move westward.

After Hong Tai defeated Huduntu, he ordered the Mongolian tribes who had taken refuge in Houjin to return eastward. This became the base of the left and right wings of Haraqin and Tumut.

There are approximately more than 6,000 households in these four Mongolian tribes, and they can mobilize almost 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers. Therefore, they often provide assistance to Sun Degong and others.

When Zu Dashou was besieged by the Daling River, the key was that Sun Degong united with these four Mongolian soldiers to cut off the connection between Daling River City and Jinzhou.

Now he is ready to repeat his old tricks and give the "shun thieves" some color.

Nasun had already decided on his plan to achieve success, so he sent envoys to ask for help from the Karaqin and Tumote tribes.

After receiving the letter for help from Sun Degong, the four people of Nagaraqin, Zhasak Seleng on the left, Zhasak Gulusqibu on the right, Tumote left Zhasak Shanba, and Zhasak Wenbuchuer on the right, Instead of delaying, they summoned Ding Zhuang one after another and headed east into the territory of the Ming Dynasty to join Sun Degong.

"How many people are here?" Sun Degong asked immediately as soon as he saw Zhasak.

"One of our troops sent out a thousand elite soldiers, and a total of four thousand cavalry came!" the four Zasak couldn't help laughing.

"The number of six thousand? Although it is one thousand less than the 'Shun Thieves', it is not bad at all!" Sun Degong didn't think that the combat effectiveness of the "Shun Thieves" was any better than that of the Ming army, and he was not afraid at all.

"That's true!" Seleng, Gulusi Qibu, Shanba and Wenbu Chufuer, the four Zasaks, nodded, obviously agreeing with Sun Degong's point of view.

Some prejudices are deep-rooted. Even if Hou Jin lost 100,000 troops in the battle within the pass, and both Hong Taihaoge and his son were killed, it still could not stop the blind sense of superiority of some "second devils".

The five people have decided on a plan to drive directly to Jinzhou along the Daling River Valley.

Zhang Sanbai and Bai Guangen and others had not set up sentries and scouts in the valley. However, there were so many cavalry under the command of the four Zhasaks that almost no one turned back after they tried their best to kill them.

There was nothing in the morning, but in the evening, Bai Guangen felt something was wrong.

According to military law, among the sentries and scouts under his command, one person must return every hour to report.

If someone is delayed in one or two places, that's okay, but there is absolutely no reason why everything will be delayed.

Bai Guangen quickly found Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief Hou Gongji and expressed his views to him.

Hou Gongji was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is King Shun's military law so strict?"

When Bai Guangen heard this, he was even more shocked: "Can such an important matter be a trivial matter?"

"Hehe, although it is written like this in the Art of War, the words of the saint are also written in black and white. How many people in the world can do it?" Hou Gongji smiled awkwardly.

"No wonder your boss lost the battle!" Bai Guangen was speechless after hearing this. Only then did he understand why the Ming army was always ambushed and attacked. It turned out that the basic intelligence work was not done well.

He shook his head helplessly and reminded: "Hurry up, quickly rectify the soldiers, keep your body in armor, and keep your hands in blade. There will definitely be changes tonight!"

"Isn't this possible? We have tens of thousands of troops ahead. Who would be brave enough to come to our Jinzhou?" Hou Gongji couldn't help but said in surprise.

"Your Hou family is also a general, how can you be so naive? Don't you hear the saying of 'surprise'?" Bai Guangen shook his head and reminded, "If you use soldiers like this in the future, you might as well go home and become a rich man, so as not to waste your time. He lost his fortune and his life!"

"Hey, General Bai, why do you say that to me? Why don't I just listen to you?" Hou Gongji knew very well that Bai Guangen was also a popular figure around Zhang Shun, so he quickly assured him.

"Although I was a little lax before, can I change it in the future?"

"By the way, do the defenders in Jinzhou City also need to tell them so as not to panic."

"No, so as not to alert the enemy!" Bai Guangen shook his head, his eyes becoming sharper.

It turns out that when Zhang Sanbai and Bai Guangen received Zhang Shun's order to seize Guangning, they specifically reminded the generals to beware of Hou Jin's spies.

This Bai Guangen was originally from the Shaanxi Rebels. Before meeting Zhang Shun, like most of the rebels, he also experienced being chased by officers and soldiers with no way to go to the sky or the ground, and a situation where life and death were separated by a thin line, so he attached great importance to confidentiality. .

If Bai Guangen hadn't been worried that the three thousand troops under his command might not be able to withstand the Tatar attack, he wouldn't even want to inform Hou Gongji, who was a general in Yulin.

The two of them had made up their mind. On the one hand, they had their soldiers uniformly dressed and on standby, while on the other hand, they sent soldiers to patrol various city gates to guard against any changes.

When it was past midnight, the night was getting darker, and there was still no movement in the city. Hou Gongji couldn't help but yawned and said: "The general has just left Jinzhou for three or five days. Even if someone comes to trick him into sneaking a surprise attack, I'm afraid it won't be so fast. I guess the enemy won’t come this time.”

"It's best if you don't come. If you come and we all fall asleep, I'm afraid it will be fatal!" Bai Guangen laughed when he heard this.

"What's more, when the rebels attacked the city and Zhuan Yin was tired and exhausted, and his spirit was relaxed, it was not much different to come to the Tatars."

"Isn't this possible?" When Hou Gongji heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked, secretly thinking that he was lucky.

It turned out that when the imperial court mobilized Shanhaiguan's elite troops to go to the mainland to "suppress bandits", Hou Gongji thought that most of the "bandits" were from the same hometown, so he handed over the task to You Zhaiwen and others.

If the "obedient thief" was indeed what he said, he might have gone to the mainland and would have already confessed to go in.

How could Bai Guangen know what Hou Gongji was thinking?

Just as the two were chatting, there was suddenly a faint sound, and then a fire appeared in the dark night. It was obvious that someone was stealing the city.

"Quick, go to support!" When Hou Gongji saw this situation, he couldn't help but put on his helmet quickly and was about to lead his troops to rescue.

"Liang Bi, lead five hundred people over!" Bai Guangen gave the order calmly, then turned to Hou Gongji and smiled, "There is no rush, at least we have to wait until we have determined the enemy's direction before we do anything. It’s never too late to calculate!”
