Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Triangular battle formation

The Jinlu annexed the tribes of the Mongolian Chaohua, and vowed to the sky with the seven hatreds to destroy the Ming Dynasty. It was called the Great Jin Khanate internally and Manchuria externally. The Jinlu first occupied Qinghe in Fushun, and then captured Kaiyuan Tieling with Eight Banners soldiers. Under the command of Yang Jinglue, the 240,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out in Saerhu Mountain. Then, Xiong Tingbi used the tactics of clearing the field with a strong wall to block the arrogant Nurhachi. In the end, treacherous ministers and traitors squeezed Xiong Tingbi away, Yuan Yingtai managed Liaodong, and lost Shenyang and Liaoyang in one breath. So far, Liaodong was lost, and North Korea was cut off. More than 100,000 Liaodong residents, some fled to the pass, and some became The obedient people of the Great Jin Khanate.

Isn't it sad that the Ming Dynasty had suffered two fatal blows, but they didn't know that the catastrophe was coming? The storm is coming, and the rumors are everywhere. Xin Wenzhao knew that great changes were about to happen, and secretly prepared to respond. The Nancheng Command Division is located at the east end of Xuanwu Gate.When the license was not issued, Xin Wenzhao took a servant, turned from Xiaoxi Market into Xuanwumen Street, and walked towards the commander's yamen.He has a few pieces of information to confirm, and he hopes to find Deputy Commander Jiang for answers.

There are many pedestrians on the street, and the shops and merchants on both sides gather. As he was walking, a middle-aged man with a sallow face in a green straight gown on the right back, bowed his head and walked straight, as if he had something important to do, hurried past him. Suddenly he took a step sideways, just to the right of his body, grabbed his right arm with his left hand, stuck a small sharp dagger out of the cuff of his right hand, pressed against his flank, and said in a low voice: don't Stop, man, come with me. The change was hasty, and there were many pedestrians on the street. Who knew that someone would dare to commit murder in the busy city in broad daylight?

Shocked in his heart, he turned his head and looked back.His servant has been held hostage by two other middle-aged men, and they are begging him for help with desperate eyes. The man who restrained him tightened his hand, the dagger pointed through his clothes and felt cold, and said again: "Be wise, I am a connoisseur, a master of Taoism." Of course he knew that the other party was a master, and the tip of the dagger was very accurate in recognizing the position. With just a slight push forward, the tip of the dagger could penetrate into the internal organs. If you make a sound, the sword will shake, and you will be dead.

He let the other party hold him hostage as he said, and asked calmly: "Friend, do we have a holiday?"Did you recognize the wrong person? Don't ask.snort!You don't want the dagger to penetrate an inch, do you?The middle-aged man asked fiercely. A hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses, and I'm not confused. Isn't this already at the mercy of your Excellency?I don't think your Excellency wants to lay dead bodies in the middle of the street, do you? So you have to understand. In the first shop on the right, a young man dressed in rambunctious clothes suddenly appeared, raised his hand and shouted: "Brother Xin, look across the street, Brother Xu is looking for you."

He took advantage of the moment when he turned his head and looked to the left, and took advantage of the moment when the other party was distracted, he turned around and threw his hands away. Dangerous, extremely dangerous! laugh!The dagger cut through the side garment and cut a small bloody seam, which was very dangerous. The middle-aged man who was restraining him was caught off guard and couldn't grab his arm. He was shaken and the dagger was useless. At this moment, he flew forward and bravely captured people. The middle-aged man wanted to escape, but it was too late. Unable to escape, he had to fight desperately, pulled away his horse stance, swung the dagger, and slashed his outstretched hand obliquely.

The swing of the dagger stopped abruptly, the middle-aged man straightened his upper body, hummed, and was about to fall.He happened to grab the dagger-holding wrist of the opponent, let it go suddenly, and with a tiger roar, he rushed towards a man in Tsing Yi on the corner of the street. boom!The middle-aged man who was holding him back finally fell, and a flying knife handle appeared under his right side. It was killing people again, and the strength of the flying knife was extremely terrifying. The man in Tsing Yi on the street corner retreated into the alley, disappearing for a moment.

With a distance of three zhang, Xin Wenzhao had no choice but to stop and turn around to save his companion. However, the two middle-aged men who kidnapped the servant had already given up their prey and fled into the crowd.Congren's face was gray and defeated, he was staggering and was about to fall down. He was shocked, and rushed forward to help him, and when he got his hand, he knew it was over, a large bloodstain oozes out from under the man's side, and he was fatally wounded. The crowd on the street suddenly became chaotic, and someone shouted: "Killed people!" The man dressed as a Poppi approached, and whispered: "Come on, come with me."

He picked up his injured companion and hurried away from the scene. The person dressed as a rogue took the person who was killed by the throwing knife and evacuated. When they arrived at a house in an alley, there were several friends of Xin Wenzhao inside. A young man glanced at the man who hit the knife, and blurted out: "He is Sanshou Yang, the powerful arm of the Three Heroes of Jizhou!" Xin Wenzhao snorted and said: Good!go find them.At dusk, they meet at the Datong bridge outside Dongbianmen, but they don't need to say hello to each other, and they break up into pieces.

Going east along the Datong River, the trails on the north bank of the river are rarely traveled, especially after dark. Xin Wenzhao took only two companions and headed east along the trail. The people from Jizhou used a small village as an invisible meeting place, thinking they were invisible, but in fact they were completely under the watchful eye of Xin Wenzhao. This small village is about five miles away from the city, so it doesn't attract much attention. The sky is full of sunset, and the earth is red. Among the willow bushes on the river bank, two monks in scarlet cassocks flashed out, blocking the way.Then, the three men in Tsing Yi walked out calmly, and the one in the lead was Sang Men Sha.

Xin Wenzhao moved the saber to a convenient place, and approached the opponent calmly. Sangmen smiled strangely, cupped his fists in salute and said: Brother Xin, Liu is not hostile. He smiled faintly, his tiger eyes swept across the woods on both sides of the road, and said, "Then, why didn't your brother who was lying in wait in the woods show up?" hehe!Whether they show up depends on Brother Xin's attitude. oh!It turns out that the heads of the Three Hegemons of Jizhou have been received by me.Brother Liu, do I need to thank you? hehe!How dare you dare.Brother knows that Brother Xin is quite unhappy about this matter.However, the brothers did have difficulties. They committed suicide. They deserved to be tough guys in the current situation. They were deeply sorry for not being able to leave a living for Brother Xin. There is no need to mention the past, all in all, I am very grateful.Brother Liu leads people to block the way. I don't know what to teach? Brother Xin, do you know that the minions of the Three Hegemons of Jizhou are doing bad things to your brother? I have heard of it below. They have assassinated Liu's six brothers. They are indeed too bold, and I am deeply sorry. Therefore, the brothers vowed not to be at odds with them, so they dispatched all the elites to fight them to the death. I wonder if Brother Xin would let the brothers go together and jointly deal with them? I also plan to go all out, brother Liu doesn't have to work hard, and my people can deal with it.Xin Wenzhao flatly refused. this is not fair.Sangmen said bitterly. Benefactor Liu, let's go on our own!The poor monk believes that we can deal with Yu Ru with twenty or thirty clowns.A middle-aged monk shouted, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Xin Wenzhao's refusal. Xin Wenzhao's heart moved, and he said with a faint smile: "Brother's past actions have not been absolutely kept secret, only this matter, dare to say that the plan is well-planned and extremely secret."The people who came tonight still don't know what they are doing, only a few close friends below know the outline of the trip. However, Brother Liu actually knew about it, and he was waiting here. Brother Liu had no choice but to admire Brother Liu's supernatural powers and his ability to predict the future!Please wait a moment, brother, turn back and let the brothers know. Sang Mensha chuckled, and said: Brother Xin's actions, brother is just a guess, in fact Before the words were finished, Xin Wenzhao took his two companions and left quietly. A monk approached Sangmen Sha and said in a low voice, "Benefactor Liu, you shouldn't have let him go." After all his people arrive, wouldn't it be easy to catch them all at once?Do not worry!We can handle them.Wait a minute, listen to my signal and do it.Sangmen whispered fiercely. They are waiting, waiting to the left, but still not coming, waiting to the right, still not coming, waiting so that they feel angry. Sang Mensha finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "Good boy, he slipped away after seeing the opening, let's go!"Go find him in his turtle den in the city and kill him to death. All the people who were ambushing on all sides came out, the total number was more than 50, they were immediately divided into three groups, and they smuggled through the Chengguan to enter the outer city. During the same period, Xin Wenzhao had brought more than 20 companions, and quietly detoured to the hideout of the minions of the Three Hegemons in Jizhou. Not far away, the two people who were lurking near the scene waited until Sangmensha's group left, and Fang took a detour and rushed to Zhengdong to report everything to Xin Wenzhao. Xin Wenzhao found an eyeliner who was lurking outside the village for surveillance. The eyeliner reported that before dark, more than 20 minions of the three tyrants of Jizhou had entered the village. The people who blocked them were arranged according to their positions, and he led four people straight into the village. There were only a dozen or so families in the small village, a dog barked, and the door of a wooden house opened, and a chicken-skinned and white-haired old woman came out, and said to Xin Wenzhao who was striding forward: Are you from the city?The twenty or so guests living in this village have already left for a while, and they left a message saying that they will meet later. Xin Wenzhao was taken aback, and asked: How did they get there? There is a deep ditch in the south of the village, which is as deep as people, and reaches Caohe River.They left quietly in twos and threes, in small boats.said the old woman. He let out a long breath, turned around and walked away. Failed again, all the people took a detour and evacuated. Soon, in a farmhouse in the north of the village, the hall was lit up, and five tough men sat around the Eight Immortals table, each with gloomy faces. The leader of the big Han leopard head ring eyes, wearing a narrow front single knife, said through gritted teeth: "They are all gone, the news is urgent, we can't stay long." The next big man said angrily: Second Brother Yuan, what are your plans?Can't we just leave here? withdraw?snort!The second elder brother Yuan said sharply: If we don't kill the Sansha of Kyoto and the Evil God of the Four Seas to avenge the three seniors, can we withdraw? What does the second brother Nahara mean? We are weak, and of course we can't fight head-to-head with a group of local snakes like them.Therefore, we must try our best to assassinate them, at all costs, and must kill them in the shortest possible time Before the words were finished, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the back hall, and said: The assassination has failed, and you want to repeat the old trick? The five people turned pale in shock, the second brother Yuan kicked the Eight Immortals table aside, gritted his teeth and said, "It's you Xin Wenzhao, the evil god of the world, you're back again, we'll fight you." Clang!A single sword was drawn out of its sheath, and the other four followed suit. With a roar of a tiger, the second elder brother Yuan was the first to attack, pounced on Xin Wenzhao who was standing with his hands on his hips, and the sword flashed like lightning. Xin Wenzhao retreated two steps quickly, and shot with the electric rainbow. Hearing the whistling sound of the sword coming out of its sheath, the sword swung out, just in time to catch the second strike. Zheng!When swords meet, sparks fly. The knife was deflected by the shock, and the sword took advantage of the momentum and emptied into it. The second elder brother Yuan retreated in shock, the entrance of the hall was narrow, this retreat blocked the four companions who followed, and hurriedly retreated together in a panic. The sword was coming too fast, and the knife couldn't be retracted in a hurry, and the retreat was undetermined, the bone-piercing sword tip had stopped at the throat, and the deep yell was loud: stand still, Xin has something to ask for advice. The second brother Yuan's heart was full of fear, and he stopped walking and became stiff. The other four people didn't have time to rescue them, they didn't dare to act rashly, and they also froze. If you have the guts, you'll kill me.The second brother Yuan gritted his teeth. I won't kill you, I want you to answer the question well.Xin Wenzhao said calmly. You don't want a confession. I know that you are a tough guy, and of course you also know that I, Xin Wenzhao, the evil god of the world, is not a good man or a believer.Speak!Who told you I'm coming tonight? I don't know either, there was a man dressed as an old farmer before dusk, saying that you were coming tonight, so we had to withdraw from the limelight, and it would do us no good to fight hard. Chushanhu said without hesitation that the news had nothing to do with the overall situation. Who is that?Xin Wenzhao asked. I don't know, the old farmer hastily finished speaking and left in a hurry. oh!Why did the Three Hegemons of Jizhou go to Baoding Mansion to commit crimes? What does this have to do with you? Xin Wenzhao's face darkened, and he said sternly: This matter is not only related to my subordinates, but also related to the rise and fall of our Ming Dynasty. fart!What are you talking about? This is honest.Jinlu has occupied Liaodong and is about to enter the pass.Their spies have infiltrated into the capital, spied on the movement of the imperial court, and stomped on the official documents in the residence of Baoding Mansion to spy on the news.But the Three Hegemons of Jizhou are traitors who work as lackeys for spies.Xin Wenzhao said loudly. Chushanhu was stunned, and shouted angrily: "Bastard, why are you spitting blood?"Although we are not good people in Jizhou, we will never disdain to be traitors. real?Okay, let's talk calmly. I hope you, a tough guy, can provide counter-evidence to clear the Three Hegemons of the crime of treason.Xin Wenzhao put away his sword and said, walked towards the hall, and said: How Sangmensha killed the three tyrants, I don't know anything, anyway, they killed the three tyrants of Jizhou, which is tantamount to cutting off the clues to track down the spies.If you are real heroes, you should cooperate with me. Traitor, this crime is too great. Chushanhu was extremely shocked, and followed behind as if sleepwalking, his face turning blue. Xin Wenzhao dragged a bench and sat down, and told the story of how to track down the spies.Finally, I said: Brother Yuan, our ancestors above the great-grandfather generation once served as obedient citizens of the Liao captives, then as obedient citizens of the Jin captives, and then as cattle and horses for the Mongols for ninety years. Tell me, we can be the golden captives again. slave? After leaving the mountain for a long time, the tiger calmed down, and said solemnly: Brother Xin is responsible for the righteousness of the world, and I have no choice but to cooperate with you.But I can tell you that you misunderstood the person. The three seniors are all heroes with backbone, and they will never become traitors. A month ago, a man named Han Zonggong, who used to be friends with the three seniors, invited the three seniors to Kyoto to relax.The three seniors each brought a servant, but the one surnamed Han brought five female relatives with him. A few days earlier, a servant escaped their murderous hands and returned to Jizhou to spread the news. According to him, for the sake of convenience in Kyoto, they disguised themselves and wandered around the places of interest in Kyoto. At the Dajue Temple in Xujiazhuang, it happened that Song Changqing, the governor of Baoding Prefecture, brought his family to Heilongtan to visit the grave.There were twenty-four patrolmen and soldiers accompanying them, and the two sides clashed, and they fought when they disagreed with each other. The three seniors were outnumbered and retreated with hatred. After returning to the city, Han Zonggong became angry with his words.In a rage, the three seniors sent two people who were familiar with the Baoding government office to seek revenge.The three seniors didn't set the fire on fire, it was the Fu Ya's own fire. Xin Wenzhao said, "Where is the person surnamed Han?" Chushanhu shook his head and said: I don't know either. You said he had five female relatives?Xin Wenzhao asked. Yes, they seem to be very beautiful. They know martial arts? I don't know, it seems not, Han Zonggong himself is only good at self-defense. How did the three tyrants die? Sangmen Sha and his son brought a large group of people, and they attacked suddenly and murdered them. The servant who escaped was fatal. Someone reported tonight, Brother Yuan, I really don't know who it is? really do not know. Xin Wenzhao left his seat and said with a faint smile: I think the Three Hegemons are poor people being used by others.After the day after tomorrow, I will be able to prove some things. Brother Yuan, you'd better go back to Jizhou as soon as possible, your situation will be extremely dangerous from now on. Regarding the matter of revenge, if I can find these spies, I will not bother you both public and private. I am leaving, and there will be a period later. Please leave the dangerous place as soon as possible, lest it be too late. The day after tomorrow is the time for sending the residence newspaper. The eight prefectures of the capital are issued once every five days, and other places in the world are copied by scribes hired by the local yamen, and issued once a month. The eight prefectures of the capital are Shuntian, Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping, Daming, and Yongping.The most eastern prefecture is Yongping, and the southeast of Yongping is Shanhaiguan. Sending Yongping's residence newspaper must go through Jizhou. A small boat sailed along the Datong River for forty miles to Tongzhou, and it was already three poles in the sun.Tongzhou is a land and water station, where the canal goes south. The four villagers in Xiaozhou carried their parcels on their backs, left the boat and landed, and embarked on the official road to the east. This road leading to Shanhaiguan can accommodate six vehicles in parallel.Of course, traveling on foot is not as fast as carriages and horses, and there are more carriages and horses than people on foot on this road. Ten miles away is Taipingfang. To the ordinary tolerance of Yongping, the usual means of transportation are riding and passing cars.Regardless of riding or passing a car, they all stay in Sanhe County, and one hundred and ten miles is considered a journey. Therefore, Taipingfang can be regarded as a halfway station, where chariots and horses can be topped. The transfer car is also called the official car or the mail car, and it is specially used for soldiers and officers who come and go on business. It usually has two horses and five seats. Near noon, the passing car slowly drove into Taipingfang. The only village store in Taipingfang, among the four shopkeepers inside and outside.There are four new faces, they are disguised as four people who pretend to be village men, and they have controlled this village shop a long time ago. The car stopped at the square next to the store, and the driver jumped out of the car seat and called: "Grandpa, start here, and leave in half an hour. Please don't delay." After finishing speaking, he took care of unloading the horse and called the buddy to prepare water and fodder. Four father-in-laws came out of the car, two were military officers from the Jizhou Yamen, wearing official uniforms and sabers, and two were messengers from Yongping Mansion, each carrying a large paper bag and wearing military uniforms. Clothes, a water and fire stick, and a single sword. The four of them are all strong enough, but unfortunately their faces are sickly, unlucky, and listless.The four were talking and laughing.While shaking the dust off his clothes, he walked into the store. The two shop assistants greeted each other with smiles. An officer said: buddy, get us some wine and food, don't worry, we have to rest in the store.Huh!You two seem to be newcomers. I take this route once or twice a month. I don’t think I’ve seen you before? A store clerk apologized and said with a smile: "The young one only came three days ago. The owner of this store is my uncle. Recently, all the people in the store have changed!" During the conversation, the store clerk led the four father-in-laws to the back dining hall, first served water and clean towels, and then offered fragrant tea, entertained them attentively and in a friendly manner. The father-in-law of the fourth couple was probably thirsty, and while the shop assistant was busy making arrangements, all four cups of tea were gone. In just a moment, a messenger suddenly called out: Hey!What's the matter?dizzy I am so sleepy. One officer said that he fell asleep immediately when he put it on the table. The four of them fell on the table and dreamed of entering Nanke, only a moment apart. boom!With a sound, the dining hall door closed. The three shop assistants all snatched it up quickly, and the two quickly took the paper bag, and one put a rucksack hidden in the corner on the table, took out the four treasures of the study and the manuscript paper that had been watermarked, and called: "Hurry up!"Copy the Dibao first. The two shop assistants had five volumes of the mansion newspaper, and quickly uncovered the edicts about the Liaodong military administration and the memorials of the ministers, took out the pages one by one, and handed them to the person in charge of copying. The three of them were so absorbed in their work that they seemed to have forgotten about the four father-in-laws. At a critical juncture, I suddenly heard someone beside me say: You are copying too slowly. In fact, you can install some people in the Department of General Administration. Wouldn't it be much easier? The three store clerks were shocked, dropped their work and jumped up, quickly pulling out the dagger hidden in their clothes. The two officers and the two special messengers guarded the front and back doors and couldn't help sneering. Huh!you you guys An officer laughed and said, "The tea with Mongolian sweat medicine has been poured out."Dude, are you surprised that we're here waiting for you to take the bait? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is very common.I conclude that in the past, in order to avoid suspicion, you all played tricks in Nanqi Mansion. The rumors here are too tight, so you have to make decisions in Yongping Mansion. I guess you must do it, because this time the mansion reported that the censor Jiang Bingqian impeached the censor Feng Sanyuan and a group of dog officials who framed Xiong Jinglue.It is a memorial to Xiong Jinglue's contribution to the danger of the Liao Dynasty.There is also an imperial edict to re-recruit Mr. Xiong to manage Liaodong.Therefore, you have to make a move, and you are indeed caught. The faces of the three shop assistants changed drastically, and one of them asked: "Where is your name?" The officer calmly took off the fake thick eyebrows and big character mustache, and said with a smile: Me!Xin Wenzhao, the evil god of the four seas. Does anyone know my easy-going Heisha Rongjun?Another officer called. Me, the ghostly hand is in control.Said the man in disguise. Li Huapeng is an unknown soldier.Another fake messenger said that Xu Xu raised the water and fire stick and shouted: Traitor!damn thing! The three counterfeit shopkeepers had no other choice, they shouted at the same time, and rushed towards the outer hall with weapons in hand, intending to seize the way. With a wave of Xin Wenzhao's saber, clang!With a sound, a dagger was shaken away, rubbing his body and cutting into the knife light before flashing, wow!With a soft sound, the right arm of a fake shop boy broke at the elbow, and then kicked the fake shop boy down. clank!The other two daggers were also broken by the saber. puff!Heisha Rongjun took advantage of it and knocked down one with the back of his knife. Li Huapeng was also swept up like a gust of wind!The water and fire stick was swept out close to the ground, smashing the right ankle of the last fake shop boy. Outside, the man pretending to be a coachman had knocked out the other two shop assistants. The calculation was very accurate, five healthy horses had arrived outside the door, and the five riders were real officers and real passers-by who had changed into plain clothes. The two sides changed clothes and horses. Xin Wenzhao, five of them, set off with four captives. They moved quickly, and it took only a moment.
