Meng Yue slept beautifully. When he woke up, it was already dark. He walked out of the hut, and the cold wind blew his face, feeling that he had been missing for a long time.

Ben was in the distance, and a tall young man sitting around the fire bragging and chatting with several soldiers quickly stood up and walked towards Meng Yue and said, "General, you are awake. Han Guerrilla told me that when you wake up, I will take you to see him. By the way, my name is Gao Aniu, and I am Han Guerrilla's personal bodyguard. You can call me Aniu."

Meng Yue nodded, "Then let's go!"

The two of them made a lot of twists and finally stopped in front of a larger wooden house. The house looked a little bigger than ordinary houses, guarded by soldiers on both sides, and the front was empty, similar to the hall of discussion. Several pots of charcoal fires were burned inside, warm. Even if the cool breeze outside the house blew, it made people feel cold. In such a deep mountain, nothing was lacking, but firewood was not lacking.

When Han Yong saw Meng Yue, he quickly stood up and said to everyone: "This is Meng Yue, Meng Shou, who came all the way from Laizhou to assist us. In the past, he had served under Meng Qiaofang and knew the situation in Liaodong."

Meng Yue glanced around the people in the room, and there were five people besides Han Yong and himself. One of them was the oldest, with a pockmarked face. He sat next to Han Yong, and it should be Liu Mazi. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm just here, please give me some advice in the future."

Han Yong laughed and scolded: "This guy has been following the military gate for a long time and has become a little bit literary. Don't talk nonsense there, come and sit down quickly."

Meng Yue saw that the seat on Han Yong was still empty, so he obviously left it for him.

Then Han Yong pointed to Liu Mazi and said, "This is Liu Dazhuan, and now I am my deputy general. The reason why we can escape the pursuit of the Tartars this time is due to Liu Dazhuan."

Meng Yue hurriedly bowed and said, "I will be disrespectful, and Liu Dajia will take care of me more in the future."

Liu Mazi was a little embarrassed, "It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about."

Han Yong continued to introduce others to Meng Yue, "The fat-headed and big-eared one is called Wu Xiong. You should have seen him before. He was a general in the cavalry camp. He had to stay here due to injury. Now all our cavalry, a total of 500 cavalry are led by him. The thin man is Zhang Shiguo, and the Lin Fengyue with the Taoist scar on his face, both of them are Qian Zong, and they are commanded by two thousand-person teams. The one who looks thin and weak and can blow down a gust of wind is called Yu Wen. His grandfather is a person who passed the imperial examination, and his father is also well-read in poetry and books. Later, the Tartars entered the pass, and his father hanged himself, and he was captured to Liaodong as a slave. When I rescued him, I only had half a breath. Don't look at him inconspicuous, he is the military advisor and gunpowder master of our army. Now here, tens of thousands of enemies can be controlled by themselves, and it is his credit."

Yu Wen seemed to be less than thirty years old and was gentle and said to Meng Yue: "Scholar Yu Wen, pays homage to Meng Shoujie. What Han Guerrilla said is mostly a false praise, and Meng Shoujie should not take it seriously."

Meng Yue replied, "Mr. Yu, you are polite. The Han Yong I know is not the kind of person who can praise others casually. Most of them are the talent of the teacher, which is enough to make him admire him."

Han Yong smiled and said, "Meng Yue likes to tell the truth. Yu Wen is really a bit useless here. He is in poor health. After the weather is a little warmer, I will send someone to send him back to Denglai. With his talent, the military must like it."

After everyone exchanged greetings, Han Yong told everyone about Meng Yue’s purpose.

Wu Xiong asked Zhang Shiguo in a low voice, "Where is Ninggu Tower? Is it far from here?"

Zhang Shiguo replied in a low voice: "In Ning'an, in the northeast, not far from the sea."

Wu Xiong said in surprise: "Isn't this far away? Why did you think of going to hit that place?"

Han Yong said: "Ningguta is a place where prisoners are imprisoned. In addition to some Ming officials and generals who are unwilling to submit to the Tartars, there are also some Tartar officials who have committed crimes. Now the Tartars are concentrating on attacking North Korea with all their strength. The military gate probably wants to shake the Tartars by capturing Ningguta to support General Lin in North Korea."

Meng Yue said: "The military gate really has this idea. Moreover, Huang Qianshi has now fought back on the entire line of 50 posts, with the purpose of restraining the Qing army from going to North Korea."

Lin Fengyue said: "But we have just been wiped out by the Tartars and have suffered huge losses and there is not much left in the remaining troops. If we lead the remaining soldiers to Ningguta, what should we do if the Tartars attack? And I heard that the Tartars have a lot of troops in Ningguta. Can we take it down with just a few people?"

Yu Wen suddenly said: "Maybe."

Lin Fengyue was stunned, but Han Yong said with surprise: "Yu Wen, you said."

Yu Wen was silent for a while and said, "Ningguta is the leader of the three northeastern borders. During the Huang Taiji period, Wu Bahai was appointed as the deputy commander and guarding Ningguta. The area he managed was very large, and usually provided Eight Banners soldiers to the Qing Dynasty and transported materials to the border guards. However, because Ningguta is located in a remote area, with a harsh environment, and there are no enemies around, there are not many regular Qing troops stationed. During the war, some young and strong people will be transferred to the war. The rest are mainly the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the number will not be too large."

Lin Fengyue asked: "Not too many people?"

Yu Wen replied: "It should be within a thousand people."

Lin Fengyue smiled angrily and said, "We now have more than 3,000 people, and the troops are much more than them. But how can we run so far without being discovered by the Tartars? Once information is leaked in the middle, Wu Bahai will definitely transfer the soldiers around us to reinforce. At that time, we will be dead and will also affect the thousands of people who follow us."

Yu Wen said: "So, we cannot be discovered by the Tartars, and we should not have too many troops to go to the expedition."

Han Yong said: "Yu Wen, you continue to talk."

"We got a lot of Qing army uniforms when we fought with the Tartars before? This time we went to the expedition, we only used cavalry. We could change into the Qing army uniforms and headed to Ningguta on the grounds of supporting the Korean front. Now in the Korean War, the Qing Dynasty had sent several troops to it. We were mixed in, and we would generally not be able to see through it. However, this time we were very likely to have to meet the Tartars directly, and they might have to cut them all into pigtails. Their bodies and hair were subject to their parents, so they had to be wronged by the soldiers."

Han Yong said: "This is not a problem. I am dedicated to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to the country. Even the ancestors of the country will not accuse us of being unfilial. What I am worried about is that we only have 500 cavalry now. With this little force, can we take down Ningguta? If we delay, the consequences will be unimaginable."
