Chapter 105 Division of labor? No, it's a mutual pit
After Fan Wencheng entered Shenyang, he quickly contacted him through informants, and quickly used his own strategies and methods. In just ten days, Sun Qing and other people who voted for Nurhachi believed in their abilities.
At this time, Fan Wencheng had summarized the defense situation of Shenyang City and found that the three city walls in the northeast and south were heavily defended, with only the west side being relatively weak.
The morale of the Ming army was pretty good, and the equipment of the elite servants was no less than that of the main force of the Eight Banners after Saarhu captured the supplies.
But the servants were very arrogant, arrogant and looked down upon their enemies.
There are tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers stationed in the city.
Some of them have been carefully infiltrated, and some are simply their own people. Once the Ming army is in trouble, the Mongolian soldiers cannot continue to support the Ming army. They will either set fire to loot and flee, or directly defect to their masters.
Therefore, the Mongolian soldiers in the city can be regarded as Shenyang's third weakness.
These three weaknesses were kept in mind by him.
However, the batch of Luzon-style cannons sent from the capital looked very powerful, and he, a scholar, really couldn't figure out how to deal with them.
The tasks entrusted by Sibeile have been completed. Fan Wencheng and the Mongolian spy are two lines, not in contact with each other, forming a double insurance combination.
This time, I will surely bring my hometown to the hands of the Great Khan and Sibeile.
Ambition made him uncontrollably excited, and conspiracy made him find his own value.
Fan Wencheng did not have any family members detained in Hetunara, but his motivation was much higher than other spies because he knew that his life would be completely changed by this.
"Brother, there is a situation."
Fan Wencai introduced the situation to his younger brother, which shocked Fan Wencheng's jaw.
"This... what Sun Youyi did is so inappropriate. Shenyang City is still waiting to use him as an internal agent."
Fan Wencheng knew very well what was more important, but when he heard that Sun Qing had already reached an agreement with He Shixian, and that even troops and horses had begun to be mobilized, he knew that this matter could not be stopped.
He thought carefully for a moment and then asked: "Who came up with the idea of Sichuan soldiers?"
Fan Wencai replied: "Sichuan Army General Zhou Dunji."
"Zhou Dunji...it's him again."
Fan Wencheng knew that Xianglanqi Amin had been ambushed by this person not long ago, and now it was him who suggested it.
"There must be a conspiracy in this matter, but it doesn't mean that we can't use it to our advantage."
"oh?"
Fan Wencai saw his younger brother smiling sinisterly. He knew very well that as long as his younger brother smiled like this, someone would definitely suffer.
The Sichuan soldiers are finished, no one can match my brother in terms of strategy~
...
Wang Hongyu led 1,000 troops and thousands of refugees to join Sun Qing's 2,000 troops in the north of Shenyang City.
"Wang Hongyu, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, has met Sun Gueryi."
Wang Hongyu was polite to Sun Qingke, which gave a good start to the atmosphere between the two.
"Haha, as expected, young hero, you fought well in the battle of Shenbei. This time you and I can regain the lost ground together."
Sun Qing and Wang Hongyu led their troops into the mountains from the north of Shenyang and arrived at Tieling the next day.
In the middle of winter, it had experienced several robberies and was completely deserted.
Gray wolves can still be seen in the wilderness in the distance, gnawing on frozen corpses.
Li Chengliang's hometown is here. He was a powerful figure in Liaodong for decades and accumulated a lot of wealth. However, he never dreamed that only five years after his death, his hometown would be burned to rubble by his subordinate Nurhachi.
Without the ability to protect oneself militarily, and without the strength to intimidate its surroundings and subordinates, even if it was famous back then, it would have such tragic results.
After looking at the terrain, Wang Hongyu and Sun Qing decided to divide half of their people to rebuild Tieling City. The other half also built several forts along the mountains and streams in the south.
In this way, there are soldiers and horses guarding the connection with Shenyang, and the supply teams transporting grain can stay in the forts overnight to avoid danger, and the supply line will be safer.
The two divided the work, Sun Qing went to Tieling further forward, and Wang Hongyu led people to build the forts.
On the surface, this arrangement was the result of discussions between Sun Qing and Wang Hongyu, but in fact it was Fan Wencheng and Wang Hongyu who had it in mind.
Sun Qing took people to Tieling, arranged for soldiers and horses to patrol, and the refugees started construction, and then discussed with the Fan brothers.
"As Mr. suggested, I would have chosen Tieling, which is closer to the front line, to start construction. And the Sichuan soldiers did not hesitate and directly agreed."
Sun Qing happily introduced to the two of them.
Fan Wencai also felt that it was a good thing that everything went as planned, but Fan Wencheng frowned.
"Sichuan soldiers agreed without hesitation?"
"Yes, I am a guerrilla general, and the opposite is just General Qian, so of course I won't hesitate."
Fan Wencheng shook his head: "Something's wrong...Who is that Qian Zong?"
Sun Qing replied: "A child, Zhou Dunji's adopted brother. He is a very low-key man, doesn't know how to hide, and is an impulsive and silly boy."
"Oh...what's his name?"
Sun Qing looked a little displeased. Although the Fan brothers were high-level spies and represented the Four Beiles of the Later Jin Dynasty, he was still a guerrilla general and was quite unhappy to be questioned by a scholar.
"Wang Hongyu... This man is less than twenty years old. He climbed up the ranks by virtue of his status as Zhou Dunji's sworn brother and his love for showing off."
The information Sun Qing gave to the Fan brothers was all processed by him intentionally or unintentionally.
After hearing this, Fan Wencheng thought for a moment and still felt that the Confederate army must have some dangerous plan.
"What are you worried about? We are very hidden. In less than half a month, some of those refugees will cause trouble."
Fan Wencai responded: "Indeed, the refugees do not need us to add fuel to the flames. They must be instigated by their own people. We only need to take advantage of the situation."
"That's right, when the time comes, whether you want to pin the blame on the Sichuan soldiers, or lure the Jin army to come over quietly and use chaos to get rid of the Sichuan soldiers, it doesn't matter what you do~"
"Hahaha~ These Sichuan soldiers around us are nothing to be afraid of..."
The two of them said something to each other, disrupting Fan Wencheng's thoughts.
With teammates like this, even a smart person like Fan Wencheng can't help but be misled.
But that’s okay.
Tieling further north and east are all the territory of the masters.
Let the Sichuan soldiers be in the south and I be in the north, just to facilitate contact with the masters~
…
South of Tieling.
Wang Hongyu arranged for craftsmen to build several forts, and half of his Sichuan soldiers were involved in supervising the construction and patrolling, leaving only 500 people around him.
He inspected the equipment and morale of the troops and saw that everyone was well prepared.
"Do you have confidence?"
"have!"
"Can 500 people defeat 2,000 enemies?"
"able!"
Wang Hongyu looked at the elite soldiers who had undergone months of training.
Everyone is a veteran and has been training phalanx since Tongzhou.
They also received guns and armor supported by Huang Kezuan and Xu Guangqi.
He went north to Liaodong and trained while marching, changing formations, guarding against night attacks, coordinating, and defending against arrows... he had already practiced to perfection.
The battle in the north of Shenyang shattered the arrogance of Jiannu and caused the blue flag to scurry away.
"Be prepared at any time. If there is any movement on the refugee side, a war will begin soon."
"yes!"
In the next few days, several fortresses with a circumference of 100 meters gradually took shape.
Local materials were collected from the Tieling Mountains, and Yuan Yingtai was very good at logistics. Even the refugees were fed and clothed, so the progress of the project fully met expectations.
