Hearing Xu Guangqi's words, Xiao Ruxun's eyes twitched.
"Mister Xu, you said you sneaked out of Pingxing Pass? I had ordered that no one was allowed to leave Pingxing Pass and set foot in Datong. Oh, I see. "
Seeing the subtle look in Xiao Ruxun's eyes, Xu Guangqi blinked and stammered for a while.
"Actually … I just wanted to find the governor as soon as possible. The soldiers at Pingxing Pass said that the governor had led his troops out of Yanmen Pass to attack Datong, so …"
"It's good that you could come out. Pingxing Pass, Chai Guozhu's deputy, hmm, it's time to clean up!"
Xiao Ruxun mumbled a few words, then said, "You should know that I have not conquered Datong, and it is very dangerous. There are still many Northern Barbarians. How could you dare to leave Pingxing Pass?"
Xu Guangqi looked embarrassed.
"I thought that Governor Xiao would be able to wipe out the Northern Barbarians very quickly, so I should have been able to meet you in Datong when I set off. I was very careful on my way, thinking that there must be places that the Northern Barbarians have not set foot in. If I was lucky, I might even meet the governor's army. Besides, if I didn't do that, how could I prove my sincerity?"
Should I say that Xu Guangqi is foolishly bold or stubborn?
Xiao Ruxun held his forehead and shook his head.
"You are really lucky. If it were anyone else, they would have died seven or eight times. Yet, you still managed to find me. Is this really fate?"
Xu Guangqi nodded excitedly.
"The governor is right! It must be fate! I met the governor! "
"Mister Xu, I'm not complimenting you!"
Xiao Ruxun glared at Xu Guangqi. "Even if you haven't fought in a war, you should know how dangerous it is here, right? You could lose your life if you're not careful! "
Xu Guangqi said embarrassedly, "Actually, I also noticed it later. It was indeed quite dangerous … so …"
"Forget it, it's enough that you could come to my side safely. I'm impressed. Mister Xu, you are really lucky! You managed to find me in this way! Erm, how did you escape? And you even brought this with you? Didn't the Northern Barbarians discover it? "
Xu Guangqi grew excited at the mention of this.
"At the time, this gun was placed in a long box. The Northern Barbarians thought it was a treasure, so they took it with them. When I decided to escape, I stole the gun in the middle of the night. When I stole it, the box hadn't been opened yet, so the Northern Barbarians didn't know that it was a gun. There weren't many Northern Barbarians, and they drank every day. They didn't know that the governor had started a northern expedition.
So the group of us discussed that when we went out to chop firewood, we would put me and a bunch of miscellaneous items on the cart and push me out. Then, when one of the Northern Invaders went to relieve himself, I hid in the withered grass. After that, they didn't seem to notice us and just gathered there to drink. When they left, I ran out. It wasn't that difficult. "
Xiao Ruxun held onto the table and closed his eyes.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I need to think about it carefully. You stole your own gun, then got into the truck, then hid in the bushes, and then escaped? This … hehe … hehe … no wonder there weren't any scouts. We were actually beaten to this state by a bunch of pigs and dogs? "
Xu Guangqi took a few steps closer.
"Governor Xiao? Are you alright? "
Xiao Ruxun nodded.
"Good, very good. My whole family is doing very well."
With that, Xiao Ruxun slammed his fist on the table.
"I'm not afraid of godlike opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates! Now, I met a pig-like opponent! But I also met a bunch of pig-like teammates! Against such enemies, we were beaten to this state! Bastards! All of you deserve to die! "
"Governor Xiao?"
Xu Guangqi was shocked.
"Mr. Xu, will the Northern Barbarians close the city gates at night?"
Xu Guangqi was stunned.
"Is there still a city that doesn't close its gates at night? Even if they don't close their gates at night, it shouldn't be to this extent, right? "
Xiao Ruxun nodded.
"How often do they go out of the city to harvest?"
"Once a day."
"They go out of the city to harvest every day?"
Xiao Ruxun was bewildered.
"Yes, they go out of the city to cut wood every day because they eat and drink all day long. They ask us to burn firewood and cook for them. They seem to have an endless supply of food, and they have a lot of meat as well. Basically, they have to eat five or six meals a day. Where did they get so much food? Governor Xiao, didn't you say that Xuan University is suffering from a food shortage? "
Xu Guangqi asked doubtfully.
"Yes, it is, but the ones who suffer from a food shortage are always the common people. The rich will never go hungry. Not only that, but their food is also piled up like a mountain! They starved our common people and soldiers into bones, but raised the Northern Barbarians into pigs! "
Xiao Ruxun looked to the north fiercely. "Now I know why these bastards are so lazy! These days are too comfortable. I also want to live like this! Mr. Xu, don't you want to see how I save the country? Tomorrow at this time, I'll let you see clearly how we, the soldiers, save our country! "
Xiao Ruxun turned and walked out of the tent. Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, but quickly followed.
Xiao Ruxun immediately found Nurhaci and gave him a specific task. He asked the Jurchen cavalry under his command to be the main force of the operation. When the Northern Barbarians leave the city to harvest tomorrow, they will abolish their guards. Then, they will disguise themselves as common people and return to Huairen County with the Northern Barbarians. After killing the guards and seizing the city gate, Nurhaci will lead the main force into the city to kill the enemy.
But there is one thing, they are not allowed to kill any Han people. Otherwise, they will be punished according to military law.
Also, leave one or two tongues, don't kill them all.
He didn't believe that these Jurchen cavalry would let go of the Han people as their own people. They would definitely kill them as well, so he had to restrain them now. Nurhachi wanted to show off his favorability in front of Xiao Ruxun, so he didn't play any tricks at all. He accepted the mission honestly.
Xiao Ruxun didn't even have the thought of setting up a more meticulous plan. These Northern Barbarians, using Sun Tzu's Art of War to deal with them was an insult to the sages.
Xiao Ruxun's plan was not wrong at all. These Northern Barbarians were eating and drinking here too comfortably. Enslaving the Han people to do things for them, they felt as if they had come to Elysium. They were not prepared at all for Xiao Ruxun and Nurhaci's action. The Jurchen cavalry easily killed their way into the city and annihilated them in one fell swoop.
The whole battle took less than half an hour. The 5,000 Jurchen cavalry completely controlled the entire Huairen County.
According to Xiao Ruxun's request, Nurhaci left three tongues, one Northern Barbarians officer and two soldiers.
