Chapter 186: Shocked news

The north wind blew through with a whistling sound, but it could not pass through the tent made of thick cowhide. Zhou Tong was lying in this tent that was nearly ten feet in radius. Because his identity was the confidant of Si Beile, the people of the Korqin tribe did not dare to neglect him. He prepared such a tent for him alone in the clan, and many other Jin soldiers did not have such treatment.

However, although the environment was much better than that of ordinary Jin soldiers, Zhou Tong tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. For some reason, he actually thought of his life in this strange place. It turned out that he was just a young man who was dedicated to serving the country, but because of his family being captured, he became a spy of the Jin people. Then because of the persuasion of General Zhao and Lord Tang, he regained his heart for the country. But after arriving in the Jin Kingdom, he learned the bad news - his wife and mother died shortly after he left, leaving only his ignorant son. Thinking that he betrayed the nation and the country in order to save the lives of his mother and wife, but now he ended up like this, Zhou Tong felt sad.

After learning the bad news, he thought about assassinating Huang Taiji, but eventually gave up this bold idea for his hungry son. In the end, he had to choose to stay with Huang Taiji for the time being, hoping that one day he could do something for the Ming Dynasty to make up for the mistakes he had made before.

Just as Zhou Tong was thinking about his past and future, two figures appeared silently outside the tent. One of them moved quickly and came to his tent in a few seconds. The other slightly thin person walked forward carefully and soon came outside the tent. After the two made gestures, the quick-witted man opened the curtain in front of the tent.

Zhou Tong, who was closing his eyes and pondering, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and immediately turned over, picked up a knife from his left hand quickly, staring at the black shadow at the entrance with his eyes tightly. Although he broke his hand, the alertness he had trained in the army for many years was still there, and these days he had his worries in Jin Kingdom, which made him always maintain a high level of vigilance. Therefore, his skills not only did not weaken, but instead increased.

But when he heard the person standing outside the door call him "Deputy General Zhou", he stopped his momentum of rushing forward. Those who could call him this name must be the one who had an intersection with him in the Ming army, which relaxed his tense nerves a little. After Tang Feng called out Zhou Tong's official name in the Ming army, he lit a fire note and showed his appearance in front of Zhou Tong. At the same time, Lu An also flashed into the tent and looked at the man with one broken hand vigilantly.

The oil lamp in the tent was lit up, and Tang Feng and Zhou Tong sat opposite each other. After looking at each other a few times, they asked almost at the same time, "Why are you here?" Then they both looked at each other and laughed again. The rift of the past no longer existed. Tang Feng waved to Lu An and said, "You go outside the tent and look at it. If someone approaches, then notify us." Then he told me in detail about why he came to the Mongolian grassland.

"So that's it. Lord Tang, you are the Han people mentioned by those Mongolian people." Zhou Tong suddenly said, and then told him about his experience in the Jin Kingdom: "Maybe God was punishing me for betraying the Ming Dynasty and betraying General Zhao. My mother and wife died of illness when I was still serving the Jin people. I..."

"Brother Zhou, you don't have to be sad. As long as you change your past and become my Ming Dynasty spy, your aunt and sister-in-law will feel comforted if you have spirits in heaven. However, the idea of ​​not assassinating Huang Taiji is right. It is not easy for us to have one person by his side, so we can't just lose it. Moreover, a big man like him will not be protected by a master, and you may not be able to succeed. Killing him will not be as big as you think, so please endure it for a while."

Zhou Tong nodded and recognized Tang Feng's opinion. This made Tang Feng feel even more relieved. Then he asked: "Since you have gained the trust of Huang Taiji, I must know why they came here this time? Let's talk about it."

"Jiannu suffered a loss in Ningyuan, so the morale of the army was disintegrated. In addition, Sun Zheng was again in charge of the Liaodong Strategic Office. In order to prevent him from taking the opportunity to send troops, he thought of joining forces with the Mongolian people."

"What? Mr. Sun is back to Liaodong again? Take this seriously?" Tang Feng asked in surprise.

Seeing Tang Feng's appearance, Zhou Tong also laughed: "This is the news that the spy who was stationed in Liaodong by the Jin people, and it should be impossible to be wrong."

"It's great. With Lord Sun in Liaodong, our Northeast will not be lost!" Tang Feng said happily. If he hadn't known that he could not be too obedient at this time, he would have laughed out loud. He would have thought that there would be such benefits for him to defend Ningyuan.

"In addition, there is another situation that I just heard about. The reason why the Jin army was eager to join forces with the Mongolian people was because their great khan Nurhaci was seriously injured and had no leader. In order to consolidate his power, Huang Taiji thought of pulling the Korqin tribe away, so that he had the most troops among the brothers. Even if Nurhaci died, he could immediately succeed the Khan throne." Zhou Tong continued.

When Tang Feng heard this news, he was even more excited than when he heard Sun Chengzong return to Liaodong just now. He was stunned for a while before suppressing his excitement and said, "It's great, now my Ming Dynasty is really expected to turn against the defense and attack!"

"But this matter may not be true. I just heard from the people in Beile's mansion mention it accidentally. Perhaps Naurhaci was just injured and not fatal!" Seeing that Tang Feng was so happy, Zhou Tong whispered, hoping that he would not take the news too seriously. But Tang Feng knew that 90% of the hope was true, because in historical records, it was written that Nurhaci died of artillery while attacking Ningyuan. When he repelled the Jin army that day, it was because artillery and "ten thousand enemies" were used together. After firing a shot at the front army of the Jin army, the Jin army hurriedly retreated. He had an assumption at that time, whether Nurhaci, the Jin man's khan was injured by artillery. Now, based on Zhou Tong's words, the possibility of him being shot was very high.

"If this matter could be known to the Liaodong defenders, it would definitely greatly encourage the morale of the army, and they could even take this opportunity to send troops to attack the Jin Kingdom!" Tang Feng was thinking in his heart, and he was already happy. It seemed that it was right to decide to stay here for a while, otherwise how could he know such important information?

After seeing Tang Feng smiling happily, Zhou Tong finally couldn't help saying, "Mr. Tang, I have important matters to report. This matter is related to the safety of you and the soldiers in the Korqin tribe."

"Huh?" Tang Feng was stunned and then asked, "What's the important thing? By the way, you mentioned that there were Mongolians who had already told the Jin people about our identities. Is this the matter?"

Seeing that Tang Feng finally calmed down, Zhou Tongcai said, "My lord is right, it's this. Just now, several people from the tribe came to see Babuhai and told him your identities. I was still hesitating whether to warn you? After they heard their intentions, they would take action to remove you after they had agreed with Zaisanbu."

"Who told us about our identity?" Tang Feng was very scared when he heard this. If Man Yi came to see Zhou Tong, or if Zhou Tong had never come here, he was afraid that people like him would really tell them in a few days.

"I don't remember their names, but they are all young people in the tribe. They say you are ill-gotten and want to make plans for their patriarch's daughter, so they want to get rid of you."

"So that's it!" Tang Feng then understood why these people reported to the Jin people when Zaisanbu and did not reveal their identity. It turned out that it was for Da Yu'er. Obviously, these people were not sure to remove them from Zaisanbu and others, so they thought of borrowing the power of the Jin people to deal with him. However, since he knew about this, their conspiracy was obviously impossible to succeed. He patted his next Zhou Tong on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, we would have to die here all of them. But since I already know this, I will never let them succeed, but I may still need your help at that time."

Zhou Tongdao: "As long as it can cause harm to the Jin people, I will definitely help you Lord Tang."

After everything was said, Tang Feng and Lu An returned to their tent quietly. After returning to their residence, Tang Feng did not stop, but asked Lu An to secretly call several leaders of the army into their tent.

After a while, some soldiers arranged to live around Tang Feng's tent secretly came to his residence. Except for a few guards outside, everyone else entered. After a while, a low-key discussion rang out in the tent.

During the following period, the discussion between Zaisanbu and the Jin people reached the most critical moment. Soon, Zaisanbu and the Jin people were convinced by the generous conditions and benefits of the Jin people, and agreed to lead his troops to help when the Jin army and the Ming army started a war. At the same time, he also agreed to borrow the 10,000 troops under his command to Huang Taiji after the snow was in full swing to consolidate his power in the Jin Kingdom.
