From somewhere, the rumors about Yuan Chonghuan Tongnu had spread throughout Liaodong where the Ming army was stationed.

Although many generals tried their best to prevent the spread of rumors, the army was still spread everywhere. People who did not believe such rumors gradually began to believe it.

It’s not that people are willing to believe it, but that the legend has a nose and eyes. Everything is the same as the real one, and it’s hard for people not to doubt the truth or falsehood.

Hurry!

Yuan Chonghuan overturned the table in front of Zu Dashou.

"Put the platform to relieve anger, these are all rumors, and they are not worthy of relying on." Zu Dashou looked at Yuan Chonghuan's incisive face and comforted him carefully.

Yuan Chonghuan glared at him coldly and said, "Only you and I know about this matter. Every time I receive a letter, I burn it immediately after reading it. How do outsiders know about it?"

Zu Dashou's body trembled.

I understand that the other party suspected that the news was leaked from him.

Then he shouted injustice: "The General is wronged! What is the benefit of leaking such a thing to the General? The General is also a participant. Once the imperial court knows it, the General will be difficult for the General to escape."

In fact, he himself was very puzzled. The things between them and the thief chief were obviously very secretive, so how could it be spread everywhere?

After hearing his explanation, Yuan Chonghuan's face cleared slightly.

It is true that as Zu Dashou said, both of them were grasshoppers tied to a rope, and no one could escape. Zu Dashou’s disclosure of this matter was not beneficial to him at all.

"Futai, do you think it was deliberately leaked by Huang Taiji?" Zu Dashou expressed his guess.

Because they did not disclose the news, only Huang Taiji could disclose the news.

Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said, "What good will the thief chief discloses this matter? Even if the official leaves Ningyuan City, can he still conquer Shanhaiguan!"

As long as the Ming army defenders were in chaos, he believed that slave thieves would not have the chance to conquer Shanhaiguan.

Moreover, Ningjin's front line has become the last place for the generals to gain foothold in Liaodong. Once the slave thieves are taken away, the generals will lose the reason to reach out to the court for salary.

It is impossible for the gate to give up Shanhaiguan unless it is forced.

"Can it be the news leaked by the people around the thief chief?" Zu Dashou said suspiciously.

Yuan Chonghuan frowned deeply when he heard this and said, "If something goes wrong with the thief chief, once someone gets the letter sent by me, you and me may end up with a behead."

"Otherwise, I will find a way to contact there to see if there is a problem there. If there is a problem there, we can make timely remedies." Zu Dashou asked Yuan Chonghuan.

After finally reaching the general, he couldn't bear to give up just like that.

Although it was a way out for him to defect to the slave thief, it was no match for the treatment he enjoyed when he stayed in the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, you can contact the other side secretly to see if it was the information leaked from them. Don't delay it, go now."

"Yes, I will leave." Zu Dashou clasped his fists and turned around and prepared to leave.

Yuan Chonghuan reminded behind him: "Be careful, don't let people discover that everything you do with me is under the surveillance of others."

"Don't worry, I will guarantee that people will not discover it." Zu Dashou promised.

After Zu Dashou left, Yuan Chonghuan sat in his seat and pondered for a long time, and finally decided to write a resignation memorial to send it to the capital to test the attitude of the court.

He wouldn't even think about asking the court to use the navy's union slave thieves to attack Pi Island.

If such a request was really made to the court, the rumors outside would really become true.

Just as Ning Jin spread the rumors that Yuan Chonghuan secretly affair with slave thieves, the spies in Ningyuan City immediately passed the news back to Huang Taiji's head.

Huang Taiji, who received this news, was also stunned.

He was not worried about what would happen to Yuan Chonghuan, but because of this matter, his plan to get the Ming Navy through Yuan Chonghuan to deal with Pi Dao was completely failed.

"Mr. Fan, do you explain how the country knows about Yuan Chonghuan's private relationships with Ben Khan?" Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng.

He never concealed Fan Wencheng from the matter of secretly discussing with Yuan Chonghuan.

At the same time, this is also a countermeasure he and Fan Wencheng discussed together.

Fan Wencheng said thoughtfully: "The news should have been leaked from somewhere. Now I don't know if it was the news leaked from Dahan or Yuan Chonghuan."

"There are boats, there are boats." A sharp-eyed man on the shore pointed his fingers into the sea and shouted loudly.

Jirgalang, who was on the shore, looked over.

I saw several large ships sailing towards Pidao, all of which were from the Ming Navy. Any one of them was much larger than the ships they prepared themselves.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fired on the ship with the tiger flag, targeting the Han army on the sea.

A huge iron ball hit the sea water, splashing towering water columns.

"Belle, the enemy's shelling is too fierce. Can the people on the ship retreat first?" The Han army leader came to Jirgalang and asked him to allow the Han army on the sea to retreat.

Jirgalang said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, the enemy has only a few ships, but your people have dozens of ships and rafts, so don't be afraid of them."

"This is different!" The Han army general looked bitter.

There are many ships on one side, but you can only transport troops to the opposite island and you can't fight at sea. At first glance, the other side's ship is a common warship used by the navy.

When we meet, we have no power to fight back.

Jirgalang's face sank and said coldly: "No one can retreat without my orders. Whoever wants to order the withdrawal of troops privately, don't blame our military law for engaging in military law."

His eyes looked at the Han army commander in front of him.

As long as he can climb to the opposite island, he will not care about the many Han soldiers who died.

After a round of artillery testing, the warships on the side of the tiger flag began to use their cannons to continuously bombard the small ships of the Han army on the sea.

When a cannon falls on the boat, a boat of people falls into the sea.

The warships sent on Pi Island were all captured by the Denlai Navy Division. The number of guns on it was small, and several guns were fired, and at most one shot hit the target.

This is because the sea surface in the sea between Tieshan and Pi Island is relatively calm, otherwise there would be fewer cannons that could hit the target.

The cannons fired many times, but most of the ships and rafts that the Han army and Han army were still intact.

The Han army commander on the shore secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
