Yu Ren's heart moved, but he shook his head at Wang Zaijin. "I don't know what medicine they are selling in the gourd. Whatever they have! No matter what tricks they have, I will decide to launch troops tomorrow. However, in order to catch these Jurchens off guard, my troops can only go out of seclusion at night and cannot light any fire tools to prevent them from discovering it. I hope that Wang Shangshu can cooperate with me."

Wang Zaijin glanced at Yu Ren. Although he didn't know what Yu Ren was going to do, he decided to cooperate with him with all his strength. Because no matter what strategy Yu Ren used to deal with the Jurchens, there were only benefits and no harm to him. What he was most worried about now was that Yu Ren would not leave the seclusion. As long as he came out of seclusion, he would definitely start fighting with the Jurchens. As long as the fight started, it would consume more or less the strength of the Jurchens.

Wang Zaijin believed that with Yu Ren's talent, although he dared not say that he could defeat the Jurchens, he could at least give the Jurchens some consumption. For him, this was enough. He did not expect Yu Renzhen to be able to defeat the Jurchens because he knew very well what kind of people he transferred to Yu Ren. Although it was 20,000 people, most of these people were people who had just escaped from the battlefield in Guangning. These people were just scared by the Jurchens, and it was naturally a dream to rely on them to compete with the Jurchens.

Yu Ren sent troops outside the pass at the beginning of the next day. As soon as the team left the pass, Yu Ren immediately pulled them to the west. Wu Xiang, the general leader of the team, saw that Yu Ren was not leading the troops to attack the Jurchens in front, but pulled the team into this deep mountain forest, and couldn't help but wonder.

At first, Wu Xiang could bear it, thinking that Yu Ren wanted to go around the back of the Jurchen tent from the mountain and give them a surprise. But later, he saw the team going further and further into the mountain, climbing over the ridge of Qinglong Ridge, and seeing the Qinglong River at the foot of the mountain. Wu Xiang could no longer bear it.

"Master, where are we going?"

Yu Ren glanced at Wu Xiang and said, "Go to Qinglong River."

Wu Xiang was even more puzzled. "Didn't the Grand Marshal say he wanted to beat the Jurchens? Why did he come to Qinglong River? Is there no Jurchens here?"

Yu Ren gently patted Wu Xiang on the shoulder. "Don't worry! They will come soon. As long as we wait here patiently for seven days, I promise that the Jurchen cavalry will arrive within seven days."

Wu Xiang obviously didn't believe Yu Ren's words. "How did the Grand Marshal know that the Jurchens would come here?"

Yu Ren smiled gently, "Because I can count!"

Of course, Wu Xiang didn't believe that Yu Ren could make up for it, but since Yu Ren refused to say it, he wouldn't ask more questions. Anyway, Yu Ren said that he had the final say this time. Whether he had military achievements or not had any direct relationship with him, and it would be better if he couldn't meet the Jurchens. Wu Xiang was not a general transferred from another place. He had fought with the Jurchens several times and had never taken advantage of it. Therefore, he knew the interests of the Jurchens. If he could avoid the Jurchens justified, this was the best choice for Wu Xiang.

Yu Ren pulled the team to a valley less than 30 miles away from Qinglong River and stopped. Yu Ren climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the bottom of the valley, and then began to arrange division of labor.

When Wu Xiang saw Yu Ren arranges personnel to lay a lot of explosives underground at the bottom of the valley, he couldn't help but frown secretly. Although using this method to deal with the Jurchens is actually the most labor-saving and effective move, it also requires the Jurchens to be willing to do this!

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the Jurchens cannot come to this wilderness forest for no reason. Therefore, Wu Xiang thought that what Yu Ren was doing now was purely useless. But seeing Yu Ren's serious and anxious look, it was as if the Jurchens were about to come, and he didn't have much advice. Wu Xiang was very open-minded. At worst, he could wait with Yu Renbai here for seven days, just like he was going out for a trip with him, and there was no loss anyway.

It took Yu Ren three days to arrange everything. Then he pulled the team into a dense forest a little far from the valley, and sent only two teams of hundreds of people to lurk on the mountains on both sides of the valley. He just waited for the Jurchens to enter the valley and used rockets to detonate the explosives at the bottom of the valley.

When everything was ready, Yu Ren said to Wu Xiang again, "Do you know why I said that the Jurchens will definitely come?"

Wu Xiang shook his head. He had been thinking about this question for many days, but no matter which aspect he inferred from, the final result was that the Jurchens would not come. But Yu Ren insisted on saying that the Jurchens would come, and he didn't know what reason Yu Ren had.

Seeing that Wu Xiang looked disbelief, Yu Ren pointed to the canyon at the foot of the mountain and said, "Do you know what's special here?"

Wu Xiang looked at the canyon carefully. Except for the length of this canyon is slightly longer than the average canyon, there is no special thing. The Jurchens certainly wouldn't come here because of this. What Yu Ren is referring to is obviously not this. So Wu Xiang could only shake his head.

When Yu Ren saw Wu Xiang, he shook his head and pointed to the distance of the canyon. "After passing this canyon, it is Xifengkou. How about the defense of Xifengkou is compared with Shanhaiguan?"

"Naturally, there is no way to compare with Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan has a natural power, which is much more difficult to attack than Xifengkou. In addition, the imperial court has allocated silver to repair the pass many times in recent years. Now Shanhaiguan is completely shameless to say that it is the number one pass in the world. Of course, it is not comparable to Xifengkou."

Although Wu Xiang said this, he still didn't understand what this had to do with the Jurchens.

Seeing that he had not yet understood, Yu Ren said again, "Do you know why those Jurchens didn't attack Shanhaiguan and sent people into the mountains to search for mountain people?"

Wu Xiang shook his head again.

"Because they only have 5,000 people. This Jurchen general is obviously very clear. It is impossible to capture Shanhaiguan with the 5,000 people he has in his hands. So, he wanted to find another shortcut, intending to bypass Shanhaiguan and head straight to Beijing."

Wu Xiang finally understood this time. "What the Grand Marshal means is that we deliberately lead them here and then block them from killing them on the spot?"

Yu Ren nodded. "Not bad!"

"But, the Jurchens are not only brave, but also cunning. Can they be fooled?"

"Don't worry! I've found out about this Jurchen general. It was Yue Tuo who suffered a loss in Zhenjiang Castle not long ago. This kid lost face in Zhenjiang last time. This time he must have made a great contribution to get back his face. As long as he knows this opportunity, he will never let it go. As for the details of seducing the enemy, I have already arranged it and you don't have to worry."

Wu Xiang didn't say anything, but he still didn't believe Yu Ren's judgment. After all, the Jurchens had never done such a detour. Their war strategy was always: whoever blocked their way forward would knock down. Although Yu Ren's analysis was very reasonable, Wu Xiang believed that this did not conform to the combat style of the Jurchens. Therefore, he still did not believe that the Jurchens would come.

Everyone waited in Qinglong Ridge for five days, but the Jurchens did not come.

On the sixth day, just after noon, I came to report in front of me and said that I was the pioneer of the Jurchens who discovered the Jurchens in front of me.

Yu Ren said to Wu Xiang, who looked unbelievable, "How is it, I'm right?"

After saying that, Yu Ren ordered the army to prepare and proceed as planned.

This Jurchen cavalry was indeed the team of troops led by Yue Tuo. However, the number was only about 4,000. Because in order to confuse the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, he deliberately left behind a thousand people.

Yue Tuo went down Qinglong Ridge and saw that the valley ahead was Xifengkou, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect that he had actually found a shortcut. When he thought that he was about to make such an invincible achievement, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

"Brothers, there is Xifengkou ahead. Let's have supper on their Han people's Great Wall tonight. Do you think it's okay?"

There was a lot of applause behind Yuetuo, and then the Jurchen cavalry rushed into the valley.

When all the Jurchens entered the valley, the Ming army lurking on both sides of the valley decisively detonated the explosives buried under the valley. For a moment, the explosions burst into flames. There was also the sound of people shouting and horses neighing in the middle. The calm valley instantly turned into hell on earth.

Seeing this, Yue Tuo shouted "Not good" and went back to the horse and ran towards the road ahead.

Unfortunately, the entrance was blocked by a pile of rocks at this time, and the horses could not leap over. Yue Tuo had to give up his mount and with the help of his subordinates, he led hundreds of people out of the valley.

But as soon as they left the valley, they were blocked by Yu Ren who was just coming towards him.

Without saying a word, Yu Ren raised his knife and chopped towards Yue Tuo.

At this time, Yue Tuo's arms were injured. Seeing that Yu Ren was slashing with his big sword, he couldn't dodge, so he had to raise his sword to greet him.
