Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 37 Li Xianzhong comes out of seclusion (please read the new chapter)
After Yan Mingtai and three others narrowly escaped death in Qinghe Fort, they naturally did not dare to run towards Shenyang.After all, that is the attack route of the Houjin Cavalry. Even if the main force has passed, if they encounter a group of coated auxiliary soldiers, the three of them are no match.

So after much thought, they decided to go north to Crow Falcon Pass, which was still in the hands of the Ming army and the distance was much closer than going to Shenyang.

The three of them walked on the icy and snowy road for a long time. Fortunately, they had eaten a lot of horse meat at Qinghe Fort. Otherwise, they would have starved to death if they walked under such conditions.

A sudden huge shock knocked the surrounding snow down on several people.

He Ling whispered: "Supervisor Yan seems to have a large number of cavalry."

Yan Mingtai secretly thought that it was wrong, it was Jianlu who wanted to send troops to attack Crow Falcon Pass.

When the men and horses approached, they were excited to find that it was Li Xianzhong's Liaodong cavalry.

This made the three of them so happy that they rolled down the nearby mountain.

When Li Sanshun saw three Tatars in red armor appearing on the road, he thought they had encountered Jianlu's spies. Fortunately, Yan Mingtai shouted in time, otherwise they would probably have died.

Neither side expected to meet here. After learning about the fierce battle in Qinghe Fort, Li Xianzhong also handed over to the three of them and said: "The three thousand brothers in Qinghe Fort are all good, and neither the Ming Dynasty nor my Li family will forget you. "

Li Xianzhong knew very well that whether Qinghe Fort could be defended did not depend on Yan Mingtai, but on Jianlu's determination to attack the city. With Yue Tuo's desperate efforts, it was remarkable that they could hold on for a whole day and severely damaged the enemy.

Yan Mingtai also quickly realized that Li Xianzhong went to Crow Pass to attack the Tatars' lair.

He couldn't help but admire Li Xianzhong's courage, and only in this way could he force Jianlu to finally retreat.

Although there is more than 20 years of age difference between the two, at this moment, there is a feeling that they have met each other too late.

The two talked about everything, from the situation in the court to the war in Liaodong.

Li Xianzhong, a keyboard warrior, suddenly realized a very serious problem. The Ming Dynasty "controlled military affairs with culture and controlled by large and small"; military generals had a low status and it was difficult to stand alone.

People like Li Chengliang were just a special case, and the court quickly used various means to suppress the Li family to prevent the military from becoming powerful.

Therefore, his desire to get rid of Yang Hao and gain military and political power in Liaodong for his father is just the wishful thinking of the "keyboard man".

Even Li Chengliang's military position at that time was only the Liaodong Commander-in-Chief, but there was no official position as Liaodong Manager at that time. The Liaodong Commander-in-Chief was equivalent to the highest military command in the Liaodong region.

Now Li Rubai's Liaodong general army cannot be compared with Li Chengliang's Liaodong general army.

After that, all the managers of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty were civil servants. Whether it was Yang Hao now or Xiong Tingbi later, they were at least Jinshi.

It seems that it is almost impossible for his father to be in the position of Liaodong Manager.

He suddenly felt that Yang Hao was no longer such a waste. At least he still safeguarded the interests of Liao Town and was willing to reuse the Li family.

Now he finally felt a little bit of Li Chengliang's helplessness in "supporting bandits".

He then looked at the supervisor Yan Mingtai in front of him. If this person could become governor of Liaodong, governor of Jiliao, and minister of the Ministry of War in just a few years, he must have such connections and connections in the court.

It seems that I must have a good relationship with him. Maybe he will become a big help to me in the court in the future, although he is only a fourth-grade Liaodong minister now.

Li Xianzhong said: "Young man and Yan Jianjun are very fond of each other. Can I boldly call you 'Brother Yan'?"

Yan Mingtai also admired Li Xianzhong quite a lot, and the Li family of Liaodong behind him was naturally happy to see his success. He said, "Brother, you are welcome. From now on, you and I will treat each other as brothers in private situations."

Soon they arrived outside Crow Falcon Pass.

Although Nurhaci gave up the idea of ​​storming Crow Falcon Pass, Zhenghongqi still left ten Niulu behind to keep an eye on the Ming army at Crow Falcon Pass and prevent them from making rash moves.

There were 7 Niulu stationed outside Crow Falcon Pass to prevent the Ming army from leaving Crow Falcon Pass eastward and attacking the hinterland of Jianzhou.

There are also three Niu Lu left within the border wall of Liaodong to monitor the movements of the Ming army in Crow Falcon Pass.

Soon the three hundred cavalry led by Li Sanshun appeared outside Crow Falcon Pass.

Zheng Hongqi saw that the Ming army only had [-] cavalry, so he quickly went up to intercept them.After all, they don't have many troops. It would be bad if the Ming army in the pass also came out together.At this time, the Ming army at Crow Falcon Pass also noticed the strange movements outside the pass. The guard said: "It seems that reinforcements have arrived outside the pass. Go and ask for General He."

When He Shixian rushed to Guancheng, he found that the three Niulu Tatars had been surrounded and killed by the cavalry regiments led by Li Xianzhong.

So he quickly led his troops out of the pass and attacked Jianlu together.

Soon these nine hundred red flags were completely wiped out by the Ming army!
He Shixian had been stationed at Crow Falcon Pass and cut off contact with the outside world.

After learning about this series of changes, he was also shocked.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the two sides had already fought many battles.

He said: "Now that the Tatars have occupied Qinghe Road and have marched towards Shenyang, what should we do?"

Li Xianzhong and Yan Mingtai looked at each other and smiled, and finally Yan Mingtai said: "General He listened to the order and asked you to lead his troops to cooperate with Li Xianzhong to annihilate the Jianlu outside the pass."

He Shixian cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders!"

Although Li Xianzhong was promoted, he was only a third-grade general. After all, He Shixian was a chief military officer, two ranks higher than him.

Calling him "Young General" is to give face to coach Li Rubai. It is most appropriate for Yan Mingtai to control him at this time.

Historically, General He was also a fierce general. Not long after the "Battle of Sarhu", he led his troops to support Tieling and beheaded more than a hundred people. Then in the Battle of Shenyang, He Shixian personally led more than a thousand servants to go out of the city to attack the prisoners. Finally, He was hit by dozens of arrows and died in battle.

To be honest, this dear man is more than brave but not very wise.

If the [-] Ming army held on to Shenyang, with the help of fortified city artillery, the Jin army would not be able to defeat it at all.

But as the commander-in-chief, he actually led more than a thousand servants out of the city to fight after getting drunk. In the end, he fell into the trap of luring the enemy, causing the Ming army to be defeated.

Then the city gates of Shenyang were opened by spies, causing Shenyang, an important town in Liaodong heavily defended by 7 troops, to fall in just one day.

That's why Li Xianzhong asked his father to strictly order He Shixian to defend Crow Falcon Pass and not to take the initiative to attack.

At this time, the Ming army was not afraid of the Hou Jin army at all. Whether it was Sarhu or the subsequent battles of Kaiyuan, Tieling, Shenyang, and Liaoyang, almost all of the main force of the Ming army was annihilated in wild confrontations with the Hou Jin army. .

If the Ming army was really afraid of Hou Jin's cavalry, they would not have gone ahead and fought successively, resulting in a wave of casualties in the field.

It seems that the "obscene" style of play like Yan Mingtai's in Qinghe Fort must be vigorously promoted in the Ming army.

Li Xianzhong said: "Brother Yan, after our army enters Crow Falcon Pass, Jianlu will definitely receive the news. Xianghongqi has suffered heavy casualties now. I predict that Yue Tuo will not dare to send troops to attack Crow Falcon Pass. With the strength of our army, although There is no problem in directly attacking Zhenghongqi's seven Niulu from the front, but if this is the case, our army's casualties will definitely be considerable, and I still need Brother Yan and General He to help me."

So Li Xianzhong whispered a few words to Yan Mingtai and then led his army south again.

The news that a Ming army entered Crow Falcon Pass quickly reached Zhenghong Banner Jia La Ezhen Sumeha.

Therefore, the Hou Jin army outside the pass strengthened its surveillance of Crow Falcon Pass and found that the Ming army inside the pass was mobilized frequently, and there seemed to be signs of going out of the pass to fight.

When Hou Jin's cavalry arrived for reconnaissance, they were even bombarded by the Ming army. All this shows that the Ming army is likely to take the initiative to attack from Crow Falcon Pass.

At this time, more than 3000 cavalry led by Li Xianzhong had passed through the Liaodong border wall and arrived in Jianzhou.

Li Sanshun asked: "Major General, why don't we go to Sanyangyu, which is closer, and choose Gushan Fort, which is further away?"

Li Xianzhong said: "Sanyang Valley is very close, but there must be Jianlu's sentry cavalry; we secretly dug Gushan Fort ourselves a few days ago. Jianlu must not know that the Liaodong border wall here can also march, so it can kill them." Caught off guard."
