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

Chapter 43: Joy falls from the sky (please read the new chapter)

After repelling the Jianlu, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang City was unprecedentedly high. All the previous rumors made everyone confused. One moment, the Ming army was defeated, and the other moment, the Ming army was victorious.

However, this time the Ming army repelled the Jianlu, but everyone saw it with their own eyes. The large number of carriages and hundreds of corpses abandoned by the Jianlu outside the city were real.

A stone finally fell from Yang Hao's heart. This was considered a true victory under his command.

Although not many enemies were wiped out, it was of great significance and stabilized the situation in Liaodong that was about to collapse.

The governor of Jiliao Wang Keshou, the governor of Liaodong Zhou Yongchun, the governor Chen Yuting and other civil officials were also in high spirits.

Wang Keshou and Zhou Yongchun went to the city gate in person to boost morale and made great contributions.

Although Chen Yuting did not climb the tower, he uncovered more than 200 spies in one fell swoop. His success in repelling the Jianlu was certainly indispensable to him.

Li Rubai, who personally commanded the defense of the city, seemed to have little to do with this victory.

At this time, Tan Ma came to report that Jianlu's camp outside the city was empty. It seemed that Jianlu had withdrawn his troops.

Now the civil servants were even more energetic.

Zhou Yongchun, the governor of Liaodong, said: "Although we have implemented a strong wall and clearing the country in Shenyang, tens of thousands of people were still taken captive by the Jianlu. We also asked Yang Jinglue to take advantage of the victory to pursue the Jianqi and give a greater blow to the Jianqi. No matter what happens, we can rescue some of them." The people who were taken captive.”

Zhou Yongchun's words made both Yang Hao and Li Rubai feel speechless. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

I have to say that there is no harm without comparison. Although Yang Hao's military command level is indeed not very good, compared with these civilian officials, he can still barely fulfill the role of "knowing soldiers".

Yang Hao thought to himself: I finally escaped from death and escaped from the hooves of Jianlu's horses, and you actually asked me to go out of the city to pursue you. Is this really an old man eating arsenic (tired of living)?
So he said: "Jianlu has always been cunning and often uses tricks like this to lure the enemy deeper. Although our army has a small victory today, we must not be careless."

"Besides, the Jianlu are all cavalry and move quickly. If they really leave, we won't be able to catch up. If they deliberately let us catch up, it must be their trick to lure the enemy."

Wang Keshou, the governor of Jiliao, also believed that it was too risky to go out of the city to pursue Jianlu at this time, so Zhou Yongchun gave up the idea.

Nurhaci, who was retreating at this time, was also very depressed. He did not expect that the Ming army actually left the Crow Falcon Pass, and then broke through Zhenghongqi's blockage in one fell swoop and headed straight for Hetuala.

It seems that the remaining Liaodong cavalry of the Li family have not withdrawn to Shenyang City. This is because their intelligence is lagging behind.

If he had known earlier that this cavalry had not retreated to Shenyang, he would have been on guard against him.

Now that the main force of the Ming army in Liaodong has not been revealed, his nest has been stolen by the Ming army.

Daishan said: "Don't worry, Great Khan, there is a blue flag stationed in Hetuala. Although Jierhalang is new to the army, he is assisted by veteran general He Heli. The Ming army is just a light cavalry raid, and it should not be able to break Hetuala."

Hetuala is the foundation of Houjin. If it is attacked by the Ming army, the wealth they have accumulated over the past few decades will be wiped out.

Huang Taiji on the side also said: "The eldest brother is right. With He Heli's maturity and prudent attitude, Hetuala will definitely not make any mistakes. But this Ming army has attacked a large number of cities in the south of Hetuala before. I'm afraid that the north There will be problems in Gule Village."

"I suggest that we do not return from Qinghe Road, but go directly to Fushun Pass and return to Hetuala from the north. This way we have a certain probability of blocking the Ming army's cavalry from the north."

Huang Taiji's suggestion made Daishan very unhappy, because as a result, Yue Tuo, who stayed in Qinghe Fort, became a lone army and was likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army.

The ten Niu Lu he had left at Crow Falcon Pass had been wiped out by the Ming army. If Yue Tuo's half-broken red flag was eaten by the Ming army again, then his two red flags would be gone.This is something he cannot accept under any circumstances.

So Daishan said: "It is not advisable to return to Hetuala from Fushun Pass. First, our army must attack Fushun Pass, which increases uncertainty. After all, no one can guarantee that Fushun Pass will be captured in a short time."

"In addition, if the Ming army gets information about our attack on Fushun Pass and turns to Crow Falcon Pass, Yue Tuo stationed at Qinghe Fort will likely be surrounded by the Ming army."

"It's too risky to go through Fushun Pass."

Mang Gurtai had long been dissatisfied with Huang Taiji. He said: "Sibeile's plan is too risky, and it is likely to cause Xianghongqi to be withdrawn and destroyed by the Ming army. Moreover, even if we go through Fushun Pass, there will be no time to stop the Ming Dynasty." The army captured Gule Village."

"For the sake of a possible annihilation of the enemy, I, Dajin, cannot afford to take the risk of putting a group of troops in danger; I agree with Dabeile's opinion that the army should take the Qinghe Road, which at least ensures that the army can return to Hetuala smoothly. We cannot make this mistake The Ming army made the mistake of dividing its troops and advancing rashly, which in turn was taken advantage of by the Ming army."

In fact, both sides are reasonable. No matter which route is taken, there are pros and cons. Of course, Daishan's opinion is more stable.

At this time, news came from Yue Tuo: The Ming army at Crow Falcon Pass was quite active. Not only did they actively attack the sentries he sent to Crow Falcon Pass, they also continued to infiltrate around Qinghe Fort. They seemed to have the intention of attacking Qinghe Fort.

After all, the casualties in Jianzhou were already very high at this time, and the five flags were damaged to varying degrees. If the Xianghong Banner was wiped out by the Ming army, and the Eight Banners became Seven Banners, he would not be able to accept this in any case.

So Nurhachi decided that the army should return along the original route, go to Qinghe Fort with Yue Tuo's red flag, and then return to Jianzhou through the two gaps in the Liaodong border wall.

One day later, after Tan Ma came to report that the main force of Jianlu had withdrawn from the Liaodong Border Wall and burned Qinghe Fort, Shenyang began to send small groups of cavalry out of the city to the vicinity of Qinghe Fort.

At this time, Yang Hao and others finally felt relieved. It seemed that Jianlu had really retreated this time.

Although they had already written the report on the "Great Victory in Shenyang", they had not yet sent it out.

After all, Zha Huizu died in the battle and Yan Mingtai's entire army was wiped out in Qinghe Fort. They did not know the specific circumstances of these two battles.The only record they could achieve in this "Great Victory in Shenyang" was the 200 positive yellow flags that were destroyed under Shenyang City.

Although compared to the 30 people and animals that the Jianlu captured last year, their gains near Shenyang this time were not many, but if reported to the court, this would be an out-and-out defeat.

The Ming Dynasty spent countless money and food to raise four armies to attack Jianzhou, but in the end, Jianlu went all the way into the hinterland of Liaodong, plundered and then left.

Where do you put the dignity of Ming Dynasty and His Majesty Wanli?
This gave Yang Hao, who was accustomed to turning defeat into victory, a headache and lost his thoughts for a while.

When several people were in a dilemma, the cavalry reporting victory from Fushun arrived in Shenyang.

In the early morning of March [-], Tieling General Li Xianzhong swept through the Jianlu lair and made a lot of gains. He rescued more than [-] captive people and seized hundreds of carts of supplies. At present, the army has passed Fushun Pass and is heading towards Shenyang.

This made Yang Hao and others overjoyed. They finally knew the reason why Jianlu retreated. It turned out that Li Xianzhong directly raided Jianzhou's lair.

This is really "there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers."

Yang Hao and Wang Keshou quickly ordered Shenyang City to be decorated with lights and colorful decorations to celebrate another Ming Dynasty "Plowing the Court and Sweeping the Holes"!
They want to lead Shenyang's civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him!
