Chapter 89: One word becomes a prophecy, the key to building a state (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Looking at Li Xianzhong's retreating back, Xiong Tingbi's expression still looked very solemn.

Yan Mingtai comforted him and said, "Is Xiong Jinglue worried that General Li will be ambushed by Jianlu when he goes there?"

Xiong Tingbi said helplessly: "It's hard to save Ye He this time. Although General Li has five thousand elite soldiers, if Jianlu has his own plans, it may be more misfortune than good."

Xiong Tingbi analyzed a series of victories achieved by Li Xianzhong.

In fact, they all avoided the real situation and attacked the weak, and used unexpected methods to attack Jianlu.

It was Li Xianzhong who always took the initiative on the battlefield and led the enemy by the nose.

He is better at luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, and always uses more to attack fewer enemies, luring the enemy to the battlefield of his choice.

Moreover, this kid has never faced Jianzhou's main force head-on. In the two attacks on Hetuala, he took advantage of the absence of their main force to steal their home.

It might not be easy for him to save Ye He from under the eyes of Jianzhou and Horqin this time.

Yan Mingtai knew a lot about Li Xianzhong and knew that this boy never played according to the routine.

He smiled and said: "I think General Li will be fine. I guess he will not go directly to Ye He. If I am not wrong, he should be attacking Horqin's camp at the moment."

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi finally smiled and said, "If we use troops like this, I'm a little worried."

At this time, Yuan Yingtai on the side said impatiently: "I think you are all worried. Li Xianzhong will be fine at all. This is probably Jianlu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. We'd better guard the South Pass. I think this place will be settled soon." There was a fierce battle.”

This guy Yuan Yingtai has been acting weird all day, and it's really hard for a dog to spit out ivory.

Not to mention Li Xianzhong, even Gao Zhen, the general on the side, wanted to slap him. Can't we hope for something better?

Li Xianzhong's five thousand cavalry went directly out of Zhenbeiguan and headed towards Ye Hebu City.

On the hillside outside the pass, several Jianlu sentries were observing the movement outside the pass. One person said with a smile: "The Ming army's cavalry is blocking the sky and the sun can't be seen to the end. It looks like there are at least four to five thousand cavalry."

"Go and report to Sibeile quickly. The main force of the Ming army has been dispatched and is heading towards Yehe."

After the Ming army marched twenty miles, Li Xianzhong suddenly shouted: "The whole army stops advancing!"

Li Sanshun asked in confusion: "Ye He is in danger now, don't we go to rescue him quickly?"

Historically, when Nurhaci concentrated the main forces of the Eight Banners to attack with all his strength, Yehe's east and west cities still resisted for several days. If the Jin army had not used gunpowder to blow down a section of the east city wall, it is estimated that Yehe City would not have been conquered in a short time.

Now that Houjin's military strength was weaker than at the same time in history, Ye He had a three-eyed blunderbuss and some cloth-faced armor, which increased his strength. He did not worry at all that the old slave would break through the city.

It is estimated that the main force of the Eight Banners is setting a trap in front now, and he cannot get in.

Li Xianzhong shouted: "To the west, let's go to the Mongolian grassland!"

Soon the Ming army turned their horses and headed towards the grassland.

Soon after, densely packed Mongolian cavalry appeared on the grassland, numbering as many as five or six thousand.

The leader is none other than Zai Sai from the flower speculation department.

After annexing his uncle Nuantu's tribe, his strength has greatly increased.

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Zaisai said with a smile: "According to reliable information, Ming'an's main cavalry has already gone to Yehe, and Horqin's camp is now empty."

Li Xianzhong said: "It seems that Changsheng Tian favored the leader of Zasai and sent you cattle, sheep and tribes. It is still the old rule. I will take the head, and we will share the property equally. Horqin's tribe belongs to you!"

Zaisai's wrinkled face is now smiling. This is the second time he has cooperated with Li Xianzhong, and Mr. Li is so open-minded.

If he hadn't been much older than Li Xianzhong, he might have made peace with General Li.

It's a pity that Ye Hebu got there first. He could only wait for Li Xianzhong to marry Haqiya before giving his daughter to him as a concubine.

At this time, these two groups of more than [-] horses were galloping directly towards Horqin's base camp in Mongolia.

It is already May, almost 2 months have passed since the previous Liaodong War. The Ming army is constantly replenishing its strength, and Nurhachi is naturally not idle either.

He is also working hard to restore his troops, but the Jurchen population is too small.

Although they captured some more people from the "savage tribe" from the Heilongjiang coast and added in some of the tribe's 60 or 65-year-olds who were relatively strong and 6 to [-]-year-olds who could still move freely, the total was still There are only [-] people.

Moreover, the five Niu Lu led by Fei Yingdong were completely wiped out by Ye He during this period.

A total of 4500 people were added inside and outside.

The total number of Jianzhou Eight Banners under his command was restored to 4.

In fact, he did not recover well. Ye He's troubles caused a lot of land in Jianzhou to not catch up with spring plowing.

But he couldn't wait any longer, because Daming recovered much faster than him.

According to intelligence, the Ming army now has more than 7 people east of the Liaohe River. If the Ming army in Guangning, Yizhou, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan are included, the Ming army in the entire Liaodong has no less than 9 people.

Moreover, follow-up reinforcements are continuously heading to Liaodong. I believe that within a few months, the number of Liaodong Ming troops will greatly exceed theirs.What's even worse is that this Li Xianzhong is very restless. He not only repaired the Liaodong border wall on Tieling Road, but also took care of the Mongolian flower speculation department; he married Ye He's Buyangu. It is obvious that he must be behind Ye He's uncharacteristic behavior. Get ghost.

You don't need to think about it to know that he will come out of seclusion next and actively harass Jianzhou.

At this time, the main force of Jianzhou had all been concentrated in Jiefan City east of Fushun Pass.

In fact, the construction of this city had already started before the war with the Ming army, and it has just been completed now.

Sibeile Huang Taiji said: "Reporting to the Great Khan, the 20 shi of food from the King of Korea has been delivered. Now we have enough military food to conquer the Ming Kingdom again."

Originally, due to the joint destruction of Li Xianzhong and Ye He, Jianzhou's food was not sufficient.So Huang Taiji suggested using the [-] captured Korean troops and the "king's man" Korean commander Jiang Hongli to ask for food from the Korean king. In the end, the Korean king Li Hui obediently submitted.

He also promised to remain neutral and no longer intervene in the war between Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou.

Although the Eight Banners' troops are insufficient, these are not a problem for the old slaves.

He turned the original number of 300 people into 215 people.

In this way, the Niulu lost by each banner was made up for.

Before the war, the total number of Jianzhou Eight Banners was 210 Niulu, and it is still 210 Niulu today. Of course, the two yellow flags and the Zhengbai Banner, which had suffered smaller losses before, allocated some flags to other banners.

Although this kind of self-deception cannot increase military strength, it can indeed enhance the self-confidence of each banner owner and resolve the internal conflicts of the Eight Banners.

Nurhachi knew very well that in the future, Jin's current strength would once again penetrate the hinterland of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and it would be unrealistic to capture Shenyang or Liaoyang.

His target is naturally his mortal enemy Ye Hebu.

Only by annexing Ye He's tribe can the bannermen of the Eight Banners make a greater recovery.

However, the current commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Kaiyuan Army has been changed from Ma Lin to Li Xianzhong, and the strength of the Ming Army Kaiyuan Road has been strengthened.

If Jianzhou annexes Yehe, it will inevitably be attacked by the Ming army.

Therefore, his goal this time was to seize the Kaiyuan Road of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he could not hold on for a long time, he would still plunder the Kaiyuan Road so that the Ming army would have no time to rescue Ye He.

Kaiyuan Road, which has three horse markets, is richer than Fushun before.

For this reason, he sent 1 suspicious soldiers to haunt Ye He's territory, and directly sent the [-] pieces of cloth armor he had promised previously to Horqin in exchange for them sending troops to contain Ye He.

It can be said that everything is ready now, all we need is the east wind.

As a fast horse entered Jiefan City, he finally got the "Dongfeng" he wanted.

Huang Taiji said excitedly: "Reporting to the Great Khan, Li Xianzhong's five thousand cavalry have left Kaiyuan Beiguan and are currently rushing to Yehe City."

Nurhachi patted his sweat seat heavily and said loudly: "Okay, let's send the order to march to Guangshun Pass!"

At this time, Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Jierhalang, Dudu and others also seemed extremely excited. The Niulu they lost had been made up for.

The deep and determined look in the Khan's eyes gave them endless confidence.

Except for a unit of Xianghong Banner who stayed behind in Hetuala to contain the Ming army outside Fushun Pass, the main force of 4 people from other banners went straight to Guangshun Pass.

In fact, Jiefan City was still more than 40 miles away from Guangshun Pass, but they did not dare to gather the army too close to Guangshun Pass.If they are detected by Ye Bushou of the Ming Army, the target of this attack will be exposed.

Jianzhou was very well prepared this time. In addition to the main force of 4 Eight Banners, the same number of auxiliary troops were also dispatched.

They not only prepared siege equipment such as carts and ladders, but also prepared many empty carts, as well as mules and horses to carry goods.

In their view, without Li Xianzhong and the Liaodong Cavalry, Kaiyuan Road was basically undefended.

This time they can loot as much as they did when they invaded Fushun and Qinghe last year, and avenge the destruction of Gule Village by the Ming army!

Nurhachi understood that Jianzhou's morale was maintained by looting. As long as he successfully broke into the original route this time, the previous losses could be made up for.

At this time, Li Xianzhong's wonderful expression after returning to the army and seeing Kaiyuan Lubei looted everything appeared in his mind.

However, he knew very well that this battle must be fought quickly.

After all, the thousand suspicious soldiers in Yehe City could not hold Li Xianzhong back for too long, and Horqin Mongolia was even more unreliable.

The formation of the Eight Banners soldiers was so large that they were discovered by Ye Bushou of the Ming army ten miles away from Nanguan.

Soon after, a fast horse arrived in front of Guangshun Pass. Ye Bushou shouted: "The enemy is attacking. The main force of Jianlu is coming to attack Nanguan. Hurry and defend against the enemy!"

At this time, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Yingtai had returned to Kaiyuan City, and Guangshun Pass was garrisoned by Yan Mingtai, Gao Zhen, Mao Wenlong, and Yu Wanli who came for reinforcements.

Originally, Mao Wenlong seemed very excited when he heard the enemy attack.But when I heard that the Tatars were boundless and came out in full force, with no less than 8 auxiliary troops, I was still shocked!
