"My lord, the rebels have crossed the Anping River! To chase or not to chase our army? ”

Zhenglan Jiala Zhen Chahara came over to ask for instructions from Huerhan, who was Amin's subordinate and was also an old general of Shulhaqi who was killed by Nurhachi in the past.

The pursued rebels were only a few hundred, and Hu Erhan originally wanted to order the whole army to cross the river to pursue, but Leng Geri, who accompanied Hu Erhan to encircle and suppress the Zhenghuang Banner Jia Lazhangjing, and the first lieutenant general of the Imperial Rank, persuaded Hu Erhan not to cross the river.

"The traitor must have fled to Yizhou when he crossed the river, and now the king of Khan raised troops to rebel against the Ming, and the army of the Ming court gathered in Liaoyang, and the king of Khan told the lord to lead the army to the east, in order to protect the safety of the capital and prevent the traitors from colluding with the Ming army of Yizhou. The main force of the traitors is gone, and the lord immediately leads the army back to the division, if the pursuit across the river makes the Ming army of Yizhou light, it will be very disadvantageous to our army. ”

Leng Geri has a point, the remaining rebels are only a few hundred people, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Dajin. But if Hu Erhan ordered the whole army to cross the river to pursue, then it would be impossible for the Ming army in Yizhou to sit back and watch this rebel army be destroyed.

It's not that I'm afraid of the thousands of Ming troops in Yizhou, but it's actually the most dangerous moment since the founding of the country, and in the face of the Ming court's army, the army of the Eastern Expedition can return to defense one day earlier to increase the chances of the Khan's side dealing with the main force of the Ming army.

At this point, when Huerhan led his division eastward, Nurhachi gave him a face-to-face instruction, asking him to return to the division immediately after solving the problem of returning to his hometown.

In addition, it is inconvenient for Leng Geli to point out that the junction of the Da'anping River and the Hunhe River is the place where Dabeile Yuying and the third elder brother Abai were defeated, which is ominous to Dajin.

"It's cheaper than the two traitors of TOEFL and Guerto!"

Hu Erhan listened to Leng Geri's advice and ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and he did not want to confront the Ming army of Yizhou. At the same time, he ordered the Forehead, Zhenghuang Banner Jialazhangjing Leng Monk Ji, who was pursuing the rebels to the north, and Jiala, Ezhen Tunbulu, Bakshi Aibali and others must surround Suohun and bring the head of the traitor back to the capital.

After deploying these, Hu Erhan, Leng Geri and others led their divisions to withdraw from the Kuandian area. Because the distance was too far, Hu Erhan and others could not know the situation on the Khan's side at the first time, so whether the Ming army had a whole army out of the division during this period, and where the war was going, Hu Erhan and others did not know.

...........

Yizhou City, luckily got rid of the pursuing soldiers, and the deputy head of the homecoming regiment Toefl, who retreated to Yizhou for nine lives, and the captain Gurtowan never expected that the great Great Tomorrow Envoy Wei Gonggong had arrived in Yizhou three days ago.

After listening in detail to Toefl and Guerto's experience of the return to the hometown regiment being surrounded and suppressed by the heavy soldiers of the Jin puppet army, Wei Gonggong sighed with emotion: "The officers and soldiers of the return to the hometown regiment are the bravest soldiers of the Ming Emperor's army, and they are also the most loyal people of the Ming Empire!" ”

"Lord Angel, Commander Fan is under siege of the puppet army of the Jin State, lacking food and clothing, and the officers and soldiers are in extreme danger, please send reinforcements quickly!"

Toefl and Guerto, who had formed a deep fighting friendship in the War of Resistance behind enemy lines for more than a year, cried and asked Wei Gonggong to quickly send troops to rescue Fan Hun.

In essence, the two of them and Fan Hun are grasshoppers tied to a rope, or a rabbit and a fox.

The father-in-law was in a dilemma, at this time he had just crossed the Yalu River, the main force of the coalition army was still on the way, and there were only hundreds of personal guards brought by He Shiyi's department and father-in-law in Yizhou, and a part of the Korean pro-Ming Zhongzheng Division.

The maximum number of reinforcements available is only 3,000, but there are more than 10,000 puppet troops in the Jin State, and there is not much chance of winning if they go north to rescue Fan Hun, and it will directly affect the plan set by the father-in-law to directly smash the Yellow Dragon.

At this time, Ge Saburo, the head of the father-in-law's chamberlain and the person in charge of the chrysanthemum organ, said: "Father-in-law, today is putting people in a dangerous place, and they are in a hurry to abandon them. If you don't save it at this time, Jiannu will use this to declare our imperial army, how can my father-in-law make the Jurchen generals? ”

The father-in-law immediately woke up, and immediately said to Toefl and Gurto: "The loyal and brave soldiers of the empire are only one person here, and the empire should send troops to rescue!" ”

Under the military order, He Shiyi, the general of Yizhou, led 3,000 officers and soldiers from his headquarters, and more than 4,000 Cui Rongshi of the Second Brigade of the Zhongzheng Division of the Ming Dynasty, and more than 7,000 officers and soldiers went north to rescue.

This means that Yizhou has become an empty city, all supported by hundreds of guards led by the father-in-law. It also shows that the father-in-law has a resolute attitude towards the rescue of the officers and soldiers of the returning regiment who fought for the Ming Dynasty.

Toefl and Gurto asked to accompany the army to the rescue, but the father-in-law readily agreed, and awarded the department the title of "Lone Hero".

At the same time, he was awarded the TOEFL "Imperial Army Warrior" medal and was appointed to the post of Kuandian garrison; He was awarded the medal of "Loyal Guard" by Gurto and appointed to the post of Jurchen East Garrison.

The officers and soldiers of the former Returned to the Uiju Regiment were rewarded with TOEFL and Gurto, and 17 were awarded individual gold medals, 38 silver medals, and 95 bronze medals.

The father-in-law used this to inspire the Jurchen officers and soldiers to serve the country and to unite and cohesion.

Before the rescue army and horses were assembled and set off, Gonggong Wei held a meeting of officers of more than 100 households (squadrons) in the city.

During the meeting, the father-in-law said to the soldiers: "Since the Jurchen reactionary aristocratic group started its army with the slave chieftains, they have successively defeated our officers and soldiers, resulting in arrogance.

Therefore, after the soldiers and horses go north, you must be prepared to kill. Kill a group of people ruthlessly, so that the Jurchen reactionary clique will feel fear in the bones of the sword of our imperial army!

Only in this way can the enemy's flame be lowered and the people's morale be greatly expanded. If we are indecisive, tolerate and nurture traitors, do not completely solve the problem of traitors, and fail to completely recover Jianzhou, we will leave the empire and future generations behind! ”

On behalf of Gonggong Wei, Ge Sanlang made a specific summary of the task of sending reinforcements to the north, saying that except for rescuing the trapped Fan Hunbu, the reinforcements must resolutely ensure that no Jurchen exists except for the Jurchens who have been attached.

"The stone is over the knife, the thatch is over the fire, and the thief is replanted!"

Wei Gong said fairly: "Only when the trouble of building slaves is completely eliminated can we consider not killing people." Otherwise, you still have to kill. The best way to destroy the enemy is to destroy them, no matter who they are, as long as they are on the side of the reactionary clique in Jianzhou are our enemies, then they should be ruthlessly eliminated. ”

Later, Katsuzaburo announced that the reinforcements were leaving immediately, and told the generals that they were the vanguard. After the main force of the slave alliance army arrived in Yizhou, Gonggong Wei personally led the main force north to the pseudo-golden capital of Heituala.

Therefore, the task of the reinforcements is not only to rescue, but also to serve as an outpost for the army.

He Shixian asked when the main force would go north, and Ge Saburo told him that it would be as short as seven days and as long as half a month. The reason is that in addition to the successive arrival of the various units of the coalition forces, a large number of weapons and equipment need to be replenished.

"Now it's a Fan Hun, and my father-in-law still sends the army to save it, so why should General He worry?" Ge Saburo saw that He Shixian was worried that his troops would encounter the main force of the Jin army's eastward expedition after going north.

He Shixian was very embarrassed and laughed dryly. After the meeting, he privately asked Father-in-law Wei about the scale of killing.

Wei Gonggong gave him six characters in his handwriting - "Rather kill mistakes than let go".
