Starting from Yiju, along the Daling River to the northwest for about sixty miles, the river is about to turn to the southwest, before the turn of the terrain is open and the road is flat, after the turn immediately becomes narrow, Zu Dashou is on the west slope of the fierce battle. He didn't have to engage in an ambush, his purpose in this ambush was to not allow the Jurchens to chase them down, and retreating here was the bottom line of the Ming army. To the east were the armies of Dolgon and Aobai, and if they went further, there would be an ambush, waiting for the order of the Emperor Taiji, whether to pursue or garrison or retreat.

At this time, some people rushed over from the north with people and livestock, and there was only one kind of people, that is, the Mongols ♀, some of the Mongols were not the Mongols brought by Lin Dan Khan to find trouble, but the people of the Ao Han and Naiman tribes who had already submitted to Huang Taiji, and they dragged their families and horses across the river because they had no way out to come to Yiju to ask for help. I saw the shouts of men and the screams of women, and the neighing of the horses, especially the bleating of the sheep, which seemed to never know tiredness.

Dolgon did not know that the Mongols were fleeing until he heard the report from the soldiers who had gone to inquire about it, and one of them ordered the Mongols to go along the eastern hill and not to mix with the army, and at the same time sent a fast horse back to report to the emperor. After inquiring clearly, Dolgon learned that Lin Dan Khan had killed a horse gun and was leading his men and horses to plunder people and livestock, and these people who escaped were the people who heard the news and ran fast, and of course, they were also the people who wanted to completely draw a line with Lin Dan Khan. It is said that there are still many people who don't know the news or know that they are slow and are blocked in the mountain by Lin Dan Khan's people, if there is no action here, it is estimated that a lot of people and horses of the two departments will be snatched away.

Eating the road to save people is like fighting a fire, and Dolgon didn't have time to report to Huang Taiji at this time, so he told those Mongols to get out of the way, and followed the flow of fleeing people with Aobai and the people and horses in the opposite direction. It was dark not long after crossing the river, and Dorgon had his soldiers light torches and go straight north, for he had heard that Lindan Khan's men were coming from the north. More than 10,000 people accelerated their progress while directing the Mongols they encountered to go south, and soon after entering the north, they saw a sky-high fire in a mountain pass in front of them, and heard shouts and cries from afar, and it seemed that they had met the main master.

Dolgon led the men in front, and from afar he saw a large crowd of Mongol soldiers driving women and children like cattle, and many people lying on the ground, probably shepherds who did not want to be driven away. Maybe the other party also saw the army on this side, and after a few sharp shouts, the other party began to line up and be on guard, and then rushed over brandishing knives, and the soldiers on both sides immediately mixed together. It stands to reason that the number of the other side is not as large as that of Dolgon, and it should be right to retreat when the situation is not good, who knows that these Mongols are like not afraid of death, regardless of the dead and wounded, they repeatedly rush to kill, and Dolgon and Aobai are a little in a hurry.

It didn't take long for Dorgon to know why the other party had not retreated, and only heard the rumbling of hooves coming from the ground, which turned out to be to hold him back and wait for backup, and at the same time to let the captives and cattle go farther. Although Dolgon is young, he also knows that he can't suffer the loss in front of him, and he knows that there are no less than 30,000 people coming by listening to the sound of hooves, and it is not cost-effective to fight with more than 30,000 people with more than 10,000 people.

Fortunately, after Lin Dan Khan's people saw that the Jurchens had retreated to a dangerous place, they did not continue to pursue and kill them all, and after finding that with the protection of the Jurchens, it was no longer realistic to pursue the fleeing Naiman Mongols, so they slowly retreated and headed north. Seeing that it was getting late, Dolgon was afraid of the ambush and ordered to camp on the spot, preparing to pursue the Mongols at dawn tomorrow, thousands of bulging livestock can not be counted like this, even if the livestock can't be snatched back, the people must be snatched back, these people are Nurhachi and Huang Taiji father and son have been brought together for many years, but they can't be snatched back by Lin Dan Khan so easily.

Fighting for land with the Ming army and fighting for people with the Mongols is the principle summed up by the Jurchens, if they don't fight for land with the Ming army, the Ming army will build a castle and live without leaving, and if there are conditions, they will build some side walls. The territory of the Mongols is too big, and it is not interesting to fight for land, so it is necessary to fight for people to weaken the strength of the other party and increase a few allies at the same time, because of this consideration, Huang Taiji is also anxious and ready to take it back in person. Hearing that Lin Dan Khan killed a horse gun and quietly came back to rob people and things, Huang Taiji immediately realized that it was a mistake for him to be pinned down here by the Ming army, but after thinking about it, it was also a coincidence, if the Ming army led itself to southern Liaoning, then it would not have discovered the Mongol conspiracy so quickly.

If it was the Ming army who took people captive, Huang Taiji was not very, one side was a plant-eater and the other was used to eating animals, even if they were reluctant to be together, they could find a way to separate ♀ them, and it would be different for Lin Dan Khan to take people away, but the patriarchs of the Han and Naiman tribes had contradictions with Lin Dan Khan, and the clansmen of the Han and Naiman tribes had no hatred with Lin Dan Khan. Only Lin Dan Khan brought people back to give him some food and drink, and then divided some livestock and livestock farms to form a family, these people will definitely become loyal to Lin Dan Khan's subordinates, this is the so-called blood is thicker than water, thinking of this, Huang Taiji can't care so much and immediately send people to stop it.

After the rebellion of the Han Department and the Naiman Department, they have been living on the eastern grassland, and later saw Lin Dan Khan retreat west and miss their homeland, so they slowly moved back, two months ago, Lin Dan Khan just came over and robbed once, but the loss was not very large, the heart was just robbed and should not come again, who knows that Lin Dan Khan killed a horse gun a month ago, Lin Dan Khan along the Xilamulun River all the way to grab the ball is a handball, this time it is after foresight to uproot the two.

Lin Dan Khan guessed that the Ming army was unprofitable and could not afford to be early, otherwise he would not sacrifice the lives of the soldiers to contain Huang Taiji, and he would die for the benefit of others, except for fools in this world, only people with other plans would do this, and his own brothers probably would not do this. He came to the Xilamulun River five days in advance, and while delivering information to the Ming army, he was ready to eat alone, because he heard Wang Huazhen say that the Mongols would go by themselves if they did not go to the Ming army in the Chinese New Year's Eve. In Lin Dan Khan's understanding, whether it is the Han Department or the Naiman Department, and whether they still have their own Great Khan in their hearts, the livestock children of these two departments belong to him.

Lin Dan Khan did this a bit unauthentically, it is said that the two families jointly dealt with the Jurchens, and they should share the spoils together, which means that these stolen bulging livestock should meet and share half. But Lin Dan Khan didn't see it that way, he thought that the people and livestock of these two parts were originally his own, and now they took refuge in the Jurchens just for a while, and when they sobered up, they would naturally return to their own arms, since it was their own things, how could they divide it? In order to prevent the Ming army from reaping the benefits, Lin Dan Khan started a day early, and his troops divided into two routes, one to the east and then from the north to the south, and the other to the south and then to the east.

Of course, Lin Dan Khan is not an unreasonable person, he asked the Ming army to guard the Daling River to avoid the Mongols escaping, and after he took these misguided subordinates and their families back, he will choose a way to repay the Ming army's efforts≈ Dan Khan said that the Ming army will first contain the Mongols to reap the benefits, and after robbing people and livestock, he is not in a hurry to go, but also restrain Huang Taiji's team for a period of time, so that the Ming army has time to recover the homeland, so that it can be regarded as an equivalent exchange of close cooperation.

I'm waiting for your words! The Ming army was thinking about giving Lin Dan Khan some benefits first, and then pretending not to know and luring Huang Taiji over to let them fight, the Ming army could just take the opportunity to regain the lost territory ♀, and the idea could be known by themselves but could not be said, but Lin Dan Khan said that the Ming Dynasty was a little embarrassed, so he had to say that he completely agreed with Lin Dan Khan's words, but it was best to drag the Jurchens and drag him for a month or two, and he couldn't run over the mountains and mountains without learning the same as last time.

The Ming army here is to abide by the agreement and order Zu Dashou's people to stick to the Daling River to stop the Mongols who are trying to cross the river, these people would rather run away than go with Lin Dan Khan, indicating that these people can't support their families and don't have to take them in≈ Dan Khan didn't know why the Jurchens came so fast, he originally said that trying his best to contain it was just a smooth favor, thinking that Huang Taiji had just gone back to fight with the Ming army, even if he wanted to get out and go north, it would take more than half a month, and it would be enough to wait for Huang Taiji to come and pretend to fight two games. Who knew that now that he had just met the Jurchen soldiers as soon as he closed the siege, it seemed that he would not be able to keep the fruits of victory without a few vicious fights.

Not to mention that Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan began to fight for population and livestock, and the people on the grassland fought and cut down and killed in the past, which is not good-looking, just that there is a fierce debate in the military affairs of Beijing City now, and the focus of the debate is what to do when taking this opportunity.

There are now a large number of people in the Military Affairs Yuan, in addition to the people from the Military Aircraft Department who were originally in Beijing, there are also Xiong Tingbi, Ni Yuanlu and others who have just returned to Beijing, and they are all looking at the apocalypse who is also very excited with emotion. Everyone knew that they had worked hard to finally bring together the two enemies of the Jurchens and the Mongols, who had escaped from the battle, and they also knew that it was impossible for the two sides to give up easily for the sake of huge interests, and they also knew that the strength of the two sides was almost difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, but they did not know how to use this opportunity to reap the greatest benefits.

Now Lin Dan Khan's 100,000 people are sending back the captured people and livestock, while fighting and retreating, Huang Taiji and the later Dolgon add up to 80,000 people, Jinzhou and 20,000, the two sides are evenly matched, and the victory and defeat can not be separated in a short time. If the plan is small, I'm sorry for such a good opportunity, but if the plan is too big and I'm afraid that it will break my belly when the time comes, it's a dilemma. Some said that it was okay to take the opportunity to take Jinzhou and Yizhou, and some said that the main thing should be to eliminate the other party's people, and that they should go to Jinzhou to eliminate Amin's blue flag troops with Mao Wenlong, and it is difficult to become the mainstream opinion whether they occupy land or kill people.

Seeing that everyone was arguing for a while and did not speak, Tianqi looked around and looked at Ni Yuanlu, and he asked, "Lord Ni, is tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner delicious?" ”

Ni Yuanlu replied: "Back to the emperor, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is very delicious, and the things sent by the palace are indeed much better than those in the courtier's house." ”

Tianqi said: "I remember telling you that if you don't take Jinzhou, you won't go home, have you taken Jinzhou?" ”

Ni Yuanlu, Zhang Xiangan, Chen Qiyu and others were all shocked when they heard this, Ni Yuanlu said: "Didn't the emperor say that taking Yizhou also counts?" ”

Apocalypse asked coldly, "Whose hands is Yizhou in now?" ”

Ni Yuanlu quieted down and said: "The minister understands, fortunately, the minister will come to the Military Affairs Yuan as soon as he returns to Beijing, and he has not returned home, which is not considered to be a protest." The ministers went to organize people to recapture Uiju overnight, but they didn't know which troops to use? ”

Tianqi said: "You don't have to go overnight to go tomorrow morning, you can ask your family to send the cover to the Military Affairs Yuan, you will live here tonight, the three of you can also discuss how to recapture Yizhou∞ or that sentence Jinzhou and Yizhou are okay, as long as you take one, no one will transfer people from Yuan Chonghuan first, he wants to go to the front line for a day or two, just give him this opportunity." ”
