Huang Taiji suddenly appeared in Xiping Fort to close the door and catch the thief, but he was one step slower, and when his vanguard surrounded Xiping Fort, the Ming army had all withdrawn back to Dalinghe Fort. According to the use of the houses in the city and various other signs, it can be analyzed that there were many people in the Ming army here, and they gradually began to evacuate about half a month ago, and the last group of evacuations was about two days ago. Now the vanguard is following the footsteps of the Ming army to pursue cautiously, Huang Taiji is sitting in the city to analyze his gains and losses in the past two months, hearing that Amin and Mang Gurtai are outside the city, Huang Taiji called Ao Bai to ask them to come in to explain the situation.

Amin saw that Huang Taiji had a bad premonition in the city, so he didn't dare to say more, but only told about his situation in the past few months, saying that Neqi, who was disguised as a Korean, attacked Phi Island and killed tens of thousands of Ming troops, and then captured Anju and Pyongyang, and was preparing to march to Wangjing, but received an order to go to Gaizhou to encircle Mao Wenlong's department. It's a pity that because of the long distance, when he arrived in Jinzhou, he found that Mao Wenlong had built a city in Jinzhou to defend, and the two armies lost more than 20,000 yuan after nearly half a month of fighting, and Mao Wenlong was even more defeated after Li Yongfang came, and now Mao Wenlong has retreated to Nanguan, Li Yongfang is stationed in Jinzhou, and he pursues here after meeting Mang Gurtai.

Huang Taiji didn't have much interest in Amin's general words, and after a few words of appeasement, he asked Mang Gurtai: "The third brother was deployed in Fushun Pass and Lianshan Pass, Mao Wenlong did not go to Fushun like the year before last, it was the loss of the third brother, and now Mao Wenlong is blocked in Nanguan and can't escape, so you have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future∠ At the end of the month, I received a letter from Daishan Dabeile, saying that there were 50,000 Ming troops who were originally preparing to attack Shenyang and later captured Liaoyang, I don't know if the third brother has chased these Ming troops?" ”

Mang Gurtai said: "The Ming army attacking Liaoyang is the Ming army stationed at Xiping Fort, we saw the Ming army here with our own eyes three days ago, and almost flooded us, not Erbel Amin reminded my subordinates that they had been flooded. ”

When Amin heard Mang Gurtai say this, he secretly complained in his heart, and Huang Taiji glanced at Amin and said softly: "It turns out that you arrived here three days ago, do you know that there were less than 10,000 Ming troops in this city at that time?" ”

Mang Gurtai opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, and said: "We only heard that the army of Dai Shanda Beile had nearly 60,000 people, and asked us to pursue cautiously so as not to fall into an ambush, and then explain that the army suddenly brought water from the Liao River, and we were on the other side of the river at that time, and the river was so big and cold that we did not dare to cross this newly dug river." ”

Since crossing the Daling River from Yizhou to the north in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Huang Taiji has been fighting with Lin Dan Khan's people, and at first they occupied a piece of land to reorganize their forces without knowing each other, and at that time Huang Taiji was analyzing what was going on between the Mongols and the Ming army. Judging from the retreating Nirvana of the Ming army, the real purpose of the Ming army is to lead themselves to this place to fight against the Mongols, although they know that they have been used, they also have to fight with the Mongols.

On the way to pursue the enemy, he suddenly encountered another enemy, and the most likely situation was that he was ambushed, but Huang Taiji found that the Ming army and Lin Dan Khan could not have the idea of annihilating themselves, nor did they have the ability to eat themselves in one bite. After the Ming army withdrew from the Daling River, according to intelligence, most of the Ming army retreated to Ningyuan, and some withdrew from Yizhou, with only 20,000 men covering the retreat alternately. From the mouths of the herdsmen of the Ao Han tribe who escaped, it can be seen that Lin Dan Khan is in a hurry, the number of men and horses is unknown, but it is estimated that there are at most 70,000 or 80,000 people, of which some people have to be divided into people to escort the looted things and people back, and only about 50,000 people can fight.

If Lin Dan Khan was slowly advancing and conquering step by step, Huang Taiji would still believe that Lin Dan Khan had the idea of restoring his old territory, and maybe he really had the intention of uniting with the Ming army to gnaw on himself. However, according to the people of the Ao Han Department, Lin Danhan's men and horses were quickly surrounded and then attacked by lightning, and Huang Taiji immediately judged that Lin Danhan was grabbing a handful and leaving, because no one dared to let tens of thousands of troops just rush and kill quickly regardless of logistics and supplies. Of course, there are brave generals like Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty who only rush to kill and raise their wars, but it will definitely not be Lin Dan Khan, if Lin Dan Khan really has the courage and force like Huo Quai, he will not fall into the fate of betraying his relatives like now.

Thinking of all this, Huang Taiji first asked Ao Bai to lead people to catch up with the Mongols and fight, and then ordered Li Yongfang to abandon Jinzhou and turn around to help Amin eliminate Mao Wenlong. Huang Taiji made this gesture of opening his hands and revealing his chest, just to see if the Ming army would take advantage of the situation, as long as the Ming army really dared to attack Shenyang or flank Amin, he could lead the army back to capture Xipingbao and Youtun and other places, cut off the way for the Ming army to retreat to close the door and catch the thief≈ Dan Khan's side is just to make a show, so that the Ao Han Department and the Naiman Department know their attitude, it is the destiny of heaven to not be able to chase back, as long as they chase it, they will do their best.

Lin Dan Khan's continuous retreat performance shows that he doesn't want to kill, he just wants to grab more things and go home to have an explanation, it used to be the Jurchens robbing the Mongols, and now the Mongols are robbing the Jurchens, and one robbery is two consecutive robberies, which can be regarded as feng shui taking turns.

The performance of the Ming army was somewhat unexpected, and the Ming army, which was constantly retreating and still opening the way, suddenly became tough, but this toughness was not for people but for places. Huang Taiji's people just left Yizhou not long after, the Ming army sent people to cut off the road from the Ao Han Department to Yizhou, and also pulled a lot of migrant workers to start digging pits and walls to build the city, according to the sentry report, the army stepped up the repair of a side wall that was not high but very thick, and dug a very deep and wide soil pit ditch in front of the side wall, and the river water of the Daling River and the Yakniu River poured directly into it, and it was estimated that fish could be raised in summer and ice rowing in winter.

It is because of this pit that Huang Taiji cannot return the same way, and after receiving Dai Shan's letter, Huang Taiji decided not to fight with Lin Dan Khan anymore. It is estimated that the looted things and people have been escorted back to Lin Dan Khan's lair, the livestock items are estimated to have been evenly divided, the man has also found a master, and the woman is also matched with a husband, and it is no longer realistic to want to snatch it back. Fortunately, Lin Dan Khan did not have the intention of entanglement, he was not tired of two consecutive thousand miles of raids, and his subordinates were also tired, seeing that Huang Taiji gave up chasing and killing Lin Dan Khan, and also let some old and injured people come over, all of them were Mongolians, and it was also a point of yin virtue to let go of a way out.

Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan also tried to pass from Yizhou after breaking away from the battle, but when they rushed to the newly repaired side wall, they found that the defending Ming army had increased to more than 30,000, and there were Ming troops on the side wall on both sides of the hillside, with bright armor on the side wall, and there were all kinds of cannons, small cannons, muskets, birds, and guns. Ordered Ao Bai to take 20,000 to Quang Ninh and Xiping Fort on a detour first, and then he led the brigade to follow.

Because of this delay, the people of Ao Bai did not block the Ming army in time and let the Ming army return to Dalinghe Fort. Now Amin and Mang Gurtai themselves admit that they arrived here three days ago, but because they were afraid that the water would not be entangled, they just gave Huang Taiji a mouthful, and by the way, cut off the power of the two eldest brothers.

At the beginning, when Nurhachi died, Dai Shan succeeded to the throne according to his qualifications, but some people said that Dai Shan had an affair with Nurhachi's concubine, that is, Mang Gurtai's biological mother, Fucha, and said that he abused his son, and suddenly made the possibility of Dai Shan's succession zero ♀ rumors Whether it was created by Huang Taiji No one dares to say, but people who are lustful, tyrannical and like to eat grass on the edge of the nest will definitely not be supported by everyone. Dai Shan wisely proposed to let Huang Taiji ascend to the throne, and Huang Taiji was very excited after taking the throne, and vowed on the spot to share wealth and wealth with several eldest brothers to govern the country together.

A momentary passion can not withstand the test of time, things in the world are generally like this, after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he found that every time he accepted the compliments of his subordinates, he was not happy, the reason was that several eldest brothers sat as tall as himself. Accepting compliments and salutations is the pleasure of being an official, and every time I see everyone worshipping, I have a kind of scenery and spirit that the earth is in the world under my feet, but there are people around me who share this scenery and glory, which weakens their fun. The right to enjoy power is exclusive, and on this issue, neither father nor son can do it, let alone brothers? Therefore, after a long time, Huang Taiji wanted to cut off the status of several big brothers.

This time Liaoyang City was broken by the Ming army, and Huang Taiji was ready to go back and put the responsibility on the head of Dai Shan, who stayed behind. How to deal with the two eldest brothers, Amin and Mang Gurtai, Emperor Taiji is making excuses, who knows that now Mang Gurtai will send excuses to his mouth, and Huang Taiji is secretly happy in his heart, just like someone will send a pillow if he wants to sleep.

Huang Taiji heard Mang Gurtai say that they had come three days ago, so he said softly: "It turns out that the two brothers saw the Ming army three days ago, but they didn't cross the river because they were afraid of cold water and cold their feet. You only know that there are nearly 60,000 Ming troops here, but do you know that half a month ago, 20,000 Ming troops withdrew to the newly built border wall in front of Yiju? Do you know that three days ago you were scared away by the Ming army, which was less than 10,000 people? ”

Mang Gurtai heard that there was a thorn in Huang Taiji's words, and said in a deep voice: "How can we know so much if we are not immortals?" What evidence do you have that we are not warriors? ”

Amin knew Huang Taiji's thoughts, coughed lightly and then folded his eyes at Mang Gurtai, who did not continue to say more rude words. Huang Taiji chuckled and said: "It seems that the third brother is still not convinced, so let's do it, Ao Bai went to visit the Ming army and is now in Dalinghe Fort, if you think I am wrong, lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack now." I won't let you go alone, Ao Bai and Amin will go with you, and I will personally make amends to you after laying down the Daling River, what do you think? ”
