Chapter 184: Luring the Enemy
If it weren't for the purpose of luring Nurhachi to send troops, Ye Xun would definitely choose to leave at night, because the road had been blocked by people coming from all directions, not to mention carriages, and even the war horses couldn't move a bit.
"Grandpa Ye, you can't go! You're gone, and the Tartars are coming to plague us again."
"Grandpa Ye, if you want to go, take us all with you! Only by following you will no one dare to bully us"
A call from all directions had moistened Ye Xun's eyes, from the moment he crossed over, he just wanted to use the skills he mastered to do something for the suffering Han people in this era, but he never thought of letting them repay him anything.
But I don't want it to be his selfless actions that unconsciously won the hearts of the soldiers and people of Liaodong, when they were enslaved by aliens, what Ming emperor and Ming officials came to rescue? It was this Ye Gonggong, with his own strength, who saved the building from the general and drove away the Jurchens, so that the people could regain their land and live a stable life.
So for the ordinary people of Liaodong, Ye Xun is their heaven, and the Ming Emperor is not even a fart in their hearts.
Seeing that he couldn't move forward anymore, Ye Xun had no choice but to hug his fists at the people and said: "Folks, you have to believe in the imperial court, you are all Your Majesty's people, and the imperial court will not ignore you, and now Your Majesty has transferred me to Beijing, just to know the specific situation of the villagers in Liaodong."
It's not that he can't say sensational words, but Ye Xun doesn't want to leave a truth, and if he says too much, he won't be able to leave.
"Father-in-law Ye, don't lie to us, when did the imperial court manage us?"
"That's, that's it, Grandpa Ye, you better stay!"
The voice of asking Ye Xun to stay was higher and higher, and Ye Xun had no choice but to move the emperor's order out again.
"Folks, the holy order cannot be violated, and please forgive me."
At this time, Yuan Yingtai rushed up from behind, stood beside Ye Xun and shouted to the people: "This official is Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, and this official hereby assures you that he will definitely ask His Majesty to let Ye Gonggong come back as soon as possible, so don't be embarrassed for Ye Gonggong anymore."
Not to mention, Yuan Yingtai's words really worked, although there were still people begging Ye Xun to stay, but the people gathered in front of Ye Xun had gradually dodged the way.
After Ye Xun apologized again and saluted the people around him, he got into the carriage with a short body, and then the carriage walked forward slowly under the escort of the guards.
There are only the Hua sisters in the carriage, although their least favorite place is the capital, but since Ye Xun can't come back, they naturally have to follow, they have already expressed their attitude to Ye Xun, if Ye Xun doesn't let them follow, they will kill them directly.
Ye Xun left with Kuomur, Ye Xun originally wanted him to serve under Altan, but Kuomur said that he would not say anything, so he almost committed suicide without learning the example of the Hua sisters.
In addition, there are more than 50 guards who refuse to leave, and they will also follow Ye Xun to the capital.
Ye Xun and his entourage of nearly 100 riders gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared at the end of sight.
No one expected that Lord Yuan, who was still speaking for Ye Xun just now, suddenly spat and foamed at the direction where Ye Xun disappeared.
"Phew! Eunuchs, come people, go to the barracks, summon the generals of all armies to come and discuss things"
After Yuan Yingtai finished speaking, he left with his subordinates, and there were still many people around him who had not dispersed, and after hearing Yuan Yingtai's words, these people couldn't help but look at each other, is this guy the official that Gonggong Ye said could protect us?
In fact, in Liaodong officialdom, many people know that Yuan Yingtai and Ye Xun are at odds, otherwise they would not always stay in Liaoyang and refuse to come back.
Those who know the truth know that Ye Xun set aside Yuan Yingtai, so it is not surprising that Yuan Yingtai behaved like this as soon as Ye Xun left.
And this is just the beginning, after arriving at the barracks, Yuan Yingtai's first order was to order Cao Wenzhao, who was stationed in Kuandian, to transfer back the army of the original Liaoyang battalion.
That's not all, soon news came out that Yuan Yingtai seemed to be going to cut the soldiers' salaries, and I heard that the officers who had been removed by Ye Xun would be reinstated.
As soon as the news came out, the armies in Liaodong suddenly made a mess, some people said that Yuan Yingtai was taking revenge on Ye Xun, and even worse, some guards actually fled in large numbers.
Ye Xun's frame has not yet reached the Third Customs, and the armies in Liaodong are already showing signs of mutiny.
All kinds of news flew to Hetuara like wings, and Ye Xun's whereabouts were always under the close monitoring of the Jurchen spies.
The news that Huang Taiji got was that although Ye Xun hid in the carriage most of the time, when it was time to eat, he would still get out of the carriage and eat with the guards.
The Jurchen spies all used eagle letters to deliver news, so when they heard that Ye Xun's frame was about to arrive at the Third Customs, Huang Taiji immediately reported to his father that it was time to send troops.
Huang Taiji has always been a very cautious person, but the Jurchen army has not been defeated for too long, and he thinks that he has analyzed the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers thoroughly, so he is not surprised at all by what happened in the Shenyang camp.
At the same time, Nurhachi couldn't wait, and he desperately needed a victory to stimulate that sensitive nerve.
In order to be able to take the six forts of Kuandian in one battle, Nurhachi sent 20,000 horses, led by Huang Taiji, Daishan, Amin, and Huer Khan.
Yuan Yingtai had already transferred half of Kuandian's men and horses, and now there were only more than 10,000 troops left of Cao Wenzhao.
Now the Jurchen army of 20,000 is attacking the six forts of Kuandian, which can be regarded as a thunderbolt.
Huang Taiji's injury is not completely healed, but in order to compete for merit, he can't take care of it.
The 20,000-strong army did not attack blatantly, but went out of Hetuala, and then stayed overnight, until it was almost close to the six forts of Kuandian, when the banner was suddenly displayed, and the tide generally killed the Ming army station.
Everything was going according to plan, the army attacked at dusk, and Amin, who was rushing to the front, seemed to have seen the Ming soldiers fleeing in panic.
Cao Wenzhao's arrival at the six forts of Kuandian was still short, and many fortifications had not yet been built, so the army could only be stationed behind low earthen walls.
The galloping sound of war horses broke the silence before dusk, but before the Jurchen army could approach, bursts of explosions rang out one after another, but it turned out that the Ming army had planted a lot of mines outside the camp.
Since this place has been occupied, it is normal to lay mines on the periphery, and at this time, the war horses have been specially trained, although the explosion can cause certain casualties, but it cannot stop the Jurchen army from charging.
The Jurchen army was good at horse archery, and while running, countless sharp arrows were also shot at the Ming army camp.
To the surprise of all the Jurchen generals, the Ming army camp was always quiet, and when the smoke of the mines cleared, many sharp-eyed Jurchen soldiers suddenly found that the soldiers in the Ming army camp were all scarecrows.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
Amin reacted, but when 20,000 iron horses galloped, how could they be stopped for a moment? And if it weren't for the purpose of conquering the Ming army camp in one fell swoop, how could 20,000 troops attack at the same time?
Just when Amin came to his senses, the Jurchen vanguard had already rushed into the Ming army camp, and then there was no more
