(Recommended reading: On the first day of October, the prisoner exchange ceremony between the Ming army and the Houjin army was carried out outside the city of Sancha'erbao, the sky was overcast, the military flag was hunting in the north wind, and the atmosphere was smashed, which made people feel extremely depressed and dull.

The Ming army concentrated more than 30,000 troops and more than 100 artillery pieces of various types in Sancha'er Fort, and Li Hongyu placed the artillery position on a high ground outside the city, and the 30,000 army protected the artillery position in the middle and put up a defensive position.

Nurhachi led 40,000 Eight Banner soldiers to camp five miles away from Sancha'er Fort, although the Ming army was now unable to launch an attack on the Houjin army in the field, but Nurhachi was worried that Li Hongyu would play some tricks, plus more than 10,000 Ming prisoners of war, so for the sake of safety, he led a heavy army to come.

In the morning, at three o'clock, Nurhachi led the army to come to the outside of Sancha'er Fort, the Ming army stationed on the high ground outside the city had been in front of the high ground, and the Houjin army stopped at a mile away from the Ming army, and confronted the Ming army from afar.

Li Hongyu rode a horse, surrounded by everyone and located in the center of the front of the Ming army's array, behind him were Li Zhizhong's Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Chai Shixiu's Shaanxi-Gansu Cavalry and Jintaishi's Yehe Cavalry, which was the most powerful military force in Li Hongyu's hands, and naturally had to be placed in front of the array.

"Your Excellency, there will be a date later." After the Houjin army set up a formation on the opposite side, Huang Taiji, who was located behind Li Hongyu's side, bowed his hand to Li Hongyu and led several of his subordinates to gallop towards the Houjin army.

At the same time, the South Korean side and his party drove out of the camp of the Houjin army and staggered halfway through.

"Lord Governor, the prisoner exchange has been prepared, and you can exchange prisoners with Jiannu." After coming to Li Hongyu, Han Fang pulled the reins of the horse and said loudly after arching his hand to Li Hongyu.

After the inspection of the South Korean side, except for those who expressed their intention to defect to Houjin in front of him, all the soldiers captured by the Ming army in Salhu have been included in the list of prisoners exchanged as long as they are alive.

Because everyone has their own aspirations, Li Hongyu does not force those prisoners of war who have taken refuge in Houjin to return to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they will definitely betray again, what he wants to do is to rescue those prisoners of war who care about the Ming Dynasty.

"Let's get started.

Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, and nodded to Man Gui on the side.

Man Gui immediately waved his hand at the Liaodong Iron Rider behind him, and the Liaodong Iron Rider then flashed to both sides with a hula, forming a passage.

Soon, the Houjin prisoners of war walked out of the passage under the escort of the Ming soldiers, and marched in a mighty queue towards the Houjin camp opposite.

There was also a crowd of people in the Houjun camp, and the Ming prisoners of war lined up towards the Ming camp under the escort of the Houjin soldiers.

"Father Khan, that person is the governor of Liaodong of the Ming army, and he is younger than his sons imagined."

In front of the Houjin army camp, Huang Taiji pointed to Li Hongyu in the distance, and said to Nurhachi in front of him with a serious expression, "He seems to have been aware of the alliance between North Korea and us, and he once tested Erchen, but was perfunctory by Erchen." ”

"North Korea is an important force for the Ming army to contain us, and he will not let North Korea befriend us."

Nurhachi looked at Li Hongyu from afar, frowned, and then said with a sneer, "However, the king of Joseon is a person who understands current affairs, and he will not be an enemy of us for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Father Khan, after the prisoner exchange is completed, the son is willing to rush over with his banner soldiers, and he will definitely capture the governor of Liaodong of the Ming army and present it to his father Khan."

Seeing that Huang Taiji seemed to be quite jealous of Li Hongyu, Mang Gurtai on the side showed a look of disdain, and asked for battle after bowing his hand to Nurhachi, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity to capture Li Hongyu.

Huang Taiji glanced at Mang Gurtai coldly when he heard this, knowing that Mang Gurtai's move was simply looking for death, but he knew that the mountains behind the Ming army camp were full of artillery, not to mention that Li Hongyu still had Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Shaanxi and Gansu Banner Soldiers and Ye He Soldiers who could fight well.

If Mang Gurtai led his Zhenglan Banner to charge head-on, then a round of artillery bombardment would definitely disrupt the banner soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, and then they would not lose their lives when they encountered the elite in the hands of Li Hongyu such as the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

Moreover, the reason why Li Hongyu placed the Ming army outside the city of Sancha'er Fort was that he wanted to fight with the Houjin army in order to consume the strength of the Houjin army.

"If you really go up, I'm afraid Ben Khan will collect your body by then!"

Sure enough, Nurhachi glared at Mang Gurtai when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly, although Mang Gurtai is brave in battle, he does not have much political acumen, and the most important thing for Jin at present is to recuperate, not to merge with the Ming army, so as not to fall into the trap set by Li Hongyu.

Mang Gurtai was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Fei Yingdong beside him hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head at him to signal that he could not contradict Nurhachi, it was obvious that Houjin was not suitable for a large-scale war now, otherwise his weak economy would be in danger of collapse and must recuperate.

Perhaps realizing that his proposal was indeed a bit out of place, so he did not get the support of other Houjin generals, Mang Gurtai could only swallow back the words that came to his lips.

"This person is both civil and martial, he is in a high position in Daming at a young age, and he will be a strong opponent that my Dajin can't bypass, so you must be careful in the future, and you must not be careless!" Nurhachi looked at Li Hongyu in the distance with a solemn expression, and for a long time, he pointed at Li Hongyu and said in a deep voice to the Houjin generals around him.

Nurhachi is not alarmist, but has feelings, he is now more than half a hundred years old and Li Hongyu is in his youth, so he can be consumed to death by consumption alone, he is likely to not be able to cross the threshold of Li Hongyu in his lifetime, only let future generations deal with Li Hongyu, so remind the Houjin generals to be cautious.

Huang Taiji's brows furrowed, and he was deeply convinced of Nurhachi's words, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of the fact that Li Hongyu transferred Ye Hebing and Mongolian soldiers to agree to the battle of Tieling and met him at the family banquet in Jintaishi, he knew that Li Hongyu was a very difficult opponent.

"Humph!" Mang Gurtai snorted coldly, thinking that Nurhachi was a little worried, isn't it that Li Hongyu used Yehebu and the Mongols to fight a victory in Tieling, and if he relied on the Ming army, he would have been defeated by Daishan and Huang Taiji.

There are many Houjin generals who have the same thoughts as Mang Gurtai, after all, Yehebu's troops are limited, and the Mongols cannot always help the Ming Dynasty fight, which means that Li Hongyu will rely on the Ming army to fight with the Houjin in Liaodong in the future, and the battle of Salhu made the Ming army lose face in front of the Houjin army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although Jiannu is fierce in battle, it is not as invincible as the flood beast, there are many factors why our army lost in the battle of Salhu, as long as we wait for the future to unite as one, then the extermination of Jiannu is just around the corner."

In front of the Ming army camp, Li Hongyu looked at the Ming army prisoners of war and the Houjin army prisoners of war who were staggering past him on his left and right sides, and said to the generals around him with a serious expression.

"Unite as one, swear to destroy Jiannu." When the generals heard this, they raised their fists and shouted, and Li Hongyu believed that sooner or later they would be able to destroy the Houjin army.

"Puff up your chest!" Seeing that the captured soldiers of the Ming army were all ragged, yellow-skinned, and listless, Li Hongyu shouted at them, "Remember, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty must be strong at all times, and show the outside world the mighty style of my Ming heroic division!" ”

"The governor has an order, and he will puff up his chest for me." When the Ming prisoners on the march heard this, they suddenly made a commotion, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't react for a while, so Man Gui rode his horse and rushed to the front of the prisoner queue and shouted.

"The governor has an order, keep your chest up!"

The soldiers in charge of escorting the Ming prisoners immediately shouted after the prisoners of war, which made the prisoners of war in the queue with their heads bowed after the commotion, and their expressions were cramped and embarrassed, after all, this was the order of the governor, although they were embarrassed, they still had to follow the order.

"See Lord Governor."

Soon after the Ming captives puffed up their chests, twenty or thirty men in tattered clothes and unkempt hair were led over by a Ming general, more or less wounded, and knelt in front of Li Hongyu, who was captured by the Later Jin Army in the Battle of Sarhu.

"It's good to be back!" Li Hongyu knew from the embarrassed appearance of those generals that they had suffered a lot in Houjin, so he looked at them and said in a deep voice, "The emperor has issued a decree, and the crime of losing the battle of Salhu is improperly commanded by Yang Hao, and you have tried your best to pardon your guilt, I hope you can continue to serve the emperor in the future, protect your family and defend the country, and defend my Ming territory." ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Hearing this, the captured generals kneeling there were stunned at first, and then couldn't help crying bitterly, and touched their heads to the ground, they thought that Emperor Wanli would punish them, but unexpectedly pardoned them.

"Come, take the generals down to rest." Looking at the captured generals who were crying bitterly, Li Hongyu shook his head helplessly and commanded in a deep voice.

A group of soldiers immediately rushed over and took those captured generals down to live and settle them, seeing that Li Rubai and the others were embarrassed, they naturally knew that it was Li Hongyu who interceded with those captured soldiers, otherwise how could the imperial court easily spare these soldiers who did not die on the battlefield?

It was not until the end of the prisoner exchange ceremony that Li Hongyu pulled the reins of his horse and left after witnessing the last Ming prisoner of war entering the Ming camp.

Before leaving, Li Hongyu turned his head and glanced at Nurhachi and the others in front of the Houjin army camp in the distance, and felt some regret in his heart.

Seeing Li Hongyu leading the crowd away, Nurhachi waved his hand and led his Houjin generals to leave, secretly relieved in his heart, it seemed that Li Hongyu didn't want to make any trouble.

With the departure of the commanders of both sides, the Ming army and the Houjin army, which were in a confrontation situation, retreated back in an orderly manner, and the tense and depressing atmosphere on the scene gradually dissipated, and the faces of the soldiers who were nervous and confrontational showed relaxed expressions.

At this moment, the officials of the Houjin Army such as Nurhachi and Huang Taiji will not know that today is their last battle with Li Hongyu, and the Ming soldiers are many generals, how can Li Hongyu, as the new champion of the Daming Dynasty, stay in Liaodong because of the small Houjin?
