In the tent, Li Hongyu sat on the upper seat, and Yuan Chonghuan and others were lined up on either side of him.

Behind everyone stood two rows of sturdy swordsmen, one by one with serious expressions, and the atmosphere was sparse, making people feel quite nervous and depressed.

When Huang Taiji entered the tent, Yuan Chonghuan and the others looked at him in unison, while Li Hongyu was slowly sipping a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, without even looking at Huang Taiji.

Of course, Li Hongyu is not the kind of arrogant and arrogant person, the reason why he ignores Huang Taiji is because the contest between the two has started from now on, and he deliberately shows arrogance in front of Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji will not know that he attaches importance to him.

"So young!" After seeing Li Hongyu sitting on the top clearly, Huang Taiji suddenly sighed secretly in his heart, with a look of surprise on his face, he never thought that this person who made Houjin busy would be so young.

"Master Li, this official has come to deliver a letter to you on the orders of Father Khan!" After coming to Li Hongyu's face, Huang Taiji said after arching his hand to Li Hongyu.

Although Li Hongyu can be arrogant to him, Huang Taiji can't lose his etiquette to Li Hongyu, in the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire, and Li Hongyu has defeated Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji as Li Hongyu's subordinate defeated even if he wants to be proud.

"Read!" Li Hongyu blew the hot air coming out of the tea cup in his hand, and slowly said a word in his mouth, and he didn't mean to answer the letter at all.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji had no choice but to take the letter written by Nurhachi to Li Hongyu from an entourage behind him, open it and read it out in public.

The content of the letter is nothing more than the version of the "Seven Hatreds" when Nurhachi rebelled, believing that Houjin's rebellion was a matter of course, and telling the injustice of the bullying of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hongyu was not interested in these contents, and was concentrating on sipping his tea, wanting to see what tricks Nurhachi would play at the end of the letter, and he did not think that Nurhachi was just writing a complaining letter to himself.

“…… God has the virtue of a good life, Ben Khan has mercy on the suffering of the people, so he decided to hunt in front of Shimen Mountain with the university scholars, in order to avoid the military disaster of the people of Jinzhou. I hope that the scholars will make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to injure the people of Jinzhou by mistake! ”

Sure enough, when he reached the back of the letter, the content of the letter changed and he issued a war letter to Li Hongyu.

"Jinzhou?" The generals of the Ming army at the scene immediately looked at each other, and their faces couldn't help showing a look of surprise, no one expected that Nurhachi would threaten Li Hongyu to go down the mountain to fight with the lives of the people of Jinzhou.

There are only more than 1,000 people left in the Jinzhou garrison now, and the rest are people who have fled to Ningyuan, who went to Ningyuan after temporarily staying in the city to avoid the Houjin troops, after all, now the Houjin is acting aggressively, and no one except Li Hongyu can think that Nurhachi chose to retreat in order to consolidate the foundation.

Once Houjin divides his troops to attack Jinzhou City, then those soldiers and civilians in the city will definitely not be able to escape the fate of slaughter, which makes Yuan Chonghuan and others feel anxious in their hearts, they are already at a disadvantage, and they are powerless to save Jinzhou in the face of the aggressive Nurhachi.

Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, slowly blowing the heat in the teacup in front of him, he was also surprised that Nurhachi did this, it stands to reason that Nurhachi came this time just to bluff, there is no need to make so much trouble, just come and write a war letter.

At that time, as long as Li Hongyu does not go down the mountain to meet the battle, then after Lin Dan Khan leads the army to approach, Nurhachi can retreat openly, so why bother to bring the people of Jinzhou to him.

Therefore, Li Hongyu feels that this does not look like Nurhachi's style of acting, and what Nurhachi is doing now is to avoid war rather than provoke.

"Could it be ......" Suddenly, Li Hongyu thought of a possibility, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huang Taiji, you came up with this idea, right?" Subsequently, Li Hongyu looked at Huang Taiji quietly, except for Nurhachi, only Huang Taiji in Houjin could come up with such a "clever plan".

Compared with Nurhachi, the young and vigorous Huang Taiji wants Li Hongyu to suffer more, and hopes to defeat Li Hongyu, so his actions are so radical and he wants to embarrass him.

"Scholar, this officer doesn't understand what you're talking about." When Huang Taiji heard this, he suddenly showed a suspicious look on his face, and he didn't know the meaning of Li Hongyu's words for a while.

"Huang Taiji, it's your idea to use the people of Jinzhou to force this university scholar to fight!" Li Hongyu saw that Huang Taiji didn't react, so he put down the teacup in his hand and said.

Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Hongyu in surprise, with an unbelievable look on his face, he never expected Li Hongyu to know that he was the one who came up with this idea.

Seeing this, a smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, from Huang Taiji's reaction, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and the person who threatened him with the people of Jinzhou was indeed Huang Taiji.

"Scholar, are you scared?"

After all, Huang Taiji was a deep person in the city, and after the initial stunned, he quickly came back to his senses, and he did not answer Li Hongyu's question, but looked at Li Hongyu expressionlessly and asked.

"How can this scholar be afraid of you people who don't know what to do!"

Li Hongyu immediately sneered when he heard this, and said coldly, "This scholar will tell you now, you can clearly tell Nurhachi that this official will fight with him tomorrow at the foot of the mountain, and he will definitely not let him down!" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan and the others were immediately shocked, and looked at Li Hongyu nervously, if they went down the mountain to fight the Houjin army, it was undoubtedly an advantage over the Houjin army with a short attack and a long attack.

The Ming army didn't bring many horses to Shimenshan this time, how could they shake the Houjin, who had Mongolian cavalry, I am afraid that the Mongolian cavalry would break through the formation, which would lead to a massacre.

Moreover, among the 30,000 Ming troops in Shimen Mountain, only the more than 10,000 people who experienced the first battle of Jinzhou had the morale to fight head-on with the Houjin army on the battlefield, and the 20,000 Ming troops in western Liaoxi brought by Yuan Chonghuan may not last long and will be defeated, and then the consequences will be unimaginable.

Huang Taiji looked at Li Hongyu with a stunned expression, he wanted to take Li Hongyu into an army, but he never expected Li Hongyu to agree to go down the mountain to fight the Houjin army so happily, which made him feel surprised.

"Huang Taiji, I heard that you Jurchens are particularly good at archery, do you dare to compare with the scholars of this university?" Seeing Huang Taiji standing there stunned, Li Hongyu asked quietly.

"The university scholar is a literati, but the official has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and the university scholar has to think about it." Huang Taiji came back to his senses when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with a somewhat proud expression.

"Of course, this scholar is certainly no match for archery, but archery here doesn't just refer to bow shooting."

Li Hongyu sneered, he would not compete with Huang Taiji in archery, although his current archery skills are also very powerful, but he is not completely sure of defeating a person like Huang Taiji who has touched the bow since he was a child, so he wants to use another way to give Huang Taiji and even Nurhachi a dismount.

"Come, bring the musket of this scholar." As he spoke, Li Hongyu shouted orders to the guards on the side.

"Muskets?" Huang Taiji understood this time, Li Hongyu wanted to compete with him with a musket.

Both are long-range weapons, and it's fair to compete with each other, after all, when you go on the battlefield, you also kill the enemy as the goal, and the enemy will not care whether you use a bow or a musket.

Yuan Chonghuan and the others were also surprised, they originally had just a simple meeting, but they didn't expect that Li Hongyu suddenly wanted to compete with Huang Taiji on a whim, which was really unexpected by everyone.

Soon after, under the watchful gaze of the crowd, one of the guards brought a musket that Huang Taiji had never seen before and was extremely well-made.

"Huang Taiji, this musket was bought by this official from Hongmaoyi, it is the latest model of Hongmaoyi, this scholar wants to know whether your bow and arrow are powerful, or this musket is superior."

Li Hongyu took the musket and patted the body of the gun, and said to Huang Taiji in a deep voice, this gun is one of the muskets received from Foreman, he prefers muskets to bows and arrows, so he left a few guns around him when he was fine.

"Go, tell those Jurchens outside the door, and say that their four beylors are going to test their archery skills with this scholar, and let him go down the mountain and get a few good bows, so as not to say that this scholar will bully him at that time."

Saying that, Li Hongyu Hongsheng ordered the guards beside him to let Nurhachi prepare the bow and arrow for Huang Taiji to use for the competition, so that the outside world would not say that Li Hongyu was using his hands and feet on the bow and arrow and said that he was not victorious.

The entourage of Huang Taiji waiting outside the door did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent a person down the mountain to get a bow and arrow, Li Hongyu led Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji and others to the back mountain of Shimen Mountain, and hung a copper coin with a thin line on a tree in the back mountain.

"Huang Taiji, let's shoot three times each of us two hundred paces away, and the person who shoots the most copper coins wins, what do you think?" Li Hongyu asked people to measure the distance of two hundred steps from the big tree, and looked at Huang Taiji quietly and asked.

Huang Taiji's face showed a look of surprise, the ancients had clouds, a hundred steps through Yang, which means that a hundred steps away, about a hundred meters or so, can shoot at distant objects, it is already a very powerful archery, and Li Hongyu actually wanted to shoot a small copper coin two hundred steps away, which really shocked him.

Yuan Chonghuan and the others were also secretly surprised, they naturally knew how difficult it was to shoot a copper coin two hundred steps away, could it be that Li Hongyu had this kind of ability, or was he ready to have a "jade burning" with Huang Taiji, no matter what he was.

Obviously, not only Li Hongyu, but Huang Taiji is also difficult to shoot at such a small target from two hundred paces away, if both of them miss three times, it will be a tie, then it will be more powerful against Li Hongyu.

After all, archery is what Huang Taiji is good at, and if the two are tied, it is equivalent to Li Hongyu winning, in fact, if it is someone else's, it may be set at a distance of three hundred steps, anyway, if you can't shoot, you have to find a way not to let Huang Taiji shoot, this is a strategy, it can also be said to be a means.
