Section 2: Treason

That night, Li Yongfang's mansion in Fushun City.

Nurhachi sat in the hall and convened a meeting to discuss the next steps. Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and other Eight Banner Banners, Baylor, and Taiji were all in the column, and everyone sat in a room. The first battle of the Ming Dynasty was successful, not only the general army of Liaodong of the Ming Kingdom, as well as dozens of generals such as deputy generals, garrisons, guerrilla generals, and thousands of generals, and more than 10,000 enemies, but also took Fushun City in one fell swoop, and the Jiannu generals sitting there were all extremely excited.

Li Yongfang, who surrendered to the Tartars, was also called to participate in the deliberations, and at this time he was nervously sitting on the chair at the door, sitting straight with his waist, half of his buttocks hanging in the air and not daring to sit down.

"Adjutant General Li." Nurhachi discussed with Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and others for a while, and shouted to Li Yongfang.

Li Yongfang was excited, and hurriedly got up and responded: "The minister is here." ”

Nurhachi said: "You can also tell me, how should our army act next?" ”

Li Yongfang thought about it for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "The Great Khan thinks so highly of me, and he has just returned to allow me to participate in the major affairs of the military aircraft, I must show some insight!" Don't let these nobles look down on me. ”

So he said: "Great Khan, all the banner masters, Beile, Taiji, the last general thinks that the only combatable troops in Liaodong are Liu Ling's troops in Liaoyang, although Liu Ling's troops are elite, but the number is small, and their troops have more than enough to keep themselves, so the threat is not very big; And Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, was wiped out in the Battle of Fushun Pass, and now he is alone, and he doesn't have to pay attention to it anymore. Therefore, my Dajin Iron Cavalry should take this opportunity to divide troops to sweep the front line of Fushun and Qinghe, and push the battle line to the north of Shenyang before the Ming reinforcements arrive. ”

Dai Shan nodded and did not speak. Huang Taiji glanced at Li Yongfang and thought: "This Li Yongfang also has some knowledge, but his bones are a little softer." ”

Azig glanced at Li Yongfang with great disdain, and scolded in a small voice: "Boneless offal." The surrounding Baylor and Taiji suddenly burst into laughter.

Li Yongfang didn't seem to hear it, his face didn't change and his heart didn't beat, and he still stood there respectfully.

"Be quiet, don't say anything unbounded. What Vice Admiral Li said is quite agreeable, can Vice General Li have specific statements? ”

"Yes! Great Khan, after these few days of battle, our Dajin Iron Cavalry first destroyed the Liaodong General Army Zhang Chengyin's department, and then raided Fushun City, which has annihilated most of the battleable troops in Liaodong. Nowadays, Liaodong no longer has the strength to resist the Dajin Iron Cavalry. Our division can first clean the forts around Fushun, and then capture the Qinghe River, forming a flank attack on Shenyang from the north and south. If the Ming army did not arrive at that time, our army could point to Shenyang. ”

Nurhachi thought for a while and said: "That Liu Ling is a fierce general, and his generals are all fierce generals who fought with him in the south and the north; In addition, I heard that his grandson Liu Yunwei is known as a Qilin Tiger and is also a fierce general, what if Liu Ling comes to attack? ”

Li Yongfang thought for a moment and said: "Qiyu Great Khan, it has been less than a day since my Dajin Wangshi captured Fushun City, and the minister expected that neither Li Weihan nor Liu Ling should have received the news, and His Majesty can send someone to send a letter to Liu Ling for help。。。。。。 ”

"You mean to encircle the point and send reinforcements?"

"Exactly."

"Well, you can give it a try."

Nurhachi thought for a moment and said, "Big Belle, you can arrange this matter." If Liu Ling's troops come to attack, they must be annihilated, and no matter how bad they are, they will be hit hard! ”

Dai Shan said: "The son obeys the order! ”

"Second Beyler, Third Beyler, Fourth Beyler, Azigtaiji, each of you will lead your own banner troops and horses to attack the surrounding castles in Fushun. All the castles were destroyed, and all the people, money and food were sent back to Hetulala. ”

"The retainer (minion) obeys the order!"

In the evening of the next day, the Liaoyang General Military Office.

Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, received a letter from Fushun asking for help, and the news in the letter was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Li Weihan's eyes pop with gold stars, and he almost didn't come up in one breath: Zhang Chengyin, the general soldier of Liaodong, was killed, his troops were gone, and Fushun City was surrounded by the Jiannu Army and was in danger. The disaster of Jiannu weighed down Li Weihan like a mountain, and after receiving Fushun's request for help, he hurriedly ran to Liu Ling's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, Liu Ling and Liaodong Governor Li Weihan sat speechless.

After a while, Liu Ling said, "Master Li, how credible do you think this letter for help is?" ”

Li Weihan said: "It is indeed a general of Fushun City who came to ask for help, and I have seen this person in Li's guerrilla battalion, which is true. However, with these few people, they can kill from the thousands of troops and horses besieging Jiannu, and they can still run to Liaoyang to deliver a message? The old man was a little puzzled, what was the general of Fushun City like, the old man knew very well, if there was such a brave general, where would he need to ask for help? He repelled Jiannu. ”

"Master Li's high opinion." Liu Ling said: "Now that Fushun has fallen, this is the news that my subordinates have sent back. ”

As he spoke, Liu Ling handed another letter to Li Weihan.

Li Weihan was almost on the verge of crying after reading the letter, and asked, "Damn Li Yongfang!" The dynasty treated him well, and he actually surrendered to slavery! Now that Fushun City has been lost, how can it be good?! If we lose our teachers and lose our land, we will all lose our heads! ”

Liu Ling glanced at Li Weihan unhappily, and said coldly: "The guilt of losing the division and land seems to have nothing to do with me, the deputy commander-in-chief, right?" According to the imperial court system, you, Lord Li, are the governor of Liaodong, and Mr. Zhang and I will be at your disposal during the war. After losing the battle and losing the city, the court has to ask you Lord Li for guilt! ”

"This, this, General Liu, don't get me wrong, the old man is not shirking responsibility. It's just that this Fushun City, should we save it or not? ”

Liu Ling snorted and said: "Let my grandson Liu Yunwei go, we can't send troops, otherwise we will sit back and watch the friendly army fall, and those people in the Yushitai in the capital will not care if this letter is true or not!" In addition, I also want to try how many catties and taels Jiannu has, it is best to him, extinguish Jiannu's spirit, and use the bravery of my family's Qilin Huzi to come and go freely even if the war is lost! ”

"No! That's your only grandson, old general! ”

"When the national disaster is at the head, kill Hu Weiguo, and the descendants of my Liu family will not let it go!"

After Liu Yunwei received Liu Ling's general order to reinforce Fushun City, he immediately summoned Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wen Poyu and others to discuss the matter, and everyone passed a copy of Fushuncheng's letter asking for help, as well as Liu Ling's general order.

"Big brother, fuck it, let's go to Fushun City and fuck him well!" Zhao Kaishan shouted.

"Big brother, let's be cautious, the construction of slaves is powerful, we must surprise the army." Li Tianhao said.

"Humph!" Liu Yunwei said coldly: "The Tartars are still not satisfied with taking Fushun City, and they still want to come to earn us, wishful thinking!" ”

Lu Ying said: "Jiannu's plan is nothing more than to surround and send reinforcements. From Liaoyang to Fushun, almost all of them are Pingchuan, and there are many Jiannu cavalry, they can raid us anywhere. ”

"Wu Xing, has your Mo knife been polished?"

"Okay, but we have to find a way to get Jiannu to bump into it on his own. During the Han and Tang dynasties, whether it was a Mo knife formation or a long knife for cutting horses, there were cavalry cooperation. The cavalry assaulted, and the long knife advanced, so that the eyes could be seen. ”

"How's the cavalry training?"

"Big brother, Mr. Wu's brothers have long been hungry and thirsty, and they will definitely not fall behind against the same number of Jiannu."

Liu Yunwei thought for a while, pointed to the map on the table and said, "Look, this is Liaoyang, and Fushun City is in the northeast of Liaoyangβ€”here. ”

Everyone gathered around and listened to Liu Yunwei say: "Let's go north from Liaoyang, through the line of Hupiyi, Fengji Fort, Magendan Fort, and Dongzhou Fort, and enter Fushun City." Along the way, relying on the castle, carrying grain, grass and baggage, as well as Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots on the way, the night of the broken captives must be scattered twenty miles away to prevent the surprise attack of the Jiannu cavalry. In this way, Jiannu had no other way but to confront our army head-on. ”

"Good!" Everyone agreed.

Liu Yunwei continued: "Brothers, even if Fushun City has fallen, we have to go through it, test the reality of Jiannu, and it is best to beat him." Otherwise, if Jiannu is too rampant, Liaodong may not be able to support the arrival of imperial reinforcements. ”

Lu Ying said: "Big brother is right, if Jiannu feels that there is no longer any threat from Liaodong, what will they do?" Tens of thousands of Jiannu armies will sweep southward and erode the entire Liaodong! ”

Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, and Li Tianhao all nodded solemnly.

"Pass the order, the whole army will have dinner at the beginning of the hour, rest at three hours, and set off at two hours." Liu Yunwei said.

"Order!" Everyone prepared for the expedition overnight.

The soldiers of the Hanwei battalion were originally either exiles who were ruined by Jiannu, or veterans who participated in the battle of Changning Fort, and the rest of the people also had more or less enmity with Jiannu.

Liu Yunwei was overjoyed when he saw that the army's heart was available, and ordered the Huotou army to kill pigs and sheep to reward the soldiers.

While eating, Wen Poyu handed a letter to Liu Yunwei: "Big brother, this is a letter from your sister-in-law." ”

It turned out that after Xu Wanxin learned that Liu Yunwei was going to go on the expedition the next day, she was very worried and wanted to write a letter to her husband, but she was afraid that it would affect Liu Yunwei. After thinking about it, he wrote a poem and sent it to the family:

"The sunset on the long river is in Liaodong County, and the tomb of the general on the iron horse and the border.

Punish the Tartar and the heavens, and immediately spear the soul of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The concubine has prepared a good wine, and on the day of her husband's triumph, the concubine should be drunk with you! ”

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion north to Fushun City.
