(Recommended reading: "I heard that it is the new champion of the Ming Dynasty, the red man in front of the Ming Emperor, who was rewarded by the emperor with a sword to behead the officials below the general army, and kicked out the original Liaodong Jingluo as soon as he came."

Hearing this, Aqige nodded solemnly to Du Du, and then spoke, "I heard that the new governor of Liaodong has issued an order to transfer the Ming troops from Liaoyang and Guangning to Yaque Pass. ”

"How do you know?" Du Du's face showed a look of surprise, this was important military information, so he asked vigilantly.

"Back to the banner master, this matter is already known to everyone in the Ming Army of Yaque Pass, and they are heard by lowly officials when they usually talk about it, and they don't know that the minister also understands the Ming language of Liaodong." Azig knew that Du Du was suspicious of the source of his news, so he said seriously, how did he know that this was the news that Li Hongyu deliberately leaked.

From those prisoners of the Later Jin Army, Li Hongyu already knew that Aqige knew Liaodong dialect, after all, the Jurchens often dealt with Han people on the territory of Liaodong, and many of them were proficient in each other's languages.

Therefore, he took the plan into account, so he leaked the news of the transfer to Akig and told Nurhachi through his mouth.

"Go, follow me to the Great Khan." Seeing that Achig didn't look like he was lying, Dudu frowned and stood up, ready to tell Nurhachi such important information and ask Nurhachi to decide.

Hetuala, Inner City, Khan's Palace.

Nurhachi, who was already in his sixtieth year, stood in front of the wall, staring intently at a map of Liaodong hanging on the wall, which was the spoils he had collected from the Ming army.

"Great Khan, the Lord of the White Flag is here." Soon after, a maid came in to report.

"Oh?" Nurhachi was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't seem to summon Dudu, and then let Dudu in.

"Great Khan, the new governor of Liaodong came to the Ming Dynasty, I heard that it was the new champion of the Ming Dynasty, although he was young, but the red man in front of the emperor, not only kicked away the former commander of the Ming army, Yang Hao, as soon as he came, but also personally went to Yaque Pass, commanding the Li family's iron cavalry to destroy the soldiers and horses we left in Yaque Pass to monitor.

”

After Du Du entered the door, he bowed to Nurhachi and said with an expressionless face, "Great Khan, according to the report of the staff who was released, the new governor of Liaodong has transferred the Ming army from Liaoyang and Guangning to Yaque Pass, and the Great Khan has to guard against it!" ”

"What?" Nurhachi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the Ming court to send a new governor of Liaodong so quickly, and he was also the new champion of the Ming Dynasty, which was really unexpected by him, didn't Emperor Wanli know that it was undoubtedly a disaster to let a hairy boy who was not familiar with military affairs to lead the army?

However, this was good news for Hou Jin, and if the Ming army was not properly commanded, he could seize the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Ming army.

With his overwhelming victory in the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi suddenly discovered that the Ming in front of him, which looked like a behemoth in his eyes, was actually fragile, like a seemingly strong tree that had been hollowed out by insects inside, and could be toppled or even uprooted with enough force.

Many years ago, when Li Chengliang led his Liaodong Iron Cavalry to easily sweep the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, when Nurhachi was still a slave under Li Chengliang, Nurhachi could never have imagined that he would one day defeat the powerful Ming army, and it would be a great victory.

When the news that the Ming Dynasty mobilized a large army to prepare to attack the Houjin came, the Houjin was panicked, and the nobles of the Houjin decided to use the tactics of strong walls and clear fields to drag down the Ming army between the white mountains and black waters, which seemed to be the safest way at that time.

However, Nurhachi did the opposite, decided to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, formulated a strategy of concentrating superior forces to attack the Ming army all the way, and unexpectedly defeated the advancing Ming army, which can be described as the most glorious battle in Nurhachi's life.

"Great Khan, the new governor of Liaodong is acting rampantly, he cut off the braids of those brothers with white flags who died in battle, and let people send them to you, and he also threatened to attack Hetuala."

Du Du saw that Nurhachi's face looked a little complicated, so he added in a deep voice, "Dahan, this person is so happy, maybe he will send an army to attack Hetuala. ”

"Hmph, how about Yang Hao's four-way attack on Naiben Khan, and Ben Khan will be afraid of him as a fledgling boy?"

Nurhachi sneered when he heard this, to be honest, he really didn't think much of Li Hongyu, the new governor of Liaodong, how could a new champion who only knew how hard to study in the cold window get powerful? Can it be more difficult to deal with than experienced veterans like Yang Hao?

"Great Khan, now that Hetuala's troops are empty, we have to guard against it.

Seeing that Nurhachi didn't take Li Hongyu seriously, Du Du said with some worry after a deep sigh.

Nurhachi had just won a war that was considered impossible to succeed before the war, so he naturally had the qualifications to despise Li Hongyu, a hairy boy, but the key was that Nurhachi transferred his troops to the front line to monitor the Ming army, and Hetuara did not have many troops, and it was difficult to respond to the Ming army's attack.

"Hmm!" Nurhachi frowned when he heard this, and finally nodded slowly, affirming Du Du's concern.

If you change to an old and serious person to lead the army, then you will definitely not dare to attack Hetuala when the Ming army is defeated, but as the saying goes, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and Li Hongyu is young and vigorous, and if he is not sure, he will urge the army to sneak attack Hetuala, and the situation will be serious at that time.

"Order, let the spies do their best to monitor and monitor the movements of the Ming army, especially the Ming army in Yaque Pass, and the movements of the new governor of Liaodong of the Ming army." After pondering for a while, Nurhachi called out to one of the guards and commanded in a deep voice.

Nurhachi had many spies in Liaodong, including Jurchens, Mongols and Han Chinese, who provided him with a lot of important information.

For example, before the Battle of Salhu, Yang Hao swore to sacrifice to the sky, but Nurhachi soon knew about it, and before that, he had already heard the plan of the Ming army's four-way attack, and then calmly dealt with it.

It has to be said that the Ming army did not do a good job in secrecy because it had already won the battle before the Battle of Sarhu, so that Nurhachi obtained a lot of military information that should not have been leaked, while the Ming army knew nothing about the movements of the Houjin army.

"You lead the soldiers of your headquarters to monitor the movements of the Ming army in Yaque Pass." After the guard left, Nurhachi had Aqige called for careful interrogation, and then ordered Du Du in a deep voice, "If the Ming army goes to war, don't entangle with him, and retreat quickly."

”

"Don't worry, the Great Khan understands." Hearing this, Du Du bowed to Nurhachi and led Aqig away quickly, he still had ten Niu Lu's soldiers in his hand, and it was enough to monitor alone.

"What the hell does this hairy boy think, does he really want to fight?" Nurhachi walked up to the map hanging on the wall, frowning and looking at the crow pass above, he was not in the mood to entangle with Li Hongyu now.

As Li Hongyu had predicted, Nurhachi's goal was the northeastern Liaoning region, with Yehebu, Kaiyuan, and Tieling as the next targets of conquest, preparing to take advantage of this great victory to sweep away Houjin's worries.

Therefore, Nurhachi didn't want to fight with Li Hongyu in Yaque Pass, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he can't miss this God-given opportunity, and it will be difficult to capture these three places after the Ming army's reinforcements arrive.

When Nurhachi was looking at the map, Li Hongyu was also looking at the map, and like Nurhachi, Li Hongyu was also looking at Kaiyuan, Tieling and Yehebu.

Li Hongyu's eyes fell on Kaiyuan, Kaiyuan is adjacent to Jianzhou in the east, Mongolia in the west, and Yehe in the north, which can be described as a lonely corner, not only an important place for economic and cultural exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia and the Jurchens, but also the frontier fortress of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong against the Mongols and Jurchens advancing southward.

Although he knew Nurhachi's next move, Li Hongyu now seemed a little powerless, the new defeat of the Ming army in Liaodong led to a lack of troops, and the only thing that could be done was the 20,000 Ming army under Li Rubai.

The army brought by Guan Bingzhong and Li Guangrong belonged to the second-line troops in Liaodong, which was a grade worse than the Ming army that attacked from four directions such as Li Rubai and Ma Lin.

In addition, the Ming army in Liaodong came from the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and thirteen provinces, not only had a very serious regional concept, and they disagreed with each other, but also had different combat methods and habits.

Don't look at Yang Hao is Liaodong Economic Strategy, but he can't effectively mobilize the troops below, Jun Song and others were reluctant to send troops in winter and spring, and wanted to wait until the weather warmed up.

In addition, the generals restrain each other and the internal fighting is severe, which will inevitably cause the phenomenon of poor military orders when fighting, which can be quite fatal.

What particularly made Li Hongyu feel unbelievable was that there would be a shortage of materials for the Ming army, not only the food reserves were insufficient, but also the cotton clothes were not enough.

Li Hongyu knew that the imperial court took out a lot of silver taels as military expenses, and did not hesitate to increase Liao's salary, it stands to reason that the supply of Liaodong should be satisfied, although the imperial court is short of money, but the existing money can fully meet the military needs of the Liaodong war, so there must be a cat in it, I don't know how many people have fished in oil.

As for the issue of weapons, Li Hongyu is also quite speechless, since the three major expeditions of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty seems to have never changed weapons, the blade can be sharpened again if it is blunt, but the durability cannot be restored, and it will obviously be unfavorable to the Ming army when fighting.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has no money, and the household department will definitely not think about it, and the Wanli Emperor's internal money has long been stared at by the courtiers and wants to use the internal money, so the Wanli Emperor's internal capital does not have this spare money, and the matter of weapon replacement can only be delayed in this way.

In fact, Li Hongyu is not worried about supplies and weapons, and now that the Ming army in Liaodong is defeated, the imperial court will definitely distribute food, clothing and other items in full, and will also build new weapons, after all, no one wants to be charged with sabotaging military supplies in the case of the defeat of Liaodong.

Although it is somewhat difficult to reorganize the various units in Liaodong, as long as there is enough time, Li Hongyu believes that this task can still be accomplished well.

It's a pity that what Li Hongyu lacks now is time, once Nurhachi finishes recuperating, he will definitely take advantage of the time when the Ming army has no time to take care of Kaiyuan, so that Yehebu will really cut off contact with the Ming army.

Therefore, although Li Hongyu had expected that Kaiyuan City would fail, there was no good way, because Nurhachi was bound to win it.

What he could do now was to protect the people of Kaiyuan and Tieling from retreating to the territory of the Ming army, so as not to slaughter them, and at the same time, to prevent the Later Jin army from taking the opportunity to absorb the people in the city to expand their power.

"Yehe!"

Looking at the map, Li Hongyu's gaze fell on the Jurchen Yehe tribe north of Kaiyuan, and his current priority was to persuade the Yehe tribe to migrate to the Ningyuan region, otherwise it would definitely be annexed by the Later Jin, and the Later Jin would have no enemies in Liaodong at that time.
