After Li Hongyu arrived at the refugee camp outside Shanhaiguan, he caused a sensation among the refugees, and no one expected that Li Hongyu would come to visit them, and the crowd was excited for a while.

Li Hongyu and Yuan Chonghuan visited the refugees separately to understand the conditions in the camps so that they could provide solutions.

After discussing with Yuan Chonghuan, Li Hongyu learned that Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen had brought millions of people into the customs this time, and the imperial court had arranged for hundreds of thousands of people to go to the capitals of Gyeonggi Prefecture.

Due to the lack of troops at hand, Li Hongyu asked people to recruit soldiers in the refugee camp, promising generous welfare benefits.

Maybe he was scared by Houjin, or maybe he had to take care of his parents at home, so only a few young people applied, Li Hongyu could only smile bitterly at this, he completely understood the thoughts of those who were not recruited.

"My lord, there is a Liao people who asked to see your lord, saying that there is something important to report." Just as Li Hongyu was visiting a refugee family in a shantytown, a guard arrived to report it.

Li Hongyu felt a little strange when he heard this, so he exchanged a few words with the excited refugee and left.

At the foot of a secluded mountain, a burly, dark-skinned man in refugee clothes waited for him under a large tree, with several vigilant guards watching the man's movements.

"Sinner Liu Aita, knock on Lord Li." The big man saw Li Hongyu coming surrounded by everyone, so he knelt down on one knee to Li Hongyu.

"Liu Aita?"

Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, and then asked in surprise, "You are Nurhachi's son-in-law?" ”

"Exactly the sinner!" Liu Aita looked gloomy when he heard this, and nodded to Li Hongyu.

Liu Aita is a native of Kaiyuan in Liaodong, when he was a child, he was plundered to the Jurchen area of Jianzhou by Nurhachi's people, and in Jianzhou he was outstanding and clever and understanding, so he won Nurhachi's respect and appreciation, and was assigned to the red flag of the Great Belle Daishan, and also married a daughter of Nurhachi.

As a general of the Later Jin, Liu Aita participated in the battle of the Later Jin Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty and advance into Liaoshen, and was awarded the title of "Defending the Enemy" and "Chasing and Fleeing", and was quickly promoted to the deputy general, and was ordered to govern Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou, and the land of the four guards in the southeast of Liao, and became a well-known Han official in the Later Jin Kingdom.

Li Hongyu had naturally heard of Liu Aita's name, but he didn't expect him to appear here.

"Why are you here?" Subsequently, Li Hongyu suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, it stands to reason that Liu Aita is alive and well in Houjin.

"The sinner asked Nurhachi Khan for his life and came to Shanhaiguan to find out the truth of the Ming Dynasty."

Liu Aita showed a bitter look on his face when he heard this, looked up at Li Hongyu and said, "But the sinners really can't stand their bullying of the Han people, so they decided to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty, and I hope that the adults will give me permission." ”

"Belong to the Ming?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned for a moment, and was quite surprised by this.

It turned out that after the Later Jin conquered Liaodong, they adopted national oppression and enslavement against the local Han people and people of other nationalities, and the Han people were ravaged and completely regarded as the efforts of the Jurchen nobles, living in dire straits.

This deeply shook Liu Aita's conscience and made him unable to sit idly by, and then had the idea of rebelling against Hou Jin, after all, he was still Han.

Originally, Liu Aita mixed in with the refugees and entered Shanhaiguan this time just to find out the truth of the Ming army, and then report it to Nurhachi.

After the soldiers took Guangning City without blood, Nurhachi's original deployment had been disrupted, and Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen's retreat of thousands of miles gave Nurhachi a problem.

The situation in Liaodong was originally unstable, and the Houjin army was tired of dealing with the uprisings of the people in various places, and now there is such a large territory in Liaoxi all of a sudden, which makes Nurhachi very nerve-wracking.

Therefore, Nurhachi was ready to send people to Shanhaiguan to find out the reality of the Ming army before making a decision, the reason why he was able to have such an achievement is not accidental, but to know himself and his opponent, and attach great importance to intelligence work, which is a valuable asset he learned from Li Chengliang when he was young.

In the face of this chaotic situation in western Liaoxi, Nurhachi didn't know what to do for a while, although the Ming army in Guangning was defeated, but the Ming soldiers were many generals, and God knows if they would send troops to fight with Houjin.

Therefore, what the Houjin army should do next, Nurhachi had to make a decision based on the information he obtained, so he sent a lot of spies to infiltrate the refugees who could not escape, and this is how Liu Aita entered Shanhaiguan.

After witnessing all kinds of miserable scenes in the Shanhaiguan refugee camp, Liu Aita's heart was touched again, and he knew that many people in western Liaoning were slaughtered by the Houjin army, and many of the people who fled into Shanhaiguan had their relatives died at the hands of the Houjin soldiers.

In fact, Liu Aita hoped that Daming could organize the army to fight back as soon as possible, but the situation he found made him feel disappointed.

Today, in the face of the aggressive momentum of the Houjin army, the Ming army does not seem to have decided what to do next, so the 50,000 troops of Shanhaiguan are only stationed in the "Balipu" outside the pass, which makes him feel disappointed.

In Liu Aita's view, if the Ming army can take advantage of the fact that the Houjin army has a stable foothold in western Liaoxi to counterattack, then even if it cannot recapture Guangning, it should maintain the battle line in the Guangning area, instead of hiding far away in Shanhaiguan and Balipu as it is now, and hand over those cities in western Liaoxi to Houjin in vain.

Liu Aita has been out to investigate for a long time, and just when he was about to go back and tell Nurhachi the news he had found, Li Hongyu suddenly came to Shanhaiguan, which gave Liu Aita a surprise and made him have the hope that the Ming army would defeat the Houjin army in Liaoxi.

Although Liu Aita didn't want to report the truth to Nurhachi, the problem was that Nurhachi sent more than one spy, and if he didn't lie, he would definitely be exposed, because only the truth was told.

Liu Aita is no stranger to Li Hongyu, he was a subordinate of Daishan of the Houjin Dabeile during the Battle of Tieling, and fled back with Daishan after the defeat, at that time he would never have thought that the Houjin army would be defeated.

This also made Li Hongyu a figure who changed the color of the generals of the Later Jin Army, which made the Later Jin generals, including Nurhachi, quite jealous, which is why the generals of the Later Jin Army would rather attack the city of Guangning, which has high walls than fight Li Hongyu.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, Liu Aita decided to surrender to Li Hongyu, and he really could not bear to see the Han people in Liao land being enslaved as slaves by the Houjin again.

"General Liu, please." Li Hongyu had already guessed the reason why he surrendered to Daming from Liu Aita's expression, so he stepped forward with a smile and helped him up.

"Lord Li, the Jurchens are short of troops, if you can lead the army to counterattack, the sinners believe that the Jurchens will abandon the city of Guangning and flee back to the area east of the Liao River."

After Liu Aita got up, he looked at Li Hongyu solemnly and said, the shadow of the so-called famous tree, not to mention anything else, Li Hongyu's name alone is enough to make Nurhachi and others have three points of jealousy, not to mention that Li Hongyu is able to turn the tide with his soldiers.

Li Hongyu couldn't help but flash a subtle wry smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, he could still rely on the power of the Mongols in Liaodong back then, but now that the Mongolian tribes close to him such as the Inner Khalkha Department have gone west, Lin Dan Khan will not use his own soldiers and horses to help the Ming Dynasty fight.

In order to win over the Mongols, Wang Huazhen wanted the Mongols to help him like Li Hongyu, but he spent a lot of money, but Lin Dan Khan was still unmoved, which also made Wang Huazhen's hope to use the Mongols to attack Houjin became a joke.

As for the official army of the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Salhu, the Battle of Liaoshen and the Battle of Guangning have lost the elite of the Ming Dynasty to seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Therefore, where can Li Hongyu put together a team for him to lead the counterattack for a while, it will take at least half a year to reorganize the troops alone.

If it weren't for the critical situation in Liaoxi, he wouldn't have appeared here, and his arrival has meant that the imperial court is now out of control of the war situation in Liaoxi, otherwise the imperial court would not have urgently sent him from North Korea.

"That's what this official wants."

Li Hongyu naturally wouldn't let Liu Aita know the current situation of the Ming army, and after a while, he calmly churned slightly, looked at Liu Aita quietly, and asked, "General Liu, is Nurhachi in Guangning now?" ”

"Lord Hui, the city of Guangning is well defended, and Nurhachi is worried that he will be counterattacked by the Ming army in western Liaoxi, so he should stay there."

Liu Aita pondered for a while and then replied, he has been by Nurhachi's side for so long, so he naturally knows Nurhachi's character very well.

"Quang Ninh City!" Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice.

"My lord, do you want to retake Quang Ninh, when the sinners are willing to respond to it?"

Liu Aita's eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement, Li Hongyu's best thing is a surprise attack, and the Emperor Taiji and Dai Shan were caught off guard by Li Hongyu's surprise attack in the battle of Tieling, and finally lost.

"The Jurchens are good at field combat, and our army should not run long distances, in that case, it will be a short attack and a long one, which is not cost-effective."

Li Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, he really had the idea of a surprise attack on Guangning just now, but then again, there must be heavy troops from Houjin stationed in Guangning City, even if the Ming army that successfully attacked by surprise attack was killed, it would definitely be heavily wounded, and it would not be able to garrison it at all.

Moreover, the only people Li Hongyu can rely on now are the 8,000 forbidden troops and sailors who are rushing to Shanhaiguan from Tianjin, which is the main force for him to stabilize the battlefield in western Liaoning, and he will not easily fight with Houjin.

"My lord, the sinner is now guarding the four cities of Haizhou in Liaodong, if the sin transfers troops into Liaodong, the sinner is willing to sacrifice the four cities of Haizhou, so that the Jurchens will have to retreat from Guangning to protect themselves."

Liu Aita's eyes suddenly showed a look of disappointment, but he knew that what Li Hongyu said was right, the Ming army was not the opponent of the Jurchens at all if they fought in the field, so he quickly put forward another suggestion, preparing to attack the rear of Houjin.

Li Hongyu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, how could he not know the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but now the Korean soldiers have not been reorganized and cannot fight with the Houjin soldiers.

It is not too difficult to transfer troops from the Ming Dynasty to North Korea or Liaodong, but the key is that the Ming Dynasty does not have an army that can immediately go to the battlefield to fight with the Houjin soldiers, and it also needs to go through strict training before going to the battlefield, otherwise it will be in vain to die, and it is easy to rout during the battle, in which case the gains outweigh the losses.
