(Recommended reading: Three days later, Kaiyuan City, General Military Mansion.

"Great Khan, the Ming army took advantage of the night to sneak attack Sancha'er Fort, and the Ortai leader of the Zhenglan Banner was killed in battle, and only dozens of his banner soldiers escaped, and the losses were heavy!"

Nurhachi smiled and admired Abahai's graceful dance to the sound of the music, when suddenly a guard came quickly, kneeling on one knee and shouting loudly.

"What?" Nurhachi was about to drink, and when he heard this, the wine glass on his lips couldn't help but stop, and he looked at the guard in surprise, Li Hongyu suddenly sent troops to capture Sancha'er Fort, which surprised him.

"The Ming army has launched an attack on Tieling?" After the initial confusion, Nurhachi thought of something, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and asked with a blank face.

In Nurhachi's view, it is not impossible to secretly mobilize troops to seize Tieling under the banner of exchanging prisoners with Li Hongyu's "cunning".

Since Li Hongyu came to Liaodong, the Ming army in Shenyang and Liaoyang and other cities adjacent to the theater of operations have vigorously strengthened the actions of the Jin spies after the rebellion, which made it not so easy for Nurhachi to obtain information about the Ming army.

In addition, Li Hongyu's troop transfer has always been rapid and secretive, so it is normal for Nurhachi to not know if the Ming army is transferred.

For the Houjin, Tieling can be described as the barrier of Kaiyuan, once the Ming army captured Tieling, then Kaiyuan was exposed to the Ming army's troops, which was the scene that Nurhachi was most unwilling to see.

Although Kaiyuan had important military value, it also had a fatal disadvantage for the Later Jin, that is, it was too close to the Ming army.

Although the city defense of Hetuara could not be compared with Kaiyuan, it was located outside the border wall of Liaodong, which made it beyond the reach of the Ming army and far from the threat of a surprise attack by the Ming army.

For the safety of Kaiyuan, Nurhachi must control Tieling in his hands, he knows very well that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not as good as the Houjin army, but the siege is much more powerful than the Houjin army, once a large number of artillery siege is concentrated, then whether the Houjin army of Tieling City can support the arrival of reinforcements in Kaiyuan City is still unknown.

Under normal circumstances, the artillery units of the Ming army were too heavy to walk on official roads in good condition, which made it impossible for them to attack Tieling silently without Nurhachi's knowledge, as the Ming infantry and cavalry did.

Nurhachi, like Li Hongyu, has set up a lot of outposts on the front line to detect the other side's movements, so that it is difficult for the other side to conceal the other side from large-scale military operations.

But Li Hongyu is different from other commanders of the Ming Dynasty, he is meticulous, the city is deep, and he especially likes to win by surprise, which makes Nurhachi very jealous, who would have thought that Li Hongyu would almost annihilate the Eight Banners under Dai Shan and Huang Taiji in the Battle of Tieling?

Therefore, the news of the Ming army's sudden attack on Sancha'er Fort made Nurhachi nervous, and he began to worry about the safety of Tieling, if Li Hongyu commanded the army, then Tieling would be in danger!

"Back to the Great Khan, Tieling is worry-free for the time being, and the Ming army did not advance to Tieling after capturing Sancha'er Fort." However, the guards who came to report told Nurhachi a good news, which made Nurhachi's hanging heart finally relax.

"Pass the order down, let Amin lead his troops and horses to support Tieling." After frowning and pondering for a while, Nurhachi gave an order to the guard, the situation is unclear now, and the top priority is to transfer troops to hold Tieling so as not to be successfully attacked by the Ming army.

The Houjin army was good at field warfare like Salhu, and the siege of the city was the last thing Nurhachi wanted to see, and the reason why Nurhachi wanted to send troops to garrison Sanchaerbao was to prevent the Ming army from recapturing Tieling.

The reason why Nurhachi has such worries is undoubtedly from the pressure brought to him by Li Hongyu, and the generals of Liaodong have chosen defensive strategies after seeing the power of the Houjin army's field battles, which is the scene that Nurhachi expected, firmly grasping the dominance of the war in Liaodong.

But Li Hongyu unexpectedly won the Battle of Tieling, defeating two of the four Baylors in one fell swoop, making Nurhachi realize that Li Hongyu is not the kind of person who follows the rules, which makes him feel a headache.

There is no doubt that the last thing Nurhachi wants is for Li Hongyu to fight a war of attrition with him, so that he will not be able to go south, and the Houjin army is very strong, but it cannot withstand the Ming army under the command of Li Hongyu to use wheel warfare to deal with them.

"Great Khan, the Ming army doesn't want to exchange prisoners?" After the guards left, Abahai poured a glass of wine and handed it to Nurhachi, who was tightly locked, and asked in some surprise, knowing that Li Hongyu took the initiative to exchange prisoners.

"The matter of exchanging prisoners has been approved by the Ming Emperor, and those generals of the Ming army dare not obstruct it." Nurhachi drank all the wine from the wine glass and said with a blank face, "It seems that there is something hidden here!" ”

"Secrets?" A look of confusion appeared on Abahai's face, not knowing what Nurhachi was talking about.

"Send the people from Tieling to Ben Khan." Nurhachi put down the glass in his hand and shouted to the guards standing in the doorway.

"The minions have seen the Great Khan." Soon, a sturdy leader with a blue flag hurried to meet Nurhachi and knelt there on one knee to salute.

He was the one who was sent by Mang Gurtai and Dudu who were guarding Tieling to report the news, and because he was waiting in the general army's mansion, he rushed to see Nurhachi as soon as possible.

"Ben Khan asked you, has Sancha'er Fort attacked the territory of the Ming army recently?" Nurhachi stared at the sturdy leader and asked with a serious expression.

"Back to the Great Khan, the minions don't know." The look on the face of the strong leader changed slightly, and he shook his head and replied.

"Dog minion, do you even want to hide it from Ben Khan?"

Seeing this, Nurhachi knew that the strong leader was hiding something, and he was immediately furious, grabbed the empty wine glass on the table next to him and threw it at the leader.

Now he urgently needs to judge the intention of the Ming army to capture Sancha'er Fort this time, and the strong leader has lied, which will seriously mislead Nurhachi's judgment and make a wrong choice, so he is naturally extremely annoyed by this.

"Back to the Great Khan, the slave deserves to die, I hope the Great Khan will forgive his sins."

The wine glass smashed heavily on the forehead of the strong Zuo Ling, snapped and shattered, followed by blood flowing down his face, and the strong Zuo Ling saw that Nurhachi was angry, so frightened that he couldn't even care about wiping the blood, and hurriedly touched the ground with his head, and said in fear, "As far as the slaves know, the people of Sancha'er Fort attacked the villages in the territory of the Ming army a few days ago, and captured more than 1,000 people.

”

Nurhachi's brows furrowed when he heard this, he was quite annoyed by the Houjin army in Sancha'er Fort, he had already ordered a truce during the prisoner exchange, and he didn't expect them to dare to disobey his orders.

Since the people stationed at Sancha'er Fort were Mang Gurtai's men, it is clear that the people of Sancha'er Fort plundered the population of the Ming army with Mang Gurtai's consent.

Although he was annoyed, Nurhachi's heart was also relieved, so it seemed that the Ming army's military action against Sancha'er Fort was to retaliate against the attack of the Houjin army in Sancha'erbao, not to fight a big battle with the Houjin army now.

There is no doubt that Nurhachi can guess that it must be Li Hongyu who ordered the capture of Sancha'er Fort, and other Ming army officials usually look forward and backward at this time to avoid causing trouble and changing prisoners, but Li Hongyu will definitely not sit back and watch Houjin act arbitrarily.

After all, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the young Li Hongyu was young and frivolous, plus he was a celebrity in front of Emperor Wanli, so he naturally did not have many scruples like those old fritters who had been in the officialdom for many years.

"Let Huang Taiji come." After figuring out the reason why the Ming army captured Sancha'er Fort, Nurhachi pondered for a while and asked people to pass on Huang Taiji.

Among Nurhachi's sons and nephews, the most stable person is Huang Taiji, and now it is a critical period for the exchange of prisoners between Houjin and Daming, Nurhachi does not want to cause any trouble, so he is ready to send Huang Taiji to lead the flag soldiers with yellow flags to Tieling, and take charge of Tieling's military affairs.

"Father Khan rest assured, the son will definitely live up to his father Khan's expectations." Huang Taiji learned that Nurhachi was going to let him lead the Yellow Banner to sit in Tieling, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed back quietly.

The two yellow flags of the Houjin army are the most powerful force in the eight banners, not only the most noble status but also the most troops, which has been personally led by Nurhachi, and now Nurhachi let Huang Taiji lead the yellow flag to Tieling, which is both an honor and Nurhachi's affirmation of Huang Taiji.

Abahai's face on the side became slightly ugly, she didn't want to see Huang Taiji favored in front of Nurhachi, in that case, her three sons would have one more fierce opponent when they competed for the throne in the future.

As Nurhachi's favorite concubine, Abahai naturally hopes that her son will inherit the throne of Houjin, but her three sons are now young and cannot compete with Huang Taiji and others, so she can only secretly look for opportunities.

"Huang Taiji, what will you do when you arrive in Tieling?" Nurhachi glanced at Huang Taiji and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Father Khan, the sons will Chen soldiers in Sancha'er Fort, forcing the Ming army to send people to negotiate with the sons." Huang Taiji groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said solemnly.

Since Nurhachi sent him to Tieling, it meant that he didn't want to clash with the Ming army, otherwise Mang Gurtai, Amin and Dudu could have fought a battle with the Ming army.

But at the same time, Nurhachi sent the yellow flag to Tieling, which means that he didn't want to suffer such a dumb loss in the matter of Sancha'er Fort, so he had to put on a posture of battle to put the Ming army under pressure, and then took the initiative to negotiate, after all, the top priority of the Ming army now is to exchange prisoners.

"What if the Ming army is indifferent?" Nurhachi glanced at Huang Taiji when he heard this, and asked quietly.

"Indifferent?" Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand what Nurhachi meant, and looked at Nurhachi in puzzlement, could it be that the Ming army would turn a blind eye to the Houjin army outside Sancha'er Fort? Watching the Houjin Army recapture it?
