"Gift...... Lord Yu Zongbing, build a ...... Jiannu Zhen...... It's really withdrawn, and Hetuara is now an empty ...... Empty city! ”

About half an hour later, the previous general who had been ordered to explore the reality of Hetuara City broke into Li Rubai's tent in a hurry, and reported excitedly to Li Rubai, who was talking to Guan Bingzhong and Zhang Yu and other generals.

As soon as these words came out, the handsome tent that was originally buzzing and noisy immediately quieted down, and the generals looked at Li Rubai in surprise, and for a while it was hard to believe that this matter was true: they got the capital of Houjin without much effort, which is an out-and-out achievement!

"Let's go, follow Ben into the city!" Li Rubai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced around at the scene, and then walked out, and the generals followed excitedly to know what Houjin's Khan Palace was like.

However, the generals of the Houjin Khan Palace who entered the city of Hetualane and the generals of the Ming army couldn't help but be disappointed, and the Houjin had limited financial resources and manpower, so it was naturally impossible to build the Khan Palace as brilliant and magnificent as the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of the generals, the Khanate of Houjin is similar to the mansions of those landlords and old fortunes in the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Jurchens are poor in materials, and it is not easy to build such a khanate palace.

"Send someone to report to the governor that our army has successfully captured Hetuala, please ask the governor to instruct you on what to do next." Li Rubai reached out and touched the armrest of the dragon chair where Nurhachi was sitting in the meeting hall of the Khan Palace, and gave an order to a general who followed him in a deep voice, he wanted to know what Li Hongyu would let him do next.

"General, the governor sent me to deliver a military order." As soon as Li Rubai's words fell, a guard rushed in, holding an urgent document in his hand and shouting loudly.

The chatting and laughing generals in the hall quieted down, and looked at the official document in the guard's hand with some astonishment, but they didn't expect that they had just entered Hetuara and received Li Hongyu's military order, it seemed that Li Hongyu had calculated the time for their arrival in Hetuara City in advance, which really surprised them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiannu has moved the capital to Kaiyuan, and the governor has led his army to withdraw from Tieling in order to avoid unnecessary casualties."

Li Rubai opened the official document and flipped through it, and then said with a serious expression, "The governor said that Hetuara is located outside the Great Wall, in a remote location, and it is useless for our army, take some items and burn them to the emperor after they are burned!" ”

"General Zhang, General Liu, you lead the right army to return to Yaque Pass to hold on, and the rest of the people will follow the general to reinforce Shenyang."

As he spoke, Li Rubai looked at Zhang Yu, the chief general of the right army, and Liu Minzhong, the deputy general in the crowd, and gave an order to the two in a deep voice, and then looked at everyone and shouted, "Without further ado, you guys go down and prepare!" ”

Li Rubai was secretly anxious in his heart, and he couldn't wait to immediately put on his wings and fly back to Shenyang, Tieling was the ancestral home of the Li family, so he was naturally worried about the people of the Li clan.

As for Li Hongyu's safety, Li Rubai is not worried at all, the city of Shenyang is thick and the walls are thick, although the Houjin army is very powerful in the field, but there is no good way to attack the city, and since Nurhachi chose to move the capital and avoid the Ming army at Yaque Pass, he will not attack the strong Shenyang City.

The generals bowed to Li Rubai and left in groups, talking with great interest about Li Hongyu's letting them attack Hetuala and the military order just now, all thinking that they could easily capture Hetuara was the result of Li Hongyu's strategy, and it was obvious that Nurhachi was quite jealous of Li Hongyu.

In addition, everyone was also very surprised that Li Hongyu made the decision to abandon Tieling, you must know that this gave those civil officials in the court the authority to impeach Li Hongyu in the court, but also saved the lives of many Ming soldiers.

This made everyone in awe of Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu did not find someone to take the blame, but will shoulder the responsibility of withdrawing from Tieling, this kind of responsible and courageous commander must be respected and loved by the soldiers.

At the same time, the capital.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong sent an urgent report, Jiannu avoided the official army led by General Li, and moved the capital from Hetuara to Kaiyuan, and Governor Li had insufficient troops to withdraw from Tieling."

Emperor Wanli was enjoying flowers in the back garden with Concubine Zheng, Princess Shouning, and Zhu Wanting to escape the heat, and Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, rushed over with an urgent report and bowed down to report.

"Oh?" Emperor Wanli couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing, and said to Huang Jiashan, "This Governor Li really gave me a sigh of relief, and even forced Jiannu to not even want the old nest." ”

Zhu Wanting, who had been listening nervously to the battle report, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she thought that something had happened to Li Hongyu, but she didn't think that Nurhachi was forced to move the capital by Li Hongyu.

"Your Majesty, Tieling is an important military town in Liaodong, and I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate for Governor Li to give up like this, which will cause criticism from the outside world." Huang Jiashan saw that Emperor Wanli was in a good mood, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, the implication is that Li Hongyu did this to mean that he would flee without a fight.

"Criticism?" Emperor Wanli's face sank when he heard this, and he looked at Huang Jiashan coldly and said, "Governor Li will stick to Tieling to the end, do you want him to live and die with Tieling?" ”

"If it weren't for Governor Li's timely transfer of Yehebu and the Mongols, Tieling would have been captured by Jiannu a long time ago, and Governor Li had already forced Jiannu to move the capital before reinforcements arrived, what else should he do?"

Saying that, Emperor Wanli sneered, "If someone criticizes Governor Li and thinks that Governor Li is not doing well in Liaodong, then I don't mind letting him go to Liaodong and deal with Jiannu!" “

Huang Jiashan suddenly had a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, although he knew that Emperor Wanli would protect Li Hongyu, but he didn't expect it to be protected to this point, it was obvious that with Emperor Wanli's temper, he would really transfer those who dared to impeach Li Hongyu for making a fuss to Liaodong.

The corners of Zhu Wanting's mouth showed a hint of a smile, she was originally worried that Li Hongyu would have any trouble after giving up Tieling, but from the attitude of Emperor Wanli, she knew that Li Hongyu passed the test safely this time, and it was obvious that Emperor Wanli thought that Li Hongyu had done nothing wrong.

"Passed the decree, Governor Li rescued the people of Tieling and Kaiyuan from the knife of Jiannu, and captured Hetuala, the nest of Jiannu, for the merit of Sheji, and a special reward of 1,000 taels of silver."

Emperor Wanli saw that Huang Jiashan was silent, so after thinking about it, he issued an edict to the attendants on the side, "In addition, Governor Li and the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple!" ”

In order to avoid someone looking for Li Hongyu's "back account" in the future, Emperor Wanli not only affirmed Li Hongyu's evacuation of Tieling, but also promoted Li Hongyu.

Obviously, the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is Li Hongyu's title, that is to say, he only enjoys the officialdom treatment of the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and does not need to serve in Honglu Temple, which is a false position.

If it is a real position, then the Wanli Emperor will say "concurrently" or "concurrently", and will put a verb after the word "concurrently" to indicate that he has the power to act.

The word "concurrently" alone means that it is an additional rank, in order to improve the officialdom rank and treatment of the officials who have obtained this additional title.

"Your Majesty, although Jiannu moved the capital, I don't know if he has given up Hetuala, is it too early to announce that Governor Li has captured Hetuala?"

Huang Jiashan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, after all, the Ming army has not yet conquered Hetuala, if Nurhachiqian is a plan to lure the enemy and introduce the Ming army led by Li Rubai into the encirclement, then what will be the face of Emperor Wanli and the Ming court at that time.

After all, a few months ago, the Ming army of Liaodong Third Route was defeated by the Houjin army in just five days, and in the eyes of Huang Jiashan and other ministers of the DPRK and China, the Houjin army was capable of defeating the Ming army led by Li Rubai.

"Hmph, if Nurhachi wants to fight this battle, he won't move the capital, this is simply a superfluous move!"

Emperor Wanli knew what Huang Jiashan meant, and said with a sneer, "I know that you questioned the number of captured enemies of Governor Li in the Battle of Tieling, and think that Governor Li had falsely reported his military exploits. ”

"Obey." Huang Jiashan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, bowed down and replied, it seems that Emperor Wanli has a lot of trust in Li Hongyu, otherwise he would not let the courtiers discuss the candidates who will go to Liaodong to supervise the exchange of prisoners.

After the official document of the Battle of Tieling was delivered to the capital, the people of the capital cheered, but many ministers in the court and China thought that Li Hongyu had falsely reported his military exploits.

This also can't complain that those ministers suspect that just a few months ago, the elite of more than 100,000 Ming troops led by Yang Hao was defeated by the Houjin army in Salhu and returned with heavy losses.

As a result, not long after Li Hongyu arrived in Liaodong, facing the situation of a shortage of soldiers and major generals, he miraculously defeated 50,000 Houjin troops in Tieling in a blink of an eye, and captured more than 7,000 enemies, which is really unimaginable.

In particular, the main force in the battle of Tieling turned out to be the Jurchen Yehe Department and the Mongolian Trans-Khalkha Department, which made the ministers of the court even more suspicious, when the Jurchens and the Mongols began to give their lives to the Ming Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that Li Hongyu's report to the military department was that 20,000 enemies were annihilated and 7,000 were captured, but since the last "great victory at Yaque Pass" was already "40,000" to destroy the enemy, the people of the military department changed the number of enemies to "50,000" with a stroke of the pen, and the number of enemies destroyed was more than the number of enemies destroyed at Yaque Pass, so as to boost the morale of the people.

As for how much of the Houjin army was annihilated in the Battle of Tieling, I'm afraid no one can say clearly, it is obvious that the Houjin army will reduce casualties when it is announced to the outside world, and the Ming army will exaggerate when it is publicized to the outside world.

However, there is one thing that is difficult to fake on the battlefield, that is, the number of captured enemy troops, unless Li Hongyu captures some people from Liaodong to fill the number, he will definitely not make a fuss about the number of prisoners.

The main purpose of the imperial court to send personnel to supervise the exchange of prisoners in Liaodong is to check whether those prisoners are Houjin soldiers and whether there is any suspicion of indiscriminate filling.
