After arriving at Shimen Mountain, the Later Jin army encamped in an abandoned village three miles from Shimen Mountain on Nurhachi's orders.

Huang Taiji got the war letter written by Nurhachi to Li Hongyu, and immediately returned to the camp to gather a few close cavalrymen and prepare to go up the mountain to deliver the letter.

Although the outside world was worried about Huang Taiji's trip and thought that his life might be in danger, Huang Taiji did not care at all, because he concluded that Li Hongyu would never kill him, and with Li Hongyu's conceit, how could he kill Houjin's general at this time, wouldn't it be ridiculed if that kind of words were spread.

Therefore, Huang Taiji thought that he was in danger of going to Shimen Mountain this time, so that he could take the opportunity to meet Li Hongyu to probe his details, so as to judge Li Hongyu's strategic deployment on the battlefield in the future, and at the same time to achieve Nurhachi's will and explore the reality of the Ming army on Shimen Mountain.

Huang Taiji must go to Shimen Mountain, he knows that this is likely to be the only chance for him and Li Hongyu to meet, once he misses it, I am afraid that he will see each other indefinitely, which will become a permanent regret in his heart, he really wants to see this young minister of the Ming Dynasty who defeated Houjin one after another, so that Houjin fell into passivity from the initiative.

"Lord Belle, the minion implores to go with Lord Belle, the minion has some understanding of the situation of the Ming army and can help Lord Belle."

As soon as Huang Taiji turned over and got on his horse, a young officer of the Houjin Han people with a dignified appearance, a burly physique, a fine head, and a braid on his head walked quickly to Huang Taiji's horse, knelt down on one knee and pleaded.

"You're the one with the red flag!" Huang Taiji glanced at the young officer, felt that this person was a little confused, and then asked quietly.

The colors of the clothes and ornaments worn by the flag soldiers of the Eight Banners were different, so Huang Taiji could see that the young officer was the person who inlaid the red flag, the flag man under Dai Shan.

In order to enrich the Eight Banners, Nurhachi constantly organized the captive Han people into the Eight Banners, and became the banner people of the Eight Banners, and they were the lowest group of people in the Eight Banners, and they were enslaved.

It is worth mentioning that the Manchu "shaving order" was issued after entering the customs and capturing the city of Beijing, and when Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were in power, they did not force all Han people to shave, and Han people such as Liu Aita kept their heads.

However, during the Nurhachi and Huang Taiji periods, different policies were adopted for different Han people, and Han people such as Liu Aita who were taken captive or took refuge did not need to be shaved, but after the siege, the soldiers and civilians in the city had to be shaved if they wanted to surrender in order to show their submission.

The Jurchens were different from the Han Chinese in that they preferred to remove the excess head from their heads and tie them into braids in only one or a few places.

The Han people can only keep the head at the top of the head, and the head in the rest of the place is all shaved, and the area left cannot be greater than one penny, otherwise they will be executed, which is called "money rat tail".

It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Manchu court's requirements for style were relaxed, and gradually evolved into only the part of the forehead that was shaved in front of the forehead, which was well known to later generations.

"Back to Sibeile, the slave is Fan Wencheng with red flags, and Zhang Jing used to be the Wenguan." Hearing this, the young Houjin officer looked up at Huang Taiji and replied in a loud voice.

"Zhang Jing?" Huang Taiji's brows furrowed slightly, the Wenguan was an institution specializing in secretarial affairs in Houjin, and "Zhang Jing" was a low-level clerk inside, responsible for copying and writing.

"When did you join the flag?" Subsequently, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and asked, although Fan Wencheng's official position was small, he could give up his comfortable civil service and "put pen to paper", which made Huang Taiji a little interested, after all, there are not many literati who can do this.

"Back to Sibeile, the slave is the Great Khan who took refuge in Fushun in the third year of the Mandate of Heaven, and the Great Khan let the slave join the Red Banner and become the Zhang Jing of the Wenguan." Fan Wencheng's face suddenly turned happy when he heard this, and he hurriedly replied in a deep voice.

"Give him a horse." Huang Taiji groaned for a moment when he heard this, and asked the soldiers on the side to instruct, ready to take Fan Wencheng with him, since Nurhachiken made him an official, it means that Fan Wencheng is the Houjin who took the initiative to take refuge in, and he is worthy of his trust.

"Lord Shabel." Fan Wencheng was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to Huang Taiji, and after getting on the horse, he followed Huang Taiji out of the camp and went straight to Shimen Mountain.

Shimen Mountain, the main peak.

Li Hongyu's tent was set up on the edge of a Taoist temple on the main peak, which was small in scale, with only two houses, one for the Taoist patriarch and one for the two Taoists who guarded the temple.

After the fall of Quang Ninh, some refugees fled to the Taoist temple on the mountain, but they were soon found by the Later Jin soldiers and taken away with the two Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, making the Taoist temple an empty temple.

Although the Taoist temple is relatively small, it is always more comfortable to live in than the handsome tent, originally the guards around Li Hongyu wanted to clean the rooms of the people living in the Taoist temple for Li Hongyu to live, but Li Hongyu refused, how could he disturb the purity of those gods in the Taoist temple?

"Scholar, Jiannu Sibeile Huang Taiji asked to see him, saying that there was a letter to be sent to the scholar, and now he is waiting in front of the mountain." When Li Hongyu was convening a meeting of senior generals in the tent, a guard came in and reported loudly.

"Huang Taiji is here to deliver a letter?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt a little surprised, but he knew that Huang Taiji was powerful, not only successfully took over Houjin as a concubine, but also laid the foundation for Houjin to expand its territory in the future.

It is worth mentioning that Huang Taiji is also very good at persuading him to surrender, and has subdued many high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty for his use, and his scheming city government makes Li Hongyu also quite admired.

"Scholar, I heard that this Huang Taiji is a member of Jiannu, and he is the most capable of fighting among the four major Beile of Jiannu, and I am afraid that Nurhachi sent him here with other meanings."

Everyone at the scene was also surprised by the news, Yuan Chonghuan pondered for a while and vigilantly reminded Li Hongyu that he also knew the situation of Houjin very well, and knew that Emperor Taiji was one of the four great Baylors.

"Nurhachi asked him to inquire about our military situation and want to know how the defense on the mountain is." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, how could he not guess Nurhachi's intention to do this, so he said disapprerovitly, "This is just right, let Jiannu know how powerful we are." ”

"Pass the order and greet each other in formation!"

Saying that, Li Hongyu gave an order in a deep voice, how could he disappoint Nurhachi and Huang Taiji? Naturally, it is necessary to give the coming Huang Taiji a dismount, and show the military might of the Ming army to Huang Taiji, which is a choice that any army commander will make, hoping to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight.

After Yuan Chonghuan and the others left to make preparations, Li Hongyu whispered a few words to a guard beside him, and the guard left quickly.

"Huang Taiji!" Looking at the back of the guard, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, Huang Taiji definitely didn't know how important he was to Houjin, otherwise he would definitely not appear here.

"Come with me!"

In front of Shimen Mountain, a military attache of the Ming army came to Huang Taiji and others who were waiting in front of the Ming army camp, and said expressionlessly.

Huang Taiji took a deep breath, followed the military attache up to Shimen Mountain with a serious expression, and secretly kept an eye on the Ming military fortifications along the way.

After arriving at Shimen Mountain, Li Hongyu ordered an army of 30,000 to build fortifications, there were a lot of rolling stones and fallen trees piled on the mountain, and there were very many archers in the Ming army, once the Houjin army attacked, it was bound to cause huge casualties.

What particularly worries Huang Taiji is that the morale of the Ming army on Shimen Mountain is high and the morale is high, which makes Huang Taiji's expression more and more solemn, it seems that Li Hongyu really manages the army well, it can be said that the Ming army is a Dinghai Shen needle, if he is there, the morale of those Ming troops will not become low.

On both sides of the road in front of Li Hongyu's tent, hundreds of Ming soldiers with helmets and armor were neatly arranged, all with grim expressions, strict military appearances, and a spooky atmosphere.

Huang Taiji was shocked when he saw those Ming soldiers in array, he could naturally see that these Ming soldiers were well-trained, if Li Hongyu trained such powerful soldiers one after another, then the life of Houjin would be miserable.

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north!"

When Huang Taiji walked into the queue of the Ming army, a loud voice with a slight vicissitudes of life sounded at the scene, singing loudly.

"The wolf is raised, the rivers and mountains are hoped, the dragon is rolling up and the horse is hissing, and the sword is like frost ......" Immediately, the soldiers of the Ming army in the array sang in unison, their voices were majestic and magnificent.

Huang Taiji didn't expect those Ming soldiers to sing, and it sounded very tragic and solemn, which made people enthusiastic, so he couldn't help but pay attention to the lyrics.

"I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory, and China will let the Quartet come to congratulate!"

When he heard the two sonorous lyrics, Huang Taiji couldn't help but recite them silently in his heart, and then his face became more and more solemn.

From these two simple lyrics, he can naturally hear the meaning of expanding the territory, which is completely different from the Ming army's previous passive defense, and the attack is full of meaning.

In fact, Li Hongyu originally wanted Huang Taiji to cross the "knife gate", that is, the soldiers on both sides of the road crossed the knives in their hands above the road, so that Huang Taiji passed under the blade.

But in the end, he dispelled this idea, if the Ming army now has an advantage, it can use the "knife gate", but now the Ming army is at a disadvantage, if you use the "knife door" again, it will be a little lustful, and it will not achieve the desired effect at all.

"Who's coming?" When Huang Taiji came to the front and back of the Shuai tent door, the majestic singing at the scene stopped abruptly, and a military attache standing in front of the door looked at Huang Taiji and asked loudly.

"This official is the Golden Four Baylor Emperor Taiji!" Huang Taiji replied quietly when he heard this.

The military attache then waved his hand, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers stepped forward and began to search Huang Taiji and the others to ensure that they were not carrying weapons.

Huang Taiji naturally knew this rule, so he didn't bring weapons at all when he came this time, not only him, but also his entourage, because if Li Hongyu wanted to be unfavorable to him, a few weapons could not change the pattern.

"Follow me." After searching his body to make sure that there were no weapons hidden privately, the military attache nodded to Huang Taiji, turned around and walked towards the tent, and the Ming soldiers standing in front of the tent stretched out their hands and opened the tent door.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but breathe, stabilized his somewhat flustered mind, and then led an entourage behind him into the tent, he was already a little eager to see what this man who had given him great psychological pressure looked like.
