Chapter 708: Dangerous Moves
"Get up."
Huang Taiji raised his hand to Fan Wencheng, motioned for him to sit down in the seat next to him, and then asked in a deep voice, "In your opinion, will Li Hongyu go down the mountain tomorrow to fight my Dajin?" ”
"What does Lord Belle mean that Li Hongyu is just perfunctory today?" When Fan Wencheng heard this, he immediately understood what Huang Taiji meant, so he asked respectfully.
"Going down the mountain is not good for the Ming army, he must know this, so how could he make such a mistake?" Huang Taiji said with a frown, he always felt that Li Hongyu's promise to fight today seemed too weird.
"But if he doesn't go down the mountain tomorrow, the Great Khan will wave his army to attack Jinzhou, will he sit back and watch the life and death of those people in Jinzhou?"
Fan Wencheng hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and asked tentatively, in his opinion, a great minister like Li Hongyu must cherish his reputation very much.
"Lord Belle, does he want to evacuate Shimen Mountain tonight and return to Jinzhou City?" As he spoke, Fan Wencheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Huang Taiji in a deep voice.
"It would be nice if he withdrew it." Huang Taiji's eyes lit up for a moment, and he said to himself, in this way, Houjin could retreat without casualties.
"Lord Belle, if this is the case, our Dajin Army can intercept and kill them halfway, and they will definitely be able to catch them off guard and capture Li Hongyu in one fell swoop." Fan Wencheng didn't understand what Huang Taiji meant, and naturally he couldn't ask with his identity, so he bowed down and said.
"But if he hadn't fled back to Jinzhou, my Dajin soldiers would have tossed all night, how would I fight with him tomorrow?" Huang Taiji also thought of this, and shook his head when he heard the words and said.
Even if he wanted to lead the army to intercept it, he couldn't do it, because it was Nurhachi who was in charge, and Nurhachi now wanted to ensure that the Houjin army was in the best condition to meet Li Hongyu, so it would not be easy for Huang Taiji to lead the army to toss.
In case Li Hongyu fights Huang Taiji in an ambush when Huang Taiji withdraws, then Huang Taiji will suffer a big loss, which is something that Nurhachi does not want to see.
"You're tired from a day, go down and rest." Huang Taiji felt that whether to intercept and kill Li Hongyu was not something he should care about, and then waved his hand to Fan Wencheng.
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng hurriedly got up, bowed to Huang Taiji and left quickly, he already felt that Huang Taiji didn't want to talk about Li Hongyu anymore.
"Why did he do that?" After Fan Wencheng left, Huang Taiji's eyebrows were furrowed and he fell into deep thought, and muttered to himself for a long time, the look on his face was extremely puzzled.
The "he" in Huang Taiji's mouth naturally refers to Li Hongyu, and he is now puzzled why Li Hongyu let him go after the Battle of Tieling, and he is also merciful to his subordinates on Shimen Mountain today, and he does not know what Li Hongyu's purpose is.
As Li Hongyu said, as long as Li Hongyu detains Huang Taiji, then whether Nurhachi goes to attack Jinzhou will have to be considered, and there is no need for him to lose Huang Taiji's life for an inconsequential city.
However, Huang Taiji was not too worried about Li Hongyu detaining him, with his understanding of Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu would definitely let him go back for the sake of Daming's face, and follow the rule of "the two countries will not fight each other".
Huang Taiji naturally couldn't know that the reason why Li Hongyu was casting a long line to catch a big fish, or making a long-term investment, now that Nurhachi was old, and Huang Taiji was the most favorable contender for the heir, so Li Hongyu naturally wouldn't kill him.
Once Huang Taiji is killed, then the history of Liaodong will change dramatically, Li Hongyu doesn't know whether things will unfold in a good direction or a bad direction, so he still tries not to change history before he has accumulated enough strength.
Therefore, instead of killing Huang Taiji, it is better to find an opportunity to have a good relationship with him, so as to prevent more innocent people from dying at the massacres of the Later Jin and Manchu Qing.
Huang Taiji would never have thought of the reason why Li Hongyu let him go anyway, but I have to say that this made him even more jealous and awe-inspiring towards Li Hongyu in his heart, and he also had an inexplicable good feeling.
At midnight.
Under the cover of night, the figures in the back mountains of Shimen Mountain swayed, and Yuan Chonghuan led the 20,000 Liaoxi Ming troops brought from Ningyuan City to quietly retreat from the back mountains and hurried to Jinzhou City.
Li Hongyu personally went to the back mountain to see off Yuan Chonghuan and the others, looking at Yuan Chonghuan's distant back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he has made a move now, it depends on how Nurhachi takes it.
"Xianggong, will Nurhachi send troops to attack the mountain after he finds out about this matter tomorrow?" Naren Toya came to Li Hongyu's side, glanced at the Ming army marching towards Jinzhou in the night, and asked Li Hongyu worriedly.
"There are still more than 10,000 soldiers on Shimen Mountain, and they are defending according to the danger, if they attack strongly, Xianggong is confident that they will arrive for three days, and then the matter will be handed over to the Mongols."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly, Nurhachi would never have thought that the Ming army left in Shimen Mountain was the elite, as long as Nurhachi dared to attack the mountain, then he would definitely make Nurhachi regret it.
In fact, this is also what Li Hongyu wants, deliberately dividing troops to lure Nurhachi to attack, and then taking the opportunity to destroy Houjin's forces.
Just as Nurhachi and Huang Taiji feared, the Houjin did not have the capital to fight with the Ming Dynasty now, and Li Hongyu could easily replenish the lost Ming army, but the Houjin could not do this, after all, the Jurchen population was limited and could not afford to lose at all.
"Yu'er, Xianggong is a little worried about Jinzhou, if Nurhachi thinks that Xianggong has gone to Jinzhou, he will probably send someone to attack Jinzhou."
After a deep groan, Li Hongyu reached out and pressed Naren Tuoya's arm and said, "Xianggong just told Master Yuan that you will go to Jinzhou on behalf of Xianggong." ”
"Xianggong, you let me go to Jinzhou?" Naren Toya was stunned when she heard this, and she was quite surprised, Li Hongyu had not discussed this matter with her.
"Yu'er, Xianggong is worried that if Jiannu attacks Jinzhou, the officials and troops in the city will not be able to support the arrival of the Mongols."
Li Hongyu looked at Naren Tuoya with a serious expression, and said solemnly, "If the situation is critical, you must reveal your identity, hoping that this will boost morale and make Jinzhou City hold out until the arrival of the Mongols." ”
"Xianggong!" Naren Toya's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she reached out and hugged Li Hongyu tightly in her arms.
How could she not know that Li Hongyu did this to keep her away from danger, and Nurhachi would definitely attack Shimen Mountain, which had few people, first, which was easier to capture than Shimen Mountain in Jinzhou City.
Moreover, Nurhachi must not think that Li Hongyu would leave Shimen Mountain, Li Hongyu, as a first-class minister of the Ming Dynasty, since he came to Shimen Mountain to meet the enemy, how could he flee in the wilderness?
Therefore, after Li Hongyu divided his troops, Jinzhou City was safe, and the probability of Nurhachi attacking Shimen Mountain was greatly increased, and once Houjin attacked, it would be a bitter battle.
Of course, Naren Toya was reluctant to go, but she knew Li Hongyu's character and knew that once Li Hongyu decided, she would not be able to change it.
Besides, it is not impossible for Nurhachi to attack Jinzhou, if he learns that it is the Ming army of Liaoxi who is going to defend Jinzhou, then he will definitely send troops to attack Jinzhou, which will force Li Hongyu's soldiers to go to the rescue, just enough to intercept and kill halfway.
Naren Toya really couldn't find a reason to stay, she was no longer the little girl who didn't understand the world back then, she couldn't just think about the love of her children, and she wanted to share the pressure of Li Hongyu, so she decided to go to Jinzhou in case of accidents.
If Li Hongyu had an accident in Shimen Mountain, Naren Toya, who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, would definitely not live alone, and would definitely go with Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu naturally knew that Naren Toya had guessed his intentions, so he smiled and reached out and gently stroked her back to appease, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart, he also wanted to spend the moon and the moon with his wife like others, instead of taking Naren Toya to the battlefield for adventure.
After hugging Li Hongyu for a while, Naren Toya wiped away the tears on her cheeks and reluctantly left Shimen Mountain, secretly praying for Li Hongyu in her heart.
It wasn't until Naren Toya's figure disappeared into the night that Li Hongyu stretched lazily, returned to the camp and fell asleep, once Nurhachi ordered the attack on the mountain tomorrow, then he would have no time to rest in the past two or three days.
The next day, noon.
"Father Khan, the Ming army doesn't seem to have the intention of going down the mountain, could it be that Li Hongyu broke his promise?" In the Houjin military camp, Dai Shan walked into the tent and said to Nurhachi, who was standing in front of the military map to check it, with a serious expression.
"Looks like we're going to put some pressure on him."
Nurhachi had already thought that Li Hongyu would not be so easy to deal with, after all, the way to come down the mountain was undoubtedly to give up the geographical advantage of Shimen Mountain, he believed that Li Hongyu would not do such a stupid thing easily, so he groaned for a while and ordered Dai Shan expressionlessly:
"You lead the people of your headquarters to Jinzhou, and if Li Hongyu doesn't go down the mountain, you will attack Jinzhou."
"Yes." Hearing this, Dai Shan bowed to Nurhachi and walked out.
"Wait."
Just as Dai Shan was about to walk out of the tent, Nurhachi thought of something and called out to him, and said with a serious expression, "Remember, you are a feint this time, do not attack the city unless ordered by Ben Khan, and do not prevent the people in the city from going out for help." ”
"Erchen understands." When Dai Shan heard this, he bowed to Nurhachi again, and Nurhachi wanted to force Li Hongyu to fight.
"Great Khan, just now the spies from Jinzhou came to report that one or two thousand Ming troops returned to Jinzhou City from Shimen Mountain this morning, and now the strength of the Ming army in Jinzhou has increased." As soon as Dai Shan's words fell, a soldier hurried into the tent and bowed to Nurha.
"What?"
Nurhachi was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that Li Hongyu, who was already short of troops, would divide his troops to save Jinzhou, so that the strength of the Ming army on Shimen Mountain would become insufficient, and in his opinion, Li Hongyu should abandon Shimen Mountain and withdraw the whole army to Jinzhou City.
Dai Shan was also stunned, looking at the soldier who reported in disbelief, Li Hongyu's approach was completely beyond his expectations.
