Seeing that Li Rusong didn't eat, Nurhachi also felt that it was inappropriate.

"Da Lang, this is about to go to war, even if you worry about the old man, you have to eat, you haven't eaten well for several days, and you don't have a good rest, how can you have the energy to fight with those Mongols when the time comes?"

Li Rusong smiled bitterly a few times and shook his head.

"Later, take out this leg of mutton and divide it among the brothers who patrol the night, I can't eat it, my father is still in Bauhinia Pass, I don't know if he lives or dies, how can I have the appetite to eat these things......"

Li Rusong shook his head and sighed.

Seeing this, Nurhachi thought about it, then took out a dagger and cut off the most tender piece of meat on the leg of mutton and sent it to Li Rusong.

"Da Lang, you have to eat a little, otherwise when you see the old man, the old man should blame Da Lang for not taking care of his body, fighting is a hard job, and you can't do it if you don't have the strength."

Li Rusong thought about it, so he took this piece of meat, and forced himself to eat the meat one bite at a time, Nurhachi was also relieved when he saw this, and took out the big leg of lamb and asked someone to share it with the soldiers who were on the night watch, and he carried a pot of hot wine for Li Rusong to drink.

Li Rusong took the bowl, took a sip of hot wine, felt that his body was much warmer and more comfortable, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "Nu'er, do you think Xiao Ruxun really didn't resent me for competing with him for the main general, nor did I resent my father for suppressing him?" ”

Nurhachi searched for a moment.

"Da Lang, I feel that this Xiao Ruxun probably didn't hold a grudge against these things, otherwise in North Korea, he would have too many opportunities to suppress us, and even kill us with a knife, but he didn't do it, and there doesn't seem to be anything special for us in all kinds of actions."

"You mean Xiao Ruxun is really a rare person who is dedicated to the public?"

Nurhachi shook his head and said: "This, I don't know, and I haven't followed him, but right now, Da Lang, he is the commander, in charge of the army, and he has won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and handed over our command to him, I think I can't offend him after all." ”

"If you can't offend, you can't offend, but I'm worried that he will be bad for me and my father, although he has never done this, but can there really be such a generous person in the world? There are many factions on the hill of the Ming army, and he is a border general from the northwest and the southwest, so can he be so generous to people from Liaodong? ”

Li Rusong always felt that it was not right.

Nurhachi also felt that he put himself in the position of the Liaodong people, and said: "If you want to say that the northerners are okay, especially those southerners, they can't get used to us, since Xiao Ruxun is a northerner, he won't treat us too differently, right?" He managed to make a bowl of water level in North Korea. ”

"North Korea is North Korea, the situation is different, there is a Song Yingchang above him, now there is no one above him, Wang Shiyang can't control him, our 20,000 people, and the 60,000 people in Bauhinia Pass are all under his control, if he wants to take revenge, it will be much easier."

Li Rusong's thoughts, Nurhachi didn't dare to agree, he always felt that Xiao Ruxun didn't seem to have prejudice against Li Rusong, but as if he paid special attention to him, he didn't dare to say this to Li Rusong, so as not to attract Li Rusong's attention.

"But at the moment, we have no choice but to let it go, the Mongols' offensive is so fierce, he probably won't dare to cut off his arm at this time, after all, to deal with those Mongolian cavalry, it still depends on us."

Li Rusong agreed, this time was different from the last time, last time he had more than 5,000 deployments, this time there were only more than 3,000, and the enemy to deal with was much more difficult to deal with than the Japanese invaders, he had to rely on the Liaodong Army, so Li Rusong felt that he was still relatively safe.

"Then let's do it first! Slave, go and rest too! I have to hurry tomorrow morning. ”

Nurhachi nodded: "Yes!" ”

The night passed quietly, the next morning at three o'clock, the soldiers got up on time to order, after the morning is to have breakfast, after breakfast to a quarter of an hour to solve their own urine and urine problems, the whole army swears, under the leadership of Xiao Ruxun, the whole army set off, rushed to Bauhinia Pass.

At first, there was nothing to do all the way, everyone was just in a hurry, and they didn't say anything, but when the whole army stopped for lunch near Fangshan at noon, something happened.

It was not that Li Rusong's Liaodong cavalry itself had an accident, but that the rangers who were patrolling and defending the army found a Ming army of more than 100 people near the garrison of the army in the Fangshan area.

Looking at the style of the military uniform, there is no doubt that they are Beijing battalion soldiers, their clothes are tattered, their faces are panicked, their faces are scorched, and only a dozen or so of the more than 100 people have weapons, and they are obviously deserters.

After these people were discovered by the Liaodong Rangers, they drove to the place where Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong rested and ate, Xiao Ruxun was gnawing on the leg of mutton and drinking hot water, when he heard a commotion, and before he could ask what was going on, Li Rusong stood up and got angry.

"The whole army is silent during the lunch break! How dare anyone make a noise? ”

The leading cavalry hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "General, it's not that we are making noise, but that we have captured a group of deserters and escorted them over!" ”

"Deserters?"

Li Rusong was stunned for a moment: "Where did the deserter come from?" There are deserters here? ”

Xiao Ruxun didn't hear it right, and also stepped forward and said, "Bring it up and take a look." ”

"No!"

The leader of the cavalry waved his hand, and a group of Liaodong soldiers armed with long knives escorted the more than 100 untidy and blackened Beijing camp deserters.

Seeing their appearance, as well as the style of military uniforms on their bodies, Xiao Ruxun knew that this was definitely a Beijing camp soldier, and it was likely that he had escaped from Bauhinia Pass, and he was suddenly a little worried that Bauhinia Pass would not be safe!

"Where did you come from? Why here! ”

Xiao Ruxun immediately became serious and asked nervously.

The more than 100 people knelt on the ground, looking at each other, as if they didn't dare to speak.

Li Rusong couldn't bear it, stepped forward and kicked over a deserter, pulled out a knife across his neck and asked viciously: "Say it quickly!" I'll cut you if I don't say anything! ”

"Ahh No! No! The general spares his life! I say! I say! We are out of Bauhinia Pass! ”

Li Rusong was stunned for a moment, grabbed the deserter's collar, and lifted him up with force.

"Bauhinia Pass?! Could it be that the Bauhinia Pass has been broken? Say it! What happened to Bauhinia Pass? How is General Lee Sung-liang!? Say it! If you don't say it, I'll tear you alive!! ”

Li Rusong's furious appearance was very amazing, Xiao Ruxun looked at the soldier's foaming at the mouth, and immediately rushed forward to stop Li Rusong.

"General Li, don't panic, ask clearly!"

Xiao Ruxun directly swung a knife to cut off the collar of the man's clothes, and the man fell to the ground and coughed, Li Rusong staggered back a few steps, bumped into Nurhachi's arms, was supported, gasped and stared at Xiao Ruxun, but did not continue to step forward and mess around.
