Mang Gurtai, the banner owner of the Eight Banners and the Blue Banner, had a bad relationship with Huang Taiji, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was trying to seize some of the population wealth by the way, he didn't want to work hard for Huang Taiji's so-called grand cause.

Therefore, after following Huang Taiji to march into Monan and attack the border of the Ming Dynasty, the third Belle of the Dajin Kingdom has never liked to attack fortified cities and fight tough battles, and has always thought about how to work hard to preserve and strengthen himself, and consolidate and even expand his position in the Houjin Kingdom.

However, contrary to his own assumption, along the way, when he was with Huang Taiji, whenever there was a task to overcome difficulties, Huang Taiji was always the first to think of him, and he was always the first to let him go.

This time, after dividing the troops again with Huang Taiji under the city of Datong, Mang Gurtai quickly went south to the southeast hinterland of Datong with his men and horses, burning and looting along the way, and the cities that could be captured were captured, and the cities that could not be captured were bypassed, anyway, the defenders in those cities were few and poorly equipped, and there were no cavalry, so they did not dare to go out of the city to pursue.

In this way, Mang Gurtai led the forty Niu Lu Zheng Blue Banner Army, which was no longer fully formed, with the leader of Brain Wen Korqin Oba Khan and the remaining 6,000 people under his command, on the mountain plain between Hunyuan Prefecture and Ulzhou, the troops divided the road, burned and looted, galloped vertically and horizontally, as if entering a no-man's land, majestic in all directions, so unhappy.

In less than ten days, it has successively broken through Hunyuan, Guangling, Lingqiu, Guangchang four places, except for the Ulzhou fortified city is difficult, Mang Gurtai ordered to give up, these prefectures and counties in the southeast of Datong Province, all were trampled under the feet of Jianyu and Mongolian iron cavalry.

When Mang Gurtai led the army to take all the cities that could be taken in this area, he led the army to the Bauhinia Pass, and found that from Wulong Ditch to the Bauhinia Ridge where the Bauhinia Pass is located, as well as the Huangcao Ridge in the north of the Bauhinia Pass, and even on the Wuhui Ridge in the south, there was a majestic and continuous Great Wall, and he was amazed in his heart.

When they entered the pass and went south from the killing of Hukou, Mang Gurtai and others were already very amazed by the majesty of the building structure of the Southern Dynasty and the prosperity of the population and wealth.

First, he was shocked by the abundant manpower, material and financial resources of the Southern Dynasties.

After all, such a siege was simply unimaginable for the Jin Kingdom after the capture of the city at that time.

The so-called side wall of their Jurchens is just a wicker branch inserted along the dividing line or border line, commonly known as the wicker side.

Where is there such labor and wealth to build a city in the mountains and mountains for decades, not many people live in it for more than a hundred years, and it may not be used for the last time?!

When Mang Gurtai personally led the men and horses from Wulonggou to the place not far outside the Bauhinia Pass to observe, he saw that the Guancheng was already full of flags and crowds, and knew that the Bauhinia Pass was already prepared, and he had lost the opportunity, and it was not the way to attack, so he decisively led people to withdraw from the Wulonggou and stationed in the small city of Guangchang more than ten miles west of the Bauhinia Pass.

This Guangchang county is the county seat of Laiyuan, Hebei Province in later generations.

This place is located at the junction of Taihang, Yanshan and Hengshan three mountains, although there is a small plain in the middle, but the surrounding mountains are undulating, the valleys are vertical and horizontal, the population is sparse, and it is not suitable for the army to stay for a long time.

After a day of plundering here, Mang Gurtai was about to gather his army and lead his army away the next morning, when he received a sternly worded order from Huang Taiji.

The person who came to give the order was Aixin Jueluo Balama, who was then the Huangtai Jizheng Yellow Banner Protector and was assigned to Bashiku.

The official position of Bashiku is very small, and he is Niu Lu's real deputy, and there are several Niu Lu who can get Bashiku.

But this Barama, although he is not very old, only about twenty years old, and his position is not high, he is a Bashiku, but his identity is not to be underestimated even by the third Beile Mang Gurtai of the Later Jin Kingdom.

For he was one of the favorite sons of the great Belediashan.

Dai Shan has many sons, the eldest is Yue Tuo, the second is Shuo Tuo, and the third is Sakhalian, these three are born in the original match, and now they are all older, and they are already the titles of Baylor in the Houjin Kingdom, and their status is very high.

But none of these three sons are Dai Shan's liking.

Shuoto, in particular, is even more disgusted by Dai Shan.

When Nuer Hachi was alive, Dai Shan tried to kill him several times, forcing Shuotuo to almost flee to the side of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason behind it is that Dai Shan's stepfamily remarried, and he is extremely disgusted with the sons that Dai Shan was originally destined to him.

And Dai Shan regards his steproom as a treasure and loves him very much.

It is also for this reason that when Nuer Hachi was alive, he let the brothers Yuetuo, Shuotuo, and Sakhalian separate their families from Daishan and set up their own doors.

This is also the reason why Yue Tuo and others were named Baylor relatively early.

And Barama is the son of Daishan and his stepfamily.

Since Dai Shan regards him as the pearl of his palm and the heir to his family business, Huang Taiji naturally takes him with him wherever he goes.

This time, Huang Taiji sent Barama to Mang Gurtai, and without saying anything, Mang Gurtai knew that Huang Taiji was very serious this time, and if he wanted to be fooled, I am afraid he would not be able to fool him.

Ever since he saw Barama and the will of the Khan of Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai's heart was extremely unhappy.

After presenting him with Huang Taiji's letter, Barama also briefly informed him of the situation in the areas of Datong and Xuanfu, especially the situation in front of Juyong Pass.

The focus is, of course, the news that the three fierce generals Yanguli, Dardai, and Turai have not been defeated.

It wasn't until he heard the battle of these Huang Taiji's henchmen that Mang Gurtai's depressed mood was slightly relieved.

But at the thought of storming Bauhinia Pass, Mang Gurtai's gloating mood immediately fell into a trough again.

In the afternoon of the same day, the general of the Zhenglan Banner and the Oba Khan of Nawen Korqin and his subordinates rushed to his tent, introduced to them the intention of Barama, and conveyed the will of Huang Taiji.

The participants included Leng Seng Ji, the minister who assisted in handling the flag affairs under the banner of Zhenglan, Gushan Ezhen one Tunbulu, Meler Ezhen Aibali and Weng Adai, and the two older sons of Mang Gurtai, Guanggon and Epilun, as well as Oba Khan of Brain Wen Korqin, Aduqidar Khantaiji, the right-hand man under Oba Khan, and Badali Taiji, the son of Oba Khan.

After listening to Barama's relays and Huang Taiji's stern orders, these people were all in a heavy mood.

But the Jurchens of this era are strong in their execution, as long as the Great Khan makes up his mind, even if the sword is a mountain and a sea of fire, it must be carried out to the end.

Although Mang Gurtai has a bad relationship with Huang Taiji himself, he has been fighting for half his life, and he is still very resolute in implementing the rules set by the old slave Nuer Hachi.

And this is the reason why Huang Taiji has always been able to tolerate him, and he also has a certain supporter among Jianyu.

Although he also thought that it might be Huang Taiji's fake public and private interests again, and he wanted to use this opportunity to weaken himself, but he also thought that if he really wanted to take the Bauhinia Pass in one fell swoop when Huang Taiji was blocked under Juyong Pass, and approached the Jingshi City of the Ming Kingdom, then in the future, in the Houjin Kingdom, among the Jurchen Eight Banners, who could shake his position?!

In this way, in the afternoon of the same day, Mang Gurtai sometimes resented the sinister Huang Taiji with a heavy heart, and sometimes fantasized about a bright future with a high heart, and issued an order to all the Jurchen and Mongol generals under his command to prepare to storm the Bauhinia Pass.
