The troops going north were led by Nuer Hachi himself, with An Feiyangu as the deputy general and Wang Qinian as the staff officer, commanding 800 standing troops, 100 cowardly Xue troops and 1,000 auxiliary armies. Yarhaqi was temporarily transferred back to Hetuara to guard the rear. Li Sicheng accompanied the army and contacted Li Rumei in Kuandian.

When you arrive at the border of the six forts of Kuandian, the troops put away their weapons and flags, and since they acquiesce to your crossing, you must also express your expression. Li Sicheng accompanied Nuer Hachi to Kuandian, and Anfeiyangu led the troops to pass quickly, crossed the border and camped to wait.

What Li Sicheng didn't expect was that it was his cousin Li Sigong who was waiting at the gate of Kuandian City. Li Sigong is the concubine of his uncle Li Rusong, and the situation is similar to Li Sicheng, and he is not welcomed in the Li Mansion. Due to the sympathy of the same disease, the two cousins have a good relationship with Li Rumei (apocryphal), who is also a concubine. Li Sicheng really didn't expect Li Sigong to follow Li Rumei to Kuandian.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and their eyes were red. But how to say it is still public and private, Li Sigong came over to greet the uncle of the Tong family first, greeted him, and took the guests into the city and went straight to the official office.

The official office has already set up a banquet and waited. Li Rumei is also very disgusted with her father's killing of Nu'er Hachi's father and ancestor, Jue Chang'an and Takshi father and son are actually very loyal to the imperial court, but Nikon Wailan often causes some trouble. What is it that you kill a faithful man without rewarding him?! Therefore, when the Nuer Hachi brothers and sisters were under house arrest, he also took care of the four brothers and sisters, and the relationship was okay.

When the two men met, there was nothing crooked, the bear hugged them, ate and drank at the table, and the Li Sicheng brothers also accompanied them at the table.

After three rounds of drinking, she looked at Li Sigong who was slapping her eyes beside her, and Li Rumei wiped her mouth with her big hand: "Brother Tong, brother, I have something I want to ask you." "Brothers, have something to say!"

"You also know that I and Sicheng, Sigong, and my thinking are all concubines, and they are not treated well by my father, if there are no other cronies to choose from this time, it will not be my turn to guard Kuandian. As for me, I still have to listen to my father, but Sigong wants to break through. Brother Tong, what about you, I am optimistic about you, so I plan to let Sigong go to you, and if you think a little bigger in the future, you will also go there. I don't know if Brother Tong is willing or not? ”

Nuer Hachizheng lacks civil officials, and the Li brothers were born in Jiangmen, so it is no problem to write and settle accounts, and it is okay to lead soldiers. Giving your child to yourself is also a sign of trust. A good relationship with Li Rumeila is very beneficial to the development of Jianzhou. "If the relationship is good, my brother will hand over Sigong to me Tong Da, if I have a bite to eat, I won't let the child go hungry!"

Li Sigong listened to Nuer Hachi's consent, and hurriedly got up to salute and thank you, and also confirmed the relationship between the guest and the host.

Everyone talks about good things, and there is nothing left to worry about, so let go of eating and drinking.

After eating and drinking, it was time to leave, Li Rumei and Nuer Hachi were there again. Two big men are inseparable there, and if there is a modern person, it must have goosebumps.

Li Sigong had already prepared his bags and was waiting beside him, and he also brought a few personal soldiers and servants sent by Li Rumei. Li Sicheng saw it in his eyes, and the ghost idea came to his heart again.

In October, on the banks of the Yalu River, it had been more than two months since the Jurchen horse thieves were abusing the border, Pyongyang Province in Pyongan West Province and Yongbian Dadu Protectorate in Pyongan East Province, many county towns were breached, a large number of young people were plundered, and the treasury was emptied. After the horse thieves, only ruins and ruins were left, and the old and weak were sick and disabled.

Li Hao in Gyeongbokgung Palace in Hanyang was very angry: Lao Tzu has been on the throne for so long, and he has never touched such a thing! Li Hao was angry, and the consequences were very serious: he ordered the Pyongyang Mansion of Pyongan West Province and the Yongbian Dadu Protectorate of Pyongan West Province to eliminate the Jurchen horse thieves within a month! The letter from each family to the clansmen stationed at the border said that they should also catch a few Jurchen horse thieves so that they could protest to the Ming Kingdom.

Pyongyang Prefecture in Pyongan West Province and Yongbyon Metropolitan Protectorate in Pyongan East Province hurriedly dispatched troops and assembled "heavy troops" to deploy troops to the border. The border is very long, the military equipment has been abandoned for many years, and there are only 5 or 6,000 soldiers, and in front of the Jurchen horse thieves led by the Yalu River tribesmen, they are simply a sieve and full of loopholes. There were several times when they caught up with the Jurchen horse thieves, and dozens of horse troops were not enough for the horse thieves to fill their teeth.

The Li Dynasty rarely learned everything from the Ming Dynasty, but in military affairs, it was the former Song Dynasty's system of literati governing the army and the separation of soldiers and generals, with no fixed generals and no fixed soldiers, similar to the reserve army that served in turns, and was not a reserve army. As we all know, these systems in the former Song Dynasty, even if they did what Yue Fei said, "civil officials are not greedy for money, and military attaches are not afraid of death", in the end, civilian officials were blindly commanding, resulting in a rapid decline in the army's combat effectiveness, until the final destruction of Yashan.

The author himself is a descendant of King Qin's troops in the Battle of Yashan, whenever he sees "the dark water of Yunlow Ridge is vast, this is the ancient battlefield of Yamen." The shadow of the sail is vaguely open, and the sound of the waves is like fighting jackals. Hardship has not been planned, and generosity is still a hundred generations of light. 200,000 people were martyred, and Yinhu has Yu Xiang ("Yamen Nostalgia", author: Tian Han)" poem monument, and I felt a deep touch in my soul. If 200,000 people are a little bloody, they will also pile 20,000 troops to death! What's more, there are only 1,000 Mongolian soldiers inside!

The envoys of Pyongyang and Yongbian were anxious and came up with a plan to concentrate the remaining young men and money and grain on the border in Jiangxi County, where the city wall was not damaged, and ambush the army nearby, waiting for the Jurchen horse thieves to be deceived.

The two envoys were proudly waiting for the horse thieves to take the bait, but there was bad news that a large number of Jurchen horse thieves had driven straight into Pyongyang Province. 500 cavalry, plus thousands of liberated, well-fed Yalu Jiangbu Jurchen is young and strong, and the momentum is huge. The main forces of the eastern and western provinces of Ping'an were concentrated in Jiangxi County, and the rest of the province was basically undefended, and Shulhaqi attacked all the way to the outskirts of Pyongyang Province.

When the scouts found out that the stick army was desperately rushing to Pyongyang, and then the old trick was repeated, driving the captured soldiers of the Chao * Xianxiang to serve, escorting the captured civilians, dragging the captured carts, loading them with supplies, and retreating leisurely. By the time the Stick Army arrived in Pyongyang, the retreating team had already gone a long way.

No way! We must not let the Jurchen thieves escape like this! So under the strong orders of the two princes, the stick army, which was already too tired, turned around and continued to pursue.

The Jurchen thieves' team was obviously in front, and the sergeants of the Zhenfu camp just couldn't catch up, and there were constant harassment by rangers along the way, and the Jurchen horse thieves also raided from time to time, and when they chased to the border, there were only more than 3,000 "beggars" left in the team of 4 or 5,000 people.

Catching up, the pacification camp sped up to catch up. "Stop! This is the border of the Ming Dynasty, and the exiles of the vassal countries are not allowed to cross the border, and those who violate it will be killed! "Yes, they have all become outcasts.

Looking at the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom who didn't know where they came from, the helmets were bright and the armor was bright and murderous, and they really deserved to be the heavenly soldiers! Look at yourself again, it's really similar to the appearance of an outcast.

"Which general of the Ming Kingdom is on the other side? We are in the camp of Xian'an Road, tracking the Jurchen thief Kou here, and looking at Haihan. I have an official seal here, and I am definitely not an outcast! The pacification envoy hurriedly took out the official seal and flag.

"We were sent by the Liaodong General Military Office to clear out the Jurchen horse thieves, and we also chased them here, but fortunately, we caught these horse thieves! Eh~ You are too poor to be so poor that you have even become a homeless envoy. The young general who led the Ming army checked the seals, looked at the "beggars" and sighed.

"The Heavenly Empire's official Rongyu, these Jurchens, we have to arrest them back!" Looking at the Jurchens who were tied up, the pacification envoy argued. The veterans in the team found that the Jurchens were loosely tied, and they were still giggling there, without any awareness of being caught. More things are better than less things, and no one said anything when they found the problem.

"Then you wait, we'll interrogate and turn around and give you an answer." The little general of the Celestial Empire is still reasonable.

In the evening, the Ming army sent the heads of more than 100 Jurchens, saying that they had been found out that they were the confluence of two Jurchen horse thieves. In that case, let's divide half of the heads into reports to you, and we will also take the rest of the heads back and report them.

The envoy took a look at it, the money rat tail, the gap between the teeth was slightly wider, and the face was hideous, yes, it was the head of the Jurchens, and he could make a difference, and he happily ran to the nearby county seat overnight. The veterans were strange: this head was not fresh, and it was still nitrated. Again, no one said it.

In the rear camp of the Ming army, Shuerhaqi and Li Sigong were drinking. "Xiao Gong, where did you come from so many Jurchen heads, it can't be ......" "How could it be! It was Uncle Tong's head cut in the north, and they were all those who did not obey discipline, and they were just used. If you take the head of the court, it will be difficult to complain to the court. ”

"Such a ghost idea, it must have been Xiao Cheng who came up with it! This kid doesn't know how his head grows, so many ghost ideas. Hahaha, drink ......"
