In that year, Li Yongfang surrendered to Nurhachi. Nurhachi immediately gave him his favorite little daughter as a sign of his faith. And this Li Yongfang also lived up to expectations and gave Nurhachi a lot of good ideas. The Jurchens' tactics of fighting tough battles in the past have been transformed into skillful battles.

If careful people count the losses of Nurhachi's important battles in his life, they will find that before Li Yongfang surrendered, Nurhachi also won a hundred battles, but he often won in battles, and his own losses after the war were very large.

After Li Yongfang surrendered, Nurhachi's tactics underwent a major change, and he began to change from force to skill. The most obvious difference is in the use room. Before, Nurhachi fought hardly in detail. But after that, he used meticulous work in almost every battle. Moreover, the latent role of these means in the battle is getting bigger and bigger, so that although the battle is getting bigger and bigger, the losses of the Jurchens are getting smaller and smaller.

And this fundamental change, in the final analysis, is due to Li Yongfang.

Therefore, although Li Yongfang is a Han Chinese, he is more trusted and valued by Nurhachi than many Jurchens. Li Yongfang's role in Nurhachi now is equivalent to Liu Bowen's role in Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

Yu Yuqian also knew the status of this person that she did not rush out.

She asked Xiaoyu to let the puppy go. The puppy really walked to the door of the Li Mansion and couldn't wander.

At this time, a housekeeper at the gate of the Li Mansion saw that the puppy was actually standing in front of their door and was about to step forward to drive the dog, but Xiaoyu hurriedly summoned and threw a bone at it. The dog quickly turned around and ran towards Xiaoyu.

"That guy must have gone in." Jiuniang whispered in Yu Yuqian's ear. "What should I do?"

Yu Yuqian pulled a few people into the alley and hid themselves so that the family members of the Li Mansion would not see it, and then said to everyone, "It seems that this person is not here for us to smell incense." As for who he is and why he entered the Li Mansion, I can't guess.

Since he's not here for us, we don't have to be so nervous. Jiu Niang, you take them back first! I'm going to report this to Ah Yue. ”

After speaking, Yu Yuqian left everyone behind and walked towards the fine camp alone.

Intuition told her that this person from Hexi was definitely not simple. As the small leader of the fine work camp, Ah Yue has always been quite good to her. The remuneration in all aspects is also quite high. But she never once provided them with valuable information. From the bottom of her heart, Yu Yuqian also felt a little uncomfortable. Therefore, she decided to tell Ah Yue about her discovery this time.

Because this matter involved Li Yongfang, Yu Yuqian knew that it was inconvenient for her to investigate further. All she had to do was tell Ah Yue what she had seen.

Ah Yue listened to Yu Yuqian's words, and really attached great importance to it. He asked Yu Yuqian to continue to spy on the Li Mansion to see who the two men from Liaoxi would connect with. Then he hurried to Nurhachi.

That night, Nurhachi summoned his men to a feast. Li Yongfang was also called.

This was a common thing, and Nurhachi usually liked to summon his men to accompany him to a feast. Everyone often chatted about the next development of the Jurchens while drinking, and the atmosphere was also very relaxed.

However, this time was different, as soon as Li Yongfang entered the compound where Nurhachi lived, he felt a difference in the atmosphere. The courtyard was quiet, and I couldn't hear the loud noises of the Jurchen men in the past. Invited to join him today are only the Great Khan's closest confidants, the four great beylers - Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.

Li Yongfang immediately associated this anomaly with himself. It seems that his secret meeting with the man was already known to the Great Khan. I'm afraid this feast is just an excuse. Li Yongfang has always had a keen sense of smell in politics.

Li Yongfang's guess was right. When Nurhachi listened to Ah Yue's report, he summoned his most trusted four Beylers as soon as possible. These four people are not only his sons and nephews, but also his most important brains. In the past, he relied on Li Yongfang to give him ideas in many things, but now that Li Yongfang is suspected of rebellion, of course he can only consult with the four major Baylors.

After the four Baylors listened to Ah Yue's report, Mang Gurtai scolded Li Yongfang for being ungrateful on the spot, and claimed that he would lead troops to cut Li Yongfang down.

Nurhachi couldn't help frowning when he heard Mang Gurtai's shout, and his gaze swept to the other three.

Daishan and Amin bowed their heads at the same time. Because they know too well the role of Li Yongfang in the Jurchens, and they also know the status of this Li Yongfang in the heart of the Great Khan. Under the current unclear situation, they chose to remain silent at the same time, which is equivalent to choosing to protect themselves.

"It's better to use the Great Khan's banquet as an excuse to summon Li Yongfang first. When he comes, none of us will mention this matter, just pretend that we don't know anything, and see if he will be honest with us. If he confesses, it means that he has no intention of betraying the Great Khan, and we can continue to use him, if he doesn't take the initiative to say it, it means that he already has the heart to betray the Great Khan.

Then, we will arrest him first, and then catch the Ming Dynasty's fine work and torture him. Huang Taiji saw that his father Khan threw a questioning look at him, and hurriedly said.

Nurhachi nodded with satisfaction at Huang Taiji. "Okay, just do what the old man says!"

After Li Yongfang entered the hall, he saw that the four major Baylors were all sitting in their seats solemnly, and no one took the initiative to greet him, so he was even more convinced that today's matter must have been leaked.

So, without waiting for Nurhachi to speak, Li Yongfang knelt down in front of him first, and then shouted to Nurhachi, "Yongfang, congratulations to the Great Khan!" ”

Nurhachi was slightly stunned, "Yongfang doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly!"

You say congratulations to me, but you don't know where the joy comes from? ”

Li Yongfang then straightened his clothes and stood up, and then said to Nurha, "Didn't the Great Khan have been worrying about how to expand westward and conquer Quang Ninh before?" Now, Heaven has sent a great opportunity to the Great Khan. ”

When Nurhachi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Oh! Tell me about it. ”

Li Yongfang saw that Nurhachi was aroused by himself, so he said, "Yongfang saw a person today. At this time, it was the current governor of Guangning, Wang Huazhen's confidant, Sun Degong. Sun Degong disguised himself and came to Liaoyang City to see me secretly, did the Great Khan ever think of what he was going to do?

When Nurhachi heard that the person who came to see Li Yongfang was Sun Degong, he couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be indifferent. "Tell me about it!"

"This Sun Degong is here to plot against me. When he came to see me, he told me that their governor had obtained permission from the imperial court to requisition 100,000 elite troops from the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to sweep away our Jurchens in one fell swoop. ”

When Nurhachi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "This Wang Huazhen is really crazy enough!" Back then, Yang Hao led an army of 130,000, as well as the four famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, don't you want to say that you will wipe us out in one fell swoop! And what the result. I want to see how he Wang Huazhen used an army of 100,000 to wipe me down! ”

When the other four Baylors heard this, they all burst out laughing. Only Huang Taiji was silent. After everyone laughed, Huang Taiji said to Nurha Equator with a solemn face, "Great Khan, this Wang Huazhen is not crazy, he has something to rely on!" ”

When Nurhachi heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Li Yongfang, and immediately understood the meaning of Huang Taiji's words in his heart. He had to admit that Huang Taiji's words were not alarmist, if Wang Huazhen really secretly planned against Li Jifang, with Li Yongfang's understanding of their Jurchens, it was still possible to defeat them quickly in the short term.

Through his interactions with Li Yongfang in the past few years, Nurhachi has become more and more aware that no matter how brave the team is, it may become vulnerable under the tricks of these insidious and vicious Han people.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped up in Nurhachi's heart - to kill Li Yongfang. Because he's too smart. However, this thought only popped up for a moment, and then he forced it down again. Because he has not yet conquered the entire Liaodong, he will rely on Li Yongfang more in the future. If you kill him now, although there is no danger of being rebelled by Wang Huazhen, but at the same time, you will lose the opportunity to fight back.

Thinking of this, Nurhachi's face tightened, but his eyes softened a lot. He said to Li Yongfang, "Yongfang! Sit, sit down and talk. ”
