At first, Huang Taiji thought that after the Ming Court recovered Liaodong, he would let Zu Dashou be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.

Because in Liaodong, whether it is family power or personal prestige, Zu Dashou is a well-deserved first person.

If Zu Dashou can become the chief soldier, it will be a blessing in misfortune for him.

Because he has a certain understanding of this person, as long as his mink ginseng supply is diligent, Zu Dashou will not be too tight on them. It may be possible to trade privately as before, exchanging its own specialties for necessary daily necessities such as salt and iron pots.

But he was disappointed, and the imperial court handed over all the military command of the huge Liaodong to a young man named Zhu Kezhen, a young man he did not understand.

The old acquaintance Zu Dashou was not only not reused, but seemed to be hollowed out? Although he is still a general soldier, he has to obey Zhu Kezhen's dispatch. Huang Taiji thought his chance had come. secretly sent someone to find Zu Dashou, trying to rebel against him when he was depressed, no matter how much he could give some gifts and build a good relationship, maybe he would be able to use it one day?

But I didn't expect that as soon as the person sent said his intention, Zu Dashou kicked him to the ground, and then pulled out his waist knife and cut off his ear, scolded him and let him go.

also brought back a sentence by the way:

"My ancestor is bright and fair, loyal to the court, if you dare to come again, you will not be spared!"

and immediately reported the matter to Zhu Kezhen.

From childhood to adulthood, Zu Dashou's days have never been so aggrieved.

Not only did the Liaoning General Army not become the commander-in-chief, but the guard post was also abolished. But what made Zu Dashou strange was that his soldiers were still under his command, and not only that, but his brothers, sons and nephews still held important positions in the army.

Zu Dashou was even more scared.

He always felt that this was a trap, as if he had given himself enough conditions for rebellion, just waiting to find a reason to kill himself. But he really didn't think about rebellion.

He is living more and more cautiously, even if Zhu Kezhen, who used to be under him, becomes his boss, he does not dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction.

But I have to admit that Zhu Kezhen's level of military governance is really not much inferior to him, and even surpasses it in some aspects. For example, individual combat effectiveness.

It can be said that he has been in the military camp for so many years, and it is not for nothing that Zhu Kezhen can be compared in terms of force, but there are only a handful. What is even more commendable is that when he fights, he always takes the lead and charges ahead.

If it is just like this, it can only be said that he is a general, but Zhu Kezhen is calm and calm, and from his face, you can never see what anxiety is.

In fact, not only him, but Man Gui and others also admired this young man.

Today, Zhu Kezhen came to Fushun Pass, where Zu Dashou was stationed, to inspect the repair of the damaged city wall.

was already waiting for Zu Dashou in the gate, and as soon as he saw him, he greeted him with a smile on his face and gave a military salute.

"Mr. Zhu."

"General Zu, haven't I said it many times, just tell me to take advantage." Zhu Kezhen smiled and held Zu Dashou.

"That's not good, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority in the army, and you can't mess with the rules."

Zhu Kezhen nodded and looked behind him, where a young man was looking at him with a happy face.

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a while!" This young man is none other than Wu Sangui.

"Yes, Mr. Zhu! It's been almost two or three months! When are you going to transfer me to you? Just be a soldier for you! ”

"Uncle! What to say! Nothing big or small! ”

Seeing this, Zu Dashou frowned and reprimanded.

He really can't figure it out, and he doesn't know what ecstasy Zhu Kezhen poured into his nephew, and he worships Zhu Kezhen so much that he talks about Brother Zhu all day long!

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Kezhen waved her hand. "Uncle, you just exercise a lot at your uncle's place, he has led soldiers for half his life, he has more experience than me, you can learn more. If there is a war in the future, I will transfer you to my side again!" ”

"Hey! Good! ”

Wu Sangui looked surprised, and finally got a happy word from Zhu Kezhen.

Zhu Kezhen glanced up at the city wall, where workers were working up and down.

"Commander, let's go to the city wall and take a look. The weather is hot right now, and the construction is progressing quickly. The pouring city wall will initially solidify in two or three hours, but it will take about four or five days for the interior to completely solidify. ”

Zu Dashou led the way as he spoke, and came to the city wall.

Zhu Kezhen stood on the city wall and watched the workers who were working, and because of the hot weather, these workers were sweating one by one.

"The workers must not be careless about their food and lodging, and the governor attaches great importance to these."

"Yes."

"Recently, Jiannu didn't have Koubian, right?"

"No, Jiannu is very honest these days."

"That's good."

Zhu Kezhen looked around again, then stood on the city wall and looked in the direction of the Raven Pass, waiting for news from there.

A few days ago, he found out a detailed work arranged by Huang Taiji in the Guan, but he didn't say anything, and second, he secretly discussed a plan with Wang Laipin.

He deliberately inspected Fushun Pass in the name of checking the progress of the repair of the city wall, and took away 10,000 soldiers from Yahu Pass, leaving only 3,000 soldiers to defend. deliberately revealed the news to this detail.

Hosaku, who had been hiding in the shadows, felt that this was an opportunity, so he quietly passed the news to Hetuala, who was not far from the Raven Pass, through the channel he operated.

The person who connected with him reported to Aobai as soon as possible, and Aobai also felt that this was a good opportunity to destroy the living force of the Ming army, and immediately asked Huang Taiji to lead his troops to attack Yahu Pass.

It's not that they haven't fought in Yahu Pass, but Zhu Kezhen is very tough every time, and he leads his troops out of the city to meet them every time. As a result, due to the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, no large-scale fighting broke out.

This Ao Bai is no exception, I just want to take advantage of Zhu Kezhen's absence to see if I can take advantage of it.

Ao Bai came to the outside of the Raven Pass with three thousand cavalry, and ran around the city as before, shouting loudly for the king to come and fight.

Wang Lai, as a deputy general, was responsible for staying at the Yahu Pass this time, and heard Ao Bai and others shouting outside the pass. But he didn't go into battle immediately, according to Zhu Kezhen's consistent strategy, since he had an advantage in troops, he would definitely send soldiers to meet him. Sometimes it's a multi-class battle formation, sometimes it's a direct cavalry hedge.

The purpose is to train the soldiers, so that the soldiers under his command have enough psychological advantages when facing Jiannu.

In fact, the effect is really good, and they found that the current Jiannu is really not as strong as the combat effectiveness of the past. At this time, Ao Bai called for battle outside the pass, Wang Lai hired the turtle and couldn't shrink, and the soldiers under him were a little angry and applied for the battle.

"There's no rush. Anyway, their cavalry did not dare to come close to the range of our artillery. Just let them shout and drag on a little longer. Jin Renzhi, you ordered the soldiers in the city to curse them. ”

"Yes."

Kim In-ji was ordered to go out. After a while, a uniform shouting and scolding came to mind on the city wall.

Ao Bai shouted and cursed outside the pass for nearly two quarters of an hour, his mouth was dry, and he still did not see the Ming army out of the city. By this time, he had determined that there should not be many defenders in the city. Otherwise, Wang Laipin, who has always loved to fight, would not be so honest.

Ao Bai was a little worried, he didn't bring engineering equipment and infantry, and he couldn't attack the city at all. The Ming army could not shrink again. Seeing that there was no chance, Ao Bai planned to retreat. It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before, and it can't be fought back. Anyway, Hetuara is only a few dozen miles here, and it only takes a few hours to go back and forth, so he should come out to practice riding.

Ao Bai, who was about to give an order, suddenly stared at him and saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the Raven Pass. Ao Bai was startled, scolded for a long time and didn't come out, and he was about to leave and came out again? Could it be that Zhu Kezhen is back?

Just as he was about to give the order to retreat, the city gate was up again, and Ao Bai looked at the small group of cavalry outside the pass.

Happy.

This is a thousand? Or eight hundred?

Looking at a group of cavalry rushing towards him, Ao Bai gave the order to attack, and the three thousand Jiannu cavalry rushed towards the other party.

Since you are sent to death, it will be done for you.

Ao Bai took the lead and rushed towards the other side with the artillery, and the two sides got closer and closer. Ao Bai had already seen the face of the opposing general.

Nobody.

Ao Bai smiled contemptuously, and picked up the horse fork to meet him, ready to stab the opponent's general to death first.

Ten steps, five steps, three steps, Ao Bai raised the horse fork in his hand and stabbed it out, straight to the opponent's chest. He seemed to have seen the scene when the horse's fork passed through the opponent's chest, and there were not many Ming generals who could stop his powerful stab.

But Ao Bai was disappointed.

I saw that the other party waved the horse lance in his hand as if he was writing lightly, and directly swung his horse fork. When the weapons collided, Aobai's hands were a little numb.

Then the other party's horse lance flashed coldly, and stabbed at his neck.

Ao Bai didn't dare to be careless, dodged sideways, and the war horses were staggered, and it was already a round of fighting.

Then the two of them fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, and they were evenly matched.

Ao Bai wanted to scold his mother.

Where the hell did such a powerful character come from!

"Who are you?"
