Zhao Yuanliang is Xiong Tingbi's confidant and is among those who were suppressed by Wang Huazhen.

However, Wang Huazhen did not go too far.

only demoted Zhao Yuanliang to Gaizhouwei, and reduced some food supplies.

A lot of people think that's it, and it's going to pass soon.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanliang suddenly rebelled and took refuge in Houjin.

This time he roasted Xiong Tingbi's house on the fire, forcing him to also issue a warrant to Yang Chengying to kill Zhao Yuanliang.

The calm of the lake was completely broken, and the drums of war were resounded in the land of Liaodong.

At dusk, there were bursts of angry cheers from the Gaizhou Commanding Envoy's Mansion.

"What? Another batch of grain has been robbed by bandits! ”

"What kind of thief is so daring?"

Zhao Yuanliang, the commander of Gaizhou and the general of the staff, turned pale and jumped like thunder.

In the past few days, the soldiers who were sent out to collect grain were frequently raided by bandits, and a large amount of grain was lost.

This batch of grain was snatched from the mouths of the people by himself.

Due to the large-scale drought in eastern Liaoning this summer and the heavy rains for two consecutive months, the grain harvest failed or even failed.

It was very difficult to collect rations, and the army was already running out of food.

He had already secretly contacted Li Yongfang to make an appointment with Neiying, planning to take the opportunity to attack Haizhou when Houjin attacked Liaoyang and cut off the retreat of the Ming army in Liaoyang.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Zhao Yuanliang made two preparations. If the attack on Haizhou is unsuccessful, the cage city will be fought, and wait for the arrival of Houjin reinforcements.

Defending the city needs grain and grass, so he ruthlessly snatches grain from the mouths of the people.

I didn't expect to encounter this situation as soon as the plan began.

Looking at the two generals who knelt on the ground and were responsible for escorting grain and grass, Zhao Yuanliang stepped forward angrily and kicked the two to the ground.

"Two useless things, such a little thing can't be done!"

After saying that, Zhao Yuanliang drew his sword and raised his sword to slash.

The two of them were so frightened that they didn't fold their heads and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "General, for the sake of us who have followed the general for many years, spare my life!" ”

The generals pleaded for the two.

In the midst of pleading and begging for mercy, Zhao Yuanliang's anger gradually subsided, put away his sword, returned to his seat, and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the two of you who have followed the general for many years and have a lot of merit, spare your lives." ”

"General Xie's grace not to kill." The two were busy kowtowing.

Zhao Yuanliang asked them carefully about how they were robbed, and the doubts on his face became stronger and stronger.

The two pretended to be bandits and robbed the grain of the neighboring state, and were ambushed by the bandits during the escort.

The two immediately counterattacked, one guarding the grain and grass, and the other leading the army to chase after them.

The one who chased it, but never caught up.

I didn't expect it to be a plan to "divert the tiger from the mountain".

When the thieves returned, they found that all the soldiers guarding the grain and grass had been killed, and the men who were transporting the grain and grass had fled.

As for the generals who were in charge of guarding the grain and grass, they were knocked unconscious and tied to a tree.

"Is this really a bandit?" Zhao Yuanliang frowned, "It's too strange to be proficient in using strategies and being able to advance and retreat freely." ”

The knocked out general said: "My subordinates see that those thieves are all in tattered clothes and full of foul language. Oh yes. They also have a lot of respect for a 'one-eyed dragon'. ”

In the land of Liaodong, which is full of flames, it is not strange that a large number of bandits appear.

After listening to the descriptions of the two subordinates, Zhao Yuanliang was sure that this gang of people who robbed grain and grass were indeed bandits.

"The food grabbing actually grabbed my head, I'll let you eat!"

Zhao Yuanliang had a plan, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

After talking to himself, he said to the staff officers beside him: "Hurry up and send a messenger to implore the Great Khan to send troops to attack Liaoyang as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"Yes, General." The staff officer replied.

The envoy left Gaizhou overnight, skillfully avoided the key defense areas of the Ming army, and came to Shenyang City in Houjin.

In the face of the envoy's request and Zhao Yuanliang's letter, Nurhachi, who was sitting on the throne, was silent on his face.

"Go back and tell General Zhao that Ben Khan will send troops in advance, please rest assured."

After Nurhachi finished speaking, he threw the letter directly into the brazier.

"Xie Da Khan, the villain retires."

Zhao Yuanliang's envoy respectfully retreated.

Li Yongfang, who brought the envoy to Nurhachi, asked: "Great Khan, if it is cold today, is it appropriate to use troops at this time?" ”

"With soldiers? Hum! ”

Nurhachi put his hand on the brazier and roasted, "They thought that Ben Khan would take the opportunity to use soldiers, but Ben Khan didn't use soldiers. ”

Li Yongfang was stunned and said hurriedly: "Great Khan, you promised Zhao Yuanliang." ”

"Promise?" Nurhachi said lightly, "Ben Khan only said that he would send troops in advance, but he didn't say a date." ”

"Uh......" Li Yongfang had expected that the old Khan King was unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable.

Nurhachi raised his head and only glanced at Li Yongfang, and he could see what he was thinking.

"Listen, the initiative in this battle is completely mine, I can do whatever I want! Liaoyang is at my fingertips, and the key is the next strategy. ”

Nurhachi got up and walked towards Li Yongfang, saying, "We must disturb the confidence of the Ming army to the greatest extent and destroy their fighting spirit." So that their friends could not be trusted, and their comrades did not dare to be gullible, Cai Jun wiped out the Liaodong Ming army in one fell swoop. ”

Regarding the words of the old Khan King, Li Yongfang has a deep understanding.

With a large number of detailed works, the old Khan learned about the contradiction between Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi, and further understood the contradiction between Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi's generals in Liaodong.

found a breakthrough from it, Zhao Yuanliang.

He himself was very close to Liaoyang and was regarded as a threat by Wang Huazhen. is not as deep-rooted and cunning as Yang Chengying.

In addition, Zhao Yuanliang's greed for military salaries for his family was mastered by Nurhachi.

A planting plan against Zhao Yuanliang was brewing.

Let Wang Huazhen first grasp the evidence of Zhao Yuanliang's greed for military salaries.

then used the staff officers placed next to Zhao Yuanliang to tell Zhao Yuanliang about it.

Taking advantage of Zhao Yuanliang's anxiety, the staff officer came forward to persuade Zhao Yuanliang to contact Li Yongfang.

Moreover, the reason for contact was only to help him fill the hole in the military salary and avoid Wang Huazhen's pursuit.

Zhao Yuanliang was really fooled and communicated with Li Yongfang.

However, the letters they exchanged were deliberately leaked to Wang Huazhen by Nurhachi's faction, and then told Zhao Yuanliang the news of the leaked letters.

forced Zhao Yuanliang into a corner, so he could only refrain from taking refuge in Houjin.

A set of combination punches down, Liaoyang's rear was unstable.

Nurhachi only needs to sit and watch the success or failure, and then use the elite army to recuperate, he can easily defeat the Ming army that has just quelled the rebellion in Gaizhou.

Even if it can't, it will sow the seeds of distrust among the generals of the Ming army.

Especially the Ming generals who are trusted by Xiong Tingbi will think that this is Wang Huazhen's trick, the purpose is to eliminate them, Xiong Tingbi's cronies.

As for whether Zhao Yuanliang is alive or dead, it is not in Nurhachi's consideration.

"Old Khan, in case...... The slave said that it was just in case, Wang Huazhen didn't use the people of the headquarters, but transferred Yang Chengying from Jinzhou and asked him to deal with Zhao Yuanliang, what should I do? ”

Li Yongfang saw the appearance of the old Khan Wang Chengzhu in his chest, and respectfully reminded him.

"Zhao Yuanliang has hundreds of subordinates, and Yang Chengying has no combat power at all except for the three hundred tiger brigades given by Yuan Yingtai."

Nurhachi said confidently.

It has long been revealed that the soldiers under Yang Chengying's command only practice walking and running every day, and do not practice killing skills.

Can you rely on this to defeat Zhao Yuanliang's well-trained family? Joke!
