After the discussion in the Khan's palace, Li Yongfang's eldest son, Li Yangeng, returned home with heavy steps.

The whole meeting can only be described in three words for him - small transparent.

Since the battle of Zhenjiang Fort and the defeat of his father Li Yongfang to Yang Chengying, the old Khan's trust in his father has dropped significantly.

Basically, it is to defend Phoenix, and it can no longer be mixed with major expeditions.

As soon as I arrived at the house, the housekeeper whispered: "There is an old man who has come to visit." ”

Old friend?

Li Yangeng was stunned at first, and then understood that it was a detailed work sent by the Ming army.

It turned out that Li Yongfang had been secretly in contact with the Ming Dynasty since the time of Wang Huazhen, but no real connection was established. After the battle from Zhenjiang Fort, Li Yongfang felt that Houjin was a little dangerous and should step on two boats.

So he secretly asked Li Yangeng to get in touch with the Ming Dynasty and communicate some information with each other.

For example, in the Battle of Gaizhou, Li Yangeng informed the Ming army through detailed work that Yang Chengying only led more than 1,000 people to the north.

Who would have thought that this was Yang Chengying's trick.

Li Yangeng hurried to the study to meet this "old man".

Dressed as an old vegetable farmer, he skillfully took out a letter in a bamboo tube from the rotten vegetable leaves, and held it respectfully and handed it to Li Yangeng.

"General Ma repeatedly asked the villain to tell General Li that he hoped it would be fulfilled." Sakura whispered.

Li Yangeng was puzzled in his heart, took out the secret letter in the bamboo tube and looked at it, and suddenly realized.

In the letter, Ma Shilong, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, hoped that he would provide information on the garrison from Guangning to Haizhou, and that the Ming army planned to conduct a small-scale combat operation.

It turned out that Governor Wang Xiangqian's porcelain touching report made Ma Shilong and other famous generals of the Western Army very faceless.

If you don't participate, you don't participate, what are you doing with these fancy intestines!

Coincidentally, at this time, Ma Shilong was ordered to garrison Jinzhou as an outpost of Ningyuan City and beware of the Houjin army in Guangning.

In order to save face and show the court that he was worthy of 200,000 internal funds, Ma Shilong planned to use the chicken thief tactics used by the Western army to cut off a few heads and leave.

Coupled with the heads bought from Yang Chengying, they beheaded a few hundred and reported to the imperial court.

After reading the letter, Li Yangeng fell into deep thought.

Before the departure of the Great Baylor, Quang Ninh was very tightly arranged, and the sneak attack not only failed to succeed, but also could lose many horses. The only cases are Gaizhou and Haizhou.

At present, there are no soldiers stationed in Gaizhou, and there are fewer troops in Haizhou, and a large number of soldiers and horses will be stationed in a period of time.

After thinking about it, only the current Yaozhou Station can still succeed in a sneak attack.

"Go back and tell General Ma that Yaozhou Post is stationed with four leaders, and the strength is only three hundred. Let General Ma send troops to sneak attack quickly, and there will be a large number of soldiers stationed in these places when it is late. ”

Li Yangeng whispered.

"What's going on?" Xiaozuo couldn't help but ask.

Yang Cheng responded to the sound of attacking east and west to capture Gaizhou, and almost crippled the red flag. In order to facilitate the transfer of materials in the future, the Great Khan sent Erbeile to lead an army to garrison Gaizhou. If it's late, there's no chance. Li Yangeng said hurriedly.

"Understood."

Xiaozuo hurriedly bowed respectfully, and left quickly with the vegetable basket.

Li Yangeng waited for him to leave, and quickly burned the secret letter.

After sneaking out of the city, he immediately went under the tree to find the fast horse he had hidden, and galloped away.

He arrived in Jinzhou in a day or two and reported the matter to Ma Shilong.

Ma Shilong, whose name is Cangyuan, is a native of Ningxia, and was only twenty-nine years old when he became the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

After receiving the detailed report, Ma Shilong found Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian to discuss the matter.

"Aren't the four leaders of Jianyu Huang Taiji?"

Lu Zhijia said excitedly: "He actually only brought three hundred people to stay in Yaozhou Station, what a godsend." ”

"But why is he there?" Li Chengxian asked puzzled.

"I don't know the specific reason, but Yang Chengying's troops have already withdrawn from Gaizhou, and I heard that the second leader, Amin, will lead troops to garrison Gaizhou."

Ma Shilong speculated: "I think Huang Taiji is here to inquire about information and temporarily live in Yaozhouyi. As soon as Amin arrived with his army, he left there. ”

Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian listened to it and nodded frequently, thinking that it made sense.

"Then our actions should be fast, if we can kill Huang Taiji, it will be much greater than Yang Chengying's credit."

Lu Zhijia stood up excitedly.

Ma Shilong said: "Okay! There were two generals, Lao, who selected 800 elites, half cavalry and half firearms, all of whom rode into the country quickly.

I will send a sailor to pick you up across the Liuhe River, and attack Yaozhou to capture Huang Taiji. The action must be fast! Late, a large army of the enemy came. ”

"The last general commands."

Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian also knew that this move was of great significance, and after retreating, they immediately carried it out.

They carefully selected the elite of the 800 Western Army, promised rewards, and then went straight to Yaozhou Station.

However, they were dumbfounded when they arrived at Liuhe in a hurry.

Because the sailor who had been promised in advance had not arrived for a long time.

They waited for an hour at the ferry, but there was still no sign of the boat.

It was the second half of the night, and it would be dawn in another hour or two.

"General Lu can't wait any longer, in case he is discovered by the enemy, his previous achievements will be wasted."

Li Chengxian urged.

Lu Zhijia hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly sent someone to find a fishing boat to cross the river.

Maybe when he kills Huang Taiji and comes back, the sailor will arrive.

The Ming army worked hard to find six fishing boats.

Lu Zhijia asked the cavalry to cross the river by boat in batches and assemble near the Niangniang Palace near the other side of the river.

At this time, a scene of crying and laughing appeared.

Since most of the Western troops were not familiar with water, they did not know how to steer ships. forcibly dragged the war horses to cross the river in batches, so the other side of the river was like entering a vegetable market, making a lot of noise.

This alarmed the Houjin army of Yaozhouyi.

There is no Huang Taiji at all in Yaozhou Yili, there are only four leaders - Tumu Bulu, Aldai, Mao Hai, and Guangshi.

Tumubulu is the grandson of Nurhachi Liu's grandfather Baoshi, but Nurhachi's relationship with several of his relatives is particularly poor, and if he dies, it is estimated that Nurhachi will not even blink an eyelid.

Hearing the military situation, Tumu Bulu took advantage of the slight light of the sky and led 300 troops to the Liuhe River to intercept the Ming army from crossing the river.

The Ming army was unlucky, and secretly crossed the river in the middle of the night in the dark light, and because they couldn't drive a boat, they only crossed more than 600 people.

Later, the Jin army bluffed and attacked in a big way, and shouts of killing sounded.

The Ming army did not know how many people there were on the other side, and when they landed, they were in chaos, and a large number of soldiers ran into the river in a panic.

"Don't panic, the enemy is only three hundred!"

Lu Zhijia shouted loudly, hoping to stop the soldiers from escaping.

As a result, because the sound was too loud, it was discovered by the Houjin army and shot at the source of the sound.

Li Chengxian was shot directly into a hedgehog.

Lu Zhijia was dragged into the Liuhe River by the defeated Ming army, but because he couldn't swim, he drowned in the river.

In this battle, the Ming army lost more than 400 people and 670 horses.

Sun Chengzong received the report of Ma Shilong's defeat, and knew that the loss was not big, so he did not pursue Ma Shilong's behavior, but just asked him to do a good job of bereavement.

Subsequently, Sun Chengzong, who was the Jiliao Jingluo, reported to the imperial court, informing him of the defeat in this battle, and hoped that Lu Zhijia, who died in the battle, Li Chengxian and others would be compensated.

But what he didn't expect was that this time it would cause an uproar.
