It has been a whole night since Li Rubai was poisoned, but now the Ming army stationed in Qinghe Fort is still in chaos.

He Shixian, the deputy commander of the Eastern Route Army and the chief soldier, said: "The sudden poisoning of the marshal must have been done by the spies in Jianzhou, the purpose of which was to delay the advance of our troops and finally destroy our plan to encircle and suppress on all four routes. At this time, the marshal can continue to stay in Qinghe Fort to recuperate, and the general, as the deputy marshal, will continue to attack as the leader of the army, so as not to spoil the plan of encircling and suppressing Hetuala. ”

Although what He Shixian said is not unreasonable, this is obviously an attempt to seize power. Although after Li Chengliang's death, the Li family in Liaodong has long been different. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after all, the Li family has been in Liaodong for forty years, and almost all the senior generals in Liaozhen have been raised by him.

At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Li Huaizhong, the general of Yizhou, although the official position of the general is not very high, but after all, he is the eldest son of the coach Li Rubai, and his opinion at this time also represents Li Rubai.

Li Huaizhong, who is in his forties, has no experience in independently commanding the army, but he is from a family of Liaodong generals, so it is naturally impossible for He Shixian to take the opportunity to seize military power, so he said: "Although the marshal is poisoned now, his life is not in serious trouble, and I believe he will be cured soon." However, what General Soldier He said is not unreasonable, if our army has been standing still, so it delays the fighter, it will definitely be punished by the imperial court. ”

"It is better to have General He lead the headquarters of 5,000 soldiers and horses to the east of the Yahu Pass, which is not far from Hetuala, and it is also convenient for our army to meet several other armies, which can be described as advancing and retreating freely. I wonder what Yan Jianjun thinks? ”

Yan Mingtai, the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, the 46-year-old he is now serving as the supervisor of the Southern Route Army as a servant of Liaodong, although he is a civilian official, but he is a rare person who knows the soldiers in the supervision of the army; I have also been in Liaodong for a long time, and I know the thoughts of these Liaozhen generals very clearly.

Although he was very worried about the slow progress of the Southern Route Army, he knew very well that even with his own support, He Shixian would not be able to obtain the command of the whole army, and Li Huaizhong's proposal was quite pertinent.

So he said: "Then there is General Lao He leading his troops into the Yahu Pass, be careful, don't fall for the tricks of these prisoners, if there is a situation, this prison army will inform you in time." ”

Yan Mingtai's words disappointed He Shixian, without the support of this prison army, it would be difficult for him to get the command power, and after receiving the order, he led his troops and horses to set off towards the Yahu Pass.

At this time, Li Xianzhong pounded some reed roots into juice and fed Li Rubai in person. In the Ming Dynasty, which ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, his actions undoubtedly won the favor of many Li family soldiers and generals.

Everyone praised one after another: "The marshal really didn't hurt the young general in vain, this filial piety is really rare." ”

Li Sanshun even pointed to the head on the side and said: "The young general is really dead to find an antidote for the marshal this time, we encountered a large number of sieges from Jianzhou Tartars, and cut off 39 of our heads alone, and also caught 1 alive." ”

Everyone scolded one after another: "These Jianzhou Tartars not only poisoned and assassinated the marshal, but also plotted against the young general to prevent us from finding an antidote for the marshal, it is really hateful, and when they break through Hetuala, they must all be broken into pieces!" ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong saw his father Li Rubai up close for the first time, and saw an old man with white hair lying on the bed, his face was gray, his lips were dark purple, and it was obvious that there were some symptoms of poisoning. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of murder between his eyebrows, who would have thought that this wrinkled drooping old man would actually be the commander of the Southern Route Army of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Li Rubai is 66 years old, and since the Korean conquest of the Japanese, due to the suppression of the Li family by the Ming Dynasty, he has been idle at home for nearly 20 years. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Hao really had no generals available in his hands, and wanted to use the Li family to suppress the generals of Liaodong, I am afraid that he would never have the opportunity to embark on the journey again in this life.

In fact, it's not just Li Rubai, the commander of the East Route Army, Liu Wei, is also 61 years old, although the birth dates of the two are not recorded in the history books of Juniper and Marin, but based on their qualifications, they are not a few years old even if they are not 60.

This illustrates a cruel reality, the Ming Dynasty, which once had stars like clouds, has gradually withered after experiencing the "Three Great Expeditions of Wanli", but there are not many outstanding young generals who have emerged. If history has not changed, then after "Salhu", the last generals of the Ming Dynasty will also fall completely.

On the other hand, on the Houjin side, although Nurhachi is also 60 years old this year, there are many stars in their second generation, and most of them are now in their twenties and thirties, and these people can still fight for Houjin for decades.

At this time, Daming, just like Li Rubai, is a dying old man, and in the face of a young and strong posterity like Houjin, the situation is really not optimistic.

Soon after, the symptoms of Li Rubai's poisoning had basically disappeared, and although his body was still relatively weak, he could already walk slowly.

Knowing that it was Li Xianzhong who detoxified himself, he was also very happy, it seems that he usually doesn't hurt this kid in vain.

However, the next news surprised him, and the Ming army led by Juniper was likely to have been wiped out near Salhu.

He muttered to himself: "Du's madman is actually dead, how is this possible?" The Western Route Army led by him had 30,000 men, and was the most elite of the four routes. ”

When he saw Hazia, he had an incredible expression, and hurriedly said, "Brother Dong, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so young?" ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong finally noticed Hazia who took off her mask, this is a face with a qiong nose and cherry lips, eyebrows like distant mountains, bright and deep eyes, as clear as a lake; The high bridge of the nose outlines a noble temperament, which makes people yearn for it.

This is a natural beauty, much stronger than those plastic surgery faces and beautiful faces in later generations, and Hazia has a heroic spirit that Han women do not have, and he can't help but look more at Hazia's body.

Li Xianzhong's appearance was naturally seen by Hazia, and she still had some little arrogance in her heart. After all, she really hasn't lost to anyone else in appearance, except for her aunt, the first beauty of the Jurchens, Brother Dong.

Hazia said: "Li Dashuai, you are mistaken, my aunt Brother Dong died of illness three years ago, my name is Hazia. ”

At this time, Li Rubai reacted, although the Hazia in front of him looked very similar to Brother Dong, but after all, it was still a little worse.

In fact, he was also Dongge's admirer at the beginning, but unfortunately his father Li Chengliang thought that this daughter was unknown and a disaster; Not only that, Li Chengliang also used Dongge to provoke a fight between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Haixi Jurchens.

Dongge was engaged at the age of 9, but he promised to marry 8 times, failed 7 times, and did not marry himself to Mongolia until he was 33 years old. The Huifa, Ula, and Hada of the Haixi Jurchens all died because of Dongge; Anyone who was engaged to him basically did not end well, and Nurhachi also issued the most vicious curse because he couldn't get Dongge, and even included his failure to marry Dongge in the "Seven Hatreds" of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that my father never thought that Nurhachi, a domestic slave of his own, who was used to contain the Haixi Nuzhen, actually publicly established the "Houjin" and declared war on the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Li family in Liaodong was no longer what it used to be, and it was powerless to suppress this rebellion.
