After reluctantly sending Hazia away, Li Xianzhong found a night bully galloping towards him.

He stopped at Li Xianzhong's side, and said weakly: "Jianyu has detained the pass, and is attacking the Raven Pass at night, with no less than 40,000 people. ”

After saying that, this person fell to the ground, Li Xianzhong quickly helped him up and shouted: "Brother, you hold on." ”

Only then did he realize that this Ye Bushu had been hit by several arrows in his back and had no breath.

While Li Xianzhong sent Liaodong Iron Cavalry to guard the periphery of Qinghe Fort, he made people blow the horn of the alarm.

Most people had just fallen asleep at this time, but the muffled sound of the horn was particularly penetrating in the silent night.

Yang Hao, who was sleeping soundly, was startled by the sudden sound of the horn, and then a personal soldier rushed in and said: "Oh no, tens of thousands of Jianyu were detained overnight, and the commander was asked to hurry up and preside over the overall situation." ”

When Yang Hao arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals had already gathered, and even the seriously injured veteran Liu Wei had already arrived.

Yang Hao hurriedly tidied up the armor on his body and said, "What's the situation now?" ”

Li Xianzhong said: "Jianyu attacked the Yahu Pass overnight, with no less than 40,000 troops, and Nurhachi should have poured out. Time is pressing, please make a quick decision? ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong wanted to scold his mother in his heart, if it weren't for you, a fool, who rushed to Qinghe Fort, Lao Tzu would have left the battlefield by now, why would there be a current situation?

Yang Hao didn't know about the situation at the Yahu Pass at all, so he had to ask: "General Li Bing, I don't know how the garrison of the Yahu Pass is?" ”

Li Rubai said: "Don't worry, the five thousand elite soldiers of the chief soldier He Shixian have been stationed at Yahu Pass; The last general expected that Jianyu was likely to attack the Raven Pass next, so he prepared a large amount of grain, grass, gunpowder, and other armaments there in advance. ”

After hearing Li Rubai's words, Yang Hao's face softened a lot, and said, "In this way, the Crow Falcon Pass will not be conquered by Jianyu in a short time?" ”

At present, the military situation is like fire, and Yang Hao is still wasting time here and there, which is really bad for Li Xianzhong.

He said: "Commander Qiqi, although the Raven Pass can be defended, but the border wall of Liaodong has been destroyed in many places, and it is not difficult for them to bypass the Raven Pass. ”

"The last general is afraid that Jianyu will go straight to Qinghe Fort, and he also asks the commander to quickly formulate a strategy to defend against the enemy."

Yang Hao was also in a state of confusion at this time, and he knew that he would not come to Qinghe Fort to take this trip to the troubled waters.

It's good now, I'm in a dilemma.

Yang Hao said: "General Li is too worried, our army is secretly assembled in Qinghe Fort, and Jian Yu will not know the location of our army's main force so quickly." ”

"Even if Jianyu divides his troops to attack Qinghe Fort, presumably there will not be too many troops, and our army will just catch him off guard."

Then he cleared his throat and said, "This commander has decided to concentrate the main force at Qinghe Fort to meet the Jianguo, and the generals must work together to ensure that this battle is re-established and the prisoners will not dare to covet my Ming territory again." ”

Yang Hao thought that his impassioned statement would definitely win applause from the audience, but unexpectedly, there were few responders, and even Li Rubai and Liu Wei did not express their support.

Li Xianzhong, who was helpless, said: "The marshal went all the way from Shenyang to Qinghe Fort to reward the army, and it is already known to everyone that Qinghe Fort must be the target of their raid. Even if our army blocked Jianyu here, they are all cavalry, and at this moment Shenyang and Liaoyang are empty, if they raid with light troops, we may not gain more than we lose. ”

The generals were also speechless, Yang Hao swaggered all the way through the city, and everyone knew his whereabouts, and he actually counted on a surprise attack in Qinghe Fort to ambush Jianyu.

It's a stupid door to the stupid, stupid to get home.

Yang Hao, who came to his senses, finally returned to normal, and immediately arranged for Li Rubai's Southern Route Army to withdraw to Shenyang, and Liu Wei's Eastern Route Army to withdraw to Liaoyang.

However, the Crow Pass is too close to Qinghe Fort, and someone must break it. Otherwise, the two roads would definitely be pursued by the Eight Banners cavalry and would not be able to withdraw smoothly.

Li Xianzhong was no longer hypocritical, and took the initiative to lead the 4,000 cavalry of the Southern Route Army to cover the retreat of the main force on the front line of Qinghe Fort.

At this time, Yan Mingtai, the supervisor of the South Road, took the initiative to stand up and said: "Marshal Qiyu, although General Li's cavalry can drag Jianyu prisoners, but if no one stays to hold Qinghe Fort, I am afraid that Jianyu will soon find that the main force of our army has been transferred, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not divide their forces to chase." The supervising army was willing to lead 3,000 men and horses to hold the Qinghe Fort and cover the retreat of the army. ”

All the generals present cast admiring glances at this civil official, knowing that staying and holding on at this time is tantamount to death. After all, the Crow Falcon Pass was a dangerous pass, and Li Rubai also left a large number of firearms and supplies to He Shixian.

Qinghe Fort was breached by Jianjiao last year, but it was just an ordinary fort, and it couldn't stop Jianjiao at all.

Li Xianzhong was also moved by Yan Mingtai's behavior, in history, the "Battle of Salhu" Ming was indeed beaten very badly by Houjin, but 310 civil and military generals were killed, as well as more than 45,000 soldiers, even in the face of a desperate situation, they did not surrender to Jianlu.

Yesterday there was Jiang Wanhua, the deputy chief soldier of the Xuanfu who launched a suicidal charge, and today there is Yan Mingtai, the supervisor of the South Road who took the initiative to die generously after breaking off.

Li Xianzhong knew that this Yan Mingtai was not a simple person, and in the future, he would become the governor of Shuntian and the governor of Jiliao; He also served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and successively awarded the prince Taibao, the prince Taifu, and the prince Taishi. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), he was awarded the title of young master.

Now that he has overdrawn all the "God perspectives" of the "Battle of Salhu", it is no longer possible for him, a "keyboard warrior", to predict how it will develop next.

Maybe this Yan Mingtai can really bring surprises.

Yang Hao was also quite moved, and said: "Yan Jianjun, if you have any requirements, just put forward, this commander can do everything he can to satisfy you." ”

Sure enough, Yan Mingtai's next move proved to everyone that he was not going to stay and die.

Yan Mingtai said: "I want to select 3,000 soldiers from the command of Yizhou General Li Huaizhong to help me defend the city!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Rubai in surprise. Li Huaizhong's men and horses are the elite troops of the Li family, and one thousand of them are still the Li family's family members.

There was an unwritten rule in the Ming army that even Shangguan would not transfer his subordinates' family members to be commanded by others.

Yan Mingtai said with a smile: "This prison army naturally doesn't want the Li family's family, but I hope to leave me 500 firearms." ”

After Li Rubai agreed, Yang Hao said: "Okay, Ben Shuai promised you, do you have any other requirements?" ”

Yan Mingtai said: "These three thousand brothers staying in Qinghe Fort with me can be described as nine deaths, and they dare to ask for a life for them?" ”

Everyone stayed to send them to death to contain Jian's captivity, and it was normal for people to ask for more silver, so Yang Hao asked, "How much?" ”

Yan Mingtai said: "If we die on the battlefield, we will have our own court pension; If we drag the captives and survive, I hope that the marshal can reward the living people with 100 taels of silver each. ”

"Of course, if it hadn't been for Jianyu and hadn't attacked Qinghe Fort, he would naturally not have asked for this 'life money' from the commander."

100 taels per person, 3,000 people is 300,000 taels, although there will not be many people who can survive in the end, but even if 300 people survive, it will cost 30,000 taels of silver.

Faced with such a huge expense, Yang Hao fell into hesitation.

Li Xianzhong was taken aback, thinking that this Yan Mingtai was so powerful.

This hundred taels is to stimulate the desire of these soldiers to survive.

In this way, they will definitely not be bent on dying, but will do everything possible to find a way to defend Qinghe Fort, after all, as long as they hold on, there will be one hundred taels.

From the perspective of later generations, this Yan Mingtai is definitely a master of painting cakes.

You can't eat this bread, but you can see it so real.

He convinces everyone that they are not staying to die, but to get a chance to make a fortune, which is to fool people to death.

Li Xianzhong said: "These soldiers have served my Li family for many years, how can they let Yang Jing give a little money, Yan Jian Jun can rest assured, my Li family promised you." ”

Li Rubai immediately reacted, this is just a "favor", where is there any possibility for these people to survive?

This opportunity to buy hearts and minds cannot be missed.

So he said: "Xianzhong is right, this silver is out of my Li family!" ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong was completely convinced by the means of this Yan Jian Army, and sure enough, the future governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, the secretary of the military department was a person who knew the soldiers.

Just one promise made the 3,000 soldiers who stayed behind instantly feel like they were beaten with chicken blood.

Now these 3,000 people have vividly interpreted the four words "unite as one".

These soldiers had light in their eyes, desperately carrying stones and rolling logs, which were the tools used to defend the city.

It can be seen that they are not afraid of Jianyu at all now, but they all have a very expectant look.

Sometimes Li Xianzhong even wondered if Yan Mingtai had calculated himself.

He, the young general of the Li family, can he look at the 3,000 soldiers who have followed the Li family for many years?

I thought I just ran into a "bronze", but I ended up meeting a "king".

If Yan Mingtai can hold on to Qinghe Fort, then he will have more room to play.
