Luo Sigong didn't answer immediately, but looked at Wang Rui with an inquiring gaze, Wang Rui hurriedly said: "Luo Zongbing does have an only son named Luo Junjie, who is estimated to be in his twenties, reckless by nature and short-tempered, but he is also righteous, and has some dealings with my son-in-law. The black cloud crane is the general under the command of Luo Zongbing, he is proud of his extraordinary martial arts, competitive and competitive, the loss of Xiping Fort, at first he did not listen to the persuasion of Luo Zongbing, insisted on going out of the fort to meet the enemy, and lost nearly half of the garrison, resulting in the lack of troops in Xiping Fort and the fall. I heard Gongzi say that Luo Junjie's martial arts were all taught by Heiyunhe. ”

When Gao Jie heard this, he couldn't help but say: "In this case, then hurry up and save it, I'm afraid that everyone will die if it's too late!"

Luo Sigong frowned and was silent, and Venerable Zongqing suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "What time is it at this moment?"

Gao Jie and Wang Rui replied together: "Less than three watches!"

After hearing this, Zong Qing smiled and glanced at Luo Sigong and stopped talking. Gao Jie looked at the old monk and said impatiently: "I said, master, can you finish the words at one time, don't make this half of the words to hang people's appetites?"

Luo Sigong also smiled at this moment, he took a leisurely sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Sneak attack, hehe, the design is good, but the flaws are still obvious! It seems that this General Huang is not as completely at ease with us as he seems to be!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he immediately stopped making a sound, and began to quietly think about the meaning of Luo Sigong's words. Wang Rui still asked anxiously: "Lord Luo, what do you mean by this is a trap designed by Huang Debiao?"

Luo Sigong nodded, but his eyes glanced at Gao Jie in thought.

After a while, Gao Jie suddenly stretched his waist, and then said with a smile: "Sure enough, there is a problem! Master Zongqing and Shi Bo are worthy of being the old sparrows of Dongting Lake, they are thoughtful and experienced, Huang Debiao miscalculated!"

Luo Sigong scolded with a smile: "What kind of old sparrow in Dongting Lake, it is so ugly!"

Venerable Zongqing didn't understand the meaning of "old sparrow", and looked at Luo Sigong in confusion. Luo Sigong smiled bitterly and explained: "This kid said that the two of us are old foxes!"

Venerable Zongqing listened to this, and said happily: "The old sparrow's statement is also fresh, it sounds much more pleasant than the old fox!" After speaking, he smiled at Gao Jie and asked, "Do you understand?"

Gao Zhuozhuo looked innocent, sighed: "Pity me, a young man as simple as a blank piece of paper, but you have been dyed with bells and whistles in the big dye vat! The human heart is sinister, this Huang Debiao sang like this, and I really almost fell for his trick!" Gao Jie continued while pouring tea for Luo Sigong and others: "From Huang Debiao's shouting, it can be known that it is not the first time that Lin Junjie and others have come to attack and harass him. It can be seen from this that Lin Junjie and the others should be very experienced, how could they bring a dozen or so people to carry out a sneak attack before the third watch day and before the garrison was asleep? At first, I heard the sound of clanging weapons clashing in the chaos, and I was anxious, so I didn't make a detailed distinction, but now that I think about it, since Huang Debiao has tried his best to set up an ambush, just one random arrow is enough to annihilate the enemy, how can he risk the risk of attrition and order his subordinates to come forward to fight in close combat? In addition, if Huang Debiao has completely believed us, he will tell him in advance that if there is any change at night, don't panic, don't go out, etc., since he didn't say it, it means that he is still suspicious of us!"

Wang Rui listened to Gao Jie's analysis, patted his thigh and said: "Grandma, I said how could this kid be so kind, not only warmly invited us to his station, but also waited for him with wine and food, it turned out that there was another cat!"

Gao Jie glanced at him and said: "Brother Wang, as soon as you stretched out your arm before, you knocked the blade of this deputy general Huang Debiao so that I don't know where it flew, a caravan guard, but with such amazing martial arts, if it were me, I would have to doubt it, right?!"

Wang Rui scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Why did it still get involved with me?!"

Luo Sigong laughed and said: "So, in the future, everyone should be more showy and more restrained!"

While Gao Jie and the others were talking, the riots outside gradually stopped, and Huang Debiao saw that the play he directed and acted had no effect, so he didn't bother anymore, so he hastily ended the scene and went to sleep. Gao Jie and the others also finished discussing and rested in peace.

Li Chengliang (1526-1615), the name Ruqi, the number of the city, Liaodong Tieling (now Liaoning Tieling), the general of the late Ming Dynasty. The ancestors avoided North Korea because of the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was attached to North Korea. In the early days of Wanli, Wang Gao and Zi'atai, the Jurchen leaders of Jianzhou, defeated the chieftains of the Han tribe Tuman and the Taining chieftain Sujianghai several times, and planned to kill the leaders of the Haixi Yehe tribe, Qingjia and Yang Ji. Li Chengliang has the talent of a general. In the case of the greed and cowardice of the generals of the entire Ming Dynasty, the border preparation was lax, and during the 30 years of guarding Liaodong, he led the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to play a great victory successively, and the prosperity of the border marshal's martial arts was unprecedented in 200 years. But he was in a good position, extravagant, and even falsely reported his military exploits, and was impeached by the officials. In the nineteenth year of Wanli (1591), he was dismissed. In the following ten years, the eastern border of Liaodong was relaxed. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), Li Chengliang was reinstated at the age of 76. In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli (1606), Li Chengliang mistakenly built six forts such as Kuandian in the early years of Wanli and had been "born and gathered to more than 64,000 families", and gave it up with "the land is lonely and difficult to defend", and relocated more than 60,000 households to the interior, and persecuted the people who love their homes with a large army. Died in the forty-third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1615) at the age of 90, and was buried in the north of Yangshan (near present-day Beijing). The history of the Ming Dynasty records that Li Ying, the ancestor of Li Chengliang, moved from the Korean Peninsula to Tieling (see Li Shi in Longxi, North Korea for details). Although Li Chengliang was annexed to northeast China from Korea, after several generations, he had long been integrated into the Han nationality in Liaodong and had always been regarded as a Han Chinese, such as Zhang Binglin in the late Qing Dynasty

The Grass Revolution Manifesto said: "May the Liao people not forget Li Chengliang", that is, Li Chengliang is regarded as a hero of the Han nationality. Joseon Yingzu also gave preferential treatment to the descendants of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty who fled to Korea at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and compiled the "Chinese Record" as the basis for exemption. There are descendants of Lee Sung-liang in the "Chinese Record", which shows that the Joseon Dynasty regarded Lee Sung-liang and his descendants as Han Chinese. Li Ying, the ancestor of Li Chengliang, attached himself to the Ming Dynasty from Korea and served as the commander of Tielingwei. [2]

In the fifth year of Jiajing (1526), Li Chengliang was born in Tielingwei, eastern Liaodong. Li Chengliang was heroic and strong when he was a teenager, and he was a great general. Due to the poverty of his family, he became a student at the age of 40. At first, he was a general in the dangerous mountains, and because of his repeated military exploits, he was promoted to the deputy chief military officer in the first year of Longqing (1567) to assist in guarding Liaoyang. [3] In the fourth year of Longqing (1570), he was promoted to the governor of Liaodong and stationed in Jieguangning (now in the city of Beizhen). From the late Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to the Longqing period, the Tatar Han Er Department invaded Liaodong many times. In the following ten years, three generals of the Ming Dynasty died in battle. At that time, when the border preparations were abolished, Li Chengliang immediately recruited athletes from all over the world to resist the intrusion of the Mongol and Jurchen ministries, and the voice of the army began to vibrate. [4]

In May of the fifth year of Longqing (1571), the Mongol army invaded Panshanyi, and Li Chengliang commanded Su Chengxun to defeat the Mongol army. Soon after, the Mongol barbarians invaded in large numbers. Li Chengliang blocked them in Zhuoshan, led the deputy general Zhao Wan and others to attack the Tuman, cut off their heads and tails, and took advantage of the victory to enter the camp of the Tuban army, beheaded two enemy ministers, and beheaded more than 580 ranks. Entered the seal as the governor of the department, and inherited thousands of households from generation to generation. [5] In October of the sixth year of Longqing (1572), 600 Tuman cavalry camped in Beihe, the old Liaoyang, more than 200 miles away from the border of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for the men and horses to gather and then invade, and Li Chengliang knocked them away. [6] In the first year of Wanli (1573), they were defeated again in Qiantun. After that, he defeated the Mongol soldiers who had defeated the forts west of Tieling Town, and the Ming court promoted them to the second rank. Duoyan Ulusihan destroyed the border wall with 4,000 horsemen, and Li Chengliang repelled them. In the first year of Wanli (1573), Li Chengliang, as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, expanded the six forts of Kuandian after repelling the Mongols. At this time, the Jianzhou Jurchens commanded Wang Gao to communicate with the horse market in Fushun. In the horse market, Pei Chengzu was booby-trapped in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty cut off the tribute city, and Li Chengliang planned to conquer Wang Gao. [8] In the second year of Wanli (1574), Wang Gao gathered the Tatar Tumut and Taining tribes on the grounds that his troops were trapped, and attacked Liaoyang and Shenyang, the important towns of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. In this battle, Nurhachi and his brother Shulhaqi were captured and taken in by Li Chengliang as servants. [9]

In the spring of the third year of Wanli (1575), the barbarians invaded Changyong Fort, and Li Chengliang defeated it. In the winter of the same year, the leaders of the five Inner Khalkha tribes gathered more than 20,000 horsemen from the Tatar Black Carbon, Huangtaiji, Buyantaizhou, Yi'er Deng, Nuantu, Gongtu, and Dura'er, and marched south from Pingyu Fort to enter the Kou. The deputy general Cao Yan led his troops to attack, and the Tatars turned to plunder Shenyang, and saw that there was a Ming army camp outside Shenyang, so they were stationed in the northwest Gaodun. Li Chengliang went to challenge and used firearms to attack the Mongol army, but the Mongols were defeated and abandoned their baggage. Li Chengliang led his army to chase to the river ditch, crossed the river with victory, and killed thousands of enemy troops. Ming Tingjia Li Chengliang Prince Taibao, Shiyin Jinyi Thousand Households. [10] In the fourth year of Wanli (1576), Heishitan and Dawei were camping outside the border wall of Daqing Fort, seeking to capture Jinzhou and Yizhou. Li Chengliang led his hand-selected elite cavalry to attack 200 miles, approached the enemy's camp, and broke through the camp. Killed four Tatar ministers. [11] In May of the fifth year of Wanli (1577), the Tuban entered the Kou again, and the joint camp reached the east of the Liao River. [12] In the first month of the sixth year of Wanli (1578), he quickly entangled the barbarian army and entered the Kou, Li Chengliang defeated it, and the Taibao and Shiyin Benwei commanded the envoys. In December, more than 30,000 horsemen, including Hai, Fried Flowers, Nuan Rabbit and Gongtu, met Huang Taiji, Big and Small Weizheng, Bu Erhai, and Panic Tai camped in Liaohe, attacked Dongchang Fort, and went deep into the border until Yaozhou. Li Chengliang sent generals to divide the key cities to contain the barbarians, and he personally led the elite troops out of the fortress for more than 200 miles, and smashed the mountains. When the barbarian army heard about it, they fled to the outside of the fortress in a hurry. Li Chengliang was named Ning Yuanbo. [13] At that time, the Tuman asked to come to the tribute city several times, but the Ming Dynasty officials did not allow it, and the Tuman resented this. [14] In October of the seventh year of Wanli (1579), he again went deep into the border with 40,000 horsemen from the Jinchuan camp in Qiantun. Li Chengliang ordered the generals to strengthen the city defenses, and personally urged the general Yang Su and others to curb the key points of the Mongols' invasion. When Qi Jiguang came to help, Mongolia quickly retreated. After that, the Mongol attack was also repelled by Li Chengliang.
