Nurhachi came to Liaodong this time on the orders of Gao Shishi to accept a formal appointment, and the appointed post was, of course, the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, who had been promised to him a long time ago.

However, this time he took office a little differently from the past, because Gao pragmatic asked to take a look at the "military prestige" of the Jianzhou Left Guard.

In Nurhachi's understanding, this sentence is to review the troops, but Nurhachi knows his own family affairs, he has just finished Tulun City and Salhu City, and his own strength is only five or six hundred, even if Gao Shishi wants to review it, he does not dare to bring the whole army over.

First, he was afraid that the rear would be unstable, and the newly descended people in Tulun City and Salhu City would rise up to rebel against him, and secondly, he was also afraid that Gao Pragmatic would inexplicably take action to wipe him out - speaking of which, the Jurchens have always understood the practices of the Ming Dynasty, and in their opinion, the Ming Dynasty is often unreasonable and beats him.

Of course, this is a misunderstanding, who Daming wants to fight is actually easy to analyze, but these are political issues, not purely military issues, in fact, they are beyond Nurhachi's level of understanding, so he has always been unsure of what Daming will do.

Therefore, Nurhachi and Shulhaqi consulted and discussed, and finally decided to bring 300 elite soldiers to open the plain.

In the eyes of Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi, this number can not only allow Gao Futai to see that the new commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard has a good way to make the emperor have a good way, and the soldiers and horses under his command are capable and powerful, but there are not too many people, which makes the governor feel nervous.

In fact, Nurhachi thought too much, with his current five or six hundred soldiers and horses, even if all of them were brought to Kaiyuan and brought into Kaiyuan City, Gao Pragmatic would not be the slightest nervous.

Because Gao Shi didn't come alone, he brought 3,000 Fu Biao - in fact, the armed men of the Gao family changed their clothes, including 1,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 horsemen, and most of them participated in the battle of southern Liao.

In addition, Cao Yan also brought 3,000 families (leaving 2,000 to guard Liaoyang), his group of family members, in terms of weapons and equipment, is a little worse than the pragmatic Fubiao, but he also has his advantage, that is, these people have extremely rich combat experience, almost all of them have about ten years of family experience, and they have fought at least dozens of battles with Cao Yan.

In addition, there is another advantage, that is, these family members of Cao Yan are all locals of Liaodong, especially mainly from northern Liaobei (introduced before, Cao Yan himself is from northern Liaoning), and coming to Kaiyuan is basically coming to his hometown - the traditional characteristics of the Chinese, fighting in his hometown seems to have a combat bonus BUFF, and these people under him are no exception.

In this way, Gao Pragmatic is in Kaiyuan, and there are as many as 6,000 family troops who dare to fight and can fight, how can they worry about a Nurhachi who is just 11 years of Wanli? If he wants to feel dangerous, it will be almost the same as Nurhachi thirty years later.

However, Gao Pragmatism does not only need to guard against one Nurhachi, he has several forces to guard against, the most critical of which are two: Hadabel Mengebulu, and Yehe Erbeyl.

Yehe Erbeile doesn't need to say more, just Mengebulu, he was also summoned by Gao Pragmatic to canonize - his mother Sister Wen asked the Ming court to canonize him, and Gao pragmatic agreed, this time saying that he was to be appointed with Nurhachi.

However, Mengebulu's status was higher than Nurhachi's, and he was the commander of the capital - because the Hada tribe was unified, and theoretically there was only one "supreme leader" of Menghebulu.

Of course, theory is theory, in fact, there is a power struggle within the Hada Ministry now, except for Mengebulu who has achieved the nominal supreme leadership with the support of his mother Sister Wen, there are two other people with strong strength.

These two people, one is Daishan, the son of the former Bel Huerhan (not the second son of Nurhachi, but they should have the same name, but the words were deliberately changed when translating), and the other is Kang Gulu, the illegitimate son of Wangtai, who succeeded Sister Wen.

Although Kang Gulu succeeded Sister Wen, the situation is just like Zhong Jin Hatun married to Han Naji, but he will not ignore his previous son Butashri, Sister Wen also takes care of her son first, and then considers Kang Gulu.

She told Kangulu that if she supported Kangulu to become Hadabel, then Daishan would definitely not accept it, which would cause Hada to split immediately, and in the current situation that Hada was already at a disadvantage of competing with Yehe, it would be tantamount to asking for his own death.

So she suggested that her son Menggebulu should be this bailer, because Menggebulu was Dai Shan's uncle in terms of seniority, and under the Jurchen tradition of "young sons guarding their careers", Dai Shan had no reason to oppose Menggebulu's uncle.

Kanggulu was convinced—this guy was actually a good man, and his brain was not very good, and he felt that he had taken a big advantage from Mengebru's brother to his stepfather, so it didn't matter if Baylor didn't have Baylor.

Therefore, although the two major separatist factions within the Hada Ministry are still alive and well, Menggebulu still swaggered to accept the summons of Gao Pragmatic and came to Kaiyuan with a thousand soldiers and horses - bringing so many people is also a high pragmatic request, and the official reason is exactly the same as Nurhachi's, saying that he wants to see the military prestige of the Hada Ministry to ensure that the imperial court canonizes people.

Because of his proximity, Mengebulu arrived at Kaiyuan on the same day as Nurhachi, although he left later than Nurhachi, and then the two of them were summoned by Gao Shishi - this summoning was not a formal appointment, but an assignment.

According to Gao Shishi's order, Nurhachi's 300 men were required to be stationed directly in the city, and Yang Yuan, a general who guarded Kaiyuan and other places, arranged a separate garrison for them, while Menggebulu's 1,000 soldiers and horses were arranged to be stationed somewhere outside the city, adjacent to Cao Yan's 3,000 Jiading.

Both Nurhachi and Mengeblu were ordered to stay temporarily pending further instructions.

This "further directive" was very clear in the minds of both Nurhachi and Mengeblu, who thought that this directive must be pulled out for "exhibition" on a certain day—that is, to be read.

It wasn't until Yehe's two Beylers appeared under Kaiyuan City with two thousand cavalry that Nurhachi felt that something was wrong.

The treatment enjoyed by Yehe's two Baylors was obviously inferior to that of him and Menggebulu - these two Baylors asked for Kaicheng under Kaiyuan City, but Gao Shipra sent Kaiyuan Soldier Beidao Wang Lu to tell the two Baylors that they had brought too many soldiers to accommodate Kaiyuan City, and only allowed them to bring 100 personal soldiers into it.

After some bargaining, the two Baylors finally entered the city with one hundred and fifty soldiers each, and the total number of men on both sides was three hundred.

At this time, Nurhachi received "further instructions": all 300 elite soldiers were ambushed near the Drum Tower Campus, with the Ming Army's artillery as the signal, once the cannon sounded, they would enter the Colony Field, "Anyone who does not wear a mandarin duck robe will be killed!" ”

At the same time, Gao pragmatic dispatched troops in front of Nurhachi: the Ming army Liaodong Fubiao 1,000 infantry, with 32 large and small artillery pieces erected around the Drum Tower Yard, with the muzzles facing inward, ready to fight at any time; Fubiao's 2,000 cavalry were also hidden behind the drum tower, ready to "support" Nurhachi at any time; In addition, Yang Yuan, the general of Kaiyuan, led 500 Jiading and 3,000 elites of the guards as the second echelon to guard the gates of Kaiyuan.

In addition, Gao pragmatic also ordered that Cao Yan, the deputy general of Liaodong, was the main general, and Meng Gebulu was the deputy general, responsible for leading the 3,000 Jiading and 1,000 personal soldiers of their respective departments, and was responsible for exterminating the "rebellion" outside the city.

Rebel outside the city? What rebellion is there outside Kaiyuan City? This is simply lice on the monk's head - it is clear that the 1,700 cavalry left outside the city by only Yehe and Baylor may be regarded as "rebellious". And the encirclement and suppression of the big school field was only aimed at Ye He and Baylor and his party.

Nurhachi was suddenly shocked with cold hands and feet - Gao Futai's last task to test himself was to start a war with Yehe!

God is pitiful, he just reached a marriage with Ye He a few months ago, although because Yang Jitong's young daughter is still young, and now she has not officially married, but the marriage has been completed, and Ye He's side has even let Nurhachi bring the "girl in the room" back to Hetuala!

Nurhachi was eager to refuse Gao Shishi's order, but he knew very well that he was in no position to refuse.

Although his political talent is very average, he still sees the military arrangements of Gao Futai very clearly: 1,000 Fu Biao with 32 cannons are facing the colonel's field in an encirclement situation, and there are 2,000 cavalry behind him who can be killed at any time, not to mention the 300 people brought in by Ye He's two Beylers, even if the 300 people brought in by his Nurhachi are also added, it is still a good fight, because what is the level of Gao Futai's Fu Biao, just look at the results of the battle of southern Liaoning, What's more, the last time Nurhachi went to Liaoyang, he also saw the military might of Fubiao.

Not to mention, there are also Yang Yuan with 3,500 people guarding the city gate in the city.

Yang Yuan, the Kaiyuan general, Nurhachi knows, even if this person is under Li Chengliang, he is also a first-class general, just the five hundred families under him, Nurhachi feels that he can't take it, not to mention that people only need to guard the city gate, let alone say - he will definitely arrange the guards to guard the city gate, and he will take five hundred families with him to support a dangerous place at any time.

That is to say, this time, in order to eliminate Qing Jiatong and Yang Jitong and the two thousand Yehe cavalry they brought, the Ming army mobilized more than 6,500 Jiading-level main forces alone, plus the guards guarding the city and other guards under the jurisdiction of Kaiyuan Bingbeidao but did not directly accept orders, the total strength used was at least more than 10,000.

The art of war is cloudy, ten sieges and five attacks, and now the strength advantage of the Ming army is more than five times, and it also occupies a line to be prepared and unprepared...... Nurhachi knew that Qing Jia Tong and Yang Ji Tong would not be spared unless they had wings on their backs this time.

But Nurhachi felt that his luck was not much better than that of Yeh and the two beylers: resisting was death, and it was no fun to run, and he knew that this time he was on a thief ship that could not get off at all.

For the sake of today's plan, he can only follow Gao Futai's order and directly take down the two Baylors of Qingjiatong and Yang Jitong in order to ensure his life, otherwise, let alone being the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, even he can only die.

Nurhachi was worried about his high-level and pragmatic behavior, and Shulhaqi beside him took advantage of the fact that there was no Ming army to follow him, and hurriedly asked: "This is bad, Ahun, what should we do now?" ”

Nurhachi tried his best to calm down, looked around, and whispered: "Dou, you are the commander of the Tongzhi, second only to me, tell me what you think?" ”

"What can I think?" Shuerhaqi smiled bitterly: "Gao Futai is now holding ginseng and deer antler velvet in one hand and an iron spear in the other, and asked me how to choose, I naturally chose ginseng and deer antlers, is it still possible to rush up and be beaten and killed?" But the problem now is Ah Hun, you are Ye He's son-in-law, and this matter is not only known to Ye He and Ye He's two Baylors, but there are more people who know about it, and now if you stand on the side of the Ming army and help the Ming army kill Ye He's two Baylors, what do other people think of you? ”

Nurhachi said coldly: "It doesn't matter what other people think of me, the real trouble is that after Ye He killed two Baylors, is it possible for us to fight against the left guard of Jianzhou!" ”

Shuerhaqi was stunned and said, "What does Hun mean by this? ”

Nurhachi gritted his teeth and said: "This Gao Futai looks very elegant and easy-going, but he can't imagine that his scheming is very deep, he is forcing me to make a feud with Ye He, and he is still a mortal feud."

Dou, if I kill Ye He's two Baylors today, Ye He's two new Baylors in the future will definitely be their sons, Nikan said that the hatred of killing his father is not shared, and Ye He will be able to tolerate my Jianzhou Left Guard in the future? Hmph, I know the thoughts of these people best, if they want to seek revenge from the Ming army, they may not have the courage, but if they come to us, I don't think they will be afraid. ”

Shulhaqi was speechless for a while, he also knew the truth in this, and Ye He's next move, he also agreed with Nurhachi's judgment - this is nothing strange, just like themselves, it is clear that the ancestor and father actually died at the hands of Li Chengliang, but let them go to Li Chengliang for revenge, and they don't dare to borrow their pair of bear-hearted leopards.

Nurhachi and Shulhaqi call themselves heroes, they don't dare to do something themselves, what can they expect from Yehe's two new beylers in the future? To be honest, if they really dare, it would be good, even if their own troubles were taken over by Da Ming, but Ye He's two new Baylors would never do this unless their heads were filled with horse urine, and they would only remember this revenge for killing their father on their Aixin Jueluo brothers.

Shuerhaqi couldn't help but scold: "his grandmother's lap legs, what a hell!" It's not that we Jianzhou people want to kill Ye He Erbeile, why do we have to deduct this basin on our brothers' heads? ”

Nurhachi let out a long sigh and shook his head, "You want to know why? Do you still remember Gao Futai's promise just now? Originally, there were 500 edicts in Jianzhou, but later due to many wars, about 200 of them were lost, and now there are only more than 270 left, and there is still a gap of 230 to be filled. ”

Shulhaqi rolled his eyes and asked, "Ahun means ......"

"It's not what I mean, it's Gao Futai's meaning." Nurha Equator: "My two brothers went to Liaoyang last time, and got a reward of thirty edicts, took Tulun City and grabbed twenty-five edicts, and took Sarhu and got fifteen edicts, and now there are a total of seventy edicts, I think Gao Futai means that the remaining two hundred and thirty edicts should be regarded as a reward......

Shulhazy was taken aback: "Give us so much? ”

Nurhachi frowned: "What do you want, how can you give so much at once?" These two hundred and thirty edicts are the rewards that Gao Futai is holding in his hand now, if we want to take these rewards, we have to do what he wants, as for killing Ye He and the two Baylors this time...... Think about it, even if there is no us, can't Gao Futai kill himself? He just forced us to take a stand and stand on his side, how much do you think this 'credit' is worth it? ”

Shulhazi was immediately deflated.
