On the bank of the Huqiangou River, the Khan King Nurhachi has been sitting for a long time.

The sun had set on the top of the mountain in the distance, and the cold wind blowing on the river was faintly audible.

No one dared to step forward to disturb Nurhachi, He Heli and Baduli and others sighed not far away, and An Gui, the leader of the Yellow Flag, stomped his feet from time to time, but what was the use. Without the Khan's words, who of them would dare to act rashly.

"My lord, you better go and persuade the Khan King, it's so cold this day, the Khan King is sitting down like this, but he will catch the cold." Baduli didn't dare to persuade himself, and the king of the Khan couldn't do this, so he had to ask He Heli to come over.

"Okay, I'll go and persuade you, you restrain the people here, and don't send the news back to Hetuara for the time being." He Heli considered that Guangluo Belle Yuying, who had just been made the crown prince by the Khan King, was anxious, and if he knew that the eighth elder brother had called the Ming army to kill, he might lead his troops over. At that time, I am afraid that the sad Khan King will really go to war with the Ming Dynasty because of this.

Jianzhou does not have the strength to start a war with the Ming Dynasty at present, He Heli is not only the fifth minister, but also Nurhachi's son-in-law, he knows that Nurhachi has always been angry with the Ming Dynasty, so he is unwilling to get close to the Ming Dynasty in his bones, so he contradicts the three Bel Shulhaqi who advocates being close to the Ming, and finally leads to Shulhaqi breaking away from Jianzhou and standing on his own.

But even if the Khan King has always wanted to break with the Ming Dynasty in his heart, he has to endure it all these years, the reason is that Jianzhou has not yet unified the Jurchens, although there are 40,000 elite soldiers, but it is still not enough to compete with the Ming Dynasty. It must be known that in Liaodong alone, the Ming army had more than 80,000 people. If the war really starts, the chances of Jianzhou winning are very small, and when the time comes, not only will it have to face the military pressure of the Ming Dynasty, but also have to face the attack of Ula, Yehe, Horqin and other departments.

If you want to break with the Ming Dynasty, you have to unify the Jurchens, which is a prerequisite that He Heli, Feiyangu, Eyidu and others have long discussed. In the words of the Han people, it is necessary to settle the inside before the outside. Therefore, He Heli couldn't let the irascible Yu Ying add fuel to the fire.

The Yellow Banner Soldiers had always been in charge of the Five Beyler Mang Gurtai before, so it was impossible for An Gui and the other two assistant leaders to directly contact Yu Ying by bypassing their banner master. Baduli is a person with a white flag, but he also knows the severity, so he doesn't dare to send the news back.

He Heli walked to the river with a heavy heart, and in his sight, King Khan seemed to be getting old again, so he sat on the ground and looked straight at the river.

It's almost October, and although the snow hasn't fallen yet, the temperature is already very cold. There was no ice in the middle of the river, but there was already thin ice on both sides. By the river, you can open your mouth to let out white air.

After all, the Khan King is fifty years old, and although He Heli is only five years younger than the Khan King, he is his son-in-law, so he really can't bear the Khan King to freeze here. Thinking of the Eighth Elder Brother and the old man Yang Gu, his heart was also very sad. With a secret sigh, he walked to the side of the King of Khan, bent down, and called softly: "King Khan! ”

"Didn't I tell you not to come?" Nurha's naked body moved, and he looked at He Heli with some unhappiness.

"The minions are not at ease." He Heli wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's not to worry about, can Ben Khan still be able to jump into the river?" Nurha said in a muffled voice, and the dirt on his right hand was actually causing him to sink deep into it.

He Heli didn't dare to speak, and stood there. Nurhachi ignored him, still silently watching the middle of the river. The two of them, who were both Weng's son-in-law and master and slave, stayed there quietly, until He Heli's ears were frozen and stiff, and Nuerhachi's command came from his ears: "Go and call Baduli to come." ”

He Heli hurriedly said yes, turned around and waved his hand to Baduli, who was looking at this side. Seeing this, Baduli hurriedly trotted all the way over.

"The minion kowtows to the Khan King!" Baduli knelt beside Nurhachi with a "plop".

"Get up."

Nurhachi slowly stood up from the ground, gently patted the dirt on his buttocks, and then asked Baduli coldly: "How did Eighth Elder Brother and Feiyangu be killed by the Ming army, you tell me carefully." ”

"Yes, King Khan!" Baduli quickly got up and told the story.

"The slave is the news delivered by Li Yongfang, the general of Fushun who got it yesterday, and they said that the Eighth Elder Brother and Feiyangu were ambushed by the Ming Army in a place called Changsheng Fort, and none of them escaped from the Eighth Elder Brother. Li Yongfang also said, "Baduli suddenly stopped, obviously not knowing whether the rest of the words should be said to the Khan King.

"What else to say!" Nurhachi's expression was very ugly.

"Li Yongfang also said that the heads of the Eighth Elder Brother and General Feiyangu are now in Shenyang." Baduli didn't dare not report it, and his head was already hanging deep after speaking.

He Heli's face also changed greatly, he didn't dare to look at his father-in-law, and he hated the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

Both of them thought that the Khan King would be furious and scolded, but they didn't want the Khan King to react at all. He Heli and Ba Duli were terrified, and they boldly raised their heads, and found that although the Khan King was pale, he seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, Nurhachi asked Baduli in a deep voice: "Why did the Ming army ambush the Eighth Elder Brother and them?" ”

"The minions don't know." Baduli shook his head, "As soon as the servants got the letter, they rushed to report to the Khan. ”

Nurhachi's eyes flashed: "Who led the Ming army?" ”

Ba Duli hurriedly said: "Li Yongfang said that the person who killed Eighth Elder Brother and Feiyangu was a deputy envoy named Wei Liangchen. ”

"Wei Liangchen?" Nurhachi seemed to be familiar with the name, and immediately opened his eyes: "Is that the kid sent by the emperor to pay me back?" ”

"It's him!"

He Heli also remembered that a month earlier, the Shenyang Metropolitan Division had sent an official letter to Jianzhou, saying that the imperial court had sent a deputy envoy to Fushun Pass to investigate Gao Huai's arrears. That deputy envoy was Wei Liangchen.

Nuerha's face was expressionless, and he slowly paced a few steps forward, and suddenly became angry, and scolded bitterly: "Wei Liangchen, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, killed my beloved son and beheaded my general, this is my great hatred in my life, and I swear not to stand with him!" ”

He Heli and Ba Duli knelt down in fright when they heard this. He Heli felt bad, the Khan King Mo would not start a war against the Ming Dynasty because of this matter?

I was trying to find an opportunity to persuade him, and the matter was discussed in the long run, but I saw the king of Khan pointing to Baduli and instructed him: "You go to Fushun and say to Li Yongfang, I, Nurhachi, have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for thirty years, and since I was the governor of the feudal state and the general of Longhu, I have treated the Ming as a monarch and a father, and I have never neglected the Ming Dynasty anywhere. … However, today, my beloved son was killed by the envoy, if the Ming Dynasty does not give me an explanation, I Nurhachi will personally lead the troops to ask the court to return me a justice! ”
