Later Jin envoys Yanguli and Darhan rushed back to the Khan's palace in Shenyang City in the afternoon of the second day after the alliance of the Jiri Galangtu tribes was over, and reported the news to Huang Taiji. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Huang Taiji had just returned from the military parade outside the Dadong Gate of Shenyang City.

Although the few people sent out to conquer Dongjiang Town were not the ones he liked, after all, he was going to fight against the Ming Army of Dongjiang Town on behalf of the Houjin Army, so the work on the surface should still be done in place.

What's more, although these people are all big thorns in the Dajin Kingdom who don't obey him, he still recognizes the ability of these people to fight.

For example, Amin, the owner of the blue flag and the second of the four Baylors, is rude and rude, but he is a fierce general who can fight habitually.

For another example, Azig, the banner owner with the red flag and one of the four little beylers who was personally sealed by the old slave before his death, although he has always been displeased with Huang Taiji, resentful, and even resentful, but he dares to fight when he fights, and he is also a tiger general.

Coupled with one of the sons-in-law of the old slave Nuer Hachi, the Fuzhou chief military officer Aita, who has always been resourceful and cautious, there should be no problem in this expedition to Dongjiang Town.

Huang Taiji thinks so, and Amin and Azig also think so.

Therefore, after Huang Taiji took the oath of the military parade, Amin, Azig and Aita, each leading the men and horses of the headquarters, totaling more than 20,000 Ma Bu troops, set off on the morning of the 10th day of the first month of September.

The army marched 70 miles a day and camped, passing through Liaoyang City, Lianshan Pass, Phoenix City and other places, and in the evening after four days, they arrived at Zhenjiang Fort at the mouth of the Yalu River, that is, near Dandong in later generations, set up a large camp, and prepared to cross the river to attack Tieshan City the next day.

The journey was smooth and uneventful, Amin thought it was a good omen, and he was in a good mood.

When the camp was finished, it was already dark, and night was rising, and Amin had Azig and Etta called for him to come to his tent to discuss the military situation.

Seeing the arrival of the two, Erbel Amin touched his big oily bald head under the light, and said slowly: "Today's army has successfully arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, rest all night, I intend to cross the river early tomorrow morning, first go down to Yizhou and Dingzhou, and then besiege Tieshan City, wait for Mao Wenlong's southern barbarians to come to the rescue, and then our army besieges the city to help, and destroys this thief in one fell swoop." What do you two think? ”

The Euiju mentioned here is, of course, the Euiju located on the other side of the Yalu River in North Korea, which is later called Shinuiju.

Liu Aita, that is, Liu Xingzuo, first looked at Amin, and then at Azig, and saw that Azig was pondering, so he didn't dare to speak first.

Sure enough, after a while, Azig said: "It's not bad to besiege the city and send reinforcements, but since my army has come, why not bypass Yizhou and Dingzhou, and go straight to Tieshan." Iron Mountain City is a must-save place for Dongjiang Town. Attacking the enemy must be saved, which is the best strategy for besieging the city and sending reinforcements. I wonder what the second Baylor thinks? ”

At this time, Azig was only twenty-four years old, and in terms of seniority and status, compared to Amin, who was already in his forties, it was far behind, but the problem was that Azig was the twelfth biological son of the old slave slave Hachi, and one of the more favored sons in his later years.

If you talk about the distance between relatives, Amin can't do it, after all, he is only the nephew of the old slave, and he is such a nephew who was adopted by the old slave after killing his father and brother when he was young.

After Azig said this, Amin's face was not very happy, and he said: "I have fought North Korea, and I know that there are not many defenders in Yizhou and Dingzhou, but there are many Han people, if we abandon it and go straight to besiege Tieshan City, if the defenders of Yizhou and Dingzhou recruit people to save Tieshan, we will be attacked on both sides, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" ”

After saying this, Amin didn't give Azig a chance to refute, and asked Liu Xingzuo directly: "Aita, what do you think should be?" ”

Liu Xingzuo saw that the two of them had an awkward quarrel, and said in his heart that this was really a godsend, so he thought about it and said: "What the two Baylors and the twelve Baylors said is reasonable. From the perspective of the minions, if the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements is decided, why don't our army besiege Yizhou in Jiangdong, wait for the Ming army of Dongjiang Town to come to help, and then attack it in the field.

"If you are worried that there are few soldiers in Yizhou, and Dongjiang Town will not come to the rescue of Yizhou, it is better for our army to fight in Zhenjiang Fort for a few days, Mao Wenlong's department knows that our army is here, whether he knows the true intention of our army or not, I believe that he will come to send troops to reinforce Yizhou. When the reinforcements enter the city, our army will surround it again, and I am afraid that Mao Wenlong will have to be rescued at that time. This is a little bit of a minion's opinion. Please refer to the two Baylors. ”

The three of them had three opinions, Amin touched his freshly shaved head, and finally said simply: "Before the army left, the Great Khan had said in advance, everything should be decided by the three of us, and if the three disagree, I will be the master." Now that the three of us don't agree, it's up to me to make a decision. Do you have any opinions? ”

This time, Liu Xingzuo said first: "What the Great Khan said, the slave knows, and naturally obeys it, and the slave asks Erbeile to make a decision." ”

Liu Xingzuo's meaning was obvious, that is, he wanted to leave enough time for Mao Wenlong's troops in Dongjiang Town to react, and try not to let the Houjin army bypass Yizhou and Dingzhou and go straight to Tieshan City.

Liu Xingzuo fled Houjin and returned to the Ming Dynasty, and now he was ordered to follow Amin and Azig to conquer Dongjiang Town, which seemed to him to be a good opportunity. No matter if you defect or whatever, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can escape to the side of the Ming Dynasty.

This thought was already in place at the end of August when Mao Wenlong sent someone to contact the Liu brothers, and several of his brothers were also secretly making preparations.

As soon as Liu Xingzuo's words were said, although Azig still wanted to oppose it, but now two to one, and Amin and Liu Xingzuo were not wrong, before leaving, Huang Taiji did say such things in order to unify the power at a critical moment.

Therefore, Azig had no choice but to say: "What the Great Khan says, I should obey." It's just that my army came from afar, and it should be taken by surprise to attack it unprepared, and when Dongjiang Town did not react, it raided Tieshan City with lightning speed. Now Erbeile said that he would fight Yizhou and Dingzhou first, and if such a city was defeated, and the army would besiege Tieshan again, how could Dongjiang Town be unprepared? Please also ask the second Baylor to consider again! ”

When Amin heard this, it seemed to make sense, and just as he wanted to speak, Liu Xingzuo once again preemptively said: "What Twelve Baylor said is naturally true. However, in a few days, my army rushed from Shenyang to Zhenjiang Fort, and was already exhausted, if it was early tomorrow morning, and then galloped all the way to the foot of Tieshan City, it must be the end of the strong crossbow, how could we launch a battle?! At that time, if the defenders of Tieshan come out of the city to attack, will we fight or not? If you fight, you will be tired, and if you don't fight, you will lose all your spirit! From the perspective of a minion, it is better to be safe step by step. ”

After hearing this, Azig glanced at Liu Xingzuo thoughtfully, but before he could speak again, Amin had already said: "Aita's words are reasonable!" I have made up my mind, cross the river tomorrow morning and attack Uiju first! ”

After discussing the matter in Amin's big tent, Liu Xingzuo returned to his camp, and soon recruited his younger brother Liu Xingzhi and his confidant general Jin Yingkui.

And now the general guarding the east gate of Zhenjiang Fort is Liu Xingzuo's other younger brother Liu Xingxian.

Soon after Liu Xingxian saw the visitor, he also sent his henchman, a personal soldier named Wang Bi, to go out of the east gate overnight.

Since Amin's eldest son, Erli, is now stationed along the river, controlling all the ferries near Zhenjiang Fort, and collecting all the ferries near Zhenjiang Fort, Wang Bi did not try to cross the river to Yizhou or Tieshan, on the contrary, he chose to go all the way south, until he left the mouth of the Yalu River for more than ten miles, and then turned east and came to Dadonggou by the sea.

Today's Dadonggou is the Donggang of later generations, and the southeast sea of Dadonggou is an island deployed by Dongjiang Town, named Daludao.

Not long after Wang Bi came here, he lit a red lantern at a place by the sea.

Not long after, a small boat appeared on the sea. Seeing that the ship was docked, Wang Bi quickly got on the boat and followed the boat in the direction of Daludao.
