On September 20, the 15th year of Wanli, the army of Liaozhen gathered in Shenyang City, advanced east along the Hunhe River, stopped for a while at the Qianhu Station of Fushun, and then left Fushun Pass and entered Jianzhou.

This time, the general of Liao Town concentrated an army of 80,000, including more than 12,000 cavalry, and most of them were the personal soldiers of the generals. This number was already the size of the Liao Town army's western expedition to Duolun the previous year.

In this battle, Li Pinghu and Qin Deyi were both vanguards, leading their troops to walk in the front, which was also the most difficult and dangerous position. There was no way, after the defeat, they could only make meritorious service. Li Chengliang himself led the army, and the one who cut off the rear was Sun Shoulian, the deputy general of Liao Town.

The rear army was to protect the grain roads and receive the wounded. To put it bluntly, it was just a miscellaneous job. Jianzhou was close to Liao Town, and there was actually no grain roads. As for receiving the wounded, the rear army was located almost in Liao Town, and there were local military generals to handle it.

Sun Shoulian was helpless with this, and he also understood what Li Chengliang meant. Although Li Pinghu and Qin Deyi failed, Liao Town invested so much strength this time, victory was almost certain. If there was victory, there would naturally be military achievements. Sun Shoulian now opened a government office and set up a yamen to guard one side. He was not from Liao Town, so why bother him with the help?

Fortunately, Sun Shoulian was open-minded and got the position of General Shou, and now he cooperated with Tianjin Wei to make a fortune. If he had anything to do, he would do what he wanted.

It took only a few days to set off from Chenyang to Fushun Pass. On September 25, the army was approaching Sarhu.

The originally vague situation of the Jurchens suddenly became clear these days. Some people said that this was caused by the power of General Li, the clan's panic caused by the panic of the clan.

This is flattery. In fact, everyone knows that there is no need to block and block the children now, because their troops are gathered in Jiefanzhai, and now there are more than 10,000 soldiers, which seems to be a big battle.

At the moment, the Jurchens are going to fight the main force. Liaozhen mobilized nearly 100,000 troops, and with the Jianzhou Jurchens, it could mobilize more than 10,000, which is almost the old foundation. This is because Liaozhen is watching the Jianzhou Jurchens fight in the east and west, expanding a lot of power, otherwise he could give out eight thousand.

All the generals of Liao Town found it ridiculous after winning several battles. After winning several battles, they were really forgetful. If they wanted to touch the stone and seek death, no one would pay attention to Liao Town's great achievements.

"Sarhu is a mountain pass, and there must be no more people here for a while. It is a good place to cut off. Li Rubai led your troops to guard this place without any mistakes."

"The father and son can fight here, so what should we do next to Sarhu? Let's do it"

"This is a military order!!"

When discussing matters in the military tent, Li Chengliang scolded Li Rubai without hesitation. He was a veteran and made a stable arrangement. However, in the tent, except for the deputy general Ma Lin, the rest of the people were his sons and nephews, otherwise Li Rubai would also ignore the rules.

Li Rubai quickly took the order when Li Chengliang scolded him so loudly.

"Jiefanzhai is the intersection of Hunhe and Suzihe. Although Jiefanzhai is at a high place, the regulations of Jiefanzhai are too small and cannot accommodate too many soldiers. The terrain under Jiefanzhai is flat, and their formation must be there, and the battle is also here." Everyone nodded. The generals in the commander's tent were very familiar with the terrain here. In the past, they had to deal with the slaw cavalry of the Taining tribe and the Duoyan tribe, and they took turns to fight on the side walls, and they had a bottom in their hearts. "Master, since the Donglu has come out in full, how about the Pingguan leading a side army to Gule or Maerdun to cut off their rear food routes?"

Seeing Li Chengliang setting up there, Deputy General Ma Lin went out and asked for battle in a deep voice. He bowed. In the tent, the Li family generals and the other members exchanged their eyes with each other, and were quite disdainful. As a military general, Ma Lin spent his days talking about poetry and papers with a group of staff, and made up the appearance of a Confucian general. The generals in Liaozhen have always looked down on him.

"No need, we must strive for complete victory in this battle. Our army should spare no effort. When we get on the war, we must devote all our efforts to completely defeat the Eastern Captains. If we divide our troops and cut off the enemy's retreat, it will easily cause the enemy to disperse. Our army will not be able to catch up with it. At that time, we will hit the empty space with one punch, losing the original intention of sending troops this time."

"The officer is reckless, don't blame the general."

Ma Lin still understood the advance and retreat of the officialdom, so he quickly bowed and spoke. Li Chengliang nodded. If Ma Lin was not the deputy general, he would not have said so much. Li Chengliang was not going to let Sun Shoulian get military merits, and the same was true for Ma Lin.

The deputy general of Liaonan, Bashoulian, simply did not participate in the military discussion. He was busy in the rear with his military work. Although he couldn't see him above, he still got along well below. Who doesn't know how to do business by chopping the deputy general. If you want to make a fortune, you have to rely on the senior vice general's attention and help.

Don’t stop at the same time have important tasks. Every day, there are several fast horses starting from him, rushing to the pass without stopping, and sending the news to Wang Tong.

This move was not concealed by others, nor was it a collaboration with the enemy. It seemed that it was a matter of course to inform the military of the tycoons. Moreover, the most important military officers admired the other deputy generals' big hands. From Shenyang to the capital, they had to arrange stations along the way to ensure smooth information. There were no more than a hundred horses and hundreds of people who were able to maintain it, but they could not do this........., "Everything is just the rules, which makes me feel unsure!"

The news kept passing to Wang Tong, and Wang Tong made such an evaluation.

"Nurhaci has fought for so many years. He has worked in a military academy in Liao Town. He will not understand the principles on the battlefield. Even if the Jurchen soldiers are strong, the number is too great. Nurhaci will not be seeking death clearly.

When he is outside the situation, some things can be clearly judged and analyzed. Li Chengliang may not be able to do this in the situation. There are not many people who can accompany Wang Tong to analyze and discuss military affairs in the capital. Neither Ma Sanbiao nor Chen Dahe is good at strategy, and the rest are either naturalized or in Tianjin Wei.

Wang Tong said a few words, and Ma Sanbiao said, "I have also read the news sent from there. The soldiers of the Donglu are indeed braver than ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They dare to fight and are not afraid of death, but they can't be one-to-one. Moreover, the tens of thousands of private soldiers from Liao Town have also walked out of the formation this time. No matter how you think about it, the Donglu is dead."

The Jurchen tribes also had master-slave relationships, but after all, they were relatively primitive and not seriously recorded. Their living conditions were better than those of the farmers in the Ming Dynasty. People from the North were also taller and stronger. The relatively primitive social form and fishing and hunting operations gave them certain military skills and courage far beyond ordinary soldiers.

These are their advantages. The infantry of the Ming Dynasty often went to the battlefield with weapons, with farmers taking off food and pay, and were usually oppressed, beaten and scolded like slaves. The morale of the army is not talked about. With this comparison, the victory or defeat is naturally clear. Nearly 100,000 troops in Liao Town, almost 70% of them are such soldiers.

But what does Liao Town rely on to become famous all over the world? It is his private soldiers with more than 10,000 equipment, superb combat skills, and dare to charge. These are the core of Liao Town. In front of the largest professional martial arts group in the Ming Dynasty, these more than 10,000 Jurchens are nothing.

It is precisely because of this huge gap that Wang Tong felt in his heart that fighting is a major matter of life and death. How can he be treated lightly? There must be something strange about doing this.

"Li Chengliang did this as a matter of course. His army gathered together and a fist moved forward. Even if the target captain wanted to launch a surprise attack and attack, they had no choice in front of such a large army. Once the army moved, all surprise troops would be crushed. This was also a complete solution!"

Wang Tong knew where Chen Dahe came from. He said it when he led his army to conquer naturalization, and seemed to have also been told in the class at the Huwei Wu Hall.

At the end of the discussion, Wang Tong just shook his head and sighed, and said, "We can only talk about nothing here, and we can't do anything, let's see!"

The news is delivered at the fastest time. What Wang Tong saw here was the news from Liao Town ten days ago. Everything was normal and was proceeding step by step.

That is, when Wang Tong turned his attention to Jianzhou, news came from Jizhen that the Duolun area has been occupied by the Chahar tribe. Although there are still tribes in the Korqin tribe here, there seems to be no resistance. This news is confirmed with the news of the armed forces of the merchant group. The advance cavalry and herdsmen of the Chahar tribe were found to be in conflict and pursuing. There are very few tribes in the Korqin tribe. Occasionally, they found that most of the tribes were old and weak, and they were migrating eastward.

On the second day of the 15th year of Wanli, the battle in Jianzhou should have started, or even finished, but the news sent to the capital was still on the eve of the war. It was nothing more than the soldiers who used their lives and prepared for it. Tomorrow, they would definitely win a great victory, etc. The news Wang Tong received was similar to this, and everything was normal.........

On the third day of the 10th month of the 15th year of Wanli, the guards at the east gate of the capital leaned against the wall to bask in the sun. The weather had become colder, and the afternoon sun was shining on their bodies, which was very warm and comfortable, and it was a rare enjoyment in the day.

Just when I was in a daze when I closed my eyes, I heard a noise and chaos. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the carriages and horses in front of the city gate were dodging, and a few were riding horses and running wildly.

The soldiers of the five cities' military personnel are very experienced. Someone went to move to resist horses. A thousand general shouted the soldiers and blocked the city gate, forcing the riders to stop, and shouted loudly: "At the emperor's feet, you can go into the city and check it out. You guys are also officials, don't you know the rules!"
