How did Xiong Tingbi die in Liaodong back then? Historical books say that he was harmed by the eunuch party. In fact, if you have a careful analysis, you can find something that is impossible.

The real cause of Xiong Tingbi's death was because the Donglin Party wanted to save Wang Huazhen. Guangning was defeated by Guangning. Wang Huazhen had an unshirkable responsibility. The inner grandson of the Later Jin Dynasty was also Wang Huazhen's confidant. After Guangning's defeat, Wang Huazhen would definitely be unable to escape death. In order to save Wang Huazhen, the Donglin Party pushed all the blame to Xiong Tingbi. But in fact, whether it was Emperor Tianqi or Wei Zhongxian, hesitant about whether to kill Xiong Tingbi.

For this reason, Wang Wenyan, the think tank of the Donglin Party, set up a vicious plan to kill people by borrowing a knife. Wang Wenyan told Wei Zhongxian that Xiong Tingbi would use 40,000 taels of silver to buy his life from Wei Zhongxian.

But Xiong Tingbi was a clean official, so how could he have 40,000 taels of silver? Needless to say, Xiong Tingbi couldn't afford the silver. Wei Zhongxian thought Xiong Tingbi had fooled him and was furious, so he ordered the killing of Xiong Tingbi.

After careful consideration, you will know how could Xiong Tingbi ask Wang Wenyan to tell Wei Zhongxian that he would spend 40,000 taels of silver to buy his life? First, Xiong Tingbi doesn’t have that much silver at all; second, Xiong Tingbi has offended many Donglin Party members, how could he ask the Donglin Party members to help him pass the message?

It can be seen from this that Xiong Tingbi's death is inseparable from the Donglin Party. It can even be considered that it is not impossible to have Donglin Party officials secretly collude with the enemy!

However, Wang Huazhen lived until the fifth year of Chongzhen before being executed! Wang Huazhen was Ye Xianggao's student and Ye Xianggao's aide Liu Ce were brothers of the same school. Of course, it goes without saying that the Donglin Party has always protected Wang Huazhen without principles!

However, this time, although Liu Ce escaped from the Jin army's search, he was undoubtedly dead.

Although Li Laoer didn't know that Huang Taiji and Fan Yongdou tried to use the hands of civil servants to eradicate themselves, he loved history in his previous lives and loved reading historical novels, he knew very well about Xiong Tingbi's affairs. Every time he read this history, he could be said to have a grim aversion to those civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

So in the past few days, when his brothers asked, "Why are we loyal to the country and are determined to return to Ming to reimburse the court, but they are rejected by the court?" Li Laoer said, "It is a blessing to have a loss of his horse."

Thinking of Xiong Tingbi's incident, Li Laoer knew that hidden arrows were hard to defend against, especially those civil servants who used their pen as their swords, which was simply unpredictable. To be honest, Li Laoer's level of political struggle was not bad, but the civil and nobles and martial arts of the Ming Dynasty determined that the civil servants had a high status. Even if Li Laoer had a high political level, it would be difficult to escape the civil servants' plot.

So he now figured it out that this time he could not be recruited and became an officer and soldier. It would be a good thing after a few years. When Li Zicheng and others started to make trouble, as long as they had soldiers in their hands, they would be the boss, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, and He Renlong? In the end, the warlords spoke strongly. Chongzhen later killed the civil servants, but the warlords did not dare to move.

After this battle, more than 100 of his 700 elite cavalry were injured or killed, of which more than 30 were killed. Although more than 20 people could be rescued, they were already disabled after being rescued.

The injured brothers were sent back to Tongzhou first. Li Laoer, with more than 600 brothers, and together with Youdai's more than 2,100 Ming cavalry, marched along the Chaobai River. He passed by and the villages he saw were empty. The people in these villages either left after listening to the Ming army's advice or stayed without listening to the advice, and ended up being robbed by the Jin army.

As soon as Li Laoer and You Dai walked five miles away, they received a report from Ye Bushou, saying that they found Korqin Mongolian cavalrymen appearing behind them, with a population of five or six thousand.

Although the Mongolian cavalry is far less combative than the Jurchen cavalry, they march very fast, especially good at tracking and chasing. They are closely connected with the Ming army to harass and attack. If you take action to drive him, he will take advantage of his high mobility and withdraw immediately; if you ignore him, he will rush up and pester you, and shoot a few rounds of feather arrows with a bow from time to time.

Once the Ming army was targeted by the Mongolians, it would be like a maggot with its tits and would be very uncomfortable.

"There is an abandoned village two miles away, let's enter the village." Li Laoer gave the order.

The village ahead is a large village with more than a thousand people. Now the village is empty. According to Youdai's introduction, the villagers of this village have retreated safely. Most of the young and strong have come to Tongzhou, while most of the women, children, elderly and weak have gone to the capital to take refuge.

"The Mongolian Tartars actually saw us, so we came out and continued to walk towards Tongzhou. You set up an ambush here." You Dai made a suggestion.

This terrain is a river on one side and a wheat field on the other. There is an abandoned village by the river. The Mongolian cavalry cannot speed up, and it is the best battlefield for dealing with Mongolian cavalry. However, the Mongolians will not run to the terrain that is unfavorable to them to die, so they need to give him some bait.

The two thousand, one hundred Ming army cavalry can be taken out as bait.

You Dai led 2,100 Ming cavalry out of the village, ran along the river bank, and headed towards Tongzhou.

This Mongolian cavalry is a mixed cavalry of the Zarut tribe and the Bahrain tribe, with a total of 5,600 troops.

"Mingdog is coming out! Let's chase!" Mongolian Belebasgar shouted.

Badari Chonohe reminded: "Beller, be careful that dogs are cheating."

Lebaisgar pointed to the direction of the Ming army's withdrawal and laughed: "You think I don't know the number? Just now, there were only more than 2,000 people entering the village, but now there are still more than 2,000 people going out. Even if there are ambushes, only 5,600 people will be at the top! We have nearly 6,000 troops, so why fear a mere five or six hundred Ming dogs!"

Li Lao Er and the six hundred brothers who were lying in the village, each of them held a pair of step bows seized from the Jurchens. The Jurchen step bow was extremely powerful, and it could shoot light arrows that could shoot 150 steps away. When shooting heavy arrows on a flat side, although the arrow speed was slow and could only shoot 50 steps away, the long and heavy arrows had a strong stopping effect. When shooting an arrow at a distance of thirty to forty steps, the chain mail could shoot through it.

When dealing with Mongolian cavalry, Li Laoer ordered to replace it with light arrows. These Mongolians were not Korqin people, and even had very few basic leather armor. In fact, they were just a group of herders wearing civilian clothes.

The Mongolians were also worried that there would be an ambush in the village, so when they were chasing You Dai and the others, they chased them from the avenue a hundred steps outside the village. In that way, even if the Ming army really had an ambush, the Mongolians would have time to prepare.

Every cavalry under Li Laoer set off his bow and arrows and stood beside the war horse. According to Li Laoer's order, each person would immediately get on the horse and charge at the Mongols outside.

After half of the Mongol cavalry passed, the tiger-toothed knife in Li Laoer's hand pointed to the outside of the village: "Let it go!"
