In the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Chongzhen, just as Huang Taiji was rushing back with tens of thousands of Eight Banners disciples, the Yunfu cavalry had already crossed Qingzhou and headed east. On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Guoneng led an army of 6,000 to the edge of the woods.
Tali Mountain.
The Yunfu Iron Cavalry did not ravage the Horqin tribe as everyone expected. Instead, they sent an elite force straight into the Eastern Mutali Mountains and launched a fierce attack on the descendants of the Duoyan Guards entrenched here. At the same time, Tie Mo ordered all the tribes to assemble
The heavy troops were stationed between Linxi and Qingzhou, with the obvious intention of blocking Lin Danhan's troops to the west.
Although Tie Mo didn't say anything clearly, Lin Dan Khan saw it very clearly. He could do whatever he wanted to plunder the Kalaqin tribe, but the Horqin tribe couldn't move. If it wanted to move, it could only be done by the Yunfu cavalry. In normal times, Lin Dan Khan would
He had long been angry. In Liaodong, except for Guan Ning's cavalry and Hou Jin's soldiers and horses, Lin Danhan didn't need to worry about others at all. Tie Mo, an outsider, actually set the rules.
But this time, Lin Danhan had no choice but to endure it. The artillery used by the Han before was too terrifying. Who knows if the Han still had more than a dozen such artillery hidden? If a conflict broke out rashly, he might be the unlucky one.
On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Tie Mo personally led 3,000 cavalry deep into the Horqin tribe. At the same time, Liu Guoneng had already led his troops to attack Mutali Mountain, and then headed south, approaching the Liaohe River. What is surprising is that the Horqin tribe did not put up any fierce resistance.
remove
In addition to the desperate resistance led by Lamot, a thousand tribesmen who arrived in the direction of Tuquan, the Yunfu cavalry did not encounter any obstruction after entering Horqin's tribe. Although Horqin Khan Buhe sent troops to stop them, they only stationed troops in Kailu.
There is no intention to move forward.
The Yunfu Cavalry obviously penetrated deeply into the Horqin tribe, but in fact it was several tribes near Mutali Mountain that suffered a heavy blow. These tribes are all descendants of Duoyanwei, and later merged with the Haidong Jurchens, and most of them are supported by Huang Taiji's cronies.
who.
What is happening now is so weird that even Dorgon who is based in Shenyang cannot see through Tie Mo's intentions. However, Dorgon did not send troops to Liaohe, but continued to increase troops in Jinshan. Dorgon used practical actions to
Conveyed to Tie Mo
With this signal, Tie Mo can torment the northern tribes and even plunder Haidong. Dorgon will not pay attention to him, but he must not touch the Haixi tribes. As long as the Yunfu cavalry does not torment Shenyang and Haixi, Dorgon will
Just continue to stand still.
Tie Mo naturally understood Dorgon's intention, and he readily accepted it. What's more, from beginning to end, he had no intention of going deep into the Jurchen hinterland.
Zalut made a temporary camp. Tie Mo held a bowl of decoction and gently blew the hot air. Sun Chengzong was wrapped in a cloak and coughed from time to time.
"Teacher, I have advised you not to come with me before. It would be better to stay in Qingzhou. This poor place in Liaodong is extremely cold in winter. If something goes wrong with you, how can the students feel at ease?"
Sun Chengzong took a sip of the hot soup and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's just a slight wind and cold. Hey, after all, he is old and his body and bones are not as big as before. If he were twenty years younger, why would he be like this?"
Wang Zuogao on the side smiled secretly. He had never thought that Commander Sun also had such a childlike side. A few days ago, Tie Shouwei persuaded Commander Sun not to come to Horqin with the army, but Commander Sun was uneasy and insisted.
Come along, hey, I don’t know why Governor Sun is worried
? Others don’t know, but Wang Zuoguan and others know that this time they came to Horqin’s tribe not to fight, but to form a secret alliance. Hai Lanzhu is the future eldest lady, and Yun Mansion has nothing to do with Horqin.
There is a conflict of interest, and only a fool would fight with Horqin.
After Sun Chengzong finished drinking the medicine, Wang Zuoguan started talking about business, "Dorgon has been increasing troops in Jinshan. It seems that he doesn't want us to go south into Haixi. In addition, we just got news that Ye He's tribe has sent troops to Kaixi."
Lu, help the Horqin tribe guard Kailu. Next, do we want to fight eastward?"
Tie Mo held his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "If we don't fight, Dorgon just wants us to weaken Huang Taiji's strength. Why should we act as knives for Dorgon? Give the order and let Liu Guoneng be on guard against Jinshan. I'm not at ease."
Dorgon."
"Well, Tuquan also needs a general to be stationed there. Otherwise, if there is a change in the rear, we will have no way out!"
Now Tie Mo was in trouble. After all, there were too few people under his command who could really do things. Ruan Sangou, Orge, Tuo Buhua and others could charge into the battle, but let them guard one side, so forget it. They
I don’t have the brains. The only generals under my command that can really be reused now are Liu Guoneng and Zhou Dingshan. Hey, if there were more people like Liu Guoneng under my command, why would they be in such trouble?
After a while, Wang Zuogao scratched his forehead and said with a wry smile: "That's all, it seems that I'd better go to Tuquan for a few days. But General, we can't delay too long. Huang Taiji's Eight Banners disciples will soon return for reinforcements."
Although Lin Dan Khan is blocking the southwest direction of Shenyang, my subordinates are very worried that Lin Dan Khan will deliberately let the Tatars come over."
Sun Chengzong pointed his finger at the table, and a sneer flashed across his lips: "It's not a possibility, but a certainty. Lin Danhan is cunning and cunning, and he won't be able to get up early without any benefit. He will definitely not be happy if we ask him to block the rear Jin soldiers and horses for us.
. He is expecting us to fight to the death with the Jin army. Mr. Wang, don’t worry, the army will return to Gyeongju in two days at most."
While they were talking, someone opened the door curtain and walked in. Sun Chengzong was furious. Who could be so bold and come in without permission during the discussion?
Just when he was about to get angry, Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and smiled when he saw the person coming. The person coming was none other than Hai Lanzhu, who was disguised as a man. Although he was wearing armor, his fair skin and delicate face still couldn't cover up his body.
Elegance.
Hai Lanzhu disguised herself as a man and hid among the guards. Only a few people in the house knew about this. After entering, Hai Lanzhu knelt down beside Tie Mo gracefully and said softly: "Father Khan and eldest brother have already
Here we are, waiting in the small town of Groot three miles away."
"Well, let's go there right away!"
Groot is just a small town near Zalut, with a very small population. Zalut is fifty miles away from Kailu, and Kailu is only a hundred miles away from Shenyang. Ordinarily, the small town near Zalut is also
It can be regarded as the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province, but unfortunately, there is no bustling scene here. In the cold wind, it is as cold as a knife, and pedestrians are almost extinct. In this way, in the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province in the Ming Dynasty, there are blooming flowers and an endless stream of pedestrians.
In order not to attract attention, Tie Mo put on Jurchen clothes and rushed to the small town of Groot with only a dozen of his followers. There were no pedestrians on the narrow and cold streets. Occasionally, he saw a certain house steaming.
There was a burst of black smoke. The dark tavern exuded a damp musty smell.
Walking into the tavern, there were only two oil lamps burning wantonly. Unfortunately, the lights were dim and could not illuminate the whole room. Tie Mo smiled bitterly. A guard and a tribal Khan met, and they made an appointment in such a shabby place. It was simply shocking.
I was speechless. But this is no wonder Buhe. Apart from this tavern, there seems to be no suitable place in Groot Town.
After entering the house, they saw two people wearing furs and wrapped like bears sitting in the corner, and there were several knife-handed guards standing around them. Hai Lanzhu stood at the door, as if petrified, she was stunned
He looked at the person in the corner, and at some point, his eyes were reddish and filled with tears. Tie Mo smiled bitterly in his heart, held Hai Lanzhu's hand tightly, and gently pulled it.
"Don't cry, it's such a wonderful day, why are you still crying?"
Hai Lanzhu turned her beautiful eyes and took a fierce look, "It's not all your fault. If it weren't for you, why would this happen!"
Tie Menu was speechless and didn't say anything back. He unintentionally kidnapped Hai Lanzhu. If he couldn't find a way to keep it with him, wouldn't he be a big fool? The only one to blame was that Tie Menu was too weak at the time, which caused Hai Lanzhu to suffer.
It took more than a year before I dared to contact my family.
In the corner, the two men had already stood up. The older one had opened his arms in excitement, "My child, you are finally here."
Hai Lanzhu couldn't help the longing in her heart anymore and plunged into the man's arms. Tie Mo touched his nose awkwardly, and there was a cold snort. For some reason, Tie Mo felt a wave of energy coming from Wu Keshan.
hostility.
When father and daughter met, they had many things to say, but Tie Mo was sensible and did not interrupt.
In a small room, there were only Bu He and Hai Lanzhu, and even Wu Keshan was driven outside. When Wu Keshan came out of the room and saw Tie Mo, he glared in a bad tone, "You are so courageous.
I stole Hai Lanzhu and kept it a secret for so long."
Tie Mo shrugged noncommittally and said with a wry smile: "If it were you, what would you do? Who wouldn't be moved by a beauty like Hai Lanzhu?"
"Hmph, I'm giving you an advantage. Hai Lanzhu is the most beautiful woman in Liaohe. If that bastard Minte hadn't made a mistake, who would have gotten you?"
Tie Mo was very dissatisfied and curled his lips and said: "Is Tie so bad? In your heart, you are only happy if you marry Hai Lanzhu to that old man Lin Danhan?"
"snort!"
Wu Keshan stared and turned his head to the side.
...
In the room, Bu He looked Hai Lanzhu up and down. Apart from the slightly red eyes, his daughter's appearance was even better than before. It could be seen that Tie Mo was very kind to her daughter.
"My child, there is no one else here. Tell your father the truth. Is Tie Mo worth forming an alliance with?"
"Father, how can I harm you? In the past, I always thought that Huang Taiji could monopolize Liaodong. But after meeting Tie Mo, I realized how big the world is and how many talented people there are. In terms of mind, Tie Mo is no better.
Huang Taiji is bad. Father Khan may not know that Tie Mo came from a humble background, but it took him two years to achieve what he is today. Father Khan may not have much idea about the four cities of Yun Mansion, so let me tell you something specific."
"Tie Mo is the leader of the Shanxi merchants, and the Shanxi merchants respect him. Do you know how powerful the Shanxi merchants are? I witnessed it with my own eyes in Zhangbei. With Tie Mo's words, the Shanxi merchants can raise one hundred thousand yuan in a few days.
Ordnance of the army,
The food and wages needed for the army for three months were transported. Mobei Aba Dai Khan was so powerful that even Lin Dan Khan and Huang Taiji did not dare to say that they could defeat Aba Dai. However, Aba Dai went south many times, but lost his troops and generals at the hands of Tie Mo.
"
"Haier said these things not just because he is Tie Mo's woman. Father, in my opinion, Tie Mo is more worthy of Horqin's trust. You should not have married your sister to Huang Taiji in the first place."
The sadness shown by Hai Lanzhu makes people feel heartbroken. The conflict between Tie Mo and Huang Taiji is irreconcilable, and how should Hai Lanzhu and her sister Bumu Butai face the future situation?
Bu He was shocked by everything Hai Lanzhu said. Bu He, who was far away in Liaodong, had heard many things and did not know the real details of Tie Mo. It took a few days to collect 100,000 military supplies. What kind of energy is this?
, as long as Tie Mo is willing, he can raise a hundred thousand elite soldiers in Yun Mansion. This kind of power is too terrifying.
As for Bumu Butai, although Bu He felt sad, he never regretted it, "A woman from the Golden Family must have an awareness of the fate she faces since she was born. Bu Mu Butai, and your aunt,
They are the pearls of Horqin, and they need to make some sacrifices for Horqin's future. Moreover, marrying Huang Taiji is not an grievance. As for what will happen in the future, no one can say. Father Han also talked with Zhezhe and Bumbutai
I said, no matter what happens in the future, I will keep you alive."
Hailanzhu lowered his head slightly and showed a wry smile, "Father, if there ever comes a day, I hope to let the child choose for himself."
"Hai Lanzhu...my child...have you really fallen in love with that man?"
"Yes, he is the only one in my heart, Father Khan, do you believe it? The happiest thing in my life is that he snatched Zhang Bei and did not marry Lin Danhan... In my eyes, he
This is the man I want, he is an eagle in the sky, he has already flown into my heart!"
"You...hey" Bu He pointed at Hai Lanzhu and sighed helplessly.
.......
Early the next morning, Tie Mo left Groot Town with Hai Lanzhu. As for what Tie Mo and Bu He talked about in their secret meeting, only they know.
On the same day, the Yunfu cavalry began to withdraw troops from Horqin's territory, passing through Tuquan and returning to Qingzhou. At the same time, shocking news came out that Horqin's most beautiful woman, Hai Lanzhu, was married to Zhangbei.
Tie Mo became the first lady of the General's Palace.
At this time, the whole Liaodong was completely blown up. Lin Dan's skull almost flew off due to sweat. Hai Lanzhu was originally his Fujin, but was snatched away by Tie Mo. To be precise, the two parties hated each other for stealing his wife.
.
If he had known this news earlier, Lin Danhan would have withdrawn his troops long ago, leaving a way out, leaving the Yunfu soldiers and horses in the dilemma of being attacked from two sides. However, Tie Mo had already withdrawn to Qingzhou. Tie Mo was fooled this time.
, unless Lin Danhan is determined to fight with Tie Mo, but for a woman, Lin Danhan can't make up his mind to fight with the other party under such terrible fire.
On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan sent his troops westward and withdrew from the Haraqin territory. By now, Lin Dan Khan's intention was obvious. Aren't you Tie Mo awesome? You can fight the Jurchens yourself. I am Lin Dan.
Khan won’t accompany you anymore.
Dorgon, who was in Shenyang, also had a wry smile on his face. No wonder Tie Mo not only refused to fight Horqin, but also blocked Lin Danhan in the west, and had such a relationship with Horqin. Haha, these are enough to give Huang Taiji a headache.
He and Tie Mo are brothers-in-law.
At the top of Qingzhou City, Tie Mo held the battlements and looked to the west with disdain, "This old guy Lin Danhan is so useless. He really can't beat Huang Taiji."
Hai Lanzhu, still dressed as a soldier, leaned on Tie Mo's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "If it were you, what would you do?"
"How to do it? If anyone steals my woman, I will fight him to death!"
"True?"
"It really can't be true anymore!"
Tie Mo glared seriously, causing Hai Lanzhu to smile coquettishly.
