91. Cheng Ye Li Chengliang

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the valley retreating like a tide, my heart was as cold as ice. Uncle Lei Feng wrote in his diary that he should treat the enemy as cold as the severe winter. No matter how many things happen to this diary that has been discussed by people later, this sentence is correct.

You can see that Li Chengliang's headquarters in Zhenyi Fort opened the city and drove out, and joined the team on the two winged hills like tigers going down the mountain to chase and kill the remaining troops!

Now my direction has become the only escape direction for this unit. The military strategy says: "The encirclement of troops will be missing", which means that the enemy cannot block the retreat path. Enemies without retreat will inevitably turn around and fight to the death. Just give them an exit, and the enemy will flee with luck!

I ordered the entire army to defend the mountain and the fortifications of the subordinates. When I quickly retreated to the vicinity, I did not rush down the mountain to chase, but instead used muskets and bows to snipe! This move once again accelerated the defeat of the remaining unit!

After finally escaping from the valley, the remaining troops of the army were quickly defeated. They thought they had finally escaped, but they were hit hard again! The formation that had just been reorganized was in chaos again! No matter how Bu Yantu, Baoxai and others restrained them, the enemy's cavalry team ignored it, but began to retreat to the north like a retreating tide!

I just watched them escape, not chasing them. The adjutant reminded me several times, meaning whether to advance to pursue the army? I smiled and looked back at Lakshen.

Lakshen understood and said with a smile: "Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, hunting so leisurely is the right way. It is really unwise to move forward and fight with the tiger head-on!"

I looked at him, smiled at each other, turned my head. Harvest will always come, but not now.

In this way, with the reinforcements of the cavalry team led by me "release the water", I quickly stopped 70% of the remaining troops around the hill where I was, and the remaining ones were less than 30% of the cavalry that entered the valley first!

These cavalrymen quickly took the elite troops of this unit, but they entered the deepest valley and suffered the most damage. At this moment, everyone was injured and was at the end of their strength!

Seeing this, I ordered the commander to order: The entire army will be on the horse! Prepare for assault! Suddenly, the cavalry team skillfully put away simple fortifications and set up horses to prepare for war!

When the enemy at the foot of the mountain saw it, he knew that the god of death would eventually swing! Regardless of the team behind, the front team accelerated to escape north, and the remaining troops behind were even more panicked!

I shouted: "All army! Follow me to charge!" I squeezed my legs and the horse's belly. The war horse under my crotch made a long neigh, and began to rush down quickly! When our soldiers saw the main general charge, they activated the war horses and followed closely behind! They rushed towards the 30% of the seriously injured elites who were at the end!

On the one hand, he was full of murderous intentions and defending his country's new force, and took advantage of the acceleration of the downhill to raise the impact to the highest level; on the other hand, he was killed from dawn to afternoon, exhausted and injured soldiers, and the commander was killed and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. The gap between them could not be calculated!

My team only charges, and quickly cuts the unit into two sections! The troops in front are like geckos that have broken their tails, fleeing in panic. The "tail" left behind is destined to be a big feast for the Ming army!

My troops did not directly attack the enemy's rear army center, but instead digested the lives of the enemy's remaining troops layer by layer like peeling onions and cutting pieces of meat! The Li Chengliang's troops followed closely behind and slowly eroded the enemy's remaining troops - just as they quickly eroded the remnants of the Yizhou team before. The eating habits were not too ugly, but the effect was very good, especially since our side had very little casualties, which was definitely the most appropriate way of combat.

This time the sun sets until the sun sets. When the team is closed, there is no time to breathe on the battlefield to catch the remaining enemies! And I finally met Li Chengliang, a famous general who is as famous as Qi Jiguang in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Qi Lan!" Li Chengliang laughed and greeted him. The place we met was not far from the Crouching Tiger Stone that should have been shot to death before.

I also quickly met! When the two of us finally met face to face, the middle-aged general laughed and patted my shoulder and said, "I heard that you are coming. I feel very calm and I know that this battle will be won! As expected! Governor Qi said that you are a lucky general, and your reputation is worthy! It is worthy of it!"

I quickly said humbly: "General Li has been awarded too much! Qi Lan is just supporting him, and the great contribution lies with General Li!"

Li Chengliang laughed again and said, "Where is it!" I know that he was extremely satisfied with this battle. He was very excited and everyone liked to listen to compliments.

Two figures turned out from behind Li Chengliang, one tall and the other short. I vaguely remember that these were his two sons, as if they were named Li Rumei and Li Ruzi. I looked at the giant crossbow in Li Rumei's hand, and felt something in my heart, and smiled and said, "Is this man the one who shot and killed quickly?"

Without waiting for Li Chengliang to answer, Li Rumei bowed and said, "It's just a matter of shooting and killing me quickly! I have to thank General Sun for his reminder! Otherwise, how can I find one among thousands of troops?"

I heard what he said was modest, but in fact I was quite proud. So I smiled and said, "The nine tiger generals of the Li family are well-deserved! Sun admires it!"

Li Chengliang was stunned, then laughed again: "A few dogs, but they are all brave and reckless men, how can they compare to Qi Lan's resourcefulness! Rumei and Ruzi, you should learn more from General Sun in the future!"

Li Rumei and Li Ruzi immediately bowed to him.

These gossips were said for a while, and according to the meaning, Li Chengliang, who was the same as mine, did not pursue the remnant, Bu Yantu and his line. There are two reasons.

First, quickly damaged the remaining energy, and the morale fell to the extreme. He no longer had the power of a battle, and he was completely defeated.

Second, Atai led the Jurchen tribe to attack Gushan and Xunhe, and headed straight to Shenyang. At the same time, he joined forces with the Jurchen tribe to attack Hunhe in the south of Shenyang City and Lushun’s front line! The troops were very urgent, and it was too late to ask us to chase and kill the remaining troops first, turn around and fight with us!

So we discussed in this valley and turned around and returned to Zhenyi Fort to sort out the troops.

In this battle, our army wiped out more than 20,000 enemy troops in this unit, and our own side lost nearly 5,000 - most of them were the losses of Yizhou luring the enemy team. However, killing the enemy for 20 years was considered a great achievement, and some losses were nothing.

Looking at Li Chengliang riding in front of me, an indescribable feeling suddenly rose in my heart - Li Chengliang, is he really the right person to fight against the Jurchens next?

Some people say that Li Chengliang, like Qi Jiguang, was a real hero in the late Ming Dynasty. He guarded Beiguan for 30 years and won almost every battle.

Some people also say that Li Chengliang indulged Nurhaci, raised a tiger as a disaster, and made accomplices for the tiger. He was the biggest culprit for the Ming Dynasty being replaced by the Qing Dynasty.

As the saying goes, success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He, Li Chengliang is such a two-faced character. One thought is an angel, one thought is a demon. But all this starts with his life experience.

In the 45th year of Jiajing, that is, in 1566, Li Chengliang, a descendant of North Korea and a family of middle-level military generals, lived in a daze in Tielingwei, a "big city" that was not prosperous and well-known. He had his ancestors' blessings and should be able to inherit military positions, but he was so poor that he didn't even have money to go to Beijing to complete the procedures. Until his destiny, the nobleman he was appointed as the imperial envoy, and the inspector censor Li Fu.

This noble man who was destined to sponsor Li Chengliang, allowing him to go to Beijing to take up his post, eventually inheriting his ancestral title, becoming a general of the Liaodong Xianshan Fort, and becoming a brigade-level cadre. This year, Nurhaci was eight years old.

And here, Li Chengliang soared into the sky and became a rising military superstar in the north of the Ming Dynasty. He shone with Qi Jiguang, who fought against Japanese pirates on the southeast coast. For a time, people said that there was Qi Jiguang in the south and Li Chengliang in the north. He was famous and powerful in the northern border!

With the continuous accumulation of military achievements, Li Chengliang's official position has improved slightly, but what really changed his destiny was that he entered the eyes of the second nobleman in his life, and this nobleman was Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of Wanli.

With the strong support of Zhang Juzheng, Li Chengliang was promoted all the way. In a few years, he had already passed the "testing method" of governing officials and became the second-rank Liaodong general. He did live up to expectations and performed well in the fight against the grassland tribes.

For example, the defeated Sueba team was traversed in the northern border for more than 20 years before Li Chengliang ruled Liaodong, but no one could defeat him. The Liaodong general before Li Chengliang died at Sueba! But after Li Chengliang took office, this general who was good at using surprise soldiers and ambushing at night repeatedly defeated Sueba and became an indelible nightmare in the heart of the grassland wolf.

This time, he quickly attacked Li Chengliang's army, and he also seized the opportunity of the Jurchen Atai army to raise an army at the same time. Li Chengliang's first place was overwhelmed and wanted to avenge the revenge he had lost to Li Chengliang many times before!

But he never thought that he would lose rice without stealing chickens. Not only did he lose Qingqing's life, the tribe also suffered an unprecedented major blow and could not recover for several years. He was known as a prairie wolf and had been plotting against others all his life, but this time he was plotted to become a masterpiece of the world, which is really amazing.

Therefore, this general who once created the miracle of marching in the field and infantry in one day and night, and almost won every battle in the early stage, almost became a miracle in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there is also a mainstream view, because the Jizhou guarded by Qi Jiguang was too strong and the Qi family's army was too difficult to shake, so the grassland people were driven to Li Chengliang's tribe in Liaodong, which was also an important reason for his lifetime's reputation.

In the late period of Zhang Juzheng's reign, he was sure to succeed. Li Chengliang, who was in power in the terrifying territory, was named Ning Yuanbo, became a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, officially entered the ranks of high-level officials, and reached the peak of his life.

If life ends here, then Li Chengliang's life was brilliant, and I would not have any other ideas. But the same thing is true, success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He. In this year, in the tenth year of Wanli, in 1582, after the death of the chief assistant Zhang Juzheng, this general who was intimidating the realm made a 180-degree turn, gradually turned black, and became the culprit for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

All of this is absolutely related to the complex and strange grievances between Li Chengliang and Nurhaci, who are so confusing that no one can tell the truth.
