The messenger's words were very loud, and the Jurchen leaders around him were in chaos when they heard this!

Nurhaci grabbed the messenger with disbelief and lifted him up from his horse. "What did you say?"

"It's Yu Ren, Yu Ren has surrounded Liaoyang City. The prince sent a villain to risk his life to break out of the siege and report to the Khan and ask the Khan to return quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid Liaoyang City will be out of its protection."

Nurhaci shouted, "Yu Ren!" Then he waved his long whip and shouted loudly, "Go back!"

The news that Yu Ren's army surrounded Liaoyang quickly spread among the Jurchen team. Most of the families of these Jurchen people were in Liaoyang. When they heard this news, they all wanted to fly back to Liaoyang with their wings. The team was in chaos for a while.

When Nurhaci's army rushed back to Liaoyang, they did not see any soldiers or soldiers of the Ming army. When Li Yongfang saw Nurhaci, who was extremely angry, he looked puzzled.

"I heard that the Khan had captured Guangning almost without any blood. When the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers heard the reputation of our army, they abandoned the city and fled. The Khan took this opportunity to lead the army south and attacked Shanhaiguan in one go. But why did he hurried back?"

Nurhaci was stunned when he heard this. Mangourtai, who was following him, glared at Li Yongfang.

"Didn't you send someone to call Da Khan back? You also said that Yu Ren surrounded Liaoyang with 100,000 soldiers. Why didn't I even see Mao from the Ming army?"

Li Yongfang was shocked!

"How is it possible? Liaoyang has been very calm since he started his army. Although Yue Tuo was defeated and yelled to hand over the 5,000 cavalry from Liaoyang to him to avenge Yu Ren. But I considered that the current Khan was on the expedition, and Liaoyang must be guarded without troops. The east is our strategic focus now. As for Zhenjiang Fort, it is not very important to us at the moment. If we go there, we cannot enter the barrier. Anyway, we have already lost it, and we are not in a hurry to seize it.

As for Yu Ren sending troops to surround Liaoyang, this is simply nonsense. Don’t say that Yu Ren does not have 100,000 troops, even if he has one, he will never dare to come to Liaoyang."

Manguertai looked at Li Yongfang coldly, "What's the matter with the messenger you sent before?"

This sentence was exactly what Nurhaci wanted to ask. When he heard Manguertai ask about his thoughts, Nurhaci didn't speak anymore, but just looked at Li Yongfang with vigilance.

Li Yongfang looked surprised, "I did not send a messenger to say that Liaoyang was surrounded! During the war, I only sent one messenger. I reported to the Khan about Yuetuo's defeat. After that, no messenger was sent!"

"There must be something strange about this. According to the child's guess, it should be that Yu Ren deliberately sent someone to spread false news to deceive us back. First, we can deceive us back, and second, we can't disagree with Da Khan and Yongfang. Da Khan must not fall into his plan to disagree!" Huang Taiji saw that Nurhaci's expression was not good, so he quickly exonerated Li Yongfang.

After hearing Huang Taiji's words, Nurhaci lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He knew that what Huang Taiji said made sense, but Nurhaci never believed that Yu Ren, a boy who was still young, could have such deep scheming. In the Ming Dynasty, he had never seen a person with such a brilliant vision and strategy.

Nurhaci believed that the Ming Dynasty should not have one. The reason is very simple! If the Ming Dynasty had such a vision and strategy, they would not have lost again and again in the battle with themselves in recent years, and almost lost the entire Liaodong. Therefore, Nurhaci became more and more suspicious.

In his opinion, in this world, except for him and his four Beile Huang Taiji, there is only one Li Yongfang.

Of course, he and the Four Beile would not have any problems, so the only problem should be Li Yongfang. What's more, if there were no traitors, they would not have done so seamlessly without traitors.

Nurhaci knew Li Yongfang's talent, so he suspected that he secretly gave Li Yongfang some advice.

On the surface, Nurhaci seemed to trust Li Yongfang very much and even married his daughter to him. But the fact is just the opposite. Nurhaci married his daughter to him because he did not trust Li Jifang. On the one hand, it was a win over, and on the other hand, it also implicitly implicitly surveillance.

Such a big event happened today, which made him miss the opportunity. Even if Nurhaci trusted Li Yongfang, he would inevitably feel unhappy with him. You should know that Nurhaci is over 60 years old and he knows that God has given him less time.

Therefore, he felt particularly regretful that he failed to settle down Shanhaiguan this time. He also felt particularly disliked Li Yongfang in his heart. Although he did not think that this matter was done directly by Li Yongfang, he still believed that this matter was related to him. He did not doubt Li Yongfang's loyalty to him because of this matter, but he began to no longer trust Li Yongfang as much as before.

Just when Nurhaci was regretting the missed opportunity in Liaoyang, Yu Ren was sitting comfortably on the city tower of Zhenjiang City basking in the sun. Now winter is almost over, and the temperature outside is gradually rising. Sitting on the city tower basking in the sun has become Yu Ren’s favorite enjoyment.

After defeating Yuetuo, getting nearly a thousand war horses from him, and successfully tricking Nurhaci back to Liaoyang, Yu Ren was still a little proud.

You know, the difficulty of these two things is not as high as that! Defeating Yue Tuo may not be difficult, after all, he only has one thousand soldiers and horses. However, these thousand people are all cavalry and are very mobile. In addition, their tactics have always been to fight if they win, and run away if they can't win. It is very difficult to annihilate them. This is also the fundamental reason why the Central Plains dynasty and the northern nomadic peoples have been confronted for more than two thousand years, but have not actually eliminated them.

Although the Ming Dynasty has always had an overwhelming advantage over the northern nations, in the past century, only Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang have done so many times that they can kill more than a thousand enemies at once. From this point of view, Yu Ren's victory this time can be tied with Qi Li. He also successfully deceived Nurhaci back to Liaoyang, and strategically bought time for the Ming Dynasty.

From these two points, no one could compare to his military achievements at that time. However, when he reported his merits to the court, Yu Ren finally hid his name and reported this book of victory to Emperor Tianqi in the name of Mao Wenlong. Yu Ren was very clear about what the current situation of the Ming Dynasty was.

Although at present, the Donglin Party members controlled the government and the politics seemed to be clear. But he also knew very clearly that Wei Zhongxian, one of the four treacherous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, was about to appear soon. And behind him was a Keshi who was deeply trusted by the emperor.

In such a political environment, Yu Ren would not go to this muddy water no matter what. He felt that he was still his own pirate freedom. At least traitors like Wei Zhongxian could do nothing about him. I don’t take the salary of the court and I don’t get the imperial court’s title. I come whenever I want, and leave whenever I want. If there is something, I will help you. If I don’t want to help you, I can’t do anything about me.

It was precisely for this idea that Yu Rencai wrote the main general of the Zhenjiang Battle as Mao Wenlong in the final report of the victory.

This is also very reasonable. Mao Wenlong was originally sent by Wang Huazhen to attack Zhenjiang Fort and restrain the Jurchens from the east. Of course, the real Mao Wenlong is already dead. Mao Wenlong is the little businessman Mao Fugui found by Yu Ren. But what does it matter!

In Zhenjiang, Yu Ren had the final say. But in the court, not many people knew that he was the real person in charge here, and they all thought it was Mao Wenlong. In this way, Wei Zhongxian would not be able to harm him in the future. This is Yu Ren's consideration.

The court was quite satisfied with the results of this battle. Not long after the victory was sent away, the court sent several warships and transported a large number of logistics supplies. These were what Yu Ren lacked the most at the moment. However, there were no soldiers. Wang Huazhen had just lost 100,000 elite soldiers in Guangning, and the Ming Dynasty's troops became nervous in a short period of time, not to mention that the Jurchens had to prevent them from continuing to move south. They had to deploy heavy troops at Shanhaiguan.

Although there are no soldiers, Yu Ren doesn't mind. As long as he has weapons and money, he believes that he can still recruit locally. Moreover, the people recruited from locally are far more reliable than those transferred from other places. Because their home is here, in order to protect their homes and their relatives will not bow to the Jurchens easily.

After defeating Yue Tuo, Yu Ren completed his first recruitment in just over a month. The number of recruits this time was 5,000. In fact, if he did not limit the number of people, he could recruit at least 20,000 people because the conditions he offered were very generous. In addition, the Han people in this area have been bullied by the Jurchens in recent years. They heard that they could beat the Jurchens and their families could also receive money, so young people were naturally happy.

But Yu Ren only left five thousand people because he knew that his economic conditions were limited. Judging from the food and salary given to him by the court, he could only raise at most five thousand people. His current personnel were nearly ten thousand. So he had to find a way.
