After hearing Alinbao's anxious words, Yangguli touched his gray beard and pondered without saying a word.

Seeing that Yangguli didn't speak, Tazhan, the second son beside him, looked anxious. He interrupted urgently, "Ama, my uncle is in danger now, but our army needs to send reinforcements urgently."

Yangguli snorted coldly, but asked Qing Alinbao lightly: "Since a large number of Ming troops are coming, then Tan Taike once told you, how many Ming troops are preparing to attack the town border town?"

Alin Bao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Report to the master, when the slave went to the border town, Master Tan Tai fell seriously ill, but it was not convenient to see me. Therefore, everything was arranged by his personal reception. He heard that there may be tens of thousands of people in the invading Ming army."

Yangguli said oh, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. However, he immediately controlled his emotions and said coldly: "I said, why is Tan Tai, the more he fights, the less courage he is now? Isn't it just a tens of thousands of Ming troops that he has put together? What's the fear of it? You know, compared with the Ming army, my Qing heavenly soldiers dare not say that they can use one as ten every time, but it is absolutely no problem if they use one as five or one as three. Tan Tai currently has more than 4,500 soldiers of Manchu, Mongolian and Han dynasties, and more than 2,000 Ming troops surrendered. If he just sticks to the city, how can he not be able to defend it?"

Yangguli's words made Alinbao confused for a moment. He didn't know whether Yangguli, the commander-in-chief of the army and veteran on the battlefield, was to send or not send reinforcements now.

At this time, Ta Zhan interrupted from the side, "Ama, even though he said that, it is said that he is not afraid of ten thousand, but he is afraid that if he is alone, he should send reinforcements. After all, his uncle was seriously ill and could not command his subordinates. If our army lost the border town of the important area in the west of the capital due to a command omission, the crime would be great. I guess even the commander of Zhengming, Lord Ajige, would send people to hold him accountable. How should Amazhi shi, when he was in the forefront, let him refuse Uncle Tan Tai?"

After hearing what his son said, Yangguli's face was filled with complicated expressions. He nodded at Tazhan and said, "Tazhan, you are right. Be cautious in everything, it is always a good thing."

Seeing that Yangguli had been moved by Ta Zhan, Alinbao quickly interrupted from the side: "The second young master is right. It is important to save the border town first. After all, the county towns of Naliang Township and Zhuozhou will not run away with legs. And it is not too late to wait until our army cleans up the Ming army that invaded the border town, and then turn around to attack these two county towns."

Yangguli sighed lightly, raised his head, looked at Ta Zhan with bright eyes and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll arrange for Ta Zhan to lead my 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry to enter the border town of the town urgently, which should be enough to defeat the Ming army and defend the city."

Upon hearing this, Ta Zhan hurriedly knelt down: "Children obey Ama's order, and then go to order the troops of the army and immediately leave the border town."

Yanggulixu helped him up and reminded him: "If Tan Tai is sick and unable to command his subordinates' troops, then I will authorize you to take over his subordinates' troops. In short, it is necessary to repel the invading Ming army!"

Ta Zhan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly bowed: "Please don't worry, if you go here, you will definitely defeat these Ming troops and protect the town's border city. Please Amahou and I will be the same!"

......

In the early morning of the next day, a group of Li Xiao soldiers guarding the east gate of the border town suddenly saw dust and smoke rolling in the distance, but it seemed that a large number of people came.

When the troops were approaching, the soldiers guarding the city saw that there were nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were yellow helmets and yellow armor, but there were undoubtedly the soldiers of the Manchu Zhenghuang Banner.

The soldiers quickly entered the city to report to Li Xiao. At this time, Li Xiao was discussing affairs with a group of generals. After hearing the soldiers' reports, the generals in the room all showed happy and excited smiles on their faces.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the reinforcements sent by Yangguli came very quickly. It seems that Li had to accept the gift that came to the door."

After hearing Li Xiao's words, the generals in the room laughed in unison.

"Everyone obeys the order, as yesterday's arrangement, I'll treat these guests from afar." Li Xiao's face was filled with excitement and expectation.

"Get orders!"

After nearly a night of trekking, Ta Zhan led the three thousand soldiers from Zhenghuang Banner to finally arrive outside the border town.

Ta Zhan, who had been walking fast all night, wiped his sweat and dirt on his face, rode his horse outside the east gate, and shouted to the top of the city: "Go and inform Lord Tan Tai, tell him that we will come to the border town to help under the order of commander Yangguli, and ask him to open the city gate and let us wait in."

A soldier at the top of the city responded and turned to enter the city to report.

Soon after, the suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was opened. Kalamu walked out of the city with two followers with a smile on his face. He kept bowing to Ta Zhan while walking: "Oh, I didn't expect that the second young master personally led reinforcements to come. I was in a position to welcome him, and I hope the second young master would forgive me more."

When the tower was in the horse, he saw Kalamu having a flattering smile on his face and despised him very much. He immediately asked coldly: "Kalmu, I heard that my uncle, Lord Tan Tai, has been seriously ill for many days, but I don't know if he is better now?"

Kalamu's smile suddenly froze. He pretended to sighed long, and said, "Oh, it's rare that you are so concerned about it. Your uncle has suffered from a serious illness since he captured the border town. His high fever has not subsided for days. Today, the fever has just subsided and he is a little awake."

Ta Zhan looked surprised and concerned, and hurriedly said to Karamu: "Then take me to see my uncle. While my uncle is still awake, I still have many important things to discuss with him."

A cold light flashed in Kalamu's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I will take the second young master to meet Master Tan Tai, your army, and your servants, and ask them to take them into the city. Let's go to the camp to rest first."

Ta Zhan nodded and took only six guards and walked into the city with Karamu quickly.

Seeing Ta Zhan so unprepared, Karamu was secretly happy, but his face still looked respectful and he was careful to accompany him.

At this time, the Karamu entourage, disguised by Ebilun and Chata, had a pair of eyes and showed a knowing smile, and then they commanded the two thousand infantrymen who were entering the aid and a thousand cavalry to enter the city respectively.

Tazhan and his group walked along the way, followed Kalamu through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a mansion in the middle of the city.

Ta Zhan walked along the way and saw all kinds of military soldiers walking back and forth in the city. What made him a little strange was that he had seen many military soldiers wearing the armor of the Zhenghuang Banner along the way, but he had never met an acquaintance.

This is strange. Could it be that these guys have all gone out of the city to plunder?

However, Ta Zhan, who was worried about Tan Tai's illness, had questions in his heart, but he didn't think so much, and followed Kalamu into the mansion.

In the yard, a group of Zhenghuang Banner soldiers carrying swords and guns stopped Ta Zhan's guards and only placed Ta Zhan alone, and followed Karamu into the inner room.

When he entered the door, Ta Zhan saw a tall and majestic figure wearing Tan Tai's familiar classic-colored gilded armor, facing away from him, silently looking at the scenery outside the window.

Ta Zhan thought this person was Tan Tai, so he hurriedly knelt down: "My nephew Ta Zhan, I have met my uncle."

Hearing this, the man turned slowly. Ta Zhan raised his head and the smile on his face froze.

He saw that in Tan Tai's armor, there was a handsome and powerful young man. The young man was looking at himself with a smug smile.

"Who are you? How dare you be so bold and wear my uncle's armor!"

Ta Zhan was angry, and he shouted loudly, and he was about to stand up from the ground. At this time, the several soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner next to him immediately drew their swords, and several cold steel knives were placed horizontally on Ta Zhan's neck.

"Be honest, or you'll be chopped off!"

One of the soldiers with fierce faces and a rough and hard bearded roared at Ta Zhan in Manchu.

The fake Qing army who was yelling at Ta Zhan was Bao Zhao, the chief of the Xuanhu heavy cavalry of Li Xiaojun's Chifeng Camp. Under his impetuous momentum, Ta Zhan obediently knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

Immediately, the fake Qing troops rushed up and tied him up tightly.

At this time, the six guards outside the courtyard heard the angry words of the master Ta Zhan in the room, and knew that something had happened. Everyone's face changed drastically. They were eager to draw their swords and rush out of the room, but were rushed forward by a group of Li Xiao's troops who had been preparing for a long time. They rushed forward, and swords and swords came out, and they immediately killed all the six people.

Hearing the screams of the outdoor guards, Ta Zhan in the inner room looked embarrassed and angry, and his teeth were chewed.

He turned to Kalamu, who was smiling on the side, and his resentful eyes almost burst into flames. He wanted to tear this shameless slave who had tricked him into pieces.

At this time, Kalamu did not look at him, but hurriedly reported to Li Xiao about Ta Zhan's situation.

The smile on Li Xiao's face suddenly became brighter and brighter.

"Tazhan, it turns out that you are the second young master of Yangguli. Welcome, welcome to the frontier of my town." Li Xiao said with a smile: "Now it seems that you are the largest big fish our army has caught."

"Hmph, who are you? You have used such tricks to make me profit?" Ta Zhan stared at Li Xiao's face and asked loudly with gritted teeth.

"I am the general of Shandong Chifeng Li Xiao, you must have heard of it." Li Xiao said lightly.

Ta Zhan's muscles trembled: "Ah, it turns out you are the one. Li Xiao, who defeated the 2,000 elite troops of the Zhengbai Banner outside Jinzhou City last year?"

"It's Li. It seems that many people know Li's reputation in your Qing Dynasty." Li Xiao smiled.

Ta Zhan's face instantly covered with gray. He murmured: "Then my uncle Tan Tai, have you been killed by you now?"

"Ta Zhan, I can tell you that Tan Tai, I have given him the chance to surrender, but this guy is so tough that I have to be honest with him." A strange smile appeared on Li Xiao's face.

"Hmph, dig your heart first, then behead your head, and then the body was shared by the surrendered Qing army. In the end, there was only a skullless skeleton left. Do you want to try Tazhan, Tazhan, the dog thief Tan Tai's way of death?" Bao Zhao next to him laughed and interrupted.

After hearing Bao Zhao's words, the muscles on Ta Zhan's face were trembling violently. At the same time, it seemed that his stomach was also surging. He held back the disgusting feeling and looked at Li Xiao, his eyes full of fear.

He could not imagine that this handsome and kind-hearted commander of the Ming army would be such a cruel and perverted hell demon.

In the room, it was surprisingly quiet.

"Li Xiao, you used this trick to lure our army into being deceived. It is really a victory!" Ta Zhan held it in for a long time and finally said this word hatefully.

When Li Xiao heard this, he raised his head and laughed: "Since ancient times, soldiers have never been tired of cheating. What is Li's little trick? Why don't you blame yourself for being too stupid and hit our army's plan so easily?"

After Li Xiao finished speaking, the Li Xiao army soldiers in the room all burst into laughter.

Li Xiao lowered his smile on his face and said solemnly to Ta Zhan: "Ta Zhan, I will also give you a chance to surrender. As long as you are willing to be loyal to our army, your future official position will rise with me. If not..."

"Pooh!"

Ta Zhan interrupted Li Xiao's words viciously. He spat on the ground with resentment and cursed at Li Xiao: "You shameless and wise dog, you still want to lure me to be your dream of spring and autumn! Even if I die, I will not do this thing to live without a kneeling!"

Ta Zhan said this, straightened his chest and cursed at Li Xiao, "Li Xiao, you hateful Ming dog, do you think there are no loyal ministers and righteous men who will die for the country in the Qing Dynasty? Since my uncle Tan Tai has been loyal to the country, now I, Ta Zhan, should follow his loyal and heroic acts and sacrifice his country for the Qing Dynasty! Isn't it just a death? What a difficult thing? Come and take a knife and dig out my heart and see if my heart is red or black! I am no better than some servants. For the sake of my future and life, I have a conscience and sell my master for honor!"

After hearing Ta Zhan's words, Karamu's face suddenly blushed to his ears. He forced himself to calm down and turned his head out the window awkwardly.

"You are a Tartar, and you are still strong and tough when you die! Okay, I will help you. Now I will behead you and take your corpse to feed the dog!" Bao Zhao, who was beheading him, scrubbing the ground, pulled out his waist knife, and wanted to chop Ta Zhan's head.

"Wait! Don't hurt his life!"

Li Xiao shouted, and the sword in Bao Zhao's hand stopped in mid-air.

Bao Zhao, who was forcibly blocked by Li Xiao, was extremely angry and kicked him hard, kicking him in the face. Ta Zhan screamed and rolled on the ground a few times, and with a thump, he spit out a few bloody teeth.

"Dog thief, if you want to kill, why humiliate me? I want you to surrender, but don't think about it!" Ta Zhan vomited blood in his mouth, but he still cursed.

Li Xiao smiled and took a few steps forward. He bent down and said to Ta Zhan in a very gentle tone: "Ta Zhan, don't worry, I won't kill you. But do you know why I want to save your life?"

Ta Zhan looked at him fiercely, but said nothing.

"Because, in my opinion, your fish is not too big. The reason why I save your life is hope that I will use your fish as bait to catch the real big fish of Yangguli!" Li Xiao gently patted Ta Zhan's face and said to him with a smile.

"Li Xiao, you bastard who killed thousands of swords! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!" Ta Zhan looked distorted with anger and angry expression, his teeth clenched, and he shouted angrily and desperately at Li Xiao.

Ta Zhan gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up from the ground, but he was kicked to the ground by Bao Zhao, and he couldn't move any longer.

At this time, Chata and Ebilun came in happily outside the door and reported loudly to Li Xiao, successfully surrendering the three thousand Zhenghuang Banner reinforcements.

It turned out that the Manchu soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner who entered the aid were taken to different places in the city by Li Xiaojun because they had no leader. Then they tricked them into putting down their weapons by arranging banquets.

All of these men of the Zhenghuang Banner who had just arrived at the border town were hungry and exhausted. Seeing Li Xiaojun's kindness, everyone was happy and sat around the table, thinking that they could eat immediately. When they were full, they were hungry. However, they did not expect that before the stool was hot, they were surrounded by Li Xiaojun's soldiers who rushed over and ordered them to surrender on the spot.

These Zhenghuang Banner soldiers who lost their leader, had no organization, were hungry and tired, and abandoned their weapons were shocked when they encountered this sudden change and knelt down and begged for their lives. Except for dozens of bold people who dared to resist but were killed by Li Xiaojun immediately, the rest surrendered obediently and had no desire to resist.

At this point, these three thousand elite Manchu soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner were captured and surrendered by Li Xiao's army in the most cowardly manner.

After listening to Chata Ebilun's joyful description, Li Xiao and the generals in the room all laughed loudly.

"Fuck! Lord Li's plan to catch turtles in the jar is really high! We have earned three thousand elite Yangguli so easily. If this old thief needs to know the news, he will be angry to death." Bao Zhao smiled and scratched his head, his face full of joy.

"thump!"

With a light sound, Li Xiao turned his head and looked at it, but it was Ta Zhan who heard the news of his subordinates' military forces. His eyes turned pale and he fainted immediately, lying on the ground like a dead fish.
