Anshanyi is located between Liaoyang and Haizhou City, with mountains on the left and right. It is also the gateway from Liaoyang to western Liaoning and southern Liaoning.
The Qing army from Shengjing came to Anshan Station.
The Qing army was stationed outside Anshan Post. Daishan and Hauge were invited to Anshan Post and were warmly received by the garrison garrison here.
"Your Majesty, General Wakda, who is stationed in Haizhou City, sent someone to ask for an audience with you, Your Majesty." A Bagala who was beside Daishan came to Daishan to report.
Daishan frowned upon hearing this.
He knew his fourth son very well and had a stable temperament, otherwise he would not have let him stay in such an important place as Haizhou City.
Such a steady person sent someone to see him at this time. He guessed that something must have happened.
"Go and bring the people in!" Daishan told the Baya La guards in front of him.
"嗻."
Baya La's personal guard responded, turned around and retreated.
Not long after, an Eight Banners soldier was brought over by the Baya La guard.
"This slave kowtows to his master." The Eight Banners soldiers knelt down and saluted Daishan, who was sitting at the top of the table.
When Daishan heard that the other party called himself a slave, he understood that the Eight Banners soldier in front of him should be Wakda's personal guard and a member of the red flag.
"Get up!"
The Eight Banners soldiers stood up and stood with their hands down.
Daishan put one hand on the handle of the table and chair and asked, "What message did Wakda ask you to bring?"
"Return to the master, the young master has written everything he wants to say in the letter." As he said that, the Eight Banners soldier took out a letter from his sleeve and held it in his hands.
Bajala's personal guard on the side stepped forward, took the letter, and delivered it to Daishan.
Daishan took the letter, glanced at the seal on it, and found that the letter was not sealed, so he took out the letter paper from inside with two fingers.
Opening the letter, there was only one line on it: "The Han generals in Gaizhou City secretly let an army of tiger thieves enter the city, and Gaizhou City was lost." '
After reading this, Dai Shan's face turned dark and he said angrily: "Yi Bilong made a mistake!"
Baya La's personal guard on the side looked at Daishan in confusion, curious about the content of the letter.
The Eight Banners soldier who delivered the letter lowered his head, wishing he could bury it on his chest.
"Prince Li, what's going on? I heard you talking about this slave, Ye Bilong, from afar." As the words fell, Hauge walked out of the door and walked straight into the house.
When he came into the room, he walked directly to the seat next to Daishan and sat down. Then he looked at the Eight Banners soldier standing in the room with his hands down, and said, "This slave is from Haizhou, right? "
"I have seen Prince Su." The Eight Banners soldiers saluted Hauge.
Haug glanced at him and asked, "Wakda sent you here, but what news did it bring?"
The Eight Banners soldier who was asked secretly looked at Daishan.
Hauge noticed, his face sank, and he scolded: "What do you think Prince Li will do when I ask you a question? Don't my words work for you?"
"I don't dare." The Eight Banners soldiers were frightened and hurriedly knelt down.
At this time, Prince Li said: "He is here to deliver a message for Wakda. You can read the news about Gaizhou City for yourself!"
With that said, he handed the letter to Haug.
There was only one sentence in the letter, and Haug only glanced at it to clearly understand the content.
"This," Hauge paused for a moment, then said immediately, "What's going on with Ebilong? Can't you keep it for so many days?"
Daishan said: "Now it is no longer a matter of containing Bilong. After the tiger thieves capture Gaizhou, Haizhou will be in danger. We should send a troop of troops to Haizhou first. We can't let the tiger thieves capture Haizhou anymore." Opportunity."
"Then let me go." Hauge said, "I have long wanted to fight the tiger bandits myself to see how powerful these Han people can be if they change their masters!"
Daishan frowned subconsciously when he heard this.
He knew about Hauge's impulsive and reckless character, but he didn't expect that Hauge would be so arrogant.
If the Tiger-Character Banner was really so easy to deal with, how could the Qing Dynasty be occupied by the Tiger-Character Banner one city after another, and finally had to shrink the Qing Dynasty's power in Liaodong.
Thinking of Huang Taiji's instructions before leaving Shengjing, Daishan said to Hauge: "I have fought against the tiger bandit soldiers and horses in Lushun many times, and I am familiar with them, so I will lead the cavalry to Haizhou first. , Prince Su, you will rush to Haizhou with your army."
"This kind of thing is for me to be the vanguard of the army. Prince Li, you are the commander of the army. How can you leave so easily." Hauge was very dissatisfied with Daishan's arrangement.
He wanted to lead his troops alone to fight the Tiger Flag, but with Daishan's arrangement, he lost this opportunity.
Even if he led the army to Haizhou, with Daishan as the nominal army commander, he, as the deputy commander of the army, would not be able to make the decision, and would have to follow Daishan's orders, which he did not want to do.
In his eyes, Daishan is a constraint for him. With Daishan around, he can't make the decision in anything.
"I went to Haizhou mainly to stabilize the situation in Haizhou. Now that Gaizhou has fallen, Haizhou's military morale will become somewhat unstable. Now is not the time to fight the tiger bandits immediately. I know that Prince Su is eager to fight the tiger bandits. , don't be anxious, there will be no shortage of opportunities in the future." Daishan said.
Hauge was unwilling to give up and said: "I feel that the tiger thieves dare to attack Gaizhou, so I will fight back hard and take Gaizhou back from the tiger thieves to enhance the prestige of the Qing Dynasty."
"Whether we want to retake Gaizhou City or not, let's wait for Lord Long Live to decide. Our goal is to stabilize the current situation and not give the tiger thieves a chance to continue going north." Dai Shan moved out of Huang Taiji to suppress Hauge.
He knew that with Hauge's temperament, the only person in the Qing Dynasty who could make him have any scruples was Huang Taiji.
Sure enough, after moving out of Huang Taiji, Hauge's momentum suddenly weakened.
Taking advantage of the situation, Daishan said again: "That's it. I'll leave with the cavalry in a moment. Prince Su, you can hide in Anshan Post for half a day and hit the road again tomorrow."
He made the decision directly and no longer gave Hauge a chance to object.
No matter how unwilling he was, Hauge couldn't directly disobey Daishan's decision and had to accept Daishan's arrangement.
Soon, the Qing cavalry here in Anshan Station began to gather.
In addition to the Eight Banners cavalry, the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry also had to go to Haizhou. Only the Han army flag with the smallest number of cavalry was left behind for mobile use by the remaining Qing troops.
Anshanyi is less than a hundred miles away from Haizhou City.
Setting off that day, at night, Daishan and the cavalry led by him had arrived outside Haizhou City.
After Haizhou City learned the news of Gaizhou's fall, the city gates were only open for two hours a day and were closed tightly before dark. No one was allowed to enter or leave Haizhou City without Wakda's warrant.
