He can be called "Shishen" and has the surname Ma. Apart from Ma Gui, Liangchen could not have imagined a second person.

And if the "General Yang" remembers the history of Liangchen correctly, he should be Yang Yuan, who was called a famous general by people at that time, but was beaten by Ma Gui.

Listening to Yang Hao's tone and looking at Wang Weidong's reaction, it seemed that they were talking about the Battle of Nanyuan that year, and Wang Weidong was one of the dozens of Ming troops who escaped with Yang Yuan.

Speaking of the Battle of Nanyuan, it was actually a bloody battle. This battle was defeated by the Ming army and almost ended with the defeat of the entire army.

But this battle is not a mistake.

In the 25th year of Wanli, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had sufficient preparations, issued an order to invade the North Korea again.

The 120,000 Japanese troops rushed towards North Korea in two directions.

Commander of the Left Army and commander of the Japanese First Army, Governor Konishi personally led 49,000 people to attack Nanyuan, the important town of Jeolladao.

The commander of the right-wing army and commander of the Japanese Second Army, Kiyoshi Kato led 65,000 people to attack Quanzhou.

The Ming army had only 3,500 defenders in Nanyuan, and the guard was Yang Yuan.

There were only 2,500 Ming army defenders in the whole province, and the guard general Chen Yuzhong.

On the other hand, the North Korean side was ambushed by the Japanese army and had no military force to cooperate with the Ming army in combat. It only summoned more than a thousand Korean soldiers to help defend Nanyuan City.

The huge gap in military strength between the two sides was destined to be impossible for the Ming army to win. However, after receiving the information from the Japanese army's large-scale attack, Yang Yuan did not lead his troops to evacuate Nanyuan. Instead, he immediately strengthened his defense and organized manpower to dig a moat outside the city, and placed the only three cannons above the city gate.

Nanyuan City is built on the plains and has no geographical advantage to use, only trapping the lonely city and fighting to the death.

The war started soon. Facing the persistent Ming army, the Japanese army began to attack the city under the command of Commander Xiaoxi. They used a clamping gun to attack the defenders, while the Ming army also used cannons and muskets to counterattack.

Yang Yuan's troops were cavalry, and the battle to defend the city made the cavalry unable to exert their advantages. From the very beginning, they fell into a disadvantage.

As time went by, the defenders of Nanyuan City continued to die and their morale gradually declined.

Yang Yuan decisively sent people to ask for help from the governor of Quanzhou Chen Yuzhong, but Chen Yuzhong did not move his troops and then led his troops to escape directly.

Without defenders inside and reinforcements outside, Nanyuan became a Jedi.

On the fourth day, the Japanese army landed the moat and used siege ladders to attack the city wall.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yang Yuan decided to take the remaining Ming army to break through.

However, North Korea refused to break through, so Yang Yuan broke out of the south gate and fled towards Hanyang. Then the Japanese army attacked and slaughtered the city.

In the end, Yang Yuan broke through the siege, with only 43 remaining 3,500 soldiers.

Inside, there is Wang Weidong.

At that time, he guarded Yang Yuan and fought to the death. He still gritted his teeth and persevered. In Yang Hao's words, he was really crawling out of the dead.

After the Battle of Nanyuan, the Japanese army marched straight into the province, threatening Hanyang. The commander of the Ming army, Ma Gui, was forced to summon defenders from all over the country to Hanyang. This situation did not turn around until the Battle of Jishan broke out later.

After Yang Yuan, covered in blood, escaped back, Ma Gui personally met him and said to him: "Nanyuan's defeat is not a crime of war."

However, at the same time, in the document to the Ministry of War, Ma Gui suggested that the Ministry of War execute Yang Yuan according to military law.

A few months later, Yang Yuan was taken to Liaoyang and beheaded before the army.

Wang Weidong still holds a dissatisfaction with this. He always believes that Yang Yuan was wronged. Ma Gui couldn't convince the public by killing him with military law.

Liangchen also felt that Yang Yuan was dying a pity.

Three thousand five hundred people against fifty thousand people, Yang Yuan fought to the death and finally succeeded in breaking out from the Japanese army surrounded. No matter how he looked at it, this was a hero, an amazing hero!

But such a great hero died at the hands of his own commander. No matter how you look at it, it is a tragedy.

Yang Yuan fulfilled his duties. If he wanted to run, he could run without a trace from the beginning. No matter how many Japanese troops had, he would not be able to intercept him.

Because Yang Yuan's subordinates were all cavalrymen.

If Ma Gui could give Yang Yuan a chance to make meritorious contributions, perhaps a brand new general star is at its peak at this moment, just like Li Rusong back then.

Whether it is Li Rusong or Yang Yuan, if only one of them survives, the sky outside the pass will not become so fast.

But people are dead, what is the use of no more regrets, and what is the use of no more deductions!

Wang Weidong's life was picked up from the pile of dead people, and it was also Yang Hao.

Back then, if Yang Hao hadn't rescued him in time, Wang Weidong might have been killed by Ma Gui.

In Ma Gui's eyes, any defeated army can be killed. If it is not killed, it is not enough to strictly enforce military discipline.

Judging from the military laws and regulations, what Ma Gui did is nothing wrong.

However, from the perspective of human nature, facts and results, Ma Gui is a bit harsh.

This led to the twelve years, and Wang Weidong always hated Ma Gui in his heart.

He didn't hate Magui and wanted to kill himself, but he hated Magui for killing Yang Yuan without asking for anything.

Along the way from Nanyuan to Hanyang, he watched many good men fall under the Japanese sword. He watched Yang Yuan, a iron-blooded man who never cried, knelt in front of his subordinates' bodies and cried bitterly, then kowtowed a few times before continuing to break through with the rest of his people.

Before Yang Yuan executed, Wang Weidong had visited him with his comrade who escaped with him.

He remembered that when Yang Yuan saw them, his lonely expression immediately became happy.

"As long as you are still alive, I, Yang Yuan, will not be unfair."

Yang Yuankang went to his death with great peace, because he left some seeds for his subordinates.

Twelve years have passed, and the seeds that Yang Yuan had to break through the desperate situation were germinating one by one, but the hatred of these seeds has never faded.

Wang Weidong hated Ma Gui.

Therefore, he could not accept that the old master wanted to submit a request from the court to Ma Gui to Liaodong, which was more determined than that he could not accept that Li Rubai had resurrected the fact.

Yang Hao knew what the love general had experienced back then, and knew that this grudge could not be resolved by his own words. He could not visit these old subordinates, and it was certain that he would transfer Ma Gui to Liaodong, because Yang Hao would not allow any mistakes in the battle of the Tuman.

"You go and rest first. Everything should be the overall situation. Don't think too much about Ma Shuai's affairs, just follow the orders. You should also tolerate the Li family and never ruin the big thing because of a momentary indignation."

Yang Hao sighed and asked Wang Weidong to go back and rest. Wang Weidong was a little unwilling and wanted to fight for a few words, but when the old manager looked a little painful, he finally endured it.

"Qing Dynasty, you did a good job in Jianzhou. I have asked the court for you." After Wang Weidong left, Yang Hao asked about Wei Liangchen's affairs in Jianzhou.

The good minister said it one by one, and everything was very detailed, and he also said that Altona died of illness. Of course, although Shurhazi also died, he still did not dare to tell the story of Guarja.

Yang Hao nodded and then said directly: "For Jianzhou, let me throw it aside now. I will ask you to help me in Shenyang if you have something to do."

Liangchen noticed that Yang Hao called him "Sheren" rather than "student", and immediately understood what the other party was thinking.

Sure enough, after Yang Hao proposed to ask Wei Liangchen to return to the capital, he set the foreshadowing of the Tuman in front of the emperor.

How to make the foreshadowing is the business of the Liang minister, the sacrificial servant.

In short, Yang Hao hopes that he can get the unconditional support and trust of the emperor, including asking Ma Gui to come out of seclusion.
