The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 221
"Jinjiang Jiedu envoy has to go all the way through Fuzhou, Gaizhou, and threaten Haizhou before he can force back the Huangtaiji army that besieged Beizhen.

Haizhou is the gathering place for the barbarian army's supplies, so the barbarians absolutely dare not lose anything.

In order for Huangtaiji to take Beizhen smoothly, the barbarian old slave personally guarded Haizhou, and now he personally leads the army to Gaizhou.

Jinjiang Town's army was in Yulinpu, and the marching distance between the two armies was only half a day. "

In the Wenhua Palace, Da Sima, the governor of the Left Army, introduced the latest situation in detail.

The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are all in the Wenhua Hall.

There are also cabinet elders, ministers of the Ministry of war and so on.

"According to what Jinjiang Jiedu envoy said, our army has 12 troops, and the barbarians have more than 11 troops. If Beizhen's [-] barbarians don't retreat, then Jinjiang Town has the hope of winning.

If Huangtaiji, who besieged Beizhen, led an army of 11 to retreat, then Beizhen would be relieved, and the Jinjiang Jiedu envoy would withdraw his troops early. "

Hearing Da Sima's words, the young emperor couldn't help but immediately asked questions.

"Has Huang Taiji retreated?"

When Da Sima heard the emperor's inquiry, he looked respectful.

"Huangtaiji did not give up besieging Beizhen."

Hearing the news that Huang Taiji did not withdraw his troops, the emperor showed worry on his face.

The Supreme Emperor's eyes were slightly closed, but he saw the expressions of Da Sima and the emperor, and sneered inwardly.

He recently received new news.

The merchants in Shanxi smuggled and traded with the barbarians, and illegally transported materials to the barbarians in exchange for ginseng, fur and other goods.

But the border has repeatedly prohibited.

That shows that there are big forces involved.

And who helped in Liaodong?Or let it go.

There are too many debatable things in this.

Is the emperor concerned about the gains and losses of Beizhen, or is it something else?
Fan Hao, Liu Yiru and others were worried about how long Beizhen could last.

There are [-] soldiers in Beizhen.

These [-] soldiers are different from Jinzhou's supply. The imperial court has been supplying them in full these years, and it was only last year that they were unable to do so.

But no matter what, Beizhen's supply far exceeds that of Golden State.

Beizhen was besieged three months ago.

Jinzhou stood still, and they did not dare to urge Jinzhou too much.

So all hope is on Golden State.

Denglai originally wanted to transport all the supplies from Beizhen to Lushun in Jinzhou, but the general soldiers of Jinzhou remained motionless.

The imperial court did not dare to lose Beizhen.

In the advice of the nobles in the capital and some censors, finally promulgated the Jinzhou General Soldier, promoted him to be a Jiedu envoy, bestowed Shang Fang with a sword, and established Jinjiang Town.

really.

The Jiedu Envoy of Jinjiang Town led the army to move, and news of success spread to the court continuously.

Recapture Xiuyan City, recapture Fengcheng, recapture Luangu Pass, recapture Deliying City, recapture Pan Ancient Castle, recapture Zhouzhou, recapture Yongning Jiancheng...

There are hundreds of military forts in large and small towns.

This is something that has never happened in Liaodong for decades.

Recover the lost ground for hundreds of miles.

In any period, it is an achievement worthy of special mention.

in Beijing.

From the anxious atmosphere of Beizhen being besieged at the beginning, to the smiling face now, the reputation of the original stalwart general has returned.

Like the rebellious and arrogant person who scolded before, it seems that he has lost his memory just like that.

Following the good news came the list of materials that Jinjiang Jiedu envoy requested from the imperial court.

As large as weapons, armour, military horses, mules and donkeys, firearms, gunpowder, lead, cloth, etc., as small as baskets, dustpans, shovels and so on.

In any case, the court could only grit its teeth and give.

Not only have all the supplies that were supposed to be supplied to Beizhen been transferred to Jinzhou, but they can't be transported into Beizhen anyway.

Even Jinzhou's supplies were mobilized one or two times, and then the south was allowed to be directly transported to Jinzhou by Jinlinghai.

In the past three months, various million stone materials have been transported.

And with the latest good news, it was announced that it was going to fight the barbarian old slave, and at the same time began to ask for various supplies.

At the same time, there are also the pensions for soldiers in Jinzhou over the years. I hope the court can reissue them all at once to improve the morale of the army.

The court was angry and worried.

What is angry is that Jinjiang Jiedu has too much appetite, and what is worrying is the war against the barbarian old slaves.

Although Tang Qing'an had a great reputation, compared with an old slave who had been in power for decades, people still subconsciously couldn't believe it.

Old slave.

Over the past decade or so, field battles have never been lost.

Different from the people in the capital.

These bigwigs in the imperial court have already considered Tang Qing'an as an unruly person in their hearts, but due to the current situation, they can only satisfy him first.

The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was worried about the war, and North Korea was equally worried.

The leader of North Korea, Li Zhen.

Haven't been able to sleep for days.

He sent out the domestic army, lest these troops who don't know who their heart is for, will take advantage of Jin Jiangzhen's inability to take care of North Korea, and something bad will happen to him.

But the same.

If the Jinjiang Town Jiedu Envoy was defeated, not only would Tang Qing'an's strength be damaged, but his status would also be shaken.

When Tang Qing'an was the general of Jinzhou, because of his prestige, he was able to secure the position of the king of North Korea.

No longer just a puppet like before.

After a few years, at least in Seoul, his imperial decree still works.

When Lin Zhong's nephew, Lin Zhiyuan, and the Korean commander-in-chief Kwon Shin-wook he appointed came back with a steady stream of good news,

Only then did the leader of North Korea, Li Zhen, have a smile on his face.

therefore.

He also specially transported [-] shi of grain to Jinzhou to reward Shangguo and his own army.

Supplies from Denglai of Great Zhou, supplies from Jinling, and supplies from North Korea were continuously sent to Tang Qing'an from afar.

In the five years since Tang Qing'an went to sea, he has never been so rich.

The army has been stationed in Yulinpu for three days.

Some of the [-] cavalry of the Jinjiang Army even bypassed Gaizhou City and raided Yingkou.

Yingkou is located between the two cities of Gaizhou and Haizhou.

Further forward, you can disturb the food road that supplies Huangtaiji's army.

The barbarian and Mongolian cavalry, being scolded by the old slave, finally drove back the cavalry of the Jinjiang Army.

"It seems that the old slave is afraid of us."

Tang Qing'an smiled at the generals when he saw the military situation brought back by the cavalry.

Not only the news brought back by the cavalry, but also the naval ships that have arrived at the Shuangtaizi River have all been confirmed.

The Huangtaiji army showed no signs of withdrawing.

"The old slave is hiding in Gaizhou, worried that we won't be able to defeat us, so why don't we divide our troops from Huangtaiji."

"There are 11 soldiers in Beizhen, and there are only [-] soldiers in Huangtai Jiben. Many of them are Mongolian soldiers and surrendered soldiers. How much should he divide?"

The generals of the Jinjiang Army discussed the current situation one after another.

Since the old slaves of the barbarians did not dare to attack, but Gaizhou was about to be recovered, should we attack on our own initiative?

Listening to the generals discussing each other, Tang Qing'an was also pondering.

Unlike the generals, what he thought was the age of the old slave.

Historically, the old slave died next year.

It is said that he was injured in the attack on Guangning and died in depression.

It is said that because Guangning was not defeated, as an invincible veteran, he was defeated by a young man and died in depression.

There is a saying that as we get older, old injuries recur and we die of illness.

These statements are not mentioned first.

What Tang Qing'an thought was that the old slave's behavior this year was a bit weird.

Whether it is to let Huangtaiji marry the daughter of Horqin Baylor as his wife, or let Huangtaiji take charge of the western front, or even preside over the attack on Beizhen.

It looked more like the old slave was paving the way for Huang Taiji.

Why pave the way with Huang Taiji?

Think about it.

Tang Qing'an suddenly realized.

Not only did he understand why the old slave wanted to defend Haizhou, but he also understood the reason why the old slave did not have confidence in a decisive battle with the Jinjiang army, but did not change his mind.

Under such circumstances, there is no sign of recalling Huangtai Ji's army.

That being the case.

While you are sick it kills you.

Tang Qing'an is not polite anymore.

"Send the sailors out."

Hearing the general's words, the generals didn't understand what he meant.

"Let the navy enter the Sancha River to harass the grain road in Haizhou. I want to see if the old slave can still sit still."

It's a good idea to force the old slave to beat them.

The battalions have changed from guerrilla to large corps to cooperate with each other. After all, they lack some experience and enthusiasm, so it is no problem to arrange positions for defense.

However, if you take the initiative to attack in the field, your combat effectiveness will decline instead.

Only the old slaves came out from Gaizhou City and led the army to attack them. They relied on the city of Yulinpu and set up formations outside the city.

In this way, it is extremely advantageous to the Jin Jiang army.

"If the old slave continues to ignore it, then I really have to follow him to raid Haizhou again."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Tang Qing'an did have a new plan.

With nearly [-] domestic reinforcements, [-] North Korean troops, and [-] navy soldiers, a total of [-] soldiers.

Here comes the tactic from several years ago.

Haizhou has only five thousand soldiers.

But this plan is a bit risky.

Among the [-] troops, there is not a single main battalion of the Jinjiang Army. Although there are many people, it is doubtful whether they can quickly conquer Haizhou.

After leaving the [-] troops, he himself had only [-] Jinjiang troops left in his headquarters.

The old slave has more than [-] troops, if he takes advantage of this opportunity to attack him, the outcome is uncertain.

The generals understood the general's intentions.

……

Gaizhou City.

The old slave is waiting.

Waited for a day and waited for two days.

There was still no news of Beizhen's destruction.

Ajiga is a veteran who has followed him all his life. During his military career, his analysis of the situation is no worse than others.

Even he was worried about the combat effectiveness of the Jinjiang army, so the old slave did not dare to do dangerous things, and he had only [-] soldiers.

Although Saarhu only has more than [-] soldiers, they are all barbarians of his own clan. He has confidence in both trust and combat effectiveness.

This time he only had more than [-] soldiers, of which more than [-] Mongolian soldiers and Han soldiers surrendered.

The Jinjiang Army has 13 soldiers, including [-] elite soldiers.

If so calculated.

The strength of the Jinjiang army is not weaker than that of Saerhu's more than [-] Zhou army.

As for General Tang of the Jinjiang Army, he fought steadily all the way, without giving him a chance to take advantage of it.

The old slave hesitated.

After all, according to his original plan, he lost nearly [-] soldiers.

Twenty thousand soldiers is an important factor that can determine the outcome of the battlefield.

This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

Every time he did not despise the young General Tang.

Whether he concentrated his forces to attack Jinzhou a few years ago, or sent [-] soldiers to garrison Danguanxiong City this time, he was defeated by the opponent with his skills.

Luangu Pass was garrisoned by five thousand soldiers.

It's not a problem to stick to it for a month.

But it was broken in one day.

Who would have thought.

The old slave is still hesitating.

The navy of the Jinjiang Army invaded Haizhou.

The old slave who received the Haizhou Military News no longer hesitated.

He wants to use [-] soldiers to severely damage the Jinjiang Army.

Let the Jinjiang army be unable to recover for at least three years.

And Huangtaiji still has 11 elite soldiers.

Swap.

The old slave looked towards the south firmly.
