Chapter 685
As soon as Sun Chengzong arrived in Sanchahe, he immediately held a pre-war meeting.

Ma Xianglin introduced the current situation of the two sides, and proposed to immediately send troops to the north and quickly take down the Haizhou Acropolis, which is a hundred miles away from the Sancha River.

Sun Chengzong agreed to quickly take down Haizhou Acropolis.

"Zhensu, have all the officers and soldiers arrived?" Sun Chengzong said.

"Mr. Huige, all the officers and soldiers participating in the battle are here, and they are currently adjusting their tactics." Qin Liangyu quickly replied.

"Okay! How is the road? Can you walk on chariots?" Sun Chengzong asked again.

"Mr. Huige, I have already explored clearly and found several roads that can be marched. I guarantee that there will be no delays. Although the roads are a bit muddy, they can still be marched..." Qin Liangyu replied again, she was the one who fought on the ground this time Commander-in-Chief, of course, is well aware of this.

"Okay! Can I still go on a rainy day?" Sun Chengzong continued to ask.

"Mr. Huige, no problem. The spies have already explored several roads. The ditches that would flood when it rains in previous years have also been marked in detail. They have also prepared corresponding river crossing points. There will be no delay... ...Besides, the Sancha River is only a hundred miles away from Haizhouwei, and it can be reached in one day, as long as there is no heavy rain, it should not be a big problem..." Qin Liangyu replied again.Regarding the previous paragraph, Qin Liangyu has considerable confidence and can be quite sure that this is all due to the establishment of the General Staff Department. An important function of the General Staff Department is to explore, draw maps, and select advance routes to prepare for possible emergencies. Plan for the unexpected.The distance of hundreds of miles, all the ditches, ridges, big and small rivers, have been marked in detail. Even if the water is flooded, you can know where it is high and can cross the river, and where it is low and cannot cross it.Therefore, Qin Liangyu is extremely confident about this.On the contrary, the latter sentence has a lot of hesitation, more of a guess, it depends on God's wink.

"Okay! Well done...how much food and grass have you got?" Sun Chengzong said again, this is a formal inquiry about war preparations.

"Returning to the old man, [-]% has already been reached, and we will continue to deliver it in the future. There will be no shortage of food, grass, and supplies..." Qin Liangyu replied.In fact, the food, grass and materials prepared by Sanchahe this time are the food, grass and materials for the entire Liaodong War. In addition to the materials needed for the war, there are also materials needed for occupation and pursuit. The actual material supply is quite sufficient, [-]% of the reserves , As far as war is concerned, it is more than enough.

"How is the battlefield cover implemented?" Sun Chengzong asked again.

"Old Huige, it's pretty good. I've firmly controlled the area within fifty miles of the coastline, fifty miles away, and now I basically control it. Now I have pushed the covered area under the city wall of Haizhouwei..." Said Here, Qin Liangyu's voice gradually became higher.The cover of the battlefield is now highly respected by the commanders on the battlefield, and it is impossible not to respect it. The rules of sand table deduction passed down from the palace. During the deduction, you can only see the mobilization of troops on your own side, but not the soldiers on the other side. In the case of horse mobilization, the referee will only tell you what happened when your soldiers and horses meet the enemy... Therefore, today's battlefield commanders are quite concerned about this matter. The "sense of déjà vu" of handing over one's life to God is too strong. If you lose in the deduction, you can do it again, but on the real battlefield, is there any chance to do it again?No matter how lazy and stupid a person is, he knows to find out the enemy's situation, instead of relying on his own guesswork, nor relying on guesswork, let alone entrusting his life to God. To prevent the opponent from finding out their own details, so when it comes to battlefield cover, the commanders who can play this thing have considerable "feelings" for him.

"Okay!... How is the running-in of each department?" Sun Chengzong asked again.

"Mr. Huige, all the ministries are stepping up their drills to get in touch as soon as possible..." Qin Liangyu replied.

"Well...can you fight?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"Back to the old man, you can fight..." Qin Liangyu immediately agreed. In fact, there are no more than [-] Dongren on the opposite side. Their army is all elite. Even if they don't use chariot battalions, they can completely solve the problem with cavalry. It doesn't exist at all. any problem.

"Okay! Run in for another three days, with a limit of three days. After three days, if there is no abnormal weather, attack Haizhou Weicheng, and try to take down Haizhou Weicheng in one fell swoop, and use it as a fortress for our army to advance." Sun Chengzong immediately stepped down decided.

"Your officer obeys orders!" Several people in the war room immediately agreed, their voices were full of joy and joy. No one questioned this order, and there was no need to question it. The generals who led the army all hoped to fight as soon as possible. Such an easy victory, there is no reason to refuse.

……

Forbidden City.

Wenhua Hall.

Yang Reform received Huang Taiji's handwriting asking for an alliance sent by Lin Danhan.Therefore, another small court meeting was held in this Wenhua Palace to discuss countermeasures, or to show off to the officials.

"Gentlemen, this was sent by Lin Danhan, and there is an alliance letter from captive chieftain Huang Taiji requesting an alliance to deal with our Daming. In the letter, he analyzes our Daming very well, and describes our Daming as extremely dangerous... All of you Let's take a look." Yang Reform said with a smile.Various layouts have gradually become miraculously effective. Lin Danhan can send this important thing, which is enough to explain the problem. Thinking about the past, the Ming Dynasty had to ask Lin Danhan, but now the situation is reversed. Lin Danhan begged the Ming Dynasty to come. At the very least, it is impossible to sit upright.

There was a commotion among the ministers, would there be such a thing?It's really hard to imagine.

Wang Chengen quickly gave the letter to the ministers, and the ministers quickly circulated it.

The letter was quickly circulated among the ministers, and after being circulated, the letter was collected again.

The expressions on the faces of the ministers were different, there were doubts, surprises, and smiles.

"My dear family, when Lin Danhan sent this letter, he also asked me to give him more support to help him resist the Eastern Captives... Let's talk about this matter." Yang Reformed.

The ministers discussed again.

"Your Majesty, do you dare to ask if this letter is true or not?" First, a minister asked, doubting the letter.

"This should not be faked. Huang Taiji, the captive chieftain, also gave me a letter of appeal from the Ming Dynasty. I even have a private letter written by captive chieftain Huang Taiji to Yuan Bingbu and Mao Wenlong...the literary talent and handwriting are also good, and The handwriting on this letter is exactly the same, buddy, bring a few letters and show them to your family..." Yang Reform said.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen had already agreed to leave, and took out the prepared things.

All the ministers heard that there was also a private letter written by Huang Taiji to Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, and they all turned their attention to Yuan Chonghuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have indeed received a private letter from the captive chieftain before. From my point of view, the handwriting on this letter is written by the captive chieftain Huang Taiji..." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yuan Chonghuan stood up and testified , also admitted that he had received a private letter from the captive chieftain, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Isn't this letter with the emperor now?

When the ministers heard Yuan Chonghuan's affirmation, they discussed again.Wang Chengen also sent other letters, and the officials read them again, and came to the conclusion that they were indeed true letters.

"Your Majesty, I think that Lin Danhan is blackmailing me, Daming..." Someone said.

"My Majesty, I believe that Lin Dan Khan was forced to do nothing, and he can only use this letter to express his sincerity in forming an alliance with our court. It is true to ask for things from our court..." Some people also said that Lin Dan Khan Is a beggar.

"Your Majesty, I believe that our war in the north is indeed at a critical juncture. It is still necessary to unite with Lin Danhan, although Lin Danhan is suspected of asking for blackmail." A sober person said so.

"...Your Majesty, it is said that Lin Danhan gave Donglu what he got here from me. I give Lin Danhan support in this way, and I am actually raising Donglu! This is helping the enemy... . . . " There were also outraged ones.

At the Xiaochao meeting, although it was a bit noisy, one thing is certain, that is, Lin Danhan sent this letter, which explains the problem in itself. If it weren't for the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Danhan would have sent this thing?The voices of the ministers were quite bright.

"Han Qing's family, what do you think?" Yang Reform asked. Now that Sun Chengzong has gone out and Yuan Chonghuan has become Minister of the Ministry of War again, Han Yu's influence in the court is already quite large. Yang Reform intends to ask Han Yu , See what Han Yu said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that no matter how you say it, Lin Danhan can send this letter, which can explain the problem. I think it is better to provide some support. However, now that Lin Danhan is far away from Jinning, I want to give Lin Danhan another letter." Khan's aid, the journey is long and the transportation is really not easy. The minister thinks that the aid can be halved, or halved again. Thinking about the long journey, Lin Dan Khan can't say anything. In this way, Lin Dan Khan can be appeased, and Lin Dan Khan can be given less Some things will restore Lin Danhan's strength to a limited extent, and if Lin Danhan has a different heart in the future, it will not cause too much harm to our dynasty..." Han Yu said.

Yang Reform nodded. Han Yu was indeed capable. What he said and did was fairly fair, and he was able to speak from a fair standpoint. This was the reason why Yang Reform admired Han Yu. A centrist is quite qualified.

"The Qing family is right. Does the Qing family have anything to say?" Yang Reform asked.

But no one spoke.

Seeing that no one spoke, Yang Reform looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "How does Yuan Qing's family view this matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have no objection..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Okay, since you all have no objections, then do as Han Qing's family said, and continue to provide assistance, but reduce the amount of assistance to half, and in addition, I will give an extra [-]% to Lin Danhan. It's my wish..." Yang Reform said with a smile.Lin Danhan is indeed quite tragic. He is about to attack the Donglu lair. This Huang Taiji is probably going to run away, probably because he has no guts to fight with himself. Huang Taiji went west to the grassland. Where is Lin Danhan going without tragedy?Of course, I have to control this speed well, neither let Lin Danhan fail prematurely, nor let Lin Danhan be too stiff. If Lin Danhan's character explodes and Huang Taijigan is put down, it will be bad, then I can only turn against Lin Danhan, which is not so good for my reputation.Now, it is necessary to stabilize Lin Danhan.

"Your Majesty is holy." All the ministers said, on this matter, the ministers all know that although the emperor asked him to discuss, but how to actually do it, but it is not his turn to worry about it, whether to help or not to help, it is all up to the emperor In other words, the money and things are all from the hands of the emperor, and they are at most addicted to their mouths.

……

Liaodong.

Sancha River.

Although there was no major war, the cruel scout battle never stopped.The scouts from both sides continued to carry out brutal strangulation, trying to make the other party lose their understanding of the battlefield. The two sides continued to wear down their strength. It was a meat grinder for killing elites, and Hou Jin really didn't have that much flesh and blood to feed into this elite killing machine.

This is the result of the Ming Dynasty's pursuit of battlefield cover.

this day.

A huge convoy of thousands of horse-drawn carriages marched in the open fields of Liaodong. The convoy moved in an orderly manner, which was extremely spectacular.

As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Qin Liangyu sits in the center of Cheying in the play.

Looking at the huge convoy of thousands of chariots, Qin Liangyu felt a lot of emotion.

Although the weather is good, even with the sun shining on it, it is a bit warm, but it is the warm sun that melts the ice and snow, softens the ground, and immediately turns muddy as soon as the carriage passes by. It is really difficult to walk by people. After one day, you can travel thirty miles at most. The soldiers are still very tired, and you have to worry about the soldiers getting sick. It is really troublesome. It is not like today, almost all ride The carriage, relying on the carriage to advance, almost never touched the ground. Although the ground was muddy, the wheels tirelessly rolled over the muddy road and did not cause too much trouble to the movement.

"The ancients used to say that the country of a thousand vehicles is the king of ten thousand vehicles, sincerity is not to be deceived. Today's scene is a true portrayal!" Qin Liangyu did not ride in a carriage, but rode a horse, standing on a slightly higher slope Above, looking at the convoy moving forward, I expressed emotion.

"What the commander-in-chief said is very true. My Ming Dynasty is rich and powerful, and the title of the country of ten thousand vehicles is indeed worthy of it. With such a disciplined team, the Eastern Captives will not worry about being destroyed!" Hong Chengchou was also quite emotional. , Such a huge and spectacular convoy marching on such a vast plain is indeed extremely shocking, and it is inevitable to express emotion.However, what made Hong Chengchou feel even more emotional was that he said this now, before the current emperor ascended the throne, he would not dare to express such emotion, the country of a thousand chariots?King of Ten Thousand Vehicles?These are all asking for money and silver.How do you buy these things if you have no money or silver? Did Daming have money before?Do you have money?Do you have money?The answer is obviously that there is no money. Although the Ming Dynasty is known as the center of the world, but in reality, it can't afford a thousand or ten thousand vehicles.Now it is different. In the blink of an eye, the poor white soldiers who can only use white wax poles as weapons have become the extremely armed white soldiers of the chariot battalion. The gap is really big. Those who can make these changes , who else besides the current emperor?In fact, Hong Chengchou had been wondering all the time, and even had some opinions on the emperor. He felt that the emperor was too greedy for money, too focused on interests, and did not be a "wise" king as the saint said.However, this faint thought was gradually expelled from his heart by Hong Chengchou. Now that he sees the spectacular scene in front of him, the last faint thought is gone. Without money, how can there be a country of thousands of chariots, the king of ten thousand chariots? ?Since the Ming Dynasty was the center of the world and the richest place, shouldn't it be impossible to afford such things?Is it tattered, and fighting with a white wax pole is the right thing to do?
"Yuan Futai has won the award. It all depends on His Majesty's giving and support! We have no other way to repay Your Majesty except to fight the enemy bravely..." Qin Liangyu said with emotion.

"The Commander-in-Chief is right. As ministers, we should serve the country with all our loyalty. For Your Majesty and for the Ming Dynasty, sweep away the Eastern captives, and we will be ashamed of the Ming Dynasty..." Hong Chengchou said.

Mao Wenlong didn't speak, but he was very excited inside. It was the first time he saw such a spectacular scene, and he was more confident in the victory of this war.Mao Wenlong is now completely convinced of the emperor's choice of white-armed soldiers as the main force to conquer the Eastern Captives. He had at most seen descriptions of chariots in military books before. He was skeptical about winning, but now seeing such a rigorous chariot convoy, Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that the military books he had read before had suddenly become more comprehensive.

The strength of an army and whether it can fight can be seen from its marching posture and marching discipline. This is Mao Wenlong's latest discovery.

Everyone on the small soil slope was talking, and a "junior general" came running from a distance, but he was not actually a "junior general". If he didn't look at it with these top commanders, he could be a general in his own right.

It was Qin Liangyu's son, Ma Xianglin, who came.

"Lin'er, how is the front?"

"Back to the commander-in-chief, the former army has passed the Yaozhou post, and they found that most of the Eastern captives came to stop them..." Ma Xianglin also called Qin Liangyu the commander-in-chief in public.

"Oh, have you passed Yaozhou Station? That is to say, half of the distance has passed?" Qin Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried again. Yaozhou Station is between Sancha River and Haizhou Weicheng. After walking half of the distance, this road, because it is relatively safe, hastened on the way. It is a good thing that there are no Tartars to intercept it, but the danger will increase greatly when we are about to enter a place that is not completely sheltered. Be more careful, I'm afraid the speed of this advance will slow down a bit.

"Return to the commander-in-chief, yes." Ma Xianglin replied seriously.

"Okay! Order all the ministries to take a short rest, have a meal, and continue to move forward... We have entered a dangerous area, and all the ministries should be more vigilant and not be careless..." Qin Liangyu ordered.

"The final order will be given." Ma Xianglin agreed in a clear voice.Then go to order.

The army then stopped, and a huge convoy in motion quickly stopped and stopped moving forward.

Hong Chengchou watched the chariot battalion stop neatly, moving like a wave, pushing away layer by layer. He was really curious, and he admired this chariot camp even more in his heart. He only felt that he had to explore the combat methods of this chariot camp Clearly, in the future, he must lead such a battalion of chariots.

After the army ate and drank enough water, the animals rested and started again.Continue to move towards Haizhouwei.

There were no obstacles on the road. Some scouts who wanted to get close to the army to observe the movement were constantly chased and expelled by the scouts of the Ming Dynasty. Along the way, what actually happened was only cruel scout battles.

In the afternoon, when it was less than ten miles away from Haizhou Wei, there was no movement from Haizhou Wei.

As soon as there was movement in Haizhou Acropolis, the Ming army already knew about it.

"Report!..." Qin Liangyu was leading the army marching, and seeing that the army had already marched here, he felt very relieved. When he arrived here, the Haizhou Guard was almost sure to dismount, and when he saw the Tan horse running ahead, he also stopped.

"What's the matter?" Qin Liangyu asked.

"My lord, more than ten thousand Tartars rushed out of Haizhou Weicheng, coming towards our army." Tan Ma said quickly, his voice was very loud.

"Who leads the Tartar army?" Hong Chengchu asked.

"Answer, the leader of the Tartars, Amin." The Tanma replied.

"Wanyu?" Qin Liangyu asked again.

"My lord, yes, there are only more than ten thousand." The Tanma said affirmatively.

"Okay, let's check again! If there is any new situation, report it immediately." Qin Liangyu frowned slightly and said.

"Little one has orders." The Tanma agreed, turned around and mounted the horse and galloped back.

After Qin Liangyu got this information, he began to think about it.

"Commander, didn't you mean that the original soldiers and horses in Haizhou Weili and the troops brought by the Tartar leader Amin totaled no more than [-]. Could it be that they came out in full force? Could it be that the Haizhou Weicheng is all gone?" Hong Chengchou said.

"My Daming side has more than [-] horse troops, all of whom are first-class elites. The leader of the Tartars, Amin, has at most [-] men. How dare he confront my Daming head-on? If you feign a shot, you will leave, otherwise, once our army surrounds me, Amin will die..." Mao Wenlong said indifferently, looking down on Amin.

Qin Liangyu thought about it for a while, and he agreed with Mao Wenlong's point of view. On Daming's side, Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan's cavalry alone numbered more than [-], far surpassing Amin's troops. They were not afraid of Amin's tricks at all. The scouting horses spread out widely, and the movement within a radius of tens of miles should not be concealed from the Ming Dynasty. On this great plain, there is no need to ambush many people and horses anywhere. Therefore, even though Qin Liangyu heard that Amin was coming, In fact, the news did not order the convoy to stop, but to move on.

"Shuai Mao is right. With Ma Jun alone, I am far ahead of Amin's men. I am not afraid of him rushing forward. Amin came here just to make a cut and put on a show." Qin Liangyu was very pleased. I quickly made a judgment. Now the morale of Daming is much higher than that of the Tartars. The morale is not afraid of the Tartars, and the number is several times that of the Tartars. There is no need to be afraid of him. More than [-] people want to fight this The team's idea is really a bit delusional. In Qin Liangyu's view, Amin is probably just perfunctory, pretending to show the East Lulu Chief. According to the information of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Lu Chief and Amin have always been at odds... …

"The commander-in-chief is right." Hong Chengchou was an absolute novice in front of these people. In terms of battlefield sense, observation, and response, he was far behind the two of them. After hearing what the two said, he suddenly woke up and immediately said yes.

The army continued to advance, and did not stop because of the Tartars ahead, as if they didn't care about the Tartars at all.

The huge convoy moves on.

"Report!..." Another detective galloped over.

"What's going on ahead?" Qin Liangyu asked lightly.

"Go back to your lord, the Tartar brigade has already turned back..." the scout reported.

"Oh, I see, let's investigate again." Qin Liangyu smiled slightly after hearing this, and as expected, more than ten thousand people wanted to stop the army.

"Your order!" The Tanma agreed swiftly, turned around, got on his horse, and ran back.

"The commander-in-chief is so calculating, the Tartars really retreated..." Mao Wenlong was the first to compliment.

"Where, it's just a normal speculation, it's nothing." Qin Liangyu said with a slight smile.

"Commander, I'm afraid that the tartars will not only retreat, but they won't even want the Haizhou Acropolis. I'm afraid they will go around the city and retreat directly. I think it's time to pursue it..." Mao Wenlong also said with a smile, in the face of absolute strength, there is no suspense about crushing the Tartars, but Mao Wenlong pretended to be sophisticated.

"Shuai Mao is right, and this commander also thinks so. My army is approaching, and he can't defend Haizhou Weicheng at all. He can only give up. Now that he has left the city, he may not go back. Shuai Mao wants to give it a try. Skill?" Qin Liangyu said with a smile, he was really in a good mood about crushing the Tartars.

"Commander-in-chief, this officer is old, old!" As he said that, Mao Wenlong pretended to be sophisticated, and looked at Hong Chengchou.

"Commander, the subordinate is willing to lead the team and chase after this tartar, which can be regarded as gaining knowledge for the subordinate." Hong Chengchou is not a fool, he understands it very well.This is Mao Wenlong's intention to "test" him. If he is courageous and sensible, at this time, he will definitely understand the meaning of this sentence, and he will definitely go after the Tartars immediately.If he was a foolish, soft-hearted literati, at this moment, he might not understand the meaning of the conversation between Mao Wenlong and Qin Liangyu, and he would hesitate and doubt whether to pursue Donglu.

Sure enough, when Hong Chengchou said that he would lead the team there, Mao Wenlong smiled at Hong Chengchou. Mao Wenlong was more at ease with this young new governor of Liaodong now. It seemed that Hong Chengchou was not a fool or a softie. people.

Qin Liangyu also smiled, she understood what Mao Wenlong meant, and when she heard that Hong Chengchou was willing to lead the team to chase, she smiled and said: "Forget it, since Hong Futai is willing to lead the team to chase, then I will trouble Hong Futai, Hong Futai Taiwan will be chased by 1 horses, with a limit of ten miles..."

Before Qin Liangyu could finish his sentence, another scout ran over.

"Report..."

"...What's the matter?" Qin Liangyu stopped talking and asked.

"My lord, the Tartars walked around the Haizhou Weicheng, but did not enter the city. There have been several thick smokes in the Haizhou Weicheng. It should be the Tartars who are burning the city." The spies said loudly, a little out of breath because of the rapid rush. .

"Well, I see, let's investigate again!" Qin Liangyu said.

"Little one has orders." The Tanma also agreed, then turned around, got on the horse, and ran back.

"The Tartars are destroying the city, Hong Futai, I have to trouble you to advance the city to control the fire and take over the Haizhou Weicheng..." Qin Liangyu said to Hong Chengchou with a smile.

"The next official takes orders." Hong Chengchou, like that general, agreed loudly. This is a favor from Qin Liangyu and Mao Wenlong. Although the Haizhou Acropolis is just receiving it, it is not a big credit, but for him such a For a newcomer, it is still very important, and it is quite beneficial for improving his prestige. He is too junior in qualifications now, and completely depends on the prestige of the emperor to help him suppress, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers below. Yes, now, chasing the Tartars and seizing the city is really too important for him.Hong Chengchou was a smart man, he understood immediately, but agreed with gratitude.
