Chapter 687 Situation

The Ming Dynasty took the Haizhou Acropolis lightly, without any big moves, but continued to consolidate the results. With the Haizhou Acropolis as a support point, they continued to extend the scouting battle forward, and constantly expanded the scope of coverage, forcing the latter King had to come and fight a war of attrition.

Huang Taiji had no other choice. The Ming Dynasty was too powerful. Mao Wenlong alone, the governor of Liaodong, had more than [-] cavalry. In addition, Qin Liangyu and Mangui's troops were far stronger than his Dajin.

Faced with this situation, Huang Taiji had to lead a large group of troops to deal with them. If the Ming army did not have the ability to fight against the Ming Dynasty, once the Ming army went north, as long as the troops approached Liaoyang, Liaoyang City would not be able to defend at all. Huang Taiji had no choice but to defend the city with the cannons of the dynasty. He had no way to resist it, and he had to guard against the hot air balloons released by the Ming dynasty.

Huang Taiji knew that all his hopes were on the road between Haizhouwei and Liaoyang. If he could not stop the Ming army on this road, it would be inevitable for him to give up Liaodong.

Once the Ming Dynasty approached Liaoyang City, he would not be able to defend Liaoyang City.And once the Ming Dynasty captured Liaoyang City, they would rely on Liaoyang City to carry out scouting battles. That is to say, Shengjing was under the Ming Dynasty's soldiers. Dajin is also a human being, and he also needs to eat, and he also eats and drinks a lot. Without production, he can't last long.

Therefore, Huang Taiji knew that the victory or defeat of Liaodong was largely determined by the distance between Haizhouwei and Liaoyang City. If he could not stop the Ming Dynasty, he had no choice but to give up Shengjing. up.Of course, maybe you can also directly fight Ming Dynasty to clean things up...

Huang Taiji had no choice but to lead a large group of people to deal with the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of the outcome, Huang Taiji had to come.

Bringing a large group of people here, that is to say, his Daikin is the same as last year, no production, all relying on laurels, and the progress of westward expansion has to be slowed down. He, Huang Taiji, couldn't afford the confrontation. Facing the behemoth Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji had a kind of helpless fear. The Ming Dynasty was too huge for Dajin.

……

Sancha River.

Sun Chengzong is in a good mood recently. He defeated Haizhou Wei lightly, and the situation in Liaodong has been opened. The rest is to rely on the strong strength of the Ming Dynasty to slowly figure it out. Sun Chengzong does not want to conquer Liaodong in one fell swoop. It is too aggressive and risky , the requirements for the entire combat officer and army are too high, and if one is not careful, the whole game will be lost. Now the Ming Dynasty is not in a hurry to seek success, but only seeks stability. The Ming Dynasty can afford it, relying on strong strength and integrity overwhelm the opponent.

Sun Chengzong spent almost every day in the war room.

"Ge Lao, the urgent report from Commander Qin on the front line." A staff officer delivered the urgent report just received to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong was reviewing a battle plan. When he saw an urgent report from the front line, he immediately put down what he was doing and picked up the report to look at it.

After watching for a while, Sun Chengzong was relieved a lot.It has been found out that it can be confirmed that the chieftain of Donglulu led a large group of troops to personally sit in Liaoyang City and confront Daming.The entire eastern barbarians, except that there is still a lot of troops in the west, have shrunk in other areas.

This is what Sun Chengzong wanted.

"Elder Ge..." The staff officers couldn't wait to look at Sun Chengzong, hoping that this serious, practical and kind elder Ge, who was willing to train younger generations, could talk about the latest situation.

"It has been found out that the eastern captives are fully contracted, and the chieftains personally sit in Liaoyang City and confront our army. Well, except for some troops in the west, all other parties are shrinking..." Sun Chengzong briefly explained the matter .Sun Chengzong is very optimistic about this group of young staff officers.

"Oh..." The staff officers couldn't help shouting with joy.The Ming Dynasty used its huge strength to oppress the Eastern Captives and had to follow the Ming Dynasty's intentions. To achieve this step, the victory took another step forward.

The staff officers were overjoyed and discussed heatedly. Sun Chengzong also watched with joy as this group of young people discussed how and what would happen to Donglu.

……

Forbidden City.

Yang Reform is also paying attention to the progress of the war.The staff department will still organize, analyze, and redistribute the news gathered from various places.

Yang Reform paid more attention to the war, but in fact, he didn't give too much pointers on the war.To be honest, it took only a year or two for Yang Reform to really come into contact with this kind of nationwide battle. Yang Reform didn't feel that he was a naturally talented commander. Yang Reform knew that he was actually an ordinary person.

On this point, Yang Reform has a clear understanding, and doesn't feel that with a wave of his hand, the enemy will be annihilated. It is easy to talk but hard to do.

Yang Reform is processing the memorial in Qianqing Palace, and after processing the memorial, he will go to the platform to pay attention to the progress of the war.

However, new news was sent to Qianqing Palace in advance.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, asked to see him. He said that he had an urgent report from Sun Ge from the east of Liaodong." Wang Chengen reported.

"Oh, see!" Yang Reform hurriedly wrote the last few words in a notebook, put down his pen, and said.It is important news to get the news sent by Yuan Chonghuan himself.

Yuan Chonghuan soon entered the warm cabinet.

"I see Your Majesty!" Yuan Chonghuan saluted with the urgent report in his hand.

"Excuse me, what's the urgent report from Master Sun?" Yang Reformed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the eastern captives have fully contracted. In addition to some troops in the west, the chieftain led a brigade to confront our army in Liaoyang..." Yuan Chonghuan said happily, and after finishing speaking, he handed over the urgent report in his hand come up.

Yang Reform hastily opened the emergency report, and it looked that, as Yuan Chonghuan said, this letter gave a comprehensive introduction to the recent situation of Donglu. It can be said that he was cornered by the Ming Dynasty.

"Hehehe, that's right. As long as the stalemate continues, I, Da Ming, will be able to surrender without a fight." Yang Reform read the emergency report and said with a smile.

"Yeah! Your Majesty, last year Donglu basically did not carry out any production. This year has just started, and there have been repeated wars. Almost all manpower has been devoted to the war, and there is no time for production. If this continues, Donglu will definitely not be able to resist. Let’s live, according to Chen, it won’t be long before the captives from the east take the risk to attack our Ming army, or they will automatically flee west into the grassland, other than that, there is no other way..." Yuan Chonghuan said happily.In any case, he is now the Secretary of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. Although the war is not supervised by him, nor is he personally commanded, it still has a lot to do with him. Winning or losing is also very important to him.

"The words are good, but it's better that I, Daming, don't make mistakes..." Yang Reform was also very happy.For fighting, especially against people of the founding level like Huang Taiji, Yang Reform does not expect the Ming Dynasty to produce a super genius who is far superior to Huang Taiji in terms of intelligence, command, and leadership in combat. The commanders and generals facing Huang Taiji here, don't be too far behind Huang Taiji in terms of intelligence, command, and leadership in combat.

Yang Reform does not expect to win Huang Taiji with the personal ability of the commander, nor does he expect a certain commander to win the war with a surprise attack. What he hopes is to rely on the powerful strength of the Ming Dynasty to completely overwhelm Huang Taiji. realistic.

Looking at the entire late Ming Dynasty, there are no characters who crushed Huang Taiji in terms of intelligence, leading troops in battle, etc., at most they are on the same level as Huang Taiji, or slightly worse, the kind of people who hope to rely on the commander's personal ability to make surprise soldiers To defeat Huang Taiji, Yang Reform has never thought about it, and it is not realistic. Huang Taiji himself is a figure like the founding of the country, and if he is to be crushed, what level will this person who can crush Huang Taiji be?If there is really such a person, Yang Reform will wake up in his dreams. The arrangements and strategies he made are basically based on relying on overall strength to overwhelm Huang Taiji. As for the personal abilities of the commander and general, Yang Reform only hopes that they can Just play normally, just don't miss Huang Taiji too far.

"...Your Majesty, with Mr. Sun Ge sitting in front and Commander Qin, there shouldn't be any problems. They are all well-informed soldiers..." Yuan Chonghuan echoed.

"Well, what I'm talking about is, I hope." Yang Reform replied.It is impossible for the commander's personal ability to be stronger than the opponent, so he can only work hard on the overall strength, making up for it with "potential" and surpassing the opponent with "potential".

"...Your Majesty, according to Elder Sun Ge's combat deployment, it is time for Datong to take action." Yuan Chonghuan asked again. As Minister of the Ministry of War, Yuan Chonghuan also knew the overall plan.

"Well, since Master Sun said that Datong can take action, let's do what Master Sun said. Datong can make some big moves... Liaodong is afraid that there will be a stalemate for a while, Huang Taiji is afraid I don't have time to manage the Mongolian right-wing tribes..." Yang Reformed.In fact, speaking of it, Sun Chengzong can directly order Datong to do what to do in this matter, but Sun Chengzong still puts this decision-making power back to Yang Reform to show respect. Even to control the elite of the entire northern Ming Dynasty, its power is too great, and Sun Chengzong has to make some gestures.

Yang Reform did not intend to negate Sun Chengzong's decision, nor did he intend to change it. Sun Chengzong said that the Liaodong side had already attached Donglu, and the Datong side could move, so Yang Reform would follow Sun Chengzong's decision.

"The minister leads the decree..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"It's not just Datong that needs to move, Ji, Xuan and other aspects, the Qing family should also pay more attention and urge more. The preparations everywhere must not be relaxed, otherwise, if something unexpected happens, you will be caught off guard and you will be a big fool." Yang Reform And said.

"The minister takes the decree!" Yuan Chonghuan said again.

Yuan Chonghuan got the will and left.

Yang Reform originally wanted to write a letter to further delegate power to Sun Chengzong, but think about it, forget it. Sun Chengzong must have his own ideas in returning the power that originally belonged to him to him. , may not be a good thing.Yang Reform wrote several times, but failed to write this letter, and in the end, he gave up.

After dealing with this matter, in fact, there is no need to go to the platform today.However, Yang Reform remembered the matter of Datong again.

Yang Reform doesn't expect to rely on the commander's personal ability to crush Huang Taiji, so all the arrangements for Liaodong are based on strength first, and the commander's personal ability is secondary.

However, in Datong, Yang Reform did not think so. Yang Reform felt that in Datong, perhaps he could try to rely on the personal ability of the commander to crush those Mongols. For one thing, among the Mongolian right-wing people, none of them has become successful yet. There are no founding-level figures, they are all ordinary people, so Yang Reform is pinning his hopes on the commander-in-chief's stunning performance.

Yang Reform couldn't help laughing at the thought of the governor who could brandish a saber and lead a team to charge.The battle in Liaodong must be boring and unremarkable.But in terms of Datong, it may be amazing.

Thinking of the Mongolian right-wing tribes that had been infiltrated by the Military Intelligence Bureau like a sieve, Yang Reform laughed even more.

"Big companion..."

"Big companion..."

Yang Reform thought while laughing.

"Your maidservant is here." Wang Chengen was busy outside, just arrived at the door, when he heard the emperor's call, he came in immediately.

"Send a letter to Cao Huachun, and let his people do their best to support Lu Xiangsheng, and try to dismantle the Mongolian right-wing tribes in one fell swoop, so as to avoid the trouble of our court." Yang Reform tried his best to hold back his laughter, and told Wang Chengen.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen promised.Cao Huachun is in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau, which is responsible for intelligence, infiltration, etc. in the north.

Regarding Datong, Yang Reform's requirements are different from those of Liaodong. In Liaodong, Yang Reform does not urge war, nor dictates, nor imposes any requirements. It is very lenient, as long as Huang Taiji's army is stabilized.But in terms of Datong, Yang Reform doesn't think highly of it, and he has great confidence in dismantling this coalition force in one fell swoop.

……

Datong, beyond the border wall.

Now Lu Xiangsheng has moved the governor's office outside the side wall and started working on the grassland.

Although the ice and snow hadn't melted quickly at the beginning of the new year, the flames of war had actually started last year. Therefore, as soon as the spring began, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't wait to enter the grassland.

Lu Xiangsheng felt that he was particularly suitable for leading the army, and his temperament was more like a general leading the army than a literati governor. Which kind of horseback charge Lu Xiangsheng prefers, it is really great.

Accompanying Lu Xiangsheng out of the customs, in addition to the [-] new troops and the [-] frontier troops, there are also [-] Imperial Alliance troops.

Just after the Chinese New Year, this group of people and horses had been assembled and they drove to Datong. As soon as the people and horses were ready, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't wait to leave the customs. Lu Xiangsheng was eager to try his sword.

"Report!..." A messenger cavalry ran towards Lu Xiangsheng quickly. Lu Xiangsheng also heard the shout, so he slowed down. Otherwise, at his speed, the messenger cavalry might not be able to catch up with him for a while. .

When the messenger cavalry approached, he unwrapped his parcel and presented it to Lu Xiangsheng.

"My lord, it's an urgent report from the imperial court." The messenger cavalry was sweating profusely and said panting.

Lu Xiangsheng took the burden, first checked the seal, it was intact, and then opened the seal to look.

"Futai..." Wu Sangui approached and asked.At the same time, there is also the very old Zhao Shujiao, who is now assigned to Lu Xiangsheng and under Lu Xiangsheng's command. Zhao Shijiao has only one feeling for this ridiculously young governor, that is, young and true. Well, he just felt that compared with this young governor, he was really old and outrageous.Regarding all kinds of things about this young governor, Zhao Lvjiao only felt that it was unbelievable. Now that he is asked to work under this young governor, Zhao Lvjiao has no complaints or regrets. Appreciate the "spectacle" of this young governor waving a saber and charging into battle.

"Sun Ge's side has already succeeded. Donglu was forced to pull most of the people back to confront Commander Qin. It is basically impossible to suddenly enter the grassland. It is a good opportunity for me to do it." Lu Xiangsheng briefly introduced .

"Futai, this is indeed a good opportunity! Now that we have decided to contain Donglu's men and horses in Liaodong, we can do it on our side. Otherwise, when we fight the Mongols halfway, we will be mixed by Donglu feet, that would be miserable..." Wu Sangui immediately said, Wu Sangui was younger, and only felt that he could get along with this slightly older governor.So, it's not a big deal.

"Futai, this is indeed a good opportunity, but before doing anything, I still have to talk to Eunuch Cao. If you can get Eunuch Cao's support for this matter, you will get twice the result with half the effort..." Zhao Lediao interjected.Zhao Lengjiao's official position is actually quite high, but he still has to listen to Lu Xiangsheng due to the rules of literati restraining warriors.Of course, the few people who lead the army here are all members of the imperial party, and Lu Xiangsheng is a person who doesn't pay much attention to face and manners, so although they get along for a long time, they can talk quickly, as if they have been together for many years. As acquaintances in general, Zhao Lijiao was happy to deal with this governor with a military temperament.

"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, it seems that Eunuch Cao has arrived..." Lu Xiangsheng said.On the rapidly approaching smoke and dust in the distance, there is the banner of Cao Huachun.

……

After receiving the emperor's secret order, Cao Huachun didn't stay long, and immediately ran over to look for Lu Xiangsheng.In the past, Cao Huachun did have opinions about the emperor sending him to such a marginal place, thinking that the emperor was alienating him, which made him very sad.

However, as he became more and more interesting in the Military Intelligence Bureau, Cao Huachun felt that his life was not in vain. The job assigned to him by the emperor was actually very interesting.

For example, watching the tribes being infiltrated by themselves and instigated by themselves to become the Imperial Association Army is actually very fulfilling.Especially in this decisive battle with the Mongolian right wing, I think that I have already instigated several tribes. Once a fight starts, these tribes will turn against the water. This decisive battle has not yet started, but the actual result has already come out. The feeling is better!
Of course, the emperor told him that he had to walk in the dark when he entered this profession, and the honor did not belong to him. Regarding this, Cao Huachun felt that it was a pity. Maybe the world would know about him after many years of his death. Credit...
