Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 182

In the lobby of Haizhou Guard Commander's Yamen, Taichang and a group of generals frowned and remained silent around the sand table they brought over.

Now, they have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. There are 19 troops gathered inside and outside Haizhou City, and the combined strength of Jiannu in Liaoyang City and Shenyang City is only [-].

It can be said that as long as the Jiannu cavalry don't rush back, they will definitely be able to take Liaoyang City and Shenyang City!
However, hard attacking Liaoyang and Shenyang is still not the first choice.

You must know that Liaoyang and Shenyang are important towns in eastern Liaodong. Their scale exceeds that of ordinary prefectures, and their defenses are not generally high.

Moreover, after Jiannu occupied these two cities, he also summoned hundreds of thousands of Liao people to repair and expand the two cities, making their defense more powerful than before.

What is even more worrying is that there are Hongyi cannons in these two cities. Although there are not many of them, their power is extremely astonishing.

If it is really a hard attack, I am afraid that each city will have to pay at least tens of thousands of casualties.

The problem is that he can't choose to besiege, because although they have a large number of troops, it is impossible to surround both big cities. Once more than [-] troops surround one big city, the slaves of the other big city will definitely know. There is basically no way to block it. In about a month, Nurhachi will surely lead the cavalry back to help.

Although the Shenji Battalion is already able to bear the slave cavalry hard at this moment, they will definitely not rush to the place where the Shenji Battalion is stationed foolishly. By then, the slave cavalry will harass around the periphery, and the casualties will definitely be greater.

How to do it?

Is it really taking people's lives to pile them up!

How many lives would that cost!
You know, at this moment, there are nearly [-] infantrymen of the Eight Banners Jiannu Han in Liaoyang City, and more than [-] infantrymen of the Eight Banners Jiannuman in Shenyang City.

The two cities add up to at least [-] defenders. Even if calculated on a one-to-one ratio, taking the two cities will require at least [-] casualties. What's more, the casualties of the attacking side will outnumber the defending side in all likelihood. of.

If he was really determined to defend, and with the help of Hongyi cannons, he ordered people to attack hard, and the casualties might exceed [-].

Do that, no way!
In case the slave cavalry just came back after being disabled, they would be in danger.

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then asked: "General Liu, did Liaoyang and Shenyang really not realize that the Southern Four Guards have been captured by us?"

Liu Xingzuo nodded without hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Southern Four Guards were originally guarded by the General, and Dai Shan had fallen out with the General, and he hasn't communicated with the General for a long time. There is no news from here. That's normal. Besides, if they find out that there is a change in the South Four Guards, they will definitely send a large number of scouts to spy on the news. Now the scouts in Liaoyang City are still patrolling within [-] miles around the city, and have not appeared in Haizhou Guard. Nearby, this proves that they didn't notice at all."

This can be used.

To tell the truth, Taichang really wanted to repay him in his own way, and sent spies to make trouble in Liaoyang City and Shenyang City.

At the beginning, Jiannu used this trick to take down the two important towns of Shenyang and Liaoyang without any effort.

If possible, he would naturally want to use this method to take back the two important towns.

The problem is that Liu Xingzuo seems to be the only spy he can send.

Liu Xingzuo is the chief general of the Southern Four Guards, can he go to be a spy there?

Thinking of this, Taichang tentatively asked: "General Liu, if you go to Liaoyang or Shenyang with thousands of troops, will they let you enter the city?"

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo couldn't help wondering: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work. After all, the last general is the chief general of the Southern Four Guards, and there are not many men under him. If Mao rashly ran over with thousands of troops, even if he didn't quarrel with Dai Shan Turning it over will also arouse people's suspicion. What's more, every time the general went to Liaoyang and Shenyang, he only brought more than a hundred personal guards. I'm afraid they thought that the last general was going to cause trouble, and in this case, they would definitely not dare to let the last general lead the army into the city."

More than a hundred people, can it be used?

It is impossible to guard a city gate without thousands of people!

Oh, what should I do?

Sending Liu Xingzuo with more than a hundred people is simply sending people to death!
Taichang is really in a difficult situation. Just after he made great achievements, he sent him to die. This is really chilling!
Unexpectedly, Liu Xingzuo suddenly had an idea and said: "Your Majesty, the last general has thought of a way, but I don't know if it will work."

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help being overjoyed and said, "Oh, what can be done, let's talk about it."

Liu Xingzuo said cautiously: "Actually, Li Yongfang's eldest son Li Yangeng, like the general, has the same intention to return to Daming. As long as the general goes to lobby, he will definitely follow the general to surrender. If we can hold Li Yongfang again, Then Li Yangeng can control at least half of the Han Eight Banners under Li Yongfang. At that time, it should not be a problem for us to occupy a city gate."

And such a thing?
Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help asking curiously: "Li Yangeng will really go with you to clean up his father, what is he doing for?"

Liu Xingzuo nodded slowly and said: "It should be, because Li Yangeng was born of Li Yongfang's original wife, Wang, and is an orthodox Han. He had objections to his father's sentence to be a slave, and Li Yongfang divorced him. His mother, Wang, married Abatai's daughter, and his mother died in depression, so he hated Li Yongfang, a ruthless father who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country."

That's what happened.

It is really possible that Li Yangeng will clean up his father and return to Daming!
Taichang thought for a while, then solemnly said: "How dare you take 100 people to Liaoyang City?"

Liu Xingzuo cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "As long as the emperor says a word, the general will die!"

Hearing this, Taichang nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, as long as you can capture a city gate and let the army rush into Liaoyang City, I will grant you the title of Uncle Loyalty!"

You know, if you just rush in, you don't have to go all out to attack the city, and you can avoid at least 3 or [-] casualties.

When Liu Xingzuo heard the words, he was too excited.

He really didn't expect that after he surrendered to Ming Dynasty, he would be treated so favorably. Not long after he was named Zuo Dudu, he was going to be named Earl again!
Such a favor, what else is there to say.

He hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the emperor, I will swear allegiance to the death!"

Immediately afterwards, Taichang looked at Cao Wenzhao who was on the side.

He sighed inwardly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Go let Bianjiao get ready, pick a hundred elite masters from Jinyiwei, and prepare to go to Liaoyang with General Liu."

Alas, this is the son-in-law I made up for myself!
Cao Wenzhao didn't say anything, just bowed and retreated.

Seeing this, Zu Dashou cupped his hands cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, the last general has the courage, why don't you let Da Bi go with you, with him and General Xiao Cao joining forces, thousands of troops can come and go freely."

This is true, Zuer Lengzi is really terrifyingly fierce. It is estimated that with him and Cao Bianjiao joining forces, even if the matter fails, he can still be killed from Liaoyang City!

Taichang nodded repeatedly and said: "Well, let Dabi go with him, you have to tell him that he must obey the command and not act recklessly."

Zu Dashou hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you don't start fighting, Da Bi will still be very obedient."

Uh, this means that once you kill him, you will become a fool!
All right, once a fight starts, you will die and I will die, there is nothing to hold back.

In the early morning of the next day, when Maoshi arrived, scouts and horses rushed out from the city of Haizhou and quickly dispersed towards the north. Immediately after that, there were orders one after another, and the 17 troops moved and quickly gathered outside the north gate.

Taichang saw that the densely packed phalanx had stretched out of sight, so he raised his hand and waved his teeth.

Seeing this, Liu Xingzuo took Cao Bianjiao, Zu Dabi and hundreds of "personal guards" on horseback and headed straight to Liaoyang City without hesitation.

After the 17 horses had gathered, the banner was soaring straight into the sky. After a burst of urgent reports, Taichang said to Zhao Lian with a serious face: "Mingshan, Haizhou City will be handed over to you."

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked down the city wall, waved and led an army of 17 to Qianshan, more than [-] miles south of Liaoyang City.

It was already the outermost area of ​​Liaoyang City, and the scouts in Liaoyang City generally would not cross Qianshan Mountain.

Of course, even if he crosses over, he will be strangled by the dense scouts here. He is not very worried about exposing the target, but he does not know whether Liu Xingzuo can really persuade Li Yangeng to take the south gate of Liaoyang City!
