I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 140
The road to Shenyang was not far away, and the next day Nurhaci led more than 5 Eight Banner soldiers to the south bank of the Hun River in Shenyang.Immediately ordered the troops to set up camp, ordered the rangers to patrol around, and sent people to test and attack the city the next day.

Yang Lian and everyone in the city also received the beacon message early and learned that Nurhachi's army was stationed.

"It seems that Nurhachi is going to attack the city. When will the reinforcements from Liaoyang arrive?"

"The messenger left on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year. He worked hard without stopping. He will arrive in Liaoyang on the second day of the Lunar New Year. He will definitely pass Hupiyi on the way. I think Chen Ce and others will prepare to set off for rescue according to the original plan. Today, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, has already After a day, I guess I should have set off on the road.”

You Shigong was still counting the time, but He Shixian couldn't wait any longer.

"Immediately send someone to urge him. Hupiyi has [-] elite soldiers. If they can come, they will not let the Jianlu succeed. When the time comes, the governor will lead Liaoyang to encircle the Fengjibao army again, and he will not let the old slaves escape."

Yang Lian also understood this, but since he knew it, how could Nurhachi not know it.

"This old slave will also take this into account, so he will either storm the city tomorrow, or he will feign an attack and then besiege the reinforcements. He will not allow our two armies to join forces."

"What's there to be afraid of? As soon as Hupiyi's reinforcements arrive, I will lead an attack and attack Chen Ce's troops from both inside and outside. I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat Jianlu."

Unexpectedly, Yang Lian blurted out as soon as these words came out.

"No!"

Seeing He Shixian's expression of doubt, Yang Lian could only tell the truth.

"Before I came to Shenyang, Governor Xiong told me again and again that the only soldiers in Shenyang who can fight are your four to five thousand servants. The rest can only defend the city and have low morale. So I told you to watch over you and tell you not to do anything. Drinking makes things worse, and we go out of the city to fight."

When General You Shigong heard this, he secretly laughed in his heart. Governor Xiong really knew General He.

He Shixian also looked confused and helpless after hearing this, but after all, it was Xiong Tingbi's order, so he could only listen, but still defended a little aggrievedly.

"The day before yesterday, we distributed a reward of silver and part of the New Year's reward. I saw that after the distribution, the soldiers all said that Imperial Envoy Yang was a man of his word, and their morale increased greatly, and they all asked for battle. Now they say that reinforcements are coming, and we are just defending. City, watching the reinforcements attack, I am afraid that the hearts of the reinforcements will be chilled."

Yang Lian didn't care, and waved her hand to comfort He Shixian.

"It's not that we won't allow support. If we are sure of winning, we can naturally send troops. Otherwise, we can't."

"What if the reinforcements are defeated?"

He Shixian was a little angry, this man was so arrogant.

"We can't save him even if we lose. We can only wait for Governor Xiong to lead his army to rescue us."

He Shixian was immediately angry after hearing this. His original admiration for Yang Lian disappeared in an instant. He wanted to go forward and argue with Yang Lian, but was stopped by You Shigong.

"He Commander-in-Chief, Commander Yang also listened to Governor Xiong's instructions and had no choice but to do so. The war is about to start, so let's not quarrel. Let's wait until Governor Xiong arrives to decide everything."

He Shixian refused to listen and untied You Shigong's hand with one hand, but heard Yang Lian say coldly:
"There is no need to discuss this matter. Except for this matter, all other military matters in Shenyang will be subject to the arrangements of the two commanders-in-chief, He Shixian and You Shigong. I will also personally go to the city wall to defend the city. If the people are still around the city, I will attack it. I will kill myself to thank Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he ignored He Shixian and others and walked away, leaving everyone staring at each other.

There was nothing they could do about Yang Lian's insistence, because this was what Xiong Tingbi meant, so He Shixian had no choice but to accept it.

Yang Lian left the Liaoyang Guard Yamen and went to the garrison mansion. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw the doctor looking at Heshun's wounds.

Seeing Yang Lian coming, he got up and paid a visit to Yang Lian. Yang Lian waved his hand and told him to have a good rest, and then asked the doctor.

"Doctor Zou, how is his injury?"

The doctor named Zou looked at his wounds again.

"To inform the imperial envoy, fortunately, Lord Heshun was wearing thick armor that day, so the swords and guns he received only scratched his skin and did not damage his internal organs. As long as he lies down and rests for a while, he will recover."

Hearing this, Yang Lian laughed.

"I'm afraid I can't even lie down and recuperate now."

Heshun immediately understood what he meant, stood up forcefully, and asked eagerly:

"Is the old slave here?"

Yang Lian touched his beard and nodded, then thanked Dr. Zou and motioned to the servant to hand over the consultation fee.

"Yes, today's beacon warning, the spies came to report that Lao Nu led an army of [-] people and camped at Limu on the south bank of the Hun River. It is estimated that people will be sent to attack the city tomorrow and the next day. I will also go to the city wall to defend the city and live or die with Shenyang."

Seeing the doctor go out, Yang Lian briefly explained the situation to Heshun. When Heshun heard that the old slave was coming, he immediately got up and put on his armor.

"The injuries on my body are not a problem. I will be guarding you tomorrow." "Hahaha, I need you too. Either we can't leave, or you and I both have to go to a higher level. You can rest today and we will be there tomorrow." Defend the city with me."

After saying that, he asked people to take more care of Heshun and others, and then returned to the study to start writing memorials. During this period, he recorded every day's events in the form of memorials, just to be able to report the situation to the emperor in detail afterwards. , but if Shenyang cannot hold on, all this will be useless.

"Master, the people from Jinyiwei are here."

"Well, let him in."

The person who came in was Lu Guangguo, a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu household. Yang Lian stopped the pen and ink in his hand and looked at Lu Guangguo, who was bowing and saluting.

"How is the matter with the Shenyang clan handled?"

"Since yesterday, we have found two families that have correspondence with Li Yongfang. Now they have all been searched. Don't worry, sir. The big Liaodong clan in the city is now as silent as a cicada. They don't dare to act rashly. The humble people will always keep an eye on them. If there is any change, No mercy.”

Yang Lian nodded with satisfaction, then asked Lu Guangguo to take a seat and served tea.

"You have done a good job in this matter. I will definitely ask for credit from Mr. Yang Yishan, but it is not just for this reason that I called you here today."

This made Lu Guangguo wonder what else could happen.

"As a saying goes, consider defeat before victory. Now that Jian Nu is coming to attack, I think that in case the city is defeated, we need to prepare early."

What kind of preparations are you making? Does the imperial envoy want to withdraw early? Lu Guangguo became suspicious and could only ask with a slight hesitation.

"I wonder what preparation you are talking about?"

Seeing that Lu Guangguo had questions, Yang Lian picked up the tea cup, blew on the hot tea, looked at him and said slowly:
"If the city is destroyed, I will not live alone, but I think about the sneak attack by Jianlu on New Year's Eve. In the past few days, we did not know about Jianlu's invasion in advance. We only had an approximate time. Instead, Jianlu used spies to break the city many times.

So I thought that in this case, it would be better to treat the other person in his own way. If the city is destroyed, we can also arrange for detailed operations in the city, which can transmit information to the court and cooperate with the inside and outside in the war. "

Lu Guangguo suddenly realized that he actually knew that Yang Yishan had sent a spy to Jianlu, but he didn't know who it was.It's just that it's not easy to mention this matter to Yang Lian, so he can only nodded and agreed.

Shenyang City has not stopped since the first day of the new year. After the reward money was distributed, everyone became motivated and began to clean up the debris and rebuild the fence. It was a loss of many people, otherwise it would not be possible to clean up.

I just didn't expect Nurhachi to come so quickly. By night, after three days and three nights of working day and night, the fence had been built to the fifth floor.Seeing this, He Shixian felt that it was not yet safe, and the city walls and fence platforms were filled with various firearms, rolling stones, kerosene and other facilities.It seems that he will definitely fight to the death with Jianlu.

"When will the reinforcements from Hupiyi arrive? Have the messengers been sent out?"

On the night of the third day of the first lunar month, looking at the brightly lit camp in the distance, He Shixian felt a little anxious. After the afternoon meeting, he had been inspecting the defenses on the city wall without slacking off.

"Two groups were dispatched in the afternoon. They are working hard. They must have arrived by now."

Indeed, the messenger from Shenyang has now arrived at Hupiyi. In front of the generals, he reports the situation to Chen Ce and asks for support.

"Mr. Chen, before I came here, Mr. He repeatedly warned me that I would lead an army of [-] to attack. Shenyang was attacked again on New Year's Eve. Many of the fences outside the city were damaged, so it was difficult to defend the city. Please hurry up." Send troops to help.”

There have been five or six groups of messengers coming from Shenyang to Liaoyang in the past few days. Chen Ce knew about the attack in Shenyang, but when Nurhachi led his troops here, this was the first time he knew about it.

Sure enough, as soon as the messenger's words came out, the generals of the various battalions in the main hall immediately whispered to each other and talked a lot. At this time, Wu Jing Battalion Staff General Zhu Wanliang immediately stood up and spoke.

"Master General, there are 5 old slaves, and our Hupiyi soldiers are only a little over [-] in total. If we ask for help rashly, we will easily be surrounded by the captives. When the time comes, there will be more captives and fewer of our troops. How can we resist?" Pass."

"That's true. In my opinion, it's not too late to wait for Governor Xiong to lead his army and then follow the army to Shenyang, or to wait for the Fengjibao army to arrive and then march together."

The person who spoke was Jiang Bi, the general of Weining Camp.

But when they said this, the messenger immediately panicked and said to Chen Ce:
"No, it will take at least four or five days to wait for Liaoyang to mobilize a large army for support. I'm afraid it will be too late by then. General He said that Yang Qinqi was also in Shenyang and vowed to live and die with Shenyang. The emperor trusted him extremely. If he makes any mistakes, Your Majesty will be in trouble if he blames him."

As soon as he said this, Chen Ce also hesitated. He knew that Yang Lian was the backbone of Donglin. If Cheng Po was killed because he couldn't save him, then he would just wait for the civil servants to kill him.

Upon hearing Yang Lian, not only Chen Ce hesitated, but Zhou Dunji, Qin Bangping and others also became anxious.

That day at Hupiyi, Yang Lian had a good time with everyone. They had a great impression of Yang Qin, and naturally they didn't want anything to happen to Yang Lian.

Besides, they already had objections to Zhu Wanliang and Jiang Bi, and they even scorned their Wujing Camp and Weining Camp. They did not do training on weekdays, and spent all day sneaking around. They were timid and afraid of death and did not dare to fight. It was really It's a wasted life.

Now I heard that the two people said that they did not dare to go to support them, and I couldn't bear it immediately, so I immediately responded with words.
