I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 497 South of Liaoyang
In the southern part of Liao Zen, Weng Jishit tribe.

Wengjishit's tribe screamed for killings and corpses were strewn across the field, creating a broken scene.

Huang Taiji stood in the main tent of the Wengjishit tribe. When he saw the mess on the ground, he understood how hastily the tent owner was leaving.

As expected, Alzhai was unprepared. When he found out that he had arrived with a large army, he didn't even put up much resistance and fled with his trusted followers.

"Sibeile, Alzhai ran towards Liaoyang. I asked for orders to lead the army to chase him and see if we can catch him back. As long as we capture him, Wengjishit's troops will not be able to make any big waves in the future."

When Horqin's Oba Hongtaiji saw him running away, he immediately asked for troops to hunt him down.

Arzhai is now the backbone of the Ongjit Tribe. As long as he does not die, the Ongjit Tribe will revive, so this person must not be retained.

"There's no rush. The movements of the Ming army's Beijing camp are still unknown. Let's see their movements first before making any plans. Don't make any moves now."

Huang Taiji heard this and waved his hand to tell Oba Hong not to move lightly. The most important thing now is to grasp the movements of the Ming army.

On the way here, he told Horqin and the Zhongtaiji of the Bahrain Department in detail about the Ming army's Beijing camp.

Unexpectedly, these Mongolian Taiji immediately agreed to his plan not to attack Liaozuo but only to attack Inner Khalkha.In their opinion, although there is not much profit in attacking the Wengjishit Division, to make money, you have to spend your life.

The Ming army is hoarding the Liaozuo. Now attacking the Liaozuo is asking for death. It would be more cost-effective to only attack the Wengjishit tribe.

Huang Taiji was determined after hearing this, so he went straight to Weng Ji's special tribe, and at the same time sent people to Liaozuo, hoping to secretly contact Sun Degong and others and grasp the detailed movements of the Beijing camp.

Seeing that Huang Taiji refused the invitation, Oba Hongtaiji was not angry. He immediately turned around and left.Since we don't want to pursue him, we might as well lead his men and gather the Ongjit Tribe and the cattle and sheep, so as not to be robbed by the Bahrain Tribe.

Seeing him leaving, Huang Taiji also turned and looked in the direction of Liaozuo.

Although the troops sent out this time had some results, he was still unwilling to do so.

The original purpose of this battle was to invade the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and put pressure on them, thereby forcing them to negotiate peace.

But now Liaozuo can't fight. According to the date, the Ming Army's Beijing Camp is probably on its way to Liaodong, which suddenly cast a gloom on his mood.

Not to mention that it is impossible to attack the hinterland of the Ming army now, and the peace negotiation is probably not possible either.It means that the Military Beijing Camp has come to Liaodong. Looking at this situation, Liaodong will have a hard time this year.

His face darkened even more when he thought of this, and then he thought of Guozhong Grain and Grass. Not to mention this year, it was not even certain whether he could survive April or May.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Now is really the most difficult time for Daikin.However, he quickly regained his composure and turned to look at Dayinbu.

"Have the spies who went to Liaozuo returned, and have the spies sent to Liaoyang been sent out?"

"Master, the spies in the direction of Liaoyang were sent out, and they are expected to arrive in the next few days. The spies in the direction of Liaozuo were sent out when they set out, and they are expected to return today."

Huang Taiji nodded silently after hearing this. He hoped to bring him useful information.

The fighter opportunity was fleeting, and he had a hunch that if he didn't take the opportunity to attack the hinterland of the Ming army now, he would never have another chance in the future.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the camp.

The two of them looked around and saw another Jia La from Zheng Bai Banner, Zhen Shuo Dai, walking in in a hurry, holding a report in his hand, and said to Huang Taiji anxiously:
"Master Beile, report to the Liaozuo Army!"

Dayinbu's expression tightened when he saw Shuo Dai's scene.Looking at him like this, there must be no good news.

Huang Taiji snatched the memorial and looked at it, his face became more and more solemn, and Dayinbu suddenly had a bad premonition.

But I didn't expect that Huang Taiji's expression became more and more relaxed as he watched. Finally, he reported the report and gave a loud shout.

"it is good!"

Seeing Dayinbu's puzzled expression, Huang Taiji immediately explained.

"Sun Degong and others were arrested. Now the Beijing camp is stationed in Guangning and is rectifying the military affairs of Liaozuo."

Dayinbu and Shuodai were even more puzzled when they saw this. What kind of good news could this be?

But Huang Taiji ignored them and walked straight to the map on one side, calling the two of them over for discussion.

"Originally, when the Beijing camp arrived in Guangning, we did not know whether he would leave or not, so our army should not move lightly. But now that Sun Degong and others have been arrested, it is a good thing for us.

These people are all generals in charge of troops in Liaozuo. The Ming army's handling of this will definitely shake the officialdom of Liaozuo and make the military unstable. In addition, I also revealed to Sun Degong about my dispatch of troops, and the Ming army's Beijing camp will probably also be affected. This is known from their mouths.

Therefore, the Beijing camp will definitely be located in Guangning, firstly to stabilize the Beijing camp, and secondly to prevent our army from invading.Now it seems that although Liaozuo cannot be attacked, the Ming army's Beijing camp is in Liaozuo, and the main force of Liaodong is on the Shenyang front line. This actually gives us the opportunity to send troops to attack the hinterland of Liaodong. "

Huang Taiji pointed to an area on the map as he spoke.

When everyone heard the words, they were shocked. Huang Taiji was referring to the area south of Liaoyang. "Master Beile, you can't do that. Not to mention how many victories you can gain by entering this place. Just say that if you can't conquer this place for a long time, wait for the Ming army in Guangning and Shenyang to react and cut off our army's retreat. I'm afraid I want to leave at that time. It’s too late.”

Dayinbu immediately became worried after hearing this. Attacking there could certainly deter Liaoyang and frighten the Ming army. This was considered a dangerous move and extremely risky.

Shuo Dai on the side looked embarrassed, and he probably had the same idea in his mind.

"Master Beile, our army has just captured the Wengjishit tribe. There are many cattle and sheep in the tribe. It is too late to take them away now. If we attack south of Liaoyang again, it will be inconvenient to carry so many things. Please explain the Guojing camp again. Once we get the news from Sun Degong, we will definitely put people on alert along the way, and I'm afraid it will be too late."

Huang Taiji didn't understand these words, but he looked at the problem from a different perspective than Dayinbu and others. Thinking of this, he said sadly:

"How can I not know what you are saying, but you have forgotten why we sent the troops. Is it just to plunder the population of the Ongist Tribe? Can't you see what the situation in Daikin is now?"

When Huang Taiji said this, Dayinbu and Dayinbu's expressions darkened and they stopped talking.

As Jia La E Zhen of Zheng Bai Banner, they naturally know the current dilemma within Dai Jin.

"The Ming Kingdom sent the capital camp here just to keep increasing its troops and wear us out. We are now the Shu Kingdom among the Three Kingdoms, and the Ming Kingdom is just like the Wei Kingdom. Why did Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei continue their northern expedition at that time? They wanted to take the initiative to attack and seek opportunities. . Otherwise, the national power of Shu will decline and Shu will be destroyed as soon as the Wei soldiers arrive.

Now I, Daikin, have the same idea, although attacking Liaodong is extremely risky.But if we don't do this now and go back like this, then what will we do when the food and grass are exhausted in April and the Ming army arrives. "

Because Nurhaci loved to read about the Three Kingdoms and learned the art of war from it, all the generals in Jianlu had heard of the stories in it.

Now that Dayinbu and his wife heard Huang Taiji's in-depth analysis, they immediately made up their minds and leaned over and said:
"This slave is stupid and doesn't know Baylor's hard work. I also asked Baylor to give me an order. I'm determined to obey and don't dare to disobey."

Seeing that the two agreed with what he said, Huang Taiji felt reassured.

He already had a rough plan on how to attack him. Upon seeing this, he immediately gave instructions:

"Dayinbu, you immediately call Oba Hongtaiji and Seterzhutaiji to come over to discuss matters."

Upon hearing this, Dayinbu immediately leaned over to accept the order and left. As Huang Taiji spoke, he looked at Shuo Dai and continued to give instructions:
"Soldiers need to be quick and cannot delay for a moment. I will discuss with the Mongolian Taijis later. We, Horqin and Bahrain will each leave 1000 people, for a total of 3000 people to be stationed here. One will guard the Wengjishit tribe. and property, and the second is to guard the retreat and prevent being outflanked by the Ming army. This task is entrusted to you, can you take it on?"

Upon hearing this, Shuo Dai knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and immediately knelt down and said to Huang Taiji:

"Please rest assured, Lord Beile. I will fight to the death to defend this place and wait for Lord Beile to return victoriously."

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."

So when Oba Hongtaiji from Horqin, Setertaiji from Bahrain and others arrived, Huang Taiji immediately discussed the matter with them.

Originally they disagreed, but Huang Taiji analyzed with them the Ming army's lack of strength in the south of Liaoyang, and promised that if the trip took place, he would only take one-third of the looted property.

Everyone was immediately moved, and immediately nodded in agreement to express their willingness to follow him in sending troops.
-
Eighty miles south of Liaoyang, Niuzhuang Fort.

Although Niuzhuang Fort is called a fort, it is actually a city. Since it is south of Liaoyang, there has been no war. After the Battle of Saarhu, many refugees from Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places fled here to settle down, making the population here more dense. .

Last year, Yang Lian came here to inspect the farmland. He even renovated the place and gave all the land that had been invaded by the wealthy families to the landless refugees. This made the number of people in Niuzhuangbao increase. In addition, the imperial court continued to expand its operations in various parts of Liaodong. As a result of the work-for-relief program, Niuzhuangbao was less affected by the drought and became more prosperous.

But today, the crowds outside Niuzhuangbao City were surging and it was extremely lively.

After the two battalions of Yaowu Army set off from Gaizhou Guard, they arrived at Niuzhuangbao after a four-day journey. They camped here for another two days to rest and then continued their journey to Liaoyang.

"I wish General Sun Shen and General Zhao Shen will be successful in Shenyang in the future and make new contributions to the imperial court!"

In Niuzhuang Fort City, Lu Chenggong, the new guard of Niuzhuang Fort, was bidding farewell to Sun Yingyuan and others.

Seeing what Lu Chenggong said, without waiting for Sun Yingyuan to speak, Yaowu Army General Zhao Lejiao took the lead and said with a smile:
"Thank you, old Lu Jiyan. You are doing well here. You are far away from the front line and your life is free and easy. I am very envious of you."

Listening to what Zhao Shujiao said, Lu Chenggong also laughed.

Before Zhao Lijiao was transferred to the capital camp, he had met him in Liaoyang.At that time, Zhao Shujiao and himself were just guerrilla generals. The relationship between the two was still good, but they didn't expect to meet here.

But now Zhao Lijiao is already a general in the Beijing camp, and his future is unlimited, but he is still on the Liaodong garrison. It is really a world of difference.

"Hahaha, I also inherited a mess, but although my life is indeed comfortable. But who among us military officials would not want to make contributions, so I also envy you. As expected, as soon as I went to the capital camp, the sea was vast and the sky was high. Fei, if you make new achievements in the future, your future will be limitless."

Zhao Shujiao laughed when he heard this, although he knew that there was some flattery in Lu Chenggong's words.

But as a general in the Beijing camp, he also knew that Lu Chenggong's words were not false. After coming to the Beijing camp, he was indeed incomparable to before.

Whether it is military equipment, soldiers, salaries, or even future prospects, how can the emperor's own army be the same as the locals?
