I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 516 Send troops to Fushun
Liaoyang is not far from Shenyang.

Coupled with the work-for-relief program last year, Liaodong Dusi repaired all the roads north of Liaoyang, which made the speed of Jingying even faster.

It only took two days for Chen Liangbi, Heshun, You Shigong and others to arrive at Shenyang Guard first.

He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, also received the news early and came to greet them and led them to the garrison mansion for discussion.

"Governor Chen, according to the information we have found so far, Lao Nu has sent Huang Taiji to Kaiyuan, Amin to Tieling, and Yue Tuo to the old city of Hetuala. Although Mang Gurtai and Daishan stayed in Sarhu, Lao Nu Soon Mang Gurtai was sent to Fushun.

These people are all the trusted descendants of the old slave. They are assigned to various places in this way. It seems that they want to urge each place to fight quickly and prevent our army from intruding. "

According to Xiong Tingbi's arrangement, Chen Liangbi was the main troop dispatcher this time, supplemented by the generals from the Beijing camp, He Shixian and You Shigong.

It's just that Chen Liangbi was very self-aware and knew that he came from afar and didn't understand the situation on the Liaoshen front line.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Shenyang, he had a very good attitude towards He Shixian and asked He Shixian to introduce the current situation.Now after hearing He Shixian's introduction, Chen Liangbi closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, he slowly said:
"Did these flag owners take away the elites of their respective flags? I also heard that some Han soldiers wanted to surrender. I don't know where the Han soldiers are currently stationed. Can we contact them?"

As soon as He Shixian heard this, he knew that Chen Liangbi was on to something. This information was also the focus of his investigation during this period.

When he saw this, he stood up slowly, walked to the huge map of Liaoshen behind him, and pointed it out to Chen Liangbi.

"Among the Eight Banners in Manchuria, only Amin's Xianglan Banner followed Amin to Tieling City. This is the first big city our army faces when heading north, and it is also the only way for Jianlu to connect Horqin and Nei Khalka.

In addition, Zhengbai Banner also followed Huang Taiji northward to Kaiyuan. However, Zhengbai Banner was defeated by the Beijing camp some time ago and returned with great losses. There were only about 1000 people who followed Huang Taiji back, so it was not a concern.

The remaining Six Banners were stationed in Sarhu City and were not taken away by their respective banner owners, especially the Han army.It's just that Jianlu is now heavily guarded and there are many wanderers. Since the news was sent out, our Jinyiwei spies have lost contact. "

As soon as Chen Liangbi heard this, he knew it was not easy to fight.Nurhaci had sent all his main forces to Sarhu City, just because he was afraid of the Ming army's attack, not to mention that he couldn't even contact the Jinyiwei spies now.

"The Han army is all in Saarhu City. If we want to coordinate with them, shouldn't we also attack Saarhu City? Isn't this a bit hasty? It's better to ask the Han army not to act rashly. We can march to Tieling first and break it off." Wouldn’t the loss to it be greater due to its connection with Mongolia?”

As soon as He Shixian finished his analysis, Tan Mian, the commander-in-chief of the Yaowu Army, shook his head. He felt that this battle was not easy to fight, and he immediately objected.

If you really want to coordinate the Han army, you have to go head-to-head with Jianlu.Although he is not afraid of going to the battlefield, it is really irrational to send troops hastily. It is better to avoid the edge than to do so.

However, as soon as Tan Mian finished speaking, He Shixian immediately disagreed. However, You Shigong on the side knew that He Shixian had a bad temper and was afraid that He Shixian would talk nonsense, so he immediately said:

"General Tan's words make sense, but the situation on the Liaoshen front line is more complicated. First, although Tieling has fewer troops, it is 170 miles away from Shenyang and 120 miles away from Yilu, the northernmost station of our army.

Saarhu is only 110 miles away from Shenyang, and Fushun, the barrier to Saarhu, is only [-] miles away.Moreover, Puhe Station, the forefront of our army in the east, is closer to these two places. It is forty miles away from Fushun and only seventy miles away from Shenyang. "

In comparison, Tan Mian remained silent.

Although the distance between these two places and Shenyang is only fifty or sixty miles, the actual fighting is very different.

The roads in Liaodong are now muddy, which has a great impact on the marching speed.If we attack Tieling, it is not worth the loss and time.Besides, if the army marches towards Tieling, then Nurhaci will be in trouble if he goes south along the Hun River and attacks Shenyang.

Everyone present was a military officer. They might not be good at running a country, but they were all good at fighting. Naturally, they understood the risks in both places.

Chen Liangbi was even more like this. He stood up slowly after hearing the words, and then walked to the map. After looking at it for a while, he turned to look at He Shixian.

"What General You said makes sense. If we attack Tieling, Fushun and Sarhu will also make me wait. Besides, our purpose of sending troops this time is to rescue the Liao people and coordinate the Han army. If we directly attack Tieling, It doesn't fit in with our plan.

Therefore, I suggested that the army march eastward and attack Fushun.As long as Fushun is captured, the Fushun Great Wall fortresses can be used to defend against sneak attacks by the Japanese invaders.Moreover, Fushun is very close to Saarhu. If we capture this city, we can overlook Saarhu, so that the slaves will not dare to divide their troops anymore. "

He Shixian and You Shigong nodded repeatedly when they heard this. What Chen Liangbi said was very reasonable. This was what they thought in their hearts.

"Governor Chen is absolutely right. As long as Fushun is captured, we will have the final say whether we attack Tieling or Sarhu City in the future. We also made Nurhaci dare not act rashly. If we contact the Han army, we can even By supporting each other, we can accomplish multiple things with one stone.”

Seeing that He Shixian and others agreed, Chen Liangbi didn't waste any time and immediately started discussing the details with everyone.

Attacking Fushun was Xiong Tingbi's previous plan, and now he just had to copy it, so the details were quickly agreed upon.In the end, it was decided to use the 4-man Beijing Camp as the main force, the 4000-man Heshun "Haixi Camp" and the 3000-man cavalry battalion of Puhebao General He Xiong as the vanguard. They would use Puhe as a stronghold and drive directly to Fushun.

You Shigong was based in Shenyang, with a total of 5 soldiers and horses at Fengji Fort and Hupi Station, responsible for the mobilization of grain, grass and weapons.

He Shixian also stood still, and only led the officers and soldiers of his battalion and Chen Ce and other Sichuan soldiers, a total of 3 people, to continue to garrison the Yilu post. On the one hand, it was convenient to test and attack Tieling and harass Amin, and on the other hand, he could receive the return of the Liao people.

Since Xiong Tingbi became the governor of Liaodong, he has been writing to the cabinet and the Ministry of War, requesting the mobilization of guest troops into Liaodong.

After more than three years of hard work, there are now about 13 troops in Liaodong, of which 8 are stationed on the Liaoshen front line.The remaining 4 people were stationed in North Korea, Dongjiang, and Liaoyang.

And now that the Beijing camp has arrived, the number of troops on the Liaoshen front has increased to 12.

This is almost twice the strength of the Eight Banners, and it is also one of the most powerful troops in the Ming Dynasty.

It was also the largest force assembled by the Ming Dynasty since the defeat of Saarhu.

Fortunately, Chen Liangbi was prepared and knew that he could no longer divide his troops and advance like Saerhu, but had to fight steadily and step by step, so he formulated a strategy of defending from the north and attacking from the east, so that there would be no difficulty in supplying.

"Everyone, although the troops were sent out this time in a bit of haste, it was mostly carried out in accordance with Governor Xiong's original strategic arrangement, so there is nothing to be strict about. Just saying that when the troops were sent out this time, the Liao people were watching like clouds. They were all watching. Consider this dispatch of troops as the imperial court's action to punish the Jianlu captives and save the Liao people. Therefore, this battle can only be won, not defeated. I hope the generals will forge ahead and not let down the expectations of the imperial court and the people."

Everyone present stood up immediately after hearing this, and shouted to Chen Liangbi:

"Impressive order!"
-
Not only the Ming army was in action, but the Jianlu Eight Banners were also in action.

After receiving the news in advance, some Liao people were in panic all day long, and hurriedly started looking for some Eight Banners nobles to donate money for refuge.Some Liao people felt that it was still unsafe in the city, so they began to sell off their belongings and wanted to go to the countryside.

But more people didn't know what to do after receiving the news. They couldn't walk or run.We can only hope that this time it may be like last March and April. As long as we hand over the remaining food at home, maybe everything will be fine.

It's just that no matter what they think, it's useless now.

There was one day left before the [-]th, and all the shops and houses of Liao people in the city had already been marked. There were more and more Eight Banners soldiers carrying armor and weapons in the city. If it weren't for the restraint of the generals, they would have started to loot as much as they wanted.

In the north of Sarhu City, there is the west courtyard of Yuetuan Mansion.

Zhang Shun looked at Zhang Anning, who was pacing back and forth, and his mood was very solemn.

Although he desperately tried to get the news to the court.

However, due to the increasingly severe situation, this news is destined to go nowhere, which means they don't know whether the imperial court will send troops to rescue them.This made it difficult for Zhang Anning and Zhang Anning to make a decision. If the imperial court did not send troops and stood idly by, what would the Liao people do? Whether Chen Liangce and Liu Xingzuo would rebel or not.

"Can we still contact the Han army? I don't know what their attitude is now."

"It's getting more and more difficult to enter the Jiefan camp. I was questioned repeatedly last time. I'm afraid I won't be able to contact you in the future, so I can only rely on their confidence. But when I reported to Chen Liangbi last time, he said Tell me categorically that if there is no news about the army, he and Liu Xingzuo will never raise an army."

When Zhang Anning heard what Zhang Shun said, she immediately became anxious. She walked up to him in a few steps, looked into his eyes and said:

"Even if I really want to slaughter the Liao people, I won't raise an army."

Seeing Zhang Anning so excited, Zhang Shun's eyes were a little impatient.This Zhang Anning usually seems very smart, why is he so restless now.

"Would you do it if it were you? Do you really think Nurhachi is a fool? Since they dare to issue a "food delivery order", they will definitely consider that the Han army will be dissatisfied. How could they not be prepared for the Han army? Now the Jiefan The camp is heavily guarded, and I guess they have been targeting the Han army for a long time.

It's just that now is the time to employ people, so I don't want to do anything to them.But if there is any change in the Han army, believe me, Nurhachi will definitely take action faster than us. "

Zhang Anning has now come to his senses and feels that Zhang Shun is right. Since Jianlu wanted to do this, he must have thought of being wary of the Han army.He couldn't help feeling helpless.
