Liaoyang, the north corner of the city.

"The slave soldiers went to Shenyang."

General Wang Song put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, sighed and said: "The imperial court shouldn't say that Suwen River is a great victory, now it's okay, it will be known by Jiannu." ”

"What's this?"

Cao Wenzhao is also a general now, but unlike the one in front of him, he is the confidant and favorite general of Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong Jingluo.

Although he is also a general, Wang Song also knows that Cao Wenzhao is brave and good at fighting, and his future in the future is by no means comparable to himself.

He glanced back and didn't say anything.

"This Liaodong has long been infiltrated into a sieve by Jiannu, even if the imperial court does not report the success of the first nine sides, the slave chieftain will know sooner or later."

"Reporting victory in advance can also stabilize people's hearts and boost morale."

Wang Song was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this.

After Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, he took out the map he carried with him with one hand, and then thought about the news he got from his subordinates last night, sighed in his heart, and said:

"This time is by no means the past, Jiannu is here to fight hard, not to attack the city, it is said that the slave chieftain is ready to capture Shenyang and move the capital."

Wang Song was surprised and said:

"Moving the capital? Jiannu is crazy..."

"Except for Man Gui, I'm afraid that no one can take on this task and resist the Jiannu soldiers."

Cao Wenzhao looked in the direction of Shenyang, thinking in his heart whether to send troops to attack Jiannu to relieve the pressure on the defenders of Shenyang.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi and others also rushed over, and Cao Wenzhao immediately greeted him and asked, "Taitai, can Man Gui stop it?" ”

The situation in Shenyang is clear only to them.

Xue Laiyin and others also had a look of worry written on their faces, Shenyang is an important town in eastern Liaoning, and in the past three years, Daming and Houjin have surrounded Shenyang and have done many battles.

Shenyang was captured twice by Jiannu and recaptured twice by the Ming army.

After several repetitions, the city has long been dilapidated, and the people in it have either fled with their families, or have been harassed and plundered by slave soldiers, and should have given up a long time ago.

But Xiong Tingbi had to hold Shenyang no matter what, and even did not hesitate to be attacked by the courtiers, impeached for the officials, and asked the court for silver and the people to enrich the city defense of Shenyang.

Fortunately, the emperor Shengming, Qiangang was arbitrary, and he strongly advocated the maintenance of Liaoshen.

Why Xiong Tingbi did this, those civil officials who are above the Beijing Imperial Court and high above will not understand, only these generals know best.

If Shenyang falls, it is only a matter of time before Liaoyang is captured, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on for half a year, and at that time, the entire Liaoshen Plain will fall in a very short time!

The so-called Liaodong is only the first line of Songjin in Guangning......

Cao Wenzhao admired Xiong Tingbi very much, he and Xue Laiyin, the general soldier of Datong to aid Liao, had only met a few times, and they both had their own tasks when they were in Liaoyang, and they didn't meet much.

Xiong Tingbi pressed one hand on the city bricks, thinking about things and thinking about things.

Xue Laiyin thought about it, frowned, and said:

"Difficult."

Although the city of Shenyang is large, there are few residents and defenders, and the battlements have been repaired several times, and they are no longer as solid as they were at the beginning.

In addition, the Houjin army has been attacking the city in Liaodong for many years, and has a set of siege methods, which is no longer a matter of ability, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

Replace Man Gui, Shenyang may fall faster.

Man Gui's ability, even Xiong Tingbi recognized it, otherwise he would not have let him guard Shenyang, the frontier powerhouse.

The problem now is that Houjin is anxious that after hearing about the Horqin fiasco, reinforcements will not come to Liaodong in a short time.

If they used their weapons to attack the city with all their might, regardless of the cost of casualties, the current Shenyang City would not be able to hold it for even three days.

Xiong Tingbi usually doesn't talk much, but he is very quintessential.

He stood on the corner tower and watched for a long time, then looked down at the map marked by Cao Wenzhao, and said: "If my expectations are good, the slave soldiers will have a large army all the way to my Liaoyang." ”

"The area around Shenyang is mountainous and river-wide, the terrain is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a huge disparity between the number of defenders and slave soldiers, and now they can only hold on."

"But the area around Liaoyang is all plains, and the slave army is divided into troops, and our army is stationed in one place, and the walls are clear, which will only allow the slave soldiers to take advantage of the weakness and make trouble on all sides."

"Spread my military order, and ordered the cities, forts, towns, and offices around Liaoyang to be divided into pieces, take turns to enter and exit, and swirl to attack, so that the southern slave soldiers do not know the depths."

"The slave army will not dare to go deep alone, which buys time for the tripartite attack."

Xiong Tingbi's final strategy is a three-way attack.

The so-called tripartite joint attack is Xiong Tingbi's strategic intention to join forces with Sun Chengzong of Guangning, Kim Jingrui of Korea, and Zhu Xieyuan of Fuyu to join forces in Liaoshen.

A joint attack by the three parties cannot be done without the efforts of any of them, and the attitude of the DPRK is the most important thing.

As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea does not expect them to win the war this time, as long as the formation is large enough and cooperates with Mao Wenlong and the sailors of Denglai and Tianjin Port, it will be enough to succeed.

"Is there any news of Mao Wenlong?"

Cao Wenzhao sneered and said:

"Back in Taiwan, Mao Wenlong had a quarrel with Jin Jingrui, the marshal of the Eight Provinces of Korea, in Yizhou, and he didn't care about the date we set, and went to the Kuandian area five days ago."

Xue Laiyin said: "Taitai, the Dongjiang Army Songshan cannot afford to lose, their position is behind Jiannu, do we want to supervise Jin Jingrui?" ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, Daming has to protect the calves, don't ask what the reason for the quarrel is, count Jin Jingrui again, and comfort the heart of the Dongjiang army is the most important thing.

When this sentence fell, Xiong Tingbi's expression directly became a little wrong, and he said:

"If you don't know, check it!"

"Whoever does this wrong, we have to help whom, besides, at this very moment, the strength of the North Korean Eight Provinces is very important, and we can't chill their hearts."

"Mao Wenlong sent troops without authorization, and military law is unforgiving, and after this battle, the governor personally went to ask him why he didn't obey the military order!"

......

Mao Wenlong didn't know what kind of conflict he had with Jin Jingrui in Yizhou, North Korea, which had been said to be good at sending troops, had no movement, and Mao Wenlong also sent troops a few days in advance, which completely disrupted Xiong Tingbi's deployment.

Because of the importance of this matter, Xiong Tingbi wrote a rush on the evening of the same day, telling people to hurry up and show the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said that there should be no room for loss for a moment.

Due to the distance, when Zhu Youxiao, who was in Xinuan Pavilion, received Xiong Tingbi's urgent recital, it was already a day later.

This urgent song is very comprehensive, and Xiong Tingbi lists his deployment and worries about this battle, as well as the current changes.

In the end, a series of demands were made to the imperial court.

Xiong Tingbi had already made a three-way joint attack deployment half a month ago, and he first discussed with Zhu Xieyuan and decided on an approximate time for the joint attack.

Then for Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou of Guangning, as well as Kim Kyung-rui, the marshal of the Eight Provinces of Korea, and Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang, a strict joint dispatch time was designated.

Xiong Tingbi also stressed on several occasions that the implementation of the tripartite joint attack strategy must contact the DPRK, and he had already sent a messenger to Kim Kyung-rui, telling him to send troops on a regular basis.

Due to the accident caused by Mao Wenlong, the DPRK did not send troops to assist at the agreed time, which greatly increased the pressure on Liaoshen.

Xiong Tingbi recommended Liang Zhiyuan, the deputy envoy of the prison army, as the minister of the Qincha, saying that he grew up in the seaside and was familiar with the language and culture of North Korea, so he could take on important tasks.

Zhu Youxiao naturally has nothing to say, and all of them are quasi-played.

Xiong Tingbi's tripartite arrangement, which was asked for his own instructions in advance, Xiong Tingbi ordered North Korea to send troops to assist with a letter of state, and North Korea actually released pigeons.

It seems that if they don't send a minister over, they don't know Daming's attitude in this matter!
