On the same day, Jinzhou City, the general army Yamen.

In front of a huge map of Liaodong, a gray-haired brocade guard was making a pre-war intelligence report.

"According to Jinyiwei's secret agent intelligence, this time Houjin attacked the Tiger Squatting Rabbit Department, and a total of more than 60,000 troops were dispatched, including more than 45,000 people from the Eight Banners Army, more than 10,000 people from the Mongolian Departments, and tens of thousands of Kha Coats, transporting baggage, robbing property, and almost no combat power."

"Then there were more than 15,000 people of the Eight Banners Army left behind by Jin, stationed in Shenyang, Liaoyang, Hetuara and other 30 cities."

"Among them, the Guangning garrison was originally five Niu Lu, and when Jin advanced westward, five Niu Lu were left in case of contingency, and there are ten Niu Lu, more than 3,000 people."

Hearing this, Man Gui heard the words and nodded secretly.

"The Art of War" says: "Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to divide it into multiple times." ’

Man Gui led 30,000 people against 3,000 Houjin, and the siege battle should not be a big problem.

"The middle route army went to Liaoyang, it needs to pass through Xiping Fort, Xiping Fort stops at two Niulu 600 people, and there are also six small forts along the way, such as Wenyang Fort, Pingyang Bridge Fort, Shaling Fort, Changning Fort, etc., each fort garrison is different, but there are less than 100 people."

"Liaoyang was originally the capital of the Jurchens, with a slightly more garrison, more than 2,000 people for seven Niulu."

"In addition, in the north of Liaoyang, the capital of Houjin Shengjing, there are more than 5,000 garrisons, and there are also more than 600 garrisons in Nanhai Prefecture, Liaoyang, which are two days away from Liaoyang."

After the brocade guard reported, he arched his hand at Zhu Youzhen.

"Shi Tongzhi did a good job, go back and tell the brothers in the Intelligence Department that I remember their merits, and after this battle, I will be rewarded when I go back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The brocade guard knelt on one knee, bowed, and then hidden.

"The information is already clear, and the generals will obey the order!"

The generals all sang when they heard this.

"Ningyuan's general army Mangui listened to the order, and ordered you to lead an army of 30,000, and artillery and other siege equipment, two days later to go to Guangning, this battle you need two days to go down to Guangning, and then garrison for at least seven days, and wait for Huang Taiji to lead the army back to help destroy the city and evacuate."

"On the day of the garrison, I ordered the people in the city to withdraw to the front line of Ningyuan, and before evacuating, set fire to the city."

"In addition, when you go to the city of Guangning, you can play the banner of me, and order a person to pretend to be me, and let me go to the emperor to drive the expedition in person, and cut off the road behind the emperor's Taiji."

"My general's order, do you know it?"

"No!"

Man Gui knelt on one knee and hugged his fists in promise.

"Jinzhou Chief Soldier Zu Dashou listens to orders!"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he stepped forward and hugged his fists.

"I ordered you to lead Guanning to ride 10,000 iron horses, one person and two horses, and follow me to attack Liaoyang, and set off with the whole army after noon tonight."

"Do you know my military orders?"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he was like five thunderbolts, and he was in place at that time.

But before he could react, a figure fell to the ground first.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done."

Yuan Keli knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, imploring Zhu Youzhen to change his mind.

Then all the generals knelt on the ground and asked Zhu Youzhen to take back his life.

"This matter has been decided and cannot be changed, so you don't need to persuade you anymore."

"Your Majesty, before coming, Yuanfu, Ge Lao, Ministry and many other adults, ordered the ministers to persuade Your Majesty not to go out of the customs, and the ministers also promised you that they will fight for this old life and immediately prevent Your Majesty from leaving the customs, is Your Majesty's move to the life of the old minister?"

Seeing that he couldn't be dissuaded, Yuan Keli began to play single.

"I have said, the person who can take my life has not yet been born, and you Yuan Butang's life, I don't want it, I advise Yuan Butang to be sure to put state affairs first, don't force me, keep this useful body, guard Shanhaiguan for me, and when I really encounter an accident, you will die again."

Zhu Youzhen's two sentences stuffed Yuan Keli's thought of forcing him to die back into his mind.

When Yuan Keli heard this, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

But Zhu Youzhen has talked about this, and Yuan Keli has no choice, so he can't really die here.

And he really died here, whether Zhu Youzhen will no longer go out of the customs, Yuan Keli also has no bottom in his heart.

Singles vs. singles, Yuan Keli, as an orthodox scholar, is not as single as Zhu Youzhen.

At this time, Yuan Keli could only pray that Zhu Youzhen would come back safely, otherwise, he would really die to thank the world.

"Chief Soldier Zu, Luo Qianhu, be sure to keep Your Majesty safe, if not, the princes of the court will kill you and the whole family to thank the world."

Yuan Ke immediately saw that he couldn't stop Zhu Youzhen, so he could only talk ruthlessly to Zu Dashou and Luo Yangxing.

At this time, the military attache was inherently inferior to the civilian officials, and it was the first and second rank officials who let them speak, which frightened the two of them and sang on the ground.

"The ministers swear to the death to keep Your Majesty safe!"

Zhu Youzhen saw that the two of them looked nervous, and suddenly felt a little funny, so he patted the shoulders of the two.

"Relax, wait until you get to Liaoyang, and I'll wait for a way to break the enemy."

------

In the middle of the night that day, Zu Dashou ordered 10,000 Guanning iron horsemen, and Zhu Youzhen brought 2,000 gold guards and 500 brocade guards, and went out of the city at night.

When the sky in the east is slightly bright, everyone has arrived in front of the Daling River, and after crossing this river, it is the Houjin realm.

At this time, it is winter, the flow of the Daling River is gentle, looking for a shoal, everyone crosses the river.

After crossing the river, a handsome young man rode forward.

"Dashuai, I am willing to be a pioneer, open the way for Your Majesty in the mountains and build bridges in the water."

Zhu Youzhen saw the handsomeness of this young general, so he praised it curiously.

"Haha, thanks to Your Majesty's wrong love, this is the nephew of the last general, surnamed Wu, and named Sangui."

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he almost turned over and fell off the horse, Wu Sangui, a famous traitor in history, was so handsome.

In Zhu Youzhen's original era, Wu Sangui had a high probability of making his debut.

Zhu Youzhen stabilized his mind, and felt that Wu Sangui, as a well-known historical figure, should have a good life, and it is estimated that he will not be hung up hastily, and it seems that he will have a better chance of winning if he is a pioneer.

In addition, with Wu Sangui as the pioneer, Zu Dashou should not abandon his nephew and be the long-legged general.

"Okay, since he is Zu Shuai's nephew, he must be the son of the general, so let's take this young general as my vanguard."

When the young general heard this, he was overjoyed, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down to receive his order.

Zhu Youzhen explained a few more words to the young general, and when the young general heard this, he said yes.

Subsequently, Wu Sangui ordered 3,000 soldiers and left the Chinese army.

It is said to be the vanguard, because Zhu Youzhen wants to win with speed this time, but in fact, the vanguard is two hours earlier than the Chinese army.

Of course, two hours, if there is an accident, it is enough for Zhu Youzhen to retreat.

Subsequently, the Chinese army rested in place for two hours, while Wu Sangui led the vanguard to Wenyang Fort.

Wenyang Fort is a small fort closest to the Ming Dynasty in Houjin, only for early warning purposes, there are only more than 30 people in the Eight Banners Army, and there are 50 clothes in Aha.

In order to avoid startling the snakes, Wu Sangui only sent more than 50 horsemen to feign an attack after the cavalry of the hidden brigade, so as to cover the eyes and ears of the soldiers in the fort and confuse their judgment.

Sure enough, the garrison in the fort saw that there were fewer Ming troops, and they didn't know the intentions of the Ming army for a while, and between hesitations, the Ming army had entered the front of the fort.

Thirty against fifty, the Houjin defenders felt that they had a great chance of winning, so they gathered their soldiers and prepared to go out of the fort for a battle.

As soon as he opened the gate of the fort and lined up out of the fort, he saw a Ming army waving a flag.

Then I listened to the horses' hooves, raised my eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the smoke and dust billowing out, and the team of people and horses rushed straight to Wenyang Fort.

The Houjin defenders secretly called Zhongji, and they didn't care about returning to the fort, so they wanted to take the road and escape, but at this time, the back road had been cut off by the more than 50 Ming troops.

There was an obstacle in front and a pursuit in the back, and the Houjin army didn't think about it, so they rushed towards the more than 50 Ming troops, trying to fight their way out of the blood.

But when he saw the more than 50 Ming troops, he did not panic at all, and under the command of a hundred household officials, he raised the thing in his hand with one or three eyes.

After that, Jin Jun's secret path was not good, but at this time, the horse had started to accelerate, and it was not easy to turn the horse's head.

In a hurry, I listened to three "put!" Put! Put! ”

Three violent sounds followed, and the battlefield was instantly filled with gunsmoke.

When the smoke cleared, the more than 20 Houjin soldiers were already a blur of flesh and blood, and the corpses were all over.

Seeing this tragic situation, the remaining Houjin soldiers in the fort felt that the general situation had gone, so they opened the gate of the fort and asked for surrender.

"Your Majesty's plan is very good, without spending a single soldier, you will go to the next fort, Your Majesty is really a god."

The first battle was won, and Wu Sangui was overjoyed.

The fifty sergeants who had tempted the enemy before were selected by Zhu Youzhen from the Shenji Battalion, and the Three-Eyed Fire Gun was also selected by the Ministry of Works, and the quality and quantity were absolutely guaranteed.

And Zhu Youzhen's purpose in forming such a team was to defraud the small forts along the way.

With this strategy, Wu Sangui connected four small forts, including Pingyangqiao Fort, Shaling Fort, and Changning Fort, until he reached Xiping Fort.
