Judging from his heart, Emperor Zhu's "fortress tactics" are still used well. Compared with the bald head who "advanced the fortress and fought step by step", and the Zeng shaved head who "hardened the village and fought in a daze", it was not bad.

But the problem is that he meets Dolgon, who is a master of athletic warfare!

The commander of the Qing army for the fourth time in history was Dolgon! This guy slipped all the way from the northeast to Shandong, burned and looted all the way, slaughtered countless cities, and he did the crime of the massacre of Jinan! That time, he entered the pass in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and only swaggered away in the twelfth year, and obtained as many as 462,300 people and animals, which was the most plundered in the five battles before the whole gang entered the customs in the first year of Shunzhi......

Zhu Cihong's "hard village stupid battle" met Dolgon, a master of sports warfare, and it was normal to not play much.

Of course...... This does not mean that the way of "hard and stupid" is wrong, but that the village is not hard enough and there are not enough fortresses.

In a word, not enough investment!

After all, Zhu Cihong has not been cleaning up the southeast for a long time, less than four years, and it is not easy to get to the point where he is now.

Liaocheng was on the line, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zuo Maodi, Huang Degong, Li Shiyuan, Li Chengdong, Hao Shaoqi, Wang Qi, Yan Yingyuan and others had already been ordered to arrive, and the military discussion immediately began.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the southern front army of the Eastern Captives is empty...... No matter how much you go this way, you can't cross the Huai River! Even if the Huai River can freeze, no one dares to walk on it! Moreover, we still have two divisions available in Fengyang Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, and there are still many infantry regiments stationed in various places along the Huai, which is not empty. ”

Huang Degong put forward the opposite view of Li Yan at the military meeting, although the Qing army still occupied one of his counties, but he was not in a hurry at all.

He paused, and then said, "The minister thinks that the real target of Dongyu is still Jinan Mansion!" Because the purpose of the war between Donglu and us is to occupy Shandong...... In particular, Jinan, Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou in Shandong. Only by occupying these four state capitals can their hometowns outside the customs be stable, and the Tianjin Wei Gate can be stable. ”

"What Mr. Huang said is extremely true!" Gao Hongtu also agreed with Huang Degong's view, "The military newspaper sent by the Jinan government said that the Dongyu army was different from the past, and did not use it to loot money and people, and the fortress it passed through was only to extort some grain and grass supplies, obviously trying to win the hearts and minds of the people...... Therefore, the minister felt that the people who were plotting in the east were the land and people, not gold and silver treasures. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also means that the one who is plotting in the East is still the land of Shandong." Zuo Maodi said, "Although Jinan is the capital of Shandong, the city is in disrepair, and there are not many defenders. If Jinan is lost, the banks of the Daqing River may not be state-owned, and Qingzhou Mansion will also become the front line and be ravaged by the Eastern Captives! ”

It seems like...... Reasonable!

Zhu Cihong looked at Shi Kefa again, Shi Kefa has always been inaccurate in military affairs, and he can be used as a reverse indicator!

"Your Majesty," Shi Kefa pondered, "the minister thinks that the north and south roads of the Eastern Captives are empty, and that the real purpose of the Eastern Captives is to disperse the forces of our army in order to fight a decisive battle with me and recapture Liaocheng." ”

It's, right?

Zhu Cihong thought in his heart, his face was still silent.

"Your Majesty," Yan Yingyuan said at this time, "Xuzhou must not be ignored, Jinan must not be saved, and Liaocheng is even more stubborn!" ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at him: "Yan Qing, do we have so many troops available?" ”

"Your Majesty," Yan Yingyuan said, "At least one of the two route armies in the north and south of the Eastern Captives is virtual, and they can play virtual, why can't we be virtual?" ”

Oh, yes! Zhu Cihong smiled, virtual and real, I like it the most!

Yan Yingyuan continued: "The minister suggested that His Majesty personally lead the troops to the south to relieve the south, and the military division should lead the troops to save Xuzhou, and then leave His Majesty's banner in Liaocheng. ”

"Divide the forces into three?" Zhu Cihong frowned, "Isn't it too scattered?" ”

Yan Yingyuan said: "Jinan is close to Mount Tai, Your Majesty does not have to enter the city, nor does he have to fight with Dongyu, as long as he occupies a dangerous place in the mountains, first find out the reality of the opponent, and then make a decision."

As for the direction of Xuhai, the army division can mobilize the two divisions stationed in Fengyang and Nanjing to go north, and press the east with the strength of the three divisions. ”

Zhu Cihong pondered: "It's a way!" ”

......

North Naoli, the city of the daimyo.

The Qing Emperor Amadolgon had already led his main force at this time and secretly transferred from Zhengzhou to here!

The reason why it is "secret" is because the true movements of Dolgon and his main forces are now the highest-level military secrets of the Qing Empire.

On the one hand, Shangqiu, the city of Guidefu, has become an open "Emperor Ama Xing". All the pieces that need to be approved by Huang Ama will be sent to Shangqiu by 600 li by expedited courier. And all the emperor's edicts were also issued by Shangqiu Xing.

On the other hand, the Daimyo Mansion, the Guide Mansion and the Kaifeng Mansion all implemented martial law after the fall of Liaocheng. The horse team of the Green Flag controls the main passages and intersections of the three provinces, and no one is allowed to pass without the token where the Emperor Ama is located.

In addition, the city of the Daimyo, where Dorgon was located, became the most heavily guarded place. The gates of the Daimyo are all controlled by the guards of the white flag, and without Dorgon's orders, not a single fly will try to fly in or out!

And in the border area between the Daimyo's Mansion and Dongchang Mansion, there are also horse teams with green flags patrolling day and night, and the blockade is tight.

The above measures have temporarily rendered the Central Plains intelligence network that the Ming Jinyiwei worked so hard to lay out temporarily lose its effect.

Intelligence can still be gathered...... The Qing Emperor merchant Jabus is now following Dolgon to the Daimyo!

But he couldn't send out the information he got - there was no telegram or network these days, and he had to rely on secret envoys to transmit some confidential information. But now it's hard for even a fly to fly out of the Daimyo's Mansion City, let alone a secret envoy?

While Dolgon hid himself, his eyes widened, and he kept an eye on Zhu Cihong's movements.

"Huang Ama, Zhu Cihong is still in Liaocheng and has not moved!"

From a heavily guarded mansion in the Daimyo Castle, Sukh Saha reports to Dorgon what he has just discovered.

"It's calm!" Dorgon smiled and nodded.

Sukh Saha said, "But he still divided his troops and went south. ”

"Xu Hai is his back road, and it is impossible to ignore it...... It should have been divided into a division to go south. Dolgon thought for a moment, "But Mandahai is the commander of our Qing Dynasty, so there will be no problems." ”

The task he assigned to Mandahai was to run in a circle, so he didn't have much to worry about.

"What about Jinan?" Dolgon asked about the situation in Jinan.

"Huang Ama," Fan Wencheng took over the question, "the news of Boluo has not yet arrived, but our Jinan Prefect Yamen (stationed in Dezhou) reported that the regimental training in the Daqing River and Tuhe area has converged a lot, and it seems that they already know that they are afraid." ”

Dorgon smiled and slapped his face: "It seems that Bolo's side is going well." ”

He thought for a moment, "It's time for us to move....... Go East! ”

Sukh Saha asked, "Is it to talk about the city?" ”

"Don't fight," Dolgon waved his hand, "Zhu Cihong has at least two divisions of the New Army by his side, plus the troops of Shandong and Huaibei, there are seventy or eighty thousand people!" There is still a strong city to rely on, even if we can win, there are too many casualties, it is not worth it. ”

Now Zhu Cihong's problem is that there are few horses, and Dolgon's problem is that there are few people. Therefore, he will not fight a battle of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 5,000 himself.

Besides, if Zhu Cihong had 70,000 or 80,000 people guarding Liaocheng, he would not be sure of winning.

"It would be nice if I could kill Zhu Cihong." Sukh Saha muttered.

Dolgon smiled, "Where is it so easy to kill...... It's not the first time this kid has been on the battlefield, it's very slippery, so let's not expect that. ”

"So where are we going to fight?"

"Hit ......," Dorgon waved his hand, "Say it again!" There's always somewhere to go...... But the important thing at the moment is to move, we must lure the Ming army out of Liaocheng, as long as they move, we will have a chance! ”
