Chapter 207: The First Liberation of Liaodong

After Zhu Hao left, he ordered to immediately pull out the camp and set off, and clearly required that he must arrive at Shanhaiguan before tomorrow, and with Zhu Hao's order, this team of more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in his place quickly set off.

Zhu Hao took the non-stop, 5,000 soldiers and horses in a hurry, and finally arrived at Shanhaiguan before the time, because all the soldiers and horses in Liaodong were transferred by Yuan Yingtai to guard Liaoyang, at this time in Shanhaiguan, only less than 1,000 people remained in Guanzhong, and the reception of Zhu Hao and others was the team surnamed Zhang.

After Zhu Hao just entered Shanhaiguan, he asked Zhang Qianhu in a hurry:

"Zhang Qianhu, what is the situation on the front line, and can Liaoyang still hold it? Is there any chance that Shenyang will be recaptured? ”

Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's words, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Lord Wang, how did you know about the loss of Shenyang?" ”

Saying that, Zhang Qianhu looked at Zhu Hao suspiciously, if it weren't for Zhu Hao holding the holy decree, I'm afraid Zhang Qianhu would really have doubts about Zhu Hao's identity at this moment.

Zhu Hao naturally heard Zhang Qianhu's question, he didn't want to explain anything, but in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Zhu Hao still said:

"On the way to this king, I met a post guard who entered Beijing to report the news, so I know about it!"

Zhu Hao paused as he spoke, and then continued to speak:

"Zhang Qianhu, you haven't answered the king's question yet?"

"Can this Liaoyang be defended, and can Shenyang be recaptured?"

Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's words, his face was a little embarrassed, and he hung his head very stiffly and said:

"Lord Wang, the last general is just a small thousand households, this question, the last general is really difficult to answer you!"

"If you really want to know, Lord Wang, the last general suggests that you still ask Liaodong Jingluo, Lord Yuan Yingtai Yuan!"

"Because all the military deployments in Liaodong are decided by Lord Yuan! The last general is just doing what he is told! ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he didn't get angry, but secretly sighed that he was too anxious, and he was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, indeed this matter, this one of the thousands of households left behind in Shanhaiguan, I'm afraid it is really difficult to explain clearly, so Zhu Hao took a deep breath, and then said:

"In Shanhaiguan, is there a map of Liaodong?"

Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's words and hurriedly replied:

"Lord Qiqi, the map is there, may I ask the prince do you want to see it?"

Zhu Hao nodded, and then spoke:

"Bother Zhang Qianhu, bring the military map of Liaodong to this king, this king wants to see it now!"

After listening to Zhu Hao's words, Zhang Qianhu scratched his head, and then explained:

"Lord Wang, this military map of Liaodong is in the General Military Mansion, because it is a military map, the last general can't take it out, the prince wants to see it, and please deign to the prince and go to the General Military Mansion with the last general!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's words and knew that this was the rule of the imperial court, so he didn't say anything, but nodded, and then said, "Okay!" Today, this king will borrow your general military mansion to run an office! ”

Saying that, Zhu Hao asked Xu Chu to settle the soldiers, took Wei Xiaobao, Cheng Yanjin and Guan Yu, and went to the General Military Mansion of Shanhaiguan.

After Zhu Hao and his entourage sat down in the General Military Mansion, Zhang Qianhu ordered someone to take the map, and as the map was taken, Zhu Hao saw that this map was about 1:100, and as the map was opened, the entire main hall of the General Military Mansion was covered with this map.

Zhu Hao looked at this dungeon, and after a while, he said:

"Bother Zhang Qianhu, and point out the enemy's and our forces on the map to this king!"

"At the same time, let people zoom out, draw this map on paper, and this king will take it away!"

After Zhu Hao finished speaking, Zhang Qianhu looked embarrassed, and then refused:

"Lord Wang, this is a military map, and the lower officials have no right to let the prince take the map!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's words, his face sank, his eyebrows raised, and he snorted and said:

"Then whoever can call the shots, you go and ask for instructions, this king is waiting here!"

"But this king has to tell you in advance!"

"This king is not here for sightseeing, but to rescue Liaoyang!"

"If the fighter plane is delayed because of this incident, don't blame this king for truthfully playing the court at that time!"

This Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's words, his face changed several times in an instant, and finally said with an embarrassed face:

"Your Highness, the last general is a thousand households, and he really can't be the master! Why do you bother with the last general? ”

"The last general begs the prince to raise his noble hand! Let the last general go! ”

Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's words, shook his head slightly, then waved his hand and said:

"Zhang Qianhu, it's not this king who embarrasses you!"

"It's you who embarrass the king!"

"You don't count what you said, but you are the biggest military general in this Shanhaiguan!"

"You said this, this king is not looking for you, who is this king looking for?"

Zhu Hao sighed when he said this, and said with a sympathetic look:

"So be it! Zhang Qianhu, this king is not embarrassed for you! ”

"This map doesn't need you to find someone to draw it!"

"This king finds someone to paint by himself!"

"You can mark the strength of both the enemy and the enemy for the king!"

"You're not going to refuse this king again, are you?"

Zhu Hao's retreat let Zhang Qianhu know that he had no way to shirk it, so he could only nod and agree to Zhu Hao's request.

It's just that Zhang Qianhu doesn't know that Zhu Hao, who is an acting school, has already calculated all this in his heart, and the embarrassment and sympathy just now are just Zhu Hao's expressions as a means to achieve his goal.

Zhu Hao saw that the goal was achieved, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he asked Wei Xiaobao to go to the barracks to find Xu Chu, and asked Xu Chu to find the army, find out the sergeant who was good at drawing, and come to the General Military Mansion to draw.

Wei Xiaobao immediately took the order and left, and a quarter of an hour later, Wei Xiaobao came back with Xu Chu and the two sergeants, Zhu Hao asked Zhang Qianhu to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the two sergeants, and said to Zhang Qianhu:

"Zhang Qianhu, let's start!"

When Zhang Qianhu heard this, he saluted Zhu Hao, and then said:

"Lord Wang, the last general is in a low position, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Liaodong!"

When Zhang Qianhu said this, Zhu Hao thought that Zhang Qianhu still had prevarication, and immediately his face was a little unsightly, and Zhang Qianhu also saw Zhu Hao's displeasure, and immediately continued to speak:

"Don't be angry, the last general is not prevarication!"

"The last general will tell the prince everything he knows!"

"But if it's wrong with reality, please don't blame the last general!"

Zhu Hao then understood, Zhang Qianhu was afraid of taking responsibility, so he emphasized that he didn't know much, Zhu Hao understood what Zhang Qianhu meant, so he didn't worry too much about Zhang Qianhu, a small Qianhu, but his face improved a little, and said to Zhang Qianhu:

"Good! As much as you know, tell the king as much as you want, and the king won't blame you! ”

After Zhang Qianhu finished saying Zhu Hao's words, he gave another salute, and then said:

"The last general is grateful for the prince's compassion!"

"There are about 80,000 soldiers and horses in the Eight Banners around Shenyang!"

"They are distributed in ......"

"Our army has about 1450,000 soldiers and horses"

"They are in ......"

With Zhang Qianhu's explanation, Zhu Hao probably has an understanding of the strength of the enemy and us, in fact, in terms of military strength, the Ming army is not weaker than the soldiers and horses of the Houjin at all, but the Ming army is too scattered, and the Houjin is too concentrated, so the Ming army is defeated and retreated.

Zhu Hao pondered slightly, and then understood the reason for this, and then he clenched his fists tightly, and then said with some anger:

"At the moment of war, you need to have the heart of a strong man to break his wrist!"

"Yuan Yingtai, who was born as a civil official, doesn't understand this!"

"His heart is harmless, and his deeds should be punished!"

The reason why Zhu Hao came to such a conclusion was because the Ming army was burdened by fame and was stationed in various strongholds and villages, because there were people living in these places, and the Ming army refused to abandon the people, but the Houjin army did not have such scruples.

Zhu Hao understood this, and after another analysis, he understood that the strategy of the Later Jin was that if the Ming army concentrated its forces to defend the city, then the Hou Jin's army would be dispersed into small forces to plunder the people.

If the Ming army dispersed to rescue the people, then the Later Jin was concentrating superior forces and attacking the city, and throughout the war, the Ming army was led by the nose by the Hou Jin army, and did not play its due advantage at all.

Zhu Hao looked at this military map, thinking about how to use his 5,000 men and horses, Zhu Hao understood that if these 5,000 soldiers and horses were put into the frontal battlefield, that is, the two charges on the opposite side, it was estimated that his soldiers and horses would have to lose most of them.

Thinking about this, Zhu Hao looked down at the military map, and after a while, he had a flash of inspiration and asked Zhang Qianhu:

"Zhang Qianhu, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Houjin?"

Zhang Qianhu didn't understand why Zhu Hao asked this, but he didn't ask Zhu Hao why, but replied honestly: "According to the last general's knowledge, it is about 112,000 horses!" ”

Zhu Hao nodded slightly, and then said:

"That means that most of their soldiers and horses have been filmed to attack Shenyang!"

"Then their capital city of Hetuala, there should be no soldiers and horses to guard it, right?"

Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and was instantly shocked, with a panicked expression on his face, and hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, you don't want to attack Hetuala, do you?"

"Your Highness, you listen to the advice of the last general, this matter must not be allowed!"

"Your Highness, what you think is a good idea, but this thing won't work!"

Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's denial of his words, and did not have any annoyance, but asked with interest with a smile on his face:

"Why can't Zhang Qianhu?"

"Speak to this king, and this king listens!"

Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao, and admitted in disguise that he was going to attack Hetuara City, and he couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart:

"After all, this king of letters is too young, although he has a lot of enthusiasm, but he can only talk on paper!"
