Chapter 558: Situation Development

Huang Taiji had the intention of reusing Zhang Liao in his heart, so he encouraged Zhang Liao a few words, and finally said the main topic:

"I am very worried about the affairs in the army, so I will entrust it to General Zhang and handle it with full authority!"

"But if you don't listen to the order, General Zhang can cut it first and then play!"

Zhang Liao originally came over to remind Huang Taiji to stop the bad atmosphere in the army in time, but he didn't expect that Huang Taiji would directly entrust him with important tasks.

This made Zhang Liao suddenly feel that he was a confidant and died, but this sudden heavy responsibility still made Zhang Liao a little worried, so he hurriedly bowed down and said:

"How can the last general, how can he make His Majesty trust him so much!"

Huang Taiji heard Zhang Liao's words, and there was a sense of shirk, so he hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Liao's later words:

"Since I entrust the important matter to General Zhang, I trust General Zhang 100%, please don't worry about it, just do it!"

After a conversation between the two, Zhang Liao officially inherited Meng Tian's position as the number two person in the Later Jin Army.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, during this period, after Zhang Liao's governance, the hidden dangers in the Houjin army have been basically eradicated, and they are ready to fight against the Ming army again.

These Zhu Hao naturally didn't know, but Zhu Hao, who was in Guangning City at the moment, had just received the military report from the front line, and he opened the military newspaper in front of the generals.

After reading the content of the military newspaper clearly, Zhu Hao immediately looked excited, and read loudly:

"On the thirtieth of this month, General Guan's army invaded Liaoyang, beheaded the enemy generals defending the city of Liaoyang, and recovered Liaoyang!"

When the generals heard the news, they were all overjoyed, and they were as excited as Zhu Hao.

It turned out that after Guan Yu rescued Dian Wei, after Zhu Hao understood the ins and outs of the matter, he let Guan Yu leave Guangning and continue to recover the lost territory in Liaodong.

Therefore, Zhu Hao will receive such a battle report at this time.

Just when the generals were expressing their joy to each other, Zhu Hao, who was still excited just now, his face instantly became gloomy, and then he said:

"Generals, now is not the time to be happy!"

"If this king's expectation is right, I'm afraid we are about to usher in a cruel war!"

Cheng Bitingjin, who succeeded Xu Chu at this moment and became the vanguard of Zhu Hao's former army, has always had a temperament that can't be hidden, he listened to Zhu Hao's words, and said with a puzzled face:

"Your Highness, now General Guan has recovered Liaoyang, according to the last general, the recovery of the entire territory of Liaodong is just around the corner!"

"Jianyu's group of grandsons are already grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't jump for a few days!"

"Look, I'm afraid they're going to escape again this time, and that corner is gone!"

"Why is there a cruel war?"

Zhu Hao listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words, sighed and said:

"Hey!"

"Recovering Liaoyang, this king is naturally very happy in his heart!"

"But this news, I believe that the Jianyu under the city will soon know!"

"If they know about this, in order to fight for a glimmer of life, I'm afraid they will storm Quang Ninh!"

"At that time, this king's less than 100,000 soldiers and horses are probably indispensable for a bloody battle!"

Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, and said smartly:

"Your Highness, why don't we still do the same as last time, divide our troops and camp outside the city, use each other's horns as horns, and respond to each other!"

Zhu Hao listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words, sighed slightly, shook his head and said:

"This king has limited soldiers and horses, if these Jianyu really fight hard, regardless of Guangning City, and attack the camp outside the city with all their might, I am afraid that the camp outside the city, the soldiers sent out, will be sent to Jianyu to be slaughtered!"

"What does this king say, he must also stop these Jianjiao's men and horses, and give General Guan time to recover Liaodong!"

"In this case, we must fight to the end!"

Although Cheng Yanjin is not good at strategy, he is not stupid, and listening to Zhu Hao's analysis, he suddenly has a heavy face.

Just when Zhu Hao and the generals in the tent had heavy faces, Zhou Yu, who had not spoken, but no one dared to ignore it, opened his mouth and said:

"Your Highness, my subordinates have a word that I want to say to Your Highness!"

As soon as Zhu Hao saw Zhou Yu, who had not spoken, he suddenly became interested, and after Zhou Yu's words were finished, he replied directly:

"Governor Zhou, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it!"

"You and this king, there is nothing to say!"

Zhu Hao's words made a smile appear on Zhou Yu's face, and then his expression was correct, and he said:

"Your Highness, since the Quang Ninh defense line can't be defended, why don't we let the soldiers and horses go over?"

As soon as Zhou Yu's words were finished, Zhu Hao hadn't said anything yet, and Cheng Biting Jin, who was brushing his sense of existence everywhere, scolded with a black face:

"Fart!"

"Your Highness lets you speak freely, and you just talk about it!"

"Let Jianyu go over, aren't you the general of the pit pass?"

"Do you have a grudge against General Guan?"

"In front of His Highness, he offered this poisonous plan!"

"Don't get out of here!"

Although Cheng Yanjin said it very politely, it was out of kindness, he was afraid that because of Zhou Yu's words, he would anger Zhu Hao, who was already irritable, and punish Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is a peerless wise man, as soon as he heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he understood Cheng Biting Jin's intentions, so he didn't go back to Cheng Biting Jin, but looked at Zhu Hao with a faint smile on his face, waiting for Zhu Hao's answer.

Cheng Biting Jin, who just kindly scolded Zhou Yu, didn't expect that after Zhu Hao listened to Zhou Yu's words, not only did he not get angry, but he didn't even have a trace of displeasure.

On the contrary, Zhu Hao, after listening to Zhou Yu's words, his eyes lit up, and then he glared at Cheng Yanjin fiercely, and said:

"General Cheng, this king is not confused, right or wrong, this king can tell clearly, when will it be your turn to reprimand others for this king?"

"Besides, Zhou Dudu's military rank is still above you, don't you know to respect the commander?"

Zhu Hao's words were not really blaming Cheng Biting Jin, but he was biting Cheng Biting Jin and asking Cheng Biting Jin to put away his thoughts.

Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, and when he understood Zhu Hao's intentions, he said, "Your Highness is angry, and the last general will know that he is wrong!" Then, he hurriedly stepped aside, hung his head, and did not dare to say any more.

Zhu Hao looked at Cheng Biting Jin and snorted, then looked at Zhou Yu and said:

"Zhou Dudu, you go on, this king is very interested in your words!"

What Zhou Yu is waiting for is Zhu Hao's attitude, if Zhu Hao is dissatisfied, he will stop immediately, if Zhu Hao is not dissatisfied, he will continue to talk.

At this moment, Zhu Hao had already expressed his attitude, and Zhou Yu no longer hesitated, and immediately continued:

"Your Highness, since you are interested in the words of your subordinates, it means that Your Highness has already guessed what your subordinates are going to say!"

"But Your Highness, since you let your subordinates say it, then your subordinates will get an axe!"
