Zilharang glanced at Dai Shan and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, this matter still needs to be investigated. In Jinzhou of the Ming Dynasty, Phoenix City is indeed withdrawing troops, what is going on with this cavalry, how many are there, and what purpose, it still needs to be investigated by the scouts. ”

Dai Shan followed and said, "The total number of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty is not 30,000, and there can't be too many in Dongjiang Town. And if it's just cavalry, even if it's 30,000 people, it's going to die. This matter is a little strange. ”

Xiaozhuang also frowned, if the Ming Dynasty only sent cavalry alone, they had no fear, and their cavalry was almost never defeated.

Xiaozhuang hesitated again and again, and said, "Okay, Prince Zheng, you keep an eye on them." Also, do you want to bring people back? ”

They had just disbanded 20,000 or 30,000 men, and now only 20,000 standing troops were in Shenyang.

Zilharang's expression was silent, he had just been disbanded and recruited, which would undoubtedly cause a lot of problems. But if they don't recruit back, if the Ming Dynasty is attacked, what will they do?

Dai Shan said directly: "Move!" ”

Chen Hualong pretended to groan, answered just right, and said: "Weichen also thinks that he should be recruited back in case of accidents. ”

Xiaozhuang was also afraid, nodded and said, "Prince Zheng, recruit back." ”

Zilharang sighed in his heart and raised his hand in response.

They are not only facing the problem of lack of food and grass, but also morale, and they go and return, and I don't know how much impact it will have on the morale of the army.

Soon, Zilharang ordered that all the soldiers who had just been withdrawn were covered, and Shenyang City was once again under martial law, and the distributed grain was recovered to the greatest extent, and Shenyang City was tense and slaughtered.

But only one day later, Shenyang carefully reconnoitred the Ming Dynasty cavalry.

Xiaozhuang found the three of them in the palace, his expression was still not relaxed, and said, "There are really only five thousand people?" ”

Dai Shan was full of confidence and said, "Yes, after many investigations, it is indeed only five thousand." And they are menacing, as if they are going to attack the city. ”

Xiaozhuang was puzzled and said, "What can five thousand people do?" What is Zhou's conspiracy? ”

Five thousand cavalry really can't do anything, not even enough for them to stuff their teeth.

Chen Hualong had been thinking about it, and when he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, his expression was surprised, and he became calm again in an instant, slowly raised his hand, and said: "Queen Mother, it seems that Weichen is Zhou Zhengyun's dying struggle, and he has no choice but to do it." He was no longer able to make a large army to the Northern Expedition, so he could only send a little cavalry and make a little action to block the mouths of the Ming Dynasty and give himself a step down. Judging from Weichen, within ten days, this cavalry will inevitably withdraw. Moreover, they will not get too close to Shenyang, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, just for show. ”

Xiaozhuang's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "Really? ”

Chen Hualong looked determined and said, "If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you might as well wait a few days to see." Liaodong, the Ming army in Dongjiang Town will accelerate its retreat, and this cavalry will only wander in the distance, even if it is close, it is just for show, and it will not be much of a threat. ”

"Prince Zheng?" Xiaozhuang habitually looked at Zilharang.

Zilharang had been thinking about it in his heart, and when he heard it, he said, "Lord Chen's words have some truth. With only five thousand cavalry, there was no threat to us. Let's take a look before we decide. ”

Xiaozhuang nodded slightly and said, "You have to love Qing." ”

Ji'er Harang, Dai Shan, and Chen Hualong hurriedly raised their hands and said, 'Don't dare'.

Another day, as Chen Hualong said, Li Dingguo's cavalry only wandered around the periphery of Shenyang City, attacking some villages and small fortresses, and did not get too close to Shenyang.

The high-level of Jianyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but they were not careless, and still sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on it, while Jianyu's cavalry was waiting for them.

On the third day, Li Dingguo's cavalry went straight to Shenyang, but did not go deeper, turned south and ran to Tieling and Fushun.

Li Dingguo's move seemed to anger Jianlu, and Zilharang sent Duoduo to lead 3,000 people to pursue, and when Duoduo chased to Tieling, he saw a ruined wall, and a human head - Dolgon's!

Dordor was furious and led three thousand men in a frenzied pursuit.

Li Dingguo waited for an opportunity to set up an ambush and defeated Duoduo, almost annihilating the entire army.

Li Dingguo took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the army approached the city of Shenyang, causing a great earthquake in Shenyang.

Jierharang personally led 10,000 people out, and Li Dingguo closed without a fight, turned around and rushed to Dongjiang Town.

Zilharang chased after him until he reached the bottom of Phoenix.

Thousands of cannons burst out in Phoenix City, making Zilharang afraid to approach.

At the same time, it is a hundred miles north of Zhenbei City.

Mangui, Cao Bianjiao received a secret letter from the Military Intelligence Department.

Man Gui looked shocked, handed it to Cao Bianjiao and said: "Jierharang has not returned for two days, and Shenyang City is almost empty. You say, what should I do? ”

Cao Bianjiao has always been steady, and he quickly calculated in his heart, and said: "Immediately send troops to Shenyang, surround Shenyang, and then ambush Zierharang, fight out half of them, and Liaodong will be just around the corner!" ”

Man Gui looked at Cao Bianjiao and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the person brought out by Dingguo Gong, and his thoughts are really the same as him." ”

Cao Bianjiao didn't smile and said: "This is also no way, but if you can fight, you don't need to do this." ”

Man Gui laughed, looked to the north, his eyes were cold, and said, "Don't miss the opportunity, immediately, and send a message to Lu Dudu at the same time." ”

Cao Bianjiao responded, walked a few steps quickly, turned over his horse, and said loudly: "Conscription, go north, Shenyang!" ”

When boarding, the drums and horns are in the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves is like thunder.

Man Gui, Cao Bianjiao's 20,000 cavalry, went north at full speed, and went straight to Shenyang.

However, in half a day, Cao Bianjiao and Mangui's 20,000 cavalry appeared not far from Shenyang.

The whole city of Shenyang was shocked, on the one hand, Dai Shan led everyone to defend the city, and on the other hand, he urgently notified Jierharang to turn back.

Man Gui, Cao Bianjiao's cavalry did not attack the city, and walked around the city, shouting and killing like thunder.

Xiaozhuang, Fulin and the others were terrified, they never thought that the Ming army that had withdrawn would suddenly appear.

Chen Hualong and other Han officials were even more afraid, they couldn't defend it, and they couldn't escape.

Duoduo shouted to kill him, but was suppressed by Daishan.

Before, Duoduo wasted five thousand, and Zilharan took ten thousand, and almost all of them were old and weak, women and children. And, not to mention that they can't be beaten, according to the Ming Dynasty's way of fighting for their lives, how long can they hold on?

What they have to do now is to wait for Zilharang to return to the division, and the inside and outside should be combined to eat the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty!

There was tension in Shenyang City, almost everyone had to defend the city, and there was even more panic in the palace, and everyone was restless.

Zilharang, who was outside Phoenix, soon received the news and immediately turned around.

But what followed was that Li Dingguo's 5,000 cavalry rested and perfected, went out of the city and bit Zilharang, and there were 20,000 infantry, followed by artillery.

Jierharang had the heart to turn around and defeat this Ming army, but seeing that the Ming army was in a tight formation, even if he showed his flaws, he would not attack easily, and he knew that this Ming army would either fight to the death with him, or deliberately drag him, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

The situation in Liaodong has changed rapidly, and all parties have continued to move.

After receiving the news, Lu Xiangsheng of Jinzhou immediately led an army of 30,000 and rushed to Shenyang at full speed.

Affected by this, the entire Liaodong carried out a busier mobilization, and even Shandong, Tianjin Weidu was like a great enemy, all kinds of armies, logistics were running rapidly.

And the wind in the capital was suddenly tight, and everyone died down, staring at the battle situation in Liaodong.
