On the Liaodong side, Lu Xiangsheng had already returned to Haizhou, and did not stay in Anshan Post Fort, let alone continue to attack Liaoyang. The reason is very simple, there is not enough food and grass materials, so he can take enough troops to attack Liaoyang.

If there are fewer troops to attack Liaoyang, although Jianyu is already declining, but the combat power is still there, and it is not good to send people to the head, then it is obviously impossible to do it.

But no matter what, the Ming army's night does not collect began to appear near Liaoyang, from Anshan Post Fort to Liaoyang, it has become a battlefield for scouts on both sides, at least for now.

At this time, in Haizhou's governor's line, Lu Xiangsheng was standing in front of a huge map of Liaodong, and said to Li Dingguo, who had been promoted to general, and Chen Shaoan: "The emperor has sent reliable news that the Japanese state has formed an alliance with Jianguo, and will not only send troops to Korea, but also transport grain to Jianguo." They will transport grain from here to here......"

As he spoke, he pointed to a map in the northern waters of North Korea at a certain point before continuing: "In order to save as much food as possible, Jianyu does not want to waste it on the road. Therefore, they have decided to transport inland by boat from here on the Tumen River, and not by land if they can go by water......"

Hearing this, Li Dingguo and Chen Shaoan both showed surprise. However, Li Dingguo, who went to participate in the military parade before the Chinese New Year, was better, because he knew that the only gold Ming Hero Medal was obtained by the Jinyi Wei secret agent. And this Jinyi Wei spy even became the son-in-law of the former slave chief Taiji for a while. He had to admit that Da Ming's spying ability was really strong!

While they were thinking, Lu Xiangsheng had already solemnly announced: "Therefore, the emperor's decree is to send a cavalry army to secretly go to the mouth of the Tumen River and burn the grain that the Japanese sent to Jianlu." The officer has decided to send the two of you. How is it? ”

Li Dingguo's battle command ability has been recognized by everyone in the Battle of Yaozhouyi, he leads the army and can adapt to changes, Lu Xiangsheng is assured. And Chen Shao'an is a native of the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, and he has been in Jianyu for a long time, and he doesn't know as many people as Kong Youde, so if he leads the way and cooperates with Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng is also the most assured.

"The last general obeys!" Li Dingguo and Chen Shaoan listened, and they all hugged their fists and said.

At this time, almost everyone knew how fatal the seven-inch beating that grabbed Jianlu was to Jianlu!

Lu Xiangsheng listened to their reply, nodded and said, "Now Jianyu has shrunk a lot because of the lack of troops. This official has thought carefully, and if you follow this road, you should be able to avoid the eyes and ears of Jianyu. In this battle, you are not having many troops, but taking them by surprise. Therefore, it is enough to lead the headquarters of the Dongjiang Army to the cavalry. ”

The hussar battalion stayed in Liaodong for 5,000, but relatively speaking, the Dongjiang cavalry was more adapted to the climate and environment of Liaodong. Besides, if there are too many people, it is easy to be discovered by Jianyu, and if they lose their suddenness, it will not be easy to destroy Jianyu's food, which is not good!

Seeing that Li Dingguo and Chen Shaoan were listening carefully, Lu Xiangsheng continued to explain: "In addition, in order to cover you, this official will strengthen the harassment of Liaoyang and attract the attention of Jianyu. After you have burned the grain of the prisoners, you will act according to the actual situation. It is best to harass Jianyu in the north and make a big disturbance; If you don't have a fighter, don't force it, come back and ......"

Speaking of this, he raised his voice and emphasized solemnly: "The main purpose of this battle is to burn the grain, and in addition, to minimize the casualties of the soldiers, which is also emphasized by the emperor, remember?" ”

"The last general obeys!" When Li Dingguo and Chen Shaoan heard this, they immediately replied with the same seriousness.

As for the news that Emperor Chongzhen was about to lead the army and recover Shenyang, Lu Xiangsheng had already mentioned it to the two of them. This is also the reason why Lu Xiangsheng explained to the two of them, if he had the opportunity, he would make a disturbance in the north of Jianyu.

On the third day, Li Dingguo, who had finished the preparations, quietly left Haizhou with Chen Shao'an and 3,000 Dongjiang cavalry and disappeared into the land of Liaodong.

As soon as they left, Lu Xiangsheng went to sit in Anshan Post Fort, and according to the agreement, intensified the harassment of Liaoyang. Although the grain and grass were not enough to support the army to attack Liaoyang, there was no problem in sending more nights without harvesting.

Regarding the reaction of the Ming army, after Dolgon in Shengjing learned about the situation, he was very relieved. He explained to Bumu Butai, who had always been worried: "After the Ming army captured the Anshan Post Fort, at most it only sent to harass Liaoyang at night, which shows that the Ming army must also lack food and grass to miss the fighter." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice a little, and said more confidently: "With the shrewdness of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, he will definitely not see that my Qing Dynasty is at its weakest, but he still did not send troops to attack, which means that there is no surplus food in the Ming Kingdom." By the time the grain of the Ming Kingdom is harvested and transported to Liaodong, I will get the grain of the Wa Kingdom early in the morning, and I will have already taken a step to relieve my breath. ”

"It's so good, and this palace will be at ease!" When Bumu Butai heard this, he was also greatly relieved. She still believed in Dorgon's judgment.

When Dorgon saw her reaction, he turned to Hauge and told him, "The grain of the Japanese country is related to the future of my Qing Dynasty, and you must bring back as much food as possible." ”

When the Qing Dynasty needed unity the most, the matter of transporting grain was finally handed over to Hauge, which can be regarded as compensation for the previous suppression of Hauge's family.

In fact, he also hid his careful thoughts on this matter.

Hauge is a reckless fool, if he gets the food but has a different heart, Dorgon is not afraid, he believes that Hauge can be defeated.

In addition, with Hauge gone, the vein left by Huang Taiji will only be left with the protectors led by Aobai, and his strength will be greatly weakened, and his authority will be more difficult to provoke. Coupled with the fact that Bumu Butai and him wore a pair of pants, this regent could almost be said to be equivalent to the emperor.

Duoduo is in Liaoyang, and only Yue Tuo is still in Shengjing.

As for Yue Tuo, although from the current point of view, he has already supported Dolgon, but Dolgon is still not at ease with him. If Yue Tuo had a different intention when he got the grain, he would still be afraid.

It was for the above reasons that it was Hauge who finally went to pick up the grain.

At this time, Hauge heard Dolgon's advice, and immediately patted his chest and said: "This time is so important, do you think I am a three-year-old child, I don't know?" ”

"Alright, don't be verbose, I'll leave early tomorrow morning!" Haoge didn't want to look at the pair of dog men and women in front of him more, turned around and left, and said at the same time, "The future of the Qing Dynasty depends on me, look at it!" ”

Seeing him walk out of the Chongzheng Palace, Dolgon turned his head and said to Yue Tuo with a kind face: "Now that Shengjing has squeezed out grain and sent it to Liaoyang, the situation of the people below still needs us to appease more." Here in Shengjing, if you can save a little more food, you can save a little more food, and when Haoge comes back, there will be no more hunger! ”

"Uncle rest assured!" Yueto was respectful to Dorgon, and after answering a word, he left.

As soon as he left, there was no one in the Chongzheng Palace. Dolgon looked at Bumu Butai, sighed and said, "The palace still has to be an example, just endure this time!" ”

There is no way, what is most lacking at the moment is food. Dorgon had to go around and reassure people. Otherwise, if you are in a hurry, there will be chaos.

Bumu Butai was relatively calm, and said to Dolgon with a smile: "Don't worry, with the hope of the grain of the Japanese country, this palace believes that everyone will be able to endure it!" ”

She was sure of this. She doesn't understand the things of war, but she is still a little confident in this person's heart.

Dolgon listened, nodded, and listened intently, Shengjing City was now very quiet, not even the sound of birds. If it were a different place, I might be happy with the tranquility. But at this time, Dolgon sighed, thinking in his heart: Today's Shengjing is like a dead city, I hope to get through this predicament as soon as possible!

…………

Compared with Shengjing, where even the birds have been eaten, Ning Jin's side is very lively.

On the coastline, transport ships form a long queue that is not in sight, and they go all the way to the north.

And on land, Emperor Chongzhen's imperial car led the Imperial Forest Army to march mightily. Hong Chengchou is here, and he has already made arrangements, and the camp of the army is properly arranged, and as soon as the army arrives, he will be able to eat and sleep well.

I have to say that it took a lot of effort for Hong Chengchou to be able to arrange for this part. Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the people on Guanning's side.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the people on the Jingshi side enthusiastically borrowed grain to support the imperial court to fight the Jianlu, and the matter had already spread here. drove the people here, and also learned from the people of Beijing, and actively participated in this action of conquering Jianjiao.

When Hong Chengchou reported these things to Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen also saw these with his own eyes, he happily decreed that the welfare of the people of Jingshi could also be enjoyed by the people of Ningjin. In other words, they will get a lot of rewards for their efforts.

Suddenly, this news made the enthusiasm of the people of Ningjin even higher. Emperor Chongzhen's expedition this time, the action of crusading against Jianyu, is really a bit like the Huaihai Battle in later generations, and has been warmly supported by the people!

In this way, in the middle of May of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen led the army to Haizhou.

Before the arrival of the army, Lu Xiangsheng's previous additional night non-collection had not decreased, which also played a role in blocking news.

While the army was resting in Haizhou, Emperor Chongzhen listened to Lu Xiangsheng's detailed information about Liaodong, combined with the feedback he received from the eavesdropping system, and he had a plan in his heart.

Five days later, the war in Liaodong officially began!
