As soon as Yang Sichang said this, Chongzhen suddenly lowered his face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Wen is weak, then Li Xiaosu is good friends with you, but you are talking like this today, what is the reason?" Chongzhen asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, although Li Xiao and Weichen have always had a personal relationship, but as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, they should put state affairs first, how can they be ignorant of their personal feelings?" Yang Sichang raised his head and said with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that if you act like Li Xiao's suggestion, wouldn't it be that the soldiers and horses from all over the country who came to aid Shandong are all under his control, then Li Xiao's power is too much." And although Li Xiao is the dry city of the country, the court should not be blindly arrogant! According to Weichen's opinion, the soldiers and horses sent to Shandong for reinforcement still need to be arranged by the imperial court itself. ”

Chongzhen stiffened his face and muttered for a long time, then nodded lightly.

"Yang Gebu's words are the words of Lao Cheng's country." Chongzhen sighed lightly and said: "Then in your opinion, the Qing army is going to Shandong, but where is the main attack?" ”

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that some time ago, Li Xiao led an army across the sea to attack Jinfu Erzhou, causing chaos in the Qing Kingdom?" Yang Sichang's eyes burned, and instead of answering Chongzhen's question directly, he changed the topic to a new one.

Li Xiao has already told me about this matter, Li Xiao can burn the land of southern Liaoning of the Qing Dynasty into a white land, and then peel the skin and grass of the Qing Dynasty and hang it on the city wall, which is really full of anger and raises the prestige of my Ming army! When I heard it that day, I was very angry! Chongzhen's face flashed with excitement, but he said hesitantly: "Li Xiao has made this great achievement, although I have not promoted him to the rank of knight, but I have already greatly rewarded his subordinates. Wen Weak, why did you tell me about this today? ”

"Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to say is that it is precisely because Li Xiao has dealt such a heavy blow to the two states of Jinfu of the Qing State, so Weichen dares to predict that when the Qing Dynasty goes to Shandong, he will go all out to attack Dengzhou, in order to completely defeat Li Xiao, firstly, to save face for himself, and secondly, to avenge the king of the county who was skinned and executed."

"Oh, if that's the case, then these 100,000 Qing troops will attack Dengzhou, then wouldn't Li Xiao be dangerous?" Chongzhen's face showed a look of worry.

Yang Sichang smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Li Xiao is a national Gancheng Tiger General, I believe he will have a way to repel these invading Qing troops." The reason why Weichen raised this point to the emperor was to tell the emperor that after the Qing army entered Shandong, it was very likely that it would attack Wudingzhou first, then Qingzhou, then Laizhou, and finally Dengzhou. This route should be the fastest and most convenient offensive route for the Qing army. ”

"Wen weak, what do you mean 。。。。。。"

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the main force of the Qing army in the customs wants to attack Li Xiao, so let them go to attack Dengzhou. Anyway, the Tang army under Li Xiao's subordinates has extraordinary combat power, and he must have a way to repel the invading Qing army, and Dengzhou should be worry-free. Therefore, from all parts of our Ming Dynasty, the soldiers and horses who came to aid Shandong only need to keep the rest of the important prefectures and counties in Shandong and not be attacked by the scattered troops of the Qing army. ”

Yang Sichang paused, and then said quickly: "According to Weichen's opinion, I joined the soldiers and horses in Shandong, but they are mainly stationed in the Dezhou area. In addition, troops were stationed in Jinan, Yanzhou and other places to ensure that these important towns in Shandong were not invaded by the Tatars. When the Qing army has been attacking Dengzhou for a long time and the veterans of the division are tired, sending troops to attack it again will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Qing army. Then, our army took advantage of the power of this battle and forced the Qing army to sign a withdrawal agreement, which was the best outcome. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Very good, Aiqing is reasonable, just like Aiqing said." Chongzhen stood up and said loudly: "Spread my will, Cao Bianjiao, the general soldier of Shaanxi, Zu Kuan, the general soldier of Liaodong, Liu Liangzuo, the deputy chief soldier of Shanxi, and Ni Chong, the deputy general soldier of Shandong, all led the troops and horses of the headquarters to defend Dezhou to stop the Qing army, and went straight into central Shandong from the north. In addition, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, Zu Dabi, the deputy chief soldier of the Liaodong Forward Battalion, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, were sent to Jinan, Yanzhou and nearby prefectures and counties to strictly prevent the Qing army from captive and plunder. ”

"The emperor is Mingjian, Weichen will go and arrange it."

Yang Sichang stood up, bowed to the emperor, and was about to retreat, but was suddenly stopped by the emperor.

"Wen is weak, and there is also Lu Jiandou's posthumous gift, I also want to talk to you about it." Chongzhen put his hands behind his back and sighed lightly.

Hearing that the emperor was going to give Lu Xiangsheng a posthumous gift, Yang Sichang's heart was sour and he was quite unhappy, but he frowned, and replied calmly: "Lu Jiandou sacrificed his life for the country, and he was loyal, and the emperor should vigorously give a posthumous gift to encourage loyalty." ”

Chongzhen nodded, and said loudly: "That's exactly what it means!" Spread my will, posthumously awarded Lu Jiandou as the prince and young master, gave the title of secretary of the military department, called the martyr, gave a generous funeral, and built a shrine to worship. “

"My emperor is magnificent, and the ministers obey the order."

。。。。。。

During the period when the emperor issued a holy decree to dispatch soldiers and horses to various parts of Shandong to deploy defenses, 100,000 Qing troops, with a momentum like a bamboo, Lianke Jinghai, Cangzhou, Nanpi, Leling and other places, the front of the army, all invincible.

In the entire Cangzhou to Shandong border, there are Qing troops who enter the customs like devils, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, countless villages and towns are in ruins, and a large number of people are killed and humiliated, which is unspeakably miserable. In the end, the old and weak filled the ravines, the young and strong were the coats, and countless money, grain, and livestock became the trophies of the Qing army.

Outside the burned and ruined city of Leling, in the camp of the Qing army, in the largest fiery gold-roofed cowhide tent, Dolgon, Yue Xu, Haoge, Abatai, Dudu, Nikan, these high-ranking Manchurian clan generals, are gathering people to discuss the plan to attack Shandong next.

Dorgon sat upright on a hat chair at the top, but there was not much joy on his handsome face.

Because, according to the report from the sentinel cavalry who entered Shandong in advance, a large number of Tang troops were already stationed here at Wuding Prefecture, the place where the attack on Dengzhou was originally scheduled to pass.

Hearing the news, Dolgon's heart sank.

With this large number of Tang troops stationed in Wudingzhou City, the road to attack Dengzhou was firmly blocked, and it was impossible for him to sneak attack Dengzhou.

Therefore, Dorgon, who was worried, summoned these clan generals to gather together to discuss and see what to do next.

The first to stand up and express his stance was Prince Hauge of Su.

His right leg, which was cut by Li Xiao, was wrapped in a white bandage, and the injury looked quite serious, but he stood up tremblingly, and said to Dolgon: "Prince Rui, in the opinion of this king, this original plan cannot be changed suddenly. ”

"Oh, Prince Su, why do you think so?" Dorgon glanced at him.

"Prince Rui, since our army conquered the Cangzhou area, it can be said that it is invincible and its morale is high. Although there is a Tang army stationed here, the morale of our army is booming, the military spirit is available, and the soldiers are very confident in capturing Wuding Prefecture in the northwest of Shandong. In addition, this Wuding Prefecture is very close to Leling, where our army is currently stationed, which is very convenient for our army's action. Therefore, this king believes that the three armies cannot be taken away, and if our army attacks Wuding Prefecture, it will be able to overcome it in one fell swoop. ”

Hauge paused and continued: "Besides, if we can eliminate the Tang army troops stationed in Wuding Prefecture and destroy its main force, then next, our army will attack Qingzhou, Laizhou and other places, and then it will be invincible, and what kind of Ming army will be able to defeat the front of our army?!" Our army will take advantage of the momentum again, and when we can take Dengzhou in one fell swoop, we will take the head of Li Xiao's dog! “

As soon as Hauge finished speaking, Nikan nodded repeatedly, jumped up from his chair, and said loudly: "Prince Su is right! Our army went all the way south from Zhuozhou, conquered and plundered the land, and almost no one could stop it! Take advantage of this sharp momentum to attack the city of Wudingzhou, which is garrisoned by the Tang army, and you will be able to use your life to successfully conquer this city, thus making it a shame that you were forced to withdraw from Zhuozhou before! If the main force of the Tang army can really be eliminated here, then all the Ming troops will be frightened, and our army will march east to Dengzhou, and no Ming army will dare to fight with our Qing elite soldiers. Wouldn't this land of Dengzhou be at your fingertips?! “

After Nikan finished speaking, his face was smug, he looked around, but found that except for Hauge, who cast an approving look at him, the rest of them had solemn faces and frowned.

"Hey, uncles, Brother Du Du, you have a statement." Seeing that the crowd was silent, Nikan was anxious, and he shouted at them.

Seeing Nikan's eagerness, Dolgon twisted his beard, but a sneer appeared on his face.

He turned his head and caught a glimpse of Abatai shaking his head slightly.

"Rao Yu Belle, what do you think differently, but you can also speak directly to this king."

Seeing Abatai's disapproval, Dorgon immediately asked him to speak by name.

Abatai stood up and bowed his hand to Dolgon: "Prince Rui, I think that this Wuding Prefecture will be very difficult to conquer, and our army must not waste time by throwing troops here." ”

"Oh, please tell me more."

"Prince Rui, the previous time our army attacked Zhuozhou, and the morale was also quite strong, but Li Xiao came to rescue him first, so that our army's achievements were defeated. Although the Ming army was suspected of winning by luck in this battle, it also showed the strength of the Tang army under Li Xiao. Therefore, Ben Baylor was thinking that in such a difficult state that day, the Tang army could barely keep Zhuozhou, and now they were already in Wuding Prefecture, and they had set up heavy guards to wait for work, and our army wanted to fight quickly, but I was afraid that it would not be so easy. ”

"Spare Baylor has a point." Anping Belle Dudu interjected from the side: "Although Ben Belle did not participate in the Battle of Zhuozhou, he also knew the tragedy of the siege of Zhuozhou. This Tang army is so strong and capable of fighting, it must not be taken lightly! And now the Tang Army, since it has set up a heavy defense in Wuding Prefecture, must be fully prepared, just waiting for our army to go to the city to the death. If our army continues to carry out the original plan, even if it can capture Wuding Prefecture, it will suffer heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"What Anping Baylor says, so does this king." Yue Zhen, who had not spoken, coughed lightly and said, "There is a saying, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. How can this way of using troops be confined to one reason? In the eyes of this king, now that the Tang army has been fortified in Wuding Prefecture, then we must no longer collide stupidly, but we can plan and avoid the real and attack the false, which is the best strategy. ”

"Oh, Prince Zheng has a point, and he has a lot of details."

A smile appeared on Dolgon's face, and he nodded appreciatively at Yue Tuo.

Seeing that Dolgon also had this intention, Yue Zhen made up his mind, and his voice became much louder: "Everyone, according to the spies, the Ming army in Shandong is mainly concentrated in two places. One is Wuding Prefecture, which is basically guarded by the Tang Army. The other was Dezhou, which was mainly garrisoned by Ming troops drawn from all over the Ming Kingdom. In my opinion, our army can divide the soldiers and horses into two parts in this Leling place, one is a feint attack, to take Wuding Prefecture, so that the Tang army defending the city does not dare to move lightly. The other army was the main attack, taking Texas and destroying the Ming armies whose combat strength was far weaker than that of the Tang Army. ”

Yue Zhen said loudly: "There is a way, persimmons should be pinched softly, as long as this Texas is one gram, the Shandong Ming army will be basically destroyed, and there will be no threat at all." Our army can take Jinan and occupy its Shandong provincial capital. In this way, the prestige of our army will be greatly enhanced, and the Ming court will be shocked. If the provincial capital of Jinan is lost, the entire central part of Shandong will fall into the hands of our army. Then the dog thief Li Xiao will lose his ground, and he will be in chaos, and he will be in danger of being divided and surrounded by our army. In this way, our army should be able to firmly occupy the initiative, whether attacking Dengzhou from northern Shandong or attacking from central Shandong, it can allocate troops according to the situation and catch Li Xiao off guard. And Li Xiao will only respond passively, taking care of one and losing the other, and making it difficult and thoughtful. If this is the case, this land of Dengzhou should not be difficult to take. ”

"Okay, well, what Prince Zheng said, it is very much in line with the king's intentions."

A bright smile appeared on Dolgon's face, and he was about to praise Yue a few more words, but Nikan interjected coldly from the side: "Prince Zheng, let me ask you, if the Ming army guarded by Texas, although the combat strength is not good, but the number of soldiers is overwhelming and the city is defended, my Qing army cannot conquer Dezhou, so what?" ”

Yue Zhi seemed to have expected Nikan to ask such a question, and he replied with a sneer: "What Beizi said may also happen. However, this situation has also been considered by this king. ”

"Oh?"

"That is, if the Ming army guarding Dezhou is large and difficult to capture as soon as it advances, then our Qing army can simply bypass Dezhou and attack Jinan! This king dares to conclude that those Ming troops defending the city can only rely on the courage to defend the city, and no one will dare to fight our army head-on! Therefore, when our army went to attack Jinan, these Texas defenders would not dare to come to the rescue, but would only wait and see. Therefore, our army should have no worries and can attack the provincial capital Jinan. Our army is strong, and this Jinan City, which has few soldiers, must be taken! Yue Zhen said with a confident face.

"Prince Zheng is right, those Ming soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is not easy to defend the city, how can they still have the courage to fight with my elite Qing elite! When our army goes to attack Jinan, it will definitely fall in one fell swoop, there is no doubt about it! Ben Baylor is willing to be the vanguard of our army and take Texas! ”

Abatai's face was filled with excitement when he heard Yue Xuan's strategic plan, and he clenched his fists and spoke loudly to Dolgon.

At this time, Du Du and Nikan and others, after being moved by Yue Xuan's plan, also got up one after another and shouted to Dolgon for battle.

Only Hauge grimaced and remained silent.

Dolgon glanced at Hauge proudly, and then said loudly: "Prince Zheng's strategy is very much in line with the king's wishes. Okay, this king will be a green leaf this time! Then the king and the prince of Su Haoge led 40,000 soldiers and horses to feint to attack Wudingzhou, thinking that they should cover it. ”

Speaking of this, Dole glanced at Haug painfully, consciously or unconsciously, and Haug caught a glimpse of his contemptuous eyes, and his heart was secretly hated.

Dolgon, you thief, if Lao Tzu was not injured in the leg and could not go to the battlefield, how could you be allowed to knead like this!

Seeing that Hauge was silent, a sneer flashed on Dolgon's face, and he said loudly: "In addition, Prince Zheng Yue will lead 60,000 troops and horses to attack the main attacking force, and then match Abatai, Dudu, and Nikan as deputy generals to attack Texas together, and hope that the army will go forward and play Kai as soon as possible!" ”

"Huh! Please wait for the good news! ”

Yue Xu, Du Du, Nikan and others knelt on the ground and made a loud statement to Dolgon.
