In the next few days, according to Li Xiao's plan, the Tang army moved in two divisions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A Tang army, composed of firearms troops, Xuanhu heavy cavalry, rampant sentinels, and half of the spear and shield soldiers of the A battalion in Xingzhong Town, led by Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guo, went all the way north to attack the remaining towns such as Muchangyi, Qingniwa, and Nanguam, and finally took the northernmost county seat of Jinxian.

The other Tang army, composed of flying harrier light cavalry, and the other half of the spear and shield soldiers of the A battalion of Xingzhong Town, led by Liu Guoneng, the deputy general of Xingzhong Town, scattered and attacked, burned and plundered the villages, captured the villagers, and everywhere they went, a white land, and the village and town markets were all in ruins.

When the Tang army finally bombarded the county seat of Jinxian with heavy dragon artillery, and the county ordered Zhao Shoude to lead the 500 Qing troops defending the city to surrender under a white flag, the messengers sent by Shenyang finally reached the Qing army camp outside Jinzhou after running and killing two horses.

In a huge gold-roofed flame Chinese army tent, Huang Taiji's face was iron-blue, and he listened to the cavalry running like a cow kneeling urgently.

"Your Majesty, the Tang army is attacking across the sea this time, and its momentum is extremely great, and the master of Wanyan is a small number of soldiers, and he is trapped in Lushun City, and the situation is extremely critical. If the emperor can't send reinforcements urgently, the minions are afraid that it will be difficult to hold Jinzhou. This land of the Golden State will no longer be owned by my Qing Dynasty! ”

The more Huang Taiji listened, the more ugly his face became, and the anger in his heart was beyond measure.

It's hateful, he was so carefully calculated, and the Ming army in western Liaoxi was out of breath, but he didn't think that this dog thief Li Xiao would take advantage of the emptiness of the army in the Qing Dynasty to secretly attack Jinzhou in the north, but he was extremely accurate and ruthless.

After listening to the cavalry's report, Huang Taiji's heart was extremely cold.

He knew that since the Tang army invaded Jinzhou, although the cavalry who reported the news arrived day and night, it had been four days until now. After these four days, I am afraid that this Lushun City has fallen into the hands of the Tang army.

Alas, if Li Xiao does not die, it will be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to be safe!

Huang Taiji waved his hand irritably, signaling the cavalry who reported the news to retreat first.

The cavalry replied and hurriedly bowed out of the tent.

"Go, go and summon Zilharan and Dordor and the three of them into the account, I have urgent matters to discuss with them." After the cavalry disappeared outside the tent gate, Huang Taiji coldly ordered.

"Huh!"

Soon, Prince Zheng Jierharang, Prince Yu Duoduo, and scholar Fan Wencheng hurriedly entered the account.

Subsequently, Huang Taiji had a gloomy face and urgently explained to the three of them about Li Xiao's invasion of Jinzhou by the Tang Army. When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the momentum of this Tang army, since it is so vast, the defenders of Jinzhou are bound to be invincible. Please also ask the emperor to summon the Guan army as soon as possible and make every effort to resist the invasion of the Tang army! ”

Prince Zheng, who has always been cautious, said to Huang Taiji anxiously.

Hearing the trembling words of Zilharang's voice, Huang Taiji frowned.

Okay, Li Xiao has just arrived in Jinzhou, and the original plan to enter the customs and plunder here must be abandoned, isn't this exactly the trick of Li Thief.

Huang Taiji thought like this in his heart, and at this time, Duoduo next to him also glanced at Zierharang with great displeasure, and said coldly: "Prince Zheng, weren't you scared by that Li Xiao?" This Tang army took advantage of the emptiness in the Qing Dynasty to invade Jinzhou, in the eyes of this king, it is just a trick, how can I mess with the established national policy of entering the customs and invading the Ming. ”

Feeling sarcastic by Duoduo, Zilharang's face couldn't hold back, and he said hatefully: "Duoduo, you speak lightly. Now that the Tang army has been overwhelmed by a large number of troops, Chen soldiers are in Jinzhou, our country is empty of soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to transfer reinforcements everywhere, can he only let him invade recklessly? Let me ask you, if you don't send reinforcements, will this Golden State be left? ”

Duoduo's eyebrows furrowed, and his words became more severe: "Prince Zheng said this, although this Jinzhou wants to be saved, there is no need to recall the Qing army that entered the customs at all. With the will of this king, one of the soldiers and horses of our army entering Liaoxi can be divided and sent to Jinzhou to rescue. Or collect the soldiers and horses stationed in various states and counties in the country, integrate a large army, and then send them to Jinzhou to rescue. ”

Zilharang was still arguing, but was stopped by Huang Taiji in a low voice.

He turned his gaze to Fan Wencheng, who had been silent, and tried to ask in a gentle tone: "Master Fan, in your opinion, the Tang army invaded Jinzhou, but how should I deal with it?" ”

Fan Wencheng raised his head, his face was grim, and finally bowed his hand and said: "Go back to the emperor, agree with Prince Yu's opinion, and you must not easily recall the army entering the pass because of Li Xiao's sneak attack." From the student's point of view, it is better to transfer most of the soldiers and horses of our army here to Jinzhou to fight Li Xiao. ”

Seeing that Fan Wencheng also agreed with his own point of view, Duoduo was very proud, while Zilharang had a look of resentment on his face.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the official chair, also nodded slightly when he heard this. At this time, a ruthless color flashed in Fan Wencheng's eyes, and he said: "Your Majesty, there is a way, and there is no rudeness to come." That dog thief Li Xiao, since he dared to take advantage of the emptiness of troops in my Great Qing Dynasty to come and attack, then why didn't my Great Qing Dynasty treat others in the way of others? ”

"Oh, Kento, but please be detailed." Huang Taiji's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, the students thought that the emperor could quickly send someone to deliver a message, so that Prince Rui Dolgon, who had unified the army into the customs, gave up the original battle plan of dividing the troops and plundering in all directions, led all the troops, and attacked Shandong, and went straight to Li Xiao's Dengzhou lair. It is necessary to take advantage of Li Xiao's old nest to Dengzhou, and now when the army is empty, he will overcome it in one fell swoop. “

Fan Wencheng paused, and his voice became louder: "In order to cooperate with the action of the army entering the customs, our army can quickly call back the troops here, and drag Li Xiao in the Jinzhou area, so that even if Li Xiao knows that Dengzhou has been attacked, it will be difficult to return to help immediately." If I can move quickly and conquer the entire territory of Shandong all the way, then Li Xiao's house, even if it can be rampant for a while, its old nest has been destroyed, the foundation has been lost, and only the lone army is left to hang Jinzhou, then it will perish, and it can be waited for! ”

"Good, good. Xiandou has a plan to come and go, and it is very good! Huang Taiji said three good words in a row, and praised him: "I also believe that as long as Li Xiao can be dragged in Jinzhou, then Li Xiao's old nest Dengzhou, under the combined attack of my 100,000 troops entering the customs, will be difficult to resist, and it will be destroyed just around the corner." ”

"Please give an order from the imperial brother, the younger brother is willing to be the vanguard of the soldiers and horses, go to Jinzhou, and take the life of the dog of Nikan Li Xiao!" Duoduo was also excited, and he loudly asked Huang Taiji for his life.

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he said loudly: "Now since the main goal of our army is to get rid of the thief Li Xiao, then my whole army will return to Liaoxi, and there will be Xi Yi." Spread my order, the whole army pulled out the camp and went straight to Jinzhou, and Li Xiao must not be let go! ”

"Whew, minion obeys!"

At dawn the next day, the Qing army outside Jinzhou City set off from camp and returned to the Qing country in a mighty way.

The Qing army suddenly withdrew its troops and returned to China, which made the two brothers, Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi, who were stationed at the head of Jinzhou City, puzzled.

"Brother, why did this Qing captive suddenly retreat, but why?" Zu Dabi frowned, scratched his hair and asked.

Zu Dashou was also suspicious, he pondered for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head and said: "This, it is difficult to know for a brother, if you want to come to the Qing Kingdom, there will be a major civil strife." ”

Zu Dabi let out a long breath, and suddenly his face was full of lightness: "It's a good mess, they are in a mess, they have relieved us." These days, these guys have made a big noise every day, putting on the appearance of attacking Jinzhou, which has overwhelmed us. ”

Zu Dashou smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Alas, I hope so." I have been blessed by God for a long time. However, now that the pressure on Liaoxi is lifted, it is time for the imperial court to transfer Liaodong troops to help resist the Qing army entering the customs. ”

Zu Dabi snorted and said, "Then don't be afraid, as long as you don't fight in our Liaoxi." Now that the salary is so insufficient, this land in western Liaoxi is our foundation, and it can provide some military supplements, if the Qing army is lost, it will be a pity. As soon as the imperial court's will comes, my younger brother and I will lead the troops to help, so that we can play the prestige of our Liaodong soldiers. ”

Hearing Zu Dabi's generous words here after the Qing army retreated, Zu Dashou sighed in his heart, but finally encouraged him: "Okay, the second brother has this heart, and when the will of the imperial court comes, this soldier will lead the troops into the customs together with you and the supervisor Gao Da." ”

When Huang Taiji led the whole army, retreated from Liaoxi, and rushed to Jinzhou day and night, after several days of attack and sweeping, the entire territory of Jinzhou has been taken into the palm of Li Xiao's hands, and a total of more than 300 taels of gold, more than 20,000 taels of silver, and more than 100,000 stones of grain have been seized.

According to the statistics of the Department of Supervision and Pacification, the people in the villages and fields who had been captured from all parts of Jinzhou, plus all the people in the county seat of Jinxian, had recovered about 15,000 people, and now all of them have been collected on the ships of the sailors by the sea and are being transported to Shandong overnight.

Li Xiao, who captured Jinxian, is planning how to attack Fuzhou again.

Fuzhou City, historical origin, age, since the time of the Western Han Dynasty, has been the seat of the state capital and county, "Fuzhou" originated from the Liao Taizu God Book four years (AD 919), the Khitan destroyed the Bohai State, immigrated to southern Liaoning, set up Fuzhou, and later evolved as Fuzhou, in modern China, the place was renamed Wafangdian City, and the word Fuzhou, as a district under the jurisdiction of Wafangdian City.

Because in history, Fuzhou City is the cultural and economic and trade center of Wafangdian, it is a famous cultural city with a long history, because the ancient city has a long history, there are many places of interest and historic sites, the city has Yongfeng Temple built in the Tang Dynasty, Yongfeng Pagoda, the ancient tower of the Liao Dynasty, and the dragon claw ancient acacia that has been lush until the end of the Ming Dynasty, and a series of famous cultural relics.

The architectural layout of the whole Fuzhou City is also quite ingenious, the streets are criss-crossed, arranged in an orderly manner, with the Guandi Temple as the center, delineating four main streets in the east, west, north and south. There are many shops, halls and halls, and the walls are connected with ridges, which are very characteristic of ancient architecture. In Fuzhou City, there are also many temples of the Emperor Temple, Tianqi Temple, Yiyong Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Sanguan Temple, etc., so in June 2007, Fuzhou Town was listed as the first batch of "historical and cultural towns" by Liaoning Province. ”。

The land of Fuzhou, in the Ming Dynasty, has been an important location of guards since the development of Liaodong. It is only a pity that in the early years of Chongzhen, because Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, so that Dongjiang Town was in civil strife, and Huang Long, the general soldier of Dongjiang Town, considered that his own troops were seriously insufficient, so he took the initiative to abandon the city and only defend Jinzhou. It has been nearly ten years since the entire Fuzhou was occupied by the Qing army.

Thinking that this historical city, which is extremely prestigious in history, will be turned into ruins under his own hands, Li Xiao sighed in his heart, but the plan to take Fuzhou and turn it into a blank land has never changed.

For mercy to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself. If he wants to completely attack the Qing army, even a famous city like Shenyang, which has a very thick historical atmosphere, Li Xiao will not hesitate to completely destroy it, let alone a small Fuzhou.

At this time, Li Xiao was concentrating on listening to the information about Fuzhou City from the secret agents of the Security Division.

"Lord Li, according to our understanding, there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Qing army in this Fuzhou city, of which 1,500 are full soldiers, and the other 500 are Mongolian soldiers and horses. All the soldiers and horses are led by the Qing Dynasty clan, the grandson of Prince Li Daishan, the eldest son of Prince Sakhalian of the Late Ying, and the king of Kecheng County. ”

Hearing that it was Dai Shan's eldest grandson Adali, who led the army to garrison Fuzhou, Li Xiao couldn't help but have a sneer on his face.

Coming from later generations, he knew something about this Adali.

Adali is the eldest son of Sahali and the grandson of Daishan. In the first year of Chongde, after the death of his father, he inherited the lord of the county. Subsequently, this person went on expeditions with the army and made a lot of military achievements for the Qing court. Finally, he took charge of the ministry and participated in the discussion of politics.

It's just that in the eighth year of Chongde, because of the violent death of Huang Taiji, he and his uncle Shuotuo conspired to support Dolgon, the prince of Lirui, and was later denounced and sentenced to death for the crime of "disturbing national politics". On the night of the trial, Adali and Shuo were bound naked and escorted to the Yamen, where they were strangled to death along with Adali's mother and Shuo Trust's wife.

Li Xiao secretly thought that he was going to attack Fuzhou now, it depended on whether this Adali knew the current affairs, if he knew the current affairs and could surrender in time, then he could also make him the same as Er Bilun, although he was the identity of the Qing Dynasty clan, he could become a general of the Tang Army and serve himself. If he is stubborn, then Li Xiao will never be soft when he kills this clan king of the Qing Dynasty.

At dawn the next day, Li Xiao led all the soldiers and horses, left the county seat of Jinxian County, which had been burned into a white land, turned to the northwest, and headed for Fuzhou.

A day later, when he saw the Tang army's soldiers and horses coming from the distant horizon, Adali, the defender of Fuzhou City, gasped.

Although, when the Tang army was attacking Lushun that day, he also received an alarm from the cavalry sent by Wanyan Yechen, but Adaliwan did not expect that these Tang troops would be able to sweep away the defenders of Jinzhou in such a few days, and then attack their own Fuzhou City. The rapid progress of the Tang Army was really beyond his imagination.

Adali originally thought that the Tang army would come from afar and would build siege equipment on a large scale, and Wanyan Yechen would hold on to the city, which could be described as waiting for work, no matter what, with this well-stocked Lushun City, it could also be defended for about ten days. Unexpectedly, the Tang army completely pacified Jinzhou only five days later, and now, it has come to plot its own Fuzhou City.

What to do?

With only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, is it really the opponent of the Tang Army that is coming from all over the world?

Adali's face turned pale, and his heart was beating like a drum.
