When the messenger who came in a panic and hurried heard this, he was slightly flustered, what is the urgent report from Zhenjiang Fort?

However, he immediately put this thought behind him, and ignored the commander of the guards, and in a hurry, before he got close, he knelt down on one knee, tied up a horse, and hurriedly said: "Liaoyang is in danger, please send reinforcements as soon as possible......"

Seeing that the messenger ignored him, he was originally a little angry, but as soon as he heard the messenger's words, all of a sudden, that bit of anger was immediately thrown out of the clouds. He was also a little panicked for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look at his master.

I saw that Huang Taiji shook his body when he heard this, and he almost didn't stand firm, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted: "What's going on in Liaoyang, what is the situation?" ”

At this time, he didn't think that he couldn't wait to interrupt the messenger's words, but let him know the details later.

"Ming Army...... The Ming army continued to drive over from Anshan Post Fort, and Lord Belle immediately sent his minions to ask for help! "This is the first messenger Amin has sent, and I really don't know the details.

After figuring out the reason, Huang Taiji didn't have time to complain about anything. Immediately issue a decree and convene an emergency military meeting. Then, he wandered back and forth at the gate of the Chongzheng Palace, like a fox whose tail was burned by fire, so anxious that he didn't know what to do there!

"What's going on, what the hell does Sony eat?" Huang Taiji's expression was very worried, and at the same time very angry, "Even a Cao Wenzhao can't say that he can't move, but he says that the Ming army is coming?" I didn't see how this Sony could be so useless......"

"Is Amin so old and confused that he didn't find out until the Ming army approached the city?" Huang Taiji's face became a little hideous, "Could it be that this guy has reached such a time, and he still wants to be embarrassed and want me to look good?" Deliberately giving me a problem? ”

……

After he thought about it for a while, Dai Shan, Jilharang and others hurried over. At this time, the Chongzheng Hall completely lost the relaxed atmosphere it had before, and it was heavy and depressed, and anxiety and panic permeated the Chongzheng Palace.

At this time, these Manchu slave chiefs all left the matter of Zhenjiang Fort behind. It is really Liaoyang that is much more important than Zhenjiang Fort. Zhenjiang Fort can be lost, but Liaoyang must not be lost.

The questions that Huang Taiji had also appeared in the minds of Dai Shan and others. They couldn't figure it out, why did the situation in Liaoyang, which they felt a little stable, suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse?

If it is said that the reinforcements of North Korea's Seoul, they still have to think about whether to reinforce or not, then Liaoyang's side, they have not discussed whether to reinforce at all, because there is only one answer, Liaoyang must not be lost, otherwise the Ming army will definitely come to Shenyang!

While they were hurriedly discussing and speculating about Liaoyang's military situation, the second group of messengers sent by Amin arrived.

"What? The Ming army has hundreds of Hongyi cannons? Dai Shan confirmed in shock.

"What? Is the coach of the Ming army Lu Xiangsheng? Huang Taiji was also shocked, but his focus was different from Dai Shan's, and he said loudly, "How is this possible, didn't he lead his troops to attack Seoul in Korea?" ”

At the same time, Zilharang was also asking, "There are about 20,000 people in the Ming army?" The Dongjiang Army, the New Army, and the Guanning Army all have it? ”

The messenger felt that his father and mother had given him a few mouths, and he couldn't answer at all, so he had no choice but to reply and confirm according to his official position.

After understanding the specific battle situation on the Liaoyang side, Huang Taiji suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "This should be Lu Xiangsheng's trick, dangling a shot, making me think that he was going to attack Hancheng in North Korea, divert the tiger from the mountain, and let Liaodong send reinforcements to North Korea, and he himself immediately gathered heavy troops to plot against Liaoyang!" ”

"Your Majesty, maybe Fan Wencheng's people have a ghost and deliberately reported us a false news, so that we can mobilize my Liaodong army!" When Dai Shan said that, he felt that this possibility was very high, so he said sharply, "It must be the case, otherwise Lu Xiangsheng would not dare to come to attack Shenyang with only 20,000 horses, he is sure that this fake news can come to Shenyang!" ”

At this time, even Jierharang, who has always been relatively steady, disregarded the etiquette in front of the emperor, and rushed to say his judgment: "It is also possible that Lu Xiangsheng learned that Sony went to negotiate peace, and in order to achieve his goal, Liaoyang withdrew his horses." That Lu Xiangsheng is a person who is both civil and military, and he is also the feudal official of the Ming Kingdom, with such a good opportunity, even if he denies the peace talks, he will instead send troops to attack Liaoyang. As long as Liaoyang City is taken by him, even if Master Ming Guojing knows the details afterwards, he will not blame him for making his own decisions! ”

……

These Manchu leaders in the Chongzheng Palace, all of whom were born in war, expressed their opinions according to the messenger's proclamation.

To sum up, after Lu Xiangsheng heard the news of the peace negotiation of the Qing Dynasty, he did not think about the peace negotiation, but took advantage of the peace negotiation and released false news first, so that the Qing Dynasty could send troops to rescue North Korea to reduce the difficulty of attacking Liaoyang. Then he took advantage of the "sincerity" of the Qing Dynasty to negotiate peace and deceived Liaoyang to withdraw Tanma to the city, so as to facilitate the march of his army and give Liaoyang a surprise attack, so that he could have the greatest possibility to lay Liaoyang, the gateway to Shenyang.

After sorting out his thoughts, Huang Taiji almost gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I expected Lu Xiangsheng to be a cunning person, but I didn't expect it to be so cunning!" This person is terrible, really terrible! ”

Speaking of this, his face looked a little hideous, he glanced at the ministers below, and said sharply: "Lu Xiangsheng definitely didn't expect that our Great Qing Dynasty would suddenly send peace talks, in order to seize this fighter in time, he temporarily went to battle, he must have done in a hurry, but he was desperate." The three Ming armies, the Dongjiang Army, the Guanning Army, and the New Army, were all assembled, and I dared to expect that this was all the troops that Lu Xiangsheng could gather on the front line. In order to capture Liaoyang in one fell swoop, he even carried hundreds of Hongyi cannons, which is why he didn't want to give me time for the rescue of the Qing Dynasty! He can gamble once, and if he wants to defeat Liaoyang, won't I go out once and annihilate Lu Xiangsheng's attacking Ming army under Liaoyang City? ”

Listening to his words, many Manchu leaders saw the implicit favorable factors, and immediately agreed with them all. After all, Liaoyang can't help it, if the Ming army fights steadily and gathers heavy troops, then the Qing Dynasty may really have no choice; And now, they all feel that at least the Qing Dynasty still has some strength!

Seeing that the courtiers all agreed, Huang Taiji no longer hesitated, and immediately shouted in a categorical tone: "I have decided to take out all the stored grain, and all the troops of the Qing Dynasty will gather and go out to fight. In this battle, I have no way out! ”

"Wow!" The Manchu ministers in the Chongzheng Palace, all with solemn and tragic expressions, shouted loudly and responded to Huang Taiji.

If you don't take out all the food stocks, you won't be able to send reinforcements at all. And taking out all the stored grain means that the consumption of grain, there will be a period of time before the autumn harvest, and there will be no food to eat at all. Unless this battle can be won, the supplies of the Ming army are captured.

In the past, there was also an oolong, which made the Qing Dynasty make a big move, but in the end it was just a waste of money and food. But this time is different, Lu Xiangsheng personally led the army to besiege Liaoyang, and when other details are combined, there will definitely be no fake.

"Assemble immediately, early tomorrow morning, we must go out!" Huang Taiji stood up as soon as he slapped the imperial case, and shouted loudly, "In the battle of life and death in the Qing Dynasty, Zhuqing should fight bravely to kill the enemy and fight to the death!" ”

"Fight to the death!" Many of the Manchu leaders responded almost in unison, impassionedly and loudly.

Just as everyone was about to go back to prepare, Zilharang, who had arrived at the door, suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to stop the others, and said, "Wait! ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised, and they didn't know what he meant?

Huang Taiji was also puzzled and looked up at him.

I saw that Zierharang's face showed a little suspicion, and he bowed to Huang Taiji and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen suddenly felt a little strange, it stands to reason that if Lu Xiangsheng wants to take Liaoyang with confidence, he will definitely think about the issue of reinforcements." And the easiest way is to send troops to cut off the connection between Liaoyang and Shenyang, and the messengers for help can't reach Shenyang, so isn't it more appropriate? ”

As soon as they heard this, the others suddenly shook slightly, and when they looked back, it seemed that it did make sense.

Huang Taiji's brows furrowed, and he also fell into thought.

When Zilharang saw it, he explained again: "In the past few years, Weichen has seen Lu Xiangsheng's methods, this person is scheming, and he really can't be guarded against, I'm afraid that he has some conspiracy waiting for me to clear up!" ”

These Manchu leaders naturally don't know that Lu Xiangsheng is actually just an executor, and it is more that Emperor Chongzhen provides military information behind his back, organizes military discussions, coordinates the army, guarantees logistics, etc., otherwise they would not have said so.

Hearing Zilharang's words, the other Manchu leaders couldn't help but agree. Even Huang Taiji was no longer silent, and immediately issued an order to send a messenger from Liaoyang again to ask for details.

The first messenger's reply was that it was true that there was no interception at night, but there were not many of them, and it was easy to get rid of them.

The second messenger's reply was more tragic. On the way to Shenyang to report the news, his companions, who were escorting him, desperately stopped the Ming army who tried to stop them. Later, the messenger was already excited and tearful: "Your Majesty, without their sacrifice to intercept it, it would be impossible for the slaves to send the news safely. Everyone is looking forward to reinforcements, otherwise Liaoyang will not be protected...... Woowoo"

At this moment, no one blames the messenger for his rudeness, they all understand that this time the Ming army is attacking in a big way, and all the Qing soldiers understand that this is the battle for the survival of the Qing Dynasty, and no one has a way to retreat, only to sacrifice their lives and forget to die!

In the man's whining, the tragic atmosphere of the end of the road permeated the Chongzheng Palace.

After a while, Dai Shan sighed and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lu Xiangsheng sent troops to attack Liaoyang temporarily, although there are also messengers who do not accept and intercept at night, but after all, it is urgent and sudden, and it is impossible to cover everything. Moreover, Amin reacted quickly and sent a messenger as soon as possible. Taken together, it is not surprising that this is the case today. This point is also enough to explain the difficulty of sending letters from Liaoyang messengers one after another. If Lao Chen's expectations are good, Liaoyang is afraid that the third batch of messengers will not be sent. ”

When Huang Taiji and the others heard this, they nodded unconsciously, and they recognized this statement. Zilharang walked up to the messenger, reached out to help the messenger who was crying on his knees, patted him on the shoulder, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, only sighed slightly.

Huang Taiji watched, and was also silent for a while, and then decided: "Zhuqing will go back and prepare according to what was discussed before, and I will also send a horse to investigate, if there is no messenger arriving before tomorrow morning, there will be no delay and rescue Liaoyang immediately!" ”

"Wow!" The Manchu leaders in the hall responded in unison again, and then finally dispersed out of the Chongzheng Palace.

Soon, the city of Liaoyang became more noisy, but it was no longer the sound of cheers and celebrations, but the sound of people shouting and neighing. Many Jianyu couldn't understand why there was a great victory one moment ago, and Liaoyang was in danger the next moment, and the Qing Emperor needed to lead the troops of the country to rush to the rescue.

For this situation, Huang Taiji has no heart to care, he wants to drive the expedition in person, although it is much simpler than Emperor Chongzhen, but there are still many things to deal with. When night fell, and he didn't get a messenger, he knew that he didn't need to send out a horse to return, and it was estimated that Liaoyang was completely uncontactable.

After getting the news reported on the road, Huang Taiji couldn't help sighing. Lu Xiangsheng's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain was useful after all. The elites of the two Yellow Flags were taken away by Hauge. And in order to hurry, the war horses were also taken away. Now that the reinforcements that can be gathered here in Shenyang City, there are not many cavalry troops available!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hate Fan Wencheng again, he usually behaves like Zhuge Liang, but once he really does things, he always has problems. also lost that he valued him, and did not hesitate to use a king with a different surname to motivate him. Now it's a good thing, after he went to Guannai with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, he has not been heard from, and the so-called help to install himself in the Ming army in Liaodong has brought a serious shortage of troops to the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng, damn it!

If Fan Wencheng in the eighteenth layer of hell knew that he was so worried about Huang Taiji, he didn't know if he would regret it?

By the early morning of the next day, almost all the Manchu soldiers had already assembled outside Shenyang. At this time, Shenyang City was almost an empty city. Originally, there were old and weak women and children, but in order to save food, they were all sent to North Korea.

Huang Taiji was also dressed in military uniform, looking at the more than 20,000 soldiers who had come together, he slowly glanced over, and saw these Qing soldiers, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, and some of them were like a bamboo pole.

But no matter what, this is a national war, so we have to gather the greatest strength, increase the weight of victory, and fight for the survival of the Qing Dynasty.
