(Thank you for the old horse's sky, just love you V Wei, fat eagle, baby cat bear voted for the precious monthly ticket, thank you for not choosing the middle route for the reward, thank you.) ）

Overnight, the Houjin Tartars withdrew, and they were cleanly evacuated, this situation caught Hong Chengchou who was stationed in Liaodong off guard, Hong Chengchou of Dalinghe City, Chen Xinjia and Zu Dale of Ningyuan, Qin Liangyu, Qian Qianyi, and Zu Dashou of Shanhaiguan were all dumbfounded, and they didn't know why such a situation would occur in Lu Dao.

It should be said that when Huang Taiji divided his troops to attack Shanhaiguan, between Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, the news began to be able to be transmitted, especially the news of Dalinghe City and Jinzhou, which was able to reach Shanhaiguan, this is actually Huang Taiji's special arrangement, Huang Taiji's idea is that the Ming army in Liaodong is needed to be able to reinforce Shanhaiguan.

Zu Dashou knew the news of Zu Dabi's donation, locked himself in the house, for a whole day, there was such a huge fiasco in Liaodong, he knew that he was also responsible, and he also unconditionally supported Chen Xinjia at the beginning, if it wasn't for his own support, where would there be so many things later, in fact, Zu Dashou also thought too much, even if he didn't support Chen Xinjia, what should happen still has to happen. It's just that Zu Dabi donated his life, and Zu Dashou was in pain in his heart, and he inevitably blamed himself.

After Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi and others returned to Ningyuan City, they did not interfere in the defense of Liaodong, and they would not continue to interfere. Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi knew that they were not qualified to continue to talk nonsense, although the imperial court had not yet issued an edict to remove them from their positions, but it was a matter of time.

When the scouts were able to leave Dalinghe City and go to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to deliver the news. Hong Chengchou did not hesitate to send scouts, risking great danger, rushed to Shanhaiguan, whether this was a plan set by Huang Taiji or not, Hong Chengchou must also know the situation of Lu Dao, all the news gathered in Dalinghe City, Hong Chengchou did not react for a long time.

Of the 100,000 troops, there were only more than 30,000 people who returned to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. If it weren't for Zu Dashou's quick response, the 20,000 border troops guarding Yizhou would also be the fate of annihilation.

Hong Chengchou knew it. There were only 130,000 soldiers stationed in Liaodong, including 30,000 soldiers from the Jiangning battalion. With 20,000 soldiers of the Yulin Battalion, 30,000 soldiers of the Beijing Battalion, and the remaining 50,000 border troops, with these strengths, the problem of garrisoning Liaodong is not very big, but now is a very moment. Houjin Tartar carried a huge victory, as well as an indomitable momentum, which is not something that 130,000 soldiers can contend with, and Huang Taiji was far-sighted and resolutely decided to attack Shanhaiguan. took the lifeblood of Liaodong, so that the soldiers of the Ming army stationed in the rest of the places had to go to reinforce Shanhaiguan.

The Beijing camp stationed in the capital has sent 30,000 soldiers to Shanhaiguan.

When Huang Taiji led the army to Shanhaiguan, it was the most difficult day for Hong Chengchou, whether to stick to Dalinghe City or decide to defend Shanhaiguan, he had to make a decision, and the Ming army in Liaodong was also waiting for his order.

After all the Houjin Tartars withdrew from Liaodong, Hong Chengchou was very strange, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, the Houjin Tartars evacuated for a day, the army was still sticking to the city, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, Hong Chengchou sent scouts to reconnoiter intelligence, and at the same time sent multiple scouts to Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to see what the situation was.

After dark, the scout came to report that the Houjin Tartar had indeed withdrawn, and there was no trace of the scout in the place of twenty miles away from Dalinghe City, and it was estimated that the Houjin Tartar returned to Montenegro and was stationed there.

Hong Chengchou almost thought he had misheard.

Two days later, Zu Dale came to Dalinghe City.

After meeting Hong Chengchou, Zu Dale's eyes turned red, and after meeting Hong Chengchou, Zu Dale told in detail about the situation of this campaign, including the attack on Montenegro, Yizhou, and later the ambush in Ningyuan.

Hong Chengchou's face turned black when he heard it, he really didn't understand, the strategy of the Houjin Tartars was not so fine, from the perspective of the process of the conquest, there were many problems in this, Chen Xinjia should have found it, and Zu Dashou had already put it forward, the early expedition was smooth, was there any plan in the Houjin, Chen Xinjia actually couldn't listen to it, and he also thought that after capturing Ningyuan, he would send elite soldiers to threaten Shenyang, could it be that Chen Xinjia really didn't know that the Houjin Tartars were not so weak.

After Zu Dale finished speaking, Hong Chengchou unceremoniously asked a few questions, including the situation of each discussion, the situation of the army, etc., and when he couldn't help it, Hong Chengchou even directly reprimanded Zu Dale, and he also knew that these things had nothing to do with Zu Dale, and everything was determined by Chen Xinjia.

For Zu Dabi's donation, Hong Chengchou was very moved, Zu Dabi let the border army go out, so that they would not be completely annihilated, and would not let the commander of the army, Chen Xinjia, fall into the hands of the Houjin Tartars, this is a matter that makes the emperor and the court lose face, from this aspect, Zu Dabi has made great contributions.

Zu Dale also raised a question, for what was the sudden withdrawal of the Golden Tartar, what problems existed here.

Hong Chengchou didn't know what to do, but he felt that such a situation must have a direct relationship with Su Tiancheng, and the only one who could make the Houjin Tartar withdraw was probably Su Tiancheng.

The tragic scene in Liaodong reflected by Zu Dale and the scouts made Hong Chengchou even more convinced that there must be something wrong with the Houjin Tartars, to say that Huang Taiji personally led the army to come to the expedition, there would not be such a crazy move, unless it was a major loss, but this kind of loss could not be possible in Liaodong.

When such a situation occurred in Liaodong, it was said that he was about to report to the imperial court, Hong Chengchou was very cautious, and asked Zu Dale to be responsible for coordinating and commanding the defense of Dalinghe City, and he could not be negligent in the slightest, and he quickly rushed to Ningyuan City with his own soldiers.

Dalinghe City is more than two hundred miles away from Ningyuan, and it took Hong Chengchou a day and a night to arrive.

The tragic scene along the way was shocking, all the crops in the fields were destroyed, the houses of the common people were burned to the black, it was impossible to continue to live in them, and occasionally the corpses of the people who did not have time to flee could be seen, some of the corpses had become swollen and began to rot, the unpleasant stench was permeating the surroundings, and packs of wild dogs were wandering around, their eyes were red, and at a glance they knew that they had eaten the corpses.

There are no people on the road, no living people can be seen, such a scene, Hong Chengchou has seen a lot, but over the years, Liaodong is quite calm, he has not experienced such a cruel slaughter for a long time, suddenly saw, it is still very uncomfortable, these people, should be protected by the army, but because of the failure of this expedition, the people have suffered, you can see that for a long time, the people will not come to Liaodong.

rushed to Ningyuan City, Hong Chengchou quickly went to the governor's yamen.

Seeing Hong Chengchou again, Chen Xinjia's spirit is even more decadent, his original thoughts, now it seems, is simply to destroy Liaodong, ruined the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for Hong Chengchou leading the Jiangning camp, sticking to Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, I don't know what Lu Dao is like now, if he really loses Liaodong and Shanhaiguan, I'm afraid Chen Xinjia doesn't have to think about the court to apologize, and he will commit suicide directly.

Hong Chengchou didn't care about this, no matter what, Chen Xinjia is still the governor of Liaodong, the imperial court did not remove Chen Xinjia from the governor's position, many things, he must directly discuss with Chen Xinjia, of course, the current position is a little different, the so-called consultation, in fact, is the relevant suggestions put forward by Hong Chengchou, Chen Xinjia will definitely not object.

"My lord, my subordinates came all the way from Dalinghe City, and all the golden tartars have withdrawn, my subordinates are very strange, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, I came to discuss with my lord, and see how to report to the imperial court."

"Lord Hong, the matter of Liaodong, I am embarrassed to continue to speak, this time the fiasco has led to such a big crisis in Liaodong, and now the crisis has not been eliminated, I have written to the emperor to write a note, waiting for the disposal of the imperial court, and when the situation in Liaodong is temporarily stable, I will go directly to the capital."

"Your Excellency doesn't have to say that, there is such a situation in Liaodong, people don't want to, and now there is still a huge danger in Liaodong, adults should cheer up and think about how to do a good defense."

Chen Xinjia shook his head.

"Thank you Lord Hong for your comfort, this matter of Liaodong's defense, please ask Lord Hong to decide."

Hong Chengchou is a little helpless, Chen Xinjia is now like this, and he wants to continue to decide the affairs of Liaodong, the possibility is not very large, but to decide all the matters in Liaodong by himself, it is not justifiable, but at such a time, it is not necessary to shirk, no matter how the court pursues responsibility, it is necessary to ensure that Liaodong cannot be missed, Chen Xinjia's attitude, Hong Chengchou is a little despised by this, since he has suffered a failure, after returning to Ningyuan, as long as the emperor's decree has not come down, he needs to take responsibility, Do your best to maintain the situation in Liaodong.

A day later, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion in charge of intelligence liaison sent a letter, which was directly addressed to Hong Chengchou, who took the letter and immediately found that it was a letter written by Su Tiancheng, and he couldn't wait to open the letter.

Looking at it, Hong Chengchou's face was flushed with excitement, and he couldn't help but stand up, no wonder all the Tartars who attacked Liaodong were withdrawn, no wonder the Houjin Tartars killed the people, it turned out that all the reasons were because of the Jiangning camp in Dengzhou, Su Tianguo was naturally arranged, and it hit the sore spot of the Houjin Tartars, so that the Houjin Tartars had to pay attention.
