Qu Qingze came to Liaodong, there is almost no time to rest and adjust, the intelligence war between the Ming Dynasty and Houjin, he needs to be fully responsible, whether he can achieve the final victory, all the responsibilities are on his shoulders, the expedition will start in August, there is still a month or so, during this time, the focus depends on him to operate, the deployment of the army, about to be carried out, how to make the Houjin Tartars confused during this time, it is not clear the ultimate purpose of the transfer of the army, or let the Houjin Tartars believe that the direction of the key attack is in Liaodong, It's a drain on energy.

The whereabouts of Tang Haitai and Kang Tai, Qu Qingze knows it very clearly, even the details.

After a comprehensive analysis, Qu Qingze believed that the intelligence war could begin.

This decisive battle with the Houjin Tartars, its importance is needless to say, the Jiangning battalion not only has to win the final victory, but also to preserve its strength as much as possible, and can not suffer too many losses, otherwise the things behind it will not be easy to do, the imperial court has long thought clearly in this regard, the army of the Golden Tartars who participated in the conquest is not much, all of them are 240,000, the army in the south has not been mobilized at all, and the total strength of the Golden Tartars has reached more than 300,000 people, the strategic decisive battle of the Ming Dynasty, There has never been such a situation, and the number of soldiers in charge of the expedition is less than that of the opponent.

In the final analysis, because the Jiangning camp is too strong, it threatens the emperor, and the court also believes that with the Jiangning camp and the border army, it is possible to defeat the Houjin Tartars, as for whether to completely defeat the Houjin Tartars, it is estimated that the emperor and the court do not have such confidence.

Accurate intelligence, its role is huge, after so many expeditions, Qu Qingze has long known this.

Qu Qingze's time in Liaodong. It won't be very long, and when the Jiangning battalion attacks from the direction of Haizhou, he will have to leave, after all, wartime intelligence is more important.

After Lu Xiangsheng entered the wing, Qu Qingze did not hesitate and immediately spoke.

"Lord Lu. Xia Guan thought that he could start moving. ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, he was discussing this matter with Qu Qingze, but Lu Xiangsheng was not too sure about how to act, he was not very familiar with the operation method of intelligence, and seeing that the transfer of the Liaodong border army was about to start, he really couldn't delay time.

"Master Qu, this official is here to discuss these things. The mobilization of the Liaodong army is about to take place, and the matter of raising money and grain is already underway, and there are some things that may not be hidden, even the merchants of Liaodong will notice the abnormality. There are two main concerns about this officer. ”

Qu Qingze nodded and did not speak.

"The first aspect of the worry. It is the transfer of the Yulin battalion and the border army in Liaodong, the garrison sergeants left in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan are only 10,000, and the garrison sergeants in Jinzhou and Dalinghe City are only 8,000 people, as for Montenegro and Yizhou. It is very good to be able to leave more than 1,000 sergeants, so that the sergeants stationed in the entire Guanningjin defense line are 20,000 people. The rest of the army will all participate in the attack, if this news leaks out, Houjin Tatars abandon Guangning, and even temporarily ignore the safety of Shenyang, storm the Ningjin defense line, and directly threaten the capital, then it will be troublesome. ”

"The second concern is that the transfer of the Liaodong army must be operated by the governor of the yamen, and some of the officials of the governor yamen are aware of the transfer of the Dao, but Tang Haitai and the officials of the governor's yamen generally have a good relationship, and it is possible to obtain this information, if it is really leaked, it will be a big deal."

"In addition to these two worries, how to convince Houjin Tatar that the direction of the army's main attack is in Liaodong is also quite a headache, if you can't achieve this goal, leaving Tang Haitai and Kangtai behind, even if you are cocooned."

In front of Qu Qingze, Lu Xiangsheng spoke very directly, he would not beat around the bush, what he said was the actual situation, there was nothing exaggerated, these problems could not be solved very well, nothing was easy to do, it was impossible to let the Houjin Tartar be confused, so that the governor's yamen could not operate.

After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, the smile on Qu Qingze's face also disappeared.

"My lord, this time the decisive battle between my Daming and the Houjin Tartars is very important, and there can be no negligence, when I was in Dengzhou, Lord Su specially ordered, sometimes, in order to be able to achieve the goal, you might as well make some sacrifices, the consideration of the lower officials, Liaodong is not the main place to attack, but its own deployment must not be leaked out, otherwise Liaodong is in a passive position, and the entire campaign will be greatly affected, so these worries of the adults must be solved in a way."

"The opinion of the lower official, the governor of the yamen for the time being do not know the true situation of the road, including the situation of the deployment of the army, this time the lord issued the order, can take a different way, the order issued on the surface is a fake order after the lower official and the lord have consulted, in order to confuse the Houjin Tartar, and the order that really needs to be carried out is issued to the commanders stationed in Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Dalinghe City, Montenegro and Yizhou in the form of secret letters, before the order is issued, a meeting can be held to clarify this opinion, Let all commanders act according to the requirements of the secret letter. ”

"In order to make the Houjin Tartars really confused, sometimes, the adjustment of the Liaodong army still needs to do some useless work, such as strengthening the defense of Yizhou and Montenegro, such a defense is to allow the Jiangning battalion to come to Liaodong, so that it is convenient to start the expedition immediately, as long as these actions are done, I believe that the Houjin Tartars will definitely be fooled."

"If the Houjin Tartars are fooled, the first battle of the Houjin Tartars will be much smoother, once the Emperor Taiji of the Houjin learns of the deployment of my army, he will definitely strengthen the defense of Guangning and Xiping Fort, and transfer a part of the sergeants stationed in Haizhou and other places, Shenyang will also pay special attention to the situation in Liaodong, and the defense deployment in Haizhou and other places will be relatively weakened, and when the army really begins to conquer Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, it will be too late for the Houjin Tartars to transfer the army."

"Xia Guan thinks that this goal must be achieved, and only in this way can we ensure that the first battle will be won."

When Qu Qingze spoke, Lu Xiangsheng nodded frequently, and after Qu Qingze finished speaking, he also spoke immediately.

"The meaning of Lord Qu, this official understands, that is to say, the officials of the governor's yamen do not know the true information of Lu Dao, every time he issues an order to transfer the army, there are two letters, public and private, the open letter is the content that needs to be known to the Houjin Tartars, and the non-public letter is what really needs to be implemented, such an operation method will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, isn't it too hard for Lord Qu."

"This is nothing, as long as you can complete the task, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth it, from the current situation, the Houjin Tartars have begun to move, the emperor's will, the Houjin Tartars know, they must be very strange, for what is the delay in the action of our army, at this time, they are very worried, considering when our army will act, where to attack first, in order to be able to grasp this information, they must highly value Tang Haitai and Kangtai, looking forward to obtaining valuable information from here, Shenyang is not very far from Guangning and Haizhou, as long as information is obtained, it is too late to temporarily adjust the deployment. ”

After saying this, Qu Qingze paused for a moment and said another thing to worry about.

"Lord Lu, the lower officials found something unusual, I don't know what the road is for, the Japanese who entered Liaodong and Dengzhou, suddenly there are more and more of them, this situation is worth paying great attention to, the Japanese are unruly, they have harassed my Ming border pass, so many years have passed, they are afraid that they will covet my Ming wealth, thinking of fishing in troubled waters, Lord Su has noticed this situation, Lord Su is most worried about the Houjin Tatars colluding with the Japanese Kou."

"Master Su once summed up that when the Liukou were plundering, as long as the army of my court launched an encirclement and suppression, so that the Liukou were in danger, the Houjin Tartars had action, and several times they forced the army that undertook the task of exterminating the Liukou to Liaodong to deal with the Houjin Tartars, or to protect the capital, so that the Liukou could not be exterminated for a long time, and now that my Ming Dynasty is basically stable, the Houjin Tartars cannot find a chance, will they collude with the Japanese Kou, harass them along the coast of my Ming Dynasty, and even directly participate in the conquest."

"Master Su said, if such a situation occurs, it will never be forgiven, colluding with aliens to deal with my Daming, that is betraying the ancestors, and it is not too much to cut with a thousand knives."

"Xiaguan has not been in Liaodong for a long time, at most twenty days, he will leave here and return to Dengzhou, in order to be able to smoothly confuse Houjin Tartar, Xiaguan has listed the action plan, including some details of the operation, please look at it, if there is no objection, it will be implemented in accordance with this method."

After Qu Qingze finished speaking, he took out the plan written on the table and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately looked at it seriously, looked very carefully, and was still pondering during the period.

After more than half an hour, a smile appeared on Lu Xiangsheng's face.

"Master Qu, this plan is very detailed, and it can be operated in accordance with the content of the plan, and the official will arrange the layout, according to the content of the plan, the official believes that as long as the implementation is in place, the Houjin Tartar will definitely be fooled."

"Xiaguan Xie Lu Xie Lu's trust, Xiaguan has no problems here, and he is fully prepared."

"Don't say that, Lord Qu, this is your own business, if you don't do it well, you can't explain it to the court, let alone Lord Su."

When Lu Xiangsheng said this, the muscles on Qu Qingze's face twitched slightly, he didn't know if Lu Xiangsheng said this intentionally, or unintentionally, could he have noticed something. (To be continued......)
