Attack on Dalinghe City, belongs to a different from the general battle, to a certain extent, this battle, no less than the battle to exterminate the Liukou, the Ming Dynasty in Chongzhen four years, the battle of Dalinghe fiasco, who is still fresh in memory, and since the Wanli years, the Ming army and the Houjin Tartars confrontation, there are almost no major victories, even if it is two Ningyuan defense battles, everyone understands, that is the Ming army in the defensive situation, the victory, everything is in accordance with the Houjin measures to carry out, The matter of active conquest has not occurred for decades.

For such a big battle, intelligence is crucial.

Su Tiancheng and Huang Taiji will not ignore this aspect, and they will definitely increase their efforts.

To a certain extent, Huang Taiji has a certain advantage in intelligence warfare, and Huang Taiji realized the importance of intelligence warfare, and was willing to take out the money, expand the intelligence network, and continuously obtain relevant information, but Su Tiancheng's situation was different, and the way to obtain intelligence was a little difficult.

Because of the special circumstances of the Ming Dynasty, Su Tiancheng could not launch an intelligence war with great fanfare, not only could he not get the support of the emperor, but among the court, some pedantic ministers of civil and military affairs also believed that the conquest was upright, the righteous people would definitely be invincible, the conspiracy was not the work of the big husband, and the small trick of intelligence warfare would definitely not be adopted.

Of course, the civil servants who really lead the army in battle are very aware of the role of intelligence, and in some cases, the role of intelligence even exceeds that of the army, so a wise commander will do whatever it takes to search for intelligence.

Over the years, Huang Zaisheng's life has been still worrying. After being captured by Su Tiancheng that year, Huang Zaisheng chose to become a spy of the Ming Dynasty in order to be able to save his life and some redemption in the middle of his nature, spying on Hou Jin's intelligence, in fact, Huang Zaisheng has such an identity. It is very difficult to obtain the information of the upper echelons of Houjin, after all, in the eyes of the Houjin Manchurians, he is a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, without any discipline, what he sees in his eyes is gold and silver, and Huang's identity as a Shengshang Jia has confirmed this understanding.

After working hard for Su Tian, Huang Zaisheng's thoughts. There have been some changes, mainly because of the redemption of the heart, a place for catharsis, no matter what, I am a Han person, serving the Manchurians, the identity of the traitor is clear, and I can't get rid of it. Even if Houjin seized the world, his own identity. still dare not expose it, the power of Confucianism, Huang Zaisheng is very clear, if his identity is exposed, I am afraid that he will be chased and killed by many Han people.

For Su Tian's effectiveness, Huang Zaisheng did his best. As long as there is an opportunity to find out the intelligence, he has made efforts, and in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Eight Banners Army led by Azig suffered a crushing defeat in Daming. was cleaned up by the Jiangning battalion, and this battle made Huang Zaisheng see Su Tiancheng's ability, and began to firmly believe that Su Tiancheng must be able to turn the tide.

In order to be able to collect intelligence comprehensively, Huang Zaisheng gritted his teeth and moved to Shenyang, which is the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

All this he did was affirmed by Su Tiancheng, which was the driving force for Huang Zaisheng's efforts.

Spying on intelligence is not a trivial matter, and sometimes, it is necessary to risk your life,

After moving to Shenyang, after a period of exploration, Huang Zaisheng finally found the best way, that is, to make friends with the children of the Eight Banners, the shop he opened is a restaurant, and there are many children of the Eight Banners who come to eat and drink, through the chatting of these children of the Eight Banners, it is indeed possible to obtain a lot of information, of course, the identity of the children of the Eight Banners in Shenyang is different, the situation of eating and drinking for nothing is widespread, Huang Zaisheng can endure all this, so he has also established a relationship with many children of the Eight Banners, in this case, It's much easier to get information.

All the arrangements and arrangements of the Qing Dynasty, as long as they are known or heard, Huang Zaisheng reported them to Su Tiancheng one by one, and every month, someone specially went to the restaurant he opened to get information, as for how Su Tiancheng did it, this is not something that Huang Zaisheng needs to care about.

Su Tiancheng was appointed as the governor of Jiliao, almost all the officials of the Qing Dynasty knew about it, and Huang Zaisheng also knew about it, and after knowing the news, Huang Zaisheng worked harder, spying on all the information, and leaving a way back for himself.

Hard work pays off, and on this day, Huang Zaisheng's luck came.

A group of Eight Banners came to the hotel for dinner, Huang Zaisheng greeted him warmly as usual, what he didn't expect was that these Eight Banners were the Eight Banners Army of the Red Flag, and they were all officers.

After drinking too much, these people have no scruples when they speak, and they dare to say anything.

Because it was the children of the Eight Banners who came to eat, Huang Zaisheng personally served the wine, these people were very familiar with Huang Zaisheng, and they drank too much, so they didn't care so much, and when it came to the relevant arrangements of Dalinghe City.

When Huang Zaisheng was drinking, he heard it by chance, these Eight Banners disciples were still a little vigilant, after Huang Zaisheng came in, they stopped talking, Huang Zaisheng felt that the topic of these people's discussions must be very important, so, when he walked out of the room, Huang Zaisheng covered a gap and listened to the discussion inside.

For more than an hour, Huang Zaisheng heard a lot of information.

Huang Zaisheng, who couldn't hide his joy, immediately wrote down the relevant information, waiting for someone to come to get the information, this time, Huang Zaisheng specially entrusted, this time the information is very important, and it must be sent out immediately.

In the past, when someone came to get information or bring instructions, Huang Zaisheng nodded and listened silently, not saying a word, but this time, Huang Zaisheng said the request, which also attracted the attention of the other party.

Huang Zaisheng Zhilu said that his goal was achieved.

People are selfish, and Huang Zaisheng is also thinking about his future, thinking of his family, and thinking of his future.

Su Tiancheng received this information, and it was only three days before and after.

The distance between Shenyang and Ningyuan City is only more than 600 miles, and if it is a fast horse, it will only take two days.

In this regard, the views of the Ming and the Houjin are highly unified, and they will not intervene in a special way, so as long as the merchants have a special relationship, they can still shuttle between the two places.

It is through these merchants that information is transmitted.

The information obtained this time aroused Su Tiancheng's great attention.

Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande and Qu Qingze all arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

There is information on the table, although everyone has not read it, but they also know that this information is extraordinary, all the preparations for the attack on Dalinghe City have begun to be arranged, the Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Jinzhou City are almost empty, and the Guanning Army stationed in Shanhaiguan has transferred 50,000 people to Jinzhou City, and these transfers mean that the deployment of attacking Dalinghe City has been fully rolled out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the information I just received, according to this information, we learned a very important news, Houjin sent 30,000 people to garrison Dalinghe City, and the rest of the Eight Banners Tartars are also waiting for the Dan, once there is a problem in Dalinghe City, the Eight Banners will be dispatched to reinforce Dalinghe City, it seems that Huang Taiji's meaning must be to keep Dalinghe City, and we also learned an important information, if the Houjin sergeants can't hold Dalinghe City, they are likely to take extreme measures, Destroy the entire Dalinghe City and take the opportunity to break through. ”

After finishing talking about the situation reflected in the information, Su Tiancheng looked at everyone.

"Tell me how we should deal with this situation."

Such a question naturally needs to be answered by Hong Chengchou.

However, Hong Chengchou's answer this time was a little ambiguous.

"My lord, everything is subject to the arrangement."

Su Tiancheng couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that this kind of dependence is not only the existence of the officers under the Jiangning battalion, but also Hong Chengchou, but the situation is also special, everyone just learned about the information, and it is indeed a little difficult to make a judgment suddenly.

"Well, my consideration is that no matter what kind of arrangements Houjin makes, we will still proceed according to the original plan, but there is one thing, all the soldiers must be clear, that is, the time when we capture Dalinghe City, it must be within the required time, we will not care about the reinforcements of Houjin, before their reinforcements arrive, we must take Dalinghe City, this sentence is very simple to say, but to really do it, it may not be so simple, This requires us to be fully prepared, and if we do not move, we will achieve real victory. ”

Qu Qingze stayed.

"Lao Qu, the information sent by Huang Zaisheng recently is still good, it seems that Huang Zaisheng's idea has really changed, do you think we should treat Huang Zaisheng."

Qu Qingze paused slightly.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that it is still necessary to reward, no matter what Huang Zaisheng's situation was before, at least now he can wholeheartedly provide us with information, from this aspect, it should still be rewarded, if we can have such an intelligence network in Shenyang in Houjin, and obtain comprehensive information, it will be very beneficial for future expeditions."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"Hehe, Lao Qu, if you can have such an understanding, I can rest assured, Huang Taiji can give Kong Youde and others the title of king and lord, can we not think of a good way, some understanding is very pedantic, for spies are deeply hated, these people are too idealistic, we can't learn, some people can sit and talk about it, but we can't, we are doing things specifically, we need to face the bloody actual situation."
