Chapter 351: Flying Horse Herald

Time passed slowly, and it came to October of the ninth year of Chongzhen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, in the guerrilla general's mansion in Ulzhou City, it was as quiet as night, and Xiao Yi had been sitting on the table for more than an hour.

I kept looking through the documents in various places in the past month, and the more I looked at it, the more I frowned and sighed.

In this month, Cao Wenzhao was not idle, leading thousands of cavalry of the Liaodong Army and the officials and troops of various towns in Yansui to fight fiercely with thieves everywhere, and finally exterminated one of them a few days ago, and reported the victory to the Beijing Division.

After the First World War in Liaodong, the imperial court re-began to pay attention to the role of Dalinghe City, and under the order of Emperor Chongzhen, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers re-settled in the forts around Dalinghe City.

Scattered around Dalinghe City, it has become a front-line barrier, and there are great victories ahead, and it looks like a solid defense.

……

Houjin's side is not optimistic, following the defeat of Ning Jin, and ushered in this Linghe defeat, although it did not lose much, but the military spirit of winning a hundred battles was seriously frustrated.

After the war, Huang Taiji did not believe this kind of war report at all, and personally led the yellow flag to Dalinghe City to observe, and found that the original Tunbao abandoned by the Ming army was occupied by it again, and Dalinghe City was also densely covered with banners, and Aha Tan in the city reported that there were tens of thousands of Ming troops stationed.

Even if Huang Taiji was unwilling, there was no way but to lead the army to leave, because the general trend had gone, and the Ming army had won a big victory, and it was even more difficult to capture this great Linghe City.

It's not that he's afraid that he won't be able to fight, it's just that he Jurchen can't afford serious losses anymore.

After returning to Shengjing, sure enough, the two blue flag masters, Belle Abatai, were cut off and deprived of the status of the two blue flag owners, leaving only three Niu Lu.

And let Jierharang, one of the four great Heshuo Belles, serve as the owner of the two blue flags, so that the Jurchen Eight Banners, Huang Taiji alone occupies the six banners, and there is no one to restrain him.

After deliberation, the ministers of Baylor decided to remove the lords of Azig and Shuobeile and reduce them to ordinary Baylor, and only with the red flag, and the red flag was commanded by Haoge, the son of Huang Taiji.

In this way, Azig was even more unconvinced, but Abatai had been cut off, and Azig only had a red flag in his hand, and he was simply unable to balance with Huang Taiji, so he had to obey orders and wait for the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes.

In this battle, several Mongol tribes that had returned to the Jurchens suffered heavy losses, and they were already a little ready to move, and the Han army, which had just been formed, was almost wiped out.

Houjin was confused, unable to extricate himself from the shadow of successive defeats, at this time, Huang Taiji had to put aside the disposal of the noble Baylor, and actively looked for a place to fight, he needed a big victory to stabilize the morale of the army.

Soon, in early September, a Mongol arrived from far away Moxi, the territory of Lin Dan Khan.

Huang Taiji thought that this Mongol probably had important information, so he put on a respectful appearance and received him personally.

After a long talk, the Mongol told Huang Taiji that Lin Dan Khan took advantage of the Ming army's victory over Linghe and sent troops to Inner Khalkha, hoping to subdue the five tribes.

Huang Taiji was furious, and even coughed up blood several times, the five departments of Inner Khalkha had already surrendered to Houjin, and now Lin Dan Khan was so unbearable!

At this time, Dolgon suggested: "Lin Dan Khan is going out to conquer Inner Khalkha, Chahanhot must be empty, and the time has come to crusade against Lin Dan Khan!" ”

Huang Taiji was surprised, Dolgon, who had always suggested bowing to Lin Dan Khan, said such a thing at this time, it seemed that the time had come.

So, when the Ming Dynasty was still muttering that he couldn't extricate himself from the Linghe victory, Houjin had already begun to actively mobilize troops and prepare to start an expedition.

……

Turning over the Liaodong Mansion newspaper, Zu Dashou led the army out of the city to assist Yougong, and was promoted to the general army of Liaodong, stationed in Jinzhou City to dispatch various armies.

At the same time, He Kegang and Zhang Cunren fought decisively, and they were both promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, leading a squad of 30,000 troops and more than 5,000 border troops of Liaodong to garrison Dalinghe City together.

This is nothing, what makes Xiao Yi sigh is Sun Chengzong's matter.

Xiao Yiben thought that after the victory of Linghe, Sun Chengzong should have made great contributions, and at least he would still serve as the governor of Jiliao.

In this way, there is still Sun Chengzong in Liaodong, and there will be no more major defeats in the short term, but for some reason, according to the news from the Beijing Division, the situation is very bad.

The great victory Sun Chengzong was not only fruitless, but was impeached for major demerits, and some crimes such as embezzling military salaries and concealing the harvest emerged one after another, which dazzled Chongzhen.

This time, these courtiers seemed to have made up their minds to death, and even the Japanese and Korean meetings discussed the matter, and there was an endless stream of impeachers for Sun Chengzong.

After the court meeting, the song was also non-stop, and rumors inside and outside the Beijing division also arose, and the people in the market continued to rumor, saying that the previous defeat of the official army in Linghe's great victory was all due to Sun Chengzong's fear of the enemy and not fighting.

The people of Jingshi, who did not know the reason, talked about it and condemned it, and none of the Manchu Dynasty ministers spoke for Sun Chengzong.

This situation also made Sun Chengzong feel that he couldn't do anything, so he continued to play a series of songs, saying that he was already seriously ill and wanted to retreat.

Although Emperor Chongzhen is still swaying left and right, and is undecided, Xiao also knows that Emperor Chongzhen values face and dignity the most, and under the general trend of court discussions and public grievances, it is a foregone conclusion that Sun Chengzong will step down.

With a long sigh, he was about to look again, when a loud sound of clothes and armor intersecting, and when he looked up, he saw that Huang Yang strode in, hugging his fists.

"General, a few horses galloped from afar, looking at their armor and direction, it should be from the town."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi suddenly had some doubts in his heart, a few horsemen came from the town, could it be...?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi immediately put down his hand in the Chinese book and the newspaper, and said to Huang Yang: "This few horses should be a herald, so there is no need to queue up to welcome, red tape saves energy and saves convenience, everything is simple, find Dayong, Shi Lu, and Lao Shi, and go out with Ben to greet them." ”

Huang Yang said with some concern at this time: "Could it be that the news of last month spread out?" ”

Xiao Yi was tidying up his clothes and armor after getting up, and after hearing Huang Yang's words, he said without looking back: "How can this matter be hidden, I have already thought about it, you don't have to worry, go and give orders." ”

"Good!"

Since the last time he killed the Hao family, Huang Yang was very worried, and after discussing privately with Shi Lu and a few people, he felt that he still had to propose a countermeasure with Xiao Yi as soon as possible.

You must know that these wealthy families are deeply rooted and intertwined in the East Road, and it is easy to kill, but they will definitely not be tied back.

At this time, seeing that Xiao Yi did not have the slightest worry, his heart was also a lot calmer, and he nodded and walked out of the lobby to give orders.

After about a stick of incense, Xiao Yi and the others waited outside the west gate on horseback.

In the distance, five or six cavalrymen came galloping, one wearing the fine armor of the Ming Dynasty, which was a general flag.

The general flag hugged his fist to Xiao Yi and said: "I have seen General Xiao, the holy decree has set off from Beijing last month, and it should be able to reach Datong in three days, please follow me to the town to receive the decree." ”

After this man finished speaking, a small flag officer behind him clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It has spread in the current army, and I heard that there are generals from all sides of the brave crown in charge, and everyone said that Datong Town can be worry-free." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi laughed a few times and said: "Thanks to the love of the soldiers, Xiao Yishi really dare not be." ”

After a few words of greeting, the chief flag of the leader said: "General, there are still things to clean up and order, I can wait from the side." ”

Xiao Yi chuckled lightly and said: "It's okay, the expedition to Liaodong Yue Yuweizhou is all peaceful, and there won't be any big mess in the next few days, just leave it to Master Li, let's go." ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's understatement, the general flag and the few small flags and horsemen behind him glanced at each other, with some surprise in their eyes, and then the general flag laughed.

"But I've been thinking too much, the general first!"
