It's finally time to leave Liaodong, Qu Qingze tried his best to let the information flow to Houjin and Fan Wencheng through Tan Haitao and Kang Tai, and to Fan Wencheng's hands, he can only do this, sometimes, in order for Fan Wencheng to believe in these intelligence, it must also be mixed with some real information, such as the deployment of the Datong border army, but this is all allowed by Su Tiancheng, anyway, it can't be hidden, on the contrary, after these information is leaked, it will make Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng more cautious, even more indecisive.

Coming to Liaodong for such a long time, Qu Qingze has not left the Governor's Mansion, he used to be in the Governor's Yamen, but after he really started to do things, there were too many people coming and going in the Governor's Yamen, it was very inconvenient, and he moved to the Governor's Mansion, which was a lot cleaner, since Su Tiancheng left Liaodong, the Governor's Mansion has been cleaned, and ordinary people dare not go in.

Qu Qingze and Lu Xiangsheng's contact is very frequent, almost every day to meet, the two of them are busy during the day, after dark, Lu Xiangsheng rushed to the governor's mansion, and Qu Qingze and the two discussed, including some army transfer matters, Lu Xiangsheng also asked Qu Qingze's opinion, which was impossible to imagine before.

Lu Xiangsheng is actually an arrogant person, when he fought in the imperial court and Liaodong before, including when he fought against the Liukou, he was proud to be good, but Lu Xiangsheng was really convinced of Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng was much younger than him, and the achievements of others were unprecedented, especially in just a few years, he completely exterminated the Liukou, captured all the important leaders of the Liukou, and was an official in the local area. The local governance is in order, such an ability, Lu Xiangsheng is ashamed of himself.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Lu Xiangsheng followed Su Tiancheng and fought against the Houjin Tartars, which was seen in person. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Azig led 100,000 Houjin Tartars to enter the customs and plunder, everywhere they went, the Ming army fled, and they did not dare to fight at all. Lu Xiangsheng led the Datong border army and participated in this battle, and since then, Lu Xiangsheng has completely believed that the great cause of revitalizing the Ming Dynasty and completely eradicating the Houjin Tartars is none other than Su Tiancheng.

Qu Qingze is one of Su Tiancheng's most trusted officials, and if he didn't have extraordinary skills, he would not have been able to follow Su Tiancheng for a long time. So Lu Xiangsheng was very polite in front of Qu Qingze. Many important things are to solicit Qu Qingze's opinions, and after nearly a month of contact, Lu Xiangsheng was surprised to find that Qu Qingze's ability is indeed extraordinary.

As for matters related to the defense of Liaodong, Qu Qingze directly put forward suggestions. He believes that the main direction of attack of the Houjin Tatars is in Haizhou, and once the battle begins, the Houjin Tatars will definitely know about it, and when the time comes. The pressure on Liaodong will definitely increase, and the Houjin Tartars will not be able to resist in the direction of Haizhou, so they will increase the attack on Liaodong, once the defense of Liaodong is in danger, the entire attack will suffer heavy losses, Huang Taiji has always been like this, no matter how many ways the opponent attacks, Huang Taiji believes that all the way, launch an attack at any cost, so Liaodong must be firmly defended.

And the key area of defense, is two places, the first is Dalinghe City, the second is Shanhaiguan, as long as these two places are held, Houjin Tartar will not be able to perform, even if Houjin Tartar takes Ningyuan City, it will not help, the front and rear are in siege, if Haizhou is lost, Jiangning battalion from Haizhou quickly rushed to Liaodong, Houjin Tartar will encounter heavy encirclement, facing the fate of annihilation, so the focus of troops should still be on Dalinghe City and Shanhaiguan, and to send elite troops to hold these two places.

As for attacking Guangning and Xiping Fort, there is no need to be too anxious, once the Jiangning battalion wins in the direction of Haizhou, the combat deployment of Houjin Tatar will suffer heavy losses, and it is impossible for Ningyuan and Xiping Fort to continue to deploy heavy troops, if the Houjin Tartars continue to hold on to Guangning and Xiping Fort, the Jiangning battalion occupies the Liao River, and the Liaodong border army is flanked back and forth, and the Houjin Tartars stationed in Ningyuan and Xiping Fort will not be able to escape, and Huang Taiji can not bear such losses.

Qu Qingze's suggestion was approved by Lu Xiangsheng, from Qu Qingze's suggestion, Lu Xiangsheng finally understood Su Tiancheng's general thoughts, the attack was mainly based on the Jiangning battalion, mainly in the direction of Haizhou, Gaizhou and Yaozhou, supplemented by Liaodong and Datong, the Jiangning battalion attacked Haizhou, not only to eliminate the vitality of the Houjin Tartars, but also to be responsible for destroying the overall deployment of the Houjin Tartars. At present, if the Liaodong Frontier Army can hold Liaodong and hold back the Houjin Tartars of Ningyuan and Xipingbao, it will be regarded as a successful completion of the task.

To put it bluntly, Su Tiancheng did not approve of the Liaodong Border Army taking the initiative to attack.

Changing to other commanders to arrange such combat tasks, Lu Xiangsheng must not be convinced, why should the Liaodong border army hold on, why should he watch other armies go to the expedition, but Su Tiancheng made such a suggestion, Lu Xiangsheng was convinced, the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong border army is not the same level as the Jiangning battalion, even if it is to attack Guangning City with all its might, it may not be able to take it down, thought, Houjin Tatar seized the opportunity to storm the Ningjin defense line, and the entire combat deployment may have problems.

For most of the month, Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze talked many times, and every time the two discussed, they were able to reach a consensus, which made Lu Xiangsheng very emotional, what kind of superior can you learn, what kind of ability you can learn, in fact, you have to know how strong Su Tiancheng is in Dao, just look at Qu Qingze and others to know Dao.

Qu Qingze was about to leave Liaodong, and Lu Xiangsheng specially arranged a banquet.

There were a total of three people attending the banquet, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze, there was also the chief soldier Zu Dale.

Zu Dale's status has also improved, especially after Zu Dashou and Liu Ji went to Datong, the former border army in Liaodong was all under the command of Zu Dale, after several years of tempering, with the increase of age, Zu Dale has also matured and stabilized a lot.

The so-called banquet is actually about the arrangement and deployment of the battle.

Lu Xiangsheng picked up his wine glass and spoke unceremoniously.

"Brother Qu, I'm about to leave Liaodong, these days, my brother has followed you and learned a lot of things, the battle is about to start, do you have any other suggestions, don't have any reservations."

"Lord Lu is polite, the younger brother has learned a lot from the adults, and he is about to leave Liaodong, the younger brother is really a little reluctant, think about it, and there is one more thing to remind, this time Lord Su specially arranged a sailor to stick to the dock outside Jinzhou City, although Lord Su did not specifically emphasize, but the younger brother thought about it carefully, and arranged for the sailor to be stationed here, there is a certain deep meaning, Lord Lu and General Zu, please see, the younger brother specially drew a map."

Qu Qingze took out the map drawn from his arms and spread it on the table.

"Jinzhou is not far from Lianyun Island, at a critical moment, it is better to reinforce through the waterway, and the movement of the Liaodong border army, including the transfer of the Jiangning battalion soldiers, is more convenient through the waterway, and will not be blocked by anything, the artillery of the water division is very sharp, and it can become a strong support for Jinzhou, the younger brother estimates, Master Su has already taken this into account, once the offensive in the direction of Haizhou begins, the Houjin Tartar is very likely to launch a crazy attack in the direction of Liaodong, and the pressure on Liaodong is very large, ensuring the smooth flow of the waterway, It can ensure that Jinzhou is invincible, Jinzhou can hold on, Dalinghe City can hold on, and Houjin Tartar will never dare to bypass Dalinghe City and Jinzhou, and directly attack Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the map carefully and nodded frequently.

Zu Dale couldn't help it, he had long been looking forward to the general attack on Houjin Tartar, but unfortunately, the main task of the Liaodong Border Army was still defense, and the main direction of the attack was in the direction of Haizhou, which was a little frustrating for Zu Dale.

"Lord Lu, Lord Qu, since the main direction of the attack is in the direction of Haizhou, the last general has a reluctant request, and he has the courage to say it......"

Before Zu Dale could speak, Qu Qingze smiled and spoke.

"General Zu doesn't need to say it, I know that you want to go to Dengzhou and participate in the attack on Haizhou, I have heard it several times, you mentioned He Renlong in front of Lord Lu, your nicknames are similar, He Renlong is known as He Maniac, you are known as the Second Maniac, the intersection between the two of you is also unusual, you want to follow He Renlong to fight, but this time I have to persuade you, from the arrangement and deployment of Lord Su, the pressure on Liaodong is far greater than that of Haizhou, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Houjin Tatar will launch a crazy attack, I am sure that the Houjin Tatars will not be able to defeat the Jiangning battalion in the direction of Haizhou, whether in terms of deployment or combat effectiveness, but not necessarily in Liaodong, Dolgon is the most courageous general in Houjin, and the white flag is famous for being able to conquer, so General Zu has a very heavy task, to assist Lord Lu to garrison Liaodong and take Guangning and Xiping Fort. ”

Lu Xiangsheng also smiled and spoke.

"General Zu, I already know your thoughts, in fact, Lord Qu also thought of it, and once wrote a letter to Lord Su, Lord Su believes that the task of Liaodong is not ordinary, so you must use all your strength to garrison Liaodong well, once Lord Su leads the Jiangning battalion and takes Haizhou and other places, we will not be able to defend Montenegro, we must launch a large-scale attack, and Liaodong will face a fierce battle."

Zu Dale scratched his scalp embarrassedly and stopped talking.

At this time, Qu Qingze also picked up his wine glass.

"Lord Lu, General Zu, this cup of wine is for the younger brother to respect you, I wish Lord Lu and General Zu a victory, take Quang Ninh and Xiping Fort, and establish immortal meritorious deeds." (To be continued......)
