The Tatars gave up Hetuala, the birthplace of the Tartars, to the confusion of Wenlong, and he ordered his soldiers to enter the city and soon take control of the entire city. Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, the two fierce generals, were not happy because they took Hetuala lightly, but said beside Shuai: "Father-in-law, we should have a bloody battle here, it is so easy, it makes people feel uneasy, among them, Tartar must have another article, we must be more careful." ”

Indeed, the father also felt that there must be something strange in this. Take the initiative to give up Hetuala, what does this mean......" Wen Long thought for a moment, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, quite a sense of sudden realization, "I understand, the high-ranking people in the Tartars, this is a strategic abandonment, regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one place." They know that even if we take Hetuala, we won't dare to stay here for a long time, they are worried about Xiong Dashuai's side, afraid of dispersing the troops. It seems that he is going to wait for the chest handsome to be extinguished, and then he will deal with us. ”

The dragon is also a battle-hardened man, with courage and vision, and quickly sees through the mind of the Tartar.

"Father-in-law, if it turns out as you expected, what should we do?" Shang Kexi asked.

"Let's ......" Wen Long sighed and said: "Our current situation is very difficult, if we go straight to Shengjing, the soldiers and horses are still not enough, and to fight Shengjing, we must first pass through Fushun, Fushun City is not as easy to capture as Hetuala, and it is too close to Shengjing, as soon as we arrive, it will not take half a day for Tartar reinforcements to come." When the time comes, we will be able to eat us in one go. Dilemma, dilemma......" At the end, Wen Long couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

It seems that this Tartar is also cunning enough. It's really not good, let's kill it here. Didn't the Tartars go to our rear to burn and loot, and we will treat them in the same way as others. Geng Zhongming said angrily.

"Huh?" As soon as he heard this, Wen Long's eyes lit up, and he said: "What you said is very reasonable, if the Tartars can come to us to rob it, we can also rob the ......Tartars here" But after saying this, Wen Long shook his head again and said: "It's not proper, the time given to us is too little, Xiong Dashuai's side, four days later, will send troops to take Shengjing directly, if they don't have our cooperation, the outcome is really unpredictable." Unless Xiong Shuai can be notified and asked to postpone the march, but this is impossible, if you want to send a letter to Xiong Shuai from here, you will not be able to reach it within four days. ”

"This can't be done, so what should I do, I can't stay here and still." Geng Zhongming said.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's go into the city to rest first, and then look at the map, and then we will study the marching plan." Wenlong is actually in a hurry, but he can't show it, otherwise, the army's morale will be unstable.

All the centaurs entered Hetuala, closed the gates, guarded carefully, and buried the pots to cook. And Wenlong took his subordinate generals to climb the tower. The walls of Hetuara are not very high, and you can't even see a figure when you look at it, so Wenlong asked people to take a map and look at it on the spot.

Several major generals were all around Wen Long, and the big guys looked around the map together, and after looking at it for a while, Wen Long suddenly said: "You are also people who know the soldiers, let's talk about it, if Xiong Dashuai sends troops to attack Shengjing, which way will he go?" ”

"From Jinzhou to Shengjing, it can be described as a flat river, and the child thinks that Xiong Shuai should not take other routes, but will march in a straight line." Shang Kexi said.

"Then guess again, if the Tartars send troops to stop Xiong Shuai, where will it be?" Wen Long asked again.

"If the child uses soldiers, he will inevitably block them in a place slightly close to Shengjing, because in this way, after the defeat of the enemy army, it is not so easy to escape. The most ideal place should be in the Liaozhong area. Shang Kexi said, pointing to the location of Liaozhong on the map.

The dragon nodded and said, "Yes, if I use soldiers, it will be the same." The Tartars are mainly cavalry, and they will definitely not defend the city, otherwise, they will sacrifice their own strengths and attack the enemy shortly. Liaozhong is closer to Shengjing, and the Tartars will block it in this area. There can be 300 miles from Jinzhou to Liaozhong, although we don't know what kind of speed Xiong Shuai will march, but it is estimated that it will definitely be there in five or six days. We can't spend it here, Xiong Shuai ordered us to come over, that is, to contain the Tartars, and now it is obviously seen through by the Tartars, and it can't play a role in containment, so we must help Xiong Shuai in the decisive battle. Xiong Shuai sent troops four days later, and it will take five to six days to rush to Liaozhong, that is, the time left for us is ten days at most. In these ten days, we must rush over. Look at the map......"

Speaking of this, Wen Long stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of Benxi on the map, and then pointed to Liaoyang. Then he said: "If you want to get to Liaozhong, you will inevitably pass through these two places, Benxi is only a small county, so there is no need to worry, we want to capture there, it is like exploring the bag to get something." Even if you don't attack, you can make a detour and go straight to Liaoyang. But the Tartars want to go from Shengjing to Benxi, it is only a hundred miles, and when we pass by, it must be very easy for the Tartars to block, so we have to calculate the time to go, so that the Tartars are difficult to take care of. Let the Tartars not dare to move easily even if they see our intentions, if they do, it is better, and we will fight steadily and contain them. It is only 200 miles from Hetuara to Benxi, and it is only 250 miles to Liaoyang, so we can reach our destination in five days at most. In this way, we will also send troops four days later and march to Liaoyang. Happily, you should take 200 cavalry now, return to Xiahe, lead the fleet to leave, drive back to Phi Island as fast as possible, and transfer another 3,000 men and horses, plus 2,000 people on board, a total of 5,000, enter the Liao River from the Bohai Sea, and then turn to the Taizi River and go directly to Liaoyang. You also give me some time, start counting from today, and rush to Liaoyang for me on the ninth day, not too early, not too late. ”

"The child obeys." Shang Kexi replied loudly.

"Zhong Ming, there are still four days to go, don't be idle in these four days. Didn't you just say that the Tartars also went to our hinterland of the Central Plains to burn and loot, and we will kill and wound them in their mansion in the past four days, and we don't need to leave any prisoners, and we will kill anyone we see. All the Jurchens in the surrounding area ran away. Wen Long commanded again.

"The child obeys!" Geng Zhongming is also easy to kill, and he is very excited when he hears his father-in-law arrange like this.

Next, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming acted separately, Shang Kexi rested for the night, and set off with 200 cavalry in the early morning of the next day and rushed back to Xiahe. Don't look like it took so many days, but when you go back, you are cavalry, and you travel lightly, and the speed is very fast, and in less than three days, you will arrive at Xiahe. Send a signal for the fleet to dock, take out the commander's order, and then board the ship and go out to sea, returning to Phi Island. Two days later, he arrived at Phi Dao, where Shang Kexi mobilized 3,000 men and horses, and then entered the Liao River from the mouth of the Bohai Sea.

When they entered the Liao River, they had already reached the sixth day, and at the speed of their boat, they would be able to reach the Taizi River in two more days, and finally they would be able to come to Liaoyang on the ninth day. I have to say that Wenlong has not been the owner of Phi Island for so many years, and he marched on the water, and the time was just right.

On the other hand, Geng Zhongming can be regarded as enjoyable, dozens of miles away from Hetuala City, there are many Jurchen towns, is this polite, the Ming army arrived there, and slaughtered to their heart's content.

In the past, it was the Tartars who slaughtered the Han people, but today it is finally reversed, and the Han people slaughter the Tartars to their heart's content. Originally, Dolgon didn't expect that Wenlong would have such a hand, and it was quite unreasonable, he thought that Wenlong would send troops to Fushun, so he only asked people to inform the clansmen and hide in villages and towns dozens of miles away for a few days, but it turned out that this was good, and they were all found by the Ming army.

The Jurchens who lived in Hetuala, most of whom were Jianzhou Jurchens, were killed by tens of thousands of Ming troops at once. No matter what kind of old and weak children you are, kill them all, and when you kill us, you should think of such a day.

In addition to killing tens of thousands of Tartar people, he also robbed a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, and property. If you can take it, Wenlong ordered it to be taken away, and if you can't take it, you will set it on fire. On the fifth day, the army set off and went straight to Liaoyang.

The time when they sent out the army was one day with Xiong Tingbi, and they only walked for one day, and the news of their dispatch was sent to Shengjing by the Tartar scouts, and of course, the news of their massacre of the Jurchen people was also delivered two days ago.

For the death of their own people, Daishan, Dolgon and others were naturally very angry, especially Haoge, who did not forget to strike at Dolgon, saying that if he let himself bring troops to reinforce, how could such a thing happen. What now? You said that Wenlong would attack Fushun, but he didn't go to that road at all, but went to the direction of Liaoyang. Whether you can stop it or not this time, you can decide for yourself, you don't care.

To tell the truth, for Wenlong not to fight Fushun and go to Liaoyang, Dolgon is a headache. Liaoyang is not as good as Fushun, not the rear of the Jurchens, if it is Fushun, even if you let Wenlong occupy it temporarily, and when Xiong Tingbi is eliminated, you can still send troops again and trap you inside. If there is no food and grass inside, and there are no rescuers outside, it is a place waiting for death. But Liaoyang is different, Liaoyang belongs to the front line, and there is the Taizi River outside the east gate, and Wenlong has a water division, even if it can't hold the day, you can escape from the waterway. In case Wenlong is allowed to hold Liaoyang again, the Ming army's defense line can move forward, which is very unfavorable.

Now it is too dangerous to send troops to stop Wenlong, because on this day, Xiong Tingbi sent troops in Jinzhou, with an army of 60,000, and the momentum is huge, and he has the posture of capturing Shengjing in one fell swoop. The current soldiers and horses of the Jurchens have two white flags, 12 oxen with red flags, and 16 ox records with yellow flags. In total, there can be more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. If this is divided into two ways to fight, it will not be eaten by people. Dolgon thought for a long time, and finally said: "Let's wait and see what happens, and see Xiong Tingbi and Wenlong's men and horses, whoever enters the attack range first, whoever comes first, will destroy whoever first." ”
