The Ming Dynasty took the Haizhou Acropolis lightly, and there was no big move, but it continued to strengthen the results, with the Haizhou Acropolis as the support point, constantly extending the scout war forward, and constantly expanding the scope of the shield, forcing the Houjin to come to the war of attrition.

Huang Taiji has no other way, the Ming Dynasty is too strong, only Mao Wenlong, the cavalry under the governor of Liaodong, there are more than 40,000, plus the men and horses in the hands of Qin Liangyu Mangui, the strength is far better than his Dajin.

Huang Taiji faced this situation, but also had to lead a large group of men and horses to come around, such as no ability to fight with the Ming Dynasty, once the Ming army went north, as long as the men and horses arrived close to Liaoyang, Liaoyang City could not hold at all, in the face of the Ming Dynasty's artillery siege, Huang Taiji was helpless, and there was no way to resist it, but also to guard against the Ming Dynasty to release hot air balloons, this kind of death and injury experience is too painful, Huang Taiji for the defense of the city, really do not have a glimmer of hope.

Huang Taiji knew that all his hopes were only on the current section of the road between Haizhou Wei and Liaoyang, and if he could not block the Ming Dynasty army on this section of the road, it would be inevitable for him to give up Liaodong.

Once the Ming Dynasty approached Liaoyang City, he could not hold Liaoyang City. And once the Ming Dynasty captured Liaoyang City, and then relied on Liaoyang City for scout warfare, that is to say, Shengjing was under the Ming Dynasty's troops, not only to worry about the Ming Dynasty's large-scale attack at any time, but also to be unable to produce at all. Therefore, Huang Taiji knew that the victory or defeat of Liaodong was largely determined by the more than 100 miles from Haizhou Wei to Liaoyang City, and if he could not stop the pace of the Ming Dynasty, there was no other way but to give up Shengjing. Of course, maybe you can also directly clean up with the Ming Dynasty...

Huang Taiji had no choice but to lead a large team of men and horses to come and deal with the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether he won or lost, Huang Taiji had to come.

Came with a large group of people, that is to say, his Dajin is the same as last year, there is no production, all in the old book, the progress of the westward expansion has to slow down, like this, even if the Ming Dynasty does nothing, just confronts him, he Huang Taiji can't afford it, in the face of the behemoth Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji gave birth to a kind of helpless fear, the Ming Dynasty is too huge for Dajin.

Three Banquet River.

Sun Chengzong has been in a good mood recently, he took Haizhou Wei lightly, the situation in Liaodong has been opened, and the rest is to rely on the strong strength of the Ming Dynasty to slowly figure it out, Sun Chengzong does not want to conquer Liaodong in one fell swoop, so too hasty, some adventures, the requirements for the entire combat officer army are too high, one is not careful, it will be lost, but now the Ming Dynasty is not in a hurry, only seeking stability, the Ming Dynasty can afford to consume, relying on strong strength to overwhelm the opponent openly.

Sun Chengzong also soaked in the war room almost every day.

"Elder Ge, an urgent report from the commander-in-chief of the front line." A staff officer sent the urgent report he had just received to Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong was consulting a battle plan, and when he saw an urgent report from the front, he immediately put down what he was doing and picked up the urgent report.

After watching it for a while, Sun Chengzong was relieved a lot. It has been proven, and it can be confirmed that the chief of the Eastern Captives took a large team of men and horses to personally sit in Liaoyang and confront the Ming Dynasty. The whole of the eastern captives, except for the west, which still has a large number of troops, has shrunk on all other fronts.

That's what Sun Chengzong wants.

The staff officers of the "Pavilion Elder" looked at Sun Chengzong with some impatience, hoping that this Pavilion Elder, who was serious-looking, practical and kind, and was willing to train his juniors, could talk about the latest situation.

"It has been ascertained that the eastern captives have shrunk in an all-round way, and the captive chieftains personally sit in Liaodong and confront our army, well, there are still some troops in addition to the west" Sun Chengzong briefly said the matter. For this group of young staff officers, Sun Chengzong is very optimistic.

"Oh," the staff officers couldn't help but let out a cry of joy. The Ming Dynasty oppressed the Eastern Captives with great strength and had to follow the intentions of the Ming Dynasty, and to do this, the victory took another step forward.

The staff officers were overjoyed and hotly discussed, and Sun Chengzong was also pleased to watch this group of young people hotly discuss how to do it and how Dongyu will be.

Forbidden city.

Yang is also monitoring the progress of the war. For a long time, the General Staff would collate, analyze, and redistribute the information that had been collected from various places.

Yang reformed more about the war, and in reality, he didn't have too much fingering at the war. To be honest, it has only been a year or two for Yang Reform to really come into contact with this kind of national battle, and Yang Reform does not feel that he is a commander who is a natural genius, but also an ordinary person. …,

At this point, Yang Reform has a sober understanding of himself, and does not feel that with a wave of his hand, the enemy will be annihilated, it is easy to move his mouth, but it is difficult to do things.

Yang Reform is processing the manuscript in the Qianqing Palace, and after preparing to deal with the manuscript, he will go to the platform to pay attention to the progress of the war.

However, new news was sent to the Qianqing Palace in advance.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent report from the elder Sun Ge of Liaodong." Wang Chengenyu reports.

"Oh, see you!" Yang Gai hurriedly wrote the last few words on a notebook, put down the pen, and said. I think it is also important news to be able to get the news sent by Yuan Chonghuan lightly.

Yuan Chonghuan soon entered the warm pavilion.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Chonghuan held the emergency report in his hand and saluted.

"Excuse me, what is Master Sun's urgent report?" Yang reformed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the whole field of the eastern captives is shrinking, in addition to the west there is still a force of this army, the chief of the captives led the men and horses to confront our dog army in the tent..."Yuan Chonghuan said with joy, and after speaking, he handed over the urgent report in his hand.

Yang Reform opened the emergency report in a hurry, and looked at it, indeed, as Yuan Chonghuan said, in this letter, a comprehensive introduction to the recent situation of Dongyu, it can be said that he was forced into a corner by the Ming Dynasty.

"Hehehe, yes, as long as this stalemate continues, I can surrender without a fight." Yang Reform finished reading the emergency report and said with a smile. "Yes! Your Majesty, I think that last year, Donglu basically did not carry out any production, and at the beginning of this year, it was a series of wars, almost all the manpower was put into the war, and there was no time to produce, if it goes on like this, Donglu must not be able to resist, according to the minister, it will not be long before Donglu takes the risk to attack my Ming army, or automatically rushes west into the grassland, and there is no other way..."

Yuan Chonghuan said with joy. In any case, he is now the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, although the war is not his supervisor, nor is he personally commanded, but it still has a lot to do with him, and winning or losing is also very important to him.

"The words are good, but I also want my Daming side not to make mistakes" Yang Reform is also quite happy. For fighting, especially dealing with a founding level figure like Huang Taiji, Yang Gai does not expect the Ming Dynasty to produce a super genius-level figure with intelligence, commander, leading troops in battle, etc., and only hopes that the commanders and generals who are fighting against Huang Taiji on the Ming Dynasty will not be too far from Huang Taiji's ability in intelligence, commander, and leading troops to fight.

Yang Reform does not expect to win Huang Taiji with the personal ability of the commander, nor does he expect a commander to win this war in a surprise way, but hopes to rely on the strong strength of the Ming Dynasty to comprehensively overwhelm Huang Taiji, which is more realistic. Throughout the end of the Ming Dynasty, to say that the characters who crushed Huang Taiji in terms of intelligence, leading troops in battle, etc., have not yet, at most they are on the same level as Huang Taiji, or slightly worse than one line, the kind of thing that hopes to rely on the commander's personal ability to surprise the army to defeat Huang Taiji, Yang Reform has not thought about it, and it is not realistic, Huang Taiji himself is a character like the founding of the country, and if you want to crush him, then what level does this person who can crush Huang Taiji have? There really is going to be this person, Yang Reform will wake up in a dream, and the arrangements and strategies he makes are basically around relying on his overall strength to overwhelm Huang Taiji, as for the personal ability of the commander and general, Yang Reform only hopes that they can play normally, and don't be too far behind Huang Taiji.

"..............., Your Majesty, there is Sun Ge Lao in front of you, and there is Commander-in-Chief Qin, there shouldn't be any problems, it's all years of service......," Yuan Chonghuan echoed.

"Well, yes, hopefully." Yang responded with a reply. The commander-in-chief's personal ability cannot be stronger than that of the opponent, so he can only work the overall strength, using the "plow" to make up for it, and the "potential" to surpass the opponent.

“… Your Majesty, according to Sun Ge Lao's operational deployment, it is time for Datong to make some moves. Yuan Chonghuan asked again, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yuan Chonghuan also knew the overall plan.

"Well, since Master Sun said that Datong can move, then do what Master Sun said, Datong can make some big moves,...... On the Liaodong side, I am afraid that there will be a stalemate for a while, and Huang Taiji is afraid that he will not have time to manage the ancient right-wing departments. Yang reformed. Actually, speaking of which, Sun Chengzong can directly order what Datong should do, however, he still put this decision back to Yang Reform to show respect, the official position of the nine-sided supervisor is too heavy, almost to control the elite of the entire northern Ming Dynasty, its power is too great, and Sun Chengzong also has to make some gestures. …,

Yang Chengzong also does not intend to deny Sun Chengzong's decision, nor does he intend to change it, Sun Chengzong said that the Liaodong side has already glued the Dongyu, and the Datong side can move, and Yang Chengzong's reform will also depend on Sun Chengzong's.

"The minister's decree ......," Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Not only Datong should move, thistle, Xuan and other aspects, but the Qing family should also pay more attention and urge more. We must not slacken our combat readiness everywhere, otherwise, once an unexpected situation occurs, we will be caught off guard and we will be a big man. Yang Jige said again.

"Command!" Yuan Chonghuan said again.

Yuan Chonghuan got the will and left.

Yang Reform originally wanted to write a letter to further delegate power to Sun Chengzong, but after thinking about it, forget it, Sun Chengzong must have his ideas when he returned the authority that originally belonged to him, and it may not be a good thing for Sun Chengzong to delegate power by himself. Yang reformed several times, but did not write this letter, and in the end, he gave up.

Having dealt with this matter, in fact, there is no need to go to the platform today. However, Yang Reform remembered the matter of Datong again.

Yang Reform did not expect to rely on the commander's personal ability to crush Huang Taiji, so all the arrangements for Liaodong were based on strength first, and the commander's personal ability was secondary. However, in Datong, Yang Reform does not think so, Yang Reform thinks, here in Datong, maybe you can try to rely on the personal ability of the commander to crush those méng ancients, a méng ancient right-wing people, there is no one who has become a climate, let alone a founding level figure, they are all general, so Yang Reform is pinning his hopes on the commander's personal amazing performance.

Thinking of the governor who could wield a saber and lead the team to kill, Yang Gengai couldn't help laughing. The war on the Liaodong side must be boring and unremarkable. But this is the same aspect, maybe cry to be surprised.

Thinking of the ancient right-wing departments that had been infiltrated like a sieve by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Yang Gengai laughed even more.

"Big Companion ......" "Big Companion ......" Yang Gengai laughed while thinking.

"The slave is here." Wang Chengen was having something to do outside, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the emperor's call and immediately came in.

"Send a letter to Cao Huachun, and ask his people to do their best to support Lu Xiangsheng, and strive to disintegrate the ancient right-wing departments of Méng in one fell swoop, and get rid of the trouble of our dynasty." Yang Gai tried his best to hold back his laughter and instructed Wang Chengen.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed. Cao Huachun presided over the Military Intelligence Bureau, which was responsible for intelligence and infiltration in the north.

For Datong, Yang's requirements are different from those of Liaodong, Liaodong, Yang's reform is not urging war, nor pointing fingers, nor imposing any requirements, it is very relaxed, as long as Huang Taiji's army is stabilized. But in Datong, Yang Reform is not very affordable, and he has great confidence that this coalition army will be dismantled in one fell swoop.

Datong, beyond the side wall.

Now Lu Xiangsheng has moved the governor's yamen outside the side wall and started working on the grass nose.

Although the east has just opened, the ice and snow have not melted, but the fire of this war has actually burned since last year, so as soon as spring begins, Lu Xiangsheng can't wait to enter the grassland.

Lu Xiangsheng felt that he was particularly suitable for leading troops, and his feelings were more like a general leading soldiers than a literati governor.

In addition to the 10,000 new troops and 10,000 border troops, there were also 30,000 imperial troops who accompanied Lu Xiangsheng out of the pass.

Just after the Chinese New Year, this group of people and horses have been gathered and ready to Datong, as soon as the people and horses are ready, Lu Xiangsheng can't wait to get out of the customs, Lu Xiangsheng is eager to try the knife.

"Report!" A herald cavalry hurriedly ran towards Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng also heard the shout, so he slowed down, otherwise, with his speed, the herald cavalry would be afraid that he would not be able to catch up with him for a while.

The herald cavalry approached, and only then did he unwrap his body and present it to Lu Xiangsheng.

"My lord, an urgent report from the imperial court." The herald cavalry ran sweating profusely, wheezing Lu Xiangsheng took the burden, checked the seal first, and it was intact before opening the seal. "Futai" Wu Sangui approached and asked. At the same time, there is also a very old Zhao Shujiao, he is now also assigned to Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates, listening to Lu Xiangsheng's command, Zhao Shujiao has only one feeling for this ridiculously young governor, that is, it is good to be young, he only feels that he is really old compared to this young governor. About all kinds of this young governor, Zhao Shujiao only felt that it was incredible, and now he was called an errand under this young governor, Zhao Shujiao had no regrets, of course, before the real no regrets, Zhao Shujiao wanted to appreciate the "spectacle" of the young governor waving a horse chopping knife and charging into battle. …,

"Sun Ge Lao's side has already succeeded, and Donglu is forced to pull most of the people back to confront Commander Qin, it is basically unlikely that he will suddenly enter the grassland, but it is a good opportunity for me to do it." Lu Xiangsheng briefly introduced.

"Futai, this is indeed a good opportunity! Since it has been determined that the people and horses of the Dongyu will be contained in Liaodong, then we can do it on our side, otherwise, when we are halfway through the fight with the ancient people of Méng, we will be mixed with the Dongyu, it will be embarrassing" Wu Sangui immediately said, Wu Sangui was younger, and he only felt that it was good to talk to this governor who was slightly older than him. So, it's not very outward. "Futai, this is indeed a good opportunity, but before you start, you still have to talk to Gonggong Cao, if you can get the support of Gonggong Cao, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort," Zhao Shujiao interjected. Zhao Shujiao's official position is actually quite high, but he is subject to the rules of literati and martial arts, and he still has to listen to Lu Xiangsheng. Of course, at the same time, Lu Xiangsheng, a member of the imperial party, is a person who does not pay attention to face and rules, so although he has been getting along for a while, he can quickly say it, as if he has known him for many years, Zhao Shujiao is very happy to deal with this governor with a martial temperament.

"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, it seems that Cao Gonggong has arrived," Lu Xiangsheng said. On the rapidly approaching smoke and dust in the distance, there was the banner of Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun received the emperor's secret order, did not stay long, and immediately ran over to find Lu Xiangsheng.

In the past, Cao Huachun did have an opinion about the emperor sending him to such a marginal place, thinking that the emperor was alienating him, which made him very sad, but as he became more and more interesting in the Military Intelligence Bureau, Cao Huachun felt that he had not lived in vain in this life, and the errand sent to him by the emperor was actually very interesting, for example, watching one tribe after another be infiltrated by himself and rebelled by himself to become the imperial army, which is actually very fulfilling. Especially in this decisive battle with the ancient right wing of Méng, thinking that he has rebelled against several tribes, once the fight starts, these tribes will have to rebel against the water, this decisive battle, the actual result has come out, Cao Huachun feels that this feeling of controlling everything behind the scenes is better!
