Chapter 81: Recovery

On the evening of September 9, the Dengzhou cavalry arrived outside the city of Gaizhou, and the Houjin banners at the head of the city were all there, but the defenders had already dispersed in a hurry, and they also set a fire in the city when they left.

Wang Changfu, who led the leading contingent, was stationed in Gaizhou for one night, and the second day continued north, the originally well-fortified fortresses such as Polo Po and Yaozhou Fort were already empty, and the castle was scattered with grain that had fallen after the scramble, and the infantry was stationed in Yaozhou Fort. The cavalry continued northward, reaching the outside of Haizhou before evening, where black smoke was rising and the defending Mongol right flank was nowhere to be seen, but the cavalry saw a mountain infantry company coming up the mountain road in the direction of Xiuyan.

Haizhou is already the core area of the Houjin, this rich place has been occupied by the Houjin for more than ten years, there are many Zhenyi to live, the news of the defeat of the Houjin army came, the Zhenyi are very aware of the crimes committed by the Houjin in Liaodong, they are afraid of the revenge of the Liaomin, many people have fled to the north, the cavalry cut off the road of Haizhou, blocking the route of Zhenyi's escape.

Later Jin soldiers were defeated like a mountain, Dengzhou town almost did not encounter strong resistance, September 12, Dengzhou cavalry arrived in Liaoyang, most of the Zhenyi near Liaoyang did not have time to escape, they did not dare to stay in the village, in the ice and snow to the northwest to flee, the vast Liaozhong Plain was full of fleeing people, once entered the Houjin captured Liaoshen when the overwhelming tide of Liao refugees, their journey was also difficult, the shortage of food made the road full of killing each other.

On 14 September, the first part of the Dengzhou cavalry arrived at the Wujing camp, which was only one step away from Shenyang, the capital of Houjin......

The city of Shenyang is full of panicked people, all kinds of chaotic news about the Dengzhou army circulated among the crowd, some people said that Dengzhou town burned all the way, some said that Dengzhou had gone outside the city, causing greater panic to the crowd, the city was full of robbery, everywhere you could see the houses that were broken into, the corpses that fell to the side of the road no one paid attention, thousands of people dragged their families out of the city, blindly went to the north.

In the Dazheng Palace, Haoge's eyes are red and swollen, sitting alone in the hall like ashes, when the Yulinpu battle, his blue flag was trapped in Ertaizi Village, when the Ming army broke through the blue flag front, he led the troops to counterattack many times, and was blocked back by the fourth battalion of Dengzhou. He witnessed the tragic scene of the collapse of the Houjin army in Ertaizi Village, and also saw the sweat banner of Huang Taiji disappear into the sea of people on the right flank of Dengzhou.

In the end, it was his Goshha who dragged him north and fled, accompanied only by more than a thousand people with the Blue Banner. After these horses arrived in Gaizhou, they were completely dispersed, no soldiers obeyed the command of the officer, groups of soldiers in the city to grab food and then fled north, Haoge fled all the way back from Gaizhou, and when he arrived in Shenyang, only more than 300 men remained, and the rest of the people left halfway and returned to their respective villages to prepare to flee with their families.

At this time, there were only more than 100 people left by his side, Aha and Zhenyi everywhere in the palace were also fighting for things, and the Houjin enslaved everyone under his rule with high pressure, including ordinary Zhenyi and Baoyi, Nuer Hachi entangled the Jurchens together by force, and then oppressed the Han people with Zhenyi, relying on the land and wealth stolen to maintain the system, the entire Houjin had no real cohesion, and when the Eight Banners army that supported the system disappeared, no one was willing to be loyal to the regime that enslaved him.

Listening to the hustle and bustle outside, Haoge slowly stood up, walked to the center of the Dazheng Hall and stood in a daze, I don't know how long it took, the door opened, Haoge slowly turned his head to look, it was Huang Taiji's personal Gosh Habayan, he was Li Yongfang's fifth son, Yulinpu was able to escape during the war, and he has been following Haoge after meeting Haoge in Gaizhou, and the news of Huang Taiji's death was confirmed by him.

Bayan walked in after looking at the empty hall left and right, and closed the door of the hall casually, "Master Haoge, let's go too, we can also go to Ningguta, the minions have already found a carriage, and there are more than two hundred armor soldiers who are willing to go together." ”

Hauge nodded a little dazedly, he turned his head to look at the hall, and said in a lonely voice: "This is the Great Khan personally supervised the construction, but I didn't think about it...... Yes!! ”

Haug's whole body shook, a sharp pain came from his waist, an arm went around his neck, and grabbed his throat fiercely, Hauge was caught off guard and couldn't fight back, the blade on his waist churned, and Hauge's throat let out a painful grunt.

Bayan's voice sounded coldly, "Master Haoge, don't blame me, my father left a letter for me, and Chen Xin also promised that as long as he works for Dengzhou, he will keep the family safe." The Eight Banners were defeated, I originally wanted to take the head of the Great Khan to get a great credit, but I never thought that he would die on the way to escape, so I only had to wronged you, the master of Haoge, you were able to kill the daughter of Mang Guji, and you should understand the difficulties of the minions. ”

Blood fell like raindrops on the stone slab of the main hall, and Hauge vomited blood, slowly stopped struggling, and the hands that grabbed the arm hung down softly, his eyes still wide open......

On September 15, the Second Brigade of Dengzhou Liaoning arrived in Haizhou City, Chen Xin was also in the formation, Zhu Guobin stood outside the city for a long time, Chen Xin came over and patted him on the shoulder, "You are cowardly in your hometown, you have been away from your hometown for more than ten years, and this time you will take the fourth battalion to stay in Haizhou to garrison." ”

Zhu Guobin hurriedly said: "Thank you for your understanding, what other instructions do you have?" ”

Chen Xin nodded, "Hold Niuzhuang and Sancha River, before the beginning of spring, no one from Hexi will be allowed to enter Liaodong." ”

On September 17, the Dengzhou infantry arrived in Liaoyang, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from Liaodong and people were crying outside the city of Liaoyang.

On September 20, Chen Xin arrived in Shenyang, Dengzhou's Flying Tiger Flag was planted on Shenyang's tower, and the Dengzhou army was deployed to various key points in Liaodong under the dispatch of the Military Command Department, and controlled the entire territory of Liaodong within a month

On September 23, Du Du was killed by the Dengzhou cavalry at Fushun Pass, and the last formed Houjin army perished.

Since the fall of Liaodong in the first year of the Apocalypse, after fifteen years, Liaodong has finally recovered......

On the east side of Dengzhou Water City, Dengzhou General Military Mansion.

Liu Minyou was still using a brush to annotate Wen Jiàn, and Wang Daixi, who was wearing a white fox fur coat, stood at the table to help him polish his ink, but his dark eyes kept staring at Liu Minyou's side face.

"Brother Liu."

Liu Minyou said while looking at Wen Jiàn: "Well, what's the matter." ”

"Hmm...... Master Chen told me that if Jiannu is driven away, let us ...... Let's go to Liaoyang. ”

Liu Minyou still didn't look up, "Liaoyang is going, but Dengzhou is also going to stay, our silver money is earned by the canal, and Dengzhou still has the convenience of shipping, so both sides need to run." Don't believe everything Master Chen said, he forgot it in a blink of an eye. ”

"Well, what Master Chen said is...... Yes, after recovering Liaodong, I can marry...... Married. ”

Wang Daixi's face turned red, and the last few words were said like the sound of mosquitoes, did Liu Min hear it clearly, and asked casually: "What are you talking about later?" ”

Wang Daixi's mouth curled for a moment and he didn't say anything more, Liu Min gave instructions attentively, and didn't ask again.

At this time, there was a sudden faint cheer outside, Liu Min didn't care about it at first, and sometimes the soldiers on the school field kicked football and fought in groups.

But the cheers got louder and louder, Liu Minyou finally raised his head, looked out the window in surprise, and then pulled the rattle, and the stupid monk pushed open the door with a sigh.

"Silly monk, go see what's going on outside!"

The stupid monk hurriedly closed the door, the cheers had spread to the position of the General Soldier's Mansion, and the people in the outer courtyard shouted loudly, Liu Minyou seemed to think of it, his hand holding the brush trembled slightly, and finally he put down the brush and walked to the door with Wang Daixi.

The stupid monk stumbled back from outside the gate, followed by a herald, and the two of them couldn't hide their joy, "My lord, my lord......"

Liu Minyou clasped both hands.

"After Lord Chen annihilated the Jin army in Yulin Fort, Huang Taiji is dead, and Liaodong has been recovered!"

Liu Minyou stayed where he was, and Wang Daixi next to him screamed, covering his face with his hands and crying.

The stupid monk finally ran in front of Liu Minyou, "Lord Chen is safe and sound, he said that you should prepare Lord Liu, go to Liaodong in the spring, and take the director of the Xi ...... together."

"Win! Liaodong is recovered! Liu Min shouted, laughed, turned around and picked up Wang Daixi and turned around.

The stupid monk and the herald looked at each other and stayed on the spot......

In the forward general military mansion of Liao Town, Jinzhou City, western Liaoning, Zu Dashou had just received Wu Sangui who had returned from the Sancha River. Zu Dashou had already learned of the fall of the Houjin army, and he was anxious to know the losses of Dengzhou Town in order to determine the next direction of Liao Town.

"Sangui, tell me, how many soldiers and horses are left in Dengzhou Town?"

Wu Sangui took a sip of hot tea and looked at the ground silently.

Zu Dashou said a little eagerly: "Sangui, what's wrong with you, it wasn't like this before you went to Dengzhou." ”

"Uncle, there are thousands of dead and wounded in Dengzhou Town, but ...... We can't beat them, we will never be able to beat them, Zhu Guobin, Zhong Caisheng, Wang Changfu, Liu Pojun, Zheng Sanhu, Fan Shouye, and Zhu Feng are all tiger generals, that's it, the most important thing is that their soldiers are too strong...... It's too strong, uncle, you still think as you originally thought, it's good for our ancestral family to keep a fortune. ”

Zu Dashou opened his mouth in surprise, Wu Sangui was careful and arrogant, and after he became famous, he had a very high vision, and now even he was so afraid of Dengzhou Town.

Wu Sangui raised his eyes and looked at Zu Dashou and said lonely: "Uncle, you believe me once, if you see it in Yulinpu, you will not be willing to be an enemy of Dengzhou again." ”……

November 20, the Forbidden City of Beijing, Chongzhen pale with a pale face holding a Dengzhou military newspaper, all of which carried the news of Dengzhou Town's recovery of Liaodong, none of the Houjin Eight Banner Banner owners escaped, Houjin tens of thousands of troops were destroyed by Dengzhou in a battle, the whole territory of Liaodong was recovered, and the head of the Houjin soldiers killed by Yulinpu was transported back to Denglai, and it is said that it will be displayed in Dengzhou and Linqing.

Chongzhen put down the military report, leaned back in the chair weakly, and closed his eyes for a long time before asking, "Chengen, what is the reply between the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War?" ”

Wang Chengen said cautiously: "The official department Shangshu said that the officials sent to serve in Liaodong were stopped in Jinzhou, and Zu Dashou said that there were many scattered Houjin soldiers between the Daling River and the Sancha River, and the road was not smooth, so the officials were not allowed to go to Liaodong. Military Department ...... The military department still did not receive the news of Denglai, and Chen Xin did not send someone to send the Tang newspaper. ”

"Zu Dashou is stopping, what about Fang Yizao? He, the governor, can't care about Zu Dashou. ”

"Lord Fang personally took the standard camp to the Sancha River, Zu Dashou didn't stop him, the area around Niuzhuang was already garrisoned by Dengzhou Town, but ...... They didn't let Lord Fang go to Liaodong, and Chen Xin didn't show up, only one of the deputy chief soldiers of Dengzhou Town, Zhu Guobin, came out, but they didn't let Lord Fang go over, only saying that Dengzhou Town was still purging the remnants of Jiannu. ”

Chongzhen stood up abruptly and slapped on the imperial case with a bang, "He Yizao is the governor of Liaodong, can't even go to Liaodong, and the standard camp he brought can't be furnished!?" ”

Wang Chengen lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, everyone knew that Dengzhou Town's combat power was unparalleled, and Fang Yizao's standard camp couldn't even beat Jiannu, how could he be the opponent of Dengzhou Town.

Chongzhen stood for a moment, and finally sat back on the dragon chair......

Liang Tingdong's mansion study, Liang Tingdong just introduced a distinguished guest into the room, today is very special, he put a few small dishes in the study, and also served a pot of wine, not like the usual tea to entertain guests.

"Lord Song, please take a seat." Liang Tingdong politely said to Song Wenxian.

Song Wenxian, who was dressed elegantly, had just arrived in Beijing, and when he heard it, he arched his hand and said, "I don't deserve the title of this soldier." ”

"With Mr. Song's talent, it is a matter of time before he is in a high position, and this official has been friends with Mr. Song for many years, and he will call Brother Song in the future."

Song Wenxian didn't dare to say anything, and after the two of them were polite, Liang Tingdong finally asked about Liaodong, "Here I congratulate Lord Chen on recovering Liaodong, when the news came, the official couldn't sleep at night, and drank until late at night, and raised a glass to wish Lord Chen this earth-shattering achievement." ”

Song Wenxian snorted, "Lord Liang's intentions, Lord Chen knows, but sometimes earth-shattering achievements are not necessarily a good thing, so Lord Chen said that in the past, he relied on the care of several adults in Beijing, so that Dengzhou is now said, this recovery of Liaodong is not something he can do alone, and the affairs of the future Jingshi still have to rely on a few adults to take care of, if the adults of the Beijing Division have difficulties, where he can contribute, he must also contribute, which is the duty of being a man." ”

Liang Tingdong understood, and said with a smile: "Master Chen said it well, and only by taking care of each other can things be done." Later, the matter in the Beijing Division, Lord Chen explained, and the official must do it for him. ”

"Thank you, Lord Liang, if Lord Liang has any difficulties in the court and needs to serve in Dengzhou, he can only sue him."

Both of them smiled, and the two glasses touched each other. (To be continued.) )
