Leaving behind the dilapidated Daning, Deng She's army rushed forward.

The next night, they successfully joined forces with the 3,000 foot soldiers on the right flank outside the city of Huihe. The cavalry fought fiercely for half the night, and after more than a day's journey, the army was exhausted. Undisturbed by the defenders of the city, Dunshe sought a place to hide from afar, rested for the night, and suddenly launched an offensive in the early hours of the morning.

He first disguised some soldiers with the captured armor, pretending to be a defeated Buddhist slave who had returned, so he tried to trick the city gate, but was seen through by Huihe's guards. He immediately hung the head of the Buddhist slave in the air, along with the heads of countless Yuan army soldiers.

- The heads of these Yuan soldiers, some of whom died in the mountains, and some of whom were later captured. Deng She originally assigned a group of men and horses to deal with the prisoners, and the so-called "processing" was to cut off the head. The soldiers are fast, he is alone in the depths, surprise attack the enemy city, with a large number of prisoners is definitely not good, only to kill.

Suddenly, in front of the army and horses of the two cities, there were tall poles in front of them. Thousands of human heads on the poles were either open or closed, or painful, or terrified, and their flesh and blood went around the city. The cold wind of the early morning whistled and swirled, and the dense human heads were hideous, and this battlefield turned into a Senluo hell.

The morale of the Huihe defenders was greatly depressed, and they all trembled, barely holding on for less than half a day, and the city was declared lost.

Deng She left 3,000 foot soldiers to defend the city, and dealt with the prisoners by the way, while the rest of the army rushed to Wuping without stopping. Wu Ping's first did not spend the courage to be scared away, the defenders in his city were far inferior to Huihe, only three or two thousand people, without firing a single arrow, abandoned the city and fled.

Huihe and Wuping fell successively, Zhang Jujing and Fojianu were killed successively, and when the news came out, Liaodong was shocked.

……

"It's a wild man!"

Suddenly, his hair stood up, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He was originally a scholar, a child of a family, pampered since he was a child, and he had the ability to talk on paper, but he really wanted to fight face-to-face, he didn't have the courage. Not to mention hearing that thousands of heads were hanging outside the city, just thinking about it made me tremble.

One of the staff members remembered something, Deng She didn't stop cutting off the enemy's head, he didn't even let go of his own people.

He said: "A few months ago, Deng Thief and Naha went out to fight in Dongmu Mountain, and some of the red thieves did not retreat, and they were all cut off by him and hung in front of the battle, but the object of intimidation was not our army, but his own men and horses. In the battle of Dongmu Mountain, the reason why the red thieves won was a big reason. ”

"Murderous, brutal." I also fidgeted for the first time, stood up, walked back and forth, and felt that my legs were weak.

Nangjia is a gangster, and Huzi may not be able to talk about it, but if you want to talk about courage, it is still much stronger than those staff members first. He didn't think about the head, gasped, and said: "Wuping and Huihe are lost, the left flank of our army is wide open, and there is no longer a line of defense that can stop the Deng thief." If he drives straight in, heck, our army is not good. ”

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, dragged over the map, and spread it out on the case.

Strictly speaking, in addition to Wuping and Huihe, there were two strongholds on the left flank of the Yuan army. a Sichuan state, located in the east of Wuping, a hundred miles away; A high state, located in the west of Wuping, more than 200 miles apart. It's just that there are very few garrisons in these two places, and there are a few symbolic people, and it is obviously impossible to expect them to stop Dunshe.

Nang Jia's words reminded Ye Xian Kudu and others, and everyone gathered around to look at the map.

"Lords, look. Deng thief can be favored, and can echo Yizhou, connect Luyang, guard it, and reject the remnants of Liaoxi. Deng thief has Wuping, can echo Guangning, and Liaoyang, live in front, and threaten my main henchmen at any time. If Huihe is his shield, then Wuping is his spear, he can attack and defend, our army is not in a good situation,......, what do you think? ”

The situation is clear, whether it is a high view or a low view, it is nothing more than two countermeasures.

Some aides believed that the offensive against Quang Ninh should be suspended, and the attack on Wuping should be changed immediately, so as to get rid of this worry first, and then say anything else.

He listed the favorable conditions for fighting Wuping: "Deng thief won the city, and his foothold was unstable, and this is one of them." Deng Thief will not carry much grain and grass with the army, and Wuping and Huihe's grain storage is only enough for half a month, and he has less grain and more soldiers, and this is the second. Although Shijiabao was defeated and Daning was not lost, plus the garrisons, green troops, and people in Xingzhong Prefecture and other places, Liaoxi could get tens of thousands of people, and our army was flanked before and after.

"With these three benefits, I think that our army will win."

Another aide disagreed, retorting: "Our army may win, but can it be a quick victory?" You also said that Wuping and Huihe's grain reserves can last for half a month, what if Deng Thief insists on half a month? Won't the red thieves of Uiju come to his aid? Our army dispersed the elite to fight Wuping, so Pan Cheng and the main force of Deng thieves behind Guangning City, will they take the opportunity to attack us?

"In case Wuping and Huihe can't be defeated, and our army's Quang Ninh front is plunged into a bitter battle again, if this situation occurs, what should our army do?"

He asked, "What do you think?" ”

The staff said: "In the opinion of humble duty, our army should break the cauldron and attack Quang Ninh with all its might." Our army has now advanced to Quang Ninh, and within two days it will be able to clear its outlying strongholds and then besiege the city. If there is a field, there is a city, and if there is no field, there is no city, and there is no stronghold outside the city, and it is not difficult to pull out a lonely city in Quang Ninh. ”

The previous staff member objected and asked, "What should we do if the Deng thief takes advantage of our army to attack Guangning and attack our department?" ”

"Send a few people to Sichuan Prefecture as a precaution; At the same time, he ordered Shijiabao to contain the Deng thief, which was an attack. With this defense and attack, how can the Deng thief have the spare strength to attack and disturb our department again? ”

"What should we do if the main forces of the red thieves in Luyang and Liaoyang take advantage of our army to attack Guangning and attack and disturb our department?"

The staff member smiled slightly and said, "Deng thief can besiege the city and send reinforcements, why can't our army?" ”

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. Nangka made a decision that he must not give up halfway, and he immediately ordered the three armies to continue to attack Quang Ninh day and night. Before the disbandment of the army, Nang Jialu did not forget the ambush all the way a few days ago, and sent a messenger to Shenyang to urge Naha to act quickly.

"Tell him that within three days, this king will not hear the military report of his attack on Liaoyang, and the military law will deal with it!"

The messenger of Nangjialu crossed the long front line, bypassed the defense area of Liaoyang, and drove more than 100 miles in the middle of the night, and entered Shenyang City before and after the third watch.

This great war involved the entire Liaodong, with few pedestrians along the way, corpses on the side of the road planted everywhere, and flocks of birds, wild dogs, tigers and wolves came out to destroy them. Not long after he entered the Shenyang Prime Minister's Mansion, the guards outside the door heard Naha's thunderous shout.

"Deng is a thief!"

The messenger fell to the ground, not daring to raise his head. Naha was full of anger and walked around the hall, his anger was not all for Dunshe, seven out of ten was due to other things. The patriarchs of those tribes chattered and pestered all day long.

Didn't some of the people die? Liaodong is full of smoke, seeing that the red scarf is in power, these people don't know that they are dying, and they are still here to worry about it, thinking about the immediate interests one by one. Don't they know that without Liaodong, there will be no reason for them?

Naha spun around a few times and shook the sword at his waist.

To tell the truth, although he has the idea of supporting the army and respecting himself, he still knows the severity of the crisis in Liaodong. When Liaoxi was not lost, he could sit and watch, and as soon as Deng She won Wuping and Huihe, the situation was very different. He knew very well that if he still didn't cooperate with the bag, he would give the red scarf every chance to break it, and his lips would be cold.

"What else did the prince say?"

"Regardless of whether Xiang Ye can fight Liaoyang or not, as long as Xiang Ye goes out of the army and forces the main force of Deng Thief to return to the division, the first merit of this battle is Xiang Ye's. Sooner or later, Lord Wei Sijian will go back to Beijing, and the post of prime minister of Liaoyang Province, except for Xiangye, there will be no second person. ”

In the end, Nang Jialu and Nahachu are both descendants of Mu Huali, although seven or eight generations have passed, and the two have rarely interacted, but they break bones and connect tendons, and Nahachu still believes in his promise.

"The chiefs of the tribes in my city?"

"The prince has the right to cut first and then play, the holy purpose is this, and if you don't want to, you can cut it."

Naha weighed the pros and cons and made a decision in an instant. Without further ado, he wants to be quick to decide.

……

"Shenyang Tatars have been frequent in recent days, and since last night, a large group of people and horses have gone out of the city and approached our outer defense area. According to the informant, Naha beheaded the patriarchs of two small tribes in a row, and it seems that he is about to come out of the nest and attack my Liaoyang. ”

Liaoyang Defense Zone, the sentinel on the outside line said.

Qing Qianxing also knew the news of Deng Shelianke's several cities, and when the good news came, he expected that there would be changes in Shenyang, and he was not surprised when he heard it. His face did not move, and he asked slowly: "How many Tartars are there, and who are the leading generals?" Did you find out? ”

"The total number of people who left the city was four or five thousand, and the number of those who did not leave the city has not been ascertained for the time being. The vanguard officer's name was Liu Tan Ma Chi, and the banners of the subsequent battalions were ......" The sentry lowered his voice and spoke one by one.

Qing Qianxing listened intently, and after listening, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Order all departments to prepare for war." ”

All the generals in the tent were there, and a thousand households proposed, saying: "General, if the Tartars want to come to Liaoyang, they must cross the Taizi River, why don't our army line up on the riverbank and wait for it to be half past and attack it?" There are still more than 1,000 garrisons in Dongmu Mountain, so I simply sent them out together, outflanked them front and back, and destroyed the thousands of Tartars who went out of the city first, and gave him a dismount, how about it? ”

The generals agreed.

Qing Qianxing shook his head, he had his own plans in his heart, but he couldn't say it to anyone. He said: "Before the general leaves, he will explain to the general, not for merit, but for no fault." Our army rushes out, and if it loses, it will not be beautiful. After several days of repairs, our army's defense area is very strong, and when the Tartars come to attack, it is expected that the defeat of his remnants will not be a problem. ”

The generals were about to persuade again, and Qing Qianxing said: "You don't need to say much, the general has made up his mind." He ordered, "Send a messenger to Liaoyang, and report it to General Chen." Then he dismissed the military council and ordered everyone to go back to their headquarters and prepare.

The farthest part of the defense area of the Goryeo army was less than thirty miles away from Liaoyang City, and it took less than an hour for messengers to come and go. Soon, it was reported to Chen Hu.

Liaoyang City.

It was nearly evening, and the afterglow of the winter twilight was shining, and the city was full of red flags and guns. The weather was icy, and the north wind whined through the roof tiles. Compared with Qing Qianxing's calm and steady, Chen Hu's face sank like water, the only difference was that he showed a little stern murderous aura.

Sending the messenger away, he summoned his staff and asked, "Does the general have any new orders?" ”

"It's still the military report three days ago, and it only says four words: act according to the plan."

After confirming Dunshe's orders, he asked about the surrounding situation. Chen Hu asked, "What is the military situation in the direction of Quang Ninh?" ”

"The Tartars have stepped up their offensive, and today's military report has not yet arrived. However, inferring from the situation in the past few days, it is expected that Quang Ninh will not last more than two days, and it is certain that it will be surrounded. The Luyang Pan Ren Department tentatively sent a detachment of troops and horses to rescue Quang Ninh, but was repulsed by the Tartars last night and almost ambushed. ”

"What about Yang Wanhu's department?"

"According to the predetermined plan, General Yang's headquarters will not move."

"What about Liaozuo Zhao's department?"

"General Zhao has increased the Haiyang Inspection Department twice before and after, and there are currently more than 6,000 troops in Haiyang garrison. Regardless of Liaoyang's headquarters, General Yang's headquarters, or Liaoxi's general's headquarters, wherever there is a crisis in these three places, his reinforcements can arrive at dawn and evening. ”

If Liaodong is a big havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Zhao Guo's Liaozuo military horse is the Dinghai Divine Needle.

Chen Hu's character is not as steady as Zhao Guo, nor is it as deep as Qing Qianxing, but more of a killing decision. Since the situation in all aspects was clear and all the departments were under control, he didn't ask any more, waved his hand, and said categorically: "Just follow the general's orders and act according to the plan." ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside the hall, and he frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

A soldier rushed in and said, "The guy in the backyard is shouting endlessly, saying that there is important military information for the general, and the brothers dare not stop it." Please give me the general's instructions. ”

The guy in the backyard is named Zhao Timur. Deng She didn't kill him, he was locked up, and later, Deng She wanted to rescue Guangning, but he was not at ease before leaving the city, so he handed him over to Chen Hu. Although Chen Hu didn't want to see this person, he didn't lose his temper, and said lightly: "Bring it in." ”

The soldiers pushed Zhao Timur in, he struggled away, fell to his knees, and without waiting for Chen Hu to ask, he said: "The villain watches the sky at night, and there will be fog tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
