Liaodong, heavy snow and ice.

In the tenth winter of the lord's calendar, the northern princes were even more warlike.

The Ming Kingdom formed the Liaoxi Army and the Liaoxi Six Forces, but the real main force was the Liaodong Army in Mingguan.

A group of Liaodong soldiers and horses, gathered outside the city of Liaodong, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the flag is displayed.

Mingguan was a burly man, accompanied by Yao Guangxiao (the mastermind) and Fan Wencheng (the first auxiliary minister), and inspected the Liaodong garrison.

It is not much different from the division of Chutian's forces, and there are also several legions under the command of the Liaodong Army. After all, this is the descendant army of the Ming Guan, and it is also the cavalry unit with the strongest combat effectiveness, which can be called one of the strongest cavalry regiments in the Han Empire, and it is also the only cavalry corps in the Han Empire that can compete with Chutian's cavalry.

"Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Li Chengliang, Zhu Neng, and the Praetorian Guard, there are a total of six armies, which are basically cavalry."

Yao Guangxiao pointed to the Sixth Army outside the city of Liaodong.

Six soldiers and horses, experienced in a hundred battles, extremely brave.

In the past ten years, the Liaodong army in Mingguan has not stopped fighting, invincible, suppressed various tribes in Liaodong, destroyed Goryeo, and was suppressed by the Liaodong army after Wanyan Aguta and Nurhachi, but they have never been able to succeed.

It can be said that the reason why the Liaodong tribes succumbed to the Ming Pass was not unrelated to the fact that the Ming Pass was in charge of the powerful Liaodong Army.

Mingguan also has a Praetorian Guard, which belongs to his own Zhili cavalry unit, and famous generals such as Jin Wushu and Kong Youde are among this cavalry troops.

Ming Guan was still not satisfied: "King Xia may launch an attack from the prairie, the Eight Banners Cavalry, have you already prepared?" ”

"Except for Nurhachi and others, who have ambitions and are worthy of vigilance, all Jurchen tribes have already participated in the war...... But if Nurhachi rebels halfway, our army will definitely be defeated. ”

Yao Guangxiao, as an emperor-level strategist, can easily see Nurhachi's ambitions.

"There is no other way. The Goryeo Army and the Goguryeo Army are stationed in Goryeo, and I suspect that Chu Zimou may send a partial division to attack Goryeo, at this time, I can only choose to trust Li Chenggui. Li Chenggui is also an ambitious person. ”

Ming Guan counted the available people under his command, except for the Liaodong Army and the Liaoxi Army, the other legions could not be fully trusted.

He must attack Youzhou under the premise that his subordinates may rebel at any time.

Mingguan is even more difficult.

Yao Guangxiao assisted Myeongguan in maintaining a dangerous balance: "If the lord promises that Li Chenggui will hold the kingdom of Goryeo and make him the king of Goryeo, then Li Chenggui will definitely be willing to die for the lord and will not have to worry about rebellion." Otherwise, the lord was defeated, and the Goryeo parliament was destroyed by King Xia. ”

"No matter whether Li Chenggui succeeds or fails, he will definitely die."

Myeonggwan agreed to Yao Kwang-hyo's strategy to give Lee Sung-gye higher power in Goryeo and restrain the generals of Choi Jae-sun, the former lord of Goryeo.

When Lee Sung-gye heard that Mingguan had appointed him as the temporary king of Goryeo, he couldn't help but be ecstatic, he served for Myeongguan, and he was only one step away from becoming the official king of Goryeo!

"Dolgon, you go to the Jurchen tribe to monitor the Eight Banners, if I can capture Youzhou, then you can replace Nurhachi and Wanyan Aguda and become the leader of the Jurchen tribe."

Mingguan summoned Dolgon.

Dolgon was a Jurchen general who defected to him a few years ago, and at this time, Mingguan divided the relationship between Dolgon and Jurchen generals such as Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and used it to control the Jurchen tribe.

He believed that Dorgon had ambitions, too.

"The lord's orders, Dorgon will obey."

Dorgon agreed.

Dolgon and Aobai were pawns used by Mingguan to contain the Jurchen tribe.

Rows of Liaodong generals, Goryeo generals, Goguryeo chiefs, and Buyeo chieftains stood in front of Mingguan, whether they were loyal or not, they were the capital of Mingguan to capture Youzhou, and it was up to them to see how to use it.

"It's not easy for me to lay down a huge territory, and there are countless soldiers and horses, how can I surrender without a fight!"

"There are more people, grain, grass, gold and silver in the customs, so we have to enter the customs!"

"After entering the customs, you can divide all the spoils! Those who have made war exploits, princes and generals, can be taken as much as possible! ”

"Entry! Entry! ”

Hundreds of thousands of troops raised their weapons and shouted in unison, shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, resounding throughout Liaodong City!

The Liaodong Army is full of desire to enter the customs!

The Liaodong Army had already occupied the territory of Youzhou in the west, Goryeo in the east, and Heilongjiang in the north, and there was no room for expansion.

If you want to continue to expand, then you can only enter the customs!

Chu Tian occupied most of the rich lands in the Guannai, where there was untold wealth!

In order to stimulate the high fighting spirit of the Liaodong Army, Mingguan could only stimulate the Liaodong Army in the most primitive way.

Grab money, grab food, grab women, this is the easiest way to motivate!

Entering the customs, two words, but like a fire, burning in the chests of the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army!

The Jurchen tribe, under the urging of Mingguan, formed the Jurchen Eight Banners.

The Jurchen Eight Banners were a huge army, Nurhachi and Mingguan, each holding a part of the dominance, and neither of them trusted each other.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners, with various banners and armor, distinguished each other.

"Entry, entry ......"

Nurhachi, Wanyan Aguta, are also full of desire to enter the customs.

Once they enter the pass, they can obtain a large number of servants, as well as a large amount of gold and silver, and establish their own kingdom.

Mingguan's call stimulated the ambitions of various tribes, so that the tribes could not refuse this proposal for a while.

"Enter!"

The Xianbei tribe and the Wuhuan tribe were also shocked by Mingguan's call.

These two simple words, as if they have special magical powers, make the soldiers of various tribes have an extremely strong desire!

"The establishment of the kingdom by our Murong family has been put on hold for the time being. If the Ming King is like a bamboo, our Murong family is enough to be crowned king by virtue of his military exploits, and he can establish a kingdom without rebellion. If King Ming's attack is frustrated, we will try to set up another one. ”

Murong Ba thought of the benefits of entering the pass, as well as the rich land in the pass, with the help of the Liaodong army in Mingguan, it was more in line with the interests of the Murong family to attack the pass and occupy the land and plunder the gold and silver.

In troubled times, with military exploits, it is not difficult to become a king.

"After entering the customs, our Wuhuan tribe will occupy at least two or three states."

"When the time comes, the king of Ming will be called the emperor, and he will crown the leader as a prince and establish a kingdom, and when the time comes, the leader will rule over tens of millions of people, and one person will be above ten thousand!"

The Wuhuan tribe, the Wuhuan nobles of the three royal tribes, all flattered the leader.

The Wuhuan people, in the late Han Dynasty, often plundered all parts of Youzhou, and the gold and silver in the pass were irresistible temptations for them.

They were mad because of the call to enter the customs, and this time they justifiably went to the customs to loot.

"Mingguan really has the means, simple words, but temporarily condensed the loose servant army into a force that cannot be underestimated."

Youzhou, Jixian, Guo Jia learned that the Liaodong Army was preparing for war, and the entire western and eastern Liaodong were boiling because of the slogan of entering the customs.

Sometimes, a simple and direct slogan can unite people's hearts.

"However, if they want to enter the customs, they must pass through Youzhou. If you can't even capture Youzhou, it's just wishful thinking to want to enter the customs. ”

Wei Qing and Cao Cao were ordered by Chutian to garrison Youzhou, and they faced the Liaodong army, which was extremely obsessed with entering the customs.

On the periphery of Jixian County, the Yulin Army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Xiliu Battalion and other legions were stationed, and they were also strong and strong.

The snow was heavy and frozen, the fighting spirit was brewing, and all the legions were training urgently, and they had already expected that when the ice and snow melted, the great battle would begin.
