Near the right guard of Dingliao, a 100,000-strong Dashun army was slowly marching, braving the severe cold, constantly approaching Fengcheng.

At this moment, the commander of this 100,000 elite army is Li Yan, accompanied by Sun Chuanting and Zu Dashou and others, and Zu Dashou is introducing the terrain of this area to everyone.

"Marshal, generals, forty miles further forward is Zhenjiang Fort, beyond Zhenjiang Fort, it belongs to the territory of the vassal state of Korea......"

At this time, everyone already knew that the battle of Liaodong was not only to destroy the Qing court, but also Korea, a vassal state that had always been a vassal state, so in addition to Sun Chuanting and Li Dingguo, these Liaodong generals were very depressed.

For them, compared to crusading against Huang Taiji and destroying North Korea, there is no challenge at all, and where the palm is bigger, destroying the Li Dynasty is a matter of moving their fingers.

After all, North Korea, which has been conquered twice by Jiannu, has little ability to resist, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a lamb to the slaughter.

The crusade against Huang Taiji is different, it is the master who is so rich, even if the seized property has to be handed over to the imperial court, the credit is still there, far better than the merit of the Eastern Expedition to Korea, therefore, Zu Dashou and these people are not very willing to conquer North Korea, especially want to change tasks with others.

Seeming to have insight into the minds of Zu Dashou and these people, Li Yan looked at the surrounding environment with great interest, and said in a harmonious voice: "General Zu, don't worry, destroying North Korea is just a matter of the imperial court hugging grass and beating rabbits, by the way." After destroying the Li Dynasty, we have to turn around, go west to the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, take Huang Taiji's lair, and occupy the land of Longxing in Nurhachi. ”

Hearing this, the generals had a trace of understanding in their minds, and they couldn't help but suddenly feel that attacking North Korea, although it had the intention of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, but more importantly, Marshal Li Yan wanted to completely cut off the back road of Huang Taiji, and formed a two-sided attack with Lu Xiangsheng, Wu Sangui and others, and leveled the Tartars in one fell swoop.

After all, at this time, everyone knows that Lin Dan Khan of Chahar has made a comeback and has fought with the Mongolian Horqin tribe, and the Huang Taiji sent Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi and other Han troops to stick to the west, just to prevent the war from spreading to Liaodong and burning his lair.

Therefore, as long as the action is fast enough, once Huang Taiji is defeated in Shengjing, they will be interspersed with the hinterland of Jianzhou, run thousands of miles to the north of Shengjing, and wait for the ambush, Huang Taiji will be unable to escape, and it will be impossible to escape back to his old nest Jianzhou.

As long as Huang Taiji is captured or killed, he can clean up the remnants of the Qing court little by little, and slowly control the entire slave Gandusi.

It is not difficult to imagine that the alliance with the Mongolian tribes that Huang Taiji had painstakingly built would also collapse!

As soon as they thought of this, the generals couldn't help but get excited, the fighting spirit in their bodies was fierce, and they were full of energy, and they couldn't wait to immediately wipe out Korea, completely remove this vassal state, and there would be no more this country, so as to attack Jianzhou.

Zu Dashou and the others were no longer depressed, but they were full of ambition in their hearts and looked forward to it more and more.

Liaodong Town, at this time has been occupied by the Dashun army, on the streets and alleys, there is a wolf smoke, everywhere there are corpses, male or female, old or young, no accident, seven or eight out of ten of them are Tartars, with a bare brain, with a big braid behind the head.

At this moment, groups of soldiers were patrolling, wandering everywhere, criss-crossing and criss-crossing, and there were groups of three or five soldiers, searching the houses one by one.

There was a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, and there was a strong sense of hatred, which showed how deep the hatred between these soldiers and the Tartars was, which could never be resolved by manpower.

As the seat of the Liaodong capital of the Ming Dynasty, the grandeur of Liaodong Town is self-evident.

The Yamen of Liaodong was under martial law at this time, and soldiers stood guard on both sides of the aisle, and even soldiers climbed onto the roof to keep sentry and closely monitor everything around.

In the study, Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Sangui sat opposite each other, the latter had a solemn look on his face, lowered his voice, and asked: "General Lu, we are about to attack Shengjing, can we contact Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, and let them lead the people to revolt, so as to deal a heavy blow to Huang Taiji?" ”

"General Wu, now is not the best time for the three of them to revolt......"

However, Wu Sangui didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng's answer was like this, and the latter shook his head again and again, seeing Wu Sangui's puzzled look, and then added: "The reason why I say this is that Lu has two reasons. ”

"What two reasons?" Wu Sangui's heart moved, and the puzzle on his face gradually faded, turning into a strong sense of curiosity, and he couldn't help but interrupt Lu Xiangsheng's speech.

"First, Huang Taiji has been entrenched in the north of Liaodong for many years, especially the existence of Shengjing as the capital, and has built the surrounding area into an iron barrel-like existence, which can be called impregnable, presenting a joint defense mechanism, therefore, before attacking Shengjing, the surrounding fortresses must be pulled out one by one. Otherwise, the casualties of the army would be greatly increased, and they would often be harassed by Tartars in the surrounding pillboxes. ”

"Second, the armies of Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi are now stationed west of Shengjing, guarding against the Mongolian tribes, if they are allowed to oppose now, it will weaken Huang Taiji's forces, and it will not bring a fatal blow."

"General Lu, what do you mean ......?" A bright color flashed in Wu Sangui's mind, as if he had thought of something, and the whole person became excited, and he couldn't help but ask such a sentence, with some reservations.

"Hehe..."

However, Lu Xiangsheng did not answer Wu Sangui's question, but just smiled faintly, glanced at the other party meaningfully, and said nothing, which was quite tricky.

In Shengjing City, there was a tense atmosphere everywhere, everyone felt very depressed, as if they were about to lose their breath, from the powerful soldiers to the ordinary people, everyone's eyebrows were full of worry, and their hearts were worried and uneasy.

In the palace, Huang Taiji's living room, just like the situation in Liaodong, Huang Taiji's body also deteriorated rapidly, and his condition continued to deteriorate, but he still fought hard to meet the various princes Baylor, and Fan Wencheng stood aside.

At this time, as the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, one of the few Baturu, Ao Bai was reporting the emergency military situation, and between his words, he couldn't hide his anger.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the situation in Liaodong has taken a sharp turn for the worse, in such a short period of time, the loss of such a city, and the strength of the Dashun army are only one aspect, mainly because those generals who defend the city are greedy for life and afraid of death, which is really infuriating."

"Especially those Han troops, there is no loyalty at all, they are simply a group of soft-footed shrimp, when the Dashun army came, they almost did not make the slightest resistance, they turned against each other, and then Kaicheng surrendered."

......

With Aobai's narration, feeling the strange eyes of the generals, Fan Wencheng was terrified at the same time, he was afraid that everyone would be angry with him, and he had a trace of enlightenment, and understood Huang Taiji's good intentions, why did he send the army of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong to the west, far away from Shengjing City?
