"Sanbeile, do you want to send someone to Ming to tell the Great Khan about this matter?" Before leaving for Shenyang, Derge asked Amin Dao.

Amin was silent for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

Derg class silently.

The Ming army launched a counterattack in Liaodong, and its own side lost thousands of soldiers, and such a big thing happened, so it was natural to send someone to report to Huang Taiji in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and there was no way to hide it.

Ke Dege knew that he had won such a big defeat, and once Huang Taiji knew about it, he would be severely punished.

Therefore, he hoped to report to Huang Taiji after all the invading Ming troops were annihilated, and Huang Taiji's anger would be much less relieved at that time.

"The Great Khan is leading his troops to fight in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, if he knows that the rear is attacked, he will definitely be worried, I am afraid that it will affect his strategy for the Ming Kingdom. Since we still have enough troops to defeat the Ming army, why bother the Great Khan. Derg muttered.

"Old ten, you don't know the temper of the Great Khan, you conceal the war situation and don't report it, I'm afraid we will be punished more severely afterwards!" Amin snapped.

"I know what you're worried about, Lao Shi, you may not have no chance to make meritorious contributions when you go to Shenyang. In order to cooperate with the Ming army in southern Liaoning, Liu Xingzuo will inevitably lead troops to threaten Shenyang, you don't have to rush to a decisive battle with Liu Xingzuo, as long as you can delay its march speed and block it in the mountainous area, it will be a great achievement, and when I destroy the Ming army in southern Liaoning, we will attack in two ways and slaughter Liu Xingzuo's bastard!

As for whether the Great Khan will be disturbed by this, that is not something you and I should worry about. As long as you and I explain the situation to the Great Khan, the Great Khan is eloquent and strategic, and will naturally make a decision! ”

"I see." Derg lethargic said. Compared with going to Shenyang, he preferred to stay in Liaoyang, and hoped to lead the troops to fight another battle with the cavalry of Liaoxi.

"By the way, third brother, when you are fighting with the Ming army, you must pay attention to the Liaoxi cavalry, their wall-riding tactics are too disgusting, and they are completely fighting for their lives. And the heavy armored cavalry, which is also difficult to deal with. Before leaving, Derg reminded.

"Don't worry!" Amin sneered, "What kind of heavy armor iron riders, let's play with the rest of the stuff and see how I deal with them!" ”

Since occupying the Liaoshen Plain, most of the banner people have moved from the old land of Jianzhou to live in the Liaoshen area. Compared with the mountainous area of Jianzhou, the Liaoshen Plain has fertile land and flat terrain, which is more suitable for life.

Almost seventy percent of the bannermen and their families moved to the plains, built hundreds of villages on the plains around Liaoyang and Shenyang, and reclaimed fields and established manors around the villages.

After all, Helaatu is the old capital of Dajin Kingdom, Jianzhou Wei has all the ancestral graves of the banner people, there are a large number of reclaimed fields, and more importantly, you can hunt in the mountains and forests, and many banner people are reluctant to leave their hometown.

The remaining Yicheng banner people are distributed in the mountainous areas on the east side of the peninsula bordering North Korea, such as Kuandian, Phoenix, and Zhenjiangbao, and now seven or eight castles such as Zhenjiangbao and Phoenix were captured by Liu Xingzuo, and there are as many as 1,000 bannermen who were killed, and thousands of bannermen's families died in the hands of Liu Xingzuo.

In fact, Amin hates Liu Xingzuo more than Zhou Yuji and Cao Wenzhao, but the place where Liu Xingzuo is located is a mountainous area, and Zhou Yuji and Cao Wenzhao's army is about to attack the Liaoshen Plain, so the top priority is to solve the coalition army of Zhou Yuji and Cao Wenzhao first.

Derge went to Shenyang, and Amin sent an order to the entire Dajin Kingdom in the name of staying behind in Dabeile, summoning all the bannermen and strong clothed soldiers.

In just two or three days, except for the bannermen in the Jianzhou Mountains far away from the plain, all the bannermen in the Liaoshen Plain came to Liaoyang City, and quickly formed an army with Niulu as the preparation unit.

The special system of the integration of the military and the people in the Eight Banners gave Jiannu a powerful and unparalleled mobilization ability and could quickly mobilize all the forces of the country. Compared with Jiannu, the mobilization ability of the Ming court is really poor!

In order to prevent the Ming army from burning, killing and looting, while mobilizing the bannermen, Amin ordered that the walls around Liaoyang City should be cleared, and all the bannermen and women in the villages and towns quickly withdrew into Liaoyang City.

Huang Taiji was leading the main force of the Eight Banners to sweep and loot in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and Amin was afraid that the Ming army would also come to Dajin Country like this. The national strength of the Dajin Kingdom is too much inferior to that of the Ming Kingdom, and it simply cannot withstand this kind of attrition.

Of course, the arrival of the family members of the banner family will make Liaoyang City overcrowded, and it will also make Liaoyang City's food shortage and prices soar, and this winter will be even more difficult!

If it's difficult, it's hard, maybe it won't take long to annihilate the Ming army, maybe it won't be long, and the Great Khan will send someone to send back the food wealth looted from the Ming Kingdom, Amin said secretly.

To Amin's surprise, the Ming army's marching speed was too slow, and a few days had passed, and it had just passed Haizhouwei, and it was still forty or fifty miles away from Anshan Yidu. After Anshan Station, it is considered to officially enter Liaoyang, and it seems that the Ming army did not intend to burn and loot the people of Dajin.

This made Amin happy, but also a little contemptuous of the Ming army generals, the two countries were at war, and naturally they did everything. If he was a general of the Ming Kingdom, after he had just defeated the Derge, he would send thousands of light cavalry to rush around Liaoyang, killing women and children in various villages and creating panic. At that time, I didn't have time to react, and I didn't have time to clear the wilderness, in that case, I don't know how many women and children would die under the sword of the Ming cavalry!

The use of soldiers is too rigid and lacks change, this is the consistent temperament of the generals of the Ming Kingdom, Amin is a little skeptical, wondering how the Derge class will lose to such a Ming army?

However, this is very beneficial to himself, so that he has enough time to move the people of Tunqi from the village south of Liaoyang into Liaoyang, and virtually avoid a lot of losses.

The Ming army marched slowly, so that Amin put his mind at ease, with these few days, the bannermen have been assembled, and now there are 20,000 soldiers in Liaoyang City, a total of 30,000 troops, and now Amin hopes that the Ming army will come quickly.

Take the initiative to attack the Ming army? After being defeated by the Ming army from Derge, Amin gave up this idea, there was a strong Liaoyang city to resist, why bother to fight a field battle with the Ming army?

Let the Ming army come over as much as possible, the closer to Liaoyang City, the longer the Ming army's battle line will be, and then as long as you send a cavalry around, you can easily cut off its supplies and cut off its food and grass! At that time, the Ming army, which is alone in the depths, will only have one way to lose!

This time, Amin was very patient, he decided to fight a good battle with the Ming army, and at the same time annihilate the Ming army, he also made his own casualties as few as possible, the population of Dajin Country is too small, and he can't withstand the casualties like the Derge class last time!

Now, Amin has a great grasp of defeating the Ming army, and he is most worried that the Derge class must not rush forward, and don't rush into the mountains with a tropical soldier and take the initiative to find Liu Xingzuo for a decisive battle.

In Amin's eyes, Liu Xingzuo is just a clown who jumps off the beam, as long as he can defeat the Liaonan and Liaoxi coalition forces, there is not much difficulty in destroying Liu Xingzuo!

......

The Derg class didn't rush forward, and his head remained calm.

But Amin didn't guess wrong, Derge did have the idea of fighting Liu Xingzuo as soon as possible.

The current Derge class needs meritorious service, and only by making enough meritorious deeds can the shame of losing thousands of soldiers be washed away!

Without Amin's order, Derge did not dare to lead the troops to take the initiative to find Liu Xingzuo for a decisive battle, he was afraid that if he did that, Amin would put all the responsibility on himself, and the defeat and disobedience to the command, even if he could defeat Liu Xingzuo, he would usher in Huang Taiji's monstrous anger in the future.

It is not possible to take the initiative to fight Liu Xingzuo, but you can find a way to force Liu Xingzuo to come to Shenyang as soon as possible!

Derge thought of a way to attack Liu Xingzuo's family!

Liu Xingzuo was very anxious to return to Mingming, and left his mother and family members in Shenyang, including the wives of Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingzhi's brothers.

Liu Xingzuo's wife was a daughter of the clan, and the Delge class couldn't do it, so he ordered someone to arrest the wives of Liu Xingzhi, Liu Xingji and others, and rewarded them all to his subordinates after insulting them.

Then Derge ordered to kill Liu Xingzuo's other family members, leaving only Liu Xingzuo's mother and a few young children, and then sent someone to send the head to Phoenix and told Liu Xingzuo that if he did not arrive in Shenyang within ten days, he would continue to kill, killing Liu Xingzuo's children first, and then killing his mother.

"Dog's Day Kennu! Big brother, let's go to Shenyang and rescue my mother! Looking at his wife's head, Liu Xingzhi was furious, and he drew his knife to slaughter the Jiannu messenger who sent the head.

"Ten Belle said that if I could not go back, he would cut off both of your mother's arms, and if you were not afraid of your mother's sin, kill me." The flag Ding was not afraid at all, and said proudly.

"Old Five, stop!" Liu Xingzuo snatched the steel knife from Liu Xingzhi's hand.

"Ah Cai, Nannan, I'm sorry for you." Liu Xingzhi knelt on the ground, holding the heads of his wife and young daughter, and burst into tears.

I have to say that the brothers Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingzhi were able to abandon their families and flee back to Daming, and they had already thought of the fate of their families in advance, and the brothers were all ruthless people. However, no matter how hard-hearted he is, when he looks at the head of his loved one, he will also be sad.

"I won't kill you, you go back and tell Derge that within ten days, I, Liu Xingzuo, will definitely lead my troops to Shenyang, and I will definitely behead his head to commemorate my dead relatives!" Tell Derge that if my mother dies, I will kill a thousand slaves to pay for my mother's life!" Liu Xingzuo said calmly, and then waved his hand and ordered someone to take this Jiannu flag man down.

"Big brother, are we really going to Shenyang?" Liu Xingzhi wiped his tears and asked Liu Xingzuo.

Liu Xingzuo shook his head: "Of course I won't go, I'm just deceiving Dege." ”

"But in that case, the mother and several of her children will definitely die." Liu Xingzhi said.

Liu Xingzuo sighed: "Fifth brother, from the moment we return to the Ming Dynasty, the fate of my mother and family members is already doomed, but it is only a matter of time." Old Five, this time we captured Zhenjiang Fort, captured Phoenix City, and captured five or six fortresses and dozens of villages, and more than 1,000 Jiannu banners died in the hands of our brothers, and there were as many as five or six thousand Jiannu people. We have killed so many Jiannu, even if Huang Taiji is in Shenyang, how can he let his mother go? ”

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and we can only choose to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. But big brother, I swear again that I will kill Derge to avenge my mother and family! Liu Xingzuo swore an oath.

"But since we want to kill the Dege, why don't we go to Shenyang?" Liu Xingzhi asked.

Liu Xingzuo sneered: "Shenyang is the nest of Jiannu, guarded by heavy troops, with the army in our hands, we can't capture Shenyang at all, but it is very likely to be defeated by Jiannu." Knowing that the Derge class was trying to provoke me and provoke me to go to Shenyang desperately, how could I fall for his agitation?

Originally, I couldn't make up my mind, should I listen to the words of Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji, and go to Liaoyang to join them, but now, I have decided, let's go to Liaoyang! ”

"But big brother, didn't you say that if you go to Liaoyang, the front will be too long and the supplies can't keep up? What if the food and grass are broken? Liu Xingzhi was embarrassed.

Liu Xingzuo smiled coldly: "Let's burn, kill and loot all the way, the grain, cattle and sheep that we snatched from Jiannu are at least enough to eat for more than a month, and from here to Liaoyang, there must be many Jiannutun villages along the way, and there should be no problem with grabbing the grain for two months." And two months is enough time to separate the winner from Jiannu! ”

Liu Xingzhi shook his head: "We have 15,000 Pidao soldiers and 3,000 Praetorian Guards, this is only 18,000, even if you add the surrendered Hannu Baoyi, it is just 20,000 horses, and we have to divide the troops to stay in Phoenix City and Zhenjiang Fort, even if we add Zhou Yuji and Cao Wenzhao's troops, the total strength is definitely less than 30,000, and most of them are Dongjiang soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Jiannu Eight Banners." Big brother, how can Jiannu have 30,000 troops, with the same strength, how can we be Jiannu's opponents? Not to mention defeating Jiannu in two months. ”

Liu Xingzuo shook his head: "Old Five, you have forgotten a little, whether it is us or Zhou Yuji Cao Wenzhao, they are just partial teachers." The real main force is the 30,000 Praetorian Guards commanded by Lu Jinglue! When we arrived in Liaoyang, we joined forces with Zhou Yuji Cao Wenzhao, with a total strength of nearly 30,000, and Jiannu must try his best to resist us in Liaoyang, and then how empty will the rear be? Lu Jing slightly led 30,000 Praetorian Guards to strike a blow, who else could stop it? And where does it take two months? ”

"If the Derge class wants to lure me to Shenyang, he must have prepared enough troops in Shenyang to deal with us! I want to go the other way, enter Liaoyang, and force Derge to transfer troops from Shenyang to Liaoyang, so that its rear will be even more empty! Liu Xingzuo sneered.

"Big brother is right!" Liu Xingzhi waved his hand violently, his expression was extremely excited, "This battle, maybe we can directly take down the old nest of Jiannu, our brothers have made such a great achievement, and it is enough to gain a firm foothold in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

In this battle, the brothers led the partial division to attack the city, killed nearly 10,000 women and children of the Jiannu banner, and restrained a large number of Jiannu troops, and the contribution was not small. After the war, the Ming Dynasty will definitely reward meritorious deeds, and the eldest brother, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, will inevitably be stable, and he can also be a general and deputy general. Thinking about the upcoming fame, Liu Xingzhi was extremely excited.
