Dengzhou!

After Xu Yixian sent an envoy to Liaodong, Lu Liangzhi, the commander of the military commander's office, Yang Ji, the counselor of the military marshal's office, Li Youcai, the ambassador of the Military Intelligence Department, Qian Tianxi, the prefect of Laizhou, and Song Guangkun, the prefect of Dengzhou, gathered together to discuss with Li Xingzhi the possibility of Xu Yixian's intention to make peace.

According to the logic of normal people, once the Jingbei Army raises its banner and is difficult to appease, it will naturally attack the Beijing Division with all its might, instead of dividing its troops to attack elsewhere.

But Huang Taiji is not an ordinary person, so Li Xingzhi is not sure if he can deceive him.

"Marshal, Hong is too cunning, if the plan of peace is spread, whether the court or Hong Chengchou believes it or not, the front army will definitely be discouraged, which is inconsistent with our intention to let the Dongyu and the official army fight a decisive battle, so we think that we should pass on Hong Chengchou and the prince of Jingshi, so as not to cause panic on the front line in Jinzhou."

Lu Liangzhi first said that his feelings for the Ming court were not comparable to Song Guangkun and others, and now it was the most tense moment of the national war, and he did not want the Jingbei Army and the imperial court to completely fall out.

Zhang Wu, the general of the fifth town, laughed and said: "Mr. Lu, believe it or not, this news was sent to Hong Chengchou, and within a few days, Mrs. Hong will be able to receive that we are deceitful to make peace this time, the Guanning army in Liaodong has been in collusion with the East for a long time, and the imperial court is fortunate to have raised grain through Shanhaiguan, and at least half of it will be transferred to Shenyang intact." ”

"...... this?"

Lu Liang was speechless, he knew that what Zhang Wu said was right, when Yuan Chonghuan was killed, the imperial court clearly announced to the world, "If you use the city rice, you will steal, and if you seek money, you will be beheaded." ”

Zu Dashou is Yuan Chonghuan's confidant and the largest military leader in Liaodong, who can guarantee that his subordinates have colluded with Dongyu?

"Dashuai, the lower officials think that what Mr. Lu said is not bad, originally our plan to deceive and make peace may not be able to hide from Hong Tai, it is better to use Guan Ning and those officials of the imperial court who have colluded with Dongyu to spread to Liaodong, let's give the Tartars the opposite."

Li Youcai, the ambassador of the Military Intelligence Department, is harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but in fact he has a black heart and poisonous hands, otherwise he would not have offered Huang Wenchang a plan to integrate the displaced people into the Gaoyang garrison, and then kill the good and take the risk.

"What do you mean?"

Li Xingzhi was very interested in Li Youcai's words.

"Dashuai, if I am Huang Taiji, knowing that we are going to go to Liaodong, I will definitely deploy defenses in Gaizhou and Haizhou Lushun in southern Liaoning, especially Lushun, there is a natural deep-water port wharf, and my Jingbei Army Naval Division can drive directly to the city by sea, according to General Zhang, the city wall of Lushun has been demolished by the Dongyu, if our army rushes ashore, the Dongyu are all cavalry, and under the sudden attack, I am afraid that there will be another defeat of the Hutuo River."

"Then in your opinion, what should our army do?"

Li Xingzhi was very interested in Li Youcai's opinion.

"Marshal, the gathering of officials and troops in Jinzhou will inevitably attract the main force of the Eastern Prisoners, as long as our army can eat the troops left behind by the Eastern Prisoners, Shenyang can go down every day, it is better to write to Hong Chengchou and the imperial court, and reveal the matter of our pretense of making an appointment with the army, and then divide the troops into two ways, first attack Lushun, attract the main force of the Eastern Prisoners to the south, and then divide the troops to take Fuzhou and Hongzui Fort, so that the Eastern Prisoners are trapped and die in southern Liaoning!"

Li Youcai's suggestion was actually to fight another battle like the encirclement and annihilation of Yue Tuobu, using Lushun as a bait to attract the main force of the Qing army, and then outflanking the rear road of the Eastern Capture with a partial division.

"Your suggestion is not unreasonable, but our army does not need to attack Fuzhou, just attack Jinzhou, there is no city wall to rely on, let's dig a trench, Jinzhou is only more than 40 miles away from the coastline on both sides, we have more than 10,000 people, we can block Dongyu in two days at most."

Although the laying of Fuzhou and Hongzui Fort can also block the road of the retreat of the Eastern Prisoners, but under their broken tails, if they abandon the clothing of the soldiers and the accompanying troops, the soldiers can still break through and dig trenches in Jinzhou, and the sea water on both sides will be injected, and the Eastern Prisoners will be completely annihilated.

"Dashuai, then wouldn't we fight Lushun with a real sword and a real gun with Dongyu, otherwise we won't be able to attract all Donglu."

Song Guangkun, the prefect of Dengzhou, was puzzled, he had served in the Jingbei Army for a long time, and knew that whether it was the Battle of Gaoyang or the Battle of Laizhou, Li Xingzhi defeated Dongyu by virtue of geographical advantages and calculations.

"Then fight with them, and the commander will also weigh whether the invincible Eight Banners soldiers in the world are as the legendary generals."

"The third town, the new third town, the fifth town, the new five towns, as well as the Menglu Banner and the Han Green Banner, will attack Lushun with the commander, and General Li can take the army horses and Manchurian green flag soldiers to Guanglu Island first, and when the Battle of Lushun starts, then immediately send troops to Jinzhou to cut off the way back from the east, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, the last general will never live up to the trust of the marshal."

Li Dingguo bowed and saluted, with more than 10,000 military horses and green flag soldiers to help, and he had no possibility of being afraid of the eastern captives.

"Mr. Yang, you prepare two letters for Ben Shuai and send them to Ning Yuan and Jingshi respectively, let's also use this letter to see what kind of goods those big men in the court and Guan Ning's military leaders are."

Yang Ji is in Zuo Liangyu's place, which is responsible for the writing and surveying, and he is making the best use of his writing.

The reason why Li Xingzhi agreed with Li Youcai and Lu Liangzhi's suggestion was not only to confuse Dongyu, but more importantly, to confuse the imperial court.

"The marshal doesn't need it, the lower officials have already drawn it up, please take a look."

Li Youcai took out two letters from his sleeve pocket like a trick.

To be a subordinate is to have the consciousness of being a subordinate, Li Youcai is also a transparent person, naturally all aspects have been taken into account, and if he proposes this plan, the follow-up action steps must naturally be arranged properly.

Li Xingzhi casually opened a letter and read it silently.

"Ji Liaohong Governor Jun Jian, long heard of the name, failed to see, is really Xing's life regret, now under the attack on Jinzhou in front, this Hou was ordered to attack Liaodong in the back, exterminate the East captives, just at the right time, but the slave chief Hong is too cunning and changeable, Xingzhi only 20,000 soldiers and horses, forcibly attack Liao, I am afraid of accidents, so follow Zhou Yu's dedication to the old skills, in the name of saving Xue Guoguan, and its appointment soldiers, this Hou also raised the Shandong people to raid the Beijing Division, the real sneak attack cover, Hai Erzhou also, if the Liao land is empty, then raise troops to attack Shenyang, so the east captives on both sides of the enemy, head and tail can not take care of each other, This battle will be able to deal a major blow to the slaves. Admiral Li Xingzhi, the commander-in-chief of Shandong and Liaodong, respectfully ascended. ”

Li Youcai's book, although it did not mention that the news should not be leaked, but since Hong Chengchou can achieve the high position of Jiliao Supervisor, he can naturally hear the strings and songs to know the elegant meaning.

As long as the Eastern Prisoners announced the collusion with Li Xingzhi's envoys, Hong Chengchou would be able to use this letter to stabilize the army's morale, and those in the Guanning army who colluded with the Eastern Prisoners would be able to reveal the news, so that Li Xingzhi's "calculation" could reach Huang Taiji's ears.
