Dai Shan divided his troops to the north and went to Nanguan, intending to converge with the puppet Qing Dynasty with the blue flag armor Lazhangjing Yierden, who had fled from Lushun, to attack Lushun and induce the Jingbei Army to pursue, in order to completely annihilate the Jingbei Army that had crossed the sea in the field battle.

Li Xingzhi, who was in Lushun, knew nothing about this, although he expected that the Qing army would definitely deploy a large army in southern Liaoning, but he did not expect that the Qing army would hide under his nose.

According to the original plan, the Jingbei Army was to borrow the hands of the imperial court and the Guanning Army to send the plan of the previous party to attack southern Liaoning to Huangtaiji, but no one could have imagined that Lushun, the gateway to southern Liaoning, only deployed 4,000 men and horses in the east.

In just one day, it collapsed under the powerful offensive of the Jingbei Army, and Li Xingzhi's plan to send reinforcements to the siege was declared bankrupt.

Huang Taiji is as cunning as a fox, it is impossible for him to be uneasy to insert secret agents in the Ming court and Guan Ning army, and he will never be easily fooled because of his peace words.

Under such circumstances, Li Xingzhi did not dare to rashly march by land.

Therefore, on the second day of the capture of Lushun, Li Xingzhi immediately summoned the generals in Xingyuan to discuss the next action strategy of the Jingbei Army.

"Marshal, according to Kolbe, the reason why Lushun only has this number of men is that the war on the Songjin side is tense, and the Nu Chief Hongtai transferred the main force of the blue flag guarding southern Liaoning to the front line in Jinzhou, and they have not received the news that we are going to go to Liaodong."

The owner of the Green Flag, Amba, was the first to report to Li Xingzhi the information he had learned from the surrendered Blue Flag Niulu Kolbe.

"Dashuai, according to the news from the sentinel ship we sent to the area of Niangniang Palace, the slave chief Hongtai really leaked the matter of our appointment with the army, fortunately, we have passed the news to Ningyuan, Hongdu did not fall into the Tartar tricks, and all the departments in Liaodong are still advancing together, steadily and steadily, breaking the Qing army in the area of Rufeng Mountain, and the main generals of the Qing army, Prince Zheng Jierharang and Dolgon, have been defeated by our Liao army and have retreated in the direction of Jinzhou."

Lu Liangzhi happily reported the information on Jinzhou to Li Xingzhi and the generals present, Hong Chengchou won the first battle, and the Jingbei Army annihilated more than 3,000 Qing troops in Lushun in one fell swoop, which was unprecedented since the rise of the Eastern Captives, and in Lu Liangzhi's view, it was the right time to eliminate the Eastern Captives.

"Hong Chengchou doesn't care about it, since Mrs. Hong leaked the matter of the appointment with me, but the morale of the officers and soldiers has not been affected, what do you think Mrs. Hong thinks?"

Li Xingzhi on Songjin's side didn't want to care, he knew that although Jilharang and Dolgon were defeated, the main force of the Qing army was not damaged, and this was probably Hong Tai's plan to lure the enemy, so the defeat of the official army was probably within this ten months.

"Lord, Tai Hong revealed the matter of our appointment with him, which shows that he has no fear of our army's sudden attack on southern Liaoning, and his subordinates think that they must have arranged an ambush in southern Liaoning, so our army has to guard against it!"

Xu Yixian, counselor of the military marshal's office, was very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's ability to see through his plan to surrender, and immediately responded to Li Xingzhi's inquiry.

"Then where does Mr. Xu estimate that the eastern captives in southern Liaoning will hide?"

As soon as Songjin was defeated, the main force of Dongyu would inevitably return to the division, and Li Xingzhi would have no chance to attack Shenyang again, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the Songjin Battle to annihilate the main force of Dongyu in southern Liaoning in one fell swoop, and he could go straight to Shenyang.

"My lord, Dongyu is as cunning as a fox, and it is an internal battle, Xia Guan really can't guess where their ambush is, it may be in Gaizhou, it may be in Fuzhou, it may be in Yaozhou, and it may even be in the mountains not far from our Lushun, but we can force them out."

Xu Yixian paused, and continued: "Our advantage lies in the sailor, according to the humble opinion, we can stick to Lushun, and even take the opportunity to consolidate the city defense of Lushun, and then enter Gaiyao Erzhou with the boat division, and break into the hinterland of the Donglu with cavalry, the ambush soldiers of the Donglu can endure it again, I'm afraid they have to come out." ”

"Mr. Xu's plan is probably inappropriate, our army broke into the area of Gaizhou and Yaozhou, and the grain route in the east was lost, I am afraid that we will give up the main force of the official army and concentrate on dealing with our Northern Expedition army."

Yang Ji did not agree with Xu Yixian's strategy, in his opinion, the Jingbei Army's expedition to Liao this time was to avoid the real and attack the false, if it was a decisive battle with the main force of the Qing army, wouldn't it be cheaper for Hong Chengchou in Jinzhou.

"Marshal, according to the opinion of the last general, our army might as well attack Nanguan directly, forcing the Qing army to ambush the troops to fight, Nanguan to Lushun can ambush soldiers and horses, nothing more than the big black mountain and the small black mountain, as long as our army pays attention to prevention, it will not fall into the tricks of the Tartars, and our army Li Dingguo is stationed in Guanglu Island, less than a day away from the big black mountain and Nanguan and Jinzhou waterway, as soon as the cannon fires here, General Li will definitely raid Jinzhou, if the Tartars do not ambush soldiers, we will take the opportunity to collect Jinzhou, and then take advantage of the situation to kill Gaizhou and Haizhou to take Shenyang."

Zhang Wu was born as a military general, in his opinion, even if there are ambushes in the east, even if the Jingbei army is defeated, as long as Li Dingguo can cut off Jinzhou, the ambush soldiers in the east are the turtles in the urn of the Jingbei army.

"Well, General Zhang is right, since we have entered Lushun, the Tartars will definitely pass the news to Shenyang and Jinzhou, Lushun to Jinzhou and Shenyang is only more than 800 miles, tomorrow the Tartars will receive the news of our betrayal, so we have no need to hide our traces, according to General Zhang's intentions, the army will rest for a day tomorrow, and then attack Jinzhou."

Relying on Li Dingguo's partial division in Guanglu Island, Li Xingzhi ignored it and issued a combat mission on the spot.

"General Su, the safety of Lushun will be handed over to your Shuishi Town, you can mobilize the people with the army to renovate the Lushun city defense, Lushun Port is a natural ice-free port, and the expansion of our Jingbei Army Shuishi Town is suitable for our army's garrison, which is also the back road of our army, you must be careful."

"The last general will obey the commander's orders!"

Hearing that Li Dashuai was going to expand the scale of Shuishi Town, Su Guodong, the general of Shuishi Town, was overjoyed, and hurriedly went out to receive Li Xingzhi's general order.

"Li Ruiben commanded you to lead the third town and the new third town as the front team, and directly attacked Nanguan."

"The last general obeys!"

"The last general obeys!"

Li Rui is also very happy, he is the old man of Li Jiashan, originally Wang Zhong and Yang Biao both led the two towns to be the admiral, but he was actually very red-eyed.

Originally, this expedition to Liao, with Li Dingguo as a partial teacher, he no longer expected to be promoted, who would have thought that just after breaking Lushun, Li Dashuai ordered his own general.

"The last general will obey the commander's orders!"

Hui Dengxiang, the general of the new three towns, also bowed down to receive the order, he joined the Jingbei Army not long ago, and he was already satisfied with being a town general, Li Rui is Li Dashuai's confidant, and he can take the opportunity to build a good relationship, and if he clears up the monarch in the future, someone will take care of him.

"Daniel Zhang ordered the soldiers and horses of his headquarters on the hour, and the day after tomorrow he and the Menglu Banner and the Han Green Banner went out with the commander, and Zhang Wu you led the army to respond to the Chinese army."

The generals and horses were divided into three teams, and they were also on guard against the ambush soldiers in the east, and Li Xingzhi, who had experienced the Battle of Laizhou and the Battle of Onyx Mountain, was not the first brother on the battlefield who was defeated by Duoduo back then.

"The last general will be ordered!"

Daniel Zhang, Zhang Wu, An Ba, Alan Chai, Li Bangjie and others received the order with a bang, and Li Dingguo was a partial division, and they were full of confidence in capturing Nanguan.
