Chapter 304: Dilemma between friend and foe

Mang Gurtai frowned, and said uncertainly, "I don't think that such a critical situation has been reached. Liaoyang and Shenyang are both fortified cities, and it took a lot of effort for our army to attack them back then. ”

"In the battle of Haicheng, they have been scared." Leng Seng Ji wiped his nosebleed with his sleeve, and pretended to say disdainfully: "Otherwise, I won't go straight back to Shenyang." Even Liaoyang only left a small number of men and horses to buy time for them to escape. ”

Mang Gurtai was simple-minded, and he had never experienced the battle of Haicheng, so he still did not have the most accurate understanding of the strength of the Ming army. Listening to Leng Monk Ji picking, he felt that it was very reasonable.

Originally, it was just a defeat. As for being so embarrassed and anxious, he is still migrating, and he has to flee to the bitter cold land of Haixi.

"Although you have a point, but Sibel also has no power and no soldiers." Mang Gurtai shook his head and said helplessly: "The Khan King has issued an edict, and he can't wait for any opportunity in Sarhu. ”

Leng Monk Ji's eyes flashed for a moment, but he was not seen by Mang Gurtai, he thought quickly, and said slowly: "Even so, what does Lord Belle think will be of staying in Shenyang?" ”

After a pause, he incited: "If Jianzhou can be kept, won't it be better than Haixi?" It's also a better choice to go back to your hometown and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, right? ”

Mang Gurtai was a little moved, not to mention him, even other generals and officials of Houjin, and they didn't want to go to the bitter cold place of Haixi.

This is the nature of human beings, who wants to live a hard life after enjoying blessings? If you are used to eating fine grains and then eating large cakes, you must feel that your throat is thin and it is not easy to swallow.

But judging from the current situation, the old slave's decision should be the right choice. If you defend Liaoshen, it will be in the hands of the Ming army.

There is no need to rush the main attack, use troops in a roundabout way, cut off the back road of Jiannu, and you can completely annihilate the enemy in Liaoshen in one fell swoop and solve the problem once and for all.

But the right choice may not be understandable, but it is just a failure, and no one will be willing to give up all the territory that has been built down for so many years.

Poisonous snakes gnaw their wrists, and martyrs break their arms. How many people in history have been able to make such a decisive decision?

"Back to the hometown of Jianzhou?!" Mang Gurtai nodded again and again, and said: "There are still some people in Fushun and Tieling, but they are led by a certain henchman, and there are three or four thousand together. Dudu is friendly with Sibeile, and the white flag led by Azig may not listen to his orders. ”

"Baylor led the army to Jianzhou, joined the four Baylors, and defeated Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang River, which is a great achievement." Leng Seng Ji showed an excited look and continued to bewitch: "The main force of the Ming army is in southern Liaoning, and I heard that there are many artillery pieces and fierce firepower. But Dongjiang Town is located overseas, and it is definitely not as strong as the Ming army. ”

Mang Gurtai nodded his head and was completely moved, "Yes, Mao Wenlong is a coward, he can only make a sneak attack." ”

Looking up at Leng Seng Ji, Mang Gurtai said: "A certain person secretly went out of the city, went to Fushun and Tieling to transfer troops, and rushed to Salhu to meet Lao Ba. As for you, do you go with so-and-so, or stay in the city? ”

Leng Seng Ji had already planned and said: "The slave still stays in the city, if there is any news, it is better to send someone to inform Baylor." ”

"Okay, that's it." Mang Gurtai stood up, limped over to the cold monk machine, and patted him on the shoulder.

………………………

Haicheng won a big victory, Jiannu went north in embarrassment, the news was transmitted to Zhenjiang through the signal tower, and then reported with fast horses, and in more than a day, it was transmitted to Mao Wenlong.

Holding the urgent military report, Mao Wenlong turned around in front of the sand table, thinking repeatedly.

Gou Zhenhuai also looked at the sand table, and probably guessed what Mao Wenlong was thinking, so he first opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Jiannu was defeated, is it to hold on to the city by city, delaying the main attack of our army?" It is difficult to judge whether to abandon Liaoshen and flee back to Jianzhou, or to a remote place in the north. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "It is precisely because of the bad judgment that Ben Shuai hesitated and was a little undecided. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Raven Pass, drew a line to Hetuala, and said, "If Jianyu wants to return to Jianzhou, our army can attack and take it urgently, and seize its base." ”

After speaking, he moved his fingers north again, and when he reached Salhu, he said: "If Jianyu wants to retreat to Haixi, this place should be the only way to go. ”

Mao Wenlong crossed his hands, hugged them to his chest, squinted his eyes and thought again.

If you want to talk about the level of understanding of Jianyu, Mao Wenlong is still above Xiong Tingbi. Especially for Nurhachi, it is not comparable to Xiong Tingbi.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi is leading the main force to fight hard, and he doesn't play any conspiracy with you. In the face of absolute strength, intrigue and intrigue really don't have much effect.

Mao Wenlong thought that Nurhachi was a very cunning guy, and the clues could be seen from his obedience and patience to the Ming Dynasty when he was in his infancy, to seizing the opportunity and fabricating reasons to gradually unify the Jurchen tribes.

In addition to this, Nurhachi was also very decisive. I will never let go of the opportunity, and when I encounter difficulties, I can also endure and not be impulsive.

For example, in the battle of Salhu, the old slave mobilized all the men and horses, which can be said to be pouring out; And when Xiong Tingbi was in charge of Liaodong for the first time, the old slave could also shrink and not move. It wasn't until Yuan Yingtai came to power that he suddenly launched and went straight to Liaoshen.

According to the battle of Haicheng, the casualties counted by the Ming army, Mao Wenlong believed that the prisoners had been seriously injured.

At present, Xiong Tingbi is leading the main force north, pressing step by step, and the front of the army is pointing directly at Liaoyang.

If Jianguo resists stubbornly in Liaoshen, then Jianzhou will not be able to take care of it, and the Dongjiang army can exert its strength to defeat the two banners and capture the entire Jianzhou.

But if Jianyu gives up Liaoshen and returns to Jianzhou with the whole division, it will be a bitter battle to meet Dongjiang Town.

If Jianyu doesn't even want Jianzhou, he will go directly to Haixi to be a savage. By failing to take swift and forceful action to stop him from escaping, the town wasted a golden opportunity.

Fu Gui is in danger - Mao Wenlong's eyes flashed, and he finally made up his mind.

Liaoshen has been the target of the Ming army in southern Liaoning and western Liaoning led by Xiong Tingbi, which is the greatest credit. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sign of Pingliao.

And although the troops of Dongjiang Town are less, and the weapons and equipment are also poor, how can they have some outstanding achievements in this battle?

Occupying Jianzhou is counted as one, and it is not counted to break through the so-called "land of Longxing" in Jianyu, but if you can block Jiannu and achieve the real "extermination of slaves", that credit -

"General Gou." Mao Wenlong turned his head, his expression was very firm, and said: "This commander is determined to enter the Raven Eagle Pass and go straight to Hetuala. If it can be broken in one fell swoop, it will march towards Salhu and block the retreat of Jianyu. ”

Gou Zhenhuai groaned slightly, couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed, and said: "Xiong Jing is slightly flat, Mao Shuai destroys slaves, complements each other, no matter how superior or inferior!" ”

Mao Wenlong secretly admired that this guy was so smart, he guessed his mind so quickly.

"If you can destroy the slaves, Dongjiang Town will be completely exhausted, and it will not live up to the emperor's grace, and you will die to repay the service." Gou Zhenhuai's face was solemn, and he said angrily: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard and attack the Crowhawk Pass. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Then there is General Lao Gou." Thousands of miles away, long live is looking forward to it, and we will be shrouded in horse leather and bury bones in green mountains to relieve the worries of my father. ”
