Chapter 161: Rumors are spreading
..
"Wu Keshan, what's the matter with you? Didn't you go to Shenyang and Tieling to pursue a small number of Ming troops? "
Wu Keshan was shocked, and finally calmed down when he saw Oba and Nurhachi, and took a few breaths before saying: "I found that the Ming army was lurking in the mountains south of Tieling and several small fortresses, and was ambushed and defeated. "
Oba felt incredible when he heard it, Shenyang and Tieling were all places where the Houjin fell, and these Ming troops were so powerful.
"How many are there?"
"I don't know, I heard the self-proclaimed Sichuan army Zhang Shenwu ......"
"it!" The Jiannu soldiers who heard it at the scene almost fainted, and now this name is like thunder to them, which can make the Jianzhou Jurchen children stop crying.
Oba looked at Houjin's face changed, and then looked at Wu Keshan's miserable appearance, knowing that this was a hard stubble.
Wu Keshan's side, flashed Sony.
"Tell the Great Khan and Oba Khan, Zhang Shenwu does not have many people, it is estimated that there are only 200, but a sudden attack in the dark night, and his people are very capable of fighting, will cause such a big loss."
Huang Taiji saw the stitches and said: "This is just a small unit, and it was the main force that attacked this side last night." "
He sent his henchman Sonny over to play this kind of coordination role, so that Oba would focus on these Ming troops instead of thinking about Liaoyang.
Nurhachi's expression was extremely serious: "Oba Khan, your people were killed by a sneak attack by the Ming army, don't you want to take revenge immediately?" "
As soon as Oba was said this, he began to fall into the trap.
Nurhachi and Huang Taiji flickered for a while, and Oba was obedient this time, first avenging the small Ming army, getting rid of these guys, and then going to besiege Liaoyang.
"Our scouts found that these Ming troops had burned the camp supplies and are now retreating towards the Liao River, so let's send troops to pursue them."
Oba patted his chest and said, "Okay! I send 5000 cavalry! "
Nurhachi also asked Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai to pursue together.
This time, because it is necessary to cooperate with the Kol Secretion Department, it is justifiable to be headed by Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai to cooperate.
Soon after the departure of the Zhengbai Banner, the Zhenglan Banner and the 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, another messenger came from the southeast to report.
When Nurhachi heard this, he laughed.
Dai Shan asked, "Why is Father Khan laughing?" "
"There is news from Liaoyang, the rumors in the city have an excellent effect, and the blue flag is about to arrive."
Nurhachi immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to rest as soon as possible, and soon they would choose one of the two to continue the battle in Liaohe and Liaoyang.
......
Inside the city of Liaoyang.
Yuan Yingtai has been sending people to pay attention to the situation of his soldiers and horses.
As a result, it took a day to find that Zhao Shujiao was gone, and after checking again, his soldiers and horses were still there, but there were many fewer auxiliaries and mules and horses outside the city.
"Deserter!"
Yuan Yingtai immediately made a decision and defined them for sex.
This is the knowledge of officialdom, as long as the hat is buttoned big enough and the reputation is stinky, the other party will jump into the Yellow River and it will not be able to wash it away.
Zhao led a martial artist in the diocese, he was a small general, and he should kowtow and kneel when he met the county order, and now he dared to directly disobey the order of this scripture.
I really don't take this official seriously.
At this time, he immediately wrote to the imperial court and denounced Zhao Shujiao's "crimes" to Donglin Qunxian.
The pen of the civil official, the knife of killing, was written in an hour enough to kill Zhao Shujiao, and it was Donglin's own people in power in the court.
This time, killing this Zhao Shujiao Liwei and telling a benevolent, righteous and honest Qingliu like this official is definitely not something that a martial artist can shake his face.
As soon as he sent off the concerto, there was suddenly an urgent military situation.
"What's the situation!"
Yuan Yingtai heard a variety of true and false news from scribes, scouts, generals, and big households.
Some intelligence says that Nurhachi defeated the Yugoslav army and the enemy won a complete victory.
Some say that there were traitors in the southern army and led Nurhachi to cross the Hunhe River completely.
Others said that the blue flag suddenly attacked, ()... co
..
It is only 20 miles away from the east of Liaoyang City.
Most of this is fake news, which has been added to the rumors of female cadres.
Yuan Yingtai panicked suddenly.
"The situation is a little bad, first send troops to defeat the blue flag and stabilize the morale of the army!"
At the same time, rumors began to appear in the city of Liaoyang, initially in the markets around some shops, restaurants, and military camps, and gradually spread widely in Mongolia and Han people, with a variety of contents.
"The southern army fought alone, was defeated by the Jurchens, and had fled westward."
"I heard that some generals saw more than 100,000 Jurchen troops besieging the city and knew that they couldn't hold it, so they took the initiative to open the city and surrender with their troops in order to keep their family property."
"Jiannu, no. After the Jurchens entered the city, they did not kill the people, and the Han and Mongols could divide the land as long as they were their coats. "
"The southern army lost the battle, some people surrendered, and told the Jurchen that there were not many defenders in Liaoyang, no one was willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty, and as long as the Jurchen army besieged the city, it would be self-defeating."
"I heard that the border army and the southern army have a grudge against the Mongols, and they want to kill the Mongol army and the Mongols."
"But isn't it, I heard that the Southern Army and the Border Army have always opposed the admission of Mongolian refugees, and even more opposed to allowing the Mongols to join the Ming Army."
"I have also heard that the Liaodong generals have business relations with most of the Mongols, and they are willing to accept Mongol refugees and accept Mongols into the army."
"I heard that the 100,000 Jurchen army that occupied Shenyang has crossed the Hunhe River and is joining forces with the 50,000 Horqin Mongol army to move south."
The rumors spread more and more, and some Ming army generals saw the problem, which must be Jiannu's use of female cadres to spread rumors, thus causing chaos in the city.
Rumors and panic arose in Liaoyang City, and there were more and more strangers coming in and out of the Mongolian army recently, and Yuan Yingtai did not go to convene a meeting of the leaders of the Mongolian army, so that they could patrol or go out of the city to reconnoitre.
In fact, this Mongolian army also had female cadres mixed in at that time, they were two preparations with a red heart, and their purpose was to respect the strong, and they would take refuge in whichever side was strong.
They are very well informed about the battle in the south of the Hunhe River, and those mercenary merchants will tell them the news at any time. They are still waiting and seeing.
In this unpredictable situation, they were very cautious, and they remained neutral along with the rumors. Yuan Yingtai didn't dare to go when he was summoned, for fear of being cut by the ambushed knife and axeman, so he kept announcing the tune.
Inspector Zhang Quan and chief soldier Liang Zhongshan all arrived to listen to the various rumors in the city reported by their subordinates.
Zhang Quan persuaded Yuan Yingtai to control the whole city, and those who spread rumors should be killed. Jing Liu personally led the elite and directly took down the Mongol leaders, broke their existing structure, and re-divided and incorporated these Mongol soldiers.
Yuan Yingtai completely rejected these practices as contrary to benevolence and righteousness.
The Ming army had scouts to reconnoiter and found that the blue flag was indeed 20 miles east of the city. z.br>
As soon as this was confirmed, Yuan Yingtai believed that the other rumors were also true, and when the Southern Army messenger told him the true situation soon after, he would be suspicious.
Zhang Quan was furious and almost drew his sword with Yuan Yingtai, but the military situation was urgent, and now he had to hurry up and confront the enemy.
In particular, the clear blue flag has arrived.
Whether to fight or defend, we must make a good choice. ... co
