"Baylor has had a hard time, it's September, and the cold is hitting."

Jierharang said with concern while greeting Yue Yu with tea.

"I act on the orders of the Khan, and no matter how bitter it is, it is not bitter."

After taking a sip of tea, Yue Zhen continued: "Uncle should pay attention to his body, the front line in Liaoyang depends on you. ”

"Well said, well said."

Zilharang said with a little emotion: "The Great Khan founded the Six Ministries, and Baylor was in charge of the military affairs, and he spoke more and more like a member of the Ming Court. ”

"Hahaha......" Yue Yu laughed a few times.

Zilharang laughed twice.

Putting down the teacup, Zilharang asked, "Belle, my opinion, has Belle conveyed it to the Great Khan?" ”

As soon as he arrived in Liaoyang City, he felt the change in the situation at the front.

The Liaodong Army's Kong Youde Department changed its previous defensive strategy and adopted active attack tactics.

The soldiers involved in the attack had two short guns in their hands and were good at concentrating their charges.

The blue flag folded some people for this.

"Ah, I have repeatedly reported your opinion, but the Great Khan judged that Yang Chengying sent troops this time with the intention of capturing Liaoyang and opening the door to Shenyang."

Yue Zhen said: "Therefore, the Great Khan decided to defend first and then attack, use Liaoyang City to consume the morale of Yang Chengying's soldiers, and then cut off their grain routes by surprise and break the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Liaoyang City is different from other cities, because of its important geographical location, it is an important town in the northeast.

On this basis, Huang Taiji rebuilt and erected a part of the cast Hongyi cannon on the city tower, and the food in the city could be used by the army for half a year.

After Yang Chengying's troops besieged Liaoyang, he led the Eight Banners Brigade to attack and harass from the side, and even cut off Yang Chengying's grain route, so the Liaodong Army was self-defeating.

Zilharang doesn't think so: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles." Great Khan, did you ever think that Yang Chengying wanted not only Liaoyang, but also Shenyang. ”

Yue Zhen said: "The Great Khan has thought about it for a long time, but from Liaoyang to Shenyang for hundreds of miles, even if the Liaodong Army has the heart to arrive, the grain route will be stretched. ”

"So what should the people between Liaoyang and Shenyang do?" Zilharang asked again.

"The grain has been harvested, and the Great Khan has sent someone to temporarily take them away from the manor and come to a fortified wilderness that the Han people often say."

"The Great Khan is really thoughtful."

Zilharang sighed.

Seeing him like this, Yue Zhen felt a little uneasy.

So he didn't stay in Liaoyang City for long, and after seeing Duoduo, he returned to Shenyang.

Then, report the matter to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji said calmly: "I expected that Zilharang would have this idea, you tell Duoduo and let him pay more attention to Zilharang." ”

"Before leaving, I saw Uncle Fifteen and reminded him euphemistically."

Yue Zhen's words changed: "But the fifteenth uncle seems to be a little unconcerned about the minister's words. ”

"If I hadn't had no one to check and balance Zilharang, I wouldn't have sent him."

Huang Taiji sighed.

Zilharang is the owner of the Blue Banner, and he must be the owner of the banner if he wants to balance him.

But at present, the owners of the Eight Banners have their own errands, Hauge spies on the Mongolian cavalry, and Dolgon organizes the people to clear the wilderness.

Azig was a first-class fighter, but his political skills were too poor.

As for the two red flags of Yue and Shuo, they were the two yellow flags in the hands of Huang Taiji, and they went into battle as the main force.

In the end, only Duoduo remained.

Yue Yu added: "Zilharang seems to be a little dissatisfied with the Great Khan's strategy of defending first and then fighting. ”

"What did he say?" Huang Taiji asked.

He said that Yang Chengying's appetite was far greater than before. If we don't deal with it carefully, it is likely to lead to unpredictable outcomes. ”

Yue Zhen changed Zilharang's words to be less aggressive.

He probably thought in his heart that I was treating him as an outcast. In fact, if that were the case, I wouldn't have let Dodor follow. ”

Huang Taiji said: "It seems that he has some misunderstanding. ”

"The minister thinks that there is some truth in Zilharang's words."

Yue Yu said: "We haven't confronted Yang Chengying for two years, and he hasn't been idle, maybe he has invented something powerful to deal with us." ”

"If anything, I'd like to see what it is."

Huang Taiji said confidently.

For the change in the contrast between the forces of the enemy and us, Huang Taiji has a feeling.

Therefore, he released false news, making people mistakenly think that he had raised a national army and took the initiative to start a decisive battle with Yang Chengying.

In fact, he gathered forces in Shenyang and chose to stand still.

Only a small force of sentinel cavalry was sent to investigate the situation of the Liaodong Army and look for suitable fighters.

But the news that he did not send troops quickly reached Yang Chengying.

Liaonan, Haizhou Wei.

The Guards and other Chinese troops led by Yang Chengying took a break here.

Under the flickering oil lamp illumination, Yang Chengying rode back in a chair, facing the map on the wall, quietly thinking about the next battle plan.

His eyes lingered between Shenyang and Liaoyang for a long time, who should he hit first?

It's not indecisive.

Instead, he wanted to think about the deployment of each battle on the map for a long time, and think clearly about every possibility.

Behind him, Ning Wan and the generals who accompanied the army waited quietly.

"What's next? Tell me about it. ”

Yang Chengying suddenly spoke.

He was always happy to spare a little time and give his subordinates a chance to speak freely.

This is good for the future, and they are in charge.

"The enemy did not send out a large army as we expected."

Ning Wan analyzed: "It seems that the enemy intends to learn from the battle of Hefei between Wei and Eastern Wu, and come to defend first and then fight, and when our army is tired, it will be taken by surprise." ”

"Liaoyang and Shenyang are hundreds of miles away, and Huang Taiji has implemented strong walls and clear fields in this area, which has increased the difficulty of our army's march."

Shang Kexi followed up and analyzed: "This frustrates our idea of finishing our work in one battle, Huang Taiji is really a cunning opponent." ”

"Well analyzed, what do you think should be done?"

Yang Chengying was noncommittal and asked.

Don't blame your subordinates lightly, but analyze them on a case-by-case basis.

At this time, Kong Youde said: "My subordinates think that according to this change of the enemy, it can be found that the enemy is actually showing weakness.

If our army wants to successfully achieve its goal, there is only one way, to encircle Liaoyang but not break the city. The whole army approached Shenyang, forcing the enemy to fight a decisive battle with our army. ”

"This method is not very good, first, it is easy to be cut off from the supply of grain and grass. The second is to leave Liaoyang in the rear, which is a big trouble. ”

Shang Kexi disagrees with this approach.

The crowd debated for a while, but none of them came to a proper conclusion.

They then looked at Yang Chengying one after another.

Yang Chengying smiled slightly and said, "The most important part of Huang Taiji's entire plan is how long Liaoyang City can last!" ”

He got up: "I'll teach them a good lesson this time, let them know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky." ”

The final battle plan is formulated:

First of all, a rush operation quickly swept away the scattered Houjin army strongholds around Liaoyang, cutting off the connection between Liaoyang City and Houjin.

Then, concentrate your forces and capture the city of Liaoyang, and at the same time attack the possible reinforcements of the Houjin army.
