When the Ming began to tighten its forces and fully return to defense.

On the Houjin side, Nurhachi has already moved his camp to Haizhouwei and plans to personally supervise the battle.

This time, the old slave will not give Da Ming any more chance!

Under the guise of Amin leading troops into North Korea, using Haizhou Wei as a bait to lure the enemy deeper, more than 10,000 cavalry troops of the Eight Banners were actually stationed in Liaoyang City, and more than 20,000 foot soldiers were stationed in the mountains of more than ten miles north of Haizhou Wei.

First of all, the results of this battle were huge, greatly exceeding the expectations of the old slave. More than 30,000 Ming soldiers were captured, more than 10,000 Ming soldiers were killed, and a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, as well as war horses, were collected. It had just arrived in Haizhouwei, and the grain, grass and weapons that were originally used to consolidate the city's defense were all obtained by Houjin. Just after midwinter, Houjin was in urgent need of supplies, grain and grass, and in this battle, the ministers in the court could discuss the crime of Xiong Tingbi as an enemy.

Secondly, this battle hit the main force of the Ming army in Liaodong, and the Ming army lost almost more than 30% of the officers and soldiers in this battle, and lost a large number of elite soldiers.

Again, the rout of thousands of miles, the rumors, Xiong Tingbi improper command, the army is disheartened, centrifugal from Germany, no one in the Chinese army gathered the remnants, a large number of soldiers retreated, first lost Haizhou, then lost Guangning Zhuwei, and then lost Guangning City, and then the big and small Ling River, Songjin Zhuzhen Fort, the Ming army originally relied to maintain a balanced Liaohe defense line, in this battle was defeated in one fell swoop, the battle line was directly drawn to Ningyuan City, from the Shanhai Pass of the first Xiongguan of the Ming Dynasty, only two hundred miles, the cavalry came in an instant.

In the end, Wang Qi relied on his military exploits and victories to make the little self-confidence and prestige that the Ming soldiers had just established in Liaodong exhausted after this battle under Xiong Tingbi's greedy merit.

During Haizhouwei's temporary march, Nurhachi, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the sand table map, and held a pre-war meeting in the hall.

At this time, Fan Wencheng received the latest report and entered the hall to report:

"Great Khan, after the report from the front, Da Beile and Sanbeile have led the army to occupy the left and right tun of Guangning respectively, and Yanguli and Heshuotu led more than 3,000 people to occupy Houtun of Guangning, which are horns of each other, can be attacked and defended, and are less than three hundred miles away from Ningyuan City, which is defended by the Ming army."

"Xiong Tingbi has been frightened out of his courage, neither dare to organize the army to fight with our army, nor dare not directly lead the remnants back to Shanhaiguan, can only stick to a city, do stubborn resistance, this Ming Liaodong strategy, I look at it, like a straw bag," since Bayala was killed, and Heheli took over part of its blue flag forces, this is the time to be complacent.

Nurhachi returned to the upper seat and did not react because of Heheli's arrogance, but looked at Fan Wencheng: "Mao Wenlong's body is better?" ”

"Great Khan, still bedridden and unable to fight," Fan Wencheng also looked helpless, since the last time Mao Wenlong came forward to contact Wang Huazhen failed, this Ming general has been saying that he is sick in bed and avoids guests, and originally planned to let him follow Amin to send troops to North Korea, but he also missed it because he was bedridden.

"This second minister and thief, he doesn't want to repay the king's kindness, what's the use of staying!" The white flag is unified, and the first-class chief military officer Turge is angry, this Houjin general does not like the Han people, and even Fan Wencheng and others do not give face at all, and often call the second minister in person.

As soon as the word "Erchen" came out, Fan Wencheng's face froze.

"Alright," Nurhachi waved his hand and argued, "this man is useful, so let him go for the time being." ”

"Decree that the Great Beyl Daishan, the Three Beyler Mang Gurtai, the First Class Commander-in-Chief Yanguli, and Heshuotu temporarily shrink their forces and focus on occupying and operating a few important towns, towns, forts, and transportation arteries! At the same time, pay attention to the Han people and refugees, and those who are willing to lead the way as slaves can be given a little rations, compiled into the inferior slave register, and work weekdays. ”

"Minion Command!" Fan Wencheng received the will.

"In addition, it was decreed that Amin did not need to lead his troops to enter Seoul, and after collecting enough materials and population, he directly led 5,000 light cavalry to Liaonan in the west, sat in Fuzhou Wei, and guarded the pass, so that the troops of the Jiaodong Peninsula in the Ming Dynasty did not dare to cross the sea."

"Great Khan, the nearly 10,000 people that Amin plundered in Korea, as well as grain, grass and ordnance, if the cavalry goes directly west to Fuzhou, there will be no cavalry escort, and it may be on the way" The old minister Hu Erhan was worried that the North Korea would intercept Amin's retreat route.

"Lee's North Korea is a poor and sour little household. I will never dare to send troops to intercept the back road of our army, Seoul is my back house garden, and I can pick it up at will," Nurhachi was not worried about the result of this use of troops in North Korea, raised his eyes to look at the courtiers in the palace, and said in a deep voice: "You remember, the opponent of Houjin will always be the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The Ming Dynasty is a country of ten thousand times, only the change of Liaodong has not been able to hurt its bones, Mo said that Houjin is still far from being able to occupy the entire territory of Liaodong, even if it is forced to Shanhaiguan, if there is no golden opportunity, the old slave seems, there is no chance to win the Central Plains.

The old slave's dark brown eyes condensed: At present, I can only do my best, and wait for the day!

————

When Houjin began to sharpen his knives and prepare for a long-term and protracted war with the Ming army on the front line of Guangning, he was thousands of miles away, in the city of Beijing.

Lu Enguang, the former commander of the Liaodong Jinyi Guard, had already taken advantage of the night to enter Wei Zhongxian's mansion.

"Godfather!!" As soon as Lu Enguang entered the back house of the Wei Mansion, he burst into tears and wept bitterly!

"What's going on? How did you come back alone? What does this look like? What's going on in Liaodong? When Wei Zhongxian saw Lu Enguang, he was almost unrecognizable for a moment.

The once glorious commander of the brocade guard was now ragged and disgraced, running away for several days, and his face, which was originally considered heroic, became discolored, his cheeks were inverted, his bones were scrawny, and his steps were faltering.

"Godfather! That Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi was greedy for merit, did not listen to the persuasion of the small, led the troops into Haizhou Wei, was designed by the old slave, and the offensive and defensive situation of Liaodong changed overnight, not only Haizhou Wei was lost, but even the guards of Guangning City were directly lost, and now Ningyuan City is already in danger! The child came back desperately, just to report to your old man and to the emperor! Lu Enguang knelt on the ground and hugged Wei Zhongxian's calves, snorting and tears.

"What !!?" Wei Zhongxian was shocked when he heard this, and stood up directly, and kicked Lu Enguang to the ground with one kick: "Guangning City has fallen?" ”

"When the child walked to Shanhaiguan, Guangning City had already been lost."

"What about Xiong Tingbi? Dead or not? Wei Zhongxian eased his mind, sat down anew, leaned over and asked.

"I was desperately rescued by Zu Dashou and others, and now I am trapped in Ningyuan City!"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into bursts of laughter: "Hahaha!! God help me! God help me! ”

In order to suppress Wang Qi and the celebrant supervisor, Donglin directly turned his head to support Xiong Tingbi's series of aggressive military actions in Liaodong, and a few days ago he wrote a special letter to Xiong Tingbi to show his merits, and now the situation in Liaodong has reversed

"Early tomorrow morning, you will enter the palace to face the saint and tell the whole story in the morning court!" Wei Zhongxian settled his mind, walked around the ground twice, and pointed at Lu Enguang: "Don't change your clothes, you are wearing it in tatters like this!" ”

"But. . . Liaodong, Guangning and other places fell, "Lu Enguang was afraid that he would be implicated."

"Liaodong is changing, what does it have to do with you?" Wei Zhongxian's face did not change and said: "You are a commander of the Jinyi Guard, what can you do?" When the time comes, you just have to bite a sentence, it is Xiong Tingbi's greed and recklessness, which will cause the situation to fail! ”

Halfway through his words, Wei Zhongxian was suddenly stunned and asked, "Do you know that Wang Qi went to Liao?" ”

"The child doesn't know." Lu Enguang was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

These days, he only cares about running for his life, and he can still take care of inquiring about Wang Qi's news.

"The March period. It's not going to fall apart, is it? Wei Zhongxian also looked worried for a while.

It's gone today, and tomorrow it's five chapters during the day.

These two days of work are too tiring.

In addition, a Mao Wenlong tortured me to the point of collapse.

Is it so controversial?

Every day there are people talking about it the day after tomorrow.
