The soldiers and horses of Liaodong did not suddenly start to move.

In fact, in August, Xiong Tingbi had already begun to send troops and horses to the east of the Liao River, and Haizhou Wei had actually returned to the control of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that there is no soldier-by-soldier battle, which is the result of Allah's dynamic retreat, and Xiong Tingbi has no good intention to take credit for himself.

Now, the decree of the imperial court has been issued, and the entire Liaodong is like an incomparably sophisticated fighting machine, with full horsepower and starting to take official action.

Soldiers' armor, grain, pack horses, and salaries were all in place, and the morale of the soldiers in Liaodong was unprecedentedly high.

In order to cooperate with the army, Xiong Tingbi had moved the Jingluo Mansion forward to Xining Fort, which was less than ten miles away from the Liao River, less than thirty miles away from the Sancha River, and Haizhou Wei was only an hour's away.

"Lord Jinglu, Zu Dashou has been stationed in Haizhou Wei, and his forward troops have even touched the boundary of Anshan Station, less than a hundred miles away from Liaoyang City, judging from the exploration reports from the front and Zu Dashou's excerpts, the Houjin soldiers and horses have completely withdrawn to Shenyang City - Fushun generation, and there is no soldier left behind." Yuan Chonghuan was reporting to Xiong Tingbi in the big tent about the information sent back from the front, and at the same time added his own analysis.

"Xia Guan thinks that at this time, we should release all the scouts and sweep the entire area north of Liaoyang City, especially the area east of Fushun, through the Yahu Pass, where the Jurchen arose, and the follow-up war is very likely to start here, we need to plan in advance!"

In the tent, Xiong Tingbi sat at the top, leaning on the soft collapse, except for coughing, most of the time he was silently listening to the report of his subordinates.

"The last general agrees with Lord Yuan's words," Cao Wenzhao immediately said after Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking: "Shenyang City is not the location of the decisive battle, its cavalry has many soldiers, but it is not good at defending the city, but good at fighting on the plains, plus the recent Jurchen movements, its return to the army Hetuala is the ultimate goal, my Ming and Jurchen decisive battle," Cao Wenzhao put his finger on the landmark of Sarhu: "The last general thinks that it is here!" ”

Everyone looked at the place that Cao Wenzhao pointed to.

The winter day of the forty-seventh year of Wanli sounded invariably, with heavy snow and corpses all over the field.

Five years ago, the elite of the Ming army was wiped out in Salhu, and five years later, will everything be finished in Salhu?

"Ahem, cough, the goal of the main force remains the same, steady and steady, step by step," Xiong Tingbi covered his mouth with a brocade and coughed vigorously twice before continuing: "As for the partial division, you can make some preparations in advance."

A pair of eyes swept towards everyone, and Xiong Tingbi finally fell on Qin Erbao: "General Qin, what do you think?" ”

"North of Fushun Pass, our army has always been rarely involved, if you are preparing for the follow-up battle, the last general is willing to lead troops there," Qin Erbao got up and saluted Xiong Tingbi: "If necessary, the last general can even lead troops to take Fushun Pass first, as well as the Kaiyuan area, and put pressure on the Jurchens in Shenyang City!" ”

"No, no, no!!"

When Xiong Tingbi heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "I sent you to Fushun Pass, you can only put pressure and investigate, but you must not send troops to fight!" Without my general order, you are not allowed to send a single soldier to Fushun!! ”

Sitting on the chair, Xiong Tingbi frowned and looked at Qin Erbao: "General Qin, I know that Ling has always been brave and talented, but this battle is the coordination of more than 100,000 soldiers and generals, and it is not allowed to act by one person, and the overall trend is greatly disrupted, and the overall situation must be taken first, do you understand?" ”

"The last will be ordered!"

The rest of the generals in the tent looked at Qin Erbao being reprimanded by Xiong Tingbi, and looked at each other, all of them understood.

Establish a target and establish prestige.

But isn't this candidate a little sensitive?

Qin Erbao, as a confidant of Lang Guogong, is so reprimanded, not afraid of settling accounts after the autumn?

However, after a little thought, everyone understands that the merit of destroying the country is ahead, who can care about giving face to whom?

Everything must make way for the battle of Liaodong!

When Xiong Tingbi was deployed before the battle in Xining Fort.

Zu Dashou, who had already been stationed in Haizhouwei, was in a state of indecision.

"Dashuai, there are less than 3,000 Jiannu in Anshan Station, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the cavalry is only 300 people. Zu Dashou's younger brother, the deputy chief soldier Zu Dale, couldn't wait to immediately lead the troops out and exterminate the Jurchens who moved slowly like snails in Anshanyi!

"I'm worried that there are reinforcements in Liaoyang City," Zu Dashou shook his head and added with a frown: "And the Duke of Langguo has a word first, before the arrival of the army, you can't act rashly!" ”

"I have already sent someone to investigate, most of the Jurchens in Liaoyang City have been withdrawn, and there is not one in ten households in the city, where will there be reinforcements? Big brother, the general will not be subject to foreign military orders, and he Wang Qi is far away in Beijing, can he still know what situation we are facing? Even if he is here again, in the face of such a situation, he will definitely agree to my sending troops! ”

As a pioneer, take the lead, Zu Dale is bound to win, in the face of such an opportunity, how can you not be anxious?

Zu Dashou picked up the wine glass in front of him and pondered it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to make up his mind: "Forget it, thousands of Jurchen women and children are not worth my risk."

"Big brother, when did you become so cautious and look ahead?" Zu Dale didn't care, and continued to persuade: "If you don't allow it, then turn a blind eye, when you don't know about it, junior brother, I will take the private soldiers out to hunt in a while, how about it?" ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zu Dashou was really helpless about this younger brother.

"It's not impatient, big brother, the merit of destroying the country, in the future history books, a lot of color!" Zu Dale smiled, and his two thick eyebrows were trembling: "I'm going, you just wait for the good news that I have returned from hunting!" ”

"Take a thousand private soldiers out at most, if there are more, I can't explain it!" Zu Dashou picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and did not look at his younger brother again.

"Order!" Zu Dale bowed, pressed the knife on his waist, and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Zu Dale leaving, Zu Dashou, who was sitting in the hall, was also uncertain on his face.

In fact, he was also hesitant and puzzled in his heart: Obviously, the decline of the Jurchen clan has been revealed, why should our army and heavenly soldiers be so cautious, looking forward and backward, stopping one step at a time, and saying that it is a camp step by step, but in fact, it is a waste of silver

"Let's let Da Le explore the way first," after a while, Zu Dashou finally made up his mind.

If Zu Dale's actions this time can go to a certain amount of merit, and it does not cause a transitional reaction from the imperial court, especially Wang Qi's reaction, then this time against the Jurchens, Zu Dashou also wants to do a big job according to his own habits!
