672 Step by step

? Night, quietly sleeping. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy].].

Qin Liangyu's words made Xiong Wei reflect many times, and his heart was heavy. The cruelty of war made him see the responsibility of a general.

"Fighting a war is going to bleed, but it can't be shed in vain!" Qin Liangyu looked at Xiong Wei earnestly, thought for a long time and said again, "The war can't be fought like this." ”

Xiong Wei didn't speak, watching Qin Liangyu become more and more entangled in the war. She had a clear mind and had her own opinion on the war.

Qin Liangyu was still saying slowly: "The Battle of Salhu is a crucial battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty for Liaodong. In this battle, Nurhachi used the method of concentrating his forces and breaking through each other, and soon broke the three-way Ming army. ”

Xiong Wei said and looked at Qin Liangyu, he wanted to hear more about Qin Liangyu's views on the war and the war situation. But look at the sky again, outside the barracks, the moon, quietly moving westward. It was already late at night, and he learned Ouyang Ying to blink his eyes a few times and said, "General Qin, it's late at night......"

Qin Liangyu saw Xiong Qi's eyes, stood up lovingly, she took a few steps, and then stopped. After thinking about it, he continued: "The Battle of Sarhu and the victory of the Houjin Army not only made its regime more stable, but also seized the initiative in the Liaodong battlefield from then on. Since this crushing defeat, the Ming army has completely fallen into passivity, and the situation in Liaodong has also undergone subtle changes. ”

Xiong Wei knew that Qin Liangyu wanted to tell him more about the battlefield knowledge and shed less blood in the war in the future. What's more important is that not only is there less bloodshed, but this blood is flowing in vain, and a large area of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty has fallen like this.

Qin Liangyu also knows these Xiong Wei more or less, but it is the first time to fundamentally recognize it like this, Qin Liangyu is like a carefree person, caring for Xiong Wei. War is more than just bloodshed!

Qin Liangyu said slowly.

"On the battlefield of Liaodong, our army was terminally ill after the battle of Salhu, Li Rubai committed suicide to take responsibility for the defeat, Yang Hao continued to stay in his original position, Li Rubai's brother Li Ruzhen replaced Li Rubai as the chief soldier, and Ma Lin was reduced to the main affairs and still guarded Kaiyuan nAd1 ("

"Hmm!" Xiong nodded.

Xiong Wei listened to Qin Liangyu's words, and at the same time thought in his heart, Nurhachi had raised troops and had captured a large area of land in Liaodong until now. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has switched from offensive to defensive, and the Later Jin side has shifted from defensive to offensive. In the end, the Ming Dynasty lost most of the territory of Liaodong, and only a small part of the land outside Shanhaiguan was left such as Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Xingshan, Tashan and other places.

Qin Liangyu spoke very slowly, intermittently. From time to time, Xiong interjected some words.

Xiong Wei was thinking that after Nurhachi captured the city, most of them looted and then withdrew his troops, really like a thief. It's just that this thief is stealing the Ming Dynasty.

Xiong Wei saw Qin Liangyu pause again, and couldn't help blurting out: "Nurhachi is a thief. ”

Qin Liangyu still didn't speak, Xiong Wei suddenly interjected, "Nurhachi is a thief", she was thinking about what Xiong Wei said.

Xiong Wei continued to say: "Although Nurhachi is also a thief. However, the victory at the Battle of Sarhu stimulated Nurhachi's enterprising spirit, and his ambition was no longer to be a thief, but to retreat after looting some supplies. It's about expanding the territory and expanding the strength, and he wants to be the king of the mountain. ”

Qin Liangyu let out a long sigh, but still didn't speak.

Xiong Wei continued: "He first went out from a house slave and became a thief, and now Nurhachi has changed from a thief to a mountain king, occupying a large area of land in Liaodong. ”

Qin Liangyu said thoughtfully: "This thief's ambition is very big, and my Daming rivers and mountains are also in danger. ”

"General Qin, our army is not defeated at the moment, and Nurhachi is only occupying some places east of the river, why are you so worried?" Xiong Wei listened to Qin Liangyu's later words, and although he understood a little, he still asked.

"Wang Huazhen wants to send troops, and he doesn't listen to Lord Xiong's dispatch, this is a major event in the army!

"General Qin, you can tell me about the battlefield. I'm also lucky to have a practical battle plan before Bear returns. Xiong Wei listened to Qin Liangyu's words and gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom.

Qin Liangyu continued.

In June, Nurhachi began to attack the Plains.

Kaiyuan is located between the Jurchens and the Mongols, and is a barrier in the northeastern part of Liao, and its geographical location is very important. The Houjin soldiers encountered stubborn resistance in Kaiyuan, and the battle was fierce. The Houjin soldiers attacked the city from the north, west, and south, and Ma Lin and others led their troops to counterattack and repelled Houjin's three attacks in a row, and Houjin was helpless.

At this moment, the spies lurking in the city opened the city gate, and the Jin soldiers entered the gate, and the city was suddenly in chaos. Due to the stubborn resistance encountered in Kaiyuan Castle, Houjin carried out a brutal massacre after breaking through the city.

Houjin killed 50,000 or 60,000 people and plundered people, livestock, and property, which remained unfinished for five or six days. The soldiers and civilians in Kaiyuan City showed valuable national integrity. When the city was broken, people were vying to hang themselves, and there were corpses hanging on every beam in the house, some whole families hanged themselves, and even children as young as five or six years old hanged themselves.

Tieling and Kaiyuan are both important towns in northeastern Liaoning, and a month after the fall of Kaiyuan, Nurhachi led an army to attack Tieling. Tieling is Li Chengliang's hometown, and the Li clan and ancestral grave are all in Tieling. Yang Ho appointed Li Chengliang's third son, Li Ruzhen, to guard Tieling.

Yang Hao suffered Li Rubai's loss in Salhu not long ago, and he also knew the special relationship between the Li family and Nurhachi, and the reason why he dared to appoint the people of the Li family was not to remember what he had eaten, but mainly to use the relationship between the Li family and Nurhachi to prevent Nurhachi from attacking Tieling. He thinks that Nurhachi will not tear his face and attack Li Ruzhen, and although Li Ruzhen is good friends with Nurhachi, even if he does not defend the country, it is impossible not to protect his family.

However, the truth is once again beyond Yang Ho's imagination. Li Ruzhen and Ben did not go to Tieling, but hid in Shenyang, not only did not go, but when Nurhachi attacked Tieling, he did not save his troops. Contrary to the coach Li Ruzhen, the soldiers and civilians of Tieling, like the soldiers and civilians of Kaiyuan, fought bloody battles to defend Tieling.

The Houjin army besieged Tieling on all sides, and the soldiers and civilians in the city united as one, under the leadership of the guerrilla Yu Chengming, Wu Gongqing, Shi Ketai and others, they bombarded with cannons and smashed with stones, giving heavy blows to the invading enemy, and the Houjin soldiers suffered heavy casualties nAd3(

When the battle was in full swing, the spy who was bought by Nurhachi, the general Ding Bi opened the door to meet the enemy, the Houjin soldiers swarmed in, and the defender Yu Chengming and other forces died in the battle, and Tieling fell.

Like Kaiyuan, after the breach of the city, Nurhachi carried out a retaliatory massacre of the soldiers and civilians of Tieling who had stubbornly resisted. The fall of Kaiyuan and Tieling opened the door to Liao and Shen in the Later Jin, and cut off the Ming Dynasty from Mongolia and Yehe.

In August, Nurhachi attacked and destroyed his sworn enemy, Yehebu, relieved his worries, and completely completed the unification of the Jurchens.

Qin Liangyu told Xiong Wei a lot of battle examples, and Xiong Wei didn't blink his eyes when he heard it. Qin Liangyu said and looked at Xiong Wei's serious appearance, poured a bowl of water and drank a few sips, and said seriously: "There are many factors for defeat on the battlefield, and it is not possible to achieve victory with a large number of people. ”

Xiong Wei carefully thought about the reasons for the defeat on the battlefield in Liaodong, judging from the several examples that Qin Liangyu just said, especially the battles of Kaiyuan and Tieling, from which the spies played a key role in Nurhachi's siege.

Xiong Wei has long known about the existence of spies, and he has been tracking them in the capital for a while.

Xiong Wei said to Qin Liangyu: "General Qin, I know about the spy. There are also Nurhachi's spies in the court, but there is really no way to know how many people Nurhachi sent and bought to be spies. These spies are really hard to guard!"

Xiong Wei couldn't help but think of Xia Yun when he thought of the spy, Xia Yun's identity had long made him suspicious, no matter whether he said it to himself or not, Xia Yun's identity had already seen through it.

Xia Yun is a Jurchen, and this Xia Yun herself admits it.

If Xia Yun is a spy, it is even more likely that Xia Yun is still the leader of these spies, then Xia Yun has lived in the Central Plains for a long time and grew up in Wei Zhongxian's mansion, and her style of doing things is very clear.

"Ah!" Qin Liangyu's face suddenly changed when he heard Xiong Wei talk about the spies, "The battle plan in Liaodong is important, but it is even more impatient to find out the spies. ”

"Then, what should we do now?" Xiong Wei also fell into deep thought when he heard Qin Liangyu say this.

Xiong Wei sorted out his thoughts and said: "Every time our army takes a step forward, it sets up a barracks and builds fortifications step by step to consolidate its position. Take it one step at a time, march cautiously, and move steadily. According to Lord Xiong's military thinking, our army takes the battalion step by step as the strategic point, which can not only prevent Nurhachi, a thief, from sneaking attack, but also prevent the spies from attacking the city together. ”

Qin Liangyu followed Xiong Qi's words and said, "Nurhachi, this thief is not easy to guard!"

"At present, our army is standing still, step by step, just waiting and waiting for the opportunity. Xiong Wei led his words to the battle plan, "If you want to beat Nurhachi hard and even find death, you must not easily use troops." ”

Qin Liangyu listened to Xiong Wei's analysis and nodded, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, the victory in Zhenjiang is indeed worth the loss. ”

Xiong Wei remembered a story about the seventy-two strategies about the camp step by step.

Zhao Jianzi (the ancestor of the monarch of Zhao Guo) prepared to attack Weiguo and sent Shi Mo to Weiguo to understand the situation.

Shi Mo didn't come back until a year after Wei Guo, and Zhao Jianzi said angrily: Why did you go for so long and come back?

Shi Mo said: I have a detailed understanding of the situation in defending the country, so I have delayed it for a long time. Now the monarch is very enlightened, and there are many virtuous people who assist him, and the country is well governed. It is not yet time to attack the country, and I advise you not to act rashly.

Zhao Jianzi heard that Shi Mo was reasonable, so he did not move and waited for the opportunity. The story is about taking power and not acting for a while, waiting for the right moment.

Xiong Wei looked at the topographic map on the table again, and said fiercely: "Nurhachi, this thief, it is useless for you to beat him. Nurhachi, the thief, must have to think ten times, ten thousand times...... There is only one step that does not give an inch, and knocks Nurhachi back step by step. ”

Qin Liangyu looked at Xiong Qi with satisfaction, nodded approvingly, and said, "Nurhachi is also like a scoundrel, if he wants money, he will die. Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water! It seems that the only way to defend Daming's home is to prevent Nurhachi, a thief, from taking the opportunity to steal my Daming rivers and mountains. ”

Xiong Wei nodded, and said worriedly: "Lord Xiong has entered the court, and I don't know if the emperor can agree to his combat requirements. ”
