1070 The Royal Expedition
After understanding the specific battle situation in Liaoyang, Huang Taiji suddenly realized it and couldn't help but say hatefully: "This should be Lu Xiangsheng's trick. He flicked a shot and made me, the Qing Dynasty, think he was going to attack Seoul, North Korea, to divert the tiger from the mountain, so that Liaodong could send reinforcements to North Korea, and he himself immediately gathered heavy troops to plan for Liaoyang!"
"Your Majesty, maybe there is a ghost in Fan Wencheng's people. I deliberately reported us a fake news, so that I could mobilize my Liaodong army!" Dai Shan said later, feeling that the possibility is very high, so he sternly said, "It must be so, otherwise Lu Xiangsheng would not dare to lead only 20,000 troops to attack Chenyang. He was sure that this fake news could come to Chenyang!"
At this time, even Jirgalang, who had always been relatively steady, rushed to express his judgment, and said: "It is also possible that Lu Xiangsheng learned that Sony was going to discuss peace, and in order to achieve his goal, he asked Liaoyang to withdraw his horse. Then Lu Xiangsheng is a man of both civil and military affairs, and a rank of the Ming Dynasty. With such a good opportunity, even if he denies the peace talks and instead sends troops to attack Liaoyang. As long as he takes Liaoyang City, even if the Ming Dynasty capital knows the details later, he will not blame him for taking his own initiative!"
...
The Qing leaders in Chongzheng Hall were all from war. They expressed their opinions based on the messenger's report. After a word of your words or my words, it seemed that they had analyzed the entire incident clearly.
To sum up, after hearing the news of the Qing Dynasty's peace talks, Lu Xiangsheng did not think about discussing peace talks. Instead, he used the matter of peace talks to release fake news first, so that the Qing Dynasty could send troops to rescue North Korea to reduce the difficulty of attacking Liaoyang. Then he used the "sincerity" of the Qing Dynasty's peace talks to deceive Liaoyang to withdraw all the probes back to the city, so that his army could marches and give Liaoyang a surprise attack, which would give him the greatest possibility to capture the gateway of Shenyang.
After sorting out his mind, Huang Taiji almost gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "I expected Lu Xiangsheng to be a cunning person, but I didn't expect that he was so cunning! This person is so terrible, so terrible!"
Speaking of this, his face looked a little ferocious. He glanced at the ministers below and said sternly: "Lu Xiangsheng certainly did not expect that our Qing Dynasty would suddenly send someone to negotiate. In order to seize this fighter in time, he must have gone hastily, but he also made a bet. The Dongjiang Army, Guanning Army, and the new army all gathered. I dare to expect that this is all the troops that Lu Xiangsheng could gather on the front line. In order to capture Liaoyang in one fell swoop, he actually carried hundreds of red barbarian cannons. This is the time for me to rescue the Qing Dynasty! He could go out and bet once and to capture Liaoyang. Wouldn't I go out and annihilate Lu Xiangsheng's invading Ming army under the city of Liaoyang?"
After hearing what he said, many Qing Dynasty leaders saw the favorable factors implicitly, and immediately agreed. After all, Liaoyang must be rescued. If the Ming army fought steadily and gathered heavy troops, the Qing Dynasty might have no choice; and now, they all feel that at least the Qing Dynasty still has the strength to fight!
Seeing that the ministers agreed, Huang Taiji stopped hesitating and shouted loudly in a decisive tone: "I decided to take out all the stored grains and all the troops in the Qing Dynasty gathered to fight. In this battle, either the invading Ming army was destroyed or the time when the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. In this battle, my Qing Dynasty had no way out!"
"Zhe!" The Qing ministers in Chongzheng Hall all looked solemn and tragic, shouting loudly and responding to Huang Taiji.
If all the stored grains are not taken out, the reinforcements will not be able to drive out at all. And if all the stored grains are taken out, it means the consumption of food. There is still some time before the autumn harvest, and there will be no food to eat at all. Unless this battle can be won, the Ming army's materials will be seized.
In the past, there was also a misunderstanding, which caused the Qing Dynasty to make a big fight, but in the end it was just a waste of money and food. But this time, Lu Xiangsheng personally led the army and had besieged Liaoyang. There were other details combined, so there would definitely be no fake.
"Gather immediately, tomorrow morning, we must go to war!" Huang Taiji stood up and shouted loudly, "In the battle of life and death in the Qing Dynasty, all the good people should fight bravely and fight to the death!"
"A decisive battle!" Many Qing Dynasty leaders almost spoke in unison, responding passionately and loudly.
Just as everyone was receiving the order to go back and prepare, Jirgalang, who had arrived at the door, suddenly stopped and reached out to stop the others and said, "Wait!"
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised and didn't know what he meant?
Huang Taiji was also puzzled and looked up at him.
I saw a little suspicion on Jiergalang's face, and bowed to Huang Taiji and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly felt a little strange. Logically speaking, if Lu Xiangsheng wants to conquer Liaoyang with confidence, he will definitely have thought about reinforcements. The easiest way is to send troops to cut off the connection between Liaoyang and Shenyang. Even if the messenger asks for help, he will not be able to reach Shenyang. Isn't this more appropriate?"
When everyone heard this, the others were stunned. When they turned around and thought about it, it seemed that it made sense.
Huang Taiji frowned and fell into thinking.
When Jiergalang saw it, he explained again: "In the past few years, I have seen Lu Xiangsheng's methods. This person is full of tricks and must be guarded against it. I am afraid that he will have some conspiracies waiting for me in the Qing Dynasty!"
These Qing leaders naturally did not know that Lu Xiangsheng was actually just an executor. They were more of Emperor Chongzhen who provided military information behind their backs, organized military discussions, coordinated the army, and guaranteed logistics, etc. Otherwise, if they knew, they would not have said that.
Hearing Jiergalang's words, the other Qing leaders couldn't help but agree. Even Huang Taiji was no longer silent and immediately issued an order, sending the Liaoyang messenger again to ask for details.
The first messenger replied that there was indeed Ming Guoye who did not accept interception, but the number of people was not large, so it was easy to get rid of it.
The second messenger's reply was more tragic. On the way to Shenyang to report the news, he escorted his companions to stop the Ming army who tried to stop them at night. Afterwards, the messenger was excited and shed tears and said, "Your Majesty, if it were not for their sacrificial interception, it would be impossible for a slave to send the news safely. Everyone was looking forward to reinforcements, otherwise Liaoyang would not be protected... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
At this moment, no one blamed the messenger for his impolite rudeness. They all understood that the Ming army launched a large-scale attack on the Qing Dynasty, and all the soldiers of the Qing army understood that this was a battle for the survival of the Qing Dynasty. No one had a way out, and they could only sacrifice their lives and fight to the death!
Amid the man's whimpering, the tragic atmosphere of the end spreads in Chongzheng Hall again.
After a while, Dai Shan sighed and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lu Xiangsheng sent troops to attack Liaoyang temporarily. Although there were also some people who sent him to do not accept intercepting messengers at night, it was a sudden incident and could not be covered. Moreover, Amin reacted very quickly and sent a messenger as soon as possible. Once these two aspects were put together, the situation was not surprising now. This is enough to show the difficulty of sending messages from Liaoyang messengers one after another. If the old minister had expected it was good, Liaoyang would probably not be able to send the third batch of messengers."
After hearing this, Huang Taiji and others nodded unconsciously, which was considered to be acknowledging this statement. Jirgalang even walked to the messenger, reached out to support the messenger who was kneeling on the ground and cried, patted him on the shoulder, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just sighed slightly.
Huang Taiji looked at it and was also silent for a while, then decided to say, "As you all agree, go back and prepare. I will also send a visitor. If there is no messenger to arrive before tomorrow, you will not be able to delay and rescue Liaoyang immediately!"
"Zhe!" The Qing leaders in the hall responded in unison again, and finally left Chongzheng Hall and dispersed.
Soon, the city of Liaoyang became even more noisy, but it was no longer cheers and celebrations, but the sound of people shouting and neighing horses. Many Jianlu couldn't understand why there was a great victory the moment before, and the next moment Liaoyang was in danger, and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty needed to lead the army that was thriving to rescue.
Huang Taiji no longer had the heart to care about this situation. He wanted to lead the army in person. Although it was much simpler than Emperor Chongzhen, there were still many things to deal with. He was busy until night fell and had no messenger. He knew that he would not have to send out the horse-striking rewards, and it was estimated that Liaoyang would be completely unable to contact him.
After receiving the news reported from all walks of life, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sigh. Lu Xiangsheng's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain was useful in the end. The elites of the two yellow flags were taken away by Haoge. Moreover, in order to rush the road, more than half of the war horses were also dismissed. Now, there are not many cavalry troops that can be gathered in Shenyang City!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hate Fan Wencheng again. He usually acted like Zhuge Liang, but once he really did things, there were always problems. He also blamed himself for his value, and he did not hesitate to use the king of another surname to motivate him. Now, after he brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to the inner palace, he had no news. The so-called helping him to plant internal forces in the Ming army in Liaodong brought a serious shortage of troops to the Qing Dynasty.
Fan Wencheng, damn it!
If Fan Wencheng, who is in the 18th level of Hell, knew that he was so worried about Huang Taiji, he would not regret it?
By the morning of the next morning, almost all the Qing soldiers had gathered outside Shenyang City. At this time, Shenyang City was almost empty. There were originally old, weak, women and children, but in order to save food, they were all sent to North Korea.
Huang Taiji was also wearing military uniforms. He looked at the more than 20,000 soldiers who had gathered out and slowly glanced past. Seeing these Qing soldiers, they all had pale faces and skinny skin, and some were like bamboo poles. In his eyes, according to the previous elite, it was probably only the soldiers directly under the princes and princesses Beile who could be compensated.
