Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei Chapter 220

"Fifth brother, let's have something to eat."

After the Jinshuai tent, Dorgon took the food sent by his subordinates and brought it to Manggurtai, who was busy with military affairs.

But Mang Guertai, as if he had never heard of it, still stared at the military intelligence report in his hand.

Looking at Mang Guertai's appearance, Dorgon also had mixed feelings in his heart. He pursed his lips. In the end, he didn't say anything more. He put down the food and silently exited the handsome tent.

As the deputy commander of the army, he naturally understood how terrifying the oppression brought by the Beihou of Daming Town.

If you say that before, he took up the position of the head coach of the fifth brother who abandoned his father and fled back from defeat. After a small-scale trial, after being easily pressed and rubbed on the ground by the Duke of Zhenbei, all his criticisms, contempt, have also been wiped out.

Even, he couldn't help worrying that even if Liaodong's plan was achieved, and the main force of Later Jin arrived, would he really be able to defeat the Beihou of Daming Town?

Or, did the commander-in-chief not take into account the possible changes in Liaodong?

Looking at the stretch of Daming Army Village in the distance, the surging Sun and Moon Daming Flag, Dorgon was also a little dazed.

Just a year ago, the Ming in his memory was still so rotten and weak, vulnerable to a single blow.

However, just because of the existence of Zhenbeihou alone, it completely changed everything.

Help the building to collapse, turn the tide before it collapses!

Until now, standing in front of them like a mountain...

"If you lose this time..."

Suddenly, this terrifying thought appeared in Dorgon's mind uncontrollably.

lost...

Dorgon couldn't imagine the consequences...

In fact, what Dorgon can't imagine is an established fact in this coalition army commanded by Li Xiu, and it is a good interest that has been divided up.

It's just that the various Mongolian ministries who are fighting with Daming now, including Lin Danhan, also know clearly that they are divided up and divided, even if it is something that Zhenbei Hou tacitly agrees, but it will never be promised by Zhenbei Hou. will be the real truth.

Just like the terrifying pressure Li Xiu brought to Mangultai Yu Dorgon, Lin Danhan and the Mobei Mongolian tribes under Li Xiu's control will naturally only feel more deeply and thoroughly.

If the tribes who are dedicated to the Ming Dynasty are still fine, there is no need to worry about anything, such as Lin Danhan, who have unruly hearts and have their own planners, that is the real anxiety and fear.

Li Xiuzhi's existence, to them, is like a majestic mountain, suppressing them.

It seems that as long as there is a slight misconduct, the mountain will crash down, crushing them to smithereens.

Although Li Xiu was aware of all of this, he didn't take it too seriously. The grassland is still martial, and worshiping the strong is a more profound nature than that of a farming nation.

Even if the strategic goal is achieved this time, it will leave a lot of trouble in the grasslands. It is a good thing that his prestige can be suppressed for a while.

Compared with foreign troubles, the mess inside Daming is the real worry.

In handsome account.

As usual, a thick stack of envelopes from the capital was placed on Li Xiu's desk.

In fact, this war, from the very beginning, Li Xiu's attention has never been fully focused on this war.

The messengers to and from the capital are also in an endless stream every day, including the connection between him and Zhu Youjian, as well as news from Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xungui, and the civil servants he gathered.

Such a multi-pronged approach is enough to allow him to grasp any slightest change in the situation in the capital in time, and make some targeted arrangements.

Of course, the most important thing is the physical condition of the emperor.

After flipping through the letters that arrived at the camp, Li Xiu's somewhat uneasy heart was also calmed down a lot.

As far as the war is concerned, he has absolute confidence, but if there is a change in the capital, it is hard to say anything.

Fortunately, after several months of expedition, everything is still calm, the Son of Heaven, his body is also normal, and there is no sign of deterioration.

After reassuring, Li Xiucai turned his attention to the military affairs on the other side of the table.

When he turned to the report that Yan Shun sent, Li Xiu's brows also wrinkled.

"Liaozhen... Yuan Chonghuan..."

Whispering softly, Li Xiu also habitually tapped the desk lightly as his thoughts flowed.

According to Yan Shun's report, Liaozhen seems to be... somewhat abnormal...

In the sound of these knocks, Li Xiu's mind was also slowly sorting out all the news about Liaozhen...

"Liaozhen... It's really unusable!"

Finally, the percussion stopped suddenly, and Li Xiu also sighed.

In a state of vigilance, many things cannot stand scrutiny.

The connection between cause and effect is also clear...

After a moment of silence, Li Xiu also got up slowly, his eyes focused on the map of the Great Ming Dynasty, and finally settled on the place in eastern Liaoning.

At first, his vigilance against Liao Town stemmed from the nature of Liao Town's self-respect for bandits, but now, through Yan Shun's report, the situation seems to be more than that.

Then, the situation seems to be a bit wrong...

After a long silence in the tent, Li Xiu's voice suddenly sounded.

"Go on and order the battalion generals and the Mongolian leaders to enter the account to discuss matters. Also, immediately send this letter to Yan Shun of Liaodong..."

Liaodong, Tashan!

Tashan, which was originally an important town in Liaodong, became an indestructible military town after Yan Shun led his army to garrison.

But now, at every moment, it can be seen that the soldiers in the city are busy, and they are constantly strengthening the city defense facilities.

More than ten miles south of Jinzhou is Songshan City, more than ten miles southwest of Songshan is Xingshan City, about twenty miles southwest of Xingshan is Tashan City, and dozens of miles southwest of Tashan is Ningyuan, another important military town of Daming outside the customs.

There is no doubt that Tashan, the important town in the rear, is undoubtedly the best choice for the strategic purpose of supervising and deterring wars.

Therefore, after leading the army into Liaozhen, Yan Shun decisively led the army and the heavy grain and grass to enter this important town in eastern Liaoning.

The war in Liaodong has already started, but in Yan Shun's view, he really can't imagine that the war can still be fought in such an embarrassing state on such an indestructible line of defense that the imperial court has spent countless manpower and material resources forging!

The Guanningjin Line of Defense, as the name suggests, is a line of defense built with the three absolute military towns of Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou. In the middle of these three military towns, there are countless large and small forts, filling any possible loopholes.

With such a line of defense, in Yan Shun's view, if Houjin were to attack, it would be difficult to threaten any of the castles behind.

Fighting around the city is a big taboo in the military, not to mention a strategic line of defense like Guan Ningjin!

But this is not the case.

Between Ning Jin, Houjin can come and go freely. With so many castles, Houjin only needs to leave a force to deter him. The defenders in the city are like quails, stay in the city honestly, and dare not have anything with Houjin. Courage to fight head-on.

The line of defense that should have been advancing, attacking, retreating and defending, and giving play to strategic leadership, has completely lost the option of attacking, leaving only defense, and it is really a defense that is completely huddled in the city...

The strategic dominance that should have been in Daming's hands was completely lost, and Houjin was in the hands of Houjin, who could attack and retreat.

In this magnificent defense line that Daming spent countless manpower and material resources forging, you can come and go freely just like following your own back garden!

The war was able to reach this level, and Yan Shun looked down upon the Liaozhen frontier army, which was once called the first elite of the Ming Dynasty.

He even thought that if the general led the army here and Houjin dared to be so reckless, the so-called Houjin would probably cease to exist long ago.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Shun's carefully selected rear town, the word rear, has obviously lost its meaning. With Hou Jin looting at will, Ning Jin is all on the front line, and there is no rear. Arguably.

This situation naturally disrupted many of Yan Shun's plans. It is naturally impossible not to participate in the war. Moreover, if you do, the defending city of Liao Town is really just defending the city. It is estimated that there will not be any who will support themselves.

If so, then the strategy has to be changed.

As long as he nailed it here and let Houjin see the sharpness of the Jingying army, then Houjin would never dare to easily mobilize the main force to go to Monan, and the task given by the general could still be completed.

However, this expectation seems to have gone wrong.

Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Tashan, and the supply of food and grass naturally needs to pass through Liao Town. Recently, the number of times that food and grass have been attacked and burned by Houjin Rangers is also increasing.

Tashan is the rear, after Tashan, it is Ningyuan, after Ningyuan, it is Shanhaiguan, after Shanhaiguan, it is about to reach the capital...

In this way, the rear of the rear, and the rear of the important town, can't even keep a grain route...

This is no longer a question of cowardice of the generals. If there are no tricks in it, Yan Shun will not believe it.

After reporting his guesses to Li Xiu~www.mtlnovel.com~ he no longer had the slightest hope for this Liao Town, and decisively invited a battalion of Liao Town soldiers out of Tashan City, and ordered them at the same time. The only cavalry battalion under his command went out of the city to guard the food route, and seized the time to stock up on food and grass.

But whether it was Houjin or Liaozhen, it was obvious that Yan Shun would not be given time to prepare calmly.

Just like the Guanningjin line of defense and the huge Liaozhen frontier army do not exist, Dai Shan led the main army of Houjin, through Dalinghe Fort, through Jinzhou, through Songshan, Xingshan, Daxing Fort, Like a divine soldier descending from the sky, it directly surrounded Tashan in groups.

This kind of operation can really disgust Yan Shun. If he is in Shanhaiguan, will the army of Houjin simply pass through the entire Guanningjin line of defense and descend directly to Shanhaiguan?

The changes in the war are so unpredictable. Yan Shun, who was supposed to be a deterrent to supervise the war, has now become the main force in the war with Houjin, and Liaozhen, which should have been the main force, at this moment...

Uh... in "Desperate to the Rescue!"

Since Tashan was surrounded by Daishan, Yuan Chonghuan dispatched troops, from Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and two directions, with the strategy of "double-sided attack", to counter the encirclement of Houjin's main force.

However, Houjin's generals were very sharp, and the support army was "deadly" blocked by Houjin, and he could not advance even an inch.

After several days of hard fighting, lost soldiers and generals, military newspapers asking for help were also sent to the capital one after another, causing a commotion all over the city!

As for North Korea and Dongjiang Town, within the range of Liao Town's garrison, they can't play any role...
