Chapter 703 Game of Chess

Yue Tuo's headquarters actually only has about a thousand men. Logically speaking, the number of troops is a bit small. After all, the Dongjiang Army is no longer the Dongjiang Army of the past, and Governor Denglai's fighting ability is not weak. However, there are still many local troops in Xiaoheishan. Huang Taiji has measured that it is no problem to defeat the Dongjiang Army.

Just as he finished his instructions, Hauge suddenly came out and said: "Emperor Ama, I have something to report!"

When Huang Taiji heard this, he couldn't help but frown, but he wasn't angry at all. He just asked calmly: "Speak!"

Hauge glanced at Yue Tuo for a moment, and then said loudly: "Huang Ama, I am the prince of the Qing Dynasty, but I have never made any achievements. I am willing to share the worries of Huang Ama, dare to issue military orders, and only lead my own troops. , I will bring Lu Xiangsheng’s head back for Emperor Amma!”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he didn't know what his son was thinking! He couldn't help but feel a little angry. In his opinion, Hauge thought that the Golden State battle was a sure win and a good opportunity to make contributions, so he wanted to take the credit!

This unsatisfactory son will only cause trouble for himself. Doesn't he know how to use his brain to think about it? I just killed a group of people and established my authority, now it's time for Tianzao to eat! Yue Tuo has always been the most loyal young man and Daishan's son. Giving him this credit will help stabilize the domestic situation in the Qing Dynasty and help him firmly control the imperial power. Since you are already the prince, why should you argue with others? Why don't you just stay in the prince's position peacefully?

With this thought in mind, he reprimanded Hauge and then ordered to withdraw from the court!

Due to lack of food, Huang Taiji banned all banquets, and the city of Shenyang seemed deserted in winter. But soon, the sound of horse hooves and the constant noise made Qian Fugui, who was in the house holding his wife to keep warm during the winter, a little surprised. Knowing that something had happened, he had to brave the cold and go out of the house to find out the news.

Unexpectedly, before he left the house, he saw Hauge returning home angrily. As soon as he inquired about it, Hauge cursed Yue Tuo and complained about his emperor for a while, and the news was revealed.

When Qian Fugui heard this, he was immediately shocked. From what Hauge said, it seemed that the Dongjiang Army was definitely going to be destroyed by the Jianlu. After he found the opportunity to return to his room, he immediately entered the chat group, chatted privately with Emperor Chongzhen, and hurriedly reported the news.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he finally realized that this was the original intention of Jianlu to retreat without a fight and give up Jinzhou City. But it's okay. The strategy I had set before had already taken into account the possibility of Jianlu coming to attack in the winter.

But despite this, he was still a little worried, so he chatted privately with Qian Fugui and confirmed, "How is Jianlu's food situation?"

After hearing this, Qian Fugui immediately replied: "It's very bad. This winter, all the Jianlu were hiding at home and did not go out, and they did not drink and have fun as usual. In Hauge's Prince's Mansion, many servants There’s only one meal a day.”

At this point, he hesitated for a while, and then continued to add: "There are many people who freeze to death and starve to death every day in the city, but they are all Han slaves with the lowest status. Also, I heard someone saying He said that there are already many places outside the city where people are eating people."

"Oh, by the way, this time Yue Tuo led his troops to the expedition. It was because of limited food, so he only sent so many! But from what Hauge said, it seems that this battle is a sure win. He said that he had withdrawn from Jinzhou before When I left, I moved all the artillery and everything away. Now when I go back to attack Jinzhou, I have mobilized a lot of general cannons to prepare to blast away the city of Jinzhou!"

After listening to his words, Emperor Chongzhen basically knew the situation of Jianlu. When a large army goes on an expedition, it must be ensured that the army is well fed, otherwise no matter how good the military discipline was before, it will affect the combat effectiveness.

Just like the Ming Dynasty's original Tumu Fort Incident, they were all elites left over from the Chengzu period. Because they had no food and were hungry, they were defeated like a mountain. The hundreds of thousands of troops were completely annihilated without much resistance at all. Got it!

Now that Huang Taiji is so stretched, it's not a good idea. With the war in Gaizhou, Huang Taiji doesn't know what kind of headache he will have!

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen made the decision to let Jianlu consume more food. Therefore, he first informed Lu Xiangsheng through Li Deming about Yue Tuo's army's expedition, and specifically pointed out that Jianlu wanted to use the general's artillery to bombard Jinzhou's attack plan.

Haha, Jianlu thought that just because the Dongjiang Army didn’t have artillery, it didn’t mean that Jinzhou City didn’t have artillery! In this era, since we decided to defend the city for a whole winter, how could we not take artillery into consideration! Since he wants to engage in artillery fire, let's try it and see who can operate the artillery better!

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the news, he didn't have any worries. After all, this possibility had already been considered. Emperor Chongzhen had no objection to what Emperor Chongzhen said in the end, that he was going to let the Jianlu side take more action before letting the new army launch the Gaizhou Campaign.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking here, he immediately chatted with Gao Yingyuan privately and asked him to tell Cao Bianjiao that the Battle of Gaizhou was launched before the sea was frozen and ships could not sail. As for now, just rest for two more days.

At this point, the two sides of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Emperor Chongzhen and Huang Taiji, formally set up the chess game and began to play chess.

The land of Liaodong, which had been immersed in the harsh winter, began to hear the sound of horse hooves again. Yue Tuo may have been holding back his emotions, or he may have wanted to end the war as soon as possible and save more food. He moved very quickly and led the army to Xinjin City on the Xiaoheishan side earlier than expected.

Speaking of which, Xinjin actually didn't have much food, but it was the front line against the enemy, so the army only had one meal a day when they stayed in the city. At this time, when Yue Tuo arrived, the Jianlu army became excited. Going out to fight means having enough to eat!

Yue Tuo summoned the generals and told them: "The main force of the Dongjiang Army is stationed in Jinzhou and must have hoarded a lot of food. As long as we capture Jinzhou, we will be able to seize a large amount of food. By then, every soldier who goes out will be able to share it." Get food for the winter!”

As soon as the news spread, Jianlu's morale immediately rose. With the general shelling the city, the Dongjiang Army was no match for the Qing Dynasty in field battles. The food supply in Jinzhou City was almost guaranteed!

Seeing that morale was available, Yue Tuo immediately ordered preparations for the expedition. At the same time, a large number of scout horses were sent out, preparing to drive out and annihilate the Ming army.

However, for some unknown reason, the Ming army that was often seen did not retreat at night and seemed to have withdrawn. As a result, these scouting horses went all the way without hindrance, and Jianlu was seen again in the sharp corners of Liaodong.

Outside Jinzhou City, Jianlu's figure roared back and forth from time to time, showing off his power so arrogantly!
