Liaoyang City no longer has troops coming in and out as before. On the top of the city, there are not many changes compared to before. It seems that there are still so many people, and the flags are just those flags.

But if you stand on the top of the city and look into the city, you can see soldiers everywhere. There is no room for them in the house, and there are many on the streets. Originally, there were piles of grain piled high in the square in front of the government office. The amount was so large that it could be described as a mountain of grain.

Jianlu on the top of the city turned his head to look at the grain piles from time to time, feeling envious in his heart. The suffering of food shortage in the past two years has become unnecessary. If possible, they really wish they could carry a few bags of this food home and hide it.

But now the official office is already occupied by Huang Taiji as the location of his Liaoyang camp. At this time, he was in high spirits, or in other words, high-spirited. Not long after he arrived, he immediately held an imperial meeting.

"Your Majesty, there have been several battles in Anshan Posthouse. The Ming army wanted to open up the open space in front of the city to facilitate the gathering of troops, but they were repelled by our army and retreated back to the city!" A general was reporting.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he immediately asked: "What is the specific situation of the battle?"

"Cao Wenzhao's men left the city with about two thousand cavalry. Before half of them, our army sent cavalry to attack. There were casualties, but none serious. The Ming army retreated to the city. This battle happened yesterday afternoon."

Fan Wencheng on the side heard this and saw that Huang Taiji had no intention of speaking, so he interrupted and asked: "Where is the new army of the Ming Dynasty?"

The general glanced at him. He didn't want to pay attention to the dog, but when he saw Huang Taiji showing concern, he directly faced Huang Taiji and reported again: "In the first war, only Guan Ning's army fought. Among them, Cao Wenzhao Command from the top of the city."

This was regarded as an answer to Fan Wencheng's question, and then he immediately continued: "There was another incident this morning. It was Cao Bianjiao, the new military advisor of the Ming Dynasty, who was commanding at the top of the city. The troops leaving the city were more powerful than Guan Ning's army, and the archers caused Our army suffered a lot of casualties. The new type of muskets also appeared, which indeed did not require a match to ignite fire, and the firearms were more sophisticated. Our army sent three times the force to push this new army back to the city."

Huang Taiji frowned when he heard this, and thought to himself, no wonder the Ming army dared to invade in a large scale, it turned out that they had new sources of support.

Thinking this, he immediately asked: "How powerful is that new firearm?"

Everyone was very concerned about this issue and listened attentively.

"Your Majesty, it is almost the same as a fine matchlock gun!"

After saying this, I could clearly hear the sound of relief in the lobby.

At this time, the disgusting Han dog voice sounded again in the lobby: "Where is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai?"

The general who reported the report was under Azige, and he hated Fan Wencheng just like his master. After hearing this, he glanced at Huang Taiji and mocked Fan Wencheng: "With the Dongjiang Army's sneaky ability, Can I take my turn to fight against the Qing Dynasty?"

Huang Taiji felt the discrimination in his words, so he glanced at Fan Wencheng, but saw that his face was normal, as if he was not shocked by honor or disgrace, or was he accustomed to it?

This good dog couldn't let him feel cold. However, I couldn't reprimand the tribesmen because of a Han at the moment, so I asked myself: "What are Lu Xiangsheng's movements?"

To be honest, although the strength of the Dongjiang Army is not very good, Lu Xiangsheng is indeed a capable man. He only relied on a weak brigade, but he repeatedly caused great losses to the Qing Dynasty by sneaking around. Therefore, the combat power of the Dongjiang Army can be despised, but it cannot be ignored against Lu Xiangsheng.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, seems to be the commander-in-chief of the Ming army this time. He has been supervising the battle on the north gate archery tower. Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and others, if they are not commanding their men to leave the city, they are also accompanying Lu Xiangsheng."

In fact, to be precise, Jianlu saw someone in the arrow tower, but because the light was a bit dark compared to the outside and it was far away, it was naturally impossible to see clearly. They just saw Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao accompanying a tall man wearing a scarlet robe. Judging from their actions, they respected the tall man. Moreover, the Dongjiang Army did exist, and Mao Chengzuo had wandered around the city. Therefore, Jianlu subconsciously confirmed that Lu Xiangsheng was indeed there.

In the lobby, just as he was talking about this, there was movement outside. It was the envoy delivering the message to Horqin Grassland who had returned.

"Your Majesty, as soon as I announced the decree, Buhe immediately sent an order to assemble the troops. I think it will take less than a day to start."

When any army sets off, there are many things to prepare for. It is not just about copying someone and just leaving on horseback. It takes less than a day to set off, which is very fast for a tribe like this that is scattered around the grassland and grazing animals.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said with a smile: "You are indeed my father-in-law, very good, very good!"

After turning around and defeating the Ming army, a large number of cavalry were needed to attack quickly and catch the Ming army off guard. Therefore, it is necessary that the Horqin tribe's troops are all cavalry.

Everyone was carrying the sedan chair, and there were two concubines present. Naturally, many people would save their saliva and praise such a good thing.

"Look at the tribes on the grassland. In the end, only the Horqin tribe is reliable!"

"Who says otherwise! After all, Your Majesty has the discernment to choose the one who is most loyal to our Qing Dynasty!"

"I think back then, when I saw Bu He's face, I knew he was a real person!"

"..."

The serious atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became relaxed. However, Huang Taiji was under a lot of pressure. After all, this battle was a battle that overturned the country. Therefore, after taking a breath, he immediately became serious, coughed, and silenced the lobby.

Then, he began to give orders: "Where is Jilharang?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Jierhalang immediately came out and kneeled down, listening to the sacred message.

Huang Taiji stared at him and ordered sternly: "Take your own troops and ambush in the west of Liaoyang, use the smoke of Liaoyang as a signal to attack the left wing of the Ming army!"

"I accept the decree!" Jierhalang responded equally seriously.

Afterwards, Huang Taiji ordered Daishan, Azige, and even Hauge to ambush respectively, also using the name Liaoyang Langyan.

"The rest of the troops are hiding in the city, waiting for the Ming army to come to attack the city, and then attack from both inside and outside to annihilate the invading Ming army in one fell swoop!"

As soon as Huang Taiji's voice fell, an excited "chatter" sounded in the lobby.

As soon as the imperial meeting ended, Liaoyang suddenly became lively again. Of course, Yue Tuo, the leader of the front line, pretended to be defeated, and the messenger who returned to Liaoyang also galloped away.
