Ming Ting

Chapter 728: The Northern Expedition began

Views:

Chen Hualong, Jierhalang, and Daishan listened to Xiaozhuang's words, and Qi Qi raised his hands and said'Zhuzhi', and retired.

The three of them left the palace and quickly began to arrange.

Many people were deported. Although the martial law in Shenyang City was not lifted, it was greatly relaxed. The looting everywhere was also called to a halt, and people began to move around in Shenyang.

Meng Hezhou and others took the opportunity to collect news, rebuilt the network, and sent news to Liaodong.

Daming Anhe three years, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen in history, May 21.

The Ming army in Linghe, big and small, was behind the orderly side, but Lu Xiangsheng suddenly and silently appeared in Zhenbei City.

In front of Lu Xiangsheng, stood Lu Xiangguan, Ma Xianglin, Man Gui, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao, Huang Long, He Kegang, Li Dingguo and others.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at everyone with a solemn expression, and said: "The strategy of Ding Guo Gong has worked. The establishment of the army has been wasted for two months, and now the army is weakened. It is a great time for me to wait for the Northern Expedition and achieve the great cause!"

A bunch of people stood straight and looked dignified.

Maybe they didn't know that this was Zhou Zheng's strategic flicker before, but now they understand.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't talk nonsense. Looking at Man Gui, Cao Bianjiao said, "Where are your cavalry?"

Man Gui said solemnly: "Master Hui. Twenty thousand cavalry soldiers, who are out at night and day, are hidden away twenty miles outside Zhenbei City."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, turned to Cao Wenzhao, and said, "How about Dalinghe?"

Cao Wenzhao said, "My lord. The illusion of evacuation has been done. Another 20,000 infantrymen have crossed the river last night and are in Zhongwei, Guangning. In addition, the 10,000 soldiers of General Ma will land near the Liaohe River. ."

Ma Xianglin raised his hand and said: "Yes, I have already boarded the navy ship. There are 5,000 marines in the navy marines, a total of 15,000, and they will be able to land in three days."

Turning to Huanglong one after another, He Kegang and others said, "How is Dongjiang Town's preparations?"

Huang Long stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Master Hui, the 20,000 people pretending to be 50,000 have now been withdrawn, and the other three are hiding fifty miles outside of Phoenix, and they can go north at any time."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, his gaze swept across the crowd again, and said: "This Northern Expedition is related to the great cause of the community, and I don't need to say more about the importance. The defeat of Liaodong will never be allowed to happen again. No matter whether it caused a defeat or not, the Nine Clan will be punishable in wars, and you will not be merciful!"

Everyone's expressions shrank, and their breathing stopped.

Since the Wanli period and even Jiajing period, Liaodong has been fighting continuously. It can be said that a considerable part of Liaodong’s defeat was caused by the internal fighting of the generals in Liaodong.

After Lu Xiangsheng said this sentence, he said: "Three days later, Cao became Jiao, and Mangui cavalry was the forward, rushing towards Shenyang at full speed. If you can fight, you can fight, and if you can’t fight, you will surround Shenyang! Cao Wenzhao and Huanglong will start immediately. , Coming out at night, and quickly advancing towards Shenyang, if you encounter it, fight to death! No, surround Shenyang City!"

"The final commander!"

A group of people raised their hands together and replied in a deep voice. They were so excited that they could not speak.

For many years, they have been looking forward to it day and night, and this day has finally arrived!

Lu Xiangsheng took the tokens separately, handed them to everyone, and asked them one by one to send them out of the room.

The last one, Li Dingguo.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said, "How is your three thousand cavalry?"

Li Dingguo had no expression on his face, but his eyes were burning, and said, "My lord, I will call it elite in the end."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him, nodded slightly, and said, "How many years have you been with me?"

Li Dingguo was startled and said, "It's been three years."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said: "In the beginning, Dingguo gave you to me, and I want to cultivate you well. In recent years, you have performed well, which makes me admire. I don’t worry about entrusting it to others. But can you guarantee completion?"

Li Dingguo looked solemn, and knelt on one knee fiercely, saying: "Although the final general is a bandit, he also knows that the mind of the non-my race must be different. Even if the adult orders, the final general will use his life to guarantee!"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes burned and said, "Okay! I'll give you five thousand cavalry soldiers from Dongjiang Town to attract the attention of Jianmen. You must use all means to attract them, so as to delay us and get as close as possible. Shenyang, understand?"

Li Dingguo immediately understood Lu Xiangsheng's strategic intentions, and knew that there might be no return in doing so. He still stood firmly, and said solemnly, "The last general will take the command!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him, nodded in satisfaction, and handed him a ling arrow, saying: "Do it cheaply. You are a lone army, complete the task as much as possible, and save your life as much as possible."

Li Dingguo solemnly took it and said, "Yes!"

Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, but stopped talking.

Li Dingguo Road: "Do you have any other orders?"

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhou Deshou is in your army. You know his identity. If possible, I hope you can bring him back safely."

Zhou Dezhen is the nephew of Dingguo Zhou Zhengyun, the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Zhou family for three generations.

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "Then I will find a reason to kick him out."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "This is not Dingguo’s greeting, it is my attitude. Dingguo has a great favor to the Lu family, and it is also to you. Moreover, Dingguo is very important in the court, if his nephew died in battle. , Even if Ding Guo is magnanimous and does not speak, can you and I be at ease?"

Li Dingguo still didn't understand, and said, "Then, what's wrong with kicking him out at the end?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Zhou Deshou is not so good at kicking. If he gets into trouble at this time, it will affect morale and ruin the big plan, you and I can't afford it. In addition, Dingguo Duke put Zhou Deshou in Liaodong, just to train him, no Let him come to enjoy the blessing. Your trip is threatening, isn't it a feat?"

Li Dingguo understood, and said solemnly, "My lord, don't worry, even if I die, Zhou Deshang will be sent back."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, then said: "Do what you can."

Li Dingguo complied.

On that day, the Ming army's various fake actions were bright and dark, but the elite troops in the dark did not move, and even moved forward quietly.

Three days later, Li Dingguo's five thousand cavalrymen suddenly appeared in Phoenix and rushed towards Shenyang at a very fast speed.

Zhou Dexiao rode a horse, followed Li Dingguo, and exclaimed in excitement: "General Li Shen, are we attacking Shenyang?"

Li Dingguo glanced at him and said, "Execute the order!"

Zhou Deshou did not speak immediately and concentrated on hitting the horse.

The five thousand cavalry was extremely fast, and went straight to Shenyang without any cover. They were aggressive and murderous.

Such a move shocked Shenyang, which had subsided a little bit, and Jianlu was astonished and all looked east.

Xiaozhuang even called Chen Hualong, Jierhalang, and Daishan to the front, and asked the three of them nervously.

"Doesn't it mean that the DPRK is withdrawing troops? Why are they still fighting?" Xiaozhuang asked without the calmness of the past.

Chen Hualong was also terrified, unable to guess, but pretending to be profound, he didn't say anything.

Jierhalang and Daishan were also silent, thinking that the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army had broken their merits, but who knew that they had actually fought over!

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Xiaozhuang looked at Chen Hualong and said, "Chen Aiqing, what do you think?"

Chen Hualong held up his hand without changing his expression, and said, "Manny, in terms of military affairs, Prince Zheng understands better than me."

Xiaozhuang frowned slightly and looked at Ji'erhalang. (End of this chapter)
