Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 768 The Battle of Liaozuo (4)

"Marshal, you have to think twice. The defense lines along the Puhe River and the Fushun area can't just be abandoned like this." Yang Fangxing looked worried, looked at the resolute Li Zicheng, and persuaded him.

"These places are all painstakingly managed by our army, and they are the outer barriers to defend Shenyang. If they are abandoned like this, then Shenyang will have no danger to defend.

Yes, Chongzhen wants to conquer personally.

However, in the current situation in Liaozuo, the main force of the Ming army has not been mobilized too frequently. No one knows when they will rush to the front line of Liaozuo..."

"Enough, there is no need to talk about this matter."

Li Zicheng interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Jianlu gathered more than [-] troops, or even more, at Yilusuo, Sanchaerbao, Fushun Pass and other places.

But so far, no offensive has been launched, which is abnormal in itself.

This guy Huang Taiji must not hold back any good farts. If he wants to plot against Ben Shuai, he simply won't play with Jianlu. Ben Shuai is going to die.

Rather than dispersing our troops everywhere, falling into the trap of Jianlu, and simply withdrawing to the front line of Shenyang in batches, fortunately, the main force of our army has built a solid line of defense.

Even if Jianlu really wanted to launch a fierce attack and seize Shenyang City guarded by our army, it would have to see if they had a good mouth. As for when Chongzhen would come and when the Ming army would arrive, it would be up to the Ming court. "

Some civil and military people standing in the hall showed different expressions after hearing what their marshal said, you look at me, I look at you.

The situation on the Liaozuo front line has become more and more confusing, which makes it impossible for many people to see how the situation will evolve in the future.

After knowing that Emperor Chongzhen was going to march in person, the civil and military rebel army headed by Yang Fangxing found out surprisingly that hundreds of thousands of troops from all sides would gather around the area around the Liaozuo line as the frontline battle situation evolved.

This has never been done before.

Even in the late Wanli Dynasty, the Ming court gathered elite troops under its command to suppress the rampant Jianlu, and the size of the troops participated by both sides was only hovering around 20, or even less.

But now it has completely changed.

After this battle, no matter who wins the final victory, their Liaodong Rebel Army will withdraw from the only land in Liaozuo.

This makes some people's thoughts very active all the time.

Li Zicheng's resolute attitude made the people who came to persuade them unable to change anything, so they withdrew from the hall.

"Marshal, this is what Yang Xiang and the others did in secret." Pei Xionghu took out a secret letter with a serious expression, and handed it to Li Zicheng.

"Man, it's always like this."

Li Zicheng received the secret letter with a feeling of emotion, "No matter how good I am to them, I can't warm their hearts. I feel that the rebel army has no way out in Liao, so I start to do other things.

This commander can still understand that he has contact with the Ming army.

But I can't understand the contact with Jianlu.

Among these people identified, how many have secretly contacted Jianlu?Did Yang Fangxing have any contact with Jianlu? "

"Yang Xiang didn't contact Jianlu, but he kept in touch with the Ming army."

Pei Xionghu frowned and said: "Some important deployments of our army were passed on to the Ming army one by one by Prime Minister Yang, and many of them secretly contacted Jianlu.

Among them, among the main force of our army, there are some such scumbags, and now..."

"do not talk!"

Li Zicheng flashed coldly, tightly clutching the secret letter in his hand, "You are responsible for dealing with these scumbags in the army, remember to get rid of them without anyone noticing.

For those positions that are vacant, the commander-in-chief will simply pick up a group of generals.

Eating the food and taking the money given by me, now the rebel army is in crisis, and they all want to smash the pot, then they will die! "

"Here."

Pei Xionghu responded immediately.

As far as Li Zicheng was concerned, he had never really thought about forming a spy organization under his command, but under the intervention of Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng had this idea.

Li Zicheng wanted to leave Liaozuo with all his heart. In a sense, he wanted to get rid of the remote control of Emperor Chongzhen. He was an ambitious person.

He didn't want to be at the mercy of others for the rest of his life.

The territory that was hard-earned and the wealth accumulated were ruthlessly raided by Emperor Chongzhen time and time again. Although the size of the army condensed under his command continued to increase, no one could accept this feeling of lack of autonomy.

"Chongzhen, Chongzhen, you have always given presents to me before, and this time, I will also give you a big gift."

Li Zicheng's expression was cold and stern, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he muttered: "He, Huang Taiji, has assembled a large army, but he has not come to attack for a long time, it is obviously because he is afraid of you.

Since this is the case, then the commander-in-chief will lead the snake out of the hole to see whether Huang Taiji will take the bait or not.

If he, Huang Taiji, doesn't come to attack, then I will wait for your assembled army to jointly launch a counterattack against Jianlu. This battle should end with Jianlu. "

The Ming Army, the Jianlu Eight Banners, and the Liaodong Rebel Army gathered together on the left front of the Liao Dynasty. It must be that all three parties have calculations and want to make the battle situation most beneficial to their own troops.

From the perspective of Chongzhen, he will use this battle to recover the remaining Liao land, re-establish the Eight Banners, and drive the Liaodong rebels westward.

From Li Zicheng's point of view, he wants to use this battle to get rid of Chongzhen's remote control, re-establish the Eight Banners, and cause the Ming army to suffer losses, so that he can lead his troops into Monan.

From Huang Taiji's point of view, he wants to use this battle to severely damage the main force of the Ming army, kill the Liaodong rebels, and capture the entire Liaozuo in one fell swoop, so as to prepare for the future strategic counterattack of the entire Liaodong.

Each side has its own plans, and it is doomed that the battle on the Liaozuo front will not start easily, but once it does, it will be a battle to determine the outcome!

Such is the complexity of war.

Such is the diversity of warfare.

In the era of cold weapons, the gap between the transition to the era of hot weapons, often the victory or defeat of a battle can determine the trend of a battle.

Li Zicheng ordered the evacuation of the frontline troops, which had a considerable impact on the changes in the Liaozuo battlefield. At least for Huang Taiji's side, many of the previous plans fell through.

The timing of Li Zicheng's order to evacuate is really wonderful. If it takes a few days at night, then Huang Taiji's carefully planned deployment can start.

But under the current situation, all the generals and schools under Huang Taiji's command are full of fighting spirit, and they want to lead the various ministries under his command to march into Shenyang City.

As long as they can take Shenyang City, they will have the initiative in Liaozuo, and even if they run into the army led by Emperor Chongzhen, they will still have the advantage on the battlefield.

Even in the hearts of some Jianlu generals, they began to fantasize about the dream of capturing Emperor Chongzhen. As long as Chongzhen can be captured, the entire Liaodong will become their territory!
