Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Lu Mou said that there was something wrong again in Shanhaiguan. It was Zhao Youhu and He Wenzhao, the chief military officers of Shanhaiguan, who sent the eight hundred miles urgent call. Like Yu Minzhong, they also changed the combat mission given to them without authorization.

Zhao Youhu did not follow the requirements and directly crossed the Liao River to harass and threaten Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty and mobilize Dorgon to draw troops from the front of the Great Wall. Instead, he made his own decision. According to the report he and He Wenzhao said, he was just fine-tuning the strategy. Collect Jinzhou and attack Beining. Completely changed the strategic pattern of Ming and Qing Dynasties in western Liaoning.

According to the two people, you want us to watch the gate anyway. If the gate of Shanhaiguan is not missing, the work will be completed if the gate is not missing. Then I go far away and take down the real gate in Beining. Wouldn't Shanhaiguan be safer?
After capturing the real gate in Beining, Zhao Youhu was safer and more confident in attacking Liaodong to harass and mobilize the enemy. It's just that it's just a little bit later in terms of time.

When Lu Mou received the battle report, he was really angry.

Yu Minzhong changed the strategic goal arbitrarily, not to destroy the Korean state but only to plunder it, so he failed to put pressure on the Korean king. Now the Korean king is lying down, and he has spread his legs and takes out a pair of clothes for you to rob and ravage. , I just ignore it. As long as I succeed in extinguishing the light, I will get back everything twice as much. I have the mentality that a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

Dorgon also believed that as long as the Ming Dynasty did not occupy North Korea, it would be indifferent to Yu Minzhong's robbery of North Korea due to strategic considerations that it could not pose a threat to its rear.

As a result, the 200,000 Korean soldiers on the front line of the Great Wall were not transferred back and remained the main force in the attack.

And Zhao Youhu changed his strategic goal. If he captured Jinzhou and Beining, Dorgon could not feel threatened, and he could not mobilize frontline enemies to return reinforcements, which would ruin the overall situation.

Now the Great Wall defense line is filled with loud killings every day. Soldiers from both sides are constantly filling the flesh and blood mill with countless lives. Now, all the 50,000 Southern troops have been killed. Although Li Yan, who was supervising the front line, did not complain, from the battle reports sent to the Ministry of War and the General Staff every day, you can still feel that the Great Wall, the backbone of the Chinese nation, is creaking, if it were not supported by countless Chinese men with their flesh and blood. , poured every day, there is a risk of collapse and fracture at any time.

I am not opposed to taking advantage of the situation to regain Beining, Jinzhou, but you, Zhao Youhu, must send troops to Liaodong to create pressure on Dorgon, call back a group of frontline enemies, and relieve the pressure on the Great Wall.

Furthermore, frontline generals always change strategic plans without authorization, only focusing on small immediate profits and ignoring the overall strategic situation. How can this happen? This trend cannot rise. You must see it yourself and supervise the battle yourself.

For this reason, he could only let go of many things in the capital, and let his brother, who was already ill and overwhelmed, continue to stand up for himself. He rushed to the front line of Shanhaiguan urgently. Look what those two bastards were thinking, how dare they ruin my life.

In western Liaoning, the one on the front line was Zu Dalue of the Qing Dynasty with a white flag.

Since Zu Dashou rebelled against the Manchus last time, although Dorgon did not punish the loyal Zu Dale, he lowered his noble yellow flag to a white flag, allowing him to still guard Liaoxi.

Not only did Zu Dale not complain about such treatment, but he burst into tears of gratitude and worked even harder for the Manchus.

He managed Jinzhou and Beining conscientiously, and after the outbreak of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's war to destroy the Ming Dynasty, he guarded the gateway to western Liaoning for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, this time the Qing Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty, plundered all available troops, and prepared to fight to determine the outcome.

Therefore, Zu Dalue’s white flag is also being drawn.

However, Dorgon also knew the importance of Jinzhou and Guangning to his Qing Dynasty. So only half of his troops were transferred, leaving him half, 10,000 people.

In the eyes of Dorgon and Zu Dale, Guan Ning has been accustomed to sitting back and defending for so many years without any intention of taking the initiative. With this small number of troops, there is absolutely no problem in suppressing Guan Ning in Shanhaiguan. This will be an easy task. As long as Jinzhou and Beining are defended, the entire Qing Dynasty will be safe.

Further west from Jinzhou, on the other side of the Xiaoling River, is the ancient swamp, the endless reed swamp, which has become a natural moat that shields the western part of the Qing Dynasty.

As for Beining City, to the west is the natural barrier of Yiwulu Mountain, and to the east is the endless Liaoxi Great Plain. From here to Shengjing, there are no natural barriers to defend.

Recalling the fall of Beining, the King of Liaodong Economic Strategies was in Jin at that time. He was devastated by the fall of Beining. He commented: "The first bad thing happened to Qingfu, the second bad thing happened to Kaitie, the third bad thing happened to Liaoshen, and the fourth bad thing happened to Beining. The first bad thing was a crisis. If the situation is worse, it will be a defeat, and if it is worse than three, it will be a failure, but there is still hope of salvation. As for the fourth, it will be impossible to retreat to the mountains and seas."

When facing this decisive battle, Zhao Youhu was assigned by Lu Mou. He dispatched the 2 Guan Ning cavalry in his hand, and fought across the Liaohe River at all costs, into the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and turned the Manchu Qing Dynasty upside down. It would be best to force Shengjing into a corner, so that Dorgon would have to be on the front line and withdraw his troops to save him.

But the current general environment is that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have always been controlled by the military commanders who are submissive and dare not make independent decisions. Lu Mou began to reuse military commanders. He forgave the disobedient and disrespectful military commanders several times, and also praised them. After their subjective initiative, the generals got used to the problem, that is, they can rely on their own judgment and senses to dare to disobey orders.

Among them is Zhao Youhu.

Zhao Youhu now controls 20,000 Guanning cavalry, as well as 30,000 soldiers of the Third Army who are resting here.

Zhao Youhu is warlike, and He Wenzhao, commander of the Third Army, has repeatedly made military exploits under Lu Mou. He knows his prince best and boldly delegates power to his generals. So you are really confident about disobeying orders from your superiors.

The Manchus swore an oath to fight on the third day of March, and arrived at the Great Wall to start the war in early April. According to regulations, Zhao Youhu should go out behind enemy lines in mid-April.

Zhao Youhu immediately called his deputy and temporarily assigned him He Wenzhao, commander of the Third Army.

"General He, according to the regent's plan, I, the general, will lead 20,000 Guanning cavalry to send troops behind enemy lines to disrupt Liaodong. And you continue to defend Shanhaiguan and must not lose Shanhaiguan. For this reason, what do you think?"

After Lu Mou reorganized his army, Shanhaiguan has become a resting place for other battlefields and troops that suffered heavy losses. In the minds of Lu Mou and Li Yan, there was no war at Shanhaiguan, and they just had to stick to this point.

However, with Lu Mou's army, he took the initiative to attack in every battle, which frustrated the generals who had retreated to Shanhaiguan to rest. Sticking to one place always makes them feel useless.

At this time, Zhao Youhu, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, asked He Wenzhao this way. To outsiders, he was a little guilty and short of breath, as if he was afraid that he would make a mistake by leaving Shanhaiguan.

It seems that as long as He Wenzhao says something discouraging, then according to the original rules of the Ming army, he will ignore the mission. I personally ensure that the gate of Shanhaiguan is not lost.

Now, just wait for He Wenzhao's answer. (End of chapter)
