On the land of Liaodong, several Qing army scouts looked at the Wei army camp stationed in the field, and were shocked when they saw the Wei army densely shuttling in the camp.

The two scouts, dressed as hunters, glanced at each other with fear in their eyes.

It was only a preliminary investigation, and they found that the Wei army assembled in Liaodong had exceeded 100,000 people, and there was a steady stream of Wei troops arriving.

This made the Qing army's heart collapse, one North Korea is just that, it is enough to send 30,000 or 40,000 troops, and it is not enough to send more than 100,000 troops!

After Gao Yihuan rejected Haoge's request to be a vassal and a vassal minister, the Qing army knew that the Wei army would inevitably attack Korea and tried their best to prepare.

However, North Korea is very poor after all, and the level of the North Korean army has always been very stable and has always remained vulnerable.

From the battle of Wanli to aid Korea, to the battle of Sarhu, and then to Huang Taiji's attack on Korea, the Korean army has a beginning and an end, and it is not easy to collapse at the first touch.

After analyzing the Qing army, they felt that North Korea could block the attack of 30,000 to 40,000 Wei troops at most, and now the Wei army has more than 100,000 troops, which is immediately overwhelming.

The two scouts were silent for a moment, silently glancing at the endless Wei army camp in the distance, and then quietly burrowed into the woods and returned to Korea along the path.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty only nominally controlled Liaodong, and the real actual control of Liaodong began with the Ming Dynasty.

Because during the Ming Dynasty, there were only millions of Han people in Liaodong, and this is the result of the Ming Dynasty's nearly two hundred years of colonization to the northeast.

It's just a pity that Nurhachi's rebellion destroyed this achievement, otherwise the continuous growth of the Han population in this area will inevitably make the northeast region develop one or two hundred years earlier, and it will not be so easy to be occupied.

Now in the eastern Liaodong region, although the Great Wei re-immigrated, but the immigrants are only distributed in the western Liaoning corridor and the Liaohe Plain, and the number is sparse, and the entire eastern Liaodong region can be said to be uninhabited for thousands of miles.

Because there were no people to live in, it was easy for Qing scouts to cross the border and go to Liaodong to spy and return to Korea.

North Korea's Pyongyang city, Hauge's temporary line.

The Qing army retreated to Korea, Hauge failed to sue for peace, Zilharang became depressed and became ill, and after dying violently, Hauge broke the jar and fell, ascended the throne to inherit the throne, and became the emperor of the Qing State.

Because of the tense situation, the scouts spied on the news that the Wei army was about to attack Korea, and Hauge came to Pyongyang from Seoul to prepare for the battle.

At the time of the third watch, the city of Pyongyang was pitch black, and there was silence, and only a few barking dogs were heard occasionally.

In the city, the Qing army patrolled back and forth, the defense was tight, and the atmosphere was depressing.

This is also no way, the North Koreans can't fight, but they are very good at conspiracy and assassination, since Hauge was defeated in North Korea, the North Koreans have not stopped, and they have assassinated many Manchus, as well as traitorous ministers.

Haoge was in the city of Pyongyang, and the Qing army naturally had to be more careful, and a large number of soldiers patrolled day and night.

At this time, at the head of the city, the Qing army with torches inspected the city wall, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves came in the distance, and several cavalrymen each rode two war horses and galloped wildly, and rushed to the north of the city for a while, and the cavalry led shouted in Manchu: "Open the city gate quickly, there is an urgent military report!" ”

The defenders of the city saw that there were only two cavalry below, but they still did not dare to open the city, but fell from the basket and pulled up the leader of the man.

At this time, Haoge had already fallen asleep in the palace, and the concubine he had just chosen was lying beside him, and when the two were sleeping soundly, a sudden urgent shout came from outside, "Your Majesty!" Emperor! ”

Under normal circumstances, no one dared to disturb Hauge's sleep, because his temper became quite irritable, and if he was slightly unhappy, he would kill someone, and no one dared to joke with his life.

But tonight, Hauge was awakened, and he sat up suddenly, and asked, "Who?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave has an urgent military intelligence report." Sony's voice rang out.

Hearing that it was an emergency military situation, Haoge was heartbroken, and while getting out of bed, he hurriedly asked, "Did the Wei thieves attack?" ”

Sonny replied, "No, it's the scouts back!" ”

The Korean concubine hurriedly got up and put on Hauge's clothes, Hauge walked out of the dormitory, saw Sonny kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Sonny had a calm face, his face was full of melancholy, "Your Majesty, scouts are probeing, the Wei thieves have gathered more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong!" ”

"What? More than 100,000! Hauge thundered like five thunders, his skull was buzzing, his eyes were dark, and he was shaking, Sony hurriedly got up and helped Hauge.

Hearing the news, Sonny was also frightened, so he understood Hauge's inner shock, "Your Majesty, hold steady!" ”

Hao Ge came back to his senses for a while, his expression suddenly became hideous, and he gritted his teeth, "Gao Yihuan, this is not to give me a chance, not to leave me a way to live!" ”

In Hauge's view, the Wei army would probably send forty or fifty thousand troops to attack Korea, rather than having no chance at all.

Now that the Wei army has sent more than 100,000 troops, it is to kill chickens with a knife, and he is basically dead.

This made Hauge feel hopeless, and his somewhat puffy face was full of pain.

Seeing this, Sonny could only persuade: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you can't lose confidence!" ”

Hauge shook his head bitterly, "More than 100,000 Wei troops poured into Korea, what else can I do?" ”

Sony was silent for a while, trying to comfort him, "Your Majesty, there are many Wei soldiers, but it may not be a good thing!" ”

Hauge seemed to grasp a straw and hurriedly grabbed Sony, "What do you say?" ”

So far, Sonny can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he muttered: "Liaodong is short of food, and the more Wei troops there are, the more difficult it is to supply food." The minions thought that we could resist step by step, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, lure the Wei thieves deep into Korea, and lengthen the grain route of the Wei army. Your Majesty can hold on to Seoul, as long as it holds out for a few months, and the Wei army is not well supplied, we will still have a chance. ”

Hauge frowned, but there was no other way in front of him.

More than 100,000 Wei troops will definitely not be able to stop it, and they will not be able to win the battle, so there is only one way left - dragging.

Haoge's heart was in a mess, and after walking a few steps in the hall, he suddenly stopped, "Immediately gather the generals and come to discuss!" ”

On the fourth watch, the lights in the main hall of the palace were bright, and more than a dozen generals of the Eight Banners hurried to the main hall.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. At this time, everyone already knew the news that the Wei army had gathered more than 100,000 troops and was about to attack Korea, and the generals of the Manchu and Han Korean ethnic groups were divided into several groups and whispered in the palace.

Several North Korean generals, their eyes flickering, exchanged in a low voice, and their eyes glanced at the Manchu and Han generals next to them from time to time.

At this time, one of the guards shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Hauge walked out with a gloomy face, followed by Sony,

The generals of the Eight Banners knelt down sparsely, "The servants meet the emperor." ”

Hauge waved his hand and said with a gloomy face, "Get up." I have something to command. ”
