After all, tens of thousands of troops set off from Haizhou and Yaozhou, arrived at Xipingbao and Guangning City by land, and crossed the Liao River during the period.

Just arrived in Jinzhou, and after getting off the ship, Su Tiancheng learned the information that Huang Taiji had strengthened the defense of Liaodong.

The atmosphere became a little tense, the adjustment of the focus of this attack belongs to the category of decryption, and it is impossible for the news to leak out, because Huang Taiji will suddenly mobilize a large army from the direction of Haizhou and strengthen the defense of Quang Ninh City and Xiping Fort, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the attack.

Entering Jinzhou City, Su Tiancheng's face was unusually grim.

A crucial discussion unfolded in Jinzhou City.

Participating in the discussion were Su Tiancheng, Lu Xiangsheng, Qu Qingze, Sun Chuanting, and others, and the focus of the discussion was on how to launch an offensive in Liaodong.

Su Tiancheng remembered a sentence, the scene at that time was very similar to now, it was also when the war was about to start, and it was also in Liaodong, and it was also the other party that increased the reinforcements of troops, this sentence is, the family is going to have guests, and a table of food has been prepared, but two tables of people have come, how to eat this meal.

I didn't expect to encounter such a problem.

The choice was simple, either continue to attack Quang Ninh City and Xiping Fort, or turn back and fight Yaozhou and Haizhou.

The first question to be discussed is whether or not intelligence is leaked, and if such a problem arises, it will be fatal. No one dares to take care, there will be no leakage of intelligence in the future, there must be signs of this, we must strictly investigate, we must rescue the traitors, otherwise there will be any future battles. will be in big trouble.

In fact, before Su Tiancheng arrived in Jinzhou, Lu Xiangsheng had already launched a large-scale investigation to see if the news had been leaked, but after two days of investigation, nothing was found.

Qu Qingze spoke first, starting from Dengzhou, Qu Qingze did not stop, rushed to Jinzhou as fast as possible, and Zhang Fengyi led the army. He had already withdrawn from Dengzhou and rushed to Xuanzhou by boat.

"Dashuai, my subordinates believe that there may be a problem of intelligence leakage, it is said that the Houjin Tartars have made a deployment, and they will not be easily adjusted, and the adjustment is very large, and Liaodong has increased more than 40,000 Houjin Tartars. This is a lot of force, and there is no intelligence to support it. Huang Taiji would not have made such a decision. ”

Qu Qingze is engaged in intelligence work, and after he opened his mouth, everyone basically recognized it.

Lu Xiangsheng then spoke.

"My subordinates have launched an investigation to see if the information was leaked from Liaodong, but after two days of investigation, no clues have been obtained. The subordinates also seriously pondered that the possibility of leaking the overall operational deployment is not very large, and so far, only the subordinates have really known the entire operational deployment. ”

Lu Xiangsheng just finished speaking. Qu Qingze spoke again.

"Lord Lu, Houjin Tartar doesn't need to know all the information of Lu Dao, as long as he knows the news of Liaodong's adjustment of troops, he can make a judgment."

Lu Xiangsheng lowered his head and stopped talking, Liaodong had a lesson and leaked intelligence, and this time it was uncertain.

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and spoke confidently.

"It is unlikely that the intelligence will be leaked, although I can't be completely sure that the previous intelligence of the Houjin Tartars was directly responsible for Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng is dead, Liaodong has carried out a large-scale cleanup, in such a short period of time, it is almost impossible for the Houjin Tartars to obtain such important information, and the intelligence network is not so simple to establish."

"My analysis, I'm afraid that Huang Taiji analyzed the situation in Liaodong and had a new understanding, or the people around Huang Taiji, someone reminded Liaodong of the matter, you don't forget, Huang Taiji is not an ordinary person, if we underestimate Huang Taiji, in the future battle, we will definitely suffer."

After Su Tiancheng said these words, Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, if there is a problem in Liaodong again, the intelligence is really leaked from here, and this responsibility is not easy to bear.

Su Tiancheng can't be completely sure whether there is a problem of intelligence leakage, but at this time, it is not the most important thing to investigate whether there is an intelligence leak, if it is not investigated, it will affect the morale of the military.

On the question of whether the intelligence was leaked, Su Tiancheng quickly made a decision, that is, he didn't think about this issue, the key was what to do next, whether to continue the offensive.

Lu Xiangsheng began to introduce the situation.

"Originally stationed in Guangning City, there are Jierharang's blue flag and Han Eight Banners inlaid with blue flags, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people, stationed in Xiping Fort, there are Han Eight Banners of the Yellow Flag and Yellow Flag, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people, Guangning City and Xiping Fort are not easy to attack, Guangning City needless to say, Xiping Fort used to be a military point, after the Jin Tatars occupied, a moderate expansion was carried out, the defensive formation is very solid, in addition, the Han Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty inlaid with the Yellow Flag Banner main Shi Tingzhu, Liaodong Han people, after the surrender of the Golden Tartars, is the Guangning garrison, Very familiar with the situation. ”

"The reinforcement of Liaodong is the red flag and the red flag in the eight banners of the Han Dynasty, and the total strength is more than 40,000 people, of which the red flag is stationed in Guangning, and the red flag is stationed in Xiping Fort."

"Several banner owners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, also introduced here, in addition to the aforementioned Huang Banner inlaid with the flag owner Shi Tingzhu, among which the Red Flag Banner Lord Ma Guangyuan, Shuntian Daxing people, the original Jianchang general, Chongzhen three years to take refuge in the Houjin Tartars, the terrain of Liaodong, is also very familiar, is the Red Flag Banner Lord Wang Shixuan, Wanli years to take refuge in the Houjin Tartars, Liaodong Han people, familiar with the terrain of Liaodong, inlaid with the Yellow Flag Banner Lord Bayan, this person's identity is more special, the mother is the Houjin royal family, Bayan fights bravely, is a member of the Houjin Warriors, compared, The banner owners of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are all brave generals. ”

"According to the information we have, the combat effectiveness of the Han Eight Banners is not weaker than that of the Eight Banners, and the officers at all levels of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are all drawn from the Eight Banners."

This is clear to everyone, the battle of Gaizhou, the Han Eight Banners led by Jin Li, the combat effectiveness shown, everyone has seen, it is not weaker than the Manchu Eight Banners, it may be slightly inferior to the Manchu Eight Banners in field operations, but in terms of morale, it is even stronger than the Manchu Eight Banners, Lu Xiangsheng's introduction of these situations is also a reminder.

After Lu Xiangsheng introduced the situation, Su Tiancheng looked at everyone.

Sun Chuanting spoke first, Hong Chengchou and Bi Maokang and others all stayed in Gaizhou, and he was the main commander.

"Dashuai, my subordinates feel that the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong have a total strength of 130,000 people, and the Houjin Tartars stationed in Haizhou and Yaozhou have a maximum of 80,000 people, so the defense in the direction of Haizhou is far less than that of Liaodong, if the army can quickly kill back, the Houjin Tartars will be caught off guard and take Yaozhou and Haizhou, which will also threaten Liaodong and Shenyang."

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng's face turned a little pale, and he spoke anxiously.

"No, my subordinates think that the deployment of the campaign can not be easily changed, and the Houjin Tartars have increased their troops, and our army can choose the key points, and still focus on attacking Xiping Fort, attracting the Houjin Tartars stationed in Quang Ninh to leave the city, so that they can implement the tactical arrangement of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and the subordinates think that the army always has to face the Houjin Tartars, and they can't easily change the deployment of the operation because of the change of conditions."

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to attack from Liaodong, and the Liaodong border army had already made preparations.

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze.

Qu Qingze didn't want to speak, he was mainly engaged in intelligence work, as for how to deploy the army, it was not a matter for him to focus on, but Su Tiancheng's meaning was obviously to ask him to speak.

"Marshal, my subordinates agree with Lord Lu's opinion."

Su Tiancheng nodded slightly, and made a decision after the last decision.

"Huang Taiji suddenly increased the number of soldiers stationed in Liaodong, which is indeed a big change for us, 60,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, plus 80,000 Liaodong border army, a total of 140,000 people, originally stationed in Liaodong, but 80,000 people, we have an absolute advantage, but now the situation has changed, there are 130,000 Houjin Tartars stationed in Liaodong, in terms of troops, we have lost the advantage, and we are in an offensive situation, Lu has said before, the fortifications of Guangning City and Xiping Fort are very solidFrom this point of comparison, we don't have any advantage. ”

"The problem we are facing is real, which will increase a lot of variables, this is like cooking rice, it turns out that we can eat cooked food, but the rice in the pot has increased, but the fire is not burning, and the result is boiled into raw rice, what should we do, do we want to give up this pot of rice, I don't think there is a need for that, it is a pot of raw rice, we also have to eat it."

"We need to warn all the soldiers, the battle of Liaodong may be extremely cruel, maybe we will suffer unprecedented losses, but it doesn't matter, Liaodong has gathered most of the troops in the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, as long as we defeat the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong, giving the Houjin Tartars is a devastating blow, I still have that opinion, the battle of Liaodong, our focus is not to attack the city, but to maximize the vitality of the Houjin Tartars, only to destroy the Houjin Tartars, Our battle can be said to be victorious, otherwise the capture of the city would not be of much significance to us. ”

"More than 300,000 Houjin Tartars, the battle of Gaizhou, we exterminated more than 30,000 people, Liaodong has about 130,000, if this group of Houjin Tartars is completely wiped out, then Huang Taiji has less than 200,000 people left, according to the territory occupied by Houjin, Huang Taiji wants to recruit soldiers in a short period of time, I'm afraid it's not that simple, my Ming is different, there is a sufficient source of soldiers, so this battle, victory must belong to us."
