Adali thinks that his own deployment is very good, the main force of the Han Eight Banners under his command, five miles away from the east bank of the Liao River, close to the bank of the Liao River, is to deploy a large number of banners and tents to deter the Ming army on the other side, of course, Adali has not seen the shadow of the Ming army, and under the current situation, it is impossible to send scouts to the other side of the river to investigate, that must be there is no return.

However, Adali's heart was not particularly nervous, because Prince Rui Dolgon had personally told him that the Ming army would not launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time, and in such a cold climate, no commander would choose to attack, most of them were pretentious, and they would start attacking when the climate warmed up.

Adali didn't understand what Dolgon meant at first, since the Ming army would not attack in a short time, then more than 80,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were not placed east of the Liao River, after all, the consumption of the army was real, and he knew that the Ming army would not attack in a short time, so it would be redundant to arrange and deploy.

However, after arriving at the position, Adali quickly understood what Dolgon meant, after all, he also went through the power game, and was also detained in the Zongren Mansion for nearly two years, and learned to think from multiple angles, Dolgon had just gained the power to take charge of the Great Qing Kingdom, and at this moment came the news that the Ming army was going to attack, Dolgon would never dare to slack off, not afraid of 10,000, afraid of what happened, and sent a large army to put on a decisive battle posture on the bank of the Liao River, which was nothing more than consuming some grain and grass, which showed Dolgon's determination to defend the Qing Kingdom to the death, It also made many Manchu nobles support Dolgon even more.

After Adali figured this out, he was not particularly nervous, he thought that Dorgon's analysis must be correct, there would be no deviation, the current climate is indeed very cold, and the temperature at night is still below minus 10 degrees. This bitter cold climate must have stopped the Ming army from attacking.

Despite this, Adali still sent a large number of sergeants every day to reconnoiter along the banks of the Liao River, and the range of reconnaissance was very large, extending up and down for nearly fifty li, which was also to prevent the scouts of the Ming army from crossing the river from other places to reconnoitre.

Since the army was stationed on the banks of the Liao River. Adali wrote a letter to Dorgon every two days, detailing the situation, and he already regarded Dorgon as the de facto emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Adali came out of the Zongren Mansion, and didn't even go to see his grandfather Daishan, when he was in the Zongren Mansion, he gritted his teeth at Daishan's righteous killing of his relatives, and even thought that he didn't have Daishan's grandfather, and Adali at this time forgot the harm he had done to Daishan. I forgot why I was named the king of the county.

Unlike Adali, after Shuotuo came out of the Zongren Mansion, he immediately went to visit his father Daishan.

I'm afraid that Shuotuo's choice is not in line with Dorgon's wishes, so even if he leaves the Zongren Mansion, even if he returns to the mansion, Dolgon did not arrange for Shuotuo to do anything, you must know the reason why Shuotuo entered the Zongren Mansion. Accept punishment because of fanatical support for goodness.

That's how strange people are. Some people have been hit hard and are able to think through a lot of things, while some people will stick to their previous choices even after they have been hit, and Shuotu and Adali are the best examples.

Because Shuotuo went to meet Daishan, Adali had a big opinion about Shuotuo. When the two meet again, a heated argument ensues, and Adali tries to persuade Shoto get rid of the family and submit to Dorgon, but Shoto taunts Adali for forgetting the family. became a tool for others, and the two did not speculate, and since then they have basically cut off contact.

A makeshift Chinese military tent.

Adali stood beside Zu Dashou, Bayan and Tong Tulai, while Li Guohan and Jin Li stood opposite.

More officers and sergeants drawn from the Manchurian Eight Banners and the White Flags were scattered around the Chinese military tent.

These people are the main officers of the Han Eight Banners, among which Bayan, Tong Tulai, Li Guohan and Jin Li and others are the banner owners of the Han Eight Banners, the original four banner owners of the Han Eight Banners, Zu Zerun, Shi Tingzhu, Liu Zhiyuan and Wu Shoujin, were killed in the battle of Liaodong, I don't know what the considerations are, Huang Taiji, who was completely in control of the Han Eight Banners at that time, did not appoint a new banner owner.

But the real ones in power are Adali and the officers and sergeants of the Eight Banners.

The scout knelt on the ground with a pale face, and Adaali's expression was cloudy.

The news reported by the scouts was beyond Adali's expectations, there was already movement on the other side of the river, and you could vaguely see that the artillery of the Ming army was being assembled, neatly displayed on the shore, as if it was about to attack, and more than ten sailing boats had been seen on the other side of the river, which were specially used to transport attacking sergeants.

Could it be that the Ming army was really ready to attack, and in such a cold climate, wasn't the Ming army afraid of bad weather, which would lead to a setback in the attack.

Adalie thought more of Dolgon's analysis, and he was completely convinced of Dorgon's prediction.

For this reason, Adali reprimanded the scout mercilessly, and asked the scout to investigate several times in a row, until the scout knew the information, and he did not give up.

Adali needed to know whether the Ming army on the other side was in an offensive posture or was really preparing to attack.

It is said that this is a very simple judgment, except for Adali, Zu Dashou and others all believe that the Ming army is indeed going to launch a general offensive, and the Eight Banners Army should be prepared to deal with it.

But Adali was still hesitant.

Adali's attitude made Zu Dashou and others anxious, but they didn't dare to speak excessively, and no one dared to guarantee whether they would anger Adali, you must know that Adali has absolute power in his hands, and he can even directly kill Zu Dashou and others.

Bayan and Tong Tulai are better, after all, they have the status of Manchurians, and Adali is much more polite to them.

The status of the Han people in the Great Qing Dynasty is already very low, and the Han Eight Banners are also implicated, even this expedition, the officers of the Han Eight Banners do not have any decision-making power at all, and even the banner owners are no exception, and those officers and sergeants of the Manchu Eight Banners are the ones who can really make decisions.

After a long silence, Adali waved his hand to let the kneeling scout exit the tent.

He seemed to be talking to himself, and it was like asking for advice.

"Strange, the climate is so cold, is the Ming army really preparing to attack, I don't believe it, I see that this matter will be reported to His Royal Highness Prince Rui quickly......"

Bayan couldn't help it, and after Adali finished speaking, he spoke closely.

"Marshal, the military situation is urgent, if you wait until His Royal Highness Prince Rui makes a decision, and the Ming army on the other side really attacks, the outcome will be difficult to manage, and the advice of his subordinates is to launch defensive deployments on the one hand, and report to His Royal Highness Prince Rui on the other hand......"

Adali nodded slightly, after all, he, the coach, also knew that under the current situation, he needed to make defensive deployments.

"Well, Ben Shuai made the following arrangements......"

More than 80,000 Han Eight Banner sergeants were divided into two parts, the front army was 30,000 people, and the rest was the Chinese army, Bayan and Tong Tulai were responsible for commanding 30,000 former troops, facing the battle on the bank of the Liao River, and Adali led the rest of the sergeants to meet the current camp, and in the past ten days, the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners had built fortifications around the camp, which was enough to resist the attack of the Ming army.

Including Zu Dashou and others, they all stayed in the Chinese army, Adali didn't believe in the Han people at all, and when the battle really came, he would not give the Han people real command, even if it was the banner master.

Adali's arrangement has deeply stabbed Zu Dashou, Li Guohan, Jin Li and others, but Adali doesn't care at all, he thinks that Zu Dashou and others can only endure silently.

Some of the officers and sergeants of the Eight Banners and the White Flag were also divided into two parts, most of them remained in the Chinese army, and a small number followed the front army.

After Adali made the arrangements, he did not ask the sergeant to act immediately, in fact, he was still hesitating.

At this time, Adali still believed that the Ming army might be putting on an offensive posture, or a tentative attack, and would not really cross the Liao River, because once the Ming army crossed the Liao River, then the tragic battle would start immediately, and the Ming army would not be able to stop at all, because the Ming army that crossed the Liao River had directly threatened Shenyang, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, so whether it was the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners or the Han Eight Banners, they would resist desperately.

The Eighth Banner Army adapts to the cold climate, which has a natural advantage over the Ming Army.

Until the end, Adali did not have a clear time to act, which made Tong Tulai and Bayan and others very difficult, and they did not know when to lead the army to act.

At this time, Adali would no longer continue to listen to the persuasion of Tong Tulai and others, and he needed to immediately report the information here to Dolgon, the Prince of Rui in Shenyang.

Bayan, Tong Tulai, and most of the officers with white flags and white flags in the Eight Banners, more than an hour after Adali gave the order, went together to make a statement, believing that the army must act immediately, in case the Ming army really attacked, then the undefended east bank of the Liao River would be completely occupied by the Ming army, and at that time, the Eight Banners Army would suffer tremendous pressure.

Adali thought for a while, and finally made a decision, agreeing to allow Tong Tulai and Bayan to lead the army to attack.

The military camp was only five miles away from the east bank of the Liao River, and it did not take long for the army to be stationed.

When Bayan and Tong Tulai led the army to set off, Adali, as the commander-in-chief, did not even come to see him off in person, and at this moment he was still thinking about how to report in detail to Dorgon, the prince of Rui.

No one noticed that many of the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners had blank eyes and walked with their heads down, they didn't seem to care about the upcoming battle, and they didn't have any morale.

Zu Dashou, Li Guohan, Jin Li and others still came to send it specially, and there was no expression in their eyes, I don't know what they were thinking. (To be continued.) )
