Chapter 218: Misfortunes do not come singly

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The map of Shuntian Prefecture was placed in front of everyone, but Feng Ziying had a heavy expression.

I originally thought that the Khalkha and Horqin people here could be sent back to the outside of the customs as soon as possible. Even if the eastern front was stabilized, although the middle line was the direction of Chahar's main attack, You Shigong sacrificed it at the expense of Yongping Prefecture.

, mobilize heavy troops from Ji Town to deal with the Chahar people, they should be able to withstand them.

But I didn't expect that the mistake would eventually occur in Xuanfu Town.

There was no problem at the Chaohe Institute and the Bohai Institute, the two most prone places for trouble, but in the end it happened at Sihaizhi, which is known as the eastern barrier of Xuanfu.

No one expected that the coalition forces from Chahar and the Outer Kalkha tribes would sacrifice the near and the easy for the difficult, first capture Yanqing, and then launch a cross-border attack, catching the Jizhen army by surprise and almost falling.

It will lead to the collapse of the entire front.

Sihaizhi is the eastern key pass of Xuanfu Town. Due to the special nature of Xuanfu, its eastern section faces the threat of the Chahar people, while its western section faces the Mongolian right-wing tribes, so its status in Jianzhou Jurchen rises

It has always been the number one border town before.

In the past few years, when the Chahar people were peaceful, the Tumuts and Ordos people were always ready to make trouble, so the focus of Xuanda Governor-General's jurisdiction has always been in Datong. However, in recent years, the Tumuts have passed away due to the deaths of King Shunyi and Sanniangzi.

, causing Bu Shitu and Su Nang to compete for the position of Tumut Khan, so the focus of Governor Xuan returned to the Xuan Mansion.

It stands to reason that a veteran like Niu Jizong should not make such a mistake. Even if the coalition forces of Chahar and the Waikarkha people appear in the Mutianyu-Dashui Valley area, they are only a few dozen kilometers away from Sihaizhi.

Lidi, it is less than a hundred miles away from Thursday ditch, so the people on the border should be alert. How could it happen that they were attacked and breached by the coalition forces of the Outer Khalkha and Chahar people?

If it was a tough attack to break through, it would at least buy time so that the defense line behind could adjust and prepare, but unexpectedly it was a sneak attack to break through.

As a result, both Yongning and Sihaizhi were left defenseless, and the entire Yanqing Prefecture fell into chaos. The army was unable to organize effective resistance and blockade. As a result, the enemy could easily cross the Inner Great Wall, leaving the enemy equally unprepared from the side.

Huairou struck at the waist.

This blow was so painful that it shook the morale of the Jizhen Army, which was fighting fiercely with the main force of the Chahar people at Qiangziling-Zhenluying line.

Huairou was captured, and Miyun, the Ji Zhen Army's rear area, was directly threatened. If the Ji Zhen Army did not respond in time, the entire army in Shuntian Prefecture might be annihilated, especially at Gubeikou in the north and outside the border wall.

The army of Hal people confronting each other may even be directly made into dumplings.

Feng Ziying looked gloomy and remained silent.

Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong's faces turned pale, and Hou Chengzu's hands trembled. Compared with the Inner Khalkha people who wiped out the Beijing camp, Shuntian Prefecture was the real crisis that shook the overall situation.

Although their level is too low and they may not know much about grand strategy, they can still get a rough idea by comparing the map.

"Then Li Ruzhang's tribe will be in danger." Zuo Liangyu stared at the map, "The armies of the Outer Khalkha and Chahar people have completed the rendezvous, Huairu and Miyun have both fallen into the hands of the Mongols, and Li Ruzhang's tribe has become

This is a turtle in a urn, how can his army of nearly 15,000 people escape from the encirclement? There is also the Chahar People's Middle Route Army outside the border wall."

At this time, the entire framework of the Mongolian invasion to the south had actually come out.

On the eastern front, the five Inner Khalkha tribes and the Horqin people allied forces invaded Yongping Prefecture. This should be regarded as a partial division.

The center line is dominated by the Chahar people and is divided into three routes: left, middle and right. The left route army should be the main force to break through from Qiangziling in Modaoyu, and then in Zhenluying-Qiangziling line and Jizhen You Shigong personally

He led the main force in the battle. The right route army attempted to break through Gubeikou, but was blocked by Li Ruzhang's troops.

On the western front are the coalition forces of the Outer Khalkha tribes and the Chahar tribe, but they are dominated by the Outer Khalkha tribes, supplemented by the Aohan and Naiman tribes of the Chahar people.

They chose to feint attack on the Mutianyu-Dashui Valley line, and then waited until the Chahar right army on the center line caught up, and then quietly changed the flag, allowing the Chahar right army on the center line to act as the Outer Khalkha army.

They still appear to be stuck at the Mutianyu-Dashui Valley line, but in fact the Outer Khalkha army on the western front has quickly moved westward to break through the Thursday ditch in Xuanfu territory.

It was precisely because of their unexpected move that it caused chaos in Yanqing Prefecture, allowing this army to cross the inner city wall and penetrate Huairou.

"General Soldier You gave Li Ruzhang the military order to act expediently, but in this case, it doesn't make much sense. Li Ruzhang's troops can't escape at all." Feng Ziying sighed softly and couldn't help but lean back in the chair.

Li Ruzhang is the son of Li Chengliang, and he also represents Li Chengliang's remaining power in Ji Liao Town. Although his father has gradually controlled Ji Liao Town, he is still not stable in Ji Town. If Li Ruzhang's tribe cannot be rescued, I am afraid that

The biggest responsibility falls on Niu Jizong, but his father and You Shigong are equally responsible.

If he didn't do it well, he would be seen as deliberately weakening Li Chengliang's influence in Jizhen, even to the point of sending his son to death. Once this impression was formed, his father would be in trouble.

Feng Ziying didn't know that his father was already in huge trouble at this time.

"What?!" Feng Tang suddenly jumped up from his seat. He couldn't believe his ears and his eyes were spitting fire. "How dare you lie about military information?! Are you tired of living?"

"Sir! How dare you lie about the military situation? I didn't close my eyes for two days. I changed horses three times before I rushed back..." The shaky body, gray face, and thirsty lips were already covered with blood scabs.

, knelt on the ground and choked: "Fushun is really lost..."

Feng Tang knew that he had lost his composure. Even though he prided himself on being calm and calm when faced with major events, he was still shocked when he got the news today. His first impression was that he had lied about the military situation.

impossible.

Lost Fushun?

How can Fushun be lost?

Not to mention that the border wall is solid, even Fushun dare not say that it is impregnable. But if Nurhachi attacks with all his strength, there is no way that he will not get any information.

The retreat of the Ula tribe into the Yehe tribe also aroused Nurhaci's fury. He even led the main force to pursue it, but was blocked by Cao Wenzhao and Jun Jun. The two sides had fought fiercely for three days before retreating. Could it be that Nurhachi could fly?

Then he flew to the east and raided Fushun?

Some time ago, I wrote a letter to Li Yongfang asking about the situation. In the letter, Li Yongfang also swore that the situation in Fushun was peaceful and that there was nothing to fear from the occasional raids by Donglu.

I have always thought that although Li Yongfang has a somewhat gloomy temper and is slick, he is still reliable and has methods for doing things. Moreover, although he was promoted during the Li Chengliang era, he did not have a deep friendship with Li Chengliang, so he did not

Changing the other party's intentions, I didn't expect such a big mistake to happen.

"What on earth is going on?" Feng Tang still couldn't believe it, so he asked him to bring honey water for him to drink, and motioned for him to sit down and talk in detail.

"My Lord Governor, Li Yongfang rebelled. He surrendered to the Donglu in Kaicheng, causing the border wall to open wide, and the Donglu army entered in one fell swoop..."

Before the visitor finished speaking, Feng Tang's eyes were filled with stars and he almost collapsed in his chair. He Renlong, who was panicking at the side, hurriedly supported him, "My lord, my lord!"

But the two of them were also stunned by Li Yongfang's rebellion.

This is the first time a rebellion occurred in Liaodong Town.

You must know that although there are frequent mutinies in Yulin and Datong, they are just mutinies rather than rebellions and surrenders to the enemy. Most of them are soldiers and lower-level officers coercing their superiors to rebel for pay.

However, since Feng Tang took charge of Liaodong Town for more than a year, the salary and funds are slowly being replenished, and the logistics of food and fodder are basically guaranteed. It can be said that it is much better than in previous years. Of course, there are definitely some unsatisfactory aspects, but this

It also requires a process, and everyone is aware of it.

This Li Yongfang has already reached a high position as a guerrilla general. In terms of official position and monetary income, as a side general, as long as it is not too excessive, his superiors will basically turn a blind eye and smuggle gold sand with the Jurchens in Jianzhou.

Who doesn’t know about leather goods and the silk, tea, salt and iron here?

Feng Tang felt that he had been relatively relaxed, but he didn't expect that Li Yongfang actually rebelled and defected to Donglu!

"Tell me exactly what happened."

Feng Tang shook off He Renlong and stood up. Although his face was a little pale, he was still stable.

The momentary blow was a little hard for him to accept, but he quickly came to his senses. Now is not the time to think about other things, but how to deal with it. But what will Li Yongfang's rebellion and surrender to the enemy bring? What will Nurhaci do if he takes advantage of the opportunity?

He needs to figure it all out.

This person was one of the people he arranged to work in Fushun.

As the governor of Ji Liao, it is customary for him to place or bribe a few generals who are not his direct lineage and trustworthy generals. If this is not the case, and he does not even know that he has been sold, then this governor, whether he is a general or a general, will be a failure.

Already.

But I didn't expect that I had been so careful and still succeeded.

He had to stand upright after being beaten. Feng Tang was heartbroken by this blow. He wanted to understand what was going on so that he could deal with it.

The person who came here told the details in detail, but his status was not high. He was just a clerk in Li Yongfang's army, but his only advantage was that a distant cousin of his was in Li Yongfang's army, so he had this relationship.

I can get some news.

"Five days ago, when the Donglu invaded the border, we all thought it was just a harassment by small shareholders. This kind of situation is also common, because there are thousands of people from Shuerha's tribe here, and the Donglu have been unhappy. We and Shuerha

All of them are horns to each other..."

"I never expected that Shuerhaqi asked for help three times. Li Yongfang only replied that reinforcements would be arriving soon, but in fact, no troops were sent out..."
