"If I don't agree, are you going to use this corner of Liaoyang City to resist our Ming army?"
"There is a saying among the Han people that it is better to be in pieces than in ruins. I, the Manchu warrior, are not afraid of threats and death. The general of Liaoyang City may not see it in his eyes, but the identity of my big Baylor will definitely make the general change his mind."
Turush raised his head and faced Shi Dayong without flinching at all, and Ebilun also looked excited. Obviously, the two of them had confirmed with Mang Gurtai the bottom line of the negotiation with the Ming army before they came. If the Ming general did not agree to them
They would rather die than surrender the city.
"Humph, are you threatening me?" Dayong was angry. A group of desperate people dared to hold treasures and ask for prices. They were really impatient, not to mention they were bluffing themselves, bullshit Big Belle.
Just a bunch of lost dogs!
Turush, however, was not afraid. He shook his head and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "I dare not. We are just telling the facts to the general. As for the general's decision, we cannot control it."
"Since I crossed the sea, I have won every battle and conquered every city. I can be said to be invincible and unbeatable. You think a small Liaoyang city can stop me from heading north!" Dayong slapped his palm on the table.
, the vibration caused the tea bowl above to jump violently.
Turush was not intimidated by Dayong's furious look, but said confidently: "Liaoyang City may not be able to stop the general, but it can still hold him back for a few days."
Dayong glanced at him coldly: "What if it takes a few days? Sooner or later, Liaoyang City will fall into the hands of my Ming Dynasty, and even Shenyang City will be in my pocket! With this great achievement,
This commander is enough to report his victory to the court, so why does your Baylor need to be the icing on the cake?"
After hearing this, Turush chuckled and said: "With all due respect, if the general had intended to attack Shenyang, he would have already arrived at Liaoyang, so why bother hanging around in Anshan? There is a saying in the art of war.
You must be quick. The general knew that Shenyang was empty and Liaoyang was weakly defended. Why didn't he send troops to capture it quickly? Instead, he delayed in Anshan? In the meantime, the general may have unspeakable difficulties. I think that since the general landed in Jinzhou, although
They have won consecutive battles and captured countless cities, but the battle line is too long, and troops must be divided to guard everywhere. The general's military strength may not be sufficient, and the food and grass may soon be exhausted. How to choose at this moment must be
The general knows better than anyone."
Ebilun took over the conversation and said calmly: "People of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. Since we want to cooperate with the general, we know what the general lacks now. In the words of you Han people, good timing, natural benefits, and human harmony, the general."
There is nothing. So the general does not need to threaten us, he just needs to think about it. I don’t have to cooperate with the general. With my status in the hearts of the people, I rely on the city of Liaoyang and the
It may not be impossible for Hong Tai to divide his court to resist the rites."
"Humph, the main force of the Eight Banners has not yet returned to the army. Be it Shenyang or Liaoyang, they are all like empty cities to me. It is as easy as picking out objects from a bag. How can the right time, place and people come about? Do you think you can persuade people with just one mouth?
Is this commander being used by you?"
Dayong was unmoved, looked at Ebilun, and sneered: "If your Amar can really gain a foothold in Liaoyang, will you two appear in front of me?" The current problem of the Ming army pointed out by Turush
It's not that Dayong really cares, because he has no intention of staying in Liaonan for a long time, and he doesn't care about the lack of food. As long as there are bannermen in Liaonan, the Jinzhou Army will not be afraid of starvation. The only thing he wants to do is to transform the land thousands of miles away in Liaonan.
In ruins, it serves no other purpose.
"I..."
Dayong pointed out the actual situation of Mang Gurtai in one sentence, which made Ebilun blush. He couldn't help but want to retort to save his face. However, Turush interrupted him and said to Shi Dayong: "General, I Coming here will prove the sincerity of my master's dedication to the city. Now you and I are allies, not enemies. If we work together, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will lose. Doesn't the general want to make a contribution that will last forever? As long as the general's heart is still there Thinking of Shenyang, we’d better open the skylight and speak frankly.”
It was only then that the other party showed some intention of begging for cooperation. Dayong couldn't help but secretly chuckle, "Then what do you mean by Tianshi?"
"The weather at the right time is the weather outside the pass. It is impossible for the general not to know that the heavy snow may fall at any time. By then, it will be impossible for the general to march in the snow. This kind of severe cold weather is the capital of our Eight Banners Army. Dare not send troops without permission, what about General Kuang's subordinates? Even if there is no soldiers stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang, the general will have to spend a lot of time to capture the two cities, which will inevitably lead to the loss of troops and generals. The general is afraid of the soldiers. If he loses If there are too many losses, what will happen no matter how great the achievements are?" Turush knew that the strength of the Ming army generals is related to their own status a few years ago, and instinctively regarded this in the battle of Jinzhou last year. Shi Dayong, who had just emerged, was connected with other military generals of the Ming Dynasty.
"That's not necessarily true."
After listening to Turush's words, Wu Heyin, who had been beside him, suddenly interrupted and said: "Since ancient times, there are many examples of great victories during marches in the snow. Back then, Li Jingke of the Tang Dynasty made a surprise attack on the Turkic Jieli Khan during the heavy snowfall and won a great victory. Complete victory, and Li Suxue from the Tang Dynasty entered Caizhou at night to defeat the rebels. Even at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu took advantage of the snow to attack and defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop. How can you be sure that our army will be hindered by this heavy snow? As for the heavy snow, There is nothing anyone can do about the loss of military strength. People will die in war. This is a matter of course. My general is determined to restore Liaodong. As long as he can achieve this goal, the loss of military strength is nothing." He changed the family thoroughly. He spoke of me as a Ming Dynasty man, as if he had always been a member of the Ming Dynasty, rather than a traitor who was a slave of the Manchus.
Who is this person?
Turush and Ebilun looked at each other. The guy with the Han hair style in front of them looked familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen them before. But seeing that the other person's status was not high and he didn't wear official uniform, they wanted to come. He was not an important person, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. (Author’s note: At this time, the Han people outside the customs had not yet shaved their heads)
Ebilun asked back: "Even if the general insists on advancing despite the snow and cold, and is not afraid of losing troops and generals, how can he defeat the city? Does the general think that he can cut down my Liaoyang city with just the saber in his hand? General, don't tell me. I can pull the cannon to the gate of Liaoyang City in this ice and snow. If the general says this, I will leave immediately without saying another word to the general."
"My master has been prepared. The general cannot easily break the city. Without Liaoyang as his support, the general would not dare to go directly to Shenyang. Although my master does not have many soldiers and horses, he can attack the general from behind. It can cut off the general's food supply and put him in a dilemma in the ice and snow. Without my master doing anything else, the general will probably face a big defeat." Turush reminded Shi Dayong again that he did not have Liaoyang City in hand. What are the consequences of blindly marching into Shenyang?
Dayong was silent. What the other party said was indeed true. The reason why he was hesitant was because of the damn weather. Although the expanded Jinzhou Army in Dengzhou already had the prototype of a "motorized" army, these "motorcycles" were not real. The mechanized vehicles of later generations were horses that had to eat grass and feed. Once it snowed, it was bound to freeze, making it difficult to march. And after all, Liaoyang was once the capital of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. The city was extremely tall and built, and it also served as the Kingdom of Jin. How can a four-year capital city be comparable to the former acropolis such as Jinzhou and Fuzhou? It is impossible for him to really pull up hundreds of cannons. The battle line is too long. If the main force of the Eight Banners returns, he will He couldn't run away even if he wanted to. So far, Dayong has not been arrogant enough to rely on the newly formed Jinzhou Army to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Eight Banners.
If Liaoyang City resists as stubbornly as Anshan, it won't take long. As long as it lasts four or five days, he will have no choice but to retreat in despair. He cannot and cannot put his hope of seizing Shenyang on the extravagant hope that God will not snow. .It is already very cold now. There are reports of soldiers suffering from frostbite from various places. Dayong has ordered to slaughter as many cattle and sheep as possible and use ointment to prevent frostbite to avoid unnecessary casualties. But once it really snows, no matter how much ointment is used, it will not be avoided. Frostbite, this damn Guanwai is affected by Xiaoglacier. It’s really colder than last year. It’s too cold. It hasn’t snowed yet. It’s already a plug-in for the Jinzhou Army. Dayong doesn’t expect this plug-in to be open until next year. .
Seeing Dayong's hesitation, Turush knew that the other party was interested, and hurriedly hit the railway line while it was hot: "Although the weather is not on the general's side, as long as my master helps me, the weather, the right location, and the people will all be on the general's side." It’s over!”
Dayong still didn't say a word, but his expression became obviously relaxed.
"But taking Liaoyang without any effort, without losing a single soldier, is equivalent to saving a few days for the general to take Shenyang. With these few days, how can the general fail to take Shenyang? And I have Liaoyang City to do it. With this support, the general no longer has to worry about the safety of food and grass. He can advance to attack or retreat to defend. With the help of my master, taking Shenyang City is as easy as the general said just now. And all my master wants is to have an audience with the emperor of your country. , I ask your country to help my master and Hong Tai fight for the outside of the pass. It is not too much to ask for. The Ming and Jin sides have been fighting outside the pass for more than 20 years. If the emperor of your country does not want to regain the outside of the pass, he will not continue to build large and small buildings. Linghe City will not let the general cross the sea for an expedition." Turrush didn't know that the Jinzhou Army was actually sending troops privately without the consent of the court. If he knew, he might have had other considerations. After all, Mang Gurtai The goal is to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, not with a general that the Ming Dynasty court does not trust.
