Chapter 1024: Misfortunes never come singly

  Chapter 1024 Misfortunes never come singly

  The map of Shuntian Mansion was placed in front of everyone, but Feng Ziying's expression was heavy.

Originally thought that the Nekhka people and the Horqin people here could be sent back to the outside of the customs as soon as possible by themselves. Even if the east line has stabilized, although the center line is the main attack direction of Chahar, but You Shigong gave up Yongping Mansion as the price. Therefore, mobilizing heavy troops from Jizhen to deal with the Chahar people should be able to withstand it.

   But I didn't expect that the final mistake was in Xuanfu Town.

  The Chaohe Institute and the Bohai Institute, the two most prone to problems, were fine, but in the end it happened in Sihaizhi, which is known as the eastern barrier of Xuanfu.

No one expected that the coalition forces of the Chahar and Wai Khalkha tribes would look far away and seek difficulty, first attacking Yanqing, and then launching an attack across the border, which caught the Jizhen army by surprise and almost killed them. It will lead to the collapse of the entire front.

Sihaizhi is the eastern pass of Xuanfu Town. Due to the particularity of Xuanfu, its eastern section faces the threat of the Chahar people, while the western section faces the Mongolian right-wing tribes. Therefore, its status is rising in Jianzhou Jurchen It used to be the number one border town.

A few years ago, when the Chahar people were in peace, the Tumed people and the Ordos people were always on the verge of moving, so the center of gravity of Xuanda Governor's territory has always been in Datong. , causing Bu Shitu and Su Nang to compete for the throne of Tumed Khan, so the focus of Governor Xuanda returned to Xuanfu.

It stands to reason that a veteran general like Niu Jizong should not have made such a mistake. Even if the coalition forces of the Chahar and Waikalkha appeared in the Mutianyu-Dashuigu area, it is only a few dozen miles away from Sihaizhi The land is less than a hundred miles away from Zhou Zhougou, and the border land should be vigilant. How could it be attacked by the coalition forces of the Wai Khalkha and the Chahar people to break through the border?

  If it is said that it is a strong attack to break through the level, at least it can buy time, so that the rear line of defense can have time to adjust and prepare, but unexpectedly it is a sneak attack to break through the level.

As a result, both Yongning and Sihaizhi were defenseless, and the entire Yanqing Prefecture fell into chaos. The army was unable to organize effective resistance and blocking, causing the enemy to easily cross the inner Great Wall, and the enemy army was also defenseless from the side. Huairou hit him in the middle.

   This blow was too painful, and one move shook the morale of the Jizhen army who was fighting fiercely with the main force of the Chahar people on the Qiangziling-Zhenluying line.

Huairou was captured, and Miyun, the rear of the Jizhen Army, was directly threatened. If the Jizhen Army did not respond in time, the entire army in Shuntian Prefecture might be wiped out, especially in the northern Gubeikou and outside the side wall. The Hal people confronting the army may even be directly made dumplings.

  Feng Ziying's face was gloomy and she kept silent.

  Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong's faces were ashen, and Hou Chengzu's hands were trembling. Compared with the Neikalkha people who suppressed the Beijing camp, Shuntian Prefecture is the real crisis that shakes the overall situation.

  Although their level is too low, they may not know much about the grand strategy, but they can see a general clue by comparing the map.

"Then Li Ruzhang's tribe will be in danger." Zuo Liangyu stared at the map, "The two armies of Waikarka and Chahar have joined forces, Huairou and Miyun have fallen into the hands of the Mongols, and Li Ruzhang's tribe has become How can his nearly 15,000-strong army break out of the encirclement? Outside the side wall is the Chahar army in the middle.”

  At this time, the whole frame of the Mongol invasion to the south has actually been laid out.

  On the eastern front, the coalition forces of the Five Divisions of Neikalkha and the Horqin people invaded Yongping Mansion. This should be regarded as a partial division.

The center line is mainly composed of Chahar people and divided into three groups: the left, the middle, and the right. The left army should be the main force to break through from Qiangziling in Modaoyu, and then lead the line from Zhenluying-Qiangziling and Jizhen You Shigong himself. Fighting with the main force of the army, the right-hand army attempted to break through Gubeikou, but was blocked by Li Ruzhang's troops.

  The Western Front is the Outer Khalkha tribes and the Chahar coalition forces, but the Outer Khalkha tribes are the main force, and the Aohan and Naiman tribes among the Chahar people are supplemented.

They chose to feint on the Mutianyu-Dashuigu line, and then waited until the Chahar right army in the middle line followed up, and quietly changed the flag, allowing the center line Chahar right army to play the role of the outer Khalkha army. The illusion of being stranded on the Mutianyu-Dashuigu line, in fact, the Khalkha army outside the western front has quickly moved westward to the Thursday Valley in Xuanfu to break through.

   It was precisely because of their unexpected move that it caused chaos in Yanqing Prefecture in one fell swoop, and then allowed this army to cross the inner city wall in one fell swoop and go straight into Huairou.

   "You Zongbing gave Li Ruzhang a military order to act cheaply, 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 leaning back in the chair.

Li Ruzhang is the son of Li Chengliang, and he also represents Li Chengliang's remaining forces in Jiliao Town. Although his father has gradually controlled Jiliao Town, he is still not stable in Jizhen. If Li Ruzhang can't be rescued, I'm afraid Niu Jizong should be most responsible, but his father and You Shigong should be held accountable as well.

   If it is not good, it will be seen as deliberately weakening Li Chengliang's influence in Ji Town, and even sent his son to death. Once this impression is formed, his father will 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, his eyes spewed fire, "How dare you lie about the military situation?! Are you bored?"

"My lord! How dare the little one lie about the military situation. The little one didn't close his eyes for two days. He changed three rides all the way before rushing back..." With a crumbling body, a gray face, and blood scabs on his thirsty lips, Kneeling on the ground and choking with sobs, he said, "Fushun is really lost,..."

Feng Tang knew that he had lost his composure. Although he boasted that he would be calm when facing important events, and that Mount Tai would not change his face when he was overwhelmed, but when he got the news today, he was still stunned. His first impression was that this matter lied about the military situation. impossible.

   Lost Fushun?

  How can Fushun be lost?

   Not to mention the stability of the side wall, but Fushun dare not say that it is solid, but if Nurhachi attacks with all his strength, it is impossible for him not to get any news.

The retreat of the Ula tribe into the Yehe tribe also aroused Nurhachi's fury, and even led the main force to pursue it, but was blocked by Cao Wenzhao and Juniper. The two sides had fought fiercely for three days before retreating. Could this Nurhachi know how to fly? The son flew to the east, and also raided Fushun?

  Some time ago, I sent a letter to Li Yongfang to inquire about the situation. In the letter, Li Yongfang also vowed that the situation in Fushun is peaceful, and there is nothing to be afraid of if there are occasional attacks from the Eastern Captives.

I have always thought that although Li Yongfang has a gloomy temper and slick behavior, he is still reliable and has rules in his work, and although he was promoted in Li Chengliang's era, he does not have a deep friendship with Li Chengliang, so there is no To change the meaning of the other party, I didn't expect such a big mistake to happen.

   "What's going on?" Feng Tang still couldn't believe it, so he asked someone to bring honey water to drink, and motioned the other party to sit down and talk about it in detail.

   "Your Excellency, Li Yongfang rebelled. He opened the city and surrendered to the Eastern Captives, causing the side wall to open wide, and the Eastern Captives entered in one fell swoop..."

   Before the visitor finished speaking, Feng Tang stared at him, and almost collapsed in the chair. He Renlong, who was at the side in a panic, hurriedly supported him, "My lord, my lord!"

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

   This is the first rebellion incident in Liaodong Town.

   You must know that although there are often mutinies in Yulin and Datong, they are just mutinies rather than rebellions.

However, since Feng Tang took charge of Liaodong Town for more than a year, the salary has been slowly replenished, and the food and logistics logistics have been basically guaranteed. It can be said that it is much better than the previous few years. It also needs a process, and everyone knows it by heart.

This Li Yongfang is already a high-ranking guerrilla general. Whether it is an official position or a silver income, as a side general, as long as it is not too much, the boss will basically turn a blind eye and close his eyes, and smuggle gold sand with Jianzhou Jurchen. Who wouldn't know leather goods and the tea, salt and iron here?

  Feng Tang felt that he was relatively relaxed, but he didn't expect Li Yongfang to rebel, and he went to Donglu!

   "What is going on, tell me in detail."

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

The sudden blow made him a little unacceptable, but he quickly came to his senses, now is not the time to think about other things, he needs to think about how to deal with it, but what will Li Yongfang's rebellion bring, and what will Nurhachi take advantage of? He needs to figure it out.

   This person is one of the secret works he arranged in Fushun.

As the governor of Jiliao, it is also customary to place or buy a few secret agents around generals who are not his absolute direct descendants and trustworthy generals. If this is not the case, and he does not even know that he has been sold, then the governor or the commander-in-chief will be a failure. up.

  But I didn't expect that I was so careful, and I still got the way.

  He had to stand at attention when he was beaten, and Feng Tang was heartbroken by the blow. He had to figure out what was going on, so he could deal with it.

Only then did the visitor explain the specifics in detail, but his status is not high, he is just a clerk in Li Yongfang's army, but the only advantage is that one of his distant cousins ​​is in Li Yongfang's personal army, so there is such a relationship Can get some news.

"Five days ago, the Eastern Prisoners invaded the border. We all thought that it was just a small shareholder raid. This kind of situation is also common, because there are thousands of people from the Shuerhaqi tribe here. The Eastern Prisoners have always been angry. We and Shuerha All of them are horns of each other,..."

   "I never thought that Shuerhaqi called for help three times, and Li Yongfang only replied that the reinforcements would arrive soon, but in fact, no soldiers were sent out..."
