"Remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet, the emperor's plan is so wonderful..."

Putting down the letter in his hand, Liao Wenru showed a comfortable smile on his face.

Zu Dashou, Jin Li, Zu Dalue, Zu Kuan, Jin Guoqi and Jin Guochen felt inexplicable. Just now, Liao Wenru's face was still full of sadness. It's no wonder that in the battle of Xipingbao, 50,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were wiped out.

, nearly 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were captured alive, and almost all were escorted across the Liaohe River. This was to prevent the news from leaking. How to deal with these prisoners gave Liao Wenru a headache, as well as Zu Dashou and Jin Li, who had won a great victory.

It was impossible to kill them all, and there was not enough time for screening. The army was about to launch an attack on Liaoyang City. It was impossible to spare a large number of troops to screen the captured Han soldiers, not to mention that there were Shi Tingzhu inside.

Ma Guozhu and Wu Shojin were the three main officers of the Han army.

Liao Wenru reported the war in Liaodong to the emperor and the court at any time, and the Intelligence Department in the direction of Xipingbao also continuously sent the collected intelligence to the capital as quickly as possible. The situation of the battle in Xipingbao, the emperor and the court

It had been known for a long time. Just when Liao Wenru was thinking hard about how to deal with the Han prisoners, the emperor's letter came.

"Everyone, the emperor is aware of all the war ahead. The emperor is a little worried about Qiao Mingjun who is going to Zhenbeiguan and the 60,000 Denglai New Army soldiers. He requires us to immediately launch an attack on Liaoyang, Anshan and other places to disperse the Eight Banners Army.

Attention, even if Dorgon knew that soldiers from the Denglai New Army were deployed at Zhenbeiguan, he would not be able to devote his main energy to deal with it..."

Everyone nodded. They all understood this truth. The key was what the emperor just said about remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet. Can this method be used to deal with the captured Han army sergeants?

Liao Wenru had a smile on his face and no longer pretended.

"The Emperor's foresight and strategic planning are not something we can expect. You all know that in the past few years, the Han people in Hou Jin have been in a difficult situation and have encountered countless insults from the Manchus. Let's not talk about the ordinary Han people in Hou Jin, let's talk about Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.

The Han ministers who were waiting for the Later Jin Dynasty, Ning Wan I was executed by the Later Jin Dynasty court on unfounded charges. Fan Wencheng was humiliated by Duduo and had no face to go to court. He is still recuperating at home..."

"Under such circumstances, I will not say more about the status of the Han people in the Later Jin Dynasty. And the Han Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty are probably full of complaints and are unwilling to serve the Later Jin Dynasty..."

"The emperor asked us to carry out an action of recalling the bitterness and sweetness among the captives of Hou Jin. That is to say, among these Han soldiers, we should expose the arrogance and ruthlessness of the Manchus, inspire the bloody spirit of the Han soldiers, and let them take the initiative,

Willingly join us to severely attack Hou Jin's Eight Banners Army..."

"In the letter, the emperor also talked about how to seize this excellent opportunity to defeat the Eight Banners Army stationed in Liaoyang and Anshan in one fell swoop, and how to annihilate them all. At the same time, he asked us to create something for the 60,000 soldiers who went to Zhenbeiguan.

Create the best atmosphere so that they can firmly defend Zhenbeiguan..."

Having said this, Liao Wenru looked at Jin Li.

"General Jin, this matter belongs to you. The emperor said in the letter that you will directly play chess with Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guohua, Wu Shojin and others. As long as you can make them sincerely submit, the overall situation will be determined, and we can do it with the minimum

losses, capture Liaoyang, and completely wipe out the Eight Banners Army stationed in Liaoyang..."

Jin Li stood up, walked to the middle, and cupped his fists at Liao Wenru.

"My subordinates will obey the commander-in-chief's instructions and will do their best..."

Liao Wenru smiled and waved his hands.

"Needless to say, you assisted General Zu and completely wiped out the Han army that attacked Xipingbao. This is a great achievement. After the battle is over, I will report your credit to the emperor and the court. Our main goal at the moment is In Liaoyang and Anshan, according to the latest information obtained by the scouts, Liaoyang City is stationed with the Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, and Xianglan Banner of the Eight Banners, as well as the Zhenghong Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Xianglan Banner of the Mongolian Eight Banners, with a total strength of about 130,000. , Anshan is stationed with the Zhenglan Banner of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Xianghong Banner of the Mongolian Eight Banners, with about 30,000 troops. In Liaoyang, Prince Zheng of the Later Jin Dynasty was in charge, Jierharang, of the Later Jin Dynasty, and in Anshan, Prince Zheng of the Later Jin Dynasty was in charge. I would like to express my gratitude to the prince of the county, Nikan, and to Rao Yubeile and Yuedong of the later Jin Dynasty..."

"Thirty thousand naval generals led by Niu Ben have arrived in Anshan and are preparing to encircle Anshan City. They are currently waiting for my order. They were originally going to come directly to Liaoyang, but Jierhalang adjusted their deployment accordingly, and we also You have to adjust accordingly so that you can be sure of victory..."

"Zu Dashou and Jin Li stay behind, while the rest of you go prepare. Remember to warn the soldiers not to be anxious, wait for orders, and to carry out orders to the letter..."

Everyone left the Chinese military tent.

Liao Wenru stood up and walked in front of Zu Dashou and Jin Li.

"You two have worked hard. On behalf of the court, I would like to congratulate you..."

Zu Dashou shook his head and cupped his fists at Liao Wenru.

"Commander, please don't say that. These are all the commander-in-chief's wise decisions. We are just fighting according to the commander-in-chief's deployment..."

Liao Wenru waved his hand.

"A good fight means a good fight. General Zu made a quick decision and decisively advanced the attack time. This step is very critical. The attack time was advanced, which caught Shi Tingzhu and others off guard and had no time to deploy. This is one of the keys to victory. Also, One thing, you know how to choose. Although some people from Liaohe River to Xipingbao were killed by the Han army, this also confused the Han army to the maximum extent, making them feel that they were not exposed, so they went to Xipingbao boldly..."

Zu Dashou's face turned slightly red and he clasped his fists at Liao Wenru again.

"Commander, this matter was my subordinate's mistake, which resulted in the loss of people's lives. I am preparing to apologize to the commander..."

Liao Wenru smiled slightly.

"Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, and only those who give up will gain something. The emperor already knew about this and did not say anything. Think about it, if the Han army crossed the Liao River and saw crops on the ground and houses scattered everywhere, but there was no single one. What would ordinary people, Shi Tingzhu and the others think? If you ask me, any fool would know what is going on in such a scene..."

"Some common people sacrificed their lives and property to get the best fighting opportunities for Denglai's new army. The emperor has issued an order to Lord Chen Siyu, the governor of Liaodong, asking Lord Chen to bury these people generously and give them financial compensation..."

"There is also Niuben. The Han army stationed in Yaozhou surrendered voluntarily. He captured the city of Yaozhou without any effort. After receiving my order, he killed hundreds of Han army prisoners to avoid worries and led the army to Liaoyang. , The Emperor also knows about this and has no intention of punishing General Niu..."

"When the war comes, for the sake of the overall situation, some things have to be done. In fact, the orders you received to escort the prisoners of the Han army across the Liao River were directly issued by the emperor and the court. I have to say that I didn't understand it at the time. I felt that these were It would be great if the Han prisoners were kept in Xiping Fort and kept under guard, so that we can attack Liaoyang with all our strength..."

When Liao Wenru said this, Zu Dashou and Jin Li's expressions became focused.

"General Zu, General Jin, you only have two days. If Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guozhu and Wu Shojin are unwilling to surrender and do things for our Denglai New Army, then don't blame me for being ruthless..."

"I just received a letter from General Qiao Mingjun. They should have arrived at Zhenbeiguan in the past two days. Once they arrive at Zhenbeiguan, their whereabouts will definitely be exposed, and Dorgon in Shenyang will definitely react. By that time, we Action must be taken..."

"If Dorgon sends a large army to Zhenbeiguan, then our army will press the border, capture Liaoyang as quickly as possible, and then march towards Shenyang. If Dorgon sends a large army to Liaoyang to try to fundamentally solve the problem, then we will We will not reject anyone who comes, and we will use all our strength to wipe out the main force of the Eight Banners Army..."

Zu Dashou and Jin Li's eyes widened and their expressions became excited.

Liao Wenru calmed down and looked at Jin Li before speaking.

"General Jin, this is the method of persuading surrender written by the emperor himself. Read it carefully and understand it with your heart. After an hour, you will go to Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guozhu and Wu Shojin and try every means to make them switch sides. As long as they are willing to cooperate with my Denglai New Army, Taking Liaoyang is just around the corner, I'm afraid Dorgon and Jierhalang won't have time to make the next move..."

Jin Li carefully took the letter handed over by Liao Wenru.

"General Jin, you go ahead and prepare well. I'm waiting for your good news..."

After Jin Li left, only Zu Dashou was left in the Zhongjun tent.

Liao Wenru still had a smile on his face.

"General Zu, there is a task that must be completed by you. If General Jin persuades Shi Tingzhu and others to submit, you will use your connections in Liaodong to pass on the news that the Han army captured Xiping Fort, causing heavy losses to Xiping Fort. The situation in Liaodong is shaken. When your news spreads and reaches Liaoyang, our army will retreat. At that time, it will be up to Jierhalang to decide whether to lead the army to attack or continue to defend Liaoyang and Liaoyang. Anshan, in short, we want to make Jierhalang believe that the Han army he sent won the victory and that his strategy was successful..."

Zu Dashou's eyes burst out with light, and he vaguely understood the meaning.

"Don't worry, Commander, my subordinates understand."

Liao Wenru nodded.

"Well, go and see how General Jin is preparing. Wait for news from General Jin at any time..."

After Zu Dashou left, Liao Wenru once again picked up the letter on the desk.
Chapter completed!
