"Lord, a spy came to report that the Songshan garrison General Shi Dayong led two thousand elite troops to rescue Dalinghe City." When Li Xin returned to the camp, he saw Shi Yuan walking in.

"I know." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Is there any news about Jinzhou recently? These two thousand people are not enough for Jiannu to eat? If Jinzhou does not send a large group of people to come, Dalinghe City may not be able to hold on."

"Dalinghe City can no longer hold on." Shi Yuanzhi lowered his head and sighed: "If you guessed correctly, Dalinghe City is already killing horses to satisfy your hunger at this time. As for Jinzhou City, hehe, I heard that Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia are still plaguing whether to send troops or not?"

"Didn't you say that Qiu Hejia has agreed to send troops?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"The food route is insufficient." Shi Yuanzhi shook his head and said, "Qiu Hejia found that there was insufficient food and grass in Jinzhou City, which was not enough to support the continuous battle of tens of thousands of troops. Hehe, it's funny to say, lord knows why there was insufficient food and grass in Jinzhou City?"

"Jinzhou City is an important area on the border of the court, easy to defend but difficult to attack. According to principles, the food and grass there should be sufficient! How could there be insufficient food and grass?" Li Xin also said curiously.

"It's really interesting to say that. Zu Dashou was killed by his son this time." Shi Yuanzhi laughed and said, "Because he was going to send a large army to rescue Dalinghe City, Qiu Hejia also had to prepare. Later, when he went to the granary, he found that the food was nearly half less, so where could he support a big battle? He personally interrogated some people in the warehouse and found that the food in it was almost emptied by the brothers Zu Zerun and Zu Zehong."

"Empty?" Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, and finally laughed and said, "Now, Liaodong has reached a situation where there is no available soldiers or food. I don't know what kind of thoughts he would have if Zu Dashou knew about this. Tens of thousands of troops gathered in Jinzhou and reached the point where there is no food. This kind of court is really interesting."

"The lord said very well, so Qiu Hejia had no choice but to write to Emperor Chongzhen to ask for help." Shi Yuan nodded and said, "However, life in this court is probably not easy. Recently, his subordinates heard that the Central Plains had a severe drought, and the food was insufficient. In order to support a Liaodong, most of the power of the court has been exhausted. Now that such a thing has happened, I really don't know if this war can continue and whether Dalinghe City still has a chance to be saved. Although Zu Dashou is not very good, he is still a famous general at least, but he ends up like this in the end. It's really a long time to exclaim!"

"Zu Dashou is not a good thing. His Zu family is surrounded by passes through the pass, with countless land and other things. In this case, he still wants to covet the imperial court's military rations. No matter how capable such a general is, it is just like this." Li Xin shook his head and said, "To be honest, I still admire Shi Dayong very much. Even though he knew that the two thousand elite soldiers he led went to Dalinghe City to die, he came, and he came with great fanfare. Such a general is Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia's general. I really don't know what to say."

"Does your lord want to save him?" Shi Yuanzhi asked nervously.

"What if you save such a foolish and loyal person?" Li Xin said without thinking: "I am not a good person, so after saving such a foolish and loyal person, he will not be grateful to us. However, I am very interested in his soldiers. There is another thing, that is, who will Jiannu send to deal with him."

"Of course it's Haoge." Shi Yuanzhi said without thinking: "Wang Taiji would not take him seriously in his team of two thousand people at all. He let his son go there. On the one hand, he annihilated reinforcements, and on the other hand, he also made his son a contribution. The best of both worlds, Huang Taiji would not do anything like this."

"Maybe it's not this person." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "You know, in Jiannu, this system of eldest son inheritance has not been established yet, and some of them are unwilling to increase their prestige to Haoge out of thin air."

"Lord, a team of people rushed out of Jiannu's camp, heading to Jinzhou." At this time, a spy reported: "This group of people was wearing white armor, and the person in charge was Jiannu's fourteen Beile Dorgon."

"Look, it turns out that it's not Haoge who went there, but Dorgon." Li Xin said with a smile: "I'm afraid this time, we will face Dorgon again."

"Do you know where Haoge is?" Shi Yuanzhi asked nervously again.

"Haoge led the three thousand Zhenglan Banner cavalry out of the back camp and headed north, with generals Oboi, Sony and others following him." The spy did not dare to neglect and reported quickly.

"What did he want to do after going to the north?" Shi Yuanzhi asked curiously.

"Haoge is going to deal with me." Li Xin laughed and said, "It seems that Dorgon must have used some trick to ask Haoge to take the initiative to find me in the north, and prepare to use my head to increase his prestige, so Dorgon took advantage of it and deal with Shi Dayong and the others."

"Who makes the lord feel that it is difficult to deal with? If Haoge wants to improve his prestige, he naturally has to make a decision on his lord." Yang Xiong also came up and said with a smile: "I think Dorgon was defeated by the lord. If Haoge took the opportunity to defeat the lord or even capture the lord, wouldn't Haoge's prestige surpass Dorgon? This Haoge has a good plan."

"Hmph, one day, Haoge's head will be cut off." Gao Meng said viciously, but it caused everyone to laugh.

"By the way. Have you all the brothers rested?" Li Xin asked Yang Xiong.

"I walked with my lord in the morning, but I didn't have the energy to do it. I just burned a fire. There was no need to rest." Yang Xiong said proudly.

"Well, we are going to meet Dorgon for a while this time. Dorgon is not as easy to deal with this time as before." Li Xin said with a serious expression: "This Dorgon has been suppressed by Huang Taiji in recent years. He has little care about the affairs in the court, so he is dedicated to training troops. His power of Zhengbai Banner is not at all under the Zhenghuang Banner. It is better to be careful when dealing with Dorgon."

"Don't worry, lord, although Dorgon and his Zhengbai Banner are powerful, one thing is not as good as lord, that is, he doesn't know where lord is, he is in the open, and lord is in the dark. As long as lord can kill him, he will be caught off guard, Dorgon will naturally be defeated." Shi Yuanzhi said without thinking.

"Okay, I'll give you a good word. Now I'm going to meet Dorgon for a while and see what kind of skills this guy has, and he can escape the disaster." Li Xin laughed loudly, took the Fang Tian's painting halberd, flew onto a horse, and followed him, Yang Xiong, Ju Tu and others, followed closely, and the five hundred cavalry were in an orderly manner and they suddenly left the canyon.

"Mr. Shi, what do you think your lord wants to do these days?" After Li Xin left, Jiang Yi walked over. As long as Li Xin was away, he would be in charge of the camp and train soldiers. At this time, he finally couldn't help it and asked, "If the lord wants to fight for dominance in the world, he can go back to the Central Plains at this time. With our strength, it is very simple to recruit soldiers and horses in the Central Plains. Why do you need to be here?"

"Return to the Central Plains?" Shi Yuanzhi was stunned when he heard this, and finally touched his beard and said, "General Jiang, it would be good if the lord returns to the Central Plains, because the Central Plains has been in chaos recently, and refugees are everywhere. It is very easy for the lord to recruit soldiers and horses. As long as he has money and food, is he still afraid of insufficient military resources? But does the general know what the situation in the world is now?"

"Clashes are everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty is swaying." Jiang Yi said without thinking: "That's why I follow the lord."

"Then who do you think can win the world?" Shi Yuanzhi asked again: "Is it the Ming Dynasty who made trouble, or is it a group of the rebels who finally seized the world, or is it someone else?"

"Who can know this big thing in the world?" Jiang Yi thought for a moment, and finally shook his head. He was really hard to say about such a thing.

"But my lord guessed it." Shi Yuanzhi also frowned and said, "I have thought about this issue these days. It seems that my lord attaches great importance to Jiannu. Every time I talk about major events in the world, my lord is disdainful of the rebel army in the Central Plains and the court, but I am very careful about Jiannu. So I think the reason why the lord stayed in Liaodong at this moment was probably because the rebel army was at a low point in the Central Plains. The lord had no righteousness and had no absolute strength to deal with the court. So when he returned to the Central Plains, he was at a disadvantage. On the one hand, he stayed in Liaodong to accumulate strength. On the other hand, he was also weakened the strength of Jiannu. There were few Jiannu people, and one died. This time, the lord burned nearly a thousand people to death, which was probably enough to make Huang Taiji a pity."

"According to the lord's speculation, does the lord believe that Jiannu can win the world?" Jiang Yi obviously did not believe that Jiannu had the strength to win the world. I think so, the Jiannu population was only a few hundred thousand, and even if the whole people were soldiers, there were only hundreds of thousands of people. But how many people were in the Central Plains? In Jiang Yi's opinion, Jiannu might be able to win the world for a while, but it would definitely not be able to win the world. After the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people in the Central Plains were very disgusted with other ethnic groups, making foreign races superior to the Han ethnic groups. Even if the Ming Dynasty was finally destroyed, it would probably not be the turn of Jiannu to take charge of the world.

"You and I don't know whether it is true or not, but who is in the end is still unknown to the world." Shi Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Maybe it was not the rebel army in the Central Plains, nor the Emperor Chongzhen to make trouble, nor the Jiannu, but the lord?"

"Of course it's the best. If I don't do it well, Jiang Yi can still make a founding hero Dangdang." Jiang Yi laughed out loud.

A mountain of hills, the official road from Jinzhou to Daling River in the distance, but at this moment, the pits dug on the official road were bumpy and there was no place to stand. Several round trenches appeared on the official road, forming one small island after another. On the island, there were dozens of artillery mounted on it, covered with red all over it, which was a famous red-clothed cannon in the late Ming Dynasty. There were many black shells visible on the ground with naked eyes.

"It's the red cannon!" Yang Xiong said in surprise: "Jiannu has really invested in it. He put so many red cannons here and blocked the official road."

"There are so many people, hehe, it's really interesting. Do you have to be so popular with soldiers of two thousand people?" Ju Tu said dissatisfied.

"These people are just guarding cannons." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Dorgon would not use this method to deal with reinforcements. Dorgon is not so stupid as to win with cannons. He wants to obtain military achievements. Will such a proud and arrogant person use cannons to obtain them? All Jiannu will laugh at him."

"Hehe, if I were me, I would do it." Yang Xiong's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "As long as you can win, what does it matter what means do you use?"

"So you can only be a general, but the other party wants an emperor." Li Xin touched the dark clouds and snow. The dark clouds and snow shook his head, as if it was very comfortable and sneeze.

"Isn't Emperor Jiannu Huang Taiji? After his death, the position of emperor must be given to his son. How could it be Dorgon's turn?" Yang Xiong said in disbelief.

"Jiannu just created a country, and the system was not strict, similar to the barbarians. After his brother died, his younger brother could ascend the throne. What's more, the throne itself belonged to Dorgon, but was only stolen by Huang Taiji." Li Xin pointed to the distance and said, "Look, Dorgon has arrived."

Everyone looked at it and saw a team of white soldiers and horses quickly sank into the army in the distance. This was Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner, and he had arrived at the battlefield at this moment.

"Is Dorgon really ready to use cavalry to attack the reinforcements of the court?" Gao Meng said in surprise.

"If this is not the case, how can he show his majesty?" Li Xin said disdainfully. In his opinion, showing his majesty is of course important, but more importantly, the lives of soldiers. These red-clothed cannons were also placed there. It is better to use red-clothed cannons to solve these reinforcements. Although the red-clothed cannons at this time were not as powerful as those of later generations, they were also extraordinary.

"Yes! If these cannons are fired, then the scene will be tsk." Yang Xiong's eyes showed a trace of longing. Not to mention him, the same would be true for others to see.

"This kind of red-clothed cannon is of course very powerful, but it also has its shortcomings." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Its loading time is very long. If the cavalry attack, it will disperse the distance between them, so that the cannon's attack range can be narrowed and the impact will be minimized. Even if one shot is still not enough to kill a person." At this time, the cannons were not as powerful as those of later generations. As long as they dodge properly, they can still reduce the danger to the extreme.

"Master, what should we do now?" Ju Tu asked nervously.
