Chapter 384
After all the Jianlu troops had withdrawn, the Ming army in Pyongyang was sent out at night, following the Jianlu troops vigilantly and carefully, to ensure that the Jianlu troops really had to withdraw.

Building the Chinese army, Huang Taiji couldn't help feeling a little bit more hopeful when he heard the report from Tanma, don't Lu Xiangsheng is really eager to save the savior, and he still wants to attract the attention of his main infantry?
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered that the whole army rush to Liaodong at a faster speed.

First, it was really necessary to do this. Huang Taiji wished he could fly to Liaodong and intercept the Ming Emperor to fight with him!
The second is that if you do this, it may attract Lu Xiangsheng to catch up in a hurry.If this is the case, Huang Taiji doesn't mind sending some troops to suddenly kill a carbine and wipe out Lu Xiangsheng's Ming army. This is the most ideal situation!
Huang Taiji didn't know that when the Ming army reported the situation to Governor Baoding at night, Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered: "Abandon Pyongyang City, move all to the seaside, and land on the island as soon as possible to be safe!"

Hearing this order, Li Laiheng was a little puzzled, and quickly asked: "My lord, Jianlu has gone to reinforce Liaodong, why do we have to abandon Pyongyang?"

Lin Qingye, who was injured in the battle of defending the city, also had an arm hanging, and said reluctantly: "My lord, now that we have won the battle, why do we have to abandon Pyongyang? If this is the case, my king How do you explain it over there?"

Lu Xiangsheng saw that many of them were a little puzzled, so he explained to them: "The emperor only has about 5 troops, which are the three major battalions under the Yuma Supervisor. With such a small number of troops, if we want to fight the main force of the Jianlu, the strength of the troops will be huge. It is still a little weaker. Therefore, I guess that the emperor's plan is to use thunder to severely hit the Jianlu in Liaodong and make a gesture of recovering Liaodong, thus scaring the Jianlu to ask for help from the leader of the Jianlu in North Korea. . In this way, we can support our side..."

Hearing his words, everyone, including Li Laiheng, couldn't help thinking deeply.And Lu Xiangsheng continued to explain: "With the emperor's brilliance and martial arts, he will inevitably withdraw his troops before the main force of Jianlu returns to aid Liaodong, and let Jianlu go to nothing. You have also seen that the cavalry of Jianlu go first, and then the infantry." Army. The time here is not easy to grasp."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiangsheng's face turned serious and said: "If the main force of the Jianlu infantry has not gone far, and the messenger from Liaodong comes to deliver new news that the emperor has withdrawn, then the main force of the Jianlu infantry will definitely return. , at least the infantry will return to continue to attack the city. If it is not for the prestige of Jianlu, Pyongyang will be an isolated city in the future and will definitely be captured by Jianlu. Instead of this, it is better for us to withdraw now and give Pyongyang to Jianlu. Our army has two thousand cavalry, and we have the convenience of a navy, so choosing to attack the weaker captives is the best strategy!"

Seeing that Li Laiheng and others were all suddenly enlightened, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at Lin Qingye and said, "I will write a letter in hand and send it to your lord, explaining the need to abandon Pyongyang. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Daming If you keep guarding Pyongyang, you can see for yourself."

For the sake of North Korea, the Ming army had already fought the Jianlu army head-on once, and then defeated Jianlu's siege under the siege of Jianlu's main force.In any case, the Ming army has done its best.

Lu Xiangsheng is definitely not a pedantic person. He will coordinate and rescue North Korea, but this does not mean that he will use the Ming army as a thug for North Korea, which will eventually lead to the annihilation of the entire army. This kind of thing is impossible for him to do.

Lin Qingye also listened to Lu Xiangsheng's explanation just now, and of course he understood the necessity of withdrawing from Pyongyang City.On the king's side, if there is a handwritten letter from the Governor of Baoding in Ming Dynasty, then I believe there will be no problem.At least after the battle in Pyongyang, the crisis in Seoul has been resolved.Jianlu was going to fight Seoul again, but the Ming army didn't say no more to rescue them.

So, the matter was settled.

After a day's rest, all the wounded were transported away by ten warships of the navy.Other troops marched along the Datong River to the sea.On the way, when Zheng Zhilong led the navy back, he took everyone to the islands along the way.

When Lu Xiangsheng arrived at Phi Island, Emperor Chongzhen asked Guan Ning to send a fast boat along the coastline to report the messenger, who also just arrived at Phi Island.

After reading the emperor's will, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help laughing.The emperor is really wise and martial, playing Jianlu all over the place, it's really amazing!In the future, when the Ming army can surpass the Jianlu army in terms of combat power, it will definitely be the time to recover Liaodong.

So, he also immediately wrote a memorial and sent a clipper to the capital immediately.

Besides, on Jianlu's side, Duoduo led the cavalry and rushed back to Liaodong as fast as possible.Along the way, it was really day and night, without sleep.Therefore, his speed was very fast, and within a few days, he crossed the Yalu River, and then rushed to Zhenjiang Fort to rest first.

When his cavalry army of about 1 people entered Zhenjiang Fort, they were all crooked, and almost fell asleep on horseback.Even with one person and two riders, the war horses are exhausted enough.If one fails, it is estimated that the weaker one will not be able to recover, and it is estimated that hundreds of horses will be lost.

The Jianlu cavalry army went to rest. Although Doduo's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of exhaustion, he still insisted on asking the guard of Zhenjiang Fort about the situation of the Liaodong Army.

Did the Ming army take down the Qing city, is it active there now, is there any change in the strength of the Ming army, etc. A series of questions were asked immediately.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort had a strange look on his face, but under Duoduo's stare, he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately replied: "Gaizhou, Haizhou, Ximu City, and Anshan Post Castle are all in a hurry. After that, there was no more news. The last general is a bit far away, and the Ming army has not come over, so I don't know the specific battle situation."

Seeing Duduo's face was very ugly, he quickly added: "However, there are various rumors, and the general thinks it may not be true, and I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"Say!" Upon hearing this, Duoduo shouted sharply.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort was allowed to tell all the rumors he had heard.

"There are rumors that the imperial forest army led by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty used hundreds of red barbarian cannons to blow down the Anshan Post Fort, and is now marching towards Liaoyang."

When Duoduo heard this rumor, he couldn't help feeling anxious.Liaoyang was exposed to the front of the Ming army, and Shengjing would be in danger.But these were rumors, and he remained calm.

"There are rumors that the Ming army captured Haizhou and Gaizhou, and the Ming navy was reinforcing it at sea. Now the Ming army in Liaodong has reached [-] people!"

Doduo was shocked again when he heard the rumor.It has to be said that this rumor is much more reliable than saying that the army is going to attack Liaoyang.Because the Ming army had only about 5 horses before, if Gaizhou was captured, with the support of the Ming navy, it would be a good move for the Ming army to advance, attack and retreat.

"There are also rumors that the Ming army actually just sent cavalry. It was just a bluff. It sounds scary!"

After hearing this, Duoduo couldn't help being taken aback.He thought in his heart, is there such a possibility?It is clearly said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty led the conquest by himself and led 5 horses. This point is what Dorgon said, so there will be no problem. This rumor should not be possible.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort said with a wry smile: "As for the other rumors, don't take them seriously. It is said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty set up a ring and selected 5 horses from the million troops of the Ming Kingdom. They are all Batulu who counts one as a hundred, so the emperor of the Ming Dynasty led 5 horses and went to Shengjing..."

Duduo's face turned a little dark when he heard this, this was definitely impossible.

"There are even rumors that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the true son of the dragon, who can pinch and count. Just when the main force of the Qing Dynasty left Liaodong, he led the troops to fight over. It is said that Shengjing has been attacked by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Got it..."

The more Duduo heard it, the more he felt unreliable, so he yelled loudly and interrupted the guard of Zhenjiang Fort: "Enough, none of the news is useful. Now the emperor leads the main force and is about to return to Liaodong. A piece of definite news, do you still want your head?"

The face of the guard of Zhenjiang Fort turned pale in an instant, and he quickly argued: "The last general is guarding Zhenjiang Fort to ensure the safety of the North Korean army's retreat, and it is too far away from Haizhou..."

"Enough!" Duduo interrupted his defense once again, "I don't want to hear it. You'd better give me a definite message before the cavalry set off tomorrow morning!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the guard of Zhenjiang Fort, he had to go to rest.After all, his body is not made of iron, and he can't hold on to the rapid march day and night.

Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east.Duduo, who was tired all day, was immediately pleasantly surprised.He was concerned about the Liaodong War, so he immediately sent an order to summon the guard of Zhenjiang Fort for news.

At this moment, there was thunderous sound of horseshoes outside Zhenjiang Fort.He went out to see that Hauge had arrived with the second batch of cavalry.

"How is it? Where is the Ming army? How is the battle in Liaodong?" Hauge asked quickly when he saw Doduo with a tired face.

Although he and Brother Doduo didn't deal with each other, if they met each other usually, they would not talk if they could not speak, or call him uncle, Hauge was reluctant anyway.But now that it's about the safety of his old nest, he can't take care of it. He just asks questions as soon as they meet.

But the point is, Duduo didn't know either, he didn't bother to talk to Hauge, and immediately urged the guard of Zhenjiang Fort, and asked sharply in front of Hauge, "Have you investigated the situation clearly?"

"It seems that there is no news about your Highness." The guard of Zhenjiang Fort said bravely, and then saw Duoduo's unswerving expression, and quickly explained: "There is no more eight hundred miles from all over the country to rush into the court. Otherwise, after passing through Zhenjiang Fort, the last general must know about it. This shows that at least the situation will not get worse, otherwise, there must be [-] miles to rush!"

Hearing this, I have to say that it makes sense.

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort quickly continued: "Although the last general sent scouts far away to find out the news, no matter whether it is in the direction of Shengjing, Haizhou, or other directions, there is no news at all. Although It may not be far enough, but this can explain a little bit of the problem. Maybe, the last general guessed, it was really the cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty who came to the Qing Dynasty to show off their power, frightened people into panic, and then ran away! "

Hearing this, whether it was Duduo or Hauge, their complexions suddenly became ugly.If this is the case, I don't know if the emperor will vomit blood again!

Well, originally Pyongyang City would definitely be defeated, and the Dongjiang Army of the Ming Dynasty could be destroyed according to the predetermined goal.As a result, four eight hundred miles were rushed, and the messengers sent by the cities urged the main force of the Qing Dynasty to return to Liaodong immediately, giving up the capture of Pyongyang City, and all the efforts of North Korea's layout were in vain.

It was also difficult for Doduo himself to accept it, not to mention his exhaustion day and night, it was considered a trivial matter.If there was no Ming emperor in the hinterland of Liaodong, his trip would be considered a waste of time.When the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not arrested and the crime was discussed back, it would be difficult for Dorgon to speak.

Hauge also finds it hard to accept, but his reasons are different from Duduo's.He felt that it would be too embarrassing for Daqing to be played around by Minggou, running around, and causing his father to vomit a mouthful of blood because of the strength of Daqing, right?

Therefore, Duduo and Hauge subconsciously refused to accept the guess of the guard of Zhenjiang Fort.As soon as the two of them made up their minds, Duoduo set off immediately to visit Haizhou first.After Hauge rested, he went back to Shengjing first.

The rumbling sound of Jianlu's cavalry sounded again from the side of Zhenjiang Fort, and then went away, and the dust that was raised was really wave after wave, dyeing Zhenjiang Fort so gray that it was very ugly.

In the evening, Duoduo had driven nearly 150 miles, and both the man and the horse were very tired.

Even so, Duoduo felt more and more uncomfortable.Because he rushed all the way here, but he didn't see the slightest trace of the Ming army fighting in Liaodong.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really wanted to lead an army to attack the towns in the hinterland of Liaodong.To be honest, Liaodong is actually only this big, and there will be signs to see it.However, there was no sign of war at all.

"Master, are you still traveling all night?" Duoduo's personal guard saw that he was in a daze and asked him for instructions.

Duoduo heard this, and when he was about to speak, suddenly there was movement in front of him, and a courier was led by the army, not an urgent courier from eight hundred li.

Seeing Duoduo, he reported to him: "Has the Ming army retreated?"

"What?" When Duduo heard this, it was even more difficult for him to accept that the Ming army was attacking Liaoyang.Because the last thing he wanted to hear was this.

The messenger thought he didn't believe it, so he quickly explained: "The villain is from Ximu City. In the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry army lost its head and went outside the city. Unexpectedly, the infantry did not arrive, and the cavalry suddenly withdrew. The horses searched for news until Haizhou City, and confirmed the news, saying that they only saw the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and did not see the infantry. The Ming Cavalry Army has just withdrawn. Haizhou is also checking the situation."

After finishing speaking, the messenger looked at Dodo carefully.
