"Bang", Zhu Youxiao threw the military memorials in his hand on the dragon table in front of him. After the memorials had an intimate contact with the table, he flipped over several times and fell to the front of the dragon table. At this time, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the people under his seat and said angrily: "The little Later Jin Dynasty actually wanted to attack my Liaodong with just 60,000 soldiers. It was too disregarded by my Ming Dynasty and too disregarded me."

"The emperor calmed down. It is reported that the Later Jin Dynasty has only attacked Fengjie Fort so far, but it retreated with one blow. According to the military memorials from Xiong Jingluo from Liaodong, General Li Bingcheng of Fengjie Fort of our army, attacked the Later Jin vanguard and killed more than 200 enemies. Zhu Wanliang, the general of Wujing Camp, fled without fighting, and the entire army was wiped out, 800 people were killed, and the remaining 1,200 people fled back to Liaoyang City." Sun Chengzong, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, reported to Zhu Youxiao, who had a dark face.

"Feed without fighting, is this my Ming army? Is this my Ming Dynasty army? I sent me an order to Xiong Tingbi, and Zhu Wanliang escaped at the last moment and was killed immediately." Zhu Youxiao usually hates these people the most, and he wishes he could kill them all. Now these people have escaped at the last moment, and Zhu Youxiao even wants to kill them soon.

"Emperor, Xiong Jingluo reported that he had used the Shangfang sword given by the emperor to kill Zhu Wanliang, and his body had been sent to the capital." Sun Chengzong said immediately after hearing Zhu Youxiao's harsh words.

Zhu Youxiao heard that Xiong Tingbi had already killed Zhu Wanliang, and his expression couldn't help but relax. He said to Sun Chengzong: "Xiong Aiqing did a good job this time. I will not spare any of these generals who are afraid of life and death and escaped in the face of the battle. Just behead them."

At this time, when Sun Chengzong heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he said with some difficulty: "Emperor, but Zhu Wanliang is not an ordinary general. This person is a royal family. Even though Xiong Jingluo has Shangfang's sword, he cannot kill members of the royal family at will. However, the Weishi believes that Xiong Jingluo is an urgent military situation and has no choice."

Zhu Youxiao knew that Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi still had some relationship, but he didn't care whether it was a royal family or not, so he said to Sun Chengzong: "The emperor violated the law and was still guilty of the common people, let alone his royal relative, it should be killed, and it should be killed. I will not blame Xiong Aiqing."

"Emperor, this ancestor's law cannot be abolished, and some rules are still required. If Xiong Jinglei kills the royal relatives like this, the emperor will probably have opinions from all over the country." Sun Chengzong knew that Zhu Youxiao still did not understand these complex interpersonal relationships, so he reminded Zhu Youxiao to pay attention to the princes in various places.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao remembered that the foreign troubles were in full swing now, and he still had to pay attention to appease the princes from all over the country. He lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Sun Chengzong: "Transfer the imperial edict to Xiong Tingbi, who wanted to kill the royal relatives and fined him for half a year."

Then he said: "I will pass on the imperial edict again. Xiong Tingbi guarded Liaodong, worked hard and made great contributions, and gave him a pair of white jade qilin and a hundred taels of silver."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, everyone knew Zhu Youxiao’s partiality.

It is now busy in the Liaodong Governor's Office in Liaoyang. Since Xiong Tingbi decided to move the Liaodong Governor's Office to Liaoyang, he decided to requisition the Liaodong Governor's Office. Now the yamen runners and soldiers in the army are busy carrying some documents and other things.

In the Liaodong Governor's Office, Sun Yuanhua stood straight in front of Xiong Tingbi and shouted loudly: "Mr. Xiong, now it is in urgent need of going to Shenyang. If these cannons are not transported to Shenyang earlier, Chenyang will probably be lost in a few days."

Xiong Tingbi looked at Sun Yuanhua coldly, thinking that he was just a disciple of Xu Guangqi, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He was so arrogant. He thought that the battlefield was a playhouse? You said that the cannon could be transported to Chenyang. Do you think that the Later Jin Dynasty would not be taken away halfway? After all, it was a young man who had never been to the battlefield. It was too ideal. You should know that the Later Jin chief Nurhaci has never been defeated since the rebellion. Even if he did not have to deal with Nurhaci carefully.

He sneered, "Mr. Sun, now we transport the cannons to Chenyang. It seems that it is better to send them directly to the Later Jin military camp. My Ming Dynasty has no ability to ensure that these cannons can be transported to Chenyang safely. If these cannons are seized for the Later Jin Dynasty, will my city in Liaodong still need to defend?"

Sun Yuanhua argued again: "My Ming army in Liaodong has 120,000, and reinforcements from all over the country have arrived, while the Jin Dynasty is only 60,000. Is Lord Xiong so scared?" Seeing that the ordinary method was not good, Sun Yuanhua used the method of provoking.

Unexpectedly, this method was useless to Xiong Tingbi. When Xiong Tingbi heard Sun Yuanhua's aggressive words, his expression did not change, and replied in a conversation: "Mr. Sun, I heard that Master Sun is a disciple of Xu, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, who is proficient in firearms and Western learning. I don't know if it is."

Sun Yuanhua respected Xu Guangqi very much and immediately said seriously: "It was his mentor who was taught by his mentor and knew very well about the muskets and cannons. This was because he came to Liaodong under the order of the emperor."

Xiong Tingbi heard Sun Yuanhua's words and said flatly: "That's good. Lord Sun came to Liaodong for cannons. Firearms are Lord Sun's specialty, but he is not as good as the one who led troops to fight. Moreover, the emperor passed the order, but Lord Sun had to obey everything in Liaodong. Now the task given to Lord Sun is to step up training some artillery shooters, and then prepare to rescue Chenyang at any time. Don't mention the matter of going to Chenyang now." After that, he ignored Sun Yuanhua, brushed his sleeves, turned his head and left.

Sun Yuanhua watched Xiong Tingbi leave and felt indescribable. He had long heard that Xiong Tingbi was a righteous person, but he was just talking quickly and never cared about other people's feelings. Today he had seen it. But thinking about it, what Xiong Tingbi said really makes sense. It seems that as he said, his strength is firearms rather than leading troops to fight.

However, Xiong Tingbi turned around and left Sun Yuanhua, and he was very upset. The situation in Liaodong is really very subtle. The Later Jin Dynasty has been stationed in Sarhu and can attack Chenyang at any time. Among them, the spies of the Later Jin are already densely spread to Liaodong. Now the deployment of Liaodong is probably to be clear in a few days. In this way, it seems that the Later Jin Dynasty will probably attack in these few days.

At this time, a messenger ran to Xiong Tingbi and shouted: "Sir, the entire army of the Later Jin Dynasty was dispatched to siege Chenyang, and now he has lost contact..."

On November 20, the First Year of Taichang, the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci personally led the powerful generals of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty, and overwhelmed more than 100,000 troops from the Later Jin Dynasty. He brought a large number of wooden boards, ladders, chariots, etc., down the Hun River, advanced along the water and land, and headed towards Chenyang.

In order to clear the obstacles to capturing Chenyang City, the Later Jinnu Chief Nurhaci sent the Four Beile Huang Taiji to lead 10,000 troops to attack Hupiyi. At the same time, the Three Beile Mangurtai also sent 10,000 troops to attack Fengjie Fort.

On November 22, Nurhaci led a large group of troops to the city of Chenyang, and sent a small group of troops to carry out raid detectives along the city, waiting for news that the vanguard army attacked Hupiyi and Fengjie Fort.

Liang Zhongshan, the guardian general of the Ming army's Hupi Post, and Li Bingcheng, the guardian general of Fengjie Fort, followed Xiong Tingbi's order, broke through and retreated to Liaoyang after three days of fierce attacks.

Since then, the barriers of Chenyang Hupi Post and Fengjie Fort were lost, the gates of Chenyang were opened, and Nurhaci began to gather troops to prepare to attack Chenyang City.

Although Chenyang City was not as important as Liaoyang for the Ming Dynasty, it was also one of the important towns in Liaodong. It has always been regarded as the "vassal" of Liaoyang. The city of Chenyang is high and deep, and the Ming Dynasty praised it as a "stout city".

In order to protect the city and make it play its role in escorting Liaoyang, it was reinforced a few years ago. Digging deep trenches outside the city and erecting large wood as fences. In the area close to the city wall, two trenches were dug, each five zhang wide and two zhang deep, and light wooden stakes were buried at the bottom of the trenches. On the inside of the trenches, that is, one close to the city wall, and a horse wall was built, leaving gun holes, chariots and guns. Outside the trenches, digging, traps were set up, and light wooden stakes were inserted at the bottom of the well, and sorrow straw was laid on it to cover the soil. This complex set of fortifications outside the city was specially used to deal with the Later Jin cavalry, and could prevent infantry and their siege equipment from approaching the city. If you don’t understand the situation, you will definitely suffer a loss.

Nurhaci received the war report that the Husie Post and Fengjie Fort had been taken down, on the morning of November 25, he commanded the Eight Banners troops to enter the outskirts of Chenyang.

From the detective, Nurhaci learned that Chenyang was very strict in defense, so he did not act rashly and ordered the army to station in Wangjiawan, seven miles east of the city, and build a large number of wooden boards into a camp.

Nurhaci rode on a tall and strong white horse, pointed at Chenyang City in his hand, and said to the generals around him: "The moat in Chenyang is deep and high. According to the Ma Lai, there are already 60,000 troops in this city. Although our army has 100,000 troops, if we attack like this, at least tens of thousands of troops will be reduced. I have a small population of Jin. Now, the 100,000 people are used to use the national power, and we cannot attack the Ming army's city at all. We have previously attacked the Tiger Pie Post and Fengjie Fort, and we have 4,000 troops. Now, what should we do?"

At this time, the Three Beile Mangurtai stepped forward and said, "Our Later Jin soldiers have more than 100,000. With the reputation of the father and the courage of the Eight Banners, are you still afraid of not breaking the small Chenyang City? Why not let me take the vanguard, and I will be the first to rush up to the Ming army's wall."

Nurhaci couldn't help frowning and said in his heart that he was more ferocious and lacked wisdom. He smiled and said, "Your courage is the number one person in the Great Jin Dynasty. If I strongly attack Chenyang City, there would be no problem. However, my Great Jin Dynasty's goal is the entire Liaodong. If I have lost too many troops in Chenyang, how can I get Liaoyang? Let's go back and read more military books, and I only know how to kill each time."

Mangourtai laughed and said, "I wasn't just reckless and rushing around and killing randomly. In that battle, I, Mangourtai, was not the one who killed the most enemies."

At this time, Fan Wencheng said, "The three Beile are brave and invincible. This is what everyone knows about our great Jin people. However, the so-called superiors attack and attack the city as the best. Since ancient times, there have been several wonderful methods to solve the problem of the strong city. One is to communicate with the inner world, and the other is to lure the enemy. Our army can send the surrendered general of the Ming army Li Yongfang to persuade the Ming army to surrender. Induce the enemy and our army, it can show that the enemy is weak and lure the Ming army out of the city to fight in the field. When it comes to field battles, there is anyone in the world who can fight the Eight Banners of the Great Jin."

When Nurhaci heard this, he secretly agreed with his wishes and said happily: "Mr. Fan is resourceful, and today's plan is very good."
