Chapter 515 Forbearance (3)
In Dorgon's military camp, a box about a foot square was placed in the middle, and the box contained Yue Le's head. The head had been smashed to pieces, but only a pair of godless eyes were staring at him, showing Yue Le's anger and unwillingness before his death.
"Bang..."
Yue Le is the fourth son of Abatai and the brother of Boluo. The two of them were full of grudges. Suddenly, they pulled out their waist knife and roared: "If you don't kill Lin Chunhong, you won't be a human being!"
After roaring, the two of them were about to rush out of the military camp and headed their troops south like furious lions and tigers.
Yuetuo, Dudu, Haoge and others were also extremely angry, but at least they did not lose their minds. They all jumped forward and hugged the two of them, preventing them from going out.
Abatai and Boluo flew into the air, kicked and beat him constantly, shouting: "Let me go and let me fight Lin Chunhong to the death!"
While struggling, Yuetuo was kicked in the middle of the crotch, screaming in pain, his face muscles twisted, bent down to support his crotch, and leaned to the side.
The scene was extremely chaotic, and Dorgon's face became increasingly ugly.
"Enough!"
Dorgon suddenly shouted, and the generals' ears buzzed, and he was stunned.
Abatai and Boluo were also awakened by the shouts and said in a crying voice: "Fourth Brother (Fourth Uncle)..."
Dorgon glared at the two of them and scolded: "You two are uncomfortable? You two are angry? Lin Chunhong has 60,000 or 70,000 troops. If you do this, you will kill the entire army! All the tribe members will be destroyed by you, can you bear it?"
Abatai and Boluo were deeply saddened and were about to apologize, but were interrupted by Dorgon.
Dorgon said without any doubt: "This revenge must be avenged. The entire army is ready to go south to Linqing and prepare to fight Lin Chunhong!"
As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, Yue Tuo, Haoge, Du Du and others were all shocked and advised: "I raise an army because of anger. I am the way to defeat me. Please think deeply!"
Dorgon waved his hand and said firmly: "I have decided, so there is no need to discuss it!"
After saying that, he left the military tent with his sleeves, leaving behind a group of generals looking at each other.
Yue Tuo was furious and glared at Boro fiercely, saying, "I've suffered a defeat and still have the face to make trouble here! Are you satisfied now?"
Yue Tuo no longer paid attention to Boluo, who was full of shame, and even Abatai, who was dumbfounded, left the military tent without looking back.
...
Dorgon's attitude made a 180-degree turn, from the idea of retreating to the death battle with Lin Chunhong. The contrast between the front and back was so huge that Yue Tuo and Du Du were puzzled. After thinking about it, they felt that Dorgon was mostly about to calm the morale of the army and then took the initiative to move south. However, the two were not sure and joined Dorgon to find out.
When Yuetuo and Du Du explained their purpose, Dorgon took out a battle report and handed it to Yuetuo, saying, "There are more than 5,000 elite cavalrymen who have been lost in the front and back, and the situation forces us to fight!"
"Five thousand elite riders?"
Yue Tuo and Du Du thought Dorgon had said the wrong number and were puzzled. However, when they read the battle report, their faces suddenly became gloomy: Samushka and Chaohar were defeated on the Liaodong Peninsula and lost more than 3,000 elite cavalry!
It’s Lin Chunhong again!
Yue Tuo and Du Du's faces became quite ugly. They finally understood why Dorgon decided to fight Lin Chunhong.
Yue Tuo calmed down and thought for a moment, and said, "Lin Chunhong is really a strong enemy, much more difficult than the Ming court. We have been defeated by him many times, and have lost our troops and generals. If we do not hit his arrogance hard, this tone is indeed difficult to swallow. Moreover, if we do not take the opportunity to retaliate this time, in the long run, our Qing army will no longer have the courage to fight when we meet the Jingzhou army, which is the most fearful. Uncle Fourteen, I do not object to a battle with Lin Chunhong, but how can we find a fighter opportunity to ensure that we can win?"
Du Du also said: "Lin Chunhong's army of 60,000 to 70,000 is tightly squashed into a group, and it is really hard to find a fighter jet."
Dorgon said with gaze: "If you don't have fighter jets, you can create fighter jets!"
After saying that, Dorgon asked someone to put on the map and pointed to the canal and said, "Lin Chunhong's situation is not much better than us. Look at Dezhou. The Ming court gathered tens of thousands of people in Dezhou. It is better to monitor Lin Chunhong's army than to prevent us from breaking through the city and entering Shandong! When we met the Ming army, we would fight if we said we would fight, without any ambiguity. Lin Chunhong wanted to be a bitch and set up a archway, and hesitantly did not dare to fight easily. As long as the Ming army blocked the way, there would be no way."
"This..." Yue Tuo and Du Du never thought of this, and were stunned for a moment, unable to speak.
Finally, Yue Tuo was filled with emotion and said, "The Southern Barbarians are really strange. They are addicted to fighting in the nest." After saying that, Yue Tuo felt a little better. At least, in terms of human harmony, Lin Chunhong was not superior.
Dorgon continued: "In the past few days, I have been thinking about Lin Chunhong's army deployment and found that his army never leaves the canal for more than one hundred miles. It is not difficult to guess the reason: Lin Chunhong's food and grass need to rely on the canal for transportation, and he does not have enough manpower to transport food and grass."
Yue Tuo and Du Du turned around and thought that this was true. They nodded like pounding garlic and said, "Uncle Fourteen is right."
"In addition, Lin Chunhong tightly crunched in Liaocheng and did not go to fight, so we could not find any chance. Therefore, to create a fighter, we just need to lead Lin Chunhong to leave the majority of the body and leave the canal!"
Du Du said, "That is, if Lin Chunhong's unit can be successfully made a lonely army, it will be not difficult to win. However, from the past few days, Lin Chunhong's unit has arrived at Guan County as far as the distance. Moreover, once we retreat, he will immediately retreat and be extremely cunning. How could he be fooled?"
Dorgon snorted and said, "In my opinion, Lin Chunhong did not avoid war, but used war as a bargaining chip to threaten the Ming court to meet his conditions. If Lin Chunhong really avoided war, what would be the explanation for the more than 5,000 elite cavalry we lost?"
Yue Tuo said: "The fourteenth uncle means that if the Ming court does not grant Lin Chunhong the title, he will not have passed Guan County, Lin Qing?"
"Indeed." Dorgon sneered several times, and then said, "Since Lin Chunhong wants to be awarded a title, then we might as well do him a favor and let his soldiers move first. As long as he moves, we will have a chance!"
"How to help him win title?"
Dorgon pointed to Yanzhou and Jinan and said, "The troops here are empty, which can help Lin Chunhong with one arm!"
Yue Tuo and Du Du were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed: "As long as they were planned, the two sides echo each other, can they really make a mistake?"
...
Linqing was located by the canal, with merchants gathering. It was one of the necessary roads to travel south and north. It was known as the prosperity of the two capitals and the prosperity of Jiaqi County. On the 20th day of the first 11th year of Chongzhen, Dorgon led a large army to suddenly go south, burning, killing, and looting in Linqing, Qinghe, Weixian and other places, causing another wave of refugees in Shandong and other places, fleeing to Liaocheng and other places, waiting for Lin Chunhong to receive it.
Dorgon passed Dezhou without attacking, but instead advanced to Linqing, which was only a hundred miles away from Liaocheng. The news reached Dezhou. The head of Zhang Gongwei, the tens of thousands of soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. While breathing a sigh of relief, the soldiers even had time to discuss whether Lin Chunhong was still in control or a battle.
This has nothing to do with the officers and soldiers of Texas. They care about this matter with the mentality of watching the excitement.
However, King De, who was granted the title of Jinan, was in no good mood. Jinan was only more than 200 miles away from Linqing. After Dorgon's army arrived in Linqing, he could cross the canal at any time. At most two days, the cavalry could shoot arrows to Jinan City. How can we not make King De be frightened?
King De was very anxious and asked Zhang Gongwei of Dezhou for help as if he was crazy. He also urgently submitted a report to the court, scolding Lin Chunhong for not moving his troops, hoping that the court would immediately send heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Tartars. Although Lin Chunhong had the strongest troops and was closest to Jinan, King De still couldn't ignore his affection and did not ask Lin Chunhong for help.
However, what relieved King De was that after Dorgon led the army southward, he did not cross the canal. In addition to looting wealth and people everywhere, he also advanced to Daiwan, Lin Qing. What made King De even more overjoyed was that Lin Chunhong ordered Tian Chuyun to lead Xiongwei and Shenji to advance to Weiwan, which was only ten miles away from Dorgon's outpost. He stared at each other every day and confronted each other.
After two days like this, Lin Chunhong suddenly received another report. Dorgon ordered Haoge to lead more than 7,000 troops to go around to the west of Tian Chuyun's army, and it was very likely to cut off Tian Chuyun's army from Liaocheng.
Dorgon's combination of punches made the senior leaders of the Jingzhou Army confused, and he could not guess what Dorgon intended.
Looking at Tian Chuyun, Zhou Wang and Lu Shiming were frowning, Lin Chunhong smiled lightly and said, "One is certain that Dorgon has no intention of a decisive battle with our army. As long as he understands this, there is nothing to worry about. As the saying goes, the generals come to block the water and the soil, and Haoge is coming, so that the cavalry army and the Longwu army can block it."
Lin Chunhong's words obviously made the three of them feel a little relieved. Tian Chuyun asked: "The governor is not worried at all. Do you already know Dorgon's plan?"
Lin Chunhong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not sure yet. I guess Dorgon is most likely to be trying to trick things and cover the army across the canal. However, there are no obvious signs to prove this now."
"Crossing the canal? Dorgon suffered such a great loss, but he didn't want to take revenge. He also had to cross the canal to harm Shandong. What is the reason for this?"
Zhou Wangdaqi asked.
Lin Chunhong sighed and said, "Who can understand the thoughts of the Tartars? For example, if a brother dies, he can marry his sister-in-law, and a cousin can marry him. The Tartars take it for granted, and we Han people cannot accept it."
After a few words, Zhou Wang, Lu Shiming and Tian Chuyun laughed and said, "That's true. Who knows what is in the head of the dog Tartar?"
As the four were talking, they suddenly received an emergency report: Yue Tuo led Du Du, Haoge, Duoduo and other troops to build more than 20 floating bridges on the canal. In just two hours, the army crossed the canal and rushed towards Jinan.
Lin Chunhong was no longer as relaxed as before, and his face suddenly became ugly. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Can you save it?"
Zhou Wang, Lu Shiming and Tian Chuyun's faces were also very ugly.
All four knew that Dorgon's move was tantamount to claiming that the Jingzhou Army's early strategic deployment failed at least half. Not only did it not introduce all the Tartars' forces into the ground, but it would also inevitably spend more energy to cut off the connection between the two Tartars.
Now, Yue Tuo openly attacks Jinan. If he sends troops to rescue him, it is equivalent to directly giving up the early strategic deployment. All the previous efforts have been gone. If he does not send troops to rescue him, the Jingzhou army will face great pressure.
