Chapter 575
Mao Zhongming has been criticized behind his back.
The reason is that this person acts as the general of Dongjiang Town, but he has been implementing Xiao Gui and Cao Sui's ideas. Everything is decided by his uncle Zhao Xing. In this way, he seems incompetent and unintentional in front of the soldiers.
This time, there was a sudden heavy snow, and the Bohai Sea was frozen overnight, and even the fleet of the Denglai Navy was blocked in Dalian Bay.
Fortunately, Dalian Bay was not frozen, otherwise the navy's losses would be extremely heavy.
When the heavy snow was still falling on the second day, all the soldiers cheered for the auspicious snow that indicates a good harvest, but Mao Zhongming was worried. Regardless of the wind, snow and cold, he urgently summoned Mao Youde and Mao Kexi to Lushun.
"I feel something is wrong, we should make some preparations."
Looking at the heavy snow outside, Mao Youde said heartlessly: "What place is wrong? What else will happen in this heavy snowy weather? Everyone can only be the warm kang of your wife and children, and they can't do anything at all. Brother, you are so careless."
But the young man Mao Kexi also frowned: "I also feel something is wrong."
Mao Zhongming asked: "What do you think is wrong?"
Mao Kexi said: "Just as the heavy snow fell, my patrol reported to me that it was the Jinzhou Guard opposite me, Li Yongfang's Han army suddenly increased its troops, and the Jurchens also appeared."
Jinzhou is the fortress opposite Nanguan. It occupied Nanguan itself and split the Liaodong Peninsula, becoming the first place where Dongjiang Town set foot on the mainland.
The enemy did not launch a desperate counterattack, oppressed himself into the sea, and gave himself three months to stabilize the results. This was unreasonable.
What's even more unreasonable is that Li Yongfang, who is also stuck at the waist of this peninsula peak, only strengthened some of his troops and defended himself to prevent Dongjiang Town from developing eastward.
However, with this sudden heavy snow, he should have been honestly holding his troops, but why did he suddenly increase his troops to Jinzhou?
"It is unreasonable to be on guard against our attack. In such weather, neither of us will use troops. But they suddenly increased their troops, one of which was to take advantage of this weather to attack us."
Mao Kexi shook his head: "This reason does not exist."
"Then it's just to beware of us launching an attack on them."
“This is a very good reason.”
"But why did they suddenly guard against us and launch an attack on them?" This is the key to the matter.
Things are abnormal and are evil, which requires careful consideration.
"I think that the three months of silence allow us to gain a foothold in this continent, which should definitely not be allowed by Huang Taiji." Mao Zhongming paved and pondered.
"But he did this, which made things even more abnormal. With Huang Taiji's talent and strategy, why did he do this?"
Following Mao Zhongming's thoughts, Mao Kexi suddenly thought: "He Huang Taiji must be planning a bigger conspiracy with a different abacus."
"Then what is his conspiracy?" Mao Youde didn't like to think. He believed that the two armies should have a dignified battle. If they were fighting, there would be no such twists and turns?
"Let's analyze the entire situation and analyze what kind of opportunity Huang Taiji is waiting for? What kind of conspiracy is planning."
He said this to several officials and generals here, but the main thing was to Mao Kexi and Liaodong Governor Liu Guangzhi, hoping that they could give themselves some advice.
Walking to the front of the huge map, Mao Zhongming first indicated the distribution map of the troops in Dongjiang Town: "We have 4 battalions in Dongjiang Town. My military camp is now stationed in Lushun. Dezi Camp is now stationed at the ranch station to rest and rest, while the Kexi battalion is stationed in Nanguan, and the artillery battalion is assigned to him. The Liu Camp is now stationed in Tieshan."
He slid the baton a lot and finally clicked on his base island: "Did you find out? In our hometown, there are actually no soldiers or soldiers."
With this reminder, all the soldiers and officials immediately burst into cold sweats.
The situation in Dongjiang Town is now that it looks like an iron walnut outside. As long as you smash the hard shell, there will be a plump and tender meat inside, and you will be unprepared for it.
"Whether the so-called hard shells outside really exist?" Mao Zhongming asked.
Mao Kexi immediately pointed out: "In fact, this hard shell outside us is full of loopholes. The biggest loophole is Xinyizhou. If the enemy occupied this place in advance, the most cutting-edge warning post could not send out the news. In less than three days, Huang Taiji's army could reach Pi Island."
Mao Zhongming nodded: "The key is that the sea is frozen, and the only obstacle in Pi Island is that Luofengli Strait must be frozen, and war horses can jump past."
As soon as this judgment was made, everyone broke out in a cold sweat again.
"Yes, this is the purpose of my gathering everyone. Now the wind and snow are getting cold and the sea is frozen, and we have completely separated the news from our hometown. And now, from the gratifying report on the increase in Jinzhou, we can definitely judge that Huang Taiji must have taken advantage of the opportunity of wind and snow and the soldiers of Tieshan cannot return to help and sneak attack our foundation."
Then he said very solemnly: "Tieshan is in danger, uncle is in danger."
Mao Youde immediately stood up: "What else do you say? Send troops, fight back to Pi Island, and save uncle."
His proposal was correct. The reason why Dongjiang Town is now is because of Zhao Xing. Once Huang Taiji attacked Xiapi Island, Zhao Xing would not even have a chance to escape.
After Zhao Xing was finished, Dongjiang Town was finished. If you want to restore Liaodong and fight back to your hometown, it will become a piece of paper and a dream.
Liu Guangzhi always believed that Mao Zhongming was just a decoration. He would send a letter to Zhao Xing for instructions in every big thing in the entire Dongjiang Town. He didn't know how many important matters had been delayed for this.
But that's what he did, and he couldn't stop.
Therefore, Liu Guangzhi was worried that he would not dare to move at will at this critical moment. So he carefully proposed: "We will send a few brothers who dare to die and try our best to go through the ice surface of the ocean to return to Pi Island to observe the situation and ask for instructions on the next step."
When he said this, he felt that this suggestion was really redundant.
It is located here from Pi Island, and the straight distance is more than 300 miles. Walking on the frozen sea is already very dangerous. In addition, this heavy snow covers the danger on the ice. If a white-haired wind will rage on the sea after the sky is clear, not to mention sending a few dead soldiers, even if one can send a thousand dead soldiers back to Pi Island, there will definitely be no one.
At this time, Mao Zhongming surprisingly denied his suggestion: "We cannot do this. What we need to do now is to make our arrangements according to the premise that Huang Taiji had already attacked our Pi Island."
All the soldiers and officials saw Mao Zhongming for the first time, and with such decisive determination to kill, they couldn't help but look at him sideways.
"Now, I exercise my power as the acting general of Dongjiang Town to order."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals stood up immediately.
"The whole army has finished resting, Mao Kexi."
"The last one will be there."
"You immediately take the artillery battalion and launch an attack on Jinzhou. No matter how much you cost, you must capture Jinzhou and open the road for us to detour Liaonan to help Pi Island."
Mao Kexi answered the order loudly.
"Mao Youde, you will immediately lead your camp and drive to the front line. As long as Mao Kexi takes over Jinzhou, you will immediately take a detour from southern Liaoning to rescue Pi Island."
"yes."
"This General Headquarters."
Mao Zhongming's deputy general stood up.
"We will immediately kill Liaoyang and cut off the enemy's retreat."
The generals agreed.
Liu Guangzhi whispered: "Are you waiting for the snow to stop? Feige asks Lord Zhao?"
