Jiergalang looked at Dai Shan and pondered: "Empress Dowager, this matter needs to be investigated clearly. In Jinzhou, Phoenix City was indeed withdrawing troops in the Ming Dynasty. What is the matter, how many, and what purpose is it, and what is the cavalry, and the cavalry needs to be investigated clearly."

Dai Shan followed and said, "The total number of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty was not 30,000, and there could not be too many in Dongjiang Town. And if it were just cavalry, even if it was 30,000 people, it would be a death if it came. This is a bit strange."

Xiaozhuang also frowned. If the Ming Dynasty had just sent cavalry to come alone, they would have no fear and their cavalry had almost never been defeated.

Xiaozhuang hesitated and said, "Okay, Prince Zheng, you are staring at them. Also, do you want to call people back?"

They had just disbanded 20,000 to 30,000 people, and now only 20,000 permanent troops are in Shenyang.

Jirhalang looked silent. He had just disbanded and recruited him again, which would undoubtedly cause many problems. But if he didn't recruit him, what would they do if the Ming Dynasty attacked?

Dai Shan said directly: "Teach!"

Chen Hualong pretended to be pondering and responded just right, saying, "I also think we should call us back in case of an accident."

Xiaozhuang was also scared and nodded, "Prince Zheng, please come back."

Jirgalang sighed in his heart and raised his hand to respond.

They not only face the problem of insufficient food and grass, but also their morale. They go back and return, and I don’t know how much impact it will have on the morale of the army.

Soon, Jirgalang ordered that Shenyang City would once again be martial law and the food distributed was taken back to the greatest extent, and Shenyang City was in a tense and slaughtered.

But just one day later, Shenyang carefully investigated the Ming Dynasty cavalry.

Xiaozhuang generals found the palace, but their expressions were still unrelaxed, saying, "It's really only five thousand people?"

Dai Shan was full of faith and said, "Yes, after many investigations, there were indeed only five thousand. And they came in a fierce manner, looking like they were about to attack the city."

Xiaozhuang was puzzled and said, "What can five thousand people do? What conspiracy does Zhou Zheng have?"

Five thousand cavalry really can't do anything, not even enough for them to get stuck between their teeth.

Chen Hualong kept thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up and his expression was surprised. He became calm again in a flash. He slowly raised his hand and said, "Empress Dowager, Weichen, this is Zhou Zhengyun's death struggle and helpless move. He is no longer able to fight the northern expedition, so he can only send a little cavalry and make some moves to block the Ming Dynasty's mouths and give him a step down. In Weichen's opinion, within ten days, this cavalry will inevitably withdraw. Moreover, they will not be too close to Shenyang, with heavy thunder and little rain, just pretending."

Xiaozhuang opened his eyes slightly and said, "Take it serious?"

Chen Hualong looked confident and said, "If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it, you might as well wait a few days to see. The Ming army in Dongjiang Town in Liaodong will accelerate its retreat, and this cavalry will only wander in the distance. Even if it gets close, it will only behave and will not be much threat."

"Prince Zheng?" Xiaozhuang looked at Jiergalang habitually.

Jirgalang kept thinking in his heart and heard this, "Mr. Chen's words make some sense. The cavalry with only 5,000 people does not pose any threat to us. We might as well take a look first and then make a decision."

Xiaozhuang nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry, my dear friends."

Jirgalang, Daishan, and Chen Hualong quickly raised their hand and said, "I dare not."

Another day later, as Chen Hualong said, Li Dingguo's cavalry was just wandering outside Shenyang City, attacking some villages and small fortresses, and not too close to Shenyang.

The senior management of Jianlu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but was not careless. They still sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to stare at it, and at the same time, Jianlu's cavalry was ready to fight.

On the third day, Li Dingguo's cavalry rushed straight to Chenyang, but did not go deeper, turned south and headed for Tieling and Fushun.

Li Dingguo's actions seemed to anger the Jianlu. Jirhalang sent Dodo to lead 3,000 people to pursue him. When Dodo chased him to Tieling, he saw a ruined wall and a head - Dorgon's!

Duoduo was furious and led three thousand people to pursue him wildly.

Li Dingguo waited for an opportunity to set up an ambush, defeated Duoduo, and almost wiped out his entire army.

Li Dingguo took advantage of the victory and pursued the army, and the army rushed to the city of Chenyang, causing Chenyang to be shocked.

Jirgalang personally led 10,000 people out, Li Dingguo closed down without fighting, turned around and rushed towards Dongjiang Town.

Jirgalang chased after him reluctantly and chased him to the bottom of Phoenix City.

Thousands of cannons burst out in Phoenix City, making Jirgalang dare not approach.

At the same time, it is a hundred miles north of Zhenbei City.

Man Gui and Cao Bianjiao received a secret letter from the Military Information Department.

Man Gui's expression was shocked and handed it to Cao Bianjiao and said, "Jirgalang has not returned for two days, and Chenyang City is almost empty. What do you think?"

Cao Bianjiao has always been steady and he was quick to think about it. He said, "Immediately send troops to Chenyang, surround Chenyang, and then ambush Jiergalang, fight half of them, and Liaodong is just around the corner!"

Man Gui looked at Cao Bianjiao and smiled and said, "I am worthy of being the one brought out by Duke Ding, and his ideas are really the same as him."

Cao Bianjiao smiled seriously and said, "There is no way to do this. If you can beat him, you don't need to do this."

Man Gui laughed and looked north with a cold look, saying, "You must not miss the opportunity, immediately, send a message to Governor Lu."

Cao Bianjiao responded, walked a few steps quickly, turned over his horse, and shouted: "Recruitment, go north, Shenyang!"

Instantly, the drums and horns were connected to the sky, and the horse's hooves were sounding like thunder.

Mangui, Cao Bianjiao's 20,000 cavalrymen went north at full speed and headed straight for Chenyang.

In just half a day, Cao Bianjiao and Man Gui's 20,000 cavalrymen appeared not far outside Shenyang.

Chenyang City was shocked. On one hand, Dai Shan led everyone to defend the city, and on the other hand, he urgently notified Jiergalang to return.

Mangui, Cao Bianjiao's cavalry did not attack the city, and walked around the city, shouting and killing sounds like thunder.

Xiaozhuang, Fulin and others were frightened. They never expected that the Ming army that had already withdrawn would suddenly appear.

Chen Hualong and other Han officials were even more frightened. They were not as good as guarding, and they could not escape.

Duoduo shouted to fight out, but was suppressed by Daishan.

Duoduo wasted five thousand before, and Jirgalang took away 10,000, and the rest of them were almost the elderly, weak, women and children. Moreover, not to mention that they could not beat them, according to the Ming Dynasty's fighting life with their lives, how long can they last?

What they have to do now is to wait for Jiergalang to return to the army, cooperate with the inside and outside, and eat the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty!

There was tension all over the Chenyang City, almost everyone had to defend the city, and the palace was even more panicked, and everyone was restless.

In Jirgalang, outside Phoenix City, I received the news soon and turned around immediately.

But what followed was that the 5,000 cavalry of Li Dingguo rested and improved, and left the city to bite Jirgalang, and there were 20,000 infantry soldiers, followed by the artillery.

Jirgalang was determined to turn around and defeat the Ming army, but saw that the Ming army was in a strict formation and did not attack easily even if he showed any flaws. He knew that the Ming army would either fight to the death or drag him on purpose, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

The situation in Liaodong changed drastically, and all parties were constantly taking action.

After receiving the news, Lu Xiangsheng from Jinzhou immediately led an army of 30,000 to Chenyang at full speed.

Affected by this, the entire Liaodong was even more busy. Even Shandong and Tianjin Guards were facing a great enemy, with various armies and logistics running rapidly.
