Although the accuracy of the new army's artillery attacks shocked Jianlu, Jianlu also had a lot of large-scale siege equipment. As the speed accelerated, he finally slowly approached Gaizhou City.

At the same time, in the lobby of Jinzhou Yamen, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai who had just returned for a night, sent an order to convene his subordinates to hold a military meeting.

He sat in the main seat and said seriously: "The battle between our army in Xinjin did not attract Jianlu to rescue him immediately. At this time, they were attacking Gaizhou with all their strength."

After briefly introducing the situation, Lu Xiangsheng glanced at the faces of each general under the hall and said very strongly: "The cruelty of Jianlu is unheard of! Jianlu is immortal and the anger of the people cannot be eliminated. Since they don't care, it means that our army will not hurt. Therefore, this official decided that if you attack the enemy, you must save it in order to save the siege in Gaizhou!"

Hearing this, the many generals in the hall were not afraid, but were excited to fight.

"Master Zhongcheng, are you going to fight Liaoyang again? I'm willing to go there at the end!"

"The last general suggested that you just attack Chenyang, forget about it. Taking it will be a great achievement. If you can't take it, it will be enough to scare Jianlu!"

“…”

Listening to their request for war, Lu Xiangsheng felt a little relieved. They were all good! Little did they know that there was an old saying in China that a soldier would be a crotch. With a general like Lu Xiangsheng, his subordinates would naturally not have cowards!

I saw him reach out and signal. The lobby that was extremely noisy just now suddenly became very quiet. Obviously, his power was enough, so I heard him say, "Okay, bring two cannons, I will lead you all the way to Chenyang!"

As soon as he said this, the lobby was still very quiet. Obviously, the generals below did not react. They did not expect that Lu Xiangsheng would really give such an order and would lead the army in person!

Seeing that they didn't speak, Lu Xiangsheng shouted coldly, "What, were they just talking about it just now?"

After he said this, all the generals came to their senses and were immediately excited. They were really going to fight Chenyang and do it!

"Abide by the military orders of Lord Zhongcheng!" Many generals responded loudly at once, and their emotions seemed very high.

However, Xu Fuzou, who was old and steadfast, hesitated a little, still made a different voice and said: "Mr. Zhongcheng, today is different from the past. Jianlu's capital. Even if their slave chief is not there, there must be heavy troops to guard it! Even if the entire Dongjiang army is dispatched, it will be difficult to conquer Shenyang! And...and..."

"And what?" Lu Xiangsheng asked quietly and asked lightly.

When Xu Fu heard the story, he did not hesitate and immediately said: "There was a precedent in the previous attack by our Dongjiang army. Finally, the general thought that with the cleverness of the slave chief, our army would not be easily escaped. He would definitely send elite troops to cut off the possible return of our army. Lord Zhongcheng, now the main force of Jianlu is in Liaodong!"

"Why, Xu Fu Zu, are you afraid?" Mao Chengzuo didn't wait for Lu Xiangsheng to speak, and then mocked Xu Fu Zu coldly, "If Chenyang is captured, that would be a great contribution, do you understand?"

Xu Fuzu's face changed when he heard it. He was hesitant before, because he was afraid of such a hat on his head, so he quickly replied loudly: "What am I afraid of? All my family and children were killed by Jianlu. What should I be afraid of? I am cautious, just worried... Otherwise, please report to the emperor and see what the emperor means..."

Mao Chengzuo looked dissatisfied when he heard this. He thought that he was afraid and moved out of the emperor to suppress others! The other generals also wanted to talk, and they were about to quarrel in the lobby.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand to stop them from speaking, and said in a gentle tone: "You don't need to say anything more. I understand what you think. Since that's the case, I will finish the words."

After hearing what he said, all the generals couldn't help but look at him, curious about what he meant when he finished speaking.

"What I mean is that the Cavalry Camp will bring artillery north and leave Xiaoheishan. After passing Xinjin, go directly north along the coast and move forward with great fanfare. When encountering Jianlu's town, the artillery will be bombarded, and when encountering a large city, you will bypass it." Lu Xiangsheng explained in a deep voice, "The purpose of our army is to force the slave chief to divide his troops to rescue him. If he does not move, continue to go north and run to Chenyang."

Speaking of this, he stopped and said, "According to my estimate, the slave chief will never ignore it when he hears the movements of our army. And as soon as he takes action, our army will know it as soon as possible, and can return immediately and quickly, so as to achieve the goal of supporting Gaizhou!"

In fact, if you go north from Jinzhou and want to go to Chenyang, the best way is to follow the original official road, first go to Haizhou, Gaizhou, and pass through Liaoyang to Chenyang.

If the Dongjiang Army has enough strength, it is necessary to support Gaizhou. Another good way is to defeat Fuzhou, which is between Jinzhou and Gaizhou. Unfortunately, during the autumn harvest operation, it was the one who evacuated from Fuzhou on Changsheng Island. Therefore, the Jianlu on Fuzhou is considered a heavy defense, and it is not something that the current Dongjiang Army can evacuate.

After understanding the real purpose of this action, many generals couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it was a little relaxed. It was not that they didn't understand that Chenyang was actually not something they could really chew on, but what if it was, it was just something!

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at the generals in the hall again and finally reiterated: "The fundamental purpose of this winter battle in Liaodong is to mess with Jianlu and exhaust the strength of Jianlu. Therefore, although this battle is not really about fighting Chenyang, its importance is comparable to winning Chenyang! The generals must not slacken. Do you understand?"

"The last general understands!" This time, all the generals responded in unison.

After asking his subordinates to go out to prepare, Lu Xiangsheng turned around to Wei Mulan who had been standing beside him, and said, "Report to the emperor, just say that our army is about to set off!"

Wei Mulan nodded. After waiting for a while, she said to Lu Xiangsheng: "The emperor's will, let the chief minister try to be as careful as possible and send more nights to avoid warnings. The current source of information is only Huang Taiji. If there are local generals in Jianlu who act without authorization, the emperor will not know in time!"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, this is certain. It is definitely impossible to rely on only one source of information to ignore the military rules. Especially this time, we must launch a lot of fun and expose the whereabouts to Jianlu, and we must be more careful!

Besides, outside Gaizhou City, some arrow towers were pushed closer to them. The Mongolian archers at the top started shooting archers regardless of whether the range was sufficient. They were looking forward to this, which would cause panic among the Ming army on the top of the city.

And those catapults didn't have time to fix them and wanted to launch stones. Piles of people began to load stones in panic and pull the lever.
