Chapter 456: The shadows and countermeasures of the uncle and nephew of the Fan family, but unfortunately things are unpredictable
"Master of the house."
In the back garden of the Fan family mansion in Jingcheng District, Shengjing, Fan Wencheng, who had just returned home, reported to Fan Yubin, "The Houjin clan is in big trouble!"
"Our spies in the northern capital of the Fortress have sent back an urgent report that the Fuxing Army has dispatched seven main armies and two naval fleets to launch a full-scale attack on the remaining Liaodong territory of the Later Jin clan!"
"If the Renaissance Army hadn't moved so fast, we wouldn't have been able to learn about this urgent military situation in time. Even so, when we received this urgent military situation, the seven main armies of the Renaissance Army had already gathered in Liaodong and were in position."
"In three days at most, the Restoration Army's offensive will be fully launched."
"At that time, the enemy's attack on Xining Fort, Dongchang Fort, Haizhou City, Fenghuang City, and Zhenjiang Fort, which border the Houjin clan, will be fully launched!"
There was an undisguised panic in Fan Wencheng's tone, and fear in his eyes.
Because the area north of the Yellow River and the three northwestern provinces were completely occupied by the Fuxing Army, their Fan family and other large Shanxi merchants suffered a devastating blow.
Except for some elite family members who evacuated to the south of the Yangtze River in time and survived, the former top ten Shanxi merchants not only lost more than 90% of their trade routes, but also lost almost all of their fixed assets and sacred lands.
Dozens of the most outstanding core members of the Fan family have now come to Liaodong with the head of the family, Fan Yubin, and settled in Shengjing City.
If Shengjing City is captured by the Fuxing Army led by Li Dingguo, the demise of their Fan family is imminent!
God knows whether these core members of the Fan family, including the head of the family Fan Yubin, who have escaped from Li Dingguo's hands many times, can escape this time?
"Why did you receive the news so late?"
"Can Prince Daishan and Manggurtai, who stayed behind in Shengjing City, and Dorgon and Duoduo, who were in charge of the defense of Liaoyang City, stop this round of attack by the Fuxing Army?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Yubin cursed angrily, "This Li Dingguo is really haunting us. He didn't even give Huang Taiji a chance to catch his breath. Just when they consolidated their newly occupied territory, they launched another offensive in Liaodong!"
"Unfortunately, the main force of the Later Jin led by Huang Taiji has just reached the city of Goguryeo, which is more than 100,000 miles away from Shengjing City. How can they return to rescue in time?"
Fan Yubin, who had just broken through to the fifth-level peak cultivation level with the help of his innate top-grade life artifact, the Money Tree, was feeling very confident, but he was met with this devastating bad news.
No matter how capable he is, he is only a cultivator at the peak level of level five. There are at least five generals of the Renaissance Army with the same level of cultivation as him in each main legion!
Together with Li Dingguo, Cao Bianjiao, Wan'er, Hongmei and other level six strongmen, what can the mere thousand core members of the Fan family use to fight against the other side?
Now all they can count on are Prince Li Daishan, Duoduo, Dorgon and Manggurtai. They hope they can stop the full-scale attack that the Fuxing Army is about to launch, or at least hold out until Huang Taiji's army returns for support, so that this round of crisis can be resolved.
"Master, we can't put all our hopes on the Houjin clan this time. We need to prepare a way out in advance."
Fan Wencheng felt a wave of fear, as if a catastrophic disaster was approaching, so he made a proposal to Fan Yubin with a grim face.
"Uncle Wencheng, what you mean is..."
Fan Yubin looked at this resourceful elder with great annoyance, took a long breath and asked.
His sixth sense also kept giving warnings, and it was obvious that this disaster was far greater than any previous one.
If they are not careful, the Fan family will be completely wiped out.
This was definitely an unacceptable outcome for the uncle and nephew who were determined to restore the glory of their ancestor Fan Zhongyan's time.
“Master, I have been in Liaodong for these years and have not made any preparations.”
Fan Wencheng calmed down and said to Fan Yubin, "In the past ten years or so, I have secretly collected thousands of Liaodong Han orphans with outstanding qualifications in Liaodong. I have spent a lot of resources and efforts to build a strong Fan family secret guard."
"Among them, there are three level five leaders, dozens of level four leaders, and the rest are all level two and three warriors."
"Most of these secret guards are stationed in the Fan Family Manor outside East City and can be activated at any time."
"Of course, we can't rely on this Fan family secret guard to fight against the Renaissance Army. Instead, we need to escort our thousands of core members of the Fan family to evacuate to Tieling Pass in the northeast in advance!"
"Tieling Pass is the fortress closest to the northeastern wilderness area within the Great Wall. Our Fan family can quietly evacuate here first and wait and see what happens. Once we find that Shengjing has fallen, we can immediately flee north of the Great Wall to avoid the Fuxing Army's front and preserve our Fan family's last hope."
Fan Wencheng had a vague feeling that the Later Jin clan might not be able to defend Liaodong this time.
Given Li Dingguo's hatred for the Fan family, if they fell into the hands of the enemy, there would be no other way except to be slaughtered.
Since he couldn't win the battle and couldn't surrender, the only way he could do was to escape in time to preserve the Fan family's incense and plan for his future.
Apart from anything else, with the talent and background of the head of the family, plus thousands of elite secret guards, as long as they stay away from the Renaissance Army, it will not be a problem to keep the Fan family going.
The grasslands in the north are so vast that we can easily and quietly destroy a medium-sized Tatar tribe, replace them and settle down.
As for restoring the glory of the Fan family?
This is only possible after Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army has reached its peak and declined.
The only thing to blame is the bad luck of the Fan family. In this era of great strife, they had to face Li Dingguo, a genius who was so outstanding that he could crush an entire era.
"This……"
Fan Yubin hesitated for a moment.
He felt very unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that this might be the last way out for the already impoverished Fan family.
As for after escaping from Shengjing City, did he continue to reunite with Huang Taiji?
Well, as long as he is not stupid, he can guess that Huang Taiji, who has lost his base in Liaodong, is at the end of his road and is not far from death and the extinction of his clan.
It is impossible for their Fan family to be buried with the Later Jin clan, so fleeing away now is undoubtedly the best option.
Of course, it would be best if Daishan, Dorgon, Manggurtai and others could lead the two million Later Jin soldiers who stayed in Liaodong to defend the existing territory and block the attack of the Fuxing Army.
"Okay, Uncle Wen Cheng, just do whatever you want."
After making the final decision, Fan Yubin said gloomily, "However, how can we leave Shengjing City in advance and go to the Fan Family Manor outside the East City?"
"Will Daishan agree?"
Like Huang Taiji, Daishan also attached great importance to the Fan family in Shengjing City. He often summoned Fan Wencheng and Fan Yubin to discuss matters. He regarded the uncle and nephew as the think tanks of the Later Jin clan. Before the war was about to start, it was impossible for him to let the Fan family leave the city.
"Master, you don't have to worry about this. I have already prepared for it."
When Fan Wencheng heard that the head of the family agreed to the evacuation plan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently, "Li Dingguo's army is about to attack. Let's not talk about Shengjing City first. The surrounding manors and ranches are definitely not going to be able to be defended."
"I will immediately propose to Daishan and ask him to issue a mobilization order to relocate personnel and supplies from the surrounding areas of Shengjing City into the city!"
"In this way, our Fan Family Manor will not be left behind." "We just need to quietly evacuate the Shengjing area and temporarily stay in the Tieling Fortress after we have packed up the personnel and supplies of the manor outside the city."
"When the main force of the Renaissance Army arrives in a few days and launches an attack on Shengjing City and Liaoyang City in the south at the same time, Daishan will not care where our Fan family has gone."
I have to say that this guy Fan Wencheng is an absolute old bastard.
Once he made this suggestion, Daishan could not disagree.
There are tens of thousands of private ranches and manors surrounding Shengjing City. If these massive numbers of personnel and materials are not urgently relocated into the city, will they remain and provide aid to the enemy?
At that time, the Fan family could leave the chaos without being noticed and seek refuge in Tieling Pass in the north.
"it is good!"
Fan Yubin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately praised, "Uncle Wencheng, you are indeed a wise man that our Fan family only sees once in a hundred years. Your moves are extraordinary."
"It's settled. The sooner you act, the better!"
The two then hurriedly perfected the plan and began to act separately.
Fan Yubin commanded the people in the Fan family mansion to quickly collect supplies, while Fan Wencheng left the Fan family mansion and went to the residence of Prince Li Daishan to put forward his suggestions.
However, they could never have imagined that at this moment, 30,000 feet above Shengjing City, there were three huge golden eagles that were invisible to the naked eye, hovering and observing the situation below.
"Brother, this Shengjing City has been made quite nice by Huang Taiji."
Wan'er carefully observed the situation inside and outside the city below, and said to Li Dingguo with a smile, "I think it is similar to Qingzhou City, or even better."
After receiving an order from the military, she spent more than a month leading her two large naval fleets to Liaodong to reunite with Li Dingguo and Hongmei. She instructed the soldiers to prepare for a large-scale attack on Liaodong. Then, together with Li Dingguo and Hongmei, she rode on the golden eagle, a spiritual bird, to check the enemy situation in Liaoyang City and Shengjing City.
Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle, which has always been the fine tradition of the Fuxing Army.
Even if the Fusion Army takes advantage of the situation this time and has huge advantages in all aspects, we cannot take it lightly.
After all, the Qing Dynasty was an imperial dynasty with extraordinary fortune, so it was no exaggeration to attach great importance to it.
"The Commander-in-Chief."
Hongmei on the side said, "There are many large and small Tartar manors and ranches outside Shengjing City!"
"Why don't we send out an army of 200,000 men to clean up the surrounding areas before attacking Shengjing City."
"In this way, we can not only obtain a large amount of materials and goods, but also significantly reduce the supply of food and fodder for the Tartars in the city, thus reducing the difficulty of attacking the city."
She was right.
There are tens of thousands of Tartar manors and ranches of all sizes outside Shengjing City, and the amount of food, fodder, and manpower gathered together is astonishing.
Once the Tartars gather these manpower and supplies and bring them into Shengjing City, it will be very disadvantageous for the Fuxing Army's subsequent siege.
No matter what, this is also a capital city with extraordinary defense. It is also suppressed by the Black Dragon of National Destiny. It is not so easy to capture it.
Although this round of full-scale attack launched by the Fuxing Army was a move to take advantage of the weak position, once the main force led by Huang Taiji came back to provide support, the Fuxing Army's plan to capture the entire Liaodong region would undoubtedly be in jeopardy.
"Well, we will return to Haizhou, Dongchangbao and Fenghuang City respectively."
Li Dingguo thought about it for a moment and agreed. "We already have a general idea of the situation of Liaoyang City and Shengjing City through this observation."
"How about this, for the sake of safety, Hongmei, you will personally lead the White Tiger Army and the Taotie Army gathered in Dongchang Fort, as well as the soldiers of the First Fleet of the Navy, and immediately head north. While approaching Shengjing City at full speed, you will first sweep and cleanse the large number of manors and pastures around it."
"Any soldier or civilian who encounters any Tartar will be killed without mercy!"
"In the jurisdiction of our Restoration Army, we do not need any foreign races to surrender from now on!"
"With the strong fertility of our Han people, as long as the people have enough food and clothing, the speed of population growth is very amazing, enough to fill the vacancies left by the death of these foreign races within a few decades."
It's not that Li Dingguo is cruel, but having lived two lives, he knows too well the huge hidden dangers of not getting rid of the roots.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This is an unchanging truth and an iron law.
If they are not true Han people, they may betray the Han dynasty at any time in thousands of years and bring endless disasters to the Han people.
Rather than leaving this hidden danger to future generations, it is better to nip it in the bud!
Let alone the ethnic minorities within the country, Li Dingguo knew clearly that even those countries, big and small, that the neighboring countries were trying to make friends with would be ungrateful no matter how much money and materials they provided to them.
When it comes to interests, backstabbing is always possible.
In the five thousand years of Earth's history in the previous life, this kind of bullshit has happened throughout the entire history of China, without exception.
"As for Liaoyang City, Wan'er, you will return to Haizhou City as soon as possible and quickly lead the Royal Guards and the Qilin Army to the north to attack the Liaoyang City area. The plan is the same as for Shengjing City."
Li Dingguo's tone was cold as he issued a killing order, "Remember, all the foreign soldiers and civilians you encounter in this battle must be wiped out completely, and you won't give them any chance to rise again in the future!"
"I want to see if Huang Taiji can still wreak havoc on this eastern land after he loses tens of millions of his people!"
"At the same time, convey this military order to the entire army, and all soldiers must execute it accordingly!"
"In short, we don't need any foreign captives in this battle!"
After saying this, Li Dingguo, who had already completed his personal investigation of the military situation, left with Hongmei and Wan'er separately and returned to the gathering place of the seven corps and two naval fleets of the Fuxing Army, fully preparing for the plan of a large-scale surprise attack on Liaodong in three days.
The golden eagles that the three people's mounts have all reached the sixth level of cultivation. Now they have awakened and mastered the innate magical power of space. They do not need to waste too much time on traveling. They can come and go without a trace, which is extremely convenient and fast.
At this time in Shengjing City, Fan Wencheng and his nephew Fan Yubin probably never imagined that their escape plan would encounter changes before it even began.
If they are unlucky, they will be doomed this time.
