Wang Yongji thought for a long time and then gave an order: Li Xianzhong and Li Dingguo were ordered to lead their troops to join the main force of the Ping Liao army and prepare to capture Shenyang. Liu Zhaoji was to guard Guangning to resist possible attacks from the grassland.
Li Dingguo and Li Xianzhong were both favorites of Chongzhen.
Li Dingguo, in particular, had outstanding combat capabilities and made outstanding military achievements.
It would be a waste of his talent to leave him in Guangning for defense.
In comparison.
Liu Zhaoji was less favored.
It would be most appropriate for him to stay in Guangning to defend.
On August 17, the 24th year of Chongzhen, Wang Yongji led his troops to Shenyang again.

Under the leadership of Huang Fei, the navy has recaptured Fenghuang City and Kuandian Liubao.

Kuandian Liubao was first built in the early years of the Wanli period.
In the 34th year of Wanli's reign, Li Chengliang, then commander-in-chief of Liaodong, requested permission to abandon the six forts in Kuandian and relocate the military and civilians inland.

Regardless of the purpose of abandoning this place, the impact will be huge.
You should know that the straight-line distance between Kuandian Fort and Hetuala is only more than 200 miles (there are mountains around, and the actual distance is several times the straight-line distance).
Actively giving up Kuandian Liubao was equivalent to actively giving the Jiannu space for development.
Since then.
The Jiannu's power in Liaodong grew stronger and stronger, and soon got out of control.
Now that the six forts in Kuandian have been recaptured, the Jiannu's old nest, Hetuala, will face the threat of the Ming navy.
