"Hmph, you guy changes his face so quickly." Xiong Tingbi snorted, and then feigned anger, "Stupid! Don't you loosen the tie on the official? How long is it going to be tied? ”

Ye Fu seemed to have just reacted.

hurriedly got up from the ground and ran over to untie Xiong Tingbi in person. At the same time, he also commanded his subordinates, and loosened the ropes of the entourage who followed Xiong Tingbi one by one.

As soon as Xiong Tingbi moved his arms, Ye Fu knelt on the ground again.

"I don't know if it's a handsome man, it's really offended, and I hope your lordship will forgive me."

Xiong Tingbi didn't say anything to him for a while, but paced slowly, walked behind him, walked up to the wooden platform, went around to the back of the big case, and sat down on the Taishi chair.

Ye Fu slowly turned around with his steps, and his head was not raised from beginning to end.

Xiong Tingbi stared at him for a long time before asking, "You said that you should step up defense, in addition to the fact that this official is going to come to patrol, is there any other reason?" It's been a lot of peace lately? ”

Ye Fu has the memory of his previous life, and naturally knows that Sanyang is one of Nurhachi's important strategic goals.

If according to the original history, within a year, Nurhachi will take the Sanyang Fort, and when the time comes, the loss of this section of the Great Wall will definitely be a great loss for the Ming army. In order to recapture it, Mao Wenlong later wasted too much effort.

Moreover, even if he has no memories of the afterlife, with the fact that he has been constantly sending sentinels to investigate around during this time, he has already found something.

Now answering this question, he had to frown, although he lowered his head, but from his tone, he could also hear the seriousness of his words and the severity of the situation, "Since the last time Xu Pingong was overwhelmed by sin, the lowly and the Houjin cavalry had an encounter by mistake, the lowly position has become vigilant. The adults also know that the humble post participated in the last battle of Sarhu, and he knew a little about some of the above things, and he thought that the Tatar chieftain had suffered serious losses this time, so he had to repair it. But what I never expected was that the Tartars still had the strength to break through my two important places in Fushun and Tieling. When Fushun fell, he was afraid of his humble duties and rode out lightly, and only then did he encounter Xu Pingong's collaboration with the enemy. And since that time, the lowly official knew that the army below was uncertain, for fear of making mistakes in the chaos, and the news that you were going to patrol came, so he ordered the sentry cavalry to patrol strictly. After several inspections, more than once encountered Houjin's attack and harassed troops. It's just that the lowly precautions were a little more rigorous, so they didn't ask them to grab things again. ”

"Well, I see." Xiong Tingbi nodded, "This is the proper meaning of the question!" The Tatar chieftain will not die if he swallows my Liaodong heart, and even if he can't conquer on a large scale for the time being, he will inevitably be attacked by a small force. After all, it's still icy and snowy, and it's still some time before the weather gets warmer. The Tartars were savage, and they maintained their armies by plundering. It stands to reason that you will lose a little, and this is also inevitable. As long as you dare to fight, this official will not blame you! ”

"Xie Dashuai! Xie Dashuai! Ye Fu hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Ye Fu is a 'handsome', not a 'strategy', nor an 'adult'. Xiong Tingbi is really comfortable!

Only then did he say: "It's not wrong to be loyal to your duties, for the sake of your duties have always been rigorous, offending your own officials~~ I won't care about you for the time being, and you will be allowed to make meritorious contributions." Don't kneel, stand up first! ”

With Xiong Tingbi's permission, Ye Fucai stood up.

Standing at the foot of the stairs with his hands bowed, he lowered his head to Xiong Tingbi, looking like he was honest and obedient.

Xiong Tingbi looked at him twice and asked him: "This official came over this time, but he didn't listen to you admit his mistake. I see that your sentry patrols are quite tight, so I won't teach you anything else for the time being. Tell me if there are any difficulties. If so, say it, and the official will find a way to solve it for you. ”

Xiong Tingbi is a civil official, and Ye Fu is a military attaché. There is a big difference in grades, and it stands to reason that Xiong Tingbi should not have such a consultative tone towards Ye Fu.

But Xiong Tingbi heard Ye Fu's name when he was in Shenyang, and then he had a good impression of him because of Ye Fu's design. In the eyes of the current Xiong Tingbi, Ye Fu is the most lacking available general in Liaodong. Although he may not be very capable of fighting, he can obey orders and listen to commands, and he can do his part quite well.

Therefore, out of consideration for talent, his tone was much softer.

Ye Fu naturally knows this, but if he misses such a thing as making it difficult, it will be missed, and it will be too late to regret it.

What's more, Ye Fu knows who Xiong Tingbi is.

Regarding the lack of things within the Liaodong Army, Xiong Tingbi is actually the same as Spiegel in his heart.

When asked like this, most of them are also thinking about it.

Ye Fu pondered for a while, and then said to Xiong Tingbi: "Handsome and graceful, there are indeed many difficulties for the lowly subordinates. However, most of the difficulties can be overcome by yourself, but there are only these three things, it is really ~~ There are not many ways to humble the position, and please help the handsome to help the lowly position! Otherwise, once the war starts, I am afraid that there is only one way to die for the country. ”

"How can you say such an unlucky thing?" Xiong Tingbi frowned and said, "If there is any difficulty, you just say it, this official is ordered to pass through Liaodong, naturally every city and one place is the top priority, and it cannot be taken lightly." What's more, the situation of the twelve military forts under you is so important, once there is a loss, how can it be something that you can fill with a death? It's nonsense! ”

As soon as he said this, Ye Fu immediately felt a little bottom in his heart.

Since he is willing to solve it, then just say it.

Ye Fu hurriedly said: "My lord is very right! I also want to keep a useful body and contribute to Daming. Not to mention conquering the city, at least take care of the military forts under your command. It's just that these three things are missing, and the humble position is really impossible. ”

Xiong Tingbi didn't answer this time, but listened to Ye Fu continue.

Ye Fu said: "What is missing in this first article is ordnance!" ”

"Dashuai, you know. Since the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, the six forts of my Kuanjiao line have all been abandoned by Li Shuai. There were more than 100,000 garrisons and civilians, all of whom migrated inward. Since then, a lot of unnecessary effort has been wasted in order to restore the defense line here. To this day, however, the defenses have not been rearranged. Not only are the walls old, but the equipment to defend the city is insufficient. There are almost zero combat vehicles and firearms, and even if there are still in the warehouse, they are long unusable. ”

"The walls and trenches of the military fort have been repaired and repaired by the lowly officials. And the lack of chariots and firearms, but the humble position is helpless. The handsome genius, of course, knows that chariots and firearms are the sharp weapons of my Ming Dynasty against the enemy! It is lethal and easy to operate. What's more, the Tartars are not good at firearms, which is precisely to attack the shortcomings of the other with their own strengths. Therefore, the replenishment of chariots and firearms, in the opinion of humble duty, is necessary. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Fu raised his head slightly and examined Xiong Tingbi's face.

Seeing that he frowned slightly, he thought that he was unwilling to listen to this. With a quick spin in his mind, he quickly changed his words and began to say the next one.

However, this one is not the most important thing. It's not that there is a lack of firearms, and good archers are really difficult to cultivate. A few days ago, he thought of a way, found a few carpenters, and ordered them to make a batch of divine arm crossbows. Following the example of the previous dynasty, the crossbowmen against the cavalry, recently tried, and the effect was not bad. Therefore, there is no need for this firearm to be substituted for the time being. ”
