Yuan Chonghuan trembled for a while, secretly looked back, and saw that Chongzhen had returned to the palace, and unconsciously slowed down, thinking: "We originally wanted to explore the emperor's attitude, but we didn't want to be speechless because of excitement, and let the emperor catch the ducks on the shelves."

Alas, it is not easy to return to Liao in five years, the emperor actually believed it, and gave such a high salary. This is not a good thing, the higher the treatment he gives, the more serious it will be in the future. ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly returned to the yamen of the military department to simply pack up and get on the road, only to think again: "What should I do?" There is no way, for the sake of today's plan, the only way is to change the original strategy and find the main force of Houjin to fight it as soon as possible.

Decisive battle? It's easy to say, in fact, not to mention whether we can find the main force of Houjin, even if we find it, will we definitely win?

Not necessarily, the Manchus have accumulated strength for many years, and after the Salhu War, they are even more energetic, and they work together, and the momentum is incomparable.

And what about us? Not to mention that all parties are restraining each other, just the border generals, except for Sun Chengzong, who was persecuted by the eunuch party and resigned and returned to his hometown, how many people can understand our strategic intentions? ”

Thinking about it so repeatedly, Yuan Chonghuan was inevitably discouraged, and it was only when Ning Yuan's thinking finally became smooth: "After Sun Chengzong and our years of operation, the Guanning army has grown into the elite of the imperial army, by the way, we will use the power given to us by the emperor to firmly control this army, in case there is a day, the emperor will not be without concerns."

But how can you control it? Thanks to our extra heart, the swords of Wang Zhichen and Man Gui have been withdrawn, and they don't pose much of a threat to us. There is also a Mao Wenlong, holding the sword of Shang Fang given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse in his hand, he is against us everywhere, and he must be eliminated in the end.

However, we can't take care of him at the moment, we must let Zu Dashou, He Kegang and Zhao Shujiao master the army as soon as possible, Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao are stationed in Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan respectively, and He Kegang helps us to garrison Ningyuan.

Of course, we have to sell the emperor's face, which is very important. How to sell it? To make a gesture of actively looking for the decisive battle of the main force of Houjin, it is not only necessary to do it, but also to publicize it with great fanfare. ”

Having made up his mind, Yuan Chonghuan no longer hesitated, took the Shang Fang sword held by his entourage, rushed forward to greet the generals and raised three times, and then entered the Governor's Mansion with a high toe.

All the generals knew that he had been summoned by the emperor's platform and proposed a five-year plan to restore Liao, but they didn't know how he was reinstated, so they had the heart to find out and hurriedly followed.

Yuan Chonghuanyan couldn't understand their thoughts, deliberately didn't speak, went to sit down, took the tea handed over by the attendant, took a sip gently, glanced at the generals, cleared his throat, and said, "Why didn't Mao Shuai come?" Didn't you order someone to notify you a few days ago? Why, don't you look down on Yuan? ”

Seeing that he was displeased, the Chinese army hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Yes, I have been notified, and Mao Shuai has also sent people back and forth, saying that the Dongjiang River is the hinterland of Houjin, and the commander does not dare to leave without permission, and I hope that the superintendent will understand his distress." ”

"Don't dare to leave? Hmph, I just don't want to see us. However, his trick is absolutely absolute, not only to find a reason for himself, but also to embarrass us, we can't fall into his pit. Thinking secretly, Yuan Chonghuan let out an "oh" on his lips and said: "Mao Shuai is loyal to his duties and has a commendable spirit, so let's wait for this inspector to have time, and go to Dongjiang to convey the emperor's will to him." ”

"Personally convey the emperor's will? It's broken, Mao Shuai's trouble is coming. The generals thought about it, but they heard him say again: "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are thousands of things to do, but he follows the example of the Xiansheng platform to summon Chonghuan, which is not only the glory of my Yuan Chonghuan alone, but also the glory of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong."

Of course, this also demonstrates the emperor's determination to manage Liaodong. In order to live up to the grace of God, Chonghuan proposed to return to Liao in five years. The emperor praised this and fulfilled all the conditions put forward by Chonghuan.

I know that many people are skeptical, but what is the most important thing about being human? It's determination. The emperor is so determined, we are so favored and entrusted by the emperor, how dare we not do our best? ”

"Determination is important, of course, but it shouldn't be unrealistic, right? With the current situation of the enemy and us, not to mention the resumption of Liao, it will not be easy to achieve a reversal of attack and defense within five years. The generals didn't know what they really thought, and they thought about it, so they just lowered their heads and didn't speak.

This obviously made Yuan Chonghuan feel dissatisfied, he snorted coldly, raised his voice and said, "Do you have confidence?" ”

The generals were helpless, closed their eyes, and said loudly: "Yes." ”

Yuan Chonghuan knew that they were not sincere, but he still smiled: "That's right, the key to planning is to be handsome, as long as we are handsome, what else in Liaodong can be difficult to defeat our handsome?" ”

Speaking, in order to remind the generals to pay attention to his next speech, Yuan Chonghuan deliberately stopped, looked at the generals with a smile for a while, and raised his voice and said: "In order to ensure the realization of the five-year plan for the restoration of Liao, this superintendent has decided that from now on, all departments will fully switch from the original defense to the offensive, actively look for the main force of Houjin, and quickly fight a decisive battle with it."

In addition, all units should carry out propaganda with great fanfare and comprehensively implement the tactics of cowardly the enemy to ensure that a decisive battle will be fought in a decisive battle. ”

"What's wrong with him? Could it be that he has not been clear about the situation of the enemy and us in Liaodong in the past few months? With the current situation, how can it be possible to fight in one battle?

It is even more infeasible to switch from defense to offense in an all-round way. Not to mention anything else, just say that the Dongjiang River is the hinterland of Houjin, and its role is to contain it.

Oh, by the way, he's going to take Mao Shuai. Mao Shuai is also the one who holds Shang Fang's sword, is he willing to listen? No, he's not the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation, especially as the head coach, what is he trying to do? .

Also, if we publicize the cowardice of the enemy with great fanfare, wouldn't we tell Houjin about our strategic intentions in advance, and how could we find the main force of the other people for a decisive battle? His tactics are clearly contradictory. ”

When the generals heard this, they all thought about it, and he paused for a moment, and some people couldn't hold back their mouths. As soon as someone opened their mouths, someone immediately chimed in, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Yuan Chonghuan was bent on realizing his calculations, but he never thought that it would be like this, and he was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but go to see Zu Dashou, He Kegang and Zhao Shujiao.

The three of them were also puzzled, and they were puzzled, seeing his gaze sweeping over, knowing that he wanted the three of them to speak, after a pause, Zu Dashou unconsciously drew the sword on his waist, and said first: "It should be said that you are either old friends of the superintendent, or old subordinates of the superintendent, can't you still trust the superintendent?"

If there is no superintendent, where will there be our Guanning army? Where will there be Ning Yuan and Ning Jin? There will be no current good situation in Liaodong.

Hmph, anyway, our family is only the first to supervise the master, if anyone dares to disobey the supervisor, our family will not tolerate mercy. ”

Although what he said was also true, it was not a reason to adopt wrong tactics, and it was quite a bit of a strong rhetoric, not to mention others, even he himself felt it, and couldn't help but look at He Kegang and Zhao Shujiao.

Zhao Shujiao had an idea with him, and hurriedly followed: "Me too, swear to advance and retreat with the superintendent." ”

He Kegang also thought the same, but seeing that Yuan Chonghuan secretly kept nodding at himself, knowing that he was not very satisfied with what the two said, after Zhao Shujiao finished speaking, he immediately answered: "The reason why Liaodong has today's situation is because of Inspector Yuan. On this point, you colleagues should have no objections, right? ”

As he spoke, he turned to the generals and asked, seeing that everyone nodded, and said: "Inspector Yuan arranged it like this, and the last general can't figure it out, but the last general wants Inspector Yuan to go to the platform to listen to the emperor's teachings, there must be something in it, how can we doubt it without permission?" We will act according to the words of the overseer, and if there is something difficult to solve, we will ask the superintendent for instructions. ”

"What he said is reasonable, since it is the intention of the gods, I will wait and act as expected, and if I am confused, I will ask for instructions." While listening to him, the generals went to look at Yuan Chonghuan, but when they saw that he only smiled and nodded, obviously agreeing with what He Kegang said, they all thought secretly and stopped talking.

Yuan Chonghuan saw it, secretly rejoiced, and said: "Since everyone no longer has any objections to strategy and tactics, this superintendent has decided to make the following adjustments to the defense of Liaodong to adapt to the new situation after the adjustment of strategy and tactics......

was talking, but when he saw the Chinese army coming in in a panic, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
