Wei Bao smiled and didn't answer, waiting for Sun Chengzong to continue.

"You want to get some Jiannu heads to make up the numbers! You may not be able to get more, but if you get a hundred or so Jiannu heads, I believe you can do it, which is also a big and small achievement, good strategy, good strategy! Sun Chengzong nodded again and again, speaking very energetically, with a sarcastic face, feeling that he had guessed Wei Bao's mind ten percent correctly!

Wei Bao really couldn't imagine that Sun Chengzong was such a person, his heart would be so dark, and he would think of himself like this.

Wei Bao, who lost money, respected Sun Chengzong very much for a period of time, and felt that Sun Chengzong was a national hero for the country and the people.

It seems that heroes are also dark and selfish.

"Teacher, don't think about it, I don't convene a meeting, but I can convene Jiliao and the generals of Liaodong to watch the battle! If you are afraid that I will kill the good and take the merit, then how about we kill it now? How about guaranteeing that they are all hot heads, at least thousands of Jiannu heads? Wei Bao said confidently.

"Killed?" If Sun Chengzong wasn't angry, if he was usual, he would definitely be laughed at by Wei Bao, should you kill Jiannu or kill chickens?

"Well, kill now, please watch it live!" Wei Bao Road.

Sun Chengzong was silent, he felt that Wei Bao was crazy, this is crazy, you dare to fight Jiannu with such a few people, and ask everyone to watch it together?

Don't wait, all the generals of Jiliao and Liaodong were made dumplings by Jiannu at one time, right?

Sun Chengzong even doubted Wei Bao's intentions in this move, and wondered if Wei Bao had colluded with Jiannu?

If Jiannu is allowed to wipe out Jiliao and Liaodong generals, Jiannu will gain the land outside the customs in one fell swoop.

It is easy to get a general in a thousand armies, and it takes more than a year to train a soldier to be effective, and to train a general, it is not only time, but also depends on the talent of the general himself, and some people may not be able to train any general even if they have been training for ten or twenty years, or even for a lifetime.

Just like Wu Xiang, Sun Chengzong felt that Wu Xiang could be a general soldier in the rear at best, and he had to be the kind of general soldier who ran errands and only took care of logistics supplies, fighting battles and defending or something, and basically couldn't let Wu Xiang go.

If Jiannu is asked to make dumplings for Jiliao and the generals of Liaodong at this time, where will the court find someone to replace him?

"You want to go out of the Liao River and fight all the way from Yizhou Guangning to Shenyang City in Jiannu? Are you really a slave who is all paper paste? Or Wu Xiang's thousand family members are not family members, and soldiers are not soldiers, do you think they are all gods? Not to mention Wu Xiang's family-like soldiers, they have no combat power at all, even the most elite infantry army in Jiliao may not be able to resist a hundred Jiannu iron cavalry! You can't even beat other people's patrols! Not to mention the army that fought Jiannu and the fortified city of Jiannu! Sun Chengzong asked.

"What? Isn't the teacher afraid? Just now you didn't let me use the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan, and now I only use the guards of Shanhaiwei, do you want to stop it? Are you so afraid that I will fight Jiannu? Wei Bao sneered.

"Hmph, you want to take someone to die, that's your business, since I can't persuade you, I can only wish you good luck Master Wei! But no one is crazy with you, and the generals of Jiliao and Liaodong will not follow you. Sun Chengzong said.

Wei Bao smiled: "Then don't say that the heads I got were all killed by my people in southern Liaoning." ”

When Sun Chengzong heard Wei Bao say this, he was silent again, he must send someone to see it, but he can't go to all the people, "In this way, I will ask the Governor's Mansion to go to a few people, and then each army will send someone to see it, the generals don't need to go in person, go to their cronies to watch the battle, and report truthfully when they go back, it's the same." ”

Wei Bao smiled, shook his head and said: "That's not good, if you want to go, you will go to the generals, otherwise there will be no audience, and we will be very bored with the performance!" ”

"No! The old man will never agree! Sun Chengzong said categorically.

"Master, what if I can keep the generals safe?" Wei Bao asked.

"Haha, you pull it down, you have a thousand people, whether you can guarantee their own safety is a problem, who else is guaranteed?" Sun Chengzong shook his head and said.

"The teacher may have misunderstood, if I fight all the way by land, attack the city and fight to Shenyang City, I will need at least two or three hundred thousand troops. Maybe two or three hundred thousand troops may not be enough, do you think I will be so stupid? Wei Bao laughed.

"So where do you want to start?" Sun Chengzong asked following Wei Bao's words.

"Of course, take the waterway, go directly to the sea, enter the Liao River, and attack again on the outskirts of Shenyang!" Wei Bao smiled slightly.

Sun Chengzong got up and went to the edge of the map, there was a huge map in his meeting hall, this was a map of the Ming Dynasty, but it was too big, it was divided into four parts, and he looked at the part outside the gate.

Just one part of it is enough to be two people tall.

"You mean to go out to sea from here, enter from here, and directly attack the city of Shenyang, where Jiannu is built? I know your ships in Weijiazhuang are loaded with artillery, but how far can your guns hit? Sun Chengzong pointed to the map and asked, "Shenyang City is less than twenty miles from the shore, and your cannon can still enter Shenyang City from the river?" ”

"Then you don't care, teacher, you won't even be afraid of taking a boat, will you? Jiannu doesn't have a big sea ship that can compete with us, this is foolproof, right? Wei Bao laughed.

Sun Chengzong snorted, and he really couldn't find an excuse to excuse himself.

"Wei Bao, why are you so sure? I know what you think, you definitely want to use the elite men and horses of your Heaven and Earth Society to pretend to be the soldiers of the Mountains and Seas to fight! This is your personal soldier, I can't control it, but if you really want to kill thousands of slaves, how many people do you have to move? Fifty thousand? Lakh? Have you asked so many generals and officials to see how powerful your Heaven and Earth Society is now? Are you trying to show us your strength? Sun Chengzong asked suspiciously.

Sun Chengzong didn't know how many men Wei Bao had now, and it was estimated that Wei Bao might have no problem raising an army of 10,000 people.

Moreover, Sun Chengzong knew that Wei Bao's people were very capable of fighting, and their combat power was by no means lower than the elite of Jiliao and Liaodong, otherwise they would not be able to stand firm in southern Liaoning!

"Master, you think too much, I won't dispatch more than 2,000 people, no more than 20 boats, and they are all people from Shanhaiwei, my people are all ordinary people, how can I send troops to fight Jiannu, so why do you need the court to raise so many soldiers and horses? Simply organize our own troops to fight against Jiannu in various places. Wei Bao laughed.

Sun Chengzong knew that Wei Bao would not admit it, and even if Wei Bao used his people to mix into the soldiers of Shanhaiwei, Wei Bao would definitely not admit it, so Sun Chengzong did not dwell on this question, "Two thousand people? Do you dare to fight Jiannu with 2,000 men and horses? And to cut off at least a thousand heads of Jiannu? ”

"That's right!" Wei Bao replied categorically.

Although the sea, land and air coordinated operations, Wei Bao is also the first time to apply, and I don't know what effect it can achieve, but Wei Bao does not have much pressure, at most it fails.

He was a dignified superintendent of the army, and took the initiative to take people to fight Jiannu, and he was responsible for the losses, and he didn't ask the court for a tael of silver and a grain of grain and grass from the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, who could accuse him of anything?

"Well, as you wish! Xiaobao! If you think about it yourself, Haikou is easy to boast, but if you can't do it when the time comes, you just knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach! You are not a flat-headed ordinary person now, you are the dignified Ming Dynasty Supervisor, the director of Ji Liao and all the soldiers and horses officials of Liaoxi and Liaodong, representing the Ming Dynasty! If not, have you thought about the consequences? Sun Chengzong threatened.

Wei Baoqi said: "What consequences? ”

"Discredited, others will say that the prison army is grandstanding, selling fame and reputation, and is not ashamed to speak and boast! Won't this have an impact on the reputation of the Ming court and His Majesty? "Sun Chengzong is a serious way.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded: "Teacher, teacher, I obeyed you!" You give people a hat, you are much more powerful than the people in our Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple! ”

Sun Chengzong's face turned red and snorted coldly.

"Otherwise, I'll make a bet with you, if I don't do it, I'll resign myself from my position as a prisoner! If I do it, you have to help me elect Lord Wu Xiang, the commander of Shanhaiwei, who has made great contributions, as the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, how about it? Wei Bao said.

When Sun Chengzong heard this, his eyes flickered wildly, and he did not answer immediately.

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Wei Bao's appetite to be so big, and he actually wanted to support Wu Xiang as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan is Jiliao, the largest of all the general soldiers in Liaoxi and Liaodong, not only has the most troops, but also Shanhaiguan controls the throat of the entire Ming Dynasty, and all the materials inside and outside the country must pass through Shanhaiguan!

This alone is enough to control the economic lifeline of the north.

"You win, and the benefits go to you. If you lose, even if you take the initiative to resign from the post of superintendent, what is the benefit to the old man? Everyone knows that you are my disciple, my disciple has lost his official position, and my face as a teacher is bright," Sun Chengzong asked rhetorically.

"It's good for the teacher! If I win this battle, no matter whether the teacher supports it or not, I will have a great say in the selection of the Shanhaiguan general soldier, and I don't need the support of the teacher! This should be clear to the teacher! Because if I win, I am a person who has no military power, has not participated in the military, and is only fifteen years old, a person like me, who can achieve such a great victory in a few days after coming to Liaodong, is better than the teacher who has been operating in Liaodong for a few years, how will the imperial court view the teacher, and how will Your Majesty view the teacher? Even if it's the teacher himself, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to continue to stay in the position of Jiliao Governor, right? If I fail, I will definitely resign, and I will personally go to the capital to explain to His Majesty and Wei Zhongxian, the difficulties of Liaodong, the difficulties of Jiliao, and the importance of the teacher! I am confident that Your Majesty will listen to me, just as Your Majesty will arrange for me to come to supervise the army outside the Guanwai! Isn't that good for the teacher? Wei Bao said.

Sun Chengzong was silent again, and only said after a while: "You will resign and I believe, but will you help me speak, how can I believe you?"

"I have a written recital here, if I lose, the teacher can first publicize it to the generals and officials in Shanhaiguan! And then send it to the imperial court, this is my own handwriting, with the big seal of my prison army on it, I can't hit myself in the mouth, right? Moreover, I don't want my mentor to be bad! I lost my position in the prison army, at most it will be difficult to be promoted in the last few years, that's all, anyway, I'm still young, and I will have a chance in the future! If you can't disarm as I told my mentor, and if you can't turn the outside of Shanhaiguan into a purely military in-depth zone, then it is better to continue with the strategy of shrinking the turtle and defending everywhere! At most, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty keeps making up for the big hole in Liaodong. Therefore, no matter whether I win or lose, I will be beneficial to the Ming court! Isn't this enough? Wei Bao said angrily, and a wave of righteousness arose.

At this moment, even Sun Chengzong felt the heroic righteousness in Wei Bao's body, he was not only able to make money, but also patriotic, and his mind was also very sensitive, and it was really difficult to teach Sun Chengzong to really hate Wei Bao.

Although Wei Bao is now inclined to Wei Zhongxian's camp and has a hostile relationship with him, Sun Chengzong believes that Wei Bao is indeed for the Ming Dynasty, and Wei Bao is unlikely to harm himself, after all, it is a teacher-student relationship, Wei Bao harms himself, and will be criticized by the world, Wei Bao is such a smart person, it is impossible not to understand.

"Alright! Just do as you say, but you take this back! The old man is not so ungraceful that he will doubt his disciple's words. Sun Chengzong handed Wei Bao's notebook back to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao didn't answer, "Take it, teacher!" I don't like to take back the things I took out, and I feel that my teacher has been indifferent to me recently, and even a little hostile, I don't like this feeling, and I want to go back to the time when my teacher took good care of me and was very warm. ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he was slightly touched, although the time he spent with Wei Bao was very short, and he was not as deep as his relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, but it would be false to say that he had no feelings at all.

"Xiaobao, when the teacher accepted you, he really didn't care much, but he just regarded you as a big family in Liaoxi, and wanted to get some silver and grain from you, that's all." Sun Chengzong said.

"I understand." Wei Bao laughed.

"As a teacher, I can assure you that if you win this time, I will resign immediately, and before I resign, I will try to ensure that Wu Xiang is on top!" Sun Chengzong said angrily: "As a teacher, I actually agree with your opinion in my heart, the difficulty of the Liaodong Tun soldiers is too great, and it is a drop in the bucket, not only is it not enough to supply the soldiers, but it is farming for Jiannu!" Moreover, the small amount of grain collected is not enough for the local generals to share the spoils, which is really useless. If you can defeat Jiannu with 2,000 people, you can rest assured that you will leave even if you are a teacher! ”

Wei Bao nodded, this time, the atmosphere of the conversation with Sun Chengzong finally improved, and the relationship between the two seemed to have been repaired in some way, mainly to spread it out and find a balance.

Although gambling is not good, sometimes, when there is a stalemate, gambling is not necessarily a bad thing, just like a child quarrels, rock-paper-scissors can come in handy.

Adults are often inferior to children.

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he walked to the brazier and burned the playbook that Wei Bao gave him in front of Wei Bao.

"Teacher!" Wei Bao was a little moved this time, the old man was still a downright person after all.

Wei Bao believed that if he gave Wei Zhongxian something similar, Wei Zhongxian would definitely take it as a handle.

Therefore, Wei Bao was extremely cautious when interacting with Wei Zhongxian, and did not leave a word.

"Xiaobao, you don't have to say it, when are you going to do it?" Sun Chengzong said.

"It depends on the wind!" Wei Bao stretched out his hand.

Sun Chengzong was amused by Wei Bao and smiled, "Do you think you are Zhuge Liang, is it possible that you are still planning to borrow the east wind or something, and you can't burn Jiannu?" ”

"The terrain in the north is flat, who can be burned by fire?" Wei Bao smiled: "Within ten days, you may do it at any time." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the bet we made? Have you really thought about using 2,000 people to fight Jiannu? And to kill thousands of enemies? Sun Chengzong confirmed again.

"Think about it, that's it!" Wei Bao replied firmly!

Wei Bao secretly thought, Old Sun, you don't know anything about the strength of hot weapons, and you are still stuck in the number of soldiers, this kind of cold weapon thinking.

The size of combat power is not calculated in this way, it is not a math problem.

This is still ancient times, and in modern times, an army of 10,000 people can repel hundreds of thousands of people and capture the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In modern times, if you go down with a button, the earth may be gone.

Seeing that Wei Bao answered so resolutely, Sun Chengzong originally wanted to persuade Wei Bao, thinking that Wei Bao had a great future, just a few years of mediocrity, as long as he didn't make a mistake and had the qualifications to gild in Liaodong for a while, his career would be smooth sailing in the future.

But Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Bao and seemed to be iron-hearted, so he didn't bother to say anything.

And Sun Chengzong also wants to make a break soon.

Cheng Tian was impeached and coerced by the Wei family, and Sun Chengzong was also very uncomfortable in the position of Jiliao Governor.

Sun Chengzong is a loyal supporter of the defense theory, and it is impossible to do anything great, he has always regarded Jiannu as his own credit because he was satisfied with not attacking the city.

But think about it occasionally, year after year, Liaodong and Liaoxi, Jiliao, are getting poorer and poorer, and they can't even stand still, and they are still weakening, and watching Jiannu become stronger and stronger, no one knows this mood and this pain better than him Sun Chengzong himself.

Leaving the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, Wei Bao hurriedly arranged.

In fact, there is nothing to arrange, when he inspected Weijiazhuang before, Wei Bao had already made Tan Madman ready for this battle, and when the time came, he would send someone to send a letter, let the ship sail to Shanhaiguan, and pull someone to pull it out.

It's like a trip.

It's just that this trip is a bit expensive.

The immature thermal weapons technology will increase the cost dozens of times, and the results are not great.

In particular, Wei Bao was not sure about the specific results, and a round of shelling passed, killing 180 Jiannu, Wei Bao was confident.

What if Jiannu saw that he could not break through the artillery blockade and retreated?

So I can only pray that Jiannu is like a brainless soldier in the game world, and he dies and rushes up again.

It's a pity that now after more than a year of confrontation with the treasure army, Jiannu already knows something about thermal weapons.

It is estimated that that is unlikely to be the case.

After Wu Xuexia heard Wei Bao's plan, she was surprised, "Husband, is it too radical this time?" ”

Zhang Meiyuan also looked incredulous, but didn't say anything.

Wang Qiuya, Princess Zhenming, Yang Xue and Xiong Xin'er are the same, usually Wu Xuexia speaks, unless they are particularly mature, they will not talk casually.

"It's settled! It doesn't matter if you are radical or not. Wei Bao was very relaxed, "If I had a choice, I would rather stay in the capital than come to Liaodong, it's cold here, and the pressure is great, don't you want things to be seen soon?" This battle is won, and the next thing is relatively simple, as long as Sun Chengzong leaves, your father gets the position of the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and my voice in Jiliao and Liaodong will be comparable to that of the superintendent! ”

Wu Xuexia sighed secretly, thinking that her husband really looked down on her father, and did her father have the ability to be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Wu Xiang heard about Sun Chengzong's bet with Wei Bao that day, and hurriedly came to Wei Bao.

That day, Wei Bao said that he would support him to become the chief soldier of Shangshan Customs, but Wu Xiang thought that Wei Bao was just planning and had not acted quickly.

didn't expect that Wei Bao not only acted, but also used such an iron-blooded way.

Originally, Wu Xiang thought that Wei Bao was nothing more than bribing Wei Zhongxian to let the imperial court appoint him.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, you are too reckless now." As soon as Wu Xiang saw Wei Bao, he couldn't hold his breath and counted down.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, "Dad, take a sip of hot tea first, the autumn cold is biting." ”

"Where do I have the leisure to drink tea? Have you ever thought that if you lose this trip, do you really have to resign and leave? How big of a joke does this have to be? Also, 2,000 people fought Jiannu, and thousands of Jiannu had to be killed, and the heads had to be cut off, which army in Daming could do? That's not possible, your soldiers and horses in Weijiazhuang are all heavenly soldiers and generals? If you have such great ability, wouldn't it be a great merit for you to destroy Jiannu yourself? Wu Xiang said.

"Destroying a thousand people is not the same as destroying hundreds of thousands of Jiannu!" Wei Bao smiled: "Dad, don't worry. ”

"Can I not be in a hurry? You kid, you're really reckless this time! And there is a situation where there is no win or lose! I really don't know what you think. What a bright future you have! With His Majesty's appreciation, at the age of fifteen, he is already a fourth-grade official, and he should stay outside the customs for a year or two, trying to change to a better position, not to mention being promoted to the third grade, at least he can guarantee that he will be a prefect or something in a rich place, right? But you're making a fuss now. Wu Xiang sighed.

Wei Bao was speechless, and his father-in-law was just like this, no wonder Sun Chengzong was very optimistic about Wu Xiang, you pointed to Lao Tzu as the prefect of a rich place?

Lao Tzu is the yamen of the governor of coastal defense, at least it is also the yamen of the second grade, right?

However, Wei Bao knew very well that Wu Xiang never thought that Wei Bao could be the head of the Yamen, the governor of Shanghai Defense, and a teenager was promoted to the second grade, which was not the difficulty of ascending to the sky, but the difficulty of breaking the sky.

"Dad, don't say anything else, just wait, I'm more than fifty percent sure, and you should be arranged to watch the battle at that time, just know when you see it, by the way, you let people prepare two thousand sets of clothes for me, and let people send Weijiazhuang to!" I worked. Wei Bao said.

"Clothes are easy to do, let people send them tomorrow! It's both old and new, right? Wu Xiang asked.
