Xiaozhuang and Fu Lin sat side by side on the dragon chair, watching the ministers below arguing.

Xiaozhuang was expressionless, sitting upright, but he looked calm. Fu Lin was a little panicked, his eyes were scared, and he grabbed Xiaozhuang's hand tightly.

Dai Shan and Zilharang did not participate in the debate, and each stood in one place, with different expressions.

The court of Jianyu is still a mixture of Manchu and Han, and the successive deaths of Fan Wenchen and Ning Wanme have led to the leaderlessness of the Hanchen group below, which makes them even more eager to highlight their sense of existence.

Especially if Jianyu is defeated, they will never end well, so they desperately argue and want the throne of Jianyu's national ancestry.

The morale of the Jianlu was a little lost, and in the face of the repeated defeats of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the reality of money, food, and soldiers, they were a little hesitant. But in the face of Hanchen's strong momentum, they also ridiculed each other and quarreled.

I don't know how long it took, Xiaozhuang finally spoke, and said coldly: "Enough!" ”

The group of people below suddenly stopped talking and ordered to bow upwards.

Xiaozhuang looked at this group of people, and his eyes finally fell on Daishan and Jierharang in front. These two people are the ministers of Gu Ming and the **** of the auxiliary government.

Dai Shan's backup was the highest and his identity was the heaviest, he turned around and said, "Queen Mother, Mingren's tactics are very obvious. Liaodong all the way, North Korea all the way, 20,000 cavalry, the total strength of more than 100,000. Judging from the current situation, they are very cautious in their actions, that is, they are advancing gradually. The three armies formed horns, leaned on each other, and came slowly. If you want to use the previous tactics, it won't work, and we can't fight hard, we still need to think about it in the long run. ”

After listening to this, Xiaozhuang looked at Jierharang and said, "Prince Zheng? ”

Dai Shan heard that Xiaozhuang didn't trust him much, and his expression remained unchanged.

Zilharang's expression was indifferent, and he was silent for a while, and said: "Queen Mother, the Ming people obviously don't want to repeat the battle of Salhu, and have adopted the most conservative tactics, so that we can't easily win any way alone." There is no danger to defend in Liaodong, and the road to Shenyang is smooth. My idea is to save Zhao from Wei. ”

Dai Shan, Ji'er Harang is in a high position in Jianyu, the two spoke, and the others did not dare to spray, and listened silently.

Xiaozhuang pondered and said, "What does Prince Zheng mean to bypass their army and go to Jinzhou?" ”

As soon as Xiaozhuang's voice came, Han Chen suddenly came out to object, and his voice said eagerly: "The minister is against it!" If you send troops to Jinzhou, Shenyang will be empty, and the Ming people will quickly advance and attack Shenyang. ”

"By all means, then Shenyang is an empty city!"

"Yes, who is this Wei Wei to save Zhao?"

"Absolutely not, Shenyang can't be without soldiers ......"

A group of people fiercely opposed, if Jianyu's cavalry stayed away from Shenyang, they would be extremely insecure!

"Okay, listen to Prince Zheng." Xiaozhuang looked at the noise below and said again.

When the hall was quiet, Zilharang said: "It's not sliding yet, they can't go north at all, we can send troops first, Zhenbei City or Phoenix City in Dongjiang Town, we can strike first and get the initiative." ”

Dai Shan listened, his expression was silent.

The Ming people could not fight in winter, and they did not expect that like a sudden dispatch of troops, it could indeed deter the Ming Dynasty and contain their strategy and tactics.

It's just that they also have shortcomings, first, they can't attack the city strongly, and they can't afford to withstand losses. Second, their grain and grass cannot withstand loss.

They must now fight a quick battle, stop the determination of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, achieve their strategic goal and end the battle quickly.

Xiaozhuang didn't speak, she looked at Zilharang quietly, thinking about these words.

The others also stopped talking, Zilharang was a veteran of the battlefield, and they had no generals left, and there were not many people who could question his words.

For a moment, there was some silence in the hall.

They all knew very well that the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition was determined and adopted the most cautious tactics, and they had little hope of winning head-on and flank-on.

All they can do now is give it a go!

Victory, the national fortune is still the same! If you lose, the country will be ruined!

After being quiet for a while, Fulin suddenly spoke and said, "Is it really impossible to coexist peacefully?" ”

Xiaozhuang glanced at him fiercely, and Fu Lin looked at her with a stunned expression.

Everyone in the hall looked at Fulin and Xiaozhuang, and their thoughts floated.

It's not that they haven't thought about making peace, but I'd rather be killed, so they don't want to think about it. It is also clear that the Ming Dynasty will not accept a 'simple' peace negotiation unless they make huge concessions.

Some people have a lot of ideas, if they give in here, temporarily keep the national ancestry, go to the country name or something, and they can't accept it from time to time, it's just a false name.

Xiaozhuang looked at the expressions of the people below, calmed his face, and said: "I have no possibility of surrendering in the Qing Dynasty, Prince Zheng, this matter is handed over to you with full authority, and I will give you the 'Ru I personally come' order arrows, and command the eight banners!" ”

Zilharang knelt down violently and said in a deep voice: "Obey! ”

Fu Lin pursed his lips, still a little hesitant.

Dai Shan and the others wanted to speak and stopped, but they didn't speak.

The Ming Dynasty was strong, and they had no way to retreat but a war.

Zilharang got the token, quickly reorganized the army, prepared grain and grass, seemed cautious and cautious, and did not want to leak the news, but the internal and external networks of Shenyang City were full of slaughter, and many people had already packed up and prepared to run away.

Shenyang City benefits the old tavern, there are few people on weekdays, outside are a few Jianyu people drinking and chatting, complaining that they are going to war, and in the secret room of the backyard cellar, Meng Hezhou is meeting people.

"My lord, I got the news from Prince He's Mansion that Ji'er Harang has received the will of Xiaozhuang to lead the Eight Banners Army."

"Grain and grass are also being collected everywhere, and some people are being robbed, and the use of them everywhere is also greatly reduced."

"Shenyang City is going to be under martial law depending on the situation, checkpoints are being set up everywhere, patrolling ......"

"Many of us are actually exposed, what should we do now, we can't leave at all?"

"Our carrier pigeons can't fly out, and other places may also be checked, so we have to be careful."

Meng Hezhou listened carefully, glanced at the people recorded on the side, and said in a low voice: "My lord has already sent news last year, let us be cautious, unnecessary people can evacuate and lurk." Now, there are a few things to do, first, burn everything that might leak and kill some people. Second, the assassination of some people, the list will be given to you later, you have to plan well. Third, we must find a way to destroy Shenyang, especially the army and grain and grass that have been built, and we must do everything possible to start and delay time. When the spring begins, the Northern Expedition of the Dingguo Gong Army is the time for us to make immortal feats! ”

Everyone looked excited and nodded their heads.

They have been lurking here for more than ten years, and for five or six years, they are just waiting for this moment!

Meng Hezhou looked at their expressions, how could he not be excited in his heart, and said, "Then I will assign tasks, and you will mobilize people to take advantage of the chaos to do things." Success or not, we will retreat, lurk, and wait for spring!"

"Yes!" Everyone whispered in unison.

At the head of Jinzhou City, Lu Xiangsheng was dispatching troops and making enough noise, and the 50,000 troops were displayed south of the Daling River.

In Dongjiang Town, the Ming Dynasty's army was also rapidly deployed, with 10,000 troops stationed in Phoenix, which was very close to Shenyang. In the Yalu River, Lushun has 20,000 each, ready to go.
