Zhou Zheng's Songshan City mobilized tens of thousands of people, invested an unknown amount of grain, or built on the basis of Songshan Fort, and it still took more than four months to build a little appearance.

Zu Dashou's right tun is north of the Daling River, there is not much Jinzhou's nearby support, manpower, materials are far from enough, it is impossible to build a big city like Jinzhou.

Therefore, the right tun cannot be defended.

Zhou Zheng was the first to get the news, and while communicating everywhere, passing on the news, and getting their attitudes, he gathered everyone to start discussing.

Cao Bianjiao said: "My lord, the best plan is to retreat, stick to Jinzhou, and build a captivate in Jinzhou many times, and will not touch hard, but only withdraw troops." ”

Everyone listened to the same idea, the right tun could not be defended, and there was no way to rescue, there was no other way but to withdraw.

Chu Jin said: "My lord, according to the speed of Jianyu, you will arrive in Youtun in August at the latest, the time is not short, but it is not long, the supervisor and the governor must make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Liaodong is a place where power is intertwined and the most complicated. Although Sun Chengzong is the governor of Jiliao, he also has to rely on the governor of Liaodong, if Qiu Hejia does not cooperate, Sun Chengzong will lose an arm.

Shangguan Lie answered and said, "My lord, for such a long time, can we ambush Jianyu?" ”

Meng Hezhou glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Crossing the Daling River, Jianyu's scouts can see all corners of Pingchuan, not to mention, the situation in Liaodong is complicated, and some people are afraid that they have already taken refuge in Jianyu." ”

The people around Zhou Zheng have always been more evasive, that is, they know that Zhou Zheng hates those who take refuge in Jianyu, so he never mentions it.

Shangguan Lie came from Tianjin Wei to deliver supplies, and then stayed in the army. Although he is twenty years old, his ideas are wild, he is completely conjectural, he speaks, and he is extremely impulsive, but fortunately he did not cause any trouble, and he is Zhou Zheng's brother-in-law, and everyone also sells a little face, and he has not been harshly criticized.

Zhou Zheng looked at the map in front of him, pondered for a while, and said, "What's the news from the Inspector?" ”

Meng Hezhou said: "The superintendent should rush back from Jizhen and go to Ningyuan to sit in the town, and there will be an order in two days at most." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the map and said: "Now we have to wait for the decision of the superintendent, we will continue to make our plan, if Youtun returns to Jinzhou or us, and Jianyu crosses the Daling River to attack, we must do enough to deal with it." ”

"Yes!" Everyone gathered around and began to deduce the various possibilities and contingency measures.

……

Sure enough, just two days later, Sun Chengzong was still on the way to Ningyuan, and the order spread all over Liaodong, and all of them were in a state of readiness.

And the order given to Zhou Zheng frightened everyone in Songshan City.

Shangguan Lie listened to the order, his expression changed greatly, and he said incredulously: "What is the Inspector doing here?" Do you want us to die? ”

Sun Chengzong's order was not to ask Zu Dashou to withdraw to the south of the Daling River, but to hold on. At the same time, Zhou Zheng led 15,000 people to enter Youtun and defend the city with Zu Dashou!

Meng Hezhou, Chu Jin, Cao Bianjiao and others were as heavy as water, and their brows were tightly wrinkled.

Youtun is undefensible, the city is low and thin, and Jinzhou is separated by the Daling River, it is a small city, a lonely city, once the captives come, there is no need to attack, as long as it is surrounded, the food in the city is exhausted, either fight to the death or it is...... Surrender.

For them, there is no doubt that it is a battle to the death, and a war to the death is equivalent to death in vain!

Everyone was calm, nervous, and worried, and looked at Zhou Zheng after discussing for a while.

Zhou Zheng heard some of their thoughts, sat on the main seat, and said in a deep voice: "Since it is the order of the overseer, we have no choice!" From now on, select 15,000 people, two brothers are here, the younger brother is staying, the father and son are here, the father is staying, those who don't want to go, don't force it, start now, prepare! Also, pay attention to confidentiality and do it quietly! ”

Everyone listened to Zhou Zheng's sonorous words, their expressions were slightly shocked, and they all raised their hands and said, "Obey!" ”

Matsuyama Castle, which had just been built, was mobilized again.

Zhou Zheng stood on the arrow tower, looking north of the Daling River, his expression was calm, but there was a deep worry in his eyes.

He can understand Sun Chengzong's thoughts, if the Ming Dynasty really retreats from Youtun, it is a strategic failure, from then on, the Ming Dynasty will have no chance to further north, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jianyu will completely fall into a passive situation, and there will be no turnaround.

The Ming army can only look north based on the right tun, lose the right tun, the Ming will lose Liaodong forever, and the construction will continue to sit big, one day, will swallow Liaodong, enter the Shanhaiguan, sit and watch the Ming Dynasty change!

That kind of consequence, Sun Chengzong may not dare to think.

But Zhou Zheng knew that the Jianyu in history was like this, and he encroached on Liaodong step by step, so much so that he stole the artifact and entered the Central Plains!

Sun Chengzong was unwilling and unwilling to give up Liaodong because of his foresight and fartherness than others. Zhou Zheng saw farther than him, not from a strategic height, but purely with foresight.

It is because of the foresight that Zhou Zheng must keep Youtun, let Daming gain a foothold in the north of the Daling River, and beat Jianyu's fangs back, so that Jianyu understands that Daming cannot be bullied, and delusions that should not be there should be died early!

Shangguan Qing stood beside him and said softly, "Do you have to go?" ”

Shangguan Qing followed Zhou Zhengnan to fight in the north for a long time, and naturally he could see the danger of Youtun, this time it was a hundred times more dangerous than the battle in the capital, it was a certain death!

Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at her, his expression was a little stiff, he didn't know whether to be righteous or pretending to be sad, and after a while, he said, "You stay here with your brother, dispatch money and food, and be ready to support at any time." ”

Shangguan Qing was already twenty-four years old, and he had retreated a lot, and he held Zhou Zheng's hand with one hand, his voice was crisp and firm, and he said: "If you are born, you will sleep together, and if you die, you will be in the same acupoint." I'm going with you. ”

Zhou Zheng wanted to say something like 'haven't slept together' to let Shangguan Qing stay, but the words were too cruel, the corners of Zhou Zheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't say it.

Just when Zhou Zheng was struggling in his heart, Cao Bianjiao came in a hurry and said, "My lord, Governor Qiu also sent a letter, urging us to go to Youtun immediately, and defend ourselves before Jianyu, and we must not lose anything." ”

Although everyone doesn't like Qiu Hejia, they can't be angry at this time, Zhou Zhengdao: "Order, pull out the teacher tonight, go out day and night, rush to Youtun, Shangguan Lie stays behind, it's best to cover up!" ”

"Yes!" Cao Bianjiao replied loudly.

Liaodong is a chaotic place, and what Zhou Zheng has to do is to try not to let Jianyu know that there are reinforcements in Youtun as much as possible.

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Qing again, saw her eyes firm, gritted his teeth, took her hand, and said in a deep voice: "If you are alive, you will sleep together, and if you die, you will be in the same hole, go!" ”

Shangguan Qing snorted and followed Zhou Zheng downstairs.

On that day, the soldiers of Matsuyama Castle went in and out, some were transporting timber, some were reclaiming the famine, and some were training, and they did not stop until the evening.

This was a common occurrence in Songshan, but no one noticed the constant lack of numbers, and Zhou Zheng quietly gathered his troops at night and marched towards the Daling River.

At the same time, the money and grain from Songshan City and the money and grain from Tianjin Wei were all sent to the sea, from the west of the Daling River, and transported to the Daling River.

At the beginning of July, Jianyu wanted to reorganize the army, raise grain and grass, and set off from Shenyang to Youtun, at least for a month.
