[Apocalypse 403 Page 1]

Yuan Chonghuan misses the days when he was Ning Qiandao very much, although he is now the governor and is older than the previous official, but he feels that he does not have the comfort of being able to make decisions at will back then. I think that although he was not a big official, he had great power, and once overturned a corrupt lieutenant general and cut off his head on the way to inspect, and this hand shocked many generals who were not convinced by him and established his prestige. Of course, for this reason, many people have opinions about him, and in the end, the official was promoted, but the power was not as big as it was back then, didn't this person try to play with power and show his talent when he became an official? No matter how high the rank of an official without power is, that's it.

If you don't have it, it's just that, and if you once have it and then lose it, it's the most painful, so Yuan Chonghuan never forgets to look for opportunities and seize the opportunity to prove himself, and find back the feeling that he once had and lost for a long time. Seeing that the Military Affairs Yuan had now given him this opportunity, Yuan Chonghuan knew that it was his old superior, Sun Chengzong, who had helped him, and he was thinking about how to hold the temporary power for a long time, prove himself and give Sun Chengzong a long face.

If you want to prove yourself, you have to exclude others first, because Daming does not have a tradition of helping each other and making progress together, and the person who can not fall into trouble is your benefactor, and the wall is down, and everyone pushes this thing without risk, but also the survival law of Daming officialdom. From Chen Qiyu's mouth, Yuan Chonghuan knew that there were four people under his command this time, Zuo Liangyu's car battalion of 10,000, Zu Dashou's sailor and marine battalion of 20,000, Xu Chengming's Guizhou army of 20,000, and Wu Xiang's Guanning iron cavalry of 7,000. Chen Qiyu said that Ning Yuan's 20,000 people could not move, and if he took Jinzhou, 10,000 of them would be pulled to garrison Jinzhou.

Lord Yuan pondered carefully, and the Military Affairs Yuan said that it was up to him to decide what to do now, and if he finally established a function, there would not be many people who would compete with him. Although it involves three military regions, none of the overseers of the three military regions have come, this is the emperor's intention, and the people with great power have a great influence, so that the front-line soldiers understand that although these overseers have great power, they are all given by the emperor, and they are nothing without the emperor. It doesn't matter if the soldiers don't understand, but Yuan Chonghuan understands that these overseers can share the merit but can't grab the main credit, and the generals Zhongzu Dashou, Xu Chengming and others are all based on the capitation merit, which is equivalent to doing hard work, and the credit in strategizing is beyond the reach of these people.

Originally, the general soldiers of the three major military regions should have the most credit, but they were too far away, Lu Xiangsheng guarded the mouth of the two rivers in Ningmangui, although they each had 20,000 people and tens of thousands of reserve forces to build castles, but there was still a certain pressure to face the Jurchens and the Mongols nearly 200,000 people. Mao Wenlong himself has been reduced by half, and he was surrounded by Amin and people from Shenyang in Jinzhou, and he was waiting for the imperial court to send troops to save him, and he should be thankful that he could live. In the calculation, there are only a few civilian officials who are more troublesome, Ni Yuanlu, Hou Xun, and Huang Daozhou, the three supervising troops, plus Chen Qiyu and Zhang Xiangan, the two people from the military staff.

The fifth day of the first month has arrived, and Zuo Liangyu, who is the farthest on the fifth day of the first month, has arrived, and the slightly closer ones are Zu Dashou and Xu Chengming, and the two of them arrived on the first day, that is, on the fourth day of the new year. Yuan Chonghuan knew that these people were only temporarily under his command, and he had to rely on these people to start a war, so he was very polite to them, arranged accommodation, food, etc., and was more thoughtful, and set off just waiting for an order. Fortunately, there are many big houses in Ningyuan, and he knew that he wanted to garrison Yuan Chonghuan vacated the moon-shaped Guancheng in advance, and the people who originally lived in it moved to the city and Guanshang.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yuan Chonghuan thought about it properly and asked someone to invite the three supervisors and Zhang Xiangan to discuss the matter, of course, he also invited Zu Dashou, Xu Chengming, Zuo Liangyu and Wu Xiang by the way, in his eyes, these people are just foils and can be ignored. As soon as everyone came, they found that the camp was different, not the customary kind of decoration where one master sat in the middle and the others sat on both sides, but a circle of circles, regardless of whether it was up or down ♀, it was Lord Yuan in the middle school of the Military Affairs Academy, and he found that this kind of non-respectful and humble practice could bring the relationship between each other closer, and it was not strange that the emperor could do so.

Seeing that everyone is here, Yuan Chonghuan first invited the three supervisors to sit inside, these supervisors are all supervising people on behalf of the emperor, not to mention that there is a Hou Sui inside. When Yuan Chonghuan was still a seven-grade county commander, he had no confidence in his future, it was this Hou Sui who discovered and recommended him, so others saw Hou Sui before and after, and Hou Sui was very polite, "For a while, Mao Wenlong has just been fighting for more than ten days, lack of food and medicine, these things have to rely on the imperial court to allocate and can't wait, there are no other places, only Ning Yuan has, others will definitely touch the nail, but as soon as Hou Sui opened his mouth, Yuan Chonghuan immediately sent it in person, it can be seen that Yuan Chonghuan didn't have to say anything to Hou Sui.

Yuan Chonghuan waited for everyone to sit down and first asked Ni Yuanlu: "Lord Ni, the biggest problem this time is whether you can successfully take Jinzhou, two days ago, the officials found that there were some big boxes guarded by Jinyi guards who came with adults, I don't know if it is a siege weapon inside?" Can you successfully take Jinzhou? ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "It is indeed a sharp weapon specially used to attack the city, but according to Lord Zhang's analysis, Jinzhou may not need to be attacked to take Jinzhou, and Lord Zhang said that Jinzhou is likely to be an empty city now." ”

As soon as Ni Yuanlu said this, Yuan Chonghuan could be said to be shocked in his heart, as soon as he heard that he was going to fight Jinzhou, he had already sent his henchmen to reconnoiter in the past few days while waiting for people to arrive, and found that Jinzhou was indeed withdrawing troops, and even the artillery in the city was withdrawn and being transported south. He knew that Li Yongfang was going to retreat and wanted to keep the news secret, and when the time came, it would be a great achievement to let Wu Xiang go to the city in one fell swoop, who knew that Ni Yuanlu said that Zhang Xiangan had analyzed that Jinzhou might be an empty city, which was too surprising and uncomfortable, which was simply sabotaging his plan, but Yuan Chonghuan also glanced at Zhang Xiangan because of this.

Yuan Chonghuan asked unwillingly and lightly: "I don't know how Lord Zhang analyzed that Jinzhou would be an empty city?" ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "It's just empathy, let's think about it, now Huang Taiji is fighting with Lin Dan Khan, if Jinzhou is besieged, it will be difficult for him to spare his hands to support Jinzhou for a while." Amin is holding each other with Mao Wenlong in Jinzhou, and it is also a vicious battle for about a month, more than half of the troops are reduced and unable to fight again, Jinzhou is besieged Amin is impossible to come to the rescue and fight is a taboo in itself, Jinzhou will bloom everywhere as soon as it starts fighting, Huang Taiji will not make such a low-level mistake, otherwise he is not the self-proclaimed Huang Taiji of Tiancong Khan. ”

Yuan Chonghuan nodded and asked, "What do you think will happen to him?" Will there be another way? ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "If I encounter this kind of thing, there are only two ways, knowing that I can't fight, I can only ask for peace and withdraw and transfer, knowing that there are no reinforcements and still have to be trapped in the Jedi, that is a big fool, Huang Taiji is definitely not stupid, and it is not beneficial to ask for any side, Mongolian Lin Dan Khan is robbing a large number of people and livestock to leave, and asking Lin Dan Khan for peace is to let them go, Huang Taiji is absolutely impossible to do this." In that way, Lin Dan Khan will come again when he tastes the sweetness, and the Ao Han Department and the Naiman Department can't keep it, and the next one is the Horqin Department and the Khalkha Department, and if you leave it alone, the hard work of Huang Taiji's father and son for more than ten years will be in vain. ”

Yuan Chonghuan asked: "Huang Taiji can still ask us for peace, hasn't he been talking about peace for the past two years?" ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "A few days ago, I was red-eyed and wanted to cut and kill, and now I can't say anything when I suddenly ask for peace. Do you want to give up all of Liaoning? Besides, the emperor knew in advance that he had already set the conditions for peaceful coexistence, that is, all the Jurchens would retreat to the east of Liubao and north of Sanwanwei, and Lord Yuan said that Huang Taiji would agree? ”

Yuan Chonghuan nodded and asked, "According to Lord Zhang, where will the Emperor Taiji order the Jinzhou defenders to retreat?" ”

Zhang Xiangan said: "If I were Huang Taiji, I would let Li Yongfang retreat to Yizhou, sixty miles to the north, I could get in touch with Huang Taiji who had crossed the Daling River, and I could also go east over Yiwu Lu Mountain to garrison Guangning, but if I couldn't, I could go back east to defend Shenyang." You must know that Shenyang can be said to be extremely empty now, and it is a good time to seize Shenyang, but this is just my thoughts, I don't know what Huang Taiji will think. ”

Yuan Chonghuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart, you are just like this, according to the reconnaissance sentry came back and said that the cannons in Jinzhou were transported south, that is to say, Li Yongfang did not retreat to Yizhou, but retreated to Xipingbao, if this is the case, you can make some fame in it.

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Lord Zhang and Lord Chen are both senior staff members in the Military Staff Department, don't you know what advice you have for this operation?" ”

Chen Qiyu said: "In accordance with the emperor's will, the main task of the two of us and Lord Ni is to cooperate with Lord Yuan to take Jinzhou, and after taking Jinzhou, transfer 10,000 people from Ningyuan to garrison Jinzhou to listen to our command." The emperor said that he would never give up if he took Jinzhou this time, and that he would build Dalinghe Fort and expand it into a city after the beginning of spring, and he would build a side wall and a fire pier between the two. After we were stationed in Jinzhou, Lord Yuan continued to wave his army south to go to Jinzhou to rescue Mao Wenlong Mao's general army, of course, we also need to use troops according to the actual situation, not just listen to orders. ”

Yuan Chonghuan was even more relieved when he heard this, he turned his head to Huang Daozhou and said: "We will go out of the customs tomorrow to capture Jinzhou, and Ningyuan's guards will all rely on the Huang Jian army, but if we take Jinzhou and transfer 10,000 troops to leave, Ningyuan will be a little empty and difficult to defend." ”

Huang Daozhou said: "It doesn't matter, there are still tens of thousands of people in Qiantun, and they can be transferred to Ningyuan in a hurry. ”

Yuan Chonghuan nodded and turned his head to Hou Sui and said: "Engong is the supervisor of the Bohai Naval Region, what is lacking from General Mao can only be transferred from Ningyuan, Engong can go and tell General Mao first, and say that we will go to the rescue immediately, and if you find that the enemy's formation is chaotic, you can also take the opportunity to attack and make meritorious contributions." ”

Hou Sui nodded and said, "I know, Lord Yuan, even if you are busy, I wish you a great contribution to defeating the enemy as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Chonghuan remembered his plan, looked at Hou Sui and felt unbearable, and said: "Engong is thin, Jinzhou lacks medical treatment and medicine, don't stay longer, so as not to affect your body, if you can't do it, send someone to go." ”

Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan cared so much about Hou Sui, everyone praised Yuan Chonghuan in their hearts for being a good person with affection and righteousness, and then arranged the specific details and precautions, and decided to leave tomorrow to break up the meeting.
