"Say, if it makes sense to say it clearly, I'll keep this soldier for you, otherwise ......" Chongzhen snorted coldly.

With Chongzhen's words, the air in the hall suddenly condensed, and continued to become tense and depressed, could this be the dragon power of an emperor? Chen Yue sighed in his heart.

"Back to Your Majesty, the reason why Weichen said that he relied on luck is not a lie, nor is he humble, this is really the case!" Chen Yue smiled, through his current contact and understanding of Chongzhen's past behavior, Chen Yue basically figured out his temper.

Chongzhen's desire to control is extremely strong, he always wants to control everything in his own hands, and he is very harsh on the ministers, and he will be punished if he is not satisfied, so he has changed fifty scholars and fourteen military officials for more than ten years.

Chongzhen has strong self-esteem, and likes to shirk responsibility, whenever the war is unfavorable, he will shift the responsibility to the minister, which is why Yuan Chonghuan Lingchi was executed, and Chen Xinjia was killed.

Chongzhen doesn't have much knowledge of people, as long as the minister can scratch his itch, he will be entrusted with an important position, of course, if the minister is not doing well, Chongzhen will also push the pot on the minister's body.

Now what Chen Yue has to do is to try his best to scratch Chongzhen's itch, so that he can trust himself, and then he can use it to make a big show and quickly expand his strength.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has just been appointed as the Xishan Inspector for more than a month, and there are only two hundred and forty archers under his command who have just been trained, all of whom are recruited from the Xishan people. How can such strength be compared with the battle-hardened elite cavalry of the Eight Banners? This is the reason why Wechen said that it is luck that can win. ”

After listening to Chen Yue's explanation, Chongzhen nodded, as the emperor, he reviewed hundreds of folds every day, and the twists and turns of the war were the focus of the review, and most of the twists and turns about the war ended with the defeat of the Ming army. Chen Yue's subordinates were just some civilians who had just joined the army, and they certainly couldn't be compared with the Mantars.

"So, how did you win?" Chongzhen's interest was aroused at once.

"Wechen sent the night not to collect the investigation to find out that the Mantars captured Fangshan City, although there are only these two hundred recruits under the subordinates, but not to be outdone, the minister is the inspection of the Ming Dynasty, how can you watch the Mantars wreak havoc in the land of the Ming Dynasty? No way, how to fight with the Manchurians, so as to save the people from fire and water! Chen Yue's words were sonorous and powerful, and the image of a good inspection for the country and the people jumped on the paper, and Chongzhen's mood was agitated when he heard it, and his gaze at Chen Yue suddenly softened.

Wei Chen had a plan, and felt that he would take advantage of the narrow and rugged mountain road to ambush the Mantars, so he laid a net on a mountain road, and personally went to Fangshan City to lure the Mantars.

......

Weichen and his subordinates killed a Manchu Tartar cavalry, and it didn't take long for a hundred and ten Manchu Tartar cavalry to chase and retaliate, chasing their subordinates to the mountain pass, but they were too cunning to see through Wechen's ambush, turned around and retreated! ”

After Chen Yuezhi's mouth, a tumultuous feat of booby trapping Mantar was described, and Chongzhen was engrossed in listening to it, and even the eunuchs waiting on the side listened attentively with their ears pricked up.

"Alas!" When he heard that the Mantars had broken through the ambush and retreated, Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh.

After the minister returned to Xishan Town with his troops, he knew that the Mantars would definitely come to retaliate, and the life and death of thousands of people in Xishan Town were in the hands of the minister, and he suddenly felt a huge pressure. Will you retreat into the mountains or fight to the death with the Mantars? The minister's heart is very conflicted.

With the strength in the hands of the ministers, it will definitely not be able to fight with the Mantars, but if you want to escape, the weather is cold, the snow in many places in the mountains has not yet melted, and thousands of people have fled into the mountains, and countless people will definitely die of cold and starvation.

In the end, Weichen decided to fight with the Manchu Tartars, even if he ran out of troops, even if Wechen died on the battlefield, he would have to fight to the death with the Mantars, in order to protect the thousands of old and weak people in Xishan Town. The minister is the patrol of Xishan, and these thousands of people are the people of the minister! ”

Chen Yue added oil and vinegar to the story, desperately smeared grease and powder on his face, describing himself as a loyal minister and righteous man for the country and the people, and all his actions were for the country and the people.

Listening to Chen Yue's words, Chongzhen's gaze became more and more soft.

"The minister himself paid for the food, and led all the people of Xishan to dig countless ditches overnight, in order to limit the Manchu cavalry. Within a few days, the Mantars really came.

......

The battle was extremely fierce, and the city was full of Tartar archers, and the brothers in the city could not show their heads at all, and the Tartars climbed the ladder and easily attacked the city wall. More than a dozen white-armored soldiers wore three-layer armor, the knife could not be cut and the gun could not penetrate, seeing that the city wall was about to be lost, at the critical moment, Liu Neng carried a bag of quicklime and crossed the city wall, and threw out a pass of lime, which was blind at the moment. ”

The ups and downs of the war came out of Chen Yue's mouth, and the tragic stimulation of the battlefield came to his face, so that Chongzhen's eyes did not blink, staring at Chen Yue's mouth.

Chongzhen reviews countless folds every day, and he also knows a lot about the war, but the twists and turns he sees are all war reports after the artistic processing of the ministers, and the description of the war is extremely general, using exaggerated words such as one shot and eroding dozens of miles, and where is the direct stimulation described by Chen Yue.

Chen Yue described the two battles in vivid language, focusing on the ferocity of the Manchu and the fearlessness of his own soldiers, and emphasizing his own wise leadership and calm command, which could defeat the strong with the weak and finally defeat the Manchus.

"It's really not easy for Aiqing to win!" After Chongzhen listened, he said to Chen Yue, this was the first time he said words of understanding for his courtiers.

Wang Chengen, the great eunuch waiting on the side, glanced at Chen Yue deeply, knowing that from this moment on, Chen Yue was already in the emperor's heart.

"Aiqing can defeat the vicious Mantar with two hundred weak divisions without fear of strong enemies, which shows that Aiqing is loyal! But who have heavy troops, in the face of the Manchu Tartars, but only retreat and defend themselves, never dare to take the initiative to fight with the Manchus, let my Ming people cry under the butcher knives of the Manchus, they really deserve to be killed! After listening to Chen Yue's story and thinking about the generals who had tens of thousands of troops, Chongzhen's face became gloomy, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

"Aiqing, if you give you tens of thousands of troops, is it possible to defeat the Mantars and save the people?" Chongzhen looked at Chen Yue eagerly.

Yes? Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at the situation, he was going to lead his troops to fight against the main force of the Mantars! Isn't this a cheat, give me tens of thousands of troops, where is the army, nothing more than the garrison of the Beijing camp and the cities near the capital, but these troops have long been afraid of the enemy like tigers, how dare they fight with the Manchurians? It's really bragging, and I'm trapping myself.
