Sun Chengzong does not have much pressure in Liaodong, he knows very well that with the strength of the current Houjin, he will not be able to break through the Liaodong defense line at all, his top priority is to choose a person for the emperor and the court to guard Liaodong when he returns to his hometown, in the eyes of the world, Yuan Chonghuan, who had won a great victory over Houjin, should be the best choice, but Sun Chengzong is very clear that Zhu Youzhen is not optimistic about Yuan Chonghuan, otherwise he will not be transferred back to Beijing as the secretary of the military department, in the eyes of outsiders, entering the cabinet, in charge of the military department, is already a very human minister, But he has always been by the emperor's side, Zhu Youzhen can control Yuan Chonghuan very well, but it is different in Liaodong, which already shows that Zhu Youzhen has a little distrust in Yuan Chonghuan's heart.

And Sun Chengzong doesn't think that Yuan Chonghuan is the best candidate to guard Liaodong, he understands Yuan Chonghuan, although Yuan Chonghuan has great talent, but some talent and arrogance, in Liaodong, a place where fierce generals are like clouds, he can't look down on anyone, and the relationship with Phi Dao Mao Wenlong is extremely bad, even if it is Mangui and other Liaodong veterans, he has offended a lot, in Yuan Chonghuan's opinion, all the arrangements he made are right, Ning Yuan's victory proves that he does have this ability, but if time goes by, something big will happen in Liaodong, Sun Chengzong expected it to be good, in history, Yuan Chonghuan finally moved the knife against Mao Wenlong of Phi Dao, causing the Ming army of Phi Dao to panic, mutiny, and take refuge in Huang Taiji, which is to weaken himself and strengthen the enemy, which is also the lowest mistake made by the commander.

Sun Chengzong attaches great importance to the person is Zhao Shujiao, Zhao Shujiao can be in power during the eunuch party, without twists and turns, is also a kind of official ability, and Zhao Shujiao is very familiar with the affairs of Liaodong, is also a person who pays attention to the overall situation, some prestige, strict command of troops, but also has a gentle side, it can be said that there is a commander's basic quality, the most important point, is also the biggest difference between him and Yuan Chonghuan, he is better at listening to the opinions of others, which in the face of a larger strategic choice, but also knows how to change and judge the situation, just rely on these, Even if he doesn't have Yuan Chonghuan's ability to command the troops, it is not bad at all, or even better.

And Sun Chengzong also said good things for Zhao Shujiao more than once in the recital for Zhu Youzhen, if he didn't understand Sun Chengzong's personality, Zhu Youzhen felt that Sun Chengzong must have received the benefits of Zhao Shujiao, so he would use all his methods to say good things for Zhao Shujiao.

Of course, for Zhao Shujiao, Zhu Youzhen still understands some, Zhao Shujiao, the word Xilong, Shanxi people, Chongzhen two years, into the king of Beijing, the Houjin army from Da'ankou to the south, Zhao Shujiao led the army westward, three days and nights to reach the Santun camp, but the chief officer did not dare to let Zhao Shujiao in, had to go west again, in Zunhua and the Houjin Azig army fierce battle, surrounded by the left wing of the four banners and Mongolian soldiers, the arrow fell from the horse, and died in battle, Zhu Youzhen heard about it, extremely sad, held a funeral ceremony for him, and established an ancestral hall public sacrifice, posthumously presented to the prince and the princeIn fact, Zhao Shujiao died in the second year of Chongzhen, which had a great impact on the situation in Liaodong, as the saying goes, the three armies are easy to obtain, and good generals are hard to find, this Zhao Shujiao is so, he is a knowledgeable general, honest, brave, and very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Mangui and called the good generals, but since the death of Mangui and Zhao Shujiao, the soldiers of the Liaodong system can no longer find a spiritual guide, and it is more difficult to manage.

And in the apocalypse years, Sun Chengzong has a preference for Zhao Shujiao, when the eunuch party has not yet gained power, Sun Chengzong has been recommending Zhao Shujiao, so that he is tired of the rank of the chief soldier, after the battle of Ningyuan, and added the title of Pingliao general, after the fall of Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan is in charge, and Yuan Chonghuan gets along well, it is also a smooth ride, if there is no Chongzhen two years of the war, his prestige will never be lower than Yuan Chonghuan Sun Chengzong these people.

Zhu Youzhen has always wanted to be important to Zhao Shujiao, and has always hoped that Yuan Chonghuan will say good things about him in front of him, but Zhu Youzhen was very surprised, Yuan Chonghuan has been in Beijing for a long time, and he has never mentioned Zhao Shujiao, on the contrary, Sun Chengzong, who returned to Liaodong, has always spoken well to Zhao Shujiao, indeed, this made Zhu Youzhen a little surprised.

Jinzhou City.

Although it was late at night, Zhao Shujiao was still a general patrolling the city wall, Daishan's offensive was not as good as a few days ago, the reinforcements had not arrived, and the Houjin army was unstable, these Zhao Shujiao still felt it, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, because the situation was a little suspicious, Huang Taiji was not an ordinary person, how could he make the military spirit of this army unstable, there must be something strange in it, of course, Zhao Shujiao did not know that Mang Gurtai went to the pass.

Although I felt a little suspicious in my heart, Zhao Shujiao still smelled the fighter plane in it, the Jurchens were all arrogant to the bone, they all thought that the once powerful Ming army had been broken by them, and they would only hide on the city wall, and the Ming Iron Cavalry, which once crisscrossed Liaodong, was also injured by the Jurchens, and no longer had the prestige of the year, whether it was the Mongols or the Ming people in the entire Liaodong, no one would be their opponent, even if the military was unstable now, but the arrogance was still there, Zhao Shujiao knew that the Jurchens were very strong, But he understands one thing better, the proud soldiers will be defeated, and the mourning soldiers will be victorious.

Although the Ming army was not a mourning soldier, the Houjin army was an arrogant soldier, an army that was still extremely proud in the face of a difficult situation, which was their fatal wound.

Zhao Shujiao looked at the general behind him, and the deputy general said: "Dai Shan, I can't fight anymore." “

"General, although Jiannu didn't take advantage, our army also suffered heavy casualties, but I don't know, how is the battle situation in Ningyuan?" An adjutant general replied.

"Lord Sun is in Ningyuan, we don't have to worry, as long as we concentrate on dealing with Dai Shan, we can do it?" Another general also said that this general is also from Shaanxi, and Zhao Shujiao is a fellow villager, named Yang Mengbo, who has no knowledge, but he is brave in battle, not afraid of death, and is also a confidant under Zhao Shujiao.

"What Meng Bo said is reasonable, what we have to do is to concentrate on dealing with Dai Shan, one of the four great Baylors of Dai Shan, not a simple person, he can't attack for a long time at this time, he is upset, it is my opportunity, these days, General Ben has been looking for an opportunity, can he hit Dai Shan hard, force Houjin to retreat, but has been reluctant to take risks, is afraid that Houjin reinforcements are nearby, but at this time, it seems that General Ben is too worried." Zhao Shujiao said softly.

These words taught by Zhao Shuo made the generals behind him shocked, this, what does this general mean? Is it difficult to abandon the city and fight, this, this must not be a plan, of course, there are some generals, full of excitement, nested in the city wall, and they have long been unable to withstand the anger.

"General, don't, Jiannu is brave, that generation of good is the Houjin four Baylor, leading the troops into the gods, we will abandon the city and fight, if defeated, then to the Liaodong defense line and what is the situation, will become Liaodong, the sinner of the Ming Dynasty, I hope the general will think twice, don't act rashly." A staff general opened his mouth and said, this staff general is named Lou Zhanxiang, and Zhao Shujiao is in general, he is a martial artist, ranked in the position of a general, and has followed Zhao Shujiao for four years, and he is also deeply reused by Zhao Shujiao.
