683 Coping Strategies

The emperor is really discussing the major event of the war against the captives, he himself is good, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, so he deserted.

This is the common voice of the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace, as for those who are far away, they naturally don't know, Wang Chengen, Liu Xingzuo, who spread the voice, and they will not tell them that the emperor is in a daze. The few of them, at best, are a little strange, why no information has been transmitted.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the faces of the courtiers below, and guessed a little bit of their thoughts. I guess I've been contemplating for too long! Hehe, who called me the emperor, what's wrong with being in a daze, not to mention that I'm not in a daze!

Thinking about it casually, he suddenly smiled and said: "I have decided, no matter what conspiracy and tricks Jianyu has, we Daming only need to follow the most favorable way for Daming and the least unfavorable for Jianyu!" ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing after being in a daze, which means that he has been thinking about it. In this way, the emperor is to blame!

Wen Tiren thought so, so he asked first: "Your Majesty, what is the most unfavorable way to build a prisoner and the most beneficial way for me to be enlightened?" ”

The other courtiers also paid attention, and they didn't know what good idea the emperor had come up with?

So, Emperor Chongzhen said his thoughts again, and then emphasized: "Don't forget, Aiqing, the most lacking thing in Jianyu is food, and when the army moves, how much grain and grass will be consumed, Bi Qing should know this......"

Bi Ziyan nodded, thinking in his heart, Jianyu wants to consume food, but I also need to consume food! But fortunately, this time I snatched a lot of food from Jianlu, and it can be regarded as using Jianyu's grain to consume Jianlu's food, which is okay!

“…… Therefore, no matter what happens on the Jinzhou side, the battle of Gaizhou, we have to fight it, and the new army is my strong army of the Ming Dynasty, so it will be used here. And after Jianyu was recovered by my Ming Dynasty in Gaizhou, he would inevitably have to fight back, otherwise when my Ming Dynasty gained a firm foothold, the consequences would not be something that Jianyu could bear! Emperor Chongzhen's tone was resolute and categorical, "As for Jinzhou, since it is delivered to the mouth, then it is better to eat it." I don't believe it, so I built that little bit of family foundation, how can I support it to fight on two fronts! ”

After he finished saying this, Cao Huachun immediately played: "Lu Zhongcheng thinks that Your Majesty's strategy is also interlocking with the previous strategy, and he dares to guarantee that Jianyu will not be able to afford to attack Gaizhou, let alone send troops to attack Jinzhou!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng was the executor of a series of previous battles against the captives, so he knew how hard those battles would deal a heavy blow to the prisoners. It was also for this reason that he was the first to express his approval.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao also immediately expressed his intentions, saying that he resolutely supported the emperor's decision, wouldn't he just hold Gaizhou, there is no problem!

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they immediately imagined that according to what the emperor said, maybe by waiting until next year, not only Jinzhou would be recovered, so they became excited. For them, the recovery of Liaodong seems to be more hopeful than imagined and will be realized sooner!

Ning Yuan, Sun Chengzong and others were listening to Liu Wang's relay of the content of the imperial meeting, and Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He remembered that when he was before, he didn't want Cao Bianjiao to give up his official position in the Guanning Army, leave his protection, and participate in the selection of the new army. It was Cao Bianjiao who had to go, insisted on his own opinions, and finally forced himself to agree.

Now it seems that his nephew still has a vision! Although he was already the chief soldier of one side, he didn't dare to say anything at this imperial meeting. And his nephew is constantly talking, so compared to this, the Cao family is better than the blue!

In the midst of his distraction, several points of agreement had been reached at the Imperial Council.

First, the Battle of Gaizhou was launched and held by the New Army as usual in accordance with the original plan.

Second, on the Jinzhou side, the Dongjiang Army was stationed. This winter, the Dongjiang Army no longer shrank on the island for the winter, but put the main force in Jinzhou.

Third, if Jianguo besieged Gaizhou but did not attack, and used its main force to attack Jinzhou, then the Guanning army was dispatched to cooperate with the new army of Gaizhou to attack inside and outside, and in one fell swoop to break the enemy besieging Gaizhou, and the troops pointed to Liaoyang, then Jianguo would definitely come to the rescue, and the siege of Jinzhou would be relieved.

Fourth, if Jianyu left Jinzhou alone and only concentrated the main force to attack Gaizhou, if necessary, on the Jinzhou side, Lu Xiangsheng could lead the hussar battalion to respond. The Guanning army can also be dispatched to respond to Gaizhou, so that Jianyu can attack the city with all his might.

This response plan may not be easy to implement if it were replaced by the previous one, and it is very likely that it will become a mere talk on paper. But now there are sky-level secret agents, who can make the three places communicate in real time, and the three places can cooperate closely with each other, and this response plan has the possibility of real implementation!

The Imperial Council in the Mandarin Palace, which was the main venue, finally ended with the decision of this plan. When the ministers dispersed, everyone was excited. No matter who can see it, as long as the purpose of this campaign can be achieved, it will be able to effectively consume the strength of the captivity, and next year's war against the captives will be greatly beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the recovery of Liaodong, which is no longer just a matter of words!

Emperor Chongzhen watched them all exit the hall, but he actually didn't say anything about the hole cards. The movements on Jianyu's side, Qian Fugui's side can also inquire about it somewhat. If the battle really doesn't go well, you can also use means to force Horqin to stab Jian Yu in the back.

But it was a last resort, and he didn't want to do it just in case. After all, it was mainly Hai Lanzhu who was close to Daming on Horqin's side, and Na Buhe's attitude was still a little wavering, and he didn't really fall to Daming, so he could be used by Daming.

With a countermeasure, the new army also arrived in Lushun for rest, and the Dongjiang army, which arrived in advance, drove to Jinzhou and began to consolidate the city defense. He went out everywhere at night to erase the traces of Jianyu in Jinzhou and shield Jianyu's spying on Jinzhou.

After the feedback to Shenyang, Huang Taiji was naturally secretly proud, and thought that the Ming army had fallen into his calculations, so he ordered the Jianyu on the side of Xiaoshan not to stimulate the Ming army.

And the Ming army is preparing for the battle before attacking Gaizhou, which will be a large-scale battle, and the preparations must be sufficient, the personnel must be in place, the materials must be in place, and so on. During this period, there were undoubtedly many conflicts with Jianyu.

For a while, Liaodong's side seemed to calm down. It's just that both sides know that it's just the calm before the storm! In this confrontation, Huang Taiji hid his purpose to deal with domestic political opponents, while Emperor Chongzhen also concealed his intention to improve the status of military generals.

The wheels of history, rolling forward!
