"Huh?"

Zhao Lide and the others all opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't believe such words for a while.

"The governor thinks that the eastern captives are not worthy of a battle, together with the defenders of the forts, there are 140,000 royal divisions in Guangning, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers, all of whom are the elite of each town, and there are only more than 60,000 people in the eight banners of the captives, and the maximum number of soldiers is 30,000.

Zhao Libei said: "The Senator also thinks so? ”

The military senator smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Wang Huazhen has super self-confidence, usually does not read the book of soldiers, but everyone admits that he is decisive, bold, and often speaks big, although the acquaintance despises, but also asks him to encourage the morale of the army, before Shenyang and Liaoyang were lost, Guangning only more than 1,000 soldiers, when the people in the city were panicked, Wang Huazhen relied on this courage and strength to clean up the remnants, gather soldiers and horses, and finally keep Guangning, and gather 10,000 soldiers, and because of this, the Donglin Party did not encounter too much opposition when recommending him...... Although Wang Huazhen is actually talentless, the Donglin Party believes that he is better than others.

Nowadays, the captives are very urgent to attack the forts, and the forts in Hexi are much narrower than the forts in Liaodong, and it is difficult to hold on, but as long as the troops are gathered in Guangning, the loss of the forts has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Everyone went out of the house and looked at the road on the other side of the hall, where the honor guard was very solemn, more than 100 soldiers were discharged from the hall all the way to the outside of the ya, and the governor's three military commanders ordered the banner to flutter high, the wind was blowing, and the flag kept fluttering in the air.

After waiting for another half an hour, everyone saw that the generals had withdrawn one after another, all of them with bright armor and swords.

Zhao Lide paid attention to the situation of Zu Dashou, and saw that this person had a flat expression, behaved as usual, and did not have too many special expressions.

The rest of the lieutenant generals, staff generals, and guerrillas, some of them were happy, some were full of melancholy, and some were mixed with joy and sorrow.

Everyone nodded secretly, judging from the reactions of the generals, there was at least the most basic morale in this battle, unlike when Yang Hao of Liaodong was about to go on the expedition, the generals dissuaded one after another, and the morale was very low.

After the generals came out, everyone saw Wang Huazhen, who was wearing a red robe, sending out Gao Bangzuo and Fang Zhenru and other civil officials, and Wang Huazhen bent down slightly under the dripping eaves.

The soldier senator said: "Okay, I'll go to report to the military gate, everyone wait." ”

Not long after, a military attache came over and asked Zhao Lide and others to come over.

"Fried flowers, do you wait for you?"

As soon as they met, Wang Huazhen asked.

Zhao Lide said: "I haven't seen it, not only have I not seen it, but I also insulted us and others, saying that it is a fool to talk about a dream, I am incompetent, and I beg to be a teacher in Mongolia......"

"Enough!" Wang Huazhen's face was a little ugly, and she brushed her sleeves to stop Zhao Lide's words.

After half a ring, Wang Huazhen said angrily: "After all, Beiyu is also a Tartar, and it is inevitable that there is no credit." ”

Although he said this, Wang Huazhen's eyes were still a little confused, he really couldn't figure out why Fried Flower and Hudun Rabbit had repeatedly assured him that they would send troops, and 400,000 cavalry could be used by the Ming Dynasty, as long as he raised hundreds of thousands of taels of military salaries, but when it was really needed, these northern captives were so rude.

Zhao Lide bowed down and said, "Do you want to try harder?" ”

"Not necessarily." Wang Huazhen regained his composure and said: "The army is already about to be pulled, and it is determined to help Xiping Fort, the general soldier Qi Bingzhong, Liu Qu and others have been ordered to pull, the morale of the army is high, and 60,000 people are enough to wipe out the captives, so how can they wait for the northern captives who have no faith to come to their aid?" ”

Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi have been desperately collecting soldiers and horses this year, the imperial court allocated millions of silver, after the death of Shenzong, Guangzong allocated two million taels of internal funds at a time, all of which were private money accumulated by Wanli for decades, and the imperial court was not distressed to use it all in Liaodong, even a liar like Yao Zongwen could receive 200,000 taels, it can be imagined how determined the imperial court is in Liaodong, and how high the cost is.

With huge financial support, the number of soldiers and horses gathered in Liaodong in the past year finally reached 140,000...... This is the apex of the Ming Dynasty's concentration of troops, Salhu is this number, the battles of Liaoyang and Shenyang are this number, the battle of Guangning is this number, and the battle of Songjin commanded by Hong Chengchou is this number...... This was the war potential of the Ming Dynasty, a huge empire with a population of hundreds of millions, in Liaodong...... 140,000 people!

Wang Huazhen compares from numbers, of course he forgot about Salhu, and also forgot about Shenyang and Liaoyang, other people's mistakes are other people's stupidity, of course he will not make mistakes...... More than 100,000 elite soldiers will fight with 60,000 Ding's Dongyu, and they won't lose no matter how they fight......

……

Zhao Lide returned to his residence after going out and wrote a detailed report on his experience in the past few days, in addition to being a miscellaneous official under Wang Huazhen, he was also the head of Jinyiwei's branch in Guangning.

In the heyday of Jinyiwei, not only in the whole of Liaodong, but also in North Korea, there were Jinyiwei in activities, and there were also Jinyiwei spies in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, that is, Guangning and Shanhaiguan still have Jinyiwei, and they are no longer valued by the imperial court, even Zhao Lide himself feels that it is not very useful to write this report, and I don't know which adult will glance at it after arriving in Beijing, and then it will be put on the high cabinet.

After writing the report, Zhao Lide seemed to have unloaded the last burden, and the whole person became relaxed.

He took off his green grass-colored official robe, changed into a royal blue straight embellished, tied the hem, and tied around his waist, and was much more capable.

After going out, Zhao Lide rode a horse and instructed the servants to look after the house as usual, and then he rode to the direction where the branch of He Yusheng was.

After arriving at He Yusheng, Zhao Lide really saw that the business had closed, and he walked to the side door familiarly, and entered the inside of the business through the side door.

"Shopkeeper Xu, shopkeeper Cheng, you want to leave?"

Zhao Lide is the ambassador of the library, and he often comes to He Yusheng in the name of purchasing supplies for the Guangning Army, and he is very familiar with Chengfang and Xu Ming, but when they saw Zhao Lide at this time, the two were still very surprised.

"It's ......" Xu Ming said with a smile: "The soldiers are in a panic, we are temporarily closed, and we are ready to go to the right side to take refuge for a while." ”

"Youtun?" Zhao Lide said: "Xiong Jingluo has no garrison at all except for a few personal soldiers, if you really want Donglu to win, what is the use of you going to Youtun?" ”

Xiong Tingbi was stationed in Shanhaiguan first, and recently in Youtun, but Zhao Lide didn't know that Xiong Tingbi had arrived at Luyang Fort at this time, and his strategy was far less powerful than when he first Fuliao...... Wang Huazhen is the governor, and it stands to reason that Xiong Tingbi can command Wang Huazhen, but now that the host and guest are reversed, Wang Huazhen's series of measures have not been agreed by Xiong Tingbi at all, and Xiong Tingbi has to cooperate with Wang Huazhen.

At the end of last year, Wang Huazhen sent people to attack Haizhou five times, all in vain, Xiong Tingbi said that he asked the court to stop the Fuchen from acting like Meng Lang, beating in a disorderly manner, and damaging his prestige in vain, as a result, the court was already Ye Xianggao as the first assistant, Ye Xianggao was Wang Huazhen's master when he was a jinshi, of course, it was impossible to support Xiong Tingbi, the current military secretary Zhang Heming is also an old Donglin party, depending on the party fighting for state affairs, Wang Huazhen was praised in every way, and Xiong Tingbi was blamed in many ways, and last year he planned to dismiss Xiong Tingbi, As a result, at the beginning of the year, the Dongyu crossed the river to fight, and the battle was fought together, and the discussion of replacing Xiong Tingbi stopped.

Xiong Tingbi's strategy, not only lost the command of the front, but also had no troops to send around, and the station was also frequently changed, which was really helpless.

"If the right tun is not easy to hold." Xu Ming smiled calmly: "We plan to go to Shanhaiguan." ”

"!"

Zhao Lide broke off and said sharply: "It's very easy for you to deceive others, but it's really a joke." ”

Xu Ming and Cheng looked at each other, and Xu Ming spread his hands and said, "I really don't know what Lord Zhao means?" ”

"Have you been doing some tricks in the Thirteen Mountains?"

As soon as he heard Zhao Lide's words, Xu Ming's eyes were shining, and Cheng Fang had already put his hand on his waist, and motioned to the guards around him with his eyes......

Zhao Lide also put his hand on his waist and sneered: "This official is from the Jinyi Wei family, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child for twenty years, and he also has ten and eight lives on hand, even if you kill this official, the movement is very great, see if it will delay your affairs......"

Xu Ming stopped the guys who were moving around, looked at Zhao Lide coldly, and said: "Lord Zhao, we also know that you are Jinyiwei, you don't have to use this big brand to scare us, let's say, what are you going to do when you are eyeing us?" ”

"In the past three months," Zhao Lide said: "You have transported at least 5,000 stone of grain and hoarded it in several stockades in the Thirteen Mountains, as well as a large number of weapons, bows, arrows and arrows and bird guns, I think you have long seen that Guangning can't hold it, and I have to admire the vision of you and your proprietor. Guangning and Zhubao are lost, and even the forts in western Liaoning can not be defended, I am afraid that my Ming can only have a place in Shanhaiguan, at this time you do not want to get out, but hoard food and materials in the Thirteen Mountains, I can't figure it out if I think about it...... I have a problem, that is, I must figure out what I can't figure out, and now wherever you go, I will follow. ”

Xu Ming and Cheng Fang glanced at each other, Cheng Fang shook his head and said: "Lord Zhao, you are Jinyiwei, at most you suspect us as a captive, you can do whatever you want, things are not as good as you say......"

"Don't treat me as a brocade guard." Zhao Lide said: "I have cut off contact with Jingshi, and it will be my personal matter from now on, if Guangning is lost, the officials will definitely scatter and flee, you just treat me as a fugitive." ”

Zhao Lide put on this scoundrel face, and Cheng Fang and Xu Ming both had a headache.

If this person has no identity, he will kill him with a knife, but he is the identity of an official of Jinyi Weijia, and he also has a martial art, which cannot be killed or shaken off, this is a good cowhide plaster.
