Chapter 699: To Each His Own
"Brother Li, your face ......"
Yuan Chonghuan was soon led into the study by the guards, and when he saw Li Hongyu, he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu's cheek in surprise, there was a bright red lipstick mark on it, and he thought he was injured when he looked at it from a distance.
In private, Li Hongyu and Yuan Chonghuan and other peers of the same department are called brothers, which invisibly shortens the distance between the two sides.
"It was left by the county lord of Caixia."
Li Hongyu stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and now he had lipstick on his hand, so he walked to the basin on the side and cleaned it with a towel while smiling and letting Yuan Chonghuan sit down.
Yuan Chonghuan smiled when he heard this, and sat down on the seat next to him, he was Li Hongyu's friend in the same department, so he naturally knew that Naren Toya disguised herself as a man and stayed by Li Hongyu's side.
Although this move is not in line with the rules, Li Hongyu is busy with official business, and he really needs a woman to take care of him.
You must know that those civil and military officials in the court in the capital usually do not hug left and right, and there are no fewer women around, compared to them, Li Hongyu's little thing is nothing, it is not in line with the law, but it is understandable.
Besides, the discipline of the Ming Dynasty has already been almost corrupted, otherwise why would he be forced to this step by the little Houjin, who cares about the rules and regulations.
"Brother Li, do you really want to attack Guangning City?"
Waiting for Li Hongyu to wipe the lipstick marks on his face, Yuan Chonghuan looked at him with some concern and asked, The main force of Houjin can be stationed in Guangning City, and with the current strength of the Ming army, let alone attacking the city, it does not even have the ability to fight head-on.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, Lin Danhan has promised to send troops to help us." Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's worried look, Li Hongyu sat opposite him with a smile and asked the maid to serve fragrant tea.
"Lin Dan Khan is a capricious villain, Wang Huazhen has suffered a big loss in this and made a big joke, will he break his promise again this time?" Yuan Chonghuan couldn't trust Lin Danhan, and asked worriedly after taking a sip of tea.
"At this time and that time, Guangning is a place where our Ming and the Mongols exchange markets, and once they are occupied by Jiannu, they will not be able to trade with us."
Li Hongyu sipped tea there slowly, and said to Yuan Chonghuan with a smile, "Besides, Lin Dan Khan doesn't want to see Jiannu expand its strength, and the Mongols will be affected by it at that time. ”
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning, Li Hongyu was really not used to drinking tea, but later the more he tasted it, the more it tasted, which could not only be used to relieve stress and play time, but also had great benefits for the body.
"Having said that, Kejianu is fierce, and those Mongols are not necessarily their opponents." Yuan Chonghuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and his expression still looked extremely dignified.
Although Li Hongyu's analysis is reasonable, the key point is that the Mongols may not be able to defeat Houjin, and in the conflict between Lin Dan Khan and Nurhachi, the Mongols won less and lost more.
As for the Ming army, Yuan Chonghuan didn't expect them to fight with Houjin at all, but he knew that except for the 8,000 forbidden army and sailors led by Li Hongyu, the Ming army in western Liaoning would not be able to go to the battlefield at all, and if he forcibly let the Ming army in western Liaoning go to fight with Houjin, he was afraid that it would collapse at the first touch.
"Although the Jiannu are fierce, they have a limited number of people, and they will definitely not fight with us and the Mongols in Quang Ninh, in that case, even if they win, they will suffer heavy casualties."
Li Hongyu smiled disappreciatively, and comforted Yuan Chonghuan in an orderly manner, "Nurhachi is a smart man, since he tried his best to move the people of Liaoxi to Liaodong, he has no intention of defending Liaoxi at all, and it is only a matter of time before he retreats, but we have accelerated the progress of his departure." ”
"Brother Li, are you saying that Jiannu will be withdrawn from Quang Ninh?" Yuan Chonghuan was taken aback when he heard this, Guangning was the most important military town outside the Guan, and he never thought that Houjin would easily abandon him.
"The people of Guangning are gone, what's the use of Jiannu asking for it, they don't have this military expense, so it's better to leave it to us Daming."
Li Hongyu bowed slightly, and then said to Yuan Chonghuan a little helplessly, "It's just that this has created a problem for our Daming." ”
"This Nurhachi is really not simple!" Yuan Chonghuan understood now, his brows suddenly furrowed tightly, and his mood became even heavier.
Judging from the current situation, the current Guangning City is indeed a burden, as Li Hongyu said, without the people of Liaoxi, neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Later Jin Dynasty have the desire to guard it.
And this is where Nurhachi is clever, turning Quang Ninh into a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it, and then it has become a buffer zone between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin.
For Houjin, it is now necessary to operate and build in Liaodong, with Liaodong as the foundation, and only after laying a good foundation can we try to do other things.
This means that it is not so easy for Daming to deal with Houjin, Nurhachi will definitely not be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with Daming, but to fight a protracted war with Daming, he can raise grain and grass on the spot, but Daming needs to transport military supplies from the Guannai, which is very unfavorable to Daming in the long run.
"Brother Yuan, no matter what, we can be regarded as having something to gain from this time, the art of war is cloudy, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, as long as we deal with it properly, Jiannu will not be able to turn over any big waves."
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's worried look on his face, Li Hongyu smiled and comforted, and then Yu Fengyi turned out the invitation, "Brother Yuan, can you come to the Customs Department to help me after this Liaoxi matter, the Customs Department is really busy." ”
To tell the truth, Li Hongyu does not want Yuan Chonghuan to stay in Liaodong, the rise of Houjin will be inevitable, this is not how powerful Houjin is but that the Ming Dynasty is now too corrupt, if Yuan Chonghuan stays in Liaodong, the result will definitely be a tragedy, he wants to pull Yuan Chonghuan a hand.
"I understand Brother Li's kindness, and you also know that I don't know anything about business, and if I go, I will only cause trouble for you."
Yuan Chonghuan laughed when he heard this, Li Hongyu was very happy to be able to do this, but he was arrogant and didn't want to send people under the fence, and he couldn't do those things in the Customs Department, and then put down the teacup in his hand and said to Li Hongyu, "Now that the situation in Liaodong is critical, I think I still stay in Liaodong to protect the Beijing Division." ”
Li Hongyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of disappointment, he had long known that Yuan Chonghuan would not go south with him, Yuan Chonghuan had great ambitions in his heart, so he was sure that he would rather be the head of a chicken than a phoenix, so he could only silently bless him in his heart.
Quang Ninh City.
"Great Khan, I just received a report from Jinzhou that a Ming army of 20,000 or 30,000 people has entered Jinzhou City, and it is the dress of an ordinary Ming army from the perspective of clothing."
Nurhachi was looking at a map of Liaodong when a guard hurried in to report on it, which made his brow furrow.
"Great Khan, isn't there anyone from Li Hongyu who has a water diverter?" There were also He Heli and Hu Erhan in the room, and He Heli couldn't help but look at Nurhachi suspiciously when he heard this.
Houjin is now facing a major choice, so at this time, Nurhachi's most trusted people are He Heli and Huerhan, two experienced brothers who live and die together, and discuss everything with the two.
"I'm afraid this is his suspicious strategy, worried that we will know that he called the water division, so he changed into the uniform of an ordinary Ming army." Nurhachi groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a serious expression, "Unless...... He's risking his life! ”
"Great Khan, Lin Dan Khan's men are only three days away from Guangning, and if you count in terms of time, they happened to arrive in Guangning at the same time as the Ming army."
Hearing this, Hu Erhan frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Nurhachi and said in a deep voice, "This time, Lin Dan Khan personally led 50,000 Mongolian troops to come, once it meets with the Ming army, it will be very unfavorable to us." ”
"That's right, Great Khan, although we can't figure out the identity of the twenty or thirty thousand Ming troops now, Lin Dan Khan must have brought the elite under his command when he came in person this time, and it is really difficult to deal with."
He Heli also felt that the situation was serious, and asked Nurhachi with a serious face, "Great Khan, shall we defeat them one by one or evacuate?" ”
Now there are only two paths in front of the Later Jin, one is to defeat the Mongol army and the Ming army one by one before they can join up, and the other is to abandon Guangning and withdraw to Liaodong.
Once the Later Jin withdrew to Liaodong, then the pressure faced by the Mongols would disappear, so Lin Dan Khan would never help the Ming Dynasty to fight the Later Jin.
Lin Dan Khan is also a smart person, and naturally knows that with Houjin's restraint, he can get more benefits from Daming, otherwise Daming will be the next one to deal with.
"Lin Dan Khan!"
Hearing this, Nurhachi couldn't help but slam his fist on the map, and three words burst out of his mouth coldly, if there were no hateful Mongols, now he would have a lot more ways to deal with it, it seems that he must get rid of Lin Dan Khan as soon as possible, and he can concentrate on dealing with Daming after this threat is missing.
"Pass the order down and concentrate your forces on Jinzhou." Then, Nurhachi turned and shouted in a deep voice to the guards standing in the doorway.
"Marching into Jinzhou?" He Heli and Hu Erhan couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment, could it be that Nurhachi wanted to attack Jinzhou City? With Li Hongyu here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the city, and as soon as the Mongols come, they will be attacked from the left and right.
"In addition, inform the generals everywhere that the remaining people in the jurisdiction must be driven to Liaodong within two days, and those who do not want to obey will be killed!" Then, with a blank face, Nurhachi gave another order.
He Heli and Hu Erhan breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, it seems that Nurhachi did not really go to Jinzhou to attack the city this time, but wanted to demonstrate to Li Hongyu, otherwise he would not let the Houjin generals drive the local people to Liaodong within two days.
At the same time, this is also a countermeasure made by Nurhachi in order to prevent Li Hongyu from following the pursuit after the withdrawal of Jin.
To be honest, perhaps because of the age of the two, He Heli and Hu Erhan did not want Nurhachi to start a war with the Ming and the Mongols at the same time, and the top priority was to hold the victory in the battle of Guangning.
With Nurhachi's order, the 40,000 Houjin soldiers of Guangning City left Guangning City and rushed to Jinzhou City, because the people of Guangning City have already been moved to Liaodong, so with the departure of Houjin soldiers, the former busy Liaodong town has become an empty city.
