(Recommended reading: "The officers and soldiers are all brave and good warriors, and the four official and military are not far from each other, as long as one of them can drag the Jurchens, then the other three roads will definitely rush to the rescue, and the Jurchens will suffer a catastrophe at that time."

In silence, Chen Zizhuang broke the calm of the scene, and after looking at the wine glasses and wine jugs that Li Hongyu placed on the table full of faces, he smiled and said to Li Hongyu, thinking that Li Hongyu was a little worried, and the Ming army was not their opponent even after the division of troops.

Xue Guoguan and others bowed their heads when they heard this, thinking that Chen Zizhuang's words were reasonable, the Ming army advanced in four directions and relied on each other, and it was not easy for the Houjin army to break through one by one, as long as the Houjin army was dragged down, then it would inevitably be exterminated by the reinforced officers and troops.

In fact, Yang Ho engaged in a joint attack and a four-way attack, the purpose of which was to wipe out the Houjin army and prevent the Houjin army from escaping.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Jurchens captured Fushun and Qinghe and other places one after another last year, which shows that they are not a rabble."

Li Hongyu saw that everyone agreed with Chen Zizhuang's words, and knew that they did not understand the situation in Liaodong, so he pondered for a while and said solemnly, "As far as I know, the chief Nurhachi has been fighting for many years, and has set up eight banners to command the soldiers under his command, each banner has nearly 8,000 soldiers, and if the eight banners work together, then the Jurchen soldiers under his command will be as high as 60,000, and they have a huge advantage over any of the officers and soldiers along the way." ”

"Sixty thousand!"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene immediately looked at each other, no one could have imagined that the Houjin army would have so many troops, and the Ming army would not only lose its advantage in strength after the division of troops in four ways, but also be at a disadvantage.

"What is particularly worrying is that the officers and troops come from all over the Ming Dynasty, and the dispatch of the battle in a hurry will be not smooth, and once they fall into a vicious battle, the military orders cannot be issued quickly, and then the fighters will be missed."

The corners of Li Hongyu's mouth flashed a subtle smile, and then looked at the people at the scene worriedly, in fact, the implication of his words was obvious, that is, because the Ming army came from different systems, the generals would inevitably hinder each other, so as to delay the fighters, after all, no one wanted their own people to be used as cannon fodder to die.

"Li Jieyuan, according to your words, the official army will fail this time?" In astonishment, Yuan Chonghuan asked in surprise.

Everyone's faces also showed a look of astonishment, after Li Hongyu said this, they realized that Houjin was not as vulnerable as he thought before, so it didn't seem that it would be easy for the official army to defeat them, but it wouldn't be defeated!

"The warplanes on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and no one can guess what will happen, so the outcome of this sweep is unknown."

may feel that the atmosphere at the scene is a little dignified, so under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Li Hongyu smiled and said, "This is just the words of the next family, you have the right to be happy, don't take it to heart." ”

"Li Jieyuan, how do you think the battle situation in Liaodong will progress?"

Although Li Hongyu asked everyone not to take what he said before to heart, everyone's interest had been aroused by him, Xue Guoguan asked curiously after hearing this.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Hongyu with great interest, wanting to hear what he thought of the war in Liaodong, although they were literati, but after all, the war in Liaodong was now the top priority of the Ming Dynasty, which naturally aroused the concern of these young scholars.

"Since everyone wants to listen to the assumptions of the subordinates, then it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate."

Seeing this, the corners of Li Hongyu's mouth suddenly flashed with an imperceptible smile, and he was eager to "predict" to everyone the process of the defeat of the Ming army in the battle of Liaodong, so Xue Guoguan's words made him agree to the boat, and said to everyone with a smile, "There is something to say in advance, this is just speculation in the next, and there is no offense to the officials and soldiers." ”

"The battle of Liaodong is a major event of the country, what is the crime of our scholars?"

Chen Zizhuang immediately laughed when he heard this, and said loudly to everyone present, after all, they are not ordinary people but people with meritorious reputations, so they can naturally discuss the political affairs of the court, which is also a manifestation of loyalty and patriotism, which can be described as a matter of course.

"Li Jieyuan, just talk about it." Xue Guoguan and the others all agreed with Chen Zizhuang's words, and then opened their mouths to urge Li Hongyu.

"In my humble opinion, this time the official army and the Jurchens will have a decisive battle in this place."

Li Hongyu smiled helplessly when he heard this, then stood up and asked the singing and dancing girl who was waiting on the side to bring an empty wine glass, put it on the west side of the wine pot representing Hetuala, and said to everyone present in a deep voice.

Obviously, Li Hongyu's previous words were just humility and politeness, so as not to make people think that he was too ostentatious, and maintaining a proper low profile is also a broad and profound knowledge, after all, no one likes those who are in the limelight, and Mu Xiu's truth that Lin Feng will destroy it is a bloody lesson that has been tested by history and practice.

"Where is this?"

Seeing this, Chen Zizhuang, Xue Guoguan and others stood up one after another, looking at the empty wine glass that Li Hongyu had put down suspiciously, not knowing where the decisive battle site Li Hongyu was talking about.

The girls who accompanied the wine around everyone also came up curiously, although they didn't care much about the war in Liaodong, but now the war situation in Liaodong was the top priority of the Ming Dynasty, so these girls naturally wanted to know what Li Hongyu had to say, and in the future, it would be good for the guests to come to the Qinglou to show off their knowledge.

After all, now the public opinion in the market believes that the Ming army will destroy the Houjin in Liaodong, but Li Hongyu did the opposite, so that there is a gimmick, so that the girls can have a new remark on the battle situation in Liaodong when they accompany the guests in the future, and then attract the attention of the guests and raise their own value.

"Salhu!"

Li Hongyu glanced around at the scene, slowly spit out three words in his mouth, and then said in a deep voice, "Sarhu is located more than two hundred miles northwest of Hetuala, the old nest of the Jurchens, and it is the only way for our official army to advance eastward, and it is also the last barrier for the Jurchens. ”

"This is just right, our army can have a decisive battle with the Jurchens in Sarhu, and calm the chaos in one battle."

Chen Zizhuang couldn't help sneering when he heard this, looked at the wine jug and wine glass that Li Hongyu put on the table, and said in a deep voice, "In addition to the fact that the officers and troops of the South Road are a little far away from Salhu, the officers and troops of the North Road and the Southwest Road are only two or three days away from Salhu at most, as long as the West Route Army drags the Jurchens, then the reinforcements of these two routes will arrive in an instant, so that the officers and troops will have an advantage in terms of strength."

”

Xue Guoguan and the others nodded one after another, thinking that what Chen Zizhuang said was reasonable, even if the Jurchens were powerful, it would not be a problem for the Western Route Army to hold on for two or three days, so that the reinforcements from the two routes were about to arrive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the cold climate, barren land, and very harsh living environment in Liaodong make the Jurchens often fight, so they have developed a brave and ruthless character."

Li Hongyu knew that everyone still despised the Houjin army in their hearts, thinking that the Jurchens were just an ordinary barbarian on the frontier, so he said solemnly after a while, "The Jurchen chieftain Nurhachi has been fighting for many years, and the people of the Eight Banners under his command have gone through more than 100 battles, large and small, and they are as fierce as the elite of the official army. ”

"Now Liaodong is still the season of heavy snowfall, if the official army rushes to attack at this time and goes deep into the hinterland of the Jurchens, it is not easy to transport logistics and baggage, and if the Jurchens rely on the advantage of the terrain to ambush, the official army will fall into a bitter battle."

Saying that, Li Hongyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Most of the officers and men of our army come from Guannei, and they are not accustomed to the wind and snow in Liaodong, if they can attack when the weather is warm in May, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

In fact, it is no wonder that Yang Hao chose to fight in March, last year's new Liao salary in the imperial court made the people everywhere complain, and the more than 3 million taels of military salaries needed for the war in Liaodong were difficult to raise from all over the country for a while, and more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong needed silver to eat, drink, Lazar and sleep, and the war would consume one day's silver taels for one day to delay the war.

Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China kept urging Yang Hao to end the battle as soon as possible, in their opinion, the small Jianzhou Jurchen was not vulnerable at all, and the cabinet elder Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, and other senior officials of the DPRK and China even wrote letters to Yang Hao to urge the war, and some people even privately even said that Yang Hao supported troops in Liaodong for personal gain.

This made Yang Hao bear huge psychological pressure, and had to choose the strategy of dividing his troops and encircling them in the spring, hoping to fight a quick victory and defeat the Houjin army to end the war in Liaodong.

Li Hongyu felt that this matter was very sad, and the dignified Ming Dynasty couldn't even get three million taels of military salaries, so that Yang Hao chose to fight Houjin in March, and made a huge mistake in the sky.

According to historical records, before the battle of Salhu, the Ming army encountered wind and snow on the way to the march, "the wind and snow were great, the three armies could not open their eyes, the valley was obscure, and they could not be distinguished", which was very unsuitable for many soldiers transferred from the south and northwest, and the cold weather greatly affected the combat effectiveness.

"Li Jieyuan, can't the Western Route Army hold out for two or three days?"

After listening to Li Hongyu's words, Chen Zizhuang, Xue Guoguan and the others couldn't help but ignore and glance at each other, they naturally heard the worry in Li Hongyu's words, so Yuan Chonghuan hesitated for a moment and asked suspiciously.

Everyone at the scene looked at Li Hongyu again, for them, even if the Houjin Army was powerful, but the Ming Army of the Western Route Army was the elite of the Ming Dynasty, how could it be defeated in a battle, and it couldn't even support it for two or three days?

"Ladies and gentlemen, if it is the chief Nurhachi below, then he must concentrate his forces to defeat the official army of the western route within two days, then turn to attack the official army of the northern route, defeat the official army of the northern route in two or three days, and then move south to meet the official army of the southern route, and defeat it within a day or two."

Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, then raised his head and glanced around at everyone, stretched out his hand and took off the wine glasses located on the west, north and south sides of the wine pot one by one, and said with a solemn expression, "In five to seven days, the Jurchens will defeat the official army and win this battle." ”

After listening to Li Hongyu's prediction, everyone at the scene immediately looked at each other, thinking that Li Hongyu's speculation was really incredible, could the Ming army be so vulnerable in front of the Houjin army?

"Li Jieyuan, and the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Road!"

In the silence, the singing and dancing girl beside Li Hongyu curiously pointed to the wine glass on the southwest side of the wine jug, and reminded with some puzzlement that although the Ming army's three-way army was defeated, there were still officers and troops on the southwest road, so how could it be said that the Houjin army had won.

"The Third Route Army has already lost, if you are the commander of the Southwest Route Army, then what choice will you make?" Hearing this, Li Hongyu glanced at the remaining wine glass, and looked at the singing and dancing girl who asked quietly.

"Naturally, he took the lead and fought to the death with the enemy, and avenged the officers and soldiers of the Third Route Army." The singing and dancing girl didn't think about it when she heard this, so she immediately straightened her chest and replied quite arrogantly.

Chen Zizhuang, Xue Guoguan and the others couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, although they also hoped that the Southwest Route Army would do this, but it was obvious that Li Hongyu didn't think so, otherwise he would not ignore the existence of the Southwest Route Ming Army.

"The three roads will collapse, and the officers and troops of the southwest route will inevitably withdraw their troops to protect themselves under the shock, and retreat to the garrison to wait and see what happens!" Sure enough, Li Hongyu shook his head and reached out to remove the wine glass on the southwest side, and said to the singing and dancing girl in a deep voice.

"Actually withdrawed!" The singing and dancing girl was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't help muttering to herself, she also thought that the Ming Army of the Southwest Road would be killed.

"Everyone, this is just a speculation about the war situation in Liaodong, it is purely a family statement, you don't have to take it to heart, come, let's have this drink."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little dull, Li Hongyu smiled and picked up the wine glass, and smiled and beckoned Chen Zizhuang and the others to drink, since he had already said his prediction of the battle situation in Liaodong, then it would be up to the outside world to react.

Qinglou has always been the fastest place to transmit news, Li Hongyu believes that his astonishing words about the war in Liaodong will soon spread throughout the capital and the opposition, and will inevitably attract the attention of the Wanli Emperor, and then show his outstanding military talent to the Wanli Emperor, which will facilitate him to rush to the aid of Liaodong and lay out the Guanwai.
