has been adrift on the rivers and lakes for so long, what kind of three-minded and nine-rate character Liu Jingting has never seen. Naturally, Dular's poor acting skills can't hide from his eyes, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Dular's approach of knowing current affairs like this has saved them a lot of trouble.

Although Ezhe was still a little unaccustomed to Dulaer's approach, Liu Jingting had already praised with a smile: "Okay, the three generals Dulaer, Buyantu, and Guluge are indeed loyal ministers of the imperial court, and when the remnants of the Gunchuk Taiji rebelled, you were able to stick to your posts and not be instigated by rebellion, such a loyal act, this official will definitely report to Your Majesty." Now let's talk about what to do next. ”

After Liu Jingting finished speaking to Dulaer, he ordered the officers who had come to greet them first and asked them to follow them into the discussion.

After entering the big tent, Dulaer invited Liu Jingting to sit on the main seat, and he and the others sat on both sides. As soon as he sat down, Liu Jingting said loudly: "The current situation is urgent, I won't talk nonsense, it's been three days since the Gunchuk Taiji remnants launched a rebellion.

What we want to know most now is what has happened in the city in the past few days, since the three generals have resisted the pull of these traitors, they should always know a little bit of the inside story, right? ”

After glancing at each other, Dural and the two colleagues finally told the city honestly.

After listening to the situation told by the three of them, Liu Jingting immediately asked everyone: "Now that everyone has understood the situation, you might as well talk about your own views and see how you can quell the rebels in the city with the fastest speed and the smallest loss." Every day that is delayed, the rebels in the city may be more prepared, and it will be even more unfavorable for us to put down the rebellion..."

In addition to Zhang Jia Living Buddha and Liu Jingting, the others in the big tent are all martial artists, and even Ezhe is a non-commissioned officer who graduated from the Cavalry Department of the Army Military Academy, so the suggestions put forward by everyone are naturally inseparable from a typing.

The army outside the city, together with the surrounding settled tribes, far outweighed the inside of the city. The only thing that worries everyone is that the artillery and powder magazines are all inside the city, so once they enter the siege battle, I am afraid that the losses will be very large.

Therefore, it was suggested that the city should be sent into the city before it was ready to be guarded, and then the gates should be opened at night to allow the troops from outside the city to enter. However, some people suspect that this strategy will not succeed, because Chahanhot is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, and it is easy to open the gates of the outer city, but it is not so simple to open the gates of the inner city.

When the city was first built, the inner city and four batteries were used as the core garrison, while the outer city was used as a civilian area and a combat area to delay the enemy's attack on the inner city. Therefore, even if they entered the outer city, they only fell into the area where the fire of the army in the city was crossed, and they could not be regarded as capturing Chahanhot.

Moreover, there are many military dependents living in the city, and many officers do not want to expand the war to prevent the army in the city from jumping over the wall and fighting a cruel offensive and defensive battle with them, after all, although everyone is stationed inside and outside the city, many people still have private friendships with each other, and even many people are still relatives.

This is also why when the rebellion first broke out, the garrison outside the city did not enter the city to quell the chaos as soon as possible, but instead held the camp and did not go out until dawn, and only sent people into the city to contact after dawn, so that the Mongolian Nayan people in the city thought that they were facing themselves, so they did not count this army as the men and horses of the imperial court.

Seeing that everyone couldn't discuss a final plan, the young Ezhe finally got up and said impatiently to everyone: "How can there be immortals in war, the rebellion in the city is now half-hearted, and they are still arguing about whether to stick to this city or move to Liaodong, which can be said to be the worst time for vigilance."

At this time, when we attack, they must not have expected it, and the defense in the city is not so tight, so that our attack will have the effect of surprise attack. There is no perfect strategy in this world, as long as we are five points sure, we should give it a try.

What's more, no matter how you look at it, our offense is more than five points sure, so why don't we play? We can't wait for these traitors to take the initiative to hand over Chahanhot before entering the city, right? Mr. Liu, I am willing to personally bring people into the city to clear the way for the army, and let Dular, Buyantu, and Guluge meet me, and the time may not be set for tonight. ”

Buyantu suddenly became a little flustered, and subconsciously said, "Tonight? Isn't that too eager? Ezhe, you are not familiar with Chahanhot, if there is any mistake in your infiltration of the city, how should we explain to a few Fujin? I think we'd better discuss it again, don't be so impulsive. ”

Ezhe ignored him, just looked at Liu Jingting with two eyes and asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you say?" ”

Liu Jingting was pinching his beard and pondering at this time, and when he heard Ezhe's inquiry, he couldn't help but wake up, looked at Ezhe and said, "I was thinking about things just now, and I was distracted for a while, what did you just say?" ”

Ezhe also fainted at Liu Jingting's performance, and he was the only one who was distracted at the military meeting. However, he still didn't dare to despise this old man who was once in the emperor's palace, so he honestly retold his claim.

Liu Jingting looked at the faces of the people in the tent and found that most of them shook their heads at Ezhe's proposition, but the identity of their rebellious comrades had not been completely washed away, and such a battle was needed at this time to show their loyalty to the imperial court, so they could only remain silent.

Liu Jingting was silent for a moment before he said to Ezhe: "You just said that the rebels in the city are not evenly matched, and I agree with this. But to say that they are not well prepared, I don't think so. ”

Ezhe suddenly looked at Liu Jingting with some doubts and asked, "Why is Mr. Liu so determined?" ”

Liu Jingting immediately asked him: "If you change places with them and lose the leader of Gunchuktaiji, and one group of people say that you want to leave, and another group of people say that you want to stay, how will you respond?" ”

Ezhe replied without thinking: "Naturally, it depends on whose knife is harder... What Mr. Liu means is that these rebels will strengthen their defenses because of their disagreements, but it is not the army outside the city that they are guarding against, but their comrades? ”

Liu Jingting nodded and said: "This place is 800 miles to Xilinhot, 400 miles to Chengde, the night of the rebellion has been less than three days to today, and Governor Yuan is probably still on the way back to Xilinhot at this time." And Chengde has not received the news yet.

At this moment, these rebels naturally did not worry that there would be a counter-rebellion army outside the city, and their minds were naturally placed on their comrades. It is true that Gonchuktaiji is dead, but the rebels must always decide a leader, whether with a knife or with words, otherwise who will lead them in the affairs after the rebellion?

Don't you think it's strange that there is such an army stationed outside the city, and the thieves inside the city turn a blind eye? ”

Ezhe, like everyone else, nodded subconsciously, wanting to know Liu Jingting's guess. Liu Jingting didn't sell Guan Zi either, so he said bluntly: "The traitors in the city should know who this army supports when it enters the city, and who will take the place of Gunchuk Taiji." Therefore, only if everyone watches over each other, and prevents anyone from having private contact with this army before deciding on the leader, will they be slow to do anything about this army.

Therefore, if you try to infiltrate the city in the name of this army, I am afraid that you will be watched at the first time. And once you make a small move, the city will naturally react immediately, and our surprise attack will become a strong attack. ”

Ezhe finally sat back, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Do we really have to wait for Governor Yuan to come back with his troops before we can solve these rebellions in the city?" Isn't our trip in vain? ”

The tent suddenly became quiet again, and when he heard that Governor Yuan had brought his troops back to quell the chaos, whether it was Dulaer, Buyantu, Guluge and other Mongolian Nayan, or those middle- and low-level officers, they all looked a little uneasy.

The consequences of Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Gun Chuktaiji in public are now somewhat revealed. For this man who said a word of edict and executed a Mongolian Taiji and the commander of the army on the street, it was really difficult for these Mongols to trust.

They are worried that this person will not be connected with himself when he quells the rebellion. Their status is far worse than that of Gonchuktaiji, and killing Gunchuktaiji is like killing a chicken, so what is the difference between killing them and crushing an ant.

Seeing that everyone's faces were not good-looking, Liu Jingting chuckled a few times and said, "For this matter, there is no need to use Governor Yuan's army. I'm not as good as you in war, but when it comes to shaking people's hearts, I think I'm still better than you.

Although it is difficult to attack Chahanhot, it is not complicated to take it back. This rebellion happened suddenly, and we were not prepared, but neither did these rebels in the city, otherwise they would not have discussed the question of staying or relocating, and they would not have been able to discuss the results for three days.

What's more, as soon as Gonchuktaiji died, the rebellion in the city lacked the people in charge, and it was difficult for them to trust each other, which was the key to our recapture of Chahanhot. ”

Ezhe, Dulaer and the others immediately looked at Liu Jingting, and couldn't help but ask him: "Dare to ask your lordship, how can you take back Chahanhot without a fight?" ”

Liu Jingting pondered for a moment, sorted out the thoughts in his heart, and then continued: "First of all, the traitors in the city are divided into the two parties of staying and relocating Liaodong, and those who want to go to Liaodong are naturally determined to betray the Ming Dynasty. But those who want to stay, I don't think their rebellious hearts are necessarily so resolute.

In addition, winter is coming soon, and when you hit the road at this time, you will inevitably have to brave the threat of winter. The Nayan people have plenty of warm clothes, but do the soldiers have them too? There were stoves to keep warm in the city, but on the march in the field, they had to look at the will of God.

I think it is precisely because the soldiers are reluctant to move to Liaodong that the city has been arguing over this issue for so long. And the reason why the soldiers want to be thieves, I think many of them are also forced, otherwise even if there are knives in the sky, it is time to pack up and run away.

Therefore, we just need to give those who support those who remain an excuse to get away with their crimes, and distinguish them from those traitors who are really determined to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. If we don't attack, the real traitors will have to run away on their own..."
