Sun Yueling sneered in his heart when he heard this, no wonder Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill Mao Wenlong in the future, and gave up the pacification of the Mongolian tribes, it turned out that he didn't take those remaining forces to heart at all, and overestimated the role of his fortress advance tactics. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But now is not the time to quarrel with him, and if things get deadlocked, maybe he will really be like the old minister Xiong Tingbi, and it will be difficult to mobilize a single soldier.

Thinking of this, Sun Yueling decided to take a step back, suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Lord Yuan, maybe you are right, relying on Korea and Mongolia alone is indeed impossible to strangle the Houjin, and the major event of Pingliao still requires my Ming generals to be brave in front, and the soldiers can only succeed by sacrificing their lives." After a pause, he continued, "Whether it is a three-way strategy or a gradual method of fortress, it needs to be practiced slowly, and it is too early to make a conclusion, and this is not the time to argue about this matter." I just want to ask you, now that Jinzhou is in danger, should we save it or not? ”

After Yuan Chonghuan glanced at him, he returned to his usual calm appearance, looked at the front of the hall, and said, "After Houjin besieges Jinzhou, he will definitely send someone to cut off the passage from Ningyuan to Jinzhou, and wait for us to go to support." Houjin fought against me with a winning momentum, and now we have no way to transfer troops to the battle, and now we can only rely on a word. If the troops of the northern transfer cannot be penetrated, and Houjin divides the troops to attack our army, Jinzhou will be destroyed! ”

looked at Sun Yueling again and said, "Looking at this, our army must not move lightly, and we must not make a big plan because of small unbearable!" ”

Sun Yueling met his gaze without showing weakness, and said, "But the emperor and the imperial court have repeatedly asked us not to sit in Ningyuan and do nothing, can we even ignore the emperor's intentions, Lord Yuan?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan frowned, and said coldly: "The Ministry has made it very clear before, the current plan, we can only rely on the four methods of retreating from the enemy, and the rest of the methods are not feasible. For the sake of Liao's affairs, the Ministry has to do this, I believe that not only the emperor, but even the ministers and ministers of the court and the ministers will also understand the good intentions of this official! ”

This sentence clearly negated all of Sun Yueling's proposals, and as soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the hall became a little embarrassed, and no one dared to talk nonsense, lest they touch the moldy heads of the two adults.

Sun Yueling sneered in his heart, he lifted the emperor with his front foot, and Yuan Chonghuan lifted Wei Zhongxian with his back foot, completely ignoring him, the leader of Donglin, which shows how domineering he is, no wonder he dared to kill a general soldier in the army, and dared to kill Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of Dongjiang in the future.

Sun Yueling knew this, the reason why Yuan Chonghuan dared to be so arrogant was nothing more than to get Wei Zhongxian's respect, others may not know, how could he, a courtier in the center, not understand that last year's "Ningyuan Victory" was just a victory concocted by Wei Zhongxian for political achievements, just like Mao Wenlong's first trip to Zhenjiang, the significance of propaganda is far greater than the actual significance, and Yuan Chonghuan won the trust of Wei Zhongxian, Yan Mingtai and others with this battle, and successfully took charge of the overall situation of Liaodong.

Now that Yuan Chonghuan is in full fledgling, he has become arrogant, completely forgetting how he started - without the promotion of Sun Chengzong and Hou Xun, members of the Donglin Party, how could Yuan Chonghuan have the status he has today?

In the past six months, Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, has gradually gained the trust of the apocalypse after some obscurity, and many eunuch party elements under his command have also re-entered the various ministries of the DPRK and the central government to take power.

You can't forget your roots, and it's really chilling for people who have such an uncertain position and tend to be inflammatory.

At this time, Sun Yueling didn't believe in evil, he was a dignified Liaodong strategy, according to the rules, the important affairs of Liaodong Military Town were decided by him, and now he was willing to repeatedly ask Yuan Chonghuan for his intentions, and he had already given him face as a governor, but Yuan Chonghuan was so prevaricating, did he really think that he was a trick in Liaodong?

The anger in Sun Yueling's chest was finally unbearable, and there were countless generals in the Liaozuo army, could they all listen to his orders from Yuan Chonghuan?

He snorted coldly, looked around at the generals in front of the hall, and said in a loud voice: "Ben Jingluo has decided to send troops to rescue Jinzhou, which general is willing to go along?" ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the generals lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him, and the atmosphere in the field became even colder, silent.

Sun Yueling's heart also cooled down little by little with this cold atmosphere, Yuan Chonghuan didn't fight well, but the ability of the emperor was very powerful, and the generals in this hall were all restrained by him, and no one dared to disobey him. Just when Sun Yueling was very embarrassed, a general suddenly shouted: "This general is willing to go to war with Lord Jingluo!" ”

Sun Yueling was overjoyed, looked at this dark-faced and burly general, who was the Shanhaiguan general Man Gui, who had approved of him at the beginning, and said to him: "Very good, General Man is really my brave warrior of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Praise Master Xie!" Man Gui took a step forward and bowed his head to Sun Yueling and clenched his fists, causing a body of armor to rattle.

"The last general is also willing to fight with the adults!" Sun Zushou, the chief soldier of the Santun battalion, also hugged Sun Yueling with his fist.

"Good!" Sun Yueling was overjoyed and said to the generals, "Who else is willing to walk with this scripture?" ”

There was a commotion when the generals in the hall boarded, and many people began to sway left and right, eager to speak.

Yuan Chonghuan's face darkened suddenly, he took a step forward, looked at Man Gui coldly, and said sharply: "The imperial court has repeatedly asked Guan Ningjun not to move lightly, Man Gui, do you dare to disobey the orders of the imperial court?" "After all, the three battalions brought out by Man Gui from Shanhaiguan are also part of the Guanning Army, so Yuan Chonghuan will reprimand him like this.

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's frenzy, some of the generals who originally wanted to ask for war were silent, and they didn't dare to say anything more - they had learned Yuan Chonghuan's domineering, and those who dared to contradict him had no good fruit to eat, and no one dared to offend his rebellion at this time.

Unexpectedly, Man Gui did not flinch, raised his head and looked at Yuan Chonghuan without fear, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Yuan's words are wrong, now Jinzhou is besieged, the situation is extremely urgent, Jinzhou, Zhongzuo, and Dalinghe only have one city in Jinzhou completed construction, and Jinzhou has become a lonely city. After the Jin Dynasty was trapped for a long time, if there was no Ming army to help, maybe 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou would have to surrender the city, and at that time our side suffered heavy losses, and the Ningjin defense line was broken overnight, and there was no longer the ability to resist the Tartar soldiers! Facing Yuan Chonghuan with a fist, "Please also ask your Excellency to put state affairs first and quickly send the Guanning Army to rescue Jinzhou." ”

The muscles on Yuan Chonghuan's face couldn't help shaking, his fists were clenched, and he said angrily: "Man Gui, the ministry has already had a strategy to deal with it, you have no supervision, you disobey the order, believe it or not, the ministry will dismiss you on the spot?" ”

For Man Gui he has long been displeased, this person has been in the army with deep seniority, has not been very much in his eyes, if it was not for the previous Jinglu Wang's ministers from the obstruction, he would have driven Man Gui out of the Guanning Army, now this guy actually climbed the new Jingluo Sun Yueling, but also in front of him against himself, this is simply unbearable, at this time, he has moved the killing intent in his heart, if Man Gui does not listen to the tune, then do not blame him Yuan Boss ruthless.

Sun Yueling stood aside, looking at all the expressions and movements of Yuan Chonghuan in his eyes, at this moment, his impression of Yuan Chonghuan deepened a little, this person is self-serving, arrogant, and surprisingly fanatical about power, flattering to superiors and strict to subordinates, but all people or things that block his promotion are eliminated quickly, and there is no so-called "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" in Confucianism in his eyes, it is simply a strange thing in the civil official group.

At this moment, he could only endure the breath in his heart, came to Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui's side, pretended to play a round, and shouted at Man Gui: "General Man doesn't know how to be polite, how dare he disobey the governor?" After retiring from Man Gui, he said to Yuan Chonghuan, "Lord Yuan, you are an important minister of the imperial court, so don't be like a person in the army." Since all the generals agree to rescue Jinzhou, then it is okay for us to discuss and discuss, and the meaning of the imperial court is also to let us take the initiative and take the initiative, right? ”

So far, Yuan Chonghuan is not good at refuting this matter, snorted coldly, and said: "The headquarters is sitting in Ningyuan, so naturally it cannot be moved lightly, if Lord Jingluo insists on sending troops, then it can only be up to you." ”

Sun Yueling was waiting for his words, and said with a smile: "Very good, even so, this Jingluo led Mangui and Sun Zushou's troops to rescue Jinzhou, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan frowned, and said: "The imperial court has already ordered that the Guanning army is a barrier between mountains and seas, and it cannot be moved, but ......" paused slightly, and said, "The Ministry is not an unreasonable person, since General Man is willing to go with you, then he will select and transfer 2,000 elite soldiers from the Ministry of Mangui to go with you, and Sun Zushou's Department will also transfer 2,000 men and horses to fight with you, what do you think?" ”

Sun Yueling was unhappy in his heart, there were only 4,000 men and horses to rescue Jinzhou, didn't this let them go to death, and sneered: "Only 4,000 men and horses to save Jinzhou, Lord Yuan, do you believe in Sun's ability too much, or do you disdain the 60,000 Houjin soldiers?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan snorted and said, "Then another two thousand elite horsemen will be transferred from Zu Dashou's department, so you should be satisfied, right?" If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't, you will withdraw as soon as possible. In fact, he didn't believe in his heart that the Ming army could defeat Houjin in the field, so he didn't want to send most of the troops there, these 6,000 people were considered a temptation, even if he lost, he didn't care, anyway, it was either the Mangui Department or the Jizhen soldiers; As for the two thousand Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, he couldn't run if he couldn't beat them, and he was never worried about this.

Sun Yueling thought for a moment, 6,000 people, plus the 1,000 people he brought, there are 7,000 people in total, how to say that it is too little, the Guanning Army Headquarters has 60,000 troops and more than a dozen battalions, and it is really unreasonable to transfer 2,000 people to go, and he couldn't help but say: "Lord Yuan, these 6,000 people seem to be a little ......."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan interrupted him violently, and said unhappily: "The enemy situation is unknown, 6,000 people is already the limit of the troops that can be mobilized by the headquarters, if Sun Jingluo is unwilling to go, then this matter will be stopped!" ”

At this point, Sun Yueling knew that it was useless to say more, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, six thousand is six thousand, according to Lord Yuan's wishes!" ”
