Everyone walked to the steps outside the yamen, Yuan Chonghuan had already led the generals of the towns to greet him, although Yuan Chonghuan has always been domineering, but this superficial effort is still required, after all, Sun Yueling is a dignified provincial strategy, according to the status of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, slightly higher. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The military situation was urgent, and Yuan Chonghuan did not be too polite, and after leading the generals to pay homage to Sun Yueling, he led them towards the yamen hall.

Sun Yueling served as the Liaodong Economic Strategy this time, and the imperial court originally planned to transfer a thousand men and horses from the Beijing camp as his escorts, but he understood the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp, so he did not plan to transfer people from the Beijing camp, but asked the court to transfer a group of people from the forbidden army. The imperial court agreed with him, and Zhang Zhiqi, the commander of the forbidden army, personally selected and transferred six hundred elite soldiers of the forbidden army as escorts, in addition, he also selected four hundred people with strong martial arts in the Fenghua Society to come to Liaodong, plus six hundred forbidden troops for a total of 1,000 people.

These 1,000 people are the soldiers and horses that he can mobilize with full power, the 600 forbidden army is personally commanded by Zhang Zhiqi, the commander of the forbidden army, and the 400 skilled martial arts are led by Fang Yichen and Yan Nantian. Zhang Zhiqi originally shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial city and could not easily leave Beijing, but at Sun Yueling's strong request, he still came together, because Zhang Zhiqi had been tempered in the border army in his early years, and it was of course a good thing to have this person who knew military affairs by his side, and there was no need to worry about no one being available in an emergency, and no one could be adjusted.

After entering the Yamen Hall, Sun Yueling and Yuan Chonghuan both sat on the main seat, and the rest of the generals were separated.

Yuan Chonghuan first opened the conversation, and after saying that the Son of Heaven was important, and sent Sun Yueling to pass through Liaodong, and all the generals must unite as one and fight the Tartars together, he turned to Sun Yueling and asked: "Lord Sun has come from Beijing, I don't know if he has brought the emperor's will?" What did the imperial court think about this battle? ”

Sun Yueling smiled faintly, Yuan Chonghuan was touching his bottom, and by the way, he probed the intentions of the imperial court for this battle, and said loudly: "Lord Yuan, generals, before going to Liao, I am grateful to the emperor for personally receiving him, and solemnly entrusting Liao affairs to this official. Here, I can tell you that the emperor and all the elders of the cabinet are all in favor of fighting against the Tartars and preparing for war with all their might, so all of you here must not think about anything wrong, and must unite as one to completely repel the enemy of the Houjin invasion! ”

"Well said, Emperor Shengming!" A general on the left shouted, ignoring the generals' stunned eyes, it was the Shanhaiguan General Soldier Man Gui.

Sun Yueling noticed it, and after he said this, Yuan Chonghuan's face suddenly darkened, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled imperceptibly a few times. How could Sun Yueling not know Yuan Chonghuan's thoughts, his words were tantamount to denying his "discussion" in the past six months, which made him unhappy in his heart, but who can blame him, everything is just him Yuan Chonghuan cocooning himself, and now he can only swallow the bitter fruit alone.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, Yuan Chonghuan began to communicate with Houjin, and frequently sent envoys to Shenyang. Since Yuan Chonghuan achieved the so-called "Ningyuan victory", perhaps his long-suppressed heart began to swell, and he even privately sent an envoy to Houjin to "hang the old slave of filial piety", and only then wrote to the court to explain the matter, and said in the note that sending the envoy to hang filial piety is just "use" and "snooping", and the real meaning is to spy on the reality of Houjin and separate the eight major Baylors.

At the beginning, Tianqi and the cabinet believed Yuan Chonghuan's statement, and also acquiesced in the progress of this matter, but the more things developed, the more shocking everyone became.

The development of things is far more than that, Huang Taiji also took advantage of the war of words with Yuan Chonghuan at the same time, sent envoys to the Mongolian tribes to publicize that the Ming Dynasty had sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Later Jin, so that the Mongolian tribes would give up their hostility to the Later Jin and form a friendship together. This move greatly shocked the major Mongol tribes in southern Monan, and led to the fact that when the Ming court sent envoys to the Mongolian tribes, the Mongols actually whipped the envoys sent by the Ming court, and said that you Han people do not have a good thing, and they made a truce with Houjin, but let us go to death.

Yuan Chonghuan did nothing at this time, and the act of "money discussion" was out of control from then on, from the beginning of the use of spying gradually to show favor and indulgence, causing Mongolia and Korea to resentment towards the Ming Dynasty and deviate from Germany. Yuan Chonghuan was unaware of this, but the Ming court noticed this astonishing change, so the Apocalypse issued several orders to reprimand Yuan Chonghuan, telling him to step up preparations for war and not to be paralyzed by Houjin.

But it was too late, and by the time Yuan Chonghuan woke up, Houjin had already moved westward towards Jinzhou City. Now that Jinzhou has been besieged by Houjin, Zhao Shujiao, Zuo Fu, Zhu Mei and others are uncertain about their life and death, and they don't know if they can support it.

However, before the post-blonde army in Jinzhou, Yuan Chonghuan was still doing things with Yan Mingtai to exclude the ministers of the former King of Jinglu, and Yuan Chonghuan and Yan Mingtai also played together with Yan Mingtai to invite Wei Zhongxian to establish a shrine and pat Wei Zhongxian's sycophants. For example, today, the Qihe Imperial Court has made a clear statement on the "Discussion of Sections" and denied Yuan Chonghuan's move, so Sun Yueling passed through Liaodong at the behest of the Imperial Court, urging the officials and troops of Liaodong to make every effort to prepare for war and resist the enemy of the Later Jin Dynasty.

After Yuan Chonghuan heard Sun Yueling announce the intentions of the imperial court, he was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Since Sun Jingluo brought the will of the imperial court, then we should act according to the will of the imperial court, and this is also the duty of our Liaodong officers and soldiers." After a pause, the conversation changed, "But the imperial court has ordered it earlier, and Ning Yuan's department should not be moved lightly, but should use his army and horses to gallop to Jinzhou." If the four cities of Ningyuan are lost, the mountains and seas will shake, and the safety of the world is at stake, so you can't act rashly! ”

Sun Yueling frowned when he heard this, the Guanning army is currently the most powerful army outside the Guan, if the Guanning army can't be mobilized, what can be done to save Jinzhou City? Patiently asked, "As Lord Yuan said, how should we arrange it?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan looked around and said slowly: "I have four methods to solve the siege of Jinzhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals, including Sun Yueling, looked at him, wanting to hear what feasible strategies he had.

Yuan Chonghuan continued: "First, recruit 200 dead soldiers and let them storm the Yi camp, such as Yang Su used the widow method to deter Houjin; second, recruit dead soldiers in Sichuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and use firearms and artillery to attack the Jinzhong military camp at night, or kill its thieves; third, he ordered the admiral of the water division Fu Yizhao to drive the water division to the east, plagiarized the Houjin back road, and cut off its grain and grass; Fourth, Lama Wang sent an envoy to the Mongolian Khalkha tribes, so that the Mongols could raid Shenyang, the capital of Houjin, from the north, or force Houjin to return to the division. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals couldn't stop nodding, and Ning Yuan's deputy general Zu Dashou echoed his words: "What your lord said is extremely true, this is the right way at the moment, and the last general will approve it." ”

Sun Yueling's brows furrowed even deeper, was Yuan Chonghuan deceiving him for not knowing soldiers, or did he feel too good about himself? Taking a deep breath, he looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Lord Yuan, can these four methods really retreat from the enemy?" ”

"Uh......" Yuan Chonghuan groaned slightly, nodded slightly, and said, "Do your best to know the destiny of heaven, or you can do it or not!" ”

"Or maybe it will work?" Sun Yueling only felt a wave of heat surging up from the dantian, and he almost couldn't help but rebuke him bluntly, but finally held back, and said patiently, "Lord Yuan, what you just said about the four methods of retreating from the enemy, please forgive this official for not agreeing, at this time, the elite of the Houjin Eight Banners is exhausted, and only one or two hundred dead soldiers can retreat from the enemy camp, which is inevitably a little optimistic, if this can deter Houjin, then wouldn't the Houjin Eight Banners armor soldiers be in vain and vulnerable?" As for the Sichuan and Zhejiang dead soldiers who can attack the enemy camp at night with artillery and firearms, they can kill the thieves, which is completely based on luck, what if they can't hit the thieves? Didn't these hundreds of people go to their deaths again in vain? ”

The more Sun Yueling spoke, the more excited he became, and said, "The sailor went east to copy his back road and cut off his grain and grass, but if it is to be successfully implemented, the sailor must also go ashore, right?" If they go ashore, who can guarantee that they will be able to find the location of Houjin's hoarding of grain and grass? Who can guarantee that they will be able to defeat the Houjin army that protects the grain? The last method, that is, what the adults just said, send lamas to the Mongolian Khalkha tribes, so that the Mongols can send troops to contain them, but as far as I know, when I was a year ago, Houjin sent troops to destroy the three departments of the five Khalkha tribes, such as fried flowers, Hongjira, and Jiaoyao, and now only Zalut and Bahrain are left in the five Khalkha tribes. ”

About the Mongolian tribe of these circumstances, he also learned when he served in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, this is all happened after the "Ningjin Victory", the former slave chief of the Later Jin Dynasty Nurhachi in Ningyuan after the setback, turned to sprinkle a anger on the Khalkha five tribes who sent troops to secretly help the Ming Dynasty, and immediately sent troops to attack the Khalkha tribes, the Khalkha five alliances were beaten to the ground, and the leader of the five alliances, Zhuo Liktu, was also robbed by Lin Dan Khan, the leader of the Khan tribes, when he was defeated and took the Xilamulun River, As a result, a large group of people in the Khalkha steppe was completely lost.

At present, Sun Yueling's words are refuted one by one in response to the four methods of retreat proposed by Yuan Chonghuan, and the words are conclusive and reasonable, Yuan Chonghuan and the others suddenly became extremely difficult to look at, Yuan Chonghuan snorted, stared at Sun Yueling and said: "Since Lord Sun's words are amazing, there must be a way to retreat from the enemy, please say that you know with us, and we are stupid!" ”

Sun Yueling actually didn't have a foolproof plan in his heart, but he felt that Yuan Chonghuan's four methods of retreating from the enemy seemed to be perfunctory, prevaricating, and it was impossible to achieve the goal at all, so he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Yuan, in fact, I haven't thought of a proper method in my heart, so I want to discuss it with everyone and listen to everyone's meaning." After a pause, he said, "However, since the imperial court ordered us not to sit idly by and watch the predicament of Jinzhou, why don't we transfer the Guan Ning army and Jizhen soldiers to the north to meet the enemy?" It is impossible to hope that Houjin will take the initiative to withdraw his troops now, we still need to do something! ”

"Make a difference?" A general snorted coldly and interjected, "Is Lord Jingliu ignorant of soldiers or wishful thinking?" Don't you know that Houjin's best thing is to surround and send reinforcements? Sending troops north to meet the enemy, didn't he fall into Houjin's trap? ”
