After deciding on the plan to send troops, everyone discussed the specific troop transfer matters and logistical supplies, and it didn't take long for them to disperse and start to prepare. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sun Yueling, Fang Yichen, Yan Nantian and others went out of the governor's yamen and were led by Bi Zisu to resettle. Ningyuan City is too small, even Yuan Chonghuan's governor yamen occupies the original military yamen, and the former minister of the king of Jinglu even set up the yamen in Shanhaiguan, so there is no official place for Sun Yueling here.

As a last resort, they had no choice but to settle down in a private house first, planning to slowly build a new Jingluo Yamen. The military situation was urgent, and they had to set off tomorrow, so the preparation for the establishment of the yamen could only be postponed and handed over to those soap officials brought from Beijing. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still half a day and one night, Sun Yueling planned to seize the time to understand the current military situation and some of the current situations in various towns and provinces in eastern Liaodong.

Unexpectedly, when he entered the residence with his front foot, there was a report from the back foot, saying that Man Gui and Sun Zushou came to see him together. Sun Yueling hurriedly greeted them in person and welcomed them into the house to talk.

After entering the house and sitting down, Man Gui said to him: "Lord Jingluo, only 6,000 soldiers and horses went to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, and Yuan Chonghuan clearly asked us to die." Sun Zushou also nodded, expressing his agreement with Man Gui's words.

Sun Yueling as early as the center, there are many people who have heard that Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan do not agree, and now as soon as he comes out of the governor's yamen, Man Gui calls his name without respect, and it seems that the contradiction between them is really deep. However, this is not a bad thing for him, signaling the two of them to be calm for a while, and said: "Two generals, how can Ben Jingluo not know that the number of 6,000 to meet the 60,000 people of Houjin is to hit the stone with eggs, but first, the imperial court has ordered us to follow, second, how can my Ming army sit and watch the defeat of friendly troops, and third, if we don't send a single soldier, wouldn't it make Houjin underestimate us even more." Therefore, it is imperative to send troops this time, and it has to be so! ”

Man Gui frowned and said: "Man Gui is a rough man, don't blame me for speaking directly, could it be that the adults plan to use these six thousand people to break through the defense line laid by the Tartars, and want to rush to Jinzhou City in one fell swoop?" ”

Sun Yueling smiled slightly when he heard this, this Man Gui is cute, he regarded him as a scholar who knew no soldiers and only relied on the blood in his chest, thinking that he had a virtue with those Wenchen who only knew how to talk about rhetoric in the court, and said: "General Man is really refreshing, since you say so, then I don't plan to hide it from you, in fact, I have already thought about it, this time the battle may be really as Lord Yuan said, we can fight, we can fight, we can fight, we will retreat, so the principle of this battle is only eight words, that is, 'flexible mobility, attack and harass guerrilla warfare', and never confront the enemy head-on." ”

Man Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is an adult's words Man Gui is relieved, I have heard for a long time that the Lord pacified the southwest and operated Zhejiang and Fujian. ”

Sun Yueling laughed dumbly, Man Gui actually patted his fart, I'm afraid that his farts are just to put a hoop on himself in advance, so that he can always remember today's words, so that he will not be hot-headed and order the army to rush up and Houjin hard bar, and said: "Why did General Man say this, this scripture is just a scholar, but you have been in the army for a long time, and you know the military affairs well, and you have to rely on the general for this expedition!" ”

Man Gui hugged his fist at him and said, "My lord, but I have a life, how dare Man Gui disobey!" ”

Sun Yueling asked the two, "I don't know what the two generals think about this battle?" Although he has experienced the front, he is still not as good as these generals who have been in the army for a long time to lead the troops to fight, and he still knows a little about the overall situation and the strategic level, but when it comes to marching and arranging, attacking cities and grabbing land, he still has to listen to the opinions of these generals, and he still knows his own family affairs.

Man Gui said with a serious face: "Lord Hui, six thousand men and horses are not too much, but not too little, if they are used properly, they should be able to inflict a certain degree of damage on the enemy." Now that Jinzhou is besieged, the Tartars will definitely send troops to block the way for our reinforcements, so the first thing we have to do is to find out how many troops the Tartars have sent to block the attack, and who will be in command. ”

Sun Yueling nodded and said: "Yes, what you said is very reasonable, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles." ”

Sun Zushou frowned and said: "But my lord, we sent several waves of scouts to Jinzhou to investigate the military situation, these people are all capable scouts who are familiar with the terrain of Liaozuo, but no one has returned so far, it can be seen that the Tartars also sent capable scouts to ambush us, and nine times out of ten are people with high martial arts, and all the people we sent were killed." ”

Sun Yueling frowned and said: "I heard that there is a Chongding League in Liaodong, and the alliance is full of people with strong martial arts. ”

Man Gui raised his eyebrows and said: "What the lord said is right, the scouts we sent are all veterans, and there is no shortage of people with strong martial arts, and those who can kill them without knowing it must be the people of the Chongding League." ”

Sun Yueling asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Man Gui continued: "My lord entered Liaodong this time, and I heard that my lord has brought a lot of capable people from the Fenghua Society, and even Fang Yichen, the old soldier of the department, is also among them. I have a suggestion, why don't you send Fang Yichen to lead our army's scout team to Jinyou to investigate again, maybe it will be successful. I understand Lord Fang's ability, back then he also single-handedly broke into Liaoyang City to assassinate the slave chief, although he did not succeed, but he also retreated, and the people of the Chongding League should be unable to stop him. ”

"Oh?" Sun Yueling didn't expect Man Gui to say this, and said, "Your proposal is very good, you can give it a try." ”

Man Guixi said: "Then please leave it to my lord." ”

Sun Yueling nodded and said, "I'll let Fang Yichen go to the military camp in a while, you go and prepare, and set off on time tomorrow morning." ”

"No!" The two of them got up and answered, and turned to go.

After Man Gui and Sun Zushou left, Sun Yueling hurriedly summoned Fang Yichen to come and told him the suggestions of the two. After hearing this, Fang Yichen immediately agreed to be willing to go to Jinyou to investigate, so Sun Yueling ordered him to take people to the Mangui military camp immediately.

Fang Yichen quickly took people with him after receiving the order.

After sending Fang Yichen away, some Liaodong officials and generals came to visit him, including some people he knew when he was an official in the center, and they were very happy to meet Sun Yueling, and met them one by one, although these were officials under Yuan Chonghuan, but they were able to come to visit at this time, which shows that they still have a lot of respect for their Liaodong strategy, and from this point of view alone, Yuan Chonghuan's power in Liaodong is not monolithic, as long as he does things properly, he still has a lot to do.

After dealing with these people, it was already nightfall, and Sun Yueling was about to go to Mangui and Sun Zushou after dinner, but a soap Li came to report, saying that Zou Ruoyu, the senator of the governor's yamen, had come to visit.

"Zou Ruoyu?" Sun Yueling closed his eyes, and after a little thought, he remembered this person. When he patrolled Sichuan, Zou Ruoyu was the probable officer of the Sichuan Inspectorate and cooperated with him to exterminate the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan, but he didn't expect that he was also in Liaodong.

Sun Yueling hurriedly greeted him, Zou Ruoyu had a great friendship with him, and the two could be said to be friends in distress.

Out of the courtyard gate, Sun Yueling saw the tall and thin Zou Ruoyu standing there, with a solemn and cautious expression.

Seeing him come out, Zou Ruoyu hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage, and said: "Lord Sun, there was a lot of inconvenience before, and the lower officials came to see him at this time, and I hope that Lord Haihan!" ”

Sun Yueling helped him up and said with a smile: "Old Zou, I haven't seen you for many years, you want to mess with me!" He looked him up and down and said, "You seem to be a little fatter than before, not bad." ”

Zou Ruo smiled foolishly: "Let the adults laugh, I am idle, so I have a little blessing, no more than the adults you worry about national affairs, and now it is still the same as before, but it looks more majestic and calm." ”

Sun Yueling laughed and said, "I'm just working hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to get fat in this life." Pointing to the street outside, he said, "Let's go, let's talk while we walk." ”

Zou Ruoyu looked embarrassed and said, "My lord, let's go in and talk, right?" ”

Sun Yueling suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Oh, look at me, look at me, when I see my old friend, I am overjoyed, my mind is dizzy, you are right, let's go into the house and talk!" Zou Ruoyu didn't come before, but chose to come at this moment, obviously to avoid people's eyes, Sun Yueling was so happy that he ignored this stubble.

Sun Yueling took his hand and walked inward, and said, "Don't call me an adult on the left, an adult on the right, I can't bear it, just call me brother." ”

Zou Ruo smiled foolishly: "How dare you, how can the lower officials be out of proportion, since the adults don't dislike it, then I'll call you Lao Sun!" ”

"Wow." Sun Yueling said, "That's right, it looks kind!" ”

After the two of them entered and sat down, Sun Yueling said to him: "Lao Zou, when did you come to Liaodong, why don't I know at all?" ”

Zou Ruoyu sighed: "My lord doesn't know, after you and I helped Lord Zhu to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, I was promoted to the deputy envoy of the inspection because of my merits, and later when you inspected Fujian, I moved to the Criminal Department again to add a waiter, and there was still hope that I could be turned positive, but unfortunately because I offended Cui Chengxiu, he demoted me to Liaodong with a piece of impeachment, and now I am serving as a small senator in the governor's yamen, and the grade is a few levels lower than before......" Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed.

Sun Yueling sighed after hearing this: "I see, you actually offended Cui Chengxiu's house, hmph, this house was originally rectified by me, but it's a pity that Wei Zhongxian regarded him like a humerus, and he didn't know what means he used, and coaxed the emperor to promote him to the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and mastered the key supervision departments of the court." ”

Zou Ruo said with hatred: "Cui Chengxiu is greedy, has no ink, only knows how to flattery, and drills camp personnel, but he can occupy a high position in the court, and the court is really unladylike!" ”

Sun Yueling also snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, this guy won't be around for long, and he will definitely not end well!" ”
