"Shut up, what is your identity that you dare to talk to Lord Jinglu like this?" Yan Nantian scolded angrily and shouted at this sarcastic general. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sun Yueling raised his hand to stop Yan Nantian's drinking, and glanced at this general who spoke out of the corner of his eye, this person's eight-character eyebrows, looking bitter and hateful, was the deputy general of Ningyuan, Zu Dashou, who had previously spoken out in favor of Yuan Chonghuan's four methods of retreating.

However, how could he be as knowledgeable as Zu Dashou, he turned to Yuan Chonghuan and asked, "What does Lord Yuan think?" "Yuan Chonghuan is the governor of Liaodong, he has served in Liaodong for many years, most of these Liaozuo generals have a deep relationship with him, and they are restrained by him.

Yuan Chonghuan stroked his long hair and said lightly: "Ben Fu has said before that the Guan Ning army must not be moved lightly, and General Zu has also said just now that Houjin is best at encircling points to send reinforcements, and now I am afraid that we have opened our pockets and are waiting for us to rush in, so the matter of transferring troops to the north should not be taken lightly!" ”

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words fell, the hall immediately became noisy, and many generals discussed it privately, saying that Yuan Chonghuan's words were extremely true, but there were also a few generals who seemed to be dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan, and talked in a low voice there, full of anxiety and indignation. Sun Yueling noticed that most of the generals who were dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan were Jizhen generals Man Gui, Sun Zushou and others, while Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi, and others, the generals of the Ningyuan Guanning Army Headquarters, obeyed Yuan Chonghuan's words and echoed them.

Sun Yueling took a deep breath and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Lord Yuan, the imperial court means to let us act actively and take the initiative, but if we sit in Ningyuan, in case...... In case Jinzhou City is broken, what should we do? At this time, he had to carry out the court to suppress Yuan Chonghuan and make him realize the consequences of the whole thing. Although the Battle of Ningjin in the later generations did not seem to have fallen to Jinzhou City, by this time history had already undergone some deviations, and he did not dare to guarantee that things would develop according to the previous trajectory.

"It's impossible!" Yuan Chonghuan stood up suddenly, and said this loudly, which surprised everyone including Sun Yueling, and then continued, "The Ningjin defense line was built by half of my Ming Dynasty's manpower and material resources, it is as solid as a rock and cannot be urged, and it is simply difficult for the Houjin army to conquer Jinzhou, and it is impossible to do it." He still has some confidence in saying this, Daming Field Can't beat Houjin, but there is no problem to say that there is no problem with the defense of the city, last year Houjin Army suffered a big loss under Ningyuan City, he didn't believe that Houjin could conquer the tall Jinzhou City.

Sun Yueling said lightly: "Lord Yuan is so confident? ”

Yuan Chonghuan looked around at the generals and said: "As early as when the Sun Pavilion Department passed through Liaodong, it had already set the defense strategy of 'building forts gradually', and the Ministry fully agreed with it. If the city is attacked strongly, then we can defend the city and bombard it with artillery; The Houjin state is weak and the soldiers are scarce, how can they afford a protracted war? And we are different, we rely on Shanhaiguan in the north, with the entire Ming country as the backing, logistics worry-free, is to fight consumption, but also to consume the Houjin, consume to death, so, as long as it can be stalemate for a long time, Houjin must return in vain, retreat and return! ”

Speaking of this, his voice raised again: "This is the policy that I have made clear to the emperor 'keep the right, fight for the odd, and be the side', as long as Zhao Shujiao, Zuo Fu, and Zhu Mei can drag Houjin back, and when they run out of food and soldiers, it will be the day when we can do something." And with this method of gradual fortification, we will one day advance to the Sancha River and retake the territory occupied by the Houjin! ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded in praise.

After listening to Yuan Chonghuan's words, Sun Yueling finally understood, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

In later generations, he was puzzled by Yuan Chonghuan's actions, and he didn't understand why Yuan Chonghuan targeted the Dongjiang Army, and also beheaded Mao Wenlong, the commander of the Dongjiang River; For the Mongol tribes that fell to the Later Jin, Yuan Chonghuan also took the act of letting them go and did not effectively restrain them.

Now that he finally understood Yuan Chonghuan's intentions, he dared to show that Yuan Chonghuan was convinced of Sun Chengzong's fortress tactics, and believed that this method was a perfect strategy and the most effective method for Liao affairs. This explains why he dared to abandon Dongjiang Town and ignore the power of the Mongol tribes, because he had already made up his mind and respected it, that is, to advance all the way to the Sancha River by building a castle, so as to restore the land seized by the Houjin.

Thinking of this, Sun Yueling sighed in his heart, Sun Chengzong's "fortress gradual method" was based on "defending the Liao land with Liao people" and "reorganizing the army", and Sun Chengzong did not give up Mongolia and Korea, but adopted a multi-pronged approach, and prescribed several prescriptions for the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong chronic disease; Now that Yuan Chonghuan has tasted a little sweetness in the battle of Ningyuan, he has completely abandoned the practice of building elite soldiers and strong generals and post-Jinye war fronts, but has pressed everything on "building a city", and all the other methods have been abandoned, isn't this too paranoid?

It is no wonder that since last year, when Houjin conquered Mongolia in the west and Korea in the east, he did not move like a mountain, it turned out that he was thinking of building cities and fortresses, and planned to take advantage of the time when Houjin was flawless to deal with the Ming Dynasty, and build the Ningjin defense line into an impregnable iron bucket. And his battle strategy was also vividly exerted when he took charge of Liaodong twice before and after, that is, "relying on the fortified city and using cannons" to block the Houjin in the defense line that was fully operational.

But does it really work? Without an army that is enough to contend with, even if it can confront Houjin head-on without being defeated, can it really advance to the Sancha River with the advance of the fortress alone?

As a latecomer, Sun Yueling naturally saw farther than them, and although Yuan Chonghuan's fortress advance tactics blocked Houjin from going south from Liaozuo, it also cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, so that the entire Ming Dynasty was tied to this defense line. The original intention of the fortress tactics was to rely on solid manpower and material resources to resist and consume Houjin, but in reality it was often unsatisfactory, and this "Maginot Line" not only did not consume Houjin, but was constantly destroyed by Houjin because of repeated excessive investment, and Houjin often took advantage of the fact that the defense line was not solid, and plundered a large number of weapons, food and people from this defense line.

To put it mildly, this line of defense not only failed to resist Houjin, but instead became the "ATM" of Houjin, and Houjin repeatedly obtained rich resources from this defense line when the country was in crisis, and survived one difficulty after another.

Sun Yueling smiled bitterly in his heart, I am afraid that many people in the Ming court, including Yuan Chonghuan, are not aware at this moment that this line of defense not only did not consume the gold after death, but they could not take care of their own lives, but they were happy about it and enthusiastic.

It's just unbelievable.

In later generations, those who have played Age of Empires and Red Alert should know that it is impossible to retreat the enemy's base with tower burst tactics alone, and in the end, it is necessary to rely on living forces to win the victory. The game is still like this, not to mention that the two countries are at war, and without a strong enough army, everything else is in vain.

At this time, Sun Yueling faintly gave birth to a vague outline in his heart, at the moment the Ming army is not enough to confront the Houjin head-on, but if you rely on the Korean, Dongjiang and Mongolian tribes, it may not be able to delay the development and growth of the Houjin, until the Ming Dynasty overcomes the internal difficulties, and slowly builds an army that is enough to confront the Houjin - even if it cannot directly confront the Houjin, but rely on all aspects of the strength to contain the Houjin, from the economic, political, ideological and other aspects to consume it, At least it can be trapped in a corner of Liaodong, and it is difficult to escape from the encirclement laid by the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Sun Yueling's mind shook suddenly, and his thoughts became clearer. Yes, it is necessary to contain it and consume it from all aspects, and finally achieve the goal of dragging it down and trapping it, so as to solve the misfortune of Liaodong.

"A three-way strategy!" Sun Yueling's tiger body was shaken, and the method of Pingliao taught by Xiong Tingbi in prison instantly came to mind, and at this moment, this strategy seemed to be the best way to Pingliao, rather than relying on Yuan Chonghuan's so-called fortress advance tactics alone.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Yueling also stood up and said loudly: "Lord Yuan, generals, this official thinks that the strategy of advancing the fortress is feasible, but we must not rely on this strategy alone and ignore the overall situation of the whole Liao, so we will only fall into a lasting passivity. Xiong Tingbi, a former minister of Liaodong, once discussed the 'three-way strategy' to report to the imperial court, I think at this time, this method is the best way to level Liao, we are not enough to rely on ourselves, but also rely on the strength of Mongolia, Korea, and even Dongjiang Town, in order to complete the strategic encirclement of Houjin, and finally achieve the goal of strangling it. ”

"A three-way strategy?" Yuan Chonghuan sneered and said unceremoniously: "When Xiong Tingbi used this method when he passed through Liaodong, he didn't see much effect, but he lost his teacher and lost the city, and was defeated in Guangning, and finally ended up with a first-handed nine-sided ending. Looking at Sun Yueling, he sneered, "Now that Lord Sun has passed through Liaodong, do you also want to use this untimely method?" Do you want to repeat in the footsteps of Xiong Tingbi and harm my Liaodong events? ”

This is a very serious matter, not only did not give him this strategic face, but also said sarcastically, saying that he wanted to emulate Xiong Tingbi and compete with the governor, but in the end he ended up in a different place.

Sun Yueling finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered: "Out of place? Lord Yuan's words are really alarmist! Is it appropriate for you to ignore the Later Jin's conquest of Korea, ignore the Later Jin's attack on the Dongjiang River, not send troops to Shenyang, and allow Mongolia to collude and build captives? You must know that now that North Korea has formed an alliance with the Houjin, Dongjiang Town has suffered heavy casualties, the Mongolian tribes have deviated from our Ming Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty is now about to become a lonely person. ”

As soon as these words fell, all the generals were surprised, but unexpectedly, the two giants of Liaodong quarreled as soon as they met.

Yuan Chonghuan was even more angry, his face turned red, and he said angrily to Sun Yueling: "North Korea is a small country, Mao Wenlong has few generals, and Mongolia is capricious, if you rely on them to strangle Houjin, it is simply a fantasy!" ”
