No wind, no waves. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sun Chengzong quietly looked at the young general in front of him, who was full of vigor and fortitude, his mind flowed, but he was silent.

In fact, from the time Li Yuanqing single-handedly captured Hu Erhan, the auxiliary minister of Houjin, Sun Chengzong set his sights on this cutting-edge general in southern Liaoning.

And in the past few years, Li Yuanqing really did not disappoint him.

Last year's Jinzhou and Lushun, this year's Fuzhou, the second and third years of the Apocalypse, the most important battles in Liaodi, Li Yuanqing almost all of them, and was the most critical core, facing the threat of the main force of Houjin several times.

Sun Chengzong also thought about recruiting Li Yuanqing under his command and cultivating him well, but he was rejected by Li Yuanqing several times.

However, although Sun Chengzong did not have much contact with Li Yuanqing, in these days in western Liaoning, he had to read every battle report about Li Yuanqing, and sometimes even read it many times.

Li Yuanqing is also quite sensible, and whenever there is a war report of a big war, he will give Sun Chengzong a copy in time to facilitate Sun Chengzong's research and analysis.

This time, even if there is not much time for face-to-face contact, Sun Chengzong admits that he still knows Li Yuanqing's temperament very well.

This young man is brave and resourceful, calm and decisive, and he is 'words must be done, deeds must be fruitful', good at making strange moves, but he does not drag the mud and water at all.

At this time, looking at Li Yuanqing's eyes full of energy, Sun Chengzong already had a number in his heart.

Since Li Yuanqing dared to boast about this Haikou, he must have made careful preparations.

After a moment of silence, Sun Chengzong stared at Li Yuanqing's eyes and said, "Yuanqing, what do you want the old man to help you?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, did not avoid Sun Chengzong's gaze, and said respectfully: "Pavilion Elder, I want to be the chief military officer of Changsheng Island." ”

"Chief Officer of Immortal Island?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned, he didn't expect Li Yuanqing to make such a direct request, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This, this is a bit crude and straightforward.

Li Yuanqing's face was not too unusual, he looked at Sun Chengzong respectfully, and quietly waited for him to react.

If you follow common sense, whether you are a person or a person, you must not be so reckless, or even rude.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing deeply understood what Sun Chengzong needed.

This old man, as the teacher of the current emperor and the most senior cabinet elder in the cabinet, can be said to be already a very popular minister.

He was wholeheartedly loyal to the Ming Dynasty and adhered to the way of Confucianism.

As far as he is concerned, he already has everything he should have, and he has almost reached the peak of his life.

But at this time, the trouble of Houjin is the point that he can't let go of the most.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing was born out of thin air, and in southern Liaoning, he helped Dongjiang lay such a large foundation, so that now the Ming Dynasty is several times superior to the situation in Liaoning to deal with the situation of Houjin than in history.

It's just that, even so, the Ming Dynasty can only take a defensive position against the Houjin army, and if they want to recover their homeland, they will fight to Liaoyang and Shenyang, and there is still a very long way to go.

At this time, although the Dongjiang River was still nominally under the rule of Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, in fact, the Dongjiang Group under the leadership of Mao Wenlong was basically self-contained, and there were few entanglements with the side of western Liaoning.

In general righteousness, Sun Chengzong can indeed command Mao Wenlong, but in reality, it is difficult for him to be as familiar as his hands and feet as the Guan Ning army under his command.

After Wang Zaijin left his post in Liaoxi, the affairs of Liaoxi were basically supported by Sun Chengzong on his own.

The establishment of Ningyuan City and the structure of the defense line of Daling River and Jinzhou have gradually stabilized the defense system of western Liaoning.

This time, organizing an elite cavalry that can fight with Houjin Field is Sun Chengzong's greatest pursuit at this time, and it is also the most precious wealth he wants to leave to future generations.

It's just that after losing Guangning, he wants to purchase war horses from Mongolia again, and even if he can buy some, most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates, and the price is ridiculously expensive.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing actually ......

Although this is a bit too rough, it also hits Sun Chengzong's heart.

"Yuanqing, tell me about your plan!"

Sun Chengzong did not rush to answer Li Yuanqing, but changed the topic.

The corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth curled slightly, he already understood that this old man was tempted, and said respectfully: "Elder Ge, regarding the matter of Mongolia, I have actually been thinking about it for a long time. In the past few years, in the process of fighting against the main force of Houjin, the lowly position has really suffered the hardships of Houjin Jingqi. Therefore, the formation of a cavalry, which can fight with the Houjin army in the field, and can entangle with the Houjin army at worst, is the greatest ideal of the humble post at this time. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and motioned for Li Yuanqing to continue, Li Yuanqing's words are probably the most intimate and straightforward words of the front-line generals in Liaodi.

Li Yuanqing continued: "Elder Ge, if you want to attack Mongolia, you must first be familiar with the terrain. He was a native of Shenyang, and had followed caravans on the Mongolian front line in his early years, so he had some understanding of the location of nearby Mongolian tribes. Moreover, Lin Dan Khan is weak, the people of all Mongolian tribes are panicking, and many people are willing to become the minions of Houjin and help the abuse, this momentum is absolutely unacceptable. The reason why the former champion Hou frightened the Huns was that the most critical point was that he hurt them. Although he does not have the bravery of the champion Hou, he is also willing to give it a try, no matter how bad it is, it will hurt the Horqin Department, so that they dare not get close to Houjin like this. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "Champion Hou's bravery is indeed admirable. But Yuanqing, you don't have cavalry, you can't outrun cattle and sheep on the grassland, if you encounter the main force of Houjin, how should you deal with it? ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Elder Ge, although the humble position is to attack Mongolia, it is not at this time. Moreover, it is not to follow the path in our traditional sense and start from Quang Ninh. ”

"Oh?"

Sun Chengzong looked at Li Yuanqing and motioned for Li Yuanqing to continue.

Li Yuanqing took out a map from his arms, which he improved on the existing map of the Ming Dynasty according to the memories of later generations, and emphatically marked the location of Heilongjiang.

When Sun Chengzong saw the map, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Li Yuanqing explained carefully: "Elder Ge, it is now May and June, the grassland is rich in water and grass, and the climate is pleasant, so it is really unwise to send troops now. The meaning of humility is to wait until after October, the weather is cold and frozen, by the sea, to the entrance of this river, upstream, straight into the heart of Houjin, from the Horqin Department, all the way to the west, and finally, from Datong or Ningxia Town, back to Daming. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded heavily, but said: "The old man also heard that at the end of the northern land, there is such a big river. But if it's winter, the forest is dense, and the snow covers the mountain, Yuanqing, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Li Yuanqing had already prepared and explained carefully: "Ge Lao, although the weather in the north is very cold, but in October, it is only the beginning of winter, and it is not yet the worst degree. If things go well, and the grain and grass are obtained from the Horqin tribe, the humble position can go all the way west to find the royal tent of Lin Dan Khan. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded heavily, and also understood the feasibility of Li Yuanqing's plan.

The Mongols wander and graze in the summer, and have the time and opportunity to choose the most fertile pastures, but once it is late winter, they will also find a sheltered place with water sources to recuperate and survive the cold winter, just like the Han people.

As long as Li Yuanqing can enter the Horqin Department within the predetermined time, and achieve victory, and obtain the replenishment of the war horse, he can search all the way along the river, and finally, find the royal tent of Lin Dan Khan.

However, Li Yuanqing's plan has too big a risk factor, and it is completely blind to touch the elephant, and it is difficult to have a fixed plan and itinerary, and it is completely based on the keen sense of smell of the main general.

"Yuanqing, to be honest, the old man doesn't agree with your plan, it's too risky!" Sun Chengzong shook his head slowly.

Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry, and said respectfully: "Ge Lao, we Han people have an old saying, wealth is only sought in danger!" Back then, the champion Hou probably didn't have a clear plan, that is, to move forward with a knife, the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, and the gods blocked and killed the gods! This is the prestige of the Han Dynasty! Although he is not talented, since he embarked on the road of being a soldier, he has already put life and death out of the way! Please also ask the elder to be perfect! ”

Li Yuanqing said, knelt on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed to Sun Chengzong a few times.

Sun Chengzong's face softened at this time, and he personally helped Li Yuanqing up, "Yuanqing, I already know about Zhang Pan." These days, you must have been wronged in your heart, right? Young people are energetic, and that's a good thing. But this matter is too risky! If the Jin army re-attacks southern Liaoning, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Li Yuanqing said: "The elder may not know that Mao Shuai has appointed Shen Shikui, a guerrilla from the Dongjiang Headquarters, as the Lushun Metropolitan Division. In this expedition, only one person and one force, Chen Zhong will stay on Guanglu Island. With the defensive strength of Shen Shikui and Chen Zhong, even if they can't open up, they should not have much of a problem in defending it. ”

At this point, Sun Chengzong still didn't understand that Li Yuanqing had already made up his mind, shook his head a little tiredly, and said, "Yuanqing, in fact, you really don't have to be like this!" ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly kowtowed respectfully, "I implore the elder of the pavilion to be fulfilled!" ”

Sun Chengzong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after a long time, he said: "Yuanqing, if you go, it will take at least a year, right?" ”

Li Yuanqing sighed and said: "This matter is not expected in detail, if it goes well, I am afraid it will not be used for a year, but if it doesn't go well......"

Li Yuanqing did not say any more.

Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "Yuanqing, you are a good boy. The old man can agree to this. But the old man has only one request! You~~~~, you must come back alive! ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, "The humble post will definitely come back alive, and come back to kowtow to the old man again!" ”

…………

Li Yuanqing did not choose to stay and accompany Sun Chengzong to dinner, he knew that Sun Chengzong also needed time to think carefully about how to reach a deal between the two.

Frankly speaking, with Li Yuanqing's exploits, the entire Ming Dynasty is almost unmatched.

is Mao Wenlong, and he can only look at him.

is just a general soldier, and it is the general soldier of Changsheng Island, not the general army of southern Liaoning, which is not a difficult matter at all.

But Li Yuanqing must be too young and from the grassroots, and he is too much in the limelight at this time, so he will inevitably encounter all kinds of resistance.

Li Yuanqing also knows this.

If he is appointed as the chief soldier, I am afraid that the first person to oppose it will be Mao Wenlong.

It was difficult for Mao Wenlong to allow Li Yuanqing to jump out of the circle of Dongjiang.

Even if Gonggong Wei nodded, the emperor also nodded, but Mao Wenlong wanted to suppress it, and the little emperor of the Apocalypse and Gonggong Wei also had to consider what Mao Wenlong meant.

But Sun Chengzong opened this mouth, but the meaning is different.

With Sun Chengzong's qualifications, he wants to put forward this suggestion, which is justified, and with the joint efforts of Gonggong Wei and the emperor, the probability of success can reach more than ninety percent at once.

Mao Wenlong can no longer regret his thighs with his small arms.

Of course, there is a very key reason why Li Yuanqing is so eager, even rash.

Sun Chengzong is a good person.

He is a good person who is highly respected in the entire Ming Empire.

It's a pity that his position is not as stable as people seem.

Li Yuanqing must take advantage of this old man's resignation to give full play to his greatest power and brilliance.
