Yang Fan said: "Everyone in the world knows that now that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is declining, and the Central Plains is constantly suffering, it is definitely not a good time to use troops. ”

"Yes."

Yang Fan took the map, touched it, turned it over, and said with a smile: "Yo, is it still the first batch to be produced?" "When Yang Fan was in Dalinghe, he made some leather maps, and most of them were given to some familiar generals. Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said, "I took it from Zu Dashou." On the front is a detailed map of Liaodong, and on the reverse is a map of the whole country, on which some forces are marked, such as Vietnam, Luzon, Yingzhou, and of course, Liaodong, Mongolia, and other places. Yang Fan put his finger on the chicken's buttocks and said, "Old Sun, take a closer look, from here to the easternmost side." There is something that Huang Taiji is willing to give up such a good opportunity, and he wants to win it in one fell swoop. ”

Following Yang Fan's fingers, Sun Chengzong squinted his eyes and swept over carefully. It was a long time before he spoke: "North Korea? Sun Chengzong, who had experienced many battles, carefully examined Shenyang according to the eyes of a strategist. According to his understanding of Huang Taiji's style, unlike his father Nurhachi, in addition to being able to fight well, he is more calm. This point, it can be seen from the original encirclement point reinforcement, there must be a master to help.

"If the old man's judgment is correct, judging from the fact that Huang Taiji first took southern Liaoning and pacified the Qi and Qi Ministry, he wanted to completely stabilize the situation in Liaodong. Then, Korea, as a vassal state, must be the last thing he wants to conquer. ”

"Sun Lao is really Sun Lao, and his eyes are vicious. It's just that you underestimated Huang Taiji's ambitions. In addition to this, there is also here. Yang Fan's finger was on the chicken's buttocks.

"Qinghai?"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's right." If my prediction is correct, the Mongol and Jiannu armies have already arrived in Qinghai. Jiannu of the Eastern Crusade of Korea. It is estimated that they have all reached the border, and it is estimated that it will take three months to reach Seoul. ”

"It's understandable why this Qinghai ......," he shook his head. It's a poor and remote place, and he really hasn't figured out any reason to fight.

"Does Elder Sun still remember the national letter?" Yang Fan said, "The Chahar Department in Qinghai has always been a thorn in the heart of Huang Taiji's unification of Mongolia. If you want to unify the north, you still have to completely cut off the Mongolian khans and submit to unity, so that the unification of the north can have sufficient confidence to go south and subvert the Ming Dynasty. So, it's not so much a feast as an empty city, don't you say? ”

"Empty City Plan......" Sun Chengzong muttered, "If that's really the case." So that is to say...... Shengjing City is now an empty city? ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "It's not an empty city. At least there are almost 10,000 troops in southern Liaoning, and if you count Liaoyang and Laozhai, it is estimated that there can be 30,000 men and horses. However, since the recapture of the four towns of Ningyuan, we have always been on the defensive and have never taken the initiative to attack, so even if it is an empty city, he Huang Taiji has concluded that we dare not take the initiative to attack. This alliance has become a gimmick. Wait until the army returns. It's time for Daming to take a fresh look at Jiannu's strength. ”

Sun Chengzong was silent for a moment and said, "Then what are you going to do this time?" ”

"Since he wants to play the empty city plan. Then I'll accompany him to act. Yang Fan smiled and said, "You are always familiar with the situation in Liaodong, and you have been thinking about how you can take Shenyang with an army of 80,000 recently." I'll drag them on for a while. In the area of North Korea, it is estimated that it will take at least four or five months to fight until the surrender of the North Korean Li Lord. As for Qinghai, I am afraid that more Mongol soldiers will be sent to search like a carpet. But I'm afraid they're digging three feet into the ground. The Chahar tribe could not be found. ”

"Why is that?" Sun Chengzong asked with some surprise. Even if he knew about the submission of credentials by the Chahar Ministry, if Yang Fan learned about the Mongol Tatars and Jiannu who were going to Qinghai, it would be impossible for him to inform him so quickly, so why would the Chahar Ministry be so vigilant?

Yang Fan said: "Do you remember the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry that the junior just said? ”

Sun Chengzong's eyes widened, "You mean ......" He didn't expect it. The 30,000 Mongolian troops that Yang Fan said really have such a thing, and it is not a blind idea.

Yang Fan nodded and said, "The less people know about this matter, the better, Old Sun, you know." ”

Sun Chengzong became serious and said, "I understand this, but don't you think it's a bit big to gamble this time?" In case of change, these 50,000 Guan Ning troops are the last hope of the Ming Dynasty, once they are destroyed, there will be no catastrophe. ”

"Then Elder Sun, have you ever thought that once the north is unified, these 50,000 elite soldiers will face the 100,000 Manchu army, what are the odds of victory? Although it is risky this time, it has also been recognized by the former emperor, the current saint, and the prince Xiao, and believes that this battle is inevitable and unavoidable. ”

Sun Chengzong rubbed his head and said: "I will keep silent about this matter, and I will never mention it to anyone, but this matter of troop transfer, have you ever thought that if you can't move it......"

"This natural saint and Xiao Wang Ye will arrange it, not to mention ......" Yang Fan glanced at the sharp corners of Liaonan, "If you're lucky, before Shenyang is attacked, this Liaonan has already been taken." ”

After talking for a long time, the old and the young simply ate some meals from the Sun Mansion. Yang Fan just came over to say hello, there was still some time before the golden autumn, so he naturally had to go to Linghe City to have a look. I don't know how many of the brothers on the thirteen posts still remember him today.

Bet on nine people, but the amount of food is very large. This is something that even Yang Fan didn't expect. Sun Fu didn't cook enough rice, but fortunately, when the next person was cooking, he simmered a few potatoes in the stove, and he was squatting there peeling and eating. Seeing Yang Fan's distracted appearance, he asked, "Master, what do you want?" ”

"Jiu'er, do you have a brother?"

Gambling Jiu spat out the potato skin stuck to his lips and said, "What's wrong." Yes, the second dog is. The stupid scoundrel who escaped with me that night. Master, do you want one? ”

Yang Fan took the potato, "It's good to have a brother." If this person is left with only a calculation like me for the rest of his life, then his life will be too aggrieved. He took a bite of the potato, and it did taste like a potato hundreds of years later.

"Where do you have no brothers? I think this fat man is very close to you. At that time in Jinling, Yang Ye was long and Yang Ye was short all day long. I think that in addition to calling him that beautiful lady, I have counted you the most. ”

"Oh? Is it. He smiled, "Jiu'er, isn't he beautiful?" ”

"Huh? Forehead...... Not as good as the lady......"

Yang Fan smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "When I go back, I will also find you a beautiful daughter-in-law." ”

"Huh? This is so troublesome, sir. That one...... I see, the red jade next to Madame is very good......"

"Good boy, how long has it been since you arrived in the palace before you started? Begging! ”

Fortunately, Gamble Nine had expected this catastrophe and ran away. (To be continued.) )
