Chapter 598: Bloody Battle in Kuizhou Capital City (2)
Beijing, Forbidden City.
In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly when he looked at the fold in his hand.
Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, Yang Sichang and others stood below, and Zhu Youzhen forgot to ask Sun Chengzong to sit down, which shows how important this secret fold is.
Of course, on the royal case, there is also information sent by the Jinyi Guard's secret line.
After reading the secret fold, Zhu You sighed and did not speak, Wang Chengen behind him gave Sun Chengzong a look and motioned for Sun Chengzong to say something.
Sun Chengzong spoke.
"The emperor is worried day and night, take care of the dragon's body."
Zhu Youzhen stood up, looked at Sun Chengzong, hesitated slightly, picked up the secret fold written by Su Tiancheng, and handed it to Sun Chengzong together with the information of Jinyiwei.
"Sun Aiqing, take a look, I really didn't expect it, if you want to exterminate the Liukou, you don't have to take such a risk, I don't even know what to say."
Sun Chengzong looked at the folds carefully, and slowly, his face began to turn pale.
Inside the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was unusually quiet, and Liu Zongzhou, Yang Sichang and others all knew that things were not going well.
After watching the twists, Sun Chengzong tried his best to stabilize his emotions and prepared to hand over the folds and information to Wang Chengen, who came over.
"Sun Aiqing, what is said in the folds and intelligence, you can tell everyone Aiqing."
Sun Chengzong coughed in a low voice, cleared his throat, and slowly spoke.
"Lord Su Tiancheng reported in detail the plan to exterminate the Liukou, this plan is very dangerous, the leader of the Liukou bandits planned to transfer the tiger from the mountain, for half a year, deliberately exposed the location of the main force, and took advantage of the Jiangning battalion soldiers to attack on a large scale, killing to the capital city of Kuizhou. Not good for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
When Sun Chengzong said this, everyone's faces changed.
"Lord Su saw through the plan of the Liukou, and made the corresponding deployment, in order to be able to completely exterminate the Liukou, he made the deployment, and all the adults knew the way. In order to avoid this situation, Lord Su decided to attract Liukou by himself, and led 12,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to garrison the capital city of Kuizhou. The rest of the Jiangning battalion soldiers set off to Bazhou to exterminate the Liukou. ”
"Li Zicheng rushed to Kuizhou with 90,000 Liukou, and the current situation, 10,000 Jiangning Battalion soldiers, to deal with the attack of 90,000 Liukou, at least two days."
"It's a big game. The ministers didn't dare to imagine the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince. It is the thing that Lord Su is most worried about, and it is said in the middle of the fold that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is foolproof, and there will be no problems, but Lord Su himself, it is just not clear. ”
When Sun Chengzong said this. Zhu Youzhen spoke.
"What I'm worried about is Su Aiqing's safety, Su Aiqing is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Su has arranged it like this. It must be certain, and the emperor doesn't have to worry too much. ”
"Sun Aiqing, how can I not worry, 10,000 versus 90,000, such a huge disparity."
Yang Sichang suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Su must still have arrangements, the emperor doesn't have to worry, maybe some of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are still stationed in Kuizhou City."
Sun Chengzong glared at Yang Sichang.
"Lord Yang's words are inappropriate, Liukou has been in Sichuan for nearly two years, and has a solid foundation, Lord Su has already talked about this matter some time ago, since he thinks that Liukou is fooled, if he secretly hides the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, how can the Liukou not know the way, and how can he be fooled, so there are only 12,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers in the city of Kuizhou."
Yang Sichang's face turned pale, and he didn't know what to say.
"Princess, bring me the map, I want to take a closer look."
The map of Sichuan was immediately brought up.
Sun Chengzong and Yang Sichang walked to the side of the map and began to point to places on the map.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the capital city of Kuizhou is more than a thousand miles away from Bazhou, the distance is far away, Su Aiqing and Hong Aiqing have carefully calculated, considering every step, the soldiers of the 12,000 Jiangning battalion must deal with the Liukou alone for more than a day, you see, can you think of a better way."
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Youzhen, thinking about what to say, this is in the capital, even if everyone thinks of any idea, it has no effect, the distance is so far, I am afraid that at this time, the Liukou has already begun to attack the capital city of Kuizhou, at this time, only rely on the command of Su Tiancheng and the courage of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.
Li Zicheng is desperate, the king is defeated, the rogue is successful, the Ming will be in a dangerous situation, the Jiangning camp will win, and the internal stability of the Ming will be completely stabilized.
Zhu Youzhen's mood at the moment is understandable.
"Your Majesty, from Bazhou to Kuizhou, there are more than 1,100 miles of land, according to the speed of the Jiangning battalion soldiers, the fastest four days can be reached, since Lord Su has already made arrangements, then, the minister can imagine, within four days, the Jiangning battalion three-way army will definitely be able to arrive, and form an encirclement of the Liukou, so that the Liukou will have no way to escape, and the 90,000 Liukou will be exterminated, and the overall situation will be decided."
"What Sun Aiqing said is very reasonable, I thought, the rogues are a rabble, and it is impossible to act quickly, even if they arrive in the capital city of Kuizhou, they will not be able to launch an effective attack, and Su Aiqing will definitely be able to deal with it."
Zhu Youzhen's words revealed his own feelings, and he was actually very worried.
Su Tiancheng wrote a number of folds, and talked in detail about the situation of the Liukou, the Liukou who entered Sichuan from Shaanxi, the combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced, otherwise it would be impossible to annihilate nearly 20,000 white pole soldiers, and the Liukou in Sichuan's Kuizhou Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Long'an Mansion, Tongchuan Prefecture and other places, have a strong foundation, plus the Liukou after continuous looting, money and food are sufficient, it can be said that they are in the strongest period, it is precisely because of this situation, Su Tiancheng has always been very cautious, did not blindly launch an attack, looking for the best opportunity, and now the opportunity is coming, But it was a huge gamble.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Su must be well prepared."
Zhu Youzhen's face was a little confused, as if he hadn't heard Sun Chengzong speak, in such an atmosphere, the rest of the people would not speak, and they didn't know what to say.
After leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, Sun Chengzong also sighed, he knew that in the past few days, don't think about being able to rest.
After all, he is old, during this time, Sun Chengzong feels powerless, there are too many things, he really can't deal with it, but he must persevere, he must give Su Tiancheng the greatest support, he has long seen that Su Tiancheng is the hope of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a rogue or a Houjin Tartar, it will eventually fall into Su Tiancheng's hands, but this time, Su Tiancheng has to take such a big risk.
Thinking of some of the actions of Houjin Emperor Taiji, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh, Su Tiancheng had no choice.
When Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, and Yang Sichang came in, their faces were not good.
"My lord, the lower officials feel that Lord Su is too risky, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor was just in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he didn't mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all, and the lower officials really don't know what Lu Dao said."
"Lord Liu, it's not that the emperor didn't expect it, the emperor is too worried, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be safe and sound, Lord Su is measured in doing things, thoughtful, and will definitely be able to make arrangements, the official is worried about Lord Su, Lord Su must not have any accidents."
"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that there is no need for Lord Su to take such a risk, the rogue has rebelled for more than ten years, and now is the best time to exterminate the rogue bandit, and the conditions are also the best, even if the rogue enters the depths of the mountain, Lord Su can still be slowly exterminated, why take such a risk."
"Lord Yang, this is a bad word, Lord Su has come to many letters, the last one, you should remember, the threat that my Ming Dynasty is facing, not only the Liukou, but also the Houjin Tartars, when the Jiangning battalion was about to launch a battle to exterminate the Liukou, it did not forget the situation in Liaodong, as well as the border passes in Yulin, Datong, and Ningxia, if there is turmoil in these places at the same time, it is really the most dangerous."
Zodiac Zhou, who spoke the last to speak, instead uttered encouraging words.
"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that this battle to exterminate the Liukou will definitely be able to achieve victory, Xia Guan thinks that Lord Su has made arrangements for such a long time, he must have thought of all aspects, just now when he was in the Yang Xin Palace, Xia Guan paid attention, from Kuizhou Mansion to Bazhou, Yunyang, Wanxian, Xinning, Dazhou, and even to Yingshan, Yilong and other places, the distance is clearly calculated, as for the distance from Mianzhu in Chengdu Prefecture to Bazhou, Nanguan to Bazhou, also calculated clearly, and even which road is convenient for the army to march, are all marked in detail, with such preparations, why not be able to win, the reason why Lord Su only played when everything was deployed and the rogues began to act, was also to avoid the emperor and the court worrying. ”
Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and nodded.
"What Lord Huang said is reasonable, the official just thought of the danger, but did not think of these favorable conditions, think about Lord Su has already seen through the tricks of the rogue, how can you not make arrangements, you will follow the official to see the emperor, put these truths out, please don't worry too much."
When he was about to arrive at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Sun Chengzong suddenly thought of something.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't leak out today's matter, just in case, the official thinks, the reason why Lord Su is only playing at this moment is also because he is afraid that the news will leak out, at such a critical moment, Beizhili, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong and Liaodong and other places, there can be no changes."
Zhu Youzhen was still in a daze in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and the eunuch said that Sun Chengzong and others asked to see him, so he hurriedly called the eunuch and sent everyone in...... (To be continued......)
