The intelligence network built by Qu Qingze has also grown invisibly, this intelligence network, different from the Jinyi Wei dark line, is completely controlled by Qu Qingze, except for Su Tiancheng, the rest of the people do not know the way, this is also top secret, and it is impossible to leak any news about Lu Zhi, this intelligence network provides a series of information, no matter what it is.

According to the information of the intelligence network, Su Tiancheng has long known about the subtle changes in Liaodong, and these pieces of information are even more detailed than the letter written by Hong Chengchou, and it is also through these changes that Su Tiancheng has strengthened his judgment, Chen Xinjia can't wait, or Zhu Youzhen can't wait.

Chen Xinjia's series of measures in Liaodong are not conducive to development, but they are conducive to the construction of the army, Su Tiancheng is very disapproving of this practice of drinking water to quench thirst, constantly exploiting the people, and the final result is that the people leave Liaodong in large numbers, and the army is even more difficult to maintain, and the government must think of a way, on the one hand, so that the people can afford to raise the army, instead of cutting back on food and clothing, and forced to support the army. What Su Tiancheng did in Liaodong was to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, make the border passes rich, make the cohesion of the common people strong, and constantly gather strength, and once the time is ripe, he can launch a general attack on Houjin.

Everyone has everyone's understanding, Su Tiancheng is also very clear about this, Chen Xinjia's thoughts must be different, plus Chen Xinjia grew up in a different environment, and his understanding is different from Su Tiancheng, who crossed over, it is normal to introduce these policies, as for restricting the return of Han people, this is from the safety of Liaodong, which is understandable.

After analyzing a lot of information, Su Tiancheng was also pondering, the key is the timing of the attack, and his understanding cannot be said to be 100% correct. For example, he thought that after the opportunity was fully ripe, he would launch a general offensive, and the purpose of the general offensive would be to eliminate the Houjin regime, but this would require a long period of preparation, and it would not be possible to achieve the goal in a short period of time, judging from the situation in Liaodong. If there is too much peace for a long time, the morale of the soldiers will be exhausted, and the only thing they want to think about is to maintain the status quo.

Being able to constantly summarize and adjust his own views in combination with the actual situation is Su Tiancheng's advantage, after all, he is a time-traveling person, although he is familiar with history, he can't think that he is completely correct.

After Lu Shanji's letter came. Su Tiancheng still felt very happy when he first read it, but after taking a closer look, he began to worry, and it was not an ordinary worry.

When Qu Qingze and Yan Yingyuan entered the wing room, Su Tiancheng was still pondering.

Yan Yingyuan got his wish and became the experience of Dengzhou Mansion, but was transferred to the Governor's Mansion by Su Tiancheng. He assumed the role of a staff officer and assisted Qu Qingze in his work. Su Tiancheng needs to cultivate talents, and talents like Yan Yingyuan are still worth cultivating.

Yan Yingyuan quickly adapted to his role, and he knew very well that Su Tiancheng trusted him very much.

"Lao Qu, Yan Yingyuan. This is a letter from Lord Deer, take a look. ”

Su Tiancheng didn't say much, and handed Lu Shanji's letter to Qu Qingze, in order to save time, Qu Qingze and Yan Yingyuan read the letter together.

The two of them quickly finished reading.

"Your Excellency. Xia Guan thought that the emperor's arrangement was still feasible, and he would take Montenegro, Yizhou and Quang Ninh within the year, so that he could confront the Houjin Tartars in the Liao River, and the defense line that the Houjin Tartars relied on to hold on to was basically non-existent, and his subordinates predicted that the scale of the battle was not very large, and Huang Taiji would not mobilize all his troops to fight it. ”

After Qu Qingze finished speaking, Su Tiancheng still didn't have much expression on his face, and he looked at Yan Yingyuan.

"My lord, the lower official thinks that what Lord Qu said is reasonable, and the lower official also thinks so."

Su Tiancheng frowned.

"You didn't read this letter in detail, when I read it for the first time, it was the same as your thoughts, a moderate attack on the Houjin Tartars, which is very necessary, lest the soldiers of Liaodong slack off, whether they can recover Montenegro, Guangning and other places, they can inspire the morale of the soldiers, and can moderately control the scale of the campaign, and make detailed arrangements. These key words are likely to have major hidden dangers. ”

After Su Tiancheng said this, Qu Qingze and Yan Yingyuan immediately began to look carefully.

More than ten minutes later, Qu Qingze raised his head, he already understood that Yan Yingyuan was still in the process of thinking, after all, he had not been involved for a long time, and his thinking could not be so comprehensive.

"Lao Qu, tell me what you think."

"My lord, the lower officials understand that the meaning of the imperial court has given Chen Xinjia a certain degree of independent decision-making power, which is not easy to control the scale of the battle, maybe this attack is likely to become a full-scale decisive battle."

Yan Yingyuan only understood at this time, and he also saw the key sentences in the letter.

Su Tiancheng sighed slightly.

"Will be outside the monarch's order, this is the basic requirement of the campaign, but some adults do not understand, the scale of the campaign needs to be strictly limited, I Ming and Houjin have been at war for so many years, this is the first time since Wanli years, the first initiative to attack, is a big change, it is necessary to raise eyebrows, but it is more necessary to have a clear understanding, according to my opinion, the Ming Dynasty does not have the strength to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, which requires the right time and place, and requires adequate preparation, so the battle with the Houjin Tartars, It is necessary to be particularly cautious, to strictly control the scale of the campaign, and to limit the authority of the commander-in-chief. ”

Qu Qingze nodded, indicating that he understood.

Yan Yingyuan's expression was different, Su Tiancheng's analysis surprised him very much, he couldn't imagine that it was so far away from Liaodong, Su Tiancheng could analyze all the situations in Liaodong and make an accurate judgment.

"The emperor's idea is good, launching a limited attack on the Houjin Tartars, whether it can achieve the goal or not, it can inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and it is also a warning to the soldiers of Liaodong and the border pass, now is far from being a comfortable time, the heavy responsibility of the soldiers is to exterminate the Houjin regime, exterminate the Houjin Tartars, only the soldiers have such an idea, Liaodong and the border pass can really maintain vitality, I think such a decision is feasible."

"But the imperial court must also take into account the actual situation, that is, how large-scale to launch an offensive, occupy Montenegro, Yizhou and Quang Ninh within the year, this task is not light, you must know that the border army of Ludao occupies these three places, which poses the most direct threat to Shenyang, how can Huang Taiji give up, I am afraid that the battle will be extremely tragic, Chen Xinjia needs to face a lot of problems, after occupying a place, the follow-up construction and stability problems are also problems that need to be faced, otherwise they will be directly recaptured by the Houjin Tartars, A tug-of-war has been formed, which has greatly consumed human and financial resources. ”

"Since this year's combat mission is clear, there should not be the slightest hesitation, just follow this tactical arrangement, but still keep up with a few words, Chen Xinjia can make his own decision depending on the situation of the battle, and continue to attack on the basis of the permission of the imperial court, isn't this a fundamental change to the tactical arrangement, will Chen Xinjia think about it, hit Shenyang in one go, and destroy the Houjin Tartars and destroy the Houjin regime in one go."

"This is a very dangerous authorization, if Chen Xinjia can't have a clear understanding, it is very likely to cause a huge disaster, at the beginning of the battle, all the preparations are to take Montenegro, Yizhou and Quang Ninh, in the process of the battle, but want to continue to expand the results, not to mention the fighting spirit of the soldiers, just from the aspect of preparation, it is not sufficient, in such a situation, when you meet a strong opponent, what will happen, who can predict."

"Let's take a look at Huang Taiji's preparations, stationed in Montenegro is the Han Eight Banners, this Han Eight Banners, is not the previous Han Army, all the officers are drawn from the Manchu Eight Banners, although these people are Han people, but absolutely loyal to Huang Taiji, and they fight bravely, no less than the Manchu Eight Banners, after the establishment of the Han Eight Banners, there has not been a large-scale conquest, not even a fight, they are always thinking about making meritorious contributions, thinking about proving their ability, to this extent, the Han Eight Banners stationed in Montenegro, Compared with the full eight flags, I am afraid it is even more dangerous. ”

"Stationed in Quang Ninh, it is Dolgon, and the Zhengbai Banner under the leadership of Dolgon, close to 30,000 people, Dolgon's ability has been tested in actual combat, I even say unceremoniously, Chen Xinjia may not have as much experience as Dolgon."

"The border army's attack on Montenegro, Yizhou and Quang Ninh will inevitably arouse the great attention of Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji will never take it lightly, and he will definitely send reinforcements, and I have a hunch that Huang Taiji is very likely to personally lead the army to fight, he may think that defeating the Ming army this time will be able to change the situation in Liaodong in one fell swoop."

"From the analysis of these circumstances, Chen Xinjia's task is very heavy, and the best way to do it is to follow the established tactical arrangement, step by step, don't be greedy for merit, don't have unrealistic illusions, so that you can consolidate the results of the battle, and you can really achieve the goal.

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Qu Qingze quickly spoke.

"My lord, the lower officials thought that the safety of Liaodong was involved, so we still wrote it out and submitted it to the emperor and the imperial court, reminding Chen Xinjia to pay attention, so as not to suffer major losses."

Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly.

"Or write a letter to Hong Chengchou, tell Hong Chengchou everything, and ask Hong Chengchou to put forward these opinions and suggestions in the process of Chen Xinjia's discussion of the war, the emperor does not want this matter to leak for the time being, and he does not ask for discussion and discussion, if we put forward these opinions and suggestions, what will the emperor think, and what will the cabinet think."
