Su Tiancheng suddenly came to the capital, Zhu Youzhen was particularly surprised, without the holy decree, Su Tiancheng could not leave Dengzhou, but he came to the capital so silently, risking impeachment, regardless of his personal future, there must be something big, Zhu Youzhen has received Chen Xinjia's secret fold, for Chen Xinjia's deployment, I feel excited, I can't imagine that Chen Xinjia has made such a big deployment, think about it, such a deployment is also feasible, it is nothing more than talking about the scale of the campaign, which has expanded a lot, Zhu Youzhen even planned to directly give Su Tiancheng an order when necessary, asking Su Tiancheng to lead the Jiangning battalion to Liaodong, as for the command of the campaign, I will consider it when the time comes, if Chen Xinjia's deployment is successful, it will be possible to give a devastating blow to Houjin Tartar.

Su Tiancheng came to the capital, Zhu Youzhen quickly noticed that he must have come for the affairs of Liaodong, Hong Chengchou raised objections, and there was a conflict with Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi, presumably Hong Chengchou must have informed Su Tiancheng, could it be that Su Tiancheng came to intercede for Hong Chengchou.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen was faintly unhappy, the affairs of Liaodong are directly responsible for Chen Xinjia, and all arrangements should also be subject to Chen Xinjia's, in this case, Su Tiancheng made a special trip to the capital to talk about the affairs of Liaodong, is his hand stretched too long, can it be said that after Liaodong recovered Dalinghe City, he thought that he had a great merit and had to point fingers at all the arrangements and deployments in Liaodong.

With such thoughts, Zhu Youzhen's opinion of Su Tiancheng has changed a little, if he said that he had restricted Su Tiancheng's power before, he still felt uneasy in his heart, but this time, what Su Tiancheng did was excessive. It made him feel that there were not many problems with the previous treatment, and fortunately he handled it this way.

Zhu Youzhen has always believed that Su Tiancheng is very smart, and his performance has been very good since he was on the high school list in the palace examination. understands a lot of things, and is not greedy for merit, at a critical time, Zhilu Dao will give away the credit, especially when he appointed Chen Xinjia as the governor of Liaodong, Su Tiancheng didn't ask about Liaodong at all, and now that it's a critical moment, Su Tiancheng finally couldn't help it.

Zhu Youzhen didn't plan to see Su Tiancheng, but Wang Chengen persuaded on the side. said that since Master Su made a special trip to the capital, let's see if I can really say something, and let's see what Su Tiancheng thinks. Under the persuasion of Wang Chengen, including the suggestion of Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Youzhen still decided to meet Su Tiancheng.

After Su Tiancheng entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he found that there were only two people, Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen, and Zhu Youzhen's expression was very bad.

He didn't care about these things anymore, he didn't receive the holy decree himself. came directly to the capital, and it was for the affairs of Liaodong. Zhu Youzhen must be unhappy, and even have other thoughts, but at the critical moment, Su Tiancheng will not think about it so much, if it is completely for his own interests, after crossing. He wouldn't have done so many things that took care of the bigger picture.

After the meeting, Zhu Youzhen quickly spoke.

"Su Aiqing, I didn't make an order, I don't know why you came to the capital."

"Your Majesty, the minister is here for the affairs of Liaodong."

Zhu Youzhen's face was already gloomy.

"Why did Aiqing say that? I have already made an order, all the matters in Liaodong are decided by Chen Aiqing, you suddenly came to the capital, are you ready to impeach Chen Aiqing? ”

"The emperor, the minister is the governor of Jiliao, need to care about the situation in Liaodong, the emperor once issued an order, asking Lord Chen to assist the minister to do things, after the minister arrived in Dengzhou, he never forgot his own responsibilities, always concerned about the affairs of Liaodong, sometimes, Hong Chengchou also told the minister some Liaodong matters, the minister came to the capital this time, because of the crisis of the situation, so regardless of other matters, made a special trip to report to the emperor."

Zhu Youzhen looked at Su Tiancheng and did not speak, neither asked Su Tiancheng to say anything, nor asked Su Tiancheng not to say anything, this attitude of unknown admissibility is actually the biggest negation, which means that Su Tiancheng should not care about Liaodong's affairs, I am afraid that after Su Tiancheng leaves the capital, it will be difficult for Hong Chengchou to continue in Liaodong.

Su Tiancheng didn't care about Zhu Youzhen's attitude, although Zhu Youzhen was hungry and very anxious.

"Your Majesty, the minister specially brought the sand table, and I implore the emperor for permission, and the minister and the emperor have a contest on the sand table."

Zhu Youzhen was very strange, and was also stimulated by Su Tiancheng's idea, so he couldn't help but nodded.

The eunuch quickly brought in a huge sand table and placed it in the middle, this sand table was the topographic map of the Guanningjin defense line and Montenegro, Yizhou, Guangning, Liaohe and even Shenyang. Next to the sand table, there are many small red and blue flags, as well as a complete map.

Zhu Youzhen was a little curious, walked quickly to the front of the sand table, and looked at the sand table carefully.

"Your Majesty, this sand table is the entire terrain of Liaodong, but highlights the key places, the minister wants to play a sand table game with the emperor, there are two kinds of red and blue flags, of which the red flag represents my Ming army, the blue flag represents the Houjin Tartar, each flag represents 10,000 people, the minister knows a little about the deployment of Liaodong, on behalf of the blue side."

Zhu Youzhen looked at it carefully for a while, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, I'll play a sandbox game with you."

The curious Wang Chengen also followed Zhu Youzhen and looked at the sand table for a while.

The first confrontation began, and various flags were planted on the sand table and began to move gradually.

Slowly, Zhu Youzhen's face began to change, and after half an hour, most of the red flags on the sand table were surrounded by blue flags, and the rest were only two places: Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Youzhen quickly reacted.

"Su Aiqing, this can't be counted, you know the deployment of the Battle of Ludao, you are also clear, if the Houjin Tartar is clear about the deployment, this battle will not be able to win no matter what."

"Your Majesty, the steps that the minister just put out, the Houjin Tartar does not know the relevant deployment of the Dao, but in the process of fighting, make timely adjustments, and need to do this, as long as the commander-in-chief of the Houjin Tartar is smart and wise enough, the minister thinks that in such a large-scale battle, Huang Taiji will definitely personally command, Huang Taiji can do this, if there is really a situation on the sand table, I am in danger."

Su Tiancheng said as he took it out of his arms.

"Your Majesty, this is the minister's analysis, I implore the emperor to read it, the minister has no intention of interfering in the affairs of Liaodong, but the minister does not want my Ming army to suffer a catastrophe in Liaodong, the Liaodong border army conquered the Golden Tartars, but my Ming Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Golden Tartars, and the battle was very important."

What Su Tiancheng said was very serious.

Zhu Youzhen's expression also became serious, took the fold, and looked at it carefully.

Soon, Zhu Youzhen's face began to turn pale, this twist and turn was carefully prepared by Su Tiancheng, for the deployment of Liaodong, a detailed analysis was made, and all the pros and cons were displayed, among which the battle deployment with the Guanningjin defense line as the bait, Liaodong may suffer the greatest losses, even more than the fiasco of Wang Huazhen in the second year of the Apocalypse.

Zhu Youzhen kept standing and watched the recital, forgetting to return to his seat.

Half an hour later, Zhu Youzhen finally spoke.

"Aiqing believes that there is a huge danger in Chen Xinjia's deployment, but the Emperor Taiji of Houjin may not know about this deployment, is the strategy of surprise attack not feasible."

"Your Majesty, the minister did not deny that the strategy of the surprise attack is not feasible, but it depends on what the environment, the Guanningjin defense line is very important to my Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of surprise attack method is adopted, it can not shake the defense of Guanningjin, this time Lord Chen led 100,000 troops to go out, and there are still 80,000 soldiers waiting for the Guanningjin defense line, on the other hand, the strength of the Houjin Tartars, if the emperor Taiji made up his mind, he could reach 200,000 troops, and the comparison of troops, my Ming did not have much advantage, so the minister thought that the emperor set to take Montenegro within the year, The strategy of Yizhou and Guangning is very accurate, step by step, Huang Taiji may be difficult to make such a big determination, after all, he wants to protect Shenyang, but if he is ready to attack Shenyang directly, it will inevitably lead to an uncontrollable war, Huang Taiji is desperate, empathy, if Huang Taiji abandons Shenyang and goes all out to capture Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, the minister thinks that as long as Huang Taiji takes Dalinghe City and Jinzhou, the army led by Lord Chen will be in great danger, Not only was it impossible to occupy Shenyang, but the route of retreat was completely blocked. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded frequently.

"Aiqing is right, this kind of deployment, there is indeed a huge danger, I have seen Aiqing's deployment, steady and steady, and can echo before and after, it seems that it does make sense."

"The minister also took this issue into consideration, so he specially went to Beijing to report to the emperor, but the minister still said that he had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Liaodong expedition, and everything was decided by the emperor."

Zhu Youzhen looked at Su Tiancheng and suddenly spoke.

"Su Aiqing, I look at the Golden Tartar after this expedition, how about you come to be the commander."

"By all means, the emperor, the minister has been away from Liaodong for more than a year, there are many changes in Liaodong, the minister is not very clear, Lord Chen is in Liaodong, he has been preparing for the attack on the Golden Tartars, and he is also full of confidence, this boss is none other than Lord Chen, the minister just thinks that the emperor can clearly put forward the requirements and strictly order Lord Chen to implement the battle deployment, so as to ensure that there is more than enough advance and retreat. Regardless of whether he has achieved major results or not, being able to take the initiative to attack the Houjin Tartar shows the emperor's determination to exterminate the Houjin Tartar. ”

A smile finally appeared on Zhu Youzhen's face.

In less than two hours, Su Tiancheng changed Zhu Youzhen's opinion, this is indeed not simple, but in this, Su Tiancheng's hard work is huge, he has been studying repeatedly in Dengzhou, and on the way to the capital, he has been figuring out, it is precisely because of sufficient preparation that it is possible to achieve such an effect.
