Qu Qingze and Yan Yingyuan looked at each other a little, the solution Su Tiancheng said was a helpless solution, not a real solution to the problem, but this situation does exist, the emperor must be full of confidence, and if he puts forward the opposite opinion at this time, he will definitely not be welcomed.

The two wanted to say something, but they found that Su Tiancheng was no longer interested in continuing to discuss this matter, but began to grind ink, it seemed that he was preparing to reply to Hong Chengchou, the personal soldiers sent by Hong Chengchou were still waiting in the Governor's Mansion, obviously they needed to get a reply, and this reply was also very important, the two didn't want to bother, got up to say goodbye, and left the room.

An hour later, Qu Qingze came to the wing, and he was directly called by Wang Dazhi.

Entering the wing, Qu Qingze found that Zhou Tianhao was standing in front of the sand table in the middle of the wing, looking at the sand table carefully, this sand table was not the terrain of Liaodong, but the terrain from Dengzhou to Lushun, indicating the location of the islands in the sea, and who is currently occupying these islands.

On the table was a reply from Su Tiancheng that had already been written.

"Lao Qu, the reply is written, you can take a look."

Qu Qingze nodded, walked over to read the reply carefully, and ten minutes later, Qu Qingze put down the letter.

"Do you think the layout of the Jiangning camp in Liaodong needs to be improved?"

"My lord, the lower officials think it's very good, Dalinghe City is equipped with 15,000 Jiangning Battalion soldiers, 10,000 Yulin Battalion soldiers, 5,000 border troops, Jinzhou City is equipped with 10,000 Jiangning Battalion soldiers, 5,000 Yulin Battalion soldiers, Ningyuan City is equipped with 5,000 Jiangning Battalion soldiers, 5,000 Yulin Battalion soldiers, 5,000 border troops, and Shanhaiguan is equipped with 20,000 border troops. In this way, the focus of defense is concentrated on Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and if the defense of Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City is done, it will basically be able to stabilize the Guanning Jinfeng defense line. ”

"This is also a helpless move, and what I am worried about now is that Qian Qianyi may not approve of such an arrangement. I'm afraid that in Qian Qianyi's heart, the defense of Ning Yuan and Shanhaiguan is even more important. ”

"My lord, the lower officials feel that the guards of the Guanning Jin defense line can still be suggested, if Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi do not agree, the adults can directly report to the emperor, no matter what the attack is this time. The guards of the Guanningjin defense line are all crucial, and they are the biggest thing. ”

Su Tiancheng didn't speak, and continued to look at the sand table.

has been by Su Tiancheng's side for a long time, and at this time, Qu Qingze felt that Su Tiancheng must have thought of a good way, according to his etiquette. Su Tiancheng must have thought carefully, in his heart. Now you have a complete plan.

No wonder Su Tiancheng was not so anxious after seeing Hong Chengchou's letter, he wanted to know that the criticality of Liaodong could be said to involve the whole body, and he had seen such a situation in the past. Su Tiancheng definitely wants to come up with an idea, for the stability of the Ming Dynasty and in order to defeat the Houjin Tartars, Su Tiancheng will not particularly care about his own interests.

At this time, Qu Qingze won't talk much. Stand quietly to the side.

A few minutes later, Su Tiancheng pointed to the sand table and spoke.

"Lao Qu, you see, starting from Penglai City, the past is Huangcheng Island, Huangcheng Island is far from Shuangdao and Lushun, but more than 100 miles of sea routes, stationed in Lushun Houjin Shui Division, often in this generation of training, since Lushun past, Jinzhou, Yongning, Wanghai, Changsheng Island, Zhongdao, Chahe Island, Mayang Island, Dachangshan Island, Xiaochangshan Island, are all controlled by my Ming Dynasty, you look at the right, Tieshan, Xuanzhou and Phi Dao, also controlled by my Ming Dynasty, you should know Lu Dao, when Mao Wenlong controlled Phi Island, gave Houjin a great threat, no matter what the situation was, Houjin did not dare to let go of his hand to attack the Guanningjin defense line, let alone enter the customs unscrupulously, because Phi Dao was in their rear. ”

"Today's situation, there have been some changes, the Houjin Tartars completely occupied these places, and their center of gravity began to slowly shift to the Shenyang area, perhaps they thought that according to the strength of my Ming Dynasty, it was not enough to pose a threat to Jinzhou, Wanghai, Tieshan, Xuanzhou and other places, so the defense of these places is not so solid, if it were not for the training of the Houjin Naval Division in the Lushun area, I am afraid that there is basically no fortification here."

"Look at it again, the Han army stationed in Haizhou is also very far away from here, and now it is Azig who leads the Han army in Haizhou to protect the safety of this generation, that is to say, the Houjin Water Division trained in Lushun actually has little to rely on, even if they are attacked, the reinforcements stationed in Haizhou want to come to the rescue, and the road is far away."

Qu Qingze's face began to turn pale.

Su Tiancheng's plan is too big and too risky, if this situation really happens, it will indicate that Houjin's back line has been completely destroyed, and I am afraid that Huang Taiji will not just be unable to sleep.

"My lord, these places, although they are negligent in taking precautions, they have always been regarded as the most important rear positions by Houjin, and they will never be allowed to be lost, if they attack these places, I am afraid that Huang Taiji will personally lead a large army to come to the decisive battle."

A smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"You're right, under the current circumstances, we can't have such a move for the time being, this may trigger a decisive battle between my Ming Dynasty and Houjin, but don't forget, Liaodong is about to start a big war, I believe that this time Huang Taiji will personally lead the army to conquer, Lushun, Jinzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan, Xuanzhou and Phi Dao's generation, no one will pay attention, and Houjin does not have so much military strength to defend, isn't this our best opportunity, the sailor is trained mature, and he can start a large-scale battle, The number of officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou has reached more than 80,000, and even if more than half of the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion are sent to occupy these places, I believe that there will be a huge shock in Houjin. ”

At this time, Qu Qingze completely understood.

"What do you mean by taking advantage of the war in Liaodong to raid Lushun and occupy the areas of Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan and Xuanzhou?"

Su Tiancheng nodded.

Qu Qingze was a little excited, and began to look at the sand table carefully, at this time, Su Tiancheng took a map from the side, which was already full of markings, and the arrow pointed directly to Xuanzhou, which was the farthest away from Lushun, and there were a lot of marks made on it, and it was estimated that these marked places were the places that the Jiangning battalion was preparing to occupy.

After a while, Qu Qingze spoke.

"My lord's plan, Xia Guan really felt excited, if the Jiangning battalion can occupy these places, even if Huang Taiji personally leads the army and wins in Liaodong, I'm afraid it will be restless, after the Jiangning battalion occupies these places, it has formed a huge threat to the hinterland of Houjin, it can be said that it is a direct attack on Huanglong, and the next step, the decisive battle against Houjin, can be launched from two directions at the same time, so that Houjin can't take care of both the beginning and the end."

"You're right, just from Liaodong to attack, or from Mongolia and Liaodong two directions, to launch an attack on Houjin, I'm afraid to pay huge casualties, I Ming and Houjin Tartars, in Liaodong for many years, both sides have deployed heavy troops in this generation, Houjin also tried every means to strengthen vigilance in these places, now, Houjin moved the capital to Shenyang, the focus of defense has also shifted, most of them have moved to the periphery of Shenyang, we have taken these places, not only to increase a route to attack Houjin, And it is possible to take advantage of the situation to take back North Korea. ”

Su Tiancheng's hand pointed to Pyongyang.

"We occupied Xuanzhou, basically cut off the connection between the Houjin Tatars stationed in North Korea and Shenyang, and the next step, we can do our best to exterminate the Houjin Tatars stationed in North Korea, didn't Huang Taiji send one of the four major Baylors, Prince Li Daishan, to be stationed in Pyongyang, then good, let's target Daishan first, his son Yue Tuo was killed by us, and it should be his turn as the prince next."

Qu Qingze felt his blood boiling, Su Tiancheng's plan was very big, once it succeeded, the confrontation between Daming and Houjin would change decisively, but there was a premise in this, that is, it was necessary to stick to the Guanningjin defense line.

"My lord, the situation in Liaodong has a great impact on the thinking of adults."

"Yes, the situation in Liaodong is very important, so we must ask Hong Chengchou, no matter how much it costs, to stick to Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and hold here, Houjin will face a dilemma, if Houjin is ready to do his best to attack Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Xuanzhou, then, the army stationed in Dalinghe City, can point to Shenyang, ready to destroy Houjin's capital at any time, if Houjin sticks to Shenyang, and our Ming army in Liaodong confrontation, We can use the method of encroachment, gradually occupy Xiuyan and Phoenix, and then coerce Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou and Anshan, at that time, Huang Taiji just doesn't want to fight a decisive battle with our Ming army, and he can't help it. ”

Looking at the sand table and the map, Qu Qingze's eyes lit up.

At this time, Su Tiancheng picked up the letter on the table, which was a reply to Hong Chengchou.

Su Tiancheng burned the letter, and this action made Qu Qingze stunned.

"Lao Qu, this letter, you have already read it, this time Hong Chengchou wrote the letter, I am not going to reply, just in case, all my suggestions, you are clear, so you personally go to Ningyuan, find Hong Chengchou, tell Hong Chengchou in person, just say that it is what I requested, the first is to obey Chen Xinjia's command, according to the requirements, the necessary tactfulness is to be done, the second is to keep Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan no matter what kind of situation you are in, including Tashan, Songshan, Gaotai, Qiantun and other places, if there is a mistake in these places, I will not spare it. ”

"Regarding the deployment of our campaign to attack Lushun and other places, we must keep it absolutely secret, and we must not leak it in the slightest, this matter, for the time being, only you and I know, but at present, I am going to start the deployment, you go and return quickly, don't delay time in Liaodong."
