Chapter 341: Undercurrent (67)

Just as Peng Chaodong was thinking wildly, Zheng Lei walked in and said that He Tengxiao asked to see him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zheng Lei's proclamation dragged Peng Chaodong back from his thoughts.

He Tengxiao can be described as lucky, Peng Chaodong did not expect that He Tengxiao and Song Yude, the king of Liao, still have such a relationship, and saved Song Yude, Song Yude played a big role in what He Tengxiao said in front of the emperor this time. In this catastrophe, He Tengxiao finally escaped.

Peng Chaodong was originally ready to stand up and say a few words for He Tengxiao, no matter what the consequences would be after saying these words, Peng Chaodong was ready to bear it. Unexpectedly, in the end, Song Yude, the king of Liao, said these words for him, and there was no need for him Peng Chaodong to say it. This saved Peng Chaodong a lot of trouble.

"Let him in." Peng Chaodong said that He Tengxiao escaped for the time being, and he was also happy for He Tengxiao, but Peng Chaodong didn't know what He Tengxiao was coming to him for.

Anyway, let He Tengxiao come in first.

He Tengxiao introduced Peng Chaodong's mansion in Zheng Lei's belt. He Tengxiao also just learned today, it turned out that Peng Chaodong still had a private mansion in the capital city, where every inch of land was expensive. It is said that this mansion used to be the residence of a certain county prince, and later the county prince died of his heir, and Song Yuren simply gave this mansion to Peng Chaodong, who had just made a great contribution.

This mansion looks magnificent from the outside, but after walking in, He Tengxiao found that the interior of the mansion is very simple, and even the furnishings are very simple, and there is no valuable furniture in a huge mansion, which is a very rare phenomenon among high-ranking officials of Peng Chaodong's level.

"Sit down." After seeing Peng Chaodong, Peng Chaodong sat on the Taishi chair and said two simple words to him. I am afraid that there are not many subordinates who can let Peng Chaodong give him a seat, and He Tengxiao has no heart to enjoy Peng Chaodong's honor.

Peng Chaodong's attitude towards He Tengxiao even made Zheng Lei feel a little jealous, Zheng Lei has followed Peng Chaodong for 20 years, Peng Chaodong rarely values Zheng Lei so much, and He Tengxiao has only known Peng Chaodong for more than a year, and Peng Chaodong attaches so much importance to Peng Chaodong. It's really a private person who is more popular than a dead person.

Although Zheng Lei held back his anger, Peng Chaodong's order had to be carried out, Zheng Lei had to endure his anger and moved a chair for He Tengxiao to sit down.

He Tengxiao was not polite, and sat down in front of Peng Chaodong generously, just singing a fat song to express his gratitude.

"Congratulations to the Governor, who has served as the Governor of the King of the World." He Tengxiao didn't know how to start this, so he simply gave Peng Chaodong a good word for Peng Chaodong, the governor of the world's Qinwang soldiers and horses, and said a word of auspiciousness.

"The governor of Liaodong is the governor, and this governor is only a governor in the world, so why is it happy?" Peng Chaodong teased, "I'm afraid that this governor is not good, you He Tengxiao should know it." ”

He Tengxiao smiled: "Your Excellency the Governor said that he was smiling. ”

"You didn't come to me to laugh, anyway, what is the matter with me this time, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Peng Chaodong said.

"You can't hide anything from the Governor." was seen through by Peng Chaodong, and He Tengxiao was a little embarrassed.

"You can't hide anything from me, haven't you already hidden some things from me?" Peng Chaodong continued to tease He Tengxiao.

Of course, He Tengxiao knew what Peng Chaodong was referring to and what he had concealed from him, but he just laughed it off and did not continue to go deeper into this matter.

"After Yan Shengcong withdrew, did the Governor think about where Yan Shengcong's next goal would be?" He Tengxiao asked Peng Chaodong, this question was a point.

Now Peng Chaodong is the governor of the army of the king of Qin, and expelling the Liao army is Peng Chaodong's biggest duty at the moment. It is important to figure out what the Liao army is moving now. If the movements of the Liao army have not even been figured out, how can we talk about expelling the Liao army?

The cavalry of the forbidden army pursued the Liao army, which was "defeated" in the mouth of the central minister, and stole chickens and rice, and returned defeated, and was defeated by the Liao army's broken troops. After the news was transmitted back to Jingshi City, Song Yuren was furious about it.

If Peng Chaodong continues to lose in the next battle against Liao, I am afraid that Song Yuren will also be angry with him Peng Chaodong. Peng Chaodong will continue to fall into an extremely unfavorable situation.

"Wanyan Shengcong is impermanent with troops, there is no fixed number, this governor has not thought about this problem, but the Central Plains is not larger than Liaodong, and the Central Plains is larger than Liaodong, for the Liao army, the value of the Central Plains and meaningful goals are also more. It was difficult for the Governor to determine the movements of the Liao army, so he planned to send sentry cavalry to the surrounding area first, and then take measures after detecting the movements of the Liao army. Speaking of this, Peng Chaodong's face revealed a little embarrassed, "Although there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Qinwang army, and the number is not as small as the Liao army, how many of these Qinwang troops are usable, and how many are just decorations, you should also know." ”

Peng Chaodong said his dilemma, this governor of the world's Qinwang army is indeed not good, especially when facing an enemy like the Liao army.

Sending outposts to reconnoiter the movements of the Liao army before taking measures is also in line with Peng Chaodong's practice of seeking stability.

It's just that although this approach is stable, it is a bit impractical now. In the Central Plains, the battle front is long, the terrain is flat and open, and as Peng Chaodong said, there are many more valuable military targets worthy of attack by the Liao army in the Central Plains than in the eastern Liaodong region. This invisibly makes it more difficult to search for the enemy.

Moreover, the Liao army is composed of cavalry, with excellent mobility, and the gap between the terrain of the Central Plains and the Liao army is not large, so the Liao army can gallop. Even if the sentry cavalry found the traces of the Liao army, after the sentry cavalry brought back the news, they were afraid that the iron cavalry of the Liao army would have disappeared without a trace.

"With all due respect, the Liao army is galloping, coming and going like the wind, and it is difficult to keep up with the Liao army even if the traces of the Liao army are found." He Tengxiao pointed out the shortcomings of Peng Chaodong's approach.

"Indeed." Peng Chaodong sighed and admitted this, "But now there is no better way, if the troops are divided into four parts, my Great Zhao Army is easy to be surrounded and annihilated by the Liao army, even if we can't completely annihilate the Liao army, we must always maintain our strength." ”

Peng Chaodong thought for a while, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Of course, there is another way, this method is to know the goal of the Liao army in advance and take targeted actions, but we have no secret agents infiltrating the high-level of the Liao army, and we can only guess the purpose and intention of the Liao army out of thin air.
