When Zu Dabi and Zu Dale saw Su Tiancheng, they behaved extremely respectfully, this is probably because Zu Dashou had said hello, for many years, Zu Dashou has been the highest commander among the generals of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and both of them are his subordinates.

Jinzhou is guarded by Sun Chuanting, Su Tiancheng doesn't need to worry about it, he was going to go to the area of Dalinghe City to have a look, but Zu Dashou strongly objected, saying that it was not safe there, and Su Tiancheng gave up this idea when he first arrived in Jinzhou.

Jinzhou is close to four hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan, and Su Tiancheng must have arrived in just over a day.

Zu Dashou, who followed all the way, changed his views again, and he couldn't imagine that a scholar like Su Tiancheng could endure hardships so much, and he was quick all the way, without the slightest specialness.

Shanhaiguan is known as the first pass in the world.

Shanhaiguan City, built in the early Ming Dynasty, is one of the important strongholds of Gongwei Jingshi, the circumference of the whole city is four kilometers, the city wall is as high as 14 meters, unbreakable, during the Chongzhen period, here has always been the most Lulu defense line to protect the Beijing Division.

Wu Sangui, who is stationed here, is even more famous.

When Su Tiancheng and his entourage arrived at Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui had already led all the officers to greet them outside the city gate.

As soon as Su Tiancheng dismounted, Wu Sangui immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Wu Sangui, the general of Shanhaiguan, will meet the Inspector."

"Brother Wu, please hurry up, you and I are old acquaintances, there is no need to be so generous."

Su Tiancheng held Wu Sangui's hand, nodded and gestured to the rest of the officers.

Wu Sangui's face was full of red light, his body trembled slightly, Su Tiancheng's action gave him enough face.

Shanhaiguan is different from other cities, and even different from Jinzhou and Ningyuan, where it is mainly garrisoned. You can't see the people, because the location here is too important, and the people in the city are the garrison and their families.

When Su Tiancheng entered the city, on the street, the sergeants were lined up, waiting for Su Tiancheng's review.

The army stationed at Shanhaiguan. Known as the Guanning Army, the famous Guanning Iron Cavalry, everyone knows the Tao, but unfortunately, the real Guanning Iron Cavalry, in the fight with the Houjin Tartars, lost everything, the founder Yuan Chonghuan also turned into a wisp of green smoke, and later Wu Xiang imitated the previous Guanning Iron Cavalry. Build an army stationed in Shanhaiguan and win the title of Guanning Army.

It seems that the temperament of the army stationed at Shanhaiguan is still good.

However, Su Tiancheng knew that the combat effectiveness of this army was not as divine as the legend, and it had truly reached the level of the Guanning Iron Cavalry back then. After the Golden Tartars, they are not so arrogant.

Enter the General Soldier's Mansion and everything is ready.

The banquet was served. It looks like it's very rich.

"Brother Wu, such a feast, I can't swallow it, I just arrived today, it's hard to resist the hospitality, and I can't do it in the future."

Although he said this sentence with a smile. But Wu Sangui's body still trembled, and he knew that what Su Tiancheng said must be the truth, otherwise Jiang Ningying would not be so brave and good at fighting.

The speed of eating was very fast, and Su Tiancheng thought of a lot of things. For a few days in a row, a preliminary plan has been formed in his mind, and many things will be implemented from now on, and it is still very good to choose to hold a meeting in Shanhaiguan.

After eating, Wu Sangui accompanied Su Tiancheng and looked around the city.

"Brother Wu, I've been guarding Shanhaiguan for many years."

"Lord Hui, the last general has been waiting at Shanhaiguan all along, and he has never been anywhere."

"Have you ever thought about leaving Shanhaiguan and going to Jinzhou or Ningyuan?"

"At your command."

Wu Sangui's voice was a little small, and it was not said immediately, which showed that he must be extremely surprised in his heart.

Su Tiancheng was able to analyze Wu Sangui's heart, he had been stationed in Shanhaiguan for many years, and he had long regarded this place as his own territory, and outsiders should not think of intervening, even if they wanted to mobilize the army here, they had to see what the situation was.

Su Tiancheng doesn't care so much, this kind of narrow regional thinking, or the mentality of occupying the mountain as the king, must be broken, the best way is to transfer the officers, just like a few hundred years later, the commander of the military region will be transferred, of course, it is not possible to do this at present, at least after the defeat of Dalinghe City.

"You can have such an idea, I am very pleased, to Liaodong, I am also trembling, the situation here is complicated, years of war, after the Golden Tartars are eyeing the tiger, but the emperor's trust is not daring to live up, so in the future, I will get your strong support."

"The last general dares not to serve his life."

"I can't say that, what are the requirements, or what are the difficulties, I can still say it in private, do things, although sometimes, the heart is unhappy, it is necessary to obey the overall situation, but there must also be a place to vent and confide, otherwise it will be held in the heart, and after a long time, it will inevitably ferment."

"My lord, the last general will not dare to have ideas, and the last general will sincerely obey the arrangement."

"Okay, I came all the way from Jinzhou, and saw a lot of fortresses and strongholds, the entire Guanning Jin defense line, it looks solid, Houjin can't break through, but have you thought about it, so many years have passed, for what Houjin has not broken through the Guanning Jin defense line under the premise of still being able to swagger into the customs and loot, causing heavy losses to the people in the Guannei, the Guanning Jin defense line is arranged here, not just to resist the attack of the Houjin Tartars, but also to defend the Beijing Division, If the Gyeongshi and Gyeonggi region are attacked by the Houjin Tartars, it will be our mistake, and in this case, it will be our dereliction of duty. ”

This time, Wu Sangui didn't dare to continue to be a nodding worm.

"What do you mean, the last general is going to kill out of the Lu and attack the Golden Tartar?"

Su Tiancheng shook his head with a smile.

"This day is coming sooner or later, but not now, the goal I just said is to be achieved, in fact, it is not very difficult, which requires us to build a good line of defense against Ningjin, what is called construction, that is, the people here can live and work in peace and contentment, can become a natural line of defense for my Ming Dynasty, Houjin Tartar does not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, along the way, there are almost no people, such a situation is definitely not good."

Wu Sangui was a little confused, could it be that Su Tiancheng asked everyone to go out and farm.

"My lord, the last will be dull."

Wu Sangui is honest, in front of Su Tiancheng, he is ashamed of himself, he is the eye of the palace test, and he created the Jiangning Battalion, which has both civil and military skills, and has reached the extreme.

"Hehe, think about it, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment, that is when they are not violated, it is possible, for example, the people are farming outside the Shanhaiguan, does he have to think, if the Houjin Tartars come, not only the food is gone, but the people are also looted, in this case, how can they live and work in peace and contentment, the goal we need to achieve is that the people can farm and live with peace of mind, even if the Houjin Tartars come, what they think of is that there is a Ming army to protect them, You can kill all the Houjin Tartars who dare to attack. ”

Wu Sangui's face turned a little red.

"The last general understands that this is all the incompetence of the last general, and he has not been able to protect the people."

"Responsibility can't be said to be no, but you don't have much responsibility, now, this is my responsibility, if I can't do this, I, the Jiliao Governor, is unqualified, always guarding the city, not daring to fight with the Houjin Tartars, wouldn't I become a shrinking turtle."

Wu Sangui's face turned even redder, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Su Tiancheng laughed secretly, what he wanted was such an effect, this Wu Sangui was thoughtful and ambitious, otherwise in history, he would not have rebelled twice, and he would have been the emperor in the end, so that Wu Sangui could not have some ideas, and he did not have to show off his small merits.

"Okay, Brother Wu, don't think about it so much, think about everything on yourself, I don't dare to say anything in the future, by the way, your father went to the capital last time, and now he must be back, I don't know how Lu Dao's body is, I'll take time to take a look, you and I are like brothers, and your father is also my elder."

"Don't dare, don't dare, after my father came back last time, I am very grateful for the hospitality of the adults, and I still remember it, the adults are busy with military affairs, and my father dare not disturb it."

"Hehe, no matter how busy you are, you have to go and see, I think it's appropriate now, let's go and see it together, otherwise we will start to be busy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Wu Sangui regained his nature and hurriedly led the way in front.

The place where Wu Xiang lives is actually next to the General Military Mansion, Wu Xiang used to live in the General Military Mansion, but later he was cut off, and it is not good to continue to live in the General Military Mansion.

Seeing Su Tiancheng coming, Wu Xiang hurriedly came out, walked outside the door of the mansion, and saluted Su Tiancheng with his fists.

There are still a lot of family members in Shanhaiguan, and there are many people who have seen this scene.

Zu Dashou, who followed Su Tiancheng, was also very admired, I didn't expect Su Tiancheng to be able to be a corporal, Wu Sangui was just the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Su Tiancheng served as the Jiliao Governor, and the chief soldiers under him were a lot of soldiers, and they could still remember the friendship at the beginning.

In the evening, Su Tiancheng and his entourage all rested.

Wu Xiang looked at Wu Sangui and spoke with a serious face.

"Uncle Chang, I can see it, Lord Su is really not simple, just now Zu Dashou said, one day, Lord Su rushed here from Jinzhou, close to four hundred miles, there are a few civil officials who can bear it, although the Jiangning battalion is not stationed in Shanhaiguan, but the news from Jinzhou and Ningyuan, since the Jiangning battalion was stationed, the Tartars did not dare to come and harass, and the Emperor Taiji of Houjin personally ordered that no attack was allowed, and I wanted to say, whatever Lord Su said, you have to listen to it, don't look at Lord Su to show that he is gentle and elegant, I really made up my mind to do things, I'm afraid it's better than anyone else, sometimes, I'm afraid the emperor is difficult to protect, hundreds of thousands of rogues, all of them were killed by the Jiangning camp, Liaodong won't take many years, and it will be calmed down, you follow Lord Su to work hard, make more contributions, don't worry about the future.
