Chapter 817: Dispute

When Hong Chengchou spoke again, his expression was extremely serious, and his words were much heavier.

"Lord Chen, Lord Qian, if there is really the kind of situation you are talking about, we will all be sinners of the Ming Dynasty through the ages, I have no intention of being alarmist, but according to your deployment, once Houjin does his best to besiege Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, after he succeeds, what will be the end, the army led by Lord Chen has lost the support of the rear, but has fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Houjin Tartars, and it is impossible to achieve any results in the battle, Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City are lost, and the Guanning Jin defense line will face a huge crisis, Even a complete loss, at that time, the door of the capital was wide open, the dynasty was shaken, what do we use to turn the tide, are we ready to let the capital again under the siege of the Houjin Tartars. ”

After Hong Chengchou said this, Chen Xinjia's body shook slightly, obviously pondering, but Qian Qianyi opened his mouth and refuted Hong Chengchou.

"Lord Hong, you are alarmist, the 100,000 army led by Lord Chen, can it be said that they will stand by and watch, even if the Houjin Tartars do their best to besiege Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, are they just Shenyang, if that situation really occurs, Lord Chen can lead the army and approach Shenyang, I believe that at that time, the Houjin Tartars will definitely collapse completely."

Hong Chengchou looked at Qian Qianyi, as if he didn't know him, he felt that Qian Qianyi was too naΓ―ve, he didn't know the cruelty of the battle in Ludao at all, and thought that the battle was completely under his control, thinking that the Houjin Tartars were vulnerable, and that with 100,000 border troops, he could completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars and destroy the Houjin regime. can actually come to Liaodong, is the imperial court so short of people, Hong Chengchou knows even more that if Qian Qianyi said such a thing in front of Su Tiancheng, he would definitely be pushed back by Su Tiancheng immediately, and Qian Qianyi would be removed from all positions.

It's a pity that Hong Chengchou has no authority to do so.

"Lord Qian. I'm not alarmist, Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City are the gateways of the Guanning Jinfeng Defense Line, the most important place, as long as we hold Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, the Houjin Tartars will not dare to move, if they are desperate and directly attack Ningyuan or Shanhaiguan, then they need to think about it. There was a fortified city in front, and a heavy army in the back, unless they were not afraid of total annihilation. ”

"Let's take a look at Lord Qian's arrangement, Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City have no key defense, and they have become the easiest place for Houjin Tartars to attack, once Houjin Tartars occupy Dalinghe City, it will completely block the route of the army's return, and the situation of flanking before and after is easily formed. Later, the Golden Tartars laid down heavy troops in the area of Dalinghe City. The garrisons of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan will encounter stubborn resistance when they rush to the aid of Dalinghe City, and Houjin Tartar has Dalinghe City as a support, and when our army rushes to help, they can also take the opportunity to attack Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. Their cavalry moved quickly, and even if they could not capture it, they could encircle our reinforcements in Dalinghe City in front and rear, causing us heavy losses. ”

"Lord Money, any fight. After the battle of Dalinghe in Chongzhen for four years, the border army of Liaodong can only be stuck in the city, because Dalinghe City is too close to Jinzhou, and it is only two hundred miles away from Ningyuan, and the cavalry of Houjin Tartar can act quickly, and they can attack Ningyuan or even Shanhaiguan when they retreat, and they can return to Dalinghe City. ”

What Hong Chengchou said is very reasonable, but unfortunately he inadvertently talked about Su Tiancheng, which made Qian Qianyi angry, Qian Qianyi is not familiar with the battle at all, and judges it completely based on his own experience, which is like saying that in the battle, the safety of the coach must be ensured first, and if necessary, losing the car to protect the coach is the most important and the first consideration, Qian Qianyi also understands this, so he thinks that his consideration is not wrong.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you lose Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, as long as Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are still in your hands, there is nothing particularly worth worrying about, at least Jingshi can still protect it.

"Lord Hong, you are the majesty of the Changhou Jin Tartar, extinguishing your own ambition, is the Houjin Tartar really so powerful, Lord Chen led an army of 100,000, and will definitely be able to beat the Houjin Tartar, they are too late to deal with the army, what else do they have to think about attacking Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, is it possible that Houjin Tartar is an iron man, able to deal with the attack of my 100,000 army on the one hand, and attack Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City on the other, Lord Hong should not say such things casually, no matter what, Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan are the most important places, There must not be the slightest slip-up. ”

Hong Chengchou laughed angrily and looked at Chen Xinjia, at this time, Chen Xinjia's attitude was crucial.

But Hong Chengchou didn't have much confidence, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi had already discussed, obviously Chen Xinjia also agreed to this plan, which shows that Chen Xinjia didn't have much foresight, and he didn't realize where the most important thing was in the Guanningjin defense line.

Chen Xinjia had to speak.

"There is some truth in what Lord Hong said, but I think that Lord Qian's proposal is more appropriate, if the Houjin Tartars really poured out their nests and wanted to take down the Guanning Jin defense line, then they would have to abandon Shenyang, in this case, we use the solidity of the Guanning Jin defense line to resist the attack of the Houjin Tartars, and the army will directly attack Shenyang, which can destroy the sharp spirit of the Houjin Tartars in one fell swoop and achieve a major victory."

Hong Chengchou finally understood, it turned out that this opinion was originally from Chen Xinjia, and I am afraid that there is another meaning in this arrangement, that is, to lure the Houjin Tartars to attack the Guanningjin defense line, and the 100,000 border troops led by Chen Xinjia The ultimate goal is to point to Shenyang.

Such an arrangement, if Su Tiancheng learns about it, he will definitely think that Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi are crazy, the battle is not a child's play, and people will not follow your plan to draw a good path, Houjin has hundreds of thousands of troops, if it is not able to fundamentally destroy the strength of Houjin step by step, thinking of relying on an opportunistic opportunity, to completely exterminate the Houjin regime, this is wishful thinking, and this approach is to ignore the Guanningjin defense line, and at that time, there will be a large army destroyed by the Houjin Tartars, In the situation where the Guanning Jin defense line was lost, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi would at most apologize with death, but there was a huge danger in the Ming Dynasty, and all the efforts of the Jiangning camp, all the plans of Su Tiancheng, and all the expectations of the emperor would be gone.

What is good and joyful, what is blind and ignorant, Hong Chengchou finally has a deep understanding.

At this time, Hong Chengchou couldn't bear it anymore.

"Lord Chen, Lord Qian, the battle is not child's play, Sun Tzu said, the major events of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. After the conquest of the Golden Tartars, such a major event, it is natural to properly arrange all aspects, blindly whimsical, not combined with the actual situation, if there is a crisis, how to deal with it, the Guanning Jin defense line is my Ming Dynasty to resist the Houjin dependence, so many years, no matter what method the Houjin Tartars use, can not break through, if it is because of this campaign deployment, resulting in problems in the Guanning Jin defense line, I am afraid it is not our responsibility. ”

The meaning of Hong Chengchou's words is very clear.

Qian Qianyi's face also changed.

"Lord Hong said cautiously, Lord Chen is responsible for all matters in Liaodong, including the Golden Tartars after this expedition, and I am responsible for the guard of the Guanningjin defense line, all matters, Lord Hong must obey the arrangement, I came to you today, but to inform the relevant deployment, if Lord Hong has an opinion, although it is played, you still have to obey the military order."

Chen Xinjia hesitated, looked at Hong Chengchou, and did not speak.

"Lord Chen, this defense of the Guanningjin defense line, but you agreed, but you are ready to play the imperial court according to such a deployment."

Chen Xinjia doesn't speak, Hong Chengchou won't give up, he won't care about Qian Qianyi's attitude, but Chen Xinjia is the governor of Liaodong and is responsible for all matters in Liaodong, so it is impossible for Hong Chengchou not to care.

Chen Xinjia still didn't speak immediately.

"Lord Hong, what do you mean by this, Lord Chen has already said just now, this kind of deployment is good, you just obey."

"Master Qian, I didn't ask you, so it's better to ask you to shut up."

Qian Qianyi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he pointed at Hong Chengchou, speechless.

Seeing such a situation, Chen Xinjia finally spoke.

"Lord Hong has a different opinion and can play it to the imperial court, but the deployment of the Guanningjin defense line is still arranged according to what Lord Qian said, and I hope that Lord Hong will focus on the overall situation."

Hong Chengchou's face was blue.

"Lord Chen, Lord Qian, the stakes are very high, I will not obey this order, I will definitely go to the court, as for Lord Chen and Lord Qian thinking about how to impeach me, please take your leave."

Hong Chengchou turned around and left, he didn't even have time to say the deployment of Su Tiancheng's plan, at this time, it didn't have much effect for him to say such a deployment.

After returning to the barracks, Hong Chengchou felt the seriousness of the situation, this matter, the best way is to report to Su Tiancheng as soon as possible, if you really follow the deployment of Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi, there will really be a big thing in Liaodong. The lesson between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, he will not forget, Xiong Tingbi was Liaodong Jinglu at that time, Wang Huazhen was the governor of Liaodong, the two because of disagreement, resulting in problems with the tactical arrangement, resulting in the loss of Guangning, and then the two moved into Shanhaiguan, resulting in thousands of miles of Liaodong occupied by Houjin, martial law in Beijing, and the shaking of the dynasty, such a thing must not happen now.
