The weather is getting colder and colder, the snow on the ground is shining in the sun, and the land of Liaodong is covered in silver. This sudden heavy snowfall caught many people off guard, and both sides of the battle fell into anxiety.

Standing at the head of Tieling City, Sun Chengzong frowned and looked at the countryside, wearing a bearskin coat on his body and a bearskin hat on his head, so as to resist the cold east wind. Glancing back at Xiong Tingbi standing beside him, Sun Chengzong sighed softly.

"My lord, why are you sighing?" Xiong Tingbi was very excited, this time he not only recovered Tieling and Kaiyuan, but also blocked Jiannu's retreat. I heard that the northwest side is playing well, and I can't be ashamed here.

Shaking his head gently, Sun Chengzong pulled the big on his body and said, "Feibai, I'm afraid our plan is going to fail, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight in this weather!" ”

Xiong Tingbi's heart was very hot, but he didn't expect Xiong Tingbi to teach himself a basin of cold water, calm down his mood, and Xiong Tingbi could also understand what Sun Chengzong said.

If there is no heavy snowfall, Jiannu is naturally unwilling to fail, and will definitely take back Tieling and Kaiyuan, so that there will be a battle to fight. However, the snow was too big, and in such weather, it was impossible for Jiannu to choose to attack the well-defended city of the Ming army, which was no different from sending him to death.

"Although we have stood in Kaiyuan and Tieling, it is not easy to restore the previous situation. Originally, in the north of Kaiyuan, the Yehebu of the Haixi Jurchens were stationed there, and they were staunch allies of the Ming Dynasty. In the northeast, there are other Jurchen tribes in Haixi, but now? Sun Chengzong didn't have the slightest expression on his face, his eyes stared at the outside of the city, and there was an indescribable loss in his tone.

Although Sun Chengzong didn't say anything, Xiong Tingbi could still understand Sun Chengzong's mood, because it was the same mood as him. As the saying goes, a general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops. In the first battle of Salhu, the advantages of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong for more than 200 years were gone.

The Haixi Jurchens, Hada and Huifa, who were originally in the same camp as the Ming Dynasty, were annexed by Jiannu, and many people in the Ula Department were killed in battle, and most of them were reorganized by Jiannu. Now only the Yehebu is left, and the Yehebu can be preserved because the Yehebu surrendered the wild boar skin and became a vassal of the Aixin Jueluo family.

Thinking back to one thing after another, Xiong Tingbi could only sigh helplessly, the situation in Liaodong has eroded to this point, and most of the blame must be attributed to the ministers in the court who have been fighting all the time. Corpse vegetarian meal, incompetent! This is what Xiong Tingbi said to them.

This is also the reason why Xiong Tingbi scolded them for so many years, in Xiong Tingbi's opinion, these people ruined the Ming Dynasty. In fact, in Xiong Tingbi's psychology, he did not blame the emperor who had not been in court for twenty years, but this could only be suppressed in his own psychology.

Seeing that Xiong Tingbi was deep in thought, Sun Chengzong didn't speak, just stood there quietly, and the cold wind blew on his face as if he didn't feel it. His snow-white beard fluttered in the wind, but his body still stood there firmly.

After a long time, Xiong Tingbi exhaled a breath of turbidity and said with a smile: "My lord, time has changed, and many things cannot be seen with the same eyes. ”

Sun Chengzong's face suddenly showed a smile, and he didn't look back, and said with joy in his tone: "Let's hear it!" ”

"Since the adults are interested, then the next official is ugly! Although the current situation is much worse than before, Xia Guan feels that this is just the surface, in fact, the situation is much better than before! Xiong Tingbi had a smile on his face, and the depression just now was swept away, with unprecedented confidence on his body.

Nodding with a smile, Sun Chengzong turned around slowly, looked at Xiong Tingbi with interest, and said, "It's a little interesting, let's hear it!" ”

"The battle of Salhu back then was not so much Yang Hao's mistake as the problem of the entire Ming Dynasty. The annihilation of the DPRK and China is in power, the border army is slack, and the combat effectiveness is low, and defeat in that battle is inevitable. Although the Ming Dynasty controlled Liaodong at that time, and the Haixi Jurchens helped in the war, the defeat was also expected! Xiong Tingbi sighed, although he had already let go, he still felt a little sad in his heart.

Nodding with satisfaction, Sun Chengzong finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, when he first came to Liaodong, Sun Chengzong cultivated Xiong Tingbi as his successor, and now he finally has a look.

"And now? What is the situation of Daming now? "It's not worth boasting about being able to see the past, it's the situation that you can see in your heart is the most important thing," Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice.

"Now it is naturally different, the current emperor has been pro-virtuous and far less than the emperor since he ascended the throne. Clarifying the court, reusing capable officials, and reorganizing the royal division have already had the posture of the Holy Lord. Reuse virtuous ministers like ministers to rectify the Liaodong army and horses, and now the Liaodong soldiers are strong and strong, and it is only a matter of time before they want to restore the original situation. It is also not a matter of exterminating Liaodong and ploughing the court to sweep the holes. Xiong Tingbi said with a smile, and finally patted Sun Chengzong's ass.

Shaking his head, Sun Chengzong said a little helplessly: "You! I don't know what to say about you! But you're right, the emperor is shengming, the Ming Dynasty is promising! ”

"Report!" Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were still trying to say something, but a voice interrupted the conversation between the two people, and a scout ran up from under the city.

Seeing the scout's face, Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi's faces became serious, this is the scout horse that is sent out, it seems that something big has happened.

"Greeting, Jiannu has already pulled out the camp, and they are walking east from the north of Kaiyuan City, and the speed is very fast. After passing through the territory of Yehebu, if there is no obstruction, you will soon be able to enter the defense line of the Jurchens. There was not the slightest expression on the scout's face, they had reported on the emergency military situation, and it was not up to them to decide what to do.

After listening to the scout's message, Sun Chengzong waved his hand to signal the scout to go down, turned to Xiong Tingbi and said, "What do you think is appropriate now?" ”

Xiong Tingbi's brows were furrowed tightly, he didn't expect that Jiannu really didn't call, he thought about it, and said, "My lord, such weather is extremely unfavorable for the army's actions. What's more, although we have 20,000 cavalry, the rest are only foot soldiers, and it is really difficult to pursue Jiannu in this weather. If you send troops to intercept Jiannu, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, and the slightest omission will be a waste of previous achievements. ”

nodded approvingly, if you pursue now, the possibility of defeat is very great. As the saying goes, put the place of death and come back to life, the combat power of Jiannu in the Jedi is definitely not trivial. What's more, there are many cavalry in Jiannu, so the snow is not good for his side. But such a good opportunity, if you let it go, it is really unwilling. If someone takes the opportunity to participate in the whole book, this crime of delaying the fighter plane is not so easy to resist.

"My lord, for the sake of today's plan, the lower official thinks so. Since you can't wait for Jiannu, then taking the initiative is the best choice. Of course, he couldn't intercept Jiannu's men, and Xia Guan felt that the best way was to return to the division and go straight to Fushun City. Taking advantage of Jiannu's lack of time to take care of it, Fushun's troops were empty and took Fushun down. In this way, you can be aggressive and talk about Hetuala. Once Fushun is regained from Xin, then it will be equivalent to nailing Jiannu here, so that it has no time to care about Yehe and the Mongol tribes! Xiong Tingbi's eyes flashed brightly, Xiong Tingbi felt that he should fight Fushun, but he was persuaded by Sun Chengzong.

Now that he has such a good opportunity, Xiong Tingbi naturally won't let it go, and after finishing speaking, Xiong Tingbi looked at Song Chengzong with anticipation.

After thinking quietly for a moment, Sun Chengzong nodded slowly, now fighting against Jiannu in the field, the possibility of his side winning is very small. However, when attacking Fushun City, Sun Chengzong was extremely confident that this battle would be won.

"Okay, then follow Feibai's proposal, pass on the commander's order, set off as a whole army, and take Fushun directly!" Sun Chengzong gave an order with a serious face, and moved under a word, after a day of preparation, the army was launched early the next morning!

At this time, the morale of the Jurchen team was very low, and a heavy snow extinguished the fighting spirit of most of the Eight Banners. When Nurhachi heard that Kaiyuan and Tieling had been lost, and that his son Abai had been killed in battle, he fell to the bed. This is tantamount to adding insult to injury to the already demoralized Jurchens.

In this case, attacking Tieling and Kaiyuan again is simply a dream. After everyone's persuasion, Nurhachi gave up his original plan and made a direct detour back to Xingjing.

However, at this time, Nurhachi didn't know that the Ming army had already waved his army to attack Fushun, and he didn't know what his reaction would be after knowing the news.

Like Nurhachi, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is now angry, but he can only lie in bed. The Emperor of the Apocalypse, whose body was extremely weak, although his face was much better, was still a little blue.

Glancing at Wei Chao and Luo Sigong who were kneeling on the ground, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't say a word, these two people had been kneeling there for an hour, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who originally cherished his courtiers, was unusually this time.

Greeting Wang Chengen, who was standing aside, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Go and open the window!" Smelling the pungent smell of Chinese medicine in the room, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that his head was swollen.

"Your Majesty, you are very weak now, and it is winter again, how can you open the window? The emperor still has to focus on the dragon body! Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stopped.

Glancing at Wang Chengen deeply, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not insist, and said: "Move all the incense burners in the house out, the windows must be opened, and the smell in the house must be released." Pick a few that are farther away from me and do it! ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was resolute, Wang Chengen could only nod and turn around to arrange people to do things.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse turned his gaze back to the two kneeling on the ground, the look in his eyes was very complicated, and he said softly after a long time: "Get up!" I'm not young anymore, and it's still a little cold on the ground. ”
