"Five years can be expected?" Hu Guang listened, and asked rhetorically with a strange expression on his face.

When Xu Guangqi saw it, his old face turned red, and he lowered his head and coughed a few times to cover it up. When he raised his head, he was already serious, and said matter-of-factly: "Five years of Pingliao may be exaggerated, but Inspector Yuan has indeed won many battles against Jianyu. ”

Regarding the military problems of the Ming Kingdom, Tang Ruowang didn't understand, he looked at Xu Guangqi, and then at Hu Guang, wanting to interject but didn't know how to speak.

"Hehe, dare to ask my lord, can Inspector Yuan's victory be won in a field battle?" Hu Guang didn't bother with how big Yuan Chonghuan's victory was and how many enemies he killed, but with a trace of disdain, he asked how to win.

Xu Guangqi shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "It is a battle to defend the city. ”

"If there is no victory in the field, it is possible to level the Liao by defense alone?" Hu Guang immediately asked.

Xu Guangqi shook his head at first, but immediately explained: "As long as we hold the front line of western Liaoning, wait for my Ming soldiers to have enough food, and then go to level Liao, it will be a safe move." ”

Hu Guang smiled, it is estimated that this is wishful thinking of the imperial court. He didn't want to delay any longer, so he directly expressed his opinion: "If I were a slave chief, I would definitely not be restrained." Your Ming army resisted the city and defended it, and I couldn't defeat it, so it was a natural idea to bypass the city that I couldn't fight. ”

Hearing Hu Guang talk about the basis of his original prophecy, Xu Guangqi listened carefully and did not speak again.

"And if you want to bypass the Shanhaiguan defense line, it must be through the Mongolian steppe. As long as I can maintain my superiority in the field, no matter where I go, I will take the initiative. It was from this that the boy came to the conclusion that Jianyu must have made a detour through the Mongolian steppe and attacked the land of Gyeonggi. ”

Xu Guangqi frowned tightly, because when he heard the conclusion of these words. I didn't think about it. Listening to it again at this time, he was a little unconvinced, and immediately stood up and motioned for Hu Guang to follow him to the side where the Liaodong enemy and friend morphology map were hung.

Then he said the words he had said to Tang Ruowang on the map again, and finally stared at Hu Guang and asked, "Such a situation." How dare you assert that Jianyu will make a detour to the Mongolian steppe? ”

Hu Guang didn't hesitate, and immediately looked back at Xu Guangqi and said, "My lord, dare to ask, can there be practical actions in such a situation?" That is, Jianyu attacked the west, did the general Mao soldiers on the eastern front attack? Jianyu attacked the east, did the Yuan Inspector on the western front attack? ”

Xu Guangqi was stunned when he heard this, they all said the horn trend, but in fact it didn't seem to be the case.

Tang Ruowang also followed just now. Seeing that Xu Guangqi was asked, he couldn't help but look at Hu Guang. He didn't expect Hu Guang to be so young, and when he chatted with himself, he was the head of the road; Now when I talk to Paul about military affairs, I am the first to talk about it. Where did he learn and have such profound skills?

After a while, Xu Guangqi came back to his senses, he pointed to the map and said, "Jianyu often has the move to attack the west. As long as there are more troops, the general army of Mao on the eastern front will attack from this. ”

"Good. That is to say, there will be a response on the Eastern Front. Hu Guang summed up, and then continued, "That's still empathy, if I am a slave chieftain, if I want to break this unfavorable situation, I must destroy the Ming army on the Eastern Front." ”

"But the Ming army on the eastern front is shrinking to the island. It is not advisable to exterminate, and the coastline is so long, it is not good to defend passively. Then you have to think of something else. ”

Hu Guang's arguments are all logical reasoning, which is more convincing. Therefore, Xu Guangqi nodded from time to time while listening to him talk eloquently.

"And the Ming army on the western front is guarding the Shanhaiguan. It is the dangerous pass leading to the Guannai in Liaodong, and it is also the most important checkpoint. If Shanhaiguan fails, the Beijing division will be in danger. It can be seen that no matter how bad the opponent is, he will inevitably release the general army and select capable ministers. ”

"Such a comparison, if it doesn't work, then it will naturally be a conspiracy. No matter what the conspiracy is, there is only one purpose, which is to break the current situation that this kind of thing cannot be attacked. ”

When Hu Guang said this, he asked Xu Guangqi with a straight face: "If the adult is a slave chief, will you choose Shanhaiguan to start in the face of this situation, or will you choose to start in the remote east?" ”

Hu Guangdu said that the Shanhaiguan on the Western Front must not be lost, and no matter who knows this. Xu Guangqi's gaze naturally looked at Dongjiang Town on the Eastern Front, no matter what, he must use all kinds of means to exterminate the Eastern Front.

When Hu Guang saw Xu Guangqi's gaze, he knew where he was thinking. He continued: "After the kid arrived in Beijing, he heard about the deeds of General Mao on the Eastern Front. From this, the villain concluded that General Mao was in danger! Therefore, I was anxious to find my friend John Tang early this morning, hoping that he could convey my thoughts to adults, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late. ”

Seeing him shaking his head and sighing, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh too, but he was still a little curious and asked: "Why do you know that General Mao is in trouble when you hear about General Mao's deeds?" ”

If Hu Guang had said this conclusion at the beginning, Xu Guangqi would have thought that he was hindsight, but listening to Hu Guang's eloquent talk, one link after another, it was all reasonable, so he didn't have this idea, and sincerely asked for advice.

Hu Guang still maintained his previous respectful attitude and replied: "The reason why there is an Eastern Front is because General Mao has laid a large piece of land from scratch. In a certain way, the generals of the Eastern Front are all serving Mao's general soldiers. If he is gone, it is difficult to say what will happen next. ”

"It can be said that it doesn't matter much if you lose a city or a place on the Eastern Front; And if General Mao loses, the morale of the army will inevitably be unstable, and if there is another accident, it will be easy to collapse. Therefore, Mao's general army is the seven inches of the Eastern Front. If I were a slave chief, I would definitely try to kill General Mao. ”

In history, it is indeed the case that the Slave Chief Emperor Taiji used various moves to break the only Ming army in the Ming army that would take the initiative to attack and be dangerous to Jianjiao. I have used high-ranking officials to recruit surrenders, anti-intermediary schemes, etc., but it has been ineffective until Yuan Chonghuan becomes the governor of Jiliao.

Xu Guangqi acquiesced, lowered his head and did not speak.

Hu Guang's voice was a little quieter, but his tone was very decisive and asked: "Now that General Mao is dead, the Ming army on the Western Front does not dare to go out of the city to fight. In this case, why didn't Jianyu dare to bypass the dangerous pass of the fortified city on the western front and attack the pass from the Mongolian steppe? ”

Xu Guangqi raised his head when he heard the voice, and there was faint sweat on his forehead. Now that Mao Wenlong is dead, how is the combat strength of the Dongjiang River unknown, and the Nu chieftains really have the courage to bypass the Shanhaiguan Pass and attack from the Mongolian steppe?

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his heart, and he immediately asked Hu Guangdao: "If the slave chief has such courage, isn't he afraid that the army that attacked the pass will be wiped out?" (To be continued.) )
