Chapter 260: Outside
After listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Feng's body, and they were not only curious about this household servant, but also the ministers present. Wu Liangsi, the head of the household, also looked at Lu Feng with a look of surprise at this time, he and Cheng Feng have known each other for a long time, and Cheng Feng is also his fellow countryman, and he is also a member of his party. But Wu Liangsi never found out that Cheng Feng still had this talent, this is really a real person who doesn't show his face!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since we can't stop the Jiannu or the Mongol Tartars from becoming bigger, then we should do something at this time to prevent our Ming Dynasty from falling into passivity in the future war." Cheng Feng groaned slightly, and said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a solemn expression.
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said quite seriously: "Cheng Aiqing, there is no need to say this, just say that you have any good ideas!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Cheng Feng said in a deep voice: "Whether Lin Dan Khan wins or Jiannu wins, it is the same for our Ming Dynasty, that is, we have one more powerful enemy. Before we know who wins, we should weaken them at the same time. In the end, no matter who wins, we will be able to take the lead! After Cheng Feng finished speaking, he looked up at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this is talking to the emperor, and every word he says must look at the emperor's attitude. If the emperor likes it, then continue, and if the emperor doesn't like it, then quickly change the topic.
However, this time Cheng Feng was disappointed, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no expression on his face, just looked at him so indifferently, without joy or disgust. But the more this is the case, the more Cheng Feng feels unsteady, and there are some fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Smiling indifferently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said softly: "Cheng Aiqing, you go on!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! Chen felt that this matter should also be divided into two parts, one of which was Lord Sun's side. There is nothing to say about the Jiannu of Zunhua, just eliminate it, and there is nothing to say about the Jiannu of Guangning City, just eliminate it and take down Guangning. These are all as they should be, there is nothing to say, what the minister wants to say is the next thing. Cheng Feng listened again, and raised his head to look at the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Sighing softly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that Cheng Feng had too little contact with him, and he had a lot of scruples when he said it. Nodding at Cheng Feng, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "This time you are not allowed to stop, and you will finish the words at one time." ”
Slightly stunned, Cheng Feng knew that he had made a self-defeating gesture, and gave a salute to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Cheng Feng hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty!" Obey the order. The minister felt that this was the case, and after we eliminated these two groups of Jiannu, we must send troops to further conquest. Of course, the ministers who sent troops to recruit felt that they could be divided into two parts, one of which was on Lord Sun's side. After the annihilation of Zunhua's Jiannu, you can go directly from Xifengkou, and the target is the Huazar Tucha Han City of Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department. ”
As soon as Cheng Feng's words landed, the sound of inhaling cold air sounded in the entire hall, there was nothing else, Cheng Feng's trick was too amazing. The city of Vazartucha Khan is the lair of Lin Dan Khan, and its status is equivalent to the city of Hetuala, which is equivalent to the city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty. If you take advantage of the war between Jiannu and Lin Dan Khan and take Lin Dan Khan's Vazar Tucha Khan City in one fell swoop, you will not only be able to obtain countless horses, cattle and sheep, but also drive a nail in the steppe.
As long as there is this city, the Ming Dynasty can use it as a stronghold for the grassland, and where to raise good horses. However, with huge gains comes huge risks, Lin Dan Khan's royal city is 400 miles away from the Xifeng Pass of the Ming Dynasty, and it is 800 miles back and forth. If you have an elite cavalry, this is nothing, but if you don't, such an operation is very dangerous.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought quietly, raised his head and said to Cheng Feng expressionlessly: "Cheng Aiqing, you go on." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! On the other hand, it's Xiong Tingbi, Lord Xiong. Liaodong has just dropped out of 50,000 people, but in the transfer of 50,000 people, it is not a problem in Weichen's opinion. Jiannu and the Mongol Tatars fought on the steppe, and Liaodong was safe and could draw troops as much as possible. If he could, Lord Xiong should have sent troops from Quang Ninh to attack the Mongol tribes allied with Jiannu. Cheng Feng looked at the huge map and said excitedly.
Shaking his head slightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a serious expression: "This plan is not feasible, Liaodong's troops are insufficient, and if 50,000 troops are being transferred, there will be no one in Liaodong." Besides, it takes 200 miles from Guangning to reach the place you said, even if everything goes smoothly and the attack is successful, the speed of 50,000 people coming back is too slow. Once there are elite cavalry chasing after them, the consequences are unimaginable. This risk cannot be taken, it is not worth it, it is too much to pay if you fail, and too little to get if you succeed. ”
Cheng Feng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to think about the problem like this, but he also admired the Emperor of the Apocalypse. After a slight ponder, Cheng Feng continued: "Then we only need to go north to Kaiyuan and Tieling, and take back these two cities that originally belonged to us." However, there is a 20,000-strong Jiannu cavalry between Kaiyuan and Tieling, and it is very difficult to break through here! ”
Listening to Cheng Feng's words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled indifferently, and said in a rather relaxed tone: "50,000 horses against 20,000 Jiannu, if he Xiong Tingbi can't win, he can go home and hug his wife and have a son." According to me, the 30,000 people in Zunhua may not all be Jiannu, since they are going to fight a decisive battle with Lin Dan Khan, Jiannu will put most of their troops there. Therefore, among the 30,000 cavalry in Zunhua, there are only 10,000 Jiannu cavalry at most, more than 10,000 in Guangning, and 20,000 in Kaiyuan and Tieling. ”
Listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, those who understood nodded their heads, Jiannu has eight banners, each banner has 10,000 people, and there are also the coats and minions of the generals who lead the troops, that is, the personal soldiers of the generals of the Ming Dynasty. However, they have more personal soldiers, so that there will be about 12,000 people per banner. The Eight Banners will add up to about 100,000 people, which is all the combat power that Jiannu can take. In the last battle of Shenyang City, Jiannu lost 20,000 people, and I believe that it should be made up after returning. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu grew up on horseback from an early age, and each child was a warrior. As long as you recruit into the team, you can fight, and you don't need to do additional training.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse believed that the Jiannu in Zunhua was a banner of men, Guangning City was a banner of men and horses, and in Kaiyuan and Tieling, it was definitely a banner of men and horses. The remaining 5 banners and 60,000 people must all be waiting on the grassland to compete with Lin Dan Khan. This time, Jiannu took out all his family funds to gamble, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse admired Nurhachi's courage very much, and he didn't know if he had the courage to do so.
Walking back and forth in the main hall, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and thought quietly, and after a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse spoke: "Everyone, Aiqing, do you have any other opinions to say?" ”
Seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse asking, the ministers below looked at each other and shook their heads together. Many people are thinking, let Cheng Feng say this, what else do they say!
Seeing that no one spoke, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then all Aiqing will go back first!"
"Wait for the resignation!" After paying homage to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the ministers all left.
When there was no one in the main hall, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wang Chengen on the side, and asked with a smile, "How is the matter I gave you?" There doesn't seem to be any movement in the palace! ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is preparing, you need to check it first!" Wang Chengen hurriedly explained that he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Seeing that Wang Chengen seemed to be a little nervous, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gently patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, what to do is your business, since I handed it over to you, I won't say anything more." I'm just asking, don't think about it. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! Thank you, Lord Long. Bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen said respectfully.
"What do you think of today's events?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the big map, frowned slightly, and asked Wang Chengen behind him.
After being slightly stunned, Wang Chengen said in a rather serious tone: "Your Majesty, the minister is a minister, obey Your Majesty's orders, as for the major military affairs, there are ministers who share the emperor's worries." As an eunuch, the minister did not dare to trespass. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Yes, you and Chen Hong are both good, the name is reasonable, knowing how to advance and retreat, it's rare!" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was emotional, and Wang Chengen was in a cold sweat, just now he guessed that this was the Emperor of the Apocalypse testing himself. He didn't think that a strong Emperor of the Apocalypse would test himself on how to fight this battle, he must be testing himself, but fortunately, he pressed it right.
"Proposed decree, this holy decree is a secret decree, let the people of Dongchang send it, it must be kept secret!" Looking at Wang Chengen, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said quite seriously.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister knew that the minister would go to Gonggong Wei in person and make his words clear to him. Wang Chengen hurriedly said respectfully.
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "The first holy decree is for Sun Chengzong, let him do his best to exterminate Jiannu, and put Chengfeng's suggestion into it, as for how to do it, let him think about it himself!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister wrote it down. Wang Chengen said respectfully.
"The second decree is for Xiong Tingbi, and the decree that reprimands him should be separated from this one, and this is a secret decree. Write down Cheng Feng's opinion, and then let him think about it himself, as for how to send troops, let Xiong Tingbi make his own decision. The Emperor of the Apocalypse pondered for a moment and said with a solemn face.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Minister, let's do it! After giving a salute to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen was about to leave.
With a slight wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "After the holy decree is drafted, show it to me first, and then send it to the celebrant to seal it." At the end of both decrees, it was written to me: 'There will be no disapproval of the king's command!' ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After speaking, Wang Chengen left quickly.
