Seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse sitting there in a daze, this battle-hardened veteran general was also a little at a loss at this time. Looking up at Chen Hong, who was standing behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Xiong Tingbi's eyes were full of inquiry.

Smiled softly, Chen Hong shook his head at Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi didn't know what was going on, but Chen Hong understood it very well. Every time the Emperor of the Apocalypse showed such a look, he was thinking about something big, and this time I am afraid it was a matter of Liaodong.

After a while, the Emperor of the Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Xiong Tingbi, who was a little overwhelmed, and sighed softly in his heart. Whether it is Xiong Tingbi or Wang Huazhen, the ability is there, but the main thing is Xiong Tingbi. As for Wang Huazhen, he is a typical Donglin Party member. Zhida is talented, what he says is very good, and he does things in a disorderly manner.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gave a definition of Xiong Tingbi, an official who knew the situation in Liaodong well and a general who served the country loyally. The most important thing is that he has the ability, but his ability is mainly in combat and defense, and he can be the leader of an army, but he cannot dominate the overall situation.

If Xiong Tingbi is a general, he will be able to conquer everything, fight without victory, defend the land and the people, and be a good general. But if you want to take an overview of the overall situation and arrange the war in the entire Liaodong, this person doesn't have that ability.

"Xiong Aiqing, tell me what you think! Since I ascended the throne, I have been quite worried about the affairs of Liaodong, and Aiqing has something to say. Today, I talked to Aiqing, no matter what Aiqing said, I don't blame! Glancing at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse took a reassuring pill for him.

The minister said that the minister had been in Liaodong for many years and was very clear about the situation in Liaodong. The combat effectiveness of our army and the army of the Later Jin is far apart, and since the Salhu, our army has lost the strength to fight with the Later Jin. Saying that, Xiong Tingbi got up, took out a map from the cabinet not far away, and hung it in the center of the lobby. Glancing at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Xiong Tingbi pointed to the map and said: "At this time, Liaodong can be divided into three forces, one is the Later Jin, and the Later Jin occupies a large area north of Shenyang. There are abundant water and grass here, and there are large areas of plains and mountain forests. It provided a lot of strategic depth for the Houjin, and the Houjin cavalry was very fast. You can run long distances to defend various points of my defense, looking for weak points to break through. ”

"In order to deal with the tactics of the Houjin, our army should focus on defense, build city defenses, fortresses, and conduct defensive attacks on the front line of the Liaohe River. As for the second force, it is the Tatars, although they are Tatars, they are not so much Mongols. At this time, the Mongols had already been integrated, and the nominal commander was Lin Dan Khan, and the Mongolian language was called Danba Turtaiji. Although we now have good relations with Lin Dan Khan, but also to deal with the rising Houjin, we are trading with Tatar in Quang Ninh at this time. Saying this, Xiong Tingbi subconsciously glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and when he saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had the same face, he sighed softly.

In fact, the peace between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty at this time was short-lived and unstable, and if it were not for the containment of the Later Jin ** Hachi, I am afraid that a major war would have broken out between the two sides long ago. Before the Battle of Sarhu in the summer of the 36th year of Wanli, the Mongols under the rule of Lin Dan Khan were in a favorable position with the Later Jin and Ming dynasties. Since the 38th year of Wanli, Lin Dan Khan has attacked the Liaodong border of the Ming Dynasty for many years, demanding a city reward. In the face of the growing threat of the Later Jin, the Ming Dynasty in order to avoid a two-front war, and hoped to use the power of Lin Dan Khan to contain the Later Jin, the Ming Dynasty agreed to use Guangning Town (now Jinzhou North Town, Liaoning) as a window for trade with Mongolia in the 38th year of Wanli, giving Mongolia economic benefits, so in the early days of Hachi's attack on the Liaodong region, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia were at peace. In return, the Ming Dynasty presented Lin Dan Khan with a thousand taels of silver every year as a token of gratitude.

The balance of power between the Later Jin and the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty took a fundamental turn after the victory of the Battle of Sarhu. Soon after the end of the Battle of Sarhu, Hachi continued to attack the Tieling garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty non-stop, and the Ming Dynasty, which was greatly injured, had to ask Lin Dan Khan for help at this time. So Lin Dan Khan hurriedly sent the Inner Khalkha Five, Korqin Department led more than 10,000 troops to aid the Ming army, when the Mongolian reinforcements arrived in Tieling, ** Hachi had captured Tieling, in the number of superior and morale of the Houjin army attack, the Mongolian army was defeated, several princes and generals were also captured by the Houjin.

For these things, Xiong Tingbi is naturally clear, although Mongolia still has a certain strength at this time, it no longer has the strength to attack Houjin. In addition, the strategy adopted by the Later Jin was to divide the Mongol tribes, which made Lin Dan Khan take care of himself, and after solving the Mongolian threat to himself, the ** Hachi of the Later Jin couldn't wait to defeat the Ming army in Liaodong and capture the Liaohe Plain, which was rich in water and grass, and rich in materials.

"Now Mongolia is too busy to take care of itself, and it is difficult to have the strength to send troops to help us, and our own strength is not enough to attack Houjin, so the minister thinks that it is better to defend the main." After Xiong Tingbi said his thoughts, he glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but unfortunately there was not the slightest expression on the face of this young Son of Heaven. There is no approval or opposition to be seen.

Standing up slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse came to the front of the map, looking at the positions occupied by the three forces above and the deployment of troops, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned tightly.

"Aiqing, I don't know what I can do for Liaodong?" After a while, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled lightly and looked at Xiong Tingbi with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty, although the minister has ideas, he doesn't dare to say it." Xiong Tingbi lifted his clothes, knelt on his knees, and said loudly.

Looking at Xiong Tingbi, who was excited, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that this person was extremely depressed in his heart. I have Lingyunzhi in my heart, but I can't show it, I am always swayed by external things, this kind of depression is unbearable, which ordinary people can't bear.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also in a heavy mood, and slowly walked to Xiong Tingbi's side, helped him up, and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, I have something to say today, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the disaster of the Ming Dynasty is not in Liaodong, not in Houjin, but in the court! Although Houjin is strong, my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and a wide range of resources. When Taizu was expelled from Mengyuan, didn't he use these soldiers? Chengzu swept the quilt, and it was the same, why at this time, my Ming army was suppressed by the small Houjin? The minister said something disrespectful because of the constraints of the court! Military salaries were embezzled, but the generals led the troops outside but were constrained in many ways. The ministers have formed a party for personal gain, and disregarded the country and the people for their own interests. Xiong Tingbi knelt down again and touched the ground with his head, this iron-clad man was in tears at this time.

The first chapter is here, ask for a ticket!
