Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou both came from the former Ming Dynasty, in the former Ming Dynasty, civil officials pay attention to a dare to speak, some civil officials repeatedly work against their bosses and even the emperor, and even do not hesitate to suffer from the board, just to gain a reputation that is not afraid of power.

However, this habit does not work here in the military attachés, who pay attention to the distinction between respect and inferiority, the superior is the superior, the subordinate is the subordinate, and what the superior says is an order, and no one is allowed to disobey it.

Therefore, although it was a bit strange to see that Li Yan did not seek a decisive battle with the enemy, but instead defended the battalion, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou just sat in their seats and did not dare to say much.

After Li Yan told several generals the details to pay attention to, he turned his head to Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou and smiled: "General Wu, General Zu, do you have any questions in your hearts about the arrangement of the official's aptitude?" ”

Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou glanced at each other, Qi Qi shook his head, Zu Dashou smiled bitterly: "Don't dare, I can't see through the arrangement of the superintendent, but compared to the superintendent, there must be a reason for you, and the last general will never dare to question the superintendent's order." ”

"Hehe, you guys!" Li Yan pointed at Wu Sangui and the others and laughed, "You must have doubts in your hearts, but you just don't dare to ask this official." ”

"This overseer will be wrong in the end." After the corners of Wu Sangui's mouth squirmed for a few minutes, they just gritted their teeth and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

Looking at Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou's sincere fear in front of him, Li Yan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Not long since. I'm just a small lifter. Although he is also a small celebrity in his hometown, he is not even an ant for a prince like Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou who have heavy troops, but now these two big people who had to look up in the past can only look at their own faces, what a big contrast.

However, although Li Yan was very proud in his heart, he was also very sober, and his power and status today all depended on the person sitting on the Jinluan Treasure Hall and the 20,000 lion force of the Third Legion, and he was nothing without them.

Thinking of Pang Gang's instructions to him before leaving, the corners of Li Yan's mouth turned up slightly, and now it was time to reveal the plan to the two of them.

Li Yan said: "General Wu, General Zu, you don't have to be like this. They all complained that the official did not make the matter clear to you, but it was a major matter related to the military aircraft, not only you, but even General Li Yuan did not disclose it. So it is not surprising that you do not know the meaning of what this official is doing. ”

"What, is there something hidden here? Didn't even Li Yuan, the emperor's henchman, know in advance? Hearing this, the generals of Liaodong were slightly taken aback.

Seeing everyone's somewhat surprised looks, Li Yan smiled and said: "Everyone knows our purpose this time, the emperor's intention is very clear, either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, you will completely beat the Manchu Tartars down, so that they will never be able to turn over!" But how do you fight it? Is it just our army of 50,000? You must all have questions, right? ”

Speaking of this, everyone's faces became embarrassed, and to be honest, they were not very optimistic about the plan to attack Shengjing this time. The reason is very simple, their strength is really insufficient, although the current Manchu Qing is not as good as their heyday a few years ago, but at least tens of thousands of troops can still be pulled out, and it is not ordinarily difficult to capture Shengjing with their 50,000 troops.

Looking at the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Li Yan knocked on the table a few times before he said, "Okay, don't guess, everyone, it's time to tell you the answer to the riddle." The plan to recover Liaodong this time was formulated by the emperor and the official himself, and naturally it is impossible to rely on our people to complete it, except for our people. There is also a team of men and horses who will attack Shengjing from the other direction, and our mission is to nail the Tartar firmly here. ”

"Whoa...... After listening to Li Yan's words, everyone couldn't help but make a noise, in addition to their imperial court, they also sent another group of people, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Zu Dashou was the first to speak and asked, "Supervisor." Is this what the emperor meant? ”

Zu Dashou's words made Li Yan frown, and from this sentence, Li Yan heard his vague dissatisfaction from Zu Dashou's mouth. Zu Dashou is dissatisfied with himself for hiding this big matter from him.

Li Yan turned his head to look at Wu Sangui again. found that Wu Sangui, a young man, was obviously not as good as Zu Dashou, so he directly showed dissatisfaction on his face and complained.

"Yes, Governor, the last general and General Zu are the chief soldiers, and the court doesn't know the last general for such a big matter, which is a bit unreasonable, right?"

Seeing the dissatisfied expressions and words of these two representatives of the Liaodong generals, Li Yan did not explain anything, but said in a deep voice: "General Zu, this is the emperor's meaning, and it is also the meaning of the governor. ”

Li Yan rarely did not explain this matter, but only used the four words of military aircraft to prevaricate the past, and asked the two of them what their opinions were, which was in stark contrast to Li Yan's gentle attitude on weekdays.

It was only at this time that Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui suddenly woke up, and they realized that the superintendent in front of them was not a good stubble, and they had already given Zu Dashou, a local general in Liaodong, a dismissal when they first arrived in Jinzhou.

Now that he dared to say the words of the military aircraft in front of everyone, it showed that he didn't care about everyone's reaction, and he didn't care about their backlash.

Looking at the faintly indignant expressions of the generals of Liaodong, Li Yan sneered: "Don't you hear that there is a cloud in the art of war, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, you must not ignore it." What a big deal it is for the imperial court to send troops to Liaodong in two ways this time, the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to reveal his tone, even General Li Yuan only learned about it today, why should you do this? ”

Everyone turned their attention to Li Yuan, who had been sitting silently beside Li Yan silently, and saw that the general who first followed the current emperor still looked calm and did not have a trace of dissatisfaction.

In an army that emphasizes the supremacy of strength, Li Yan holds such a powerful army in his hands, even if everyone is dissatisfied, they will not be able to take him, not to mention that the person behind him is still looking at them coldly.

Seeing that the generals of Liaodong lowered their heads, Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart, these guys are all hard and not soft, or the emperor is right, sooner or later he will have to tell them to get out of Liaodong

Just when Li Yan led the army and Huang Taiji to confront each other at the foot of the Lion Rock outside Shengjing, there was also a person in the capital thousands of miles away who was standing by a huge map with his hands behind his back and looking at Shengjing and the surrounding places that had been enclosed in red circles.

"Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, if you let you escape this catastrophe this time, it will be too unreasonable!" A faint sigh rang out in this simply decorated study.

At this time, a shrill voice peculiar to a eunuch sounded outside, "The imperial concubine has arrived!" ”

With the arrival of the voice, Zhu Yujiao, who was dressed in palace clothes, walked in in the company of two beautiful palace maids.

Although she is only sixteen years old this year, she has received the strictest formal royal education since she was a child, and she is the most luxurious and beautiful in Pang Gang's harem, and she is also very favored by Pang Gang.

But despite this, Zhu Yujiao did not hold favor and coquettishness, she still maintained a good friendship with Wei Manting and Kong Ruolan, the two queens of the East and West Palaces, as well as Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xuezhu, the two concubines, and even Ling'er and Qiao'er, the two concubines who were born as wedding maids, also talked very well. This had to make Pang Gang marvel at the outstanding diplomatic skills of this former Ming royal princess.

After entering the study, Zhu Yujiao put a cloak on Pang Gang's body and said softly: "Your Majesty, the weather is cold, why don't you wear more clothes, what if you catch a cold?" ”

Smelling the faint fragrance of the specific gravity, Pang Gang didn't answer, grabbed Zhu Yujiao's little hand, felt the delicate softness and just smiled silently.

Although it was her husband who grabbed her hand, she was still not used to this kind of intimacy after receiving a strict royal education since she was a child, so she had to shyly lower her head and whispered: "Your Majesty, someone is watching next to you." ”

Pang Gang laughed: "What are you afraid of, I am intimate with my daughter-in-law, do I still violate the rules of heaven?" ”

Speaking of which, Pang Gang, a guy from the next generation, is really a little out of place with the current people in some aspects. For example, since he has married seven daughters-in-law now, and they have all given them a title, it stands to reason that everyone should have their own courtyard, and the two queens should even have their own palaces.

But Pang Gang didn't do this, he lived in the Qianqing Palace on weekdays, and built a three-story building behind the former Qianqing Palace, so that his seven daughters-in-law and four children lived in, this move stunned both the civil and military ministers outside the palace and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

How can there be such an emperor throughout the ages, and the huge palace can't accommodate the emperor and a few concubines?

In the face of the officials who accused Pang Gang of being problematic in this practice, Pang Gang just lightly commented on the excerpt with four words: "It's about your!" And he sent them all away.

Zhu Yujiao was also very puzzled by Pang Gang's practice when she first got married, but as time went by, she gradually felt the benefits of this practice. At least everyone living in the same house is very lively and warm, and several sisters and children talk together every day, chatting and not feeling lonely and bored.

Seeing that Zhu Yujiao's white neck as white as jade began to turn red because of her own actions, Pang Gang stopped teasing her, and laughed softly: "Okay, what's the matter with Concubine Ai coming over?" (To be continued)
