All the civil and military forces in Shanhaiguan are opposed to sending troops at this time, not to mention that there were scouts who came to report last night, and when the Sakha army in Guannan moved, the Daishan army located outside the gate was also ready to move.

Sun Chengzong also had to put away the idea of sending troops to Jinzhou under everyone's advice, after all, he did not express his position in public, but said that the matter must be discussed later. After leaving the lobby, Sun Chengzong specially called Gu Shishi to the mansion.

When Sun Chengzong learned the news that his second son Sun Ji had not died, his whole person became much more energetic, so he was miraculously able to sit up today. However, after all, his body was weak, and he felt very tired after he went back, but he still insisted on seeing Gu Shishi.

Gu Shishi, Sun Chengzong, must be seen, and he must really understand Li Xin's true intentions in the next step.

"Returning to the old pavilion, the general's intention, only by firmly occupying Jinzhou can we keep Guanning Jin, otherwise the Liaoxi defense line that has been operating for many years will be completely destroyed!"

Sun Chengzong thought deeply about this, but he sighed and said tremblingly:

"Having said that, the fortress on the way from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan was burned by the Tartars after all, and it is not easy to restore the old view, Li Xinqi's heart is commendable, but guarding Jinzhou is a worthy road!"

Gu Shishi's face was awe-inspiring, but he replied to Sun Chengzong firmly.

"Back to the elder, the general said that the loss of Jinzhou is a sign of the loss of the country, even if you know that there are tigers in the mountains, you have to go to the tiger mountain! Jinzhou must be defended, and if it cannot be defended, it must be defended! ”

He was originally full of hope for this old man Sun Ge, who was praised all over the world, but now that he heard Sun Chengzong's intentions, he actually had the intention of persuading the general to give up Jinzhou, and he was also dissatisfied and disappointed with the old man on the couch. But, after all, Sun Chengzong's lost son is also in Jinzhou, even if he doesn't think about the general, he can't think about his son, right? But he still did not send troops, there was only one conclusion, this old man's decision was all out of public intentions, Gu Shishi was disappointed, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful to him, this kind of civil official who did not care about his selfishness was the first time he had seen it.

"It's a good one who knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and they go to the tiger mountains!" Sun Chengzong's gaze suddenly widened, but his tone dropped after that.

"Hey, if my Ming Dynasty is such a loyal and brave man, how can I fall to such a state!" Sun Chengzong let out another long sigh, and there were a few points of crystal light shining in his dry old eyes.

Sun Chengzong closed his eyes and did not move for a long time. Gu Shishi almost thought that he was asleep, but there was no order, and it was not to go, nor was it to go. Fortunately, Sun Chengzong quickly opened his eyes.

"General Gu, the old man can't give you any guarantees, but you can sue Li Xin, as long as the form allows, the old man will definitely do his best to facilitate the dispatch of troops. You...... You can go down......"

Gu Shishi was waiting for Sun Chengzong to ask about his son's current situation, but the old man was stunned and didn't say a word, which was really admirable.

The Qing troops in Shanhaiguan were withdrawn, and the evacuation was clean, and the crisis was initially lifted. A horse galloped south, the messenger carried the paperwork of the victory, and rushed straight to the Daming Jingshi for 800 miles. Gu Shishi left Shanhaiguan safely and rushed back to Jinzhou disappointed, this trip was not as smooth as expected, except for helping the people in the city to thwart the conspiracy of the Qing army, it can almost be said that it was a futile.

Along the way, Gu Shixi discovered some differences from when he came, although there were Tartar scout rangers when he came, there were not many. And this time, even though he was walking in some remote parts of the dense forest, he still encountered many scouts. This is enough to prove that the Tartar will make a big move, and when he thought of this, Gu Shishi's heart was so anxious that he couldn't help but speed up his horse.

Dai Shan really planned to withdraw his troops, and last night he was originally getting along with Sakha Ling in one pass, and one outside the pass acted together, and took Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop before returning to the division. But he waited all night, and Sakha in the gate didn't move, which means that the plan of the spies to cooperate with the outside has failed.

Then the withdrawal of troops must be brought forward and unexpected. Therefore, Dai Shan reorganized the army overnight, and hurriedly went north with the main force of the army at dawn, leaving only 20,000 Han troops to stay to block the Ming army in Shanhaiguan and prevent them from going out of the city to pursue. On the other hand, it also served as a response force to the northward exit of Sakha.

Before leaving, Dai Shan ordered the scouts to enter the pass from the Yiyuan Pass and ordered Sakha to withdraw from the Great Wall, and led the 20,000 Han troops he left behind, and in any case, he had to block the Ming army in Shanhaiguan in the pass. At the same time, he repaired another book and went to Fengtian......

However, Dai Shan did not intend to go away in disgrace, and along the way, the Ming army completely destroyed the forts that had been repaired all over the country, and everything that could be burned was set on fire, and those that could not be burned were destroyed by Hongyi cannons.

In this way, all the way to destruction, he wanted to completely turn the Ningjin defense line in the western Liaoning Corridor into a ruin, so that the hard work of the Ming Dynasty for many years was completely destroyed, and it was a dream to restore the old view in three years and five years.

At the same time, Dai Shan also has a plan, and the target is Jinzhou City, which is blocking his way back to his teacher.

……

Daming Jingshi, Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, just got up in the morning and felt that his right eyelid jumped straight, as the saying goes, the left eye jumps blessed, and the right eye jumps bad. The right eye jumped endlessly, which was definitely not a good sign, and several important ministers at the small court meeting chattered that he didn't pay attention to it at all, just thinking that nothing bad would happen today.

Since several important ministers of the cabinet were sent out one after another, Zhu Youzhen added a few more people to the cabinet. Among them are Chen Xinjia, the newly promoted secretary of the military department, and Liu Zeshen, who replaced Liu Juesi as the secretary of the criminal department.

Among the two, Zhu Youzhen is especially fond of Chen Xinjia, and he has won his heart several times. In particular, the judgment on the current situation is reasonable and well-founded, and it is very eye-catching.

For example, the thieves raging in Henan, Sichuan and Shaanxi attacked the Manchus at the same time, and in the face of such a dilemma, Chen Xinjia bluntly said that it was not appropriate to fight to the death with the Manchus at this time, but could make limited concessions, and then gather elite soldiers and strong generals to suppress the thieves with all their might, and wait for the situation in the Central Plains to stabilize, even if the Tartars attack again, it is easy to deal with it calmly.

This is the first time among the ministers that someone has put forward the priority strategy so clearly, and there are no lack of highlights in the details of the construction, which makes Zhu Youzhen appreciate it very much.

At present, the important ministers are discussing the way to deal with the situation in Shanhaiguan, and the edict to the king of the soldiers and horses has been issued, and Chen Xinjia is opposed to this. He believes that the Tartars will not go too far into the pass, and it is enough to rely on the soldiers of the Beijing division to protect themselves, and the road from Liaodong to Shanhaiguan is long, and it is not easy to transfer grain, and with the passage of time, the grain and grass of the Qing soldiers will inevitably be difficult to continue, and they will have no choice but to withdraw their troops at that time.

But having said that, no one can afford this responsibility, and Zhu Youzhen does not dare to do so. So Ming issued an edict, the so-called edict to the king of soldiers and horses in the world, the main force of which is nothing more than the army of thieves controlled by Yang Sichang in Henan. Originally, the suppression of thieves had been effective, but with the edict of King Qin, no matter what was big, it had to be put aside, so the situation in Henan became chaotic again.

At this time, several cabinet ministers were arguing about the 800-mile express that after Yang Sichang raised troops to the north, the situation in Henan was further eroded.

Chen Xinjia blamed Zhang Sizhi for not advocating the transfer of Yang Sichang to Beijing, but should have kept him in Henan, otherwise the situation in Henan would not be like this.

Zhang Sizhi blew his beard and glared, not wanting to let it go at all.

"Yang Sichang is gone, but it is a place of erosion in Henan, if he doesn't come to the erosion, it will be the Beijing Division, don't forget that the emperor lives in the Beijing Division, and I am shocked that the emperor, which of you can afford this responsibility?"

When it comes to the word responsibility, Zhang Sizhi's voice is extremely sharp, which makes people have a hysterical illusion.

As soon as this statement comes out, who dares to take it? Could it be said that the emperor should take risks? Chen Xinjia was silent. In fact, how he didn't understand Zhang Sizhi's thoughts, it was nothing more than planning to let Yang Sichang make up for his merits in Henan, and now that he was good, Yang Bing went north to Henan and the situation was erosive, and it was naturally impossible to talk about merit, but Liaoxi's faults were still on his back, and when the war ended in the future, he would inevitably be punished, so the biggest obstacle to Zhang Sizhi's promotion to the head of the cabinet would be removed.

But how could these heart-wrenching words be said in front of the emperor in this Wenhua Palace, and he could only sulk alone.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a happy event, a great event!"

Outside the hall, there was a sudden rush and excited shout, the voice was sharp, it sounded like a eunuch, someone came into the hall through the back door, and handed over a document in his hand to the little eunuch who was waiting for Zhu Youzhen in the palace.

The little eunuch didn't dare to slack off, and quickly forwarded it to Zhu Youzhen. This great happy event startled Zhu Youjian, thinking that there was bad news again, but listening to what the eunuch said was a happy event, he unfolded the suspicious Chinese book.

Zhu Youzhen looked at it several times before putting down the paperwork in his hand, his face was changing, and his chest was undulating. In the end, I called three times in a row!

This frightened the important ministers, and said in his heart what was wrong with the emperor, but he had never seen the emperor so excited.

After a while, Zhu Youzhen raised the document in his hand and said to the important ministers: "Do you know what news is here?" ”

"I don't know!"

This time, the important ministers spoke in unison, and they were very neat.

"No wonder my right eyelid jumped all the way this morning, it turned out to be all the opposite! Sue you, Shanhaiguan has won a great victory, and Dongyu has withdrawn its troops! ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was like a boulder entering the water, stirring up a thousand waves.

Zhu Youzhen asked the ministers to be quiet, because he had not finished his words.

"There is also good news, the governor Hong Chengchou and the governor of Ningyuan, Sun Jiao, are not dead, they are both leading the army outside Shanhaiguan at the moment to deal with the Eastern Captives. Moreover......" Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Moreover, my general Li Xin has also arrived in Liaoxi, and he is in Jinzhou City at this moment!" ”

The ministers felt that it was difficult to accept this fact for a while, Hong Chengchou and Sun Ji were both killed in the siege of thousands of troops, and now they are not dead, which is really incredible. What's even more unbelievable is that Li Xin actually went to Liaoxi and occupied Jinzhou, so isn't the Tartar inside and outside Shanhaiguan cut off?
