Chapter 1254: Do You Want to Trust the Song People?
For those deserters, of course, Sun Chuanting knew that Lu Dao could not indulge like this, and he also had to send troops to arrest those deserters back and then punish them in public, so as to bring a deterrent effect to others.
It's just that, considering that the Jin army is coming to the city now, he can't do it now.
So, I let go of this thing.
Regarding Sun Chuanting's hardships, Zhao Hongyu can think of it after thinking about it a little.
But it is precisely because he understands Sun Chuanting's hardships that Zhao Hongyu will make such a decision.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu is not without reliance.
What he relied on was strong self-confidence, confident that Jay Chou's 15,000 soldiers and horses plus 10,000 Kyushu soldiers could completely defeat the 30,000 troops dispatched by Houjin, so that they would not be able to reach Jincheng City at all.
Therefore, it is understandable to let Sun Chuanting send troops out of the city to arrest those deserters.
It's just that Sun Chuanting doesn't have the confidence of Zhao Hongyu.
Facing the Houjin army coming towards Jincheng, Sun Chuanting, Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui were all very nervous.
Especially Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui, two people who have been fighting against the Houjin in Liaodong, they have a deep understanding of the Houjin Eight Banners.
It is precisely because of their deep understanding that they become nervous when they hear the news.
The elite of the Houjin Eight Banners is indeed very strong, although they are not invincible as they boast to themselves, but they are indeed more victorious and less defeated in the battle against the Ming army.
And they don't know whether the Song people are strong or not, although they have heard Sun Chuanting say it. But after all, this is what I heard, not what I saw with my own eyes, so I can't believe it too much, no.
To be on the safe side, in this current situation. It's better to be on the safe side.
In this way, the three of them ushered in Zhao Hongyu's order.
When the adjutant who came to convey Zhao Hongyu's order finished conveying Zhao Hongyu's meaning, Sun Chuanting, Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui were all very surprised.
They could not have imagined that at this juncture, they should not have focused on those deserters, why did the crown prince make such a surprising decision.
"His Majesty was supposed to follow His Highness's orders. But now, the Jin army is pressing, and it is about to arrive under Jincheng. So instead of focusing on those deserters, we should think about how to deal with those barbarians who are post-gold. ”
Wu Sangui is still young in the end. Although he is very smart, the city government is still a little bit worse.
But think about it, Wu Sangui was only in his early twenties at this time, and it was far from like a time when he was emerging in history. I've gone through too much of a grind and become very urban.
So. He was the first to speak.
"Your Highness's order is like this, it doesn't matter what you think." , The adjutant's tone made Wu Sangui a little depressed, but he couldn't refute anything about it.
Yes, Zhao Hongyu is here in Jincheng, that is the Emperor of the Earth.
As for the few of them, Yang Fengyi and herself are guilty people, and they don't have any right to speak at all.
If it weren't for Sun Chuanting's understanding of Yehuling's defeat. There are some unknown factors in the Dao of Zhilu, so it is impossible for them to get such nourishment now.
And although Sun Chuanting was a general of the Ming Dynasty. And it was also hand-picked by the emperor.
But here in Jincheng, there is no right to speak.
You must know that before Zhu Shangwu sent Sun Chuanting to follow Zhao Hongyu to Jincheng, he had confessed some words.
Zhu Shangwu told Sun Chuanting that after coming to Jincheng, all affairs big and small had to be handed over to Zhao Hongyu to manage, and he Sun Chuanting was just an ornament who acted according to orders.
Although Sun Chuanting can be regarded as a surveillance existence, Sun Chuanting understands very well that he is actually here to run errands to deal with trouble.
In order to reassure him, the emperor would say anything to let him spy on these Song people.
Not to mention anything else, Zhu Shangwu, the emperor, owes so much silver to others, why should he spy on others.
It's not that he can't take it here in Jincheng, and he is afraid that the mortgage here in Jincheng will cause some trouble, and even some bureaucrats and people in Liaodong will let him come because of the identity of the Song people.
Once the bureaucrats and those ordinary people in Liaodong are looking for trouble, it will definitely be Sun Chuanting's who will come forward.
In other words, in the strict sense, he Sun Chuanting was a person sent by the imperial court in order to ensure the interests of the Song people in the mortgaged land.
His only role here in Jincheng is to ensure that the interests of the Song people are not violated, and at the same time to ensure the face of the imperial court.
On this side, Wu Sangui was blocked for a while, and sat there alone and sullen. Yang Fengyi also opened her mouth here: "Can we wait until the position of Jincheng is resolved, and we are dealing with this matter?" After all, for our Jincheng, the invading Houjin Eight Banners is a serious matter. “
As soon as Yang Fengyi, a handsome middle-aged guy like Andy Lau, opened his mouth, he immediately won the approval of Sun Chuanting, who was silent.
In fact, Sun Chuanting himself also meant this.
Those deserters are actually not a big problem, and at the moment it is the Houjin army that attacks the most important.
If you send people to arrest those deserters, you will inevitably lose a lot of troops.
Now there are only more than 15,000 soldiers and horses here in Jincheng, which is far from enough.
Although His Royal Highness sent more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet the Houjin army, Sun Chuanting and they were not very optimistic.
Therefore, after the Song people were defeated by the Later Jin army, Jincheng would definitely fall into the encirclement of the Later Jin army.
At that time, the number of troops here in Jincheng is particularly important.
After all, there is always some benefit to having more soldiers and horses when defending the city, isn't it?
Therefore, Sun Chuanting really didn't want to divide the soldiers and horses that he didn't have a lot of hands to arrest those deserters.
The adjutant who came to convey Zhao Hongyu's order looked at Yang Fengyi, then at Sun Chuanting, and then with a smile on his face.
"Lord Yang is not wrong in what he said. I think you're planning to leave a little more troops at hand, and you can also deal with the trouble of the siege of Jin when the time comes. ”
The adjutant is not a fool either, and he can more or less guess the thoughts of the three people in front of him.
After being pointed out what was in my mind. Sun Chuanting spoke.
"Yes, that's what we thought."
The adjutant continued to smile and said, "It doesn't matter if Lord Yang has such thoughts, after all, he doesn't know the power of our Imperial Army. But Lord Sun, you shouldn't, you've seen the battle of Jingshi. ”
The adjutant who came to convey Zhao Hongyu's order mentioned the battle of Jingshi a few months ago at this time.
However, when the adjutant talked about the battle, Sun Chuanting's face really changed a lot.
Damn it. How did I forget how powerful these Song people were?
Their tactics are sharp, their firecrackers are also very powerful, and they also have the kind of powerful artillery that can be used.
Want. This highness let him deal with the deserters immediately, and he must have the confidence to defeat this invading Jin army.
At the same time, it was also determined that it was impossible for the other party to reach Jincheng City.
I didn't think of it.
It's not that His Highness himself has never dealt with him, and at first glance he is not the kind of unreliable fool.
Since he has such an order, it is obvious that he must have his own considerations.
At the beginning, the capital division fought a war. The combat power of the Song Imperial Army. He had seen it with his own eyes.
Therefore, for the strength of the imperial army, it can be said that Sun Chuanting also has a little bit of shallow insight.
At least, the elite of the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji, who was fought by the Imperial Army at the beginning, could not even do a slightly more reliable counterattack, and was completely suppressed and beaten until it was defeated.
was reminded of Sun Chuanting, who remembered the first battle of the Beijing Division, and inevitably remembered the strong combat effectiveness of the fierce Song Imperial Army.
"Compared with the three adults, General Jay Chou has already led 15,000 imperial troops out of the city to meet the enemy. At the same time, there were 10,000 Kyushu soldiers outside to block the Houjin army. After this battle, it was impossible for the Jin barbarians to please Lu, and it was impossible for them to reach the city of Jincheng. “
The adjutant was very confident in this.
Wu Sangui wanted to speak again. But as soon as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Yang Fengyi.
Therefore, Wu Sangui could only swallow his words sullenly.
"Okay, the subordinate will take the order." , Sun Chuanting nodded after the most reluctance.
Since Sun Chuanting nodded with the scriptures, there was no need for the adjutant to continue to stay, so the adjutant retreated.
When the adjutant left, only Sun Chuanting, Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui were left in the room.
Anyway, there are no outsiders now, and all the generals present are the generals of the Ming Dynasty, so Wu Sangui couldn't bear to open his mouth and said to the two: "Houjin Baqi is not a soft persimmon, although they are playing with it." With just 25,000 soldiers and horses, do you want to win the 30,000 Houjin elite? ”
In fact, Wu Sangui's words are not wrong, but his thinking is still stuck in the concept of the battle between Daming and Houjin in the past.
What is the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, more than 100,000 people will not be able to win against 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Wu Sangui has such words.
However, can the army of the Song Empire be the same as the Ming army?
This is something that Wu Sangui did not expect.
However, after all, he had never seen the strength of the Song Empire's army, so he couldn't blame Wu Sangui for having such worries.
As soon as Wu Sangui's voice fell, Yang Fengyi nodded and continued: "Sangui's words are not unreasonable, the Houjin army is obviously from Jincheng. According to past experience, if we want to defend the city, we must have at least 30,000 talents. But at the moment, there are only 15,000 soldiers here in Jincheng, which is obviously not enough. ”
In Yang Fengyi's words, the fifteen thousand imperial troops who had already left the city at all, and the ten thousand Kyushu soldiers did not exist.
In his mind, the 25,000 soldiers and horses were destined to be defeated by Houjin.
"No, I don't think the same way as you. I remembered the battle of the Jingshi a few months ago, and the Song people might not be able to be defeated by the Houjin. ”
Because he remembered the stop of Jingshi at the beginning, Sun Chuanting's attitude at this time has changed greatly.
"Tell me to go down, and immediately mobilize troops and horses to arrest those deserters."
Sun Chuanting decided to trust the Song people once, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if the Song people were really that powerful, not because of good luck.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the original Wazitun northeast of Jincheng, Governor Kobayashi and the 10,000 Kyushu soldiers who had been gathered set up in formation, waiting for the arrival of the Houjin army.
At this time, the 30,000 Houjin army was still fifteen miles away from Governor Kobayashi...... (To be continued......)
