Chapter 107: The Change of Self (4)

On the 28th, Shanhaiguan, Jiliao Governor's Mansion.

At the moment, the huge living room is overcrowded, and although it is winter, the temperature in the living room is extremely high. Especially in this part of the Tohoku, winter comes earlier and is colder than elsewhere.

Yuan Chonghuan sat upright, his velvet armor, especially the armor on his chest, was shiny and dazzling, setting off his momentum to the peak. Elegant, but also mighty.

The people sitting on both sides are all the generals in the Ning Jin area, and all of them are Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate generals, who can be called henchmen. As for the people who stand in the rear on both sides, the most inferior is also the rank of general.

After a short silence, Yuan Chonghuan looked around and looked at the people sitting on both sides one by one, his expression was calm and calm, and he said slowly: "Soldiers, you must all know that Huang Taiji can't pass from our Shanhaiguan and can't break the Ningjin defense line, so he will make a detour to Mongolia and attack Guanzhong from the Zunhua area. ”

After a slight pause, his tone became a little heavier: "In just two days, I received the news that the three passes of Hongshankou, Longjing Pass and Da'ankou had fallen. Not only that, the garrisons of Malan Battalion, Malankou and Shimenzhai were also attacked by the Eight Banners Army, and Zunhua and Santun Battalion were also in a hurry and asked us for help. ”

At this time, as soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words fell, He Kegang, one of the three generals under him, immediately stood up and said loudly: "Dashuai, then what are we waiting for?" Hurry up and send troops to support Zunhua. Once Zunhua is lost, the Ningjin defense line can be endangered to the east, and to the southwest, the capital is in danger~! ”

For the first few sentences, everyone's reaction was still very flat, and they were quite confident in Ning Jin's defense line. However, as soon as they heard the latter words, most of them became anxious.

Especially those soldiers who were transferred from the Beijing Division, they clearly knew that the Beijing Division had experienced war for many years, and the troops defending the Beijing Division had not fought for many years. There are even soldiers who don't know how to use guns and cannons at all.

In such a situation, once the army of the Later Jin Dynasty attacked Beijing, how could they expect those garrison troops to defend the capital and protect the emperor's thoughtfulness?

As soon as they thought of this, everyone was secretly frightened, their backs were cold, and dense sweat appeared on their foreheads.

However, Yuan Chonghuan was still as motionless as a mountain, and he didn't seem to be worried about the safety of the capital, but instead had a powerful momentum blooming on his body, and he changed his words and shouted: "Zhao Shujiao, give you four thousand iron horses, go to Zunhua immediately, and arrive within three days, block Houjin's offensive, keep Zunhua, and win more time for the follow-up support troops." ”

Hearing this, except for Zhao Shujiao's happy agreement, everyone else was secretly frightened and made waves again.

"What do you want to do? Zunhua is the northeast gateway of Jizhou, once lost, Jizhou is in danger, followed by Tongzhou and Jingshi. According to the preliminary information obtained, Houjin is claiming to have 100,000 troops this time, although there are not so many and there are exaggerated elements, but what can 4,000 cavalry do? No matter how Zhao Shujiao can fight well, the four thousand cavalry can't stop the iron hooves of the Eight Banners Army! ”

Although I thought this in my heart, no one said it. Even if the person concerned, Zhao Shujiao, knows this truth well, he doesn't have any words, and his face is still angular, revealing the resolute strength of a soldier.

After receiving the response of the deputy general Zhao Shujiao, Yuan Chonghuan didn't pay attention to the reactions of the others, let alone what they thought, and turned his eyes to the people who were sitting on the left and right sides respectively, and said loudly: "Zu Dashou, He Kegang, after Zhao Shujiao left, after the marshal arranged the affairs of Shanhaiguan, he would also lead troops to support Zunhua." As for the two of you, explain the affairs of Jinzhou and Ningyuan as soon as possible and hand it over to the credible generals. Be ready at any time, listen to the commander's orders, and enter the customs to block the Houjin army. ”

"Yes, handsome!

Zu Dashou also stood up and responded in unison with He Kegang.

At this time, together with Zhao Shujiao, most people's expressions were obviously relaxed, as long as the marshal led the troops, he would definitely be able to resolve Zunhua's fear, and the hidden worries of the Jingshi would not exist.

Everyone else sat down indignantly, but Zu Dashou still stood there upright. Born in a famous family in Liaodong, the generals under him are even the children of relatives, and they have absolute control over the troops. For Zu Dashou, he only obeyed Yuan Chonghuan, and did not take Chongzhen, the emperor, in his eyes at all, and his words did not want others to be so respectful.

After everyone sat down, Zu Dashou raised his two thick eyebrows, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Dashuai, the last general really doesn't understand, what does the emperor think?" You have written two letters, playing to the emperor, and it is clear that the defense of the Great Wall in the Zunhua area is very weak, and the enemy is easy to break. ”

"This is good, the two movements are like mud cows entering the sea, there is no news, and there is no sign of the imperial court to strengthen the troops of the various passes of the Great Wall in the Zunhua area. Well, now it's time to verify our guess, Huang Taiji really took advantage of Mongolia and entered the pass from Zunhua. ”

At this moment, except for Yuan Chonghuan, the hearts of others are no longer described as surprised, but shocked, Zu Dashou is too bold, this is contempt for imperial power, this is questioning the emperor, although the object of questioning is not at the scene.

However, thinking about it, Zu Dashou also said what everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to say, if the emperor could listen to the advice of the handsome, how could there be today's crisis? How could Houjin get into the guanli?

Everyone was silent, and no one responded to Zu Dashou's words. Even those civil officials and military supervisors sent by Emperor Chongzhen, no one dared to ask Zu Dashou, what was his intention?

From a glimpse of the whole picture, this not only shows Yuan Chonghuan's importance to Zu Dashou, but also shows his prestige in Shanhaiguan and even the entire Liaodong, no one can match.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand to stop Zu Dashou from continuing to complain and complain about the emperor's blind command. And the latter was even more obedient, and immediately shut his mouth, not knowing what he muttered, and then sat there honestly.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Chonghuan pondered for a while, as if he was organizing language, or thinking about something, and after a while, he set his eyes on Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Liaodong, and said solemnly: "General Wu Bing, after I and Zu Dashou and He Kegang leave, Shanhaiguan will be handed over to you." Although the vast majority of Houjin's troops were taken away by Huang Taiji, there were still two Baylors of the four major Baylors outside the gate, and Amin was eyeing them all the time. Therefore, you must always be vigilant and guard the Ningjin defense line. ”

Immediately, sitting behind Zu Dashou, one person stood up, it was Wu Xiang, the father of Wu Sangui, who would become famous in the future.

After standing up, Wu Xiang clenched his fists, the armor on his body clanged, and he responded loudly: "Yes, handsome!" If there is a slight mistake in Shanhaiguan, the last general will come to see you! ”

Yuan Chonghuan nodded, he had twelve points of confidence in the Ning Jin defense line, and he was absolutely impregnable, and he couldn't shake it with just a little Amin.

Then, Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand again and said loudly: "Okay, let's all retreat, Ben Shuai still has to arrange the matters after leaving, just talk about it here, after you each go back, you must also prepare well." Once the situation in the customs is critical and takes a sharp turn for the worse, most of you will have to lead troops into the customs and carry out the king. ”

All of a sudden, the people who had just stood up stagnated, and some people's bodies trembled slightly, and their hearts jumped suddenly, turning up the stormy waves, which were very shocking, and they all secretly guessed: "What does this mean?" The battle has not yet been fought, how do you know that Houjin will win? How did you know that the situation would be so critical that all the armies needed to rush to the capital to carry out the king? ”

However, everyone's movements only paused, and they didn't ask more, but left one after another with full thoughts. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
