Shanhaiguan!

Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong in the Ming court, also received the holy decree of Chongzhen to send him troops to King Qin.

To this end, he urgently summoned Gao Di, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Wang Pingfan, the deputy general of Ningyuan, Wu Zhimao, the general of the left army, Gao Dejie, the general of the right army, Hu Guozhu, the deputy general of the rear army, Zhang Guozhu, the deputy general of the Chinese army, and Yang Kun and Xie Sixin, his confidants, to discuss how to deal with the Shandong army's rebellion.

"The military master, the last general thinks that since the imperial court has promised to confer you as Ping Xibo, we might as well send troops to quell the chaos, if Li Shun is defeated, the military master's position in the dynasty is not as stable as Mount Tai."

Zhang Guozhu, the deputy general of the Chinese army, led the first speech, he was originally a native of Tieling, Liaodong, known as brave, and also Wu Sangui's confidant.

"What Vice General Zhang said is that Li Xingzhi's rebellion is a crime, let's fight against the rebellion, even if we can't defeat Li Shun, it is not a problem to defend the Beijing Division."

Gao Dejie, the general of the right army, echoed Zhang Guozhu's opinion, Gao Dejie is also one of the generals of Wu Junxiao, and has always been above the top, this time the Songjin War, Gao Dejie led the department and Dolgon and Duoduo's two white flags were also faced head-on, and the battle losses of the two sides were almost the same, although in the later stage of the campaign, Wu Sangui took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield in order to preserve his strength, but Gao Dejie believed that the combat power of the side was not much behind the Eight Banners Army.

"General Zhang and General Gao only know one of them, but they don't know the other, now our army only has Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan and a few lonely cities in Liaodong, and the strategic room for maneuver is greatly reduced, and there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses left.

Hu Guozhu, the deputy general of the rear army, disagreed with Zhang Guozhu and Gao Dejie's views, now the main force of the Wu army is squeezed by the Qing army in the narrow strip of the first line of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and there are still more than 100,000 Liaodong soldiers in Ningyuan City, and now there is no Jinzhou, Xingshan, and Songshan as a screen domain.

"What General Zhang said is good, what General Hu said is also reasonable, but His Majesty has come to the Holy Decree, if Ben Shuai does not send troops, I'm afraid my father will not be able to explain it, as for Dongyu, Ben Shuai heard that due to the death of Huang Taiji, Dolgon and Hauge are fighting for the throne, and if they don't have a result, they will never use troops against Liaoxi."

Wu Sangui hesitated, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are the few strong cities in the world, especially Shanhaiguan, the city is four and a half zhang high, two zhang and three feet wide, known as the first pass in the world, as long as he leaves thousands of military horses to defend, Dongyu wants to break through, I am afraid that he will not be able to defeat it for a year and a half, but send troops to the king of Qin, he has these 30,000 people left, will he be the opponent of the Shandong army that can annihilate the two red flags in the field? If you fold this bit of belongings into it, it won't be worth it.

"Military master, the Beijing division is the world's heroic city, although the Beijing camp is unbearable, but according to the city's stubborn defense, it is not easy for Li Cheng's military horses to break in, and the students think that we should focus on preserving our strength and watch from the wall."

"But the imperial court has issued a holy decree, and if the commander does not send troops, wouldn't it be a disobedience to the decree?"

Yang Kun is Wu Sangui's confidant, good at figuring out people's hearts, and his words are exactly what Wu Sangui wants.

"Don't worry, the military lord is in a hurry, the imperial court asks you to go on the expedition, you must allocate a certain amount of money and food, besides, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, there is no money and food, how can the soldiers rebel?"

"What Mr. Yang said is that the imperial court can't just rely on a holy decree to let us enter the army, the students think that now is the time for us to sell at a price, we are sandwiched between the Dongyu, the imperial court and the Shandong army, of course, whoever gives the highest price will vote."

Xie Sixin was originally Hong Chengchou's staff, but now Hong Chengchou is surrounded by the East Captives in Songshan, life and death are unpredictable, and he Xie someone naturally wants to vote for the new master.

"Marshal, in this battle of Songjin, our army took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield, so that the whole line of Liaoxi collapsed, it is difficult to ensure that the emperor does not hold a grudge against us, the reason why he does not deal with us is that we are still of some use to the imperial court, Li Xingzhi wants to be appeased, which is not a bad thing for us."

"According to reliable sources, the Dongyu passed through the Shandong army into Liao, but also suffered heavy losses, the current military horses are less than 80,000, the hard-working construction of Shengjing City is also under the control of the Shandong army, and the Shandong army in Liaodong has about 30,000 land divisions, respectively stationed in southern Liaoning and Shenyang, this time Li reversed the army to appease, the mobilization of military horses is also about 40,000, if you add his Shandong left behind soldiers and horses, according to the student estimates I am afraid that there are no less than 80,000, or even about 100,000."

"As for the imperial court, hehe, the main force of the official army was firmly contained by Li Zicheng in the Kaifeng and Luoyang areas, and even pressed and beaten by the peasant army, the military strength of these three forces is about the same, only we have the least soldiers and horses, and there is no stable territory, but we are the key force to control the three forces, the students thought that in a few days, the envoys of the Dongyu and Shandong armies would arrive, and my Guanning army naturally saw who offered the highest price, and then decided how to act."

Yang Kun continued to speak, as Wu Sangui's chief think tank, he naturally knew the strength of the various armies around the Guanning Army and the distribution of military horses.

"It's a good one to be sold at a price, so let's do it, Mr. Yang, you go to see the angel of the court for Ben Shuai, and say that Ben Shuai needs money and grain worth 200,000 taels of silver as the opening fee for this aid."

"Whoa!"

Yang Kun bowed and bowed, and hurriedly walked out of Wu Sangui's festival hall.

"Ningyuan is the barrier of Shanhaiguan, and it is the last fortified city of our army in Liaodong, you must not be lost, General Hu, this commander is stationed in Ningyuan with you and Gao Dejie to command 5,000 troops, and the 2,000 troops of Guo Yunlong, who originally stayed in Ningyuan, are also under your control, if the Dongyu retreats, you can capture the Daling River to stabilize my defense line in western Liaoning."

"Zhang Guozhu, you and Wu Zhimao will first go to rectify the military horses in the pass, since we want to ask the court for money, this gesture must be made!"

"The last general and others must obey the orders of the commander."

The Guan Ning in the festival hall led Zuo Hongsheng's order.

Looking at the attitude of the henchmen in the festival hall, Wu Sangui's eyes glanced at the silent Shanhaiguan general Gao Di, this guy has been a little resistant to himself since he retreated to Shanhaiguan, and now Li Xingzhi is in trouble with his army, is he taking this opportunity to swallow up the six thousand soldiers in his hands, so as to enhance his strength.

As Yang Kun said, his Guanning army is surviving in the gap between the three forces, and naturally the more soldiers, the better.

Tongzhou City!

Lu Cheng, the governor of Tongzhou, looked at Zhang Sizhi, the second assistant of the cabinet in front of him, and said depressedly: "The former Songjin War, Tongzhou's money and grain have been allocated, and now they have to levy grain again, and the lower officials are afraid that the people will have chaos." ”

Lu Chengye's chest jumped when he said these words, for fear that the second assistant would vent his anger with him, he didn't know that the situation was grim now, but he really couldn't take out the silver and food.
