Chongzhen put his arm around Wu Sangui's burly shoulders, walked in the direction of Dalinghe Fort, and said as he walked: "Okay, okay, we two brothers, we are blessed and enjoy hardships together, it's a big deal that I take the overpass and you take the underpass......"

"You like to walk on the dry road......" Wu Sangui blurted out, but suddenly stopped.

Chongzhen understood in seconds, and looked up to the sky and laughed. Wu Sangui's face was a lot rougher, he shrugged his shoulders and shrunk his head, and smiled, smiling like a stealing thief cat.

The voice was far away, scattered with the wind on the bank of the Daling River, and was taken into Yuan Chonghuan's ears, looking at the young and strong backs of the two of them doing casually, thinking that even if he worked hard to stand up, he was still slightly insufficient, and sighed lightly: "It's good to be young." ”

"Young Master......" Yuan Fu, who was full of gray hair, walked up with his war horse and called softly.

These two words suddenly made Yuan Chonghuan's whole body full of strength again, and he stepped onto the war horse without the caress of the old servant, showing his diligent and vigorous skills like a young man, and pointed forward and said, "Let's go, go to the castle and have a look." ”

"No." Yuan Fu and Yuan Da, Yuan Er, Yuan Qi, Yuan Ba and other people of the Yuan family agreed with a bang.

After two years of absence, the acres of land outside Dalinghe Fort have been tilted, and they have been taken care of in an extra orderly manner under the leadership of Ji Yong. However, inside the river fort, it is no different from when Chongzhen left.

What Chongzhen felt from it was not a lot of progress, but rather the happiness of contentment.

"Not long after the Guanning Army became an army, it was tempered by the war in the Battle of Ningyuan, and it reached its peak through the Battle of Ningjin, which was generally recognized by the Ming Dynasty. However, after this battle, he still began to be content and began to be complacent. ”

"Liaoxi Jiangmen, Liaoxi Jiangmen. Perhaps the original intention of the Zu family, the Wu family and other Liaoxi generals to support Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning was that they were afraid that the last piece of paradise that could run rampant would be deprived of it. ”

"The ambition of the Jiangmen in western Liaoning is not the entire eastern part of Liaodong, but ends in the plains of western Liaoning. This is the source of the Guanning Army's lack of progress in the eighteen years after the Battle of Ningjin, and I have worked tirelessly for it, but I am still unable to completely change it. ”

Chongzhen found that there was a little Chongzhen living in his heart, and he was looking up to the sky, and at the same time he was secretly glad.

"If you hadn't taken advantage of the heat of the Battle of Ningjin, cooperated with Yuan Gong to quench gold with the flames of war, and took advantage of your strengths to launch the Dengliao Campaign, which won a complete victory. This situation and mentality are bound to become even more serious. Now, fortunately, Yuan Gong is whipped from the side. ”

"Sometimes a man, if he is a donkey, raises his whip before he is willing to grind."

Thinking of these quickly, Chongzhen glanced at Wu Sangui meaningfully.

Wu Sangui's careful thinking became more and more keen, and he actually detected his dissatisfaction from Chongzhen's eyes.

To be honest, he also felt guilty about this, after all, Dalinghe Fort could be said to have been built by Chongzhen with him, and held on to the surprise attack of Jiannu Belezirharang, but in the end it was completely entrusted to him.

In recent years, it's not that he doesn't want to move forward, but whether it is the ancestral family or the elders in his own family, they have added endless pressure to themselves, and even Zu Dashou has the intention of setting the family's focus on Jinzhou.

Besides, further ahead is a horse Pingchuan, unless a decisive victory is achieved in the field frontal steel with the Jiannu cavalry, it is impossible to advance step by step like the Liaoxi Corridor, like a lying silkworm.

Wu Sangui has a lot to say about his understanding of the Jiannu army.

In the general direction, it is slightly inferior to Chongzhen.

He knew very well that not only did the Jiannu cavalry come and go like the wind, but the cavalry and archery were better than the Mongolian cavalry of that year.

Due to their fishing and hunting characteristics, their infantry was not only fierce but also quite strong and cruel.

"That's the terrible thing about Jiannu! Our Guanning Iron Cavalry can indeed rely on firearms, crossbows and other comprehensive armaments, even in the plains and mountains, it can also be matched with it. If the terrain is strong, you can also give full play to the advantages of firearms that have improved a lot to ambush and gain an advantage. However, the foot pawn can only rely on the fortress ......"

Wu Sangui sighed slightly, and then said with a sneer: "We will soon march to Xiping Fort, and when we occupy the long-abandoned fortress, we will spend our efforts to build it well, and vow to include the entire Liaoxi Plain." ”

"It is worthy of Wu Sangui. Yes, my Guanning army is about to regain Xiping Fort. Yuan Chonghuan heard the taste of ambition in his tone, and it happened to be in line with his strategy of marching into Xiping Fort, so he nodded in agreement.

Chongzhen only heard Wu Sangui's complacent and proud, so he sighed lightly: "In the entire Liaoxi General, the one I have the most high hopes for is you Wu Sangui." Now I can't imagine that even you only want to take the Liaoxi Plain into your pocket? You must know that since the Jiannu sneak attack on Fushun, it has occupied the entire Liaodong and the entire black land. ”

This is obviously talking about Wu Sangui, but in fact, it is also said to Yuan Chonghuan.

It was the first time that he was scolded by this "marker" who had always respected him, so his face was a little dark. Fortunately, Chongzhen's emphasis was on the Liaoxi generals, not the entire Guanning army, which made him feel relieved.

Wu Sangui remembered the oath of many hot-blooded teenagers in the Jiangnan Inn in Jingshi in the past, his rough face was slightly red due to lack of maintenance, and he rubbed his hands and repeated the oath of the year: "Where can it? A certain Wu Sangui will resist Jiannu and behead the slave chieftain as his life's ambition, and a good man is determined in all directions, how can he stop at this corner of Liaoxi? ”

Chongzhen nodded with a smile on his face and said, "It's best if you think like this, Sangui, you have to remember that you don't forget your original intention." ”

Wu Sangui's most annoying and fearful thing was his preaching, and he was busy saying: "There are counts, there are counts." ”

Chongzhen is helpless, only he knows whether he is "counted" or not.

Yuan Chonghuan said with a calm face: "What you said does not seem to conflict with the recovery of Xiping Fort. ”

Chongzhen faced him and said seriously: "It's true that there is no conflict, but Xiping Fort is too far away." ”

"So you don't approve of Ben Shuai's march into Xiping Fort?" Yuan Chonghuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Yuan Shuai." Chongzhen's eyes and expressions are still as calm as ever.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't appreciate it, and squinted at him and said, "Are you talking to someone as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, or is it a small soldier in Guanning, Liaodong?" ”

Chongzhen looked up to the sky and laughed, Wu Sangui looked at this guy who had always been low-key and well-behaved in front of the leader, and suddenly realized that the gap between himself and him had already widened, and it was like a world of earth, and it was difficult to shoot.

Wu Sangui sighed weakly and looked at Yuan Chonghuan, waiting for his decision.

In the past two years, he has been somewhat calmer.

Yuan Chonghuan closed his eyes, his face expressionless.

After smiling, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw a clear look.
