Yuan Chonghuan hadn't been to Xiping Fort yet, but he knew that from here to there, there was no danger to defend.

He took a deep breath of cold air again, let the north wind blow his robe into a hunting sound, and said: "My Guanning army has achieved momentum, and the military heart is available, but is it really still impossible to enter Xiping Fort?" ”

Chongzhen sighed: "I have been there a long time ago, and it is too far away from Dalinghe Fort. If a fortress is built and garrisoned there, it is tantamount to going deep alone, and whoever is the general of the garrison will be deeply encircled. ”

"Battle of Dengliao?"

"That's right."

"Since a Dengliao campaign can permanently recover the Liaodong Peninsula, why can't a Xiping campaign be launched to permanently recover Xiping Fort, so that the eastern part of the Liaoxi Plain also has a fortress to follow. At the same time, it can also prepare for the next war, that is, to connect the Liaodong Peninsula and the large areas of Liaonan in western Liaoning, and turn each other into horns. ”

"Fort Xiping will be recovered sooner or later, but we still lack this ability now." Chongzhen tried his best to be as flat and euphemistic as possible, to be honest, he had already considered Yuan Chonghuan's feelings.

If he didn't want this person with a mixed reputation in history to end up on that path that cannot be explained clearly, he would not want to bother to speak.

Chongzhen couldn't help gritting his teeth and secretly said: "Lao Tzu really wants to kill him now!" Success is also Guan Ning, defeat is also Guan Ning, do you really think you have how much you have or not? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was middle-aged but had the stubbornness of a teenager, and said angrily: "Our original dream was just to hold Ningyuan, but after several battles, not only did we establish the Guanning defense line, but also marched to the bank of the Daling River and built the Daling River Fort, and the huge Liaoxi Plain was almost under control, two years ago, who dared to imagine such a situation?" ”

Chongzhen was determined to persuade Yuan Chonghuan for the last time, so he said: "Yuan Shuai is a person who knows the soldiers, and the reason why he knows that Dalinghe Fort was able to repair and successfully repel the attack of Jiannu is because of the support of Jinzhou and Ertun on the left and right, as well as the strong support of all Guanning soldiers, and it is the arm of the Guanning Jin defense line stretching out to the western Liaoning Plain.

However, Xiping Fort is far away in the eastern part of the Liaoxi Plain, except for the lonely fortress, there is no danger to fear, but Jiannu is closer, once Jiannu sends cavalry across the Liao River to plunder and harass, then whether it is the transportation of materials or the transportation of soldiers, it will become a great problem. ”

Yuan Chonghuan knew that what Chongzhen said was very reasonable, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "I have a water master......

Chongzhen interrupted him, "The sea is still a long way from Xiping Fort, and this distance is enough for the cavalry of Jiannu to invade our army's land transportation lines. ”

"I can send troops to escort me, my Guanning Iron Cavalry no longer belongs to the Jurchen White Armored Cavalry!"

Chongzhen said-for-tat: "It's not a sign to grow the ambition of others to destroy their own prestige, the Jurchen white-armored cavalry is one out of ten thousand, if there is no such advantages as terrain and time, the Guanning iron cavalry does not have the ability to face hard steel with it." ”

"I have a sailor marine!"

Chongzhen grinned and said, "What Yuan Shuai said was created by the marines who imitated Yuan Gong, right?" It is true that although Jin Shilin and other Juehua soldiers were born as sailors, their transformation was on the defense of Juehua Island. In fact, at the beginning, Yuan Gong only regarded Zhang Pan, a waterway amphibious general, as a member of the ordinary sergeant.

The concept of the Marine Corps was put forward under the mark. Now the mark also makes it clear that not all navies that can land and operate can be called marines. This is a completely new military concept, which represents a different kind of combat thinking than ever before, and the Marine Corps is not used that way. ”

Yuan Chonghuan clenched his fists, feeling that even his back molars were about to be crushed by himself, staring at Chongzhen's eyes, and said word by word: "Are you saying that Ben Shuai doesn't know how to use soldiers?" ”

Chongzhen looked back at him for a moment, and replied to the question: "Yuan Shuaiding has also heard the old saying that good steel is used on the blade, so he did not hesitate to tell you that the Marine Corps is used for surprise operations?" ”

Valley "Raid Operations? Yuan Chonghuan was suddenly stunned and thoughtful.

"Yes." Shigemasami finally found a point to cut into this stubborn stone, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Yuan Chonghuan well enough to know that if he continued, it would cause him to be alert.

Therefore, instead of continuing this topic, let him digest it himself, understand it, and make up for it.

Yuan Chonghuan, an excellent student among the Ming scholars, is the most able to draw inferences from one case and use the topic to play.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and stared at Chongzhen's eyes again and said, "You want to raid the rear of Jiannu?" ”

Chongzhen grinned and said: "The mark is the same as Yuan Shuai, they are all people who don't play cards according to common sense, why not?" ”

Unexpectedly, when Yuan Chonghuan heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and even though he figured out the truth, he was denying Yuan Chonghuan.

Sure enough, Yuan Chonghuan stared at him coldly and said, "Are you accusing Ben Shuai of not sticking to a corner of Guanning?" Before, you denied that Ben Shuai shouldn't be entangled in the gains and losses of one city and one place, and that's okay. However, the Guanning defense line is the painstaking effort of Sun Shi and Ben Shuai all their lives, resisting the continuous attacks of Jiannu, how can it be said that it is denied and denied? ”

Saying that, Yuan Chonghuan's expression actually became hysterical, and he roared: "Is it the meaning of the imperial court?" ”

Zhong sincerely said: "Yuan Shuai, you misunderstood and marked ......"

Chongzhen's attitude, which had been greatly appreciated by Yuan Chonghuan, made him feel extremely hypocritical at this moment, and said with his sleeves brushed: "You don't have to say anything, Ben Shuai understands everything." The court wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, denying me Yuan Chonghuan. ”

As he spoke, he turned his back and looked into the depths of the plain, which was gradually becoming darker.

Chongzhen also felt that this dusk was like his situation at this time, if he continued to be so stubborn.

This is the first time that Chongzhen feels that human nature is so unpredictable.

"After returning to Beijing, do you want to ask the emperor to remove him from the position of governor of Liaodong? However, the year of Jisi is approaching, and the battle of Jisi is being closely prepared, except for Sun Chengzong, there is no one who understands the situation in Liaodong better than Yuan Chonghuan! Yuan Gong? No! He was too tired, and if the heavy responsibility of the governor of Liaodong was also imposed on him, he would have to be exhausted. The family and the country have never been able to support it alone. ”

Chongzhen is silent, and his mind is spinning.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't hear Chongzhen speak for a long time, perhaps because he felt that what he said just now was too heavy.

Or maybe he felt that Chongzhen was already an upstart in Beijing, and he was lacking someone to speak for himself in the court, so he turned his face sideways and took the initiative but sneered and said, "What? Nothing more to say? ”
