"Elder Wen Ge, I have to thank you for this money!" Cao Huachun smiled and bowed his hand to Wen Tiren.

"This is all a matter of duty, and the inner supervisor does not have to be polite."

"In the future, the elder of the pavilion will be sent, and I will do my best to protect my filial piety." Thinking of the 100,000 taels of silver approved by Zhou Yanru, Cao Huachun's old face was as happy as a blooming chrysanthemum.

"What did the inner prison say a few days ago, Wu Sangui ......! Where is he now? ”

"Wu Sangui is now temporarily living on Peach Blossom Island, and I have already told him your advice. He is also willing to serve the old man! As long as the elder of the pavilion gives an order, he will bring people to Jinling to prepare a new type of gunpowder for our army. ”

"Hmmm! So very good, although the old man has the intention to kill the thief. However, Zhou Shoufu acted too much! Fortunately, the internal supervisor has a general knowledge, and the official who came to Japan on a good job will be grateful. ”

"Thank you, Elder Ge!"

Cao Huachun saluted Wen Tiren, and the two were now in the same boat. The only person who stood in the way of their control of the supreme power was the man named Zhou Yanru. For Cao Huachun, Zhou Yanru is a difficult person to deal with. Because Zhou Yanru regarded eunuchs as having only one identity - a minion.

Even for a successful person like Cao Huachun, he is often reprimanded and even scolded.

The best way to deal with someone who doesn't listen is to kill him.

"Then let Yu Yi also go to Peach Blossom Island, and let them test each other's success."

"No! The old slave will do it! Cao Huachun bowed to Wen Tiren and retreated.

"Shi Kefa has pacified Guanzhong, but it will take half a month for his army to withdraw to the Henan defense line at the earliest. I want to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Scofa's department to have a battle. Strive to attract all the living forces of the Nanjing Forbidden Army to the area around Xu Beng. Li Xiao held a long wooden stick in his hand and pointed to the huge sand table and said.

Everyone's eyes are on the sand table, Xuzhou was known as Pengcheng in ancient times. During the reign of Emperor Yao, Peng Zu built the Great Peng Kingdom, which was the earliest city in Jiangsu. Xuzhou is one of the nine states in China in history, and has been the key to the north, the gateway to the south, the place where soldiers must fight and the center of businessmen since ancient times, and has always been the political, economic and cultural center of the Huaihai region.

Back then, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had a battle in Pengcheng, which could be described as a shocking ghost and god. It is reliable that more than 100,000 battles were fought around Xuzhou alone. Not to mention, there are even hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people involved in large-scale battles!

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Xuzhou will get the Central Plains, if Li Xiao takes the initiative to attack Xuzhou. It will definitely attract the Shi Kefa Department from Guanzhong to the Central Plains!

"If Xuzhou is lost, the Nanjing Forbidden Army will have no danger to defend in Jiangbei. The Yangtze River is long, not to mention that the Nanjing Forbidden Army is now only twelve divisions. Even if there are twenty divisions, it is in vain. Yuan Chonghuan looked at the sand table and pointed out the importance of Xuzhou City.

"Although Shi Kefa didn't fight any bad battles in Guanzhong, he was exhausted from chasing Dorgon. In the end, Dolgon fled to the Western Regions with thousands of cavalry. At this time, Shi Kefa's soldiers were exhausted. attracted him from Guanzhong to Xuzhou, not to mention that he could kill him in a hurry. ”

"Hmmm! In this battle, our first division took the lead. When Ao Ye heard that there was a battle, he immediately smiled. After resting and recuperating in Liaodong, the 1st Division has now replenished its troops. And it's also a soldier of Liaodong!

These people have already undergone the most basic military training in the village on weekdays, and only a little training is required when they arrive at the ranks. Now, these soldiers are left with only one bloody battle. Only by going to the battlefield can you be considered a qualified soldier. Provided that you don't get killed.

"Liaodong is the best place for us to operate, and the local garrison has been able to take on the task of maintaining law and order. Now there is no problem in transferring Ao Ye's first division out. Yuan Chonghuan helped the old brother speak.

"I'm ready, this time all four of us are on board. The defense of various places was handed over to the garrison. Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Yang Sichang Yang. In terms of official position, he is older than all of us. But this time, Mr. Yang was willing to deign to take on the defense of Jinan. As for the defense of the capital, it was commanded by Sun Lao.

In addition, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming will also be transferred out of Shandong to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou together. In the whole of Shandong, only the first cavalry division of Man Ye was left to defend. After Li Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the generals present.

Everyone's eyes began to heat up, and the four divisions came out together. also carries miscellaneous Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde. This is a big fight, and it will be a decisive battle between the Liao army and the Southern Ming Dynasty.

There is only the helplessness on Man Gui's face, he likes war. Now in such a large-scale battle of Xuzhou, there is no ...... for him!

The most important military merit in the Liao army, whether it is a promotion or a salary, it is all based on military merit. Now that there is such a large-scale battle to be fought, everyone is naturally very excited, and no one wants to miss this big war.

"Give me three months, and I can do a good job in Shandong's defense, and then the 1st Cavalry Division can quickly rush to the Xuzhou battlefield." Yang Sichang, who had just participated, suddenly spoke.

"Shandong has just distributed land to the peasants, and at this time the army needs to suppress ......!" Sun Chuanting looked at the newcomer Yang Sichang with some surprise.

"After three months, I can pull out a team. It is guaranteed to undertake the defense of the entire Shandong! Yang Sichang looked arrogant, as if he was still the secretary of the military department of the Chongzhen Dynasty. And not new faces!

"Yang Bingbei! Do you know what the consequences of your proposal will be? Sun Chengzong asked with a calm face.

Just came to rob Baisun Chuanting, and the big dog still has to look at the owner. Sun Chengzong naturally didn't have a good face, and when he talked to Yang Sichang, he specially said the three words Yang Bingbei. Remind Yang Sichang that he is nothing more than a Shandong soldier. To put it bluntly, it is just a ragtag force to maintain social order.

"Yang is willing to make a military order!" In the face of a super fierce man like Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang is still fearless.

"Good!" Sun Chengzong sneered, and he wanted Yang Sichang to make a military order.

"The 1st Cavalry Division will stay in Shandong for the time being until Yang Bingbei can maintain law and order in Shandong. 3,000 war horses were newly brought in from the Mongolian Qiyan Department, and all of them were allocated to your Shandong garrison. Shandong is a big place, and you can't support it without cavalry. Li Xiao snatched Sun Chengzong's words.

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Yang Sichang to be reused like this.

Sun Chengzong also looked at Li Xiao suspiciously, this was the first time that Li Xiao had acted so arbitrarily.

The atmosphere in the conference room fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone smoked cigarettes.

"Ahem! From Shandong out of Xuzhou, if successful, you can go south to continue the attack on Bengbu Suqian. If we can really inflict a heavy blow on the Nanjing forbidden army in Xuzhou, our Liao army can drink the Yangtze River. At that time, there will be no cavalry pursuit, and it is really possible that Shi Kefa will run away. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Mao Wenlong snuffed out the cigarette butt and brought the topic back to the Battle of Xuzhou.

"This time, let's strive to completely annihilate the main force of the Nanjing Forbidden Army in Xuzhou. In this way, the foundation for future operations to cross the river will be laid. Li Xiao looked at everyone present.

Fight across the river! Another thunderbolt of news, that is. Li Xiao was ready to use the existing Liao army to attack the imperial court in Jinling. Could it be that this is to take over the world?

"If the main force of the Nanjing Forbidden Army is annihilated in Xuzhou, with the existing forces and weapons of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it will definitely not be able to stop our army from crossing the river and attacking Jinling. When the time comes, the Nanming regime will have no other good way to go except to relocate.

As long as we keep chasing them, we will be able to unify the whole country. As if he didn't see the embarrassment just now, Yang Sichang spoke again.

"Huh! The Nanjing Forbidden Army is all muddy? Don't forget, they are also all-firearms troops. Moreover, in the Battle of Guanzhong, they captured a lot of weapons and equipment in Houjin. It is simply impossible to achieve a complete victory in the annihilation of the enemy at a very small cost of casualties, as was the case before. The so-called killing a thousand enemies and self-damage eight hundred, I don't understand this truth, and I still have a book in the Ministry of War! As soon as Yang Sichang's words were finished, Sun Chuanting roared back.

"What if I say that I will be able to completely annihilate the Nanjing Forbidden Army under the city of Xuzhou?" Yang Sichang looked at Sun Chuanting provocatively.

"I'm ......!"

"That's it!" Li Xiao stopped Sun Chuanting, who was about to go crazy.

"I think Mr. Yang is right, our naval army also has an advantage. As long as you drink the Yangtze River, there is not much difficulty in crossing the river. Li Xiao can be regarded as openly supporting Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting looked at Li Xiao in embarrassment. If you want to talk back, look at the teacher Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong shook his head, and Sun Chuanting could only sit down angrily.

"Then it's decided, Ao Ye, your team must enter Shandong as soon as possible. Yuan Chonghuan's second division and Zu Dashou's fourth division also entered Shandong. Lu Xiangsheng has built the roads in Shandong well, and you can quickly maneuver to Zaozhuang. Look for the opportunity to attack Xuzhou! ”

"No!" Li Xiao gave an order, and all the generals agreed in unison. A large-scale battle of Xuzhou is about to kick off.

After the meeting ended, Sun Chuanting stared at Yang Sichang, who was talking to Li Xiao, and turned his head and left.

Sun Chengzong also looked at the two of them and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"Teacher! This lord treats people unfairly, and he said that I will go to Jinan to prepare for the army. Why is there another Yang Sichang now? What kind of green onion is he, in the military department, he has never seen any benefits for the marshal. I haven't seen him do things for Dashuai, why does Dashuai trust him so much. Give him the Shandong military equipment directly!

He was also ashamed to say that he would run Shandong in three months, and Shandong was such a big place. With a population of more than 20 million, how can it be done in such a short time? If there is really anything wrong in Shandong, this is a responsibility that he Yang Sichang can afford? Dashuai, what's wrong? Sun Chuanting ran to Sun Chengzong's study and said angrily.

"Don't go around like a donkey. It makes the old man dizzy! Sun Chengzong stopped Sun Chuanting, who was going back and forth.

"Teacher......!" Although Sun Chuanting was unwilling, he still sat down impatiently.

"Cultivation! When you get to your position, you have to be self-contained. Yang Sichang once served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and there were many protégés and former officials. There are people under him, and it is not difficult to pull up a team in Shandong in a short period of time. The handsome has the consideration of the handsome, what are you like this? Sun Chengzong's voice was a little angry.

Hearing the noise coming from inside the study, the servants consciously moved away from the study. Only the deaf man sweeping the floor in the yard is still sweeping the fallen leaves in the autumn with a broom.

The steward saw that the deaf man was a little close to the window of the study, and hurriedly pulled the deaf man out of the courtyard.

"The old men are deliberating, don't get so close." Pulling out of the courtyard, the steward spoke to the deaf man with some annoyance.

"Huh?" The deaf man let out a puzzled "ah", and put one hand on his ear, trying to hear what the steward was saying.

"Hey......! Even with your ears, you can't hear thunder. Forget it, even if Lao Tzu worries about it in vain. Sweep that place clean! The steward pointed to a place helplessly, and then guarded the gate of the courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter.

The deaf man looked at the steward suspiciously, and then took the broom and swept it up again.

After about half an hour, Sun Chuanting came out of the courtyard angrily. He didn't need to be in charge to lead the way, he walked straight to the gate of the house, got into the carriage and drove away.

The next day, news came out from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry that Sun Chuanting, who was in charge of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, was sick at home. The affairs of the Ministry of Industry were all thrown to the disposal of the two squires. Sun Chuanting is a big man in the capital, and Sun Chengzong, the first assistant, is his teacher. This kind of big man is sick, and naturally some people want to stutter.

So there was an endless stream of people visiting the house, but strangely, no one saw Sun Shangshu. After talking, all the people were told that Sun Chuanting was suffering from an emergency, and he didn't want to give his colleagues his illness to his colleagues, and hoped to forgive him. After recovering from the disease, he must come to the door to thank Yunyun.

As soon as the people who visited were said so, no one insisted anymore, and they all went home.

Beijing Zuojiazhuang people's field!

It was still the cellar where Cao Huachun and Wu Sangui met, and the two of them sat secretly opposite each other under the dim oil lamp.

Sun Chuanting had a conflict with Yang Sichang, and Li Xiao sided with Yang Sichang. Sun Chuanting complained to his teacher Sun Chengzong, but was reprimanded by Sun Chengzong. The old man knows so much, if you want to rebel against him and defect to the court, now should be a good time. The flickering shadow of the candle reflected on an old face full of wrinkles.

The owner of the old face is the deaf uncle, and at this time his eyes are no longer cloudy, but clear. The sharp eyes are as terrifying as those of a falcon. No one would have imagined that a deaf uncle, who had been walking all day long, would have such sharp eyes.

"Let's wait and see!"

"If you wait for a long time, I'm afraid you'll miss the opportunity."

"You mean ......!"

"...... as soon as possible!"
