Zhou Xian prepared the order of grain and grass, and Yan Mingtai did not hesitate at all.

Then Zhou Xian said to Sun Chengzong: "Elder Sun Ge, you can now convey the instructions for the transfer of troops from the nine sides in the name of the cabinet Zaifu, so that Hong Chengchou on the front line can prepare for battle, and he can decide the initiative to attack at any time according to the enemy's situation." ”

"Yes!"

Sun Chengzong's face was serious.

He knew that once the commander-in-chief of the front line was granted the initiative, it meant that the war could be fought directly by virtue of the commander-in-chief's unilateral understanding.

Even Jiannu only sent a small number of cavalry to test it.

But the commander on the Ming side felt 'scared' and felt that he was 'threatened', so he could strike first!

"Wait." Seeing that Sun Chengzong was leaving, Zhou Xian called out to him.

"What's the matter with the colt?"

"Sun Gelou, you will issue another military order from Xuanfu, ordering Lu Delin to lead his Jin Wuwei to quickly go north and assemble all of them on the Liaodong defense line."

"Let him be stationed in Liaoyang at any time."

"The old minister will do it here!"

"Han Shu!"

"In!"

"You immediately transferred 300,000 stone grains and grass from the land of Lianghuai in the name of the imperial court and hoarded them in Jinling City. Look at the situation of the battle to be fully prepared. ”

Zhou Xian gave the order in one go.

And the whole body is full of heroic heroism.

Such a demeanor made several military bigwigs present fascinated, and they even felt a sense of inferiority complex.

In fact, Zhou Xian was not afraid of war at all.

War is not a thing that will not come if he is afraid.

If you're not afraid, then fight.

Now Zhou Xian only needs to ensure that Sun Chuanting's supply of grain and grass is sufficient, and then give Sun Chuanting a relatively generous free command of the army.

He believed that Sun Chuanting would definitely be able to nail Li Zicheng's army to the front line of Shaanxi and Henan like nails.

Then he has no worries at all, and he can open the battle with Jiannu in Liaodong for another day.

Although the Ming Dynasty is now empty, Zhou Xian has a way to accumulate wealth.

The defenders of the nine sides were pulled to the front line one by one to let them experience and experience, and it was not impossible.

After all, Huang Taiji wants to invade the Ming Dynasty with an army of 100,000?

That's wishful thinking.

Although most of the current Liaodong is already the territory of Jiannu.

However, with the defense of Liaoyang and the Great Wall in the north of Beijing, as well as the new construction of the Dalian military town.

Zhou Xian was also fearless.

In the end, it is a battle of resources.

That is, a war of attrition.

Now in the rear of the Ming Dynasty, the places that have not been affected by King Chuang have begun to be cultivated.

And Jiannu put down hunting and planting, and fought a war of attrition with the Ming Dynasty on the border?

The person who should be afraid is Huang Taiji, not Zhou Xian.

Therefore, Zhou Xian advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, no matter whether he Huang Taiji wanted to really fight or had other hidden feelings, Zhou Xian had to show a bloodthirsty state that was more looking forward to the war than Huang Taiji.

Zhou Xian's arrangements were ready, and these bigwigs of the military withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Next, it reflects the benefits of Zhou Xian's military reform and the reuse of practical military figures.

In the past, Daming had to prepare for the war, and it would take six or seven days at the earliest.

But the next day.

The nine sides of the Ming Dynasty began to move.

The first was Jin Wuwei, who had been stationed in Xuanfu on the orders of Zhou Xian.

Under the command of Lu Delin, he left the Xuanfu majestically and rushed towards the front line of Liaodong.

Then the Xuanfu army as a whole arranged sentry cavalry in the direction of Liaoyang, and even the city was ready to transfer its position at any time to support Liaoyang.

The second is that the defenders of Shanggu Military Town and Jinzhou Military Town quickly assembled.

They went directly to Liaoyang.

The vacated Jinzhou military town and Shanggu military town were stationed in the town by recruits trained by the imperial court.

In this cycle of conscience, it rotates rapidly.

But in just one day, I got a glimpse of the whole picture.

At the same time, the war reports on the side of Beijing City also spread throughout the borders of the Ming Dynasty over time.

At this time, the person who felt the most relieved pressure was Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.

After Gao Yunxiang was made to collapse.

Li Zicheng led the righteous army to go around the front line of Shaanxi and Henan for half a year.

He met the toughest bone of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting is about the same age as Li Zicheng.

Both of them are in the year of fighting, and Sun Chuanting's training is also iron-blooded.

The reason why Sun Chuanting in history was annihilated by Li Zicheng's entire army, and he was defeated and killed.

That's because Chongzhen urged him to let him fight Li Zicheng.

And Chongzhen neither sent him troops, nor did he send him grain and grass and military salaries.

How can this battle be won by a big margin?

But now, Zhou Xian almost smashed the military salary prepared by the imperial court on Sun Chuanting's side for the first time, and freed Sun Chuanting's command shackles, allowing him to give full play to his military talents.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting naturally will not disappoint Zhou Xian.

Now Li Zicheng has heard that Jiannu has been in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that he is going to use troops against the Ming Dynasty.

He felt that the time was coming for him to take out the siege of Sun Chuanting.

Even Sun Chuanting felt that the imperial court should order to go north directly.

But to Sun Chuanting's surprise, the imperial court did not convey the will.

Instead, he received a tip from Jinyiwei from the post station.

It was clearly stated that the master of the horse wanted Sun Chuanting to be patient in Shaanxi and quell the peasant uprising without hurry.

This surprised Sun Chuanting.

At the same time, I also feel that I have met Bole.

After all, Sun Chuanting was confident that he could follow the strategy and exterminate Li Zicheng in the hinterland of the Central Plains step by step.

Therefore, King Chuang thought too much.

In addition to King Chuang, there are a handful of people who are happy.

At this moment, in the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the capital of Jinling.

Zhao Yanpei, Liao Yongquan and Shi Min sat in Zhao Yanpei's mansion and drank heartily.

Shi Min said: "Huang Taiji really kept his promise, he really Chen soldiers in the north and attracted the attention of the imperial court." ”

"Then we can also take this opportunity to send the supplies to him through the agreed route."

"Not bad! The point is that we can not only send supplies, but also add to the blockage of that dog and horse. ”

"Actually, it's not just us, I'm afraid Huang Taiji also has a big opinion about our son-in-law."

"After all, stopping the change of dogs and horses now is beneficial to the Jurchens."

"Yes! The most important thing is that we can speed up the efficiency of refining silver and vigorously hollow out the private capital. ”

"When Emperor Chongzhen Taishan returns, he will find the miasma of smoke and smoke that the horse prison country has caused him, how angry will it be?"

"Hahaha......"

Shi Min laughed and said: "Huang Taiji Chen Bing in the north, it is beneficial to us, and now the situation in the north is urgent, our self-righteous concubine is definitely not in time to check us!" ”

During this period of time, these few people were also worried.

Jinyi Wei Shun Teng touched all kinds of checks, and Liao Yongquan, who was responsible for refining inferior silver, and Shi Min came to Jinling City (Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty) from Beijing City to take refuge.

They only thought that the Jinyi Guard would chase after them.

Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji gave them a big gift directly at the border.
