Port Arthur, the main hall of the sailor's yamen.

Xiong Tingbi led everyone to kowtow in the direction of Jingshi, and then kowtowed to the Shang Fang sword given to him by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Finally, they were seated.

Xiong Tingbi sat first, and Yuan Keli and other adults sat down.

After they sat down, the generals of the Jinzhou Guards sat down one after another at Yang Chengying's signal.

Etiquette in place.

Under Xiong Tingbi's eye signal, Gao Bangzuo, who participated in politics, took the baton and walked to the front of the huge map of Liaodong.

"Xiong Jingluo reported to His Majesty for approval, and the strategy arranged by the three parties is as follows......"

Gao Bang Zuolang said: "Take the Ming army of western Liaoxi as the west road, accumulate strength, and recover a large area of land east of the Sancha River from west to east. Jinzhou, as the southern road, was controlled by the governor of Denglai, and recovered southern Liaoning from south to north. ”

"Send Liang Zhiyuan, the deputy envoy of the supervising army, to send an envoy to Chaoxian, and ask them to levy all the troops of the Eight Daos and set up a company camp on the river to help the prestige of our army."

"The close cooperation of the three parties and the simultaneous dispatch of troops can thwart the arrogance of the slave chieftains in one fell swoop and recover the land of the Ming Dynasty. As for the time, we will inform you separately. ”

Looking at Gao Bangzuo's enthusiastic introduction of the strategy, Yang Chengying only had one word "boring".

He didn't understand who gave them the confidence to do such a big strategy in the era when there was no telegraph, how could they coordinate it in time and space.

Even in the battle of Salhu, it was difficult for the four-way army to march together.

It is also separated by the Bohai Sea, and it is engaged in three ways in parallel.

Xiong Tingbi inspected everyone and found that his faces were different, especially Yang Chengying, who was a one-footer, did not express his position, and he was somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Yang, what do you think about this?"

Xiong Tingbi asked loudly.

"The plan of the imperial court and Xiong Jingluo is indeed very grand, and we deeply admire it."

Anyway, it was just a matter of discussing and informing me, and Yang Chengying simply put on a top hat.

"This sounds wrong, this scripture is by no means a 'one-word hall', you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

For these perfunctory words, Xiong Tingbi was obviously unhappy.

"The subordinates really have no opinions, please don't doubt it."

Yang Chengying said this, but he was thinking in his heart: I don't want to learn from Liu Bei, I'm really telling the truth.

Xiong Tingbi frowned, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, Yang Chengying was a cautious person, and the strategy formulated by the imperial court really did not dare to speak easily.

"Okay. On the Jinzhou side, you accept the moderation of Lord Yuan, the governor of Denglai, and hope to cooperate more in the future. ”

Xiong Tingbi motioned for them to get to know each other.

"I've seen Lord Yuan."

Yang Chengying got up and hugged his fists.

"Well said, well said."

Yuan Keli didn't get up to respond, only arched his hand.

That's a lot of respect.

In the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Keli was a fixed voter, and he did not need to get up.

Xiong Tingbi didn't feel anything, and turned his head to look at Liang Zhiyuan: "This time the envoy is fresh, and the public responsibility is heavy. ”

"Please rest assured, I will not fail in my mission."

Liang Zhiyuan is over forty years old this year, and he looks old and serious.

At this time, Yang Chengying said: "Xiong Jingluo, his subordinates rarely have an indissoluble bond with the court, and I don't know if I can go to the court with Lord Liang." ”

"You're going too?"

"Ask the adults to be fulfilled."

Liang Zhiyuan's mission is of great significance, and Yang Chengying is worried that some people in the court will complain to Liang Zhiyuan and shake out their own bottoms.

Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

Chao Xian has obvious signs of grass on the wall between the Ming Dynasty and the Nu chieftain, and it really needs a general to accompany him and knock them from time to time.

After the meeting ended, Xiong Tingbi left Yang Chengying alone and held a banquet to entertain him.

In order not to make himself look majestic, Xiong Tingbi deliberately changed into civilian clothes.

Waiting for the maid to serve the hot wine, Xiong Tingbi ordered that no one should be allowed to approach without his order.

"Brother, I'm going back to Liaoxi, and I want to talk to you alone before leaving."

"You're welcome."

"Through the observation of the Golden State these days, I am very pleased to find that you have managed the Golden State in an orderly manner. To have a pillar like you is a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people. ”

"Adults are the real pillars of the country, and their subordinates are just toads in a depression, and they don't know how thick the sky is."

"But I see you have a lot to say, but you don't dare to say it."

"Nope."

Xiong Tingbi is a good person, but it doesn't mean that the people he brings are good.

Beware of the walls with ears!

However, Xiong Tingbi obviously didn't want to let him go.

"Don't worry, I've already dismissed all the people around me."

Xiong Tingbi picked up the hot wine in the cup, "The conversation between you and me, God knows what you know, you know what I know." ”

Yang Chengying also picked up his wine glass and accepted Xiong Tingbi's toast.

The two drank it all.

Subsequently, Xiong Tingbi asked about the arrangement of the three parties.

"My lord, Governor Wang is not a commander, the two ends of the court and the first rat, Jinzhou's strength is still weak, may I ask if the three sides attack at the same time, whether it can win, it is still unknown."

This is the most pertinent evaluation given by Yang Chengying in combination with the summary of history.

Xiong Tingbi was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you think should be done?" ”

"Although the slave chieftain has won successive battles, it is still far inferior to the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Slave chiefs are good at martial arts, but they are not good at governance. ”

Yang Chengying carefully analyzed: "The most important thing is not in us, but in the imperial court, whether we can pay the soldiers enough." It is also necessary to be patient, train and prepare for war, and look for fighters before making a move. ”

These words made Xiong Tingbi even more silent.

What worries him most now is precisely the issue of food. For a long time, the court can't afford it.

It will be mistaken for self-respect.

"Other than that, there's really no way to defeat the enemy?" Xiong Tingbi asked.

"There are no shortcuts to national affairs!"

Yang Cheng answered his question in a very serious tone.

"Okay......"

Xiong Tingbi took a deep breath.

The wine was almost drunk, and Xiong Tingbi sighed.

"The eldest husband works for the country, so he naturally works hard, but ...... Sometimes it's tough. ”

"Retreating from the torrent may be the long-term solution." Yang Chengying persuaded with deep meaning.

Xiong Tingbi understood the meaning of the words, and persuaded him not to do Liaodong Economic Strategy.

In history, Wang Huazhen's misdeeds implicated Xiong Tingbi and was rumored to be the head of the nine sides.

"No! I was appreciated by Emperor Wanli and passed through Liaodong, how could I give up halfway. ”

Xiong Tingbi didn't think about it and rejected Yang Chengying's suggestion.

"Then there is another one, please keep it in mind." Yang Chengying said again.

"Which one?"

"In any case, don't give up the Liaoning West Corridor, even if the situation is out of control, don't give up Jinzhou. It was the throat of the Liaoning West Corridor, and it could not be discarded. ”

"What do you say...... It seems that there is a suspicion of growing the ambition of others and destroying his own prestige. ”

"The subordinates are telling the truth. Without Jinzhou, it would be dangerous for the Mongols such as the Karaqin tribe and the Ao Han tribe to lose their last reward stronghold and fall to the slave chieftains. ”

"Well, I remember."

The real reason, Yang Chengying did not say.

According to historical records, Xiong Tingbi was broken by Wang Huazhen, and he even said it with a smile.

More seriously, he simply gave up the Liaoxi Corridor, if it weren't for Nurhachi's inability to digest such a large territory, Liaodong would only be left with Shanhaiguan.

I almost made a big mistake.
