Wang Xiangqian is in Shanhaiguan.

He was very angry after receiving the military intelligence report sent by Yang Chengying.

Wang, who is 77 years old this year, has reached retirement age.

Originally, after calming down the Shanhaiguan controversy, he returned to Jizhen to stay with peace of mind.

Su Budi, the leader of Wulianghai outside Jizhen, is very well-behaved, and he can send it away with a few taels of silver.

With the hat of "knowing the border and famous minister", you can retire peacefully after another year or two.

Who knows, Yang Chengying suddenly came to such a hand, captured Gaizhou, and picked up the people trapped in the Thirteen Mountain Posts.

And the Ming army in western Liaoxi nested in Guangning, and the guards did not move.

What's even worse is that Yang Chengying didn't mention the Liaoxi Ming Army in the Di newspaper, even if you write a sentence that the Liaoxi Ming Army cooperated with XX to do it.

It doesn't seem like they're stupid.

Wang Xiangqian's old face couldn't hold up, and he hurriedly found Sun Chengzong: "Yang Chengying is so bold, you and I are actually kept in the dark by him, which is really hateful." ”

Sun Chengzong had already known about this, and he sent someone to Wang Xiangqian to send this newspaper.

At first, Sun Chengzong also felt that Yang Chengying was a little excessive, and such a big thing was concealed to death.

He always thought that Yang Chengying was actually planning to attack Fuzhou City under the guise of attacking Gaizhou!

Later, he figured out that the major affairs of the military aircraft really need to be kept secret, and if someone finds out, the matter cannot be done, not to mention, and there may be danger.

In the face of the governor's anger, Sun Chengzong had no choice but to comfort him: "From Jinzhou Town to this place, it is a long time, and the fighter plane is fleeting, and it is too late to ask for instructions, which is understandable." ”

"Too late? I think he wants to eat alone! Wang Xiangqian said angrily, "If he informs us in advance, the Ming army in Liaoxi can be dispatched to cooperate with him!" ”

It turned out that I was angry because of this.

At the beginning, he said that he could not act rashly, but Governor Wang denied it now.

Although Sun Chengzong thought so, he said: "It's too late to talk about this now, let's think about what to do next and save face." ”

This said to Wang Xiangqian's heart, "I intend to send people to the Ningyuan area to investigate, get some people back, and let's write another set of statements to report to Your Majesty." Otherwise, you and I will not be disgraced. ”

"The enemy has suffered a big loss, if you go at this time, will you be retaliated?"

Sun Chengzong cautiously reminded.

"I can't care so much, Sun Jing will send someone quickly." Wang Xiangqian urged.

The governor of Jiliao said that he had jurisdiction over all the affairs of Jizhen, Liaodong and Denglai, but in fact his power was very limited.

Jizhen has the governor of Jizhen, Liaodong has Jiliao Jingluo, Denglai has Denglai governor, the three parties are each in charge of a piece, and the governor of Jiliao only plays a coordinating role.

But Wang Xiangqian was old and went to Shanhaiguan in person, and Sun Chengzong could only listen to him for some things.

Since Governor Wang insisted on sending troops, Sun Chengzong had no choice but to comply.

He thought about it, and only Yuan Chonghuan was suitable.

"Quickly spread that Yuan Chonghuan came to see me!" Sun Chengzong ordered.

The pro-soldier who received the order said: "Back to my lord, Lord Yuan left the front guard a few days ago and went to the Ningyuan Zhongyou Institute, and told the humble post before leaving, if the lord asks, report it according to the truth." ”

"What? Went to the center of the right! ”

Sun Chengzong was a little anxious: "What is he doing there!" ”

The soldier shook his head.

Sun Chengzong waved his sleeves angrily, and his soldiers retreated.

As soon as the soldier left on the front foot, another soldier came on the back foot.

"My lord, Yuan Chonghuan is out asking to see you."

Sun Chengzong, who was irritable, listened to it and hurriedly asked him to call Yuan Chonghuan in.

When Yuan Chonghuan came in, Sun Chengzong and Wang Xiangqian were taken aback.

A dignified court official is actually ragged and unkempt.

"Lord Jingluo, the lower officials have something to ask for the grace of the adults."

As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Chonghuan knelt on one knee and said with his fists clenched.

Sun Chengzong said: "What's the matter, get up and speak." ”

Yuan Chonghuan got up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Yang Chengying led the army to attack the east and west, and responded to the retreat of the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army. Dai Shan has led the army to retreat to Guangning for rest, and it is a good time for us to send troops to meet some of the fleeing people and enter Ningyuan. ”

"How do you know he's striking the truth?"

Sun Chengzong didn't remember that he had reported the mansion to Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan said: "The last general led part of his men and horses to Ningyuan to investigate the enemy's situation. Unexpectedly saw Yang Chengying's sailor fleet and secretly docked near Jinzhou.

Thinking of his attack on Gaizhou, he came to the conclusion of 'striking the east and attacking the west'. ”

The sharp mind and wise judgment made Sun Chengzong feel a little happy in his heart.

"Okay, I'll give you the soldiers and horses."

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, I'll go to Ningyuan with you, I want to see what Ning Yuan is like that you and Yan Mingtai have in mind!" ”

Then, he turned his head to look at Wang Xiangqian: "Governor Wang, this matter is imminent, please sit in Shanhaiguan and wait for me." ”

When things came to this point, Wang Xiangqian had no reason to object, so he nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Chengzong took Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others to lead the army to Ningyuan to meet the people and inspect Ningyuan at the same time.

There are some things that I don't know, but after Sun Chengzong arrived, he found that Ningyuan was really a good place!

The southwest is the sea, and the northwest is the mountains, which just choke the throat of western Liaoning, and it is far away from Guangning, which was built, so you can temporarily avoid the edge.

"I have made up my mind, I will build a city in Ningyuan, choke the enemy's attack route like a captive city, and then slowly recover Liaoxi and other places."

Sun Chengzong called Yuan Chonghuan over and explained: "We won't leave when we come, you and Man Gui, Lu Shanji, Gao Jian, and He Qian are here to rebuild the city." ”

"Thank you, my lord, Xia Guan will definitely build Ningyuan City into a Great Wall to block the enemy."

Yuan Chonghuan said confidently.

"Okay, I'll give you my full support." Sun Chengzong nodded.

Through Yang Chengying's attack, Sun Chengzong found that Jianyu was not as powerful as he imagined, and there was still a way to defeat it.

Defend first and then fight, Xu Tu slowly advances, it is really a wise saying.

They received in Ningyuan the people who had escaped from the Thirteen Mountain Posts, as many as 6,000 people.

Sun Chengzong handed over the 6,000 people to Zhao Shujiao and asked him to train well, and he returned to Shanhaiguan to resume his life.

Most of these 6,000 people are strong, and on this basis, Zhao Shujiao trained a relatively capable army, the Guanning Army!

After Sun Chengzong returned to Shanhaiguan, after discussing with Wang Xiangqian, he officially sent a joint letter to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, saying that the Ming army in western Liaoning also attacked and responded to Yang Chengying's actions.

It's just that Yang Chengying hid it from the beginning that they didn't know the inside story, so they sent out fewer soldiers and horses, and only received 6,000 people.

He also highlighted Yuan Chonghuan's exploits and his intention to repair the city in Ningyuan.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse read the book, and had mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that you can really make it up, but thinking that Shanhaiguan was very important, he did not pursue the matter, and issued an edict to give oral praise.

Then, 200,000 internal funds were allocated to the front line in Liaodong for the construction of Ningyuan City.

After this incident, Wang Xiangqian also knew that this was a place of right and wrong, so he made an excuse, left Shanhaiguan, went to Jizhen in a gloomy manner, and continued to be his famous minister.
