Chapter 213: The Deadly Scholar II

"Doesn't Grandpa often say that Liaodong is a good place?"

Huang Chunyao smiled a little weirdly: "Liaodong is a vast land, I don't know how many officials of the imperial court have been buried..."

Chen Cao's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean..."

Huang Chunyao arched his hand: "Grandpa, the student has a plan, but the hands of the imperial court will execute Yuan Chonghuan, the student heard earlier that the grandfather hated Yuan Chonghuan very much before he became a nobleman of the dynasty, so the student has a plan called 'plan will be calculated'..."

Chen Cao looked at Huang Chunyao with a smile: "Borrow the hand of Jiannu? ”

Huang Chunyao smiled evilly: "Exactly, if the student guesses correctly, Jiannu is going to repeat the scene of Salhu, I heard that they made a detour to Mongolia, and they must be going to attack the weakest place in our Ming defense, and then force the imperial court to order Yuan Chonghuan to return to the army, once the army returns, the frontal enemy will definitely be dispatched, and at this point, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely be defeated;

Even if he is undefeated, but Jiannu attacked other places in Liaodong, forcing the pressure on the Jingshi to double, even if the emperor wants to protect him, hehe, this guy is from the Donglin Party, but this guy built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian, and he has already taken refuge in the eunuch party, and those Qingliu officials in the court hate him to the bone..."

Chen Cao suddenly felt that Huang Chunyao was also a traverser, and this strategy was exactly the same as that implemented by Jiannu in later generations: "Then what do you think, which position is the most suitable?" ”

Huang Chunyao didn't think about it at all, and blurted out: "Along the Great Wall of Xifengkou...

The students carefully probed the map, and also asked the spies who came back, Xifengkou is the closest to the Beijing Division, and it is only three days away from the entrance to the Beijing Division, so it is not enough to consider the imperial court, and the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp and the 12th regiment battalion is low, Jiannu suddenly entered the pass and plundered, what the imperial court can do is to defend the Beijing Division, and then send people to Jizhen and Xuanda and Shanhaiguan to transfer troops;

In addition, the students also carefully referred to the fact that it would take fifteen days for the reinforcements from Xuanda and Daxue to arrive in the capital at the earliest, and the defenders of the nearby Bauhinia Pass and other places were weak and could be excluded from the situation, so the imperial court could only transfer troops from Jizhen and Shanhaiguan;

All the soldiers and horses in these two places have been transferred to Yuan Chonghuan's account, and there are no soldiers available, so..."

Chen Cao nodded in agreement: "Yunsheng, your methods are getting more and more vicious..."

"Hehe, I've been following my grandfather for a long time, I still have to learn this..."

'Flutter...'

Zhao Xin beside him lowered his head and smiled, Chen Cao's face turned dark: "What do you mean to follow me for a long time?" Do I have the means to teach you the yin people? Don't forget that Zhejiang was your Huang Chunyao's idea. ”

"Yes, yes, the student lost his words... Hehe..."Huang Chunyao laughed, and then said with a straight face: "Jiannu will never march from the Great Wall north of our Guangning City, that is the land of the Hetao of the Duoyan Department, there are a lot of bubbles and swamps on the side of the Great Wall, and a large number of people and horses will definitely fall into the pit, so if they want to win against Yuan Chonghuan with a strategy, they must borrow from Mongolia;

And now the Mongols have not yet conquered more than a dozen tribes north of the Hulan River, and the rest are all vassals to Jiannu, and they can't say that they still want to pull the Mongols into the customs together;

If Jiannu wants to march from the front, the first thing to charge is my Guangning City, otherwise it is difficult for people and horses to walk, if it is a head-on confrontation, Yuan Chonghuan has an army of 100,000, Jiannu wants to win, he has to pay the price, those soldiers under his command except for a small part of the Jingying troops of the guard, at least more than half are from the border army. ”

"Haoge's trip, first, is to make peace with Yuan Chonghuan, and second, to get accurate information about the defense of the Xifengkou Great Wall from us, and then get some materials and benefits they want."

After Chen Cao finished speaking, he knocked on the table, Huang Chunyao moved, and said in surprise: "Grandpa, the student guesses that someone in the DPRK must have revealed the news to Jiannu..."

Yes...

Chen Cao suddenly forgot about the eight imperial merchants of Shanxi who left the gate, and they were more or less in contact with the officials in the court, and it was also a trivial matter for these people to sell some of the inside information of the Ming Dynasty for money.

"I think your plan works."

Chen Cao nodded: "It seems that Haoge's side has to perform better." ”

"We rejected them, we won't let them suspect them." Zhao Xin interjected inappropriately.

Chen Cao shook his head: "Don't worry, his task has not been completed, he must contact us, don't worry..."

..

"How is it, how is the food in my Guangning City compared to that in your Jurchen territory?"

Haoge sent someone to contact Chen Cao two days later, of course, Chen Cao, as 'Wang Xiaojie', naturally wanted to go to the meeting happily, and the location was still in the old place of the Commercial Taxation Bureau.

Haoge still has a look of arrogance, as if he is the father of the Ming people.

"General Wang, let's continue to talk about cooperation, my time is tight, but there is no extra time to spend with you, your family is now in Liaodong, and General Wang, as the general soldier of Liaoxi, it is a simple matter to see him, it is better to inform your family and let him meet with me, so as to discuss specific matters carefully."

Chen Cao smiled: "What, what qualifications do you think you have to see my grandfather?" ”

Haoge was not angry at all: "I am a big golden beizi, and I am equivalent to the level of the national prince in your Ming country, why can't I talk to your family and the national prince?" ”

Saying that, Haoge looked angry: "Don't think that you really have a few catties and a few taels, now Liaodong is still my big gold who has the final say, Yuan Chonghuan's house is just a local chicken and a dog, he will attack your capital one day, so as to teach you to wait for the southern barbarians to know the power of my Eight Banners army." ”

"Hahaha," Chen Cao raised his head and laughed a few times: "It's kind of interesting... I don't know what sincerity you have to talk to my grandfather? ”

Haoge looked at Chen Cao coldly for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "My army of the Eight Banners of the Great Jin Kingdom will cross the mouth of the Shuangtaizi River in a few days, if your family and country are sincere, my Great Jin Khan is willing to discuss with Chen Cao in detail." ”

"How would Ben have known that you wouldn't have come up with any tricks?" Chen Cao frowned and looked at Hauge.

Haoge snorted seriously at this moment: "That's all I have to say, believe it or not is your family's business, the words have also arrived, in order to show the happiness of our cooperation, I think General Wang should be able to give some benefits." ”

Chen Cao looked at him with interest in his hands on his chest: "Then what benefits can you give us?" ”

.

"Grandpa, we can talk, and when we really see Huang Taiji, let's take out a handcuff and shoot him, as soon as Huang Taiji dies, the civil strife in Jiannu will definitely not stop, and it will be absolutely beneficial for us to go on here."

Chen Cao did not agree with Huang Chunyao's suggestion, although this move was good, but it was Yuan Chonghuan who actually benefited, and now Chen Cao's situation is extremely embarrassing, he doesn't know what the court's specific treatment of him is, and the so-called 'unpredictable power', it is not necessary that he will be sold by Yuan Chonghuan to Jiannu, after all, he is the public enemy of the Jurchens.

"Guess what, will Huang Taiji ambush me?"

This is a new problem, and while you are calculating others, it is very likely that your opponents are calculating you.

Wang Xiaojie stepped forward at this time: "Grandpa, why don't you let the last general pretend to be the grandfather to talk to them, in short, they have never seen the last general, even if there is danger, it will not put the grandfather in danger." ”

Chen Cao seemed to have suddenly figured out something, so he laughed and said: "It seems that the spies in this Guangning City are not ordinary, Wang Xiaojie, I and the Dingwu Army have all been sold to Huang Taiji by Yuan Chonghuan." ”

The crowd frowned in confusion, and it was estimated that only Chen Cao knew the inside story.

Sure enough, three days later, Yuan Chonghuan sent three official documents to Chen Cao, urging Chen Cao to send troops to Xipingbao as soon as possible to occupy the mouth of the Shuangtaizi River and the Daliao River, and the follow-up army would arrive later.

Before leaving, Chen Cao arranged for Wang Xiaojie to gather in Guangning City with 30,000 horses under the command of the Liaoxi General Army, and he set off from Xiping Fort with two divisions of the Dingwu Army.

...

"It's all burned..."

When Chen Cao first aided Liao, the decisive battle was in Xipingbao, but it was a pity that Sun Degong was in the battle against the water and ruined the entire Guangning war, so that Wang Huazhen's army was defeated, and the Ming Dynasty lost the actual control of the land east of the Shuangtaizi River in Liaodong.

If Nurhachi hadn't given up Guangning City back then, the Jurchen Department could even come and go with the Ningjin area in western Liaoning.

Xiping Fort was later burned down and left in ruins.

"Nurhachi lost Jinzhou the year before last, and died of a recurrence of old injuries from Yuan Chonghuan's Hongyi cannon, and now Jiannu attaches great importance to Hongyi artillery, and there are a lot of various types of artillery equipment, but they don't like muskets, they think that kind of thing is still not as good as the bow and arrow in their hands."

Chen Cao listened to Cao Wenzhao and nodded in agreement: "How long has General Cao fought with Jiannu?" ”

"The last general only fought with the Tartars a few times in Liaoyang that year, and then he was transferred to the account of Lord Wang by the grandfather of the country, and so far after so many years, he has not fought with them."

"You have learned the Qi family's tactics, and do you think that if you use the Qi family's tactics to fight Jiannu, what are the odds?"

Cao Wenzhao's face was serious: "In the battle of Liaoyang, our army suffered a loss, if it was in the field to open a position, maybe there would be a fight, now the Liaodong army is afraid of the Tartars like tigers, many troops heard the Tartars coming, they all fled in a panic, and hurriedly went to the big city to hold on, no one is willing to fight with the Tartars head-on, let alone the field battles." ”

"Then if you are allowed to lead troops to fight Jiannu head-on now, can you be sure?"

In the face of Chen Cao's inquiry, Cao Wenzhao had a calm look on his face: "Tartars are also born and raised by their parents, in addition to fighting fiercely, they are actually afraid of death, their real Tartars are only tens of thousands, and they can't afford to die, and every time they hit the vanguard, it must be the border army and guard troops surrendered by the Ming Dynasty, and the first charge was carried out with armored soldiers after the first wave of impact; ”

Saying that, Cao Wenzhao said with disdain: "It is this kind of primitive and backward tactical tactics, but every time I fight, my Ming official army is defeated, and it fails one after another, which is really ridiculous."
