Chapter 62: The two armies face each other

Shangguan Jinpeng said: "This is exactly the reason! The Battle of Songjin was a decisive battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties that was a matter of life and death, and it was precisely caused by two inconspicuous isolated cities, and it took place in an area favorable to the Qing army, which is enough to see that the Qing Dynasty that launched this battle was premeditated, and the Ming Dynasty obviously did not make an overall plan for the final showdown between the two countries, and it was entirely because of the hasty adventure of accidental events, and there was no reason to be invincible? This fiasco caused the Ming Dynasty to lose the last bet, and the current situation it is facing is so grim. On www.biquge.info the surface, it seems that this defeat was the fault of Chongzhen and Hong Chengchou, but in fact, as early as Yuan Chonghuan built the Ningjin defense line, he had already laid the root of this fiasco. With the combat strength of the Qing army, it may not be impossible to capture Jinzhou and Ningyuan, they just want to adopt the strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, attack the Ming army, and lure the Ming army out of Shanhaiguan step by step to divide and eliminate it. It is really sad and lamentable! Almost all of the elite regiments of the Ming Dynasty were annihilated by the Qing army outside this defense line, and it was really foolish to idle one of the strongest defense lines in the world! On the other hand, the Qing army was so cautious that it failed to storm the capital several times? The superiority of the commanders of both sides is obvious. ”

Duan Hongyu said: "The Ming Dynasty is now like a tired egg, and it is no longer able to return to the sky!"

Shangguan Jinpeng said: "Otherwise! Although the current situation in the Ming Dynasty has been greatly damaged, it is far from being out of control. The two capitals in the north and south are still there, as long as the battle line is shrunk and the Shanhaiguan is well guarded, the Qing army will not be able to attack it in another hundred years. The current national strength of the Ming Dynasty is simply unable to cope with the two-front war, and the current primary task is to speed up the extermination of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. ”

Duan Hongyu said: "But now the court is talking about peace, and no one is willing to fight at all!"

As soon as he heard the word "peace", Shangguan Jinpeng was furious: "It is absolutely not feasible to discuss peace. Whoever is the main peacemaker can be killed! Negotiation of peace is a huge blow to the morale of the people. Just imagine, the enemy made peace with you because he couldn't destroy you at all. If it could easily win, it would never have made a draw. Just like the peace negotiation between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin, it was because the Jin Dynasty saw that the Southern Song Dynasty was strong and it was impossible to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, so it accepted the conditions for peace. There are many people who don't know the truth and attribute the Song and Jin discussions to Qin Hui, which is really a big misunderstanding. Qin Hui did not have any credit to the Song Jin peace discussion. The conditions of the Southern Song Dynasty peace negotiations were bought with the blood and lives of countless rebels, and without their bloody battles, the Jin Dynasty would not have accepted the peace negotiations at all. Therefore, there is only peace that can be fought, and there is no peace that can be discussed. Another thing you may forget is that the game is played by two people, and it cannot be arbitrarily played by just one side. The biggest mistake of the Jin Dynasty was to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty, and did not concentrate all its efforts to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally suffered a tragic end under the attack of Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. With the wisdom of Huang Taiji and Dolgon, it is impossible not to think of this. Don't think that we are the only ones who learn from history, and so are the enemies. If there is no experience of the Jin Dynasty, it is acceptable, with the lessons of the Jin Dynasty, with the methods of Huang Taiji and Dolgon, the Ming Dynasty will never be spared, and it will be destroyed as soon as possible, and it is not advisable to negotiate peace. More importantly, once peace is negotiated, it will cause people to have a fluke mentality and will lack even more the courage to fight with the enemy, and in the long run, the will of our army and the people will be completely lost. Now there is only one way, and that is to kill all those who advocate peace, and appoint those who are loyal and brave to fight as a final effort. Desperate, survive in death, die as a means, life as an end, and maybe a glimmer of life!"

Duan Hongyu originally wanted to persuade Shangguan Jinpeng to let him join the righteous army and return to the banner of King Chuang, who wanted to not only fail to convince the other party, but was almost persuaded by the other party, and said secretly: "Whether Shangguan Jinpeng is an enemy or a friend, in short, he is a great person. "I might as well worship him as a teacher, and I can also gain more knowledge!" and said: "Mr. is very knowledgeable, and I want to worship Mr. as a teacher, I wonder if Mr. can agree?"

Shangguan Jinpeng laughed and said: "The old man is just talking nonsense, how dare a wanderer talk about the current situation? I only dare to talk a little in front of the son, the son is amazingly talented, and he really doesn't dare to be a fool!"

Duan Hongyu said: "Mr. doesn't have to be too humble, I just follow Mr. to learn the method of saving the country, and there is really no other attempt!"

Shangguan Jinpeng saw that Duan Hongyu was sincerely apprenticed, so he agreed. Duan Hongyu has performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and he can be regarded as officially becoming a disciple of Shangguan Jinpeng.

In the following days, Duan Hongyu studied Shangguan Jinpeng's writings every day in the Moth Army, and his knowledge made great progress! In the process of studying, he became more and more worried, because he found that Shangguan Jinpeng was not as simple as he thought, no matter whether these writings were reasonable or not, in short, Shangguan Jinpeng was a person with ideas, and this set of theories was also very demagogic, and people with faith were different from people who pursued power, and they could not be changed at all. Because of the different beliefs, a bloody battle between the Moth Army and the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain will be inevitable. Every time he thought of this, Duan Hongyu shuddered, he really hoped that he could become a bridge between the two armies and avoid this unprecedented martial arts catastrophe.

The Moth Army and the official army faced each other for several days, and neither side dared to attack easily. That night, Duan Hongyu was asleep, and suddenly heard shouts outside to kill Zhentian, he hurriedly got dressed and came to Shangguan Jinpeng's handsome tent. I saw that the leaders of the Moth Army were lined up in two rows, waiting for Shangguan Jinpeng's order. Duan Hongyu asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Except for Shangguan Hongying and Lin Zhongxiao, the moth army was very suspicious of Duan Hongyu's worship of Shangguan Jinpeng as a teacher, thinking that he was a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens - not well-intentioned. At this time, when he asked a question, he all cast a vicious gaze.

Shangguan Jinpeng said: "Xia Qianxun and they have already killed them with a lot of people!"

Duan Hongyu said: "The enemy army is fierce, and it is invincible!"

Shangguan Jinpeng snorted and said, "It's okay if they're here, so we don't have to go to them!"

At this moment, I only heard someone say in a loud voice: "Shangguan Jinpeng, you traitor, you still don't come out to die?" The voice fell, and Xia Qianxun led the silver spear to kill Lin Fengting and the three kings of the world like a whirlwind. How high are these people's martial arts? The moth army that stepped forward to block them died one after another!

Shangguan Jinpeng led the group out of the tent, he ordered the moth army to retreat, and said loudly: "Xia Qianxun, Hugh has to do evil!"

Xia Qianxun stopped and said, "Shangguan Jinpeng, don't you still admit defeat?"

Shangguan Jinpeng said with a smile: "Even a rat like you dare to make such wild words?"
