"But this goes against the strategy left by Xiong Da Sima, which is to focus on defense, supplemented by dispatching mobile troops to sweep and wipe out. If you change it without authorization, you must report it to the court!"
Chen Xinjia, the newly appointed Liaodong censor, couldn't help but say something at this time.
"He has already been promoted back to Beijing, why are he still holding on to his bullshit strategy!"
Zhou Yuji retorted directly.
Chen Xinjia's face suddenly turned red. If it weren't for the thought that Zhou Yuji was a close confidant of the emperor, he would have wanted to directly advise Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting to drag Zhou Yuji outside the tent and beat him with dozens of sticks.
Sun Chuanting couldn't help coughing because of this.
Only then did Zhou Yuji realize that something was wrong and said nothing more.
Yuan Keli shook his head and smiled.
He had to admit that these generals who were directly under the orders of His Majesty were really different from other military generals. They dared to speak like this in front of civilian officials like himself who had military power. He even said this to Xiong Tingbi, who had been promoted to Minister of War. Just complain, if it were other generals who were controlled by civilian officials, let alone Xiong Tingbi, even Chen Xinjia, the powerful patrol censor in front of him, would not be provoked by these generals.
Lu Xiangsheng saw that Zhou Yuji had made the atmosphere tense. He was just here to make a suggestion, but he seemed to want to criticize the Liaodong strategy left by Xiong Tingbi, and even wanted to offend Xiong Tingbi and some of the people behind him. He couldn't help but understand Zhou Yuji. His partner glanced at him, then stood up, raised his hands to Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting and said:
"Jing Lue and Zhong Cheng often say that soldiers have no constant momentum and water has no constant shape. Although Zhou Youyi's words are rough and arrogant, what he said is not unreasonable. Now that Donglu has changed his tactics, we must also change accordingly, in order to take advantage of the situation. When the Donglu are weak, they will be completely wiped out, instead of waiting for them to secretly cultivate and reproduce in the fields and regain their strength. After all, the Donglu are not like other Tartars. There are countless fertile fields in their strongholds, and there are many experienced farmers and veterans. artisan."
"Yes, we should concentrate our forces now, with fifty, sixty, or even one hundred thousand soldiers and horses under unified command. Each department should strengthen intelligence liaison and coordination, and advance step by step. It can not only besiege the city and consume the Donglu bandits, but also lure them Let them go out of the city to call for reinforcements and engage in a big battle, instead of putting hundreds of thousands of troops in places like Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Guangning like now, and only sending a few thousand elites out of the city to mobilely suppress the bandits! The final general has been drawn up I have learned the specific details, and I would like to ask Zhong Cheng and Jing Lue to read them in person."
Zhou Yuji agreed and handed over a booklet.
Sun Chuanting snorted, looked at Zhou Yuji, and said angrily: "From my perspective, it's Zhou Yuji who is unwilling to lead only three thousand guards and wants to lead tens of thousands, right? You are very greedy. You have relatives. How capable I was back then."
There are very few generals in the Ming Dynasty who can command tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Only Qi Jiguang, who was trusted by civil servants such as Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun during the Zhang Juzheng era, commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in a short period of time. Basically, Those who command large-scale troops and horses are civilian officials.
Therefore, when Sun Chuanting said this to Zhou Yuji, Zhou Yuji had no choice but to tighten his lips and not say anything else.
Yuan Keli spoke at this time and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. The war situation is changing, and the tactics of war will naturally change accordingly. But some things are not as simple as fighting. If you are willing to let the Donglu be wiped out as soon as possible, there is a chance If you don't want to, I will tell you the truth. From Shanhaiguan to Liaoyang and Shenyang, there are no less than 200,000 elite border troops. I can order them to hold on to the city and repel all the invading Tartars. Whoever dares to neglect their duties can also do it. Even the commander-in-chief and the generals would dare to kill him. However, if I really hope that I can get so many soldiers to work together to suppress the bandits and completely kill the Donglu, let alone I can't do it. Even if Xiong Jinglue comes, he can't do it."
"Jing Lue is right. Each town in Liaodong has its own plans. Just like you are the emperor's property, I can't do whatever I want you to do, and I can't do whatever I want them to do. If you rashly order a large army to go out for suppression, if you command it properly, you may be able to escape unscathed, otherwise, it will be the second defeat of Sarhu."
Sun Chuanting also started talking. He believed that Zhou Yuji and others should understand that there were many people in various military towns in Liaodong who wanted to support the bandits.
"In this case, I will retire!"
Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to reply.
…
"Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng just approached Yuan Jinglue and Sun Zhongcheng and suggested that they mobilize their troops to attack the Donglu, but Yuan Jinglue and Sun Zhongcheng rejected it!"
The Ming Dynasty has now recovered Tieling.
Jin Guan became the new Tieling Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Dynasty because of his recovery of Tieling.
At this time, his deputy general Zu Dashou was talking to Jin Guan and started laughing as he spoke.
"Yeah?"
Jin Guan also laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Jing Lue and Zhong Cheng are both sensible people, just like Xiong Jin Lue."
Zu Dashou also echoed: "The commander-in-chief is right. These people from the Guard Town have passed the military examinations and benefited from their military merits. They are also members of the imperial court. After killing the Donglu, they will only be promoted to official positions. We are different, the court is on guard against us, and now we are given enough money and food because we are useful, but when the Donglu are killed, we will become useless and the court is worried about us."
"Li Ruwu wrote a letter, and he also means the same thing, asking us not to kill Donglu too harshly!"
Jin Guan replied.
…
"Is Liu Aita reliable?"
Zhou Yuji asked Mao Wenlong who suddenly came to see him.
Mao Wenlong nodded and replied: "Absolutely reliable. I have worked with him and know his character."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuji began to think deeply and glanced at Huang Degong.
But then, Zhou Yuji couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Why, you don't have the idea of raising the bandits' self-respect?"
Mao Wenlong shook his head: "I'm just a general. What I need more is military exploits and opportunities. Jinglue said that as long as I cooperate with you, he will let me enter the martial arts hall! Jinglue said that is where generals will be born in the future. .”
"What exactly does Jinglue want to do? Why didn't you say this when I was here just now?"
Zhou Yuji laughed.
Mao Wenlong said: "Of course he is afraid of being known by others, and Jinglue doesn't want to see some people playing tricks to support the bandits. He asked me to tell you this, because he wanted me to pass on a message to you, from Guibu and Liu Ai Tali should cooperate with the outside to capture Shihe Village, and when the time comes, Zhongcheng will lead and order You Shigong, He Shixian, and He Kegang to assist and stop the enemy. The lower official and Qianzong Zhang Pan will cooperate with you to attack the city and be under your control."
"It turns out that the manager has already planned it in his mind."
Huang Degong couldn't help but say something to Mao Wenlong at this time.
Zhou Yuji asked in surprise: "You Shigong, He Shixian, and He Kegang are willing to cooperate?"
"Jing Lue has promised them that as long as they destroy the Donglu, they will be granted the title of earl for them in the future."
Mao Wenlong replied.
"It seems that all the military towns in Liaodong are not monolithic!"
Zhou Yuji therefore smiled and said to Huang Degong, and then asked Mao Wenlong: "When does Jinglue ask us to take action in Jinwei Town?"
"After Jinglue led the rest of Liaodong's generals to inspect western Liaoning, those Liaodong generals had already followed Jinglue except for Liaoyang's generals You Shigong, Shenyang's generals He Shixian and the governor's deputy commander He Kegang. In western Liaoning, it is naturally difficult to know about our dispatch of troops to Shihe Village, and it is also difficult to inform Donglu."
Mao Wenlong replied.
"It's a strategy after all!"
Zhou Yuji said: "In that case, why not go to Shihe Village in disguise now and get a feel for the situation inside the village, otherwise, when the time comes to attack Shihe Village, it will not be regarded as blind men touching the elephant. Anyway, we are all from the Liao Dynasty. People can also speak Jurchen. Since President Mao Qian has already met Liu Aita in Shihe Village, why not take us to meet Liu Aita and discuss how to cooperate internally and externally."
Seeing this, Mao Wenlong replied: "Okay!"
"Okay! But be careful."
Huang Degong agreed and asked, "Do you want to tell Lu Xundao?"
"He's a southerner who can't speak Jurchen. Forget it, there's no need to tell him! Besides, if something happens to us, our classmates in the first team of the first period don't have to pay all the money."
Zhou Yuji replied.
