Chapter 162 Unfortunate Words
Unfortunately, Li Dingguo's words finally came true. When Sun Chuanding met the three general soldiers of Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen and Marco in Shunde Mansion, he ordered Bai Guangen to lead his troops to stay in Shunde Guangping, and he sent Ma Ke to lead about 15,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Jining Prefecture first, and he The governor took Wu Sangui's subordinates and Jingfu's tens of thousands of troops under his command, turned to Yanggu, went south along the canal, and rushed to Jiningzhou.
After getting the scout's report, Xiao Tianjian sighed and said that Li Dingguo's mouth was really poisonous, and he was right. Sun Chuanting, an old and cunning guy, did not put eggs in a basket. He led a heavy army directly from the Daming Mansion and entered Jiningzhou.
In this way, there was a big deviation from the plan set by him, Li Xin and other staff. In the originally scheduled ambush battle, now we had to divide the troops. The open pocket was equivalent to only netting Marco. The two big fish, Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui, wiped the net and wanted to miss this net. .
So Xiao Tianjian immediately discussed countermeasures with Li Xin and other staff officers. Xiao Tianjian intended to divide his troops, leaving part of his troops in Nanle County, waiting for the arrival of Marco, and the rest was directly from Yanggu County, blocking Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui in Yanggu County, and striving to attack the two officers and soldiers at the same time. Defeat.
However, Xiao Tianjian's proposal was opposed by Li Xin. Li Xin stood in front of the map and pointed to the map and said, "Has the general ever considered that if we divide our troops to attack, how many people should be left here to deal with Marco with our current troops?"
If there are few left, you may only be able to defeat Marco, but you can't annihilate him. With the faction of the officers and soldiers, if the war is not smooth, you will be immediately withdrawn. Therefore, if you leave less troops, you can't annihilate Marco. If you stay more, then the troops that the general can bring to Yanggu are not enough to deal with Sun Chuanting.
Therefore, the general thinks that we should choose the officers and soldiers all the way, concentrate our efforts to annihilate them, instead of being greedy, and deal with the two officers and soldiers at the same time. In this way, our troops will be much thinner, and in the end, we may not be able to eat both officers and soldiers!"
After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian thought for a moment and felt that Li Xin's words were very reasonable. At present, the troops he gathered in Nanle County did not have as many officers and soldiers. Although in terms of strength, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers under his command may far exceed that of the officers and soldiers, he is designed to annihilate Sun Chuanting, Wu Sangui and others here. The premise is that the other party is caught off guard, and it is possible to eat it.
Now because Sun Chuanting was not fooled, he rushed to Jiningzhou with troops. He did not get into the net he set up at once, and the situation has changed a lot. With his strength, there is no problem to eat Marco now. If he divides troops, he will lead a horse to Yanggu, frontally with Sun Chuanting. In the confrontation with Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses, if the number of people left behind is large, the number of people and horses he takes to deal with Sun Chuanding and Wu Sangui may not be enough. If there are few people left, he may not be able to eat the Ma Ke Institute. Even Sun Chuanding and Wu Sangui may not be able to eat it.
However, Li Xin's opinion takes this into account. Since the situation has changed at present, it is not the best strategy for them to divide troops. The best strategy should be to concentrate the troops and solve the army all the way, so that it is more stable. Then after solving the army all the way, they will seek to pursue another one. Road officers and soldiers.
After Xiao Tianjian figured this out, he immediately nodded and said, "Li Xin, you gave me a reminder this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would really be greedy this time! In this case, let's listen to you. Let's concentrate our forces all the way and talk about the rest of the way!"
Li Xin was very gratified after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words. At this point, he appreciated Xiao Tianjian's style very much, that is, he is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates and admitting his own mistakes, which is also the reason why these military generals admire Xiao Tianjian and are willing to serve him.
"So, according to the commander-in-chief's opinion, shall we concentrate our forces to eat the Marco Department first, or concentrate our troops to rush to Yanggu to block Sun Chuanting's headquarters?" Li Xin then immediately asked Xiao Tianjian. In this regard, he will listen to Xiao Tianjian's opinion. Only when he hits Xiao Tianjian has the right to make a decision.
"Don't think about this. Hit Sun Chuanding and Wu Sangui all the way. Let's talk about it later!" Xiao Tianjian didn't hesitate at all about this matter, even if he said.
In Xiao Tianjian's mind, Marco is only a supporting role in this battle, and Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui are his real goals to deal with. First of all, at present, in the court, except for Hong Chengchou, I'm afraid that even Sun Chuanting is the most good at using troops. Sun Chuanting is a man who is not small and will be the one who will complete the world in the future. It's an important resistance, and Wu Sangui goes without saying that Wu Sangui is the strongest in addition to his ancestors' birthday. If he can't solve him this time, then who knows whether this man will turn to the darman and be the lackey of the darters once he escapes back to Shanhaiguan, so these two are the only him. The object of attention, as for Marco! It's not too late to clean him up later!
Immediately, the staff began to modify the battle plan according to Xiao Tianjian's requirements, and conveyed the order after getting Xiao Tianjian's affirmation.
It turned out that the main force in Nanle County was all uprooted at this time. As for the remaining people who helped the people and some reserve camps, they were immediately assigned to Nanle County, and some of them were ordered to rush to Damingfu at night to strengthen the defensive force in Damingfu, in case that after the main force was evacuated, Damingfu Because the army is empty, it will be taken by Marco.
So the army began to move according to the order. One by one, one immediately pulled up the camp and set up the camp. A team began to leave Nanle County and rushed to Yanggu County at the speed of the army.
While Xiao Tianjian urgently mobilized troops and horses to Yanggu County, Sun Chuanting also led tens of thousands of troops and was already marching towards Yanggu County.
For this peace between the court and the construction of slaves, Sun Chuanting can be said to be full of dissatisfaction. He felt that although there were reasons for the situation, the peace with the peace with the slaves was finally a shame of the Ming Dynasty. The huge Liaodong was cut off to the slaves, and even in order to achieve the purpose of the peace, even Jinzhou City No, so when Sun Chuanting learned the news, he immediately wrote a note and reported to the court that Li Chen could not make peace with Jiannu, and impeached Chen Xinjia for doing so as a traitor, and asked the emperor to severely punish Chen Xinjia.
Chen Xinjia is actually very wronged. Although he is the main member of the host of this peace conference, after all, the matter of peace is the meaning of the emperor. He is just doing things according to Chongzhen's will, but after this matter is completed, he has become the target of public criticism, and the ministers dare not take the spearhead. He pointed to Chongzhen, but he pointed the finger at him, so that now he has become a street mouse in the capital. Everyone scolds him. In the middle of the night, there are many people who throw feces into his yard, and the bullets of the government and opposition fly into the capital like snowflakes, making Chen Xinjia's reputation plummet.
Although there are many bullets against Chen Xinjia, Chongzhen also knew that the black pot was carried by Chen Xinjia, so he did not really listen to the opinions of the ministers and arrested Chen Xinjia. On the contrary, it was because Chen Xinjia had done this matter and trusted Chen Xinjia more, which made Chen Xinjia a little more relieved.
However, Sun Chuanting was extremely angry about this. He almost wanted to resign and not go home. For this reason, he also wrote a resignation in November and asked for resignation. However, Chongzhen is now at the time of employing people, and he also knows that Sun Chuanting is a capable minister. Although he could not defeat Xing Tianjun in Funan and lost Damingfu and Zhangdefu, but After all, he also knew that the number of soldiers and horses under Sun Chuanting's command was not large, and they were all newly recruited soldiers and horses. The combat effectiveness was very poor, and it was understandable that he could not defeat the fierce Xing Tianjun. Therefore, he denied the resignation proposed by Sun Chuanting, and issued a decree to appease Sun Chuanting, so that Sun Chuanting continued to supervise the division against Xing Tianjun. March and suppress.
Sun Chuanting had no choice but to stay and continue to work. However, after the border army in the north went south, he found that he could not immediately subdue these proud soldiers outside the customs. On the one hand, he wanted to suppress them with Shang Fang's sword, but he did not dare to be too harsh on them. After all, like Wu Sangui and Marco. The generals, even the emperors of the imperial court, dare not take what to do with them easily. Once they are forced to do it too urgently, these proud and tough generals will make a big deal with him. In the end, the court will still want to pleadge a civil official like him, but it can't help these military generals who hold heavy soldiers.
So after meeting with Wu Sangui and others, Sun Chuanting was both soft and hard, and took all means to deal with them. Finally, he let these people obey his orders and followed him to Jiningzhou.
The generals outside the customs really don't pay attention to Sun Chuanting. After going south, they used food as an excuse along the way. They often plundered the place, robbed property and even women for them to enjoy. The military discipline was very corrupted, and the local people suffered another disaster for this, and all the officers and soldiers scolded. Although Sun Chuanting has also received the news many times, he can only meet with Wu Sangui and other generals several times, asking them to restrain their men and don't do this again. Otherwise, they will lose the hearts of the people and force more people to fall to the criminal thief.
However, for Sun Chuanting's warning, the generals can be said to be contrary to yang and yin. On the surface, they said that they would restrain their subordinates, but in essence, how to do it? Although Sun Chuanting was angry, he was helpless. He did not dare to really invite Shangfang's sword and chop these arrogant generals, so I can only open my eyes and close my eyes and find a way to deal with them in the future.
