Chapter 511 Sun Chuanting is out of prison

The Ministry of Justice Prison, Tianzi Cell.

It is dark and damp, and the lights are dark, illuminating the mottled walls.

Through the wooden fence made of thick round wood, you can clearly see the only prisoner inside. He was wearing a prison robe with no visible background, and his long gray hair covered his entire face, unable to see his face, and even less how old he was? But he was tall and even sitting there, he still stood straight, with a power that was inviolable.

In front of him was a square table that was one foot high, with all kinds of documents placed on it. Some had seen it, some had not been opened, but all were neatly arranged. He sat there, picked up one from time to time, and after seeing it, he lowered it gently, his brows were always frowning.

If you look closer, you will find that he is only about fifty years old, with snow-white temples and long beards as straight as ink. However, his cheeks are deeply sunken inward, and his face is full of resentment, as if he is very dissatisfied with everything in this world. Only those eyes are bright and beautiful, revealing a terrifying light.

With a light sound, the heavy chains were opened.

Chen Xinjia waved his hand, and the prison guard bowed and left in a hurry. He stood outside the prison for a long time, staring at the man in the prison, but never walked in.

The man in the prison sighed silently and said calmly: "Ministry of War, are you afraid that this place will be dirty and dirty your feet? You have been wandering outside for a long time and are reluctant to come in and chat."

Chen Xinjia snorted, stepped into the prison, and said, "Sun Baigu, it seems that the prison disaster in the past two years has never changed your bad temper. Have you never thought about why you fell into this situation?"

Chuanting died, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed! This person in prison was Sun Chuanting, who was known as the last good general of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting smiled faintly and said, "Only by keeping the original intention in mind can you always do it. If I change my temper, then will it still be my Sun Chuanting?"

Chen Xinjia frowned slightly, waved his sleeves, bent his knees and sat upright, facing Sun Chuanting across the table. "Have you seen it?"

Sun Chuanting nodded softly, "I've seen it for eight out of ten."

"In the Central Plains, how likely is our army to win?"

"At most 30%."

Chen Xinjia's face changed slightly, "So low?"

Sun Chuanting sighed softly and said, "As the commander, Yang Wenyue is not only talented in leading troops, but he knows nothing but face. He easily sent troops to Luoyang, not only to cause him to suffer a crushing defeat, but also transferred Kaifeng defenders out of the city. Currently, there are only a few thousand left-behind soldiers in Kaifeng City, and the others are newly recruited local tyrants. Although Chen Yongfu, a good general, can only defend himself. The current Kaifeng City can only do restraint. If you want to defeat the thieves, you can only rely on reinforcements outside."

Chen Xinjia shook his head and said, "Even so, the total number of troops our army rescued Kaifeng is 170,000. Although the number of people is still not as good as the bandits, its combat power is stronger than them. When it comes to real fighting, it should be at least 50% of them. Do you think 30% are you a bit too high and you look at the thieves?"

Sun Chuanting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ministry of War, you climbed from the bottom to the position of Minister of War. Why are you always as arrogant as Yang Sichang and don't know the situation below at all. I'm curious how you, Minister of War, can be the Minister of War for so long?"

Chen Xinjia glared at Sun Chuanting fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Sun Baigu, Yang Ge's troops have died for many years, and the grievances of the past should be wiped out! If you feel that the quickness of verbal can make you feel comfortable in your heart, then you will complain endlessly here."

Sun Chuanting laughed and said, "Complaint, how can I not complain? If Yang Sichang hadn't slandered you to Your Majesty Jin and put me in this prison for nearly two years, how could the thieves be so rampant? The thief who ruined the country was in a high position, but now he would have accused me of complaining. Chen Xinjia, are you really shameless?"

Chen Xinjia's face turned red and he said angrily: "Sun Baigu, you can do it. After all, I am still a dignified Minister of War, and you are a prisoner. Do you really think I am a clay bodhisattva like this?"

Sun Chuanting sneered nonstop.

Chen Xinjia was furious and stood up suddenly, and walked out.

Sun Chuanting said quietly: "Chen Xinjia, you know your majesty's temperament better than me. Once you walk out of this prison, the war in the Central Plains will be in ruins, and you, the Minister of War, may be even worse than me now."

Chen Xinjia couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and was silent for a long time, and finally sat back in front of Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting stopped smiling, sat upright, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Xinjia, remember, I, Sun Chuanting, never wanted to have anything to do with you. The reason why I am willing to say this to you now is because I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Xinjia looked ugly and finally bowed slightly to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting was silent for a moment and said, "Although the troops gathered around Kaifeng at this time, there were only four main forces that could be able to fight. One was the Baoding army led by Yang Wenyue, and the current force should be 20,000. The second was the Huguang army led by Zuo Liangyu, with a number of people ranging from 50,000. The third was the Shaanxi army led by He Renlong, Li Guoqi and others, mainly He Renlong, with a number of people ranging from 30,000. The mixed army led by Tiger, with a number of people ranging from 45,000. The other Sichuan soldiers led by Kong Zhen Club, Shandong soldiers led by Liu Zeqing, Henan soldiers led by Xu Dingguo, and Nanjing soldiers led by Zhu Dadian, are small in strength and very scattered, and basically do not play much role. What I am right?"

Chen Xinjia was extremely surprised. After reading some documents, he had such a clear understanding of the military strength of the official army. Such skills are no longer comparable to ordinary military generals. Perhaps, perhaps there are some ways to rescue them to solve the dilemma of the Central Plains. Chen Xinjia nodded deeply and said, "It's probably that."

Sun Chuanting took a breath and said with a wry smile: "Among these four main forces, the two supervisors are mediocre and useless, and the nearly ten-yuan generals will do their own things. Seeing the 170,000 official troops gathered in Kaifeng, they will be defeated in one fell swoop. However, once the attack is blocked, the head and general of the four armies will not be eliminated, and the army cannot coordinate and advance together. It will be difficult to escape unstoppable, let alone win. What I said before is 30% of the possibility of winning is already the best."

After listening to it, Chen Xinjia remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he looked up at Sun Chuanting and said, "Is there a way to win?"
