Huang Taiji led the Jiannu army to attack Jinzhou. The situation seemed to be in danger, but in the eyes of the cabinet, it was just a war thousands of miles away. In terms of harm, it was better to mess around with the emperor outside.

Jinzhou City is high and deep, with sufficient soldiers and enough food. It is not easy for Jiannu to defeat him. Even if Jinzhou is lost, there are Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and Jiannu will be in great difficulty.

But the emperor who was outside was able to make trouble with the "foundation" of the Ming Dynasty!

Huang Liji personally wrote a memorial, and together with the Liaoxi military documents, he ordered people to take a fast horse and rushed to northern Shaanxi for 600 miles. The emperor asked the emperor to set off and return to Beijing immediately.

Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou were both summoned to the palace of Emperor Fushicheng. On the table in front of Zhu Youjian, in addition to the cabinet memorials, there were secret reports from the Jinyiwei from western Liaoning. At the same time, the cabinet memorials were sent to the fields from Liaodong.

Ergeng also sent someone to send back the secret report of Jiannu's military intelligence and the secret memorial of the Liaodong Governor Sun Chuanting.

"Two my dear friends, how should we deal with this matter?" Zhu Youjian asked first to let the cabinet memorial be read.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said, "The army of Jiannu besieged Jinzhou with tens of thousands of troops. With the strength of the Liaoxi Army, I am afraid that it will not be able to retreat to the enemy. I am willing to lead the imperial guards to western Liaoning to help the Liao army repel Jiannu."

After practicing for so long, the Imperial Guards have already developed combat power after the battle to suppress bandits. However, how strong is the combat power and whether they are Jiannu's opponents still need to be tested on the battlefield. I heard that Jiannu invaded Jinzhou

, Lu Xiangsheng was quite eager to try.

Zhu Youjian shook his head: "No, it's not time to use the Imperial Guards yet."

Lu Xiangsheng immediately understood and remembered the plan to eliminate Jiannu when Zhu Youjian appointed him as the Xiyuan army envoy. The Imperial Guard was the killer weapon to annihilate Jiannu and regain Liaodong. It cannot be exposed at the moment.

strength.

"I understand, but where is Jinzhou?"

Hong Chengchou interrupted Lu Xiangsheng with a smile: "The key to the problem now is not Jinzhou, but what do the cabinet masters in the cabinet want?"

"Cabinet?" Lu Xiangsheng was stunned. At first, he only considered whether he should reinforce Jinzhou from a military perspective, and did not think about anything else.

Hong Chengchou said: "Jiannu just sent troops, and the cabinet urged His Majesty to return to Beijing, as if Jiannu would immediately capture Jinzhou and attack Shanhaiguan. Could it be that the defensive line of Ningjinguan is so weak?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head slightly: "How is it possible? How could the Ningjin defense line, which the imperial court spent more than ten years to build in western Liaoning every year? "

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized that the cabinet was not worried about whether Jinzhou would be lost. The real purpose was to ask the emperor to return to Beijing!

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng understood, Hong Chengchou smiled slightly and turned to Zhu Youjian and said, "Your Majesty, Yansui Town has just been established, rural reform is still underway, recruitment of new recruits has not yet begun, and northern Shaanxi still needs His Majesty to be in charge. Never make a decision on the war in western Liaoning.

And shaken."

Since the beginning, Hong Chengchou was "coerced" to join the emperor, now he has taken into consideration the great cause of the future. As for the interests of the gentry class, what is it?

Zhu Youjian nodded: "Your dear is right. Jinzhou has Sun Chuanting, the governor of Liaoxi, and Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jizhou, inside the pass. Where is the Ningjin defense line so easy to break? Let's take a look at Governor Sun's secret memorial."

As he said that, Wang Chengen asked Sun Chuanting's memorial to the two of them.

The reason why Zhu Youjian was so confident was due to the secret memorial sent by Sun Chuanting through the Jinyiwei system. In the secret memorial, Sun Chuanting proposed his own strategy to consume the strength of Jiannu with Jinzhou City and regard the Ningjin defense line as Jiannu.

Sun Chuanting showed strong confidence in his memorials.

"Governor Sun is very proud, but he just doesn't know if the Liaoxi soldiers are worth using?" Lu Xiangsheng said with some concern. Lu Xiangsheng was very worried about the combat power of the border army.

Hong Chengchou did not speak because he was as worried as Lu Xiangsheng. Zhu Youjian and the Imperial Guards did not return to the capital, but it did not mean that they ignored Jinzhou. Jizhou and Xuanda still had more than 100,000 troops, and reinforcements that could be drawn

Some are. However, Sun Chuanting actually didn't want reinforcements. If he had not had absolute confidence, he would be too arrogant.

Zhu Youjian was also a little worried, but he still insisted on saying, "Since Governor Sun said that, I must be absolutely sure."

Without doubting the employment of people, Zhu Youjian did not do it in the last life. Whether it was Sun Chuanting or Hong Chengchou in front of him, he repeatedly urged him to fight the enemy to the decisive battle, but he was defeated and lost his troops. In this life, Zhu Youjian had already reflected on himself and knew that

I don’t know how to fight, so I decided to give these ministers whom I value enough trust and never control the command from a remote control!

Of course, there are other reasons why Zhu Youjian maintains confidence in Sun Chuanting, that is, Sun Chuanting's actions in the past few months as governor of Liaoxi.

Before Sun Chuanting took office in western Liaoning, there had just been a military chaos in Ningyuan. Sichuan soldiers and Huguang soldiers caused trouble for four months due to shortage of money. Thirteen battalions responded and captured Governor Bi Zisu, General Zhu Mei, General Zhang Shirong, and Promotion Officer

Officials such as Su Hanchun were tied to the watchtower.

When Sun Chuanting first arrived in Ningyuan, he announced that he would pay three monthly salary, which calmed down the Ningyuan mutiny. Then Sun Chuanting lured Zhang Zhengchao, Zhang Enshun and other leaders who were the first to rebel. The guerrilla generals killed fifteen people! With tough and iron-blooded methods,

It scared nearly 100,000 Liao soldiers.

When ordinary soldiers received the salary, they naturally would not cause trouble again. The generals were afraid of Sun Chuanting's methods and were all trembling. As soon as Sun Chuanting arrived in western Liaoning, his prestige was established.

Next, Sun Chuanting conveyed the imperial decree, and the emperor allocated tens of thousands of acres of imperial farms in the capital to accommodate Liao army generals. Generals above the Liaoxi Army must send their families to the capital to resettle to relieve the generals' worries.

Of course, in the eyes of those who are interested, this is the court that wants to take the families of Liaoxi generals as hostages, and those Liaoxi generals will definitely not want to.

On the contrary, the generals were all excited and rushed to send their families to the capital.

In western Liaoning, it was the front line of fighting with Jiannu. The city would be destroyed at any time and the family would be in danger at any time. However, the capital was the capital of the Ming Dynasty. How could its prosperity be compared to the remote villages like western Liaoning?

These generals dare not think about sending their families to the capital to enjoy their happiness, because they could not buy a farmhouse in the capital.

Now, the emperor gives them free manor houses and houses, and their descendants have become people from the capital in the future. Moreover, Zhu Youjian also issued a grace order. The nephews of generals and above can be admitted to the Imperial College for study, and after graduation, they can be awarded official positions.

This is simply a great grace!

As for the family members who were sent to the capital as hostages, please, I didn’t think about surrendering to Jiannu!

Repaying money for money, executing mutiny officers, and relocating the families of Liao generals, these three things brought great prestige to Sun Chuanting. Liao generals obeyed him and dared not disobey him.

Of course, at this time, western Liaoning was far from forming the warlord group that was more than ten years later in the previous life. Zu Dashou, who had a huge strength in western Liaoning in the previous life, is now just an ordinary general, and Wu Xiang is just a commander.

There are many generals who are above them.

Jiannu had not yet entered the pass and invaded, nor had he experienced the defeat of Daling River. The strength of the Liaoxi soldiers was still there, and the majesty of the imperial court was still there. This is also the reason why Sun Chuanting was able to control the generals in western Liaoxi in just a few months.

Next, Sun Chuanting recruited soldiers from all over Liaoxi and formed a governor's battalion. A total of 5,000 cavalry were recruited, led by Cao Wenzhao He Kegang, equipped with armored muskets, and practiced day and night, and it seemed that it had formed combat power. And this was also Sun Chuanting
