Jiang Wan was very willing to answer Sun Chuanting's questions and resolve his doubts.
The Sun Chuanting in front of him actually had the same temperament as Lu Xiangsheng. It was difficult for Jiang Wan to describe what kind of temperament he had. It was probably because the Ming Dynasty used civility to control military affairs. Whenever a civilian leader reaches this position, he has the character of a scholar and the ruthlessness of a military man.
When they are blended together, they naturally have this kind of temperament.
Jiang Wan didn't know if he had the same temperament as Sun Chuanting, but he felt that he should have it too.
Lu Xiangsheng died before he could have a deep friendship with him. But in front of him, Sun Chuanting heard that he besieged Liaoyang and took the initiative to lead his army. Obviously, he was also a person who could have a deep friendship with him.
As long as the other party doesn't point fingers at his Liaodong Dusi, he is willing to get along well with him.
He explained his plan to divide his troops into two groups. The Eastern Route Army in Phoenix City was mainly to cooperate with the operations of his main army, put pressure on the Houjin side and contain the opponent, while the Liaoyang side was to move as quickly as possible.
Resolve the battle.
In Jiang Wan's plan, there was no place for Sun Chuanting, but now that Sun Chuanting is here, this is obviously a good thing for the entire Liaodong capital.
Sun Chuanting was still a little worried about the strength of the Eastern Route Army.
"Master Jiang's Eastern Route Army of Liaodong Dusi has less than 10,000 people, and some of them have to be left behind. How many troops and horses can be used? If they fail, the entire war situation will be affected!"
"The commander of the East Route Army is a general I conquered in Shaanxi. His name is Li Zicheng. He fights bravely and has a careful mind. He is brave and strategic. He knows what he should and should not do, and he controls the front line there.
I feel relieved if I leave it to him!"
"oh!"
Sun Chuanting said oh, but changed the subject, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes: "Liaoyang is a foregone conclusion, are you sure you don't need my help?"
"Daishan has decided to surrender, and it will probably happen within the next day or two!" Jiang Wan looked at the other party: "However, the people in Liaoyang City have been killed and injured, and the city has almost become a ruin. If you want to restore the original state of Liaoyang City,
Such a grand occasion, I'm afraid that in addition to garrisoning troops, many people from Ming Dynasty will also have to be moved here!"
He smiled and said: "If Mr. Sun is interested, I, the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong, will not interfere in this matter. After accepting the surrender, I can immediately withdraw my troops and return to Kaizhou, Liaoyang and Xiguan. I won't bother Mr. Sun!"
"Withdrawal?"
Sun Chuanting was stunned. It was obvious that this topic was something he had not thought of: "Could it be that Mr. Jiang's goal is just this Liaoyang? With such a good situation, why don't we join forces and push it forward?"
"Let's wait until this autumn to discuss this matter!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "It's not that I didn't expect to expand the results of the battle. However, whether it is food, ordnance, or this unexpected war, our Liaodong Commandery is actually passive.
Yes, if we really want to expand the results of the war, our entire Liaodong Division will have to work hard for this war. Master Sun, the Liaodong Division’s money and food are self-raised, which delays the season. In autumn and winter, our Liaodong Division will have more than ten people.
How can we survive with ten thousand people!”
Sun Chuanting fell silent. What the other party said was not unreasonable. You have to eat this meal one bite at a time. The Ming Dynasty has been suffering from repeated defeats under the invasion of the Tartars. It has been supported for so long. It doesn't matter if it persists for another year and a half.
Maybe one victory can silence the Tatars, but that would be too unrealistic.
However, seeing such a good situation, Jiang Wan insisted on withdrawing his troops, and he always felt a little unwilling in his heart.
When he arrived at Xiguan, except for a battle with a group of Tartar cavalry, he had no achievements. What was even more embarrassing was that although he claimed to have defeated the opponent in this battle, no one knew how his troops were damaged.
, isn’t he still clear in his heart?
Compared with such a tragic victory, compared with Jiang Wan's almost cheating victory, it was really frustrating and infuriating.
"Then what if I tentatively send out troops after I have established a foothold?" He looked at Jiang Wan and said, "Can the soldiers and horses of Liaodong Dusi, or these firearms, be used by my army?"
Jiang Wan smiled slightly, but said nothing.
Sun Chuanting's face was a little stiff, and the other party's attitude had already been explained.
"I will report this matter to the court!" he said word for word.
"Your Majesty has allowed me, the Liaodong Commandery, to act expediently!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "Actually, although our Liaodong Commandery is under the control of Mr. Sun, if I feel that Mr. Sun's order does not take advantage of the survival and development of our Liaodong Commandery, then this order
I won’t listen!”
He glanced at Sun Chuanting's waist: "Your Majesty also gave me the Shangfang Sword!"
By this point, the topic had become a little stiff, but Sun Chuanting also seemed to understand Jiang Wan's bottom line - this man was a confidant of the emperor and was willing to fight the Tatars, but he only had his little territory and soldiers in mind.
Ma, I'm afraid he doesn't have any great ambitions.
I'm afraid this person has never thought about going directly to Huanglong.
What a pity!
He sighed slightly in his heart. This person was indeed capable, but the emperor's favor made him short-sighted and domineering. Otherwise, this person would really be his Sun Chuanting's helper in Liaodong.
Even if sometimes this assistant may not be so obedient, it is still better than a group of obedient but useless wastes.
"Let's talk about Liaoyang!"
Once he had the understanding in his heart, Sun Chuanting immediately became free and easy. Since Jiang Wan didn't want Liaoyang, he would definitely not be polite. As for things like garrisoning troops and relocating refugees, it would naturally not be difficult for him.
"Three days!"
Jiang Wan pondered for a moment: "In three days, I will withdraw my troops from Liaoyang. You can lead the army to station in Liaoyang. I will also leave Yaozhou to you, but Kaizhou will be returned to my Liaodong capital. After this battle, my Liaodong capital
You can’t waste your money and gain nothing!”
"You call it raising troops and mobilizing people, not laboring people and wasting money!" Sun Chuanting laughed: "Didn't your teacher teach you how to use words back then?"
Jiang Wan looked at Sun Chuanting with a strange expression. Ever since Sun Chuanting came in, he had been facing each other head-to-head without losing the slightest advantage. But at this moment, he really felt that he was despised by the other party.
Well, he is a guy with a scholar background, and a guy with the same background as a Jinshi, let's not talk about such a topic that hurts Marshal Jiang's face.
"Okay!" Sun Chuanting smiled: "The last question is, how will Daishan surrender? What do you plan to do with these surrendered soldiers? Also, Daishan himself has captured Tartar Baylor. This is the first time in the Ming Dynasty. This kind of news should be
Let the imperial court know, and the people of the world should be proud and proud!"
"I won't bother Mr. Sun about this. I have my own arrangements!"
Jiang Wan gave Sun Chuanting a deep look: "Master Sun, just wait until I finish my work and come to take over Liaoyang!"
