Chongzhen Chat Group

"Your Majesty, the disaster of building captives is becoming more and more serious. If it is delayed for a long time, it will be more difficult to deal with. I have to think about it day and night. I have to have a strategy. As long as it is strictly implemented, given time, the disaster of building captives can be eradicated." After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he He took out a memorial, bowed and held it out with both hands. When the servants on the side saw it, they quickly forwarded it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Hu Guang felt happy after hearing this, nodded in response, and was ready to see his specific strategy.

Speaking of which, he also wondered why the original Emperor Chongzhen was so naive and easily deceived. Why did he believe it after just five years of Ping Liao? Don’t have a plan or anything? Otherwise, we can at least see how feasible it is and whether Yuan Chonghuan is proceeding as planned when he takes office. For the sake of confidentiality, I, the emperor, have a look. Is there any problem?

Hu Guang sighed in his heart as he thought about it, then stopped caring about the past and looked at the memorial in front of him. But when he took a look, his brows immediately wrinkled.

Sun Chengzong had been observing the emperor's expression. Seeing this, he felt a little cold in his heart. He understood that the emperor seemed dissatisfied, and he was afraid that there was something he couldn't understand. He quickly said: "The strength of Jianlu lies in field battles, and the strength of our army is The director's strength lies in defending the city. There is a saying in the art of war: avoid the enemy's strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses. That's why I came up with this strategy. If you use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, you will definitely be able to defeat the captives and regain Liaodong!"

When he finished speaking, Hu Guang had already read the contents of the memorial, casually put the memorial on the royal table, shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!"

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard that the young emperor so firmly denied the strategy he had worked out so hard. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience and a lot of courage, so he asked in a deep voice: "I wonder what your majesty means when you say something inappropriate?"

Hu Guangneng could hear a trace of dissatisfaction in Sun Chengzong's words, so he smiled slightly and said: "Sun Qing's strategy is to build the city from the direction of Jinzhou and extend it to the hinterland of Liaodong to defeat the built captives, right?"

"Of course!" Sun Chengzong nodded immediately, and then explained confidently: "In this way, the Ming Dynasty can take advantage of the defense of the city. If the Jianlu want to stop this strategy, they can only attack the city at the cost of human lives! You can attack the city. One thing happens to be Jianlu's weak point. If he wants to capture the Ming Dynasty, hehe, Your Majesty, my old minister said Jianlu will suffer heavy casualties!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the young Emperor Chongzhen confidently, hoping to see the emperor's expression of thoughtfulness or sudden enlightenment.

But he was disappointed. The emperor's expression did not change at all. He still smiled, or it could be said that he asked confidently: "Does Sun Qing know how much food it will cost the court to build a city and equip it with troops?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong smiled slightly in his heart, and it was his turn to show the look of someone who knew you would say this before, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the income obtained by the imperial court from the Shanxi merchants who were confiscated by the captives was not just used for the war against the captives?" According to a rough estimate, it should be able to support the veteran to build the city to Shenyang."

Haha, when Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, the kind of speechless smile. This old man Sun actually cares about his unobtained start-up capital. He is really caring.

Although he thought so, he was not angry. He just shook his head and said, "Sun Qing, no, I have great use for that money!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong suddenly became a little anxious, and he quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the establishment of captives is a serious problem for our Ming Dynasty. What else could be more important than this? I sincerely ask your Majesty to put state affairs first and distinguish priorities... "

"Sun Qing doesn't need to say more. I know the priorities of the matter. Your strategy, even if I allocate money and food to you, is useless!" Hu Guang shook his head and rejected it again without hesitation.

Sun Chengzong's face turned a little dark. He felt that the emperor's words were a bit arbitrary. After all, he has been leading troops for many years. He is already very old and has eaten more salt than you have eaten. Yet he still vetoes his own strategy. He said a little unconvinced: "Your Majesty, I dare not say this." I agree. The most important thing in my strategy is money and food. If your Majesty can solve this problem, I believe that building captives will not be a problem!"

"Haha!" Hu Guang shook his head and said with a smile, "Then I ask you, will Jianlu watch you build the city and then attack?"

After asking this question, he immediately emphasized in a decisive tone: "If I were the slave chief Huang Taiji, I would let you build the city first and then lead the army to attack it in the middle. This would not only allow you to achieve your goal, but also waste your time." Money and food!”

Unexpectedly, when Sun Chengzong heard this, he immediately cheered up and said: "With my understanding of the slave chief, he will definitely do this. Therefore, I slowly repaired it in the first half of the process, and suddenly accelerated the construction speed when it was about to reach the halfway point, allowing the slave chief to We are caught off guard and cannot gather our troops to come. In this way, the city is completed!"

Having said this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a little proud. After all, the emperor was still young and wanted to find flaws in his own strategy. Haha, how could he not have considered it?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen still shook his head, looked into Sun Chengzong's eyes and asked: "So, will Jianlu definitely attack the city? If I were the slave chief Taiji, leading the army, besieging the city and digging deep trenches, I would besiege but not attack, and I would be trapped." What can we do to defend the army?"

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong replied without hesitation: "I will send reinforcements immediately to relieve the siege!"

"I dare to ask Sun Qing, which army in Ming Dynasty can defeat the main force of Jianlu in a field battle?" Emperor Chongzhen leaned his upper body forward slightly and stared into Sun Chengzong's eyes.

When Sun Chengzong asked, he replied without hesitation: "I should choose Guan Ning as an elite..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped, feeling a little stupid. He had previously considered building captives to cause trouble. When the time came, he would send reinforcements and attack from front to back with the defenders in the city, hoping to win.

But now the emperor's assumption is to build captives to trap the city, besiege it but not attack it, and use its main force to block reinforcements. In this way, as long as Sun Chengzong did not open his eyes and tell lies, he would not be able to say that the army could defeat the main force of the Jianlu.

If this was really the case, how could the Ming Dynasty allow the Jianlu to ravage the capital, and how could the emperor send the Qin army away and take risks to attract the Jianlu to attack the city and consume its troops...

Seeing Sun Chengzong staying there, Emperor Chongzhen added another blow and said: "The method of slow in front and fast in back may succeed the first time, but what about the second time and the third time? If there is no field battle, we can resist Jianlu." I can tell you that Sun Qing’s strategy of building a strong army is just a cocoon of self-defense and only a waste of the Ming Dynasty’s national power!”

Sun Chengzong remained silent and silent. His ears were filled with Emperor Chongzhen's words, which seemed to be as loud as thunder, and finally condensed into one sentence that echoed in his ears.

"You are trapped in a cocoon, you are trapped in a cocoon..."

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Sun Chengzong had been in a daze, and a dignified old minister was rude in front of the emperor. It seemed that the blow was a bit big, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Sorry for the late update of Chapter 2, but I have another trip to visit relatives tomorrow. Updates should be as stable as possible. What I remember is that I still need another chapter.
