"Yiyuankou...Father, the slave thieves really want to attack Shanhaiguan!" Zhao Guangyuan, who is in his thirties and has a strong body and a strong body, stretched out a thick and long finger and knocked on Shanhaiguan on the map.

After knocking on the door, he said to Zhao Shujiao, "Once the gate of Yiyuan is breached by slave thieves, the back of Shanhaiguan will be in danger. We must rush to save it!"

"Why save? We only have 4,000 town bids and 1,000 servants at hand. How can we send them out right after the war starts?"

As soon as Zhao Guangyuan finished speaking, his brother Zhao Guangrong entered the room, and as soon as he entered, he opposed his brother.

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at his half-brother. This guy was born in a gentle manner. If he didn't get a little sunshine, he would be a white-faced scholar. Moreover, he had a lot of intestines in his belly, and he didn't look like a murderer.

"Second brother," Zhao Guangyuan said angrily, "the entrance to the righteous courtyard is our defense zone. Now it is attacked by slaves and thieves. If we don't save it, who can? If the entrance to the righteous courtyard is lost and the higher ups blame it, how can we, father and son, tolerate it?"

?”

"You can ask Governor Yuan of western Liaoning to send troops," Zhao Guangrong said. "There are currently nearly 46,000 actual troops in western Liaoning. The defense areas are only Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, and Juehua Island. Moreover, it is still early autumn, and the sea is not frozen. Juehua

The island was not attacked by Jiannu at all, so Governor Yuan actually only had to defend Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. Where was the need for 46,000 troops? The troops could be divided into Lengkou, Jielingkou, and Yiyuankou to defend the Great Wall border wall.

"

During this period, with the efforts of Sun Chengzong and some Donglin Party members, the Yanyun Yamen was basically controlled by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Kaizhong Law was partially implemented. Although it could not completely replace Liao's salary, it also allowed Yuan Chonghuan of western Liaoning to

With plenty of money, he was able to recruit troops and expand his army in western Liaoning.

By the beginning of July in the first year of Chongzhen, the actual number of the Liaoxi Army under Yuan Chonghuan had reached nearly 46,000 (the book number was 80,000). They were well-equipped and well-trained, and their strength far exceeded that of the Jizhen Army.

The government army and the Beijing camp army!

However, such a large number of elite soldiers were placed on the line from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan in eastern Liaoxi where it was unlikely to be attacked by Hou Jin and there was no way to launch an attack by Hou Jin.

Although this kind of deployment is much stronger than the previous Long Snake Formation with more than 60,000 actual troops deployed from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, it is still a serious waste of troops.

So when the army of the Hou Jin Dynasty appeared outside the border wall of Jizhou Town, the Ming army was faced with the dilemma that the Liaoxi army had nothing to do, while the more than 30,000 weak soldiers of Ji Town had to defend the 700-800-mile Great Wall defense line...

...

"Second brother, what are you talking about?" Zhao Guangyuan glared at his brother, "Do you think our father is the governor of Jiliao? Can he mobilize Governor Yuan's troops? Even the governor of Jiliao can't control the governor of Liaodong now.

Soldiers!"

The current governor of Jiliao is still Wang Zhichen, currently stationed in Yongping Mansion. This Wang Zhichen is also very depressed now, because Zhu Youjian severely reduced his power after he came to power. On the one hand, he appointed Liaodong Manager (Yuan Keli),

He was in charge of the military affairs of Denglai, Liaonan, Tianjin and other places; on the one hand, he appointed Yuan Chonghuan as the governor of Liaodong and took charge of the military affairs of western Liaoning. There was only one Jizhou town left for Wang Zhichen, and there was also a general soldier of Jizhen to co-manage with him.

What is even more depressing is that there is no real land in Jizhou Town, and Wang Zhichen cannot control the Shuntian and Yongping mansions, so Wang Zhichen is actually a short-term governor who is just messing around.

The reason why Zhu Youjian made such an arrangement was that he wanted to personally direct the military affairs of Jiliao when the changes occurred in the second year of Chongzhen - he estimated that he should have already taken care of the two solid military towns of Datong and Xuanfu by then.

, there should have been 12,000 to 3,000 knights in front of the tent, and it was time for Sun Yuanhua to bring foreign generals, foreign soldiers and artillery back to Beijing... But I didn't expect that Huang Taiji did not follow the "script" and sent troops a year ahead of schedule.

Come visit the Great Wall of Jizhou Town more often!

This is a bit of a mess!

"This is easy to handle!" Zhao Guangrong said, "I will accompany my father to Yongping and ask Inspector Wang to bring Yuan Futai to Yongping. The three parties will meet to discuss a defensive strategy and then submit it to the Ministry of War.

.”

Zhao Guangyuan thought for a while and said: "We have to send troops... How many defenders of Yiyuan are so eloquent? If it is broken by Jiannu, our responsibility will be huge!"

Jizhou Town is a "black pot town" where the number of soldiers is small and the power is large!

The two brothers Zhao Guangyuan and Zhao Guangrong had finished saying what they needed to say, and both turned their attention to Zhao Lejiao.

Zhao Shujiao sighed: "Let's work separately... Second brother, you accompany me to Yongping. Boss, you stay and mobilize troops. First send 1,000 people to Xifengkou, and then 1,000 people to Han'er."

Zhuang. You personally lead the remaining 3,000 people and march along the Great Wall towards Yiyuankou."

After the assignment was completed, Zhao led the teaching and took his son Zhao Guangrong out of the Santun camp and galloped towards Lulong, the capital of Yongping. Not long after he arrived at Lulong, he arrived at the Supervisor's Yamen located in Lulong City, only to find that Yuan Chonghuan had already

Arriving in one step, he was in the middle hall of the governor's office and he and the governor Wang Zhichen were discussing the military situation around the map.

Probably because the discussion was at a critical moment, even Zhao Zhijiao arrived, and the two of them did not stop to greet him. Seeing General Zhao coming in, Wang Zhichen smiled and waved to him: "General Zhao, you are here at the right time, Yuan

Element has just put forward a general plan, you should also add it together."

Zhao Lijiao saluted the two civil servants, and then hurried forward to the desk covered with maps. He glanced at the map and found that the area on the map was west of Shanhaiguan and east of Funing Acropolis.

There are many chess pieces in black and white.

"Yuan Futai," Zhao Shujiao looked at the chess pieces on the map, "do you want to let the slave thieves enter the Yiyuan entrance and then fight with them in Shanhaiguan?"

Yuan Chonghuan nodded and said with a smile: "Xilong, do you think this strategy can be successful? Now Liaoxi can dispatch 40,000 elite soldiers, and Inspector Wang has four to five thousand supervisors. How many people do you have on hand? Make up 50,000 soldiers.

Not a big problem, right?"

Zhao Shujiao thought for a while and said: "Fifty thousand people can gather it together...but can only fifty thousand people defeat the slave thieves?"

"Yes!" Yuan Chonghuan nodded, looking confident, "Shanhaiguan is our territory. We have Funing Acropolis, Funing County, Shanhaiguan City, Tu'er Mountain, and many fortress villages and towns to rely on, and we can

With the sea at its back.”

"Futai wants to form an array with its back to the sea?" Zhao Shujiao asked, looking at the chess pieces on the map.

"Yes!" Yuan Chonghuan said, "The terrain inside Shanhaiguan is like a big pocket. We guard Shanhaiguan on one end and Funing Guard, Funing County and Tu'er Mountain on the other. The slave thieves cannot get out and can only stay with us in the big pocket.

A fight to the death in the pocket! And our people can't escape... Then I will lead 8,000 people to guard Shanhaiguan, the supervisor will lead 10,000 people to guard Tu'er Mountain, Funing Guard, and Funing County, and you will lead 32,000 soldiers

Arrange with your back to the sea and fight Jiannu!"

This is really a big plan to deceive others first!

Yuan Chonghuan wanted to drive the elite soldiers of western Liaoning under his command into a big pocket with no way out, and fight with the Houjin soldiers who broke in from the entrance of Yiyuan!

"Can 32,000 people fight against the army of Jiannu?" Zhao Lijiao was still a little doubtful!

"You can fight!" Wang Zhichen said, "Yuan Yuan Yuan's tactic is to divide 32,000 elite soldiers of Liao Town into several forts to hold on, supplemented by artillery and firecrackers, and then fortify the walls and clear the country... We force the slaves to come

Fight instead of fighting in the wilderness with slaves and thieves."

Seems interesting!

Yuan Chonghuan added: "Now the Emperor is organizing troops in Datong, and he already has 20,000 cavalry... As long as we can fight the slave thieves in Shanhaiguan, the Emperor will definitely lead the cavalry to rescue us. With the Emperor

With 20,000 cavalry, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to defeat the slave bandits?”

Zhao Shujiao glanced at Yuan Chonghuan and said in his heart: You have even plotted against the emperor!

"Can we make the decision in this matter?" Zhao led the teacher and asked, "Should we report it to the Ministry of War?"

"It has been reported!" Yuan Chonghuan said, "Supervisor Wang and I jointly submitted the memorial, and the memorial has been sent out... However, since we are generals, we still have this bit of autonomy!"

Wang Zhichen also nodded: "Xilong, the border wall of Jizhou Town is too long. It is impossible to defend the entrance to the division of troops. Yuan Yuanyu's method has a greater chance of winning... You might as well withdraw the troops at Yiyuankou.
Chapter completed!
