Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 487
Sun Chuanting, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the beaming expressions of the generals with a smile. He changed his serious and dignified style and allowed everyone to talk and laugh to their heart's content. At the same time, he felt extremely relieved.

After more than a year of full preparations for this pivotal battle, under the personal deployment of the emperor, with the decision-making and logistical support of the relevant officials of the court, and under the overall command of several important ministers, the outcome will soon be decided.

According to the current momentum, as long as everything goes smoothly and there are no major omissions in the middle, a big victory can be expected, and it can even be said that annihilation of the country can be expected.

After all, they are known as the Qing Dynasty, and they took the country name in a targeted manner.

Daming is the virtue of fire, and on the opposite side there is a Qing Dynasty, using water to overcome fire, trying to get chestnuts out of fire.

It's just that the water now looks like it's going to run dry, but the fire is a fire that someone stays with all the time, constantly adding charcoal, and it burns more and more vigorously.

After everyone was immersed in joy and whispered to each other for a while, Sun Chuanting spoke again in a loud voice.

All the generals in the tent were stunned for a moment when they heard the words. After the familiar people looked at each other, they all cast their eyes on Sun Chuanting's face in unison, secretly guessing in their hearts.

"Before announcing this matter, I have something to ask the relevant people. Do the generals in the border town know why the Holy Majesty suddenly transferred you to the outside of the pass to fight against the army of the eastern captives?"

Sun Chuanting deliberately didn't announce what the news was right away, but looked at Yang Guozhu and other generals of the towns with a smile on his face, with some interesting meaning in his eyes.

Sun Chuanting's question made the border town generals either at a loss or ignorant, only a few people who guessed Zhu Youjian's intentions with extreme maliciousness pretended to be indifferent.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the Holy Majesty can transfer us out of the pass no matter what the reason is! We are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, our food and salaries are provided by the imperial court, and our official positions are also rewarded by the Holy Majesty. We should obey orders! As long as the Majesty gives orders Next, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

He Renlong with a big beard came out of the line and saluted Sun Chuanting with a big grin.

This fellow looks rough on the surface, but in fact he is extremely delicate on the inside, and usually he is most good at looking at the direction of the wind.He saw with his own eyes that the domestic thieves were wiped out, that the imperial court had trained several strong new troops, that the roadside towns were on the decline, and that their future prospects were unknown, so of course he had to show his loyalty when he seized the opportunity.

"Good! Renlong's remarks are worthy of praise! As a minister, no matter whether he is civil or military, he must put loyalty to the emperor as the first priority! Obedience to the imperial court's dispatch is the first responsibility!

This official knows that some people have other ideas in their minds when you are called up this time, and they are not afraid to guess the holy intention with the dirty mind of the imperial court wanting to consume your strength!
Such thoughts can stop! "

Sun Chuanting put away his smile, his slender eyes scanned the generals in charge of the towns, and everyone just lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

"To tell you the truth, although there are more than [-] Eastern Captives on the opposite side, as long as there are four strong troops from the Yongwei Battalion, the Sichuan Army, the Qin Army, and the Jingying Battalion, without external assistance, this officer can wipe out all the evil on the other side. stubborn!"

Sun Chuanting's passionate tone was full of confidence, revealing a sense of heroism that defied the world, and there was also a hint of disdain in the eyes of the generals in the border town.

The words of Sun Chuanting made Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji and the others straighten their backs unconsciously, each of them had a posture of giving it up, and the heroic appearance made others both envious and jealous.

Although the generals in the border towns, including Liaoxi Jiangmen, were slightly dissatisfied with Sun Chuanting's remarks, they all understood that what he said was the truth. The Qing army severely damaged the Qing army in several consecutive battles, forcing the main force of the Qing army to retreat from Ningyuan to Songjin.

But when the officers and soldiers had the upper hand, the emperor suddenly ordered them to be transferred outside the pass, which puzzled many people.

Could it be that the emperor was afraid that something would go wrong in the upcoming victory, so he recruited troops to show off?
Or is there a treacherous official who wants to use the trick of killing people with a knife, and wants to use up their group of frontier troops when they still have the strength to fight in the end?

"The reason why I ask this question is because the following good news is closely related to this!
Since you can't wait, I will tell you the answer! "

All the generals, including Zu Dashou, immediately put away all kinds of thoughts, and at the same time looked at Sun Chuanting who showed a smile again.

"Do you know why in today's battle, Donglu suddenly sounded his trumpet and retreated when the battle was in full swing?
Ha ha!

Not because of its setbacks on the battlefield, but because its old nest is already unstable!

Last year, the Holy Majesty dispatched two generals, Liu Guoneng and Zhang Wenyao, with a total of [-] members to Dengzhou to practice the tactics of seizing the island, landing and long-distance raids. Pianshi landed in Liaodong, attacked Hetuala, where the ancestral mausoleum of the Donglu was located, and then took advantage of the emptiness behind it to attack Huanglong and threaten Shengjing.
Today's slave chieftain retreated, it must be because the division of crossing the sea had already succeeded, and Shengjing was in danger, so the slave chieftain had no choice but to gather troops and retreat!
In this way, it is inevitable for the Donglu army to retreat in the future. When the morale of the Donglu army is unstable, it is time for all the ministries to make contributions!
The reason why the Holy Majesty sent you here is because the generals have fought for the country for many years, and when the great achievement of destroying the country is about to be accomplished, the Holy Majesty is grateful and wants to share the merit with you! "

As soon as Sun Chuanting finished speaking, everyone in the border town was in an uproar.

Because the Qing army was well aware of the movements of the Ming army in history, when Zhu Youjian formulated the strategy of the two-way surprise attack, he solemnly warned the relevant people not to disclose all the news of the battle to anyone, and to limit the scope of the parties involved. Narrowed down to the smallest range, even the chief assistant like Wen Tiren only knew a little bit about it, let alone these generals who were far away from the court.

So when Sun Chuanting spoke out the imperial court's strategy and deliberately expressed Zhu Youjian's arrangement to win people's hearts, although the frontier generals did not fully believe it, they also felt sincere admiration for the imperial court's strategic deployment and arrangement this time.

"Commander-in-Chief, why didn't our army take advantage of the wavering mind of the Jiannu army today, and suppress the whole army and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

After everyone's discussion became small, Yang Guozhu expressed his doubts after he came out to salute. In fact, this was also a question raised by people who did not know.

According to common sense, the official army is fully dominant on the battlefield today, and the Qing army not only has a few troops who have succeeded or failed, but also once the news of the instability in the rear spreads, the morale of the entire army will be greatly depressed. It was a great opportunity for the officers and soldiers to win, why did Sun Chuanting allow the Qing army to retreat to the place where they camped?

Although Zu Dashou admired the extraordinary military strategy arranged by the court, like most people, he was puzzled by Sun Chuanting's contingency strategy, and even a little disdainful.

Taking advantage of his illness and killing him is the most important decision a coach should make, but Sun Chuanting's response is obviously very unreasonable.

"Hahahaha!"

Sun Chuanting couldn't help but stroking his beard and laughing out loud after seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces.

Under the bewildered eyes of everyone, Sun Chuanting stopped laughing after a while.

"You think that's all there is to it?

If I tell you that Lu Gong, a scholar of the Dongge University and Governor Xuanda, has led [-] cavalry to lie in ambush on the ground where the Donglu army must pass through when they retreat, how should you feel? !Ha ha ha ha! "
