Daming wolf ride

When the gate was about to close, Shi Dayong looked around and found that Shanhaiguan was built against the mountains and the sea, with the Great Wall of Jiaoshan in the west and the old dragon's head entering the sea in the east.There are also five enemy towers and battle towers, one pass, and several archery towers such as Linlu Tower, Muying Tower, and Weiyuan Hall. Together with the mountainous terrain, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.There are dozens of red barbarian cannons erected on the closed door, just like "one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it".

Shanhaiguan is so precipitous, it is no wonder that until the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy for opponents to close the gate.Shi Dayong sighed in his heart, secretly thought that even if he now has a strong army of [-], if he wanted to forcefully break through, he might not be able to.He also expressed his admiration for Huang Taiji's strategy of going around the Great Wall through Mongolia, otherwise, no matter how much he had in Manchuria, he would not be able to withstand the consumption of the world's number one pass.

Seeing that Shi Dayong was interested in the topography of the Guanmen, Lu Shanji said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the roads and the city have been dangerous. Eastern captives are still northern captives, if you want to break through the pass, you don't even think about it."

Lu Shanji is actually a Mongol, and the northern captives specifically refer to the various tribes of Mongolia, but in his mouth, he came along with his mouth, and he is not embarrassed at all, it is obvious that he has a deep Sinicization.Similarly, when Lu Ming heard the word Beilu, he also had a strange expression and was very open-minded.

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Since ancient times, there has been no so-called unbreakable strong city. Geographical advantages are important, but without the combination of weather and people, no matter how strong the city is, it will only be a flash in the pan, and it will eventually be ruined." Therefore, we must not take it lightly, thinking that if a strong city is lost, we can be at ease, but we must always keep our spirits up. The thing in this world is to be afraid of the word seriousness, but only when you are serious can you be safe. If you don't take it seriously, what's the use of giving you more fortified cities?" [

"What the boss said is that the student has made a slip of the tongue." Lu Shanji blushed, and said with some shame: "Even if the Qianli Long Causeway was destroyed by an ant nest, let alone a closed gate. Back then, my Daming had Fushun, Tieling, and Shenyang outside the pass. There are fortified cities such as Liaoyang, Guangning, etc., and the whole court thought that they would not be lost, but unexpectedly they were destroyed in the hands of internal thieves. From this we can see that there are indeed no strong cities in this world that cannot be lost."

"Zu Dashou built the Daling River City to make the city strong and solid, but in the end, it was just a loss. Alas, it seems that this strong fortress does not seem to be effective."

It was the official Song Siqi who said this, but he immediately regretted it after he finished speaking, and looked at Sun Chengzong at a loss.

The reason for this is probably because the lord Jinglue in front of him is a single-minded man who fortified the fortress. If Song Siqi said so, wouldn't he say that Sun Chengzong was wrong to his face, and would he not regret it?

Both Lu Shanji and Lu Ming looked unhappy, glanced at Song Siqi, and said nothing.The rest remained silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Shi Dayong kept his hands aside, not easy to talk to.

Sun Chengzong showed no displeasure, and raised his hand with a smile, motioning everyone to move forward.

Seeing that Mr. Jinglue was not unhappy, everyone felt at ease.When going up the steps, Song Guan was intentionally squeezed to the back.

After going up a few steps, Shi Dayong suddenly stopped, turned to look at Sun Chengzong, and said sincerely: "Master Jinglue, in fact, in the future, as long as the court is not chaotic, this closed door can stand. You have to worry about whether you will fall."

"If the court is not chaotic, can it not fall if the door is closed?"

Sun Chengzong stopped with great interest, glanced at Shi Dayong, and asked him with a smile, "Why did Shi Shen make such a statement?"

Shi Dayong leaned slightly, and said emotionally: "The last general is just expressing his feelings. If our country is peaceful and the people are safe, we will not be in danger of losing our defense when we close the gate. Just ask the whole country, no matter how strong the Eastern Prisoners are, they will be able to go here again." How many corpses are piled up under the closed gate? In the battle of Jinzhou, the last general resisted the Eastern captives with remnant soldiers, and killed thousands of Eastern captives with strong artillery, not to mention this grand pass under his feet? Therefore, as long as the court does not make mistakes, the soldiers will We don't have to worry about running out of food and salaries, and the Xiongguan is heading east, so we can be at ease."

"What a Xiongguan Dongxiang! Well, yes, it makes sense." Sun Chengzong nodded approvingly, but looked at Shi Dayong's face, hesitated, and couldn't help asking: "Are you ready? Are you going to meet the Son of Heaven wearing this mask?"

"..."

Shi Dayong was stunned for a moment, blushing a little, but fortunately no one else could see his expression behind the mask.

"The general's face is incomplete, so it's not suitable to see people. In desperation, he had to wear this mask so as not to scare others. If the Son of Heaven is frightened by the deformed face of the general, he deserves to die."

"That's fine." Sun Chengzong smiled, didn't say much, and walked up again.

After walking dozens of steps, we arrived at the Jingbian Building. After Lu Shanji signaled the servants to retreat with his eyes, Sun Chengzong said casually: "The food and wine are ready, everyone, sit down."

There are no delicacies from mountains and seas on the table. There are only some ordinary dishes, and most of them are beef and mutton. [

Everyone sat according to their seats, but Lu Shanji couldn't help persuading him in every possible way, but Shi Dayong couldn't refuse, so he had to sit at the head.

Sun Chengzong is the master, and he has the highest official position, no matter how much he values ​​Shi Dayong, how much he wins him over, he will definitely not even give up the chief seat.

Among the subordinates, only Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao sat with him, while Shao Wu and others had dinner in the army.After closing the door, a large pot of rice was prepared early, and many cattle and sheep were killed. The front shouted to start the meal, and the aroma came from the back, and the whole Songshan people were very happy to eat.

At the banquet, Shi Dayong was a little restrained and distressed. The restraint was that Sun Chengzong was present, and he didn't dare to be too casual; the trouble was that Qiu Hejia had confessed that he would not remove his mask when he didn't see the emperor, so it was a bit embarrassing to eat the food and drink.Fortunately, Lao Qin also took care of Shi Dayong's needs when he played the mask, leaving enough gaps in the mouth, so that Shi Dayong would not be embarrassed.

Sun Chengzong intentionally persuaded Shi Dayong to take off his mask for the time being, but he still didn't say it out of his mouth.

Wine is good wine, but people's hearts are not on this wine, and the banquet is a bit dry.After a symbolic toast to drink, the chopsticks didn't move much.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Lu Shanji asked Shi Dayong some things about the defense of Jinzhou, and Shi Dayong answered them one by one, concealing nothing.

Sun Chengzong nodded while listening, but didn't say anything.

Sitting there, Shi Dayong couldn't sit still, seeing that the food was almost ready, he wanted to get up and leave.At this time, Lu Ming, who had been silent all this time, held up his glass and said respectfully to Sun Chengzong: "The student heard that the teacher has composed a new poem in the Zhongyou Institute, but I don't know if the student is lucky enough to see it?"

"It's not a great poem, it's just something I felt when I was in Zhongyou Institute." Sun Chengzong tapped his finger on the table and slowly recited:

"The city is full of bells and watchful nights, and the eaves and horses are full of westerly winds that disturb dreams.

The white-haired Xiaoxiao is insomnia, and the new moon shines on the Shahe River for half a circle. "
