Chapter 450 Falling from "God" to "Man"

After chatting with Man Gui and Zhao Liaojiao, and learning about things on the grassland, Yang Reform let these two guys who were complaining about who was going to fight go away.

Yang Reform accidentally discovered that Sun Chengzong's originally dry face became even more dry, and the wrinkles were obviously deeper than before. There was always anxiety on his face and worry in his eyes.

"Why is Master Sun in such a hurry? From the looks of Master Sun, it seems that he is not in a good mood?" Yang Reform asked. These days, he had a really good life. He was in a good mood and everything was going well. Suddenly, he found a worry. Sun Chengzong, Yang Reform became a little vigilant.

"Return to Your Majesty, I'm fine, I'm just worried about the battle outside the pass next year." Sun Chengzong didn't talk nonsense with the emperor, but directly addressed the core of the problem.

"Oh, what is Master Sun worried about?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I'm dull, I can't see clearly how Donglu will send troops next year? I always feel that my eyes are darkened, and I'm caught in a thick fog. I can't see clearly Donglu's movements, let alone how Donglu will act. , Therefore, I have no clue about next year's war, so I am worried." Sun Chengzong said worriedly, now, he can be regarded as a bachelor who specializes in military affairs, and his energy is basically spent on military affairs, especially in military affairs. Dealing with things outside the customs is even more attentive.

"...Oh, that's right! Did the staff deduce it? What was the result?" Yang Reform understood why Sun Chengzong was worried. Indeed, this year's war was entirely based on his own use of the golden finger of history. The game was laid out under the premise of the trend, so the chances of winning are quite high. The staff department is completely following its own instructions and ideas, so everything is going smoothly. All kinds of information are also in line with the results of the deduction. But by the end of this year, This kind of golden finger has gradually lost its effectiveness, and history has deviated from history. Now, it is no longer possible to rely on one's [-]% correct point of view to deal with the war.Without my own clear guidance, it is extremely difficult to deal with unknown battles.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the staff department has already deduced it, but it is just a continuation of His Majesty's entanglement strategy, and there is no new insight. I am worried that Donglu has already known and made clear my Ming's intentions, so he will not sit still. I will definitely come up with a new strategy to break through His Majesty's entanglement strategy. This minister is worried about this. I don't know Donglu's movements, I don't know Donglu's situation. These two eyes are smeared. If Donglu will send troops as soon as spring begins, then I Daming will be extremely passive!" Sun Chengzong expressed his worries.

"That's a problem!" Yang Reform understood what Sun Chengzong said. It's winter now, and it will soon be the twelfth lunar month. Once the new year is over, spring will begin. As soon as spring begins, the snow will start to melt, and the war may end soon. The cruelest scene will appear in the beginning of spring. If you are not prepared, it is very likely that Donglu will give himself a "good start" as soon as the show starts next year.

Coming to the front of the big sand table, Yang Reform stared at the sand table in a daze.

"The question that Master Sun mentioned is indeed a difficult problem! There are also some characters on Donglu's side. This year, I won a small victory, and Donglu's side will definitely solve my strategy. This has to be guarded against! But , How to prevent it is a difficult problem!" Yang Reform has almost used the advantages of history, and the rest depends on his own strength to fight the wild boar skin. This matter has been faintly in Yang Reform's heart before, and now Sun Chengzong Speaking officially, Yang Reform felt that he was in trouble. Without the "golden finger" of history, he might have to rely on his true level to fight against historical figures.

"I'm also worried about this! It's almost the twelfth lunar month. If you don't understand Donglu's intentions early, if you don't take precautions early, or prepare a plan, once the spring begins, you will definitely be in a hurry, and you will lose sight of others, and there will be big problems! I am most worried that I will miss your Majesty's important event..." Sun Chengzong was not worried about some small losses, some small losses, which the Ming Dynasty could still afford, but worried about the impact of military defeat on the emperor's authority and military prestige Well, the matter that the emperor did will definitely be done in the spring of next year, and it may not be finished by then. Once it is given to Donglu at that critical juncture, although the actual loss is not much, it will not be too big for the emperor. His prestige was a heavy blow, so Sun Chengzong was so anxious and worried.

Seeing Sun Chengzong talking about the "big event" that he was afraid of missing himself, and seeing Sun Chengzong's anxious and worried expression, Yang Reform's heart tightened, and he understood the meaning of Sun Chengzong's words.

Yang Reform's gaze was fixed on the sand table. Temporary weather factors isolated the battle, but soon the weather factors will pass again. This battle must continue!How will Donglu fight?How will Donglu send troops?In which direction will Donglu send troops?How many troops are there in each direction?What about combat power?This is really black eyes!
"What can Master Sun do?" Yang Reform, who had been thinking for a while, had no idea and his mind was in a mess, so he had to ask Sun Chengzong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't have any specific countermeasures. I can only say some possible useful methods for your majesty's reference." Sun Chengzong sighed and said, if Sun Chengzong had any good solutions, he would not be so haggard.

"Master Sun, just talk." Yang Reformed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, first, I think that now that His Majesty summons the governors of the world to Beijing, some governors have already arrived in Beijing one after another, and the rest will arrive in a few days. As long as several governors from the north arrive, such as Mao Wenlong, Yuan Ziru and the others, Your Majesty may wish to ask them for advice, they are on the front line, and they may have some unexpected solutions..." Sun Chengzong said.

"Well, that makes sense, Master Sun continued." Yang Reformed.

"Secondly, I believe that the staff department should still step up the deduction. One side pretends to be the Donglu, and uses the Donglu to find a way to attack our Ming Dynasty. All the situations that arise are deduced to prepare for the plan, although there may not be the best way, but it will not be in a hurry and mess up..." Sun Chengzong said again.

"Well, yes, it should be like this." Yang Reform nodded again. To be honest, without the golden finger of history, Yang Reform felt that his "level" had dropped a lot. After listening to these two suggestions, he was a little bit better. Spectrum.

"Thirdly, I think that we should send more agents to investigate the situation of Donglu, and find out as much as possible about Donglu's troubles, so that I, Ming, can respond in a timely manner... In addition, no matter what, no matter whether there is a suitable countermeasure A strategy should be drawn up before spring begins, once spring begins, it is likely to be the beginning of a great war..." Sun Chengzong said again.

"It makes sense." Yang Reform said again.Then he said: "Man Gui and Zhao Ledjiao have arrived, and Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong should arrive after a while. When they all arrive, I will discuss how to start next year. I am afraid that as Master Sun said, next year one The beginning of spring, I'm afraid it will be a hard battle!" Yang Reform said thoughtfully, it seems that his good life may be over, no, because it should be said that domestic and foreign affairs will pile up, forming a situation of internal and external difficulties With Huang Taiji's shrewdness and so many spies he has arranged in the pass, it is impossible for him not to know his own movements. Knowing his movements, it is impossible not to come and get involved. After the New Year, After the beginning of spring, my own affairs may not be finished, but Huang Taiji may not be able to stay at home at ease. I am really in trouble...

……

After returning to Qianqing Palace, Yang Reform began to frown. After a few days of good days, it turned sunny and cloudy again.Staying alone in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, frowning.

After thinking for a long time, I picked up the pen and prepared to write a letter to Xu Guangqi.

What a sad world!Can't you let yourself be quiet for a few more days?The things I want to do, even if I cut the mess quickly, I will go to the beginning of spring. Once the beginning of spring is not over, the Eastern Captives outside the Guan will definitely make some moves. At that time, I will face the joint squeeze from inside and outside. Not being able to concentrate is a hassle.In fact, even if the wild boar skin makes some moves, it may not be able to do much harm to oneself. With the defensive ability of the "turtle flow" of the Ming Dynasty, defense is still no problem, but I am afraid that the wild boar skin will be cruel and attack a little bit. Some small fortresses may not be able to withstand it. A small military defeat may not be a big deal in normal times, but at critical moments, it may kill people.

"Alas..." Yang Reform sighed. It seems that he should not be too confident, nor should he be too confident in his own strength.Have to think of other ways.

So, I wrote a letter to Xu Guangqi in a hurry.Tell Xu Guangqi that the recruitment with the pirate Zheng Zhilong has been negotiated, so the center and focus of the work is likely to shift from Shaanxi to Nanjing, the transfer station for immigrants. I hope that Xu Guangqi will leave immediately after receiving the letter and rush to Nanjing, where he will handle the transfer immigration, and preparations for next year's immigration work. Next year's immigration may involve the Great Liuqiu, so it is no longer suitable to stay in Shaanxi. On the other side of Shaanxi, it is enough to leave a deputy imperial envoy there.

Yang Reform succinctly wrote that in this sad world, people cannot live in peace. After a few days of happy breathing, he came to make things difficult for him again. Yang Reform also hinted in the letter that if immigrants during the transit process appear Whatever the problem, when necessary, Xu Guangqi can use extraordinary means, and Xu Guangqi can handle it with full authority.

On the Jiangnan side, I still have to send a person who can stand up to the scene, but there is no reliable and trustworthy person around me, so I have to let Xu Guangqi go. Now this person's reputation is outside, and his status is enough Gao, in case something goes wrong and things happen repeatedly, I urgently need someone to suppress the situation on the Jiangnan side. When necessary, I will not hesitate to use force. There is such a high-ranking and powerful person over there Zhenfu is also much more relieved, relying solely on Jinyiwei's strength in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Reform is now worried.

After writing it, he read it again, put it in a secret box, and sealed it. Yang Reform heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted, "Big companion..."

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Wang Cheng'en said.

"Immediately send this secret box to Mr. Xu in Shaanxi, and tell Mr. Xu that it is winter now, and the immigrants from Shaanxi have also stopped. You don't need to stay in Shaanxi, and you should rush to Nanjing immediately. Now most of the immigrants are on the way of transshipment." , I am afraid that these immigrants will have problems, it is better for Master Xu to be in Nanjing to command, and it is enough to leave a deputy imperial envoy in Shaanxi..." Yang Reform said.

"Your servant obeys and will do it right away." Wang Chengen immediately unwrapped the secret box and left quickly.

……

Wang Chengen went out, and Yang Reform began to meditate again.The few questions Sun Chengzong said lingered in Yang Reform's mind again. Without definite intelligence support, he did not have the golden finger of "historical prophet", and Huang Taiji put many spies inside himself. Huang Taiji's own situation Knowing it clearly, isn't this "fog of the battlefield" covering his head?

Yang Reform came to an astonishing conclusion. In the past, he relied on the "prophet of history" to see and predict all Huang Taiji's actions. Huang Taiji's every move was in his own eyes, and he could treat it calmly. The "mist" was actually covered on Huang Taiji's head, but now, my own advantages are almost used, and I stay at the same starting point to race with Huang Taiji, and this "battlefield fog" is immediately set on my head. This is a bad sign.

"Big Companion..." Yang Reform was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat, and immediately shouted loudly.

A little eunuch poked his head in and promised, "Go back to Your Majesty, Director Wang has gone out to do some business, and he hasn't returned yet. What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Well, I understand, it's okay, let's go out..." Yang Reform ordered, and the little eunuch went out immediately.

Yang Reform walked back and forth in Dongnuange, becoming anxious, intelligence, intelligence!Without the "prophet of history" gold finger, now, he and Huang Taiji start on the same line. If he doesn't know the other party's information, this is almost a harbinger of failure!

Wang Chengen came in in a hurry, and just after explaining the matter of flying the secret box, the little eunuch hurried to catch up with him and told him that the emperor had something urgent to call him, but there was no one to call.After hearing this, Wang Chengen ran back immediately, not knowing what happened.

"Your Majesty, are you calling your servants?" Wang Chengen asked with a blushing face.

"Let's go out of the palace." Yang Reform looked at the blushing Wang Chengen curiously and said.

"Of order, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen held his breath as much as possible and agreed.

……

The carriage clanged out of the palace, and Yang Reform's mood gradually calmed down.I used to fight wars and relied on the "prophet of history" to gain the upper hand and gain all the advantages, but now, I have fallen from the position of "god" to the position of "human", the importance of this information has been highlighted at once, Originally still in a daze, now Sun Chengzong reminded him to wake up immediately.Talking about the importance of information, Yang Reform thought of an important person... Liu Xingzuo, this high-ranking official of the Houjin who came here anyway, should be familiar with the inside story of the high-level Houjin, and he might be able to get a lot of useful things from him. The important thing is that Yang Reform remembers that he still has a few brothers who are also preparing anyway, and they are still in progress and have not come over yet... So, the importance of this Liu Xingzuo has suddenly become apparent, and Yang Reform doesn't care about anything , Immediately go out of the palace to see this Liu Xingzuo.

"Your Majesty, do you want to see that Liu Xingzuo?" Wang Chengen asked, the emperor left the palace in such a hurry, Wang Chengen thought that something serious happened, but unexpectedly, he went to see that Liu Xingzuo.

"Well, I just went to see him. Remember, his identity must be kept secret. This is the most important thing. Don't let the secret out." Yang Reform warned.

"I understand." Wang Chengen agreed.

The carriage still entered the yard where it had been before.

Yang Reform got out of the carriage, he had already calmed down, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Recently, Liu Xingzuo has been staying quietly in the capital, not seeing anyone, and concentrates on "writing a book" to the emperor, writing down everything he knows one by one.Today I accidentally learned that the emperor was going to be summoned. I was shocked at first, and my heart that had gradually cooled down burned again. It seems that the emperor has not forgotten himself!
"Sinners kowtow to His Majesty, long live my emperor." Liu Xingzuo saluted as soon as he entered the room.

"Waiting for courtesy, this is not a palace, there is no need to be polite, just call me Young Master Zhen." Yang Reformed.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Liu Xingzuo got up now, and stood with his head bowed, waiting for the emperor's question.

"How is that book going?" Yang Reform began to ask.

"Return to Your Majesty, the sinner has already written some, and has written all the sinner's every move on the side of Donglu, including many things on Donglu's side, and the sinner has also recorded it." Liu Xingzuo immediately replied, and presented own "book".

Wang Chengen took it and handed it to the emperor.

Yang Reform took over the book, flipped through it, and found that it was written in vernacular. After reading it for a while, Yang Reform didn't feel comfortable making any in-depth comments, so he just said, "Very good, not bad."

"Liu Xingzuo." Yang Reformed.

"The sinner is here." Liu Xingzuo quickly replied.

"My lord, I have something to ask you." Yang Reformed.

"Excuse me, my lord, the sinner knows everything." Liu Xingzuo immediately agreed, this is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he has a good relationship with the emperor, so he doesn't worry about being unable to get along in the Ming Dynasty.

"I heard that when you were in Donglu, you often passed on information about Donglu to me, Daming. If Donglu wanted to send troops, how many troops to send, and where to send troops, you would secretly inform me, Daming, beforehand? Is there such a thing?" Yang reform asked.

"Master Hui, this matter is true. The sinner knows that he has committed a serious crime and has been planning to escape from the devil's lair. Unfortunately, he is also afraid that the court will not trust the sinner. Therefore, the sinner often sends people to tell the news of Donglu's dispatch of troops to prove the crime of the sinner. Sincerely, the sinner has passed on the news many times, and finally the news leaked, and the sinner was almost killed by the chieftain, and finally saved his life by luck..." Liu Xingzuo immediately told his past to prove his sincerity.

"It's commendable! It's commendable... I know your loyalty." Yang Reform admired. Hearing this, Yang Reform felt flattered. Come to the door!
"...Last time I heard that you still have brothers who want to deal with it anyway, right?" Yang Reform asked beautifully.

"Back to the son, yes, the sinner's brothers also intend to return to the court anyway, but there may not be a chance to escape for a while, and please allow some time for the son to not tell the news of the sinner..." Liu Xingzuo said immediately .

"Well, your identity, I will keep it a secret. Can your brothers get the inside information of Donglu's high-level officials? I now need the dynamics and news of Donglu's high-level officials in order to formulate next year's war plan. Therefore, this This matter is very important, do you understand?" Yang Reformed, Liu Xingzuo is in his own hands, and he is not afraid of Liu Xingzuo playing tricks, so he just said it straight.

"The sinner is willing to let the sinner's brothers collect news about Donglu for the young master. It is not for the sinner to brag about. The sinner is on the side of Donglu, and he is also valued by the chieftain of Donglu. Although my brothers can't know the most important thing about Donglu Confidential things, but you can also find some useful things. If there is a big war, you must not hide it from my brothers. Please believe in sinners, my son. Those brothers of sinners must have a way to get rid of them before the war. Send the news to the son, so as not to delay the matter of the son..." Liu Xingzuo replied beautifully, what he needs most now is to prove his worth with facts, now that such a good opportunity is in front of him, how can he let go?He and his family have been doing this all the time to collect information and pass the news of the mobilization of soldiers and horses from the East to the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that he is familiar with the way. There is simply no better thing than this.
