Chapter 490 Yuan Chonghuan Who Wants to Do Big Things
Liaodong.

Jinzhou, governor's yamen.

Yuan Chonghuan was standing in front of the sand table, thinking about what to do.He received the news on the [-]th that Donglu had crossed the Liaohe River first. This time, it was really menacing.

The generals and officials also gathered around the sand table, discussing what to do now. This tradition of discussing countermeasures around the sand table can be regarded as being passed down from the emperor. Since the emperor took the lead, the people below , naturally follow suit.

Now this way of discussion is not as particular as it used to be.The atmosphere is also far warmer and more harmonious than before. Before, people sat down according to their grades. Then the people in front spoke, and those in the back spoke in a rigid and dull manner. Even if what the people in front said was wrong or had problems, the people in the back Due to grade and face, it is not easy to refute. Many useful suggestions have been lost in vain. Really constructive suggestions are difficult to be adopted. Now this is different, and the person in charge doesn’t care. The following You can talk about it as you like, even if your idea is whimsical, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a joke, and the listeners won’t care. If there are really a few good suggestions, others don’t mind adopting them. Integrate it into your own strategy, and when you get down to business, you can express your thoughts and strategies. Whoever says something makes sense will be recorded. If you win by relying on this strategy in the future, It is also beneficial to oneself.

Although Yuan Chonghuan had just returned, the Jinning line of defense had already been prepared.To the north of Jinzhou, the big and small Weizi have already withdrawn.Recalling the emperor's prediction, recalling the emperor's teachings and training for himself, Yuan Chonghuan felt at ease, anxious, and panicked.

The stability is because, as the emperor expected, this year is really a year for a decisive battle with Donglu. Sooner or later, there will be a big war. For some purposes, Donglu will send troops in advance. Now, Donglu will go to his side With the news, Yuan Chonghuan's heart has settled down, and things are not unexpected.

The reason for his anxiety is that until now, he has not had a specific strategy of his own to deal with the Eastern captives. What he has now is just a general strategy arranged by the emperor. As for his Jinning, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, It is nothing unique, it belongs to my own opinion, that is to say, if this continues, he will at most win the same kind of unbeatable victory as last time. According to the emperor's arrangement, winning is also at the strategic level, and it has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan He, Yuan Chonghuan, only needs to hide in the big city. With this grenade and the Franc machine, it is absolutely impossible for Donglu to capture Jinzhou. , This kind of victory, even if others don't talk about it, Yuan Chonghuan feels that he has no face to face others. Yuan Chonghuan, who has always claimed to be the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, is determined to show his talent and create his own world.Yuan Chonghuan never wanted to live the life of being forced by Donglu to dare not move in Jinzhou City.

The reason for the panic is precisely because of Yuan Chonghuan's thought of not wanting to be forced in Jinzhou City, and wanted to go out to compete with Donglu, but Yuan Chonghuan also knew that his troops were fighting Donglu in the wild. , basically impossible, as soon as you go out, it is very likely that Donglu will make dumplings. Donglu is afraid that he will wait for him to go out. Once he thinks that his failure in the field will affect the emperor's grand strategy, and think of various possible defeat scenarios, It made Yuan Chonghuan, who was thinking of going out of the city to wrestle with the Eastern captives, feel terrified.

The atmosphere of the discussion in this war room was very enthusiastic. The generals and officers were discussing enthusiastically, saliva flying everywhere, and the braziers around them added to the atmosphere.

"Everyone, please be quiet..." Yuan Chonghuan stood there for a long time, concentrating on doubts for a long time, sighed a long time, and said.Looking at Yuan Chonghuan's eyebrows, it seems that there is still no progress, his brows are furrowed, and his eyes are shining with unwillingness.

The big and small officials who were discussing enthusiastically stopped immediately, stood according to their positions, and waited for Yuan Chonghuan to speak.

"The Tartar striker has already crossed the Liaohe River on the [-]th. What do you guys think about the current battle? What countermeasures are there?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.Yuan Chonghuan was anxious and uneasy in his heart, and even had doubts on his face.

"Futai, the general thinks that His Majesty has already arranged everything there. As long as we follow His Majesty's arrangement, everything will be fine..." a general said immediately.

Everyone nodded, this is correct, judging from the results of the last battle, the emperor still has a few brushes, and now it is no problem to fight according to the emperor's arrangement.

Not only everyone nodded, even Yuan Chonghuan kept nodding. According to the emperor's style of play, he would definitely win. However, he, Yuan Chonghuan, didn't want to be so aggrieved all the time. He won the victory by hiding in the city all the time. It doesn't sound good, what Yuan Chonghuan thought was that he could compete with Donglu in the wild.

"Futai, the general thinks that this time the Tatars are coming to attack, we have already anticipated and made sufficient preparations in advance, so there is no need to be afraid of him. After the Tartars have suffered enough in our Jinzhou, we will naturally leave It’s okay, it’s nothing at all, this year’s war is already a victory.” A general said carelessly immediately, he had expected it in advance, and had already made sufficient preparations in advance, so that everyone who had been psychologically prepared would fight against the Eastern Captives. I don't care about the arrival of the enemy, now there are Flang machines, Hongyi cannons, and hand grenades. If Donglu can attack the city, unless they all can fly.

This general's words immediately won the approval of many people. There was a burst of relaxed laughter in this war room. They waited for the enemy to attack in Jinzhou, and then waited for the victory to come. Many generals especially liked this kind of battle.

Yuan Chonghuan sighed. Nowadays, all the generals and assistants in Jinzhou hold this kind of argument, which is very different from his ideal. What a distress!
"How are the big and small enclosures and bunkers in the north of Jinzhou City going?" Yuan Chonghuan sighed, his thinking may be too different from ordinary people, and everyone thinks differently from him.Yuan Chonghuan, who had no clue, could only ask casually like this. In fact, these fences had been withdrawn long ago.

"Huifutai, those fences have been withdrawn long ago, and now Jinzhou can be regarded as the forefront..." Zu Dashou replied immediately.

"Oh, what about our south of Jinzhou? How are the enclosures removed?" Yuan Chonghuan was upset and asked indiscriminately.

"Back to Futai, all the enclosures have been withdrawn. Now, from Jinzhou to Ningyuan, there are only Songshan, and there are still people in several castles in Daxing." Zu Dashou said immediately, looking at Yuan Chonghuan strangely. Futai doesn't know?
"Hmm!" Yuan Chonghuan replied distractedly. Now, relying on grenades and French machines, the defensive capabilities of these small bunkers have greatly increased. Therefore, many small bunkers have been rebuilt and used. Come on, the forts that were too small were all withdrawn, but a few slightly larger forts were left behind, such as Songshan, Daxing, Xingshan, etc. These were originally used to deal with the Eastern captives. According to the estimation of the staff department , A castle defended by 3000 to 3 people, Donglu can't be surrounded by [-] to [-] people. If you want to attack it, you must risk several times the casualties.

"The Tatars are coming to attack this time, attacking the city by force. I'm afraid he won't have the guts anymore. Your Majesty predicts that he will just find a city to surround, and then surround them with reinforcements, forcing me, Daming, to fight him in the field." Yuan Chonghuan said lightly. .

Everyone says yes.

"...Jinzhou is a big city. It is estimated that the Tartars will not besiege it. Ningyuan and Daxing Castle are deep in the hinterland. Donglu probably will not go to besiege. That is, the possibility of the two castles of Songshan and Xingshan being besieged Bigger, compared to these two, Songshan is in the front, therefore, Ben Futai thinks that the possibility of Tartars besieging Songshan this time is relatively high..." Yuan Chonghuan had something on his mind, and he just muttered like this Yes, there is a grand strategy, but Yuan Chonghuan's tactical strategy does not.

Everyone also listened.

Yuan Chonghuan was talking nonsensically, when a school captain came in to report.

"Report..." The captain gasped heavily.

"..." Yuan Chonghuan, who had been thinking about fighting Donglu in the field and doing a big career in the field, stopped muttering alone and looked outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"My lord, I just found a tartar spies twenty miles north of the city." The captain came in and said panting.

This news surprised the people present a little, it must have come too fast.

"It's so fast!..." Yuan Chonghuan was also surprised, a little surprised that Donglu came here so fast.

"Is it true?" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration after hearing the captain's words, as if he had caught something, and the thing he wanted the most seemed to have some eyebrows, and he asked immediately.

"My lord, it's absolutely true, it's undoubtedly a Tartar spy." The captain replied in a positive tone.

"How many people are there?" The flash of inspiration in Yuan Chonghuan's mind became clearer and clearer, and all kinds of troubles and worries in his heart gradually merged together along with the flash of inspiration.

"Going back to my lord, there are about twenty riders. The little one guesses that he is here to fight the outpost, and there must be a large group of people behind." The captain said immediately, and also mentioned his guess by the way.

"Well, it's been hard work, let's go take a rest first." Yuan Chonghuan suddenly heard the captain's reminder that there are spies!The mind is already clear, and in the boundless hard thinking and searching, I found the trace.

Spy?This word made Yuan Chonghuan suddenly understand a lot of things.Isn't Donglu coming this time to besiege the city?Don't you just want to help?So, when will there be reinforcements, how many reinforcements have gone, etc., don't you have to rely on spies to find out the news?Without these news, Donglu would be blind or deaf, so what if he besieged the city?If Donglu's eyes and ears can be cut off, that is, all his spies will be abolished, then Donglu will have no way of knowing when there will be reinforcements and how many reinforcements there will be. Yes, yes, it is the fog of the battlefield that the emperor often said , if you can cover Donglu's eyes and ears, then Donglu may not feel at ease even when besieging the city, and must always be on guard against his own reinforcements...

Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan's mind was clear, and now he finally got what he had been thinking about for a long time. Yuan Chonghuan immediately took out a few pieces of paper and covered the surroundings of a city on the sand table, leaving only that city out .In this way, on this sand table, the surrounding area of ​​this city is covered with white paper, a vast expanse of whiteness.

"...Understood, I understand..., Your Majesty is really wise, really wise!" Yuan Chonghuan looked at the situation on the sand table frantically, and chanted with a smile.

Everyone looked at the somewhat crazy governor in surprise, not knowing what Master Yuan was going to do.

"Your Majesty is not deceiving, it really is a good method, a good method..." Yuan Chonghuan ended his madness, and began to speak with confidence.

"Futai, what is this?" Zu Dashou finally couldn't bear it and asked.

"Hehehe, the fog on the battlefield, the fog on the battlefield! Why did I forget this?..." Yuan Chonghuan explained with a smile.

Everyone looked at it in confusion, the fog on the battlefield?I have heard of it, but the generals here have their own set of understandings and concepts about fighting. It is impossible for them to have a new term, and they will have an understanding, and their cognition will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.

"...Everyone, please see that if the Tartars surround Songshan Mountain, then, according to the Tartars' assumption, they must wait for my Daming's rescuers. What they are dreaming of is the dream of encircling the spot. If you want to encircle the spot, you must know I sent troops in the direction of Jinning, how many troops were dispatched, and when they arrived at a certain place. If the Tatars don’t know these things, they can’t talk about it if they gather around to help..." Yuan Chonghuan changed from the confusion and panic just now, and turned to confidence Said a hundred times.

Everyone looked at their governor inexplicably, what happened?However, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with their own Futai's statement, and nodded one after another.

"... If we want to know this news, we must send out spies, countless spies... If we can cover the surrounding area of ​​Songshan Mountain with white paper like that on the sand table, that is to say, if we can get the Tartars All the spies scattered near Songshan Mountain have been pulled out. Then, the Tartar is blind and deaf, just like on the sand table. He can't see or hear the situation outside Songshan Mountain. You can understand this. What do you mean by Futai?" Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile and full of confidence, from the confusion and panic all the time, he finally found a place where he could use his force.

"What do you mean, sir?" Zu Dashou also seemed to understand something, but he didn't say it, and then asked Yuan Chonghuan.

The generals and many officers and assistants still looked at Yuan Chonghuan in a daze.

"...The lieutenant mentioned the spies just now, and I suddenly remembered that His Majesty often said that the battlefield is foggy, and the spies are the eyes and ears on the battlefield! Without eyes and ears, what happened on the battlefield in Jinning would be completely unknown." Don't want to know, you will be shrouded in fog on the battlefield. Therefore, we only need to find a way to kill the spies of the Tartars. The Tartars will not be able to figure out our reality, and they will not be able to figure out from which direction Jinning will send troops and how many troops will be sent. , When will the troops be sent out? Therefore, the Tartars may not even sleep peacefully, and the siege may not be able to continue. The situation may be more conducive to my Ming Dynasty..." Yuan Chonghuan said confidently.

Up to now, he finally found a good way to fight Donglu, that is to trouble the Tartar spies, and when the Tartars besieged the city, he would do everything possible to kill all the Tartar spies, so that the Tartars who couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly The Tartars themselves had doubts and panic. If they did something else, the Tartars would not even dare to besiege the city.

"My lord's meaning, the general understands a little bit, do you want to kill the Tartar spies?" Zu Dashou asked.

"That's right, my official guesses that this time the Donglu came to besiege the city. It is unlikely that Jinzhou will be besieged, but it is possible to surround Songshan Fort and Xingshan, a small city. Wait for my Jinning reinforcements to go to the rescue, while we wait, but keep killing the Tartar spies, guess what will happen to the Tartars?" Yuan Chonghuan asked his generals and officers with a smile.That drowsy mind and drowsy thinking are now finally enlightened, and the thinking and vision of facing the war and the future have finally gradually become clear.

When everyone heard this question, they all thought about it.

"Going back to Futai, if the Tartars have no spies, it is true that I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep comfortably, but, my lord, please forgive me for talking too much, if you want to get rid of the Tartars' spies, it may not be an easy thing to do!"

"Go back to Futai, I'm afraid it's impossible, the Tartars will definitely send more spies..."

Immediately another person answered.

"Hahahaha..." Yuan Chonghuan laughed loudly.

Everyone looked at Yuan Chonghuan in surprise.

"Fu Yu listens to the order!" Yuan Chonghuan laughed for a while. He had already figured out a lot of things, and immediately ordered that he thought it would be better to do it. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he must not miss it. He has to do a big job. , Let the world know how powerful Yuan Chonghuan is.

"The last general is here." Zu Dashou immediately replied loudly.

"I command you to lead two thousand fine cavalry immediately, and go immediately to kill the tartar spies you just discovered. After you go, behead the tartar spies, and then retreat immediately. If there are a large number of tartars, retreat immediately. If the tartars avoid If you enter a dangerous place, you will also retreat, in short, this trip is to kill those spies, don’t worry about the others, if there is any danger, you will also retreat, understand?" Yuan Chonghuan gave this madman-like order.

"This, my lord, this?" Zu Dashou was confused, what is this and what is it? 2000 people chasing the Tartars who ride ten or twenty?There is no need to chase after him, Zu Dashou felt that his master Futai might be crazy, and he didn't know whether to agree to go or not.

"Don't worry so much, just execute it, don't worry, the target this time is the [-]-riding Tatars, come back immediately after killing them. I want to give the Tartars a disarm..." Yuan Chonghuan said confidently, until today , his blurred vision and thinking were finally sober and clearer, and his brain came alive. After analyzing the subtle relationship among them, he knew what he wanted to do and what he was able to do.

"Decree!" Zu Dashou didn't think too much about it, and immediately went to execute it. 2000 people went to play ten or twenty rides. This..., although this order is very nonsensical and wasteful, but looking at the confident look of his Futai , Zu Dashou readily agreed. As Yuan Chonghuan's confidant, he naturally couldn't let his lord down.

All the generals and officials looked at the confident Yuan Chonghuan in surprise, and they were all surprised. 2000 people went to beat the Tartars for ten or twenty riders. Sure enough, the governor was notoriously stunned, and this stunned energy broke out again.
