Wang Yue said seriously: "That's why we have to ask the Grand Secretary to come out and take charge of the overall situation."

Sun Chuanting just pondered but said nothing. The Ming Dynasty was really scared by the Oirats. Qinghai, Tibet, and Shaanxi, the land is vast and sparsely populated. The Mongolian light cavalry would not come over to fight the Ming army foolishly. The Mongolians would take a detour and kill people.

Setting fire to grab things, food, wealth, and whatever the population sees, this is how the war in the northwest has come here for more than a hundred years.

I can’t blame Sun Chuanting for lack of confidence. If he doesn’t do a good job as a Grand Secretary in the Cabinet, he will be defeated in the northwest?

Sun Chuanting just refused to let go, but Wang Yue was confident and smiled: "My husband, please ask the little girl to bring a word to the Grand Secretary."

Sun Chuanting was shocked and said seriously: "But I don't know what the Grand Governor said."

Wang Yue chuckled, revealing her cute little tooth: "My husband said, Grand Secretary, are you willing to be a small official?"

When Sun Chuanting was stunned, Fang Shihong laughed first: "That military man was so angry, and he was not afraid of the wind slashing his waist. Is the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet a minor official?"

He sang and joined Wang Yue, and Sun Chuanting felt ashamed and embarrassed. Thinking about his stamping and sealing in the yamen every day, burying his head in the copywriting. He can't control big things, he doesn't have to control small things. After a long time, that one

But his passion gradually became cold. He was no different from those old people in the officialdom at the age of thirty.

Sun Chuanting's face turned blue and white, and was ashamed. Wang Yue and Fang Shihong looked at each other and smiled. He knew that this matter was done. After all, the Grand Governor was very good. With just one sentence, he made the Sun University full of words.

The passionate blood was stirred up.

Sun Chuanting bowed his hand, couldn't sit down, so he got up and said goodbye.

Two days later, Sun Chuanting, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, asked to go to the northwest to supervise the battle. Yuan Keli, the chief assistant of the Cabinet, nodded, and the emperor had no other words. On the same day, Yanjing's side was invited by Sun Chuanting, the army from Shanhaiguan rushed to the northwest to assist.

Shanhaiguan garrison selected 20,000 elite cavalry and strengthened the northwest. The general led by Zu Dashou, who led Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou troops.

Most of this army and horses participated in the Liaodong Pinglu War and had some practical experience.

Since Sun Chuanting was in charge of the northwest, he showed his extraordinary military talent. He hurriedly packed his luggage and ran northwest. He was still on the road and issued military orders. Most of the soldiers mobilized were cavalry with practical experience.

In addition to the 20,000 Guanjin cavalry, Sun Chuanting also transferred a Yizhou cavalry from Mao Wenlong and a group of Hong Chengchou stationed in Hubei. He was about to be dismissed and pieced together 30,000 cavalry to form his main force of the central army.

Sun Chuanting dispatched troops and generals all the way. Before the people arrived at the northwest front, the Ming army in the northwest was defeated.

One of the Oirat light cavalry and one of the junggar cavalry suddenly rushed thousands of miles and appeared in Shaanxi. The main force of the Ming army was attacking Xining. It was a dilemma. Should we retreat to defend Shaanxi and clear these two light cavalry first?

Attacking Xining was the norm when the Ming army faced the northwest Mongolian light cavalry for more than a hundred years. It was not as mobile as others and could not attack.

At this time, Sun Chuanting showed his outstanding military talent.

A military order ordered the Ming army on the front line to continue to attack Xining, which was occupied by the Mongols, and at the same time urged the Ningjin cavalry to march quickly to Shanxi. After a brief rest in Datong Prefecture, he led 30,000 cavalry into Shaanxi to fight and faced the attack thousands of miles.

The two enemy cavalry, the so-called heroes of the times, was immediately stabilized as soon as Sun Chuanting took off his horse, and the chaotic battle situation in the northwest immediately stabilized.

More than ten days later, Datong, Shanxi.

The Ningjin cavalry, who was greatly received by the ancestor, had been resting for three days and had a strong military appearance.

In November of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting, under the escort of hundreds of light cavalry, entered Datong and retreated the command center of the Ming army in the northwest from Yansui Town, Shaanxi to Datong Town, Shanxi. Just this order made the veteran general Zu

Dashou applauded and did not dare to underestimate the Grand Secretary Sun again. Zu Dashou is also a veteran in the hundreds of battles and knows the old Taoist who moves the back of the coach camp.

This is the natural military talent, talent, or a keen sense of battlefield smell. Sun Chuanting clearly realized the mobility of the Mongolian light cavalry. It can be seen that this great scholar has a broad mind and has studied at night. He has not known how many Mongolians have been studied.

Only human war examples have this magical stroke.

Therefore, the Ming army in the northwest was divided into two parts.

A 50,000 infantry and cavalry rushed straight to Xining, and the other gathered on the line of Datong, Shanxi. Thirty thousand cavalry did not move, and the light cavalry went out everywhere and quietly waited for the county government to report the movements of the Mongols. They were deeply aware of the essence of the military strategy as still as a mountain.

The deputy general Zu Dashou therefore admired Grand Secretary Sun very much, and the Jinning Cavalry was therefore very convinced by Sun Chuanting's command and was willing to work hard for Grand Secretary Sun.

Datong, the Marshal's Mansion.

Sun Chuanting changed into military uniform, and his bright red cloak was swung, showing his sharpness and charming style.

In mid-November, it is severely cold in the northwest.

As time goes by, the county governments in the northwest were harassed by the Oirats one after another, and were sent to Datong like snowflakes in the military camp. Sun Chuanting and a group of generals analyzed the military situation and tried their best to figure out the movements of the Mongols. This was not the same.

It's an easy thing. In this era without radio, you can follow the clues to figure out the enemy's movements from the chaotic military newspapers in various places. This is a very famous general.

This is called the seed of famous generals. It requires a keen sense of smell and strong logical ability. It can see through the reality and reality from the fog. Where did the Mongolian light cavalry come from? How did it cross the Yellow River and enter Shaanxi? Sun Chuanting's fingers passed by the map and finally fell to

Hequ, Liujiachuan and Liujiachuan outside Fugu City are an important ferry crossing on the Yellow River.

The land of Shaanxi is called blocking mountains and rivers in military affairs.

When the Yellow River originated from Qinghai, passed through Gansu and Ningxia, it was protruding into a shape of a few, wrapping most parts of Shaanxi. Then, it went south along the border between Shaanxi and the belly, and rolled through Henan.

Go east.

Let’s not talk about other areas for now, just talk about the areas where the Yellow River flows through the border between Shaanxi and the inner tummy. It is more than a thousand miles long. The mountains on both sides overlap, the valley roads are curved and narrow, the beaches are numerous and the water is urgent, and the shipping is difficult. The coast is the most important and can be

At the ferry crossing of the military passage, the Liujiachuan Ferry outside Fugu City is the first to go from north to south. The strategic position is very important.

From this ferry, you can enter Shanxi west or north to Inner Mongolia. On the other hand, whether you are from Inner Mongolia or from Shanxi, you can also enter Shaanxi through this ferry. The most subtle thing is that this place is not very far from Datong.

, hundreds of miles away, Datong is in the northwest, while Jining is in the southeast of this place.

How did Sun Chuanting make such a judgment because the county government along this marching route sent back the least information, and abnormality was a monster. Therefore, Sun Chuanting judged that the Oirats were rushing thousands of miles away, with the target of Yansui Town and the Ming army on the front line.

a gathering place for food and grass.
