Two hundred and thirty eighth chapter Jianlu arrogant
When the people in the Wenhua Hall heard this, they were a little surprised. Why was the urgent military information sent by the family of Zhongxing Hou?
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei in confusion, wondering when Zhong Jinwei had turned his home into a military camp.
Zhong Jinwei looked at Emperor Chongzhen's eyes and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I am also confused."
Since the person involved didn't know either, Emperor Chongzhen stopped guessing and sent Gu Baichuan to see him.
While waiting for Gu Baichuan to arrive, Zhong Jinwei suddenly slapped his forehead and said in a voiceless voice: "Your Majesty, may I know the origin of this military intelligence?" [
When Sun Chengzong, the commander of King Qin's army, heard this, he was more concerned than Emperor Chongzhen and asked first, "Where are you from?"
He knew that Ye Bushou, who was inquiring about the military situation, would only send the news to the camp, and could not send it to the military supervisory office in the capital.
"Do you remember the stone-throwing report last time? I can't think of any other possibility." Zhong Jinwei answered Sun Chengzong.
Emperor Chongzhen was sitting on the throne. Hearing Zhong Jinwei's explanation, he suddenly understood. But then he showed doubts and asked Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, I read the letter last time. The things painted on it are difficult to read."
I understand, how do your family members know this is military intelligence?"
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, Zhong Jinwei couldn't understand.
Fortunately, Gu Baichuan had already walked into the Wenhua Hall to meet him at this time, so they didn't need to waste their brains making random guesses.
"Your Majesty, urgent military situation." After Gu Baichuan finished speaking, he presented a folded piece of paper.
When Zhong Jinwei and Sun Chengzong looked at it, they felt that it must be from the same source as the last stone-throwing letter, because the paper had obvious wrinkles.
Emperor Chongzhen took the paper presented by the chamberlain with some doubts, and then opened it to read while thinking about the difficult-to-understand pattern drawn this time.
I didn't expect any patterns on the drawing this time, only a few words, "The prisoners retreat, Amin leads eight thousand to stay behind."
These words were not written by one person, but by several people, because the handwriting of each word was different. Finally, these words were glued to the paper and spelled out into a sentence.
Emperor Chongzhen was a little puzzled. Who could be reporting the message to Master Zhong and being so mysterious? Such detailed military information was obviously not something Ye Bushou could find out, because there were detailed figures and the specific name of the commander-in-chief.
Emperor Chongzhen was thinking as he asked his chamberlain to convey this military information to his ministers.
Sun Chengzong first checked the military situation, and Zhong Jinwei asked Gu Baichuan: "Did Uncle Yu send it to you?"
"Yes, he said it was the same as last time. Someone was thrown into the yard from outside and was thrown beside him. He quickly chased him out and saw no one. Because the matter was so important, he found the construction site and then found the belongings.
Next." Gu Baichuan reported what happened in detail, because he knew that others were also listening to his content, so his voice was louder.
"Are there no other discoveries?" Zhong Jinwei was really curious about the person who threw stones to report the news, and he was like the agents seen on TV in later generations.
Gu Baichuan shook his head, he had no other clues.
At this time, Sun Chengzong had finished reading and handed the note to Zhong Jinwei.
Zhong Jinwei was even more surprised after seeing it. He acted like a 100% secret agent and even learned how to spell.[
As for the content on the paper, it was similar to what Zhong Jinwei had measured himself, so he was not surprised at all.
After Zhong Jinwei read it, he handed it to Wen Tiren, who had been waiting for a long time. He recalled whether there was someone who had rescued Jianlu at some time, or someone else, so out of gratitude to him, he came to report these ridiculous stories to himself.
Emperor Chongzhen believed that Jianlu did not dare to leave only a part of his troops in the pass, which was contrary to Sun Chengzong's opinion that Jianlu must be reluctant to occupy the city. This is actually easy to understand, because the difference between the two of them lies in their views on the Ming army and the
It arises from different levels of familiarity with Jianlu.
The contents of this paper were almost as expected by Sun Chengzong. The Jianlu soldiers indeed retreated and left people to guard the city they had captured.
Now that Emperor Chongzhen saw that the two main military ministers had finished reading, he asked Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I think it is true, not only because the reporter has already reported very useful information, but also it is consistent with what I heard in my hometown." Zhong Jinwei replied.
"Marquis Zhongxing, have you heard of this in your hometown?" Sun Chengzong asked strangely when he heard Zhong Jinwei's words.
Zhong Jinwei said it to Emperor Chongzhen, which meant that it was also like this in history. Only Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren in the Wenhua Hall could understand it.
Now when he saw Sun Chengzong asking this, he started to lie: "What, I didn't say it, you heard it wrong, oh, or I just said it wrong."
Sun Chengzong was speechless when he heard this. What are these words?
Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren laughed heartily when they saw Sun Chengzong being teased by Zhong Jinwei, but they still pretended not to see or hear.
Bi Ziyan heard clearly what Zhongxing Hou said. Now he was cheating, but neither the emperor nor the chief minister corrected him. He was also quiet and kept his head down, as if he was thinking about something.
Emperor Chongzhen saw that Sun Chengzong wanted to ask again, so he quickly interrupted him and said: "Master Sun, if this news is true, how should we deal with it?"
As soon as Sun Chengzong heard what Emperor Chongzhen asked him, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask Zhong Jinwei and replied: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to remain unchanged in the face of everything."
"So, doesn't it mean that all the main forces of Jianlu will withdraw from the pass?" Emperor Chongzhen asked Sun Chengzong.
The reason why he asked this was not because he was reluctant to leave the main force of the rebels, but because Sun Chengzong had previously said that he would encircle and annihilate the main force of the rebels in the pass.
Sun Chengzong knew what Emperor Chongzhen meant by saying this, and he replied: "Your Majesty, this time, that time."
When he said this, he looked at the people present and felt that none of them had anything to do with the military generals. Zhong Jinwei, who did, would naturally have no problem.
Therefore, he continued: "If before, the main force of Jianlu wanted to retreat, I could send troops to hold them back, at least not to allow them to leave easily. If we could wait for Qin's general army to arrive with his troops, then He Jian would be able to retreat."
The captives can form a decisive battle in the pass, but that is not possible at the moment."
"Why doesn't it work? I think this idea is very good." Zhong Jinwei heard this and expressed his opinion.
Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen and saw that he was looking at him. He turned sideways and said to Zhong Jinwei: "It's different. Marquis Zhongxing, don't forget to do things carefully. It hasn't been long now. Is there anyone with ulterior motives in the army?"
It cannot be confirmed, so we cannot risk sending them all out. If someone surrenders to the enemy in front of the battle line during the decisive battle with the main force, no one can afford the consequences."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he felt that it made sense. Even if the chance was one in ten thousand, he could not take this risk, because if he were defeated, the capital would be in danger.[
"Your Majesty, it is not very realistic to want to take down the main force of Jianlu in one go. Now that Jianlu is arrogant and has left eight thousand troops in the pass, I think that if all these Jianlu are destroyed, it will also be a major blow to Jianlu.
." Sun Chengzong gave Emperor Chongzhen a more practical suggestion.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Sun is right. These captives have underestimated their capabilities and dared to leave only eight thousand troops in the pass. They are really old people who have eaten arsenic and are tired of living." Zhong Jinwei agreed with Sun Chengzong's suggestion.
In his view, even if the anti-corruption incident had not caused the generals to be untrustworthy, it would have been impossible to keep the main force of the Jianlu forces in the pass. The Ming army did not have the strength to eat a fat man in one bite.
Emperor Chongzhen saw that both Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei had the same idea, so he thought for a while and felt that safety was the best. He would not move for now. After the Qin army arrived, annihilating the eight thousand captives would be considered a great victory.
So, he nodded and expressed his position: "That's fine, Master Sun, you still have to worry about the relevant arrangements."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong agreed.
Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance who had been making soy sauce and said: "Bi Qing, war costs money, you have to set aside some silver for this. In addition, the Qin general is coming soon, and they need it."
The military camp and related logistics matters must also be planned in advance."
"I understand." Bi Ziyan quickly replied.
After explaining this matter, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei and said: "Master Zhong, there is one more thing that concerns you. After discussing it with the chief minister, I would like to hear your opinion."
