When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "No. Jianlu didn't expect us to come here at all. If he was just dealing with the Denglai Ming Army, he wouldn't have laid such a dangerous trap. Using a place along the coast as a trap can
It is easier to seduce the Denglai Ming army. In addition, I believe that even if Huang Taiji sets a trap, he will not use Fan Wencheng as bait."
Gu Baichuan was experienced in judging people, and he didn't find anything wrong with the three people just now. It was only out of vigilance that he gave Zhong Jinwei such a warning. Now that Zhong Jinwei's analysis was clear and logical, he said nothing more.
.
But his words also reminded Zhong Jinwei, and he said to Gu Baichuan: "Go and see Fan Wencheng and squeeze out everything he knows."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Gu Baichuan agreed, and then left the hall.
Within a day, all the information in Fan Wencheng's belly was revealed by Gu Baichuan. Combined with the reports from Tang Daxuan and Gu Mancang, Zhong Jinwei knew everything about Jianlu's internal affairs.
Zhong Jinwei looked at the confession on the table and thought it was God's will.
Originally, he just wanted to destroy Jianlu's autumn grain, but the situation in North Korea after he arrived made him decide to ambush Mang Gurtai. Before he could take action, another Fan Wencheng was sent here, along with all Jianlu's strategies.
Know clearly.
Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, and immediately wrote a letter detailing Jianlu's strategy to deal with Ning Jin, and sent someone to Sun Chengzong in Shanhaiguan urgently.
In addition, he wrote another memorial, reporting to Emperor Chongzhen the current situation of Jianlu and the actions he wanted to take.
When all these things were finished, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, arrived.
"Master Marquis, are you going to take action? The slave chief of North Korea seems to be preparing to set off." Lu Xiangsheng said quickly as soon as he saw Zhong Jinwei.
He didn't know what was happening here yet, so he said this.
Zhong Jinwei smiled, called Lu Xiangsheng in front of him, and asked him to read the confession on the table.
Lu Xiangsheng was a little strange and didn't know what was going on. He immediately picked up the confession and read it. The more he read, the more surprised he became. At the end, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhong Jinwei in disbelief: "Is this true?
?”
"Well, could it be cooked?" Zhong Jinwei was in a good mood and started joking with Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he immediately realized that he was asking unnecessary questions. If it was false, there would be no need for Marquis Zhongxing to send him over urgently to have a look.
After thinking about this, a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart. Lu Xiangsheng asked in surprise: "Master Hou, how did you obtain this information?"
You must know that there are so many internal things within Jianlu that it is impossible to know if you are not a high-level Jianlu. And these situations, Jianlu usually will not confess to death. At the beginning, Aixinjueluo Amin did not say anything.
.
Zhong Jinwei immediately told Lu Xiangsheng the whole thing to avoid asking him again.
After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his face became solemn, he looked at Zhong Jinwei and asked: "Master Hou, what are you going to do?"
Zhong Jinwei did not answer immediately. He led Lu Xiangsheng to the wall where a map of Liaodong was hung. He patted a location on the map with his hand and said softly but firmly: "Take advantage of this opportunity to capture it."
Lu Xiangsheng took a look and found that it was exactly what he had guessed. The Marquis of Zhongxing wanted to capture Shenyang, which was formerly the Ming Dynasty, and Shengjing, which was now the capital of Jianlu.
Zhong Jinwei pointed to a red line marked on the map and said: "This route is the safest known so far. If the cavalry lurks through it, it will take about six days to reach Shenyang. This time has already taken into account the necessary requirements along the way. The situation of evading Jianlu should actually arrive sooner than expected."
If Shengjing can be captured, the significance of it to Lu Xiangsheng, a member of the civil service, does not need to be explained. This is more cost-effective than annihilating Mang Gurtai, and its political significance can be said to be immeasurable. It will also be of great significance to Jianlu An extremely serious blow will greatly change the morale of both the enemy and ourselves.
But dreams are beautiful, but reality may not be what you want. Lu Xiangsheng thought that the risks involved would be very high, and he reminded: "Master Marquis, Shengjing is the capital of Jianlu after all, although now is the time when its defense is at its weakest. , but it doesn’t mean that it can be defeated by just hitting.”
"I know this. I'm not calling you here, but I'm asking you to come together to discuss a feasible plan. The purpose is just one, try to win Shengjing. If you can't win, go for a walk outside Shengjing. It's also good to soak in urine." Zhong Jinwei said this because he felt that Tang Daxuan said that the Han people in Liaodong were desperate for the Ming army and defected to the Jianlu.
If the remaining Han people in Liaodong are aroused to resist, even if they cannot defeat Shengjing, they will still make money.
"Okay, Lord Marquis, I'll leave this matter to the lower official." Lu Xiangsheng responded with clasped fists. He thought that this matter was indeed very important, and he had to complete this task even if he risked his life.
Without thinking, Zhong Jinwei said: "Why leave it to you? The two of us will discuss it together and complete this feat."
Gu Baichuan was right behind Zhong Jinwei. When he heard this, he couldn't help but intervene and persuade: "Master Hou, the emperor has told you to pay attention to safety and never take risks."
"Then who will command the new army? How effective can the Denglai Ming Army alone be?" Zhong Jinwei asked rhetorically.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the danger, but if the Denglai Ming Army alone has a very small chance of capturing Shenyang. If the New Army also goes, with their superior firepower, they might still have a chance.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you may not be able to get close to Shenyang until you defeat the Jianlu on the frontal battlefield. And if this sneak attack succeeds, the political impact will be very large, and the morale of both sides will be greatly changed on the battlefield. It will greatly benefit the Ming army in the frontal battlefield showdown.
Besides, as long as it doesn't rain, with the firepower of the new army, it will be very difficult for Jianlu to keep him. And judging from the weather conditions in the past few months, the probability of rain is very small.
There is always an adventurous spirit in the man's heart. Although he also thought about his own safety, Emperor Chongzhen's instructions, and the pregnant Archie, he still decided to personally lead the new army to participate in this battle.
Lu Xiangsheng was also questioned by Zhong Jinwei. Indeed, as Marquis Zhongxing said, the Denglai Ming Army alone would definitely not be able to complete the task. Lu Xiangsheng still had this self-awareness.
Zhong Jinwei's stance was very firm, leaving Gu Baichuan and Lu Xiangsheng with no choice but to start from the safety aspect of the plan, hoping to formulate a perfect plan.
So Zhong Jinwei and Lu Xiangsheng began to discuss the plan. The Fourth Primary School and other guards listened, and Cao Bianjiao was also present. They worked together to formulate a perfect solution for Jianlu's measures.
After deliberation for a whole day, we finally came up with a plan acceptable to everyone.
For the sake of safety, this plan required the Ming army to stay in the Shenyang area for no more than three days. In this way, even if the main force of the Jianlu forces got the news, they would not be able to keep them there in time.
