"Your Majesty, Huang Degong, please see you!" While the two men were talking, a guard came to report it.

"Xuan!" Chongzhen said softly.

A moment later, Huang Degong came in in armor and saluted.

"Lao Huang, long time no see, come on, come on, taste the native products of this grassland!" Liu Hong hurriedly greeted Huang Degong.

Before Chongzhen spoke, Huang Degong didn't dare to move, seeing Chongzhen nodded, Huang Degong dared to find a pier to sit down under Liu Hongji.

"Your Majesty, the minister has advice." Huang Degong turned a blind eye to the meat in front of him, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had something on his mind.

"Oh? Huang Aiqing, please speak. After such a long time, Chongzhen's opinion of Huang Degong has also changed.

Although Huang Degong is not very good at speaking obediently, whether it is marching and fighting, or arranging defense in border towns, he is much more stable than the unreliable courtier in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the supply line of the Ming Dynasty is too long, and the ministers are afraid that they will be coveted by the Jianju and the Menggu tribes, which will delay Your Majesty's major affairs." Huang Degong knew that His Majesty and the Governor were bent on conquering Jianyu, but they couldn't become fat in one bite.

From Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan to Jinzhou, from Guangning to Haizhou, and then to the current Horqin, there are more than 1,000 miles.

With such a long supply line, if something goes wrong in any place, it may cut off the food and grass of the Ming army's 70,000 troops.

Without sufficient ammunition supply, it will be a bolt from the blue for the Ming army, and the army will be distraught if the grain and grass are cut off.

Although it is a bit suspicious to say this at this time, it has to be said.

A general who doesn't dare to tell the truth is not a competent general, and Huang Degong, who doesn't dare to speak, is not his Huang Degong.

In order to garrison the newly recovered city, Huang Degong had almost pulled over all the newly trained 100,000 recruits from Shanhaiguan, Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou and other towns.

Rao is like this, and the entire defense line is still weak in many places.

The Chahar Department recruited the Tumut Department and the Karaqin Department, and the three armies were attacking everywhere outside the border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Chahar Ministry has an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, how much is the covenant worth?

The safety of Daming Border Town can't be pinned on this paper covenant, what if this guy treacherously stabs Daming in the back?

Although the whole army of the Ming Dynasty has nearly one million soldiers, the Ming Dynasty is too big, and the combat power of the soldiers in various places is also uneven.

There were so many territories outside the gate all of a sudden, and soldiers had to be stationed everywhere, and Huang Degong's hair was going to turn gray.

"Lao Huang, you're worried too much, the official is waiting for this budding bird now!" Of course, Liu Hongjian knew Huang Degong's worries, and he was not in his position and did not seek his own politics.

His goal is to attack, Huang Degong's task is to defend, relatively speaking, the attacking side occupies the complete initiative, so Liu Hong gradually hit wherever he wants, and rampage all the way outside the pass.

But Shou is more passive.

Not only is it responsible for providing a stable supply to the army, but if you talk about this supply line, it will be even longer.

Most of the rice and grain were transported from Jiangnan through Cao, from Fujian Zheng to Tianjin Wei through Cao, and ammunition was transported north from the capital to Shanhaiguan, and then there was a longer front outside the customs......

If it doesn't matter to himself, it's messy, and he doesn't want to think about it, why does Liu Hong want to fight this Horqin?

Don't you want to force the old turtles out of the city to fight him?

Jinyiwei's cavalry has already infiltrated the Liaodong regions, as long as Jianyu dares to go out of the city, Liu Hongjian is sure that they will not return.

"My lord! The Chahar Ministry is ambitious, so I have to guard against it! "Originally, he was not treated by Chongzhen, and this black face had to sing by himself, and Huang Degong was also very helpless.

"He dares! The official is worried that he can't find anyone to fight! Liu Hong gradually disagreed, the strength of the Ming army was slightly insufficient, and Chahar was now busy harvesting the chaos of the League, so why not?

If Polochi was still alive, with his understanding of the Ming army, he would not dare to attack the Ming Dynasty even if he had a hundred guts.

Taking advantage of the fire to rob Gu Ran is comfortable, but what if the robbery fails?

"I said Lao Huang, what do you mean? Is this because our Ming army has conquered too much territory? Liu Hong said half-jokingly.

"Don't dare to be humble, humiliation is just ......"

"Okay, Huang Aiqing, I know what you are worried about, you can do your best, don't need too much pressure." Compared with the kid in front of him who didn't seem to take anything seriously, Chongzhen also knew the pressure on Huang Degong's shoulders, so he didn't reprimand.

"Obey! Please retire! ”

"Don't be in a hurry to retreat, it's never too late to be busy with a bowl of milk." Liu Hong gradually poured a bowl of mare's milk for Huang Degong.

"Xiaguan ......" Huang Degong wanted to say that he was so old and still drank milk, but when he saw that Chongzhen was also holding half a bowl in front of him, he swallowed the words back.

"Hurry up, don't drink and don't leave! No matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body, don't you? Combine work and rest! Liu Hong gradually ignored it and handed the bowl to Huang Degong.

Huang Degong drank it all like drinking water, the milky white milk stained his beard, Huang Degong wiped it with his hand, and bowed to retire.

"Youming, what Huang Aiqing said, aren't you really worried? Are we going too presumptuous? Chongzhen put down the cloud just now, and his face was full of worry.

Huang Degong didn't say much about this just now, he was fooled by the ministers for seventeen years, and he was so lame and blind that Chongzhen except for Liu Hongjian and the foreign ministers would put a question mark first.

Only in the face of this courtier in front of him did he dare to say his inner thoughts, firstly, this kid knew the roots, and secondly, he was afraid of being deceived by other courtiers.

"Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, support the bold to death, starve the faint to death.

Now that the entire grassland and Liaodong are in chaos, Chahar knows that he is taking the opportunity to expand his pasture, how can we be left behind?

Don't worry, Your Majesty, ministers never fight unprepared battles! Liu Hong patted his chest and reassured.

Eating the meat in Daming's stomach, it is absolutely impossible to spit it out.

Daming won the battle, Huang Degong and Chongzhen are still so worried, they really can't figure it out!

After discussing the garrison with Huang Degong, the Northern Expeditionary Army repaired in Horqin for two days and continued northward.

Liaoyang is not easy to fight, Liu Honggradually simply stopped fighting, he likes to be a turtle, right?

Then it's up to the official to eat your little brother's nest one by one, and see if you come out or not!

From Horqin all the way to the north, 70,000 troops invaded like fire, slaughtering all the tribes of the Dogleg who built in their passes.

Under Liu Hongji's 'wise command', the army was like a bamboo, and six days later, it turned around to the northwest of Jianyu Shengjing.

Jinyi Guardian, thirty miles to the east is Tieling County, which is less than a hundred miles away from Shengjing!

Under the scorching sun, the hot wind gusted, and Liu Hong, who had been in a dark circle, gradually rode on the war horse, he felt a little thirsty, took off the water bladder from the horse, drank a few sips, and looked to the east.

"Your Majesty, maybe we will be able to triumph soon!" Liu Hong gradually said meaningfully.

"Why did Aiqing say this?" Chongzhen also rode on a war horse.

Originally, he was not in good health, but in order to improve the morale of the soldiers, he always refused to ride in a carriage, but rode on a war horse like many soldiers.

"Hehe, the emperor, look at it!"
