As soon as Emperor Chongzhen woke up, he immediately entered the chat group to understand the situation. At this time, the war in Liaoyang had ended, and Gao Yingyuan and Wei Mulan both had a report, which combined to say: Liaoyang had been occupied, and because the city gate was controlled in advance, no one escaped from the city.

In addition, a total of 32 people were captured alive by Aixin Jueluo Babuhai and his Jurchen Tartars, and the rest were killed. On the Ming army's own side, except for two people who were injured during the night march, only one person in the offensive and defensive battle in the city was slightly injured by an arrow from Jianyu, and there were no other losses.

Now the city is patrolled by Han Wu and Gao Yingyuan with an army composed of Han Nu and North Koreans, and the order in the city is very good, and there are no accidents such as walking water. In terms of the seizure of supplies, there are a lot of military supplies alone, and there is more than enough food for 5,000 people to eat for a month.

……

After Emperor Chongzhen read the good news, he was overjoyed, and immediately got up and summoned Wen Tiren and other cabinet assistants, Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the military department, and the eunuch Bingbi, the celebrant and other eunuchs.

In the early years of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen did it himself, and this celebrant was the internal minister, which was a bit unworthy of the name compared to the cabinet of the outer court. But since Emperor Chongzhen's soul was changed, especially after Cao Huachun was used as the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the eunuch, the celebrant slowly began to play the role of the internal minister, and the discussion of national affairs once again had the position of the celebrant eunuch.

In the Wenhua Palace, but when he talked about the situation, the atmosphere suddenly became warm. After the Jianyu ravaged Liaodong, it was something that had never happened before. In the past, there was only the matter of Jianyu seizing the city of Daming, and there would be no matter of Daming recapturing Jianlu and occupying the city. What's more important is that this time it is Liaoyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong, which is of great significance!

This is a great victory, a real victory!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Daming is mighty!" Wen Tiren looked excited, and was the first to congratulate.

Cao Huachun was not to be outdone, and immediately followed: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he has a discerning eye for the pillars, so he has today's great victory." The slave dares to use her head to vouch for it, with Your Majesty here, it is not far from Liaodong to pacify! ”

……

This war, without the communication of the chat group, would definitely not be like this. Although Emperor Chongzhen himself slept with Tian Guifei in his arms and was not on the front-line battlefield, if he really wanted to talk about the first merit, he really took it for granted, who let him have this chat group, of course, knowing people and making good use of them.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and accepted the congratulations of his courtiers.

Of course, this was not his intention to call these courtiers. After a while, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "What do you think you should do next?" ”

There was indeed a plan before, but I originally thought that the battle in Liaoyang, not to mention the earth-shattering, at least the news would be leaked, and the surrounding Jianyu would definitely know immediately.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yingyuan and Han Wu performed well, and there was also a certain element of luck, which made the battlefield battle extremely simple. Even to the point that no one escaped from the city, that is to say, Liaoyang was taken by the Ming army, but the surrounding Jianyu did not know at all. This situation was different from the estimate, and Emperor Chongzhen wanted to ask the meaning of the think tank.

Shang Shu Shen Yongmao of the Ministry of War did not seize the first opportunity to pat on the back, so he was prepared at this time, and was the first to come out and play: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Guanning Army and the Liaoyang Denglai Army can be flanked before and after, and in one fell swoop, they will defeat the Mang Gurtai Division, advance our Ming front line to Liaoyang, and then threaten Shenyang." ”

If this is the case, it will be equivalent to recovering a large piece of Liaodong land, and the Ming forces will once again enter the hinterland of Liaodong, and the prospect is indeed very attractive.

Moreover, the truth and fiction of Mang Gurtai's department were known, and he issued an order to Sun Chengzong to let the Guanning army attack with all his might; Then on the Liaoyang side, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, had 800 cavalry troops, plus the incorporated army, there were at least about 2,000 combat power.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the suggestion of the military department, he couldn't help but weigh it in his heart. However, Min Hongxue, an assistant minister in the cabinet who was in charge of military affairs, came out and asked: "Your Majesty, we should be able to defeat the headquarters of Mang Gurtai, but when the army of North Korea returns to the division, can we hold Liaoyang?" ”

The meaning of his words was clearly opposed. When Shen Yongmao heard this, he immediately refuted: "With the ability of the governor of Denglai, what is the difficulty of holding Liaoyang? ”

The other courtiers stopped talking, but listened to the two of them arguing. Emperor Chongzhen did the same, and did not immediately deny the opinion of one of them, but also listened.

"If the Jianyu army cuts off the connection between Ningjin and Liaoyang and traps Liaoyang, can I have the military strength to support Liaoyang?" Min Hongxue did not answer Shen Yongmao's rhetorical question positively, but threw out another question.

Shen Yongmao paused when he heard this, obviously unable to answer immediately. However, he did not give up, turned his head to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, if this is really the case, you can mobilize the elite of the nine sides and fight to the death with Jianyu near Liaoyang!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought about it for a while, shook his head, and finally made a decision: "This is not a good strategy, the important towns on the nine sides have an army to adjust, but the places are not stable, and they need to be guarded by an army." If you really transfer the elite of the nine sides, you can't do it at one end, and there are many things at the other end! ”

In the original history, the Ming Dynasty would not have perished so early. It is that there are prisoners outside the gate, and there are thieves inside the gate, and the Ming Dynasty is tossed inside and outside. Finally, the thieves had to be pacified, but the invasion of the thieves gave the thieves a chance to grow stronger. Dispatched troops to a decisive battle with Jianyu, but the thieves were jubilant, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered to urge the decisive battle one after another, becoming a pig teammate that everyone hated, cheapening Jianyu in vain and achieving Jianlu's prestige.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he immediately added: "And I don't have the strength to support the decisive battle with Jianyu at the moment. If you insist on doing it, it may be good to win, but if you lose or even stalemate, it will lead to the good situation of financial improvement that has finally been achieved and ruined! ”

He considered this from an economic point of view, and believed that if the head of the household was still there, it was estimated that he would not need to say it, and he would be the first to stand up and oppose it. The three words of Armageddon, outsiders say it lightly, only the head of the household can have a personal experience, it is all money!

The emperor made it clear that Shen Yongmao would not dare to fight again, he did not dare to pat his chest and promise that he would definitely win. If you really have this certainty, you would have asked for the credit of replacing Sun Chengzong a long time ago!

Emperor Chongzhen asked the suggestions of the other courtiers again, and found that it did not satisfy him, so he decided to follow the original opportunity and spend the prisoners at a small price first. Anyway, Jianyu's plate is so big, and consuming him a few times will definitely make Jianyu unbearable. When the time comes, the new army, which can really be used for field warfare, will definitely be able to show its hands and wait until then to talk about the decisive battle.

Thinking so, he disbanded the meeting, entered the chat group by himself, and contacted Wei Mulan to make an order.
