Until Yan Yingyuan left, Shi Kefa did not take any measures, on the one hand, of course, because of the relationship between Zu Dashou, on the other hand, it was also the situation analyzed by Yan Yingyuan, which resonated with Shi Kefa, the situation in Liaodong is indeed as Yan Yingyuan said, or as analyzed by Su Tiancheng, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, a little carelessness may cause a turbulent situation, and this turbulent situation, the losses caused, I am afraid that anyone who makes a decision will become a sinner through the ages.

Shi Kefa fell into a hesitation and could not make a final decision until the imperial decree arrived.

The holy decree of the imperial court caused great repercussions in the governor's yamen.

The total strength of the Liaodong border army is less than 300,000, and the backbone of the army is less than 100,000, if in accordance with the requirements of the holy decree, 200,000 soldiers are sent to defend the capital, it is equivalent to giving Liaodong to the Houjin Tartars, less than 100,000 soldiers, guarding the huge Liaodong, but also facing the fierce Daishan and Jierharang, what the consequences are, there is no need to think.

Zu Dashou and Zu Dale are strongly opposed, their reasons are very sufficient, even if they give up Guangning and Xipingbao and other places, hold the Guanning Jin defense line, relying on less than 100,000 soldiers, it is unlikely, Zu Dale who was excited even moved out of the Jiangning battalion, thinking that if it is 100,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, let alone holding Liaodong, it is possible to kill Shenyang, but the newly recruited sergeants of the Liaodong border army are mostly strong, and the combat effectiveness is not particularly strong. More importantly, the Houjin Tartars were not good at attacking cities and villages before, but after they were equipped with a lot of artillery, their ability to attack cities and villages was greatly enhanced, and it can be said that they were handled in accordance with the holy decree of the imperial court. Liaodong is bound to be completely lost.

Zhang Guowei, a cabinet scholar who came to deliver the decree, was pale, and seeing such an argument, he knew very well that Su Tiancheng's hand had reached Liaodong, and I was afraid that the generals of Liaodong would not necessarily handle it in full accordance with the requirements of the holy decree.

Shi Kefa is in a dilemma.

At this time, the flaws in his personality were exposed. On major issues, it is difficult to decide, it seems indecisive, and the position is not particularly firm, on the one hand, it is the holy decree of the imperial court, on the other hand, it is the opposition of important generals such as Zu Dashou and Zu Dale, and there is the shadow of Su Tiancheng behind it, no matter how decisive, the consequences will be triggered. I'm afraid it's all too much to bear.

Yan Yingyuan also knew the content of the holy decree, he really didn't understand, in fact, when he said those words in front of Shi Kefa, Yan Yingyuan still thought of it, maybe there will be people in the Ming court who understand, and they can see Huang Taiji's plan at a glance, and they will not be fooled, they must be dispatched a small part of the Liaodong border army to deal with it. It's impossible to say that you don't care at all, after all, the Houjin Tartars led by Dolgon. is very brave, just in case, a part of the Liaodong border army should also be transferred.

The holy decree came, Yan Yingyuan was completely disappointed in the Ming court, the reason why there was such a holy decree, and the reason why the Ming court gave up Liaodong. Or is it because those officials in the court think of their own interests, as long as they can keep their lives and wealth, whether there is a problem in Liaodong is not their concern. Therefore, the large-scale mobilization of the Liaodong border army, in fact, the mobilization of 200,000 Liaodong border army, and the transfer of all are not much different, according to the most optimistic estimate, the remaining less than 100,000 Liaodong border army, can desperately hold the Shanhai Pass, even if it is Amitabha.

Yan Yingyuan would never let such a situation happen, and after discussing with Zu Dashou, Zu Dale and others, he came to the governor's yamen again and entered the wing.

This time Shi Kefa didn't feel strange, and he didn't show the attitude he had for the first time, but there was still no expression on his face, and he didn't take the initiative to speak, although Shi Kefa knew what Yan Yingyuan was doing, in fact, Shi Kefa also wanted to hear what Yan Yingyuan's attitude was, and whether he could say some practical methods.

When it comes to the safety of Liaodong, Yan Yingyuan is very proactive.

"Master Shi, I already know the content of the holy decree in the next place, and I have the courage to come to see the adults, and I have some ideas that must be said, as for how to choose, please think twice."

Shi Kefa nodded, without much expression on his face.

"After receiving the holy decree of the imperial court, the adults should be more disappointed, after thinking about it carefully, in the Ming court, there may not be no one who can see the plan of Huang Taiji, but unfortunately they panicked, all they thought of were their own interests, and they didn't care about the situation in Liaodong at all, because Liaodong was still a little far away from them, but the Houjin Tartars under the command of Dolgon were in Changping, which was not far from them, in case the capital was taken by Dolgon, wouldn't they have nothing, and their lives could not be saved."

"Lord Yan, don't say these whining words, let's talk about what is good."

"The method given below is very simple, one word, drag, but to do this, there must be sufficient reasons and momentum, the adults can first make a big noise, saying that the eastern border army of Liaodong is about to go to the capital on a large scale, and then mobilize some of the sergeants, slowly marching towards the capital, in the next meaning, no more than 100,000 people, if the court asks, the reason for the adults is also very simple, a one-time mobilization of 200,000 troops, there are a lot of difficulties, just the preparation of grain and grass, it is too late, Therefore, the first batch can only mobilize so much, and the next few days will need to be prepared. ”

"I believe that once the Liaodong border army goes to the capital, Daishan and Jierharang, who are stationed south of the Liaohe River, will definitely make moves, and at that point, the adults don't need to mobilize any troops at all, and I also assert that after Daishan and Jierharang start to attack, the Houjin Tartars led by Dolgon will definitely leave Changping and march in the direction of Shanhaiguan."

Shi Kefa's face changed, he thought of another possibility, and sure enough, Yan Yingyuan also said this.

"Dolgon will not attack the capital, the purpose of Huang Taiji is to mobilize the Liaodong border army, and then Daishan, Jierharang and Dolgon, while attacking Shanhaiguan, can attack the Liaodong border army back and forth, and in the case of being caught off guard, the Liaodong border army is likely to collapse, and at that time, the fall of Liaodong is a sure thing, if it is not done well, the capital will also be affected, and it may even be broken by the Houjin Tartars......"

Shi Kefa finally spoke again.

"Lord Yan's meaning, this official understands, that is, the army of less than 100,000 is dispatched to the capital, and the itinerary cannot be too fast, we must pay attention to the movements of the Houjin Tartars led by Dolgon at any time, once there is a situation that may be attacked from front to back, we must quickly rush back to Liaodong, is this what it means?"

"You don't necessarily have to go back to Liaodong, even if you are stationed in Yongping Mansion, it is also a great deterrent for the Houjin Tartars, once this is done, all the arrangements of the Houjin Tartars will have no effect."

"That's not necessarily, the 100,000 or so Liaodong border troops, Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou, and even Montenegro and other places may not be able to hold it."

Yan Yingyuan had a sneer on his face.

"I have thought about it a long time ago, Huang Taiji's appetite is very big, I'm afraid I didn't look at these places, what I saw was the Guanning Jin defense line, Huang Taiji knew very well that he couldn't take the Guanning Jin defense line, even if he took Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou, he might not be able to hold it, and scatter his troops in these places, and he could only be gradually eliminated in the future, so he thought that Huang Taiji would not occupy these places, once his goal was not achieved, these places were likely to be uninhabited for thousands of miles."

Shi Kefa's body trembled slightly, Yan Yingyuan hit the nail on the head and said the consequences faced by Liaodong, this is actually the possibility he thought of, Houjin Tartar has suffered heavy losses in Liaodong, especially in Xiping Fort, it can be said that these lessons, Huang Taiji will never forget, the Liaodong border army can not exterminate Houjin Tartar, but Jiangning Battalion can do it.

Shi Kefa didn't care about anything else, and pointed to the map on the table and spoke to Yan Yingyuan.

"Lord Yan, this official's opinion is to take the initiative to abandon Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou, shrink the troops, stabilize the Guanningjin defense line, focus on Dalinghe City and Shanhaiguan, deploy heavy troops, and the specific deployment of troops is that 50,000 sergeants are stationed in Dalinghe City, 30,000 sergeants are stationed in Jinzhou, 30,000 sergeants are stationed in Ningyuan, and 80,000 sergeants are stationed in Shanhaiguan, and in addition, 10,000 troops are mobile in the area of Montenegro, so the deployment can ensure that the Guanningjin defense line is unharmed."

Yan Yingyuan's face finally showed a smile, according to this deployment, Dai Shan and Ji Erharang do not have any chance, once they lead the army to directly attack Shanhaiguan, they will have to face an army of more than 100,000 behind them, they dare not underestimate this, in case they fall into the heavy encirclement of the Liaodong border army, they do not dare to guarantee that they can retreat with their whole body, in addition, Dolgon launched an attack from the pass, because there are many Liaodong border troops guarding Shanhaiguan, Dolgon can't think of a good way, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to meet with Daishan and Jierharang, When the situation reaches such a situation, presumably Huang Taiji will stop immediately, but one thing is unavoidable, that is, Montenegro, Yizhou, Quang Ninh and Xipingbao and other places will definitely encounter slaughter.

Shi Kefa adopted Yan Yingyuan's suggestion and decided to send less than 100,000 Liaodong border troops as a large army to support the capital, and the speed of action of the army was very slow, not in a hurry at all, and the scouts sent focused on investigating the movements of the army led by Dolgon.

Such an arrangement can be said to have completely thwarted Huang Taiji's plan.

Huang Taiji would never have dreamed that he could make the Ming court panic and put Liaodong under unprecedented pressure, but he couldn't imagine that Su Tiancheng's hand had already reached Liaodong, and this invisible hand stabilized the situation in Liaodong and made his plan almost completely frustrated.
