In the first year of the Apocalypse, on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, it is appropriate to get married and move, and avoid opening the market for cooking.

Gently placing the letter in his hand on the table, Xiong Tingbi glanced around the room and then slowly said: "This is a letter from Youtun. Guangning was attacked by a sneak attack. It was done by Jiannu."

After hearing what Xiong Tingbi said, everyone in the room was slightly stunned. What was Jiannu doing? People in the room couldn't help but look at each other, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Xiong Tingbi.

You Shigong, who was sitting on the side, pondered for a moment before saying: "Commander, no matter what Jiannu wants to do, we cannot let them succeed. I am willing to take people to Guangning and bring Guangning back."

Looking at You Shigong with an excited face, Xiong Tingbi gently shook his head and motioned for him to sit down. He frowned and looked at the map behind him. After a long time, Xiong Tingbi cast his eyes on Zuo Guangdou aside and said seriously.

: "Zuo Jinglue, do you have any comments? You might as well tell me and listen."

Zuo Guangdou frowned slightly, and also cast his gaze on the map. He shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly: "Master Xiong, I used to think that I could be promoted to anything, and that I could learn even if I didn't know it. But.

After arriving in Liaodong, Xianguan discovered that it was not like that. Military affairs were the most important thing for the country and should not be taken carelessly. Xianguan was not familiar with military matters. If he occupied this position, not only would he not be able to accomplish anything, but

Something will happen. So I have already submitted my resignation letter to the emperor, but seeing the terrain of Ningyuan, I still have something to say."

After hearing Zuo Guangdou's words, Xiong Tingbi was stunned. He bowed to Zuo Guangdou for a long time and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, you are so righteous!" Although Zuo Guangdou said lightly that he was resigning, the matter was far from over.

So simple.

Zuo Guangdou was appointed by Emperor Tianqi to be the manager of Liaodong. After arriving in Liaodong for only ten months, he was resigned, which can easily make people suspicious. Even if the minister did not write a letter to impeach, Emperor Tianqi would inevitably have no idea in his mind.

The future is hard to say. Being able to put aside his own future for the sake of national affairs, Xiong Tingbi respects Zuo Guangdou very much. At the very least, his character is first-rate in the world.

Seeing what Zuo Guangdou said, Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, sir, just say it."

Nodding slowly, Zuo Guangdou came to the map and said in a deep voice: Guangning is located on the west side of Yiwulu Mountain, four hundred miles away from Shenyang City in the east and two hundred and fifty miles away from Jinzhou in the southwest. The headquarters of the Liaodong General Army is here.

It is located in Guangning, so Guangning's position is very important. However, during the Battle of Sarhu, Lin Dan Khan of the Mongolian Chahar Tribe took advantage of the empty defense of the Ming Dynasty and attacked Guangning. The Battle of Sarhu

After that, the imperial court urgently needed to stabilize Liaodong, so there was no further dispute with the Chahar tribe."

Seeing Zuo Guangdou's tactful words, Xiong Tingbi also nodded. In fact, at that time, the Ming army was severely weakened and no longer had the strength to break with the Chahar tribe. If faced with a second attack by Jiannu and the Mongolian Tatars, Liaodong

It was definitely impossible to save it. In order to save Liaodong, the imperial court acquiesced to Lin Dan Khan's occupation of Guangning.

Up to now, the Ming Dynasty and Lin Dan Khan have always been allies, and they have never met each other at war. Guangning City has become a friendship city between the two sides. Businessmen trade with each other here, Mongolians buy iron pots here, and Han people buy iron pots here.

It was to buy fur horses. I had been doing this for so many years, but I couldn't explain many things. Xiong Tingbi nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.

Seeing Xiong Tingbi nodding, Zuo Guangdou knew that he didn't need to talk anymore. After pondering for a moment, Zuo Guangdou continued: "To the south of Guangning City is the right village of my Ming Dynasty, and further to the south is the sea. To the west is my Ming Dynasty. Yizhou and Dalinghe Fort in the North are Jinzhou to the west. Liaohe River is to the east. After crossing the Liaohe River, there is Shenyang. There is only one way to attack Guangning, and that is to the north of Guangning. At that time, Chaha The path that Erbu Lindan Khan once walked."

Nodding slowly, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, and the letter also said so." After thinking about it with a frown, Xiong Tingbi said with a gloomy face: "Jiannu has captured Guangning City. , this shows that they came from the Mongolian Tatars."

Zuo Guangdou also nodded cautiously, looked at Xiong Tingbi and said: "Jiannu is here in Kaiyuan, Tieling, but Guangning is in the hinterland of western Liaoning. Although the distance is only a few hundred miles, it is still a premeditated attack here. It is impossible for Jiannu to go around so far just to attack Guangning. There must be other things involved. Even if Jiannu captures Guangning, it is impossible to hold it. In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has gained strength in Liaodong. If it were not for the estimated alliance with Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe, we would have taken Guangning back long ago. If the Jiannu captured Guangning, we would naturally not have such scruples, which the Jiannu would not Unexpectedly, they came anyway."

After pondering for a long time, Xiong Tingbi nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "In other words, Jiannu's actions this time must have a purpose. As for what purpose it is, it's hard to say. We don't know yet. But No matter what the purpose is, it is not a good thing for us."

Looking at Xiong Tingbi, Zuo Guangdou pondered for a moment before saying: "Although I don't understand military affairs and can't command battles, I still have some insights into the situation. Now we don't know the purpose of establishing slaves, so we might as well change it to another one." Thinking about it from a different perspective, how did they come to Guangning? To the north of Guangning is the territory of the Mongolian Tatars. How could Lin Dan Khan allow the Jiannu to come here? And also conquered Guangning?"

"It is impossible to happen. Without the mutual trade between Guangning and Guangning, Mongolian Lin Dan Khan and his family would not be able to guarantee their daily necessities. However, the Mongolian Tatars are not monolithic. Although the entire Monan Mongolia is nominally under Lin Dan Khan's deployment, However, there are also many tribes that are not on good terms with Lin Dan Khan, and their relationship with each other is not very good. Opposite Guangning is the five tribes of Nekalka in Mongolia, all tribes controlled by Lin Dan Khan. Since the slaves came here, it means that the inner Kalka tribes in Mongolia are controlled by Lin Dan Khan. The five Kalkha tribes have reached an agreement with Jiannu." Xiong Tingbi frowned tightly at this time and stared at the map with a cautious look on his face.

Zuo Guangdou looked at Xiong Tingbi and stopped talking, allowing him to think quietly.

After a long time, Xiong Tingbi turned around with a solemn expression and said calmly: "I have thought of it. This is a big conspiracy to establish slaves. Their goal is not our Ming Dynasty. From sending people to break into the Great Wall to attacking Guangzhou Ningcheng, everything is a conspiracy. Their target is not us but Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe. I don’t know what method Jiannu used to unite the Mongolian Tatars from the five inner Khalkha tribes. They are preparing to attack Lindan Khan. .”

Zuo Guangdou was also shocked. The alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolian Lin Dan Khan was very good. If Lin Dan Khan was destroyed, the entire Mongolia would fall into the hands of Jian Nu. In this way, facing Jian Nu

It was not just Liaodong that was attacked, but the entire border of Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Zuo Guangdou looking at him, Xiong Tingbi frowned tightly. He pondered for a long time and sighed deeply. Sitting weakly on the chair, Xiong Tingbi patted his forehead and said with a wry smile: "

I have always been cautious, fearing that something would go wrong, but I didn't expect to be fooled by the slave establishment. The 30,000 people they sent in were definitely not all cavalry of the slave establishment, many of them were Mongolian Tatars.

We had no intention of letting them go back without a trace, and their only purpose was to attract our attention."

Patting his forehead hard, Xiong Tingbi continued: "In this way, we fell into Jiannu's trap and sent 50,000 troops to Zunhua. In order to comply with Jiannu's wishes, even if all those 30,000 people were annihilated.

It doesn’t help matters.”

As if he felt that Xiong Tingbi was too depressed, Zuo Guangdou said in a deep voice: "It's not the commander-in-chief's fault for this matter. Jiannu broke into the Great Wall and Zunhua City is in emergency. It's right for us to send King Qin to rescue him."

Xiong Tingbi shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a dejected face: "This is my fault. When the matter is over, I will apologize to the emperor. We can send troops anywhere to help the king, but we in Liaodong cannot, because of the establishment of slaves

They want us to send people in. We don’t have to send people at all. There are three major battalions in the capital, Jizhou has military forces from Baoding and other places, and there are also military forces from the governors of the three sides and Datong. Even if we don’t send troops, the slaves will

Thirty thousand people can't make a big wave."

Sighing deeply, Xiong Tingbi said with a look of regret: "At first, I thought that thanks to King Qin's saving efforts, the emperor would not blame me, but now that I think about it, this idea is so stupid. How can a minister do it for his own benefit?

If you do such a thing privately, you are really acting like a minister!"

"Sir, even if there is nothing we can do here in Liaodong, we can still stand out from other places to help!" Looking at Xiong Tingbi, Zuo Guangdou said hesitantly.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiong Wencan said in a deep voice: "Our Ming Dynasty cavalry is so sparse that we have no ability to go out of the fortress. We can only go out from Guangning, because we are relatively close to the Mongolian Tatars and their battlefield is also here, so we have the ability.

Stop them here. This is why Jiannu attacked Guangning in advance. They just don’t want us to send troops from there, and they also want to attract our attention. "

"But sir, we can take Guangning back! Then lead the troops out to stop them!" Zuo Guangdou stood up suddenly and said with excitement.

Xiong Tingbi sighed softly, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, braced himself up and said to You Shigong, who was looking dumbfounded on the side: "No matter what, we must take down Guangning first, and send an order to the guard of Xiping Fort Luo

Consistently, Zuo Liangyu, the guard general of the left camp, and Chen Guangxu, the guard general of the right camp, asked them to lead their troops to Guangning and take Guangning back first." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster.
