"Now the Ministry of War needs to prepare food and grass in advance. It is best to immediately distribute the food that can be mobilized to Jizhou, Tongzhou, and Shunyi. Among them, the food and grass in Jizhou must be sufficient, and Jiannu must not cross Jizhen!"

Sun Chengzong's playing style is actually very clear and simple and easy to understand.

Often, the simpler and easier to understand, the more valuable it is.

His meaning was to defend several important towns near the capital, and then let Yuan Chonghuan fight in the wild, so that Jiannu could not attack or defend, and forced Jiannu to get out of seclusion quickly, otherwise he would have to catch a turtle in a jar.

In the Ming army, only Ning Tieqi can barely fight against Huang Taiji's cavalry.

In fact, if this set is arranged, there will definitely be results.

The biggest problem with the deceased Jisi change in history is the disarray of organizations, and all the soldiers and horses of the kings ran around like headless flies.

Of course, the most tricky guy is actually Chongzhen, so I won’t mention this matter for the time being.

Chongzhen, who was holding the pastry, suddenly said: "It's okay to cross Jizhen. If he could lure Huang Taiji to the city of Beijing, would he be able to better consume Jiannu's troops?"

Sun Chengzong was shocked by Chongzhen's bold proposal.

Not only Sun Chengzong was scared, but also the people from the Ministry of War and the British Duke Zhang Weixian were scared.

They looked at the emperor with shocking eyes, and then they came to their senses. Looking at the emperor like this was a disrespect for the emperor, so they quickly lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty, if you lead to the capital..."

Sun Chengzong's words were interrupted by Chongzhen, and Chongzhen said: "Sun Aiqing, in my memory, my Ming army and Jiannu have never won a large-scale field battle. I remember correctly, right?"

After he said this, the ministers present didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Even so, you can't say it directly by Your Majesty Emperor. Although the Ming Dynasty was pressed to the ground by Jiannu in recent years, everyone still firmly believed that I, Ming Dynasty, was invincible.

But in the minds of Chongzhen, a modern person, there would be no such concept or idea.

If you can’t win, you can’t win. You must face reality bravely to find a way. You can’t be an ostrich. You can bury your head in the sand. You can’t think of it as a defeat in the past. You must not have even happened!

I clearly realize that I can’t win the battle in the field, and then I know how to fight next!

Sun Chengzong actually knew this, but he did not dare to say the tactic of leading Jiannu to the city of Beijing to fight the war of attrition.

After all, this is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty!

Outside the city of Beijing, those powerful men have many manors. If Jiannu came and was destroyed, wouldn’t his Sun Chengzong be drowned by the saliva of the nobles and royal relatives in the entire city of Beijing?

In fact, in history, in the Jisi Change, there was really someone who planned to play this tactic. He knew very well that Jiannu had entered the pass and it was no longer realistic to fight in the field.

Who is this person?

Liaodong Governor Yuan Chonghuan!

He and Nurhaci and Huang Taiji fought against each other, and the battle between Ningyuan was very fierce.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, he was probably the only one who knew the horror of this opponent very well.

After Huang Taiji entered the pass, he was thinking about a question: How to fight next?

Two choices: one, fight against the field and fight head-on; the other, fight against the defensive battle, consume Huang Taiji's strength, and then close the door and fight the dog.

Yuan Chonghuan used the first method. He sent Zhao Rujiao to lead 4,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry to rescue Zunhua quickly, which is the third day of November, three days later.

As a result, Zhao Rujiao was wiped out.

This deeply stimulated Yuan Chonghuan, which made Yuan Chonghuan decisively use the second tactic: lure the enemy to the city of Beijing.

As a result, this second tactic took Yuan Chonghuan's life in history, and made countless keyboard warriors in later generations scold him online. Fortunately, historians officially recognized him as a national hero.

Is the second tactic good?

Let me tell you that it is not a question of whether it is good or not, but there is no choice!

Sun Chengzong was also very clear that he could never beat the field battle. He had served as a commander in Liaodong and had seen the terrible terror of Huang Taiji's cavalry with his own eyes.

But he would never dare to propose the second tactic because he was trapping the emperor in the fire of war, and he could not afford this kind of gameplay.

However, he did not expect that the emperor would take the initiative to propose it at this time.

And the emperor actually admitted that the Ming army was definitely not a match for Jiannu when fighting in the field.

Chongzhen said lightly: "Sun Aiqing, when you designate strategies and tactics, I can accept it if you are bolder, as long as it makes sense."

Zhang Weixian on the side said, "Your Majesty, you must not. If Jiannu is at the city of Beijing, the situation will be in danger!"

Chongzhen raised his hand and interrupted the British Duke: "It's okay, I am the emperor, and there are many soldiers who are serving the king. Beijing City is extremely strong and Huang Taiji cannot fight. As long as he is led to Beijing City, he will definitely attack the city with all his strength. We can fight the war of attrition and defeat Huang Taiji!"

In fact, this is what Yuan Chonghuan planned in history.

But unfortunately, Yuan Chonghuan is not very good at playing politics.

This kind of gameplay is definitely the best strategy in military terms, but the worst strategy in politics.

But military is an extension of politics and cannot be separated.

What's the result?

Just got rid of myself.

All the nobles and royal relatives in Beijing impeached Yuan Chonghuan, and the censors' impeachment memorials were like ****.

It would be fine if I met a wise king, such as Liu Che, Li Shimin and others.

But Emperor Chongzhen was a person with a very serious suspicion, a very unstable mood, and a person who listened to the wind and rain.

Yuan Chonghuan is in a tragedy now.

History is such a history.

But now Chongzhen is no longer the original Chongzhen. He is a later generation, and he has opened up God's vision.

He knew very well what Yuan Chonghuan would think after Zhao Rujiao was defeated two days later.

Facts have also proved that Yuan Chonghuan's tactics were useful. If Chongzhen had not been imprisoned by Huang Taiji's troops when he was at the city, Zu Dashou would have escaped, this battle would have definitely defeated Huang Taiji.

Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, how can the old minister put Your Majesty in a dangerous place..."

"I have said that everything is aimed at winning battles, and I have a thumbs up to the current army of the Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Chongzhen came over and patted Li Banghua on the shoulder: "For more than a year, Li Aiqing has also worked hard."

He refers to Li Banghua's restructuring of Beijing Wei.

There is indeed a great resistance. The Jingwei was controlled by the nobles. The powerful people did not want Li Banghua to get out for a day, which also shows the rot of the Jingwei.

This further shows that there is no other choice without fighting attrition.
