I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 380 Xiong Tingbi’s idea
After Yang Lian's analysis, Xiong Tingbi and others quickly made a plan and decided to discuss it with Al Zhai and others first.

If he agrees, then let's do it together. When the time comes, Ming Dynasty will also give him full support and let him secure the top spot in the Ongjit Tribunal.

If he doesn't agree, then Xiong Tingbi will send people to do it himself in Liaodong, and then deal with Weng Jishit's troops according to the situation.

Everyone must have made up their minds about such a major matter. After some discussion, Zhang Quan and others announced their withdrawal.

However, when Yang Liang was about to leave, he was left by Xiong Tingbi to continue the discussion.

"Wen Ru (Yang Lian's nickname), I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. It's completely different from you last year."

Xiong Tingbi had just settled a matter close to his heart, and he couldn't help but feel happy, so he looked at Yang Lian and sighed.

"Don't make fun of me. How can I change? Could it be that my methods are more ruthless?"

When Yang Lian heard Xiong Tingbi teasing him like this, he picked up the tea cup and asked with interest.

"No, it's just that you have considered things more carefully. Last year, you were appointed by His Majesty as the imperial envoy to appease Liaodong. At that time, you were selfless and selfless. As soon as you came here, you launched a big battle. Not only did you investigate the corruption of ink in Liaoyang, but you also implicated the Liao people. Collaboration with the enemy.

But since taking over as governor of Liaodong this year, he has considered the issue more comprehensively.I was impressed by how you handled the Zai Sai today. The ruthlessness and decisiveness in handling things are totally not your style. "

When Yang Lian heard this, he was immediately speechless, then smiled bitterly and said:

"I definitely wouldn't have done this if it was last year, but things in Liaodong are too complicated. Since this year, there have been wars in Shenyang, farmland inspections, work-for-relief, etc.

After such an experience, anyone's mind will change. After all, Liaodong has finally managed to hold on to the situation. This good situation must not be destroyed, otherwise we will really lose His Majesty's love. "

"It is true. Your Majesty is very concerned about the war in Liaodong and has given you the greatest support. Naturally, we ministers cannot live up to your Majesty's trust. But after what you just said, I also have ideas about the future plans for Jianlu."

Xiong Tingbi stood up as he spoke, then called the scribe and asked him to bring over a map of Liaodong.

Yang Lian immediately understood that this was the real reason for staying, and became even more curious about what Xiong Tingbi was thinking.

After a while, the clerk brought a map of Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi took it and slowly opened it on the table, then called Yang Lian to come over and check it out.

"Now we are in the south, and Jianlu is in the north. But the places where they have been operating for a long time are the Sarhu, Kaiyuan, and Tieling areas. Although the northern part of Neikarkha to the west of Kaiyuan has just been conquered by Yue Tuo, there are still Weng The Jishit tribe is eyeing the south, and Jianlu is not stable here.

Originally, I wanted to use this as a breakthrough and use Lin Dan Khan and Ong Jishit's troops to go north and capture all of Inner Khalkha, thus cutting off the Jianlu's westward advance.Then he led troops to conquer Kaiyuan, gradually advancing eastward, slowly squeezing the key areas of Jianlu, and advancing slowly. With one attack from Sun Gong, the city of Sarhu could not be captured. "

After hearing this, Yang Lian pondered for a moment and expressed the questions in his heart.

"The old slave will not sit still and wait for death. I think this is the reason why he promised Li Erzhan and was willing to send troops to North Korea. He was afraid that we would block them, so he had to move around to gain space. If we gather Lin Dan Khan, When Ongishit's troops went north to attack Inner Khalkha, he could send troops to resist, and then send a partial division to North Korea to disrupt the rear.

In this way we will also be in a dilemma.Even if they capture Nekarkha and let them open up a situation in North Korea, it would not be a good thing. "

"Hahaha, Wen Ru, you are half right, but you didn't get to the point. Who said we should take the initiative to attack Inner Khalkha? Now the overall advantage lies with me, why should I rush to attack? I just need to be patient and wait. Just follow the old slave and take action."

Xiong Tingbi laughed loudly when he heard this and immediately explained. Yang Lian was slightly stunned when he heard this and looked at Xiong Tingbi in confusion.

Xiong Tingbi smiled when he saw this and said:
"Thankfully, I just said that you are smart and have become so different. Why can't you figure it out? Come and see!"

As he spoke, Xiong Tingbi drew on the map and explained patiently to Yang Lian.

"There are three difficulties for the Jianqi now. First, there is not enough food. This summer there was already a severe drought. Since autumn, there has been more rain. This year, due to successive defeats, we have not plundered the food of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, according to the calculations made by Jinyiwei's spies and me, even if they harvest autumn grain now, the grain they will use will last until December, or at most February or March.They will have no food at all by then, so they must take action before February or March next year, otherwise it will be unsustainable. Therefore, time is mine. As long as we stabilize, they will become more and more anxious. "

Yang Lian also stroked his beard after hearing this. Xiong Tingbi was right. The Ming Dynasty is not in a hurry now. Although there is also a severe drought in Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong is much better than that of Jianlu due to the aid allocated by the court and the transportation of grain and grass by sea. .

"Indeed, no wonder the old slave asked Zaisai to come back, just to let us start moving in a hurry."

"You're right, I think so too. But as long as Zaisai is solved, everything will be easy to deal with. This will not be the second issue with Jianlu's dilemma."

As he spoke, Xiong Tingbi drew an arc on the map along North Korea, Sarhu, Kaiyuan, Neikalkha, and Horqin, and continued:

"The second reason lies in the disadvantage of its terrain. Originally, they descended from Kaiyuan and Fushun to attack Shenyang. However, after being blocked by our army, they suffered two consecutive defeats. The situation in Shenyang gradually stabilized, and they were unable to lead a large army. Go south. That's why we were forced to use troops in Neikalka and North Korea in order to disperse our military strength and open up the situation.

But the old slave's abacus is very loud, but Inner Khalkha and North Korea are located on the east and west ends of the country, and the two places are nearly [-] miles apart. If they use troops in North Korea, we will take the initiative to attack Inner Khalkha.

If they want to use troops against Inner Khalkha, we will attack from North Korea and Zhenjiang Fort.Such a distance makes it difficult to control. "

Xiong Tingbi made such an in-depth analysis that Yang Lian couldn't help but nod.

"Now it seems that Jianlu is like a trapped beast, You Dou'er, as long as we wait for him to send troops."

"What Wen Ru said is true. This has also been my view on Jianlu all along. In the past, because of the lack of military preparation and the lack of attachment by the Liao people, we let Jianlu find the right opportunity. Now we have calmed down, not only Your Majesty. Support, return the lives of all the generals, and have no fear of building captives.

Now control the Ongjishit tribe, win over Lin Dan Khan to send troops together, and then stabilize Liaodong, build civil affairs internally, and build military armaments externally.We waited for Jianlu to move before we took action, because they still had a major disadvantage. "
