Chapter 88

None of the generals could refute the reason given by Sun Chuanting, because it was politically correct.

Who dares to say that the emperor is left alone, fearing that it is too late to send troops, and if there is a slight hesitation, it will be considered a problem.

With the suspicious character of Emperor Chongzhen, whoever said that he was not in a hurry to save him would fail politically, and his future would be ruined immediately.

At this time, Beijing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the existing problems emerged. Once there was a problem, the whole country was contained.

After hearing Sun Chuanting's words, Sun Shoufa didn't dare to continue, and retreated helplessly.

Many generals actually didn't want to take the initiative to attack. After all, relying on the defense of the car battalion, they had a great chance of winning, and taking the initiative to attack would inevitably lead to heavy casualties.Furthermore, even if they won the battle, they still had to go to Beizhiqin King to face the fierce Tartars. After thinking about it, they thought it was not worthwhile.

Sun Chuanting naturally knew what the generals were thinking, and knew that these people wanted to fish in Henan. In fact, if the situation allowed, Sun Chuanting would also want to fish in Henan, but the military rations were like a sharp sword hanging over his head, so he had to quick decision.

Now all the soldiers don't know that the army rations are about to run out. If they knew, the army might have already started to be in chaos, and the morale of the army has been shaken, so there is no need to talk about a decisive battle with the Chuang army.

Sun Chuanting is very aware of his strengths and weaknesses. Car camping is his strength, and food is his weakness.

If he fought near Tongguan, he would be invincible, but the deeper he went into Henan and the longer the grain road, the more dangerous he would be.

In the hinterland of Henan, no matter how good his car battalion is at defending, the soldiers still have to eat, and as long as the invading army takes his food for a certain distance, he will have to follow in the footsteps of Hong Chengchou.

If time is not urgent, Sun Chuanting has trained a fine cavalry to guard the grain road, then he will not be afraid of breaking into the army when he goes deep into the hinterland, but now he has no cavalry, and the deeper he goes, the more dangerous he will be.

There are thousands of miles of bare land in Henan, lack of food and grass, and the logistics problem will be his key point. Sun Chuanting knows this, but he has to go deep, because the top is urgent. If he doesn't chase Li Zicheng, he can't kill the intruders. Ways to fulfill the Holy Order.

This is also the reason why Sun Chuanting had to chase all the way to Xiangcheng knowing that going deep would leave hidden dangers.

Xiangcheng was already in the central part of Henan. Li Zicheng gathered his troops here. Not to mention that Sun Chuanting urgently needed to take down Xiangcheng to get supplies, but if Li Zicheng continued to retreat eastward and lured him deep, would he pursue it or not?

Most of them will lose after chasing, and if they don't chase, they will not be able to fulfill their holy orders. For various reasons, Sun Chuanting made up his mind to make a quick decision.

After Sun Shoufa stepped down, seeing that Sun Chuanting had made up his mind, the generals couldn't help being silent for a while, and they didn't dare to speak out against it.

After Sun Chuanting arrived in Shaanxi, he saw that the situation in Zhongzhou was corrupt, and he knew that he had said something wrong in front of Chongzhen.

He knew that if he couldn't pacify Li Zicheng, the ending would be another Yuan Chonghuan, and in the end there was only one dead end.

After realizing his situation, Sun Chuanting had put his life on the line, so he dared to kill Heren Long Liwei, as well as the lawless gentry in Shaanxi, confiscating their wealth and sufficient military resources.

Because he knew that if he couldn't wipe out the bandits, he would either die at the hands of the bandits or be killed by the court.

For a person who is determined to die, many generals naturally dare not provoke him.

Inside the tent, a needle could be heard for a while, and after a while, it was Gao Jie who broke the silence, "Master, since there is a decisive battle, how should we fight this battle?"

Sun Chuanting let out a foul breath, "This governor is going to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the intruders is in Xiangcheng, and fight against them as soon as possible. However, the casualties in the hard attack are too great, and we still need all the generals to brainstorm to see if we can mobilize the intruders to fight."

If the officers and soldiers take the initiative to attack the bandit soldiers, they will have to break through the camps one after another, and they will probably exhaust themselves to death in the end.

If Li Zicheng can be lured to take the initiative to fight, with the quality of the bandits, as long as he breaks through a few of his key troops, the bandits who leave the camp will be defeated, and the effort required by the officers and soldiers will be much less.

At that moment, everyone in the tent was discussing for a while, thinking about how to lead Li Zicheng to fight.

Li Yongfu thought that the Qin army was rushing to make weapons, so he couldn't help asking: "Does the supervisor want to attack the city with a team of troops and lead the battalions of intruders outside the city to fight?"

Sun Chuanting nodded in satisfaction, "I do have such an idea, but I don't know which general is willing to lead the army to attack Xiangcheng?"

The outside of Xiangcheng is full of intruders' barracks. If you lead an army to attack Xiangcheng at this time, you will inevitably be flanked by intruders inside and outside, and you will suffer a great defeat.

This is obviously not a good task. Even if the troops outside the city are successfully lured out of the camp, some of the troops who attacked the city will suffer heavy losses.

After hearing this, many generals couldn't help being silent. Even Chen Yongfu, who had guessed Sun Chuanting's intentions, shrank back. Everyone didn't want to take such a task.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting's face darkened, and he was about to order the general, when the curtain was suddenly lifted by a general, and he walked quickly to the middle, knelt down on one knee, and raised a letter above his head, "Report to the supervisor , the letter just sent by the burglars in the city!"

A trace of doubt appeared on Sun Chuanting's sunken face, he was slightly taken aback, then he stretched out his hand, signaling the general to present the letter.

After Sun Chuanting took it, he started to watch directly, his brows furrowed immediately.

The generals saw that Sun Chuanting had finished reading the letter and put it aside, but the whole person was silent, no sadness or joy could be seen on his face.

Gao Jie thought that Sun Chuanting was unhappy because no one came out to take orders, so he gritted his teeth and stood up, cupping his fists and said: "Master, the general is willing to take orders to attack Xiangcheng."

Gao Jie and Li Zicheng are at odds, Li Zicheng won the world, Gao Jie will definitely be wiped out, he really wants to kill Li Zicheng, and after Sun Chuanting killed He Renlong, he took good care of him and asked him to lead He Renlong's troops, Gao Jie felt in his heart I am very grateful, so I stood up at this time.

After Sun Chuanting heard this, he smiled and was very satisfied with Gao Jie, but he shook his head, "The strategy of attacking Xiangcheng is cancelled."

Sun Chuanting waved the letter just now, and suddenly asked again: "This is Li Zicheng's letter of war to me, asking me to fight in three days, what do you think he intends?"

The generals were overjoyed when they heard that Li Zicheng was willing to fight without any temptation. Isn't this just in their favor.

Gao Jie didn't think about it, so he said happily: "Could it be that Li Zicheng is out of food?"

Some of the generals showed joy, and some frowned slightly, but Sun Chuanting sneered, "I don't think he is out of food, but sent someone to copy the way of Bendu's back, and the road of Bendu's grain was cut off."

"Ah!" All the generals in the tent immediately exclaimed, the car camp was moving slowly, the intruders were really going to cut off their food roads, once the army ran out of food, it would be difficult for the car camp to escape.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting slapped them on the desk and asked them to be quiet, "Why are you so nervous? Li Zicheng wants to drag the governor with a dated battle, and then send troops to encircle the governor's grain road. Retreat in the direction and lead Li Zicheng to pursue."

"What does the supervisor mean by pretending to be out of food, and then retreat?" Some generals didn't want to understand, and asked.

There were not many generals in the Ming Dynasty who could obey orders, and most of the others were Zuo Liangyu's generation. Sun Chuanting was quite patient with these subordinates who could obey orders, and explained: "Since Li Zicheng decided to copy the Du Liang Dao, then the Du Even if someone goes to attack Xiangcheng, he will never go out to fight, he will only wait for his men to cut off the grain road of the governor, and wait for the army of the governor to collapse, so the strategy of attacking Xiangcheng to lure the enemy to fight is not advisable."

"The governor decided to retreat to Nanyang. He didn't pretend to be out of food, but told Li Zi that the governor had seen through his plot and was worried that the food road would be cut off, so he retreated hastily. Li Zicheng might not believe me when I ran out of food, but I saw through his plan Li Zicheng will believe it if he is worried that the food road will be cut off!" Sun Chuanting was sure of Li Zicheng, and said with a smile: "As long as the governor intentionally creates some confusion when the army retreats, and sells Li Zicheng a loophole, he will definitely lead the army to chase after him. Come, when the time comes, the governor will be able to fight with him all at once."

"The superintendent's trick!" Gao Jie slapped his thigh, and even he understood it, all the generals' eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting glanced at the generals for the last time, "This battle is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and all ministries must obey the orders of the governor, and no mistakes are allowed. If you don't obey the orders, don't blame the ruthless military law. Now the capital has issued an order. After an hour, I will lead the Qin army to go first, and after Chen Zongbing and Qin Zongbing are separated, what should I do, but I want me to teach you?"

"The general understands!" Chen Yongfu and Qin Yiming immediately stood up and clasped their fists together.

An hour later, Sun Chuanting came out from the commander's tent wearing a suit of armor, and was helped onto a war horse by his personal guards.

He rode on the horse, glanced at Qin Jun who was pulling out the camp, then turned his eyes to Xiangcheng, and let out a heavy breath.

At this time, he was about to clamp his horse and retreat westward with the army, but the hand holding the rein suddenly froze. He fixed his eyes on the back of his hand, then suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, touched his cheek with his hand, and looked at it in front of his eyes. , suddenly full of astonishment~
