Chapter 539 No Advice from a Steady Veteran
"Your Majesty, the Jianlu messenger was indeed intercepted. After interrogation, it was learned that he was sent by the slave chief Taiji to send the patriarch of the Aohan tribe to Shenyang. He had important matters to discuss. But what is the specific matter? Can't even ask."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he understood that it wasn't that Gao Yingyuan couldn't ask, but that the messenger really didn't know what was going on.To persuade Huang Taiji to ascend the throne as emperor, only those close to the Horqin clan could tell.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen replied to Gao Yingyuan in a private chat: "I know, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Aohan tribe, and go to Guihua City as soon as possible!"

The messenger sent by Huang Taiji to the Aohan tribe has been intercepted, which means that the Aohan tribe will not receive this notice, and the enthronement ceremony of Huang Taiji will be without the Aohan tribe's observation ceremony, hehe, what Wu Ergou said , wait and see the good show!

The corner of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth curled slightly, in a good mood, so he turned his attention to the battle on the grassland.He chatted with Li Dingguo privately and asked: "How is the assembly of the ministries?"

At this time, Li Dingguo had already arrived at the side of Hong Chengchou, governor of Yansui.Hearing the emperor's question, he waited for a while, and after consulting Hong Chengchou, he replied: "Hong Yan Wang... Hong Zhongcheng estimated that the decree has spread to various places, and after assembly, they should all come to Yulin one after another. The cavalry The speed is fast enough, and it should be able to assemble in Yulin within a day or two!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and Lu Ruipeng replied similarly.The previously estimated three days were very tight and probably not enough.But now that the situation in Guihua City is changing for the better, there is no rush to rush to the grassland in three days.

After all, once the cavalry set off on the grassland, it is very likely that they will have to fight continuously.Therefore, if they can gather at the border and rest for a day before setting off, it will have a good impact on the follow-up combat power on the grassland.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Emperor Chongzhen is quite optimistic about this grassland battle.

However, there are still many people who have a different opinion from him. For example, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, is very worried.

Not only him, but also the staff of the governor's mansion.At this time, in the three-sided governor's mansion in Guyuan, an aide with a goatee said to Yang He worriedly: "My lord governor, according to the order, the cavalry troops from all over the country have been dispatched. Now they have all set off Yes. The subordinates are worried that if there is an accident, the situation in various places may be bad!"

"Yes, Governor, my subordinates also think that the Governor's Mansion must take precautions and prepare for it." Another fat staff member also said.

Yang He nodded, and said with a helpless face: "These officials all know, but the order is strict, and this official is also helpless!"

Hearing this, the goatee suddenly rolled his eyes and reminded in a low voice: "Master Governor, according to the current situation, the military power is concentrated in Yulin, which is of great benefit to the governor of Yansui. The subordinates thought , Could it be that the governor of Yansui is using chicken feathers as an arrow, just to create a situation where he and the family of the governor of Yansui dominate the three sides?"

"That's right, the subordinate said something that shouldn't be said. Now that the power is being discussed among the three parties, Governor Yansui is already going to become No. 1." The fat aide also said worriedly.

Yang He's face was very ugly when he heard it, and of course he could feel it.Since Hong Chengchou went to serve as the governor of Yansui, he has been reused by the court and favored by the emperor.Faintly, he felt that his position was threatened.At some point, he regretted it in his heart, thinking that he should not recommend Hong Chengchou to be the governor of Yansui.

For more than half a year, Hong Chengchou's side has continuously reported victories to the court, and it seems that they have contributed a lot.But on my own side, I was trying to appease the victims, organize them to build water conservancy projects, and try not to give them the opportunity to gather crowds to rebel.Compared with what Hong Chengchou was doing, these things seemed pale and powerless.

Now that the elite cavalry troops from all over the country have been transferred, the deterrent power of the official army has been greatly weakened.It's okay for now, but if the battle on the grassland fails and the cavalry from all over the country can't come back, it will be a big trouble after autumn.

Yang He speculated from the current weather conditions that this year the Sanbian area will be another disaster year.Thinking of this, he changed his mind, and said to the goatee: "You are right, I still need to guard against this, and I can't passively wait for the imperial court's order. You should immediately draft a copy for me. Memorial, explain the current situation, once the battle on the grassland fails, I will have an explanation!"

For a long time, Daming has basically never put all his eggs in one basket, gathering troops from three sides to go out to deal with the Mongolian tribes.What's more, those outside the Great Wall are the members of the Jin family, the nominal king on the grassland, and the sphere of influence of Lin Danhan.

You know, the grassland is the grassland of the Mongolians.It is rare for the Han people to go to the grasslands and defeat the Mongols.After all, it is not as powerful as it was at the beginning of the founding of the country, otherwise Liaodong would not be lost.

The more he thought about it, the less optimistic Yang He was about this grassland battle.Just as his staff worried, as the highest official of the three sides, he must be responsible for the stability of the three sides.Once the cavalry can't come back, he will be under great pressure.

Thinking of this, Yang He added: "The official's attitude towards the Grassland War must be clearly stated in the memorial, and the tone can be appropriately emphasized to show my concern. There is also the urging intention of the governor of Yansui. To make it clear, if something happens, I will have my own explanation!"

"The subordinate understands that the governor's foresight must be known to the court and the emperor." The goatee nodded solemnly.

The fat staff next to him also said: "Yes, let the court and the emperor understand that the three sides still depend on the governor to be safe!"

Yang He nodded, then shook his head and sighed: "After all, the emperor is still young, and it is natural to be a little bit overjoyed! It's just a pity that the emperor doesn't have the advice of prudent veterans around him. The emperor doesn't even think about it. If the Mongols are so easy to fight, the Hetao is so easy." If it is easy to occupy, why didn’t the previous emperors of all dynasties get the merit of expanding the territory and sue the Taimiao!”

Upon hearing this, his staff members immediately agreed and agreed with him.

In the decree sent by Hong Chengchou before, it is naturally impossible to disclose the specific situation on the grassland. He just said that according to the emperor's decree, an urgent war should be launched on the grassland.

Of course, he is the governor of Yansui and a subordinate of the governor of the three sides. Although he is conveying the will, if he reports the situation of the grassland to the governor of the three sides orally and privately, the news will not be leaked, and Yang He can feel at ease. .

But Hong Chengchou didn't do this, and he didn't know whether it was out of caution or for other unspeakable reasons, so only Hong Chengchou himself knew.
