Yizhou is a strong city on the Liaodong defense line. What food does Cao Yi and Li Da have? Can such fortress be captured by Ye first?"

Chen Yichen rarely got angry and asked Wu Rong, "You must know that Yizhou is not an ordinary military acropolis. It was established as prefectures and counties as early as the Jin Dynasty, and it is one of the few military and civilian cities in the entire Liaodong Metropolitan Office.

More importantly, Yizhou City happened to be stuck at the tail of the Liaoxi Corridor, echoing the beginning and end of Shanhaiguan, and splitting the two extremely important military fortresses in Liaodong, Ningyuan City and Guangning City.

If you cannot get Yizhou City in a short period of time, it means that the land supply channel to Guangning City is cut off. To use the later Chinese rooster map as a metaphor, it means that the chicken's neck is cut off and the entire Northeast chicken head is a piece The isolated enclave was definitely a dangerous situation in the past!

Seeing Chen Yichen getting angry, Wu Rong's nervous forehead sweat beads were pouring out. He felt that Shen Yichen's power was several times stronger than Liaodong general Cao Yi. Even though both sides were childhood friends, they felt a little in their hearts. shudder.

"Big... Go back to Master Shen, the Crown Prince Mengke is recruiting old subordinates in the Mongolian area of ​​Modong. In order to prevent him from receiving news, he led an ambush. The boss led 10,000 Liaodong cavalry to follow the guards, resulting in a shortage of drivers from Liaodong. "

"In addition, after the destruction of the Tatar tribe, the three Jurchen tribes who were once ruled and suppressed were ready to move. With the support of Tian Sheng Khan Yesen, they recently invaded the border in Jianzhou, Chenyang and other places, so General Cao could only lead his troops to assist in defense. "

"Continuously drawing troops and horses has caused the emptiness of the Liaodong Dusi. I thought that Governor Zhu led his troops to Shanhaiguan early, and the reinforcements and horses of the old master Chen Ge arrived in Liaodong soon. As a result, Yesen opened his plank road and secretly went to Chencang. His main attack direction was not Xuan at all It's not as good as Yizhou, and was caught off guard and unable to resist."

Wu Rong told the story in great grievance, and even the previous title of elder brother subconsciously changed to a formal official position.

Indeed, according to the plan discussed by Chen Yichen and Jin Lian, under normal circumstances, the troops were drawn. At the end of March and early April, with the Southern Expedition Army leaving Beijing, they had to immediately lead the Northern Expedition Army to the Liaodong Dusi to complete the encirclement of the three Guards of Uryanha. .

As a result, the change of the gate interrupted all deployments. Adhering to the strategy of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu's "to rescue the country first", even Zhu Yi's troops who had arrived at Shanhaiguan actually quietly returned to the capital overnight to wait for the opportunity. Who can care about Liaodong What is the situation?

After listening to Wu Rong's explanation, Chen Yichen took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He knew that the fault was not on the Liaodong Army.

After all, Mongolia is a world enemy that has been fighting against the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. In addition, the three Jurchens are rising in the north. The strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty did not shift from the capital to the grassland. It was a dream to rely on the Liaodong Dusi to intimidate the four directions. .

"How many soldiers and people were there in Yizhou City?"

"There are five thousand guards in Yizhou, and there are 30,000 people in Liaodong."

Hearing this number, Chen Yichen's face became more and more gloomy. During the Battle of Tumu Fort, he witnessed with his own eyes what would happen if the border towns were captured.

It is definitely a scene like hell on earth. One out of ten military and civilians will not survive. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will be captured and used as slaves and servants. The subsequent experience may be worse than death.

"Wu Rong!"

Chen Yichen signed up and scared Wu Rong to death, then hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I'm in the job!"

"The fast horse whips the order to Li Da, and ask him to lead the Liaodong cavalry to return to Guangning City immediately. Our cabinet department asked him to use the sign of the crown prince Mengke, not to let him serve as the Crown Khan's Qixue army to defend the Tartars The Tath tribe made a comeback!”

As soon as he said this, Chen Yichen felt that his anger could not be suppressed. He submitted a memorial to ask the crown prince to go to Liaodong to gather his old subordinates, in order to disgust, he also competed for the rule of the Mongolian Khan.

Who would have thought that Li Da was so honest and led his troops out of the country to escort Mengke to recruit old subordinates? No wonder he was in the outer school of the Duke of Yingtiancheng's palace. This kid had been studying for more than ten years and was a mess, so he really made him play with the gang. Lian Heng’s plan is really hard to do!

"Yes, obey your order!"

Facing Chen Yichen's military order, Wu Rong took the order without saying a word. The battlefield is about speed.

"Canghuotou, go to Juyongguan to inform the right governor Zhu Yi to explain the situation of Yizhou being captured by Yesian. Let him give up his plan to attack the three guards of Uryanha and lead his troops to march to Dagu Haipingkou by boat and arrive in Guangning after a boat. The city took over the power of the Liaodong general Cao Yi."

"Wang Neng, you take this official's warrant to Dagukou and hand it over to Fujian Commander Feng Zheng, and ask him to change his original deployment to Guangning City and land directly on the coast of Ningyuan City."

After orders were issued, Chen Yichen's confidants were fine, but the high-level officer of Ningyuanwei was stunned. This was equivalent to completely changing the plan formulated before the war. You should know that changing the orders every day is a taboo!

If an ordinary civilian commander did this, I am afraid that the Ningyuan Guard commander would risk contradicting the situation. After all, the marching arrangement is completely different from the cases in the military books. The consequence of talking about war on paper is that one general is incompetent and exhausting the three armies to death.

But Chen Yichen is different from ordinary civil servants and military supervisors. He has long been in charge of civil servants and his battlefield experience is not inferior to many military generals. He will never make low-level mistakes such as orders being changed every day.

But the problem is that after this operation, all the troops were mobilized to the Liaodong Dushi, which had nothing to do with the encirclement of the three guards of Wuliangha. What exactly did Ge Lao Chen want to do?

Unable to contain the doubts in his heart, and as the commander of Ningyuan Guard, he was responsible for the casualties of his subordinates. Guard Commander Liang Qiuhong stood up from his seat and respectfully asked Chen Yichen, "I will be foolish and dull." If you have something to be solved, please help Mr. Chen solve his doubts.”

"Liang Weishi can speak freely."

Compared with his attitude towards Wu Rong, Chen Yichen's attitude must be friendly for a long time when facing Liang Qiuhong's inquiry.

The reason is that both sides are not familiar with each other. Too strong deterrence will suppress the sharpness of the generals, making them timid and dare not speak out. The result of the evolution will be that they will completely lose their voice in front of civil servants as if they were breaking their backbone.

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu relied on the power of the civil servant group to gain power. Even though Yu Qian and Chen Yichen were in charge of the Ministry of War, they were still essentially different from military affairs, and the two sides were not the same.

With the suppression of old honors and relatives, Yu Qian deprived the Governor's Office of the Five Army of the Governor's Office of the People's Republic of China, and the local government implemented the system of governors and guarding the governors. In addition, Chen Yichen's new cabinet member was strong, and there was a trend of respect for literature and military inferiority.

The more this stage of change, Chen Yichen should pay attention to respect for military generals. If even he is used to the self-esteem and cannot tolerate the doubts of local generals, then the civil servant group in the center of the court will still Do you look at the border generals with your eyes in front of you?

Chen Yichen bowed his hand and returned the gift, which was completely different from the previous affinity attitude, made Liang Qiuhong a little flattered, and quickly bowed his waist and said, "Governor Zhu's troops stationed in Juyongguan are to join forces from the west wing. The three guards of Urianha, now the Master Chen has transferred him to Guangning City, the capital's garrison, which is further north. How can we conquer the three guards of Urianha?"

Facing Liang Qiuhong's inquiry, Chen Yichen replied with a smile: "Who said that our cabinet department is going to conquer the three guards of Urianha now?"

Forehead……

After hearing this, Liang Qiuhong stood there blankly, unable to say a word for a long time.

The announcements and deployments of the imperial court have been issued to commanders of the garrison stations at all levels. Can the official documents stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War be falsified?

Looking at the officer in Ningyuan Guard's command, Chen Yichen put away the smile on his face and said in a cold tone: "Capture the thief first, capture the king, the target of this cabinet is Yizhou Wala department! "

Tian Sheng Khan also used one move to attack the east and west, and captured Yizhou City with lightning speed. It was indeed very beautiful. In normal history, cutting off the passage of the western Liaoning Corridor, which can be said to have seized an absolute strategic advantage. , the Ming Dynasty's soldiers were unable to advance and retreat, and the plan to continue to fight against the three guards of Wurianha is likely to be miscarried.

But unfortunately, Yesen, who has been traversing the grasslands for his whole life, cannot understand the changes in the Age of Discovery. Chen Yichen, who has controlled the Daming Treasure Ship Fleet, does not need to be connected through the Liaoxi Corridor, he can be anywhere in Liaodong Bay. Land on land and concentrate superior forces to crush the Mongolian troops!

This situation is very similar to the late Qing Dynasty. Although she had millions of Eight Banners Green Camp soldiers, she was helpless against foreigners who could land everywhere on the sea borders of thousands of miles. In addition to the backwardness of institutional weapons, there was actually no force in many local wars. No matter how powerful the advantage is, there is no place to use it. The other party will not fight a war of attrition with you at all.

Since I wanted to be this first bird, Chen Yichen simply let the three guards of Wuliangha beside me and concentrate their superior forces to attack Yizhou City. Zhu Yi led 30,000 elite troops in the Jing camp, Feng Zheng's Northern Expedition Army for 40,000 elite troops, and Liaodong The military capital department is located in Guangning City, no matter how many people are transferred, it should be no problem.

In other words, when Yesen completely unexpectedly, Chen Yichen could instantly gather 100,000 troops and encircle Yizhou City from the left and right wings.

Originally cut off the nails in the western Liaoning Corridor, the offensive and defensive momentum turned into a turtle in the jar. In addition, it also occupied Yizhou City first, which was equivalent to giving up the cavalry and shooting field battles that the Mongols were best at, and fought against the Ming army in the offensive and defensive battles, even if they were disgusted with themselves. Life is too long!

After listening to Chen Yichen's strategy deployment, Bian He has been following him for a long time and has seen the use of using sea ships to dispatch troops, so he showed a look of surprise on his face.

It can only be said that Chen Yichen is worthy of being the son of Duke Cheng and inherited the bloodline of a military general. This operation is simply a masterpiece and can be called a natural commander. What is even more admirable is that the boss's understanding of the navy is far beyond that of As for all civil and military officials in the court, he turned the disadvantages into advantages.

Compared with Bian He, the Ning Yuanwei commander's face was more confused. They have been stamped with thoughts for so many years, and they have no consciousness and thoughts about various springboard landing wars.

But this cannot be blamed on them. After all, Chen Yichen's strategic thinking does not belong to this era at all. With the support of the next fleet, it is even more powerful and can be called a dimensional reduction strike.

"Will the three Guards of Urianha take the opportunity to attack Yizhou City with all their strength, causing us to be attacked from both sides?"

Liang Qiuhong is a veteran after all. He cannot digest Chen Yichen's application of large-scale shipping for the time being, but he still realizes the shortcomings of this strategy. For example, all the soldiers and horses are gathered together to encircle Yizhou City, which is equivalent to the Urianha three Wei ignored it, how could the other party be honest and obedient?

"No matter how loud a few dogs bark, they can't become a pack of wolves."

Chen Yichen continued contemptuously: "Liang Weisi, have you Ningyuanwei not fought with the three guards of Wuliangha? When did the Ming Hu Ben take them seriously? He dared to grin and some soldiers in this cabinet fight against each other. I am afraid. They won't come!"

"In addition, General Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, had already gone to Xuanda's defense line with Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, when his cabinet left Beijing. Since he had already exposed his main target of Liaodong, how could the Ming border army have not Are they a group of turtle gangsters nesting in their shells?”

"You can go, and I can go too!"

When Chen Yichen said this, he was full of passion and could not feel the elegant atmosphere of a literati, nor did he have the negative state of being captured by the Tartars and was in a strategic disadvantage.

It’s not that Chen Yichen looked down on the three guards of Urianha. He has been a fence-making man who has been good at it for a long time. He seems to have taken advantage of both sides, but in fact it is a devastating blow to the bravery and good warriors of the soldiers in the headquarters. He cannot cultivate a martial arts battle at all. The determination.

Just like Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo in the ninth year of Zhengtong, led his troops to conquer, and the three guards of Urianha were simply defeated in one blow, and they were unable to avoid various wars. Then, the Battle of Tumu Fort, the Battle of the Capital, and the Battle of Liaodong, The three guards of Urianha also played a lot of sluts and thought about following the Oirat tribe to find a bargain.

To describe it in later generations, the demeanor of the Imperial Army or the Servant Army is not worthy of the three-way division between the Oirat and the Tatars!

In addition, Shi Heng's bravery and melodiousness have witnessed with his own eyes that character and ability are two unrelated things. No matter how narrow-minded Shi Heng is, he cannot change the nature of this guy being a powerful general. .

Shi Heng had just been promoted to Duke Zhongguo, and he was eager to make contributions and wanted to prove himself in front of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. Now he found that Yesen's main attack direction was not at Xuanda at all. Without defensive pressure, Chen Yichen believed that with his personality, he would definitely Take the initiative to seek military achievements.

Since he was at the court meeting, Shi Heng took the initiative to show

I really want to share a cup of "war achievements", so Chen Yichen doesn't mind letting the other party squeeze it first, which is equivalent to helping him relieve his worries.

"What Mr. Chen taught me is that I will be ashamed!"

Liang Qiuhong's words turned red in the face of Chen Yichen's words. As a general, he was not as strong and brave as a civil servant like Chen Ge Lao. The three guards of Urianha were the target of training for many years and defeated generals. Ning Yuanwei has fought with them many times, when has he been afraid of his head and tail?

It seems that the rise of the Ola tribe and the entry of Tian Sheng Khan into the pass did indeed inadvertently develop a hint of timidity and cowardice, and did not have the confidence to regard the Mongolian Tartars as waiting to slaughter pigs and sheep in the early years.

At the same time, Liang Qiuhong realized that the rumors from the outside world were not false, and Ge Lao Chen really lived up to his reputation as "going to become generals and ministers"!
