Chapter 261 A group of harmony
Positioning is a science, especially one's positioning. Low ones mean inferiority and inferiority, while highs mean arrogant and rude.
Mao Wenlong had repeatedly thought about this visit. He had a mature ambitions when he grasped the right measure and the standard he grasped.
He knew very well that in terms of official positions, he was just a commander-in-chief. Whether it was Xiong Tingbi's governor of Liaodong or Yuan Keli's governor of Liaodong, they were definitely superior to him.
In terms of qualifications, Xiong Tingbi was at the same level as Wang Huazhen, and Mao Wenlong was just a Dusi at that time; not to mention Yuan Keli, the imperial teacher, the imperial sword, and the Shangfang sword were his immediate superiors.
Moreover, both of these two people were from Jinshi. Although the emperor has improved his status as a soldier in recent years, the accumulated habit of emphasizing culture and over military affairs cannot be reversed so easily.
Therefore, Mao Wenlong put his figure relatively low, and he was not flattered, but his etiquette of worshiping others was impeccable.
Of course, Mao Wenlong also wanted to show his efforts to mediate the two. Dongjiang Town Deputy General Gou Zhenhuai accompanied him. This is also a guy with secret reporting power. How could Mao Wenlong not know?
"I have already known all the comments and comments of Lord Xiong, and I am really ashamed." Mao Wenlong jumped off his horse from afar, came to Xiong Tingbi, and paid a visit to him, and first reviewed himself. "Although I never believed the rumors outside, I never expressed my thoughts, and it made the world misunderstand it, and it was all the mistakes of me."
Xiong Tingbi laughed and said politely: "The pure one is clear, and rumors are false after all, how can they last? The shameful mistakes that Mao Shuai said are really a mistake, a mistake!"
As he said that, Lao Xiong reached out to help Gou Zhenhuai who was paying a week and smiled and said, "General Gou doesn't have to be too polite. He fought side by side when he was in Guangning, and he is also an old acquaintance."
Gou Zhenhuai nodded with a smile, and then stepped back to Mao Wenlong's head.
Xiong Tingbi reached out and asked, "Mr. Yuan waited on the city tower, let me go up to pay my respects first."
"Please ask for it, Lord Xiong." Mao Wenlong dared to compete for the first place, so he reached out to invite him.
"Ship Mao, please." Xiong Tingbi once again gave in and refused, and the two of them climbed the city tower together.
Yuan Ke was the governor of Liaodong, holding the sword of the wise and shangfang, which was equivalent to acting on behalf of the emperor and holding the power of life and death. Although he could not kill people for no reason, dismissal was just a matter of his words.
Seeing Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong coming together, as if they had given up their past grudges, Yuan Keli was also relieved and stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"The last general (lower official) pays homage to Lord Yuan." Xiong Tingbi and others hurried forward to pay homage to him.
"No need to be polite." Yuan Keli smiled and raised his hand to help him, looked at Mao Wenlong, and said, "I haven't seen him for several years, and Mao Shuai's style has not diminished. I am very pleased."
"Old Yuan is healthy and healthy, and I am very happy." Mao Wenlong raised his head and said with a smile: "I have been paying homage to the Lord in Dengzhou for several years."
"Yes!" Yuan Keli stroked his beard and looked slightly moved, and his eyes turned to Gou Zhenhuai.
"The last general Gou Zhenhuai is the deputy general of Dongjiang Town." Gou Zhenhuai bowed and bowed.
Yuan Keli reached out to help him. Although he had never seen him, he still knew Gou Zhenhuai's qualifications and said with a smile: "General Gou doesn't have to be too polite. It has been several years since the Battle of Guangning, and General Gou is also an old army."
Gou Zhenhuai smiled and said, "I am a monk halfway through the way and go from the tutoring department to the military route. I dare not be called an old army."
"General Gou is good at governing his army, and his troops are also the top-ranking strong army in Dongjiang Town." Mao Wenlong said with a smile, raising his subordinates and raising himself.
"Okay, okay! Dongjiang Town is full of strong troops, and I am very pleased." Yuan Keli praised and reached out to signal: "Please sit down, before the formal military discussion, and cook wine and talk at the top of the city, and speak as much as possible."
After everyone thanked him, they sat down one by one. Only Liu Xingzuo, who was standing beside Yuan Keli, was still standing there, which attracted everyone's curious eyes.
Yuan Keli laughed and pointed at him, "This is Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Feiqi Shengying camp. Fuzhou is brave. Long live to praise him for his style as Li Xianzhong of the Song Dynasty."
"It turned out to be General Liu." Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai stood up.
Liu Xingzuo hurriedly visited the ceremony, "I have met Shuai Mao and Deputy Shuai Gou."
After Liu Xingzuo returned to the Ming Dynasty in history, Yuan Keli left and was not valued in western Liaodong.
In view of this, Zhu Youxiao specially explained Yuan Keli to give him the opportunity to make contributions and demonstrate the emperor's wisdom in knowing people.
Therefore, Yuan Keli transferred to the Feiqi Shengying led by Liu Xingzuo, and specially introduced it to Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong, showing his importance.
If Liu Xingzuo wants to make contributions on the battlefield, he cannot stay by his side and only serve as a guard team. Therefore, whether it is Xiong Tingbi or Mao Wenlong, he must be one of the commanders.
He brought out the emperor, the great god, and promoted Liu Xingzuo, so that Xiong and Mao would not despise him or her, and would give him a place to use his skills.
After the chirping, everyone sat down again, and the personal soldiers brought tea and started chatting casually.
This way, you can speak more casually and you can express your strategic ideas in your mind so as not to make any mistakes during formal military discussions.
Although Ping Liao's overall strategy was basically determined, the siege on all sides made Jiannu lose his mind and it was difficult for him to concentrate his efforts to deal with it.
However, in terms of specific operations, there is still no final determination. At present, should we launch from southern Liao and attack Liaoshen first; or should we concentrate on Jianzhou and destroy Jiannu's nest, the so-called place of dragon prosperity.
"Jinluo Xiong, the arrangement of Haizhou Guard has been completed. You can launch an attack at any time, right?" Yuan Keli turned to Xiong Tingbi and asked.
Xiong Tingbi nodded and said, "The Han army shrank into the city, and the two red flags of Jiannu swam outside the city, but they could no longer stop our army from siegeing the city. When I waited for the more abundant troops and supplies, I could surround them all, so that no enemy in the city could escape."
"Where is Jiannu increasing his troops again?" Yuan Keli pondered for a moment and said, "I think the Han and Mongolian coalition forces can start first, and Korqin will enter Anlezhou and Liaohaiwei, harass Kaiyuan and Tieling, and restrain Jiannu."
Seeing Lord Yuan's eyes coming, Mao Wenlong hurriedly said, "My Dongjiang Town can also take action to restrain Jiannu to help Lord Xiong break through Haizhou Wei and go straight to Liaoshen."
Lord Yuan's eyes were smiling and there was a meaning of asking for advice. Xiong Tingbi's eyes were also staring. Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, knowing that he would make additional explanations.
He bowed to the west and Mao Wenlong said, "Long Live is extremely concerned about pacifying Liao and supporting this war with the whole country's strength. Under the attention of the government and the country, he believed that it would not be enough to restore Liaoshen to the people's morale and not enough to be called a great victory."
The analysis was fine and the conclusion was correct. Although it was a little surprised, Yuan Keli still showed admiration.
The best result is of course the best result to pacify Liao and destroy slaves, but things on the battlefield are not predictable and may not be so smooth.
If Liaoyang can be restored and Shenyang can be restored, even if Ping Liao has not won the full achievement, it will be enough to explain to the emperor and give the Ming Dynasty a shot of a heart-warming agent.
In fact, Mao Wenlong’s thoughts cannot be called a change, but start from reality and consider the overall situation.
In western Liaoning and southern Liaoning were basically connected, with the strongest troops; the emperor sent out the Beijing cavalry and temporarily assigned them in western Liaoning and southern Liaoning, which was quite obvious.
If I insist on increasing troops, with the main goal of attacking Jianzhou, and then annihilated Jiannu in Liaochen, it would probably be against the will of Long Live.
Therefore, Mao Wenlong first said that he would cooperate actively, which was more beautiful than Yuan Keli's request. At the same time, this was also a sign of giving up his past grudges. Long live to know, it would be a relief.
Of course, it is wrong to say that Mao Wenlong has no selfish intentions. He considered the future and felt that if he didn't strive for success now, it would be of great benefit to the future.
Although political considerations are not so accurate, they also have some basis, not random guesses.
Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong, two imperial teachers, were most likely to enter the cabinet; no one should be more qualified than Xiong Tingbi in the position of Minister of War.
In this way, he will be the leader after Liaodong. He thought that everything would be fine if he pacified Liao and let the horse go to Nanshan? Mao Wenlong didn't think so.
Mao Wenlong had never heard of that Mekong Province, but only knew that it was overseas. The emperor sent someone to occupy land and could he forget the inherent Nuergandusi of the Ming Dynasty?
If it were not expected, the emperor would embark on Chengzu's path of expansion, which was Mao Wenlong's analysis and judgment.
From another perspective, Liaodong's army has more than 100,000, and most of them need to be resettled on the spot. This can be concluded by the promise of giving retired officers and soldiers a large amount of land.
If the Liao people who returned to their hometown were added, the required fields would be not a small amount.
Immigration to the East, to Mekong Province, and to Hainan, the emperor seemed to have found a solution to the contradiction between people and small land. Will the vast Liaodong be spared?
Yuan Keli was very pleased and satisfied with Mao Wenlong's statement, and Xiong Tingbi was also very happy.
"Jianzhou was regarded as a place of dragon prosperity by Jianlu, and I believe it would not give up easily." Xiong Tingbi kindly reminded: "Mao Shuai must restrain himself and also prevent Jianlu from increasing troops to fight back."
Mao Wenlong bowed his hand and expressed his gratitude, saying: "Our army has strict defenses. Jianlu wants to attack and will pay a heavy price. With Jianlu's current strength, I'm afraid it cannot be afforded."
Speaking of position defense, it is indeed the strength of the Ming army. The chest walls and trenches and sharp muskets have suffered several losses, but there is no way to solve them.
The most important thing is that Jiannu has too little manpower. At the current situation, he is even more afraid of the tactical tactics of the Ming army using people to replace people.
"But my Dongjiang Town lacks mobile troops." Mao Wenlong changed his tone and began to set conditions, "Especially, the flying cavalry attacked Jianzhou, which is very important."
Yuan Keli and Xiong Tingbi looked at each other, because they had such speculation before, but there was not much hesitation in their eyes.
The flying cavalry in the Beijing camp was 12,000, which were divided into two groups in southern Liaoning and western Liaoning, led by Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji.
Dongjiang Town has no assignment, which is the emperor's intention, but it is not impossible to change. Yuan Keli has full authority and can be arranged flexibly.
