257 Cocooning Yourself


"Your Majesty, the disaster of building captives is becoming more and more serious.

If it is delayed for a long time, it will be more difficult to deal with.

I have to think about it day and night.

I have to have a strategy.

As long as it is strictly implemented, given time, the disaster of building captives can be eradicated."

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he He took out a memorial, bowed and held it out with both hands.

When the servants on the side saw it, they quickly forwarded it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Hu Guang felt happy after hearing this, nodded in response, and was ready to see his specific strategy.

Speaking of which, he also wondered why the original Emperor Chongzhen was so naive and easily deceived.

He believed that he would believe it even after five years of Ping Liao and there was no plan or anything else.

Otherwise, he could at least see how feasible it was and see if Yuan Chonghuan would be able to take office.

It's going on as planned.

If you want to keep it secret, let me, the emperor, take a look and see if there is something wrong with it.

Hu Guang sighed in his heart as he thought about it, then stopped caring about the past and looked at the memorial in front of him.

But when he took a look, his brows immediately wrinkled.

Sun Chengzong had been observing the emperor's expression.

Seeing this, he felt a little chill in his heart.

He understood that the emperor seemed dissatisfied, and he was afraid that there was something he couldn't understand, so he quickly said: "The strength of Jianlu lies in field battles, and the strength of our army is The strength lies in defending the city.

As the art of war says, avoid the enemy's strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses.

That's why I came up with this strategy.

If you exploit your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, you will be able to defeat Jianlu and regain Liaodong."

When he finished speaking, Hu Guang had already read the contents of the memorial, casually put the memorial on the royal table, shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate."

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard that the young emperor so firmly denied the strategy he had worked out so hard.

Fortunately, he had a lot of experience and a lot of courage, so he asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what your majesty means when you say something inappropriate."

Hu Guangneng could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in Sun Chengzong's words, so he smiled slightly and said: "Sun Qing's strategy is to build the city from the direction of Jinzhou and extend it to the hinterland of Liaodong to defeat the built captives, right?"

"Of course."

Sun Chengzong nodded immediately, and then explained confidently: "In this way, our Ming Dynasty can take advantage of defending the city.

If Jianlu wants to stop this strategy, the only way to attack the city is to take human lives to break up the stronghold."

It happens to be Jianlu's weak point.

If he wants to capture the Ming Dynasty, hehe, Your Majesty, my old minister said that Jianlu will suffer heavy casualties."

After he finished speaking, he looked confidently at the young Emperor Chongzhen, hoping to see the emperor's expression of thoughtfulness or sudden enlightenment.

But he was disappointed.

The emperor's expression did not change at all.

He still smiled, or it could be said that he asked confidently: "Does Sun Qing know how much food it costs the court to build a city and equip it with troops?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong smiled slightly in his heart, and it was his turn to show the look of someone who knew you would say this before, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court's seizure of the income from the merchants of Shanxi Province was not just used to deal with the war ministers.

It has been estimated that it should be able to support the old minister in building the city to Shenyang."

Haha, when Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, the kind of speechless smile.

This old man Sun actually cares about his unobtained start-up capital.

He is really caring.

Although he thought so, he was not angry.

He just shook his head and said, "Sun Qing, no, I have great use for that money."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong suddenly became a little anxious, and he quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the establishment of captives is a serious problem for our Ming Dynasty.

What else could be more important than this?

I sincerely ask your Majesty to put national affairs first and distinguish priorities."

"Sun Qing doesn't need to say more.

I know the priority of the matter.

Your strategy, even if I allocate money and food to you, is useless."

Hu Guang shook his head and objected again without hesitation.

Sun Chengzong's face turned a little dark.

He felt that the emperor's words were a bit arbitrary.

After all, he has been leading troops for many years.

He is already very old and has eaten more salt than you have eaten.

Yet he still vetoes his own strategy.

He said a little unconvinced: "Your Majesty, I dare not say this."

I agree.

The most important thing in my policy is money and food.

If your Majesty can solve this problem, I believe that building captives will not be a problem."

"Haha" Hu Guang shook his head and said with a smile, "Then I ask you, Jianlu will watch you build the city and then attack."

After asking this question, he immediately emphasized in a decisive tone: "If I were the slave chief Huang Taiji, I would let you build the city first and then lead the army to attack it in the middle.

This would not only allow you to achieve your goal, but also waste your time."

Money and food” Unexpectedly, when Sun Chengzong heard this, he immediately cheered up and said: "Given my understanding of the slave chief, he will definitely do this.

Therefore, I slowly repaired it in the first half of the process, and suddenly accelerated the construction speed when it was about to reach the halfway point, allowing the slave chief to We are caught off guard and cannot gather the troops to come.

In this way, the city is completed."

Having said this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a little proud.

After all, the emperor was still young and wanted to find flaws in his own strategy.

Haha, how could he not have considered it?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen still shook his head, looked into Sun Chengzong's eyes and asked: "In this case, will Jianlu definitely attack the city?

If I were the slave chief Taiji, I would lead the army and dig deep trenches to besiege the city.

Army, what can we do?”

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong replied without hesitation: "I will send reinforcements immediately to relieve the siege."

"I dare to ask Sun Qing, which army in Ming Dynasty can defeat the main force of Jianlu in a field battle?"

Emperor Chongzhen asked, leaning his upper body forward slightly and staring into Sun Chengzong's eyes.

When Sun Chengzong asked, he replied without hesitation: "I should choose Guan Ning to be an elite one."

At this point, he suddenly stopped, feeling a little stupid.

He had previously considered building captives to cause trouble.

When the time came, he would send reinforcements and attack from front to back with the defenders in the city, hoping to win.

But now the emperor's assumption is to build captives to trap the city, besiege it but not attack it, and use its main force to block reinforcements.

In this way, as long as Sun Chengzong did not open his eyes and tell lies, he would not be able to say that the army could defeat the main force of the Jianlu.

If this was really the case, how could the Ming Dynasty allow the Jianlu to ravage the capital, and how could the Ming Dynasty allow the emperor to send away King Qin's army and risk his own life to attract the Jianlu to attack the city and consume its troops.

Seeing Sun Chengzong staying there, Emperor Chongzhen added another blow and said: "The method of slow front and fast back may succeed the first time, but what about the second time and the third time?

If there is no field battle, we can resist Jianlu's attack."

To strengthen the army, Sun Qing’s strategy, I can conclude, is self-defeating and only a waste of the Ming Dynasty’s national power.”

Sun Chengzong remained silent and silent, his ears filled with Emperor Chongzhen's words, which seemed to be as loud as thunder, and finally condensed into one sentence that echoed in his ears.

"We are trapped in a cocoon, we are trapped in a cocoon" Emperor Chongzhen saw that Sun Chengzong had been in a daze, and a dignified old minister was rude in front of the emperor.

It seemed that the blow was a bit big, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly
