Chapter 692 Congratulations, Marshal! Congratulations to Marshal!
Both Zhang Ruoqi and Ma Shaoyu lived in Governor Xingyuan, and they took their servants with them when they left Wu's residence.

Although Ma Shaoyu was sent to the Liaodong Army to praise the military affairs, he was afraid of the Donglu, and he still did not believe in the combat power of the Ming army, nor did he believe that the crisis in Liaodong could be reversed.

At this time, he saw that there were no outsiders on the left and right, only Zhang Ruoqi and his confidants, so he leaned beside Zhang Ruoqi, and muttered in a low voice: "Please take care, sir, just in case."

Zhang Ruoqi nodded and didn't say much.

It turned out that after Ma Shaoyu arrived in Ningyuan City, the two of them had a deep talk.

Zhang Ruoqi was in a very relaxed mood at the time, chatting and laughing happily, thinking that Ma Shaoyu brought the book of his soldier Chen Xinjia, which would definitely prompt Hong Chengchou to immediately enter the Songjin army, and as long as Wang Shi marched forward bravely, he would definitely be able to defeat the Donglu in one battle.

He seemed to have completely replaced the emperor and his own soldier, Chen Xinjia, and told Ma Shaoyu that he must win a big victory against the "Eastern captives" and stop them, so that the imperial court can concentrate on eradicating the "rogues" in the interior.

However, Ma Shaoyu insisted that sooner or later the word "harmony" should be said for the "Eastern captives".

At present, although the emperor and the soldiers are strongly advocating to advance, their purpose is still to hope to make a "peace" so that they can seek peace in victory.

Zhang Ruoqi finally agreed with him, after all, this is what my soldier Chen Xinjia meant, but he still has a lot of luck for victory.

…………

There are only two days left before the army enters Songjin. Although it is only 120 miles away, it will take three or four days for the army to march, let alone an army of 10,000+, and a distance must be reserved between each other to deal with sudden changes. .

After Zhang Cheng came out from Wu Sangui's residence, he left Ningyuan City with Zhang Chengfang and a group of personal soldiers, and went straight to his camp.

Along the way, he was thinking of the three words "Chen Yuanyuan". He really couldn't think of what kind of beautiful woman could make a person like Wu Sangui "become a beauty in anger"?

Zhang Cheng naturally knew that it was just an excuse of Wu Sangui, or a misrepresentation imposed on Wu Sangui by people of later generations.

But no matter what, Chen Yuanyuan's face must be extremely beautiful, otherwise, how could he overwhelm Wu Sangui, a famous general in Liaodong, and attract the robber Liu Zongmin to take him away, which aroused Wu Sangui's anger, so he surrendered to Dorgon.

However, now Zhang Cheng has secretly made up his mind, he is going to replace Wu Sangui to take over and take care of this confidante "Chen Yuanyuan", lest Wu Sangui do other stupid things for a woman!
When the sky was dark, they rode their horses back to the outside of the camp. Like a small fire dragon, the cavalry, holding their torches high, reported the password outside the gate, flashed their waist cards and command arrows, and then galloped into the camp. , Go straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.

All the generals had finished their dinner, except for He Biao who was patrolling the camp with the governors of each battalion, the rest of the battalion officers had already gathered in the big tent.

Chen Zheng heard that Zhang Cheng had decided to send him to stay at Changling Mountain in order to prevent the slaves from attacking the back of Xingshan while the army was leaving Songshan Mountain, endangering the safety of the army's food roads.

He just had a burst of fierce opposition and yelled: "Master, we missed the notch when we beat the intruders. Now that we have arrived in Liaodong, the Tartars are right in front of us. They told us to guard the back road again. I won't do it, sir. Handsome, just kill me!"

Zhang Guangda, Zhang Guodong and others expressed deep sympathy for this, but there was nothing they could do. They all turned their heads to look at Zhang Cheng, thinking to themselves: "Fortunately, I was not left to guard Changling Mountain."

Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Zheng, who had a look of resentment on his face, and his heart was full of anger. He said angrily and loudly: "You think that the commander left six thousand troops, just for show, to our father. A pretense?"

Seeing that Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, he continued: "Don't even think about it, my army of [-] to [-] marched into the front line of Songjin, but if I didn't fight the slaves, I just lined up, how far would I have to go?
As you know from the outposts, there are quite a lot of mountain passes in the Songjin area, and the two armies combined have more than 20 horses. Since the two armies are fighting, will it be your turn? "

At this time, seeing that Chen Zheng also lowered his head as if thinking about something, he continued with a slightly relaxed tone: "You are an old man who participated in the battle of King Qin with me. You also fought bloody battles with the Tartars when you were a giant deer. You should know the Tartars." Not that easy to deal with.

Not only is he brave and brave, but he is also good at using treachery and deceit. If he confronts our army in Songjin, and the Tartars have few soldiers, they will definitely ask for help from the slave chief Huang Taiji, and at the same time, they will seek breakthroughs elsewhere.

And the strategy of "cutting the enemy's food road" has always been the first choice of military strategists. If the Tartars come, they must come from the direction of Nuvhe, and the first to bear the brunt are Changling Mountain and Wudaoling.

Are you still afraid that there will be no battle? "

At this moment, Chen Zheng also understood what he heard, and he also wanted to understand in his heart, only to see that he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Hehe...that's my fault for the general..."

"Hahaha……"

His words caused everyone in the account to burst into laughter.

Zhang Cheng patiently explained to him: "Jiannu has been running Yizhou for more than a year, not only farming here, but also transporting a large amount of grain from North Korea. Yizhou has become a logistics base for slaves.

In addition to the more than [-] slaves, more than [-] people from Mongolia who have been turned out of Mongolia have also been stationed here for many years. They even recruited nearly [-] Korean gunfire soldiers, and the rebel Kong Youde and other artillery teams with nearly [-] horses. There are dozens of newly cast red cannons.

Such deliberate deliberation here shows that the slave thief has a great plan, not only Jinzhou is determined to win in the eyes of the slave thief, even if I have tens of thousands of reinforcements, he wants to eat it all at once. "

When he said this, he glanced at the generals in the tent firmly, and said: "Everyone, remember that the battle of Jinzhou is not settled overnight. You should be mentally prepared for a long-term confrontation with slaves. Don't be impatient, so as not to fluctuate the morale of the army and turn into slaves." Taken by thieves!"

After all the generals agreed in unison, Wei Zhice asked, "Commander, since the food supply is important, why don't you leave a part of the chariot with General Chen at Changling Mountain?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said: "The supply of food is of course very important, but the frontal battlefield of Songjin is where the two armies will confront each other. As long as our division defeats its troops a little, the slave chieftains will recruit the young and strong of the whole country to fight with me.

Therefore, the pressure on the front line is huge. Although hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are fighting, the victory or defeat is often only a matter of thought.

However, Changling Mountain is still taking precautions. Since the slaves are coming to attack, they must be dominated by cavalry, and they will not exceed [-], and they will not carry artillery with the army. A cart is enough. The car city can block the enemy head-on, and the military rations and military resources it carries can also be the foundation of a long-lasting defense. "

All the generals nodded their heads endlessly, and they all believed that what Zhang Cheng said was true.

At this time, the felt curtain of the big tent was lifted, and He Biao, the governor of the town, stepped into the military tent.

As soon as he entered the door, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief, congratulations to the commander-in-chief!"
