Chapter 697 Sincerely Huang Taiji
The news of Donglu's peace on the battlefield reached Sun Chengzong in Sanchahe overnight.

Sun Chengzong has been waiting for news from the front, and has never been out of the war room.

"Mr. Ge, there are people coming ahead..." A staff officer was also quite vigilant.I know that according to the arrangement, today is the day when the army will attack Liaoyang. Whether it is a success or a failure, there will always be news today. I know that Mr. Sun Ge has been staying in the war room to wait for the news. Therefore, whenever there is any movement, he will immediately remind Sun Ge old.

Sun Chengzong was staring intently at the sand table, fixed his eyes on the place of Liaoyang, seemed to be thinking about the problem, when he heard that there was news, he immediately lifted up and asked, "Where is the person, where is it?"

As soon as the words fell, a school lieutenant who delivered the news came in panting.

"See Mr. Ge..." The scout tried hard to control his voice, trying not to let his heavy breathing make a sound.

"What's going on ahead? Success or failure?" Sun Chengzong asked nervously. He knew this scout very well.

"Reporting to Elder Ge, this... I guess it was done, but there was no war. This... Elder Ge, the Tartars begged for peace and offered to give up Liaoyang City. This is a letter from Commander Qin to Elder Ge. There is also the letter of credence sent by the Tartars. When the younger one came back, Commander Qin was still heading towards Liaoyang. If there were no accidents, he would probably be able to arrive at Liaoyang City in the evening. If all went well, he would be able to enter Liaoyang City today. Chi Ye tomorrow, if the Tartars are playing tricks, it's hard to say..." When the scout spoke, he stuttered, the news he wanted to send back was really too messy, the information in it was too complicated, the scout I don't know how to specifically describe the pros and cons, so I can only briefly describe the facts.

Sun Chengzong quickly took the letter handed over by the scouts, and what credentials are there.

People in the staff department were a little surprised by the news. They thought there would be a big battle, but they didn't know that the Tartars actually backed down and presented their credentials. They really don't know what happened at that time.The staff members all put down what they were doing, and couldn't help but see that Sun Ge was getting old.

When Sun Chengzong heard the news, he immediately frowned. From the information he got from the scout's words, Sun Chengzong knew that something was wrong, and it was very different from what he expected.

Opening Qin Liangyu's letter to himself, he frowned even more.Opening the so-called national book again, Sun Chengzong frowned even more.

The scout didn't leave immediately, and he probably knew that this matter was rather bizarre, and Ge Lao might want to ask him what happened at that time, so he stood there and waited.

Sun Chengzong looked at it for a while, and finally let go of his gaze.

The staff members all looked at Sun Chengzong eagerly.

"Alas... Huang Taiji is indeed difficult to deal with. This time there is trouble..." Sun Chengzong started with this sentence. From Qin Liangyu's letter to him, Sun Chengzong already knew the whole story.

"Elder Ge, what's going on?" the anxious staff officers asked quickly.

"Before the battle, the captive chieftain Huangtai Ji asked for peace, said he was willing to join our court, sent a letter of credence, and asked for a truce..." Sun Chengzong sighed and explained.

"Ge Lao, how could such a good thing happen? When you think about it, you start fighting, and if you can't fight, you ask for peace. Where else in the world can you find such a good thing..."

"...Yes! Elder Ge, where is there such a good thing in the world? My army doesn't care about it at all, just go to war directly..."

The staff officers immediately spoke up.

Sun Chengzong was also very helpless in his heart, and looked at this group of young staff officers with a wry smile. This group of people still needs more training to become the backbone of Ming Dynasty in the future. Now, they are still very young.

"The chieftain is willing to plead guilty, and he is willing to go to Beijing to plead guilty..." Sun Chengzong said again, feeling very helpless.

"Ah!..." The staff officers were very surprised.

"The chieftain is also willing to give up Liaoyang City to show his sincerity in seeking peace..." Sun Chengzong said again.

"Ah!..." The staff officers were collectively stunned.This news was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Sun Chengzong was also quite helpless in his heart, and even a little anxious.It's not that Sun Chengzong didn't understand Huang Taiji's intention to do this, but he knew it, but he couldn't stop it, and he could only watch Huang Taiji achieve the result he wanted.
Huang Taiji showed such "sincere" sincerity, which indeed has great lethality. Sun Chengzong knew that some people in the court would think that Huang Taiji did have enough sincerity to consider the matter of letting Donglu join him.Once this kind of voice appeared in the hall, Huang Taiji's goal would be achieved.

In the matter of dealing with the Liaodong captives in the Ming Dynasty, there has always been a huge disagreement within the Ming Dynasty.As far as the defeat of Saerhu, to Xiong Tingbi's biography of the first nine sides, to Gaodi, the king's ministers supervised the frontiers, to Yuan Chonghuan's defense of Ningyuan, in fact, there has always been a lot of disputes in the court. A "weapon" in the struggle above the court, many people care about the victory or defeat of the attack above the court more than the victory or defeat of the affairs of Liaodong.

The changes in the Ming Dynasty's war in Liaodong actually reflected the battles in the court, and the battles in the court intensified and catalyzed the occurrence of these things.

Sun Chengzong knew that Huang Taiji's purpose was also very simple, to re-stimulate the courtiers' disputes about Liaodong affairs, it would be best to cause fights in the Ming court, re-disturb the disputes among the high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty, let them have civil strife, and fish in troubled waters.

Sun Chengzong knew that the matter of Liaodong, in fact, only in the past two years, His Majesty suppressed the matter with great prestige, and the debate on Liaodong in the court gradually subsided, and the "weapon" Liaodong gradually faded out of the courtiers' sight In the future, everything will be done according to the emperor's will. Without the struggle and constraints in the court, the affairs of Liaodong will become a simple and pure matter, and the affairs of Liaodong will gradually improve.But now..., with great courage and determination, Huang Taiji was ready to use himself as a bait to provoke the internal struggle of Ming Dynasty again. Sun Chengzong also had to sigh secretly for Huang Taiji's courage and courage.

Sun Chengzong also knew that although the matter of Liaodong was suppressed by His Majesty's prestige, the courtiers did not dare to point fingers at Liaodong's affairs, but they might not want to, but there was no good entry point. Now Huang Taiji used his body as bait to give Those people are a good entry point, and Sun Chengzong has to admit that this move is indeed vicious.

Some people may not really understand the pros and cons of this, and they may not really be unable to see through Huang Taiji's strategy, but they know that some people just want to use this opportunity to achieve their goal of fighting in the court. Taking advantage of Huang Taiji's incident may not be really stupid, or it may not be really incomprehensible.

In many cases, the defeat of the Ming Dynasty was actually defeated by oneself.

"What do you all think?" Sun Chengzong asked when he saw that the staff were surprised for a while.Given such a long time, it is estimated that the staff members have also made some psychological preparations.

Sun Chengzong knew that these staff officers were still very immature, and they were not enough to compare with the old and spicy Huang Taiji, but they were still worth cultivating, and Sun Chengzong intended to train these people.

The staff have not recovered from the complexity of this matter. This matter is indeed unexpected. They, the staff, formulate various plans and formulate various strategies, all focusing on fighting. This kind of situation is rarely considered, and even if it can be considered, it is not to the point of assuming that Huang Taiji will plead guilty and give up the city.

"Mr. Huige, the students only think that this matter is confusing, true and false, and elusive. Besides, this matter seems to involve a lot, and it seems that it is difficult to draw conclusions easily..." A consultant who usually behaves well said seriously a lot.

Sun Chengzong nodded.Eyebrow stretched a lot.

Encouraged by Sun Chengzong, the staff became more courageous.

"Old Huige, the students think that this matter should be Huang Taiji's trick. Huang Taiji is full of tricks, so don't trust him..." Another staff officer also said.

Sun Chengzong nodded again.

The staff members began to talk one after another.Although there may not be much discussion, but some problems can also be mentioned.

Listening to the discussions of the staff officers, Sun Chengzong kept nodding his head. It is not easy to train a staff officer, especially a qualified staff officer, especially a senior staff officer.

Ordinary staff officers don't need to face too many disputes in the court, but they don't need to know too much about the past in the court, they only need to focus on the war.But if you want to be a high-level staff officer, if you want to be a staff member and guide a war, you must be familiar with and understand the court, and you must connect the disputes, fights and wars in the court. For a simple battle, especially a war that is linked to court disputes, it is necessary to analyze and clarify the relationship between the war and court disputes. side battle.These staff officers are still very young and still have a long way to go.

Fighting a war has never been a simple war, and a staff officer has never been a simple staff officer.

"It's all right! ... However, this matter has gone beyond the battle itself. It is no longer something that your staff or the staff can simply draw a conclusion. This matter has to be submitted to His Majesty..." Sun Chengzong concluded.

The staff officers really wanted to say something, but seeing Sun Chengzong's serious face, they didn't dare to speak rashly.

"...That's the end of this matter. You are still in your positions and always pay attention to the dynamics of all parties. This matter will be handled by this cabinet." Sun Chengzong educated the staff and was ready to deal with this matter. He had to handle this matter by himself, and the staff officers could not give any advice, let alone help.

Sun Chengzong explained to the staff, and locked himself in the study.

Sun Chengzong knew that Huang Taiji used himself as a bait to stir up civil strife in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the outcome of this matter mainly depends on whether the emperor's prestige can suppress the restlessness of the officials. If the emperor's prestige is high enough, then The matter is easier to solve. If the emperor's prestige cannot suppress other voices in the court, then this matter may be troublesome.

Sun Chengzong thought carefully about whether the emperor's prestige could suppress this matter. Sun Chengzong felt that, in simple terms, it could be suppressed. His Majesty has never made any major mistakes in dealing with matters outside the Liaodong Pass. Its prestige is already high enough. Not long ago, it completely disintegrated the Mongolian right wing and brought Woerdusi into its pocket. The prestige is even higher to a certain level. Too much.If the court wants to argue with the emperor on the battle outside the pass, I am afraid that no one has such high energy.But Sun Chengzong was also afraid. It is precisely because His Majesty's military honors are too prosperous now, and the status of warriors is now rising. It’s nothing more than expressing something. Apart from the war, what His Majesty has done in other areas, although it has also established a high reputation for His Majesty, but secretly, it has made many ministers feel dissatisfied, and there may not be no complaints. Although it may not cause any serious trouble to His Majesty, it is still troublesome. Now that they encounter Huang Taiji's vicious trick again, many people may not be able to resist and will jump out.

Sun Chengzong knew that relying on the emperor's prestige alone was not enough, he had to take some precautionary measures, and he had to give the emperor some suggestions.

After thinking carefully for a while, Sun Chengzong carefully compared the previous strategies. In fact, generally speaking, the advancement of things is still in line with the overall strategy, and Liaoyang City was also won.As for Huang Taiji's poisonous trick, Sun Chengzong felt that at present, he could only remind the emperor and give him some advice. He was also far away from the capital now, beyond his reach, and had to rely on the emperor himself to respond.What he can do is to stabilize the battle line as much as possible, push the front of the soldiers to Donglu's lair as much as possible, and wear down Donglu's strength as much as possible before the court argues about this matter. Wait for the news.

Sun Chengzong thought about it, and began to write a report to the emperor in detail, writing the situation as clearly as possible, writing his speculations as much as possible, and writing Huang Taiji's intentions as clearly as possible.I hope these can be of some help to Your Majesty.

After writing the letter to the emperor, Sun Chengzong carefully replied to Qin Liangyu, telling Qin Liangyu not to be disturbed by this matter, and to continue doing what he should do, and ignore Donglu.No matter how hard Huang Taiji played tricks, before he received new instructions from His Majesty, he still continued and unswervingly implemented the previous strategy, asking Qin Liangyu to trust His Majesty.

……

Outside Liaoyang City.

The camp where the Ming army was stationed.

Although the army of the Ming Dynasty reached the city of Liaoyang, they did not enter the city in a hurry, but camped in the wild.

Qin Liangyu arranged all kinds of things, and then he had a moment of free time, and then he calmed down and thought about today's things.

Since His Majesty came to the throne, she has fought against the Eastern Lulu Chieftain twice. The first time may have been due to Huang Taiji's carelessness. She won it more easily. Winning or losing a war is simple and clear.This time, it's different, true and false, false and true, all kinds of overt and secret means, just thinking about it is very laborious, and you have to sort out the ins and outs of it, prevent, see through, and deal with the conspiracy inside Tricks are really enough to cause headaches.

Qin Liangyu secretly sighed, this matter is beyond her ability, all she can do is wait and do what she should do.For the rest, she can't control so much.

……

Also outside Liaoyang City, there is another big camp stationed.

This is the camp of Hou Jin.Huangtai Jili resisted all opinions, gave up Liaoyang City, and set up camp at a place more than ten miles away from Liaoyang City.

The night covered everything, only the campfire lit up the grassland with a faint light.

Huangtai Jihan Tent.

Fan Wencheng already knew the ins and outs of the day's events, and was looking at Huang Taiji with admiration, surprise and surprise.

Fan Wencheng did mention to Huang Taiji the matter of Xijin Grassland and Ranch recovering its strength, and mentioned that the loss of Liaoyang was actually helpful to the war. I feel admiration for his boldness, not everyone has this kind of boldness.

"The Great Khan is really smart. This way, it really played a role in disrupting the Ming court. Once there is civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a dispute in the court, it is an opportunity for the Khan. As long as the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, this Tens of thousands of troops, I am afraid that they will be wiped out overnight, Emperor Ming's reputation will take a turn for the worse, and he will lose face. Jin's morale must be like a rainbow, and it is easy to deal with the low morale of the Ming army, sweating profusely, this move is really good, it is really high..." Fan Wencheng is indeed full of admiration for Huang Taiji, and flattery is constantly being offered.

Huang Taiji kept silent, and Ren Fan Wencheng flattered him.

"Great Khan! I still say the same thing, give up the city, and I agree with it, but if the Khan goes to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty, the younger brother will absolutely disagree. If the Dajin is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to go far." Far away, Dajin must not lose the Great Khan, the Great Khan, and my ministers are willing to go to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty on behalf of the Great Khan..." Dorgon was also in Huang Taiji's Khan's tent.What he still mentioned was this matter, and he still opposed Huang Taiji's going to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty. Whether it was public or private, Dorgon didn't want Huang Taiji to go to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty.

Huang Taiji was also a little moved, broke the silence, and said: "Ben Khan knows the heart of the fourteenth brother, didn't Ben Khan say it? This is just a rhetoric, whether to go or not is another matter, if you really want to go, If Emperor Ming didn't give me Da Jin a good treatment, how could Ben Khan go? If he didn't give Ben Khan a satisfactory answer, would Ben Khan go? Give Ben Khan a satisfactory answer, and I don't know how to get involved What are you going to do..." Huang Taiji said with a smile.In fact, Huang Taiji didn't think about the day when he really went to the Ming Dynasty.He was also thinking, if he really went to the Ming Dynasty, the big gold, who will be the sweater, who will be at the helm, Huang Taiji looked around the big gold, all of them are reckless, and the smarter ones are Han people, The one who really caught his eye, was strategic, and capable of fighting belonged to the fourteenth brother Dorgon.Although Huang Taiji didn't want to really go to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty, he also thought that maybe one day, Duo Ergun might be his successor. A smart person takes the lead, Da Jin may not even be able to deal with Lin Danhan, let alone fight against the Ming Dynasty. In order to survive, Huang Taiji is not without this kind of thinking, so Huang Taiji treats this fourteenth brother, in his heart, is extraordinarily weird .
