Chapter 83
"I think the person recommended by Yang Hong is inappropriate, and I think the time when Yang Hong retires."
Su Cheng directly began to criticize Yang Hong to avenge Yang Hong's revenge that he was beaten to death by the Al-Jail Court.
"Tao Jin once fought side by side with me, and there was no problem as a city lord. However, Xuanfu is located on the front line of Yanghe, and Tao Jin has no experience in dealing with such wars. If Xuanfu is a mistake, is it Yang Hong's fault, Tao Jin's fault, or the court's fault?"
Zhu Qiyu seemed to be thinking.
Yu Qian wanted to speak but stopped, but seeing that Su Cheng had not finished speaking, he endured the following words again.
Su Cheng continued:
"At this time, the Wala stationed troops in Yongguan and recruited the passes along the line. There were many surrenders. Yang Hong suppressed the Xuanfu to ensure that they were not lost. If the generals were replaced in the battle, he would attack Xuanfu first. If the Xuanfu lost the Xuanfu, he would all fall into Yesen's hands along the northern part of the court."
Zhu Qiyu's expression suddenly changed. This resignation is really not the time.
Yu Qian immediately argued for Yang Hong:
"Your Majesty clearly understands that although what Mr. Su said makes sense, Yang Hong's request for retirement is not necessarily necessary at this time. It is not impossible to retreat after repelling the Ola."
Zhu Qiyu stopped Yu Qian and continued to speak, and instead said to Su Cheng:
"Yang Hong has been in charge of Xuanfu for more than 20 years, and has worked hard and made great contributions. It is reasonable to ask for retirement, but the timing is wrong and the candidates are not suitable. Su Cheng, who do you think can replace Yang Hong?"
Su Cheng immediately spoke:
"After Juyong repels the Ola army, I can take over the position of Yang Hong's general."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Su Cheng strangely, especially the cabinet minister Chen Xungaogu. The eyes of Su Cheng were full of surprise. This nobleman who was trustworthy in His Majesty would win again in this battle, then he would go straight to the center, why would he have to guard Xuanfu?
Yu Qian waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, if Mr. Su can defeat Yesen in Juyong, he should be the Dinghai Shenjian of the court and guard Xuanfu, and use his talents to be useless."
Zhu Qiyu's face was slightly dark, and he was obviously unwilling to agree.
Zhu Qiyu disagreed with the guards of Xuanfu, stay away from the capital, and rely on Sucheng for military preparations.
Su Cheng had no choice but to speak:
"The emperor is hunting north and I am guarding Xuanfu. Only then can I let him throw a rat and be afraid of weapons and dare not hurt the emperor easily."
Zhu Qiyu immediately understood that Su Cheng's target was the Supreme Emperor. Thinking of what Shu Liang brought back to him, Zhu Qiyu was very happy, and Su Cheng could win my heart, so he immediately made a decision.
"Then do it like that."
"Chen Xungaogu, you two will draft an order to praise Yang Hong's meritorious service and order him to lead the general of the garrison for a period of time. Once Wuqing Hou defeated Yesen's army, he will guard Xuanfu on his behalf."
"Tell Yang Hong that if I can guard Xuanfu without losing it, I will make great contributions."
...
After everyone dispersed, Su Cheng and Yu Qian left the imperial city together.
Because the Fourth Martial Camp will head north soon, the food, horses, firearms and armor will be assisted in the Ministry of War. Moreover, after Sucheng left, the two of them will discuss back and forth how to arrange the defense of the capital.
The four martial camps now have more than 80,000 troops, including auxiliary soldiers and civilians, and even more than 100,000. Sucheng suggested that one camp be left to defend the city, and the other three camps go north to Juyong.
Yu Qian thought it was not possible. Although Juyongguan only had 70,000 Oirat troops, as the Ming army at the passes along the border surrendered one after another, more and more Ming troops led by Wei Ying and Sun Tong were led by Wei.
"Take all four martial camps away. The recruits from Henan and Shandong will continue to arrive. The commanders from Guizhou and Sichuan are also sending troops northwards in succession. If you can stop Yexian, there will be no problem in defending the capital."
Yu Qian talked about the planning of the Ministry of War.
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng rejected Yu Qian's proposal:
"If I go north for less than a month, I will break through Juyong Pass and defeat the Yesian army. There is no need to recruit the royal army in various places, which will waste the people and cause money."
"Henan and Shandong are already poor, and they have been continuously dispatched to war, and the people are unable to bear the burden. If the civil unrest arouses civil unrest, it will be too late to regret it. The Secretary of State should be cautious."
Yu Qian was speechless when he heard this. He looked at Su Cheng and didn't say anything for a long time:
"Mr. Su, the army has no constant power, the water has no constant shape, and the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Who can say that you will win every battle? Be sure to lose before the battle, so that you can be undefeated."
Su Cheng simply rejected Yu Qian:
"This marquis will not be defeated. Yu Shangshu, you don't need to consider the situation where this marquis will be defeated in the battle."
Yu Qian smiled angry:
"Mr. Su, there is no joke in front of the army. No matter how you plan to cut off the three armies, you will inevitably be defeated on the battlefield. Once you are defeated, if the capital is incomplete, it will be a country that will be in danger. You and I are both criminals of the court."
"Mr. Su is so arrogant and domineering as Shi Heng, and Yang Hong dare not say that he will win every battle. Emperor Taizong was also defeated in the Northern Expedition. I cannot listen to you. I must summon the king's troops to the capital."
Su Cheng turned over the war horse that Zhang Yong was holding, and bowed to Yu Qian with his fists:
"Yu Shangshu, Benhou will not be defeated."
...
Imperial City, in Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Qiyu listened to the eunuch's report, and Junyi's face was full of smiles:
"Su Qing has this conceited capital. Since the Battle of Tumu, all the wars under Su Qing have never been defeated. Even if he was defending 4,000 people on that day, he would not let Yesen take advantage of the 20,000 army."
"Su Qing will win if he speaks, then he will definitely win. Mr. Yu is too old-fashioned."
Cheng Jing said steadily next to him:
"The Emperor, Yu Shangshu, is a perfect statement."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Cheng Jing, feeling a little dissatisfied, but because he was a little respectful to Cheng Jing, he didn't say anything.
Shu Liang next to him saw Zhu Qiyu's surprise and said with a smile:
"I understand Su Hou's idea. I am still good at martial arts now and have beaten many experts in the martial arts world. Now facing the defeated generals of the past, their flaws and shortcomings, and their flaws and feet are flawed. I am clear about my heart, so I will naturally have the confidence to win."
Zhu Qiyu laughed at him and pointed at Shu Liang and said to Cheng Jing:
"Shu Liang's example is appropriate and appropriate. Yeshen is Su Qing's defeated general. Facing Yeshen, Su Qing's idea is no different from Cheng Jing's idea."
"Sucheng will definitely win in this battle, and I will definitely win."
Cheng Jing and Shu Liang looked at each other and thoughts came to his heart. His Majesty's trust in Su Cheng seemed to be a little blind.
...
When Su Cheng returned to the Hou Mansion, he saw Ren Yao squatting at the door and frowning. Old Wang watched the fun with a smile on his face.
Seeing Su Cheng, the two hurriedly stood up to salute.
Su Cheng asked Ren Yao while walking:
"But something went wrong at home? If you have anything to help, just tell me directly. You will have to go to the battlefield with me in a few days. You can't have any worries at home."
Ren Yao looked embarrassed:
"Mr. Marquis, can I not go to the battlefield with you?"
Su Cheng stopped, frowned slightly, and looked at Ren Yao.
Ren Yao looked embarrassed and blushed.
Lao Wang explained next to him:
"It's hard to be loyal to one's own wife at home."
Ren Yao's face turned redder.
Su Cheng clicked and said without caring:
"Then don't go, just help me watch the Marquis' Mansion. When my brother and sister come to Beijing, you can take them to get to know the capital."
Su Cheng changed his clothes, left the mansion, got on his horse, and rushed to the Beijing camp again.
I am afraid I will live in the Beijing camp these days. I must prepare for the army, prepare for war, and prepare for food. The key is to pay. Shi Heng and the nobles embezzled a batch, and this batch must be found to be drawn from the Ministry of War.
Zhang Yong followed Su Cheng on a horse and frowned with Yang Er on the back of the horse:
"As the Marquis's guard Baihu, he doesn't want to go to the battlefield."
"Aren't women all gentle and lovely. How strong can they be? This guy is just greedy for life and fear of death."
Ren Yao, who was following behind, looked red, lowered his head and said nothing.
When they arrived at the camp, Sucheng entered the camp to deal with military affairs. Ren Yao followed him into the central army tent and watched Sucheng deal with military affairs.
Watching Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Longping, was forked out by the scrubbers, watching Shi Tou, the general of Yaowu Camp, angered the Marquis, and was pressed over by the scrubbers, and watching Commander Xie, who was not in charge at night, was scolded by the Marquis of Ye, and being pointed at the Marquis of Ye, scolded him.
A group of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals were scolded by the Marquis like their third grandson, but they were only kind to themselves.
