Chapter 116: The bait has been placed, can the fish be hooked (2)

"Jinqing is such a bad word! At first I also had the worry of you. Although this person was called a fox wolf by the Mongols, he lacked strategic vision. The Pou Nu City he established happened to be between the Jurchens and the Mongolian Lin Danhan. Although he had defeated the Jurchens and the Mongols, he had defeated the Mongols. It was precisely because of his improper choice that I strongly supported him!" Sun Chengzong explained in a gentle tone.

"Sir! You're almost anxious to death. Just tell me quickly!" Emperor Tianqi was young after all, and protested against Sun Chengzong's slow-paced narration.

Sun Chengzong was quite moved by the emperor's title of "Mr.", and he once again gave a deep tribute to the emperor. "Last time in Guangning, the Possess Army robbed millions of gold and silver from the Guangning treasury, officials' homes and wealthy families. In addition, the gold and silver robbed from the Mongolians and Jurchens. It is estimated that he had tens of millions of taels of silver in his hands! There were countless materials! So he became a fat meat with thorns in the eyes of the Jurchens and the Mongols!"

Sun Chengzong glanced at everyone's complicated expressions and knew that Zhang Ping'an's last battle in Guangning touched the interests of many people in the palace.

"Lin Danhan originally had a rift between Lin Danhan and the Jurchens, but for the sake of Zhang Ping'an's wealth, he actually wanted to join forces with the Jurchens to deal with the Po Nu Army next year. Even if Zhang Ping'an has great skills, can he fight these two sieges? So, if Zhang Ping'an is smart enough, he will definitely deal with Lin Danhan first!" Sun Chengzong's commentary made everyone understand that the Po Nu Army will basically not be a threat from the Ming Dynasty in the short term.

"Zhisheng, what if the Po Slave Army can win!" Ye Xianggao was full of doubts.

"Jinqing's concerns are not unreasonable. But, Jinqing, think about it. How powerful is the Jurchens? According to the latest intelligence of the Jinyiwei, there are 170,000 newly formed Han military flags by the Jurchens, plus other troops. Even if Zhang Ping'an wins, he will be seriously injured. I really hope he can win, even if he is a tiger. After this battle next year, he will be a sick tiger with serious injuries!"

Sun Chengzong's subtext made everyone know his plan. It was to let the Po Nu Army and the Jurchens and the Mongols fight to the death. The Ming Dynasty sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and finally reaped profits. The Ming Dynasty only paid a decree of a local official title.

The Donglin Party, Chu Party or eunuch Party in the court, who were not in charge of the court, had a surprisingly consistent opinion after listening to Sun Chengzong's ideas. Even Emperor Tianqi felt strange. None of the ministers who had made a living or deadly struggle even if it was a big deal, did not oppose Sun Chengzong's proposal.

"Sir, if Zhang Ping'an is destroyed by Lin Danhan this time! Can you defend the attack of the Jurchens by the Jinning line of defense?" Emperor Tianqi's question made Sun Chengzong extremely happy. The emperor could actually consider the problem from a strategic perspective. He was so excited that he burst into tears, obeyed the ground, and his voice choked.

"The heaven has eyes, and it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty! What the emperor asked is really clear to see Wanli! Please rest assured that the Pou Slave Army is not so easy to be destroyed!"

Emperor Tianqi was also very happy to hear the teacher's praise. This was the first time Sun Chengzong praised him like this. Every time these old ministers were criticized or advised him, he could only use carpentry to escape reality. At this time, he used his expectant eyes to hope that Sun Chengzong would give him a further explanation.

Sun Chengzong understood the emperor's expectations: "The reason why Zhang Ping'an was called a fox wolf by the Mongols was because he was extremely cunning in fighting and had no defeat since he fought. I believe that he must have been ready to send troops to deal with Lin Danhan this time. Moreover, his troops are mainly cavalry. Even if he can't win, they will not be completely eliminated by Lin Danhan!"

Regarding Sun Chengzong's explanation, officials from all walks of life reached an unprecedented consensus on whether to let the Xuanwei envoy in the Ponu City and whether the Xuanwei envoy could be inherited. A fierce debate started in the court. Thinking of the exquisite wooden tools sent by Zhang Ping'an, Emperor Tianqi wanted to give Zhang Ping'an a favor, so this time he made arbitrary decision and recognized the fact that Xuanwei envoy could be inherited.

................

The empty white fields outside Zhangjiakou City, besides the strong wild whistling sound of the north wind, were only a few rolling weeds. Sun Chengzong's tall body stood outside the low arrow tower at the north gate of Zhangjiakou, allowing the cold wind to invade. His face, which was more powerful than the Ming military officer, was soaked in frost and snow.

The distant thunder came from the dark sky with the wind. After hearing the sound, Sun Chengzong looked north again. From a black dot to a black line, a black torrent of ten miles wide was formed. A six-meter-high black flag, and two large seal characters "Possess".

He saw that this team of pure black armored cavalry was five miles away from the Zhangjiakou city wall. He stopped and began to camp. But he didn't see Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Po Nu Army, and thought to himself: What trick does this kid want to play?

Since he knew Zhang Ping'an, the general of the Po Nu Army must do such a big military operation. Moreover, the Po Nu Army raised the flag of the commander, indicating that Zhang Ping'an followed the army, why did he not show up? Could it be?

Sun Chengzong suddenly remembered what Song Hu said when Ning Yuan saw Song Hu: If a person kneels for a long time, his heart will not be able to stand up.

He sent Wu Qitai to Po Nucheng, and the Batong Centre in Beijing specially sent people to accompany him to escort it. It seems that Batong told Zhang Ping'an the news of the imperial edict sent by the court. Judging from the news brought back by Wu Qitai, Zhang Ping'an was preparing to accept the imperial enthronement.

It can be speculated that this kid wants to accept the enthronement, but he doesn’t want to kneel down to accept the order. Sun Chengzong said in his heart: How can such a good thing be in this world? This fart kid will not let go of the benefits, and you can’t eat any loss!!

At this time, his confidant Wu Qitai whispered in his ear: "Sir! The Qu Guozheng of Batong wants to leave the city. Can he...?"

"Haha, okay! Open the city gate and let him see Zhang Ping'an! I want to see what tricks this kid wants to play!" Sun Chengzong said this very loudly. Zhang Wenyi, the general of Zhangjiakou, who was beside him, immediately ordered someone to open the city gate after hearing this.

Sun Chengzong felt Zhang Ping'an's mind very thoroughly. Zhang Ping'an really didn't want to kneel down to accept the order. At this moment, he was putting on Gu Xin in the handsome tent he had just tied.

Zhang Ping'an applied the turmeric water he wanted from Jia Youfu with the Military Medical Office to Gu Xin's young man's face. Seeing the effect was good, he was in a good mood. "Gu Xin! Now, I think it's like! Hehehe, I'm so sick, you can help me answer the order!"

Gu Xin looked into the clean water of the copper basin, looked at his yellowed face, and nodded. "Boss, you are really. Will you offend the court if you do this?"

Zhang Ping'an ignored Gu Xin's questions, but continued to apply on the back of his hand, carefully observing the effect of the waxy skin. Under the dim candlelight in the tent, the makeup was basically flawed.

Zhang Ping'an then responded to Gu Xin's question: "The bullshit court! This is the precursor to the destruction of the country in the Ming Dynasty. There are eunuchs fighting in the Donglin inside, Jurchens outside, and Mongolia invasion. Our people in Ponu City are still interested in the Ming Dynasty. With this tiger skin, Ponu Army is just right. If we don't die next year, hehehe...!"

This is the first time Gu Xin has heard Zhang Ping'an's ambition. Although he has not finished speaking, the Grand Marshal actually has such ambition. How can it not be exciting? If the Grand Marshal can succeed, then he is at least a hero from the Dragon. He dare not think further, after all, there is still a difficulty for next year.

But at this moment, Gu Xin made up his mind to overcome difficulties with the general. Zhang Ping'an knew history, but he could not grasp the course of history.

People talk about the butterfly effect, but Zhang Ping'an feels that he is not a butterfly. After all, the butterfly only causes a local storm. The situation he is facing now can be said to be a hurricane. The only person who can cause this hurricane is the only person with wings. Zhang Ping'an is very self-aware. He knows that he will never be an angel, but a birdman with wings.

"Gu Xin! Go find Lao Jia and ask for some medicine. Let's boil it in the tent so that the smell of turmeric can be covered up."

"Okay, boss. Let's look at mine this time! By the way, boss, the latest map is drawn, you can take the time to take a look!" Gu Xin said as he picked up his leather robe and put it on, he was about to walk out. As a result, he was hit by a tall personal soldier who happened to enter the door.

The personal soldiers quickly apologized for him, but when they went to Fu Gu Xin, they saw Gu Xin's sallow face, and the personal soldiers were so scared that their face turned pale. He did not expect the Little Chief of Staff to be so careless.

When Zhang Ping'an saw this scene, he immediately understood why the personal soldier was so scared. He didn't laugh at the personal soldier because the personal soldier hurriedly entered the door and there must be something important to report.

"He's fine! What's wrong with you?"
