    In the first year of the Apocalypse, on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, it is a good time to get married and move, and avoid opening the market for cooking.  Gently placing the letter in his hand on the table, Xiong Tingbi glanced around the room before slowly speaking: "This is a letter from Youtun. Guangning was attacked by a Jiannu slave."  After hearing what Xiong Tingbi said, everyone in the room was slightly startled. What was Jiannu doing?  People in the room couldn't help but look at each other, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Xiong Tingbi.  You Shigong, who was sitting on the side, pondered for a moment before saying: "Commander, no matter what the slaves want to do, we can't let them succeed. I am willing to take people to Guangning and bring Guangning back."  With You Shigong looking excited, Xiong Tingbi gently shook his head and motioned for him to sit down.  Frowning at the map behind him, Xiong Tingbi cast his gaze on Zuo Guangdou for a long time, and said seriously: "Zuo Jinglue, do you have any comments? You might as well talk and listen." Zuo Guangdou gently said  Frowning, he also cast his gaze on the map, shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Master Xiong, I used to think that I could be promoted to anything, and that I could learn even if I didn't know how to do it. But after coming to Liaodong,  Only then did the subordinate realize that this was not the case. Military affairs were the most important thing in the country and one should not be cautious.  The official has already submitted his resignation letter to the emperor, but after seeing the terrain of Ningyuan, the official still has something to say. " After hearing Zuo Guangdou's words, Xiong Tingbi was stunned, and bowed to Zuo Guangdou for a long time.  He said: "Your Excellency, you are so righteous!" Although Zuo Guangdou lightly mentioned the details of his resignation, the matter was far from that simple.  Zuo Guangdou was appointed by Emperor Tianqi to be the manager of Liaodong. He resigned within ten months after arriving in Liaodong, which can easily make people suspicious.  Even if the minister did not write a letter to participate in the impeachment, Emperor Tianqi would inevitably have no idea in his heart, and his future future would be difficult to predict.  Being able to throw away his own future for the sake of national affairs, Xiong Tingbi respects Zuo Guangdou very much. At the very least, his character is first-rate in the world.  Seeing what Zuo Guangdou said, Xiong Tingbi said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, sir, just say it." Nodding slowly, Zuo Guangdou came to the map and said in a deep voice: "Guangning is located on the west side of Yiwulu Mountain, 100 kilometers east of Yiwulu Mountain."  The city of Shenyang is four hundred miles away and the southwest is two hundred and fifty miles away from Jinzhou.  The headquarters of the Liaodong General Army is located in Guangning, so Guangning's status is very important.  But during the Battle of Sarhu, Lin Dan Khan of Mongolia's Chahar Tribe took advantage of our Ming Dynasty's empty rear defense and took the opportunity to attack Guangning.  After the Battle of Sarhu, the imperial court urgently needed to stabilize Liaodong, so it did not start a dispute with the Chahar tribe.  Seeing Zuo Guangdou's tactful words, Xiong Tingbi also nodded. In fact, at that time, the Ming army was seriously injured and no longer had the strength to break with the Chahar tribe. If they faced the Jiannu and Mongolian Tatars attacking together,  Liaodong will definitely not be saved. In order to save Liaodong, the court acquiesced to Lin Dan Khan's occupation of Guangning. Up to now, the Ming Dynasty and Lin Dan Khan have always been allies, and there has been no military confrontation in Guangning.  It was a friendship city between the two sides, where merchants traded with each other. The Mongolians bought iron pots here, and the Han people bought furs and horses. They had been coming here for so many years, but they couldn't explain many things, so Xiong Tingbi nodded slowly.  Nodding, indicating that he understood. Seeing Xiong Tingbi nodding, Zuo Guangdou knew that he didn't need to talk anymore. After pondering for a while, Zuo Guangdou continued: "To the south of Guangning City is my Daming Youtun, and further to the south is the sea.  .  To the west are Yizhou and Dalinghe Fort of the Ming Dynasty, and to the west is Jinzhou.  To the east is the Liaohe River, and after crossing the Liaohe River is Shenyang.  There is only one way to attack Guangning, and that is to the north of Guangning, the road that Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe once walked.  " Nodding slowly, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "What you said makes sense, and the letter also said so.  "Frowning and thinking for a while, Xiong Tingbi said with a gloomy face: "Jiannu has captured Guangning City, which means they came from the Mongolian Tatars.  " Zuo Guangdou also nodded cautiously, looked at Xiong Tingbi and said: "Jiannu is on the Kaiyuan side of Tieling, but Guangning is in the hinterland of western Liaoning. Although the distance is only a few hundred miles, it is still a premeditated attack here.  .  It is impossible for Jiannu to go around so far just to attack Guangning. There must be other things involved.  Even if Jiannu captured Guangning, it would be impossible to hold it. In the past few years, our Ming Dynasty's power in Liaodong has been restored. If it weren't for the alliance with Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe, we would have taken Guangning back long ago.  .  If Jiannu captured Guangning, we would naturally not have such scruples. Jiannu would not have thought of this, but they came anyway.  " After pondering for a long time, Xiong Tingbi nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "In other words, Jiannu's actions this time must have a purpose.It¡¯s hard to say what the purpose is, and we still don¡¯t know yet.  But no matter what the purpose is, it is not a good thing for us.  " Looking at Xiong Tingbi, Zuo Guangdou pondered for a moment before saying: "Although I don't understand military affairs and can't command a battle, I still have some insights into the situation.  Now we don¡¯t know the purpose of establishing slaves. We might as well think about it from another angle, how did they come to Guangning?  To the north of Guangning is the territory of the Mongolian Tatars. How could Lin Dan Khan allow the slaves to come here?  Also captured Guangning?  " "It is impossible to happen. Without Guangning's mutual trade, Mongolian Lin Danhan and his family would not be able to guarantee their daily necessities.  However, the Mongolian Tatars are not monolithic. Although the entire Monan Mongolia is nominally under Lin Dan Khan's deployment, there are many tribes that are not at odds with Lin Dan Khan, and the relationship between them is not very good.  Opposite Guangning are the five Nekalka tribes in Mongolia, all tribes controlled by Lindan Khan. Since Jiannu has come here, it means that the five Nekalka tribes have reached an agreement with Jiannu.  "Xiong Tingbi frowned tightly at this time and stared at the map with a cautious expression. Zuo Guangdou looked at Xiong Tingbi and stopped talking, allowing him to think quietly. For a long time, Xiong Tingbi Yi  He turned around with a solemn face and said calmly: "I have thought of it, this time is a big conspiracy to establish slaves, and their goal is not my Ming Dynasty.  From sending people to break into the Great Wall to attacking Guangning City, it was all a conspiracy. Their target was not us but Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe.  Jiannu didn't know what method he used to unite the Mongol Tatars from the five tribes in Inner Khalkha, and they were ready to attack Lin Dan Khan.  ¡± Zuo Guangdou also looked shocked. The alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolian Lin Dan Khan was very good. If Lin Dan Khan was destroyed, the whole of Mongolia would fall into the hands of Jian Nu. In the face of Jian Nu,  The slaves were attacking not only Liaodong, but the entire border of Ming Dynasty. Seeing Zuo Guangdou looking at him, Xiong Tingbi frowned tightly, pondered for a long time, and sighed deeply.  Sitting on the chair, Xiong Tingbi patted his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I have always been cautious, for fear that something would go wrong, but I didn't expect that I was deceived by Jiannu.  The 30,000 people they sent in were certainly not all cavalrymen who established slaves. Many of them were Mongolian Tatars.  When we sent them in, we had no intention of letting them go back without a trace, and their only purpose was to attract our attention.  " Patting his forehead hard, Xiong Tingbi continued: "In this way, we fell into the trap of Jian Nu and sent 50,000 troops to Zunhua. Just to comply with Jian Nu's wishes, we even annihilated all 30,000 people.  It doesn't help either.  " Seemingly feeling that Xiong Tingbi was too dejected, Zuo Guangdou said in a deep voice: "It's not the commander-in-chief's fault for this matter. Jiannu broke into the Great Wall and Zunhua City was in emergency. It was right for us to send King Qin to rescue him.  Xiong Tingbi shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a dejected face: "This is my fault. I will apologize to the emperor after the matter is over."  You can send troops to help the king anywhere, but we in Liaodong cannot, because the slaves want us to send people in.  We don¡¯t have to send people at all. There are three major battalions in the capital, Jizhou has troops from Baoding and other places, and there are also troops from the three governors and Datong.  Even if we don't send troops, the 30,000 people who established slaves will not be able to make any big waves.  " Sighing deeply, Xiong Tingbi said with a regretful look on his face: "At first, I thought that thanks to King Qin's rescue, the emperor would not blame me, but now I think about how stupid this idea is.  How can a minister do such a thing for his own selfishness? It is really unreasonable to be a minister!  " "Sir, even if there is nothing we can do here in Liaodong, we can still stand out from other places to help!  "Looking at Xiong Tingbi, Zuo Guangdou said hesitantly. Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiong Wencan said in a deep voice: "Our Ming Dynasty cavalry is so sparse that we have no ability to go out of the fortress. We can only go out from Guangning because we are relatively close to the Mongolian Tatars.  , their battlefield is also here, so we have the ability to stop them here.  This is also the reason why Jiannu attacked Guangning in advance. They just didn't want us to send troops from there, and they also wanted to attract our attention.  " "But sir, we can take Guangning back!"  Then lead the troops out to stop them!  Zuo Guangdou stood up suddenly and said excitedly. Xiong Tingbi sighed softly, suppressed his thoughts, steeled himself and said to You Shigong, who was looking dumbfounded on the side: "  No matter what, Guangning must be taken down first. Send an order to Luo Yiguan, the defender of Xiping Fort, Zuo Liangyu, the defender of Zuotun, and Chen Guangxu, the defender of Righttun, to lead their troops to Guangning and take Guangning back first.  "(To be continued.
