    The weather is getting colder and colder. The snow on the ground dazzles people's eyes under the sunlight. The land in Liaodong is covered with snow.  .This sudden heavy snow caught many people off guard, and both sides of the battle fell into anxiety.  Standing at the top of Tieling City, Sun Chengzong frowned and looked at the countryside. He was wearing a bearskin cloak and a bearskin hat on his head, so as to resist the cold east wind.  Looking back at Xiong Tingbi who was standing next to him, Sun Chengzong sighed softly.  "Sir, why are you sighing?" Xiong Tingbi was very excited. This time he not only took back Tieling and Kaiyuan, but also blocked Jiannu's retreat.  I heard that the Northwest side is playing well, so I can't be embarrassed here.  Shaking his head gently, Sun Chengzong pulled the cloak on his body and said: "Fei Bai, our plan may be in vain. It may not be easy to fight in such weather!" Xiong Tingbi felt very hot in his heart. Unexpectedly,  However, Xiong Tingbi gave himself a basin of cold water and calmed down his mood. Xiong Tingbi could also understand what Sun Chengzong said.  " If it hadn't been for this heavy snow, Jianu would naturally not be willing to fail and would definitely take back Tieling and Kaiyuan, so that there would be battles to fight.  But the snow was really too heavy. In such weather, it was impossible for Jiannu to attack the well-defended city of the Ming army. It would be no different from death.  "Although we have held Kaiyuan and Tieling, it is not easy to restore the previous situation. Originally in the north of Kaiyuan, the Ye He tribe of the Haixi Jurchens was stationed there. They were staunch allies of the Ming Dynasty. In the northeast  , and other Jurchen tribes in Haixi, but now?" Sun Chengzong had no expression on his face, staring outside the city, with indescribable disappointment in his tone.  Although Sun Chengzong didn't say anything, Xiong Tingbi could still understand Sun Chengzong's mood, because it was the same as his.  As the saying goes, if one general is incompetent, a thousand troops will be exhausted.  In the battle of Saarhu, the Ming Dynasty's two hundred years of advantage in Liaodong disappeared.  The Haixi Jurchens, Hada and Huifa who originally stood in the same camp as the Ming Dynasty were annexed by the Jiannu. Many people from the Ula tribe died in the battle, and most of them were reorganized by the Jiannu.  Now only the Yehe tribe is left. The Yehe tribe can be preserved because the Yehe tribe surrendered to the wild boar skin and became a vassal of the Aixinjueluo family.  Thinking back on each incident, Xiong Tingbi could only sigh helplessly. The situation in Liaodong had deteriorated to this point, and most of the blame should be placed on the ministers who fought all day long in the court.  A vegetarian meal in a corpse position, extremely incompetent!  This is what Xiong Tingbi said to them.  This is also the reason why Xiong Tingbi scolded them for so many years. In Xiong Tingbi's opinion, these people ruined the Ming Dynasty.  In fact, in Xiong Tingbi's mind, he did not blame the emperor who had not been in court for twenty years, but he could only suppress this in his own mind.  Seeing that Xiong Tingbi was deep in thought, Sun Chengzong didn't speak. He just stood there quietly, seemingly not feeling the cold wind blowing on his face.  His snow-white beard was fluttering in the wind, but his body still stood there firmly.  After a long time, Xiong Tingbi exhaled a breath and said with a smile: "Sir, times have changed, and many things cannot be seen with the same eyes. As the saying goes, we should look at each other with new eyes in the next three days!" A smile suddenly appeared on Sun Chengzong's face,  He didn't look back, and said with joy in his tone: "Let's talk!" "Since the Lord is interested, then I'll show my shame! Although the current situation is not as good as before, I think this is just superficial. In fact,  The situation is much better than before!" Xiong Tingbi had a smile on his face, and his previous depression was gone, and he was carrying unprecedented confidence.  Smiling and nodding, Sun Chengzong slowly turned around, looked at Xiong Tingbi with interest, and said: "It's interesting, let's talk about it!" "In the battle of Saarhu, it was not so much Yang Hao's mistake.  , rather it was the problem of the entire Ming Dynasty. The imperial army was in power, the frontier troops were weak, and their combat effectiveness was low. Although the Ming Dynasty controlled Liaodong at that time and had the help of the Haixi Jurchen, it was defeated.  It was also expected!" Xiong Tingbi sighed, although he had already let go, he still felt a little sad.  Nodding with satisfaction, Sun Chengzong finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he first came to Liaodong, Sun Chengzong trained Xiong Tingbi as his successor, and now he finally has a decent figure.  "What about now? What is the situation in the Ming Dynasty now?" Being able to see the past clearly is not something worth boasting about. Being able to see the current situation is the most important thing, Sun Chengzong said solemnly.  "It is naturally different now. Since he ascended the throne, the current emperor has been close to virtuous ministers and far away from villains. He has clarified the court, re-employed capable officials, and reorganized the king's army. He has already assumed the attitude of a holy master. He has reused virtuous ministers like ministers and rectified the Liaodong army.  , Now that Liaodong has strong troops and horses, it is just a matter of time to destroy Liaodong and restore the original situation.??Plowing the courtyard and sweeping the holes is also an unspeakable achievement.  Xiong Tingbi said with a smile, and finally flattered Sun Chengzong. After shaking his head, Sun Chengzong said a little helplessly: "You!"  I don¡¯t know what to say about you!  But you are right, Your Majesty, there is hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty!  " "Report!  "Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were still about to say something. A voice interrupted their conversation, and a scout ran up from the city. Seeing the frost on the scout's face, Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi's faces became serious. This was spreading out.  Detective, it seems something big has happened. "Commander, Jiannu has broken out of camp. They are walking from the north to the east of Kaiyuan City at a very fast speed.  Passing through the Yehe tribe's territory, if there is no obstruction, they will soon be able to enter the Jurchens' defense line.  "There was no expression on the scout's face. They had reported the urgent military situation, and it was not up to them to decide what to do. After listening to the scout's report, Sun Chengzong waved his hand for the scout to go down, turned around and said to Xiong Tingbi: "What do you think now?  Is it suitable?  " Xiong Tingbi frowned tightly. He didn't expect that Jiannu really didn't fight. He thought about it and said: "Sir, such weather is extremely unfavorable for the movement of the army.  What's more, although we have 20,000 cavalry, the rest are just infantry. It is really difficult to chase Jiannu in this weather.  If we send troops to intercept the Jiannu, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. If there is a slight oversight, all the previous efforts will be wasted.  " He nodded in agreement. If we pursue now, the possibility of defeat is very high. As the saying goes, risk your life and survive. The combat power of Jiannu in the Jedi is definitely not trivial. What's more, Jiannu has many cavalry, and such snowy weather is not conducive to fighting.  On my own side. But if you let such a good opportunity pass, it is really unacceptable. If someone takes the opportunity to participate in the war, the crime of delaying the opportunity is not easy to resist.  That's what I thought.  Since we can't wait to build a slave, taking the initiative is the best choice.  Of course, they couldn't intercept Jiannu's troops. The lower official felt that the best way was to return to the army and go straight to Fushun City.  Taking advantage of the fact that Jiannu had no time to take care of it and Fushun's troops were empty, he captured Fushun.  In this way, we can talk about Hetuala aggressively.  Once Fushun is regained from Xin, it will be equivalent to nailing Jiannu here, leaving him no time to worry about Ye He and the Mongolian tribes!  "Xiong Tingbi's eyes were shining brightly. At first, Xiong Tingbi thought that Fushun should be attacked, but he was persuaded by Sun Chengzong. Now that he has such a good opportunity, Xiong Tingbi will not let it go. After finishing speaking, Xiong Tingbi looked at Song Chengzong expectantly.  After thinking quietly for a moment, Sun Chengzong nodded slowly. Now that he was fighting Jiannu in the wild, the chance of his side winning was very small. However, when attacking Fushun City, Sun Chengzong was extremely confident that he would win this battle.  Then according to Fei Bai's suggestion, pass the command to the commander, set off with the whole army, and march straight to Fushun!  "Sun Chengzong gave the order with a serious face, and started moving in one sentence. After a day of preparation, the army set off early the next morning! At this time, the morale of the Jurchen team was very low, and a heavy snow extinguished most of them.  The fighting spirit of the Eight Banners. When Nurhachi heard that Kaiyuan and Tieling were lost and his son Abai died in the battle, he fell on the bed. This was nothing short of adding insult to injury for the already low morale of the Jurchens.  Under the circumstances, attacking Tieling and Kaiyuan again was simply a dream. After everyone's advice, Nurhaci gave up his original plan and took a detour directly back to Xingjing. But at this time, Nurhaci did not know that the Ming army had already sent troops to attack Fushun.  I don¡¯t know what his reaction will be after hearing the news. Like Nurhaci, Emperor Tianqi is also very angry now, but he can only lie in bed. Although his face is much better, he is extremely weak.  Still a little green. He glanced at Wei Chao and Luo Sigong who were kneeling on the ground. Emperor Tianqi didn't say a word. The two people had been kneeling there for an hour. Emperor Tianqi, who originally cared for his ministers, was uncharacteristically greeting them.  Wang Chengen, who was standing aside, shouted, and Emperor Tianqi said: "Go and open the window!  "Smelling the pungent smell of Chinese medicine in the room, Emperor Tianqi felt that his head was spinning. "Your Majesty, you are very weak now, and it is winter again. How can you open the window?  The emperor still has to put the dragon body first!  "Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly stopped him. After a deep look at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi didn't insist, and said: "Move all the incense burners out of the house, open the windows, and the smell in the house must be released.  Lose.  You pick a few that are farther away from me and go get it done!  " Seeing Emperor Tianqi's resolute attitude, Wang Chengen could only nodded and turned around to arrange things. Emperor Tianqi turned his eyes back to the two people kneeling on the ground. The look in his eyes was very complicated. After a long time, he whispered softlyHe said: "Everyone, get up! You are not young anymore, and the ground is still a little cold."
