Sun Chuanting's plan is very good, and it is feasible to implement. The final result is also very favorable. Now it depends on whether we have the courage to carry it out.

The plan was handed over to Zhu Youxiao, and the decision was naturally made by him.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't think too much about it and just chose to do it.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao was very clear about the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If Liaodong could win this time, the Ming Dynasty would gain too much.

If this battle is won, it will not only reverse the offensive between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu, but also deter the Mongols.

In addition, it can also enhance the prestige of Emperor Zhu Youxiao in the court. After all, the emperor was in Liaodong, and he could be regarded as having personally led the expedition to Liaodong and won the battle, which could also enhance the deterrent capability of his personal army.

If we win this, there will be a lot of benefits.

But what if we lose?

As the saying goes, "Before you think about victory, you must think about defeat." According to Sun Chuanting, once the two-front war was launched, Huang Taiji would have no time to take care of Tieling and Qinghe.

This was not a strategy, nor was it a test of Huang Taiji's courage. Because Tieling Heqing and the front line were not that important compared to the three guards of Jianzhou.

Although the Tieling and Qinghe lines are also important, their importance is different.

If Tieling and Qinghe were lost, the Jiannu would be very sad, but they could endure it; however, if the three guards of Jianzhou were lost, then the matter would be serious, as they would have lost their hometown, and their current hometown could be easily taken down at any time.

Under such circumstances, Huang Taiji had no choice but to concentrate his forces to eliminate part of Sun Chuanting, and then wait for an opportunity to attack Liaoyang or Shenyang.

In Sun Chuanting's plan, he did not use the troops from Liaodong, as Liaoyang had enough people to defend it. The same was true for Shenyang.

Moreover, if Sun Chuanting was defeated, Xiong Tingbi could still retreat. In the end, only Sun Chuanting's army would be lost. The worst outcome would be annihilation of the entire army, the second worst outcome would be defeat and retreat; the best outcome would naturally be victory.

So Sun Chuanting described it in great detail in the plan, but he did not say whether he wanted to do it or not, he just expressed his own thoughts.

Obviously, although Sun Chuanting was young, he was also experienced in officialdom. He knew that he had no way and no qualifications to make decisions for the emperor.

All he could do was to put forward his suggestions. The final outcome would still be decided by Zhu Youxiao.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao would not let Sun Chuanting down, and even Sun Chuanting thought so.

Glancing at Wei Chao standing beside him, Zhu Youxiao said, "You've been in Liaodong for so long, and you're familiar with all the officials here. This time, you'll be the one to deliver the imperial edict."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao agreed quickly.

"Tell Sun Chuanting that I agree to what he said. The remaining 5,000 men in Shanhaiguan will be transferred to him. Also, the 5,000 men from Lu Xiangsheng will be transferred back to Sun Chuanting. All 5,000 men will be handed over to Sun Chuanting."

The original strategy of dividing the troops was formulated by Zhu Youxiao, and the purpose was very simple. On the one hand, it was to cooperate with Xiong Tingbi, and on the other hand, it was to cooperate with Wang Zaijin so that they could seize Daning when they had the chance.

In Sun Chuanting's current plan, Daning was no longer important. As long as Tieling and Qinghe were captured, or one of the three Jianzhou guards, the situation would immediately change, and there would be no need to station troops in Guangning.

As for helping the Mongols, there was nothing we could do. They could only rely on themselves. If they could win, they would fight. If they couldn't, it was just bad luck.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao said quickly, "I will leave immediately."

Zhu Youxiao has always had the courage to take action.

Although he is very cautious, thinks a lot, and considers everything carefully, he will never show mercy when he really has the chance.

Following Zhu Youxiao's imperial edict, all the people in Shanhaiguan were mobilized.

The 5,000 imperial guards originally stationed here immediately began a forced march to Shenyang. For these imperial guards, forced marches were a daily training subject.

Their equipment was excellent, with artillery and rockets all mounted on vehicles, which did not affect their marching speed. They also had leg wraps, a magical device that allowed them to march very quickly.

As for Lu Xiangsheng's troops in Guangning, after receiving the order, they did not stop at all and rushed directly to Shenyang City.

The entire Liaodong region was shrouded in war clouds, and everyone was in tense preparation.

In Shenyang City.

After the news came back, Sun Chuanting smiled.

As expected, I guessed right. His Majesty will definitely support him! I must do my best this time and will definitely not let His Majesty down!

But after Xiong Tingbi got the news, his expression was no longer so good.

Firstly, I'm worried, and secondly, I'm a little jealous.

Xiong Tingbi had always felt that he was the emperor's confidant and was deeply favored by his majesty. However, compared to Sun Chuanting, this was still inferior. The emperor really had nothing to say about these personal soldiers.

When he saw Sun Chuanting, Xiong Tingbi glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Sir Sun, I still don't support your plan. I think it's too risky. But since His Majesty has made the decision, we, as his subjects, must do our best to carry it out."

"I hope you won't let me down this time." Xiong Tingbi pondered for a moment and then continued, "Don't worry, I will immediately lead my men to Tieling and Qinghe and try to capture them."

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Xiong, I will never let you down, let alone His Majesty."

The two of them had a brief conversation, and the rest would have to be discussed on the battlefield.
