Besides, Sun Chuanting had already realized from Xiong Tingbi's actions that this Lord Xiong looked down on him, or rather, looked down on the team he brought with him.
Sun Chuanting could also understand that it was not surprising that people would look down on you if you had not proven yourself; in the military, weakness was the original sin, and there was nothing to say about it.
However, Sun Chuanting couldn't admit it because he was very strong. How to prove it? Sun Chuanting naturally had a way to do it.
Are you going to complain to His Majesty or jumping up and saying something?
This is childish and meaningless. If you can't produce results and win battles, your words are meaningless.
Sun Chuanting said, "Master Xiong, you're welcome. We already had dinner when we set up camp, so we can eat the rest tonight. Why don't we talk about the advance first?"
After listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Xiong Tingbi nodded and said, "That's good."
Xiong Tingbi felt relieved that the other party was not a good-for-nothing.
If the other party really agrees to have dinner with you, then you have to change your attitude, coax them, let them take some credit, and then send them away with peace of mind.
If the other side really wants to fight, then we'll see what they're capable of.
A group of people soon arrived at the governor's office.
Because this war was extremely urgent, the governor's office had already prepared a combat meeting hall.
In fact, the combat meeting room has always existed, but it was not so big before.
There was a map in the expanded conference room, and many things were very clear, with red and green flags spread all over the map.
This map is very detailed. After all, the areas occupied by the Jiannu were originally part of the Ming Dynasty. There is nothing unfamiliar about places like Tieling, Qinghe, and Kaiyuan. Naturally, there is no need to worry about getting lost or losing the direction when advancing.
Sun Chuanting glanced at the map, then at Xiong Tingbi, and said with a smile, "Master Xiong is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Although many people looked down on Xiong Tingbi, many officials in the court also had strong opinions about him, believing that Xiong Tingbi was a person with no talent but only a reputation. They felt that if His Majesty did not trust Xiong Tingbi, such a person should go home and raise his children.
As for Xiong Tingbi's achievements in Liaodong, no one paid much attention to them. In the eyes of many people, it was just defending the city, what was the difficulty?
What's more, the imperial court gave so much money and so many weapons, who could not defend it?
As for Xiong Tingbi's killing of Nurhaci by bombing, many people believe that it was just due to the use of a cannon and good luck.
But Sun Chuanting disagreed. He was well aware of the Ming Dynasty's situation in Liaodong. Ever since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming Dynasty's situation in Liaodong had become precarious. Both Shenyang and Liaoyang were in imminent danger, and Guangning was even more so.
It’s just that Sun Chuanting didn’t have a say before, so what he said didn’t count.
After Xiong Tingbi arrived in Shenyang, he quickly stabilized the situation and established a new line of defense, preventing the Jiannu from taking a step beyond the line. He was also able to kill Nurhaci with a cannon. Xiong Tingbi's ability is beyond doubt.
Therefore, Sun Chuanting respected Xiong Tingbi very much and was very kind to him.
Xiong Tingbi glanced at Sun Chuanting and breathed a sigh of relief.
He feared that the young man before him, coupled with the high regard His Majesty held him in, might easily become arrogant and domineering. Even talented people would be difficult to get along with, just like Huo Qubing in the past.
Is Huo Qubing talented?
Yes, and he was very famous. But Huo Qubing grew up next to Emperor Wu of Han, so he was also very arrogant.
Although Xiong Tingbi admired Huo Qubing's ability, he felt uncomfortable getting along with such a person. However, Sun Chuanting in front of him did not have such intentions, which made Xiong Tingbi feel relieved.
"Mr. Xiong, can you tell me what you are going to do next?" Sun Chuanting looked at Xiong Tingbi and asked directly.
In fact, Sun Chuanting's question was inappropriate. He was there to cooperate, and he should have done whatever Xiong Tingbi asked him to do.
But Sun Chuanting knew very well that he was a member of the imperial army, and Xiong Tingbi would definitely have concerns. To put it bluntly, he couldn't suffer too much loss, and he had to make a contribution and protect it well, and he couldn't let it go badly.
Under such circumstances, what's the point of the Royal Army fighting?
Sun Chuanting absolutely could not let Xiong Tingbi do this. Sun Chuanting asked this because he wanted to seize an opportunity and find a suitable point to fight this battle.
Xiong Tingbi looked at Sun Chuanting and naturally understood what he was thinking. He didn't want to follow the instructions!
This made Xiong Tingbi feel a little overwhelmed.
If he really followed this young man's idea, he would be hard-pressed to explain if anything went wrong. However, it wasn't without benefits. If His Majesty knew they were doing this on purpose, then he, Old Bear, would be able to distance himself from any responsibility if something went wrong.
Xiong Tingbi said with a forced smile, "Okay, I'll tell you about it."
After saying this, Xiong Tingbi picked up a pole, walked to the side of the map, and pointed to a place.
