Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Second Way
Beacon Hill. "Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa has just defeated Hauge, Wang Feng didn't have time to be happy, and the news made him frown again.
Before Wang Feng came to Liaodong, he had already sent Li Chengdong to lead 15,000 men to guard the Xifeng Pass. The Qing army made a detour through Shanhaiguan and broke through, which did not surprise Wang Feng. Wang Feng was surprised that Tatar chose Juyongguan instead of Xifengkou. Of course, what Wang Feng didn't know was that the reason why Tatar broke through from Juyong Pass was just because he got lost.
"Prepare the horses. Wang Feng was anxious and ran like Ning Yuan. The Tartars broke through the Yong Pass and entered completely, completely disrupting Wang Feng's previous deployment. What's even more terrifying is that the Tartars broke through the pass, leaving the defenders of the capital defenseless. The current capital is like a woman who has stripped off her clothes and is being kneaded by the tartars. "Drive. Thinking of this, Wang Feng couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Ningyuan City. Yuan Chonghuan had just finished writing the battle report of the Battle of Beacon Hill, and he had not yet had time to send it out. The 800-mile expedited paperwork of the military department has arrived. Before the document could be read, the emperor's envoy came to Ningyuan with the edict. The edict was unusually harshly worded. The four most important characters on it are "Rise up and fight the king." ”
"Quick. Ordered all the commanders-in-chief to come to the Marshal's Mansion to discuss matters. More than a dozen guards were ordered to hurry up and go. Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but open the edict again and read it again: "The Tartar soldiers are pointing directly at the capital." Hurry back to the division for rescue, or you'll see you later. ”
Not for a while. Several major military officers appeared in the lobby of the Shuai Mansion one after another. "Come, look. Yuan Chonghuan rubbed his head and pointed to the edict.
Tang Tong hurriedly opened the edict, and all the chief officers came over. "What. The Tartars have attacked the Kyoshi. This news surprised the chief officers of the re-field. None of them expected that this Tartar would bypass the Shanhai Pass and break through the Juyong Pass through Mongolia, and the troops would go straight to the Beijing Division.
"Ji Liao beckoned. Just as the general soldiers below were talking, the guards outside the door shouted loudly. Wang Feng walked in quickly.
"See the marshal. "Although Wang Feng is in a hurry, he will definitely not be less courteous. "See Your Excellency. Several of the generals also saluted. Wang Feng smiled and nodded in response.
"Tingguang, you're finally here. Seeing Wang Feng coming, Yuan Chonghuan's tightly knit brows eased slightly.
"Marshal, you must also know the news that the Tartars broke through the Shanhai Pass and attacked the Jingshi. Without waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to speak, Wang Feng went straight to the topic as soon as he came.
"Ting Guang, Ben Shuai has just received the news. I'm now consulting with all the commanders. Ting Guang is here. Just come and talk to us about it. Yuan Chonghuan was a little surprised by how quickly Wang Feng got the news.
"Great. He felt that he should immediately raise troops to serve the king at this time. As soon as Wang Feng's words fell, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, hurriedly answered, "The last general agrees with the idea of recruiting the envoy. The army should be raised immediately, and the commander should personally lead the army. Otherwise, I am afraid that the emperor will blame the marshal for not obeying the emperor's orders. ”
"yes. Oh, yes. The remaining commanders echoed.
Wang Feng couldn't help but glance at Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu. A person in his early thirties, although he is a military general, has long eyebrows and clear eyes. And it's definitely not a reckless person to think of this. Wang Feng couldn't help but secretly note down this Yang Guozhu.
"Great. Are you worried about Ning Yuan and the Tartars outside the Guan," Wang Feng saw that Yuan Chonghuan was speechless, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's still Tingguang who understands me. Yuan Chonghuan stood up and walked to the map to take a closer look. Wang Feng and several general soldiers also surrounded him. "You see, Ningyuan has hundreds of miles in the capital, and if we just send a partial division, we will have nothing to do in the capital. If we send heavy troops back to the Beijing Division, the siege of the Beijing Division may be resolved, but Ning Yuan will be empty of troops. Yuan Chonghuan pointed at Sheng Jing with a stroke of his finger, "This one will definitely not let go of this good opportunity." ”
As a courtier, the emperor's orders, he Yuan Chonghuan must listen, but as the commander of Liaodong, he must also take into account the interests of Liaodong.
"What does the big handsome mean," Wang Feng cautiously tentatively said, what he was afraid of was that Yuan Chonghuan would still make that decision.
"Ben Shuai. Yuan Chonghuan's eyes swept over everyone in turn. Then he said, "Ben Shuai decided to send Man Gui to lead five thousand Guanning iron cavalry back to the capital to help. ”
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words fell, Wang Feng gasped. It seems that history is still unchangeable, and even if I travel to this era, it has not affected the choice of the original characters.
"No, Dashuai, we have a second way to go. ”
"The second way. Yuan Chonghuan suddenly became interested.
"Look, handsome. Wang Feng's hand pointed to Jingshi, Shengjing, and Shanhaiguan in turn. This time, Hauge led two flags with a total of 40,000 horses. And Dolgon took at least two or three banners, fifty or sixty thousand. Assuming that there were really 50,000 or 60,000 horses with Dolgon, then the main force of the Eight Banners left in Shengjing would definitely not exceed 50,000. ”
"Fifty thousand. You mean," Yuan Chonghuan seemed to suddenly realize.
"That's right. We attacked Shengjing directly. Wang Feng clenched his fist and slapped it heavily on the map.
"Attack Shengjing. Wang Feng's voice came out. The general soldiers below suddenly seemed to explode the pot. Babbling began. For them, attacking Shengjing was simply a difficult task. You must know that since the Wanli year, the Ming Dynasty has never taken the initiative to attack the Tartars. Now Wang Feng actually asked them to take the initiative to attack Shengjing. And it is also Shengjing City, which is garrisoned by 50,000 people.
"Great. Aren't you worried that Ning Yuan will be attacked by the Tartars after returning to the division? On the one hand, this attack on Shengjing will turn from defense to offense, relieving the pressure on Ning Yuan, and on the other hand, it will also force Dolgon, who is besieging the Beijing division, to return to Shengjing. ”
"Then if Dolgon doesn't come back to Shengjing," Tang Tong was the first to stand up and question.
"It's better not to go back to Shengjing. Hasn't he Huang Taiji always been suspicious of Dolgon, if Dolgon doesn't return to the division, then will Huang Taiji let him command the army again, then my Ming will definitely have one less strong opponent. "Wang Feng is still quite jealous of Dolgon. After all, it was this man who caused chaos in the Han family, and Wang Feng would definitely not let go of the opportunity to get rid of him.
"Great. Humble and asked for orders to command the troops to take Shengjing City directly. Wang Feng knelt down and pleaded.
"Nope. The commander will personally lead the army to attack Shengjing City. Yuan Chonghuan made a decision that surprised everyone.
"Great. Wang Feng still wants to persuade again. For Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Feng just wanted to give him the beauty of returning to Beijing, and didn't want him to be reincarnated by history again. But he still chose his trajectory.
"Wang Feng. Ben Shuai ordered you to lead 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry back to the capital. ”
