After the Qing army fled in a hurry, the Guanning Army and the three towns of Xuanda also sent cavalry to pursue, so as to follow the Tianwu Army to mix some first-class military exploits.

The cavalry of the Tianwu Army pursued all the way, and scattered a lot of Qing army rear teams, along the way, the Ming army units scrambled to kill the Qing army that fell behind, and several men and horses almost fought because of grabbing people's heads.

After chasing out for twenty miles, Cao Bianjiao gave up the pursuit and returned to the camp with the whole army, and many cavalry horses were hung with bloody cloth bags on both sides, which contained the heads of the Qing army.

In Zhu Cihong's Chinese army tent, the generals of the Ming army gathered here to discuss matters, and it was better to say that it was a discussion, but it was a quarrel.

Guan Ningjun and several general soldiers of Xuanda Sanzhen pulled their necks and shouted there, fighting endlessly for the first level, first blushing and scolding there, and then directly threw off their arms and started to do it, and in the end they even drew their swords against each other.

"Enough!"

Yang Sichang pointed to a few chief soldiers and said: "You are all second-grade chief military officers of the imperial court, what kind of system is this!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here! ”

Several generals with blue noses and swollen eyes scolded and put away their weapons and sat down angrily.

Shanhaiguan Chief Soldier Ma Ke was beaten the worst, he was unconvinced and said: "Your Highness, you give a comment, my Shanhaiguan elite horsemen took the lead, and killed a lot of Tartar heads, but they came to pick up ready-made, is this what people do?" ”

He looked at Zhu Cihong, but saw that the crown prince was talking and laughing with Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji and Mao Yuanyi, so he ignored him at all.

Bai Guangen, who had bruises at the corners of his mouth, said: "What do you mean by picking up ready-made?" Your Shanhaiguan men and horses killed the Tartars, didn't our Jizhou soldiers kill them? ”

These two chief soldiers were both born in rogues, and they were comrades-in-arms in a pit and served as officers and soldiers, but now they quarreled because of some leaders, and they hammered each other's faces, which is really embarrassing.

Even Ma Ke and Bai Guangen quarreled, not to mention the general soldiers of the other towns, if it weren't for Zhu Cihong and Yang Sichang, they would have taken out their knives and started doing it, maybe the soldiers and horses in all towns would have been able to do it.

The generals of the Tianwu Army looked at each other coldly, and their faces were full of disdain.

Gao Qiqian saw it in his eyes, and he said sharply: "Okay, don't be ashamed, look at the Tianwu Army, why is there no one fighting for military merits?" ”

Miyun General Tang Tong muttered: "People have cut thousands of heads, do you still need to fight?" ”

Chen Xinjia hurriedly came out of the round and said: "Since everyone has contributed, your military merits will be divided equally." ”

"How's that going to work?" Several general soldiers said in unison, all of them were not convinced.

Zhu Cihong suddenly stood up and shouted, "You haven't played yet, have you?" ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately quieted down and looked at Zhu Cihong one after another.

Zhu Cihong said: "Gao Qiqian, you are the chief army, come to tell the palace what is the crime of escaping from the battle?" ”

Gao Qi was stunned, and said a word from his mouth for a while: "Chop!" ”

Everyone was shocked, did the crown prince want to behead a few fleeing generals in front of the army? The best treatment for carrying this crime is also to dismiss the official and take away his post, and send him to the capital to wait for the Son of Heaven to deal with it.

Chen Xinjia hurriedly said: "Although the generals were defeated before, they also made some gains, which can be regarded as atonement for their sins, and I hope His Highness will be lightly dismissed." ”

Chen Xinjia is the superintendent of this battle, but it seems that there are few general soldiers to obey him, he needs to find an opportunity to win over the generals, and this is a rare opportunity.

Yang Sichang was even more afraid that this matter would stab the imperial court, so that Xue Guoguan, the first assistant of the cabinet, would catch the handle and attack him, he approached Zhu Cihong and said in a low voice: "The minister thinks that if there is a small defeat, it is better not to report it to the imperial court, so as not to disturb the sacred heart and cause panic among the ministers." ”

Zhu Cihong pretended to man for a moment, and then nodded slowly, indicating that he would let go of these few general soldiers who escaped from the battle.

Although several general soldiers knew that the crown prince would not really kill them, they were somewhat worried in their hearts, the crown prince cut four general soldiers in Jiangnan in a row, which was enough to show that his methods were ruthless, and everyone was a little nervous.

Subsequently, Chen Xinjia scolded several general soldiers, and then he was ready to reconsider the matter and discuss how to fight the next battle.

After several general soldiers went through this incident, who dared to talk more, sitting there one by one like an outsider, let alone asking for war to be a vanguard.

Seeing the embarrassed expressions on Chen Xinjia and Yang Sichang's faces, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Lu suggested that the crown prince should coordinate the battle situation. ”

The eyes of the generals in the account invariably looked at Zhu Cihong, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia also felt that it was feasible, and the current battle situation was not something that the two of them could handle.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Father asked Chen Qing to supervise the teacher, and this palace can't overstep his responsibilities." ”

Yang Sichang opened his mouth and said: "If Your Highness is unwilling, you can let the Tianwu Army surround the main core, and the rest of the troops are responsible for assisting in the plundering formation and dealing with the slaves and thieves together, is it okay?" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head again, bluntly saying that he would not accept this proposal, just kidding! Put Lao Tzu aside, let Lao Tzu's men and horses give you a hand, and earn military merits for you? What do you think!

Yang Sichang retreated and agreed with Zhu Cihong to coordinate the battle situation, but Zhu Cihong still shook his head and refused.

Yang Guozhu saluted and said: "The last general is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu Town under his command, accept His Highness's moderation, and obey His Highness's orders!" ”

"The last general is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of Shanxi Town, accept the moderation of His Highness, and obey His Highness's orders!"

"The last general is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of Jizhou Town under his command........."

"The last general is willing to lead the soldiers and horses of Datong Town under his command........."

“........”

All the general soldiers persuaded each other, expressing their willingness to accept the crown prince's moderation and obey his orders, but Zhu Cihong still shook his head and refused.

After several more prevarications, Zhu Cihong finally sighed and reluctantly agreed to coordinate the battle.

Zhu Cihong looked at Yang Sichang and said: "Yang Qing, you have also seen it, it's not that this palace wants to get involved in military power, if your father blames you in the future, you have to say a fair word for this palace!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yang Sichang nodded helplessly.

Zhu Cihong stood up and swept to the generals and said: "Thanks to the trust and support of the generals, the palace is no longer hypocritical, and the combat deployment will be arranged below!" ”

Zhu Cihong ordered people to carry out the sand table and said: "Our army retreated twenty miles and the soldiers were divided into two roads, the Guanning Army and the Xuanda people were stationed in Gaoyang City, and the Tianwu Army and the rest of the Tianxiong Army camped at the same mouth thirty miles northwest of Gaoyang City. ”

The generals looked at Gao Yang's position and the position of Tongkou, they all breathed a sigh of relief, the position of Tongkou was slightly in front of Gao Yang, if the Tartars attacked, it was most likely to attack Tongkou with a more important position first, after all, it was close to many lakes and there were no cities, so it was easy to fight!

Although Gaoyang City is small, it is surrounded by city walls, and the crown prince still has 50,000 troops stationed there, so it is expected that as long as the Tartars do not have problems with their brains, they will not easily gnaw Gaoyang City.

Zhu Cihong continued: "In this battle, the main palace is determined to annihilate the main force of 20,000 slaves and thieves with white flags and blue flags, and to kill Duoduo and Zierharang, I hope that everyone can work together to sweep the main force of the Tartars in the territory of Beizhili in one fell swoop!" ”

Everyone present gasped and killed the slave chieftain Duoduo and Zilharang? Everyone is eager to kill two Tartar princes and two banner owners with eight banners, which is a great achievement!

I heard that Duoduo was still Nurhachi's favorite son at the beginning, if he was killed, would Nurhachi's coffin board be unable to hold it down?
