"Military Emergency!" As soon as the messenger arrived at the door, he said loudly, "The Mongol Tatars have invaded northern Shaanxi. ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was very surprised.

Outside the Qindi Pass, the original Tumut tribe was driven away by the Chahar tribe in the east, and then Jianlu conquered the Chahar tribe. Lin Dan Khan died of illness in a hasty escape, and his wife and children surrendered to Huang Taiji.

Since then, the Hetao has been grazed by the Tumut tribe. Under the great loss of strength, there has been no invasion of the pass.

It's only been a few years, and it's impossible for the strength of the Tumut Department to recover, so they dare to invade the Guannai?

Thinking so, Sun Chuanting immediately took the emergency report and read it.

Gao Jie on the side was still thinking about going out to fight Li Zicheng! Suddenly encountering such a thing made him a little unhappy. If he can choose, he definitely wants to beat Li Zicheng. Because he and Li Zicheng are mortal enemies, no matter what, there is always someone who wants to die.

However, he also knew that the most important duty of the trilateral governor was actually to deal with the Mongol Tartars. Now that there are police in northern Shaanxi, the governor can't take him to beat Li Zicheng nine times out of ten.

Sure enough, Sun Chuanting quickly finished reading the emergency report, and then said with a stern face: "Pass on the military order, all the armies assemble and immediately prepare to go north." ”

When Gao Jie heard this, he hurriedly reminded: "What about the battle of Kaifeng?" ”

After Sun Chuanting heard this, he also frowned, and it could be seen from his face that he was obviously a little embarrassed.

Seeing this situation, Gao Jie hurriedly said: "My lord, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, who are known as millions of people, have been crisscrossing the Central Plains before, and Xingguo Gong is afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone, right?" ”

"yes!" Sun Chuanting nodded after hearing this and said, "The thieves are cunning and have strong troops. If the officer leads the troops out of Tongguan and attacks from west to east, killing the thieves by surprise, victory can be expected. But ......"

Speaking of this, he paused and then frowned and said, "This time the Mongol Tatars invaded the Guannei, which is extremely unusual. Judging from their offensive, the official pondered that it was probably not only the Tumut Department, maybe there was a shadow of Liaodong Jianyu behind it. ”

Under normal circumstances, even if the Mongolian Tartars outside the Guanguan want to invade the Guannai, they will wait until the autumn is high and the horses are fattened, and the Guannai is harvested, and they will come in to grab things.

It's still summer, and it's obviously very unusual for them to attack on such a large scale. Sun Chuanting thought about it for a while, and guessed that it was their master who was making waves behind it.

The Great Wall defense line deployed by Xingguo Gong before was only from Shanhaiguan to Zhangjiakou. The border armies in other places have suffered great losses in the wars of these years, and I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the invasion of the Tartars outside the Guanwai.

Seriously, Sun Chuanting felt very embarrassed at this time.

It was his primary duty to defend against the Mongol Tatars and ensure that Qin was not invaded by the Tatars outside the Guan.

As for supporting the battle of Kaifeng, in the previous will given to him, it was clearly stated that after he was ready, he could choose the opportunity to go out of Tongguan.

That is to say, participation in the war in the Central Plains is not the most important thing.

But Sun Chuanting just said that today's imperial court cannot do without Xingguo Gong. In case the battle of Kaifeng is lost and something happens to Xingguogong, then those who are currently good in the court are likely to fall short.

After being in a dilemma, Sun Chuanting suddenly made up his mind, and said to Gao Jie with a stern face: "You lead the army north first, and use bluff tactics to intimidate those Mongolian Tatars, so as not to harm more places." The official personally led the main force and immediately went out of Tongguan to rescue Kaifeng. ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Jie knew that the governor was still worried about the war in Kaifeng, and felt that the Xingguo Guild would be in danger, and he couldn't beat Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. Therefore, I was ready to take a risk and save Xingguo Gong first.

"The last general obeys!" Gao Jie listened, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said.

But at this moment, I heard hurried footsteps from outside.

At this time, this footstep sound is really a bit sensitive. Whether it was Sun Chuanting or Gao Jie, they all turned their heads to look outside. Their faces were a little worried.

Who knew that it was Sun Da who appeared in their sight, and they saw him looking at Sun Chuanting with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Master, Kaifeng is a great victory!" ”

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie were quite surprised. Among them, Sun Chuanting hurriedly said: "Good news, bring it quickly." ”

Sun Da's footsteps did not stop, and he walked straight in front of Sun Chuanting, presenting good news with both hands.

Gao Jie looked at Sun Chuanting watching the good news, and at the same time he couldn't help but think excitedly: Xingguo Gong is so powerful in war? It's better to kill that Li Zicheng!

Although he thinks so, in fact, he himself knows that this is a bit unrealistic. An army of millions, how can it be so easy to defeat? It's not good that Li Zicheng and the others saw that they couldn't stalemate, so they took the initiative to withdraw from the army, otherwise how could they be thieves!

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly heard a "pop", and when he heard the sound, he saw Sun Chuanting slapping the table excitedly, and sighed with emotion: "This battle is really incredible, Guogong actually won like this!" Wonderful, wonderful! ”

When Gao Jie heard this, his heart was itching, and he hurriedly asked, "My lord, you won't really kill Li Zicheng, right?" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "I almost killed him, but he had a big life and was escaped by him." ”

In fact, Gao Jie just asked casually, thinking about Li Zicheng's death. Unexpectedly, the answer was that Li Zicheng really almost died.

Suddenly, he was very surprised. But before he could ask, he heard Sun Chuanting say again: "Luo Rucai is dead!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Jie was a little hard to imagine, Li Zicheng almost died, Luo Rucai was already dead, what kind of victory was this?

Seeing that his face was full of curiosity, Sun Chuanting was in the right mood, so he quickly handed him the good news. And Sun Chuanting himself, his fingers regularly knocked on the table, obviously thinking.

After a while, Gao Jie read the good news and said to Sun Chuanting in great surprise: "This ...... The battle of Kaifeng, how do you feel that winning is a bit inexplicable! It was Li Zicheng who died by himself, and then sent this great victory! ”

"Wrong!" Sun Chuanting had already figured it out at this time, and said to Gao Jie, "Xingguo Gong has strategized and taken the lead from the beginning, even if there is no Li Zichenghuo and Luo Rucai, he will be defeated sooner or later!" ”

Seeing that Gao Jie was a little puzzled, Sun Chuanting explained: "The Guogong occupies a favorable location, and wins the people, the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the army, all of which are on the side of the Guogong." That Li Zicheng obviously couldn't hold on, so he thought about Huo and Luo Rucai. Even if his wishful thinking is launched, he swallows Luo Rucai's men and horses, and the plague does not break out, it is impossible to win the battle against Xingguo Gong in the end. ”

Gao Jie was still confused, he only knew one thing, according to the meaning of the governor, everything was under the control of Xingguo Gong, and the outcome was already decided.

After explaining so much, it is already the upper limit of Sun Chuanting. Although Gao Jie still doesn't understand, he won't explain it anymore. It's just that he was pondering there, and obviously he benefited a lot from this battle of Kaifeng.

After a long while, Sun Chuanting came back to his senses and said to Gao Jie: "In the Central Plains War, there is a rejuvenating country, and it is impossible for thieves to make waves. Our whole army went north, and we first went to teach those Mongol Tartars a lesson. ”

"The last general obeys!" When Gao Jie heard this, he hurriedly clasped his hands into fists to receive his life, and then left quickly to prepare to go north.

Seeing that there were only his confidants in the lobby, Sun Chuanting muttered to himself in a low voice: "Xingguo Gong is so powerful, I have to be more attentive!" ”

……………………

Almost at the same time, the eight-hundred-mile rush also reached Jingshi.

"What?" Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard this, "The Mongol Tatars invaded, and Datong fell?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the urgent report said that the new Datong General has not yet taken office, and the Mongol Tatars have not attacked for several years, so the sudden attack is really unexpected." The envoy hurriedly replied.

Wang Pu, the original commander of Datong, was wiped out in the Battle of Songjin. Therefore, the army on the Datong side was empty, and the fall was not unexpected.

Min Hongxue, the secretary of the military department, also came out and said: "Jizhen, Zhangjiakou line, all of them have been attacked by the Mongolian Tartars, so it can be seen that although there is no news from Qindi, it is likely that they have also been attacked." Weichen thought that such a large-scale offensive was likely to be a temptation by Liaodong Jiannu. ”

Because of the proximity, the governor of Yamanaga Zuo Yingxuan was the first to hear that the Great Wall was attacked by the Mongol Tatars.

Hearing Min Hongxue's words, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be even more worried.

Just before, he received Zhang Mingwei's good news, and he was very happy. But in the blink of an eye, the Mongolian Tatars actually came to make trouble again, which really made him feel a little familiar.

Seeing that he was worried, the courtiers who were discussing the matter below came out one after another.

"Your Majesty, please quickly transfer the Xingguo Gonggong Department to the north to ensure the safety of the land of Gyeonggi."

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. Now only the elite of the Xingguo Gongsu Department can repel such a large-scale invasion! ”

“……”

Hearing that so many courtiers asked for the transfer of Zhang Mingwei's subordinates, to be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was indeed a little moved. However, he had an instinctive feeling that it was not appropriate to do so.

If the Xingguo Office is transferred back at this time, Li Zicheng's department, which has just suffered a big defeat, will definitely make a comeback, and it will be the same again. Such a situation, of course, is not what Emperor Chongzhen wants to see.

However, so many civil officials were all persuading him, in short, the reason was that Xingguo Gong was powerful, and with such a large-scale attack by the Mongol Tatars, only Xingguo Gong, the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, could resolve the crisis.

If you can't strike hard, then it is likely that the Mongol Tatars have not left, and Liaodong Jianyu will follow.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered that Zhang Mingwei had told him that at the end of the year, Jianyu would invade.

Thinking about it like this, he was really worried. If he had Xingguo Gong by his side, he would be able to rest assured.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen like this, those civil and military officials who persuaded Emperor Chongzhen to transfer Xingguo Gong back spoke even more energetically.
