When the Jiannu West Route Army was killed by Qin Chuan, the other three routes of soldiers and horses swept through Xuanda like locusts.

After the two armies of Derge and Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo had bloodied the city, they divided their troops and swept southwest, plundering all the villages and towns in their passes.

When they arrived in Ulju, the two groups merged and besieged the city of Ulju.

The defenders of Ulzhou City were Zeng Caofei, the general of Datong who had been defeated under Qin Chuan, and there were 2,500 defenders in the city, more than 4,000 such as government officials, village warriors, and Minzhuang, a total of 7,000 defenders held on day and night, and repelled the attack of Jiannu several times.

Seeing that the city of Ulzhou was difficult to capture, Huang Taiji made it clear that he would not attack the city before the expedition, so he withdrew his troops and retreated, and once again plundered the nearby by dividing the army.

Ulzhou is located in the later Ulxian Basin, the land is rich, there are a large number of surrounding villages and towns, and many villages and towns have no time to transfer the people and money and grain, without exception by the blood of Jiannu.

Immediately afterwards, the three brothers, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, led an army of white flags and white flags south to Guangchang, plundered the surrounding area of Guangchang City, and began to besiege Guangchang City.

The positive blue flag of the Derge class was also divided into blue flags, and he personally led the way to break through Guangling County.

The other was led by Abatai to the south and attacked Lingqiu County.

Then, Derge and Abatai met at the Lin Pass and marched to the west, preparing to join Huang Taiji and Daishan in Shuozhou.

The three brothers, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, after plundering the Guangchang area, went west to break through the Pingxingling Pass, entered the Xinding Basin, and marched towards Daizhou, Dunxian and Xinzhou.

When the east road is like entering no man's land, the main force of the yellow flag inlaid with the yellow flag led by Huang Taiji, there are also Xuanzhen all the way to Datong Town, first Datong and Hunyuan Prefecture after the blood is washed away, then the army surrounds Huairen, and enters the town of Datong.

Cao Wenzhao, who was stationed in Datong, learned that the Huang Taiji soldiers were besieging Huairen and that the Jiannu forces were scattered, so he decisively led 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry to attack, wanting to break through Jiannu to relieve the siege of Huairen.

Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji had already prepared, besieged Huairen, and divided his troops to plunder everywhere, and ordered Yanguli and Kupilon to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to cruise between Huairen and Datong.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses arrived, Yanguli and Kupilon greeted him.

Cao Wenzhao's 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry, defeated by these two Jin generals led by the yellow flag and the elite of the yellow flag, the enemy was defeated soon after, fortunately, Cao Wenzhao was in the battle to respond, ordered Cao Bianjiao to lead a fine cavalry to break off, repelled the pursuit of Yanguli and Curb Pilon, Cao Wenzhao was able to collect more than 2,000 routs and retreat to Datong City.

Seeing that Huairen County could not be attacked for a long time, Huang Taiji did not want to lose too many troops in this small city, so he withdrew his troops and turned to surround Datong City.

Datong is the king of the country, and it is the gateway to the northwest of the mountain, and its importance is self-evident.

In addition to the original defenders, Cao Wenzhao also mobilized the squires in the city to donate money and grain, recruited the people, mobilized the people to defend the city together, accumulated stones and rolling wood, and built Datong City into a solid one.

Huang Taiji could see that Datong City was not easy to fight, so he wrote a letter and ordered someone to shoot into the city to Cao Wenzhao, which read: "My Xingshi does not want to take the dragon position to win the world." Now I rely on each other openly and sincerely, and the people of my small country hope that the two countries will be reconciled, that they will have abundant goods, that they will trade with each other, and that they will hunt and release eagles in peace, so that they can enjoy peace forever. I will remain here for 10 days, waiting for a reply, without delay. ”

Of course, Cao Wenzhao knew that if he negotiated peace, he would inevitably have to cede land and pay compensation, and of course he did not dare to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji privately, so he only ignored the letter.

Huang Taiji saw that the fortified city of Datong was difficult to break, and was about to retreat from the siege, when he suddenly heard a report: Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Ningyuan, and You Shiwei, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, led 20,000 Ming troops to aid Datong, of which Wu Xiang broke through alone with 6,000 soldiers and horses, only 50 miles away from Datong City.

For Huang Taiji, this was another opportunity to weaken the strength of the Ming army.

As a result, Huang Taiji personally led the elite of 8,000 Zhenghuang Banners to meet Wu Xiangbu.

Wu Xiang is Wu Sangui's father, who was admitted to the Wujin Shi, relied on Gao Qiqian and Zu Dashou, let Wu Sangui worship Gao Qiqian as his godfather, and married Zu Dashou's sister as his wife.

During the rebellion of Kong Youde, Zhu Youzhen ordered Gao Qiqian and Zu Dabi to enter Shandong to suppress, Gao Qiqian took the opportunity to intercede for Wu Xiang, Zhu Youzhen ordered him to make meritorious contributions, and Gao Qiqian helped him remember a lot of military exploits during the Battle of Dengzhou, and was finally restored to the post of chief military officer.

This time to aid Xuanda, he did not listen to the persuasion of Jiao Yuanqing, the governor of Xuanfu, and others, and Gao Qiqian threw away You Shiwei, and marched alone, wanting to be the first to solve the siege of Datong, but before he arrived in Datong, he ran into Huang Taiji head-on.

The ending can be imagined, Wu Xiang and Gao Qiqian are not Huang Taiji's opponents at all, they were defeated in a battle, and they were defeated for dozens of miles.

Fortunately, You Shiwei led the army to arrive in time, and set up camp in Lulu Mountain to block Huang Taiji's pursuers, Wu Xiang and Gao Qiqian, and his son Wu Sangui escaped the pursuers.

Huang Taiji saw that You Shiwei's camp was tight and the formation was appropriate, and he was unwilling to lose his troops and fight hard.

But now there is You Shiwei in front of you, and Cao Wenzhao in Datong City in the back, it is very easy to fall into the situation of being attacked on both sides, so Huang Taiji gave up Datong City and Huairen, and gathered his troops and horses to go to Shuozhou.

He wanted to join Shuozhou with Daishan and Dege, and then attack Ningwu Pass, pacify Lou Fu, and destroy Qinchuan.

When there were still 100 miles away from Shanyin County, Huang Taiji suddenly received an urgent report: Lazhangjing Laosa, the Red Banner Jialazhang, encountered a strong enemy, defeated Mayi City, 1,500 bannermen were almost killed and wounded, Laosa, Dayana and other generals were nowhere to be found, less than 200 bannermen were able to escape, and 1,000 Mongolian cavalry also suffered heavy losses.

According to Laussa's speculation, the strong enemy on that road is very likely to be Lou Fu Qin Chuan.

After the emergency report arrived, the Zhenghuang Banner and the Yellow Flag were in an uproar, almost all the bannermen were discussing, and the generals were even more angry, and they all asked Huang Taiji for war, vowing to take the opportunity to destroy Qin Chuan.

Huang Taiji's face remained unchanged, he only waved his hand to calm down the generals, and then ordered people to quickly pass the message on behalf of the good, and ordered the good not to advance alone, and when his army arrived, they would march together.

The army had been on the march for another day, and suddenly another fast horse came in front of them.

After this emergency report reached Huang Taiji's hands, Huang Taiji's teeth tightened, his face instantly became very ugly, and he couldn't help but snort heavily.

It was rare for him to be so angry, and the many generals next to him couldn't help but be silent, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.

Huang Taiji inhaled a few breaths, and after his face softened slightly, he said: "Wanyan Yechen was also defeated, nearly 4,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and less than 20% of the survivors were escaped. ”

Hearing these words, the generals present changed color.

"This time, it was also Qin Chuan's doing."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a touch of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Yanguli on the side was annoyed: "The surnamed Qin has fought against the Great Khan three times and five times, Ah Shan and Turushh of the Qingshui River, Lou Fu's Aobai, not long ago Laosa, and now there is Wanyan Yechen's department, there are tens of thousands of warriors of the Dajin Kingdom who died in his hands, if this thief is not removed, my Dajin Kingdom ......"

As he spoke, Yanguli suddenly noticed that Turai next to him was glaring at him, and he hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to say any more.

Because, Huang Taiji's face became ugly again.

"Humph!"

Huang Taiji snorted angrily again, and said word by word: "If this thief is not removed, my Dajin Kingdom will never have peace!" ”

"Go and tell Derge to give up the villages and towns along the way, come to the convergence as soon as possible, and prepare to attack Ningwu Pass together."

"Scum!"

……

Mayi City, Zhixian Yamen.

Cao Jue took dozens of soldiers and stood in front of the lobby of the prefect's yamen.

"Cao Jue, are you ...... Are you going to rebel? ”

Zhixian Liu Wenyuan's face turned blue with anger, and he asked in a trembling voice.

Cao Jue hugged his fists and saluted: "Lord Liu, Cao's saliva has been exhausted, and it is really helpless to make this decision, please immediately pack up the paperwork and go to Shuozhou City with Cao." ”

"Don't you know that those who fall into the city are going to die?"

Cao naturally knew that in Cao's view, the so-called city was just the people, and Cao defending the people was defending the city. Moreover, the city of Mayi is small, and the defenders of Shuozhou are insufficient, if the Jiannu army arrives, these two cities will be difficult to resist, but if the army and people of Mayi are moved to Shuozhou, there will be both a strong city to defend and enough troops to be available, so that Shuozhou and the people can be protected."

"You...... Fallacy! This is a fallacy! As a general, the duty is to protect the court from losing an inch of land, if you give up the horse......"

"Lord Liu, the people in the city have begun to move to Shuozhou under the escort of Cao's soldiers and horses, you only have one hour, and after an hour, if the adults are still obsessed, Cao will not be accompanied."

After that, Cao Jue turned around and left with his own soldiers.

"You ......"

Liu Wenyuan was so angry that he trembled.

"This official sees that you have been bewitched by Qin Revelry, do you want to rebel against him?"

"General Qin is charging outside, bravely killing the enemy, protecting the land and saving the people, if he is a traitor, then what are we?" Cao Jue's voice came from far away.

"You...... You ......"

Liu Wenyuan was so angry that he stomped his feet again.

At this time, his military advisor came over and said cautiously: "My lord, otherwise, let's quickly pack up our things and go to Shuozhou to avoid it." ”

"You ......"
