Sanhe belongs to the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu, 60 miles away from the capital, because the place is close to the Xun River, Baoqiu River, Lu River three waters, so it is named, the territory is adjacent to Tongzhou in the west, there are more Chaobai River, North Canal, Liangshui River and other water systems, it is a rare fertile land of water and soil in Gyeonggi, it is early summer at this time, although the weather is cold, the green grass is lush in its territory, the grass and trees are luxuriant, but recently because of the Tatar into the customs rarely seen people.

When the sun sets, on the bank of the Grand Canal in Xianghe County, southeast of Tongzhou, a group of people and horses are camping and resting, here is the bend and fork of the North Canal, the irrigation of several rivers makes the surrounding trees lush and extremely remote and hidden, and there are few villages around, even if there are, they are empty.

Li Yan stood under a tree by the river and looked at the sunset in a daze, in the past few days, he galloped north from hundreds of miles away to Daxing, when he was ordered to come to the east, he was already exhausted, like a soldier under his command.

"General, I have found out that General Zhou's soldiers are camped in the Luhe River, more than ten miles southeast of Sanhe County, and they are more than sixty miles away from us," Qin Songwang, the general of the department, walked behind him and said softly.

Li Yang snorted, bent down and picked up a branch and pulled it on the ground, Sanhe is in the east of the capital, Xianghe is in the southeast, Daxing is in the south, the little overseer is repeating the old trick, and he wants to surround the Qing army within a radius of nearly 100 miles like besieging thieves in Baoding Mansion.

"Why is there only the southeast but the northwest is empty" The general Gao Qi frowned and asked, Li Yan glanced at him: "I'm afraid that the north has been plundered by the Tartars, and the three rivers are not far north of Jizhen, where the Great Wall is located, there is a Great Wall checkpoint over there, and it is difficult for the Qing cavalry to enter, and the mountains of Juyongguan to the west of the capital have nothing to grab, so as long as the little overseer seals the southeast and the Tartars in the west do not go, there is only where to get in and get out from where to get out."

Gao Qi sighed and stretched his waist: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, we have to hurry up and take a rest, I don't know when the Tartar will run over."

Li Yan nodded: "It stands to reason that the Tartar cavalry is fast, if it is mainly based on plunder, it will be here at this time, but there is no ghost shadow at the moment, and it is very likely that the little overseer will use a trick to drag it to buy time for us."

"The little overseer's ability is great, tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry, he said that he dragged it and dragged it, I really don't know what method he can use" Qin Songwang and Gao Qi were both curious.

Li Yan pondered for a while and sighed: "I'm afraid I'm going to lead the Tartars to attack the capital."

Yes! The two were shocked and attacked the capital, that ......

Li Yan smiled slightly: "The capital is empty, there are no soldiers, no generals, if there is no little overseer in the town, the unsuccessful people in the Beijing camp are afraid that they will be scared to surrender the city if they don't fight, but now there is a small overseer in the capital, I am afraid that people will be brave but can be brave, with the high walls of the capital city and the thick walls of the capital, and the Tartars have no weight to break the city and undoubtedly ascend to the sky."

Therefore, once the Tartars attack the city is unfavorable, they will immediately plunder in all directions, and I am afraid that they will reach the ground in a few days, and all the generals will come to their senses.

But no, Li Yan's eyes were full of murderous anger: "In the battle outside the gate, the Tartars are nothing more than that, but they have achieved the reputation of my righteous teacher, but you also know in your heart that it is just stained with the light of the little overseer, although the previous bandits said that we also played the prestige of the righteous army, but it really needs to work hard to make it worthy of your name, and you should do your best to resist external humiliation!" ”

"The last general is willing to go to the soup with the general, kill the enemy, serve the country, and promote the prestige of our righteous army!" Qin Songwang and other generals clenched their fists and roared angrily, startling a group of river birds, and some soldiers took the opportunity to shoot them with bows and leave them for dinner.

On the bank of the Lu River, Zhou Yuji's face was solemn and his subordinates were also deploying the war, but he was not as optimistic as Li Yan, because he knew that the first thing to bear the brunt of the Tartar Zi going east would be his men, and he would only touch Li Yan when he went south.

It was a few years ago to fight the Tartars, in recent years, he has mostly led troops to suppress bandits in the introspection, the thieves are cunning and the Tartars are fierce, which makes him mentally drumming, he only has more than 10,000 troops and only a third of them are cavalry, can he block the frontal blow of the Tartars.

Since the little overseer has arranged this way, there must be a backhand, Zhou Yuji thought that Chang Yu left all the cavalry of Jin Wuwei and Teng Xiangwei in Daxing, which must be important, and it is very likely that he and Li Yan's men and horses are only for the purpose of waving flags to cheer and intimidate, and those cavalry are the main force.

It turned out that the little overseer was going to draw a circle to enclose the Tartars, and then use cavalry against the cavalry and the Tartars in this circle! Zhou Yuji realized, and his heart was even more uneasy.

Have you done it? The cavalry of the Tartars is fierce and abnormal, although Jin Wuwei and Teng Xiangwei have made great achievements recently, they are afraid that they will be slightly inferior when they are pulled out, and at present, the only thing that Da Ming can do with the Tartar cavalry is Wu Sangui's iron cavalry.

It's just that I think about it so many headaches, this kind of brain-based thing should be left to that kid, I just listen to the situation, and after learning that Li Yan is already in place, Zhou Yuji ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and sent several units of scouts to the west to secretly investigate.

At the same time, at the head of Shunyi City in Jingbei, Tang Tong was looking at the wilderness south of the city with a grass root in his mouth, and he could vaguely see the figure of a horse galloping, unable to tell whether it was a Tartar or his own person, but fell into deep thought.

What happened in the capital, he had already learned from the defenders in the city that Wu Mengming had come a few days ago, and as soon as the front foot left, the Tartar army on the back foot reached the north of the city, and at the same time, there were thousands of Ming troops several miles away from the south of the city.

It's just that the Ming army quickly withdrew, and the Tartars couldn't go south to the capital, and it didn't take long for the Tartars of Pinggu to withdraw to the capital.

Tang Tong racked his brains and couldn't figure out the situation in the capital, so he had to send it to the scouts to bring him some useful news, and at the same time, there was also a person at the head of Changping City, who went out of the city to meditate, but it was Ma Ke.

One of the eight general soldiers who once participated in the Songjin War, he was once brave and good at fighting, daring to fight, and dared to fight, second only to Cao Bianjiao's Daming fierce general Ma Ke!

It's just that it's all in the past, the Songjin War Ming elite was lost, the bigwigs who participated in the war either surrendered or died in battle, Ma Ke made meritorious service for running away, and then fought the Qing soldiers and was defeated, last year he was ordered to lead the troops into the defense of the capital, Ma Zongbing is still the Ma Zongbing, but Ma Ke is no longer like the Ma Ke of the year, and there is no shadow under the defeat and no more pride and courage of the year.

In history, Ma Ke and Chongzhen first surrendered to the thieves in 17 years, and then fought Zhang Xianzhong, and then surrendered to the Qing army, and then disappeared.

Although the pride is not as good as back then, but a few days ago, the first time the Tartars entered the customs, he was immediately ordered to lead the troops to go after hearing the news, but he went halfway to learn that the Tartars had occupied Miyun, and sent troops to the west to break Yanqing, and approached Changping.

Although he is unwilling but helpless, who calls Gyeonggi empty at this time, how can he turn the tide in the face of tens of thousands of Qing troops with his own men, even the little eunuch who was blown into a god can only sigh to the sky.

Who knows, but there is really news that the little eunuch actually returned to King Qinwang in Beijing as soon as possible, but only stayed for more than a thousand people, Ma Ke felt funny, it was not enough to stuff the Tartar between his teeth, which is the King of Qin, give away the head.

Who knew that the next words of the spy surprised him, after the little eunuch returned to Beijing, he had already gone out of the city to fight the Tartars, and even once organized a death squad to attack the Tartar camp at night, killing countless enemies and setting fire to the Tartar camp!

So awesome! This is very the style of Lao Tzu back then, Ma Ke felt his blood boiling, but it was soon cold and biting, and he was still alone in the, and a small fight could not affect the overall situation.

However, he was soon dumbfounded again, and Azig, who had chased down the city and threatened not to leave the chickens and dogs, suddenly led his troops to leave, and the scouts here inquired that the Tartars were going to attack the capital!

What the hell! Ma Ke was shocked, and quickly reacted that things would not be so simple, Tartar is not so stupid to gnaw hard bones, there must be a reason, could it be that the little eunuch did something again?

Is he really that godly? Ma Ke began to become more and more curious about Chang Yu.
