The Imperial City of the Imperial Division!

In the imperial study, Chongzhen's hearty laughter spread throughout the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside were all facing each other, and they really didn't understand why the emperor was laughing so crazy?

Wu Chengen was by Chongzhen's side at the moment, and seeing how happy he was, Wu Chengen's face couldn't help but show a deep smile.

This time, the Houjin army was led to Shandong, which was very smooth, especially Lu Xiangsheng did a good job this time, and cooperated seamlessly with the defenders in Shandong. The iron cavalry of the Houjin passed directly through Hejian Mansion and Jinan Mansion, and after entering the Yunzhou Mansion, the Houjin army lost the trace of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

In a fit of rage, the Houjin army launched a brutal robbery and revenge in Yunzhou Mansion. And the richness of Yunzhou Mansion greatly surprised them, originally they just wanted to rob and quickly withdraw their troops, but they didn't expect to gain too much, and these Houjin chasers immediately became greedy.

Without doing anything, he simply went on a killing spree in Yunzhou Mansion, and was killed by the Dongjiang Army escorting the people in the middle of more than 200 companions. This made the Houjin pursuers even more angry, although they were very puzzled by the strength of these small groups of troops that suddenly appeared, but the Houjin pursuers still didn't pay attention to it, and they went on a killing spree in Yunzhou Mansion.

Wu Chengen arched his hand and smiled at Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it is reported that now the capital city of Yunzhou has been completely surrounded by the pursuing soldiers of Houjin. Although the Dongjiang army resisted stubbornly, it was directly killed by the Houjin pursuers in the case of being unprepared before, and now the defenders of Yunzhou Mansion are less than 5,000. ”

Chongzhen had already put away the smile on his face, and he snorted coldly: "It's less than five thousand, right, it's best if the Yunzhou Mansion City is breached, as long as the Dongjiang Army withdraws, it will be a good time for our army to advance." ”

Wu Chengen hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that this is a little inappropriate. ”

Chongzhen glanced at Wu Chengen and said coldly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, although the Yunzhou Mansion is in an emergency at present, Mao Wenlong's real strength is not damaged, in the final analysis, he is only a few thousand soldiers and horses lost before. Moreover, these thousands of soldiers and horses may also have elements of false reporting, so after Mao Wenlong learned that there was a danger in Yunzhou Mansion, he would immediately send troops to reinforce him. Wu Chengen cautiously probed Chongzhen's expression as he spoke, for fear that he would suddenly become angry again.

Fortunately, Chongzhen did not get angry, but frowned and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Are you saying that the capital city of Yunzhou will not be breached, and we still can't take advantage of the chaos to recover Shandong?" ”

Wu Chengen nodded and said: "Exactly, after all, Houjin only came with 30,000 chasing soldiers this time, and he is not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army at all." ”

Chongzhen sighed lightly and said: "Such a good opportunity to see that Shandong is about to be recovered, so I can't swallow this breath when I give up like this." ”

This time, the purpose of leading the Houjin pursuers to Shandong, Chongzhen's purpose was to hope that he could use the Houjin to repel Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army. Houjin's pursuers naturally did not dare to occupy Shandong at this time, so they would inevitably leave quickly after a catastrophe.

At this time, Shandong, which had been completely emptied, was an excellent time for the imperial court to recover. Moreover, now that Lu Xiangsheng is already lurking in Shandong, as long as the time is ripe, he can send troops to take back Shandong smoothly.

Unfortunately, according to the current situation, everything that happened does not seem to have developed as Chongzhen thought.

Wu Chengen knew that Shandong was a wound in the emperor's heart, and Shanxi could no longer be recovered, and only one Shandong could be counted on at present. But when it was about to be successfully completed, such a change occurred, and it was indeed the end of the day.

"Your Majesty, why don't we continue to act according to the plan, and just let Governor Lu stay still for the time being, and then define it after observing the situation clearly?" Wu Chengen had no choice but to come up with this compromise method to temporarily stabilize Chongzhen's mood.

As for how the future will develop, in fact, there is no need to wait, you can think with your toes that Mao Wenlong will definitely send troops to Yunzhou Capital City for reinforcements as soon as possible.

"Well, that's all there is to it. By the way, what's the situation in Datong now? Chongzhen temporarily held back his thoughts about Shandong, and then remembered that Datong Mansion was still in danger.

Wu Chengen frowned, and said not optimistically: "Datong Mansion is still safe for the time being, after all, we have already arranged a lot of guards in Datong, and it is not easy for Houjin to attack Datong." It's just that our food and grass are still insufficient, and if this stalemate lasts for a long time, something will inevitably happen in the army. Now I can only hope that Houjin will not stay in the gate for too long, and as usual, he will retreat after a catastrophe. ”

After Chongzhen heard this, he already understood that this was the most optimistic view, this time the Houjin army suddenly broke through the pass, and he could think with his ass that Huang Taiji would not give up easily, and he finally fought down Jiayu Pass.

Once Huang Taiji left his troops in Jiayuguan, then the imperial court seemed to open the door to his Houjin. If Huang Taiji wants to come to Daming in the future, he can go straight at any time. Imagine that in such a situation, who would be stupid enough to give up Jiayuguan?

"In any case, we must drive Huang Taiji out of the customs as soon as possible. Haven't Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses arrived yet? It's been almost half a month. Chongzhen was slightly depressed in his heart.

Wu Sangui promised to send 30,000 troops to Jiayuguan for reinforcements, but he heard that it had been half a month since the soldiers and horses set off, but he still did not hear the news of the arrival of the army. Chongzhen had to wonder at the moment, was Wu Sangui fooling himself?

Wu Chengen obviously knew the inside story, and he said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the soldiers and horses sent by Wu Sangui have arrived, but before they arrived, Jiayuguan had been occupied by Houjin. After learning of the situation, Wu Sangui ordered the reinforced army to divert to Datong to join our army. Counting the days, this meeting should have arrived in Datong. ”

Hearing this, the expression on Chongzhen's face softened slightly, however, Wu Chengen continued: "It's just that the more soldiers and horses there are now, the more disadvantageous it is for us, after all, our grain and grass have been seriously short before. This will add another 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the burden will be even worse. ”

Chongzhen was not worried about this, he suddenly said in a fierce voice: "As a last resort, I had to cut the meat from Mao Wenlong's body." Cheng En immediately passed on my will and ordered Lu Xiangsheng to seize the grain and grass on Mao Wenlong's territory when he stayed in Shandong. We can't just get cheap Houjin, rather than the things of Yunzhou Mansion being robbed by them, it is better to fall into our hands. ”

Wu Chengen was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Chongzhen to say these words at all. Although he was very surprised, he didn't have any intention of refutating, and after agreeing, Wu Chengen immediately stepped back to do something.
