After the starting point city swept the Jinyiwei hidden pile, it was difficult for the Jinyiwei to find out any inside information from the starting point city, and Luo Yangxing also reported this situation to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen waved his hand irritably: "How many days will Lu Xiangsheng and the general soldiers from all over the country arrive?" ”

Yang Sichang said: "Back to the emperor, according to the report from the front, Liu Ze, the chief soldier of Shandong, will be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and Lu Xiangsheng and other troops can arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow." ”

Chongzhen snorted and asked: "Yang Aiqing, now that Wang Yue seems to be unable to die, your disintegration strategy is difficult to be effective, how should the court solve the Tiance Army in the current situation?" ”

Yang Sichang also looked embarrassed, the starting point city is not big, and the number of Tiance troops is not large, but it is an alternative. According to the past achievements of the Tiance Army and Yang Sichang's observations, even if the 100,000 troops transferred by the imperial court arrived, it was estimated that it would be difficult to shake the starting point city.

However, Yang Sichang is worthy of being immersed in officialdom for many years, and he still understands the truth of Tai Chi pushers.

"Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng has trained his troops well, and he has been fighting for many years, with him as the commander, he may be able to make this miraculous achievement for the imperial court." Lu Xiangsheng has been at odds with Yang Sichang for a long time in terms of political views, so Yang Sichang pushed this problem onto Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng's loyalty and Chongzhen had no doubts, otherwise he would not have given Shang Fang the sword three times, and the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong army had been proven in the previous wars to sweep away the Liukou and resist the Qing army. Otherwise, Chongzhen would not have thought of Lu Xiangsheng at the first time when the Qing army attacked and disturbed the Beijing Division, and transferred him back with a holy decree.

So Chongzhen nodded and said: "Okay, let's take Lu Xiangsheng as the supervisor and Wang Zhixin as the supervisor, and after the armies arrive in Beijing, they will march to the starting point city and completely solve the Tiance army." ”

Chongzhen has never met with the Tiance Army, nor has he been to the starting point city, everything is a little taken for granted, maybe he is holding the possibility of what happens, and feels that as soon as the army of the imperial court arrives, the military spirit of the Tiance army will inevitably be chaotic, after all, the Tiance army is still an army within the scope of the imperial court.

Although Yang Sichang is not used to Lu Xiangsheng, but his personality is not confused, once the 100,000 troops of the imperial court collapsed in the starting point city, even if the Ming court did not collapse immediately, it had to respond to the story of Emperor Han Xian in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that if the Tiance army had a heart of disobedience, it would definitely not wait for the imperial army to encircle and suppress it, and so far it has not taken hostile actions against the Jingshi. Therefore, the minister thought that he could use the army to oppress, and the court inspired the two sides to start, or he could surrender the army without a fight. ”

The starting point city is different, the Tiance army is different, and Wang Yue is even more different, which is a precedent that has never been seen in history.

In fact, the Tiance Army wants to take down the Beijing Division, that is, to explore the bag and take things, but taking the Beijing Division is like chicken ribs.

The Tiance Army has absolute strength and completely asymmetrical combat power, so it completely ignores the military threat from the outside world, and even in previous wars, it has not done its best.

Due to logistical problems and other problems, the Tiance Army was unable to immediately expand its army in large quantities, and the time was not ripe for seizing national power. The starting point city is currently in the period of infrastructure construction, and the current focus of the starting point city is construction, not expansion.

Therefore, the immobility of the Tiance Army gave the imperial court a signal of misunderstanding, and it was always believed that the Tiance Army still had hope of fighting.

"In any case, the Tiance Army must solve it as soon as possible, and your military department must play its due role."

What Chongzhen wants is the result, the Tiance Army's army, which will threaten the safety of the Jingshi at such a moment, is entrenched at the door of his house, making him feel like a fish in his throat.

On May 12 of the tenth year of Chongzhen, all the armies arrived in Beijing, Lu Xiang ascended to the palace to see Chongzhen, Chongzhen gave Shang Fang the sword, granted him the right to cut first and then play, and Keri entered the Tiance army.

The Ming army camp outside the Jingshi Fucheng Gate, the general soldiers from all walks of life arrived, see the commander, only the chief soldier Dong Yongwen of Baoding was absent.

After Lu Xiangsheng sat down on the case, his face sank and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king of the Tiance army did not obey the king's order and openly confronted the imperial court, the emperor was furious, and he specially ordered the governor to lead the others to suppress it, I don't know if you have a good plan." ”

At this time, there were more than ten generals such as Zu Dabi of the Ning Army, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, and Liu Ze, the general soldier of Shandong, but at this time, everyone was as silent as Xu Shu entered the Cao camp.

The heart of the king of the prison army is even more stuffy, his heart is like a mirror, he understands that the starting point city is not easy to fight, and the Tiance army is not easy to provoke. But the monarch's order was embarrassing, Chongzhen sent him over to be a supervisor, and he also drove ducks to the shelves, but it was a pity that the needle factory that had been said to be made, because Wang Yue was injured and interrupted the transaction.

"What? Don't you have anything to say? Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, Lu Xiangsheng's face became more and more cold.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng had signs of seizures, Zu Dabi, who was sitting at the top, said: "Lu Duchen, it's not that I can't say it, but the Tiance Army has repeatedly defeated Jiannu and beheaded more than 100,000 people. The 100,000 troops of Jiannu are no match for him, and I am afraid that our military strength will not help. What's more, the Baoding Army has fallen to the Tiance Army again, which will have a deep impact on the military morale of all armies. ”

Even if Zu Dashou didn't advise, Zu Dabi knew that the Tiance Army was not easy to mess with, although he was known as "Zu Er's madman", he was not stupid, otherwise he would have died on the battlefield a long time ago.

At this time, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said tentatively: "Governor, why don't you ask the imperial court for instructions, and then mobilize troops from other places to help?" ”

Wang Pu is also a shrewd person, and he knows that the bone of Tiance Army is not easy to gnaw.

"You save it." The chief soldier Tang Tong glanced at Wang Pu, "Not to mention whether the imperial court can still send reinforcements now, even if the imperial court sends reinforcements, how many can fight?" ”

After the Shuai case, Lu Xiangsheng certainly knew that the most capable of fighting in the imperial court now were the Guanning Army, the Qin Army and the Tianxiong Army. The Qin army is now fighting on the front line of encircling and suppressing the Liukou, so it cannot be mobilized, and the other two armies have already done this, so it cannot be said that the support of the imperial court is not enough, and the other guards cannot be counted on at all.

Lu Xiangsheng said slowly: "I will receive the emperor's favor in the world, and as a courtier of the court, we must be loyal to the king. All the armies will get up at three o'clock tomorrow (5:45 a.m.), and after a full meal of war, they will assemble their large armies and set up the city with our troops. ”

At present, the strategic situation of the Tiance army and the Ming army is very strange, and the imperial army is only more than ten kilometers away from the starting point city, which can be said to be just a step away, and such a close strategic distance is rare in the history of war.

In fact, every move of the Ming army is under the surveillance of the Tiance Army, and twelve drones take turns to take up to conduct round-the-clock reconnaissance of the Ming army.

The regiments have been mobilized in place, more than 100 armored vehicles and nearly 200 mortars have been blocked, and all important sections of the road have been blocked. The firing range of the mortar is 5.5 kilometers, which is considered an over-the-horizon strike weapon in this era, so the Tiance army is not afraid of the sudden attack of the Ming army.

A large number of scouts sent by the Ming army were either captured or killed, so the Ming army could not get any news about the Tiance army at all.
