After Emperor Chongzhen woke up the next morning, he felt full of energy, and his luck should not be wrong, so he entered the chat group and prepared to add people.

But as soon as he entered the chat group, he saw a private chat sent by Lu Ruipeng, the commander of Dongchang: "Your Majesty, the night sent by Hong Zhongcheng to the grassland does not collect returns, saying that Lin Dan Khan's army is outside, and the Naturalization City was attacked and occupied by thieves, and now Lin Dan Khan has returned to the army, and the two sides are fighting, and it is still in a stalemate!" ”

As soon as he saw the news, Emperor Chongzhen immediately forgot about the addition of people. He immediately thought of the news that Hong Chengchou had sent back before, saying that Lin Dan Khan was committing a border in Ningxia. From the point of view of time, there is indeed this possibility, when Lin Dan Khan happened to lead the army west to chase the king of Shunyi, the five thousand thief cavalry fled to the grassland and stole the empty Guihua City.

On one side is the thief, and on the other side is Lin Dan Khan's army, well fought! The Han people are good at defending, and the Mongols are not good at attacking cities, so it's best that they can consume it like that, and finally consume it together!

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile when he thought of this possibility, and then shook his head, how could there be such a good thing in the world. On the contrary, he was a little worried, so he asked Lu Ruipeng: "What does Hong Zhongcheng think about this, will the thief and Lin Danhan compromise with each other?" ”

The worst-case scenario must be taken into account. Hong Chengchou, as the governor of Yansui, his opinion has important reference significance!

After waiting for a while, he saw Lu Ruipeng reply: "Hong Zhongcheng thinks that the current military information is still small, and it is impossible to make an accurate estimate. However, there is a greater possibility that if Lin Dan Khan and the thief stalemate for a long time, if both sides do not see the hope of defeating the opponent, there is a possibility of compromising with each other! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the reply, he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

From a human point of view, it seems that this is indeed possible, and the probability of it happening is not small. After all, the thieves have the Naturalization City to rely on, and although the number is small, they are trying to survive, and they will be desperate. Although Lin Dan Khan's subordinates were numerous, they only lost face, and they did not reach the point of life and death because of the loss of Naturalization City.

Now the question is to see how much food there is in the city of naturalization. If you don't eat it, it is estimated that you will soon be able to tell the winner; And if there is food, it is likely to be consumed when Lin Danhan can no longer care about face.

After Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, he chatted with Lu Ruipeng privately: "Then Hong Zhongcheng thinks that it is better for me to deal with it?" ”

After waiting for a while, Lu Ruipeng relayed Hong Chengchou's opinion and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Hong Zhongcheng thinks that I, Daming, should gather the army as soon as possible and make a thunderous blow at the most favorable time to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”

After a pause, Lu Ruipeng relayed: "But this most favorable time is difficult to grasp. If the night sent out does not collect too much, so that Lin Dan Khan finds that my Da Ming is peeping on the side, I am afraid that he will quickly reach a settlement with the thief; And if the night of the dispatch is not less, it will be difficult to find out the accurate military situation, and it will be impossible to grasp the best time! ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to it and thought about it, this opportunity is really not easy to grasp! Thinking about it like this, he regretted it a little, he should have let Zhang Xianzhong take Zhang Dingguo to escape to the grassland with the thieves. In this way, if there is a person in the chat group in the Naturalization City, wouldn't he know everything about the war, and even do something else, maybe he could get the best results and win the most fertile Hetao Plain in the Yellow River in one fell swoop!

However, it was useless to regret at this time, Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued an order, asking Hong Chengchou to immediately mobilize the surrounding people, transfer the elite, and wait for the opportunity.

On the Datong side, Ma Xianglin and his wife were originally there. Later, after Wu Sangui arrived, the couple returned to Sichuan Shizhu, and it was estimated that they would soon return to Sichuan at this time.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, so he had to contact the little kid Zhang Dingguo and said: "You inform Xue Ge Lao and ask him to send someone to send an order to Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, to immediately transfer the elite of Jindi and prepare to fight on the grassland at any time!" ”

"Oh, okay." After Zhang Dingguo answered, after a while, probably after conveying the news, he replied to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, who are you going to fight in the grassland?" Mongolian Tartar or Righteous ...... An army of thieves? ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought it was Xue Guoguan who asked, so he replied: "The Mongol Tartars and the thieves are fighting for the Naturalization City, it is best to destroy them all together!" ”

"Your Majesty, those ...... The thieves...... The Thieves ......"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked Zhang Dingguo: "Is it what you want to ask?" If you have a question, just ask, don't ramble! ”

With his encouragement, Zhang Dingguo immediately replied: "Your Majesty, many of the thieves are forced to do so, if Xue Ge Lao had been allowed to do this last year, they would not have rebelled." Can...... Can you give them a chance too? ”

Emperor Chongzhen was silent when he heard this, he was sure that if it was Zhang Xianzhong who was talking, he would definitely not dare to make this request. I didn't expect Zhang Dingguo to be only eleven years old, and he has been in the thief army for a long time, but he still maintains a heart of compassion, which is really rare!

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen replied to him: "If those thieves can change their minds and stop being evil, as long as there are no major bad deeds, I can consider pardoning them." It's just that now they are surrounded in the city of naturalization, and they can't communicate with each other. I don't know who has this heart, and which people are bent on going their own way, so there's no way around it! ”

Although the object of the speech was just a little child, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he should be treated solemnly for his heart. Therefore, his words are not perfunctory.

When Zhang Dingguo heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, and immediately suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, you are not the leader of the chat group, can you add people?" If you add more people, you might be able to add them, and then you will be able to get in touch! ”

"......" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it, thinking in his heart, what do you little kid know? The addition of people in this chat group is added randomly, so many people in the Ming Dynasty, can be randomly added to one of the five thousand thieves, this probability is negligibly low, okay? Not to mention that this chat group can also add foreigners, if it is based on the entire earth, it is even less likely to be added to one of those thieves!

Zhang Dingguo saw that Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, so he was a little anxious, and seemed to forget that it was Emperor Daming who was talking to him, so he urged again: "Your Majesty, add someone to take a look, maybe you will add it!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen felt the urgency in his heart, and couldn't help but think: Yes, just follow the child's wish, add someone to try, anyway, it's just a person, and you won't get pregnant!
