Chapter 652: Hesitation
Liu Xingzhi guessed the emperor's mind with his own cleverness, and he did not guess wrong.
Now this Emperor Chongzhen is indeed looking forward to Huang Taiji leading a large army to attack Juyong Pass.
And what he was most worried about was that the slave chief Huang Taiji suddenly retreated at this time, making all his hard work in vain.
Since Huang Taiji dared to move west to the Chahar Department in Monan, and dared to attack the idea of attacking the Ming Dynasty in the south, he must give him a lesson that he will never forget, so that he will never dare to have this idea again.
Even if Huang Taiji really only went west to conquer Har this time, and stopped at subduing the various tribes of Monan, now this Chongzhen Emperor will definitely not sit idly by and sit idly by.
Because the places where the Mongol tribes of the Southern Mongols were stationed were just outside the border walls of Datong and Xuanfu, and even included the land of the Hetao within the Yellow River.
Although these areas are not yet the heartland of the Ming Dynasty, they must not be allowed to be touched by Jianlu, because this is one of the core territories of the Chinese nation.
Especially in the Han and Tang dynasties, it was all the indisputable land of the Chinese nation, and now how can it fall into the hands of the Jurchens!
At the same time when Emperor Chongzhen was waiting for Huang Taiji to lead the army to attack Juyong Pass on the Yongsheng Tower of Juyong Pass, Huang Taiji was also repeatedly pondering the possible response of the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers.
The practice of the Yulinbao people going to the fort and the nearby area to clear the field made Huang Taiji vigilant.
At noon on November 13, Huang Taiji asked Yue Tuo to lead a large army back to Huailai City, and ordered him to sit and supervise the Mongol servant army to clean up a large number of corpses in Huailai City, so that the army could enter the city and station.
Huang Taiji himself took Darhan, Fan Wencheng and others, escorted by 5,000 elite cavalry led by Ma Zhan and Ah Shan, and continued all the way east, rushing to the foot of the Badaling Ridge outside the north entrance of the military capital before the sun set.
Huang Taiji, who rode a tall horse, came to the foot of Badaling, and the first thing that caught his eye was that in addition to the majestic and magnificent Great Wall that did not look like anything in the world, it was the town tower outside the mouth of the military capital under Badaling.
Huang Taiji took the lead in converting to Tibetan Buddhism in the Later Jin Kingdom, which is actually mainly the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, that is, the Yellow Sect.
Regardless of whether his conversion to Tibetan Buddhism was motivated by true faith or by the political need to win over the Mongol tribes, at this time, when he encountered a pagoda, he had to show his attitude.
Huang Taiji took everyone to ride a horse and walked a distance, came to the base of the tower, and suddenly saw a stone slab embedded in the tower from a dozen steps away, and took a closer look, the stone slab was engraved with several big characters of Wei Monument: "Zhenyu Tower", and there was a burst of anger in my heart at the moment.
When he looked at it again, this tower seemed to have something strange, each side of the tower body was "carved" with a whole side of the head, from a distance it looked like a common Buddha head or Arhat, but the carving or statue is so realistic, it is not seen in Liaodong or Mongolia.
Although he hated the name of this tower in his heart, Huang Taiji couldn't hold back the growing curiosity about this strange six-sided tower in his heart, and finally got off the horse and led everyone around him up the stairs.
Huang Taiji walked up the steps and was about to take a closer look, when he suddenly heard his Zhenghuang Banner Protector swinging his teeth and shouting: "Human head!" It's all heads! ”
Huang Taiji heard He Luohui's exclamation, and only then did he realize the strangeness of this tower, and then looked closely, and knocked a skull a few steps away, and the face on it was intact, it was Baturu Aliha, who had been personally received and praised by Zhenghuang under the banner.
"Aliha! This, these are the three thousand iron horsemen that Yanguli brought here! ”
Huang Taiji issued this sentence at this time, I couldn't tell whether it was anger or inquiry, but after he said this, he walked a few steps in a row, and quickly circled around the tower body of this town tower, and while walking briskly, he repeated the words he had just said:
"These are the three thousand iron horsemen that Yanguli brought here!"
The whole tower has six sides, all of which are human heads, some of which show most of their faces such as eyes and noses, and some only show the top of their heads, and the money rat tails on top of their heads are still fluttering in the cold wind.
When Huang Taiji saw this scene, he suddenly felt dizzy, and the sky spun in an instant, shouting loudly, "Smash, smash it all", while falling backwards on his back.
"Great Khan! Sweat! ”
Ah Shan and Ma Zhan, who were following Huang Taiji's side, screamed in exclamation, and at the same time reached out to catch Huang Taiji's tall and fat body, and slowly placed it on the ground, still shouting in their mouths: "Great Khan! Sweat! ”
The sudden change under the Zhenyu Tower stunned everyone around, and Darhan and Fan Wencheng hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
Fan Wencheng saw Huang Taiji's eyes closed, his face flushed, and his lips purple, and immediately shouted, "I know what's going on!" Get out of the way! ”
A kind of escort guard around Huang Taiji immediately gave way, and Fan Wencheng lost his usual taboos, and immediately approached him, stretched out his thumb and pinched Huang Taiji's people.
Seeing that Fan Wencheng was so disrespectful to the Great Khan, Ah Shan, Ma Zhan, He Luohui and others, who were supporting Huang Taiji, immediately glared angrily and shouted: "You barbarian slave! What did you do to the Great Khan! ”
Ah Shan was about to drink and order the guards behind him to push Fan Wencheng away, but suddenly heard that Huang Taiji in his arms took a long breath, followed by a violent cough, and then opened his eyes.
"Great Khan! Khan you're all right! ”
Ah Shan, Ma Zhan, Darhan, He Luohui and many other close ministers who accompanied him, saw that Huang Taiji suddenly gasped for breath, and immediately shouted excitedly.
Huang Taiji closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and said slowly, "I'm fine!" It's an old problem! Don't make a fuss! ”
After saying this, Huang Taiji closed his eyes for a while, and then said: "I'm a little dizzy, you all get out of the way, let me be quiet for a while, just rest for a while!" ”
Huang Taiji's dizziness and dizziness are actually high blood pressure in later generations.
It's just that no one knows about high blood pressure in this era, and naturally there is no way to do targeted prevention.
And Huang Taiji is tall and obese, and he has reached the point where he is not good at walking.
Long-term extravagant diet, daily meat, alcohol, high oil, high salt, lack of vegetables and fruits of the dietary characteristics, almost inevitably have such a disease.
In addition, in the past few days, I have been running around for two nights, and today I endured headache and dizziness and drove dozens of miles on horseback, and suddenly saw that the Zhenyu Tower was actually the corpse tower of my three thousand warriors, and under the mixture of anger, the dizziness intensified, and I fainted.
Fortunately, there were so many loyal guards around him, otherwise he would have fallen out of the way.
As soon as Huang Taiji said this, the guards who surrounded him in an unknown number of circles and layers left and scattered.
Only Ahsan, Majan, Darhan, and Fan Wencheng were left with him.
Huang Taiji started slowly, took a deep breath, pressed both sides of his head with both hands, and the feeling of dizziness and headache eased a little, and then said:
"Yanguli is dead, and the three thousand horsemen he led have been wiped out! It seems that this Juyong Pass must be ready for battle! My army of gold and numbers has entered the customs with me, so where should I go next? ”
After Huang Taiji said this, he pressed his head with both hands.
And after hearing this, Ahsan said, "Great Khan! Ming Guo deceived me too much! The revenge of Yanguli's forehead, the revenge of these three thousand Yellow Flag warriors cannot be avenged! ”
Speaking of this, Ah Shan suddenly knelt on his knees and said angrily: "Please give the Great Khan to the minions of five thousand warriors!" If you don't break the mediocrity barrier, the slave will never survive! ”
At this time, the younger brother of Yue Tuo, the owner of the Red Banner Banner, also knelt down and said, "The slave is also willing to attack Juyong Pass!" For Yanguli's forehead, for the Yellow Flag warriors to avenge this hatred! ”
Seeing the two people say this, Huang Taiji nodded his head in appreciation, but he didn't say anything for a long time, looking at the wolf smoke that burned on Badaling in the distance, and fell into deep thought.
Of course, Huang Taiji hopes that among the generals under his command, someone can win the Juyong Pass for him, but he knows that what Yanguli can't do, others may not be able to do it.
Especially when Yangguli's army came, his army had just entered the pass, and according to the situation of the Ming monarchs and ministers, Juyongguan should not have received reinforcements or the emperor's instructions on how to deal with it.
Under such circumstances, Yanguli, who was just as shrewd and resourceful and relied on by himself as his right-hand man, did not succeed, and was defeated and died, or the whole army was destroyed, and there must have been circumstances beyond his own knowledge.
What is the Longtan tiger's den under Juyong Pass?
Is there a trap hidden under Juyong waiting for him to jump in?
Huang Taiji's heart turned over at this time,
