Since he was a teenager, he has followed the old slave Slave Hachi to fight in the east and west, and in the south and north, and has experienced more than 100 battles of all sizes, and he has never been so embarrassed and disgraced like this time.

But the overall situation suddenly collapsed like this, even if he had 10,000 unwillingness in his heart, he could only swallow the bitter fruit, and he could not help it.

It was not until Huang Taiji successfully entered Kuku and Tun again, and finally had another city to hold, and a foothold that was enough to resist the wind and snow and the pursuit of the Ming army, that Tiancong Khan, the Houjin State Tiancong Khan, who had been delusional in his life, to conquer the Ming Dynasty and a single universe, could be regarded as truly relieved and could sleep peacefully.

On the second day after Huang Taiji returned to Kuku and Tun, he hurriedly sent a team of men to the west and a team to the south.

The one who led the team to the west was the Zhun Tower.

This man was the son of Huerhan, one of the five ministers of the Nur Hachi era.

Now that the ministers and generals around Huang Taiji have suffered heavy casualties, the Zhun Tower, which is usually inconspicuous by Huang Taiji's side, has finally emerged and begun to take on heavy responsibilities.

Huang Taiji asked Zhunta to take a Niu Lu's Zhenghuang Banner Jurchen armored man all the way west to find Abatai, and ordered Abatai, Li Yongfang and others to let Lin Dan Khan go for the time being, and quickly led the army back east.

The other team of men and horses to the south was led by a Niu Lu Ezhen Ukuli of Zhenghuang Banner to kill Hu Kounei and order the withdrawal of troops.

After arranging these urgent tasks, Huang Taiji, who had been marching and fighting for several months, was extremely tired, and temporarily waited for the withdrawal of the armies in Kuku and Tuncheng while recuperating his body.

However, before he could recover his body and mental state in Kuku and Tun, one bigger blow after another followed.

Let's say that Li Banghua, the minister of military aircraft, Pingyang Bo, has been going to Shanxi to supervise and suppress bandits since the beginning of the year with most of the people from the mine camp recruited and trained in Baiye City when he was the secretary of the Ministry of Workers, and spring has gone to autumn and winter, and now it has been almost a year.

Since he is in Shanxi, he can't manage so much about the affairs of the court.

Emperor Chongzhen's various actions were always delayed for a month or two before they were introduced to Shanxi, and he was unable to manage it even if he wanted to.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition, of course, Li Banghua is strongly opposed, not to mention that the identity of Emperor Chongzhen should not take such a risk, just say that he Li Banghua is in Taiyuan, close at hand, should let him be the prime minister to defend against the enemy!

It's a pity that Taiyuan City is still a little farther away from Jingshi, where is Juyongguan closer to Jingshi?

Therefore, when he objected to Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition and sent it to Beijing, the emperor himself had already set off from the Luhewan camp in Tongzhou with the first town of the Guards.

By the time his opposition to the emperor's pro-conquest passed through the hands of the Jingshi General Political Division, the cabinet and the empress, and then sent to Juyong Pass to be in the military aircraft, the war in Juyong Pass was already on the verge of breaking out, and his opposition to the pro-conquest was meaningless.

Although Li Banghua opposed the emperor's personal expedition, when the emperor's imperial drive had already arrived at Juyong Pass and ordered him to immediately command the Shanxi army and wait for an opportunity to attack north from Yanmen Pass, he still did not hesitate to carry out the emperor's order.

The biggest difference between a good subordinate and a bad subordinate is that even if a good subordinate opposes your decision, as long as your decision is made and cannot be changed, he will choose to obey and carry it out.

A poor subordinate, faced with a decision that does not suit his wishes, will passively confront or even pick on his son.

Worse can lead to stumbling and stumbling through the cracks, allowing you to make undesirable decisions that end up being shelved or frustrated.

And Li Banghua, a figure who withstood the test of history at the moment of his death, is a good subordinate.

In other words, I am against your decision, but when you make a decision, whether it is in my heart or not, I will implement your decision to the letter.

On the morning of November 23 of the second year of Chongzhen, that is, the morning of the second day after Emperor Chongzhen's order to go out of the pass to counterattack the enemy in Datong reached Yanmen Pass, Li Banghua, the old minister of military aircraft of Pingyang, took 1,500 people from the mining camp Lu Yuanding and 12,000 people from the Liang Department of the Kingdom of Shanxi Town, who had made great achievements on the battlefield of suppressing thieves, to the north out of Yanmen Pass and went straight to Mayi.

At the same time, Li Banghua ordered Sun Chuanting, the governor of Yansui, who had reached Wuguan in Ning, and He Shiyu, the general of Yansui, who had led 5,000 cavalry, to immediately lead the cavalry north and attack Shuozhou with him.

On the evening of November 23, Li Banghua and Wang Guoliang led their troops into the small city of Mayi, where the city was dilapidated and empty.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu led 5,000 Yansui cavalry under their command and also rushed to Shuozhou that night.

Wu Basheng, the confidant of Huang Taiji, and Mu Ketan, the henchmen of Huang Taiji, who were ordered to stay in Shuozhou City, were both veterans of the southern and northern wars during the old slave period, and the appearance of Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu made the two immediately smell the danger.

At this time, Wu Basheng, Mu Ketan and others had also lost contact with the Jianlu and Mongol armies in the direction of Datong and Xuanfu for two days.

Wu Basheng, Mu Ketan, Erke Chuhuer and others, who were alerted to the dangerous atmosphere, hurriedly ordered the whole army to pack up overnight, carry and load the huge gold and silver wealth obtained by slaughtering the people and looting the surrounding cities since entering the customs, especially since the occupation of Shuozhou, and properly arrange and distribute the large number of people and livestock that were also prepared to be taken away.

Early in the morning of November 24, the west gate of Shuozhou City suddenly opened, and Mu Ketan led the ten Zhenghuang Banner Niulu cavalry who stayed in Shuozhou City to leave the city from the west gate first, and fought with the main forces of Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu, who rushed to hear the news.

As soon as the battle outside the west gate began, the north gate of Shuozhou City suddenly opened again, and Wu Basheng, the minister in charge of the Yellow Banner of Jianyuzheng, took Erke Chuhuer and more than 7,000 Mongolian cavalry under his command to escort a large number of horse-drawn carts and people and livestock out of the city quickly to the north.

Liu Honglie, the deputy general who was ordered to stay here at the north gate with more than 1,000 cavalry just in case, couldn't resist for a while, so he could only chase while fighting, intercept well, and soon turned into a pursuit.

Liu Honglie was seriously injured and comatose in the frontline battle of Shanxi thieves, and was taken into Jingle City by Sun Chuanting to recuperate, and after Fu Shan's continuous acupuncture treatment, he finally woke up two months later, and now after several months of recuperation, he has almost recovered.

Although the tall and strong man in the past is now as thin as a hemp pole, he can already pick up arms and fight again.

And Fu Shan, who healed Liu Honglie, a fierce general in Sun Chuanting's army, was also in contact with Sun Chuanting and others, and was appreciated and valued by Sun Chuanting.

And after the school system of the martial arts hall was changed to two years in the fall of this year, he was recommended by Sun Chuanting to enter the Huangming Lecture Martial Arts Hall, gave up literature and followed martial arts, and became the fourth student of the Huangming Zhongyi Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

After Liu Honglie was healed from serious injuries, although he was still very brave, but as the so-called Qiao woman was difficult to cook without rice, more than 1,000 Yansui cavalry faced more than 7,000 Mongolian cavalry, as well as countless carriages and a large number of young and strong people who were driven to the surge.

In this way, Wu Basheng and Erke Chuhuer took more than 7,000 Mongolian cavalry, as well as a vast fleet of vehicles, and went north under the cover and broken back of Muktanzheng's Yellow Banner cavalry.

Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu were in a hurry, they could neither break through the blockade of Muktan's department, nor get rid of the entanglement of Muketan's department, so they could only bite this force of Jianyu and the Mongolian brigade all the way and pursue them all the way to the north.

Fortunately, at noon on the same day, Ding Qirui, the commander of Datong, who had disappeared into the mountains of Datong West Road for a long time, suddenly appeared in the area of the Pingyu Acropolis with a large number of Ming soldiers and soldiers on Datong West Road, and blocked the headquarters of Wu Basheng and Erke Chuhuer, who were about to lead the army into the valley area at the eastern foot of Guanshui Mountain, at the entrance of the valley.

Shuoping City, where the right guard of Datong is located, is in the northern basin of this long mountain valley, and once Wu Basheng and others lead a large group of men and horses into the valley, it is basically equivalent to temporarily getting rid of the fate of encirclement and interception.

As long as Muktan led the army to break off, the brigade in front of him would be safe.

But this plan, which had been planned for a long time, fell through because of the arrival of a large number of guards on Datong West Road led by Ding Qirui.
