Chapter 445: Interception

The time soon came to the midnight of this day, although Lin Ye was concerned about the sudden progress of the war, and wanted to know how Xiao Mu was discussing with the cabinet ministers, but after all, it was a veritable "military event", even if Lin Ye himself was a traverser, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also a traverser, but the scene of Xiao Mu's discussion with the ministers was obviously not suitable for Lin Ge to attend, even if he used his own "news channel", it was not appropriate to send Chu'er to investigate, Although the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty is leaked like a sieve everywhere, after all, it is still a major event related to the country, the vast territory of the north, and the lives of hundreds of people.

All in all, it is inappropriate for Lin Yi to take any action to try to know the progress of the war and the details of the deliberations in advance, and the only suitable way for her to know everything is to wait for Xiao Mu to finish the discussions with the ministers, and then come to herself to tell herself the latest information and the results of the deliberations - even so, it can only be achieved when Xiao Mu and Lin Ye are both traversers, if both of them are the original Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, Or if only one person is a traverser and the other person is not, then as the side of the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, there is definitely no way to know any confidential and important information, at most you can know a "war again" approximation.

Because Xiao Mu left a sentence when he left before, "If he hasn't come when he arrives, he won't have to wait", which made Lin Yi feel a little weird, because although it was now the time of the child, she always felt that if she went to sleep when she arrived, what if she just lay down and Xiao Mu came? Or if he waited for him for ten more minutes, Xiao Mu didn't come, he would have fallen asleep, what if he came in the eleventh minute?

All in all, Lin Yi's subconscious always felt that Xiao Mu would definitely come to him tonight to bring him the latest situation-not only to satisfy his confidence needs, but also to help him analyze the situation in front of him from the perspective of a future traveler.

So under such a special situation, Lin Yi actually became a little similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he was uncertain whether Xiao Mu would come, and he was hesitant about whether he wanted to go to sleep.

Fortunately, Lin Ye's ambivalence didn't last long, and finally when she was approaching, Xiao Mu managed to appear in his dormitory before she decided to go to bed.

"How's it going?" This was the first thing Lin Yi asked after seeing Xiao Mu.

"It's not going to be good." Xiao Mu frowned and replied, "The most news I received today is either which city has been lost, or which army has been defeated. ”

"Then will Huang Taiji and their men and horses hit the capital this time?" Lin Yi directly asked a most important question - not only because their two traversers were in the capital, but also because the capital was the core of the country, once the soldiers and horses of the Houjin arrived in the capital, it would be a war that would determine the fate of the country, and if there was any mistake, it could completely lead to the death of the country and the destruction of the country.

"It's hard to say this, it depends on Yuan Chonghuan and Hou Shilu and their reinforcements." Xiao Mu replied, "In addition to them, there is also the general soldier of Datong, Man Gui, who has also received the news, and has led troops to stop it, if they can stop it before Huang Taiji leads the troops to the capital, then the capital will not be attacked, otherwise, the capital will be exposed to the soldiers of Houjin, then I can only issue an edict to launch the soldiers and horses of the whole world." ”

"That is to say, you have not yet decided to issue an edict to the king of the whole country?" Lin Yi naturally heard the mystery from Xiao Mu's words.

"Yes." Xiao Mu nodded, "Except for the three-way soldiers and horses of Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui just now, the combat effectiveness of the other armies of the Ming Dynasty is very low, and I am afraid that they are not the opponents of the Houjin army." And it takes a lot of money and food to launch the national soldiers and horses, and the current situation of the Ming treasury is not optimistic, unless it is a last resort, it is undoubtedly a great price to pay a great price for the edict of the king of Qin, so that many troops with low combat effectiveness consume money and food in vain. ”

"It's still a matter of money." Lin Yi said, "But you know, although you and I don't know how Yuan Chonghuan intercepted Huang Taiji's Houjin army in the original history, but the result is obvious, that is, they were not able to intercept it successfully, in the original history of Huang Taiji's Houjin army was hit under the city of Beijing, and the original Chongzhen Emperor also issued an edict to let the national army come to King Qin." ”

"I've also considered this, but the current situation is also different from the original history, after all, Huang Taiji has just suffered a defeat on the Mongolian steppe, and his strength has suffered a lot of losses, and the combat effectiveness of the Houjin army should not be as strong as it was in the original history." Xiao Mu said that he also knew what Lin Yi had just mentioned, "And Hou Shilu's previous robbery made Huang Taiji's plan to conquer the Chahar Mongols also abandoned halfway, so although he made a detour to Mongolia to attack the Ming Dynasty this time, his retreat was not so safe, and I am afraid he would not dare to venture too deep, and the Mongols cut off his back route." ”

"What happened to the armament of the capital?" Lin Yi continued to ask, "Even Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu, and the Man Gui you just mentioned" - this time Lin Yi actually remembered the name of a person he heard for the first time, "Of course, it is best if they can successfully intercept the Houjin army and repel Huang Taiji, but if they fail to complete this goal, there should always be some preparation in the capital." ”

"The existing army in the capital is the Beijing camp, and the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp is naturally not comparable to the border army led by Yuan Chonghuan, but if Huang Taiji and they really fight, the army of the Beijing camp is no longer good, hold on for a few days, and it should be okay to hold on until the arrival of the prince's soldiers and horses from other places, right?" As a traverser, Xiao Mu also knew that the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp was weak, but he had not completely lost confidence in it, "And I only found out today that the nobles and princes I entertained before were not all wine bags and rice bags. ”
