Looking at Chongzhen, Yang Sichang also had a secret hatred in his heart, he hated when Lu Xiangsheng didn't die but died at this time, he also hated Gao Qiqian, he absconded after losing the battle, he was really a veritable eunuch.

Yang Sichang is also very skeptical about Gao Qiqian's whereabouts, of course he will not believe that Gao Qiqian will be martyred, this may be more unreliable than letting Gao Qiqian restore some of the functions of a man. This eunuch naturally does not have the courage to die in a bloody battle, and Yang Sichang estimates that she may have the greatest surname for fear of crime. It's just that Gao Qiqian didn't show up, and Yang Sichang's series of follow-up actions against Lu Xiangsheng couldn't be used, and the bodies of the two were not found, so the matter dragged on again and again.

After hearing Chongzhen's question, Yang Sichang gritted his teeth, and had made a decision in his heart, it doesn't matter whether Gao Qiqian is dead or alive, the important thing is that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, and there should be a conclusion on this matter.

He hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, as we all know, the combat power of the Tartars is indeed stronger than that of my Daming, according to the news from the rout, Lu Xiangsheng's troops were only 30,000 when the giant deer and the Tartars fought bloodily, but the Tartars were 80,000 large, and Lu Xiangsheng was outnumbered and died in the battle of the Tartars, which was also a helpless thing. ”

Chongzhen Tie blushed and asked, "Oh, then you tell me, why are there less than 30,000 of my 60,000 or 70,000 troops fighting the Tartars in Julu, and the rest of the men and horses, are they all running to see the scenery?" Also, even if Lu Xiangsheng dies in battle, it is impossible for all his generals to die, what are they doing at the moment? Why don't you come to the capital to see me! ”

"This ......" Yang Sichangxin said, this is not obvious, and it is not a good thing to do it highly.

If Yang Sichang said so, then he must have been caught in the door panel, and he was also an important behind-the-scenes promoter in the process of suppressing Lu Xiangsheng.

Looking at Chongzhen's angry gaze, Yang Sichang had no choice but to continue to perfunctory: "Your Majesty, no matter whether Gonggong Gao is martyred or not, there is no need to be afraid of where the rest of the tens of thousands of troops go, and the most important thing at this moment is to find out where the scattered army has gone." The minister has heard that the strength of the Xuan army, the Shanxi army, and the Datong army still exists, but now they have all returned to their respective stations, and they must know better about the situation of Gao Gonggong, but they are now afraid of the emperor, for fear that the emperor will issue a decree to blame, so they dare not come to face the saint. ”

Yang Sichang is worthy of being a person who has been mixed in the court for most of his life, and with a light kick, he kicked the ball under the feet of others.

Chongzhen was suddenly silent, and his already ugly face turned a little pale. He understood what Yang Sichang meant, although the Ming army was defeated, but the imperial court could not issue a strict punishment, now it is no more than thirty years ago, if the general soldiers of the towns make trouble, they will have to rely on him, the emperor, to clean up the mess.

After thinking about it, Chongzhen sighed and said: "Well, I will make a decree to forgive their mistakes, after all, the battle of Julu is powerful, and all the officers and soldiers are not guilty of war, but now I am coming to the north of the Tartars, what if the Tartars besiege the capital again?" Wen Tiren, you can tell me. ”

Wen Tiren, who had been kneeling on the side silently, thought about it and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, how about transferring Hong Chengchou to Sun Chuanting to King Qinqin in Beijing?" ”

"Never!" Yang Sichang on the side was anxious, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, at the time when Hong Chengchou is in the middle of Sun Chuanting's encirclement and suppression of thieves and other rogues, how can he be transferred back to the capital at this time, isn't that a waste of all his previous efforts?" ”

"What about all the hard work?" Wen Tiren sneered: "Could it be that Yang Ge thinks that exterminating those rogues is more important than Gongwei Gyeonggi?" ”

"You ......" Yang Sichang trembled with anger, and said loudly: "In order to exterminate these rogues, our dynasty has spent millions of taels of silver in military spending over the years, is it possible that these silver will not be lost?" ”

"It's better to be in the water than to have the capital occupied by Tartars!" Not to be outdone, Wen Tiren fought back.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chongzhen knocked his head with his hand, these two people are here again, can't they talk calmly? However, in Chongzhen's heart, he also agreed with Wen Tiren's opinion. The rogue can be exterminated at any time, but the capital is the country's no room for loss.

The two quarreled to the end, but Wen Tiren's family prevailed, and finally Chongzhen issued an order and ordered Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to immediately lead an army of 50,000 into King Qin.

Looking at Yang Sichang, who was full of unwillingness, Chongzhen comforted him with some reluctance: "Yang Aiqing, I know that you have worked hard to exterminate the Liukou, but the Gyeonggi Heavy Land cannot afford to lose, now I am only temporarily transferring the army, and when the Tartars retreat, I will immediately resend the army to Huguang and other places in Shaanxi." ”

What else can Yang Sichang say, although the level of his military department is not half a star worse than Lu Xiangsheng's, but at least he still has the most vision. He knew very well that letting Li Zicheng and the others go this time would be like a tiger returning to the mountain, and it would be difficult to encircle and annihilate them in the future.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly came in and knelt down towards Chongzhen and screamed: "Your Majesty, there is a team of Qingzhou soldiers and horses outside Shicai City who have sent Lu Xiangsheng's coffin and ...... And the head of Gao Gonggong! ”

"What!"

The three people, including Chongzhen, were taken aback and stood up in unison.

Chongzhen said in a trembling voice: "Are you sure it's the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou?" How many people did they come? Is Pang Gang in that team? ”

The little eunuch kowtowed again and again, "Even if the slave maid has ten dares, he doesn't dare to bully the king, what the slave and maid said is true, the soldiers and horses outside are indeed under the banner of Qingzhou, and they are not many, only about six or seven hundred people, and the leader is that Pang Gang." ”

"Bold, bold!" Chongzhen's teeth chattered, "He still has the face to come to see me, come on, grab that Pang Gang, arrest him!" ”

For Pang Gang, Chongzhen is both afraid and afraid, this Pang Gang and Shandong under his rule seem to have become a country within a country, the imperial court has completely lost control of Shandong, the reason is Pang Gang, the culprit, now Pang Gang himself sent to the door, how can Chongzhen not arrest him?

"This ......" The little eunuch kneeling on the ground continued to report: "Your Majesty, but Pang Gang is ...... He's gone. ”

"Then send someone to chase him, catch him up, and arrest him back!" Chongzhen roared hysterically.

Yang Sichang and Wen Tiren were already sitting on the sidelines, watching their hearts and minds, turning a blind eye to Chongzhen's gaffe.

After a long time, Chongzhen, who had vented his anger, sat back in his place, and he also knew that since Pang Gang dared to come to the capital to return it to the imperial court, he was not afraid of the imperial army's pursuit, besides, who else in the capital now had the courage to pursue the famous Pang Gang.
