Gao Qi sat in the middle, Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, sat on the right, and the rest of the general soldiers stood. ≧，

Gao Qiqian handed the letter in his hand to Xiong Wencan.

"Lord Xiong, the marshal sent a letter urging him, our family really didn't expect that the Han army was also involved in the battle to attack Yanqing City, the marshal was very anxious, and asked our family to lead the army to reinforce, what do you think."

Xiong Wencan has been in the capital for two days, and the 30,000 troops under his command are stationed in the Beijing camp outside the city, and almost all the soldiers in the Beijing camp have entered the capital and are responsible for garrisoning the capital.

For two days, Xiong Wencan had almost no time to rest, on the one hand, he needed to settle 30,000 soldiers, on the other hand, he needed to understand the situation of the battle, and learned that Hong Chengchou led more than 100,000 troops to garrison Yanqing City, and then the Jin Tartar was preparing to attack the information, he was silent for a long time, this is undoubtedly a very dangerous arrangement, if Hong Chengchou can lead the army to hold Yanqing City, the Houjin Tartar will definitely look forward and backward, and will not be able to let go of the attack, but if the Yanqing City is taken by the Houjin Tartar, That would have unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.

Just asking Hong Chengchou to garrison Yanqing Prefecture City, and there is no force on the periphery to attack the Houjin Tartars, this is definitely not true.

Xiong Wencan instantly felt the pressure, this is not ordinary pressure.

There is also a situation that makes Xiong Wencan feel strange, after he came to the capital, he specially visited Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the cabinet minister, Yang Sichang should be very anxious in such a tense situation, but this time he saw Yang Sichang, he didn't feel nervous, and the conversation with Yang Sichang even made Xiong Wencan feel that the Houjin Tartars were not wreaking havoc in Beizhili.

This is not normal, and it should not be the case.

The 30,000-strong army led by Xiong Wencan was mainly composed of soldiers from the south. Fear of gold does not exist in this team for the time being, the sergeant did not have direct contact with the Houjin Tartars, and after coming to the capital, Gao Qiqian was directly responsible for the supply of grain and grass, and was a little biased in terms of grain and grass, so it should be said that the treatment was very good. Therefore, the morale of the sergeants is very good.

After a quick look at the letter, Xiong Wencan slowly spoke.

"Lord Supervisor, the lower official thinks that the marshal's worries exist, the Han army is good at attacking the city, and the battle of garrisoning Yanqing Prefecture has increased the danger of a lot, in this case, the reinforcements on the periphery are very important, if they can be combined with the outside. Although it may not be possible to completely defeat the Houjin Tartars, it can reduce the pressure on Yanqing Prefecture, and if the battle is in a state of stalemate, it will be very unfavorable to the Houjin Tartars. ”

Gao Qiqian smiled and nodded.

"What Lord Xiong said is very good, our family also thinks so, the 30,000 army led by Lord Xiong has just defeated the Liukou, and the morale is very good. Let's look at this former army commander, so we ask Lord Xiong to serve as it. ”

Xiong Wencan nodded. This arrangement was expected by him, Gao Qiqian had decided to divide the 120,000 troops gathered in the capital into the front army and the middle army, the front army was 50,000 people, and the Chinese army was 70,000 people.

The commander of the former army is Xiong Wencan. In Xiong Wencan's opinion, this is a very normal arrangement and deployment, and it is impossible for him to disobey the order, and Xiong Wencan thinks. The front army and the Chinese army should be dispatched together, one after the other, and the gathering will not be very far, and in case of special or emergency situations, the two sides can respond to each other.

As for how to rush to the aid of Yanqing City, Xiong Wencan also thought about it carefully, he knew that Gao Qiqian had no ability to command operations, and the corresponding combat deployment must be worried about Xiong Wencan.

"The subordinate obeys the order, but when this former army should act, I don't know what the overseer wants."

As soon as Xiong Wencan's words fell, a smile appeared on Gao Qiqian's face again.

"Lord Xiong, you have been working with our family for many years, you know the temper of our family, since Lord Xiong is the commander of the former army, then everything is subject to Lord Xiong's requirements, the 30,000 army under the command of Lord Xiong, plus the 20,000 troops of Yingzhou Wei and Mizhou Wei, a total of 50,000 people, how to act, how to rescue Yanqing City, resist the Houjin Tartars, how to fight according to the requirements of the marshal, that needs to be considered more by Lord Xiong, our family's task is to give Lord Xiong a good guarantee of food and grass."

Gao Qiqian's words sounded very touching, but Xiong Wencan found an important problem, since Gao Qiqian did not consider how to fight, how the 70,000 Chinese army should act, could it be that there was no preparation at all, just follow behind the front army, such a major battle, without a detailed battle plan and deployment, it can only be said to be a big joke, to put it mildly, that is, to find death.

Xiong Wencan really wanted to ask, but Gao Qiqian is the supervising army, it is said that all the operational deployments are directly arranged by Gao Qiqian, and his task is to obey orders and arrangements.

But Xiong Wencan also has his own methods.

He stood up and walked over to the table, where the map was placed.

"Lord Supervisor, Xiaguan thought about it a little, the Houjin Tartars have begun to besiege Yanqing City, their attention must be in Yanqing City, although they will also be ready to deal with the imperial army that may be reinforced at any time, but they can't use it for two purposes, they can't do it at the same time, Xiaguan believes that the former army can use the method of surprise attack to disrupt the operational deployment of the Houjin Tartars besieging Yanqing City, if the former army can compete with the Houjin Tartars, then try to hold back the Houjin Tartars, the marshal and the supervisor stationed in the state city, You can take advantage of this opportunity to lead the army to use the method of flanking the front and rear to break down the defensive line of the Houjin Tartar......"

When Xiong Wencan was talking, Gao Qiqian's face was always smiling, but when Xiong Wencan said the back, a trace of light shot in Gao Qiqian's eyes.

After Xiong Wencan finished speaking, Gao Qiqian quickly spoke.

"Lord Xiong's arrangement and deployment is still very good, but there is one thing that we must remind Lord Xiong, the Chinese army will not participate in the battle for the time being, the Houjin Tartars invaded Beizhili, and the most important thing is the capital, the capital can not have any mistakes, our family must be responsible for the defense of the capital, but what Lord Xiong said also has some truth, if the former army and the Houjin Tartar fight together, the Chinese army can dispatch ......"

Xiong Wencan's face changed slightly, his premonition became a reality, the one who can participate in the battle is the front army, the 70,000 people of the Chinese army are unlikely to participate in the battle, the courage of the Houjin Tartars, how can Xiong Wencan not know, the army of the Beijing Guard, not to mention the face-to-face fight with the Houjin Tartars, even holding on to the city, are terrified, that is to say, the 50,000 former army he led, the one who dares to fight with the Houjin Tartar is the 30,000 soldiers under his command, and the other 20,000 soldiers of Miyunwei and Yingzhou Wei have no combat effectiveness, When you really start fighting, if you don't react, it's God forbid.

Seeing Xiong Wencan's face change slightly, Gao Qiqian once again expressed his concern.

"Lord Xiong, you have worked with our family for such a long time, our family completely believes in you, our family thinks that the former army should not have direct contact with the Houjin Tatars for the time being, the main thing is to cut off the supply of food and grass to the Houjin Tatars, so that it will be difficult for the Houjin Tatars to hold on for a long time, you see if this is the case, of course, this combat matter, Lord Xiong is the commander of the former army, and he is naturally directly responsible."

Accepting the task of fighting, Xiong Wencan did not stay in the capital and returned directly to the barracks.

The doubts in his heart became more and more, he met with Yang Sichang before, and found that Yang Sichang was not particularly anxious, and now he looked at the arrangement of Gao Qiqian, and it seemed that he was not particularly anxious, what is the reason for this, the army of 150,000 Houjin Tartars is wreaking havoc in Beizhili, and the losses of the Ming Dynasty are heavy, think about the ninth year of Chongzhen, the 100,000 Houjin Tartars led by Azig invaded Beizhili, at that time, the court was very anxious, and the emperor asked about this matter almost every day, but this time I didn't see such a situation, It seems that the whole court has an extraordinary confidence.

I don't understand, I don't understand, since I have become the commander of the former army, I must earnestly perform my duties, the 50,000 people in the front army, who can participate in the battle, that is, the 30,000 people under Xiong Wencan, Miyunwei and Yingzhou Wei, have all had contact with the Houjin Tartars, especially Miyunwei, who was defeated by the Houjin Tartars, and the Miyun Governor Wu Aheng and the general soldier Lu Zongwen were all killed in battle, and the morale of the sergeants fell to the lowest point, thinking that they and the Houjin Tartars fought face to face, the possibility was almost none.

Xiong Wencan locked himself in the barracks, and thought about it for a day, how to use the limited force to disrupt the deployment of the Houjin Tartars, this is a question he must think about, if it is because of the lack of meticulous deployment, it leads to the fiasco of the former army, and even is annihilated by the Houjin Tartars, it will affect the entire battle situation, and he can't explain it.

When it was dark, all the officers above the rank of general in the former army entered the room.

Xiong Wencan's face was serious, he looked at everyone, and spoke word by word.

"You all know that the Houjin Tartars are wreaking havoc in Beizhili, the official is the commander of the former army, and the task is to lead you to fight the Houjin Tartars, no matter how much you are afraid of the Houjin Tartars, but under the command of the officials, you don't want to have any luck, the former army must start a face-to-face fight with the Houjin Tartars, if anyone escapes from the battle, or disturbs the morale of the army, the officer will never spare the ......"

Xiong Wencan's request is very clear, that is, he must obey orders, and at this time, he can't complain about other things, and it is already very good to be able to lead 50,000 former troops to fight against the Houjin Tartars.

It's a pity that Xiong Wencan's request may not be able to be implemented, whether the former soldiers and soldiers completely obey the order will be known when they really start fighting, and at that time, if Xiong Wencan can't control the situation, then it's too late. (To be continued......)
