"Boom, boom!"
The spring thunder rolled in the dark sky, and the rain washed the blood stains on the city, and the people in Shuozhou City were panicked, and the sound reminded them of the shelling of the day.
It has been three days since the Qing captured the city, Shuozhou is an important town in the north of Shanxi, and the city wall is not as strong as Datong and Taiyuan, but it is also considered a strong city defense. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the Kou, the governor of Shanxi, Wu Fu, has focused on the defense of Shuozhou and Ningwuguan, and all kinds of defensive equipment in the city are sufficient. Although Lu Xiangsheng vaguely mentioned in his letter to him that Shanxi Town only needed to hold the defense line of Ningwu Pass, Wu Fu could not allow Shuozhou to be lost casually, because this was his jurisdiction.
The Great War lasted for a month, and Wang Gui, the eunuch guarding Datong, Shanxi, did not dare to conceal it and reported the military situation to the imperial court. So far, the war has only been confined to Xuanda Town, and the military department even has an urgent document, and Emperor Chongzhen also issued a stern edict, and Lu Xiangsheng expelled the Qing captives from the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Xiangsheng faced the envoy of the imperial court, and he could only make promises. Xuanda is his jurisdiction, and if something goes wrong, he will naturally bear it. The imperial court has always only looked at the results, if Emperor Chongzhen understands his difficulties, wouldn't there be no need to do anything in this world, and the governor of which town has no difficulties. Although he agreed happily, after the Jinyi guard who read the holy decree left, the heavy troops gathered in Shifuling did not change at all. Dolgon is now eager to declare a large garrison to save the Shuozhou field battle, but now he is only reprimanded by the emperor, if he lets the Qing prisoners go to the city of Beijing, I am afraid that he will not receive a reprimand.
Ti Cai left, and Lu Xiangsheng, who stayed in the capital to inquire about the news, arrived with a fast horse and told all kinds of news and rumors in Beijing. The others were in Shifu Ridge, one eye was on Dorgon's army, and the other eye was on the capital behind him, both of which would influence his decision.
"The DPRK and China reacted indifferently to the Great War of the Declaration, and most people's eyes were fixed on the Central Plains thieves. But there are rumors in the capital that this time the Qing captives entered the Kou because you recruited An Zhai last year. When I talked about the news, I felt a sense of secret happiness, as if I was fortunate that a thief had attracted attention.
That's because the news of the loss of Shenchi County has not yet reached the capital! Lu Xiangsheng is not as simple as following his own brain, and the affairs of the DPRK and China are more complicated than the battlefield. Although the three counties of Datong were lost, there were no people among them, and no one cared. Wu Fu, the governor of Shanxi, has sent a letter to him, saying that the gentry of the people of Shenchi gathered to cry and complain, asking the court to drive away the Qing captives and rescue their families.
"You go back to the capital and explore again!" Lu Xiangsheng restrained the troubles in his heart, this is the beginning, the longer the time drags on, the greater the pressure he will face. After his entourage left, he was full of thoughts, and wrote two more letters by hand, ordering his soldiers to quickly whip one to Wu Fu, the governor of Shanxi, and the other to Zhai Zhe, the general of Datong.
Three or four days later, the soldiers and horses of the towns in the southwest of Shanxi went north, and nearly 10,000 people gathered to Ningwuguan.
Zhai Zhe led the cavalry to leave the side pass and enter the empty Shenchi County. From the beginning of the battle in Shuozhou City, Zhai Zhe was on pins and needles, he had never fought such a humiliating battle in the six years outside the Saiwai, Dolgon did not come to pursue, and it was useless for him to stay in a remote place. The Doge had finally ordered him closer to the battlefield, but he had not yet been allowed to attack.
The army set up camp at the intersection twenty miles outside Shenchi County, and Zhai Zhe summoned the generals.
"Xiao Zhiyan, I order you to lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to closely monitor the road to the south of Shuozhou, and all the soldiers and people who have escaped from Shuozhou will be brought to the army, and then I will escort them to the Yamen of Shanxi Governor to guard!"
"Yes!" Xiao Zhiyan gave the order to leave.
"The rest of the troops do not take off their armor, their horses do not leave their saddles, and all the people are ready to attack at any time!"
The congregation will retreat.
Looking at the empty tent, Zhai Zhe realized the difficulty of being a handsome man, and he had never encountered such a painful trade-off outside the plug. The Governor gave him this order to blockade the battle situation in Shuozhou, where the life and death of the people would depend on them, and Xuanda Town would have no soldiers and horses to save them.
Xuanda Town abandoned Shuozhou and used one town against one country, this was a helpless choice, and Zhai Zhe could even feel the pain in Lu Xiangsheng's heart. He got up and waved like a fly, wrote another letter, and beckoned the soldiers outside the door, "Call the car wind over!" ”
In about half an hour, the wind was recorded. Zhai Zhe handed over the letter in his hand and said, "You personally go out of the fortress, send this letter to the grassland, and hand it over to the Chahar Great Khan Ezhe!" ”
"Yes!" Che Feng took the letter and turned to leave.
Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand to beckon him to his side and said, "If Ezhe is still hesitant not to send troops, you can sue him ......" The voice behind him was inaudible.
Che Feng's face showed a frightened look, and then he immediately went out of the account and sped away overnight.
This is the second letter sent out in three days, if Zhai Zhe stayed outside the Saiwai, he would have done it a long time ago, but for some reason Omubu Khan and Ezhe did not react.
Monan grassland.
Of course, Ezhe has his difficulties.
As soon as the Chahar army arrived at Tumochuan, a Huangjiao lama preached among the tribes that the Qing soldiers and horses had entered the Ming Kingdom to avenge the death of Yue Tuo and Chechen Khan in naturalization last winter. Immediately, the leaders of the Alukharka tribe who defected came to the Khan's tent to ask for help, asking for a joint army to enter the fortress to arrest Zhai Zhe and avenge the Chechen Khan.
Less than a year after the integration of the two tribes, Alukarkha believed in the Yellow Religion and Chahar believed in the Red Religion, and there were many contradictions. After the Alukharkhas were oppressed, they would inevitably miss the once domineering Chechen Khan, if Ezhe could capture Zhai Zhe and avenge the Chechen Khan, of course, it would be easier to make the Alukharkhas return, but he couldn't do this.
Ezhe expelled the lama on the grounds of martial law and forbade his subordinates to mention the war again, but with tens of thousands of people scattered in the steppe as a nomadic tribe, he could not prevent the Qing captives from spreading all kinds of news to the ears of the subordinates. He could not make up his mind to attack the grain convoy escorted by thousands of cavalry, which might even cause some Alukharkhas to flee Chahar. As for Omubu Khan, if it weren't for the knife to his neck, he would never provoke a formidable opponent alone.
The messenger left the fortress on the west side of Datong and galloped to the tent of the Thuba Chuan Chahar.
"When he was in the steppe, he had the honor to attack the eastern captives under the command of the Great Khan, and he often remembered the majesty of the Great Khan's cavalry in Sene. Nowadays, Mongolia is the most powerful in Chahar, and the Great Khan is in the prime of life, and it is the time to achieve hegemony. I originally thought that I could continue the front edge in the future and help the Great Khan to dominate the industry, but if the Great Khan did not move and stood by, I am afraid that there will be no chance to serve the Great Khan in Xia! ”
After reading the letter, Ezhe folded it carefully, and after a long silence, his eyes fell on the messenger opposite, and saw that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was trying to suppress the heavy breathing in his chest.
"Is your family defeated?"
"My general is besieged in Shuozhou, and the city is broken in an instant, please remember the past and give a helping hand!" According to Zhai Zhe's instructions, the messenger showed a painful look on his face, and wept blood and begged.
Ezhe hesitated, he had finally strengthened the strength of the tribe, how could he make the good situation fall apart for Zhai Zhe, even if it was only a little possibility. Huang Taiji is implementing a strategy to attack the heart, hoping that he will jump into the trap. Mo Nan does not have Zhai Zhe, and Daming will have others to cooperate with him, but he only has one chance to annex Alukharkha, give him another year or two, and the Alukharka people will forget the former Chechen Khan.
Two days and one night later, Che Feng entered Ezhe's camp.
