After hearing the scout's military report, Xu Guohou, as the person concerned, not only did not show the slightest concern on his face, but breathed a sigh of relief. Because, the military report of the scout in front of him just confirmed what he just said.

As for Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, he was prepared in his heart. Even though this military newspaper was very slap in the face, it didn't show much anger. After waving his hand and signaling the attendant to carry the person out, he stopped talking.

In this way, the huge hall, because of this series of indigestible news, fell directly into silence. The atmosphere in the main hall also became more and more heavy and depressing......

Everyone else in the hall can not speak, but the military department is still in the book and cannot not speak.

Because he is the direct commander of this battle against the Northern Army, once he fails, he will be greeted not only by resigning, but by his guarantee in the court: the head will fall to the ground......

So, just when the atmosphere in the court became more and more solemn, the military department had to stand up and say.

"Your Majesty, you must find a way to block the advance of the Northern Army. Otherwise, our sneak attack on the armies of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces has not yet entered the hinterland of Shanxi and Shanxi provinces, posing a mortal threat to Shanxi and Shanxi provinces, and the troops of the northern army have already reached the outside of the capital......"

Emperor Chongzhen, who reacted from the shock, replied angrily: "Find a way...... Of course I know how to do it...... However, in the face of the powerful heavy artillery of the Northern Army, what other way can stop the advance of the Northern Army...... You come to sue sù朕......"

Under a series of questions from Emperor Chongzhen, the military department Shangshu was directly choked and couldn't say a word.

At this time, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was picked up by Luo Yangxing. Suddenly he stood up and spoke.

"陛xià. Wechen has a way here. Maybe we can find a way to delay the conquest of the northern army, so that we can sneak attack the troops of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and buy enough time...... It's just that Wechen doesn't know if this method is feasible......"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw before he died, and asked eagerly.

"What...... As long as I can block the advance of the Northern Army, I can try anything......"

The middle-aged man standing in the middle of the main hall hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, according to the report of Jinyiwei's secret agent in the Northern Army. The slogan raised by the Northern Army was not to capture the capital, but to force the imperial court to negotiate with them, recognizing that the Haw Par Army would continue to govern the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and that he would be the emperor of the two provinces. ”

"Since he Wei Zheng wants to negotiate with us, then we will use this excuse to agree to negotiate with them. And the imperial court can use negotiations as an excuse to ask the Northern Army to suspend all military operations to show their sincerity in negotiations......"

"Other Weichen didn't dare to guarantee it. With the good-faced character of the Northern Army and the Wei Zheng, use this method. After dragging the Northern Army for ten days and half a month, Weichen can still guarantee ......"

"It's just that, in this way, the face of the imperial court will be damaged. After all, agreeing to negotiate with Wei Zheng would mean that the imperial court bowed to Wei Zheng, although it was only temporary......"

Seeing the various expressions on Chongzhen's face that were constantly changing, he had already agreed with this mention in his heart, and then he chimed in: "Your Majesty, the old minister fully supports this idea......

"After all, this is just a stopgap measure for us to conquer the Northern Army."

"As long as we sneak up on the armies of Shanxi and Shaanxi, we will attack Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. When the time comes, it will not be the imperial court that will bow his head, but his Wei Zheng, the ...... of the Tiger and Par Army."

"Therefore, we endure the anger of the moment, which does not mean defeat, but to achieve greater victory......"

At the instigation of the military department, Emperor Chongzhen finally moved.

However, he did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically with a stern face: "If I agree to negotiate with the Northern Army, slow down their advance." Love the sneak attack troops you mentioned, can you really attack the two provinces of Shanxi and give a fatal blow to the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Then, he forced the two provinces of Shanxi and the Northern Army to surrender to the imperial court......"

"The old minister guarantees with his own net worth and life, and he can definitely force the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi to submit to the imperial court......" The military department Shangshu didn't think about it, and replied with a confident face.

"In order to achieve the goal of directly smashing Huanglong, Lao Chen sent a total of three armies, a total of 60,000 elites, from three different directions, to attack the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi."

In addition, in order to disperse the territory of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the Haw Par Army has limited defensive forces. In addition to the 60,000 elites who served as the main attack on the three routes, Lao Chen also transferred 50,000 local garrisons from all over the Central Plains, divided into eight routes, and launched a feint attack on Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces from eight different directions, so as to achieve the purpose of dispersing their defensive forces. ”

"Therefore, the old minister is confident that the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, where the army is empty, will definitely not be able to block the fatal blow of the imperial court......"

Under the analysis of the military department, Emperor Chongzhen's confused and hesitant heart once again had the confidence to fight with Wei.

Under the gaze of a group of courtiers, they directly agreed to this 'delaying strategy' proposed by Jinyiwei.

At the same time, the eleventh army of the imperial court, which received the holy decree of the imperial court to send troops, also began to gear up and launch a tentative attack on their respective targets.

As a result, the local garrisons of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, which were defending the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, sent letters asking for help to the Shanxi Governor's Office in Datong, asking the Governor's Office to immediately send troops to reinforce various places......

Facing the snowflakes in front of you, a steady stream of papers.

Wang Feng, who was left by Wei Zheng to be responsible for the security of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, was indeed taken aback at first.

However, when these messy documents were thrown to dozens of staff officers for analysis, Wang Feng's slightly flustered heart completely quieted down.

Because, under the analysis of dozens of staff officers, the priorities and dangers of these documents for help were directly sorted out. Coupled with their analysis of the strength of the officers and soldiers, a general operational idea about the imperial court was also put forward by them.

Looking at the analysis report of the staff in his hand, a heartfelt shocked expression directly flashed on Wang Feng's face.

He sighed to the military advisor beside him: "I really didn't expect that these staff officers who seemed to be young and had never been on the battlefield had such great ability, and now it seems that the general originally underestimated them." “

"After this battle is over, the general will also pay attention to those staff officers in the army. In the general's opinion, these young staff officers, as long as they are used well, plus a certain amount of combat experience. After a certain period of time, they can definitely be called the general's right-hand man and help the general to make suggestions. (To be continued......)
