Capital.

After Xue Guoguan's recital was reported to the General Administration, the entire Ming court fell into a brief shock, and no one dared to believe that such a record was true.

With just a few counties of local garrison military horses and a group of bandits, more than 15,000 Dongyu were defeated, so why did the imperial court raise so many military horses?

However, they had to believe that Xue Guoguan was not one of those military leaders in Liaodong, and it was impossible for the dignified cabinet deputy assistant to tear up such a big lie.

Liu Yuliang, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, and Yang Sichang, the second assistant, who were in ecstasy, did not dare to slack off at all, at this moment they almost forgot about the party struggle, and broke into the Forbidden City in a hurry at the first time, and went to the Wuying Hall where the emperor was located.

Wuying Hall Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has not eaten much for several days, and the Guanning army adheres to the tactics of deep ditch and high fortress, relying on the tactics of defending the city, and only dares to march with the tail of Donglu, which leads to the bankruptcy of Lu Xiangsheng's plan to attack Niulanshan.

Dolgon's troops are in Baoding, Abatellenke Xin'an County, approaching Gaoyang, although Lu Xiangsheng is ordered to pursue, but with Lu Xiangsheng's 20,000 troops and horses, can he be Dolgon's opponent? If Lu Xiangsheng loses again, who else will dare to face Dongyu head-on?

Xue Guoguan went to Baoding to supervise the division, and General Huang had no soldiers and horses, this is still between holding and not being able to hold, he listened to Yang Sichang's suggestion, and let the Guanning army and the Xuanda army fight separately, should it?

"Wang Banban, you said that I dismissed Lu Xiangsheng as the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, is it right or wrong?"

Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, was shocked, he had served Chongzhen for more than 20 years, and he knew the emperor's temperament, and he was anxious and suspicious.

He had read the reports of Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Qiqian and others, as well as the general soldiers of various towns, and to be honest, the bankruptcy of the Niulanshan plan was completely caused by Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and others who were obstructed and deliberately delayed.

But Wang Chengen didn't dare to talk nonsense, because Chongzhen's favor for Yang Sichang was too deep, and he dismissed the factory guard, and there was no evidence of Yang Sichang in his own hands, and the emperor himself couldn't make up his mind between war and peace.

"Emperor, the big things in the court, the old slave is just a eunuch, how can the old slave be pecked at the major affairs of the military state?"

"If you say it, you say it?"

"Emperor, the old slave really doesn't know, if you have to say it, the old slave will tell the truth, Lu Duchen is determined to forge ahead, Yang Butang is old, everything they play has merit, and the old slave is not a person who knows the soldiers, so he really can't judge it!"

Wang Chengen cried with a sad face, and knelt down in front of Chongzhen with a "plop".

"That's it, that's it, the courtiers below deceived me, and the eunuchs in the inner court also hid it from me, and now you don't dare to tell me the truth!"

Chongzhen sighed, and at this time he couldn't help but think of Xue Guoguan and the others suggesting that he rebuild the factory guard.

"The emperor is overjoyed! Liu Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao sent Xue Ge Lao's emergency battle report, Gaoyang won a great victory, saying that he had defeated the enemy ten thousand five, won more than 2,300 heads, and captured the pseudo-Qingrao Yu Belle Abatai! ”

Chongzhen was just about to speak, and the surprise voice of the great eunuch Wang Dehua came from outside the warm pavilion.

"Ahh …… Hurry up! ”

Chongzhen was shocked, got up and shouted.

Wang Dehua, who was outside the door, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took Liu Yuliang and Yang Sichang into the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Emperor, Your Majesty is overjoyed, your Majesty is overjoyed, the ministers are congratulating for Daming, congratulating Your Majesty!"

Liu Yuliang and Yang Sichang entered the warm pavilion and wanted to salute.

"The two pavilion elders don't have to be polite, Wang Companion will quickly take a seat, Wang Dehua, take Xue Ge's old music to report and listen to me!"

Chongzhen had already snatched the throne and held Liu Yuliang and Yang Sichang up.

Wang Dehua didn't dare to slack off, and took out Xue Guoguan's recital from his sleeve pocket and said: "The prince of the minister, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the household department, and the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion Xue Guoguan are respectful. ”

"Tong Chen to Gaoyang, the defenders in the city are only more than 100, the east is coming, Gaoyang is in danger, and the minister is transferred to Qiu garrison Xu Zhijian, Xin'an garrison Liu Zhongwu and Zhending general Zhang Chao led the army into the guard."

"However, the soldiers in the hands of Xu and Liu Er are not more than 100, and the soldiers of Zhang Zhen must also be divided into Zhending counties, until the armies gather in Gaoyang, and the ministers have no more than 1,000 soldiers.

"On the 14th, the slave chief Abatai led 15,000 people to Bo Gaoyang, the old minister and Li Xingzhi guarded the east city alone, fought hard for several days, the east captives could not get close, my Gaoyang soldiers and civilians were also seriously wounded, the slaves were a little bit, the old minister made a suspicious plan, day and night to harass, the east captives were restless day and night, but the servile jackal, still want to fight again, the old minister then decided to break the enemy with fire on the 21st."

"The generals were afraid of the great situation of the eastern captives, and they did not dare to fight, Li Xingzhi rose up, and also thought that the old minister's strategy was a strategy to win in danger, so he ordered troops out of the city, the eastern captives were arrogant and unprepared, our army set fire on all sides, the eastern captives were in chaos, Li Xingzhi's horse broke into the enemy camp, detonated the gunpowder of the eastern captives, and the slaves scattered and fled."

"The old minister immediately ordered the generals to take advantage of the chaos to raid, the East Lu did not know the reality of our army, and everyone was frightened, so it was a big defeat for our army, Li Xingzhi was among the ten thousand troops, and the formation beheaded the pseudo-Qingzheng Blue Banner Jia Lazhang Jing Yang Guli, Wu Zhenchao Ha led Shi Tianzhu, and captured the pseudo-Qingrao Yu Belle Abatai."

"This battle is all by His Majesty's heavenly might, all the generals are brave, in order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, the east is defeated, that is, the south is really determined, the old minister is afraid that it will flee into Shandong, and the generals are divided into joint attacks, not full of merit, never return to the division, but Li Xingzhi has no official body, the old minister wants to protect him as the general soldier of Leiden, now the list of all the meritorious people, the minister is carefully listed on it, I hope that Your Majesty will be invited by the minister, with the heart of the soldiers!"

"Won?"

Chongzhen asked suspiciously.

"Emperor, how dare Xue Ge Lao make a fake, the old slave heard that Xue Ge Lao is escorting the Abatai Tatar chief back to Beijing! The emperor is overjoyed! ”

Wang Dehua knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Good!"

Chongzhen flicked his long sleeves, turned around and walked in the direction of the throne, and said as he walked: "Okay...... is a good Li Xingzhi, a good man who captured the Tatar chieftain in thousands of horses and thousands of troops. Xue Ge Lao made this special achievement, and found such a fierce general, he really deserves to be the minister of the Pillar State, spread my will, add him to the Pillar Country, the young master, and the Ronglu doctor, and give him ten gold medals, and he immediately sent the slave chief Abatai to the Beijing Division, and I will cut him with a thousand knives. ”

"The old slave obeys!"

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Wang Chengen was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.

Yang Sichang was "groaning" in his heart, before entering the Wuying Palace, Gao Yang won a great victory, won more than 2,000 heads, and captured the slave chief Abatai, which made him very encouraged, and even gave birth to his own strategy of "fighting outside must first settle inside" is wrong.

Now that the emperor has rewarded Xue Guoguan like this, wouldn't his further things be in vain, besides, Xue Guoguan relied on three thousand ant soldiers to break the Dongyu, and his proposal to make peace with the Dongyu was not extremely ridiculous?

But at this moment, where did he dare to sweep the emperor's interest, and his eyes rolled and said: "Your Majesty, Xue Ge Lao rode out of Beijing alone, captured the Tartar chieftain and returned, all thanks to His Majesty's knowledge, and the old minister congratulated His Majesty." ”
