"It's okay, this matter has already spread among the generals. This is all the emperor's plan! ”

"How?" When everyone heard the emperor's gossip, they suddenly came to their senses.

"That day, I followed Marquis Xiong to make an inspection, and he told others. There were traitors in the court, and the emperor's orders could not be transmitted to the palace at all, and the emperor did not know about the outside affairs! ”

"It's really fake!"

"Really! When the emperor found out about this situation, there was no other way, so he tried his best to let the Ming army defeat the battle, until the thieves entered the Beijing division, and the corrupt officials defected to the new master, and the emperor could take advantage of the chaos to run out and personally lead the troops to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. ”

"This ...... Too ...... "A soldier obviously doesn't believe it, corrupt officials are so powerful?" Will the emperor be so devastated? That's!

"I can't think of it! After the emperor left the palace, he immediately showed his skills, defeated Li Zicheng when he came up, and then cleaned up Jianyu, immediately recovered the Beijing Division, and took all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials into prison! ”

……

"Sneeze ......"

Chongzhen sneezed, and Tian Shouxin hurriedly added a few pieces of coal to the stove and shook the fan, hoping to heat it up quickly.

"Hey, it's not easy to brag, in order to round out a lie, you have to tell more lies......" Chongzhen held his cheeks and muttered: "I have to say some more reasons for deliberately defeating the battle...... If you don't explain it, it won't make sense! ”

Tian Shouxin whispered: "The emperor can say that the emperor deliberately let the army retreat, but the generals who led the troops were incompetent and commanded the retreat into a defeat......

"Huh? This point is good! Chongzhen clapped his hands, "Keep your word, you have a talent for lying." ”

Tian Shouxin was in a cold sweat, this is not a compliment to him, if the emperor thinks that he can lie, then it will be repaid, "The minister just said casually, the minister is an honest person, and he will not lie!" ”

Chongzhen smiled, noncommittal, and said, "It's still early, you go and summon Xiong Wei and Wu Sangui over." Find a few more people and spread out your explanation......"

Chongzhen really has no choice, he can't say that his ability in the first seventeen years is insufficient, in order to rebuild the prestige of the Heavenly Family, he has to let those Donglin people take the burden.

Anyway, the defeat of the Ming Dynasty is the sin of the Donglin Party nine times out of ten, and it is not wrong to let them take the blame.

Haha, and I, Emperor Chongzhen, are all victims like the people of the world!

……

The next day, at 7 o'clock, the sun slowly rose, the air was still cold, and the winter wind was still cold.

Haoge stood at the head of the inner city of Shengjing, looked south, and saw the smoke rising in the Ming military camp, and the smoke swayed with the wind, like the Ming army.

"Are they here to watch the scenery, or are they here to attack the city, what time is it, and few people are getting up?" Hauge muttered.

"This is really weird, this king has fought all his life, and he has never seen such a loose military camp and soldiers." Dai Shan also frowned, "You see, except for those who patrol the camp and cook, almost no one comes out of the tent!" ”

"The king thought they were going to attack the city today!" Hauge grumbled, "I'm wearing armor early." ”

Dai Shan was also tired on his face, and it was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night.

After another quarter of an hour, the tent of the Ming army was still as quiet as ever, and Hauge even guessed that it was just an empty camp and that the Ming army had fled......

For another quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the Ming army's cooking squad rode tricycles to deliver food to those military tents, and Haoge only saw someone in the tent come out, bring breakfast and go back, and there was no other action.

"This ...... Ming Dog is too good at enjoyment, it's too cold, so I'm not ready to go out of the tent? Haug was dumbfounded.

On the side of the Ming army, the soldiers were feasting in the military tent, so uncomfortable.

They never thought that they could fight like this, and they ate a rich breakfast that included eggs, pickles, and rice porridge without leaving their accounts.

"It's better to fight with the emperor! Look at this meal, how hearty, I heard that there will be chicken at noon! ”

"Well fed, well dressed, well stayed! I've never fought like this before, it's so fucking comfortable! When the emperor orders the siege of the city, I will be the first to rush to the city! ”

Wu Sangui ate breakfast, walked out of the big tent, and looked at the cloudy sky, but his eyes were bright.

Since returning from the emperor's Zhongjun tent last night, Wu Sanfu found that his brother's eyes had changed, from the anxiety and uneasiness of the previous few days, to full of sharpness.

The temperament of the whole body has also changed, obviously it is a person, but it gives people a sword-like atmosphere, and there is a chilling feeling.

"Sanfu, order 3,000 elite cavalry, let's go out and fight Grass Valley!"

Wu Sanfu was very curious about what Chongzhen said yesterday, which could completely change the state of the eldest brother, but his brother didn't say it, and he couldn't ask, so he had to suppress his curiosity and take the order.

During the Song-Liao conflict, Khitan officers and soldiers plundered the Han people in the name of horse herding to supplement military salaries and eliminate potential hostile forces.

Chongzhen borrowed this easy-to-understand term and handed over this task to Wu Sangui and others, not only did the generals know what they were going to do when they heard it, but even ordinary soldiers could quickly understand their combat mission.

Knock knock knock......

In Wu Sangui's camp, war drums rumbled and spread throughout the four fields, breaking the rare tranquility of the early morning.

When Hauge and the others heard this, they immediately rushed to the head of the city.

I saw that in the Ming army camp, two or three thousand people quickly rushed out, took war horses, and quickly assembled into a phalanx.

In front of them, a military general wearing the 'Purple Flower Armor' rode his horse in front of them, and was speaking loudly.

The head of the city couldn't hear what they were talking about, but from their gestures, it could be guessed that this Ming cavalry had a combat mission!

"With such a small number of people, it seems that they are not ready to attack the city." Dai Shan squinted, staring into the distance for a moment.

"It's moving!" Hauge spoke, "This ...... They're going to go away...... Is it ......?"

"The fort outside the city is in danger!" Dai Shan's face was gloomy.

Although the Jurchens were nomadic, fishing and hunting peoples, they also cultivated farmland, whether they were nomadic herders, fishing and hunting, or farming, they all gathered around a fixed residence to live in people, and according to the number and scale, they were divided into cities, banners, battalions, forts, tun and other regulations.

Fort and tun are the smallest place names, and the fort is the one with a fortress, and the tunzi is one with a wall or a cane.

Baozi or Tunzi is generally named after the family name, and lives in eight households out of ten, with a maximum of dozens of households, and at the same time, it will also include the Han soldiers and their families who are clothed and accompanied by the flag.

Therefore, the attack of 3000 cavalry is absolutely a catastrophe for them. It's no wonder that Dai Shan is frightened.

Wu Sangui has lived in Liaodong for a long time, so he naturally knows these situations, and after he got the military order, he began to gear up.

It was too easy for the elite main force to attack the fort, and while harvesting the heads of the captives, he could also get a large amount of supplies, which was his favorite thing to do.

To the north of the city, Xiong Wei also sent 3,000 people, led by the Mongol general Bau, and galloped away.

Last night, Chongzhen asked him to compare with Wu Sangui, who gained more, Xiong Wei naturally knew his strengths and weaknesses, so he directly appointed Bau to be fully responsible, he knew that professional things should be handed over to professional people to do.
