In the Yellow Cliff Pass, Lao Zhu can be said to be paying attention to the movements of the Abatai army at all times.

When he received the news that Abatai had paid the price of 3,000 men and some of the people's food and grass for 10,000 troops to force their way across the Great Wall and go straight to the Guannai, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

"Abatai's march is really steady enough."

These days, in order not to startle the snake, he even held down Bai Guangen and didn't even let him go to the night attack, but just let him be harassed by the army, in order to let Abatai underestimate his side.

Originally, he thought that Jiannu would definitely have an arrogant mentality when he came with a big victory, and with his own initiative to show weakness, Abatai might have some ideas.

As a result, I didn't expect Abatai to be so calm, not only did he not have the slightest idea about his side, but he didn't even have the intention of pursuing Bai Guangen, so that Lao Zhu, who originally arranged an ambush and wanted to take the opportunity to eat some of Abatai's people, all the follow-up plans fell through.

"Sure enough, it is no accident that every force can rise."

Lao Zhu was not too disappointed, for generals above the qualified line, the battle between the two armies was not only the ability to command the troops to fight, but also who made fewer mistakes.

Since Abatai is very rational now and has not made some low-level mistakes, it doesn't matter, just fight back on the frontal battlefield.

If you don't make a mistake at this time, you can only say that Abatai has a stable mentality, and when the two armies are fighting, if you want to not make a mistake, you have to rely on your own command ability.

In this regard, although Lao Zhu did not have any intention of underestimating Abatai, he felt that Abatai was not enough to compare with him at all.

Don't say it's him, not even Nurhachi.

"Pass the order and let Bai Guangen collect his troops."

Lao Zhu glanced at the map, and then beckoned Bai Guangen back.

Abatai used the 10,000 cavalry who entered the pass as bait, and made it clear that he wanted to fish himself out, as for his remaining army, he would definitely camp on the spot and would not march again, no matter how much Bai Guangen stared, he would not have a chance.

Since this is the case, then simply summon Bai Guangen back to find something else for him to do.

He Abatai doesn't want to fish, so let's see whose patience it is.

But before that, he has to give Abatai some chips, lest his 10,000-strong army that has entered the customs really become the climate.

……

Bai Guangen, who returned with the troops, was inexplicably a little worried in his heart.

The news of Jiannu's 10,000 cavalry entering the customs was passed on by him to Lao Zhu, Jiannu's 10,000 cavalry almost did not bring food and grass, let alone any heavy weapons, it can be said that the combat effectiveness is not strong at all, except for being able to loot some unprotected villages, nothing else can be done.

Not to mention a big city like Jizhou, even if it is a small town, they can't fight it at all without siege weapons.

As for the remaining 60,000 troops of Abatai, under the cover of less than 10,000 elite cavalry, they with grain, grass and baggage, if they want to march smoothly from the mouth of the Great Wall, it is basically impossible.

In the end, they will definitely have to march back to Huangya Pass.

Therefore, in Bai Guangen's view, the best way at this time is to stand still and wait for Abatai to take the initiative to attack Huangya Pass.

But the problem is that Bai Guangen knows that the main reason why Abatai made such an unwise division of troops is to go to Chongzhen.

Because Abatai knows Chongzhen very well, he knows that this is a lord who is eager for quick success, wants everything, doesn't want to lose anything, and doesn't care about any form or form.

Therefore, what Bai Guangen was most worried about at this time was that after he waited for Huangya Pass, Lao Zhu would let him lead troops to encircle and suppress the 10,000 Jiannu army that had entered the pass.

If that's the case, he has fewer soldiers with him, and he is not the opponent of those Jiannu elite cavalry at all, if he fights with them, he will have to explain it to them.

But if there are more soldiers with him, then the Yellow Cliff Pass will be empty, if Abatai takes advantage of the weakness at this time, when the emperor has a mistake, he will also be a capital crime.

So if the emperor doesn't make the right decision, then he will die if he can't get it right.

Bai Guangen, who was preoccupied, walked in with heavy steps.

"Minister Bai Guangen, I have seen Your Majesty."

After seeing Lao Zhu, Bai Guangen put aside all his thoughts, knelt down directly and pleaded: "The minister failed to stop the serpents, and I hope Your Majesty will give him the guilt." ”

"Just a few thousand people, if you want to stop 70,000 elites from building slaves, you really dare to think about it."

Lao Zhu laughed loudly, and then said: "We let you go, we let you harass, now you have dragged Jiannu for so long, and caused so many casualties, you have met our requirements for you, what are you guilty of?" ”

"But Your Majesty ......"

Looking at Lao Zhu's relaxed expression, Bai Guangen's heart was slightly relaxed, but he still asked with some worry: "Jiannu has 10,000 cavalry to bypass the Yellow Cliff Pass, and now they are going straight to the pass, how should those people solve it?" ”

"Don't worry, we're letting you come back this time just to solve this matter."

When Bai Guangen heard Lao Zhu's words, he immediately chuckled in his heart.

What do you mean, let him come back to solve this matter, that is, he is going to let him go after the 10,000 Jiannu Jingqi?

Bai Guangen looked at Lao Zhu tremblingly, with a hint of hope in his eyes, he hoped that Lao Zhu could say something different from his guess.

Outcome......

"You rest for three days first, and after three days of rest, then lead the troops to pursue Jiannu, and then ...... then."

When Bai Guangen heard this, it was dark in front of him instantly, he only felt that his brain was buzzing, and he didn't listen to a word of what Lao Zhu said later.

After a long while, Bai Guangen, who gradually came to his senses, heard Lao Zhu's last words.

"So, what do you think?"

Hearing Lao Zhu's last question, Bai Guangen had only one thought in his mind, that is, can I not go?

If you go, you will die, and if you don't go, you will die, and if he agrees to come down, there will be no way to live.

He looked at Lao Zhu as if he was in a good mood at this time, and after hesitating for a moment, he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the Jiannu elite cavalry is a rare elite in the world, if you fight them head-on, the minister is worried that the chances of victory are not great." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Bai Guangen say this, Lao Zhu instantly frowned, and directly startled Bai Guangen.

It's just as he imagined the reprimand, but it didn't happen, Lao Zhu just looked at him with a strange face, and then asked: "When did we say that you would fight hard with Jiannu?" ”

Lao Zhu now has an army of 80,000, a total of 20,000 cavalry, and 15,000 are new pawns in the Beijing camp.

In terms of the combat power of the Ming cavalry, facing the Eight Banners Elite Cavalry, the Ming cavalry has no chance of winning at all.

Bai Guangen said that he had little chance of winning, so he really promoted himself.

"Let's let you set off with 5,000 light horsemen, follow behind the 10,000 Jiannu elite horses, you don't have to do anything, just follow them from afar to put pressure on them, so that they don't dare to attack the city with all their might."
