I also know that the Ming Dynasty was on the battlefield in Liaodong, and the surprise attack plan of Ge Yan's 40,000 army was to deal with the hands of the current dynasty's concubine.

Therefore, Wang Yanye never felt that the Mongols, who were already declining, could take advantage of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although he is now denouncing his own father, in a sense, he is also saving his father.

Now, the entire northwest of the world has a pot of porridge in Luancheng.

The news that the Ming Dynasty's Horse Lord personally led troops to settle in Yanmen Pass has not yet reached Jiannu.

The Mongols in the northwest did not know even more.

Therefore, all the princes and tribes want to take this opportunity to cut a piece of Daming's flesh and suck a mouthful of Daming's blood.

Even Dolgon, who had provoked Hazir to attack Datong, did not expect that the current military operation would go so smoothly.

Because Dorgon's original conspiracy was to provoke Hazir to attack the northwest border town of the Ming Dynasty.

In his heart, he felt that Hazier's waste could only have the effect of disturbing Daming.

However, what happened in reality shocked his eyes!

Datong was taken down by Hazir so quickly??

it!

After Dolgon saw Tuoba's letter, he was annoyed and regretted for a long time, and slapped his thigh violently to vent his remorse.

Knowing that this was the result, he led his army to attack Datong.

You must know that he captured Datong by himself, and Datong is the Jurchen.

It was of the Manchu royal family.

It has nothing to do with Mongolian Tatars.

Now......

I wanted to throw a hard bone at the lackey Hazier.

As a result, Hazir swallowed the bone directly.

Dorgon had to replan.

After all, if you let Huang Taiji know that he didn't dare to attack Datong because of his timidity.

But let Harqi take the lead.

His position within the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty would plummet.

So for Dorgon, the best outcome is naturally for him to occupy Datong.

Therefore, it was time for Dolgon to use troops against the Ming.

The 50,000 elites he brought out haven't really fought a battle since they arrived in the northwest.

But now Dolgon is also quite a headache, because the 10,000 Praetorian Guards led by Liu Yuzhou are pestering him like gummy.

It is very unrealistic for him to enter Datong now to control the situation.

At the same time, Hazir drank fine wine in his camp, and listened to his subordinates read to him the praises and praises of the leaders of the tribes of the steppe!

The current Hazir is a little drifting to be honest.

He thinks Lao Tzu is the best in the world.

Lao Tzu is the eagle of the steppe, the overlord of Mongolia.

The king of kings, the heavenly khan of khans.

His bold actions completely shocked the three great powers!

However, whether it is the Mongolian tribes or the Jiannu of Huang Taiji.

At this moment, I don't know that the ace cavalry under the command of Hazir has all been broken.

At this time, Yanmen Pass has passed a long and cold night.

Zarbak was captured alive and imprisoned in a dark, damp dungeon.

He also screamed all night.

But no one paid any attention to him.

If it weren't for Zhou Xian's special explanation that he would treat the captives preferentially, he would have died many times.

And Zhou Xian's doing this is not merciful, but to kill Hazier's morale when necessary.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xian asked Yu Jinshan to transmit the military report of the victory at Yanmen Pass back to Xincheng.

I hope to stabilize the hearts of the residents on the other side of Xincheng.

Although this victory only killed 5,000 Mongol cavalry, it did not play much role in the entire battlefield.

But it is enough to appease the hearts of those ordinary people who have fled with their families.

Xu Xianchun brought breakfast to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian took two bites, and then asked about the defense of the defense line.

The soldiers were ordered to be fed.

After all, in the late autumn season here in Shanxi, the climate is not the same as that of Beijing.

The temperature difference between morning and evening here is too great, so the soldiers need to be extra calories for breakfast and dinner.

Fortunately, there are many coal mines in Shanxi, and soldiers can rely on burning charcoal to keep warm.

A short time later, Lu Delin came in.

"Chitose, the grain and grass have arrived."

"Where did it come from?"

"Sent by Taiyuan Military Town."

"It was escorted by the governor of Shanxi."

"Oh, here comes Tsai? Pass him on. ”

"Yes!"

A short time later, Cai Maode came in.

Cai Maode is the governor of Shanxi, and he did not do anything big when he was in office.

But no major mistakes have been made.

belongs to the kind of officials who are moderate and conservative.

But in the Ming Dynasty, such an official has become a rare talent!

One can imagine how bad the atmosphere of the officials in the entire court is.

"See Chitose for the next official!"

"No need to be polite, let's live."

"Xie Chitose."

"I'm sorry for you to personally escort this batch of grain and grass."

"Chitose, Chitose personally conquered the northwest, tirelessly worked hard, did not quit the long way, he was already the pillar of the court, and the transportation of grain and grass by the lower officials was only the duty, thanks to the care of the chitose, the lower officials were sincerely afraid."

Zhou Xian was not in the mood to pay attention to Cai Maode's words, but asked: "Lord Cai, how do you feel about what you saw and heard along the way when you came here from Taiyuan this time?" ”

When Cai Maode heard this, his face was stunned, and he trembled and said: "Chitose, Xia Guan saw the people scattered along the way, and saw the officers scattered in all directions, and many houses were empty. ”

"These are all facts, I ask you how you feel?"

Zhou Xian's tone was a little dull.

Cai Maode also knows that the Datong border town in the north is within his jurisdiction.

As the governor of Shanxi, no matter what happens in Shanxi, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

He knew better that he was questioning himself when he was on the horse.

Cai Maode bowed and saluted, and hurriedly said: "Back to Chitose, the lower officials thought that the attack on Datong was a military defeat for our dynasty. ”

"Even if it was invaded by the Khitan in the previous dynasty, the border town has never been lost. Therefore, the lower officials thought that Wang Jimo, the governor of Datong, could not escape the blame. ”

Although Cai Maode is the governor of Shanxi, Wang Jimo is not his subordinate.

And Cai Maode can't control Wang Jimo.

Because Wang Jimo is the governor of the military town.

He is also the governor of Datong, the head of the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a governor was directly under the authority of the Ministry of War, the Cabinet and the Emperor.

And Cai Maode is in charge of civil affairs.

Therefore, he is only responsible for providing all military supplies such as grain, grass, and materials for the border pass when it is in crisis.

If the grain and grass are not delivered, it will be a dereliction of duty.

Zhou Xian listened to Cai Maode's words and bowed slightly.

There really was no need for him to reprimand the governor.

Because he set a three-day deadline for him, Cai Maode came the next day.

At this time, Cai Maode was already in his fifties.

It's not easy to do this.

"Can Wang Jimo be in Taiyuan now?"

"If you go back to Chitose, Governor Wang is indeed in Taiyuan Mansion, and the army under his command is now stationed in Jinyang City."
