When the news reached Ouchi, Chongzhen was furious!

"Man Gui with 5,000 elite soldiers was easily defeated, and there were no casualties among the Tartars!"

Chongzhen couldn't believe the report and said, "How is this possible! My Beijing camp didn't cause any casualties? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Shen Fu will bring the death of the capital camp and the surrender of the surrender."

The military department Shangshu Shen Yongmao was very helpless, "Now there are no soldiers to fight around Gyeonggi, and we need to find a way quickly." ”

"Think of something!" Chongzhen asked hurriedly.

"The minister thinks that the best way is to release Yuan Chonghuan and order him to lead the Guanning army to the king ......"

"No way!"

Without waiting for Shen Yongmao to finish speaking, Chongzhen interrupted: "Yuan Chonghuan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and he must not let go!" ”

"But ......"

"Hmph, you also want to learn Cheng Benzhi?"

"I don't dare."

Shen Yongmao hurriedly bowed his head.

Cheng Benzhi was originally a cloth cloth, and was imprisoned by Chongzhen for complaining about Yuan Chonghuan.

"I don't dare." Chongzhen said angrily, "The Tartars are making trouble outside, do you have any way to expel them?" ”

"It will take time for the elite of the three sides to enter Beijing, and the only one who can come to the aid in time at the moment is the Guan Ning Army who is staying outside Shanhaiguan!"

Shen Yongmao said boldly: "For today's plan, the only way to hurry up is to find a way to let He Kegang lead the Guan Ning army to help." ”

"Then don't do it!" Chongzhen said angrily.

"Yes, the minister will do it."

Shen Yongmao didn't say it, but he was bitter in his heart.

Guan Ningjun mutinied, and it was not easy to let them rescue.

He had to send an order to Sun Chengzong, who was sitting in Tongzhou, in the name of the Ministry of War, and ordered him to do everything possible to let He Kegang come to help.

Sun Chengzong was also numb at this time. Man Gui died in battle, and the other Qinwang troops were unable to come to aid because of the problem of grain and grass.

Faced with the order of the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong had no choice but to reply, asking Shen Yongmao to ask Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter to He Kegang, perhaps allowing He Kegang to enter Gyeonggi.

After reading the letter, Shen Yongmao went to Chongzhen again.

Chongzhen didn't agree: "If I make an order to do this, wouldn't it be equivalent to pardoning Yuan Chonghuan's guilt?" Absolutely not. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has received an inconclusive message."

Shen Yongmao said: "Yang Chengying privately sent someone to contact He Kegang, although I don't know the specific content of the conversation between the two sides, it is not difficult to guess what Yang Chengying wants to do!" ”

"What do you say? Yang Chengying actually ...... How daring! Why didn't Hu Liangfu report it? What do they eat? ”

"Hu Liangfu has already been in the same stream with Yang Chengying, and Yang Chengying is a hundred responses in Jinzhou Town, who can help him."

Shen Yongmao said worriedly: "If the Guan Ning army really takes refuge in Yang Chengying, there is no Ming army outside the gate that can check and balance him." ”

After hearing this, Chongzhen began to hate Yang Chengying in his heart, and instead of going north to fight Tartars, he came to dig the corner of the Guan Ning army.

However, he still did not agree to let Yuan Chonghuan write the letter in the name of the imperial court, but asked Shen Yongmao to let Yuan Chonghuan write the letter in his personal name.

Shen Yongmao couldn't cry or laugh, he and Yuan Chonghuan were not related, how could he ask Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter in his private name.

After thinking about it, Shen Yongmao finally thought of a suitable candidate.

This person's name is Yu Dacheng, a scholar in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, and the official is the head of the Ministry of War.

Yu Dacheng had a personal relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, and after Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, he traveled all over the world to ask for Yuan Chonghuan's pardon.

Shen Yongmao found Yu Dacheng, explained the benefits to him, and asked him to go to the prison to find Yuan Chonghuan and ask Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter.

Yu Dacheng was also speechless, but the order could not be violated, so he had to bring wine and meat to the prison to visit Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan was handcuffed and shackled, and his movement was extremely inconvenient.

Seeing Yu Dacheng coming, he got up from the ground with difficulty.

"Supervisor ......" Yu Dacheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yuan Chonghuan up, almost crying.

Yuan Chonghuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't call me that, I'm no longer a supervisor." ”

He glanced at the food and drinks on the table, and guessed what he meant.

"What happened to Jingshi?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"Don't hide it from the superintendent, Man Gui has already died in battle!"

"Huh?" Yuan Chonghuan was heartbroken, only to feel dizzy.

Although he is not in harmony with Man Gui, it is only at work, and he has always had a good relationship in life.

What's even more distressing is that Yuan Chonghuan once recommended candidates to the imperial court, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and He Kegang, saying that they were first-class generals.

Now it's been two of them.

"Supervisor, the current situation is tense, outside the city of Tartar Chen Bing, there are signs of attacking the Beijing Division."

Yu Dacheng said: "Guan Ningjun was taken out of Shanhaiguan by He Kegang, and he was in constant contact with Yang Chengying in private, and Yang Chengying had bad intentions. ”

"Yang Juma is not the disloyal and unrighteous person you think, and he can't bear to let Guan Ningjun sink from now on."

Yuan Chonghuan explained a few words, but did not explain thoroughly.

There are some things that still can't be said too clearly.

The importance of Ning Jin is no longer what it used to be, even if Guan Ningjun is willing to be the king of Qin, he will face a salary crisis in the future?

None of this can be said explicitly.

Yu Dacheng naturally didn't understand it, but his mind was not on it, so he had to quickly cut to the chase: "I mean, please ask Inspector Yuan to write a letter and let He Kegang lead the troops into the customs." ”

"He Kegang used to listen to my dispatch, because I was the overseer, but now I am just a prisoner, and I can't send a town of general soldiers."

Yuan Chonghuan said helplessly.

Yu Dacheng was anxious: "The superintendent is prestigious, and the Guanning army obeys from top to bottom." If the supervisor refused to write a letter to persuade He Kegang to rein in the precipice, causing them to fall into the hands of Yang Chengying, how could this be worthy of the imperial court. ”

"This ......"

Yuan Chonghuan originally wanted to say, how could this letter be written. If you can't summon Guan Ningjun, you will offend the emperor; summoned Guan Ningjun, and he was convicted of the crime, and he would definitely die.

"The superintendent had the determination to die when he was in Ningyuan, but now that he is an overseer, doesn't he have this determination."

Yu Dacheng knew that he couldn't convince Yuan Chonghuan and would definitely be punished by the emperor, so he had to engage in moral kidnapping against his will.

Yuan Chonghuan sighed, so he had to write a letter and hand it to Yu Dacheng.

After Yu Dacheng got the letter, he hurriedly handed it over to Shen Yongmao.

Shen Yongmao sent a fast rider with Yuan Chonghuan's handwritten letter and went straight to the outside of Shanhaiguan.

Outside Shanhaiguan, it is also facing a huge turmoil at this time.

Sun Chengzong, who was sitting in Tongzhou, sent Ma Shilong, holding the sword of Shang Fang, to Shanhaiguan to summon the Guanning army to help.

Wang Chengyin, who was born in Guan Ningjun, led his subordinates to join Ma Shilong for his personal future.

This caused a great chaos within the Guanning army

He Kegang faced the generals of the Guan Ning Army who had not left, and asked loudly: "People, you must live a worthwhile life." Surrender to the past like Wang Chengyin, and others will reuse you? ”

"I think someone wants to sell Inspector Yuan to seek glory and wealth."

Cao Wenzhao gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, I still rush to be a dog for others." What if the fuck is the chief soldier of the three sides? Hungry are hungry. ”

Zuo Liangyu came back from Yizhou and secretly told Cao Wen some information about Yizhou.

Cao Wenzhao was greatly touched, and privately formed an alliance with Zuo Liangyu, if the Guanning army really faced a split, they did not hesitate to join the Jinzhou army.
