After Huang Taiji defeated Man Gui, he began to seriously think about his next move.

On the one hand, he sent people to make a detour back to Shenyang, so that Amindo could send reinforcements; On the one hand, it was decided to lead the army to the east and take the area around Shanhaiguan.

Taking advantage of Yuan Chonghuan's imprisonment, He Kegang's mutiny, and the imperial court's distrust of the Guanning army, the Guanning army was blocked outside Shanhaiguan.

Huang Taiji didn't know what was happening in Shenyang at this time, and he only thought that Yang Chengying was firmly restrained by Amin and had no time to take care of what happened in the west.

It's a pity that his policy of saving the country greatly violated the interests of the nobles. The Jurchen army that accompanied him admired him so much, but Guanwai still had great dissatisfaction with Huang Taiji.

In this way, with a little guidance, Amin let Huang Taiji not know about Shenyang, and only concentrate on attacking the land of Gyeonggi.

On March 22 of the first year of Chongzhen, that is, when the imperial court and Yang Chengying were playing over the ownership of the Guanning army, Huang Taiji began to act.

"Abatai, Zilharang, Azig, Dudu, Sakhalian, and Yanguli obey orders."

"Great Khan!"

"You lead an army of 3,000 to Tongzhou, but don't attack Tongzhou, just burn the ships on the canal."

"Great Khan, why is that?" As the head coach, Abatai was a little puzzled.

"Tongzhou is Sun Chengzong, this old man is easy to deal with. But the purpose of asking you to burn the ship is to cut off the transportation of the Ming Dynasty, so that it will be impossible to transfer the Beijing division by relying on rice and grain in the Jiangnan area, and make the Beijing division even more difficult. ”

Huang Taiji smiled slightly and said: "This matter can be done without attacking Tongzhou." ”

"Understood." Abatai smiled and took the order.

"The rest of the generals rested and were ready to attack eastward." Huang Taiji ordered again.

"Yes." The rest of the generals said in unison.

Sure enough, Sun Chengzong heard that the Jin army was about to be killed, so he hurriedly closed the gate of Tongzhou.

Abatai led the Houjin army, deliberately circled the city of Tongzhou, and immediately conquered the important town of Zhangwan, burning all the thousands of grain ships moored there.

On March 27, Huang Taiji sent Abatai, Yue Xu, Sakhalian, and Haoge to lead an army of 5,000 to attack Yongping Mansion.

Together with Dai Shan, he led 500 Bayala Protectors to probe the enemy near Jizhou to ensure that the retreat of the Houjin army was unimpeded.

"Great Khan, there are thousands of Ming troops ahead, and the target is unknown."

The sentinel cavalry detected the enemy's situation, and Pegasus reported to Huang Taiji that he knew.

"Ming Army? Where did it come from? ”

"From the East!"

"Got it."

Huang Taiji waved off the sentry rider and turned his head to look at Dai Shan.

Dai Shan calmed his face and said, "There are not many enemies, relying on our Bayala is enough!" ”

"Okay, the eldest brother is the right wing, and I am the left wing, outflanking this Ming army from both sides."

Huang Taiji immediately decided: "If the attack encounters obstacles, we will retreat separately, I will go to Jizhou, and the second brother will go to Xingzhou." ”

Dai Shan nodded.

The five hundred Bayalas quickly separated, and against this Ming army of unknown origin, they were easily defeated with only a single charge.

Turushh captured a few captives and threw them in front of Huang Taiji.

"Who sent you?" Huang Taiji asked in fluent Chinese.

"The Horse of Shanhaiguan...... Ma Zongbing. ”

A Ming prisoner stammered in reply.

"Which Ma commander?"

"Ma Shilong, Ma Zongbing."

"It turned out to be him." Huang Taiji snorted coldly and continued to ask, "How did you get here from Shanhaiguan?" ”

"I only heard that there is a large army to recover Zunhua, so I sent us and others to support. Our generals did not dare to take a short approach, so they had to go a long way. ”

After hearing this, Huang Taiji waved his hand, and several guards took them down.

At this time, Dai Shan rode his horse and arrived.

A battle that ended before Dai Shan had time to heat up.

He asked without a red face and a heartbeat, "Great Khan, did you ask what happened?" ”

"Second brother, I only interrogated it, there is a force of tens of thousands of horses to attack Zunhua, I don't know who it is." Huang Taiji replied.

"It's really strange, after Ma Dengyun and Heiyunlong surrendered, I asked carefully, there are no generals in the capital who can go out, who is so bold!"

"Dare to attack Zunhua directly, the courage of the people who lead the troops is not ordinary, we must be careful."

Huang Taiji said: "Second brother, you go and gather men and horses to see what level the Ming army is attacking Zunhua!" ”

"There are only a few hundred people in Yingordai, and it is likely to suffer!"

Dai Shan nodded and said, "I'll take a look." ”

However, before Dai Shan could gather his troops and horses and report from the sentinel cavalry from the direction of Zunhua, Ying Erdai, with the support of Du Du, successfully repelled Liu Ce's troops.

Liu Ce was the unlucky guy who was in charge of Jiliao's military affairs with Wang Qia, and was arranged to stay in Miyun by Yuan Chonghuan before he was imprisoned.

"Which direction is Liu Ce coming from?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Miyun!" Sentinel returns.

"It's strange, doesn't it mean that there is a group of soldiers who set off from the Beijing division to attack Zunhua, why is it Miyun again?"

Huang Taiji thought for a moment and sneered: "The intelligence of the Ming army is bad enough, and I haven't even figured out who I am supporting." ”

"Do I still need to go to Zunhua?" Dai Shan asked.

"Since the Ming army has been defeated by Yingordai, the second brother doesn't need to go, come with me to attack Yongping Mansion."

Huang Taiji said with a smile.

He didn't know that this was actually not a mistake by the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan, but that there was really a Ming army marching towards Zunhua.

There is no shortage of fools who are loyal to the country in any dynasty, and Liu Zhilun, who led this group of people to Zunhua, is one.

He recruited 10,000 hungry peasants for very little money, and was forced out of the city by Chongzhen to attack Zunhua.

At the same time, Liu Ce, under the urging of Chongzhen, was also forced to lead the Miyun Ming army to attack Zunhua, but was defeated by Yingordai with the support of Du Du.

In other words, Liu Zhilun led 10,000 hungry Ming troops on the road.

It's just that what can this 10,000-strong Ming army with no combat effectiveness do?

On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Huang Taiji personally led the Houjin army to attack Yongping.

Soon, Yongping was captured.

Zheng Guochang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, Zhang Fengqi, the prefect and others who refused to surrender to Huang Taiji were killed, and Meng Qiaofang, the abolished general guarding Yongping, led a small group of soldiers to break through the siege and fled towards Shanhaiguan.

After occupying Yongping, Huang Taiji wanted to find a Han Chinese to help defend the city.

Dai Shan recommended the former soldier Beidao Bai Yangcui.

Bai Yangcui is really boneless, and as soon as the Houjin army broke through the city, he knelt down numbly. As soon as he heard that he had been recommended, he immediately spent money to buy a set of Jurchen clothes to wear on his body, and shaved his head to see Huang Taiji.

There is no lower limit, which really shocked Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji asked left and right, is there any suitable one, and the answer is that this is already the best.

In desperation, Huang Taiji had no choice but to let Bai Yangcui manage Yongping, and asked him not to do anything that hurt heaven and reason.

Then send Zilharang and Daishan to guard Yongping.

Then, Huang Taiji personally led the army to continue to march towards Shanhaiguan, intending to take advantage of the instability of the Guanning army to occupy Changli and completely cut off the connection between the Ming court and the Guanning army.

Without the Guan Ning Army, the land of Gyeonggi was the world of his Houjin Army.

However, halfway through, he received a shocking news:

The Golden State Army is about to enter the customs!
