June 6th of the first year of Dashun is also the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

The first-class viscount of the Qing Dynasty with the yellow flag of Manchuria was finished with Yan Yechen, and at this moment he was leading his 100,000 troops out of Datong.

Standing on a high platform on horseback, he watched the endless stretch behind him like a dragon without a tail.

Wanyan Yechen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

I didn't expect that their Jurchen tribe would be able to enter the Central Plains one day, and now they are going to compete with the dynasty of the Central Plains for hegemony in the world!

This moment made him full of pride in his heart, and the poetry was full of joy.

When I was about to compose a poem in three steps on the spot.

The scout who was probing ahead interrupted his Yaxing.

"Report --!"

"Dashuai!"

Scout fell to his knees in front of Ye Chen.

"The vanguard unit is attacked by thieves!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen, who was about to reprimand him for disturbing him, immediately became serious.

At this time, he still has a clear distinction between the most important and the more important.

"Do you have any specific information about the enemy?"

"No, we only know that it was the thieves who attacked our army, and I don't know which part it is."

After the scout's words were finished, Ye Chen let him retreat.

Turning his head to the former Ming general who had just surrendered beside him, he said.

"Do you know which army of the thieves is guarding this place?"

Hearing this, Wu Weihua, the former Daming (formerly Dashun) and now the Qing Dynasty, hurriedly spoke up.

"The last will know! This place should be the department of Zhang Tianlin, the envoy of the Shanxi Festival! ”

"Oh? Is it the one who gave up Datong and turned to guard Taiyuan? ”

"It should be right, at present, the only people who can organize the strength of Dashun in Taiyuan are Zhang Tianlin and Chen Yongfu, who are guarding Taiyuan."

After hearing these words, Ye Chen was indifferent on the surface, but he was a little vigilant in his heart.

This Zhang Tianlin, when he accepted Datong Mansion, had heard this name many times from the mouths of those former Ming generals.

In his opinion, Zhang Tianlin had far-reaching vision, and he discovered early that Datong Town would become a lonely city.

Not only did he immediately retreat to Taiyuan, but he also burned the baggage, grain and grass in Datong City.

As a result, his desire to rely on the grain of Datong City to supply was frustrated, and he could only go to the surrounding states and counties to collect grain and grass.

It took him a lot of time.

Otherwise, he would not have started attacking Taiyuan today.

"Can this person be bought?"

Ye Chen asked.

Although most of the generals who surrendered to him along the way were former Ming generals, they were not without Dashun.

It's just that the official positions of those people are too low.

There are all the eight or nine-rank officials of the general rank and the general rank, and there is not even a seven-rank flag.

This made Ye Chen very curious, he didn't believe that the generals of Dashun would see their 100,000 heavenly soldiers pressing the border, and no one would surrender?

That's why there is this question.

"Uh......, I'm afraid some... Difficulty. ”

Wu Weihua said with a little embarrassment.

Since the time of the Ming Dynasty, he has rarely heard of the generals of the thieves being bought.

Except for those very few, he is really rare.

And Ye Chen's question made him think of himself.

made him a little embarrassed to say that Zhang Tianlin would never surrender, so he could only vaguely say that there were some possibilities.

"Since this is the case, I will send someone to write to Zhang Tianlin, if he is willing to submit to my Qing Dynasty, whether it is a title or a woman, he chooses."

Although I heard the meaning of Wu Weihua's mouth.

But Ye Chen still didn't give up.

If you can rely on just a letter and a promise, you can make the thief's Shanxi leader submit.

This is definitely a great credit to him!

Enough to make him go one step further in the imperial court!

What's more, he only wrote a few words, and he didn't have to pay anything, and even if Zhang Tianlin refused, he just spent a lot of ink.

But if Zhang Tianlin agrees, won't he make a lot of money?

Why not do such a convenient but highly rewarding thing?

"Huh."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, naturally there were people around him to do it.

"That's... Do we want to go on the offensive or not? ”

At this time, Zu Zerun, the commander of the Han army of the Zhenghuang Banner who was following Ye Chen, asked cautiously.

As Zu Zerun, who has been in the Qing Dynasty for nearly ten years, he knows very well how to talk to these Manchurians.

Two words, obedience.

"Keep attacking, of course! Write a letter that should be written, and still fight what should be beaten! ”

Glancing at Zu Zerun, who was whispering beside him, Ye Chen was very satisfied with his attitude.

This is his good minion of the Qing Dynasty!

If everyone is like the ancestral family, why worry about the Central Plains!

"Order, order Bayan and Liu Zhiyuan to speed up! Defeat the enemy quickly! Arrive in Taiyuan as soon as possible! ”

"Huh!"

……

"General, the Tartars' vanguard forces have been searching for our whereabouts now, do you want to fight with them?!"

On a hillside somewhere in Hefen, Lao Zhu took a telescope to look at the situation that the mountains and forests on the opposite side were full of Qing soldiers.

He said: "No, our task is only to disturb the enemy, not to annihilate it, and with just our 4,000 men, how can we annihilate almost five times as many Tartars as our enemy."

"At the moment, as long as the Tartars feel tired and unable to attack Taiyuan City with all their might, our mission will be considered a successful one."

"Yes, General!"

After looking at the situation for a while, Lao Zhu put down the binoculars.

He gave full control of the front line to his lieutenants.

As a mighty general commanding more than 4,000 people, Lao Zhu no longer needs to personally lead the army to kill.

Just give it to the three lieutenants under him.

And he sits in the rear to lay out the strategy and decide how to fight.

In the evening, Lao Zhu, who had just been with the Tartar outpost blood station for a day, returned to the rear station and was about to report the situation to Zhang Tianlin.

As soon as he entered the camp tent, Lao Zhu found that there was not only Zhang Tianlin in the hall at this time, but also a black face and Ke Tianxiang.

Looking at the half cup of tea in front of the two of them, it was obvious that the two of them had been sitting here for a long time.

This made Lao Zhu's heart chuckle again,

Nothing big is going to happen, is it?

Lao Zhu sat on the chair on the right side with a strange thought.

At this time, Zhang Tianlin saw that Lao Zhu also came over.

So he motioned to Ke Tianxiang to hand over the letter in his hand to Lao Zhu.

Seeing this scene, Lao Zhu took the envelope with a little surprise.

I don't understand who wrote to Zhang Tianlin again.

And when I wrote a letter to Zhang Tianlin, why did I want them to come and see it?

Could it be that Li Zicheng ordered Zhang Tianlin?

didn't continue to think about anything, Lao Zhu looked at the letter in his hand with a glance.

"First Class Viscount of the Qing Dynasty...... After all the unification, Yan Yechen respected. ”

"I have heard of the name of the celestial star Zhang Tianlin for a long time, and I was able to meet today... You...... I.... ”

“…… Now that I am under the pressure of 100,000 heavenly soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, why do you continue to be stubborn? If you can return to my Qing Dynasty, you will have all the titles, official positions, gold and silver, and beauties......"

“…… Why didn't Gujun descend early? It can also avoid ending up with the destruction of the city! ”

“……”

Boy! This is to buy Zhang Tianlin!
