The Xiaoice River period, sure enough, is not covered!

In the Gyeonggi area in October, the cold wind was howling, and Wang Li shivered all over.

"Factory, if you get any closer to the stove, your robe will be set on fire!"

"It's better to be burned to death than to freeze to death!

Yes...... Ahh......h

It would be nice if there was a woman warming the bed...... Ahh......h

"Factory father, we walked for two days to get to Xianghe! At this rate, it will take five or six days to reach Shanhaiguan! ”

Song Zhe's words were very tactful.

His original intention was to speed up the journey.

Because, at this time, the Houjin army is already near Zunhua, and it will be able to kill under the Jingshi City in less than two days!

At this time, the Guan Ning Army is still in Shanhaiguan!

When the Guanning army raises enough food and grass and slowly returns to the Beijing Division, I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold.

"Five or six days? You think beautifully!

We don't have a place to change horses, it would be nice to be there in ten days! Ahh ”

Wang Li sneezed and kept cursing Zhu Youzhen!

Remember, when I returned at the beginning of the year, several post stations were still there!

This immortal Zhu Youzhen!

When, the post station where the Jingshi went to Shanhaiguan was also cut off!

The dignified Admiral of the West Factory was reduced to drilling caves!

……

Capital.

Zhu Youzhen's face was full of sadness, and he said word by word:

"On November 2, the Pingliao general Zhao led the martyrdom!

On November 3, Zunhua fell, and the governor Wang Wuya was martyred!

According to the latest news, Jiannu is attacking Santun Camp!

Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a way to retreat from the enemy? ”

In the hall, there was a dead silence!

After a long time, Wang Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, finally opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, we have done everything we can!" All you can do now is wait! ”

The sound fell, and there was a dead silence in the hall again.

Zhu Youzhen's face was very ugly, but there was nothing he could do!

He knew that Wang Qia was right, only wait!

Jingshi has been placed under martial law;

In the city, mobilization is underway;

The edict to lead troops to resist the enemy has long been sent to various places;

The edict to transfer Yuan Chonghuan back to Beijing has also been issued;

Other than that, there's really not much to do!

The besieged Santun camp, without reinforcements, can only fall!

Sighing lightly, Zhu Youzhen was about to leave, and Zhou Yanru suddenly stepped forward:

"Your Majesty! Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Jizhen, refused General Zhao to enter the city, causing him to die in an ambush, and he should be held accountable!

Yuan Chonghuan knew that the Jiannu army was attacking, but he only sent 4,000 people back to help. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Qia was furious and pointed at Zhou Yanru's nose: "Lord Wen, Hugh is spewing blood!"

At the moment of the great enemy, you don't think about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, but you are suspicious of the generals in front of you with the heart of a villain, what is your intention? ”

"What is the intention? Hum! I have to ask you, Lord Wang! ”

Zhou Yanru snorted coldly, without fear: "Lord Wang, as the secretary of the military department, you are not good at employing people, you have no command, and improper coordination, which led to the fall of Zunhua and the death of General Zhao!"

Lord Wang, do you have limited abilities, or do you have ulterior motives......"

"You...... You...... I...... What can I do? ”

Wang Qia was so anxious that his face was flushed and he spoke incoherently.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Tiren, who rarely spoke, opened his mouth: "Lord Wang, there is something unclear about this official, please explain:

After the Jiannu army broke into the Great Wall, why was it able to accurately ambush General Zhao Shujiao between the two cities without capturing Santun Camp and Zunhua?

Could it be ...... Is there a fine work of building slaves in the army?

Lord Wang should give the emperor an explanation for this matter, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, this is really weird!"

"Lord Wang, all the soldiers and horses are at your disposal, is it really improper coordination? Or is it a coincidence? ”

"Lord Wang, you don't have a grudge against General Zhao, right?"

Ministers, every word you say to me, the spearhead is all pointed at Wang Qia, which makes him more and more anxious, and he doesn't know how to explain.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen on the dragon chair frowned, and was also waiting for Wang Qia to explain.

However, the military department is still in charge of the Beijing Division, and the fact of the battle ahead is sudden!

Coupled with poor communication, Wang Qia really couldn't answer!

If everything is a coincidence, no one will believe it!

However, if there is no reasonable answer, I am afraid that the position of the secretary of the military department will be difficult to protect!

In desperation, Wang Qia had no choice but to remain silent.

And the siege of the ministers can no longer stop!

It seems that all the blame should be placed on him!

Seeing that someone stood up again, Zhu Youzhen couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Enough!"

The current enemy is not the time for mutual impeachment!

Matters that have nothing to do with the retreat from the enemy, you may write a book, and you may not discuss it in the temple!

Retreat! ”

……

The military situation is urgent!

Although people were sleepy and tired, Wang Li didn't dare to waste time!

Two days later, we arrived at Yongping City safely!

Here, I met Yuan Chonghuan, who returned to the Beijing Division!

Surprised, Wang Li proposed to "dig out the old nest of Emperor Taiji", but Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and smiled bitterly!

In fact, on the day of Zhao Sect's departure, after careful consideration, Yuan Chonghuan had already brought troops back to help!

Hearing the news of Zhao Shujiao's death, Yuan Chonghuan was very heartbroken!

Of the three cadres under his command, there are only two left!

At the same time, Yuan Chonghuan is also rejoicing!

Fortunately, no troops were sent to Shenyang!

If Zhao Shujiao's ambush is a coincidence, no one will believe it!

Needless to say, there must be a lot of rumors about his death!

Moreover, these rumors are not good for themselves!

From Yuan Chonghuan's mouth, knowing the cause and effect of Zhao Led Sect to lead troops back to help, Wang Li suddenly realized!

Four thousand light horsemen returned to Zunhua to try to block Houjin north of Zunhua, which is a must!

After Huang Taiji broke through the defense line of the Great Wall, he did not immediately attack Zunhua and Santun Camp, but "waited" for Zhao to teach in ambush, which is actually very easy to explain!

This is not Huang Taiji's accurate prediction, nor is it a meticulous work in the army, let alone Yuan Chonghuan wants to "do" Zhao Shujiao!

All this is both a coincidence and an inevitability!

The army of Hou Jin came by detouring through Mongolia, marching thousands of miles, it was impossible to carry siege equipment, what did he take to siege the city?

These two cities have not been breached, how dare Huang Taiji drive the Jingshi directly?

Huang Taiji sent Azig to lead the white armor soldiers to be stationed between Zunhua and Santun Camp, and its purpose was only to cut off the connection between the two cities!

In this way, the Houjin army will have enough time and space to build siege equipment!

Therefore, this matter seems to be isolated from the fact that the Houjin army "stayed" in the Zunhua area for four days, "waiting" for Zhao to teach in ambush!

In the eyes of some people, it became Yuan Chonghuan secretly colluding with Huang Taiji to accurately "do" Zhao Shujiao!

"Inspector Yuan, the beginning and end of General Zhao's death, I will explain it to the Lord of Long Live in a book;

Long live Lord shouldn't be to blame for this!

But, no matter what, if you "let Huang Taiji go" into the prison, you can't escape this responsibility!

Right now, you can only make meritorious service for your crimes!

Whether to return to Beijing or attack Shenyang in the north, have you really thought about it? ”

"Alas!"

Yuan Chonghuan sighed secretly, calm on the surface, but uneasy in his heart!

Huang Taiji broke through Zunhua, and the next target is likely to be Jingshi!

At the beginning, when Yuan Chonghuan sent Zhao to lead the sect back to help, he really wanted to attack Shenyang to "encircle Wei and save Zhao"!

But......

If Zhao Sect's return to aid is blocked, if Zunhua is captured, there will be no barrier for the Jingshi Division!

At this time, the risk of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" is too great!

If Shenyang is besieged, what should Huang Taiji do if he doesn't come back to help?

If the Jingshi is breached, even if you take Shenyang, even if you take Hetuala, even if you recover the entire Liaodong, what can you do?

Not a capital offense?

Not to mention that the Beijing Division was breached, even if the Emperor Taiji soldiers came to the city of the Beijing Division and disturbed the emperor, it would be a capital crime!

Therefore, "encircling Wei to save Zhao" is likely to be a dead end!

However, at this moment, after the death of Zhao Shujiao, the light cavalry that the Guanning Army had just formed was only four thousand!

plus 6,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, it's only 10,000!

It's hard to compete with the huge number of Eight Banners cavalry!

If you return to the Beijing Division, it will become Huang Taiji's "waiting for work"!

It's hard to win!

However, is there any other choice than returning to King Qin?

"Princess, please also tell the emperor: the main force of the Guanning Army has left the Shanhaiguan, and it will arrive in Beijing within ten days!"

Yuan Chonghuan had already made a decision, and Wang Li no longer persuaded him.

He really wanted to dig out Huang Taiji's nest, but he also knew the risk after the loss of Zunhua!

Yuan Chonghuan's "arrive within ten days", Wang Li can also understand, and is a little worried!

The Guanning army was dominated by foot soldiers, and the marching speed would not be very fast.

Rushing from Shanhaiguan to Jingshi within ten days was already a forced march!

Such an army, even when it comes to the Beijing Division, is at the end of the crossbow, and it cannot compete with the Eight Banners!

This, still under the condition that Huang Taiji did not send troops to intercept and did not harass along the way!

In addition, the main force of the Guanning army was withdrawn to Guannei, and if Huang Taiji sent another army to attack Jinzhou and Ningyuan......

I'll go!

If that's the case, Da Ming will basically burp!

"Inspector Yuan, if you withdraw the main force of the Guanning Army, will the Guanjin defense line be attacked by the enemy?"

"Alas! Do your best, obey the fate of God! ”

Yuan Chonghuan let out a long sigh and shook his head bitterly: "When I learned that Huang Taiji had broken through the Great Wall, I immediately wrote a letter to Mao Chengzuo of Phi Island, hoping that he would immediately send troops to attack the rear of Jiannu......"

Alas!

Yuan Chonghuan sighed and didn't say any more.

He regretted it!

In fact, the day after he killed Mao Wenlong, he regretted it!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world!

"Report ...... Inspector Yuan: Huang Taiji personally led an army of 30,000 and has captured Qian'an! ”

"Qian'an? Qian'an? Did you read that right? ”

"Inspector Yuan, the little one is not mistaken! After the fall of Qian'an, Dolgon led an army of 3,000 and approached Yongping!

Azig led an army of 3,000 and approached Funing!

The main force of Huang Taiji is still in Qian'an, and the direction is unknown! ”

This news, not only Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, but Wang Li was also stunned!

Huang Taiji, what kind of trick is he playing?

After he captured Zunhua, shouldn't he use lightning speed to smash the Jingshi?

Why turn east?

He took Qian'an, Funing and Yongping, did he want to take Shanhaiguan?

Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible for Huang Taiji to take Zunhua first, pretend to besiege the Beijing Division, and then transfer Yuan Chonghuan to help, and then attack Shanhaiguan from the east and west!

At this time, there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed on the front line of Guanjin!

If it is attacked by heavy troops, it will be difficult to hold!

This guy is also quite cunning!

"Inspector Yuan, look ......"

"Order: Quickly change the route and enter Luanzhou!"

"Soldiers marching into Luanzhou?" Wang Li's eyes widened: "Inspector Yuan, you ...... Aren't you afraid of Jiannu attacking Shanhaiguan? ”

"There are cannons in the cities of Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and Huang Taiji does not dare to attack them!

For now, I should not dwell on it!

You should quickly bypass Qian'an and Yongping, and rush to Jizhou as soon as possible to set up defenses! ”

Jizhou?

Well, Jizhou!

Yuan Chonghuan is really smart!

Rush to Jizhou to arm the defense and block Huang Taiji to the east of Jizhou!

Attract Huang Taiji to attack Jizhou, and you won't disturb Zhu Youzhen!

As long as Huang Taiji didn't kill under the Jingshi City, everything is easy to say!

This is a great opportunity for Yuan Chonghuan to make meritorious contributions!

But......

The geographical location of Jizhou City is completely different from Zunhua City!

The terrain around Gyeonggi is flat, and Jiju City is not built in a dangerous location, let alone the only way to curb traffic!

Therefore, the Eight Banners, which are mainly cavalry, can easily bypass Jizhou!

If so, will Yuan Chonghuan chase or not?

Chasing, it is likely to be surrounded by ambushes!

Even if there is no surroundment, you don't dare to be tough with the Eight Banners!

What's the use of chasing?

If you don't chase it, Huang Taiji will swagger and kill Xiang Jingshi!

Therefore, after arriving in Jizhou, Yuan Chonghuan will still be in a dilemma!
