Han ride

Chapter 447 Chongzhen's Faint Move

"Zhang Guangdou, do you dare to rebel?" Jiang Guan held the sword in his hand, looking at Zhang Guangdou and others who surrounded him, his eyes were full of angry light.He never thought that his general would actually rebel.

"Jiang Yu, you have turned your back on your ancestors and become a traitor. Everyone in the world can kill you. General Zhang and others just don't want to be stigmatized for thousands of years, so they will abandon the dark and turn to the bright and return to my great Han country." The army turned, and Li Xin led the generals Walked over slowly.

"Haha, Li Xin, so it's you." Jiang Yu felt bitter. Although he guessed it, he didn't expect that Li Xin was so powerful that he even turned against his general.

"General Jiang, for the sake of brotherhood in the past, you should kill yourself!" Zhang Guangdou stood up and said loudly.

"Zhang Guangdou, you betrayed me today, and you will die in the future." Jiang Guan looked at Zhang Guangdou with angry eyes, then looked at the dozens of soldiers around him, and finally put the sword across his neck, and committed suicide .

"Bury it right there!" Li Xin naturally wouldn't honor such a person with a grand burial, so he just asked, "Have you found Sonny?"

"If you go back to the father-in-law, this Sony found something wrong. The soldiers who were killed to stay behind have already run away, and the last general has already sent people to chase them." Zhang Guangdou said quickly.

"It's a pity that he was allowed to run away." Li Xin didn't think that this person could catch up with Sony. This Sony, in the founding army, was a character with both wisdom and courage. It might be difficult to kill these people.

Sure enough, an hour later, the pursuing soldiers returned, but they did not find Sony's whereabouts.This made Li Xin very uncomfortable. After the big victory, there must be imperfections.

Li Xin only stayed in Jinshatan for three days and completed the reorganization of the army. Among the elite soldiers of Datong who surrendered this time, Li Xin selected 30 elite soldiers and included them in the Northern Expedition Army. With nearly [-] troops under his command, [-] cavalry under Yang Sichang, and [-] elite troops under Yang Zhenwei and others, Li Xin has [-] soldiers and horses in total.For a time, the momentum was greatly shaken, and the power shook the world.

On September 20, the seventh year of Chongzhen, Li Xin announced to the world in Datong that he was going to lead his army eastward to rescue King Qin. Actually known as Qin Wang.While working as king, Li Xin also ordered Shanxi Governor Wu Tong to lead the army to Datong Round, and ordered Hu Lie General Jiang Yi to lead an army of [-] to lead the army southward, stationed in Taiyuan and other places, and together with Shaanxi Hong Chengchou encircled and suppressed the rebels in Shanxi and Shaanxi.He also ordered General Huwei Yang Xiong to lead an army of [-] to attack Zhangjiakou and block the way of the Jiannu army.After the news came, the world was shaken.

In Huailai County, in the big camp, Huang Taiji looked withered and yellow. He looked coldly at Sonny who was kneeling on the ground. Beside him, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Dorgon and all the people from Dajin Kingdom gathered here.The news of Li Xin's dispatch of troops also reached Huang Taiji's ears through the spies, which made Huang Taiji feel panicked. He didn't expect that Jiang Tuan would be so useless. Not only did he not block Li Xin, but he even delayed nothing.The army came to attack, and now Huang Taiji can only face two choices, the first is to retreat now, and the other is to destroy Chongzhen before Li Xin does not attack.

"Your Majesty, this slave thinks it's a good time to accept it. Take the gold, silver and treasures we looted, as well as the Han people, and quickly retreat outside the pass." The person who spoke was the middle class of Jiannu, also known as the Four Masters of the Great Gold by Huang Taiji Ebilong in it.

His words were approved by a group of people in the big tent. After all, Li Xin had more than 20 soldiers. If he really killed him, I am afraid that most of the Jiannu would be killed or injured.

"Sir, what do you think?" Huang Taiji was very unwilling in his heart, Chongzhen was about to be wiped out, but now that he was recovering, he actually wanted to retreat again.

"I think that not only can we retreat at this time, but we must seize the time to attack Chongzhen." Fan Wencheng took a breath and said, "If it was before, if Emperor Chongzhen was in Beijing and Li Xin came to rescue King Qin, we would naturally wait I have to go back, because at that time, Emperor Chongzhen was still in charge of the court, and no matter how powerful Li Xin was, he had no choice. When we returned to the grassland, I thought that he would never return to the grassland this time. He wanted to stay in Beijing. Xin, and it is Li Xin who has integrated the Central Plains. That is our great enemy."

"That's right, Li Xin won't let this opportunity go away, he will definitely seize the opportunity to occupy the city of Beijing." Huang Taiji also woke up suddenly, and said loudly.

"Besides, at this time, I dare to conclude that although Li Xin said that he was rescued by King Qin, the advancing speed of the army must be very slow." Fan Wencheng said proudly: "He wants to find an opportunity. If he gets involved earlier, Emperor Chongzhen We will definitely let him have a decisive battle with us, in this way, he will be at a disadvantage, if it is too late, our army will destroy Chongzhen, would it be interesting for him to help the king?"

"You mean we can boldly attack Chongzhen?" Although Huang Taiji felt uncomfortable, he understood that dealing with Li Xin was far more difficult than dealing with other people.

"No, on the contrary, we want to defeat Chongzhen before Li Xin, beat Chongzhen to nothing, and then flatten the city of Beijing in one fell swoop." Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "If we wipe out the city of Beijing, the emperor can either take the emperor with him Order the princes, or just wipe out Zhu Ming's clan, and then withdraw their troops back to the country. The Central Plains will lose their masters. Naturally, those ambitious people in the Central Plains will not give up this opportunity. When the Central Plains is in chaos, Li Xin's troops will also be dragged in the Central Plains. Isn't this our chance? When the Central Plains is about to be killed, the army will take over the Central Plains, so that we can establish the emperor's career."

"It can only be like this." Although Huang Taiji didn't like it very much, there was nothing he could do.He was very angry in his heart, because of the existence of Li Xin, the time for him to take over the Central Plains was delayed indefinitely. What he didn't know was that only the existence of Li Xin would make Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty this It's time to appear in front of him, otherwise, in Huang Taiji's life, he would never have the chance to face Chongzhen.

"However, no matter how much Li Xin delays, we will definitely arrive in Huailai County within 20 days. At that time, we still have to face Li Xin." Dorgon hesitated.

"No, Li Xin will definitely not arrive in Huailai County in 20 days, he will only arrive in [-] days or even less, otherwise, his King Qin will just make the world laugh." After Ning Wan, I shook my head and said .

"Hmph, then let him come, and then let Emperor Chongzhen force him to fight us to death." Duoduo said loudly.

"Shut up, if that's the case, what good will it do us?" Huang Taiji scolded very dissatisfied. It is good to consume Li Xin's strength, but Li Xin is full of tricks, and no one knows whether he has other things. It is undoubtedly unwise to put all hopes on Chongzhen to solve this matter.Huang Taiji did not have this habit.

"Your Majesty is right. Li Xin is a cunning man, and he must have a way to deal with Chongzhen, so I think that Chongzhen should be dealt with as soon as possible, and then capture Beijing." Fan Wencheng said hastily.

"Sir, if you say so, do you already have a plan?" Huang Taiji saw Fan Wencheng's face in his eyes, his heart moved, and he asked curiously.

"The emperor is wise, and I have a plan. Not only can we easily deal with Emperor Chongzhen, but we can even hold Shanhaiguan in our hands." Fan Wencheng said proudly.

"Sir, please tell me." After hearing this, Huang Taiji was very happy and hurriedly urged. Others such as Dorgon, Duoduo, Haoge and others also looked at Fan Wencheng with hopeful eyes, waiting for Fan Wencheng's clever plan.

"Among the Chongzhen Army, the most powerful and most threatening to us is Guan Ning's cavalry. As long as we deal with Guan Ning's cavalry, or even instigate it, things will be much easier." Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"This Zu Dashou, my Dajin has instigated him many times, Zu Dashou is still the same, it may be very difficult to instigate him!" Huang Taiji shook his head and said.Persuading Zu Dashou to surrender, I don't know how many times I have done this kind of thing. A few years ago, at the Daling River, Zu Dashou was at a critical moment. At that time, he failed to persuade Zu Dashou to surrender, let alone now.

"Hey, it's different this time. If Emperor Chongzhen wanted to kill him, why didn't he surrender?" Fan Wencheng said coldly.

"Divorce plan?" Dorgon shook his head after hearing this and said, "I'm afraid it won't work at this time. Even if Emperor Chongzhen doubted Zu Dashou, he might not act until he repelled our army."

"At this time, he has no choice but to act." Fan Wencheng stared at Huang Taiji, and said: "I have found out clearly. Among the generals who will accompany the army this time, Wu Xiang is among them. Hehe, I have also found out clearly. Zu Zerun, the son of Zu Dashou, was also involved in the ironware and intelligence that Wu Xiang brought to us over the years, Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity!"

"You mean to force them?" Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he said loudly.

"We can induce surrender first. If the inducement fails, we can persuade them to surrender. If the persuasion fails, we can force surrender." Fan Wencheng said viciously.His face was gloomy. Although he was dressed in green, he didn't look like a scholar at all, just like a demon.

"At the moment, this is the only way to go. As long as Zu Dashou is forced to surrender, we can defeat Emperor Chongzhen and seize Beijing City in the shortest possible time." Huang Taiji also nodded. It has to be said that this is the best The method, and also the most appropriate method, can accomplish such a goal in the shortest possible time.

On the other side of the river, the camp of the Ming army stretches for dozens of miles. The Emperor Chongzhen's emperor's flag is flying in the wind. With the help of Zu Dashou and others, the Chongzhen camp is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack. These days, Chongzhen's army and Jiannu faced each other across the river, and there were several battles between the two sides, but they all ended in a hurry.However, Chongzhen was very happy, because his goal was finally achieved, that is, to keep Jiannu from the north of the Sanggan River, and the capital was not in any great danger for the time being.More importantly, with the passage of time, armies of Qin Kings from all walks of life have also come, or hundreds, or thousands, especially Lu Xiangsheng abandoned Gao Yingxiang's army and led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to come, which is even more impressive. Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

But the good times didn’t last long. Li Xin’s call to action spread to the world, and the Chongzhen Emperor also received it. Regarding Li Xin’s arrival, the Chongzhen Emperor was angry and furious. Xin occupied Datong, and even Hong Chengchou surrendered to this person.In this way, Shanxi and Shaanxi fell into the hands of Li Xin, which made Emperor Chongzhen very angry.It's just that he still has to deal with Huang Taiji right now, Emperor Chongzhen can only suppress his anger in his heart, and wait until he defeats Huang Taiji before he cares about Li Xin.

"How many horses are there?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng in front of him. Lu Xiangsheng is now dry and thin, with tired eyes. He is very tired these days. In the past, the army spent a lot of money to get rid of Gao Yingxiang. A lot of strength, and more importantly, the internal struggle of the Ming Dynasty. Gao Qiqian had a grudge against him and kept dividing troops, which made him very dissatisfied. After arriving in Daying, Emperor Chongzhen was a self-willed master. Here, I didn't know anything about military affairs, and I interfered in everything. Zu Dashou was very passive, and only the civil servant Lu Xiangsheng persuaded him, which made the army barely maintain its combat effectiveness.

"There are already 20 troops in the camp, which is enough to deal with Jiannu." Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, if the army is here now, if it is enough to resist Jiannu, your majesty is the king of a country. Here, come to the battlefield in person.” Lu Xiangsheng now wished that Emperor Chongzhen would return to the palace immediately, this does not mean that Lu Xiangsheng was not loyal to Chongzhen, on the contrary, he was more loyal to Chongzhen than anyone else, but it was precisely because of his loyalty to Chongzhen that he did not want Chongzhen to stay here.Chongzhen could not fight, nor did he know martial arts. On the contrary, in order to ensure the safety of Chongzhen, he even sent a large army to protect him.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned. He didn't understand the meaning of Lu Xiangsheng's words, but said softly: "I am here to deter the slaves. Why do you think that such a big event, if there is no such a big event? Here, how can we deal with Jiannu? Not to mention anything else, I am here, and at least I can withstand an army of [-]. Look, isn't Jiannu still afraid to attack?"

After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, a wry smile appeared in his heart. This Emperor Chongzhen was really interesting, and he thought he could reach an army of [-].But he still said: "What the emperor said is true. I believe that Jiannu must retreat. Right now, it is only a matter of time. As long as the Duke of Liao's northern conscript army arrives, Jiannu will retreat. Now as long as we hold the Sanggan River, we will The army can defeat Jiannu."

While Lu Xiangsheng was talking, he didn't see that Chongzhen's complexion was getting worse and worse. What kind of person is Emperor Chongzhen? Li Xin, how happy this made him, snorted coldly and said: "Master Lu, it's better to live and settle down the army!"

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and was about to step back, when suddenly the eunuch Wang Chengen came in, he glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, and then whispered something in Chongzhen's ear.

"Bastard, hateful." When Lu Xiangsheng was surprised, he heard Emperor Chongzhen's complexion change drastically, pointing at Wang Chengen and shouting: "Whether he is an officer or a bandit, such a person should be killed. Pass the decree and behead Zu Zerun as a public display."

"Wait." After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's face tightened, and he stopped talking loudly, regardless of the emperor's etiquette, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what happened to make the Emperor so angry?"

"Zu Zerun forcibly snatched the daughters of the people and despised the king's law. Shouldn't he be killed?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng coldly and said, "Why, Master Lu, how do you think such a person should be dealt with?"

"This?" Lu Xiangsheng felt embarrassed when he heard the words, took a breath, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, according to the court's law, Zu Zerun should be beheaded, but, Your Majesty, this person cannot be killed right now." Ah! Although the imperial court has an army of 20, but the emperor, only the Guan Ning cavalry can truly fight. Only the Guan Ning cavalry can fight against Jiannu. When the northern army comes, only the Guan Ning cavalry can deter Li Xin What if Zu Zerun is killed at this time?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Emperor Chongzhen with some worry.

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that Zu Dashou will collude with Jiannu if he dares to rebel?" Emperor Chongzhen said loudly.He claims to love the people like a son, but at this time, the generals under his command actually robbed the women of the people, which greatly damaged his reputation. How can Chongzhen not be angry?
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!" Lu Xiangsheng still said cautiously.He is really worried about the situation of the army. Today's Ming army seems to have a large number of people, but they are not elite after all. Only Guanning cavalry are really called elite. Lu Xiangsheng is not as ignorant as Chongzhen. In Guanning army, the emperor's words Perhaps it is not as effective as Zu Dashou's words. If Zu Zerun is killed, God knows what kind of actions Zu Dashou will make.

"Then according to Aiqing's intention?" Chongzhen thought for a while, and decided to leave the decision on this matter to Lu Xiangsheng.

"Just reprimand it." Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said, "After defeating Jiannu, the emperor will worry about this matter. At this time, the overall situation should be the most important thing!"

"Hmph, Mr. Lu is too careful. Could it be that his ancestor Dashou dared to surrender and become a slave, so that he would end up in a situation that will last forever?" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Forget it! For Ai Qing's sake, pass it on According to the decree, Zu Zerun robs the women of the people by force, thinking that she has done a little service for the country, the death penalty can be avoided, and the death penalty cannot be escaped, and there must be no mistakes in punishing fifty army sticks."
