At the foot of the Table Mountain, the Ponu Army attacked the camp. Chen Po's army was welcomed by Chen Po's deputy commander of the Ponu Army. The Wu Tianxing army, who had set up camp here earlier, was able to strengthen its military strength. This battle against the remnants of Tumote, Mongolia, was a very strange political battle fought by Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Ponu Army. Through this battle, Zhang Dashang conveyed two news to the outside world. First, the Ponu Army is no longer bound by the Ming court, and no longer acted on the face of Emperor Chongzhen; second, it was to test the Ming court's reaction to this matter, and third, it sent a message to Jiannu, that our main force of the Ponu Army wiped out the Mongolian Tumote Khan's army in Shaanxi. Zhang Dashang wanted to use this news to seduce Jiannu to the Ming territory and implement his next strategic plan.

This time, Chen Pang, deputy commander of the Pou Nu Army, led an assistant to the headquarters, a assistant to the Tianxiong Camp of Luo Tian, ​​and a 27,000 Jinlang Camp, as well as 16,000 cavalry of Wu Tianxing, formed a large army of attacking Tumot Khan in Mongolia. According to the order of Zhang Damao Zhang, the head general of the attacking Tumot Khan in Mongolia was Luo Tian, ​​the head general of the Tianxiong Camp, and the deputy commander Chen Pang and the commander Wu Tianxing were responsible for teaching Luo Tian to fight on the battlefield. After all, Luo Tian still lacked the experience of commanding the army in actual combat. With these two veterans to protect him, Luo Tian would not make any major mistakes in military arrangements. Zhang Ping'an, the head general of the Pou Nu Army, also had a plan to let the Jinlang Camp of Gui's Kidhan in actual combat, so that these future war soldiers could grow as soon as possible.

Luo Tian, ​​the new leader of the Tianxiong Camp, was not high enough, but was only a third-class deputy commander, but was attracted by General Zhang as the head of Tianxiong Camp. In addition to Luo Tiangen and Miaozheng's origin, Lu Xiangsheng, the former leader of Tianxiong Camp, was also optimistic about Luo Tian's potential to lead troops. The Ponu Army, which entered the offensive front, held a military discussion after receiving the latest intelligence distributed by the Tumot Khan's troops in Shaanxi from the Intelligence Department and the Detective Office. Luo Tian was a staff officer in the General Staff Department and had been with General Zhang for many years. His map operations were much better than Deputy Commander Chen Poe and Commander Wu Tianxing. He proposed the combat strategy against the Mongolian Tumot Khan's troops, using the clamp-type offensive tactics to eliminate the Mongols in the encirclement of the Ponu Army as soon as possible.

Regarding Luo Tian's plan, Chen Pang smiled and said that Luo Tian had the shadow of Zhang Dashi, but Chen Pang did not fully agree with Luo Tian's military arrangements. Although Luo Tian's troops were very similar to Zhang Dashi's fighting style, it did not conform to Zhang Dashi's political strategy. As the deputy general of the Slave Army, Chen Pang knew all the military arrangements of Zhang Ping'an. The purpose of Zhang Dashi's pretending to be seriously injured was mainly aimed at the main force of the Qing Dynasty. However, this strategy did not continue, mainly Wu Tianxing and Lu Deyin jumped up and down to disrupt Zhang Dashi's entire strategy. If only Wu Tianxing was making trouble, Zhang Dashi might continue to pretend to be sick, so that Lu Deyin could agree with Wu Tianxing's nonsense behavior to continue, and Zhang Ping'an would have to kill the two of them in the end.

Lu Deyin is the brother Zhang Ping'an valued the most. It is true that Zhang Dashuai is cruel and ruthless, but he has a merciless side to the brothers who follow him to raise their troops. He hopes that these old brothers will have a good end in his heart, and does not want his hands to be stained with the blood of his brothers. While Zhang Ping'an showed up to calm Wu Tianxing and Lu Deyin's fuss, the military attempt of the Qing Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty also stopped. The main forces of the Qing Dynasty gathered on the Jinning defense line to watch the news of the Po Slave Army. Therefore, the military battle of the Po Slave Army in Shaanxi must have a long combat process, allowing the main forces of the Qing Dynasty who had already emerged to enter the Ming Dynasty with confidence and boldness.

In this way, Zhang Ping'an's military arrangement to annihilate the main force of the Qing Dynasty can effectively implement it. Delaying the attack on the Tumot Khan's army in Mongolia, Zhang Ping'an had another strategic consideration, that is, to create an opportunity for the new Shaanxi Bandit Suppression Governor Lu Xiangsheng to reorganize the army. According to the intelligence department's intelligence, after Lu Xiangsheng received 200,000 shi of grain support from the "Yi Shang" in Datong, Lu Xiangsheng, who had money and food, quickly pulled out an army of 16,000 people. Lu Xiangsheng was a man who knew how to adapt. According to the habit of conscription of the Slave Army and the tradition of the Ming Dynasty's official army, he selected 8,000 war soldiers and 500 clans, and the remaining people were all turned into auxiliary soldiers and Tianxiong Camp to supplement the source of troops at any time. The 500 veterans of the Slave Army who followed Lu Xiangsheng to the Ming Dynasty naturally became officers and personal guards of the Tianxiong Camp in Lu Xiangsheng's army. With the help of these veterans, Tianxiong Camp could form combat power in a very short time.

This time, the Po Slave Army's battle against Tumot Khan's army can attract the main force of the Break Army to concentrate on the Po Slave Army. In this way, Lu Xiangsheng's army can use various breaking tactics to annihilate the main force of the Break Army. In Zhang Ping'an's earliest plan, as long as the Po Slave Army stayed in the Ningxia Guards in Shaanxi, the main force of the Break Army would not dare to go south easily to deal with Lu Xiang Sheng Tianxiong Camp. The combat strategy of Zhang Dashi showed that it was to help his old brother Lu Xiangsheng, and attracted the attention of the Qing Dynasty, and concealed the strategic attempt for the army led by Li Chen, who hid in the northwest of the Killanggou. Chen Po was deeply impressed by the strategy of Zhang Dashi's opening a fake battlefield in Shaanxi and attracting the main force of the Qing Dynasty thousands of miles away.

However, Marshal Zhang's plans were too large and dark enough to show others. Chen Pearl could only find a way to fill in Luo Tian's military arrangement. In the end, Chen Pearl made a decision. Luo Tian's arrangement was unchanged, but he first drove the remnants of Mongolia's Tumote to the northern part of Ningxia Guard, and the last one was wiped out without missing a trace. Although Wu Tianxing and Luo Tian did not understand Chen Pearl's idea of ​​the battle, Chen Pearl, as the deputy commander of the Slave Army, was responsible for the entire battle. They could only have the right to suggest the combat strategy he set.

.........

The capital is clear in October, and the warm breeze contains cool air that indicates winter is coming. The Yanshan Mountains are slightly stern and the golden red crisscrossing, and the beacon towers at Gubeikou are full of beacons. The 300,000 Jiannu army approaches the Ming border again. Originally, the court was still condemning the evil deeds of the Ponu Army entering the pass without an imperial edict. The border police turned the eyes of the officials of the court to the eastern border. Less than a month ago, the Ponu Army suddenly entered the pass without any warning. After entering the pass, the Ponu Army divided into two groups to quickly clear the remnants of the Mongolian Tumote in the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving this urgent military information, Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, summoned Zheng Tai, the head of the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy, and denounced Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponucheng, for rebellion and rebellion. However, Zheng Tai was not a good man. He took out the memorial of Ponucheng Zhang Ping'an to accuse Sun Chengzong of the crime. After seeing Zhang Ping'an's memorial, Sun Chengzong almost tore up the extremely shameless memorial. Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponucheng, said in the memorial that because he was unconscious for several months after being assassinated, the army of Ponu lost his command and fell into extreme chaos after losing his command. In order to quell the rebellion within the territory of Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy, he had to launch a war to resolve internal conflicts.

Zhang Ping'an also blamed the war behavior of the Ponu Army in Ningxia on the Ming Dynasty, saying that it was a transaction site closed by the court, and the Ponu Army soldiers had difficulty in survival. Now the Ponu Army soldiers have fallen into a miserable situation of looting and making a living. He said that the most hateful person in the Ming Dynasty was the group of Ming traitors who did not recognize their ancestors, especially the remnants of the eunuch party. This time, almost all the assassins sent by Jiannu were the remnants of the eunuch party in the Jinyiwei. Zhang Ping'an also thoughtfully warned Emperor Chongzhen to be careful of the eunuch party launching the assassination of the emperor. Zhang Ping'an pointed at the mulberry and scolded the locust in the memorial, which made Sun Chengzong both helpless and angry. Zhang Ping'an obviously knew the entire process of the assassination, and secretly mocked Emperor Chongzhen for using methods.

Although Sun Chengzong was not clear about the entire story of the assassination of Zhang Ping'an, as a veteran in the officialdom, he could guess the relationship between Emperor Chongzhen and this matter based on his intuition. These were not the most important things. He faintly noticed the urgency of Jiannu's invasion from the memorial of the young fox Zhang Ping'an. While Sun Chengzong asked Zheng Tai to submit the memorial of Ponuhou to the Ministry of Rites according to the rules, he wrote a memorial of Jiannu's invasion to be imminent on Emperor Chongzhen. When Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian received the memorial of Ponuhou explaining the memorial of Ponuhou to the pass, he was immediately excited and burst into tears. What is the Jinyiwei doing? It seems that Ponuhou, the dog, grabbed the handle of the Jinyiwei.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen could have issued an edict to reprimand the Ultimate behavior of the Ponu Army, but this memorial from Ponu Hou gave Zhu Youjian a heavy blow. Emperor Chongzhen guessed that Ponu Hou must have a lot of handles in his hand, and he did not dare to ask Luo Yangxing about this matter, otherwise his charge of instructing the Jinyiwei to assassinate the nobles would be completely confirmed. Zhu Youjian was extremely angry after sitting behind the desk, and he had to resolve the problem that Ponu Hou had. In fact, it was not difficult to resolve the problem that Ponu Hou had. Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War, gave the direction to solve the problem, which was to divert the attention of the court officials and focus on Jiannu, who was about to invade the Ming Dynasty.

So when the court discussed, Emperor Chongzhen did not mention the incident of the Pou Nu Army entering the pass to attack the Mongols. The court discussed how to deal with the major incident of the Jiannu invasion. At this point, Zhang Ping'an successfully tested Emperor Chongzhen's bottom line, which made Zhang Ping'an clearly see the weakness of Emperor Chongzhen. In the capital where the storm was about to come, there were all kinds of news about the Jiannu invasion everywhere. The rich and wealthy people fled south, and they wanted to stay away from the capital, a city of war. The court issued an edict to serve the king and mobilized the troops around Zhili to enter the capital to serve the king. At this time, the officials of the Ming court suddenly realized that it was still beneficial to the Pou Nu Army entering the pass to attack the Mongols. At least the thieves in Shaanxi dared not move easily because the Pou Nu Army was approaching the border.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty could mobilize the border troops of Taiyuan and Datong to serve the king, and the elite cavalry of Wanquandusi were naturally in the scope of recruitment. Similarly, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to transfer the army of Ponu to Beijing to serve the king. Zhu Youjian speculated according to the memorial of Ponu Hou Zhang Ping'an, the Ponu Hou, which had a very prejudice against the Ming Dynasty, would only add to the insult to the insult to the King and would not serve the king at this time. Sure enough, after the King's Imperial Imperial Imperial to the Ponu City Xuanwei Envoy stationed in the Beijing yamen, Zheng Tai replied on behalf of Ponu Hou that this matter must be reported urgently to the loyal minister of Ponu Hou, and there would be no following. Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, was already busy at this time. The army of troops coming to serve the king from all over the country had reached 300,000 people, and he was asking for food and grass everywhere to drive out silver. What was sad was that Sun Chengzong had no food and silver in his hands.
