399 Li Cunxu Second

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition this time was actually under great pressure. The reason was just as others were worried, this battle was not easy to fight.

He had no particular idea for a long time, so he used the trick of rushing the snake to let the snake run out of the grass, and then saw if he could catch the snake.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition was a big fanfare, not a secret as before.

Of course, in addition to the reason for alerting the enemy, there is another very important reason, which made Emperor Chongzhen give up the sneaking like before.

Because this time, the Jianlu army was the main force. The leader was Jiergalang, the more famous among the Qing army. Jianlu was also superb in using spies, and Jiergalang must be very skilled. At least half of their wars were won by this means. What's more, the cause of this war was that the Ming rebellion general Chai Shihua colluded with Jianlu.

If you sneak like before, this time you came out with the Rock Camp, not as easy as the cavalry. And on such a long border line, the traitors of Jianlu would definitely be able to find out the news. Instead of doing this, it would be better to alert the snake.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen has learned in detail about the situation in Guihua City through the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Ying'erdai and Xilin Jueluo.

It is really true that you know yourself and your enemy and you will win every battle.

Emperor Chongzhen only knew the situation in Guihua City, and he had the idea of ​​dealing with Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars.

In the important town of Yulin, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been an important border town for defending grasslands. Therefore, here, you can find relevant information on the grassland, such as the approximate grassland maps. They are all available.

After reading the information of the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Xilin Jueluo, Emperor Chongzhen drew the route Jiergalang believed to be foolproof. After verifying it again, he sealed the map of the route and his decree, and asked the commander of the Jinyiwei to accompany Wu Zhong, to select reliable people, and immediately secretly send it to Datong Prefecture and hand it over to the general Wu Sangui, the general of the aid and suppression.

However, Emperor Chongzhen himself seemed to have no idea that Guihua City was hoping that he would lead his troops to attack Guihua City. He passed on his will and made great efforts to attack Guihua City.

The important town of Yulin suddenly became very lively, and the elite recruited from all walks of life were gathering in Yulin Town. The night from Yulin Town to the grassland was not collected, and they were in and out. There were also food and supplies transferred from nearby prefectures to Yulin Town, truck by truck to transport them to Yulin Town.

No matter who it is, even the common people who have never fought a war, or passers-by, seeing the emperor sitting in Yulin and the army on all sides is so moving, and food and supplies are constantly being transported, everyone knows that the emperor is going to send troops to attack Guihua City.

However, there is one situation that is quite strange, at least in the eyes of the parties involved, it feels strange.

Those troops from all sides who received the emperor's order would receive a verbal secret reminder from the angel: "The draw of elite troops must be cautious, and everything must be arranged properly, and no accidents must occur. It is better to arrive at Yulin Town later than to hurry to Yulin just because the emperor is there."

Generally speaking, when the emperor is here, the generals in the army of each side will definitely not dare to neglect them. They must have drawn elite troops to rush over as soon as they receive the decree. However, the decree that is no longer in the decree seems to have to focus on arranging local affairs before going to Yulin. The focus of this matter seems to be biased!

However, after the oral instructions were made, the generals of the border troops dared not to obey. They could only try their best to arrange everything, check and check again, and rushed to Yulin when they felt that there was no problem.

In this way, those who do not know the oral orders all think that the emperor is really right. He has to arrange his defense after leading the army to fight before he can go out to war. From this, it can be seen that the emperor must go out of the pass to attack Jianlu in Guihua City. However, if he is so cautious, it seems that the speed of gathering the army is slow. At the same time, he also feels that the assembly efficiency of the Ming army is really low.

Many people expressed concern about this situation.

Although the emperor showed his wise and powerful side in the previous few times; but what about this time? Although this approach, although the safety of the rear will be guaranteed after the army set out, the most important thing is not that the army goes out of seclusion to defeat Jianlu? This is the key point!

Such low assembly efficiency has completely lost the principle of war that war is of high speed. Jianlu outside the pass must know and respond. The grassland is not as good as Liaodong. When this army leaves the pass, Jianlu must have run away long ago, hid in the vast grassland, hiding in the dark, harassing and attacking the army. Such a way of dealing with can be thought of with your feet! In this way, how can the emperor deal with it?

The more they thought about it, the more worried the generals and officials on the Ming army were. At first, they thought that the emperor should have his own plans, and with the emperor's wise and magical martial arts, it was impossible for him to see this. However, after waiting for many days, he did not see Emperor Chongzhen issue a new order, but he was still gathering and preparing slowly.

Finally, they were anxious to wait. They remembered that after the emperor ascended the throne for a long time, he did not show any wise and powerful performance. Could it be that the emperor has returned to mediocrity?

There have been many such examples in history. For example, the Later Tang Emperor Li Cunxu led the army to fight, which was invincible and invincible. Later, it was the fate of the reign of the relatives and the death of the country. Could it be that the emperor is the second Li Cunxu now?

Thinking of this, these ministers became really anxious and began to find various opportunities to persuade Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, soldiers are very fast. If you gather so slowly, the news will inevitably be leaked, and it will be unfavorable to fight with the army!"

"Your Majesty, even if you deploy like this, you are not afraid of Jianlu sneaking into the pass. However, the army lost its suddenness when it went to the grassland. Jianlu was prepared for it. If you avoid fighting, how would the army deal with it? What should we do if the food and supplies are exhausted for a day?"

"I beg the emperor to think twice. Now that he has left the city to attack Guihua City, he has no chance of winning. I would like to ask His Majesty to cancel this war."

“…”

Emperor Chongzhen seemed careless about these persuasions and seemed to ignore them. When he was really disturbed, he dealt with them at will.

"I will use you to teach me when I fight? Don't worry, I have my own trick to calm down the enemy!"

"Soldiers are more important than speed. They are just a military strategist. We cannot believe them all. I will do the opposite, and the result must be beyond Jianlu's expectations. This is my tactic of war. Is it wonderful?"

"Since I led the army to fight, I have never lost any wars? Are you so unconfident in my leadership of the army to fight?"

"It's enough, needless to say more, I know everything!"

“…”

Emperor Chongzhen's advice to his ministers was becoming more and more impatient, and even tended to get angry, which made many civil officials and generals a little disappointed.

However, after hearing the emperor's words so confident, they could only take a look. As a result, Emperor Chongzhen simply hid and stopped seeing them, but Yu's military strategy did not change at all.

As a result, many people became worried about Emperor Chongzhen's performance, and felt that something was going to happen to the emperor's personal command this time! Does it really mean that the general will inevitably die in the battle? Or will people become blindly confident after being smart for a long time? Just like Zhuge Liang, there will be a defeat at Jieting?

While they were worried, the news from the Ming army was also spread to Guihua City through Jianlu's meticulous work and horse exploration.

When Ajige heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The dog emperor of Ming Dynasty is just that. You really treat him as the wise and powerful emperor. What a joke!"

What he said was to Ying'erd.

Ying'erdai was a little suspicious, and felt that the performance of the Ming emperor this time was completely different from the performance of the Ming emperor in his impression. Therefore, regardless of Ajige's ridicule, he turned to look at Jirgalang and said seriously: "Your Highness, can the Emperor of Ming be using any conspiracy, right?"

After saying that, he remembered Ajige's ridicule and immediately explained: "It does not mean that the emperor of the country destroyed the Hetao Tumote tribe in one battle. He destroyed more than 10,000 Prince Rui's troops in one battle. This is definitely not something that can be done by luck. Moreover, Mo Jiang has seen him with his own eyes and is definitely a very wise emperor. His eyes that have a clear understanding of people's hearts are still fresh in memory. This Emperor of Ming Dynasty is definitely not a mediocre person!"

"Haha, did you get scared when you were captured by Ming once?" Ajige heard it and laughed unscrupulously, "Don't talk about the useless things in the past. Tell me, what could the Emperor of Ming do on this grassland? When he led the army to attack, the vast grassland could see through what he wanted to do at a glance, and how could he destroy us?"

Although Ajig was right, Jirhalang was cautious by nature and was still a little worried, just as Ying'erd said. After pondering for a while, he said seriously: "Let the detective and other detailed works in the pass not be slackened. Watch the movements of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and report immediately whenever there is any abnormal movement!"

"As for your order, Your Highness!" Ying'erdai thought to himself that the emperor was wise and that he should have Prince Zheng led the army. Otherwise, if Ajige came to lead the army, even if he was deceived by the Emperor of Ming, he would definitely implicate the army.

Ajige on the side did not agree with this. However, Jirgalang was the head coach, so Ajige didn't care if he issued this military order. Seeing that his performance was much easier, he almost said it directly.

Jirgalang still frowned. He was a little confused about the actions of the Emperor of Ming. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been like this. Maybe something was going to happen. Therefore, in addition to ordering to inquire about the movements of the Ming army, he also passed on new military orders.

First, the Guihua City should speed up its movements and be prepared to evacuate at any time. All materials, food, grass, etc., should be taken away, and you must never leave a little bit of it for the Ming army. Use the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to prevent the Ming army from getting any supplies on the grassland.

Second, we urgently ordered all Mongolian tribes, who had not yet drawn elite troops to Guihua City, to urge them to urge them to do so. Those who had not arrived before the deadline were not allowed to follow the Qing Dynasty's orders and intend to rebel, and the clan was destroyed and killed without mercy.

Jirgalang believed that as long as he was prepared, he could start a war at any time. In this way, with the buffering of the grassland, no matter how many troubles the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had, I believe that he would not succeed.

So his military orders immediately began to be implemented in the most severe way.

There was a lot of noise in Guihua City. All food, grass, supplies, etc. were loaded into cars and could leave at any time. Cattle, horses, sheep, etc. were also transferred to the foot of the green mountains and could also stay away from Guihua City at any time. The farmland outside Guihua City was no longer cared for, and they were prepared to destroy it at any time.

The Jianlu army, including the elite Mongolian tribes who arrived under the order, could not take off their armor or horses. Under such a strong battle, it would be clear that the Emperor of Ming could do anything. Even if he sent 20,000 Ming cavalry to deceive the secrets of the pass, or dared to raid Guihua City before sending the news from within the pass, Jiergalang was sure that he could get nothing at the first time and could only get an empty city.

Haha, the move of the General of the Cavalry in the history of the Ming Dynasty was useless to the Qing Dynasty!

Jiergalang had a vague guess in his heart that the Emperor of Ming wanted to use this move. On the surface, he slowly assembled to paralyze himself, but in fact he used the cavalry as the vanguard and followed up with the infantry. Isn’t there a call from the imperial guards of the Emperor of Ming? From this, it can be seen that the Emperor of Ming had ideas about the general of the Cavalry, and he might have done this trick.

Therefore, although the Ming army in Yulin Town and the Jianlu and Mongolian coalition forces in Guihua City have not started a war, the confrontation between the two sides has already begun.

Jirgalang didn't know that after Emperor Chongzhen found out about these ways of dealing with him, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that Jirgalang was really obedient and had to do what he thought. Yes, if he started to doubt for a while, he could continue to add materials.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen secretly decided in his heart that Wu Sangui would almost succeed, right?

…………

Besides, Wu Sangui, the general of the aid and suppression, was shocked when he suddenly received the secret order from Emperor Chongzhen. He was a little confused about why the emperor could get the route map for Jianlu to escort the population and materials back to Liaodong, and even explained who led the army and how much troops were. Such detailed military information was probably only known by the senior management of Jianlu? Could it be that the senior management of Jianlu had the emperor's spies?
