~~~~~~

In the evening, the forward sentry sent back news that the main force of the Jin army did not enter Tongzhou City, but diverted directly to the northeast, headed for Sanhe and Pinggu, and evacuated hurriedly.

Governor Yuan's heart, which had been in suspense, finally relaxed a little.

Although I don't understand why Huang Taiji withdrew his troops at this time, this is already good news for the Ming Dynasty and for his Governor Yuan.

Although the process of this battle in the capital was a bit...somewhat unsightly, overall, it achieved the goal of Governor Yuan, and the ending was considered perfect.

Regardless of all aspects, he, Inspector Yuan, has given an explanation.

After thinking about it carefully again and making sure that there were no mistakes in all aspects, Commander Yuan then ordered his personal commander, "Report victory to the city!"

…………

The news that the main force of the Jin Army had withdrawn quickly spread throughout the capital like the wind.

The people immediately rejoiced, singing and dancing, like a large dark cloud hanging above their heads, which finally dissipated.

Emperor Chongzhen was also extremely happy.

Governor Yuan finally did not disappoint him, which also proved that his employment and vision were not wrong.

Even though the whole process was a little worrying, the Tatars withdrew their troops, and the emperor was able to give an explanation to all aspects.

Is there a more ideal ending than this?

That night, Emperor Chongzhen held a banquet in the palace and personally entertained and encouraged Governor Yuan. The next day, after it was confirmed that the main force of the Jin army had completely withdrawn, Emperor Chongzhen held a grand banquet in the palace and personally entertained a number of meritorious generals and groups.

Ministers and officials.

For a time, the entire capital was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing, the real initiator of this great situation, was carrying a large force of nearly 100,000 people and trudging through the vast mountains in the northern part of Ji Town.

Nearly 70,000 Han slaves gathered in the mountains, and gathered 3,000 to 4,000 fleeing common people. Together with the sons of the Changsheng Camp and Chen Zhong's tribe, the team had already exceeded 100,000 people.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing was not short of manpower, food and grass, and money, the affairs of these common people were very complicated, especially the large number of female dependents, more than 40,000 to 50,000, and the Tatars controlled them.

, their food has been restricted to a limited time, which also makes most of their bodies very weak.

If you want to travel quickly, it is simply impossible.

In less than two days, the main force of the rear team, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, had caught up with the main force of the front team, which had set off seven or eight days in advance.

At this time, they had just walked out of Hanerzhuang, less than 150 miles away, and were resting in a stretching valley.

Even Chen Zhong, who had always been optimistic, couldn't help but frown tightly. He pulled Li Yuanqing into the open space and whispered: "Yuan Qing, this is not going to work. We can't walk fast at all, let alone find an official."

Let's go to Yongping. In this state, if the Tatars discover our traces, we won't even be able to resist."

Li Yuanqing had already recovered a lot by this time.

Comparing speed with the Hou Jin army is like a race between a tortoise and a hare. Even if the hare really takes a nap and sleeps on the road, the tortoise will never really beat the hare.

After all, this is not a 100-meter dash, but a long marathon.

"Haha, brother. I have a new idea about this matter."

Li Yuanqing smiled, pointed at the stretching valley and said, "Brother, what do you think the terrain is like here? I want to camp here. Let's live here for a month or two first."

"Well?"

Chen Zhong couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment, he also caught Li Yuanqing's intention and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, you, you mean..."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother, we are tortoises, and the Tatars are rabbits. How can we turtles outrun the Tatars and rabbits? Instead, we might as well stabilize the position and see if Huang Taiji dares to attack!"

At this time, Chen Zhong fully understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, wonderful! Wonderful! If this is the case, we don't have to work so hard! The Dog Tatars must withdraw their troops during this trip. Their

The population is larger than ours. Presumably, Huang Taiji, a bastard, is also eager to get the meat into his belly. Let alone a month, I estimate that the results will be available in less than half a month!"

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Brother, that's exactly it. Taking advantage of this time, we can also think carefully about how to deal with it in the next step!"

…………

With the help of Li Changshui, an old bandit, the engineers and soldiers quickly drew a detailed sand table of the surrounding area.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can also arrange defenses based on the topography in more detail.

Although Jibei is barren, its natural scenery is still good. Most of the mountains are covered with forest vegetation. At least, most of the sunny sides of the slopes are densely covered with trees.

There is no shortage of water in the valley.

There is water, wood and firewood, and a large amount of food and grass looted by the Jin army. Even if Li Yuanqing and his party live in this valley for half a year or most of the year, let alone three or two months, there will be no problems.

However, Li Yuanqing handed over the main defense work to Chen Zhong, and Li Yuanqing spent most of his energy on appeasing these people.

In a flash, the time has come to the end of mid-April, and the main force of Huang Taiji has arrived in the Hanerzhuang area.

Standing on the high city wall of Hanerzhuang, Huang Taiji looked down at the vast ravine to the east.

At this time, spring has completely begun.

Although the weather is still a little cold, the green in the mountains and fields is emerging in layers.

Looking at it from this angle, the entire scenery is much more eye-catching than when Huang Taiji came, full of vitality, and no longer feels so desolate.

Daishan, Manggurtai, Abatai, Ajige, Yuetuo, Hauge, Tanbai, Aobai and other dignitaries from the royal family of the Later Jin Dynasty were carefully accompanying Huang Taiji.

At this time, the main force of Daikin entered the customs. If there was no harassment from Li Yuanqing, it could definitely be said to be perfect and make a lot of money.

pity.

Li Yuanqing first defeated Azige and then Hanerzhuang. Not only did he take away more than 30% of Dajin's income from entering the customs, he also killed and captured nearly 5,000 Dajin warriors.

this……

This made Hou Jinjun's trip into the customs, although it looked beautiful, it was inadvertently cast a layer of unspeakable clouds.

"Great Khan, Li Yuanqing is now camping in a valley more than a hundred miles away from Hanerzhuang. His goal is very clear now, I'm afraid~, he just wants to get rid of us first."

Dai Shan carefully looked at Huang Taiji's face and reported respectfully.

As the second legitimate son of Lao Nu, and the de facto leader of the four Baylors, Daishan's foundation is much deeper than that of Huang Taiji.

Even~, including Mang Gurtai, Mang Guji's biological mother Fucha, Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo's biological mother Abahai, more or less, all had an affair with Daishan.

In the end, Fucha was directly killed by Mang Gurtai himself, because Mang Gurtai felt that his mother's behavior... damaged his honor.

Although the incident passed calmly in the end, it was precisely because of this incident that Mang Gurtai lost the right to inherit the Khan throne.

Abahai, on the other hand, is much smarter than Fucha. She wants to use Yue Tuo's influence to pave the way for her three precious sons.

But she never thought that the old Eight Emperor Tai Chi would not accept her trick.

In the end, she was forced to die for the old slave and passed away.

As a witness to many of these incidents, how could Daishan not understand Huang Taiji's methods?

This eighth brother of his... is simply eating people without spitting out their bones...

Huang Taiji glanced at Daishan.

Daishan hurriedly lowered his head humbly, extremely respectful.

Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Daishan's attitude, nodded slowly and said, "What do you think, second brother?"

Dai Shan had already thought about it, and hurriedly bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Great Khan, in my opinion, we should not get too entangled with Li Yuanqing on this matter, and let it go as soon as it's okay. The mountains and forests are layered on top of each other, and the environment is extremely harsh.

It is difficult for our Daikin war horses to penetrate deeply. Furthermore, Li Yuanqing has been operating in it for almost ten days. Presumably, the defense is complete."

Huang Taiji was still waiting for Daishan's next words, but found that Daishan had already closed his mouth knowingly.

For a moment, Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile lightly, "Lao Er is becoming more and more well-behaved."

"Fifth brother, seventh brother, Yue Tuo, what do you have in mind?"

Huang Taiji looked at Mang Gurtai, Abatai and Yue Tuo.

How could Mang Gurtai stir up trouble at this time? He was still looking forward to going back quickly and digesting the wealth and slaves he could get into his stomach as soon as possible.

He hurriedly said respectfully: "Great Khan, I also agree with my second brother's thinking. The warriors have been out for almost two months, and they are really tired. Li Yuanqing is a cunning, cunning and vicious man. We don't need to commit such a crime with him at this time."

Liangzi."

Huang Taiji nodded and looked at Abatai again.

Abatai had already made plans and said respectfully: "Great Khan, I also agree to withdraw the troops and leave the customs."

Yue Tuo would not oppose his father any more, so he quickly said: "It's a big sweat, and so is my slave."

Huang Taiji nodded and slowly exhaled, "Li Yuanqing is really hateful. However, since everyone agrees to withdraw the troops, then~, let's withdraw the troops! But~."

Huang Taiji suddenly sneered slightly, "Even if we want to leave, we can never let Li Yuanqing take it easy!"

…………

Early in the morning on April 20, the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally commanded the main force of the Hou Jin Dynasty and left the customs at Longjing Pass.

But~, he obviously wanted to give Li Yuanqing some eye drops, so he ordered Abatai and Yue Tuo to lead more than a dozen Niu Lu's elite infantrymen and penetrated fifty-six miles into the mountains and forests to the east. They had done enough to feign an attack on Li Yuanqing's camp.

appearance.

It was not until April 30th that the main force of the Hou Jin Army had completely left the border. Abatai and Yue Tuo quickly packed their bags and ran away in a hurry, for fear that Li Yuanqing would notice their mistake.

After Abatai and Yue Tuo withdrew their troops, the sentinels from various ministries relayed the news back to Li Yuanqing's temporary tent as soon as possible.

Chen Zhong couldn't help but spit out, "Fuck Huang Taiji! Yuan Qing, we should have guessed this a long time ago. This bastard must have no good intentions! Yuan Qing, look at what happened...

We were actually deceived by this stupid empty city plan! This tone is so unpleasant! Damn it!"

Seeing that Chen Zhong was about to get angry, Li Yuanqing smiled faintly: "Brother, please be patient. We have a lot of money and meat on this matter, why should we care about it like this? We let Huang Taiji eat so much

It’s a big dumb shame, if you don’t let him return some, how can this guy be willing to come out of seclusion obediently?”

"Well?"

Chen Zhong was stunned and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, you, have you guessed a long time ago that this is a cover-up trick of the fat pig Huang Taiji?"
Chapter completed!
