Beiping Prefecture
Li Zan had someone prepare a map, hang it on the screen with a small official, and muttered: "From the current intelligence, the Jurchens have mobilized an overwhelming number of troops, and the Eight Banners have all their elites, while the slave chiefs have led 40,000 to 50,000 troops in Datong and Yongning. Hou is facing a confrontation, and the ones coming to attack this time are the two red banners of Hauge and Yue Tuo and his son, as well as the soldiers and horses of Inner Khalkha and Horqin Mongolia. They have joined forces in Changping and may want to capture our city of Beiping."
At this moment, there are 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses in Peiping, mainly 33,000 soldiers and horses of Beiping Dusi, 20,000 cavalry of Kang Hong, and 15,000 soldiers and horses of Ji Town.
In the follow-up, Baoding and Shandong are obviously also sending more troops to Peiping for reinforcements.
In addition, there are the township warriors in the counties of Beiping Prefecture. The previous township warriors in Changping County caused some trouble to the Jurchens.
But it did not cause substantial obstacles.
Just as the generals were making plans, news came from the general outside, saying: "Report, enemy attack!"
After a preliminary rest and recuperation, Hauge and his son Yue Tuo led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Beiping Fucheng. After a short rest and recuperation, they sent a group of elite troops to prepare to attack Fucheng before the Han army could react.
Peking was the former capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although the city was majestic and tall, it was also known as the seven outer gates, inner nine emperors and four gates because the city wall was too wide. On the long city wall, after the troops and horses were divided, the military strength was somewhat stretched.
At this moment, Li Zan has assigned a large number of generals to guard Yongding Gate, Zuo'an Gate, You'an Gate... and other seven gates.
Beside a hill five miles away from Guang'an Gate, inside the military tent, the Jurchen generals were sitting on chairs, quietly listening to the discussions of several banner leaders.
Hauge and Yue Tuan were talking to Daishan and Du Du, as well as a capital commander and two deputy capital commanders from Zhenghongqi.
Prince Li Daishan was nearly seventy years old, quite tall, with a slightly fat face and gray hair. In fact, Huang Taiji wanted Daishan to stay in Shengjing, but Daishan heard about the conquest of the Han Dynasty and insisted. Ask Huang Taiji to fight.
So Huang Taiji asked Du Du as his deputy to lead the troops together. Du Du was actually in charge of marching and setting up camp.
"Uncle, the city of Beiping is easy to attack and difficult to defend. As long as our army attacks with all its strength, we will surely capture this city," Hauge said.
If he leads the troops to capture Beiping Fucheng, this former capital of the Ming Dynasty will fall into the hands of the Qing Dynasty and become a springboard for the Central Plains.
Daishan thought for a moment on his old face, and said in a calm voice: "It's not that easy. Our army is small. Even if we capture the city of Beiping, the entire northern army of the Han Dynasty will rush to Beiping to help. It would be unwise to get stuck here. "
At this moment, Daishan and Haoge have not received news of the defeat of Li Guohan, Tong Tulai and others. If they hear the news of the defeat, they are afraid that they will look for an opportunity to escape after a robbery.
In fact, the Jurchens at this time were not as convenient as those at the end of the Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space, because the Han Dynasty did not have the Xiaoqiang rebellion like Li Chuang.
Hauge said in a loud voice: "Uncle, it is a good thing to capture Beiping Fucheng after all. It can also wash away the humiliation of Prince Zheng's defeat."
As time passed, the truth that the blue banner led by Jierharang was defeated by the Han army could no longer be concealed. Hauge and Yue Tuo, as well as the subordinates and ordinary bannermen below, all knew that Jierhalan was defeated by the Han army. The flag soldiers led by Lang were destroyed in the first battle.
After breaking through Juyong Pass, the sluggish morale of the Qing army recovered slightly. After breaking through Changping City, Hauge ordered not to seal the sword for a day.
Hauge said: "Uncle, we have tried it out first. After a day of rest tonight, we will attack the city tomorrow."
In the evening, a deputy general who went to test the situation and returned said: "Your Majesty, the Han army is on guard. There are many troops on the city."
Dai Shan said: "This city is not easy to attack. We have suffered a lot of losses in Xuanhua City before. It is better to follow the old practice and destroy the counties around Beiping Fucheng, seize the men, women, children and property, and lead the troops out of the customs."
Every time the Jurchens entered the pass, they would rob the Han people, livestock, women and children. It was through bloodletting again and again that Liaodong gradually became more populous and prosperous day by day in these years.
Hauge looked slightly anxious and called: "Uncle."
At this time, Yue Tuo's loyal face showed a thoughtful look, and he said: "We might as well attack the city first tomorrow. The Han army will definitely support us, and we will then besiege the city for reinforcements."
Du Du nodded and said: "This method is safer. The Han army is besieging the city of Beiping. Reinforcements from various provinces will definitely come to help. They will march forward and backward, and we will annihilate them one after another."
This is what Nurhachi said at the beginning: He only counts the number of ways to come, and I only go all the way.
In essence, it is still more to defeat the less, the strong to defeat the weak, and annihilate the enemy in mobile warfare.
Dai Shan nodded and said: "We are not limited to gains and losses in one place or one city. As long as we annihilate the Han army, we will have no worries in traveling freely here."
On the second day after the Jurchens drove their troops to the gates of Peking City, and after a preliminary test, it was bright and clear. At dawn, the Qing army attacked the Han army on the city from Guang'an Gate, the outer gate of Beiping City. A large number of flags and banners were visible. Preface, prepare siege equipment, and besiege the city.
"Woooo..."
The desolate sound of the trumpet sounded from the turret, awakening the sleeping city of Beiping. Many civilians poured out of the streets and alleys. Under the organization of the Beiping prefect, they climbed to the city to assist the government and army in defending the city.
"Rumble..."
The Folan cannon on the city wall roared loudly, smoke filled the air, and screams were heard where the shells landed.
The attack and defense of Beiping Fucheng has begun!
…
…
Shenjing City
A few days ago, due to the fall of Juyongguan, public opinion in the entire Shenjing City was boiling. Concubine Nan'an went to Rongguo Mansion to scare Jia Mu. Jia Mu yawned a few times and ignored her. Concubine Nan'an was secretly resentful, but she also Nothing can be done.
On this day, news of the fall of Changping reached Beijing again.
After the Jurchens broke through the city, they continued to kill innocent people indiscriminately, including women and children. Such tragic news spread to Shenjing. With the help of thoughtful people, there was an undercurrent of public opinion blaming the general Jia Heng. It has also been circulating on the streets of Shinkyo recently.
After all, more than half a month has passed since Jia Heng won a great victory on the grassland outside Datong Town. The original excitement of setting off firecrackers to celebrate after the great victory has gradually dissipated. Instead, Jia Heng only protects the victory and does not divide the troops. The accusations of rescuing Jizhen and Beiping defense zones.
At this moment, Prince Chu’s Mansion
The King of Chu dragged his tired body into the hall, sat down on a Taishi chair, took the tea delivered by the servant, lowered his head and took a sip, placed the tea cup on the small table next to his hand, closed his eyes and rested.
The young king's face was full of fatigue and fatigue.
The King of Chu had just escorted a batch of ordnance and baggage to Taiyuan City, and then returned to Shenjing non-stop day and night, preparing to escort another batch of ordnance to Datong.
The attack and defense of Xuanda Town during this period consumed countless arrows and weapons. As the Minister of War, the King of Chu also had a hard time escorting ordnance to replenish the army.
At this time, Prince Palace Chief Shi Liao Xian came in from outside, saluted the young man who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair with his eyes closed, and said, "Your Majesty, did you call me?"
King Chu opened his eyes, his eyes obviously bloodshot, and asked: "Is there any recent news in the capital? When I entered the city, why were everyone talking about the fall of Changping and the danger of the city of Beiping?"
Although the Chen-Han Dynasty did not make Peiping the capital after the Ming Dynasty after the founding of the country, as the capital of the previous dynasty, it had different political significance to the Han court.
A look of sadness appeared on Liao Xian's face, and his voice became a little deeper unconsciously: "Your Majesty, Changping fell into the enemy's hands not long ago. The Jurchen Tatars were so mad that they sacrificed butcher's knives. Many women and children died under the butcher's knives of the Tatars. Now in the capital The people are furious."
King Chu was silent for a moment, with a flash of doubt in his eyes, and said: "The Marquis Yongning is in Datong. Didn't he just win a battle not long ago? What's going on over there in Changping?"
Liao Xian said: "Back to my lord, the Yongning Marquis governor of Xuanda was stationed in Datong. Therefore, there was no tragedy in the destruction of the city on the part of Xuanda. However, the soldiers and horses who originally besieged Xuanhua diverted their troops and broke through Juyong Pass, causing a tragedy in Changping. It is said that the imperial censor in the capital has prepared for it." I impeached Xie Zaiyi, who took over the Xuanfu on behalf of Jiang Quan, and allowed the enemy to escape, stormed the passes, and plundered the Han territory."
Because Jia Heng had previously defeated the elite of the Jurchen headquarters and had just won a big victory, and he was in Datong, some censors had no way of impeaching him.
However, Xie Zaiyi sat in Xuanhua City with tens of thousands of troops but sat back and watched most of the Jurchen elites raid from elsewhere. He must be held responsible for this.
When the King of Chu heard this, he sighed and said: "The war at the border is raging, and those officials and ministers are sitting in the rear talking empty-handed, waiting for the war to go wrong before attacking and restraining them. It's really boring."
Liao Xian's expression changed slightly and reminded him: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."
"I just sighed casually." King Chu's face paused and sighed: "I'm afraid this war will have to go to March."
Liao Xian said: "The military-state struggle cannot be decided overnight. If the Jurchens besiege Peiping, if we go by the past, I'm afraid it will take two months to plunder."
The King of Chu frowned and asked, "If Marquis Yongning doesn't have elite soldiers under his command, why don't you send troops to help?"
"The last time we won, we won with more than with less. Some people in the capital said that Marquis Yongning was lucky enough to win the first battle. Even if he didn't ask for credit after that, holding on was still a big achievement. Now he is sending troops to help rashly. If he loses his troops, he will lose his general. , On the contrary, it is a great loss of dignity. Instead of doing this, it is better to let the enemy plunder." Liao Xian said.
In fact, these remarks cannot be wrong, because after Jia Heng annihilated the Jurchen Xianglan Banner, this kind of credit can basically be credited, if there is no subsequent defeat.
The King of Chu frowned and said, "It's pure nonsense and heart-wrenching talk."
Liao Xian said: "There have been a lot of such heart-wrenching remarks and rumors in Beijing recently. Juyongguan has been broken recently. There have been a lot of indignation and injustice in the public opinion in Shilin in Beijing recently."
The King of Chu looked silent for a moment and did not mention this matter. Instead, he asked Liao Xian about other matters and then sent him away.
"Your Majesty."
Suddenly, with the sound of jingling rings, a beauty wearing a green skirt and a bun with pink temples lifted the curtain and entered the hall.
The beauty's eyebrows are picturesque, but the clear eyes under the curved eyebrows have an indescribable melancholy. Under the nose, the lips are like cherries, but the cheeks are pale and soft, which makes people feel shocked and pity at the first sight. Heart.
King Chu looked at the visitor and said, "Concubine Liu, why are you here?"
Concubine Liu is the daughter of Liu Zheng, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. She comes from a scholarly family. She has a quiet face, a graceful figure, and a soft temperament.
Due to several miscarriages, her body is weak and she has a frail and delicate look when she walks.
"I heard from my servant that the prince is back, so come and take a look." Concubine Liu said softly with a smile on her face, came behind King Chu, gently squeezed King Chu's shoulder, and asked: "Your Majesty, this time Come back, do you still want to go?”
"I have to go again. I don't know how long it will take for this war to end." King Chu gently put a hand on his shoulder, grabbed Concubine Liu's hand, and said, "I have suffered a lot during this time. .”
"I'm not miserable." Concubine Liu smiled brightly, pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "Sister, she is raising a baby in Jinling, so that's really miserable."
When the word "nurturing a fetus" was mentioned, the gloom in Concubine Liu's eyes flashed away.
She had two miscarriages and always felt that something was fishy, so she asked her father to ask the imperial doctor for consultation not long ago. He said that she might have been poisoned during pregnancy, but how could she be exposed to the poison in the back house?
Only...that person!
And when she heard that the young prince died in the south, she even felt the joy of revenge in her heart.
The cycle of nature brings unfavorable retribution.
But that man actually had another child! The sky has no eyes...
The King of Chu was silent for a moment and said: "When the war is over, we can go to Jiangnan to see again."
I haven’t seen you for such a long time, and I miss you a little bit.
It's just that the princess has not seen a letter delivered for so long. Alas, Xu is still angry with him.
Just when the King of Chu was thinking about Princess Zhen Qing, a servant outside reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liao said that the Xuanfu outside sent a red-feathered messenger to report the victory. , achieve great victory!"
Compared with Jia Heng, who wanted to present the follow-up military strategy, so he used dense sparse to report victory, Xie Zaiyi was directly the messenger of Hongling after the Han Dynasty won the victory, and reported victory with open cloth.
At this moment, the Red Feather Messenger was already rushing towards the Daming Palace, shouting "Great victory!"
Pedestrians on the road gave way and looked at the red-feathered messenger in surprise.
Then, the people of Shenjing, who were paying close attention to the border war, spread the news of Xuanfu's victory.
King Chu looked thoughtful on the front, his face suddenly overflowed with joy, and he said to Concubine Liu: "The Xuanfu side won the battle."
Concubine Liu seemed to feel the joy of the man in front of her. The soft and bright eyes under her eyebrows were smiling, and she said softly: "We have won a great victory on the front line. It is not in vain that the prince has been escorting ordnance to and fro these days."
Just when King Chu was overjoyed, Emperor Chongping, who was in the Daming Palace and in the inner study, had also received the news.
Taking the military report from Dai Quan, the cold expression on his face because he had just reviewed the memorial suddenly thawed, and said: "This Xie Zaiyi, I heard that the marksman is unparalleled, known as Xiao Li Guang, now he has defeated the two banners of the Jurchen and Han armies in one battle. The Mongolian elite is truly a good general.”
On the imperial court beside it, there were already written memorials by Beijing officials impeaching Xie Zaiyi and even mentioning the unknown employment of Jia Heng, but Emperor Chongping ignored them all.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Han Ge and several military ministers are already waiting at Wuying Hall." Dai Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Emperor Chongping's happy face.
In the past few days, Juyong Pass has been breached, Changping County has fallen, and the Jurchens have been wreaking havoc near Beiping Prefecture. Your Majesty does not know how anxious he is.
"Show me the Wuying Palace." Emperor Chongping said calmly, stood up and walked towards the Wuying Palace.
Just after the capital received the good news from Xie Zaiyi, Datong, hundreds of miles away——
One day has passed since the last attack. The Qing army and the Han army temporarily stopped fighting and faced each other across the city wall.
At this moment, the bright red flag embroidered with the Chinese character "Han" was rustling in the spring breeze of late February. The soldiers in the surrounding Beijing camp were holding weapons and crossbows and looking at the cavalry in the distance.
Below the city gate tower, Jia Heng held up a monocular and looked at the Jurchen tents in the distance, and glanced at the Jurchen village.
The village is not high and there are many tents in the middle.
"I really want to raise troops and defeat the Jurchen brigade in one fell swoop." Jia Heng said in a low voice.
But the time for a large-scale battle is obviously not mature now.
Chen Xiao also put down the telescope in his hand and whispered: "The Jurchen's recent offensive has become much more aggressive. It seems that the Jurchen are planning to divide their forces."
Although Huang Taiji deliberately concealed the division of troops, he still detected the movement through some hidden information, and Jia Heng also had a monocular telescope in his hand.
Until now, the senior officials of the Qing Dynasty did not know that Jia Heng had such a military weapon as a telescope, which could observe the elite Jurchens in the camp from several miles away.
"The flags on the camp are probably just hanging in vain now. Huang Taiji may not be in the camp anymore." Jia Heng suddenly said quietly.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, a bright light flashed in his clear eyes, and said: "They want to take a long way to attack Ping'an Prefecture, but they are afraid that we will find out."
Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao, who had a thoughtful look on his face, and said softly: "I can't stay here for too long. I will leave for Ping'an Prefecture tonight."
We can also see something wrong with Huang Taiji's offensive in the past few days. The more violent it becomes, the more it is trying to cover up something.
"Let's go back first." Jia Heng paused and whispered.
With that said, he and Chen Xiao returned to the Datong General Military Office and walked into the hall.
Jia Heng ordered the guards of Jinyi Mansion to summon Runan Hou Weiqi, Qi Jianhui and Cai Quan to prepare for discussion.
Not long after, two high-ranking military officers from the Beijing camp came closer. Runan Hou Weiqi was over fifty years old, of medium height, with a short beard under his chin. He was burly and a standard military commander.
Jia Heng said: "Tonight, I will select 10,000 cavalry troops to go to Ping'an Prefecture. In Datong Town, I will also ask the Marquis of Wei and General Cai to unite the troops and wait for the opportunity."
A total of nearly 60,000 cavalry troops were dispatched from the Beijing camp. Xie Zaiyi took 10,000 troops, Pang Shili took 6,000 troops, and Xie Jing took 3,000 troops, mixed with Taiyuan Town's troops and horses, and sent 10,000 troops to support Juyong Pass.
Because the 8,000 cavalry troops in Taiyuan were divided to suppress the local soldiers, 2,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry went to Ping'an Prefecture.
Therefore, there are 30,000 Beijing Cavalry troops in Datong City at this moment. Of course, there are many infantry in Datong Town, and Jia Heng takes away 10,000 troops again, leaving 20,000 Beijing Camp Cavalry troops.
Compared to Cai Quan, who had already expected it, Runan Hou Weiqi's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise, "General, is going to Ping'an Prefecture at this time? What will happen if Datong is attacked by Jurchen soldiers and horses?"
Because Jia Heng did not tell Wei Qi about the possible moves of the Qing army, Wei Qi did not know why Jia Heng, the coach, went to Ping'an Prefecture during the confrontation between the two armies.
Jia Heng said: "The Datong capital camp has 60,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry. In addition, Datong town has 30,000 troops and 100,000 troops and horses. Therefore, we have to rely on the Marquis of Runan. I will leave Cai Qian behind and listen." My military situation in Ping'an Prefecture is reported by flying pigeons, and Datong can send troops to cover up and kill the Jurchen soldiers."
In fact, I don’t expect Datong to send troops to defeat the Jurchens.
The soldiers and horses outside Datong City at this moment are the elite of the entire Qing Dynasty. Famous Jurchen generals have gathered and are ready.
Runan Hou Weiqi hesitated and asked, "Why does the general insist on going to Ping'an Prefecture?"
Jia Heng said: "It's possible that the Jurchens will attack Ping'an Prefecture. I've left a loophole there."
After arriving at Ping'an Prefecture one step ahead, we can arrange on the spot and wait for the Jurchen troops.
With that said, he looked at Qi Jianhui and said, "General Qi, this time you will come with me to Ping'an Prefecture."
The purpose of having Cai Quan here is to facilitate the control of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, and also to give the goddess a fatal blow when fighter planes appear.
Qi Jianhui was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your orders."
After the generals were assigned their tasks, Jia Heng turned his attention away from Runan Hou Weiqi and others, and was about to go to the camp to order troops.
At this moment, Li Shu, the guard of Jinyi Mansion, walked in quickly and said, "Captain, please thank General Zaiyi's flying pigeon for passing the message."
Because Xie Zaiyi was followed by people from the Jinyi Mansion, as well as his commander Qu Lang, he sent a message to Jia Heng Fei Ge to report after yesterday's defeat of more than 10,000 troops of the two banners of the Han Army and the Eight Mongolian Banners.
Jia Heng finished reading, and then faced the curious eyes of the generals present and said: "Xie Zaiyi defeated the Eight Banners of the Jurchen Han Army and the Mongolian cavalry outside Xuanhua City, annihilating five thousand enemies and capturing one thousand prisoners. It was another great victory. "
As soon as these words came out, the generals in Datong City were stunned for a moment, and then let out a cheer.
Jia Heng said: "Previously, the Jurchens divided their troops and went to Juyongguan and arrived at Beiping Prefecture. They left two banners of the Han army to attract our army's attention. This is why we should think of this."
In fact, this kind of fighter opportunity is very subtle. After Juyong Pass was broken, the Qing army besieging Xuanfu should timely withdraw or join the main force of the Qing army in Datong, or also attack the Jizhen defense line.
Of course, not everyone has the courage to take the initiative if they stay where they are.
There are less than ten thousand Jurchens, and they are invincible.
In fact, this sentence is only limited to the elites of the Jurchen headquarters. The soldiers of a banner are less than 10,000, but it is exactly less than 10,000. If one is not careful, the 300,000 to 50,000 Han troops with low combat power and decay may be defeated by it. .
But this is the Eight Banners of the Han Army. Compared with the elite Jurchens who came from old, young and poor, their fighting will is inferior. In addition, after tossing back and forth between Xuanhua City and Dushikou, they were already exhausted under the sudden attack on the city. Unbearable.
The victory in this war did not require much skill, it was about defeating the weak with the strong, and defeating the few with the many.
"The war in Xuanhua has eased, and the Jurchens must be more urgent. Shuozhou is the first defense in Jinzhong. Once it is breached, our army's food route may be interrupted. Therefore, I need to go to the rescue immediately." Jia Heng said to him. All the generals were in an inexplicable state of joy.
Wei Qi said: "General, don't worry, we will defend Datong to the death."
Jia Heng nodded and told Cai Quan a few words about the Hongyi cannon, preparing to use it in future military affairs. He then ordered Qi Jianhui to order troops, and then headed to the military camp with Chen Xiao.
Pingan Prefecture
In ancient times, it was called Shuozhou, also known as Mayi. It straddles the Yanmen Pass in the south and is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the north, west and south. The mountains are relatively high.
The straight-line distance between this place and Datong City is only a little over a hundred kilometers, and Jia Heng's troops since the evening finally rushed to the city on the third day.
Because Cai Quan had previously sent a general and two guerrillas to lead 2,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry to sit in the city, while guarding 15 Hongyi cannons.
Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao aside and said, "Huang Taiji probably hasn't come yet, but he will be here soon."
Chen Xiao said: "We will attack the city first. If Huang Taiji attacks the city, we will make arrangements as early as possible."
"If Huang Taiji doesn't come here in person, he won't suffer a loss. At least he can eat the Jurchen flag." Jia Heng said in a low voice.
At this time, a Jinyi Mansion guard came to report and said: "Captain, General Qi has entered the city. Please invite the Commander and the army to enter the city."
Jia Heng held the reins in his hands and said to Chen Xiao beside him: "Let's go into the city."
It was already evening, and the setting sun was like blood in the western sky. The golden and red glow reflected the green and smoky green mountains, while a "Han" flag above Ping'an Prefecture City in the distance whistled in the wind.
At this moment, in the city of Ping'an Prefecture, Cui Ling, the governor of Ping'an Prefecture, led the prefecture's generals and civil servants to the gate, while Qi Jianhui, the commander-in-chief of Fenwu Camp, led Hu Guan, the counselor of Guoyong camp stationed here, and the guerrilla general Feng Qiguo. , Yan Xun came out of the city to greet him.
The Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture had 40,000 troops, but the actual number of troops was less than 20,000. If Jia Heng hadn't sent troops and horses in advance, it would have been possible for the Jurchens to take advantage of the situation and break through the city, cutting off Yi and Dai. land, isolating the connection between Taiyuan and Datong.
"Commander, the general has arrived."
At this time, a soldier said with joy on his face, and came to a middle-aged military attache who was in his early forties and had a fat body, wearing the robe of a second-grade military attache.
Cui Ling followed the sound and stared at the young man in a python suit riding a maroon horse. He was wearing a black cloak and a python robe, with a sword hanging on his waist. Eyes, sitting upright on the horse looking at the Yuanting Yuechi, looking around, there is a majestic posture of looking around.
"I have met Marquis Yongning in my humble position." Cui Ling felt anxious, walked a few steps quickly, bowed towards the young man and said.
Jia Heng got off his horse, looked at Cui Ling, smiled and said: "Cui Jiedushi, please get up quickly. You and I can be considered acquaintances."
In fact, Cuiling has been controlled by Hu Guan, the commander of the Beijing camp, in the past few days, and all the military power in the city has been taken over.
When Cui Ling heard this, he was flattered and said with a smile on his face: "Back then, when Duke Ning and Rong were there, the last general was under the command of the Duke of Xiaoguo. When he saw the general, he almost thought that Duke of Xiaoguo was coming to lead his troops. .”
Jia Heng looked at Cui Ling and said, "I heard that Cui Jiedushi had an irreversible friendship with Master She in the mansion?"
As soon as these words came out, Cui Ling's face changed slightly. He was obviously a little frightened by Jia Heng's words. He hesitated and said, "It was just that we had some friendship back then."
"General." At this time, Hu Ying led two guerrilla generals over and saluted Jia Heng with cupped fists.
"Okay, let's talk after we enter the official office." Jia Heng stopped the greetings of several people and said: "There are many people here, so it's not too late to discuss matters in the official office."
The main reason is that he is worried that the news will leak out. If Huang Taiji notices it again and leaves in fear, then this trip will be in vain.
The army entered the city in an atmosphere that could be described as silent.
In Ping'an Prefecture, in the official office of the state city, all the military generals and civil servants were sitting in rows. Jia Heng naturally sat on the Taishi chair behind the commander's desk. Behind him was the pattern of a mountain tiger engraved in brass, and the hall was silent.
Jia Heng glanced at the generals below, was silent for a while, and asked: "General Hu, how many troops are there in the city? Are there any traces of enemy invaders in the north?"
Shuozhou borders on the grassland, so it can be said that a surprise attack would be effective, but the Han army did not fail to set up forts as a warning.
