At this time, Li Shuheng was also in Liu Heng's signing room.
After the Tiger Character Banner's three-pronged attack on Beizhili began, Li Shuheng returned to Datong from Henan.
It was Zhao Yutu who came to Datong together.
However, Zhao Yutu was responsible for ensuring the logistics of several armies, so unlike Li Shuheng, he could often come to Liu Heng's signing room.
"Has Shanhaiguan been captured?" Li Shuheng asked excitedly.
Liu Heng nodded and said with a smile: "The slave chief Huang Taiji has withdrawn his troops. Shanhaiguan now belongs to our tiger flag. It's a pity that Guan Ning's army has defected to the slave traitors."
Li Shuheng rolled his eyes when he heard this and said: "It was your lord's suggestion to give up Guan Ningjun. Not to mention that now that I see Guan Ningjun following the slave chief, I'm starting to regret it."
"I do have a little regret." Liu Heng pursed his lips.
The Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money and food over the years, and only raised a total of about 100,000 Guan Ning's troops. Seeing so many people being taken away by Huang Taiji, he naturally felt distressed.
These people can pick and choose a group of qualified soldiers, and the remaining Guan Ning army can also be used as Dingkou to create benefits.
The Tiger Flag occupies such a large area, and manpower is always in a state of tension.
"It's too late to regret. We didn't send anyone to contact Zu Dashou, so the slave chief Huang Taiji got this advantage." Li Shuheng said.
When the battle plan was determined at that time, he also mentioned recruiting Zu Dashou, so as to use the Guan Ning Army to block the slave thieves outside the Ning Jin defense line, just like the Ming Dynasty.
However, this proposal was rejected by Liu Heng.
Liu Heng put some water in Li Shuheng's cup and said: "I regret a little, but I can't touch those generals in Liaodong. They are all pustules. If they are not squeezed out, they will only become a drag. I will not hold the tiger in my hand." Use Zi Qi’s money to fill this bottomless pit.”
"So we have to give up the Ningjin defense line." Li Shuheng spread his hands.
Hearing this, Liu Heng said: "It's beyond our reach. We are fighting on multiple fronts, so we can only give up Ning Jin to the slave thieves. Fortunately, we have made a breakthrough on the Liaodong Peninsula, so we won't suffer too much."
"Xing Chaoxi fought this battle well, which directly forced the slave thieves to divide their troops. Otherwise, if we take down the Gaizhou Guards, we can go straight to Shenyang. It is impossible for the slave chief not to be nervous." Li Shuheng said with a smile.
Liu Heng nodded and said, "Ning Jin will be kept in the slave's hands for now. When we are free, I will take it back. This is our Han family's place."
"I really want to go back to Liaodong one day." Li Shuheng said with emotion.
Unlike Liu Heng, he does not have the memory of later generations like Liu Heng.
In Li Shuheng's heart, Liaodong was his hometown. Because the old slave rebelled and launched a war against the Ming Dynasty, he was not allowed to come to Guan from Liaodong.
Liu Heng said: "Don't worry, there will be a day."
Liaodong, he will take it back sooner or later.
He didn't want slaves to occupy such a large piece of land.
"When will my lord prepare to set off?" Li Shuheng asked instead.
Liu Heng raised his head and glanced at the map hanging on the wall, and said: "Now that the situation in Shanhaiguan has stabilized, the next step is to capture the Ming Dynasty's capital. Make preparations. We will leave tomorrow."
Three armies attacked the capital. As the head of the Tiger Flag, how could he not participate in such a big thing.
Moreover, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is already a turtle in the urn.
The next day, a team of several hundred people from the Tiger Character Banner set out from Datong Town, went around Xuanfu, entered Yanqing, and finally came to Changping.
At this time, two combat divisions of the First War Zone under Commander Jia Liu were organized on the front line in Changping to clean up the resistance forces around the capital.
The second theater, under the leadership of Chen Xunping, also captured Tianjin Guards and had already reached Wuqing, less than a day's journey from the capital.
The third army came all the way from Shun'an to Liangxiang and also appeared around the capital.
Although none of the three armies attacked the capital, everyone knew that the destruction of the capital was not far away.
This time, the capital, which had been attacked by troops several times, never came to Qin Wang again.
Most of the several military fortresses in the border towns chose to stay in each town and did not come to the capital. Many generals in the border towns were no longer optimistic that the Ming Dynasty could defend the capital.
After losing Shandong, many Ming Dynasty's border generals had already understood the situation and knew that it was only a matter of time before Beizhili fell.
A small number of King Qin's troops loyal to the Ming Dynasty were also blocked by the tiger-character flag on their way to the capital.
Not only did these Qinwang troops fail to reach the capital, they even lost the chance to go back.
Of the three armies of the Tiger Character Banner, only the two troops from the second war zone converged in one place, while the first war zone army led by Jia Liu was stationed in the Yuquan Mountain and Qinghedian areas.
The entire capital city is already under the surveillance of the tiger-character flag army.
"Commander, a patrol team under his command captured several dog officers sent by the Ming Emperor to deliver orders." A battalion official came to Jia Liu's tent.
Jia Liuzheng looked down at the recently completed sand table. After hearing this, he raised his head and said, "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not waiting to die in his Forbidden City. Why did he send people to my place?"
"Could it be that they want to arrest us?" Zhang Sancha suddenly said.
Another Shizheng Wang Yuncheng said: "How can you order us to be safe? You are too fanciful."
"Perhaps the Ming Emperor is out of his mind." Zhang Sancha joked.
At this time, Jia Liu said with a smile: "What's there to argue about? When you see the person, you'll know what's going on. Go and bring the person in!"
Not long after, a eunuch wearing a python robe and a middle-aged man were brought over.
"We have met several generals in our family." The python-robed eunuch said hello to Jia Liu and others with a smile on his face.
The middle-aged man next to him also saluted.
However, the middle-aged man has a beard and is not a eunuch in the palace.
"Still a eunuch." Wang Yuncheng looked up and down at the eunuch in front of him.
Zhang Sancha on the side said sarcastically: "I heard that the emperor used eunuchs to deliver decrees. They are here to issue decrees, so naturally they are eunuchs."
The two people's words made the python-robed eunuch's face turn blue and red.
He could feel both men humiliating him.
Jia Liu's eyes moved to the middle-aged man next to the eunuch. He said, "I never heard that the eunuch has a beard. He doesn't look like a eunuch in the palace. Why don't you introduce your identity?"
As his words fell, Zhang Sancha and Wang Yuncheng also looked at the middle-aged man.
"I'm Zhang Qun. I've met several generals." The middle-aged man said hello.
Jia Liu looked sideways at the chief of staff and asked, "Is there an official named Zhang in the capital?"
"There are quite a few people with the surname Zhang, but judging from his clothes, he should be a noble with a title. Is it the Earl Zhang or the Marquis Zhang?" the chief of staff said.
