Chapter 89 Gathering Mountain Customs

Of course, the news of Tongzhou's victory not only spread quickly among the people, but also the generals of the Dazhong Army got the fastest news. At this time, Li Xin, Lu Xiangsheng and others, who were leading thousands of Dazhong army soldiers to dispatch the left army and the soldiers of the middle army in Yongping Prefecture, also received Xiao Tianjian's dispatch two days later. Message to them.

After hearing the news of such a great victory, the soldiers and civilians in Yongping Mansion immediately became in love and cheered loudly.

The news made Li Xin and Lu Xiangsheng breathe a long sigh of relief. During this period, Li Xin was also under great pressure. The battle situation on the Shanhaiguan side was not bad. After Luo Li led the troops to Shanhaiguan, he severely defeated the army of Jiannu led by Dorcong, which not only blocked their craziest attack, but also took the opportunity to fight. The slave was defeated and lost, and the soldiers and soldiers were defeated, which made the Nu forward army led by Dorgom basically temporarily lose the ability to threaten Shanhaiguan. However, it is a pity that Yan Chongxi, a general, was seriously injured in this battle and was sent to Yongping Prefecture for treatment. Anyway, they were not too worried about the war situation in Shanhaiguan.

However, for the war situation in the west, they were too late and a little helpless. Although as soon as Li Xin arrived at Yongping Mansion, he sent Wang Chengping and Diao Zheng to lead the army to the west to prevent the right-wing army of Jiannu from breaking through the customs in the west, they moved slower after all, although they later learned that Zhou Yuji was in Xifeng. He fought desperately to block the Jiannu right-wing army from breaking through the gate from Xifengkou, but Zhou Yuji fought to death in Xifengkou.

And within a few days, they got the news again that the right-wing army of Jiannu led by Abatai had broken through the Guancheng from the Huangyakou Pass, and the tide poured into the Guannei and rushed straight to the capital.

Such a situation makes Li Xin, Lu Xiangsheng and others worried. At present, Diao Zheng's troops must have no time to stop the Jiannu army, and a Diao Zheng's troops may not be able to solve Abatai's troops. Even if they can defeat Abatai's troops with the mobility of the Jiannu army, if Abatai and Hauge If you don't confront Diao Zheng head-on, Diao Zheng can only run behind Abatai's buttocks. The construction army led by Abatai is like the devil released by opening the box. It is already very difficult to take them back.

The rest can only rely on Wang Chengping's cavalry brigade, but Wang Chengping's cavalry strength is only 6,000 to 7,000 people. Although his combat effectiveness and mobility is also very strong, it is not easy to eat the Jiannu right-wing army on this road. What's more, the most elite cavalry in the Dazhong Army is Wang Chengping. In his hand, once these cavalrymen beat Abatai's troops, no matter what the outcome is, Wang Chengping, a cavalryman, will lose a lot, which is not what Li Xin wants to see.

What Li Xin was most afraid of was that after Abatai and Hauge led the troops into the customs, they plundered the customs. At the same time, they cut off the back transportation line of the Dazhong army, but did not fight head-on with the Dazhong soldiers and horses. In that case, the situation of the Dazhong army would be very dangerous. There were more than 100,000 Jiannu troops outside Shanhaiguan in front of them, and Abatai's troops in the back. In this large army wandering in the pass, the Dazhong army could not concentrate on fighting against the Jiannu army, and they should also be careful of being bitten by Abatai's troops behind their back.

For this reason, Li Xin and Lu Xiangsheng were very headaches. Li Xin sent someone to pass the order to Wang Chengping, so that even if he took the risk, he would bite Abatai's troops. At least they should not pose too much threat to the logistics line of the Dazhong army.

But just when they were a little worried about this, Xiao Tianjian sent someone to Yongping Mansion and told them that Xiao Tianjian had personally led the right-wing army of the Dazhong army and fought a surprise battle against the right-wing army of Abatai, a Jiannu, in the area of Tongzhou, and under the battle, he fought the Jiannu army of 30,000 to 40,000 people. The big defeat, coupled with Wang Chengping's blocking in Shunyi, almost annihilated the Jiannu's right-wing army near the capital.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian also supervised the slave chief Abatai on the battlefield in the south of Tongzhou. Unfortunately, Hauge escaped from the ascension. At this time, he didn't know where he had gone! But even if Hager escapes back to the customs, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The 30,000 to 40,000 Jiannu army they brought into the customs can basically run back at most three digits. For Jiannu, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented super defeat. It is really enough for Jiannu to drink a pot.

So after receiving the news, Li Xin and Lu Xiangsheng immediately went out of Yongping City to meet Xiao Tianjian's direction, and caught Xiao Tianjian in Luanzhou in southern Yongping.

It was naturally very happy for the emperor and ministers to meet. Li Xin immediately gave a detailed report on the recent war in the Shanhaiguan area to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian was also very happy after hearing this. He even praised the generals. As for Lu Xiangsheng, Xiao Tianjian naturally praised him, which made Lu Xiangsheng quite happy.

Then Xiao Tianjian, Li Xin, Lu Xiangsheng and others, arrived at Yongping Mansion City. At the same time, Wang Chengping led the main force of the cavalry under his command. At this time, he also retreated to Yongping Mansion after completing the clearance of the rest of Haoge.

At this time, the three-way military industry of the Dazhong Army has completed the assembly in Yongpingfu, so that the strength of the Dazhong Army has reached an unprecedented 60,000 in this area, which has completely stabilized the defense of the front line of Shanhaiguan, and will no longer be broken through by the construction of slaves in the area of Yushan Customs!

Just as Xiao Tianjian led his troops to Yongping Mansion and all the troops would meet and march towards Shanhaiguan. At the same time, in the Qiantunwei Jiannu camp more than 80 miles north of Shanhaiguan, Huang Taiji was like ants on a hot pot, as if a dog could not cross the river. The nosebleeds flowed one after another. If he hadn't been a big fat man and was born with a lot of blood, he would have had a runny nose and bleed to death.

After Dorcon launched the most violent attack on Shanhaiguan in mid-May, he not only failed to conquer the Shanhaiguan defense line in one fell swoop, but also suffered heavy losses under the fierce resistance of the defenders of the Dazhong Army and the old Ming army under the command of Wu Xiang. He fought an equally huge defeat and had no choice but to retreat ten miles from Shanhaiguan. Re-camp and start a rest.

The news of Dorcon's second defeat in Shanhaiguan soon reached the ears of Huang Taiji, who was stationed in the front guard. After Huang Taiji heard the news, he was angry that his nose had a long nosebleed, and he couldn't wait to catch Dorton immediately and chop it up.

He went south to almost all the soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty this time. He planned to control the land of Yanyun before grabbing the Dazhong army, but the result was so unsmooth. The commanders and generals of the Ming army such as Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashhou first fought to the death in Ningyuan City. As a result, they dragged their slave army in Ningyuan City for nearly a month. In time, although they finally defeated Ningyuan City and successfully annihilated tens of thousands of Ningyuan's defenders, they also took the opportunity to besiege and destroy the 20,000 to 30,000 Ming troops who rushed to Ningyuan City, and won a great victory.

But behind this victory, they also lost a month of precious time in the Qing Dynasty, which made the Dazhong army arrive at Shanhaiguan in batches in front of them, forced Wu Xiang, the guard general of Shanhaiguan, and stabilized the defense line of Shanhaiguan.

Originally, if Dorcon was more aggressive and broke through Shanhaiguan at this time, it was not hopeless for their Qing army to take down the land of Yanyun. The right army and the middle army of the middle army had not yet rushed to Shanhaiguan. With the strength of the left army of the Dazhong army, it was impossible to stop him after the Shanhaiguan was broken. These more than 100,000 Qing troops entered the customs, and they may easily eat the left army of the Dazhong Army first with the advantage of military strength, greatly weakening the strength of the Dazhong Army.

However, no matter how good he was, Dornon, the fool, could not successfully break through the Shanhaiguan as he expected. On the contrary, he was blocked outside the Shanhaiguan. He was repeatedly defeated, not to mention the soldiers, but also consumed a large number of materials of their Qing army.

In order to achieve the goal of seizing the land of Yanyun, although Huang Taiji adjusted his deployment after the soldiers reached the front guard, he sent Abatai and his son Hauge to divide 40,000 detours to the west and find another way to break through the customs. However, the number of soldiers led by Abatai and Hauge is limited. Even if they enter the customs, they rely on their soldiers alone. The force can't take the land of Yanyun.

The current situation is very clear to Huang Taiji. Once the Dazhong Army is allowed to occupy the capital of Daming in advance and control the land of Yanyun, I'm afraid it will not be easy for their Qing army to enter the customs in the future. Huang Taiji is very clear that although he has established the Qing Dynasty outside the customs and successfully controlled the whole Liaoning. East and even all parts of Mongolia also have territory such as North Korea, but compared with their population and national strength, and the Greater China that controls the Central Plains in the future, they are still at an absolute disadvantage.

They can't imagine the richness of the Central Plains. Although Huang Taiji does not know anything about the small glacier era, he also knows that for so many years, Guanwai has been getting colder and colder year by year, and his father's wild boar skin was extremely damaged by the production of Guanwai after the army in Guanwai. Because his father's wild boar skin was against the Han people. When he was alive, he massacred the Han people outside the customs, so that the Han people outside the customs were either slaughtered in large numbers or abandoned their families and fled into the customs, which led to a sharp decline in the population in the eastern part of the customs, which almost caused a hundred miles of red land outside the customs.

Although after he took over the Khanate, he adopted the Huairou policy, alleviated this contradiction, and also reduced the killing of the Han people. He repeatedly sent troops into the customs to plunder the Han people in Guan and out of the customs as slaves, supplemented the recovery of the population outside the customs, and implemented some policies of leniency to the Han people, which stabilized their rule of slaves. Some agricultural economies in eastern Liaoning have been restored, but he also knows that this is not a fundamental solution at all.

This is also one of the reasons why Huang Taiji repeatedly sent troops into the customs after he succeeded to establish the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji repeatedly sent troops into the customs. In addition to looting gold and silk to meet their needs, the more important purpose is to plunder the population, go outside the customs for them to build enslavement, and restore the population outside the customs. Huang Taiji knows more than anyone how big the land is. If no one cultivates, it will be in vain. It is impossible for them to compete with the Han people. Although they rely on the bravery of their Jianzhou Erlang and the Ming army over the years, they have lost thousands of miles of land, but his emperor Taiji also knows that once the Ming Dynasty perishs and becomes a capable Dazhong Dynasty, their good days outside the customs will be over.

The information recovered from all parties shows that Xiao Tianjian, the newly ascended emperor, seems to be extremely hostile to their slaves. Once he controls the land of Yanyun, this person will definitely take extremely harsh measures to cut off internal and external contacts and trade canals. In that case, in that case, there is no need for the Great China and the Dynasties to fight hard. This way to cut off commerce alone can force their Qing Dynasty into a desperate situation.

This is also an important reason why Emperor Taiji now wants to take the strength of the Qing Dynasty, send troops to the whole Qing Dynasty, and want to break through the customs and seize the land of Yanyun.
