Chapter 445: Bad Omen

Hong Chengchou's words made Mao Wenlongmao suddenly, at present, there is no need for him to deal with the imperial court at all, and naturally someone will do it for him. And the most fatal threat naturally comes from the Houjin, as soon as the Houjin army arrives, the imperial court will naturally have to obediently withdraw.

After Mao Wenlong sorted out the pros and cons, he chuckled: "In this way, we don't need to fight the court to the death, as long as we reveal a little bit of news to Huang Taiji, someone will be happy to lead the army to invade the territory again." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded implicitly and said: "It is this reason, there is no need to pay attention to the imperial court, just deploy good defenses in Shanxi to prevent chaos after the collapse of the imperial court." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded in agreement with what Hong Chengchou said, and without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the Dongjiang Army in Shanxi to only defend and not to fight. Then he ordered people to go to Saiwai to publicize the situation of the imperial court's fight with the Dongjiang army in Shanxi.

Chongzhen never thought that Mao Wenlong would be so insidious, and would rather attract the evil wolf Huang Taiji than fight him with real knives and guns.

The result was not beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations, Huang Taiji had been full of resentment in his heart since he suffered a big loss last time. Unfortunately, there has been no disturbance on the side of the court recently, so he can only temporarily endure this breath.

When he suddenly received news that the imperial court was fighting the Dongjiang army in Shanxi. Huang Taiji was immediately overjoyed, and immediately sent spies to investigate, and after confirming that the situation was true, he did not hesitate to gather a large army and once again came to the city of Jiayuguan.

Ever since Chongzhen decided to send troops to attack Shanxi, Lu Xiangsheng has been worried that Houjin will come at any time. But before he could play to lobby the emperor, he found out that Houjin was attacking in a big way.

"Alas, the heavens will destroy my great light!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at the Houjin army rolling in his sight from the city tower, and he could only look at the sky and cry out.

It was only less than half a month before the imperial court sent troops to attack Shanxi, and Chongzhen learned that the Huang Taiji army was pressing. As soon as the news came out, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the culprit, Chongzhen, also became dumb at this moment.

This time the evil consequences were all caused by him, no one can complain, and in the face of the accusations of the courtiers, Chongzhen can only swallow the bitterness in his stomach.

In the imperial study, the dim light shone on Chongzhen's pale face, and the green silk was already a lot of white. Only a day passed, and when Chongzhen couldn't think of a way, he directly lost a lot of gray hair.

Wu Chengen has been sitting in the imperial study with Chongzhen since the next dynasty, and when he saw Chongzhen with a wooden expression, he couldn't bear to step forward and remind: "Your Majesty, let's withdraw our troops quickly, don't fight with Mao Wenlong again." Facts have proved that Huang Taiji has indeed been paying attention to us, and he will see the needle at the slightest breeze. ”

Chongzhen raised his head, his face was full of decadence, and he said weakly: "Why did Huang Taiji come so quickly?" Why is that? ”

Obviously, Chongzhen didn't listen to Wu Chengen's words just now, the latter hesitated for a moment, and had to bow his hand and say again: "Your Majesty, Shanxi should quickly order the withdrawal of troops and transfer the Shenji Battalion back to guard the Beijing Division, just in case!" ”

Chongzhen showed a wry smile: "Is it too late to withdraw now?" The Dongjiang Army had never fought from the beginning, and obviously, they already knew that Huang Taiji would come to invade our Ming border as soon as possible. But why is it that only I don't know? ”

Wu Chengen's heart was full of bitterness, Chongzhen in front of him had already begun to talk nonsense, thinking that this blow would be devastating to him. As a eunuch, everything Wu Chengen has comes from Chongzhen in front of him, so he can't let Chongzhen collapse like this, he must cheer up.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your troops from Shanxi immediately and use all your troops to Jiayuguan, we may not lose!" Wu Chengen's tone this time was much heavier.

Chongzhen seemed to be a little sober, he looked at Wu Chengen with an anxious face in a daze, and after a long time, his eyes rekindled the fighting spirit: "Yes, we must withdraw the troops now, there is nothing to fear about Houjin, Mao Wenlong, we dare to fight, let alone a Houjin outside the plug." ”

Seeing that Chongzhen had regained his fighting spirit, Wu Chengen pinched a cold sweat in his heart, but fortunately, it was not too late to sober up at this time.

Chongzhen didn't dare to delay, and immediately issued a holy decree to Sun Chuanting, asking him to give up attacking Shanxi immediately. Instead, he led his troops to Jiayuguan to help Lu Xiangsheng defend.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is absolutely contrary to it. Chongzhen didn't want to fight, but Mao Wenlong didn't let him go, and Mao Wenlong didn't plan to put up with anyone who dared to provoke him.

Daming has reached the moment of terminal illness, and he is already a dou who can't help him. Rather than spending a lot of effort to deal with a Ming dynasty that was riddled with holes, Mao Wenlong felt that it was better to directly destroy it, and then rebuild a new country from the ruins.

Sun Chuanting was already worried about not being able to defeat the Dongjiang Army, seeing that Chongzhen had given him all the things at the bottom of the box, but he still couldn't defeat the Dongjiang Army. Just when he was anxious and didn't know what to do, when Chongzhen's holy decree to withdraw troops arrived, he was slightly relieved.

At this time, he would rather fight with Houjin than fight with the stone-like Dongjiang Army. After seeing the true strength of the Dongjiang Army, he no longer had any hope of defeating the Dongjiang Army.

Sun Chuanting soon ordered the withdrawal of the army, however, the Dongjiang Army, which had not come out to fight for nearly a month, suddenly became active. When Sun Chuanting was preparing to withdraw his troops, the Dongjiang Army began to send troops to harass frequently.

Mao Wenlong waved the letter in his hand, laughed and said, "I want to see what Chongzhen can do this time?" ”

A trace of unbearability flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes, after all, his predecessor was still a member of the imperial court, and he was once valued by Chongzhen. It's a pity that a few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the court is getting worse day by day, and now even he can't see any hope for the court.

Hong Chengchou let out a light sigh in his heart, then put away the trace of pity, and suggested to Mao Wenlong with a straight face: "Chief soldier, don't consume the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in Shanxi at this time. Let them withdraw and keep a good guard! ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Hong Chengchou in surprise, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Yes, let them fight by themselves." ”

Mao Wenlong agreed to Hong Chengchou's request and ordered the defenders of Shanxi not to obstruct the retreat of the imperial court's soldiers and horses. The defenders of Shanxi were at a loss for this, but in the end they acted according to Mao Wenlong's orders and did not send troops to harass the retreating soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
