He didn't expect that the cavalry, whose whereabouts were unknown, would rush all the way to Phoenix City in broad daylight, destroying all the grain fields he saw along the way.

When I arrived in Phoenix, night fell again, just like Tangzhan Fort, even if Phoenix City was a big city, but the details of the Ming army outside were unknown, and Jian Yu did not dare to go out of the city at night after trying it. And when they waited until dawn, there was no trace of the Ming army. By this time, the messenger from Fort Townsend had arrived in Phoenix to report the situation, but it was too late.

At the beginning, Jianyu thought that the Ming army was grabbing grain as in previous years, but soon, they found out that something was wrong. The Ming army did not come to grab grain, but to sabotage the grain harvest, and it was to sabotage with all their hearts. If you can't fight, you won't fight, if you can destroy one more place, you can destroy one more place, these Ming troops are almost iron men and generally don't need to rest, and the speed of transfer and destruction is a few points faster than that of messengers.

Realizing this purpose, all the Jianyu who understood panicked, hurriedly sent an expedited, and sent the letter directly to Shenyang.

When Huang Taiji first received the report, he thought it was a case, but then when the guards who were harmed by the Ming army sent messengers to send the news urgently, he was also a little panicked.

Later, he didn't care whether it was late at night or not, and summoned his Belle Bezi overnight or something, and held a royal meeting.

I saw that Huang Taiji's fat face was covered with dark clouds, and he looked at the courtiers below and said sharply: "Ming Guo is despicable and shameless, and he even disregarded the virtue of heaven and sent a cavalry army to sabotage the grain harvest of my Qing Dynasty!" ”

As he said this, a guard pushed over a screen with a map of Liaodong drawn on it. I saw that there were two dazzling arrows on it, one east and one west, which were about to converge.

Huang Taiji strode over, pointed at the map with his fat finger and continued: "This is the headquarters of Cao Wenzhao of Guanning, there are about a thousand cavalry troops, destroying grain fields all the way; On this side, it was Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, who personally led his cavalry, and suddenly emerged from Tangzhan Fort and marched westward, destroying all the grain fields along the way. ”

Speaking of this, he slapped his palm between the two arrows and shouted: "I deduce that they will join forces and flee from the grassland to the Ming Kingdom." This time, they must not be allowed to run again! We must not let them continue to destroy, otherwise I will have a lot of deaths this winter! ”

Judging from the reported situation, the Ming army has already destroyed a lot, and the consequences of the lack of food are very serious, especially under the current situation where the population has recovered again.

Therefore, after listening to these "despicable" behaviors of the Ming army, they were all very angry and asked for battle, saying that they must leave these Ming troops who killed thousands of knives.

To have the mind of these Ming troops with a thousand knives, Huang Taiji is stronger than them. Because, even if these Ming troops are killed, the losses caused by these Ming troops cannot be recovered. And to what extent the most critical grain will affect the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji knows better than anyone else.

Therefore, although it was already night, Huang Taiji still ordered: "Now that the Ming army has lost its trace here, it is possible that they have absconded outside the fortress, or they are resting somewhere." In any case, all the flags took out the cavalry and set off overnight, surrounded from all sides, and must not let them destroy the grain fields again, and do not let them escape back to the pass! ”

"Yes!" The big and small leaders of the Jianyu present were angry one by one, and responded loudly, eager to peel off those Ming soldiers and cramp them in their hearts!

As soon as this imperial meeting was dispersed, Huang Taiji seemed to be unable to support the weight of his body anymore, and sat on the throne with both hands on his head, seemingly having a headache.

In the past, dealing with the Ming Kingdom has always been smooth, and everything about the Ming Kingdom is under his control. At that time, what I thought was to master the Qing Dynasty and be able to make decisions. I believe that as long as no one else drags me back, I have the ability to make the Qing Dynasty go further.

Huang Taiji thought of this, leaned back, tilted his head back, closed his eyes and continued to think: However, although he is now able to make decisions and no one drags him back, why, everything is not going well!

Suddenly, he opened his little eyes, his eyes were cold, and he secretly hated in his heart, what was going on with that young Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and suddenly he was enlightened? There are still some powerful people assisting him, and he actually made continuous moves, so that his plans were burned.

Originally, I thought that with my own efforts, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty would reach a new level. But the emperor of the Ming Kingdom actually used such a trick to draw salary, there was no food, and all the previous efforts were in vain!

With a "snap", Huang Taiji slapped his palm on the armrest of the throne, and said in a hateful voice: "How can I lose to you as a hairy boy!" I'm not going to throw in the towel! ”

The guards in yellow vests on the side looked at their noses and noses as if they hadn't heard any sound. But they were surprised in their hearts, Your Majesty is so powerful, how can he have such a gaffe?

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, as Huang Taiji thought, had already joined Cao Wenzhao victoriously. However, in this area, they did not destroy it, so Huang Taiji had the illusion that they had not yet learned a teacher.

It was also at this time that Lu Xiangsheng re-contacted the emperor through Gao Yingyuan, and also knew the situation on the side of the new army.

The other soldiers were all hurrying to rest, but Lu Xiangsheng was still in good spirits, and said with a smile to Cao Wenzhao, who was also extremely tired: "I finally lived up to the emperor's expectations, and everything went according to plan." The new army has arrived at its destination to rest, and the empty warships have departed, so let's go ahead of the plan early tomorrow morning! ”

"Everything is up to Lord Zhongcheng." Although Cao Wenzhao was very tired, he was in a very good mood, "Jianyu must have thought that we were going to the grassland again, hehe, let them intercept it!" ”

The previous route of the two of them was actually carefully chosen, and what was faintly meant was that they finally fled to the grassland. Because of this, Cao Wenzhao said this.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "This battle plan, but the emperor took a lot of effort to get it, if Jian Yu can guess it casually, it will be really strange!" Okay, let's sleep, I'm going to be tired for a few more days! ”

"A happy war like this, no matter how tired you are, you are willing!" Cao Wenzhao responded with a smile, and then looked at Lu Xiangsheng and smiled.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Beijing, learned about the situation here through Gao Yingyuan, and he was also happy in his heart. At this time, the chamberlain told him that Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, asked to see him.
