The big guy in front is charging into battle, so the danger factor of the younger brothers in the back is greatly reduced, and most people will follow it when they see it.

Anyway, the responsibility will not be borne by those of us who are underneath.

They were also very clear-cut.

is to follow the big guy to burn and loot, what we grab is our own, this deal is not a loss, even if the court investigates it at that time, what can it be? Can the more than 50,000 soldiers here be held accountable together? Do you have the guts to do this?

After weighing it again and again, all the generals expressed their support for Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition, and Xiao Ruxun finally unified his internal thinking, determined the strategic intention of taking Naturalized City as the goal of the Northern Expedition, and boldly implemented it.

As for the instructions.

Xiao Ruxun decided to ask for instructions after recovering Datong, first cut and then play, and when the imperial court order arrived, he might have taken the Naturalization City and was celebrating the victory inside!

However, the emperor still needs to explain it, Xiao Ruxun is currently close to the emperor to face the ministers, anyway, he will not stand with the ministers, so he has to rely on the emperor's support to gain a firm foothold, and naturally needs to explain some things to the emperor, just right, and dedicate those treasures with the highest value to the emperor together.

He secretly wrote a secret letter for the soldiers to enter his tent, and then whispered a few words, and the soldiers nodded and turned to leave.

On the 28th of the first month, Xiao Ruxun led his troops to Taiyuan City, made some arrangements in Taiyuan City, replenished the army with food, and got the mountains of grain from those grain holes as military food, did a good job in the logistics of the army, rectified the army for a day, and then moved to the Yanmen Pass in the north.

According to the analysis of the military information obtained so far, the Beijiao was divided into two roads at the beginning, one was Pingxing Pass, and the other was Yanmen Pass, Pingxing Pass was broken early, and Yanmen Pass was defended by Shanxi Governor Wei Yunzhen for two months, and he was stunned that he did not let Beiyu break through.

Later, the northern captives found that it was not feasible, and learned that the Pingxing Pass had been breached, so they divided a part of their troops to the Pingxing Pass.

As a result, it happened to collide with Chai Guozhu leading his troops to recover Pingxingguan, and after being cleaned up by Chai Guozhu with Hongyi cannons, he found that Pingxingguan could not be taken down, so he was withdrawn from Pingxingguan after a long period of time.

After the withdrawal, according to the report from Yanmen Pass, that group of northern captives did not go back, I don't know if they went to other places in Datong, anyway, Pingxing Pass has been guarded by Chai Guozhu.

After Nurhachi led the Liaodong cavalry to arrive, Wei Yunzhen turned passive defense to active defense, and repeatedly ordered Nurhachi to lead the Liaodong Han cavalry to attack the northern captives outside the pass.

The northern captives outside the pass were beaten by Nurhachi, that is, there were many people who could bear it, and Nurhachi had few soldiers, insufficient and broke them, Rao was so, they were also killed by Nurhachi, three generals were beheaded, and more than 300 were beheaded, and they could no longer directly threaten Yanmen Pass.

Wei Yunzhen used his perseverance and persistence to hold Yanmen Pass to the death, and did not let another northern captives go south from Yanmen Pass, it can be said that Xiao Ruxun can calmly transfer troops to attack Pullik and finally annihilate the Rick army, Wei Yunzhen has made great contributions.

If it weren't for Wei Yunzhen's stubborn defense of Yanmen Pass to contain the enemy all the way, the battle situation in Shanxi would have deteriorated a long time ago.

Xiao Ruxun still remembered that when he was working with Dong Yikui in Ningxia, he heard the news that Dong Yikui died in Pingxingguan, Xiao Ruxun was still a little sad, and when Chai Guozhu sent a war report saying that he only found Dong Yikui's head and did not find Dong Yikui's body, Xiao Ruxun was even more embarrassed.

The general died in a hundred battles.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and a general is hard to find, especially in the Wanli period when the Ming generals generally declined, although it is rumored that there is another five tiger generals led by Xiao Ruxun, but everyone can see that the current situation is just a temporary prosperity, and the temporary prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is very reluctant, and the emergence of these generals is also very reluctant.

Except for Xiao Ruxun, who can win on all sides of the battlefield alone, the rest of the generals are only generals, who can lead partial divisions, but cannot dominate the overall situation.

This is not their own lack of ability, but the environment in which they live limits their play, and they cannot become handsome, because only literati can be handsome, and warriors can only be generals.

They don't have the unique conditions of Xiao Ruxun to get the power to control an army of more than 100,000 people, and they can only take 10,000 or 20,000 people to be a partial division at most.

And there are several people who have the potential to be handsome, Dong Yikui is even one, but unfortunately he died in battle.

Among the remaining few people, some of them have too much regional views and too bad reputations, and they have no future to be handsome, such as Li Rusong; Some have an unclear future and don't know life and death, which makes Xiao Ruxun very worried, such as Ma Gui.

Therefore, to sum up, the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty fought separately, and they could defeat the enemies they faced on their respective battlefields, and they could contain the worst of them.

However, in the event of a national war in which both sides are doing their best, no one can defend themselves against the powerful northern captives moving south, and the figures who can dominate the whole world are not allowed to exist at all.

Therefore, the root of the Ming problem lies in the overly powerful civilian government and the money-saving doctrine they pursue, if they cannot change these, then everything is false.

Xiao Ruxun remembered Dong Yikui for a while, and continued to lead the army north, but when he led the army through Fenzhou to camp and rest at night, Xiao Ruxun was asked to see by a Jinyi Wei General Banner.

"You said you were sent by Commander Luo?"

Xiao Ruxun sat in the tent and looked at the chief flag of the brocade guard while writing the military order.

"Exactly, Governor Xiao, a certain family came by the order of Commander Luo, and Commander Luo came by order of His Majesty, I came here to tell Governor Xiao where the big Jin merchants in Datong, Shanxi Province hid grain, and asked Governor Xiao to command us to take down all these grain caves."

Xiao Ruxun stopped his pen, looked at the general flag, and smiled mockingly.

"I really thought that you Jinyi Weitian was not afraid of the earth, and the hundred officials had to flee for their lives when they saw you, but there were also those you were afraid of? This is really a thing to a thing! ”

The chief flag did not change his face and said: "What Governor Xiao said is that this matter is not Jinyiwei's, but in that case, when we explored these grain caves, more than 100 brothers had already been killed and injured, but we just thought that the other party's power was too great, and we were really helpless." ”

"It looks like Commander Luo is having a hard time!"

Xiao Ruxun finished writing a military order, picked it up, blew it, and put it aside.

"It's all just for Your Majesty."

The general flag whispered.
