After Fang Guangchen left the palace, Wu Shifan re-issued an order and withdrew the idea of abandoning Yunnan, and at the same time, at Fang Guangchen's request, he also ordered Fang Lanming to be grounded in the palace for half a year.

When Xia Guoxiang heard the news, he just scolded the old fox, and continued to fish in the pavilion in the courtyard without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Another day later, Wu Shifan personally visited Xia Guoxiang, and asked how to deal with the matter in Yunnan by the way.

Wu Shifan came to the door, Xia Guoxiang naturally couldn't fish in the pavilion anymore, he could only hold on to the bed and pretend to be seriously ill, looking grateful: "The emperor descended to the nobles, personally went to the house to visit his ministers, the ministers were grateful, but the wind and cold invaded the body, the nose was not clear, and now the brain is dizzy and can't think of any good way, but there is a sentence to say to Your Majesty, now whether it is Jiangnan or Huguang, it is far away from water can not quench the thirst, if you want to solve the problem of Yunnan, or use the power of Yunnan, Your Majesty should not be afraid to spend money, as long as you can win the world, the world will always belong to Your Majesty. ”

Although Xia Guoxiang was a little unhappy, he would not use these military affairs to play any temper with Wu Shifan, but he couldn't directly say that he had an idea, you had an idea, hide in the mansion and don't say it, you have to come to see you in person Your Majesty before you say, aren't you blackmailing power to get power, so you just pointed out a way out, as for what to do, Wu Shifan must be able to understand.

Wu Shifan really laughed when he heard this: "My uncle is worthy of being the minister of the humerus of the Great Zhou, I am very relieved, my uncle is recuperating with peace of mind, and I will come to visit my uncle again in the near future." ”

"The minister is sick, and he can't send His Majesty off, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me if I am rude."

Cheng Xiaolian didn't have time to pay attention to the battle of wits and courage between Wu Shifan and Xia Guoxiang at this time, Hu Guozhu's army was less than fifty miles away from Beijing City, no matter how toss in the rear, as long as Wu Shifan did not lose his heart and killed Hu Guozhu's whole family, this Beijing city Hu Guozhu must be captured.

The number of the Shanhe Army was naturally inferior to Hu Guozhu, so the strategy was to hold on to the city and wait for the Northern Sweeping Army to solve the matter in Shanxi and come to support.

Food, grass and ordnance are very sufficient, Cheng Xiaolian is not too worried, and because of the capture of Beijing, the morale of the army is high, and now in order to defend Beijing, these soldiers will definitely do their best.

Two days later, Hu Guozhu, who was ready for everything, began the siege of the city, and less than a month after the evacuation of Galdan, the city of Beijing was once again in flames.

At this time, Wang Jiyong had just pursued to Datong Mansion, and Galdan did not entangle with him more, but only sent a small force of cavalry to block Wang Jiyong's footsteps.

However, only three days later, Wang Jiyong saw through Galdan's thoughts, coupled with the nearby Jinyi guard, he knew that Galdan did not set up an ambush, so he pursued with all his might, Wang Jiyong's cavalry skills were not necessarily worse than the Mongolian cavalry's riding skills, and after another three or five days, the Mongolian cavalry under his command had been more than two hundred.

Galdan was forced to no longer send cavalry to interfere, and now in order to win the hearts of the people, he sent out his own henchmen cavalry, his foundation in Mongolia is not stable, if he does something to kill people with a knife, it will definitely cause a certain backlash, in order to maintain his prestige, he can only send his own cronies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have broken through the three prefectures and counties, and you have almost robbed it, and there is still a large group of Ming cavalry behind me, so I plan to march back to the grassland with all my might, if you still feel that you have not grabbed enough, just stay, but I also want to remind you, your women and children are waiting for the things you snatched back for the winter, but don't die here, when the time comes, your women and children will either be snatched away, or starved to death."

There are two meanings to what he said, some people naturally rushed back to Mongolia without looking back when they heard this, but some people had to take a look, just by virtue of whether the things they grabbed could make the old and young women and children of the tribe survive this cold winter, if not, then they had to stay and grab some more desperately.

Galdan's own henchmen and cronies have almost snatched it, so naturally they will not stay here, and those people will become the target of the Ming cavalry, used to attract the attention of the Ming cavalry, so that others can retreat to the grassland with all their beards and tails. Of course, even if those people died, there was no way to blame him for killing people with a knife, after all, he had reminded these people.

Two days later, Wang Jiyong got the news that the Mongolian cavalry of the brigade rushed to retreat to Mongolia, leaving only one or two thousand Mongolian cavalry to loot near Datong Mansion.

Wang Jiyong naturally has no interest in running back to the grassland, but for those who still want to loot in the Ming Dynasty, he can only let them leave their heads to apologize.

In ten days, Wang Jiyong's cavalry was divided into eight groups, and they kept raiding and encircling until they killed all the Mongolian cavalry left in Shanxi.

Wang Jiyong didn't have time to rest and recuperate before he rushed back to Beijing to participate in the war, but at this time, news suddenly came from Jinyiwei's side, saying that Cheng Xiaolian ordered him to continue to stay in Shanxi, and contact the sweeping army to recover the entire territory of Shanxi, and then the two armies could rush to Beijing together.

For the war in Beijing City, Qin Yue has put down his words and can defend Beijing City for at least three months, besides, Wang Jiyong's troops are all cavalry, which does not help much for guarding the Beijing Division, and can only attack and harass on the periphery, which does not play a big role, it is better to help Daniel Zhang quickly solve the war in Shanxi and then rush to the Beijing Division.

Wang Jiyong naturally has no opinion, since Qin Yue has spoken, Beijing will definitely not have any risk, and His Majesty will definitely not be in any danger, so he will naturally obey the order.

However, Qin Yue couldn't cry or laugh after learning about this will: "The old minister only said that he could guard for at least one month, but why did it become three months in the hands of His Majesty?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Because I sent you a talent to ensure that you can guard for three months." Qu Songtin, come and see Lord Qin. ”

Qu Songtin has been idle recently, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer attacked Tongguan, he has no important things, and then the Ming offensive is even more useless, in Tongguan boring to Cheng Xiaolian on a twist, just when the army was going to Beijing, Cheng Xiaolian issued an order to transfer him over.

Qin Yue was overjoyed when he saw Qu Songtin and said: "I have long heard that General Qu is guarding the city like a strong wall, and he is good at taking advantage of various conditions to defend the city, and now that General Qu is here, I can rest assured." ”

"The boss has won the award, and the last general is only a shallow learner, and he has to rely on the old general's allocation."
