After Tu Hai speculated, he knew that the army of the former Ming Dynasty must have made a false shot, and then turned around and left, otherwise there was no need for them to attack Datong Mansion, from Daizhou to the east is the important land of Gyeonggi, if they really came to Jingshi, there was no need to go to Datong Mansion, let alone wait for Mu Zhan behind him.

Now there are only two roads in front of him, and it is necessary to send people back to defend the Jingshi, but he has already deduced the intentions of the Qianming army, so there is no need to send everyone back, only 20,000 horses need to be sent back, which is enough for the civil and military ministers of the Jingshi to rest assured, and the rest depends on his meaning.

If he wants to take revenge, he will take people all the way to the north, go straight to the grassland, and then give an order to the tribes on the grassland, intercept and kill the former Ming army, they will definitely not dare to do it, otherwise it will not let the former Ming army raid Shanxi succeed, but it is always no problem to report the news. As long as he grasps the movements of the former Ming army, he is sure to block this former Ming army.

But for Tuhai, the significance of intercepting and killing this former Ming army is greater than the effect, and the success of the interception can deter the former Ming, but it has no effect on the confrontation between the two armies. At this time, he didn't know that Cheng Xiaolian was in this army, otherwise he would have to stop this army even if he didn't want to fight Jingshi.

In his opinion, if he kills these people, the former Ming court will not hurt his muscles and bones, and if he comes and goes, Tongguan will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he will have to fill it with the lives of his generals.

To tell the truth, this Manchu Eight Banners disciple is in the customs, so he can withstand his consumption, if when he entered the customs, so many people were killed and injured, Liaodong's hometown would have been in civil strife a long time ago, Rao is like this, he also took a lot of pressure and recovered Shaanxi, no one pursued how many people died, if Shaanxi could not recover it, his sin would be great.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth: "Turn your head and continue to attack Tongguan!" ”

"Dashuai, this matter must not be done!"

Tu Hai's eyes narrowed: "Am I handsome or are you handsome?" ”

"If before this, the marshal has always insisted on attacking Tongguan, even if he divides his troops to rescue the Beijing division now, those adults in the court can't say anything, but now that Mu Zhan is newly defeated, the thief army is strong, and the marshal has just received the news of Mu Zhan's defeat and turned around and left, what will the civil and military forces in the court think? Mu Zhan lost, let's turn around and run, where is the court? ”

As soon as he said this, Tu Hai was stunned on the spot, he knew that now the Jingshi was no longer in danger, but how could the ministers of the Jingshi who were frightened by the bow and birds think of this, and when the time came, he would not be able to run away from the charge of escaping from the battle and avoiding the battle.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly: "That's it, you guys come with me to the capital division, and the hearts of the ministers of the court of An Yi'an, just let them settle down and do things." ”

"Marshal, aren't we going to pursue the enemy?"

"Thousands of enemy troops, and Mu Zhanchong killed for a while, now it is a lot to save two thousand, for two thousand enemy troops, our tens of thousands of troops want to follow them to the grassland in a circle, not to mention the loss of labor and money, what should the generals of Tongguan do if they are killed at any time? You lead 5,000 people to wait outside Tongguan, I went to Jingshi to calm the hearts of the adults and rush back, if we want to destroy the former Ming, we have to start from this Tongguan. ”

Several generals beside him nodded again and again, agreeing with his statement very much, and then made up a plan, he led a large army to calm the hearts of the people, and this general led a partial division to keep an eye on Tongguan to prevent them from making any changes.

Before leaving, Tu Haiqian instructed: "If you go this time, no fault is meritorious, as long as you can hold on to prevent the people and horses of Tongguan from fighting back, it is a great achievement, and you must not compete with it, and don't forget your surname when you see others showing weakness." ”

This general is not young, and he has already passed the time when he was young and vigorous, so he nodded again and again when he heard this: "The villain instructed by the marshal has written it down, although the marshal goes to quell the rebellion, the rest of the things will be handed over to the last general, even if they scold the eighth generation of ancestors of the last general, the last general will never fight." ”

"Hmph, let you read more on weekdays, but you don't listen, this Han slang is learned very quickly, and you can't learn it."

The general knew that Tu Hai was not scolding him, and smiled: "This Han people's foul language is much more reasonable than what is written, when our fathers fought the world, which of their Han court was not high, and it was not that we beat us so that we couldn't find anything?" So it's okay if you don't read the Han people's books, you can learn this foul language, and you can still respond to the scene at a critical time. ”

Tu Hai smiled bitterly, didn't bother to argue with him, and ran to the Beijing division with the army, if he had known that Cheng Xiaolian was in the army, he would have repented. But when the military acts, it is necessary to speculate with common sense that he has not dealt with Cheng Xiaolian much, how do you know that this lord likes to take risks?

This is also one of the reasons why Cheng Xiaolian dared to trust him, Tu Hai didn't know him, he didn't know anything about his personality or appearance, so he was given a chance, although he was in danger in Xi'an Mansion, but that was because Jin Yiwei's betrayal leaked the news, Tu Hai has not linked these two family matters together for the time being, and he doesn't even think that His Royal Highness Qianming will lead troops at all.

What he thinks is that His Royal Highness the former Ming is just a pretense, saying that he can fight well, but it is just a nonsense made up by those courtiers of the former Ming Dynasty in order to confuse the people into rebelling with them, but as long as this person is killed, the former Ming court will be leaderless, Tu Hai knows the character of these people very well, once he has no words to count, he will start to fight separately, and he will be able to break himself when the time comes.

So although he wanted to kill Cheng Xiaolian, he didn't think that Cheng Xiaolian would be in this army.

Cheng Xiaolian's life is not easy now, as Tuhai inferred, although their more than 4,000 people defeated Mu Zhan's 8,000 cavalry, their own damage is not small.

"The Manchu cavalry is famous all over the world, and it really can't be underestimated."

"Your Highness, isn't it too late to say these now, there are less than two thousand of our soldiers left, and we have to cross such a large territory as the grassland, if those tribes in the grassland listen to the words of the imperial court and surround us, we will not be able to escape."

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "If you want to surround them, you have already surrounded us, you don't want to think about it, Mongolian warriors are also warriors who ride horses and shoot, why should they listen to the words of the Manchu Eight Banners, and it feels good to be a slave to others?" Now that the world is in chaos, they can't wait for the Central Plains to be in chaos, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”

"If you're not afraid of 10,000, we're afraid of what if, we can't afford to toss."

"Put your heart back in your stomach, even if we are in trouble, the trouble will come from Wu Tubone, and it will definitely not be another tribe!"
