At this time, Yanguli stood up and said, "This road is not only difficult to walk, but there are twice as many passes on the road as from Jizhou, if all the defenders in it come out to intercept it, won't my army be even more unable to leave?"

Fan Wencheng smiled faintly and said, "Among the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, only the Guanning army is the most capable of fighting, followed by the Xuanfu and Datong armies, and the Gan and Shaanxi bandit armies are again, and the rest are not to be feared." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow Jizhou and Shimenzhai are stationed in the Guanning army, if they take this road, they will come to hinder them. However, most of the troops stationed in Baodi and Yutian are local garrisons, and our army should not dare to stop them. If there is, it can also be defeated with the momentum of breaking bamboo. ”

Fan Wencheng was right, in order to prevent Jiannu from advancing eastward, He Kegang arranged most of the Guanning troops brought from Liaodong in Qian'an and other places east of Zunhua, and did not arrange them in Baodi and Yutian. Most of them were garrison troops, and there was basically no combat effectiveness.

Huang Taiji thought for a while and said, "In this case, let's follow Mr.'s plan!"

The idea was agreed, and the Houjin army immediately pulled out and forcibly fled in the direction of Yutian.

More than an hour later, the 3,000 Guanning army and 2,000 Xuanhua troops from Tongzhou rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of Zu Dashou, but found that the Jiannu army had withdrawn.

After Zu Dashou learned that the 5,000 cavalry of Jiannu were defeated by He Kegang, Qin Shuhuai and others, he was surprised that he didn't say anything for a long time!

There is no doubt that this was the first victory won by the Ming army in the real field war against Jiannu since Sarhu. Because although Qin Shuhuai's Hengling victory was also in the wilderness and destroyed more enemies, in the final analysis, he took advantage of the ambush, and he could not really fight against Jiannu in the wilderness.

When he heard He Kegang mention that Qin Shuhuai was the first merit in this battle, Zu Dashou was even more shocked. He didn't say a word, and immediately left He Kegang to find Qin Shuhuai, to see who this legendary "Demon of the Great Ming" was.

When Zu Dashou found Qin Shuhuai, Qin Shuhuai was being bandaged. He saw a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sturdy body, but his body was densely covered with long scars, from the back to the chest, from the left arm to the right arm, almost no part of it was intact. Those scars are criss-crossed, like a dense net, especially a few new wounds that are deeper and more visible, but the young man is talking and laughing freely, indifferent.

This is Qin Shuhuai's legacy after more than 20 battles, from the time he stepped into the Jianghe Gang to accept the first task of assassinating the second son of Juqing, to the battle of helping the Jianghe Gang capture the major docks, and then to the Battle of Luowenyu, the Martial Arts Conference, the Hengling Victory and then to the Hexi Defense Battle just now. Almost every time he fights, he adds one or more scars, and by now, he has naturally added as many as a dense net.

A young doctor was giving Qin Shuhuai medicine, and when he saw his deeply scarred and almost skinless body, he couldn't help but shed tears.

When Zu Dashou saw this, he couldn't help but have slightly wet eyes.

Young man!

Zu Dashou stood silently on the side for a long time, lest he disturb the doctor's rescue, and after the doctor finished bandaging, he stepped forward and solemnly hugged his fists, "Zu Dashou is here to meet General Qin!"

According to his official position, Zu Dashou, as the chief soldier, is taller than Qin Shuhuai, a guerrilla general, but Zu Dashou calls himself a name, and calling Qin Shuhuai a general is to express his heavy respect.

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, returned the salute, and said, "Chief Soldier Zu has tormented the little brother. ”

"General Qin, I have heard about you bloody Luo Wenyu and playing Huang Taiji a long time ago, and I thought that such a young hero would definitely see him in the future. A few days ago, I heard that you had won a great victory over Jiannu in Hengling, and had annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies, and my admiration was even greater. I was ordered to come to my aid today, but I didn't want to hear that you led your brothers to defeat the five thousand elite horsemen of Jiannu, which was really shocking, so I couldn't help but come and see you, the rumored 'Demon of the Great Ming'!"

Qin Shuhuai said with a smile, "General Zu said that he was joking, how dare he be the demon of the Ming Dynasty." Won a few battles by luck, it was nothing more than the brothers' lives, and the emperor was blessed. ”

Zu Dashou laughed, "General Qin is right. The word "demon" in this "demon of the Ming Dynasty" is not very appropriate for the general, and the disaster of the demon is also the disaster of the country, and I think that people with ulterior motives deliberately want to discredit the general. This general thinks that General Qin should be my Daming humerus!"

As a general of the Guanning Army, Zu Dashou has been stationed outside for a long time, so he naturally wants to reconcile with Qin Shuhuai, a popular man in front of the emperor, so he does not hesitate to praise him. However, in addition to the utilitarian component, he also said the truth, without any hypocrisy.

After a brief handling of the injury, the congregation will immediately come together to discuss what to do next.

At this time, the spies came to report that the Jiannu army had been drawn and marched in the direction of Yutian.

Everyone realizes that Jiannu is going to be withdrawn!

This means that this change that shook the government and the opposition is about to come to an end!

The atmosphere at the meeting was immediately lively, and everyone's faces were smiling!

Among them, Guan Ningjun's people were the most excited. Jiannu did not arrive in Gyeonggi, so the face of the Guanning army was still there. You must know that the imperial court gives the Guanning army a lot of money every year, and it is the only army in the entire Ming Dynasty that has no arrears. If Jiannu hits the Beijing Division, it will be strange if the Guan Ning Army is not pointed out by Qianfu!

In addition, since Jiannu did not arrive in Jingshi, the charge of Yuan Inspector's ineffective supervision can also be lighter. These officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army have followed Yuan Chonghuan so much, and they still have deep feelings for him.

After the excitement, the generals realized that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Now there are only 6,000 main forces in the Jiannu army, if they can be intercepted, there is a great possibility of encirclement and annihilation!

After several victories, the morale of the Ming army is not only high, but also its self-confidence has been greatly improved.

After a brief discussion, Zu Dashou and several generals of the Xuanhua Army decided to follow the Jiannu army and wait for an opportunity to attack and harass. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Yuan Chonghuan, suggesting that he transfer troops from Miyun, Tongzhou and other places, go to the line of Jizhou and Shimenzhai, and then intercept Jiannu on the periphery of Zunhua.

Qin Shuhuai thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this idea, so he also seconded it.

However, he is not going to be involved in the follow-up. The first is that the Jianghe Gang suffered heavy losses in this Jisi Change, and the two halls brought before were almost wiped out, and he didn't want to suffer any more losses. The second is that by now, whether in the court or in the rivers and lakes, he has earned enough prestige, and it is time to go back and transform his prestige into tangible benefits. The last point is also a very important point, that is, I have saved too much credit, and it is time to give a little to the Guanning Army, the Xuanhua Army and the Tun Guards in various places. What results will lead to the high power cover master, he is very clear.

Soon, Zu Dashou set off with 3,000 Guanning troops and 2,000 Xuanhua troops to follow the Jiannu army.

When the 3,000 reinforcements of the Jianghe Gang arrived late, and when they saw that the war was over, they all sighed and beat their chests! After several months of joint practice, everyone finally didn't even have a chance to meet Jiannu. Several hall masters complained for a long time, and strongly asked Qin Shuhuai to agree to them to pursue Jiannu, but they were kicked out by Qin Shuhuai one by one.

On November 30 of the second year of Chongzhen, Qin Shuhuai took the rest of the troops from Hexi to return to the court.
