As Zunhua City was recaptured by the Ming army, the war situation surrounding the Jianlu invasion of the Ming Pass was quietly changing, and the balance of war began to tilt towards the Ming Dynasty.

They were all suffocating with anger towards the officers and soldiers of the Ming army who accompanied them to the battle, especially when they saw the Ming people who were brutally massacred by the Jianbu in Zunhua City.

If such a tragedy happened to them, how should they react?

"Currently around Santun Camp, our Ming Dynasty has formed an encirclement trend. The main force of the Jianlu troops who invaded Qian'an also retreated to San Tun Camp."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the people gathered in the tent with a sharp look, pointed to the map in front of him, and said: "The main battlefield currently headed by Jingjing Wei, Tianxiong Army, Denglai reinforcements, and Ma Shilong's troops is three villages away.

Ten miles away from the camp, a very wide defense line of tunnels was dug.

On the left battlefield, the Zhongyong Army led by Sun Zushou also used the tunnel defense line to assume a posture to attack Hongshan Pass.

On the right flank of the battlefield, the army led by Sun Chengzong took advantage of the main force of the Jianlu troops to return to support and dispatched more than 10,000 vanguard troops to rush to the predetermined area.

During this period, the cavalry led by Mangui and Zhao also launched several raids while the main force of Jianlu was returning for reinforcements. Although they did not cause too many casualties to Jianlu, they effectively slowed down Jianlu's attack.

Return speed.

At this stage, they are using Taiping Village as a base to warn the rebels that they may launch military operations on the rear lines."

While describing the current war situation in detail, Emperor Chongzhen observed the reactions of everyone in the tent. When he saw Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Lu Xiangsheng, and Ma Shilong, his eyes shone brightly, and there was a fighting spirit between his brows. He nodded slightly. As for Zhu Chunchen,

Nobles such as Tang Guozuo were not under the observation of Emperor Chongzhen at all.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen stood with his arms akimbo and said with a fierce expression: "The past few days that you were worried about were just as I had expected. The armies of our Ming Dynasty, under the unified deployment of the front commander of the Military Aircraft Department, surrounded the Santun camp.

A steady-state encirclement is constructed.

After regrouping the scattered captives in the Santun Camp area, the next thing we have to do is to conduct regional coordinated operations, show our Ming Dynasty’s bloody spirit, find suitable fighters, rebuild the captives, and expel them

Out of the gate!!"

The current military strength of the Ming Dynasty is still too weak. It is absolutely impossible to completely wipe out the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji in one battle.

Although Emperor Chongzhen deduced in his mind more than once whether this impossibility could be made possible, without exception, this was impossible.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has some advantages in the current battlefield situation."

Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward, bowed his hands to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "But we must beware of Jianlu and break out of the encirclement created by Ming Dynasty.

Take advantage of the large number of cavalry under their command, fight in a roundabout way, and form a pincer attack with the Jianlu who are guarding the Three Tun Camps. In this way, our Ming Dynasty will fall into passivity."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly, expressing his approval of what Lu Xiangsheng said. Although before that, he relied on regaining Zunhua and threatening the Santun Camp, vowing to take back the key passes captured by the Jianlu.

Taiji could only lead the main force of Jianlu to return reinforcements.

But now the Ming Dynasty has deployed a stable encirclement around the Santun Camp area. If the conventional combat method is followed, it is absolutely impossible for Huang Taiji to threaten the Ming Dynasty and achieve his own political and military goals.

According to Huang Taiji's character, it would definitely not work if he tried his best to fight in a roundabout way from Liaodong, enter the Ming Dynasty's pass, and ask him to lead his troops to evacuate the Ming Dynasty in despair.

"Lu Qing, what do you think we should do?"

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "The military meeting held this time is to discuss the follow-up war deployment. Any good ideas can be expressed.

This is not a court meeting, and we are not talking about it. I hope you all can come up with good ideas and help Ming Dynasty win this battle!"

What a great opportunity to win over people's hearts. If we can truly win over Wang Qia and Li Banghua under our banner and brand them as the Party of God, then it will play a vital role in checking and balancing all forces in the DPRK in the future.

"Your Majesty, I think we should show the magnanimity of going to heaven."

Lu Xiangsheng said without thinking: "The situation is now very clear. I guess that the senior officials of the invading Jianlu are also discussing countermeasures for this war.

Therefore, according to my opinion, why don’t Your Majesty send an edict to the invading Jianqi to the Santun camp and order the slave chief Taiji to pay an audience?”

"..."

Wang Qia, Li Banghua and others looked at Lu Xiangsheng in surprise. Obviously, they did not expect that Lu Xiangsheng would say such a thing.

What benefits will this bring to Ming Dynasty?

"Do you anger Huang Taiji?"

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, walked back and forth with his hands on his hips, and lowered his head and said: "Lu Qing's suggestion is good. My edict has been sent to Jianlu. If Huang Taiji comes under the imperial edict, we can look for opportunities to get rid of him. In this way, Jianlu will surely

Chaos, of course this possibility is very low.

If Huang Taiji does not dare to obey the edict, it will also mess up the morale of Jianlu. If this is the case, the edict written to Jianlu must contain remarks that can anger Jianlu."

Lu Xiangsheng took out a memorial from his arms, handed it to Emperor Chongzhen respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to write some before this."

"Hmm? Bring it to me and let me take a look."

When it comes to fighting on the battlefield alone, perhaps ten civil servants of the Ming Dynasty tied together cannot defeat one Jianlu. But when it comes to writing, even those ten Jianqi who are tied together are no match for one Ming Dynasty civil official.

"Ha ha……"

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen, after reading the memorial written by Lu Xiangsheng, couldn't help laughing and said: "Lu Qing, your sword is really sharp.

If Huang Taiji sees this, he will be so angry that he vomits blood."

Lu Xiangsheng said modestly: "I'm just a master of the axe."

Lu Jiandou is a good comrade and must be cultivated well.

Who said the Ming Dynasty didn’t have talented people? Aren’t they all in front of us?

As long as we give them room to display, Ming Dynasty can still be saved!

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, handed the memorial in his hand to Wang Qia, and said: "Wang Qing, in the name of the military commander, immediately use Lu Qing's memorial as the basis to give my dog ​​slave Huang Taiji, Mingfa

An edict.

In Mingfa's edict, it should be specifically stated that his master wants to see him and ask him what he wants to do. It depends on whether he, a dog slave, dares to come.

Lu Qing, you immediately go and select the three thousand elites of the Heavenly Hero Army. Duke Cheng, you go and gather all the nobles and descendants of the avant-garde army for me.
