"Overseer, Huang Taiji has suddenly mobilized his army and is advancing towards the Zunhua Realm.”
"What?"
Yuan Chonghuan, who was wearing thick armor, had a puzzled expression.
After taking down Zunhua, Huang Taiji gathered his main forces and headed towards Ji Prefecture.
This was also the eastern gate of the capital.
As long as they took down Jizhou, they would be able to reach the capital without any obstructions.
Tong Zhou's defense was simply unable to stop Huang Taiji's 100,000 troops.
Yuan Chonghuan was certain that Huang Taiji's ultimate goal was the capital.
The reason why he had chased after Huang Taiji without fighting was to lure him to the capital.
Relying on the capital's powerful defenses to defeat Huang Taiji.
This was also related to his military philosophy: Defend and fight!
He had repeatedly defeated Huang Taiji in Liaodong because of a tactic: With strong walls and cannons.
This tactic could be said to be a hundred times effective.
After all, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and the others had yet to join the Houjin, so they had not brought them cannons or forging techniques.
Therefore, Slave Jian's siege ability was not strong, and he still relied on traditional siege methods.
Zhu Heng wanted to rely on Guang Ning City to defeat Huang Taiji and used this tactic.
It had to be said that Overseer Yuan was later killed by Chongzhen without complaint.
At the same time, it could be seen that Overseer Yuan's EQ was very low and Zhengye's sense of smell was very bad.
This tactic could be used in Liaodong or anywhere else in the country, but not in the capital.
This was because the capital was home to many officials and princes.
Of course, this was because history had already taken a turn here. Perhaps it would develop in a different direction.
At this moment, Great Overseer Yuan's mind was filled with doubts.
Why did Huang Taiji suddenly give up on the capital and return to Zunhua?
They had already taken down the venerable form. Logically speaking, there was nothing here that would attract them.
Could it be that the imperial army from the capital had already arrived, causing Huang Taiji to flinch?
However, it was also impossible. He was very clear about the various armies that were trying to save the king.
At this moment, the main forces of the various reinforcements had yet to arrive.
"Continue to follow them. Wherever they go, we will follow.”
Great Overseer Yuan thought about it, but he still didn't know what had happened.
Hence, they proceeded according to the original plan.
Not long after, the information from the Venerate realm was sent over.
Huang Taiji brought nearly 100,000 people, countless rations, equipment, and so on and set off.
It looked like the route was in the direction of Xifeng Pass.
This was also the entrance to the capital.
This time, Overseer Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
What exactly happened? Why did Huang Taiji suddenly retreat?
He retreated in such a hurry. Could something big have happened in Liaodong?
Soon, Overseer Yuan received a piece of news that left him dumbfounded.
He finally understood why Huang Taiji had retreated in such a panic.
It turned out that his lair was about to be raided.
"Hahaha, well done, well done.”
Overseer Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked,""What's up with this Zhu Heng? And what was going on with this General of Guang Ning? What exactly happened in Liaodong during this period of time?”
Facing Overseer Yuan's three consecutive questions, the reporter gave a very detailed answer.
After hearing this statement, even Overseer Yuan could not help but be dumbfounded.
"My Liaodong actually produced such a ferocious army. Wonderful, strange!”
This was too strange. Zhu Heng's rise was completely illogical.
A few days ago, he was just a centurion whose fortress was broken by Slave Jian.
When he returned, he suddenly had an elite troop that was not inferior to the main force of the Guanning Army.
How could this not be strange?
"It seems that after returning to Liaodong this time, I have to properly interact with this Zhu Heng.”
As the governor of Ji Liao, Guang Ning's commander was naturally under his command.
However, he did not know that this commander was different from all the current commanders of Da Ming. He was not someone he could command.
Meanwhile, Chongzhen was overjoyed.
The nobles and ministers heaved a sigh of relief.
This included Sun Chengzong.
"Good, good fight. I didn't expect this Zhu Heng to be so brave. He just killed 3,000 Jian Slaves a few days ago, and now he killed another 10,000.”
"Forcing Huang Taiji to retreat is an unprecedented victory.”
Huang Taiji led a hundred thousand soldiers to threaten the capital, putting a lot of pressure on Chongzhen and the other ministers.
If the capital were to fall, he might become the ruler of a subjugated nation.
Great Ming died in his hands, how could he face his ancestors?
Zhou Tingru, the Grand Secretary of the cabinet, stood up and said,""Congratulations, Your Majesty. This is the manifestation of Emperor Chi Zu, who bestowed upon me the Deputy General and the Fierce General of Great Ming.”
"In my opinion, with Zhu Heng guarding Liaodong, the Jian Krupp will no longer dare to invade our Great Ming.”
Sun Chengzong frowned, bowed, and retorted,""Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan is my student. The reason why he organized his troops was to wait for an opportunity to strike, not to pursue and not attack.”
Chong Zhen's expression had already returned to normal. When he heard the two ministers 'words, he said indifferently,"This matter will be discussed later. Let Yuan Chonghuan enter the capital and give me an explanation.”
"Now, let's talk about the second victory in Guang Ning.”
"A few days ago, Zhen had just bestowed Zhu Heng with the title of commander. Now that he has made such a great contribution, everyone feels that Zhen should reward this meritorious person like this.”
Just the fact that Zhu Heng forced Huang Taiji to retreat was enough for him to be rewarded.
The commander was already the highest military officer of the field troops.
Although he had no rank, his power was not small.
Sun Chengzong's eyes flashed. He bowed again and said,""Since Zhu Heng has taken down Guang Ning, as long as he can hold on, he will be able to join forces with Guan Ning's army and form a pincer attack on Hou Jin, so that Slave Jian will never dare to offend our Ming Dynasty again.”
"After my Daming recovers and has a strong army, Jian Lu can be destroyed with a wave of his hand.”
Chong Zhen was smart and immediately understood what Sun Chengzong meant.
Thus, he nodded and said,"In that case, Zhu Heng will be conferred the title of Commander of the Third Rank of Guangning Wei Zheng. He will be granted the title of Lord Pinglu. I will give him the right to act as he pleases."
As soon as the reward was given, the whole court was shocked.
Zhu Heng would become the fastest person to be promoted in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
