At the same time.
A thousand miles away, outside Luanzhou City, in the Ming Dynasty military camp.
Banners fluttered in the wind, and the army was disciplined. From time to time, the roars of soldiers training could be heard.
Chongzhen's imperial edict arrived.
In the commander's tent, Sun Chengzong was kneeling with the generals to receive the imperial edict.
Sun Chengzong had an extraordinary appearance, and his beard was like a halberd. Even though he was over 60 years old, he was still full of energy, giving people a sense of dignity without being angry.
After the eunuch read out the imperial edict, his small mouth looked as if it was smeared with honey as he congratulated Sun Chengzong." Congratulations, Overseer Sun. Congratulations, Overseer Sun. The Emperor is very grateful to you!"”
"Eunuch Gong, you must be tired from the journey.”
Sun Chengzong naturally knew that the eunuch was asking him for money, so he said,""Men, please take a good rest and have a cup of tea.”
Immediately, a deputy general came in and invited the eunuch to the tent next door.
"Master!"
As soon as the eunuch left, Yuan Chonghuan knelt in front of Sun Chengzong and cried,""In the Ji Liao war, I…I have let down my teacher and the Imperial Court!”
Sun Chengzong's solemn face showed no emotion at all. He raised his hand and waved to his left and right.
Then, Sun Chengzong walked around Yuan Chonghuan with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"You still acknowledge me as your teacher?" Sun Chengzong suddenly said.
"I will never forget teacher's teachings. However, in this Ji Liao war, I have embarrassed teacher!”
Yuan Chonghuan bowed.
"Yuan Chonghuan, I don't dare to be your teacher!”
Sun Chengzong suddenly shouted,"How dare you ignore the country and secretly collude with the Houjin. Your evil heart should be punished!”
This time, when Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, Sun Chengzong did not plead for mercy for Yuan Chonghuan because he also believed that Yuan Chonghuan had colluded with the Houjin!
"Teacher, I didn't. I didn't dare!”
Yuan Chonghuan's body trembled slightly, as if he was frightened by Sun Chengzong.
"Hehe, there's still something that you, Yuan Chonghuan, don't dare to do?”
Sun Chengzong sneered." The Houjin army went south, and you followed them all the way to the capital. You almost caused the capital to fall. You made a grave mistake!”
"Where do you put the Imperial Court and His Majesty?”
"Is there anything you don't dare to do?"
Yuan Chonghuan quickly explained," Master, the Houjin bandits came with great momentum. When I received the news, I didn't dare to mobilize too many troops to prevent the Guanning defense line from being damaged. I only brought my own troops, 10,000 Guanning cavalry, and rushed into the capital to help the king."”
"You also know how powerful the Houjin Tartars are. How can my mere ten thousand soldiers dare to confront them?”
"I can only mediate later!"
Sun Chengzong's expression was still cold as he said,""Yuan Chonghuan, don't use these perfunctory words to perfunctory me!”
"Your 10,000 Guanning Cavalry followed the Houjin. Why didn't the Houjin Tartars eat your 10,000 Guanning Cavalry along the way?”
"There are only two possibilities. Either the Houjin Tartars don't dare to do it, or you secretly collude with them!”
"But if the Hou Jin Tartars dare to attack the capital, do you think they won't dare to devour your ten thousand Guanning Cavalry?”
Yuan Chonghuan felt extremely bitter.
"This…I don't know either, but I really didn't secretly contact the Houjin. I just wanted to temporarily stabilize the Houjin in the name of peace negotiations!”
"I'm wholeheartedly doing this for the sake of the Great Ming Dynasty. I have no selfishness at all!”
Yuan Chonghuan explained earnestly,""You also know that the imperial court's treasury is empty now, and the soldiers on the nine borders are often short of food and pay. The morale of the soldiers is unstable, and the soldiers will not dare to fight to the death. If the Houjin attack the Guanning defense line now, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
"I privately negotiated peace with the Houjin. That was just a delaying tactic. I wanted to temporarily stabilize the Houjin, not really negotiate peace with the Houjin!”
"Are you serious?" Sun Chengzong frowned.”
"Really!"
Yuan Chonghuan suddenly raised his head and said with a determined expression,"If my words are false, I will definitely die a horrible death in the future!”
Sun Chengzong's expression softened a little and he said,""In that case, I'll believe you for the time being. If I find out that you have a letter with Hou Jin's subordinates again, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between master and disciple!”
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Yuan Chonghuan felt extremely bitter.
After experiencing this, how could he not know how to restrain himself!
"Humph!"
" Hmph!" Sun Chengzong grunted and said," I already know about the war in Luanzhou. You can talk to them later about how to recover Luanzhou!"”
Sun Chengzong walked out of the tent.
Yuan Chonghuan slowly stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
……
……
Shengjing.
Great Government Hall.
Huang Taiji is discussing with the Eight Banners.
Huang Taiji's body was extremely tall and sturdy. At this moment, he was in his prime. He leaned back in his chair, looking lazy but exuding a sense of majesty.
"Hehe, although we didn't take down the capital of the Ming Dynasty this time, once that Chongzhen brat has executed Yuan Chonghuan, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's nine borders will definitely be disappointed!”
"When that happens, the Guanning defense line will collapse!”
Dorgon's face was flushed red as he said joyfully.
"In the current Great Ming, only the border troops in the Guanning area can still fight. The so-called elite army of the Great Ming, the capital camp, is simply unable to withstand a single blow.”
"Do you know that when we attacked the capital, some of the Ming soldiers didn't even know how to use their weapons? They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!"”
"Haha!"
The entire hall burst into laughter, filled with joy.
This time, they led the army to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although they did not obtain a partial victory, it could even be said that they returned without success.
However, who knew that Chongzhen would give them such a huge gift. Just as they retreated, they captured Yuan Chonghuan and wanted to execute him.
With Yuan Chonghuan dead, the Guanning defense line would collapse!
From now on, Da Ming will forever lose the right to attack the north!
And they entering the fortress would become the norm, and they could snatch Da Ming as long as they wanted!
Big Ming couldn't even stop him!
No one dared to stop him!
"This war is all thanks to Mister Fan's strategy.”Huang Taiji said faintly.
The Mr. Fan he was referring to was naturally Fan Wencheng!
Fan Wencheng was originally from the Ming Dynasty. He had relied on the Houjin Dynasty and had given them many plans and made many military achievements. Huang Taiji trusted him very much.
This also made Dorgon and Dordor praise him.
Fan Wancheng was very humble and did not dare to answer.
At this moment, Huang Taiji's personal army suddenly rushed into the hall and shouted,"Great Khan, we have sent a secret letter from the fake branch!”
Huang Taiji's eyes suddenly opened,"Hand it over!"
The soldiers didn't dare to hesitate and quickly handed over the secret letter.
Dorgon, Dordor, and the others were all outstanding.
At this time, the news from Da Ming was very likely that Chongzhen had executed Yuan Chonghuan!
