Chapter 531 530 Grass Valley

In just one night, Shunyi's documents for help were sent to the capital, and Miyun and Huairou in the north also sent war reports to the capital one after another.

"The Tartars attacked Miyun and went south immediately and attacked Shunyi County. Huairou didn't even go?"

Wei Guangde was stunned when Zhang Ji, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, learned that the news was sent to the capital last night. He did not expect that Altan Khan entered the pass this time and did not even plan to guard the retreat.

Yes, so far, the Ming Dynasty court still thought that Altan Khan was leading the team into the Great Wall, just like more than ten years ago.

The war report sent by Qianziling Pass has actually been sent to the Ministry of War, but it has not been verified yet.

If the Tartars were reported in a hurry, only more than 10,000 people came in, and the Tartars had a back team or had a wrong judgment, the Ministry of War would not be able to escape.

At this time, it will be no harm to pause a little.

At least, the Ministry of War reported that tens of thousands of Tartars entered the pass at the beginning, there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Wei Guangde was also thinking about this in his mind at this time.

At that time, the entire border guard will be stabbed indiscriminately and will be hit in a mess, and I am afraid that the blame will be even greater.

"What did he doubt?"

However, if the capital is threatened, more than ten thousand Tartars will definitely fall into the dilemma of insufficient troops.

As Hu Zhen thought, at this time, the governor of Ji Liao, Yang, was as anxious as an ant on the hot pan.

The personal soldiers replied, "In addition, Deputy General Hu also said that he had contacted other pass officials and troops, and no signs of large groups of Tartar soldiers outside the wall were found, and he suspected."

However, Wei Guangde was not optimistic about it. The elite should be still near Shanhaiguan at this time.

However, now he was staring at the map, not thinking about strengthening Miyun's defense work, but looking for opportunities, an opportunity to make meritorious and promote.

"The meaning of Deputy General Hu, seeing this group of Tartars' actions, it seems that they were coming in to loot. According to the notice from the Qianziling Pass, the Tartars had more than 10,000 people, and no other places were found to have gathered in the Tatar army. It should be that there was no support."

I don’t plan to spend the night in Jizhou today, but I just walked through the city and went to Sanhe. I would like to go wherever I went. I would like to camp outside and must arrive at Sanhe as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Tongzhou flank.

It took several days to calculate the defense gap near the Gyeonggi. During these days, the Tatars only needed to be wary of the Ming army in Santun camp and they could plunder them wantonly.

Although the Tartars broke through the Miyun defense zone, they kept Miyun himself and made no contributions, and even if they were punished, they would not be very serious.

Because behind Jizhen is the capital, the Ming army has a large number of troops stationed, so it is not suitable for launching such an offensive, or it has never been done like this before.

"What do you say in Huzhen?"

There were similar actions on the east side of Jizhen, but the place was still far away from the capital, so the capital did not need martial law.

It is better to take advantage of the crisis to show your face in front of King Yu, and to improve your status in his mind more realistically.

According to common practice, it is impossible for only tens of thousands of Tartars to go deep into the Ming realm too far.

Do you want to make meritorious service and advance?

Of course Wei Guangde wanted to.

"Taohu Valley?"

Moreover, Miyun also reported that the Gubeikou garrison sent people to contact their city, that is, the Gubeikou Pass was not attacked by the Tartars, and there were no traces of the Tartars outside the wall.

It will be safe to evacuate before the surrounding reinforcements arrive.

Although Miyun's location does not mean that it completely blocks the Tartars' pass to return to the grassland, the Tartars completely gave up the attack, and they felt strange no matter how they thought it was.

"Report to the Grand Commander, Deputy General Hu had sent someone to contact Gubeikou Governor General Guo Hu yesterday and dispatched a group of elite troops to Miyun to stand by.

But when the Ming army gathered and launched a large counterattack, Miyun could not use such an excuse to avoid the war. He could only send himself to the guillotine. Miyun's guards would not be so stupid.

At the same time, he also issued a military order to Sun Bin, the general of Ji Town, ordering him to lead his troops to attack the enemy.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde felt that he still couldn't do anything.

In a hurry, he ordered the army out of the pass to return to the capital, and while rectifying the people around him, he immediately left Shanhaiguan and headed towards the capital.

In fact, during this period, the Tartars' offensives along the Ming Great Wall were often in the form of slaughtering grass valleys, that is, they rushed in and ran away after grabbing.

With the speed of the cavalry, you can reach Tongzhou from Sanhe in half a day, and then go to the capital city not far. In fact, you can reach it in one day.

Of course, they were surrounded, worried that the Tartars would hide in the dark and dare not leave the city to destroy the remaining Tartars outside the city, which makes sense.

If there are really troops in the back team, why don’t you come in from Qianzilingguan together? It’s slower, after all, you have crossed the Great Wall.

Once you attack Jizhen, especially when you break the pass near Miyun, most of the spearheads will reach the capital.

After this time, Yang Xuan’s official position is probably not guaranteed.

I traveled south to Yunnan and could reach the capital in a few days.

Since a large army will arrive here soon, it is estimated that the Tartars will run away by then. He only needs to lead the army to follow and chase after him, and there is no need to take any lead.

Shake your head and sigh.

You should know that once the Ming army gathers a large army to kill, the Tatars retreat and arrives in front of the mountain, the Miyun garrison will fight. Even if they cannot stop their escape route, it will delay their retreat time. At that time, the Ming army behind them rushed up to surround them, so what way can they have to live?

Wei Guangde couldn't figure it out. According to Miyun's war report, the Tartars' troops were indeed tens of thousands, but now there are only a small number of Tartars outside Miyun City.

Sun Bin asked with a frown.

Then, Sun Bin thought, since the Tartars came in and plundered, let them rob them.

After entering the pass, they did not guarantee the safety of their retreat. They gave up attacking Miyun and hurried south and appeared directly in Shunyi. It was similar to entering the pass and attacking Caogu, and came in just to plunder.

No matter when, the safety of the capital will definitely be the first priority.

The troops stationed in Miyun, Shunyi and other places along the way could only protect themselves. Those soldiers could reinforce the pass when danger occurred in the Great Wall Pass. Of course, the field battle was not the opponent of the Tartars.

Or there are large armies of the Tartars hidden outside the pass, such as Gubeikou.

On the contrary, the Ming army, due to insufficient combat power, did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Tartars because they were worried about any mistakes. After all, this place is in the Gyeonggi area.

However, this possibility is very low and it doesn't make sense in many places.

When the Ming army from Santun Camp came over, the time could be reduced by half, but I didn’t know how powerful the combat power was.

However, due to distance, when his handwriting was delivered to Santun Camp, Sun Bin was almost at Sanhe County.

He, Vice General Miyun, also knew about the dispute between Jizhen and the Ministry of War.

"Didn't the Tartars approach the capital or Tongzhou?"

The personal soldiers replied.

Although these things are of little significance now, once King Yu ascends the throne in the future, his own benefits will come.

Also, wait for Jizhen to clean up the remaining troops in Santun Camp.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde felt more and more that the Tartars entered the pass seemed very simple and had no intention of threatening the capital. After all, there was only a few people, what was enough?

However, the opportunity is not obvious now, so Hu Zhen does not intend to act rashly, but instead waits for the changes.

He got the Tatars's broken Modao Valley at Shanhaiguan. After entering the city wall of Kunziling, he felt that something was wrong.

Sun Bin became suspicious at this moment. When he heard that Hu Zhen was also suspicious, he immediately asked dissatisfied.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde's heart moved.

Although Wei Guangde went to see the soldiers in Jizhen, it happened several years ago after all, and the ones they showed were naturally elite soldiers. Wei Guangde was worried that a bunch of old, weak and remnants could only be pulled out from the Santun camp.

But after thinking for a long time, it seemed that they could do nothing except wait for Xuanfu and Datong Army to arrive.

Speaking of this, the personal soldiers hesitated a little.

Although he could have been sent by Ma Fang, he asked him to lead his troops not to go directly to the capital, but to Huairou and rush to Miyun, breaking the return route of the Tartars.

This group of Tartars stayed in the pass for a short time, and the Ming army would inevitably choose to escape after the assembly.

Since the war broke out in the past two days, Wei Guangde naturally had no intention of going to school to record the ceremony, so he arrived at Prince Yu's mansion early this morning.

But they were worried that they would really block people in the pass. At that time, they would wander around and search for passes along the Great Wall to break through the pass. The Ming army would be afraid that they would not be able to stop it.

They were waiting for the opportunity when the Ming Dynasty imperial court drew troops to siege the Tartars. Only at this time did the large group of troops take advantage of the opportunity?

Yesterday, he received the news and hurriedly gathered the remaining cavalry in Santun Camp to advance westward. He entered Zunhua that night. Early this morning, he led all the cavalry out of the city and rushed towards Jizhou City.

Although I am also a deputy general, I am a member of Miyun. If I make meritorious and promoted, I can become a general in a town.

Shanhaiguan is about 600 miles away from the capital, and the Ming army's normal marching speed will take about ten days. Even if the marching is accelerated due to military information, the cavalry is simple. It can be reached in two or three days. However, if the people are trapped and there are no horses, they will definitely not be able to enter the battlefield as soon as possible.

Moreover, thinking that the relationship between the White Lotus Sect seemed to be very familiar with the Ming army, Ma Fang also said that the Tartars' offensive was very purposeful and well-organized.

He led his army to Sanhe. If the Tartars really wanted to attack the capital, he would have time to rescue him even if he rushed his horse.

By this time, since the Tartars did not attack Miyun and Huairou, Wei Guangde began to doubt the purpose of the Tartars' attack.

I have insufficient troops around me, but the responsibility lies with Yang Xuan, and it has nothing to do with me. Then I will just hand over Yang Xuan’s order to the Ministry of War.

If you can calculate these things on your own, the Tartars who have been fighting with the Ming army for a long time will not be unaware of it.

After he received the news of the horse exploration last night, he had already guessed the news that he had sent back from various passes in the Great Wall, so he said that to Sun Bin.

After leaving his own house, Wei Guangde was still thinking about this in the carriage.

Moreover, with his grade, I am afraid I can't do much.

On the contrary, the blame for Yang Xuan, the governor of Ji Liao, is called great.
