Chapter 532 531 Fire Light

Yang Xuan set out from Shanhaiguan and rushed forward. Within less than three days after Sun Bin led his army to Sanhe County, Yang Xuan's people arrived.

During these three days, Yang Xuan suffered a lot.

In the past, he always took a sedan chair when traveling. Even if he led his army to Shanhaiguan, he would only occasionally get out and ride a horse when he was bored in the sedan chair.

But this time I came back to grab the time, so I rode all the way and trotted to the meeting.

Not only did my butt hurt, but the inner side of my thighs were also worn out. I could only walk with my feet on my back, and my whole body seemed to be disintegrating.

However, after entering Sanhe County, he was a little anxious when he saw that Sun Bin was present in the crowd.

I have been busy rushing for the past two days, and I don’t even bother asking where Sun Bin has been and whether he has entered Tongzhou.

Now that he saw people in Sanhe, he knew that Sun Bin must have not moved forward.

Yang Xuan was slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.

After entering the county government hall lobby, he asked, "General Sun, what is the situation of the Tartars now? Are the capital and Tongzhou safe?"

"Reported to Lord Yang, the Tartars only sent a small number of sentries to Tongzhou and the capital. Now most of them are looting around Shunyi and Huairou. Tartars also entered Sanhe territory two days ago."

Sun Bin hurriedly answered Yang Xuan’s question.

"I asked each unit to take the initiative to attack the enemy, how is the battle situation of each unit?"

Yang Xuan was naturally relieved when he learned that the Tartars did not attack the capital. Although he had probably had speculation in his heart when he saw Sun Bin.

However, I still feel more at ease when Sun Bin said it personally.

"this"

When Sun Bin heard Yang Xuan mention the military order he sent someone to send him two days ago, his face turned a little ugly.

When Yang Xuan was in a hurry to go, he sent multiple messengers to inform Miyun, Shunyi and Jizhen generals to take the initiative to send troops to fight the Tartars, hoping to use the Ming army's advancing tactics to make the Tartars retreat in the face of difficulties and withdraw from the Great Wall as soon as possible.

Yang Xuan was riding on the horse, so he was naturally recalling the news he received. And those two days were just in a hurry and no messenger blocked them.

No new news came to his ears, and Yang Xuan immediately thought about the information he already knew.

The Tartars had insufficient troops to enter the pass, and this was long been noticed.

He seemed to have no support, so he also noticed it.

The Tartars did not attack Miyun, but were looting the countryside, and he also noticed it.

In summary, the Tartars' intentions have gradually become clearer.

Now, Yang Xuan was naturally very unhappy when he saw Sun Bin stuttering when answering his own question.

However, he did not have an immediate attack. He thought he was still a good temper. Even if he was facing a martial artist, he still needed to be a civil servant.

"This time the Tartars entered the pass, and the troops were obviously insufficient. General Sun would not be unable to see that they were unable to threaten the safety of the capital.

What's more, the Beijing camp is ready now, and the capital is safe. It's time for each unit to fight bravely. How can we fear the enemy and fight with fear? Is this worthy of Your Majesty and the court?"

Yang Xuan said in a bad tone.

Before, when welcoming, we could see that other officials who were in a bad mood in Yang Xuan, such as the Sanhe Governor Fu Jin, and the Sanhe Magistrate, were silent at this time and did not dare to say anything.

At this moment, a personal soldier outside the hall sent Xu Shen, the Governor of Shuntian, and handed it to Yang Xuan. He didn't have to read it, but he knew that Xu Shen had probably urged the troops in Jizhen to use troops as soon as possible to expel the Tartars near Shunyi.

The government army can win if it is not a fight, and it is also not within Xu Shen's authority. However, the Tartars were rampant in Shuntian Prefecture, so he, as the governor, had the responsibility to protect the country and the people.

Of course, I can't get rid of the pot.

Yang Xuan opened the official document and looked at it, then handed it to Sun Bin, "Look, this should be the intention of the court. If we don't send troops as soon as possible, the Ministry of War will soon issue the official document to supervise it."

Yang Xuan just glanced at him and already knew the content of the official document roughly.

As he said, the court in the capital had gradually calmed down from the horror when he heard the news that the Tartars had broken through the pass.

As information from multiple parties gathered in the Ministry of War, Yang Bo saw that the Tartars' entry into the pass was unusual, and it seemed to have nothing to do with their initial concerns.

However, despite this, the Beijing Camp will not move lightly, because the Beijing Camp can fight few soldiers and only has the ability to protect the capital.

However, after the Jizhen army entered Sanhe, and the Tartars were confirmed to have not had much force, Yang Bo naturally wanted to let the Jizhen army start attacking the enemy immediately and expel the Tartars.

However, considering that the imperial edicts for the king had been issued everywhere, Yang Bo thought more.

That is, can we wait a few more days, and after the Xuanfu army arrives, we will gather the military forces of Xuanfu and Jizhen to wipe out the Tartars as much as possible.

However, although there are ideas, if you want to become reality, you need to have a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation.

Not only do we need to know the distribution of the Ming army's troops, but also the accurate movements of the Tatar army.

Yang Bo was planning, and he had sent someone to contact Ma Fang on the way to inform him that after leading his troops into Changping, he did not have to move towards the capital, but went directly to Huairou.

In Yang Bo's consideration, Ma Fang led the Xuan army from north to south, while Jizhen army from south to north, thus achieving the north-south encirclement of this Tartar cavalry.

As for Jizhen, neither Yang Xuan nor Sun Bin issued an order because he knew the virtues of the Ming army well.

Under normal circumstances, if it were not necessary, the Ming army would not have taken the initiative to start a war. It was their strategy to defend the city to the death.

As for whether the Governor Shuntian would ask Jizhen troops to attack the Tartars, it was a joke in Yang Bo's opinion. How could those generals listen to him at this time?

However, he missed that Yang Xuan was eager to make contributions at this time and would put all pressure on the Ming army to fight the Tartars.

"Governor Yang, how do you want to use troops?"

After reading Xu Shen's writing, Sun Bin felt a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to refuse directly.

If you say something when you are not in front of you, you can make excuses to shirk it. Now, in front of Yang Xuan, if he refuses to order an attack, he may be labeled as afraid of the enemy and timid in battle by Yang Xuan, and then he will throw all the responsibility on his head.

"You lead the Jizhen army to Tongzhou early tomorrow morning, go north from Tongzhou to attack the enemy. At the same time, you order Miyun to lead your troops out of the city to attack south and head to Shunyi."

Speaking of this, Yang Xuan looked at the Sanhe Governor Fu Jin and said, "General Fu will lead his troops to the border of Sanhe. We must not let the enemy attack the border of Sanhe."

"In this way, the Tartars will look west for passes and retreat."

Sun Bin frowned and said at this time.

If the Ming army sent troops from three sides, the Tartars would not want to be surrounded by the Ming army, even if they thought they could easily break through the Ming army's encirclement.

"You happen to be the one Xuan army is coming to the west. The Tartars should meet them. When they fight, our three armies in Jizhen can enter the enemy from the back."

Yang Xuan said lightly, "Now the Tartars are splitting their troops to loot. Our army must attack with thunderous force, so that they have no time to take care of them."

Speaking of this, Yang Xuan took a deep breath before saying, "In addition, we will join forces with the next command to strictly order the army to speed up the march and arrive at Sanhe, Pinggu and other places as soon as possible. Those who miss the opportunity to fight will be punished and unpardoned."

"Feng Zhao, Hu Can and others will follow me to fight?"

Feng Zhao and Hu Can were the generals of Jizhen. They were previously taken away by Yang Xuan to command the Jizhen army. This time, they led 5,000 cavalry to arrive at Sanhe with Yang Xuan.

If this team did not join, Sun Bin would have to consider whether to send troops from Tongzhou.

With this team, he had nearly 8,000 cavalry. Although he was not as large as the Tartars, there were still many Ming troops around, especially those in Miyun Hu Town.

In addition, as Yang Xuan said, the Tartars are now scattered and looting everywhere. At this time, they are attacked. If the Tartars are dispersed, they are actually easy to fight.

When Yang Xuan heard Sun Bin’s question, he nodded immediately and said, “Of course we should act together.”

With Yang Xuan's answer, Sun Bin immediately stopped worrying about safety and agreed to his life happily.

Eight thousand cavalrymen, even if they can't defeat the Tartars, their own safety is still fine.

As for whether Hu Zhen and Fu Jin and others will act according to the order, Sun Bin will not be able to control it now.

Yang Xuan is in Sanhe, and Fu Jin should not dare to disobey, but it is hard to say that Hu Town, far away in Miyun.

The Ming army was in action, and in the capital, as the information of the Tatars became more and more comprehensive, Wei Guangde also confirmed the reality of the Tatars army.

These people broke in and they should just grab one and ran away.

However, he didn't tell anyone else.

In fact, there is no shortage of discerning people in the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Guangde asked himself that he could see things that he could understand, and that the big guys in the Ministry of War would not be able to see them.

Of course, he did not do anything, at least at the meeting of the small cabinet of Prince Yu's Mansion, he still expressed his judgment.

However, he neither did Yang Bo's boldness, and wanted to encircle and wipe out the Tartars, nor did he have the idea of ​​Yang Xuan squeezing the Tartars westward.

In the palace of Prince Yu, Wei Guangde stood in front of the map and said to Prince Yu and others: "The Xuan army was from the west, the Jizhen army was from the east, and the other guards set out from Tongzhou to the north. Under the siege of three sides, the Tatars would inevitably choose to flee north and escape back to the grassland from the original route."

The areas where the Tartars passed had been looted by them, so they were not afraid that they would take the second trip, and the losses had been caused.

"As long as the retreat path in the direction of Miyun is not closed, the Tartars will soon launch the Great Wall."

Finally, Wei Guangde analyzed.

"Since the Tartars are insufficient, why don't they gather in Jizhen and Xuanda's two armies encircle and annihilate the Tartars?"

King Yu asked at this time.

"It is difficult to achieve encirclement without an advantageous cavalry."

Wei Guangde shook his head and said, "In fact, as long as our army is mobilized in the east, south and west directions, the Tartars should evacuate immediately."
