Seventy-eight old wisdom from back then

    Tongzhou City is only eighty miles away from Beijing. Once here, it can be said that it is only a stone's throw away from the capital.  A group of Ming officials, including Cao Huachun, breathed a sigh of relief after entering Tongzhou and finally lived up to the emperor's trust and invited short-haired reinforcements.

    So one day later, when they discovered that Short Hair's direction of action was not towards the capital, but continued to march north, the faces of all the people turned green.

    Cao Huachun came over first and asked why he didn't go to the capital.  Tang Jian was too lazy to argue with them and asked Pang Yu to negotiate with him.  Naturally, the latter had already thought about how to deal with this group of people. After meeting, he only said lightly that according to our scouts' reconnaissance, the Hou Jin army had deployed heavy troops on the road ahead, and there seemed to be an ambush there.  Instead of confronting them head-on, it would be better for our army to avoid the real and attack the weak and directly attack their base camp.

    Of course, Pang Yu's words are all nonsense, but they are enough to fool Du Gong Cao, who knows nothing about military affairs. Especially, his recent way of supplementing military knowledge is to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Pang Yu's words happen to fit the bill.  The military advisers in the Three Kingdoms can defeat the enemy with just a few calculations.

    In addition, the Short-haired Army was heading north after all, approaching the enemy on its own initiative rather than the other way around, so Cao Huachun believed it.  After all, he is not a high-minded person, and he does not have an almost perverted control over military power.  Besides, this is in the short-haired army, and they don't dare to show a bossy attitude.

    Cao Huachun stopped his troops and followed the army northward.  Pang Yu also asked him if he should return to the capital first to report to the emperor?  However, Duke Cao only considered it for a few seconds before rejecting the suggestion and asked to continue to act with the army.

    Pang Yu smiled and thanked him for his trust, and his attitude towards him was different from before. Actions are always more convincing than words. Cao Huachun was willing to act with the army, which showed that he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of this unit and was not worried about it.  Get yourself into it.

    Although the total number of this army is only more than 6,000, and the Jinmeng Allied Forces opposite is said to have 200,000, the actual number that has been verified is at least 60,000 to 70,000, a gap of ten to one.  It's interesting that Duke Cao is still willing to follow.

    The whole army headed north, but the speed was completely different from before.  After stopping and stopping, it took three days to arrive at the ruined city of Shunyi, which was only more than 60 miles away from Tongzhou and had been destroyed by Hou Jin.  I only walk thirty miles a day, which is a standard place to stay.  And if you walk and stop for a day, what will you do with the extra day to build a fort?

    Qiong Haijun's soil work capabilities are fully demonstrated here: every thirty miles, deep trenches and high fortifications are built, and an open space is surrounded by trenches and earth walls. During the actual stationing, heavy barbed wire fences and wooden sentry towers are added.  The camp was guarded tightly enough to dissuade anyone from trying to attack by force, and a sneak attack at night was even more impossible.

    This is also called no choice. Tongzhou is only a hundred and fifty miles away from Changping, and the cavalry brigade can arrive in a moment.  In other words, they are in an environment where they may be attacked by the opponent at any time.  Faced with the mobility advantage of the Jin-Mongol coalition, Qiong Haijun didn't have many ways to deal with it. He could only use the wisdom of Zeng Wenzhenggong, the first-class Yiyong Marquis of the Qing Dynasty, to "build a strong stronghold and fight a stupid war" to deal with his master.  the ancestors.

    …………

    Late at night, in a corner of Shunyi County, the Qiong Haijun camp was specially organized.  Tang Jian and others once again gathered in the temporary combat conference room to receive enemy situation reports from the forward reconnaissance troops.

    The Northern Latitude Reconnaissance Troops have now basically given up harassing the enemy, and have instead devoted all their efforts to detecting the enemy's movements.  The contact time between them and the main force has been changed from once every six hours to once every hour. At every hour, the main force will turn on the machine and put up the antenna to prepare to receive telegrams.  Of course, it is not possible to contact them every time, but as long as the reconnaissance troops find out the latest military information, they can notify the main force in the shortest possible time.

    As the "ticking" sound of sending and receiving telegrams ended, the translator quickly translated the latest information and delivered it to Tang Jian.  The latter took it and looked at it for a few times, with a strange look on his face:

    "Hong Taiji's main force group has indeed begun to move, but it is heading towards BeijingAren't they planning to fight with our army?"

    Pang Yu was also quite surprised after hearing this. He looked at the telegram a few times, then compared it with the map for a while, and gradually frowned:

    "Humph, you hit yours, I'll hit mineDoes Huang Taiji know this trick too?"

    "What do you mean?" Wang Haiyang asked puzzledly from the side, "Does he still want to attack Beijing?"

    "He is not going to attack Beijing, but to scare Zhu Youjian and the group of civil and military officials in Beijing."

    Pang Yu snorted and sneered:

    "Huang Taiji is far behind us in terms of technology, but his grasp of people's hearts is really amazing."Seeing that several people in the war room still had doubts on their faces, Pang Yu had no choice but to speak more clearly:

    "Think about it, those people in Beijing have been besieged for nearly a month, and their hearts have been tense. Now they finally hear that reinforcements are coming soon. What will they think?"

    "very happy?"

    Wang Haiyang responded casually, not thinking there was anything weird.  Pang Yu smiled:

    "Then the reinforcements did not come to Beijing and went directly north from Tongzhou"

    "Maybe a little disappointed, but I won't be too angry. After all, we are marching towards the enemy. It is probably similar to Cao Huachun's reaction."

    Wang Haiyang continued to respond, and Pang Yu immediately smiled again:

    "So, what if the enemy army suddenly comes to the city at this time and threatens the surrounding areas of the capital?"

    "This" Wang Haiyang pondered for a moment, "Logically speaking, he shouldn't be too nervous. After all, if Huang Taiji was sure of capturing Beijing, he wouldn't delay taking action until now."

    "But psychologically, this kind of pressure will be great, and Chongzhen is a person with very poor psychological endurance."

    Jie Xi curled his lips and said, he now understood his opponent’s intention:

    "We have no choice but to put pressure on the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and then transfer this pressure to our side Hum, he is indeed a master of psychological warfare. He relied on counterintuitive tactics to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan, and now he wants to play again  This trick. The old wisdom from back then is used again!"

    "The method is not afraid of aging, as long as it works."

    Pang Yu clicked on the map:

    "If he does this, Beijing will definitely send someone to ask us to move closer to the capital. In this way, our army's march route will be easy to deduce. He can calmly choose the most advantageous battlefield and the most appropriate fighter plane  "

    "We can ignore it."

    Wang Haiyang frowned at the side, while Pang Yu shrugged:

    "This is a conspiracy. Of course we can ignore Beijing's request, but that will undoubtedly offend Zhu Youjian a lot. But why did we come all the way? After all the hard work, we ended up falling out with the customer.  , who would do such a stupid thing?"

    "What about your suggestion?"

    Tang Jian asked from the side, while Pang Yu spread his hands in a Buddhist-like manner:

    "This is the same as when I was doing engineering: customers will always make all kinds of weird requests. You have to listen, but you can't listen to them all. We can only adapt to circumstances and select the conditions that are beneficial to us and apply them. In addition, we must  Understand what the customer’s main needs are, and on the premise of meeting his main needs, it doesn’t matter if you can’t meet some of the details.”

    There was silence in the war room for a moment, but Wang Haiyang shook his head first:

    "It's really annoying. Why is it so difficult to have a quick and enjoyable battle You just have to figure it out. Just tell me how to operate it."

    With that said, Wang Haiyang walked away angrily. Tang Jian looked at the map without saying a word, then turned around and left.  When Jie Xi also left the war room, he suddenly smiled at Pang Yu:

    "You are just inferring. Maybe Chongzhen is not that stupid?"

    "I also hope so, so that we can act according to the original plan: go all the way north, find the enemy, and fight hard, and it's over!"

    Pang Yu replied, but his expectations were shattered that night. First, Cao Huachun asked for a meeting at night, saying that he had received an urgent report from the capital, that the Tatar army was invading in a large scale, and asked Qiong Haijun to go to the capital to protect him immediately!

    Such urgent reports actually came twice overnight. At dawn the next day, Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of War, arrived in person. Holding the emperor's edict, he asked Qiongzhen to immediately return troops to rescue the capital.

    Qiong Haijun was contacted by telegraph, and he was not completely unaware of the situation in Beijing. The hundreds of men under Xu Lei were stationed on the city wall all night.  According to the information he sent, since the day before yesterday, a large number of Houjin and Mongolian cavalry have indeed appeared near the city wall of the capital, setting fire to the nearby vegetation and woods, and the houses have long been burned down.  Many civilians were driven in and prepared to attack the city, but they were dispersed by several rounds of artillery fire from the top of the city.

    In short, there is a lot of noise, but there is no actual threat.  But inexplicably, the atmosphere in the city has suddenly become tense in the past two days, and various rumors are flying everywhere.  Many people are shouting that the Qiongzhen soldiers and horses have escaped and are not coming to Beijing, and the capital is about to be in danger.

    Xu Lei guessed that there might be spies making trouble in the city, and he had already strengthened the defense and monitoring of the big market.  At the same time, they also contacted the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, Jinyiwei, Shuntian Mansion and other units to come forward to maintain order.  But later I heard that the emperors and ministers of Ming DynastyIt seemed that they were really planning to give orders to the troops in Qiongzhen, so they hurriedly sent a telegram to tell everyone not to worry about the situation in Beijing. Xu Lei himself was still very confident in holding the city of Beijing.

    But Zhang Fengyi and others obviously didn't think so. They came here and repeatedly asked Qiongzhen to go to the capital.  In fact, he didn't even think about it. If Hou Jin really wanted to besiege the city, how could you, an old civil servant, escape?
