Chapter 80 (2) There are always more solutions than difficulties

Whether Yuan Chonghuan should kill Mao Wenlong or not is a question. There is a reason to say that he should be killed.Considering Yuan Chonghuan's official position and strategy at the time, Mao Wenlong should be killed. Kindness does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not manage money. He is the chief combat officer on the front line. He has a thousand generals who refuse to obey his orders. Reason to butcher. It should not be killed, because Emperor Chongzhen intervened, no matter how good it is, if Emperor Chongzhen gets involved, it must be messed up. What's more, the military before the war was changing rapidly.Every decision has a right side and a wrong side. If Ren Yuan Chonghuan controls the overall situation, he can control the wrong side of the decision so that it does not expand, strengthen the correctness of the decision, and it may not be a bad thing if things continue to develop. .

But with the additional variable of Chongzhen, things will be troublesome. Chongzhen has a genius mind that expands the wrong side of things and offsets the right side of things. Yuan Chonghuan met such an emperor who was obviously anti-social and full of suspicion and hatred for everyone, so his decision was no longer correct. There is also Huang Taiji, this dude is thinking about Yuan Chonghuan every day. With Yuan Chonghuan standing in front of him, it is impossible to pass this test, what should we do? Huang Taiji thought frowningly. There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Sure enough, Huang Taiji thought of a good way. go around. Just three months after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji mobilized 100,000 Qing soldiers and marched to Laoha River in a mighty manner. He set up camp first, and then held a working meeting to assign tasks: The first group of troops, led by the sixth son of the wild boar skin's eldest brother, the little wild boar, Ji Erhalang, and the eldest son of the big beile Daishan, the idiot Yuetuo, led the troops of the four banners, plus a part of the Mongolian coalition forces. The Chinese troops attacked Da'ankou and Zunhua City.

The second group of troops, led by Abatai, the seventh son of Wild Boar Pi, and Azige, the second brother of Badger Fourteenth Lang Dorgon, led the troops from the Four Banners, together with some Mongolian coalition forces, to attack from Longjing Pass. The third route, led by Huang Taiji himself, Sanbeile Manggurtai, attacked Hongshan Pass, and then joined forces at Tongjierhalang in Zunhua. Departure, detour to Xifengkou, go directly to Beijing, and Yuan Chonghuan is furious. Hearing this news, Yuan Chonghuan was really frightened. At this time, he has a good idea. He only needs to steal Huang Taiji's back route, and he can cut off the food and grass for the 100,000 Qing soldiers. At that time, Huang Taiji will definitely go and never return.

This is a god-sent opportunity. However, Yuan Chonghuan could not seize this opportunity. Moreover, if anyone dares to make trouble with Huang Taiji at this time, the emperor, ministers and common people of the Ming Dynasty will kill your whole family. why? No reason, anyway, since Huang Taiji is going to attack Beijing now, you have to rush to the front to intercept, want to copy Huang Taiji's back?Fighting against the Qing soldiers with the troops of the Beijing Military Region?Go to hell you!The people in Beijing are almost scared to death, you are still thinking about it here, don't you think your life is too long?

Yuan Chonghuan knew it well, he didn't dare to copy Huang Taiji's retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and led Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and others to chase desperately. People don't eat grass, horses don't feed, so let's chase madly After a few days, they finally arrived at Guangqumen in Beijing. At this time, Huang Taiji had already occupied a horse farm in Beijing's Xiaoqu District. Huang Taiji was just under the city of Beijing, and they started a tug-of-war battle with Yuan Chonghuan. The two sides came and went, and you advanced and retreated. The window lattices of the pavilions in the Forbidden City rattled.

Once this tug-of-war started, Huang Taiji would be miserable. He could understand that although Yuan Chonghuan kept firing cannons, he just ignored the Emperor Chongzhen in the palace. In fact, Yuan Chonghuan was shrewd. It's just a war of attrition. Yuan Chonghuan was deliberately delaying time. At this time, Huang Taiji was unable to attack by force, and it was impossible to surround him with heavy troops. Moreover, it was already the middle of winter, and the sky was freezing. Day after day, the food and grass for the 100,000 Qing troops were about to be eaten up. On that day, the Qing soldiers must have fought without fighting, and they were pushed forward by Yuan Chonghuan. It was obvious that how many of the 100,000 Qing soldiers could go back by then was definitely not an optimistic number.

Going overboard and putting yourself in it. Huang Taiji was running around in a hurry, what to do, what do you think should be done? At this time, the deputy general Gao Hongzhong and the general Bao Cheng came to report: report to the chief, two spies of Ming Dynasty were arrested. spy? Huang Taiji turned his head and saw that they were two eunuchs. Huang Taiji was immediately happy, Yuan Chonghuan, don't blame me for being cruel, who asked you to work for Chongzhen?
