Zhu Cilang couldn't see through Huang Taiji's real purpose, but one thing he was very clear: "Zhan Yunpeng, send the order and the Hu Ben Army stationed on the spot."

Zhan Yunpeng, who was standing beside him, was he shocked: "Your Highness, let's not go to Jinzhou anymore?"

Zhu Cilang shook his head: "If you don't go, Huang Taiji's intentions are not obvious. Hong Chengchou's reinforcements are enough for him to drink a pot. We're going, it's meaningless."

In the Liaodong war report, Huang Taiji attacked heavily, and the eight banners of Jiannu came out in full swing.

When I received this news, Beijing was in trouble. Emperor Chongzhen was frightened and the civil and military officials in the court were frightened. The whole story came out, which meant that the Qing Dynasty must have come prepared this time.

Zhu Ciyang was also a little nervous. Although he didn't understand Huang Taiji's intentions, he always felt that Huang Taiji had developed some siege artifact, otherwise why did he attack in large numbers?

Many masters of artillery casting under Huang Taiji are all traitors and traitors. It is not surprising that they have developed any firearms.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang led the Hu Ben army to travel day and night, and headed north to Liaodong.

But after he learned about Huang Taiji's deployment from Wu Sangui, he understood something was wrong. Since Huang Taiji had no intention of Jinzhou and had no intention of surrounding and attacking aid, then there would be no meaning for him, the Tiger Army, to go north again.

The Liaodong Army alone was enough to deal with it. The Hu Ben Army continued to move north, but it was just a waste of time.

Zhu Cilang was a little uneasy. He wanted to mobilize troops to defend Zhangjiakou.

Although all signs indicate that Huang Taiji will not go to Zhangjiakou. However, military geeks like Huang Taiji often like to do the opposite. For this reason, Zhu Cilang had to be careful.

Little did they know that it was Zhu Cixuan's small action that ultimately saved the lives of tens of millions of innocent people in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

As expected, when Hong Chengchou's reinforcements arrived fifty miles south of Jinzhou, Huang Taiji retreated.

Liaodong was in an uproar, Hong Chengchou set out to the south city of Jinzhou, and Zu Dashousheng opened the city to welcome him.

After Hong Chengchou entered the city, he asked, "Zu Dashou, what's your name?"

Hong Chengchou was very angry. Is Zu Dashou’s information wrong? Why did Huang Taiji escape when he arrived?

Zu Dashou was more unfair than Dou E: "Duke Hong, the generals couldn't figure it out. Huang Taiji first sent Jiergalang, who had a blue flag, to attack for a feint, but he didn't even touch our Jinzhou city gate. After hearing that your reinforcements came, Huang Taiji turned around and ran away."

Hong Chengchou sighed: "I have fought a war for half my life, and it is the first time I have encountered such a situation. Huang Taiji, what do he want to do?"

No one knew, what everyone knew was that Huang Taiji soldiers came outside Jinzhou City. After learning that Hong Chengchou's reinforcements arrived, he turned around and left without even letting go. It seemed that he was mobilizing the troops to come this time just to make a fuss.

"Maybe Huang Taiji hasn't shown up for a long time, and he is afraid that Duke Hong will forget him. So because he came this time, he wants to be familiar with him." Zu Dashou said jokingly.

Hong Chengchou couldn't laugh. He felt like Zhu Cilang that Huang Taiji was too abnormal. With his understanding of Huang Taiji for decades, this did not seem to be his personality at all.

Huang Taiji acted decisively and accurately judged the situation on the battlefield. This person is a genius who is rare in a century. He led troops to fight, and Huang Taiji's tactics are unique.

If he doesn't fight a battle without being sure, since he knows that he is not sure to conquer Jinzhou City, what is his purpose for this trip?

No matter what, Huang Taiji has already withdrawn anyway. Maybe he knows that there is no hope of winning, so he hurriedly retreats. Hong Chengchou thought so, and everyone thought so too.

Huang Taiji, who retreated north, took his Eight Banners cavalry and prepared to join forces with the Mongolian army to attack the pass of the Great Wall. Then he divided his troops into two groups and attacked Shanxi and Shaanxi with Dorgon respectively.

During the Jisi Rebellion, Huang Taiji went to Mongolia and arrived between Longjing Pass and Da'ankou in Jizhou Town.

At that time, Huang Taiji divided his troops into left and right wings and broke through Longjing Pass and Da'ankou.

This time, he did not dare to take risks anymore. Instead, he went directly to Shanxi and then allowed Dorgon's army to continue to advance westward to Shaanxi.

At that time, it will bloom in Shaanxi and Shanxi at the same time, and even if the Ming army turns back and returns, it will be too late.

Zhu Cixuan's troops in Zhangjiakou were closest to Shanxi. Shaanxi, and there were more than 10,000 Qin soldiers guarding Tongguan, guarded by Sun Chuanting.

The situation is quite dangerous, first of all, the troops were deployed. Huang Taiji's Eight Banners Army and Mongolian cavalry had a total of more than 100,000 people.

Zhu Cilang's Hu Ben Army has only 3,000. No matter how capable you are, 3,000 people are not enough for the Eight Banners cavalry to be stuck in the teeth.

Sun Chuanting from Shaanxi was not as good as that, and his Qin soldiers were only more than 10,000. Therefore, if Huangtaiji succeeded in traveling to Mongolia, Shaanxi and Shanxi would still be extremely dangerous.

Prince Abuna of the Mongolian tribes, as well as Zarut and Bahrain, led more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalrymen to join Huangtaiji's team.

Abnai suggested to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, if we want to attack Shanxi and Shaanxi, we need to go west as much as possible. You must know that the Ming army suffered our losses before, and the Great Wall defense line has laid a lot of troops. Especially in the Jimen Pass area, the Ming army relies on natural dangers and is difficult to break."

In fact, during the Jisi Incident, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ji Liao, had expected the move of the Later Jin to detour through Mongolia to attack Beijing. For this reason, Yuan Chonghuan officially wrote a memorial to Emperor Chongzhen, saying: "In Ningyuan, the enemy must not cross the pass and go west; Jimen is weak, so it is better to stay in heavy troops."

Yuan Chonghuan saw it very clearly that Jimen was relatively weak and should be given heavy troops to guard it.

Not only that, Yuan Chonghuan submitted another memorial, saying: "Only when Jimen Lingjing was on his shoulders and the troops were not increased. If Mongolia was used as a guide and Jiannu was invaded, there would be no harm."

Because Ningjin's defense line was strong and Huangtai-Keda would not be broken, he would use Mongolia as the guide to break through the Great Wall and threaten Beijing. However, Yuan Chonghuan's two memorials did not attract enough attention from Emperor Chongzhen, and the unfortunate consequences were hit by Yuan Chonghuan.

Now, the Ming army has deployed a certain amount of troops on the Great Wall defense line. If it follows the previous path, it will be very unfavorable to the Qing army.

Therefore, Huang Taiji finally adopted Abunai's suggestion and continued to go west. He looked for the weak points of the Ming army's defense and attacked the Ming army in Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Huang Taiji's army eventually went to Mongolia, and the Ming army knew nothing about this. This time Huang Taiji sent troops very cautiously, and the spies outside the Ming army received no tips.

Zhu Cixuan eventually left Shanhaiguan and led the Hu Ben army westward to Zhangjiakou. Although Zhu Cixuan still did not understand Huang Taiji's intentions, he always felt that something was going to happen.
