After Zhou Shixiong fooled Doctor Zhu, he immediately wrote a resignation when he returned to the inn. Of course, it was not a resignation for resignation. He was reluctant to give up the title of Zhennan Marquis and the corresponding benefits. If it weren't for the sake of fame, why would he have traveled thousands of miles to the capital? Unfortunately, after Emperor Chongzhen received the case of Doctor Zhu's pulse and his resignation, he only ordered people to send a large amount of medicinal materials to let Zhou Shixiong take good care of his work in the inn. As for when he would be let go back to Guangxi, he did not mention it.

"Why should you leave?" Fang Zhenghua brought the emperor and godfather's trust to visit the inn and asked questions in a blunt manner. He was more convinced of Zhou Shixiong's medical skills than Emperor Chongzhen, and he firmly did not believe that Zhou Shixiong would have something to do because of a little cold air entering his body.[]

"Xiao Fang, what's the use of me staying here?" Zhou Shixiong didn't go around the circle with Fang Zhenghua, but he wasn't stupid enough to say that he was pretending to be sick.

"Why did you say this? Without the lord, the capital of the capital would have been decayed for a long time. Besides, the performance of not being in charge of the cavalry camp is much worse than before. How could you underestimate yourself?" Fang Zhenghua praised Zhou Shixiong very high, just like saying that Zhou Shixiong was the savior. Unfortunately, Zhou Shixiong didn't even have any idea of ​​being arrogant, and he really didn't feel how powerful he was.

In the previous few victories, except for the Battle of Xianghe and the sneak attack on Sanhe City, they won more with less, and the other battles were fought with more, which was reasonable. As for the Battle of Shunyi City, Zhou Shixiong understood the specific situation and believed that his legion command ability was much worse than that of Gui. If he commanded the Battle of Shunyi City, it would be hard to say the victory or defeat, let alone think of any great victory.

"Xiao Fang, don't advise me. If you have time, please help me ask when the emperor can let go. I don't want to stay in this capital for a day." Zhou Shixiong gave up the debate and clearly told Fang Zhenghua that he was leaving.

"Does sir have resentment towards the emperor?" Fang Zhenghua said this in a low voice, staring at Zhou Shixiong with his eyes to see his true reaction. Zhou Shixiong cooperated very well, and Fang Zhenghua rolled his eyes twice and said, "There must be resentment. You should know how difficult it is to build such a unit with great effort. If someone picks peaches, they must have thoughts in their hearts."

Zhou Shixiong told him frankly that Fang Zhenghua could not continue to persuade him. Zhou Shixiong made his clear attitude, you are unkind and unrighteous. Since someone picked a peach, I can't let it go! If this was heard by Emperor Chongzhen, Zhou Shixiong would definitely cause trouble. Fang Zhenghua thought Zhou Shixiong was betting whether he would report it, but in fact it was just Zhou Shixiong who gave up.

Not to mention how Fang Zhenghua reported to Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen when he returned, Huang Taiji, who was slapped in the face, became angry. The envoys he sent to negotiate peace were sent back by the cavalry camp and did not even let him get close to the city gate. Moreover, the general Sun Zushou, the general of the Ming army who was responsible for sending the envoys of the Jin Kingdom back, said that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had an order, and the envoys of the peace were not allowed to be placed in the capital.

Even entering the city was not allowed. This obvious contempt made Huang Taiji suffer from headaches and chest tightness again, and he had to take a few secret medicines to relieve his condition. However, Huang Taiji issued an order before taking the medicine. Except for Zhenghuang Banner and Yinghuang Banner, the other banners and Mongolian tribes swept the prefectures and counties near the capital and collected food and supplies. Huang Taiji is worthy of being a conspirator. He knew that it was difficult to continue attacking the capital and might not be able to achieve his goal.

There are several great benefits to harassing the local area. It can plunder food and grass to supplement military supplies, and can hit the morale of the Ming army to force the Ming court to agree to peace talks. It can also make the banner owners with different minds do their best for the population and wealth. With a little wrench, they can count three major advantages. Huang Taiji is amazing.

The next day, Huang Taiji came out with a rosy complexion to see the banner owners off and encouraged them to work hard for the Great Jin Dynasty. At the same time, a secret order was sent to Sanhe City. Huang Taiji ordered Haoge to summon the Mongolian tribes cruising near the Great Wall, intending to use them to strengthen the combat power of the Jin army.

As soon as the Eight Banners of the Great Jin Dynasty was launched, the first unlucky person was Liu Zhilun, the Minister of War who was recruiting scattered soldiers at Lugou Bridge. The eastern part of the capital was almost occupied by the Great Jin Dynasty, and the only things that could be robbed were Changping Prefecture in the north and Wuqing, Liangxiang, Fangshan and other prefectures in the south. In addition to the two yellow-headed flags, the strongest Eight Banners of the Eight Banners were the Zhenghong Banners and the Inlaid Red Banners. Dai Shan and his son led two red banners to occupy the attack routes in the north, and the other four flags attacked Wuqing and other places.

The one responsible for attacking Liangxiang was the Zhenglan Banner temporarily led by Jiergalang. Although the Zhenglan Banner was the first to be unlucky at Zhou Shixiong, the elite cavalry were almost wiped out. However, after Jiergalang's rectification, the soldiers and the people were strong and the soldiers were strong and the army had 5,000 troops. If a border army guarded Lugou Bridge, the Zhenglan Banner would be unlucky again. Unfortunately, God looked at Gu Jiergalang very much and made him meet Liu Zhilun.

Liu Zhilun is very literary and has a high character, and is also very proficient in military books and combat strategies. The only problem is that he has never brought troops to fight, and he is a very pure Zhao Kuo. Although he gathered nearly 10,000 scattered soldiers, facing 5,000 scattered soldiers in Jiergalang, he was swept away by the scattered soldiers without even organizing a decent attack. In fact, it is not a big deal that these Ming troops have no morale and combat power. Who has ever seen ordinary people without discipline and no organization fight against regular troops?

Liu Zhilun's subordinates were all scattered soldiers who were used to escape. Liu Zhilun's strategists did not choose to defend the camp to the death. Instead, the entire army would fight a dignified field battle without any accident. Jiergalang was also very strange. This Ming army went out of the camp in a mess and then began to collapse, and the battle ended before the start. What were they doing?

Jiannu did not go out of the camp to attack Chaoyangmen camp for three days. Emperor Chongzhen was still wondering if his dragon power shocked Jiannu, so Jiannu did not dare to attack the capital again. Unexpectedly, the news that Luo Yangxing brought to him seemed like a blow, awakening Emperor Chongzhen who was trapped in narcissistic emotions. "Liangxiang fell, Fangshan fell! How could this happen?"

"So quickly summon Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, and Zhang Weixian into the palace." Emperor Chongzhen read the report stupidly for a while and remembered what to do. He ordered Tu Wenfu to leave the palace and summon several military chiefs from the temporary command to discuss countermeasures. After a while, he said to Luo Yangxing, "Go and call Zhou Aiqing and Man Gui, I want to hear their opinions."

Luo Yangxing left the palace with a strange expression. Although the spy he arranged for inns to hear Zhou Shixiong say anything complaining, he knew very well about the several personal guards around Zhou Shixiong giving up their military posts and returning to Zhou Shixiong. Luo Yangxing could not tell whether Zhou Shixiong summoned them back or whether these personal guards voluntarily resigned. But the result was obvious. Zhou Shixiong had an objection to Man Gui and had an objection to the matter of Emperor Chongzhen's removal from his cavalry camp. Now he was in big trouble and wanted Zhou Shixiong to give advice. I'm afraid Emperor Chongzhen would be a little naive.

Luo Yangxing came to the inn and saw Zhou Shixiong giving lectures to his subordinates. Zhou Shixiong's resignation had not been approved yet and could only stay in the inn. Zhou Shixiong was so tired that he picked up the book again and gave a small meal to several loyal personal soldiers. After this period of military career, Zhou Shixiong saw that these students around him had great potential in military affairs. Although he did not know much about ancient military books and strategies, combined with modern people's knowledge and thinking methods, there were still many things that could be shown. Therefore, while Zhou Shixiong was studying ancient military books himself, he wrote Zhou's military strategy. The first batch of test samples were Yu Jiaao and Lu Hong.

"The first priority of war is intelligence. If you don't know the enemy's situation and don't know the enemy's generals, you will be confused if you win the battle. For example, in the Battle of Xianghe, I didn't understand who you were fighting from beginning to end. The reason why I could win was purely because the master Jiannu underestimated the enemy's soldiers. After all, they lost in their hands." Zhou Shixiong liked to be self-deprecating. It was not that he had a habit of self-abuse, but that he knew the philosophy of life of shooting a gun. He did so many things before just to save his life, and it was completely beyond Zhou Shixiong's expectations. He could only blame the Ming army for not letting Zhou Shixiong rise.

"Sir, you're a bit too modest to say this. We have experienced the Battle of Xianghe personally. If it weren't for the good tactics of the adults, you would definitely not win by luck." Zhou Shixiong defamed his personal soldiers and quit. Yu Jiaao immediately stood up to refute, hoping that Zhou Shixiong could admit that he was a famous general. Peng Wuyi also stood up to join in the fun. "Sir, even the ministers of the court said that you are the number one general of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that they would misunderstand?"

Zhou Shixiong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Outside, I praise me as the number one general of the Ming Dynasty. Forget it, if you have this idea, don't touch military affairs in the future, because you don't have a calm and sober mind. How can you be a general of the army besides listening and believing?"

"Mr. Zhou said something wrong. If you are not a famous general, wouldn't you even be able to afford the word "general"?" Luo Yangxing eavesdropped outside the door for a while, and couldn't help but insert it.

"How come Lord Luo is there to come here for me?" Zhou Shixiong was surprised that the guard did not report. He thought that the people who watched him were all the people who were Luo Yangxing's stationed.

"The officials were ordered to summon Zhou Hou to the palace to discuss matters." Luo Yangxing interrupted Zhou Shixiong's lecture to pass on the purpose. In fact, he wanted to listen to Zhou Shixiong's military theory more, after all, this is a new generation of generals.

"What happened again?" Zhou Shixiong thought, Jiannu had been sieging the city for so many days, so it should not be a big deal.

"The Marquis of Zhou was like a torch. Jiannu divided his troops to attack the suburbs of the capital and the capital, and had already broken through Liangxiang and Fangshan. Jiannu also appeared near Changping. If the official was wrong, Changping might not be able to save it." Luo Yang was pessimistic, or his vision was very accurate, and he saw the truth that the Ming army was vulnerable.

"Jiannu is brave and has a big appetite. It seems that Huang Taiji is sure that the Beijing camp dares not leave the city." Zhou Shixiong basically has the number of Jiannu's army. Although he did not find out how many Jiannu were attacking the suburbs, he believed that the troops would not be very strong. Jiannu dared to send a small number of troops to rob him so arrogantly, which was to capture the fatal point that the Ming army did not dare to fight in the field.

Luo Yangxing could only answer Zhou Shixiong with a wry smile. He was not as bold as Zhou Shixiong and dared to arrange the Jingying camp at will. However, he agreed with Zhou Shixiong's statement very much. It seemed that the only ones who dared to go out of the city to fight were the Super Biaoying camp and the Cavalry camp, and it would be better if the other troops were not mentioned.
