Wu Sangui left Kaifeng Prefecture and ran away, and Sun Chuanting was launching a large army to attack Zhengzhou City!

What's going on?

Zhu Qizhua was stunned when he received the message.

You should know that Kaifeng Prefecture was one of the most important cities in the world at this time, second only to the capital city and Jinling, Xi'an, which were once the capitals of various dynasties. It was definitely the top five in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng had eaten in Kaifeng Prefecture several times, but finally racked his brains before taking it off.

Sun Chuanting was right. After Shandong fell into their hands, Kaifeng Prefecture was the last barrier to the south of the capital. Wu Sangui actually left such a large city and ran away. Aren’t he afraid that Jiannu would kill him?

It is very likely that this is a trap for Jiannu!

Zhu Qizhu also had the same idea as Sun Chuanting. Jiannu is very cunning and must not be fooled easily.

As a result, three days later, Sun Chuanting reported that he had taken down Zhengzhou City and led more than 200,000 troops to Kaifeng Prefecture City, without any resistance along the way.

How is this possible!

Zhu Qizhu couldn't believe his eyes anymore. Wu Sangui really dared to leave behind the only important town in the south of the capital and run away?

This is a bit incredible.

Next, there are many incredible things.

Not long after, Qin Banghan, who was far away in Baodezhou, heard another news that Shang Kexi, who was stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture City, also ran away. Moreover, the defenders in Ningwu, Daizhou, Dingxiang, Xinzhou and other places also ran away. All the defenders in Shanxi, where they could find them, ran away!

I'm going, is this monk Wu Sangui happy to be the rebellion of Jiannu?

Zhu Qizhua received the news and felt it was really amazing.

These two guys have committed the rebellion of Jiannu in history. The problem is that they rebeled when Jiannu wanted to cut off their vassals.

Moreover, if you want to fight against Jiannu at this time, you will definitely have to surrender to his Yongsheng Dynasty.

Why didn’t these two guys notify him or run to him?

Could this be Jiannu’s trick again?

Before Zhu Qizhe could figure out what was going on, Sun Chuanting heard another news that the Mongolian Yuan infantry withdrawn from Zhengzhou Prefecture did not stop in Daming Prefecture. Instead, he led more than 10,000 people who had originally stationed there and rushed north. Wu Sangui even led his men to the direction of the capital without looking back.

This is a sign of defeat!

Question, I didn’t chase you, why are you running?

The red utensil was a little dumbfounded.

He thought about it and simply ordered Zheng Chenggong to send Chelunge to Zhengzhou to take Sun Chuanting over.

At this moment, he could no longer guess what Jiannu wanted to do, so he could only take this expert over and ask.

Kaifeng Prefecture City is only about 800 miles away from Jinan Prefecture City, and it is also on the bank of the Yellow River. The wheels and boats are almost there for a day and a night. If they go downstream, they can come back in less than a day.

The next afternoon, Sun Chuanting was taken to Jinan Prefecture City. Zhu Qizhua immediately recruited him into his temporary study room and asked impatiently: "Boya, what do you think Jiannu means?"

Sun Chuanting looked at the map on the table and asked without answering, "Your Majesty, I dared to ask, are we unable to find out the news about the capital?"

this.

well!

Zhu Qituo couldn't help but sigh and said, "Yes, Jiannu is very strict in his defense and does not allow ordinary people to leave their residence. Our secret guards in the capital have not been sent back for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting nodded slowly and said, "That's right. It seems that Jiannu is preparing to escape back to Liaodong."

ah?

Zhu Qizhu couldn't help but say in surprise: "Aren't we going to launch a full-scale attack yet? Why did Jiannu run away?"

Sun Chuanting pointed to the map and explained in detail: "Jiannu should be scared by our strength. Master, you see, we have gathered nearly 200,000 troops in Baodezhou, and the Kaifeng Prefecture army has as many as 300,000 troops. As for your side, Jiannu alone can detect more than 200,000. The three armies combined are more than 700,000, and Jiannu can gather at most 300,000 troops. In other words, even if they gather all their troops, they may not be able to defeat our army. As long as we fight steadily and do not take risks, they have no chance at all, and they can only watch us advance step by step to the capital. In this case, Jiannu should have no other way except to retreat to Liaodong."

Zhu Qizhuo was still confused and said, "What's the use of retreating to Liaodong if they don't keep a strong city like Kaifeng, Taiyuan, and even Beijing?"

Sun Chuanting pointed to the map and continued to explain: "Your Majesty, you see, if Wu Sangui defends Kaifeng to the death, he will definitely be attacked by our middle and east armies, and he will not be able to withstand it at all. Once Kaifeng Prefecture is lost, Shang Kexi from Taiyuan will be attacked by our middle and north armies, and will not be able to defend it either. However, it will be different for them to retreat to Liaodong. Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin defense lines are all like natural barriers. They have fought for more than 20 years but have not been defeated. In this case, they will definitely rely on Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin defense lines to deal with us, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

Zhu Qizhi looked at the map and couldn't help but smile proudly: "Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin Defense Line? They are afraid they are thinking too much. The navy under my command is not a decoration. We can completely bypass the Shanhaiguan Defense Line and use naval warships to transport the army to Gaizhou or Zhenjiang to land. What will they do to resist at that time?"

Sun Chuanting said helplessly: "Master, they may not know how strong our navy is. They should think that our navy is similar to the Tianqi Dynasty and Chongzhen Dynasty. Although the navy of the Ming Dynasty was not very strong at that time, it was still much stronger than those without navy. Didn't they win?"

Well, this is indeed possible.

If Jiannu knew the power of the navy, he would definitely vigorously develop the navy after seizing the world.

In history, Jiannu did not vigorously develop the navy. It was not until the great powers came that they realized the power of strong ships and powerful guns, and they wanted to develop the navy.

Unfortunately, it was too late at that time.

It seems that Jiannu is really ready to run away. Although Taiyuan and Kaifeng are heroic cities, they are all exposed to the fields and cannot withstand the siege of superior forces. They must not want to consume their troops in these hopeless places, so they let the monk Wu Sangui Kexi lead his army to run away.

After all, both Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin defense lines need to be guarded. If Wu Sangui falls well, who will guard Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin defense lines for them!

Zhu Qizhuo nodded slightly, then asked again: "What about the capital? Do you think they will send people to stay behind?"

Sun Chuanting looked at the map again and then said cautiously: "They may send people to stay in the capital, or they may not send people to stay in it. However, if they send people to stay in it, that person will definitely fall into our hands."

If Dorgon heard Sun Chuanting's words, his eyes would probably fall out of shock.

They were indeed ready to give up Shanxi, Henan and Zhili in the north, and fled back to Liaodong to wait for the opportunity.

They did want to use Shanhaiguan and Guanningjin defense line to block the Yongsheng Dynasty's army.

As for the capital, they did leave someone to the Crazy King Zhu Qi.

This person is Feng Quan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Minister of Rites!
