However, what Huang Taiji never expected was that the root cause of Zhang Wanchun's so-called grab-and-run strategy was greed for life and fear of death, rather than an analysis of the strategic situation.

Emperor Chongzhen's reputation was very fierce, and there was an uproar in the grassland. How could it be possible that Daming himself didn't publicize it?

Especially the shameless Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhang Wanchun felt that once Emperor Chongzhen arrived, it would be difficult to survive with Huang Taiji's more than 1 troops alone.

What will I do then?

Just think of Yuan Chonghuan who was cut alive and Fan Wencheng who was cast into a kneeling bronze statue by Tao alive.

At that time, I will not be able to please myself.

I don't even have the courage to fight to the death with Jiannu, how can I have the courage to fight to the death with the Emperor Chongzhen who built a Beijing temple every now and then?

It's just that Huang Taiji thinks that Zhang Wanchun should be regarded as a talent.

Now that Zhang Wanchun has the same opinion as his own and shouldn't cling to Zunhua, Huang Taiji is more and more convinced that his original decision was correct.

It's just that it's uncomfortable and tight if you don't knock it.

It's like a wedding night in the bridal chamber, you take off your clothes, but you give up because you are not hard enough, it makes you annoyed to think about it.

So Huang Taiji felt that he should give it a try.

What Zhang Wanchun said just now about sending a traitor to open the city gate is very reliable: "General Zhang just said to let the traitor open the city gate, but I don't know who is more suitable?"

Zhang Wanchun apologized and said with a smile: "Qi Da Khan, I happen to have a few soldiers by my side, they are all the children of my family, it is really suitable for them to go to Zunhua City to open the city gate."

After humming, Huang Taiji ordered: "In this case, General Zhang will go to make some arrangements, and Ben Khan will surround Zunhua later."

After a short pause, Huang Taiji continued: "If Zunhua is captured, General Zhang will take the lead. At that time, Ben Khan will not hesitate to award rewards. The position of Batulu is already waving to General Zhang."

Hearing this, Zhang Wanchun was even more delighted, and immediately stopped thinking about what to do after the Chongzhen Emperor's army arrived, and simply went out to arrange for the traitors to enter the city.

Guo Wencheng, the county magistrate of Zunhua County, was sitting in the county yamen at this time, looking at the yamen servants in the hall, and issued orders one after another.

At this time, the four gates of Zunhua City were under martial law, but each gate had a separate opening, so that the people who fled from behind could enter the city.

As for the streets in the entire Zunhua city, you can see various classes of government servants walking back and forth and patrolling everywhere.

The common thieves of the past are all hidden.

The county magistrate said that whoever dares to commit a crime at this time will be executed on the spot after being caught, and there will be no mercy.

Under the high pressure, even though some people were panicking, there was no chaos in the city of Zunhua.

Cheng Zhiyi, Zunhua's general army, was also dispatching soldiers from nearby guards, and news of rescue was constantly being sent to the capital's five-army governor's mansion.

Cheng Zhiyi had a headache.

Although Zunhua's troops are stronger than those at the small passes, they are actually inferior in terms of elite level and equipment.

Especially the hand mine that is particularly easy to use.

It is very common for people to have ten or twenty pieces of this kind of thing at each post at the border gates, but when it comes to these inner cities, there are usually only ten or eight pieces-it is said that the guards and cities in the interior do not have such items at all. stuff.

The only good thing is that Zunhua is the gateway to the capital after all, so there is no shortage of shells for the cannon and bullets for the firecracker.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Zhiyi ordered: "Go, send a soldier from Baihusuo to help those government servants maintain order in the city. Zunhua City must not be chaotic."

After a thousand households responded, Cheng Zhiyi said gloomyly again: "Get your bloody spirits up, if something goes wrong in Zunhua, then the head of the army will be lost, so don't even think about getting lost." go.

You should also have heard about our Majesty's temper.

Even if we all died in Zunhua City, our wives, children, and members of the nine clans would all benefit from it.

If anyone demoted Jian slaves with unreasonable intentions, hehe. "

Cheng Zhiyi's last hehe, the meaning in it, none of the people present could not understand.

Fan Wencheng and Yuan Chonghuan are the best examples.

With a shudder in their hearts, everyone bowed in response, and then went to arrange the city defense matters.

The matter of city defense really needs to be stepped up. In the middle of the night when the smoke of Da'ankou was ignited, a messenger came to report the news of the fall.

Among the other passes, Longjing Pass and Hongshan Pass were also reported lost.

According to the itinerary of Jiannu, it only takes a mere day or two to reach the city of Zunhua.

Looking at the city gate of Zunhua, which was already under martial law, Qin Guang, the eunuch who supervised the army at Longjingguan, wiped off his sweat, and smiled at Ma Shi who was still lying in the carriage: "It's done, Zunhua is in front of us, and it's finally here." The grandsons of Jiannu arrived earlier."

Ma Shiqiang endured the pain and said, "Go into the city quickly and settle the people behind us.

Ma led his people to abandon the pass before firing his gun, and he probably couldn't escape.His Majesty will not spare Ma, but if these people can survive, Ma is content. "

Qin Guang laughed with a sharp voice: "Come on, although it is said that abandoning the land and fleeing is a capital offense, but if you can bring these people back, His Majesty will not kill you."

Ma Shi smiled wryly, thinking that Qin Guang was comforting himself, and after waving his hand to signal others to arrange the matter of entering the city, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, and stopped talking.

It's just that Ma Shi just closed his eyes for a while, when he heard Qin Guang gasp.

Qin Guang said: "Old Ma, look at those outside, are they the soldiers of Zhang Wanchun's grandson?"

Ma Shi's descendants were buried in the hands of Zhang Wanchun, and his soldiers were not good birds, so they were naturally very impressive.

Now that Qin Guang said that there were these grandsons outside, Ma Shi didn't care about the pain from his incision, he struggled to lift his head up, opened the curtain and looked outside the carriage.

But just as the curtain was lifted, Ma Shi lowered the curtain again, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if these grandchildren are turned into ashes, I will know them."

Qin Guang hummed, and lowered his voice: "The grandson of Zhang Wanchun surrendered to Jiannu. These people must have been with them at the time, but now they are mixed with our team. I'm afraid it's a little strange."

Ma Shi gritted his teeth and said with a sneer: "That's weird. Jiannu itself is mainly cavalry, so it's fine to let them attack ordinary small passes. It's a big deal to pile up heads.

But this city of Zunhua is what they can pile up with human heads?According to Lao Tzu, these grandsons wanted to open the door for Jian Nu. "

Qin Guang sneered and said: "That's easy to do. Our family will let people take them all down. It can be regarded as an outlet for your old horse, how about it?"

But Ma Shi waved his hand, and said with a hey: "Don't tell me, it's too cheap to let them go like this, these grandchildren.

In my opinion, if you send people to keep an eye on these grandsons, let's go to Cheng Zongbing first, and when the time comes, we will punish those grandsons of Jiannu. "

Although Qin Guang has been supervising the army in the army, he has limited knowledge of military affairs, so he immediately asked: "What's the matter? This is a big place in Zunhua, and you still want to let Jiannu in?" What about closing the door and beating Gouchang?"

Ma Shi sneered and said, "You, Eunuch Qin, don't know how His Majesty dealt with Huangtai Ji's eldest son Hauge?"

Qin Guang shuddered, and said worriedly: "Although it's cool to say that you can kill a Jiannu general or something alive, but the city of Zunhua probably won't be able to let go of so many Jiannu?
