Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1337 Trying to Sum
The 8000 gold army in Yan'an lost 4000 people. After losing Suiyan deputy general Sheng Jiading, the golden general Sun Sike who went south from Hetao took more than 3000 troops and more than [-] Mongolian cavalry to the north of Yulin Mansion. They dared not enter the front line of the Great Wall. The Great Wall is gone.

Similarly, the [-] new troops from Ningxia and the [-] garrison troops also stopped when they arrived in Jingbian County, northwest of Yan'an. Neither group of troops had enough confidence to recover Suide and Yulin.

This allowed the Ming army to gain a firm foothold, supplies were continuously transported to Wubao, and another battalion of the Ming army arrived on the west bank of the Yellow River, which further strengthened the strength of the Ming army, and the whole situation began to develop in a direction that was extremely unfavorable to the Kingdom of Jin.

From the Guanzhong crisis to the Northern Shaanxi Incident, it took the Ming army a hole in the Jin army's defense line, and it took less than a month. He was completely confused by the illusion of the Ming Dynasty's military expansion, and did not expect the war to come so quickly.

At the end of October, Yongzhang ushered in the first heavy snow in ten years. The land in Guanzhong was instantly white, and the sky became gray.The cold wind was wrapped in goose feathers and heavy snow, raging for a day and a night, the whole land was immediately covered with snow, Chang'an City has become a snow-covered world.

The people in Guanzhong have entered the cold winter at once. It can be imagined that the entire Guanzhong area will not have a good winter.

Although Yu Yin, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Jin Dynasty, implemented a set of reform strategies to calm down the crisis, the whole Guanzhong was still in a state of depression. After the crisis, the business of Chang'an City was sluggish and lifeless.

On the entire street, the shops were closed and closed, and there was no one on the street, except for the long queues outside the money bank and the grain store.

The common people were wrapped in cotton-padded clothes and caps, with their hands trembling in their sleeves. In the cold wind, they waited desperately for the endless line to move forward slowly.

The court of the Kingdom of Jin blocked the news that the Ming army crossed the Yellow River and occupied Suide Prefecture and Yulin Prefecture in northern Shaanxi. The people in Chang'an did not know that the Jin army had suffered a defeat in the north. Otherwise, the situation in Chang'an, which had just stabilized, would definitely become chaotic immediately. .

To a certain extent, Jin Guo would also like to thank the heavy snow. If the heavy snow hadn't blocked the road, the news from northern Shaanxi would have reached Chang'an long ago.However, Yan'an is not far from Chang'an, and the paper cannot keep fire after all. The news that the Ming army occupied Suide and Yulin will always spread to Chang'an, and the court of the Kingdom of Jin will not have much time to hide it.

In the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, Hauge urgently summoned Meng Qiaofang, Han Chaoxuan, Yu Yin and others to discuss the situation.

The brazier was lit in the study room, and the room was scorched warmly, but Hauge’s heart was filled with chills. He glanced at the people sitting on both sides, threw the memorial on the table, and said angrily: “Ming Jun In Tongguan, I estimate that Shangyong and Sichuan have also started to act, but because of the distance, the court has not yet received the king of Shu's report."

The faces of several university scholars on both sides changed one after another, and Meng Qiaofang remained calm, "Your Majesty, from this point of view, from the expansion of 20 troops, to the soaring price of cotton, to the crisis in Guanzhong, the raid on northern Shaanxi, and now the attack on Tongguan, the king thief The actions are one after another, really deliberate. This person's heart is too dark, and he has used so many schemes. He is afraid that after the Qing Dynasty is wiped out, he has already started to make a plan to attack my Dajin."

"This time we were completely beaten by a mistake, and we were not fully prepared, whether it was military strength or supplies." Han Chaoxuan also sighed, "Right now Ming's intentions are very obvious, first disrupt Guanzhong, and then Send troops to attack. I was already passive in the court, and now there are problems in northern Shaanxi, it is even more difficult to deal with."

Hauge has already understood these things now, there is no need for the two of them to say more, he waved his hand impatiently, "I already know these things, and I have summoned several Qing families to discuss how to deal with it!"

After hearing Hauge's words, several people in the hall straightened their bodies. It is true that now is not the time to talk about the predicament. Everyone has eyes and can see. Now it is necessary to provide a strategy to solve the immediate predicament.

Meng Qiaofang coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, to solve the current predicament, we must first solve the problem in northern Shaanxi. If Yulin and Suide cannot be taken back, more and more Ming troops will cross the river, and the defense of the entire Guanzhong will be destroyed." collapse."

Hauge nodded, but frowned again: "We want to take it back as soon as possible, but the Ming army started to attack Tongguan and Hanzhong. If there are fewer troops, they will not be able to take back northern Shaanxi. If there are more troops, it will affect the defense of other places in Guanzhong. Does Meng Qing have any specific strategies?"

This was indeed the crux of the problem. Meng Qiaofang had already thought about it after getting the Ming army to cross the river.

He pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I, Dajin, am not ready yet. We must first try to make peace with the Ming Dynasty! See if we can get the Ming army to withdraw from northern Shaanxi! Of course, while negotiating, we also have to try Take it back by force."

"Peace?" Hauge said coldly, "What about the conditions?"

If he can talk, Hauge will naturally be willing to make peace. The country of Jin is in chaos now, and there is another gap in northern Shaanxi. It is too passive to fight, as if the opponent has already crossed the river with soldiers, and the country of Jin is missing a car. The chances of winning too small.

Hauge is also willing to make peace, but Mr. Wang has put so much thought into it, can he make peace with him?Jin Guo didn't have any cards to make peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Meng Qiaofang was silent for a while, then stood up suddenly, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being bold. If you want to make peace, you can only proclaim yourself a minister and cede Hanzhong. Even so, there is a great possibility that Ming will not agree. After all, the king thief is deliberate. , Now that he has seized a prefecture and a government office in northern Shaanxi, Wang Thief will not let go of such an opportunity easily. However, I think that as long as there is a chance, you can give it a try."

"Ceding Hanzhong is the fiefdom of the King of Shu!" Hauge frowned.

Han Chaoxuan didn't have any confidence either. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's easy to talk about the king of Shu. If Guanzhong is not guaranteed, Hanzhong will become a turtle in the urn. As long as the Ming Dynasty agrees to peace talks, I think the king of Shu is not a problem." The key point now is that most of the Ming Dynasty will not talk about peace, but the minister agrees with Meng Xiang's point of view, and we still need to talk about it. I am not prepared now, and the treasury cannot support a long-term war. If the army can win a few battles, we may be able to The treasury was exhausted like never before, forcing the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace."

Wu Sangui was not here, but neither Meng Qiaofang nor Han Chaoxuan wanted to fight, so they decided for Wu Sangui directly.

Hauge nodded. He didn't feel bad about trading Hanzhong for peace. As for whether Wu Sangui would agree, he didn't need to think about it now, because the peace talks were not sure.

"Okay!" Hauge nodded slightly, then looked at Han Chaoxuan, "Han Qing has been sent to the Ming Dynasty many times, this matter should be left to the Qing family!"

"The minister has no shirkable responsibility!" Han Chaoxuan saluted and accepted the order.

At this time, Yu Yin couldn't help standing up and said: "Your Majesty, there is not much hope for the peace talks. We can't pin our hopes on this. I think that no matter what the talks are, we must try to take them back by force now!"
