After the Tatars collapsed, they did not organize a decent offensive again.

In order to seek self-protection, the tribes withdrew their troops before they could wait for the withdrawal order to be issued. For a time, the troops outside the nine gates of the capital were in chaos.

At this time, the Tatars were worried that the Ming army would take the initiative and be cautious. They once looked at their heads and didn't care about their butts. As a result, there was no movement in the city until the evacuation was completed.

When Chen Xi took back all the infantry formations and prepared to attack again, there was no trace of Tatar cavalry around him.

The Chenxi army was basically infantry in the formation, so naturally he could not catch up with the four-legged cavalry of the Tartars. He could only hand over the surrounding cavalry to Wang Lingzhi and Lin Heng to lead the cavalry.

Wang Lingzhi was very addicted to this war. He killed no less than a hundred people on the battlefield alone. In the end, he even cut off the blade and still led the cavalry to chase him.

When Chen Xi led the infantry into Nanyuan, the camp where the Tatar king's tent was originally located was empty.

The Tartars evacuated in a very hurry, and the robbed gold, silver, jewelry and other property were scattered everywhere. In addition, there were some food, grass and supplies. In addition, thousands of people imprisoned in the Nanyuan Palace, Chen Xi had to stop the troops and clean up the mess.

After everything was done, the officers and soldiers set up camp to make rice. Zhu Lie came over to apologize to Chen Xi and said dejectedly: "Mr. Shen, it's the fault of Bei Zhi. Bei Zhi never thought that the Tartars attacked so fiercely. The bastards under my command suddenly became cowards, and were killed by the Tartars, and then..."

Zhu Lie had a dull face, and Liu Xu and Hu Songyue, who were accompanying him, looked bad. They knew their abilities. If they hadn't followed Chen Xi, they would never have had the opportunity to make achievements on the battlefield in their entire lives.

"fine!"

Chen Xi had already received a scout report. The main force of Tatars went southwest of the capital and comforted him, "Next, we can just make the punishment of the merits and punishments. We will continue to pursue them, follow the Tatars all the way to the Zijing Pass. The war to recover the Zijing Pass will come to an end!"

Liu Xu asked in surprise: "Mr. Shen, aren't we going to the capital?"

Chen Xi asked back: "Entering the capital? How to enter the method?"

Liu Xu thought about it carefully that although he led the troops of the Beijing camp, he had now allocated border troops, and so many cavalry in the army were border troops. During the war, the court did withdraw the troops around the capital, but now the Tatars have retreated and have no imperial decree. Even if they win a battle, there is no excuse to enter the city.

Liu Xu clenched his fists: "Since you can't go back to the capital, you might as well continue to make contributions and chase the Tartars to Zijing Pass... Lao Hu, Lao Zhu, what do you think?"

In fact, at this point, Liu Xu, Hu Songyue, Zhu Lie and others were no longer interested in fighting, but since Chen Xi ordered the end of this battle to be Zijing Pass, no matter how reluctant they were, they could only follow their orders.

Hu Songyue asked, "Mr. Shen, to say something unpleasant, the soldiers have been going on the battle for a long time, and they are all thinking about their wives, children, and young people at home. How long does it take to finish the war? Don't go to Zijing Pass and say you want to go out of the frontier. At that time, it may not be easy to explain to the officers and soldiers."

"It's only three or five days!"

Chen Xi analyzed, "The Tartars are only concerned about escaping. Instead of fighting, we are accepting spoils. When we chase after Zijing Pass, we will stop moving forward. After all, there are three-sided soldiers of Liu Shangshu in the Datong area, and he is the main force to deal with the Tatar soldiers!"

Chen Xi had previously learned that Yi Sima had withdrawn his troops. In his opinion, Yi Sima had lost the vitality around the capital that hindered Liu Daxia's return to the capital. As long as Liu Daxia recovered Xuanfu Town and regained Zhangjiakou Fort, it was likely to block the route of the Tatars' main force's retreat to the grassland.

Chen Xi didn't want to pay attention to the rest because he felt that his mission had been basically completed.

...

...

The Battle of Defense of the Capital ended with the victory of the Ming Dynasty. The Tatar soldiers hurriedly withdrew their troops. Even though the defenders at each city gate had the intention of chasing them, the military orders were as high as a mountain. The court did not allow any city gate to open. All the soldiers could only continue to act as turtles and watch the Tatars leave at the head of the city.

Xie Qian was confirming that the Tatars were really withdrawing their troops rather than betrayed the defeat, so he hurried back to the palace with good news.

Xie Qiandai was like a dream. Yesterday, the capital was full of dangers, and today he won a great victory, which was far beyond his imagination. Now only Chen Xi led his troops to come from all over the country. As a result, Shen Xi led his troops to beat the Tartars and retreated with one force. The war ended miraculously, and the process was somewhat similar to the battle to defend the capital after the Battle of Tumu Fort.

Xie Qian thought: "The Ming Dynasty capital will probably become a nightmare for the remnants of the Mongol Yuan. Whether it is the Oirat or the Tatars, they all failed to sink into the sand under the capital, and they are blessed by God! Of course, this time it was thanks to the timely return of Chenxi children to help, otherwise the battle between Xizhimen and Zhengyangmen today would be lost."

"In addition, Wang Bo'an also made great contributions today, but he burned the city and caused a large number of casualties in our army. I wonder how to explain to His Majesty?"

Thinking of Wang Shouren's fire at Zhengyang Gate before, he threw oil and set fire without discrimination. The Ming soldiers screamed and fell down the city wall with fire. The creepy howling made Xie Qian unable to bear to think about it. Xie Qian said intimidatingly: "I asked myself that I am not a stubborn person. For some reason, I am so uneasy?"

When he entered the palace, Xie Qian accelerated his pace to Wenyuan Pavilion. He ignored all the way to greet the officials of Liuke and Zhongshuo Department.

After entering Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Qian learned that several important figures of the dynasty were there. In addition to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, there were also two members of the advisory group, Ma Wensheng and Xiong Xiu, as well as many officials from six ministries.

When Liu Jian saw Xie Qian, he quickly got up and asked: "Yu Qiao, you are finally back. I didn't know what to do before. The battle of Zhengyang Gate... has he won?"

Xie Qian nodded and said with certainty: "Diyi's troops have withdrawn from the city!"

Liu Jian complained: "Don't say whether you have withdrawn from the city, what I'm asking you now is... Can the Di Yi soldiers withdraw from the surrounding areas of the capital?"

"this……"

Xie Qian looked around the ministers present and hesitated, saying, "You can't say that for the time being. It is true that Di Yi withdraws troops. It should be at least ten or twenty miles away from the capital at this time! However, there are still questions about whether it will make a comeback later."

"Okay, OK!"

Everyone present was excited.

The big stones entrenched in the hearts of these top civil officials were finally put down by this moment, but the Tatars were still stranded in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and could not be taken lightly, because the Tatars could kill them at any time.

Liu Jian smiled and said, "It's okay to win. The messenger had praised Bo'an for his great role in this war. It seems that it's a great move to take him over and help!"

Xie Qian saw Liu Jian's admiration for Wang Shouren, and his namelessness became angry. He knew very well why these old ministers valued Wang Shouren so much.

Now Wang Shouren is not very outstanding in all aspects, but there is only Wang Hua, the father who can be said to be infinitely close to the position of a minister of the cabinet. Now Wang Hua has served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and may be recruited into the cabinet at any time. Liu Jian and others value Wang Shouren, the meaning behind it is worthy of intrigue.

Xie Qian was a little resentful: "There was a fire above the city and countless casualties. If this is considered help, the contribution of the soldiers outside the city will be nothing!"

Regardless of whether he had prejudice against Xie Qian in the past, he could hear the strong dissatisfaction contained in his words at this time.

Liu Jian asked tentatively: "Yu Qiao, the soldiers outside the city you mentioned... were brought back by Chen Xi? I heard yesterday that this son escaped from Tumu Fort and was the first to lead troops back to Beijing to serve the king. It can be seen that his talent is worthy of great use. The court has always used only talents. Since he has the ability, he can just do more things in the future!"

Xie Qian was furious and thought to himself: "The child of Chen Xi was originally a Hanlin official. You have been recruited for many years. I have only been an official for four or five years. I don't know how many places he has gone? Is there no one in the Ming Dynasty that can replace Chen Xi, so that he can stay in the capital for several years?"

Li Dongyang looked a little puzzled and asked, "Yu Qiao, did you really meet Chen Hanlin yesterday?"

Xie Qian looked bad: "Binzhi, do you suspect that I falsely reported the war?"

Li Dongyang didn't say anything with a dark face.

The person who denies Chen Xi the most was Li Dongyang. Chen Xi was the most embarrassed when he came back. After all, it was because of Li Dongyang's repeated suspicion of the military situation reported by Chen Xi that the war in the northwest continued to worsen. Now he realized that Chen Xi had returned to the capital from the heavy siege of the Tartars and became the savior of the Ming Dynasty. How could he let go of this old face?

In fact, Chen Xi used practical actions to slap Li Dongyang hard, which made him feel very uncomfortable. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-03-11 09:06:18
