After the five thousand Denglai soldiers under Zhang Keda landed at Tianjin Guard, they learned from the Tianjin Guard that the Jiannu army was divided into two parts and wreaked havoc in the northeast and southwest of Gyeonggi.
Zhang Keda was extremely depressed after hearing this, because how the Denglai army reached the capital at this time was a big problem.
This time entering the capital to defend the capital seems to be more dangerous than the previous battle of King Qin.
When Huang Taiji led his troops to attack last time, they mainly moved in the northeast and north of the capital, Jizhen, Changping, and the four cities.
The main battles were mainly It appeared there.
The west and south of the capital were relatively calm.
Only the Mongols' light cavalry wreaked havoc, which caused great harm to the people but little threat to the Ming army.
However, this time the Jiannu slave chief Beile Abatai wandered around Changping, Pinggu, Sanhe, Jixian and other places in the northeast of Gyeonggi Province, while Heshuo Beile Azig and Dorgon led their troops to wreak havoc in Xiong County of Bazhou in the southwest, and even The front was directed at the fortified city of Baoding, causing beacon fires everywhere in the southwest of Gyeongsang Province.
Warnings continued, and it was hard to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
It was a confusing and confusing feeling.
The large scope of activities of these two main slave-building forces gave Zhang Ke a headache, making him uncertain about where to safely enter Beijing.
Zhang Keda was thinking about how to avoid the main force of the slave establishment, but he did not want to fight with the main force of the slave establishment in the wild.
Although all the five thousand soldiers under his command were wearing armor this time, thanks to Zhao Lie's support, his subordinates lacked such top-notch combat power as Zhao Lie.
Without Zhao Lie's command, he didn't think that the Denglai army would still have the combat power to fight against the Jiannu soldiers in the field.
That was impossible.
Since they are unable to defeat them, how to avoid the majority of Jiannu is an urgent issue.
In the end, Zhang Keda decided to take the old road to Beijing several years ago, starting from Tianjin Wei and passing through Gu'an and Zhuozhou to Beijing.
Firstly, this road was relatively familiar.
He had walked it for a day a few years ago and was very familiar with the mountain and river trends.
It just happened to avoid the slave armies from the southwest and northeast, so it can be regarded as surviving in the cracks.
After setting off from Tianjin Wei, the Denglai soldiers had a smooth journey and finally arrived in Gu'an County after more than four days.
Arrive at Gu'an County.
Zhang Ke was relieved, and here he sent hundreds of cavalry to investigate the movements of the slave-building army.
The soldiers were cunning, and he was deeply afraid that the slave-building army would set a trap for him.
Although he didn't think that his family would attract such great attention from the slaves, he was careful.
He couldn't risk the lives of thousands of people.
As a result, the news that came back from the night was that the two groups of slave armies in the northeast and southwest were still making trouble in their respective areas and had no intention of moving here at all, which meant that this road was very safe at this time.
Zhang Keda couldn't believe his good luck.
Zhang Keda made a decisive decision to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Zhuozhou as soon as possible and then enter the capital from the south.
In his opinion, this opportunity was fleeting.
If he didn't seize it, he might never have such a good opportunity again.
Zhang Keda ordered the soldiers to rest early that night and set off for Zhuozhou early the next morning.
If An Sheng arrived in Zhuozhou, it would be a success.
When the time comes, it will be easy to choose whether to enter the capital.
At least King Qin has entered the capital.
It is very close to the capital.
The court and the emperor cannot find anything wrong.
Then it will be much easier to find an opportunity to enter the capital.
After all, Zhuozhou is too close to the capital.
This is not to say that Denglai Commander-in-Chief Zhang Keda is not loyal to his duty, but that he knows that the combat power of his command is definitely no match for the enemy.
Trying to fight against tens of thousands of Jiannu's troops in the wild is to let his soldiers die needlessly.
It's just to let Jiannu increase his achievements.
He will never do such a stupid thing.
That night outside Gu'an City, the north wind howled, and there were no traces of birds or animals in the wilderness, making people feel extremely depressed and uneasy.
In a mountain valley more than 20 miles southeast of Gu'an County, thousands of bonfires lit up the entire valley in the dark night, and a large army was hidden under the eyes of the Gu'an Ming Army.

Although this place is not far from Gu'an.
But it was not near the official road, and there were few people.
The army of slaves came in droves, and killed all the Ming people they met on the road.
Just for fear of leaking the military plan, of course rape, robbery and robbery are indispensable.
Now there are no survivors in several nearby villages and people.
Under the orange firelight, the armored soldiers wearing tall lightning rod helmets were eating hot soup.
In this cold and dark night, having hot rice and hot soup was simply the greatest delicacy in the world.
Of course, due to the strict order of the master.
The rough laughter and loud shouts of the Jiannu army were now replaced by low-pitched conversations.
Jiannu scouts were guarding the surrounding high places to ensure that the enemy could not find their traces.
Beside a huge fire, Azig was tearing into a freshly roasted leg of lamb.
A skinned sheep was sizzling on the bonfire beside it, and the fat was dripping down continuously, fueling the heat below.
The fire is strong, the aroma of meat is overflowing, and it makes people's index fingers tickle.
Dorgon took out a fine iron dagger and cut off a large piece of tender lamb chops.
He wiped the dagger skillfully on the horse's sleeve, and then took a big bite.
At this time, the owner of the Zhengbai Banner did not have any big money.
There is no difference between the same herdsmen.
"Brother Twelve, you shouldn't be so careful.
It's just a few thousand Ming troops."
Dorgon said unclearly.
He didn't agree with being so cautious.
"If there is a Ming army under Zhao Lie here, we must not be careless."
Azig rattled his brittle bones, as if his teeth were made of fine iron.
"Even among them are Zhao Lie's troops, only four to five thousand people.
Even if Zhao Lie brings all the cavalry, our army will still have 20,000 armored soldiers and auxiliary troops and 10,000 Han troops against the enemy in the field.
Qian Mingjun, discipline Zhao Lie’s subordinates to come and go.”
Dorgon also made a sizzling sound when he bit the lamb ribs.
It seemed that these two half-brothers had good teeth.
"You know what?
I'm just afraid that the Denglai army will stay in Gu'an if they find out that my army is approaching.
Will you go and capture the fortified city then?"
Azig glared.
He was actually a violent person by nature, but he was severely suppressed under Huang Taiji.
At the same time, Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and other big Baylors held high positions and had no choice but to suppress him.
Live by your tail.
Nowadays, several big Belles are dying, imprisoned, and some are not concerned with worldly affairs, but he has been given the opportunity to lead the army alone in the battle, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and his authority is getting stronger, and his violent temper has also appeared.
But Dorgon didn't agree with him.
Now Dorgon is also the banner owner of Zhengbai Banner.
He and Azig share the banner of Zhengbai Banner.
Each of them has half of the Niulu in the flag.
Moreover, he also has the righteousness of the banner owner.
It can be said that On an equal footing with Azig.
"Okay, Brother Twelve, just do as you say."
Dorgon continued to fight against the mutton chops without raising his head.
Of course, when it came to fighting against Zhao Lie, Dorgon stopped talking.

That was courting death.
Azig was depressed for a moment, but now the fourteenth old man is different from the past.
He is also the leader of a banner.
Azig is not the bastard he used to be.
Now that his power is increasing, the Khan is wary of him, so he wins over a group of people.
Mother and brother Dorgon are a must.
Azig shook his head and continued to chew the leg of lamb.
The whole valley was filled with the sound of chewing, and the sound of the Jin army from Liaodong eating was also full of ferocious energy.
The weather was nice this morning.
The strong wind that had been howling all night had subsided, and the sky was blue.
It was a good day for marching.
Zhang Keda led the entire army and marched westward from Gu'an at the beginning of the morning.
The journey was very fast.
After noon, they had already traveled more than 20 miles from Gu'an.
After all, Gu'an had rested for a few days and the soldiers' physical strength had recovered.
The journey was quite fast as soon as they hit the road.
At this moment, the detective horse behind reported that tens of thousands of Jiannu's troops had arrived at Gu'an City and were galloping towards the west.
"Where did the slave-building army come from?"
Zhang Ke was shocked and angry.
He sent out five hundred cavalry to explore the enemy's situation in front, rear, left and right.
Of course, there were relatively few soldiers behind.
After all, it was from the same route, not far from Gu'an, so he was somewhat careless.
Jianu really suddenly appeared from here. of.
"Sir, I don't know exactly where they came from.
There are too many enemy scouts, so I can't really go deep.
I just know that they are all cavalry.
I estimate that there are at least 20,000 cavalry."
The leader of the scouts at the back was also complaining in his heart.
He only had fifty people under his command, and there were hundreds of Jiannu scouts to deal with.
It was good to be able to see the Jiannu army at a glance, and how could he take care of the rest.
Zhang Ke sighed deeply, and he immediately sent out several close servants to tell them to arrive in Zhuozhou immediately, where they were waiting for the outcome of the battle.
He handed over a suicide note he had written long ago to these old family generals.
This place is still far away from Zhuozhou, and the Jiannu army, which is all cavalry, is only twenty miles away.
At this time, it is no longer possible to avoid the battle.
"My lord, you can lead the cavalry and leave immediately.
The general will lead the infantry here to stop Jiannu's pursuers."
Liao Zhengyuan, the general who followed him from Nanjing this time, handed over his hand.
"Hahaha, I, Zhang Keda, have been fighting in the north and south all my life.
I am the only one who has pursued the enemy.
I have never abandoned my army and fled.
If Zhang Keda did this, he would have escaped from the dead.
How can he stand up in the future?
Between heaven and earth.
It also makes the Zhang family in Nanjing ashamed."
Zhang Ke waved his hand decisively, "General Liao, don't mention this matter again.

Although we will definitely be defeated when encountering the Jiannu army, our army will make Jiannu pay a heavy price and let them know that the Ming Dynasty is not a general who has not killed slaves for the country. " "The last general will follow you to the death."
Liao Zhengyuan gave a deep salute.
Of course he didn't want Zhang Keda to escape alone.
After all, if 3,500 infantry troops encountered Jiannu, all in cavalry and armor, in the wilderness, a single light would cause a collapse.
Zhang Keda was patrolling around, and he saw the foot of a hill two or three miles to the right.
He pointed there with his riding crop and halberd, "Have the troops go there immediately to take over the formation, so that you only have to deal with the enemy in front of you when you are carrying the mountain behind."
Liao Zhengyuan hurriedly accepted the order, and the 3,500 infantry troops hurriedly left the official road and turned to the right wing.
