When Wu Yu returned to the Qianqing Palace, all the cabinet members had arrived.

"Now you know the situation, Sun Aiqing, Li Aiqing, please tell me what your Ministry of War thinks first."

As the Minister of War, Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua were the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, they had the most say in this matter.

After Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua looked at each other, they immediately stood up.

Sun Chengzong said, "Your Majesty, our Ministry of War means to fight, and to fight hard. It would be best to hurt the Jiannu at one time so that they dare not invade our Ming Dynasty again in a short time."

Since the Beijing Camp was equipped with new weapons, Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua had an idea of ​​being eager to fight the Jiannu, so when they heard that the Jiannu had violated the border again, they would not miss this opportunity.

After listening to Sun Chengzong's narration, Wu Yu realized that the two of them had the same idea as him.

"So what does the cabinet think? Prime Minister, tell us what your cabinet thinks."

When His Majesty called his name, Huang Liji immediately spoke up to echo what Sun and Li said.

"Your Majesty, our cabinet also agrees with what Lord Sun and Lord Li think, but how to fight this battle and to what extent it will be fought still depends on Your Majesty's will."

When Wu Yu heard the other party's question, he did not hide it and immediately expressed his thoughts.

"My meaning is very simple, that is to close the door and beat the dog!"

When Wu Yu said this, Huang Liji and others were immediately shocked, "Your Majesty means to let Huang Taiji enter the pass?"

"Yes, I will not only let Huang Taiji enter the pass, but also let him come to the capital. Only by taking advantage of the city and firearms can we inflict the greatest casualties on the enemy with the least loss of our own."

"This matter is of great importance. Please think twice, Your Majesty. Once an accident occurs..."

But Huang Liji was interrupted by Wu Yu before he finished speaking, "No accident, I understand the Prime Minister's meaning, but I have already made up my mind about this matter."

Letting Huang Taiji enter the pass and then catching the turtle in the jar was a plan he made after he ascended the throne.

And he had been preparing for this plan for a year. Except for him, Liaodong Jinglüe Wang Zaijin and Pidao General Mao Wenlong, no fourth person knew about it.

"Then should we talk to Wang Jinglüe first, and let him pretend to hold out for a while before letting Huang Taiji in?"

Understanding that he could not persuade him, Sun Chengzong simply led the question to how to let Huang Taiji in without being suspected by the other party.

"That's right. We should not only let Huang Taiji in, but also let Wang Jinglüe lead troops to support when the time is right, and completely block the retreat of the Jiannu army."

In fact, Wu Yu had one more sentence to say, that is, if he guessed correctly, Huang Taiji would probably not go through Shanhaiguan like the Jisi Rebellion in history, but would directly bypass Mongolia and go straight to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

And it was precisely this move that Yuan Chonghuan, who was guarding the front line, was beaten to the gates of Beijing by the enemy without even having time to react.

But now it was more than a year in advance, and Wu Yu didn't know whether Huang Taiji would do the same, so just in case, he still listened to Sun Chengzong's advice and asked Wang Zaijin to be prepared.

Not only Wang Zaijin, but also Lu Xiangsheng and the other four were not allowed to return to the capital directly by Wu Yu. Instead, they were asked to hide dozens of miles away from Beijing. When the time was right, they would work with the Beijing Camp Army in Beijing and Wang Zaijin who came back to help to make a fool of Huang Taiji.

Of course, the general direction was like this, but the specific operation depended on the intentions of Wang Zaijin and Lu Xiangsheng. After all, he didn't know much about military affairs, so it was best not to talk nonsense about such things, especially remote control.

"Okay, if there is no problem, everyone go down and prepare. In addition, I don't want anyone else to know about the plan except for a few of you, including your parents, wives and children. Otherwise, once the plan is leaked, no matter who it is or what position they hold, they will be punished for treason!"

Treason is a serious crime specially formulated by Wu Yu after he came to power. It is at the same level as rebellion. Once someone commits a crime, no matter who it is, they will be exterminated.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Wu Yu doesn't trust them, but he is just in case, especially when there are two Donglin Party officials.

If we talk about who is most likely to do bad things among the people present, it must be these two people. After all, the Donglin Party in history did everything to fight for the party, but for the balance of the court, Wu Yu had to do it.

Although he had no hope for them, he didn't ask them to do anything, but just asked them not to do bad things.

As for the other cabinet members, either they were dedicated to the country or, or they are Wu Yu's people, so naturally there is no need to worry about them leaking secrets.

"I understand, but Your Majesty, since you are going to let the Jiannu enter the pass, what about the people along the way?"

Huang Liji's words made everyone stunned. Yes, how could they forget such an important thing? If they really let the Jiannu enter the pass, the people along the way will inevitably suffer.

And if you want Huang Taiji not to be suspicious, you must not move a large number of people along the way, otherwise Huang Liji will definitely notice the trick.

This is simply a dead end!

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, since I dare to let the enemy in, I am naturally prepared."

Since Wu Yu dared to do this, he naturally had considered it. As early as a year ago, he had asked Wang Zaijin to make preparations. Once he found signs of the Jiannu entering the pass, he immediately notified the people along the way to hide in the nearby deep mountains and old forests, which were not only equipped with traps, but also had a lot of defensive fortifications.

Although this cannot completely eliminate Huang Taiji's doubts, as long as Huang Taiji finds that there are civilians nearby, it will certainly reduce his vigilance to a certain extent.

As for whether the other party will run into the deep mountains and old forests to capture people, Wu Yu thinks this possibility is not great. After all, Huang Taiji is not a fool. Since he is determined to attack Beijing City and plunder, he must know the principle of speed. One more day of delay will increase the probability of danger.

Of course, if the other party really wants to do this, Wu Yu has no choice. He can only protect those people as much as possible. Success or failure is not something he can decide.

In the final analysis, Huang Taiji's military action this time completely disrupted his deployment. Otherwise, if he is given another year, there is no need to let the other party enter the pass, and he can hit the enemy's lair.

Huang Liji and others could only nod in agreement after listening. They can naturally think of what Wu Yu can think of.

I believe that if Huang Taiji was not crazy, he would not slow down the march for the sake of the people who hid in the mountains and forests along the way, because this would be a loss.

In addition, because the weather has become colder in recent years, the grain harvest has been very poor, and there are very few people left there.
