The Henghe River is wide and longitudinal, and there are many ferries, and after the army crosses the northern border, it can go directly to Shangjing.

The Henghe Zhoukou Ferry is the largest ferry port in the northern part of Zhongchu, and now there are hundreds of warships piled up here.

Henghe was located in the territory of Central Chu, so the Chu army did not pay attention to the training of the naval army. The boats of Zhoukoudu were also temporarily gathered together by the Chu army, but this could only delay time and could not stop the Li army.

There were 20,000 Chu troops to the south of the Heng River, all of whom were stationed at Zhoukou Ferry, while the Li army to the north had 110,000 troops stationed at the four crossings of the Heng River.

The north side of the boat port had the largest army, with nearly 50,000 people, and was the main force of the Li army.

Chen Feng, the commander of Zhoukoudu, led 20,000 Chu troops to confront the Li army across the river. He concentrated all the boats he could take away at the mouth of the boat, and burned those that could not be taken away.

Now that most of Zhongchu's troops were in the south, he received an order to make every effort to delay the army and strive to hold out until the reinforcements returned to Beijing.

Chen Feng was full of confidence when he received this task, although he only had 20,000, but he was convinced that with the help of Hengjiang Natural Insurance, he could block 100 with one block.

As for the management of the rest of the ferries, he didn't pay attention to them at all, only the boat crossing on both sides of the river was gentle and wide, and he could raise troops at the same time, and for the rest of the ferries, he arranged three or four thousand people, as long as there was any movement, he was allowed to let these people come and go.

Chen Feng estimated that if the army did its best to build a hundred big ships, it would take at least half a month to rush the work. In half a month, if the reinforcements are fast, they should be able to rush over. When the time comes, the Chu army will cross the river and attack, and it will definitely kill this group of Li troops on their backs.

Chen Feng stood on the ferry at this time, looking at the army on the other side of the river, full of spirit, and had a kind of impulse of pride.

"The big husband has his head on the sky, his feet on the ground, and he has made great achievements. Chen Feng couldn't help but chant.

"The general said it well. "Immediately, there was a lieutenant to respond.

"Haha, just a dog, I hold thousands of warships in my hands, turning my hands into clouds, and covering my hands for ......"

"General, it's not good! It's not good! Unknown cavalry suddenly appeared in the west, and the western camp had been broken. "Some soldiers rushed up.

"What?" Chen Feng was shocked when he heard this.

"Report, General, there are troops attacking the camp from the east. ”

"Report, General, there is a large force of cavalry rushing quickly from the west, and General Chen is organizing to meet the enemy. ”

"Report, General, the East Camp has been broken. ”

“......”

Chen Feng was stunned by the sudden series of news and was a little at a loss.

"General, quickly withdraw, it seems that you can't stand it. A general next to him persuaded.

"Hmm. ”

Chen Feng nodded mechanically, mounted his horse with the support of his guards, and hurriedly retreated.

As soon as Chen Feng withdrew, in less than half an hour, the entire line of Zhoukoudu was routed and fell into the hands of the enemy.

......

Hou Yu stood in the camp of the Chu army at the mouth of the boat, looking at the camp full of gunsmoke, and felt a little disdainful in his heart.

This time, it only used a few hundred cavalry to completely break through the Chu army camp, which was simply unchallenging.

"Zhou Shuai, you see that the Chu army is really rubbish and vulnerable. Now that Shangjing is in front of me, I took the forbidden cavalry to copy them first. Hou Yu said to Zhou Quan.

"The three princes can't, although the Chu army is defeated, but the strength cannot be underestimated. Zhou Cheng saw that Hou Yu wanted to lead the forbidden cavalry army to attack Beijing, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Although with the current strength of the army, it is not a big problem to raid Beijing, but after all, the forbidden cavalry army is the treasure bump of the country.

"Haha, I think Zhou Shuai is too worried. Looking at the whole continent, who else can compete with my forbidden cavalry? Wherever my iron hooves go, everything is in ashes. Just an unprotected Shangjing City, how can I endure it. Zhou Shuai, you won't be afraid that this prince will steal the credit, right?"

What Hou Yu said at the beginning was full of pride, but when he got to the back, he was a little angry.

Zhou Cheng immediately replied: "The third prince knows that Ben Shuai has no such intentions, but he is just ......"

"Then please ask Zhou Shuai to wait for the good news of this prince, drive!"

Before Zhou Cheng's words could be spoken, Hou Yu had already jumped on his horse and whipped away.

......

After Han Ming received the news, he rushed all the way with his guards day and night, and finally rushed to the capital.

At this time, the official road in Shangjing was full of pedestrians carrying, carrying, dragging and pushing goods, most of these people were wealthy nobles with some assets in Shangjing, and when they heard that the war was going to threaten Shangjing, they fled out of the city one after another.

For the first time, the people who went to Beijing had to leave the ancestral land where they had lived for generations because of the war, and everyone's faces were full of sorrow, and their heavy footsteps did not slow down in the slightest because of Han Ming's arrival.

Han Ming and a group of guards walked against the crowd, but fortunately, the official road in Shangjing was wide, so it would not be congested.

Without stopping all the way, Han Ming went straight to the palace when he entered the city.

In Shangjing, most of the shops are closed, only one or two are slow, the guys are taking care of the goods, and the proprietress is counting the lag of the boss's news on the side.

Shangjing, a century-old city, gradually became blurred under the haze of war.

When Zhao Ming learned that the Li army was coming, he paid more attention to the defense of Shangjing, and all the soldiers of the city defense battalion who were on shift were dispatched one after another to maintain the fragile order.

Because Han Ming went out on the expedition and took away Xu Hua and Zhang Dabiao, and also took away the 20,000 elite troops of the city defense battalion by the way, so now the troops of the city defense battalion are more than 30,000 points, and they are distributed to the entire Shangjing, which is completely insufficient.

The forbidden army guarding the palace gate was very familiar with Han Ming, and did not do too many inspections and reports, allowing Han Ming to arrive at the inner hall smoothly all the way.

"General Han, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, go with the miscellaneous family. A little father-in-law hurried over and said to Han Ming.

Han Ming nodded and followed closely behind this father-in-law.

"What about Gonggong Cao?" Han Ming asked curiously.

"Your Majesty asked Gonggong Cao to escort the priest to the south. ”

Gonggong Cao escorted the archpriest to the south, Han Ming could also understand, after all, the archpriest was old and needed protection, and in the entire Shangjing, it was estimated that there was no better candidate than Gonggong Cao.

The storm is coming, not only the people inside and outside the city are panicked, but these eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are also anxious.

Not long after leaving, Han Ming entered a large hall, and the hall was already full of ministers.

As soon as these ministers saw Han Ming appear, they all breathed a sigh of relief and were relieved, and Kuang Yue in the palace also smiled.

"General Han is back. ”

"General Han finally rushed back, and Shangjing was saved. ”

"Thank God, the sky is not dead. ”

These ministers couldn't stop sighing, and they were overjoyed that Han Ming could come back in time.

For the first time, Han Ming felt that he was in a thousand rays of light, and none of these ministers above the court was the best among the people, the existence of one in a thousand. And now, in their eyes, he has become the only life-saving straw, and this feeling of being in the spotlight makes him a little fluttering.

"I don't know how many troops General Han brought back. Cui Zhan asked.

"I'm alone. Han Ming said.

"What?"

"Alone?"

"General Han will come back alone?"

Everyone had different expressions, some were like frosted eggplants, some let out heavy sighs, and even worse, they felt like they were being bullied, and glared at Han Ming angrily.

"General Han, do you know that Your Majesty has just received news that Zhoukoudu has been captured by enemy thieves not long ago, and the fall of Zhoukoudu has now seriously threatened the safety of Kyoto, and you ...... Huh!"

"How could General Han act so recklessly. It is reported that the Liguo Forbidden Cavalry Army is also here, could it be that the general wants to block the thousands of iron cavalry of the Forbidden Cavalry with his own strength?"

"General Han's move is very unwise, very unwise!"

Everyone was talking about it, almost all of them accusing Han Ming of being rash.

Han Ming stood in place without saying a word the whole time, making it impossible to see his thoughts.

"Have you finished speaking? Han Aiqing was summoned back by me, and you are accusing Han Aiqing of accusing me like this?" Kuang Yue's face was gloomy and she said coldly.

Seeing Kuang Yue's gloomy face, the ministers knew that something was wrong, and they apologized one after another.

Kuang Yue didn't pay attention to them, waved her hand and retreated, leaving only Han Ming.

When everyone left in a hurry, Kuang Yue rubbed his forehead with his hand. In the past few days, the bad retribution has continued, and since the beginning of the Dragon Pass, there has been no good news coming, and she has lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

Han Ming also noticed Kuang Yue's thin body, and felt a little distressed, so he unconsciously walked to Kuang Yue's side.

"You've lost weight lately. ”

Fortunately, there is no one left and right, otherwise he would have to wear a hat that disrespects the emperor.

Kuang Yue looked up at Han Ming, her eyes slightly red.

"I don't know, I don't know what to do. My people need me, but I can't do anything about it. Watching the enemy approach day by day, but I really don't know what else to do except listen to their nagging, listen to Cui Envoy's advice, and listen to Hu Zhiguan's comfort. Han, am I not worthy to be this emperor?"

After listening to Kuang Yue's cry, Han Ming leaned in and touched her hair.

"You've done a good enough job, and no one is more competent than you. Don't worry, I'm back, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

Being comforted by Han Ming like this, Kuang Yue couldn't hold back any longer, wrapped her arms around Han Ming, hugged him tightly, and sobbed.

At the end of the day, she's just an adult girl.
