The inside and outside of Jingshi are like two worlds.

A straight street from Yongding Gate to Chengtian Gate is always so busy and lively, and when you first enter the door, you are even crowded with people.

Perhaps because it is located in the main road in and out of the city, and it is the junction of the north and south cities, it is very convenient to go to several markets in the north city and the alley and alley area of the west city, and merchants from all over the world always like to trade and sell goods here.

Some tourists from other places also enter the capital through this gate.

Zhang Wanbang's background is not low, but he never thought that the Beijing Division would be so prosperous, and he even lingered a little on the way to the palace to face the saint.

"Datong General Soldier Zhang Wanbang entered the palace [567 Chinese] face saint, please also pass the court."

After saying to the commander of the Yongwei Battalion guarding the Chengtian Gate, a eunuch soon ran out of the imperial city and led him to the three major halls through the Yongdao.

Zhang Wanbang is the first general to face the saint since the construction of the three major halls, and of course, this is also the only time he has entered the imperial city in his life.

To him, it was extremely majestic and reverent.

In the imperial city, it is spacious and generous, and there is no longer the feeling of crowding in the capital, which makes Zhang Wanbang breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked around and was immediately in awe.

I only saw bright red, golden, single dragon, double dragon, round, square, Xuanniao - all kinds of flags of various colors hunted in the wind, surrounded by the "Ming" character high flag, bright like clouds.

didn't have time to look more, as the eunuch walked through a temple, a team of brocade captains came in front of him.

Sixteen guards dressed in brocade robes, wearing leopard skin hats, red satin robes, and swords hanging from their waists, led by the one hanging the waist badge of the Beizhen Fusi, walked neatly and steadily and quickly through the imperial city.

I don't know how long I walked, and the outline of an extremely powerful hall began to appear in front of me.

From a distance, the largest "Ming" character high banner fluttering in the sky above the main hall, two classes of golden spears, waist with long knives in front of the Han generals are lined up on both sides, tightly guarded.

Take a closer look? There is a plaque hanging on the temple? There are three vigorous and powerful characters in the book - Huangji Palace.

This is the place where the imperial court held court meetings in the past, and the courtiers lined up to play to the emperor.

Suffered from a fire during the Wanli period? From the forty-seventh year of Wanli to the beginning of the fourth year of the Apocalypse? It took four years and cost tens of millions? The renovation was finally completed.

The three major halls are the façade of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the civil and military in various places? Or are they envoys of other nations and tribes? Since then, all of them have been shocked.

As for the platform, it is located in the Imperial Palace.

The platform is just a general name, and generally the civil and military generals summoned by the platform have to go to the Huangji Hall to meet the emperor in a deeper corner of the previous court.

The renovated Imperial Palace? The whole body is covered with bright gold tiles? The pillars are tattooed with the dragons carefully carved by craftsmen, and the Xuande furnace is lined up on both sides, and incense is continuously burned to ensure that the winter is as warm as summer in the main hall, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Walk to the temple? Zhang Wanbang found that every step of his own? can emit a very clear echo, as long as there is a slight movement in the hall? You can hear it clearly.

The eunuch led Zhang Wanbang to the platform, bowed down to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty? Datong General Zhang Wanbang brought. ”

Hear this? Although Zhang Wanbang knows that he is a little rude? But he still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and raised his head slightly, wanting to see what the emperor he was shouting for every day looked like.

......

Zhu Youxiao was holding a book in his hand and watching, Wei Zhongxian didn't know when he had left, and when he heard this, he immediately put down the book and smiled at Zhang Wanbang:

"It's my great hero who is here, and I've been waiting for you for the past few days!"

"Come on, sit down!"

After the words fell, Wang Chaofu waved his hand and ordered a little eunuch to come up with a stool considerately.

Zhang Wanbang didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to be so approachable, surprised and delighted, but he looked more restrained, and his ass was only shallow next to the side of the stool.

"I originally wanted Jiang Bi to rescue Datong, and you Xuanda to rescue Zhencheng together, but I didn't expect that you would do it yourself."

"If I'm not mistaken, your headquarters is only 20,000, and counting the soldiers and horses on the Western Road is less than 50,000, how can you defeat more than 100,000 Western cavalry in the plain?"

"Come, talk and listen."

When Zhang Wanbang heard this, he muttered a little in his heart.

More than 100,000, how did Your Majesty hear that there are more than 100,000 Western cavalry?

"Your Majesty, according to the estimation of the cavalry of Lin Danbatur besieging the town, it should be in the number of 80,000, not more than 100,000."

Zhu Youxiao smiled when he heard this, and immediately smiled again:

"You're honest, but it's still difficult for 80,000 Western cavalry to be defeated with 40,000 infantry on the plain, right?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's good planning!"

Zhang Wanbang first slapped a sycophant, and then said:

"Although the cavalry of the West is numerous, Datong is the jurisdiction of the ministers. Subordinate to Datong Town for five years, what is the terrain everywhere, which river is turbulent, which is enough to supply 80,000 horses and horses, I know it well. ”

"The cavalry of the West is the mainstay, and the ministers have an understanding of the war of the West Capture, and their people are soldiers in wartime, grazing in their spare time, and they must count horses in each battle."

"When a man has a number of horses, he needs to change his mount, so he needs to find a water source for his army to drink. Within 30 miles of Datong Town, only the rivers on both sides of Dengbai Official Road have this effect. ”

"Therefore, the minister decided not to go directly to rescue the town, but to go the opposite way, cut off the water source for his drinking and horse transfer, recapture Dengbai official road, and then set up ambushes on both sides to break the army!"

The more Zhu Youxiao listened, the more excited he felt.

Although Zhang Wanbang said it lightly, as if it was to recapture the official road and set up an ambush, Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that it was almost impossible for the 40,000 infantry army to defeat a cavalry of this scale on the plain.

This requires a general to have the ability to adapt to changes, and the battle strategy and scheduling cannot be weak.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the bottom of the stairs and asked:

"I remember that your grandfather's name is Zhang Xun, and he served as the commander of the right guard of Datong during the Jiajing and Longqing periods, and he also listed a separate biography, and he was rumored to be a famous general in the army, right?"

Zhang Wanbang nodded sneeringly, he really didn't know what to say about it.

To be modest and say that my grandfather can't do it is disrespectful to his old man, but if you just respond like this, you will be very arrogant, and you will be arrogant in front of the emperor, which is not a good thing.

The best response is to remain silent.

Zhu Youxiao didn't notice the embarrassment of the courtiers below, and said to himself:

"Your father's name is Zhang Bingzhong, he inherited the official position of the commander of the right guard, and later he was promoted to the commander of the Shanxi Xingdu Division because of his military exploits, and he also participated in the Battle of Banzhou, did I remember correctly?"

"Your Majesty is right." Zhang Wanbang said.

Zhu Youxiao said "um" at this time, slapped his thigh, and sighed: "My grandfather's two generations are all people who have made meritorious contributions to the country!" Now that he has cultivated such a good son for the country, it is not easy, it is not easy to ......"

"Zhang Wanbang ——!"

Hearing the summons behind him, Zhang Wanbang was excited, and immediately got up and said:

"The minister is here!"

Zhu Youxiao stood up and said with a straight face: "I promoted you to be the commander of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, added the rank of deputy chief soldier of Shanxi, and gave the prince Shaobao." ”

"From top to bottom of the Datong Army, the Ministry of War Examination Department is responsible for testing and describing merit, and the matter of promotion and reward must be determined as soon as possible, and then reported to me, there must be no mistakes!"

"In three days, I will review the victorious army outside the Chengtian Gate!"
