The officials of the six ministries looked at Yan Chengjin, what kind of strategy did this son have?

But in addition to Emperor Hongzhi, even Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, can't read it.

After Xiao Jing sealed the policy, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the military department and asked again: "Is there any news of the prince?" ”

Qin Hong looked left and right, and the cabinet and his colleagues in the six ministries all shook their heads and sighed.

Before going down, Your Majesty will ask again.

It's been almost a month, and what Your Majesty and they are most afraid of is hearing the news of the death of the crown prince.

There is no news, but good news.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no news yet, Jinyiwei knows that Your Majesty is anxious, and if there is news, he will definitely send him back to the court in a hurry for eight hundred miles."

Yan Chengjin was worried, and Zhu Houzhao received the box lunch.

After all, he is not Wang Shouren, he does not have the aura of a saint, Jiajing has not been born yet, who will the throne be passed on?

Emperor Hongzhi secretly calculated, nearly a month, enough to rush back from Datong, and couldn't help but worry: "Send someone to investigate again." ”

Qin Hong nodded and walked outside the palace gate, but saw a figure rushing up from the imperial steps, it was Yang Bo, the brocade guard.

"Got news of the prince?"

Yang Bo turned his head and glanced at him suspiciously, and walked into the main hall without hesitation.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes tightened, and he unconsciously sat up, but he was afraid of hearing bad news, so he opened his mouth slightly.

The cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries, their spirits trembled violently, and Jinyiwei is back!

"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates chased to Shanyin, Datong Mansion, and heard the news of the prince's return to Beijing."

This son of a son hasn't come back, huh?

Emperor Hongzhi thought that Jinyiwei would bring back good news, and the idea that had just come to him was poured with a basin of cold water.

The joy on Liu Jian's face dissipated, and he was disappointed.

Xiong Wei looked at Yang Bo: "Where did you hear the news?" ”

"The shopkeeper of the inn and the restaurant."

"How many people did you ask?"

"I asked eight people, and they all said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had gone back." Yang Bohu replied suspiciously.

Xiong Qian and the others glanced at each other, and their eyes exuded a sudden realization.

How could it be that all eight of them saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince haunting, and pointed to the capital together.

"According to the minister's opinion, the prince bought off the shopkeeper of the inn and confused the news of Commander Mu." Xiong said.

Yan Chengjin agrees with Xiong Wei's analysis, and Zhu Houzhao has fought wits and courage with Jinyiwei since he was a child, and he knows their style of acting.

Emperor Hongzhi was relieved that the crown prince was still alive.

Li Dongyang asked, "What about Commander Mu?" ”

"Command the envoy to lead the crowd to Yansui, so as not to make mistakes and omissions on the part of the prince." When Yang Bo saw the faces of the hundred officials, he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really hadn't come back.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Qin Hong: "The Jingying army led by Yang Yiqing should be about to arrive in Yansui, right?" ”

"The minister guesses that it should be these two days."

Yang Yiqing led an army of 20,000 Beijing camps from Xuanfu to Yansui in the northwest.

There is no wagon, and all staff are equipped with compressed biscuits.

The situation outside the customs is flat, and it may be possible to reach Yansui faster.

……

Northwest, Yansui.

The fighting was fierce in the wasteland, and Zhu Houzhao saw the white blades of the pro-army stabbing into the stomachs of the captives, hooking out a few blood sausages.

He was also amazed to find that the letter cannon could not only hide the horns of the Tatars.

It can also intimidate the Tatar horses, causing them to panic and raise their front hooves.

Isn't the Hongyi General even more powerful?

"Quick, General Hongyi!"

"General, it's hard to distinguish between friend and foe......

"Empty the cannon! Who told you to stuff the projectile. ”

Boom, boom, boom.

The loud noises of the Hongyi generals rang out one after another, and the Tatar horses were frightened and galloped uncontrollably.

The same was true of the Ming army, who threw people off their horses.

Yan Kesong looked ahead worriedly, Cheng Jin, if my father dies on the border, it will be the prince's fault.

In ancient times, Zhao Zilong rescued Adou, and now Yan Kesong rescued Zhu Houzhao.

This dog prince is not much stronger than Adou, but his father is not Zhao Zilong.

"Tang Cavalry passed on the general's order, from now on, under the command of General Zhang, the right army will charge with the general and rescue the mighty general!"

Zhang Yanyu grabbed Yan Kesong and persuaded: "As the commander-in-chief, how can the general constitution go deep alone? If the Tartars capture you, the morale of the army will be shattered! ”

Yan Kesong scolded and scolded, if the official doesn't go, the Ming Dynasty will be gone.

But the Tatars could not be told that the prince was in the army, so nothing could be explained.

"Wave the flag of the right army! Drum vibrating! ”

The sound of the drum is loud, and the drum is different from the foot drum, which is the signal for the advance of the army.

The beating of the drum is a signal to charge and kill the enemy, and if you don't sound gold, you can't retreat.

When the soldiers heard the sound of drums and knew that the military order had changed, they all turned their heads to look at the Chinese army.

I saw that the white flag was vivid, and he nodded to the front: The right army charged!

Although I was surprised, the military order was like a mountain!

Zuo Zongyi and Lin Song led the front battalion and confronted the Tatars head-on.

Seeing that the Chinese army had issued a military order, Yan Kesong led the battalion soldiers on the right flank, like a sharp blade, separating the flesh of the prey and going deeper.

"How can he be so confused!"

The Lord will be slain, and this battle will not be fought, and the morale that has condensed into the blade of the sword will collapse into water.

Lin Song saw that the momentum was not right, and rushed to the horse and said: "Subordinate to help Lord Zongxian!" ”

"You can't go!" Zuo Zongyi grabbed him: "Dayan Khan knows that you have taken refuge in him, you go to protect him, and the Tartars will know that he is the commander." ”

Zhu Houzhao got off the horse, and it was easy to be shot when riding on the horse.

The army became thinner and thinner, and even the Tatars rushed to his side, and their own soldiers slashed and slashed, taking care of themselves.

A thin Tatar rushed at him, and Zhu Houzhao was about to slash him to death with a knife.

"The slave is Liu Xiaoqiang!"

Zhu Houzhao blinked: "Liu Daban? If you dare to commit treason, this palace will kill you now. ”

"The slave and maid went to the enemy country to be spies, and did not surrender to the enemy." Liu Jin was happy.

I never dreamed that I would meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here.

Seeing a figure from afar, it felt familiar, so it sneaked over.

The soldiers raised their knives and wanted to hack to death this captive wearing animal velvet, but Zhu Houzhao stopped them.

Everything in the steppes was plundered, including slaves.

There is no law between the tribes, and the robbery is a hundred times more serious than that of the Ming Dynasty, and one tribe will be replaced by another tribe at any time.

Walking on the grassland, sooner or later you will encounter the captive Tartars, and Liu Jin was captured by the Tatars.

He was originally a subject of the Taimu Wu tribe, but the Tai Mu Wu was destroyed by the Duoyan tribe and captured as a slave, and he was arrested when he saw a strong man.

The fighting became more and more fierce, and the Tatar army was like a wall, separated between the main force of the Ming army and the Gansu border army led by Zhu Houzhao.

The border army in Gansu was weak, and the Tatars killed more and more.

The commander who waved the order under the blue banner was shot by the Tatars.

Zhu Houzhao saw that the situation was not good, and pulled out his knife to boost morale: "The survivors of this battle will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" ”

Ah, I'm going to die.

This palace is in the palace, and I have never seen so many dead people, lying on the ground, all of them are dead corpses.

Liu Jin got used to it, took out the dry cheese of the Tatars from his arms, and chewed a few bites: "Your Highness, do you want it?" ”

"Something like a dog, I'm still in the mood to eat it, hehe, half of the palace." He has not yet eaten real Tatar rations.

Zhu Houzhao chewed it, the taste was extremely strange, and after only a moment, his stomach cramped.

"This palace wants to make a big compliment."

The pro-soldier is full of black lines, this is a war, you can't hold back?

Zhu Houzhao was in unbearable colic, and then squatted down.

The next operation, the Tatars can't believe their eyes, you are, this is ????

At this time, following the traces of the march on the road, Mu Bin chased him to the battlefield and saw the yellow flag from a distance, which was the camp tent of the Chinese army!

Not daring to delay, he galloped away.

"Lord Zhang, where is the mighty general from the imperial court?"

When he was appointed governor in the capital, Zhang Yanyu saw Mu Bin and knew that he was the imperial history of the Jinyi Guard: "Trapped in the army by the Tatars, Lord Zongxian has personally rescued him, why is Mou commanding ......?"

Before the words fell, Mu Binle turned his horse's head, led the Jinyi guard, and rushed towards the main Tatar army desperately.

scolded in my heart, with such a prince, my life is suspended.
