The ancient road is westerly, a nearly 10,000 horses in Datong is slowly heading north, the team is mainly infantry, only a small number of cavalry, and there are nearly 100 carts of baggage, which are still mixed with more than 10 prisoner cars, and what is more interesting is that there are female soldiers in this team.

Li Yan has a black horse in his crotch, a divine horse is extraordinary, a young woman on the right side, wearing armor and crossing the knife heroically and not letting the eyebrows go, but it is the red lady.

The two of them stopped on the side of the road and watched the long dragon walk slowly.

"When will you be able to do it slowly?" Li Yan frowned.

"I'm afraid that the fighter plane will be delayed, and the overseer will blame" The red lady was also worried.

Chang Yu said a word, Chunxiang 800 miles of urgent message sent to Taiyuan, Jinyiwei and Dongchang's manpower was immediately transferred, the prisoners were sent to the capital, Li Yan led the troops to immediately go north to Shanhaiguan to listen to the order.

Another: Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong and two hundred elite cavalry with ligaments.

Even if Tu Yuan originally belonged to Teng Xiangwei, Jia Waixiong belonged to Jin Wuwei, and Guo Ren belonged to Zhou Yuji's people, but under Chang Yu's order, he was directly transferred.

Why did Li Yan go north, everyone knows this reason, but they just don't say it.

It's not that Chang Yu can't believe Li Yan, but he can't trust those soldiers.

Shi Kefa was ordered to go south to suppress the bandits, Zhou Yuji outflanked him from the west, and Li Yan would inevitably accompany the army to help in Taiyuan, but all his subordinates were soldiers who had just surrendered, and it was okay if they were useless, but it would be very bad if they came to a rebellion.

In order to be sure, Chang Yu decided to immediately transfer Li Yan and his wife north to assist him in fighting the Qing army.

"General Li" At this moment, Jiang Quan and a few Dongchang stalls came over.

Li Yan was pardoned by the imperial court for abandoning the secret and defecting to the Ming Dynasty, but instead he was awarded a guerrilla general (not a real general, just a title, only those who were awarded the general military seal in the Ming Dynasty could be a general) Jiang Quan and others were not wrong to call him a general.

"The pace of such a march is too slow, and we still have to do it beforehand."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not miss the overseer's important affairs." Li Yan knew that Jiang Quan was Chang Yu's confidant and a person from Dongchang, and Dongchang had always been responsible for the emperor, so he came to greet him, which was very respectful.

It was not only Jiang Quan and those prisoner carts who left first, but also Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong's two hundred elite cavalry.

"Lady's ......" Li Yan wanted to speak and stopped.

"You go first, I'll come to the palace" knows the husband Mo Ruo's wife, and the red lady knows what Li Yan thinks.

The couple clasped their hands together and nodded emphatically.

In the spring of April, it is already the season for the grass to grow and warbler to fly in the south of the Yangtze River, but the north is bitterly cold, and the cold wind is not in the deep winter.

Chang Yu rode on horseback, although the injury was not healed, faint pain, but many days in the city of grievances swept away, although there is no dazzling scenery along the way, but the dead branches withered, the wilderness cottage is also a splash of ink painting, not interesting.

The 300 Gongzi battalion galloped along the official road to Jizhen in the north, followed by the Jiading United, then the baggage car, and then the ......

Chang Yu was suddenly in a bad mood, and he was gritted his teeth by the last popularity.

Wu Zhong, who was already Chang Yu's personal guard with a knife at this time, went north with Chang Yu to seek wealth and nobility with his military exploits.

When he left Beijing, Chang Yu asked him if he could ride a horse, and Wu Zhong was very modest and said that he was not good, but he could ride.

From the palace to Andingmen, let the horse go all the way and slowly but it was still stable, Chang Yu secretly said that this kid still knows modesty.

Who knew that after going to the official road, Chang Yu knew that this thing was indeed an honest man, he really could only ride, but he couldn't run, let him let the horse run wildly, he also raised the whip and reined in a good manner, but the horse under the crotch, struggling left and right, either spinning in place, or running to the fields by the road, swearing to die not to let Wu Zhong Ruyi.

Seeing this guy fall farther and farther away, Chang Yu was a little worried, not worried that Wu Zhong would take the opportunity to escape, but worried that he would lose it or be killed by the horse.

Zongma went back to look for him, but saw that the goods were pulling the reins, dragging the stubborn horse on foot, and when he saw Chang Yu coming, he smiled: "This is a stubborn donkey!" ”

you, Chang Yu was not angry, and whipped towards Wu Zhong's mount.

The mount was in pain, and as soon as he shook his hooves, he couldn't help but drag Wu Zhong to eat, and then he broke free and chased the horse team and galloped away.

Wu Zhong got up, stunned, glanced at Chang Yu, and then chased after him, shouting: "Straight donkey, I don't believe in evil......"

That's a horse, not a donkey!

The little eunuch roared.

In the end, the Gongzi battalion marched first under the leadership of Fan Jiaqian and Li Tiezhu, Hu Ling led the family Ding and then guarded, Chang Yu looked at Wu Zhongxun with a dark face, oh no, it's a horse!

Jizhen, one of the important towns in the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, was originally established to contain other border towns and Beijing camps in the nine borders, play a role in preventing rebellion, and is also an important internal defense line against Manchu and Mongolia, and take care of each other with the Beijing camp guarding the capital.

This defensive front starts from the Shanhaiguan Pass of Qinhuangdao in the east, and reaches Juyongguan in the west, including Changping, Pinggu, and Miyun are all under its jurisdiction, and its status is very important, because it defends the capital from the east and west of the north, and the west gate of the capital is Juyong Pass from the capital, and the ancient north entrance of the iron gate of the capital is two hundred miles away from the capital, so there is Jizhen and danger, and the capital is called a terrifying one, and only Xuanfu and Datong can be compared with it in the nine sides.

Also because of its importance, the garrison has always been abundant, up to more than 100,000 during the Wanli years, and set up a chief military officer, three deputy chief military officers, such as Tang Tong is the general soldier of the Jizhen Central Association.

Jizhen has produced a lot of outstanding chief military officers, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were both were, but today, Jizhen is not only a few garrisons, scattered in various passes, but also vacant chief military officers, here Tang Tong is the boss.

Before the child (eleven o'clock) the palace battalion was the first to arrive at Jizhen, and before half an hour Chang Yu also arrived with his family, only the baggage vehicle was still ten miles away.

Immediately ordered to rest on the spot, the family began to make preparations, and when the baggage cart arrived, they began to set up camp and make a fire for cooking.

The seat of Jizhen is located in Santunying (now in Qianxi County, Tangshan, Hebei), which is still 200 miles away from here, and there is no big barracks for them to stay overnight, let alone expect people to take care of food.

Camp in the wilderness

The banner of the palace battalion hunted in the cold wind, there were hundreds of military tents around, bonfires crackled, and the eunuch soldiers gathered around to eat silently or whisper.

Under the flagpole, Chang Yu sat on the edge of the tent and nibbled on a roast hare, which was extremely fresh, not far away, Wu Zhong squatted on the ground and dragged the head of the mount and kept muttering something in its ear, occasionally his eyes skimmed the hare in Chang Yu's hand and licked his lips.

Chang Yu finished eating the roast rabbit, shrunk into the tent and closed his eyes in contemplation, the mountain wind was whistling outside, his ears heard the sound of the flag flying, his mind was full of Jin Ge Iron Horse, thinking about going north to resist the enemy, some excited, some nervous, and even a little scared.

The noise outside became smaller, his eyelids became heavier, and he turned over and saw a figure reflected in the tent in a daze, and he turned over violently, who?

A sharp blade swept through his neck, the chill penetrated through his skin, goosebumps suddenly broke out all over his body, Chang Yu was frightened, kicked over the black shadow, and shouted: "There are assassins!" ”

The black shadow rolled out of the tent, and there was a panic outside, and a large number of people surrounded him to catch the assassin!

Where are the assassins?

Li Tiezhu, Fan Jiaqian, Hu Ling and others frowned and looked at Chang Yu with a frightened face in front of the tent.

Wu Zhong carried a long knife and walked slowly with a murderous aura: "Where is the assassin?" I'm afraid you're having a nightmare."

Chang Yu's tent is under the military flag, and the military flag is in the middle of the camp, not to mention that there are light and dark sentinels on duty outside the camp, and there are Li Tiezhu's three henchmen inside to patrol the body, not to mention that there is a knife in his hand on his side, the Yellow River is broken, and the ghost is difficult to approach Wuzhong, what assassin can touch his side unconsciously.

Could it be that I have done too much bad things, are suspicious, or am ......

Li Tiezhu and the others looked at Wu Zhong, and the hand holding the knife slowly exerted force.

Chang Yu shook his head lightly, Wu Zhong had no reason to kill him, let alone be so sneaky, and the assassin's figure was thin.

Battalion-wide search!

Chang Yucai didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, let alone a nightmare, and he remembered the cold knife qi in his body.

After a toss, the entire camp was turned over three times, and nothing was found before finally stopping.

But no one noticed a black shadow on the top of the flagpole that was one of the flags.

Chang Yu went north, lacked military rations, and begged for tickets
